The first installment <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WoiwNI5UCCc\">featured a tense faceoff<\/a> between frenemies Porsha Williams and K. Michelle, a pregnancy reveal from Pinky Cole, and Kelli Porter casually revealing her $70K teeth-purchasing partner, Jarvis.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-porsha-williams-and-k-michelle-went-at-it\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Porsha Williams and K. Michelle went at it.<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fiery reunion kicked off with Porsha Williams and K. Michelle finally hashing out some of the differences that have followed them throughout the season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As previously reported, Porsha and K. Michelle<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1gmzwCIsf28QlvY9JiK8QWZt4rUnrs7CVg-DXgihgVdE\/edit#RHOA%20Reunion%20Sneak%20Peek:%20Porsha%20&amp;%20K.%20Michelle%20Clash%20Over%20Former%20Flame%20&amp;%20THAT%20Miscarriage%20Mixup--'Who%20TF%20Am%20I%20Dealing%20With%20Here?'\"> clashed over their romantic connection to Nosh<\/a>, K. Michelle\u2019s former romance that flourished during Season 2 of <em>Queen\u2019s Court<\/em>. K. Michelle told Porsha that her failure to disclose their previous romance before she joined the group created a \u201cbarrier\u201d in their friendship and made her feel as though she couldn\u2019t get close to the <em>RHOA<\/em> veteran.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"\/>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She also alleged that \u201coutside sources\u201d came to inform her that some of her co-stars reached out to \u201cbloggers\u201d to dig up dirt on her.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI didn\u2019t call people to say, \u2018How is Porsha behind the scenes? How is Phaedra?\u2019 \u2013 I didn\u2019t do that,\u201d the <em>Jesus &amp; Whiskey <\/em>singer said during the reunion.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Surprisingly, when host Andy Cohen asked who said \u201cbloggers\u201d were, K. Michelle said she got some of the scoop from Nosh and \u201ca hairdresser\u201d close to the cast.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI know this is a group about friendship, but we can\u2019t sit up here and act like people don\u2019t go pull things on each other,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"\/>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Porsha said she felt \u201csad\u201d for K.Michelle because she truly wanted her to have a good experience for her debut season. <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s just so sad. Your experience was altered. I was really excited for you to come on here. Like until Phaedra, I didn\u2019t have no friends on the show. Child I was a lone wolf\u2026 I felt like everybody was against me the same,\u201d she explained, noting how things changed once she \u201cgot a fresh start.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThen just to see how something might have made you close up to me and some of the girls, it\u2019s sad. I ain\u2019t gonna lie. At every turn, I just couldn\u2019t figure out a way for you to understand another way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The conversation then shifted to the infamous miscarriage comment. Andy asked K. Michelle if she felt as though Porsha was \u201cshading\u201d her with the remark.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The singer admitted that she was very sensitive about the situation, and understandably so. The feeling was intensified because she had been fresh out of the hospital \u201conly an hour\u201d when Porsha mistook the wound leakage from her illegal butt shot injections for a miscarriage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">K. Michelle said she took to X after the incident to vent about the comment, although, in hindsight, she admitted it probably wasn\u2019t the best move.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"\/>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Porsha made it clear that she meant no harm with the comment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Porsha said she wanted to create \u201ca safe space\u201d after K. Michelle\u2019s hospitalization for her to tell her story because she had not made it clear what happened to her after the incident.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"\/>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBut you had talked about fertility and I\u2019m a woman who has had fertilfiy issues and I\u2019m a woman who\u2019s also had miscarriages,\u201d she explained. \u201cAgain, here now I apologize and I still never meant that to be that way.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Surprisingly, K.Michelle accepted her apology:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI accept your apology\u2026 I was live speaking about what was going on and about how I felt in that moment. I also take accountability for that as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And then came the moment when Porsha appeared to have a revelation:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOkay so you were tweeting like you\u2019re in a confessional?!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">K.Michelle replied:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To which Andy laughed:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCan I give you a piece of advice? Don\u2019t do that!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More from the RHOA reunion on the flip<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3 id=\"h-kelli-porter-debuts-her-new-man\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Kelli Porter Debuts Her New Man<\/strong><\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"\/>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the drama didn\u2019t stop when the reunion credits rolled.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following the episode, Kelli Porter took to Instagram and appeared to debut her alleged new man, <strong>Jarvis Stark, <\/strong>according to his Instagram page. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This comes after her $70K teeth-purchasing partner made his reunion debut, quickly<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IamEroyalse\/status\/2086614282133795315\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> being spotted in her dressing room by the cameras.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the photo, Kelli stands tall beside Jarvis in her reunion gown while he sits in a chair next to her with his arm wrapped around her.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTHE STANDARD \u201c she captioned the post.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A deeper dive into Jarvis\u2019 page shows only three photos, all of which feature Kelli \u2014 and yes, the internet detectives had work to do.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a post shared Aug. 8, the <em>RHOA<\/em> peach holder can be seen wearing a bikini aboard an expensive-looking boat.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis what waking up \u201cTHE STANDARD\u201d Looks like!!!
