10 Wildest Moments from Season 14 of 'The Real Housewives of Atlanta'

The premiere of Season 15 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta arrived on Sunday with a bang. The trailer for the new season promises us plenty of drama, debauchery, and even a fresh divorce, so there’s no better time for a brief refresher on all the tea, shade, and victories that brought these Georgia peaches to where they are today. And with the entire cast from Season 14 making a triumphant return to our screens, there’s a lot of unfinished business.

Season 14 was all killer no filler. OG housewife, Shereé Whitfield, returned once again. (Whitfield departed after season four in 2012, returned briefly in 2015, starred once again in seasons eight and nine and then left again in 2018.) But this time, she meant business, from avenging her title as the “bone collector” to proving to all her naysayers that She by Shereé is the real deal.

Newcomer Sanya Richards-Ross showed everyone that she isn’t just a captivating cast member but also a four-time gold-medal-winning Olympian who can truly do it all. After years of making explosive cameos as a friend, Marlo Hampton finally earned a peach and made her mark as an official cast member. Meanwhile, Kandi Burress became the longest-serving housewife, Kenya Moore was her old, vivacious self off the back of a messy divorce, and Drew Sidora let all her dirty laundry hang loose. Simply put, Season 14 didn’t pull any punches— and neither did the women.

Here's the most memorable moments from Season 14 of RHOA:

1. She by Shereé is finally here after 14 years

Ever since Dwight Eubanks uttered the words, “A fashion show with no fashions? How dreadful,” in season one, Shereé has been struggling to vindicate her eponymous clothing line. What started as a bright idea remained a nebulous promise for 14 years. Everyone from fans and cast members to Andy Cohen have been asking when they’d get the chance to purchase something— anything—from the Atlanta housewife. Despite being two hours late and getting the samples mere moments before the show, Shereé pulled it off. Of course, Dwight was there in the middle of the action, getting a front-row seat to the triumphant season-finale moment.

2. Brooklyn’s birthday party that went from high tea to spilling it all

One thing about Kenya is that no matter where she is or the occasion, she can’t help but indulge in a little tea. Her daughter Brooklyn’s third birthday began as a chic children’s tea party, but that quickly changed when things started getting heated at the adult table. It all started with Kenya wanting to play a game. She asked everyone to write down some “fun shade” they know about each other. To no one’s surprise, it took mere seconds for things to go downhill, with Kandi clutching her proverbial pearls as she read a card that simply read: “Kandi suck dick in the locker room.” Drew was mortified after hearing gay rumors about her husband being spewed at her by Shereé’s friend, Fatum, who allegedly heard it from Shereé’s former and Drew’s current assistant.

3. Everyone shared how they like to get down and dirty in New York

When Kandi sent out invitations for a trip to New York personally delivered by models dressed in fetish gear, most of the housewives were unimpressed. Drew thought it was funny, but Kenya didn’t appreciate a vixen in nipple pasties sauntering down her driveway. Kandi has always been unapologetically sexually liberated, so a few prudish reactions wouldn’t stop her from doubling down and insisting that people wear vibrating panties as they attended her award-winning Broadway play Thoughts of a Colored Man. ​​She managed to find a happy middle ground that worked for everyone insisting that they share debaucherous sexcapades for a chance at the best room. While Marlo straight up lied, Kenya shed her puritan attitude to tell a tall tale about a hunting trip, animal blood, and having sex in a cave that prematurely ended when a coyote rose from the dead. Everyone was weirded out and unsure how true it was, but quickly let Kenya have her pick of the rooms to put a premature end to that conversation.

