The cast of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" season 7 experienced one of their more dramatic episodes this past week.
RHOA season 7 cast member Kandi Burruss' attempt to organize a "peaceful" dinner party was a major fail as former friends NeNe Leakes and Cynthia Bailey, who may have had one of the most tragic fallouts within the Bravo show, were unable to mend their relationship.
"It would be nice for you guys to get back on speaking terms," stated Burruss during the dinner party, according to People.
Burruss' words were of no help to the two ladies of RHOA season 7 as they ended up continuing their ongoing fight once again.
"She knows what it is. I know what it is. I didn't wake up one day saying, 'I'm not going to be friends with NeNe anymore," Bailey said to Leakes.
Leakes had reportedly called Cynthia Bailey's husband, Peter, a "bitch" in Mexico.
"Why didn't you call me and say, 'Hey friend?,'" asked Leakes.
She added, "You let your husband get in your head. You know I'm a good-ass friend, I get really heated like you're some innocent person here. I'm the one who's dumb, because I though you was a real f***ing friend. I never thought you would throw our friendship away. I had your back when no one else had your back."
Leakes ended the conversation with a tearful, "I loved you like a f***ing sister."
RHOA season 7 has seen some dramatic, heated arguments after it premiered last month, just as other "Real Housewives" franchises, and the executive producer of the hit Bravo reality television show doesn't want anyone thinking that it's working negatively for the cast.
"I don't agree that 'Real Housewives of Atlanta,' 'Love & Hip Hop' or any show that predominately stars Black women is perpetuating any negative stereotypes. When it comes to white reality stars, no one says 'Look at Kyle Richards on 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,' she misrepresents us.' Or, 'Oh my gosh, look at Snooki on 'Jersey Shore,' she makes Italians look bad," explained Carlos King in a letter written exclusively for BET.com, according to AJC.com.
King added, "At the end of the day, this is a very lucrative business and when you look at the ratings of these [reality] shows, you'll see that they are a very in-demand television product. This is the reason that you're seeing more African-American ensemble shows on television because cable networks have started to take notice and say, 'Wait a second, there's a demographic out here that really wants to see content starring Black females.' Black people are really interested in seeing a reflection of themselves on television and not only that, white folks like to see us, too."
