"I can't stand Phaedra's ass. I think Kim is crazy as f*ck. Nene has a big-ass mouth. And Sheree's not cute! She thinks she's cute, but she's not cute. And this is on the record. The only one I like is Kandi, and she's too soft. That's why she got played with Kim. And that's how I truly feel."

Deborah, NeNe is not in the wrong with her marriage. The man is the kind of man everyone is speaking of about Peter. He was broke when she got with him. He has had an affair on her several as a matter of fact. He has cause her to lose several friends. Then he goes on public media and talks about their personal busy. That is a big NO NO! Now I'm not saying NeNe doesn't have issues. But I will say I take my hat off to her for been faithful although he hasn't and cause many problems in their marriage. Deborah you must not been watching very long. NeNe don't need to figure out what wrong with her husband she knows. And it's not petty stuff. As I stated above how he spoke ill of her on the radio to a stranger whom he barely knew. Now NeNe was very much out of line with the recent situation Kim. I was very shock with the way she handle herself.

hey black folks, would you be calling him ugly if he was white-skinned? i think not. so, stop self-hating. because alot of you posting are just as black. and are being called ugly everyday by the white ran media. that's why you don't see reflections of yourself. self-hate is suicide.

I agree (joed) that's one of the biggest problems in the black community, self hatred! PEOPLE HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT BEAUTY IS ONLY SKIN DEEP!

Ugly is ugly no matter what color the skin. Beauty's only skin deep, but ugly is to the bone, and Peter is SHOT! He's a cross between Uncle Ben's ugly brother, and a crusty-ass roach! U know U laughing! :>)

even though I do not like Peter's attitude towards Cynthia or in general, i agree with the quotes made of the other housewives. He should be happy someone as beautiful as Cynthia wants his old butt! He should pay her money back too

I agree with you Jones. I think Leon and Cynthia were like soulmates, maybe Leon wasn't ready to settle down. Peter is too much, when the finances are not right, marrying him is not the answer.

Uh, not to be petty or anything, but has anyone else noticed the lack of teeth in NeNe's and Peter's mouths? I'm just saying if they are on t.v. and kinda famous and why don't they go to the dentist and get their teeth fixed?

I never noticed but I know a LOT of people are afraid of the dentist... HAS ANYONE EVER SEEN REGGIE MILLER'S (RETIRED FROM THE PACER'S) TEETH? I'M SURE HE HAS MILLIONS BUT NEVER GOT THOSE "TRAIN TRACKS" LINED UP RIGHT! (unless he recently got them fixed)
