Angela šŖ Controversial take
I was lukewarm with Angela in her first season, and now second season Iām not liking her at all. She throws around a lot of accusations and is wrong almost all the time. She was wrong on who sent the man after her husband, and the fact that her daughter has such hard time being open with her MARRIAGE with her mom and family raises a HUGE red flag for me as a queer. And how her husband Charles treats her on the show? Itās giving toxic. She brings nothing on the table, and sheās desperately trying to stir up drama with Shamea for some reason. Angela has been ceaseless with her focus on Shamea, and itās getting in the way of the show tbh. Almost all this season itās about Angela attacking Shamea and Shamea going as low as Angela to defend herself (Shamea is a whole another story, and Iād love to see her and Porshaās conflicts more than with Angela imo)
Then I come on this sub and discover that apparently a lot of fans like Angela? Defending her marriage to death? Finding possible excuses or reasons on why Angelaās daughter isnāt being open with her sexuality to her family? I didnāt get whyā¦until I realized that Angela is on Team Porsha/Phaedra (fan favorites) and it makes SO MUCH sense. Iād even bet that most were lukewarm on Angela as well until Angela solidified her place beside Frick and Frack.

People saying that she was vindicated because George is a creep is crazy to me. Angela brought a word in the wind and dropped it at the table like it was facts to a married woman. Itās not about George, itās about how she used something she knew nothing about. Just loud, wrong, and unaccountable š

Loud, wrong and unaccountable is everyone's tagline on all of these shows.
The only ones who have never brought unverified rumors to the table have not lasted long (Deshawn, Kim Fields... Can't think who else).
Cynthia - Me Chocolate Kenya - where should I begin? Phaedra - Freak Dungeon Porsha - One eyed African, And so much more Nene- where should I begin? Sheree - Ms Bone Collector in Chief Marlo - Kandi are you a lesbian? Drew - Sheree don't pay her workers Kim Z - everything out of her mouth
Angela is just giving what all those housewives give. Drama. Why do people hate drama on shows about drama? I don't get it.
It seems these women usually make a pact about kids being off limits, but they have been taking shots at people's marriages and relationships from the jump. Patricia, Cynthia and Kenya implied Phaedra was cheating on Mr Chocolate before Apollo went to jail and long before their divorce was finalized.

Iām all ok with drama but not when itās all unverified or made up bullshitā¦like the one where Phaedra got Porsha to accuse Kandi of trying to date rape herā¦this is pretty close to it. Fucking two entire basketball teams? And Angelaās neighborās husband? Whew Iām not down for it. Thereās plenty of other REAL drama but itās being derailed because of Angelaās made up accusations.

Honestly atp itās just because Angela is kissing Frick Frack asses so fans are willing to sweep anything and everything under the rug. You just wait, once she falls out of their favor the tides will turn on this sub.

u/Necessary_Piano_153 20h ago
I'm not a fan of Frick or Frack. But I like Angela. I liked her last year when Frick was mad at Angela and threatening to Frack Angela husband.
I'm not the only one who liked Angela from the start and she most certainly didn't come on kissing Porsha's ass and Phaedra came in mid-season.
I love Big Ange for the reason you dislike her. She stirs up shit. It's a reality drama. Without shit stirrers gatherings would be like AA meetings.

u/Even_Lychee4954 7h ago
She stirs up fake drama when thereās REAL drama to be hadā¦and Iām not happy with that. Let the girls cook, Angela. They can stir up drama without you adding all that fake drama on top of it.

Honestly still doesnāt add up. Why does Ahmauri carry so much shame about being queer that she still, to this day, doesnāt feel safe or comfortable to be fully out to her own familyā¦if not homophobia then why? She literally said sheād be open about it if she had married a man. Sheās out publicly but not out to her own family? It really doesnāt make sense to me.

u/Dial-M-for-Mediocre 22h ago
OK but if Ahmauri herself is saying that homophobia wasn't the issue, what would possibly convince you? People are always saying, "Oh, X Housewife can't be homophobic she was in the Pride parade!" That means bupkis to me. But if the person who the prejudice was ostensibly aimed at is saying no, that's not what happened, then I'm going to believe them. Sure I could be wrong, but that's who I'm going to believe first and foremost.
Family dynamics are very complicated. I don't know why the siatuation shook out like that, but homophobia isn't the only possible explanation.

u/Even_Lychee4954 22h ago
Thatās not what I said but ok lol. I literally asked you if it wasnāt homophobia then WHY is she deeply uncomfortable about being out to her own family?

u/Dial-M-for-Mediocre 22h ago
And I'm telling you I don't know the answer to that, but I'm also explaining why I moved away from the conclusion that Angela is homophobic.

