Reality with the King is hosted by me, Carlos King. I'm an executive producer who have produced some of your favorite shows from the Real Housewives in Atlanta, New Jersey and my own creation, The Love and Marriage Franchise and Bell Collective. Every episode we recap reality television from the Real Housewives Franchise to The Bachelor or Selling Sunset. In addition to celebrity guests, whether in the unscripted space or
scripted as well. Rain Drives. Yes, we have to talk about the episode of the Real Housewives of Stephanie Baby Baby. Stephanie the newbie has stepped into Miami, Florida and have stormed her way onto being the multiplier of this season. I love Stephanie. Great casting, great addition, She's e everything. She's beautiful, she's wealthy, She clocks in, she literally clocks in because she's always on time, unlike Lisa, who she clocked out with the good read. But we'll get to
that late in this episode. I am so thrilled to talk about this season of the Real Housewives in Miami, especially this episode. But first let's get into this season overall. I know we're kind of like in five episodes or six, No. Six, No. Five, great season so far. I'm loving it. I'm loving it. I'm loving it. The girls are working. Miami Housewives is the Meriti medicine of the franchise. I'll say that once again, Miami Housewives is the Marit medicine of the franchise because
it is super underrated. I need for you guys to be watching this show. It is so good. It is so good. It's top tiar television. The girls are funny, they're beautiful, they redown and this new housewife, Stephanie fist like a glove. But before we get into her checking and clocking Miss Lisa, let's get into the actual episode. I want to start the episode by giving key Key Barth her flowers. Okay, I am loving seeing all of key Key's personal story. I'm loving it. She needs to
hold a mahido. She is so funny, so beautiful. I love the interchangeable wigs. It is giving Cynthia Bailey tease. But more importantly, we are getting to know Keikey on a deeper personal level. I mean we are able to see her talk about the issue she's having with her father. I love the scene taped last week with her mother getting to see her son, and just understanding how key Key's life being from Haiti, been coming to America, then
being of supermodel well not a supermodel child. Let when I say that, love you, Ki Ki, you are a model honey, we will say supermodel child that belongs to Tyer Banks, Naomi Campbell, Cynthy Cyndy Crawford, et cetera. Okay, but and maybe Cynthia Bailey. However, however, key Key's decision to be a model calls a friction between her and her father, and one thing I loved about last week's
episode when Keikey spoke to her mother about this. I love the fact that her mother did not entertain Kiki disrespecting her dad, and how her mother, despite them being divorced, constantly told Kiki, that's your father and to respect him. I love that. I love that it goes to show you that Kiki has roots when it comes to the foundation of a mother who is going to tell her own daughter when she's wrong. So I love that. So
Kiki's father, they haven't spoken in many years. When Kiki had her son, her father was not in her life. So her son is now in college. He's a handsome kid, and Kiki is trying to get her father not only back in her life, but so that her son can't know who his grandfather is. And that is I'm just so thrilled that production and the network decided to give us the opportunity to know Kiki on a deeper level. And my hope is this because let me tell you
how it works. In production, we're all advocating for Keiki to hold the mahito. I'm hoping that they told her, let's see what you give this season. Be a friend of will invest in more personal story. Let's see how the audience reacts to it. Let's see how much you are able to give, and then maybe next season she could be a mohito holder. But I think after these few episodes, I'm advocating for Keki to hold the mahito.
I'm just loving it. I think she's a star and I think she has everything it takes to be a housewife. So shout out to kekey. Okay, now let's have a key key with Stephanie. This is before we get to what happened when they were on the bus. I love Stephanie's relationship, or should I say her marriage to her husband monster, not monster? Is it Monsieur? Is a Monsieur monster. For the sake of today, we're gonna call him. I think it's Monsieur. I think I'm wrong, but whatever sounds better.
