Speaker 1: Reality with the King is hosted by me, Carlos King.
Speaker 1: I'm an executive producer who have produced some of your
Speaker 1: favorite shows from the Real Housewives in Atlanta, New Jersey
Speaker 1: and my own creation, The Love and Marriage Franchise and
Speaker 1: Bell Collective. Every episode we recap reality television from the
Speaker 1: Real Housewives Franchise to The Bachelor or Selling Sunset. In
Speaker 1: addition to celebrity guests, whether in the unscripted space or
Speaker 1: scripted as well. Rain Drives. Yes, we have to talk
Speaker 1: about the episode of the Real Housewives of Stephanie Baby Baby.
Speaker 1: Stephanie the newbie has stepped into Miami, Florida and have
Speaker 1: stormed her way onto being the multiplier of this season.
Speaker 1: I love Stephanie. Great casting, great addition, She's e everything.
Speaker 1: She's beautiful, she's wealthy, She clocks in, she literally clocks
Speaker 1: in because she's always on time, unlike Lisa, who she
Speaker 1: clocked out with the good read. But we'll get to
Speaker 1: that late in this episode. I am so thrilled to
Speaker 1: talk about this season of the Real Housewives in Miami,
Speaker 1: especially this episode. But first let's get into this season overall.
Speaker 1: I know we're kind of like in five episodes or six, No. Six, No. Five,
Speaker 1: great season so far. I'm loving it. I'm loving it.
Speaker 1: I'm loving it. The girls are working. Miami Housewives is
Speaker 1: the Meriti medicine of the franchise. I'll say that once again,
Speaker 1: Miami Housewives is the Marit medicine of the franchise because
Speaker 1: it is super underrated. I need for you guys to
Speaker 1: be watching this show. It is so good. It is
Speaker 1: so good. It's top tiar television. The girls are funny,
Speaker 1: they're beautiful, they redown and this new housewife, Stephanie fist
Speaker 1: like a glove. But before we get into her checking
Speaker 1: and clocking Miss Lisa, let's get into the actual episode.
Speaker 1: I want to start the episode by giving key Key
Speaker 1: Barth her flowers. Okay, I am loving seeing all of
Speaker 1: key Key's personal story. I'm loving it. She needs to
Speaker 1: hold a mahido. She is so funny, so beautiful. I
Speaker 1: love the interchangeable wigs. It is giving Cynthia Bailey tease.
Speaker 1: But more importantly, we are getting to know Keikey on
Speaker 1: a deeper personal level. I mean we are able to
Speaker 1: see her talk about the issue she's having with her father.
Speaker 1: I love the scene taped last week with her mother
Speaker 1: getting to see her son, and just understanding how key
Speaker 1: Key's life being from Haiti, been coming to America, then
Speaker 1: being of supermodel well not a supermodel child. Let when
Speaker 1: I say that, love you, Ki Ki, you are a
Speaker 1: model honey, we will say supermodel child that belongs to
Speaker 1: Tyer Banks, Naomi Campbell, Cynthy Cyndy Crawford, et cetera. Okay,
Speaker 1: but and maybe Cynthia Bailey. However, however, key Key's decision
Speaker 1: to be a model calls a friction between her and
Speaker 1: her father, and one thing I loved about last week's
Speaker 1: episode when Keikey spoke to her mother about this. I
Speaker 1: love the fact that her mother did not entertain Kiki
Speaker 1: disrespecting her dad, and how her mother, despite them being divorced,
Speaker 1: constantly told Kiki, that's your father and to respect him.
Speaker 1: I love that. I love that it goes to show
Speaker 1: you that Kiki has roots when it comes to the
Speaker 1: foundation of a mother who is going to tell her
Speaker 1: own daughter when she's wrong. So I love that. So
Speaker 1: Kiki's father, they haven't spoken in many years. When Kiki
Speaker 1: had her son, her father was not in her life.
Speaker 1: So her son is now in college. He's a handsome kid,
Speaker 1: and Kiki is trying to get her father not only
Speaker 1: back in her life, but so that her son can't
Speaker 1: know who his grandfather is. And that is I'm just
Speaker 1: so thrilled that production and the network decided to give
Speaker 1: us the opportunity to know Kiki on a deeper level.
