During the dinner, Drew says there is ‘no blueprint for how to do this’ but Marlo keeps pushing back on it, which Kandi thinks is weird.

‘You do not think that it’s weird that you sent your nephews back and made them feel like away?’ Kandi asks which Marlo says, ‘Hell no.’

Marlo had custody of her nephews Michael and William for a number of years, but she ultimately sent them to live with other relatives after getting burnt out. 

‘You don’t think it’s weird that you have done… let your man feel belittled when it comes to your mother?’ Marlo asks, as table awkwardly reacts.

Kandi insists her man doesn’t feel belittled, as Marlo says in confession that ‘kids are off limits you do not do that.’

Marlo says Kandi takes care of her man Todd and the others think that’s a low blow as they keep arguing back and forth.

Kandi argued that she has taken care of her kids but also ‘other people’s kids’ which is why she can relate to Marlo’s situation, adding she never told them to get the ‘f**k out.’  

Todd ultimately spoke up and said, ‘ I know you– how you came into this circle. You bought your way into this circle. Nobody was your friend,’ though Marlo insisted she ‘came with Phaedra,’ referring to Phaedra Parks, who was on the show from Season 3 through Season 9.

Todd insisted, ‘None of them was your friend at the time. I watched.