It flows off the tongue, Okay. I love their the dynamic of their marriage. Now, last week we were informed that Stephanie was twenty six when she met her now husband, who was in his fifties. Okay, pick your moth off the floor. Yeah, so he was in his fifties. She was twenty six. They met got married soon thereafter. I believe right now she's thirty two, if I'm not mistaken. I love the fact that Stephanie has an old soul and Monsieur. I'm gonna keep laughing, but I know I
have it wrong, but just rope with me, raindrops. I like that Monsieur is the personality. I like the fact that he is like the wild card. I like the fact that he is somebody who really is the life of the party. Because one thing Stephanie does have she does she does give you like the and this is
no shade because it's not shade at all. But Stephanie does give you more palm beach than she does Miami because in Palm Beach, a West Palm Beach, that's where the fifty older crowd out low key sixty over, but you know that's where the older crowd goes. They have a lot of money, they're retired, they're super wealthy. Some of them may have ANARP pamphlet on their coffee table. Some of them may be collecting stuff from the Social
Security Administration. You know, anything is possible on West Palm Beach. But one thing, honey, they have a coin. They have a coin, and you know some are senior citizens. So Stephanie does give off the very mature vibe. You know, she definitely reads that in terms of her persona. She looks her age. She's a beautiful woman. But she definitely gives you that she has been here before. She definitely gives you she has nine lives like my cat. That's
what she gives you. Stephanie has been around BEFO for I believe she had dinner with George Washington or Theodore Roosevelt. That's what that's the spirit that she gives. It's very old soul. I believe she plays Barbara streisand on Sundays. You know what I mean like, that's what she gives me, But what her husband gives me is he plays Glorilla and Megan thee Stallion on Sundays. Okay, while she's listening to the Way We Are Okay by Barbara streisand Honey,
her husband is listening to Thought Shit by Megne Stallion. Okay, but it works. It works. So once we discover that, and I'll speak for myself, obviously, once we discover that Stephanie does have the old soul and that her husband is more of the party guy, and now makes sense why their marriage work. It now makes sense because he got somebody much younger than him who can keep up
with him in terms of stamina. However, Stephanie has somebody that can match match her fly in the sense of the crowd and the friends circle that her husband has that matches her style, and he has owed money as well. It all works, It all works, It all makes sense. They are definitely a power couple. I am obsessed with this couple and I believe they will be the future
of the franchise. They have it. They're everything you're looking for in a housewife, and I feel like they are bringing back that that angela Oakley Charles Oakley vibe that Atlanta is succeeding with those two. I think Stephanie and Monsieur are giving us that of Miami Housewives, and I'm here for it. What I'm not here for, though, is I don't like how the girls are gaslighting Girty. We're going to have a real conversation about what's going on
with Gerty and how these ladies are treating her. I love all the girls, there's not one female on this cast I do not like. I love them all. It's a great cast, but let's keep it a buck. These girls do not like Girty, and Girty knows it, and I feel like I feel like they're trying to ice Gerty out of the show. That's what it looks like. It appears to me, Okay, it appears to me that these girls think Gerty's too much and they are icing her out so that she can lose her mohiito and
that it can be given to Kiki. I think Gerty is experiencing what happens on these Housewives shows when the majority of the cash just doesn't like you and they want you gone, and they're not going to even try to feel any sympathy towards you because they don't want you around them. That's what I gather from it. But let me know the comments y'all disagree. Child, It is giving. We don't want you around us. We want your mohito to be given a kiki. That's what is given. It
is the see between Alexia and Gerty. Illustrated that to me officially, because look, Gerty has the type of personality where you either like it or you don't. Some people may say I have that personality. I know in the words of Danielle Style Season one of Jersey, there is no in between with me. You either love me or you hate me. That's how I am. I feel like I show up that way. You either love some Carlos baby or you can't stand him, but that there's no
in between. I am the Danielle style of podcasting, and Girty is a daniel Stob of Miami Child. Gerdy has that personality. I have the pleasure of having Gerdy on the podcast. She's a friend to the show. She's a rain drop. I love gerdy personality. I'm here for it. I also had a chance to hang out with Gerdy and Someonalan in Miami we went to Key Keys on the River. We had a good two hour ponder Rosa.
I personally love Gerty's personality, but I also can see that when you have that type of personality, certain people can only take that in doses. So when Alexia was like, look, Gerty, you are a lot, I'm paraphrasing, of course, but she pretty much was saying to her like, you're a lot, and you don't let people talk, you don't hear people out. And I think Alexia was saying things to Gerty that they say to her in the group chat that Gerdy is not Gerty. There's a group chat with these ladies.