Speaker 1: And my hope is this because let me tell you
Speaker 1: how it works. In production, we're all advocating for Keiki
Speaker 1: to hold the mahito. I'm hoping that they told her,
Speaker 1: let's see what you give this season. Be a friend
Speaker 1: of will invest in more personal story. Let's see how
Speaker 1: the audience reacts to it. Let's see how much you
Speaker 1: are able to give, and then maybe next season she
Speaker 1: could be a mohito holder. But I think after these
Speaker 1: few episodes, I'm advocating for Keki to hold the mahito.
Speaker 1: I'm just loving it. I think she's a star and
Speaker 1: I think she has everything it takes to be a housewife.
Speaker 1: So shout out to kekey. Okay, now let's have a
Speaker 1: key key with Stephanie. This is before we get to
Speaker 1: what happened when they were on the bus. I love
Speaker 1: Stephanie's relationship, or should I say her marriage to her
Speaker 1: husband monster, not monster? Is it Monsieur? Is a Monsieur monster.
Speaker 1: For the sake of today, we're gonna call him. I
Speaker 1: think it's Monsieur. I think I'm wrong, but whatever sounds better.
Speaker 1: It flows off the tongue, Okay. I love their the
Speaker 1: dynamic of their marriage. Now, last week we were informed
Speaker 1: that Stephanie was twenty six when she met her now husband,
Speaker 1: who was in his fifties. Okay, pick your moth off
Speaker 1: the floor. Yeah, so he was in his fifties. She
Speaker 1: was twenty six. They met got married soon thereafter. I
Speaker 1: believe right now she's thirty two, if I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 1: I love the fact that Stephanie has an old soul
Speaker 1: and Monsieur. I'm gonna keep laughing, but I know I
Speaker 1: have it wrong, but just rope with me, raindrops. I
Speaker 1: like that Monsieur is the personality. I like the fact
Speaker 1: that he is like the wild card. I like the
Speaker 1: fact that he is somebody who really is the life
Speaker 1: of the party. Because one thing Stephanie does have she
Speaker 1: does she does give you like the and this is
Speaker 1: no shade because it's not shade at all. But Stephanie
Speaker 1: does give you more palm beach than she does Miami
Speaker 1: because in Palm Beach, a West Palm Beach, that's where
Speaker 1: the fifty older crowd out low key sixty over, but
Speaker 1: you know that's where the older crowd goes. They have
Speaker 1: a lot of money, they're retired, they're super wealthy. Some
Speaker 1: of them may have ANARP pamphlet on their coffee table.
Speaker 1: Some of them may be collecting stuff from the Social
Speaker 1: Security Administration. You know, anything is possible on West Palm Beach.
Speaker 1: But one thing, honey, they have a coin. They have
Speaker 1: a coin, and you know some are senior citizens. So
Speaker 1: Stephanie does give off the very mature vibe. You know,
Speaker 1: she definitely reads that in terms of her persona. She
Speaker 1: looks her age. She's a beautiful woman. But she definitely
Speaker 1: gives you that she has been here before. She definitely
Speaker 1: gives you she has nine lives like my cat. That's
Speaker 1: what she gives you. Stephanie has been around BEFO for
Speaker 1: I believe she had dinner with George Washington or Theodore Roosevelt.
Speaker 1: That's what that's the spirit that she gives. It's very
Speaker 1: old soul. I believe she plays Barbara streisand on Sundays.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean like, that's what she gives me,
Speaker 1: But what her husband gives me is he plays Glorilla
Speaker 1: and Megan thee Stallion on Sundays. Okay, while she's listening
Speaker 1: to the Way We Are Okay by Barbara streisand Honey,
Speaker 1: her husband is listening to Thought Shit by Megne Stallion. Okay,
Speaker 1: but it works. It works. So once we discover that,
Speaker 1: and I'll speak for myself, obviously, once we discover that
Speaker 1: Stephanie does have the old soul and that her husband
Speaker 1: is more of the party guy, and now makes sense
Speaker 1: why their marriage work. It now makes sense because he
Speaker 1: got somebody much younger than him who can keep up
Speaker 1: with him in terms of stamina. However, Stephanie has somebody
Speaker 1: that can match match her fly in the sense of
Speaker 1: the crowd and the friends circle that her husband has
Speaker 1: that matches her style, and he has owed money as well.