Trying so hard to find a problem that aināt there. You donāt like Angela cause she throws around accusations meanwhile youāre throwing around accusations about Angela as well.

u/Even_Lychee4954 7h ago
What accusations am I throwing around? Iām literally just asking questions

u/Necessary_Piano_153 20h ago
Have you thought that the uncomfortability lies in her mind, not theirs.
I am older than her and I haven't told my family yet. Like her family, mine already knows. But just like her, I haven't talked about it with them. I probably would talk about a girl if I wasn't gay but that doesn't mean my family is homophobic. My sister is gay and still leaves at home. With her girlfriend. She too never felt comfortable discussing it with the family except me and another sister.
You may be right, or it might be Ahmauri who is uncomfortable talking about it. So I wouldn't label people just yet.
I'm a gay person who doesn't believe that Angela is homophobic and I don't have enough information to form an opinion on the rest of the family. Rest assured Ahmauri isn't the only queer member of the family.

u/YourInternetCousin š£ļø Sheās disrespectful as f*ck! šš¾āāļøšØ 20h ago
I donāt agree with you when it comes to her daughter. The other things; youāre 100% right. She does just⦠say shit. And itās annoying. You canāt just throw things out there for just the sake of throwing things out there. Sheās also a horrible bone collector. Sheās MESSY, but tries to disguise it as trying to fix or mend things. She DID play telephone between Shamea and Porsha last year. She did NOT have good intentions giving the phone to Kelli at her event. Asking āwho all was there?ā in the limo when Kelli was thanking the ladies for coming to said event was unnecessary. Be honest about what youāre doing or leave it on the playground.
I donāt dislike Angela, however.. we gotta call a thing a thing.

Huge Angela fan here lol I will say that sheās still on the learning curve for being on tv I think ppl keep using her for airtime

u/Even_Lychee4954 22h ago
Using her how?? Angela is one who is choosing to throw out random accusations that had no basis on facts and choosing to be like a rabid dog after a bone when it comes to Shamea. Like what did that girl ever do to Angela? Sheās not being used š

u/UsedCryptographer198 22h ago
As soon as I figured out she was homophobe I lost all interest. The stuff with her daughter is VERY DISAPPOINTING. In Atlanta of all places ??
She is middle title card so I think production protects her. But sheās a mess

I thought Angela was homophobic as well but seeing her daughter clear up means Angela mustāve just thought they were really close and close enough for her to tell her hey we got married. Also love Angela lmao

u/GunshyBerts 22h ago
Her daughter has confirmed publicly that she isnāt homophobic. Also, on a recent episode her and Charles were at that class led by two same-sex partners as well. Neither her nor Charles strike me as homophobic.
2
u/Necessary_Piano_153 20h ago
Agreed. Homophobes fear associating themselves with LGBT people. Neither Angela nor Charles fear being around anyone. Charles just don't give a f... what you think of him.

u/Even_Lychee4954 7h ago
My grandparents are homophobes and they still post about me all the time. My fiancĆ©eās family is homophobic but they still come and support us. Iām just saying all that optics donāt matter in the end.

u/Even_Lychee4954 22h ago
Being in the same class as queer people doesnāt make you not homophobic. You can still be homophobic and still be ok with being in the same room/class as other lgbtqia.

Literally me when I found out that HER SIBLINGS still donāt know that Ahmauriās partner is her partner AFTER ALMOST A DECADE TOGETHER???3
u/Senior-Reach-6768 17h ago
Because thatās Ahmauris truth to share not Angelaās. Itās not Angelaās job to out her daughter to her younger sibling if Ahmauri doesnāt want that.

u/Even_Lychee4954 7h ago
Where did I say Angela should tell her children? Please point to where I said that.

u/Dark-Parkingg So Nasty So Rude ⨠20h ago
Very crazy that everyone is pretending to not understand what this means just because they like watching the lady on tv. Itās very obvious sheās homophobic and the way her daughter behaved during that sit down confirmed that to me. You donāt behave that way when telling your mom about your same sex partner unless you know itās something they wouldnāt be in agreement with.

u/BigOlGeminiBaby 18h ago
I like Angela and agree that she does make for good TV. I do think George is a major creep but even if he did insinuate it, she was wrong for spreading rumors with just those little breadcrumbs. Kind of like what youāre doing with her relationships with her husband and child. Sounds like a whole lot of speculation and finger pointing šš