You're not on, baby. It's not funny, but it's true. Gerdy is not on a group chat that the other housewives and friends to the show are on. Well, let me take that back. I think Gerdy Adriana are not on the group chat. I think the other girls have one for sure. This is reality with the King and I'm Carlos King. Let's get back into the show. So in that scene, I felt bad for Gerdy because at the end of the day, Gerdy, to me is how
I felt the girls treated Kenya on Atlanta. Kenya is also in that group of you love her, you hate her, there's no in between. I feel like when it comes to Gerty, at the end of the day, she had a drink thrown in her direction, and that's when you as people have to step back and say, although she may not be my cup of tea, my cup of coffee, my cup of pre workout, or my cup of ozimpic mondeur, whatever you take, you may not be the top of that.
But right is right and wrong is wrong. And I in somebody that has also had Julia on my podcast. She's a friend to the show. Julia is a rain drop. I've had the pleasure of hanging out with Julia, We've had dinner together. I find her to be a lovely woman. I love Julia. But as somebody who can step outside of my world and strictly recap a show based on what I was given, I can look at Julia's actions and say, you were wrong, you were wrong, you were wrong,
regardless if Gerty is too much. Julia was wrong. And what's crazy to me is Alexia did not. She could not find it within herself to just say that. She could not find it in herself to just say that. So that was disappointing to me, and I love Alexia, but that's when I realized, like, yeah, Gerty, you're not in the group chat with these ladies and they don't like you. Okay. So then Julia did the right thing, text Gerty to meet up. Gerty did the right thing,
showed up, making sure she looked her best. She had her ass. O't go ahead, Gerdy, body's looking great, she WOI was a fishnet onesie with the bikini of a nee child looking great. Julia looked great when they sat down. Look, I will say this, I will give Julia her props for initiating the conversation and apologizing first. And I think for Gerty that's all she wanted because not to speak for Gerdy, but again, I know how these shows work.
I think Gerty feels so much like she's on an island that isn't Gilligans, that she wanted to she wanted to make sure that she didn't make this shit up. I think Gerdy looked around like am I in the Twilight Zone, Like if the roles were reversed, if Gerty would have thrown a drink near Julia's direction, all of these girls would have not in my opinion, they would not be filming with her. I'm sorry, I'll say it.
I don't think they were filmed with her. I think they'll be like she's too much, they may say she's aggressive. I definitely think if the roles were reversed, things would be different and the way they would have treated Gerdy. Julia did apologize, though I appreciated that. Gertie says she felt backstabbed, and that's what I'm saying, rain drops, Gertie fell backstabb because she feels like at the end of the day, I know that mean LARSU may get into it,
but Julie, we were friends. We were real friends. We had a real friend ship. So when they flashed back to the scene where Julia said we were acquaintances, that hurt Gerty's feelings rightfully so, because again it's one of those things where you're like, am I in the fucking twilight zone? Was this all made up? Was this friendship made up? The conversations we had over the phone? Was that made up? To me? That's how Gertie felt. And then Julia's like, okay, bitch, I'll holl talks to you.
Your turn, like girl yells our honey, and Gernie's like, I can't apologize for reacting to your actions, and she's like, well, you hurt my feelings talking about the facelift, and is like, Julia, I love you, Julia. We're not going to compare somebody getting h two oh okay to a revelation of something that you actually did. Child now, unless it was a secret about the facelift. At the end of the day, you know you got the facelift and mine, I add, baby,
money well spent. You look gorgeous. You were gorgeous before, you're gorgeous now you will always be gorgeous. I'm here for it. But Gernie's like, look, I revealed that because of you saying that we weren't friends and that we were acquaintances. Now, look, I'm a clock, Gerty Gerdy. You also wanted to get your look back to and I'm not mad at it. I'm not mad at it. I'm not mad at it. That wasn't the sole reason, Girdy, baby, you wanted that teeth to be spelled because you're like
all bests are off. You threw a drink on me, bitch, times up, okay, reclaiming my time Maxine water style. So again, I appreciated Julia apologizing, and I appreciated Gerty accepting it and also apologizing for what her role was after getting splashed with water. But I also appreciate it too, and Beverly Hills Housewives take note. This incident did not last for the entire season. I love the fact that it happened, they immediately met up with each other, they made up,
