The "snakegate" is finally over! The latest episode of 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' gave us the answers that we have been waiting for.

This entire season, we saw the housewives trying to crack the case of who the snake is in their group who has been secretly recording the conversations of housewives without their knowledge.
 
Since the inception of the "snakegate", fans have been speculating that NeNe's friend Yovanna might be the snake, and fans have been vocal about it on social media.

However, Bravo took its own sweet time to give us the big reveal. The latest episode saw the housewives sitting together to finally get answers about the snake, who secretly recorded Cynthia's conversation about NeNe.
 
Kenya Moore, Porsha Williams, and Kandi Burruss are convinced that Yovanna might be the snake and decide to ambush her into confessing.

When the ladies try to trick Yovanna into believing that her friend Marlo Hampton spilled the beans about her, instead of coming clean, Yovanna begins attacking the group and calls all the housewives "fake", and then launches into making fun of Porsha's fiancé Dennis.



 

Although NeNe refuses to confirm if Yovanna is the snake in front of the housewives, in her green room interview, NeNe said that it indeed was Yovanna who recorded the conversation.

Fans were not surprised by the big reveal and took to their social media to express the same. A fan tweeted, "We all knew Yovanna is the snake! All of them should've beat her a** for lying and still lying. #RHOA."

Another fan wrote, "I knew Yovanna was the snake when @Kandi asked her about recording @CynthiaBailey10 b/c her reply was who said I recorded Cynthia...when you’re not guilty you answer the question. Not reply with a question. #RHOA."
 
"But really... Was it not obvious that Yovanna was the snake? In Episode 3 she said she had receipts of Cynthia talking s**t about Nene, and then they never revisited it. #RHOA," commented a fan.

Another fan shared, "Obviously we knew Yovanna was the snake Bravo #RHOA," while one fan expressed, "We coulda had a half a season of people coming for Yovanna, but they wasted time on this silly, "who's the snake?" subplot. Whole time, we knew it was Yovanna, 'that b*tch' #RHOA."
 
'Real Housewives of Atlanta' Season 12 airs every Sunday at 8 pm ET/PT on Bravo.
