{{Recap}} Real Housewives of Atlanta…Stating the Obvious: There’s a FAKE Due Date & Doctor In The House.

We’re back again for our recap of the ever entertaining Real Housewives of Atlanta. I’d like to call this post, stating the fuckin obvious. Two obvious things we all knew–Phaedra’s due date was faker than a $500 Chanel bag, and Dr. Tiy-e Muhammad was faker than Tammy Fae Baker’s tears on Sunday morning.

Compliments of the teaser and our inside scoop, we knew that tonight would be exciting w/ the discovery of the character known as “Dr. Tiy-e Muhammad.”

Last night, we witnessed the birth of Phaedra’s baby. She decided to have her baby in Augusta, as opposed to Atlanta. Her close friend, I don’t recall his name but dude looked like DC’s Marc Barnes was her doctor.

The moment that we’ve all been waiting on, the truth about Phaedra’s due date, was finally revealed before she went into labor. The doctor told her that she was full term, not 7-8 months, in front of her (very Christian) mother and Kandi. Apparently, its a big ‘no-no’ to have a baby before marriage in Phaedra’s family, hince her lying non-stop about it. When Dr. Marc Barnes (whatever, I don’t know that man’s name) told her how far along she was, Phaedra replied, “Oh, I’ve been told so many different dates, blah, blah,” Kandi just kinda looked and her mom didn’t say anything. Big elephant in the room (not going to insert the obvious joke here).

Moving along, they also show the delivery of Phaedra’s baby. And in her famous southern charm she says, “The first time I looked at him, he looked Chinese to me.” Nice Phaedra. Sidebar, did anyone notice that Phaedra had on a full face of make-up most of the time she was in the hospital. Lashes (minus the rhine stones), included. For once, i’m not mad at her.

During this episode, Kandi also had a birthday party arty at her clothing boutique, TAGS. Kim arrived w/ a large gift, which happened to be a typical gift–a dreadful wig. As Cynthia described, “it looked awful.” Nice, gesture, Kim. Kandi wasn’t feeling the wig either, and in her private camera cameo said, “I would’ve preferred the royalties from ‘Tardy for a Party.”Nothing else eventful happens at the party, besides the discussion of Phaedra’s due date.

NeNe, who we’ve actually seen on TV hosting and what-not lately, lands a new gig. She pitches the idea of herself doing celebrity reporting to Atlanta’s Channel 11. After a meeting and a brainstorming session, she’s welcomed on board and shares some ideas on who she’d like to interview like Tyler Perry, Jermaine Dupri, etc.

Fast forward to Sheree’s spades party. Sheree hosts a spades party and invites all the cast members, as well as Lisa Wu and her husband, her (Sheree’s) children, etc. Lawrence arrives in short-shorts and clogs. (Sidebar: Lawrence no likey Dr. Tiy-E’s loud, irritating laugh.)

When all of Sheree’s guests arrive, and before they start playing cards, Tiy-E decides to do a prayer over the Spades game. ((Who does that?)) During the party, NeNe arrives (fashionably late) and when introduced to Tiy-E,  interjects “Don’t I know you from somewhere?” After much side conversation, the ladies (Kandi, Lisa Wu, NeNe) confirm that Tiy-E was the center of a huge controversy in Atlanta, surrounding his credibility as a doctor. Long story short, dude claimed he was a doctor, folks claimed that he wasn’t.

One of the ladies flat out mention his involvment in the scandal and there’s a back-and-forth sorta 21 Questions about his degree and background. Tiy-e explained that he is a doctor of psychology, specializing in “marriage and family therapy,” but not a shrink, who received his  from Ashford University. Kandi’s mom shouts out, “did you get your degree online or at a school?” After much interrogation, he confirms that he received his doctorate online. The whole time, Sheree’s just kinda observing the entire situation. Even a blind man could see, that after Sheree’s dates w/ Tiy-e, something was lookin extra suspect. The episode ends w/ the spades game and the fake doctor.
