‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ Episode 5 preview: Yovanna reveals that Cynthia called her friendship with NeNe 'toxic'

The sneak peek for upcoming episode 5 of 'RHOA' shows Yovanna returning with all the dirt on NeNe from Cynthia, while Kenya commits a major gifting faux pas.

Things are getting dirty between the ladies on ‘RHOA’. The upcoming episode of ‘RHOA’ will feature Kenya Moore committing a major gifting faux pas when she regifts a gift which was gifted to her daughter, Brooklyn, by fellow housewife, Eva Marcille to Porsha Williams’s daughter- Pilar. We see Porsha having a party and opening the gifts presented to her daughter.
 
Kenya walks in with a gift box, while Porsha accepts graciously, and opens it. She finds a cute doll and thanks Kenya for it. Kenya then reveals to the ladies that the doll has been rehomed and that it was gifted to Brooklyn but she is regifting it because she thinks the “energies” surrounding the gift are better suited for Porsha’s home and her daughter Pilar. Now, that’s some intense feather-ruffling on Kenya’s part. We are sure Porsha wouldn’t have appreciated this gesture of Kenya, and even Eva won’t be pleased with it.



 

Kenya can also be seen arguing with Cynthia. We see her snap at her fellow housewife, asking her to keep quiet so that she can speak. Although we do not know the exact details of their argument, we can’t wait for the episode to air to get our answers.
 
Yovanna from season 11 is back. This time we see the housewife’s friend at NeNe’s place. Marlo is present too, and the topic of Cynthia Bailey comes up. Yovanna reveals that when she went to Cynthia’s wine cellar , Cynthia told her a lot of things about NeNe. Cynthia reportedly called her friendship with NeNe as “toxic” and “ a burden”. When Marlo asks if she has receipts, Yovanna replies she has them all. Things are only going to get messier between NeNe and Cynthia, and we can’t wait for it to unfold.
 
‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ season 12 airs every Sunday, at 8 pm ET/PT on Bravo.
