Alright now let’s really talk about it. A Real Housewives of Atlanta favorite stepped into Peacock’s psychological playground ready to play the game and instead got played. She became the first Faithful to be banished on the new season after being loudly and incorrectly labeled a Traitor. Technically she was the second person sent packing since Big Brother alum Ian Terry was murdered earlier in episode two but details aside the outcome still felt rushed and reckless.
Speaking the day after her banishment aired she didn’t sugarcoat a thing. She said the fans were denied the chance to see what she truly would have brought to the game and honestly she’s not wrong. There was strategy there there was personality there and there was potential. Instead she left feeling cheated and triggered by how the situation unfolded. Justice was demanded and frankly deserved.
The mess really started in episode two during a few misunderstood exchanges with Ron Funches and Donna Kelce who spoiler alert was actually a Traitor herself and somehow still skated by. A couple of poorly edited moments had her speaking in the first person about killing a Traitor or Ian Terry and that was all Ron needed. Suddenly suspicion was loud confidence was misplaced and a narrative was born.
She said she walked into the roundtable completely unaware that the spotlight was about to swing her way. When Ron presented his case she was confused because it truly did not make sense. Still multiple factors were happening at once and groupthink did what it does best. Pile on the wrong person and call it strategy.
Now zoom out because this is bigger than one banishment. Real Housewives women have a habit of getting booted early on this show and fans have clocked it every single time. The theory that there is bias against Bravo women has been floating around and she agrees it holds weight. Loud confident Black women especially are read as threatening instead of strategic.
Vibe Culture Daily is saying what the group chat already knows. The girls are not being given a fair shot and the audience can see it. Do better let them play and stop confusing personality with guilt.