Speaker 1: It all works, It all works, It all makes sense.
Speaker 1: They are definitely a power couple. I am obsessed with
Speaker 1: this couple and I believe they will be the future
Speaker 1: of the franchise. They have it. They're everything you're looking
Speaker 1: for in a housewife, and I feel like they are
Speaker 1: bringing back that that angela Oakley Charles Oakley vibe that
Speaker 1: Atlanta is succeeding with those two. I think Stephanie and
Speaker 1: Monsieur are giving us that of Miami Housewives, and I'm
Speaker 1: here for it. What I'm not here for, though, is
Speaker 1: I don't like how the girls are gaslighting Girty. We're
Speaker 1: going to have a real conversation about what's going on
Speaker 1: with Gerty and how these ladies are treating her. I
Speaker 1: love all the girls, there's not one female on this
Speaker 1: cast I do not like. I love them all. It's
Speaker 1: a great cast, but let's keep it a buck. These
Speaker 1: girls do not like Girty, and Girty knows it, and
Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like they're trying to ice
Speaker 1: Gerty out of the show. That's what it looks like.
Speaker 1: It appears to me, Okay, it appears to me that
Speaker 1: these girls think Gerty's too much and they are icing
Speaker 1: her out so that she can lose her mohiito and
Speaker 1: that it can be given to Kiki. I think Gerty
Speaker 1: is experiencing what happens on these Housewives shows when the
Speaker 1: majority of the cash just doesn't like you and they
Speaker 1: want you gone, and they're not going to even try
Speaker 1: to feel any sympathy towards you because they don't want
Speaker 1: you around them. That's what I gather from it. But
Speaker 1: let me know the comments y'all disagree. Child, It is giving.
Speaker 1: We don't want you around us. We want your mohito
Speaker 1: to be given a kiki. That's what is given. It
Speaker 1: is the see between Alexia and Gerty. Illustrated that to
Speaker 1: me officially, because look, Gerty has the type of personality
Speaker 1: where you either like it or you don't. Some people
Speaker 1: may say I have that personality. I know in the
Speaker 1: words of Danielle Style Season one of Jersey, there is
Speaker 1: no in between with me. You either love me or
Speaker 1: you hate me. That's how I am. I feel like
Speaker 1: I show up that way. You either love some Carlos
Speaker 1: baby or you can't stand him, but that there's no
Speaker 1: in between. I am the Danielle style of podcasting, and
Speaker 1: Girty is a daniel Stob of Miami Child. Gerdy has
Speaker 1: that personality. I have the pleasure of having Gerdy on
Speaker 1: the podcast. She's a friend to the show. She's a
Speaker 1: rain drop. I love gerdy personality. I'm here for it.
Speaker 1: I also had a chance to hang out with Gerdy
Speaker 1: and Someonalan in Miami we went to Key Keys on
Speaker 1: the River. We had a good two hour ponder Rosa.
Speaker 1: I personally love Gerty's personality, but I also can see
Speaker 1: that when you have that type of personality, certain people
Speaker 1: can only take that in doses. So when Alexia was like, look, Gerty,
Speaker 1: you are a lot, I'm paraphrasing, of course, but she
Speaker 1: pretty much was saying to her like, you're a lot,
Speaker 1: and you don't let people talk, you don't hear people out.
Speaker 1: And I think Alexia was saying things to Gerty that
Speaker 1: they say to her in the group chat that Gerdy
Speaker 1: is not Gerty. There's a group chat with these ladies.
Speaker 1: You're not on, baby. It's not funny, but it's true.
