Usually, the women on Real Housewives of Atlanta are at each other’s throats, cursing each other out and throwing shade at one another. But now that Porsha Stewart and Kordell Stewart‘s marriage appears to be over, the women have put their differences aside to support Porsha.

Porsha Stewart: ‘RHOA’ Co-Stars Helped Her Through Divorce

“Porsha appreciates Kandi [Burruss'] support and she’s also appreciative of how all the ladies, even Kenya [Moore], rallied behind her during this time,” a source close to Porsha tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively.

“Porsha didn’t see [the divorce] coming,” the source says. Since then, the two have been involved in a nasty and very public divorce battle. Various reports say Kordell’s accusing Porsha of being a negligent stepmother to his son and that she parties to the wee hours of the morning — accusations that Porsha and her friends have denied.

“It’s sad and completely unwarranted, the way Kordell’s treating Porsha, but he’s an old school brother who’s stuck in the 1800′s so it makes sense,” the source says, adding “this could be a gift in disguise for her.”

As HollywoodLife.com previously reported, Kandi isn’t buying the story that Porsha was a stepmonster to Kordell’s son, Syre.

“She never really did anything unless [Kordell] was comfortable with it,” the singer/songwriter tells TMZ. That story “would be very hard for us to believe,” Kandi adds. “She was always totally supportive of her husband and anything he wanted her to do.”

TMZ also caught up with Kenya, Porsha’s nemesis, once the news broke and surprisingly, Kenya was 100-percent comforting.

“It’s unfortunate either way, you never want to see couples break up,” Kenya says. “I wish they can make it. I sent her a message. I know we had our differences but I never want to see anybody in any pain.”

Sound off HollywoodLifers. Do you think life after Kordell will be great for Porsha?

Kim is about to come face-t0-face with her enemy NeNe for the first time in forever! Will cannons be fired at Cynthia Bailey’s party?

Kim Zolciak faces her enemy NeNe Leakes at Cynthia Bailey‘s party during The Real Housewives of Atlanta Dec. 18 episode. It’s the first time they have seen each other since Cynthia’s wedding. Are fireworks about to explode between these two feuding housewives?

“This moment is huge for me,” Cynthia tells the cameras in a preview video. “I’m just so proud that I pulled this off.”

Cynthia shares with Kandi Burruss that Kim is coming to her party. “I invited everybody,” she says. “I know that Kim isn’t really going to a lot of things because she had the baby, but I invited her anyway.”

“My wedding was the last time [Kim and NeNe saw each other],” Cynthia continues. “I don’t know what’s going to happen. Hopefully they don’t cause a scene and ruin the party because it’s not about them tonight. It’s about me.”

So much for Cynthia’s wishful thinking. “Oh, god,” Kim sighs as NeNe enters the party.

“This is the first time since Cynthia’s wedding that I’ve actually seen NeNe or even been in the same space with her,” Kim adds.

Sheree Whitfield, Kim’s ally, warns NeNe not to start any drama. “Kim is here with Kroy, and I know NeNe is not going to mess with her with her baby daddy there,” she says. “He’s a football player. He can take her.”

The cast of The Real Housewives of Atlanta love to hate on NeNe Leakes. They’re constantly talking down about her finances, teeth, relationships and anything else they can think of. But NeNe doesn’t let all of their bad-mouthing get to her. Instead, NeNe says thank you to her haters (Sheree Whitfield, two-faced Kandi Burruss, Phaedra Parks and Kim Zolciak)  – in her new Bravo blog — for talking about her non-stop and helping her to build her fame.

“We are up to the fifth episode, and the girls have talked about me in every one,” NeNe writes. “Is that hating or what? My thoughts are simply that they have their own opinion and I have mine!”

NeNe won’t let the hate bring her down. “I just have to continue to do me,” she says. “I laugh when watching the show, because it seems as if they all got together and said, ‘We’re going to talk about her and say this and that! We’re going to say Cynthia is up her a–!’”

“All of this nonsense has truly backfired, because it has helped me in every way,” reveals NeNe. “So for that I say thank you!”

BFFs — do you think the RHOA stars need to lay off NeNe for a while?

2. Sheree Demands Child Support From Her Ex
3. NeNe: I’m Innocent

NeNe Leakes is supposed to co-host the sneak peek party for Bar One, the new bar that Cynthia Bailey‘s husband Peter is opening. But during The Real Housewives of Atlanta Dec. 4 episode, NeNe disrespects Cynthia — who is her closest friend out of the RHOA cast — by showing up during the last five minutes of Peter’s party. Is NeNe just trying to avoid running into her rumored ex-fling, Charles Grant — or is she starting war with Cynthia?

