Rinder :

Why comment on this at all?

Michelle Epperson Webb :

DBabyDaBossLady :

I will never understand why people go out there way and try to make someone speak to them and they know they dislike each other or have beef. I am not going out my way to acknowledge my enemies. I'm staying far away. people have to understand no one has to acknowledge you and that's ok if they don't cordial is not necessary either this was professional event so cordial was ok. Tamar got to understand they have a big dislike her and kandi and Monica don't like her either. Be ok with that and not address it. Everything don't need a reaction. if you know your within good intentions and you not on no sneaky shit you good no reaction but when your wrong you be bothered and you react to it. there is a difference. I'm not reacting to shit that is not me especially when I'm not in the wrong. People will trick you into being a problem on purpose. She got to just learn to accept that enemies will not say hello or congratulations. they don't owe each other nothing💯

Everyone involved , Do Better

Candai :

It’s a less than 10 second interaction with no audio and that we are obsessed over. I have thoughts about the physical contact, but at the end of the day three women got through an awkward moment pretty decently. Two things can be true- one person could be cordial while another person or two felt uncomfortable. And it’s over. The women in that line were beautifully celebrated. And that’s what was most important.