4. The neverending driveway fight that could only be solved with a trampoline

When the ladies headed to Blue Ridge for a girls' trip, Marlo was really hoping and manifesting moments of bonding, love and friendship. There was no chance in hell of that happening when Kenya arrived. The morning of a gemstone mining expedition, the tension between the two bubbled over into a fight, causing the ladies to spend hours in the driveway. And what’s more contagious than a cold in the Housewives Cinematic Universe? A fight. Suddenly Drew and Fatum started squabbling (again). It’s a confusing hot mess that ends in Marlo running to her room. In the midst of all the chaos, the women stumble upon the inground trampolines that are on the property. All it takes is for everyone to jump up and down and shake off their anger to snap out of the driveway spell. Someone needs to bring a trampoline on every trip.

5. Drew used props to literally throw shade

As healing as the trampolines were, the effects were temporary, with Marlo announcing to the women that she was sending everyone home and ending the trip early. The straw that broke Marlo’s back was Fatum and Drew, who couldn’t keep it together even after they bounced it all out. But Drew couldn’t go home until she got in one final shot. After affectionately calling Fatum “Sheree’s lap dog,” Drew reached behind her and threw a dog bone at Fatum. You can always rely on this cast to bring props.

“All I’m saying is when you come for me, you’re gonna get what all comes with me. Was she not barking the whole day?” Drew said during the RHOA: After Show. “She showed up cross-eyed. She showed up with a bottle in her hand, a wine glass, and her hair just was swelling. And then she just kept barking at me… The whole day she was trying it, trying it, trying it.”

6. Nothing good came from that trip, except maybe this meme

7. Demons were exorcized with a sisterly coochie cleanse

Before the harrowing Blue Ridge trip, things were actually going well between the women. Shereé hosted a pajama party at the Chateau. OG Lisa Wu was in the building along with Sheree's friend Monyetta, and all the women pushed the boundaries of the theme. The night started tame enough with a sip and paint, but it wasn’t long before the alcohol started flowing, and Kenya got absolutely obliterated—but proved to be the most fun when drunk. Some fun with her friends is exactly what Shereé needed after getting stood up and ending things with Tyrone—or as her mum knows him—“prison bae.” Fatum decided that what Shereé really needed at that moment was to free herself from the breakup blues by cleansing her vagina. Armed with some “coochie-scented” incense, everyone banded together to get Shereé right, no matter how wrong it seemed.

8. Sanya brought the pattie problems and Jamaican pride

Atlanta would be nothing without the drama, but sometimes our nervous systems need a break. With her parents, sister, husband, and kids all under the same roof, Sanya’s family brought moments of levity and some very relatable parent-induced eye-rolling. Fights over who’s eating whose patties and quick quips from her dad gave early-2000s Kardashians, if they were Jamaican. So it was no surprise that Sanya hosted a trip for everyone in Jamaica in the middle of the season, where the rum punch and curry goat were flowing.

9. Three ghosts of seasons past came back to haunt us, and it was a lot of fun

Once a husband leaves a franchise, especially after a messy divorce, it’s rare that the audience even wants to see him again. But for some reason, three Atlanta husbands — Bob Whitfield, Apollo Nida, and Peter Thomas — have become beloved vehicles of nostalgia on Atlanta (and for Peter, on The Real Housewives of Potomac). And all three come together in the season finale, with Apollo walking the She by Shereé runway, Bob in the crowd, and Peter’s split-second on-screen cameo where Kenya tells him his fly is undone.

10. Anthony, the assistant, became the seventh unofficial housewife

While it’s inevitable that some women won’t get along, the catalyst of a lot of the drama between Drew, Fatum and Shereé this season was someone who isn’t on the cast, nor are they a husband or a friend. The instigator was Anthony, Drew’s assistant who used to work for Shereé. It all began with him sharing personal information about Shereé, of which Drew didn’t share, but when Ms. Whitfield sees red, she will stop at nothing to take someone down. And so the conflict between the two women began. Anthony was on our screens for just a few minutes, but his words were palpable throughout the season, from accusations about Shereé being cheap and not paying her staff to gay rumors about Drew’s husband, Ralph. Needless to say, Anthony was working for that peach. But we’re not sure if the audience wants him back…