The episode starts off as Sheree Whitfield, Phaedra Parks and her husband Apollo step out to support Cynthia as she hosts a fashion show. Poor Cynthia stumbles over her words. After the show, the girls sip on some drinks when Charles — the guy that NeNe supposedly had an affair with — stops by the group to say hi. Cynthia invites Charles to Bar One’s sneak peek party.

Next, Cynthia’s sister Mallory and their mom stop by to say hi to Cynthia at her new agency. Her mom and sister grill Cynthia about the money issues that Peter is facing with opening Bar One. They don’t want Cynthia to lend Peter money.

The cameras then catch Sheree as she has a sit-down with her ex-husband Bob. She finally confronts him about the child support that he has failed to pay for the past four years. “Listen, you have been an able-body female for the past four years,” he says. “I feel like my kids maintain two households. You run around — $15,000 handbags.” Sheree in return threatens to take him to court and then walks away.

Kim Zolciak has her own issues going on at home. She is two weeks away from her due date, and her 14-year-old daughter Brielle is worried that the baby will destroy their family. But Kim talks to Brielle and calms her down.

Cynthia and NeNe then stop by Bar One to see how Peter is doing setting up for the party. NeNe agrees to co-host the opening night party before heading out. Cynthia then offers to help Peter financially with the bar. He turns down this offer because he doesn’t want Cynthia’s family involved in his business.

Sheree has a business meeting with Phaedra. She tells Phaedra that Bob hasn’t paid any child support. Phaedra encourages Sheree to take Bob to court, but Sheree needs some time. “I don’t like to make rash decisions,” she cries. “At the end of the day, he is the father of my kids.”

Finally it’s Bar One’s opening night, sneak peek party. Charles — NeNe’s rumored ex — and his girlfriend Marlo show up, but NeNe seems to be missing. Cynthia’s getting concerned about NeNe absence, so Peter decides to give Cynthia her surprise — a huge picture of Cynthia on display in the bar — to distract her. But once the unveiling is done, the girls decide to chat with Charles about what he thinks about NeNe running late. The women decide that NeNe is “purposely avoiding” the party because Charles is there.

“NeNe is supposed to co-host this party with Peter,” Sheree complains. “You think she’d be on time.”

NeNe finally shows up during the last five minutes of the party. Her exuse? “I had a real serious situation happen” NeNe tells Peter. She then walks around and greets all of the guests except for the other housewives, who are sitting with Charles.

“Charles Grant … everything you heard is a big fat lie,” NeNe tells the cameras. “I don’t owe Charles anything … not even a hello.”

Cynthia, as always, defends NeNe. She knows that NeNe didn’t want to see Charles — and tells everyone that’s why NeNe came so late. But, is this really the truth? Only time will tell.

NeNe Leakes and Sheree Whitfield have been fighting ever since they got into an explosive argument at the beginning of The Real Housewives of Atlanta season four. During the Nov. 27 episode, the two enemies came face-to-face for the first time since the onset of war. But due to Kandi Burruss‘ disturbing birthday surprise — a male stripper who could “suck his own” as NeNe puts it — NeNe and Sheree were forced to a temporary cease-fire and had to retreat behind their lines. But now that the strip show is done, the battle is back on — and NeNe is still claiming that she isn’t the aggressor in this fight.

“What is wrong wit these people! I can tell u this much, no matter what happens, they will ALWAYS find a way 2 blame me ALWAYS,” NeNe angrily tweeted Nov. 27.

NeNe was outraged that people were talking smack about her when at Kandi’s party. “It was Kandi’s party! Why they talking about me?” NeNe wondered. “Oh well, who else they gone talk about”

Sheree, on the other hand, had more hostile thoughts. ”delusional! She should b happy I didn’t say all the things I could have!” Sheree tweeted.

NeNe also couldn’t help but comment on the stripper’s nasty show. “I walked right out, took my eyes out of head, put them n my purse & drove home blind Hahahahaaaa LOL,” she said. “I’am over here laughing like crazy!…I drove home blind! I can’t True a monster jumped out the box! Pleasured himself which was classless n front of guess! Yes I use 2 dance but I never ate my own…”

Maybe NeNe was just mad that the stripper stole the spotlight away from her.

BFFs — are you Team NeNe or Team Sheree?

Enemies NeNe Leakes and Sheree Whitfield come face-to-face for the first time since their explosive fight at Kandi Burruss‘ 35th birthday party during The Real Housewives of Atlanta Nov. 27 episode. While war is about to break out between the two feuding housewives, their drama is momentarily stopped when Kandi’s surprise birthday present — a male stripper — steals the spotlight.

The show starts off as Kandi, Phaedra Parks and Sheree go to check out the event space where Kandi wants to throw the party. While scouting the location, Kandi informs Sheree that she invited NeNe. “Keep that b*tch on the other side,” Sheree warns.