Speaker 1: Gerdy is not on a group chat that the other
Speaker 1: housewives and friends to the show are on. Well, let
Speaker 1: me take that back. I think Gerdy Adriana are not
Speaker 1: on the group chat. I think the other girls have
Speaker 1: one for sure. This is reality with the King and
Speaker 1: I'm Carlos King. Let's get back into the show. So
Speaker 1: in that scene, I felt bad for Gerdy because at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, Gerdy, to me is how
Speaker 1: I felt the girls treated Kenya on Atlanta. Kenya is
Speaker 1: also in that group of you love her, you hate her,
Speaker 1: there's no in between. I feel like when it comes
Speaker 1: to Gerty, at the end of the day, she had
Speaker 1: a drink thrown in her direction, and that's when you
Speaker 1: as people have to step back and say, although she
Speaker 1: may not be my cup of tea, my cup of coffee,
Speaker 1: my cup of pre workout, or my cup of ozimpic mondeur,
Speaker 1: whatever you take, you may not be the top of that.
Speaker 1: But right is right and wrong is wrong. And I
Speaker 1: in somebody that has also had Julia on my podcast.
Speaker 1: She's a friend to the show. Julia is a rain drop.
Speaker 1: I've had the pleasure of hanging out with Julia, We've
Speaker 1: had dinner together. I find her to be a lovely woman.
Speaker 1: I love Julia. But as somebody who can step outside
Speaker 1: of my world and strictly recap a show based on
Speaker 1: what I was given, I can look at Julia's actions
Speaker 1: and say, you were wrong, you were wrong, you were wrong,
Speaker 1: regardless if Gerty is too much. Julia was wrong. And
Speaker 1: what's crazy to me is Alexia did not. She could
Speaker 1: not find it within herself to just say that. She
Speaker 1: could not find it in herself to just say that.
Speaker 1: So that was disappointing to me, and I love Alexia,
Speaker 1: but that's when I realized, like, yeah, Gerty, you're not
Speaker 1: in the group chat with these ladies and they don't
Speaker 1: like you. Okay. So then Julia did the right thing,
Speaker 1: text Gerty to meet up. Gerty did the right thing,
Speaker 1: showed up, making sure she looked her best. She had
Speaker 1: her ass. O't go ahead, Gerdy, body's looking great, she
Speaker 1: WOI was a fishnet onesie with the bikini of a
Speaker 1: nee child looking great. Julia looked great when they sat down. Look,
Speaker 1: I will say this, I will give Julia her props
Speaker 1: for initiating the conversation and apologizing first. And I think
Speaker 1: for Gerty that's all she wanted because not to speak
Speaker 1: for Gerdy, but again, I know how these shows work.
Speaker 1: I think Gerty feels so much like she's on an
Speaker 1: island that isn't Gilligans, that she wanted to she wanted
Speaker 1: to make sure that she didn't make this shit up.
Speaker 1: I think Gerdy looked around like am I in the
Speaker 1: Twilight Zone, Like if the roles were reversed, if Gerty
Speaker 1: would have thrown a drink near Julia's direction, all of
Speaker 1: these girls would have not in my opinion, they would
Speaker 1: not be filming with her. I'm sorry, I'll say it.
Speaker 1: I don't think they were filmed with her. I think
Speaker 1: they'll be like she's too much, they may say she's aggressive.
Speaker 1: I definitely think if the roles were reversed, things would
Speaker 1: be different and the way they would have treated Gerdy.
Speaker 1: Julia did apologize, though I appreciated that. Gertie says she
Speaker 1: felt backstabbed, and that's what I'm saying, rain drops, Gertie
Speaker 1: fell backstabb because she feels like at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, I know that mean LARSU may get into it,
Speaker 1: but Julie, we were friends. We were real friends. We
Speaker 1: had a real friend ship. So when they flashed back
Speaker 1: to the scene where Julia said we were acquaintances, that
Speaker 1: hurt Gerty's feelings rightfully so, because again it's one of
Speaker 1: those things where you're like, am I in the fucking
Speaker 1: twilight zone? Was this all made up? Was this friendship
Speaker 1: made up? The conversations we had over the phone? Was
Speaker 1: that made up? To me? That's how Gertie felt. And
Speaker 1: then Julia's like, okay, bitch, I'll holl talks to you.