and they moved on from it. We'll see what happens the rest of the season, but I like the fact that this isn't hanging over our heads for the entire season, and we have one storyline child, So shout out to Miami for that. Now let's get into my favorite scene of the episode. Baby. The ladies are getting ready to go to a Lexias event and they're all taking pretty much a sprinter van to go there. All the girls look good, it's a goddess theme. All the girls arrived
between noon and twelve thirty. Lisa decides to arrive at two thirty, and I like Lisa. One thing I have learned. One of the most disrespectful things you can do is be late. If you're five minutes late, we get a grace period of fifteen to be two hours late with the Jessica Simpson weed clips in your head. I don't understand. And I love Lisa. I do nothing Lisa does takes two hours. You put in the Jessica Simpson extensions in your hair. She's a beautiful woman. She doesn't need a
lot of makeup. You know, she's a size zero. So everything in the stores from thirteen below to Chanelle, they all have an outfit for Lisa. Understand why it takes Lisa two hours to get a Brady for anything? I don't. I don't. I don't get it. I don't get it. I don't get it. Ki Ki, by far, is the goddess when it comes to a look. She gives you a different wig, she gives you a different makeup palette, she gives you a different wardrobe. She may give you
a different accent as time, child, But kei key. If somebody said Kiki was two hours late, I would be like, well, when she shows up, she looks good, and we never know what we're going to get with ki Ki. Kiki changes her hair the way she changes her men, and I'm here for all of that. Lisa has had the same cramp hairstyle. Since I watched the show in twenty eleven, Lisa has had the same hairstyle in terms of duration
as the other Lisa, and that is Rena. If Lisa Renna ever showed up two hours late, we'll be like, Lisa Renna, you get that flat iron and you get the bumping curls and you get to work them on that bang. So I don't get it. So Stephanie, who actually is punctual, clocked it. The fact that Lisa, who these girls have been accustomed to being late to that degree, the fact that she was comfortable walking on that bus saying, Hi,
how are you you? Girls look so beautiful? Yes, God assists yes, and the girls were silent, and then Julie was like, but yes, God, is your late? Well you know, and then Stephanie said, do you think you're more valuable? And baby, that's when Stephanie was a potential mother to clock Lisa and say do you think you're more valuable? Lisa gagged, why are you being rude? Stephanie? You're the one being really you're two hours late? Should we just
thank you for showing up? You walk up on this bus, you greet us, and you all blah blah blah, because I'm sure Stephanie is like, what are you don't look like a woman that takes two hours to get ready, And it's no shade. Lisa is naturally a beautiful woman. But Stephanie is like, now, if you came in here looking like Kiki again, I'll get it. But you came in here looking like Jessica Simpson, just saying, just saying. So Lisa's offend that. It's She's like, don't talk to
me that way. You're real, who are you? You're the new girl and the girl. Don't talk to me that way. That's not something you can you can say to Stephanie and get away with it because Stephanie, Look, Stephanie has more money than everybody on that bus times ten. Stephanie can travel to to Beverly Hills, collect those checks and they still won't have as much money as Stephanie her husband. And it is what it is. So Stephanie isn't somebody's
going to back down to Lisa. Oh no, day. That's how Stephanie presented herself, like who are you for you to be late? Girl? Bye? And then Lisa's like, you put your hand on my face, and she goes, I actually put my hand here. I'm sure my arms are short. My hands don't even go past this lady's busom next to me, like girl bye. Lisa was not used to
anybody clocking her except Larsa. And that's why I have always been on the right side of history, Raindrops, I said to y'all from day one, I strongly am on Larsa's side. I am Larsa. Listen, I know Larsa is like Gerdie. Y'all have the love for y'all hate her. I happen to love Larsa, and I'm on Larsa's side. I've been on Larsa size as day one. I love Lisa. Lisa does give me. Lisa gives me selfish, she gives me self absorbed. She gives me me me, me, me, me, me,
me me me. That's what she gives. And that was evident, and that's why Stephanie clocked it and was like, I'm not here for it. There's a new sherif for town and her name is Stephanie and rain Drops, I can't wait to see more of her. So the continuation of that is next week. But listen, please, please, please, please, please with Cherry's on top, tune into Miami Housewives. It's an excellent season. This was episode five, I believe, so make sure you guys catch up. You will not be disappointed.
It was another great episode that I'm looking for to recapping this crazy show every week.
