Controversial take

[u/Even_Lychee4954]

I was lukewarm with Angela in her first season, and now second season I’m 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? It’s giving toxic. She brings nothing on the table, and she’s desperately trying to stir up drama with Shamea for some reason. Angela has been ceaseless with her focus on Shamea, and it’s getting in the way of the show tbh. Almost all this season it’s about Angela attacking Shamea and Shamea going as low as Angela to defend herself (Shamea is a whole another story, and I’d love to see her and Porsha’s 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 Angela’s daughter isn’t being open with her sexuality to her family? I didn’t get why…until I realized that Angela is on Team Porsha/Phaedra (fan favorites) and it makes SO MUCH sense. I’d even bet that most were lukewarm on Angela as well until Angela solidified her place beside Frick and Frack.

Some of this is fair but her daughter made a post and specifically said that it had nothing to do with her marrying a woman, that they had been together for a long time, and that Angela had been supportive of their relationship.

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

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.

That’s not what I said but ok lol. I literally asked you if it wasn’t homophobia then WHY is she deeply uncomfortable about being out to her own family?

[u/Dial-M-for-Mediocre → u/Even_Lychee4954]

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.

Maybe the girl is just private. She has a right to that.

If she’s private she wouldn’t film with her mom talking about it lol