Speaker 1: Your turn, like girl yells our honey, and Gernie's like,
Speaker 1: I can't apologize for reacting to your actions, and she's like, well,
Speaker 1: you hurt my feelings talking about the facelift, and is like, Julia,
Speaker 1: I love you, Julia. We're not going to compare somebody
Speaker 1: getting h two oh okay to a revelation of something
Speaker 1: that you actually did. Child now, unless it was a
Speaker 1: secret about the facelift. At the end of the day,
Speaker 1: you know you got the facelift and mine, I add, baby,
Speaker 1: money well spent. You look gorgeous. You were gorgeous before,
Speaker 1: you're gorgeous now you will always be gorgeous. I'm here
Speaker 1: for it. But Gernie's like, look, I revealed that because
Speaker 1: of you saying that we weren't friends and that we
Speaker 1: were acquaintances. Now, look, I'm a clock, Gerty Gerdy. You
Speaker 1: also wanted to get your look back to and I'm
Speaker 1: not mad at it. I'm not mad at it. I'm
Speaker 1: not mad at it. That wasn't the sole reason, Girdy, baby,
Speaker 1: you wanted that teeth to be spelled because you're like
Speaker 1: all bests are off. You threw a drink on me, bitch,
Speaker 1: times up, okay, reclaiming my time Maxine water style. So again,
Speaker 1: I appreciated Julia apologizing, and I appreciated Gerty accepting it
Speaker 1: and also apologizing for what her role was after getting
Speaker 1: splashed with water. But I also appreciate it too, and
Speaker 1: Beverly Hills Housewives take note. This incident did not last
Speaker 1: for the entire season. I love the fact that it happened,
Speaker 1: they immediately met up with each other, they made up,
Speaker 1: and they moved on from it. We'll see what happens
Speaker 1: the rest of the season, but I like the fact
Speaker 1: that this isn't hanging over our heads for the entire season,
Speaker 1: and we have one storyline child, So shout out to
Speaker 1: Miami for that. Now let's get into my favorite scene
Speaker 1: of the episode. Baby. The ladies are getting ready to
Speaker 1: go to a Lexias event and they're all taking pretty
Speaker 1: much a sprinter van to go there. All the girls
Speaker 1: look good, it's a goddess theme. All the girls arrived
Speaker 1: between noon and twelve thirty. Lisa decides to arrive at
Speaker 1: two thirty, and I like Lisa. One thing I have learned.
Speaker 1: One of the most disrespectful things you can do is
Speaker 1: be late. If you're five minutes late, we get a
Speaker 1: grace period of fifteen to be two hours late with
Speaker 1: the Jessica Simpson weed clips in your head. I don't understand.
Speaker 1: And I love Lisa. I do nothing Lisa does takes
Speaker 1: two hours. You put in the Jessica Simpson extensions in
Speaker 1: your hair. She's a beautiful woman. She doesn't need a
Speaker 1: lot of makeup. You know, she's a size zero. So
Speaker 1: everything in the stores from thirteen below to Chanelle, they
Speaker 1: all have an outfit for Lisa. Understand why it takes
Speaker 1: Lisa two hours to get a Brady for anything? I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't get it. I don't get it.
Speaker 1: I don't get it. Ki Ki, by far, is the
Speaker 1: goddess when it comes to a look. She gives you
Speaker 1: a different wig, she gives you a different makeup palette,
Speaker 1: she gives you a different wardrobe. She may give you
Speaker 1: a different accent as time, child, But kei key. If
Speaker 1: somebody said Kiki was two hours late, I would be like, well,
Speaker 1: when she shows up, she looks good, and we never
Speaker 1: know what we're going to get with ki Ki. Kiki
Speaker 1: changes her hair the way she changes her men, and
Speaker 1: I'm here for all of that. Lisa has had the
Speaker 1: same cramp hairstyle. Since I watched the show in twenty eleven,
Speaker 1: Lisa has had the same hairstyle in terms of duration
Speaker 1: as the other Lisa, and that is Rena. If Lisa
Speaker 1: Renna ever showed up two hours late, we'll be like,
Speaker 1: Lisa Renna, you get that flat iron and you get
Speaker 1: the bumping curls and you get to work them on
Speaker 1: that bang. So I don't get it. So Stephanie, who
Speaker 1: actually is punctual, clocked it. The fact that Lisa, who
Speaker 1: these girls have been accustomed to being late to that degree,
Speaker 1: the fact that she was comfortable walking on that bus saying, Hi,
Speaker 1: how are you you? Girls look so beautiful? Yes, God
Speaker 1: assists yes, and the girls were silent, and then Julie
Speaker 1: was like, but yes, God, is your late? Well you know,
Speaker 1: and then Stephanie said, do you think you're more valuable?
