On season two episode eight of Bravo's "The Real Housewives of Atlanta," Kandi Burruss and Phaedra Parks were both brought to tears during a heart-to-heart as they attempted to fix their broken friendship. Porsha Williams threw a big going-away bash for her new beau and introduced him to her disapproving family and "The Facts of Life" actress Kim Fields made her reality TV debut.
Fields' introduction into the realm of "Real Housewives" was a smooth one, as castmate Kenya Moore met with Fields to ask if she would give her advice on the pilot that Moore recently directed for a TV show titled "Life Twirls On." Fields agreed to take a look at it.
Fields later gave fans a more in-depth look into her life and what she brings to the cast of "RHOA." The working mom of two dished on her upcoming projects that include a maternity line, called Kicks and Giggles, and a home accessories line. She also gushed about her husband of eight years, Christopher Morgan, and said that although it's hard to find a work-life balance, her life is full of love and joy.
"I got my kids, I got my man, I got my career," Fields said. "What else do I need?"
Porsha's life is also full of happiness thanks to her new beau, Duke Williams of the NFL's Buffalo Bills, who is ten years her junior. The age difference doesn't bother Porsha as she openly admits that her new man is a "trophy" man, and even gifted him with an "MVP" award at his going away party. But her friends and family expressed their doubts with Duke and questioned if he's ready for marriage and children at 24-years-old.
"I wanna ask everybody to open your heart to what we have," Porsha addressed the party before she presented Duke with his trophy, "'Cause to me it's everything."
Parks paid a visit to Burruss at her Kandi Factory and the ladies had a heart-to-heart where they opened up about what caused the rift in their friendship. Parks felt that Burruss didn't support her as she went through hard times with her husband Apollo. Burruss blamed it on a lack of communication on both ends, and said she felt that she was the only one putting in effort.
"You were there for the delivery of both of my kids," Parks told Burruss, wiping away tears. "Not just the pregnancy, the delivery of both of them. So you have a place in my heart, unlike many people because you know how private I am. I wouldn't let anybody see my coochie."
The two old friends laughed at that point and hugged each other at the end of their conversation. Things seem to be patched up for now, even though the manager of Kandi's entertainment company DonJuan expressed his doubts about Park and whether her apology was genuine.