Kandi has to tend to some matters with the event planner and leaves the two women for a moment. Phaedra then lets Sheree know that she has a surprise in store for Kandi — something “that only nature could create.”

After leaving the venue and Team Sheree behind, Kandi goes shopping with NeNe. They talk smack about Kim Zolciak as usual for a bit before Kandi the breaks the news to NeNe that Sheree and Phaedra will be at the party. “When you are as lowdown and dirty as Sheree was … you do not deserve the friendship of NeNe Leakes,” NeNe says to the cameras.

When it’s finally time for the party, all of the housewives except for Kim show up. NeNe is the last to arrive and of course she makes a grand entrance. When she walks in, she seems to think that she’s the star of the party. Sheree maintains herself, but the group is clearly separated. Poor Kandi is going back and forth between Team NeNe and and Team Sheree. ”I can’t” deal with Sheree, NeNe starts in.

But Phaedra breaks up the drama before it gets too heated with a surprise — a hot male stripper.

The stripper gets up on the stage and dances for Kandi. He pulls down his pants and really gets moving. “All of a sudden a monster comes out,” notes shocked NeNe.

The naughtiness continues as Kandi gets a lap dance — but  that’s not the finale. Apparently the stripper has something else in mind, but the cameras do not show his performance.

“Suck his own. It was nasty,” NeNe shouts. “It’s disgusting, you are sucking your … ” NeNe leaves the party disgusted.

Kandi seems oblivious to the fact that NeNe has just stormed out and that other people are completely outraged. “Me, Phaedra and Sheree were laughing,” Kandi gushes. But she quickly realizes that the other guests are utterly disturbed by the show, especially Kandi’s mom. “That wasn’t cool. That wasn’t cool at all,” her mom yells before leaving too.

Meanwhile, Kim has her own demonstration going on at her home. She’s four weeks away from her due date and wants to learn more about having a baby son. Kim and her boyfriend Kroy Biermann consult a baby expert about circumcision. The expert explains to Kim how the procedure works. “His little pee pee being cut … that scares me, ” Kim admits. But she doesn’t want him to “grow up with a turtleneck.”

Drama is about to go down at Kandi’s birthday party … in more ways than one.

Kandi Burruss has been splitting her time between the two sides of The Real Housewives of Atlanta war. First, she went to Miami with NeNe Leakes, and then came back and bashed NeNe to her enemies Kim Zolciak and Sheree Whitfield. During the Nov. 27 episode of RHOA, Kandi again has to divide her time between both groups at her birthday party … but she’s also in store for another surprise.

Phaedra Parks wants Kandi to enjoy her birthday, so she gives Kandi a special birthday present. A male stripper comes out of box and starts dancing for Kandi and the group in the preview video. He stops and begins to undress. For the finale, it appears that he pulls down his underwear, letting his naked body be a gift to all.

If that doesn’t stop the housewives in their tracks, what will?

Drama erupts at Kim Zolciak‘s baby shower during The Real Housewives of Atlanta Nov. 20 episode. While Kim wanted this to be a special celebration for her boyfriend Kroy Biermann to mark the birth of their first child together, Cynthia Bailey‘s husband Peter and Phaedra Parks‘ husband Apollo destroy the party by getting into a heated fight.

The baby shower starts out smoothly as Kim’s daughters give a heartfelt speech about Kroy. The family then opens presents. But as the night progresses, the housewives wonder where Cynthia is.

Cynthia finally arrives with Peter during the last 20 minutes of the party — sans a present. Kim is overwhelmed by the party and walks outside to take a break. When she comes back inside, all hell has broken loose!

Peter is talking about opening his bar, until conversation turns to the topic of a recent interview where he insulted Sheree Whitfield and Phaedra. Apollo starts getting defensive and blows up when Peter brings up his recent interaction with the police (he was pulled over by cops about a week earlier). The two begin arguing and chairs get pushed back. Peter and Apollo are in each others’ faces as security starts to walk over. After a lot of shouting, Apollo maturely decides to walk away instead of letting it turn physical.

Cynthia drags Peter out of the party. “I’m so embarrassed,” she cries to the cameras.

Phaedra is proud that Apollo defended her, but also glad that he restrained himself.

Meanwhile, NeNe Leakes has her own drama going on. Her estranged husband Gregg shows up at her house to pick up their son Brentt. They discuss how their split is effecting Brentt — he seems torn up about having to spend time at two different homes. NeNe and Gregg are still heading for divorce, but she can’t emotionally bring herself to sign the papers just yet.

Sheree checks in on the demolition going on at the property where she plans to build “Chateau Sheree.” “The contractor tells her it will be around eight months before the construction of the new home will be complete.

Kandi Burruss‘ two-timing and the ongoing battle between Sheree and NeNe are downplayed during this episode. But it may just be the calm before the storm.