Speaker 1: And baby, that's when Stephanie was a potential mother to
Speaker 1: clock Lisa and say do you think you're more valuable?
Speaker 1: Lisa gagged, why are you being rude? Stephanie? You're the
Speaker 1: one being really you're two hours late? Should we just
Speaker 1: thank you for showing up? You walk up on this bus,
Speaker 1: you greet us, and you all blah blah blah, because
Speaker 1: I'm sure Stephanie is like, what are you don't look
Speaker 1: like a woman that takes two hours to get ready,
Speaker 1: And it's no shade. Lisa is naturally a beautiful woman.
Speaker 1: But Stephanie is like, now, if you came in here
Speaker 1: looking like Kiki again, I'll get it. But you came
Speaker 1: in here looking like Jessica Simpson, just saying, just saying.
Speaker 1: So Lisa's offend that. It's She's like, don't talk to
Speaker 1: me that way. You're real, who are you? You're the
Speaker 1: new girl and the girl. Don't talk to me that way.
Speaker 1: That's not something you can you can say to Stephanie
Speaker 1: and get away with it because Stephanie, Look, Stephanie has
Speaker 1: more money than everybody on that bus times ten. Stephanie
Speaker 1: can travel to to Beverly Hills, collect those checks and
Speaker 1: they still won't have as much money as Stephanie her husband.
Speaker 1: And it is what it is. So Stephanie isn't somebody's
Speaker 1: going to back down to Lisa. Oh no, day. That's
Speaker 1: how Stephanie presented herself, like who are you for you
Speaker 1: to be late? Girl? Bye? And then Lisa's like, you
Speaker 1: put your hand on my face, and she goes, I
Speaker 1: actually put my hand here. I'm sure my arms are short.
Speaker 1: My hands don't even go past this lady's busom next
Speaker 1: to me, like girl bye. Lisa was not used to
Speaker 1: anybody clocking her except Larsa. And that's why I have
Speaker 1: always been on the right side of history, Raindrops, I
Speaker 1: said to y'all from day one, I strongly am on
Speaker 1: Larsa's side. I am Larsa. Listen, I know Larsa is
Speaker 1: like Gerdie. Y'all have the love for y'all hate her.
Speaker 1: I happen to love Larsa, and I'm on Larsa's side.
Speaker 1: I've been on Larsa size as day one. I love Lisa.
Speaker 1: Lisa does give me. Lisa gives me selfish, she gives
Speaker 1: me self absorbed. She gives me me me, me, me, me, me,
Speaker 1: me me me. That's what she gives. And that was evident,
Speaker 1: and that's why Stephanie clocked it and was like, I'm
Speaker 1: not here for it. There's a new sherif for town
Speaker 1: and her name is Stephanie and rain Drops, I can't
Speaker 1: wait to see more of her. So the continuation of
Speaker 1: that is next week. But listen, please, please, please, please,
Speaker 1: please with Cherry's on top, tune into Miami Housewives. It's
Speaker 1: an excellent season. This was episode five, I believe, so
Speaker 1: make sure you guys catch up. You will not be disappointed.
Speaker 1: It was another great episode that I'm looking for to
Speaker 1: recapping this crazy show every week. Reality with the King
Speaker 1: is executive produced by me Carlos King, produced by Lizzie Nimitz,
Speaker 1: and a partnership with the Lack Effect Network. You can
Speaker 1: also find us on my YouTube channel at the Carlos
