- Ben and Ronnie roast Drew’s perpetual delusion and penchant for fibbing.
“Drew’s just a big, live face, and she lies constantly and has always lied constantly…she’s just that friend who’s always lying. …in her life, she’s got an Oscar, and she’s an EGOT winner in her head.” (16:07, Ronnie)
4. Shamia’s Peach-Shaped Rum Venture & Marital Tension (30:40–38:35, 74:51–77:41)
- Shamia embarks on launching "Rum Bum," a peach-flavored rum in a bottle shaped like her own butt, despite her husband’s skepticism.

Portia: “I’ve had several miscarriages and I’ve also woken up in a puddle of blood...the last thing I had on my mind is that you were dealing with this.” (80:44–81:30)
K. Michelle: “This is absolute—normally with me, if you blame me one time, it’s a wrap for you and I’m done. But I’ve decided to give her every benefit of the doubt that I can find in every corner.” (83:34, K. Michelle)
- While the feud cools on the surface, K. Michelle hints she’s still wary of Portia.
6. Pinky’s Secret Bankruptcy & Emotional Toll (43:20–49:38, 77:41–79:44)

“Don’t do this, Pinky. That affects your husband and it affects your family. You need to tell your husband.” (44:00, Ben)
- The weight of lawsuits, business mismanagement, and personal guarantees have Pinky near a breaking point.
“She had $20 million in debt…and now she’s thinking it’s folding and she can start fresh. …This stressed me out. I’m not…this isn’t even my life.” (47:08, Ben)
7. K. Michelle’s Twitter Rants & Housewife Feuding (51:43–58:14)
