Claudia Jordan on ‘The Next 15′ Feud With Jennifer Williams, Says Her and Nene Leakes Are Now 'Cool'

Wetpaint.com:

Former Real Housewives of Atlanta star Claudia Jordan and Basketball Wives veteran Jennifer Williams just can’t seem to get along on their new TV One show, The Next 15, and it seems things are only going to get worse.

For the past five episodes of the new hit show, both Claudia and Jennifer have been throwing jabs at each other. While we hoped at some point the ladies would learn to get along, the former Atlanta star tells Wetpaint it would be a long road to a reconciliation.

The Deal or No Deal model explained what she thought caused the rift between herself and the former NBA wife, as well as dished on some of the The Next 15 reunion show showdown, which spilled onto Instagram just days after the filming.

Despite all the insults being spewed back and forth, the 42-year-old actress said she was open to making amends with her castmate, though several changes would have to be made.

Claudia Jordan Starring on TV One’s New Show ‘The Next 15″

AJC.com:

Getting dropped from a reality show can be a big blow to anybody’s ego when being a reality star is part of your being.

It happened to both Benzino and Claudia Jordan. VH1’s “Love and Hip Hop Atlanta” dropped him and his fiance Althea Hart in 2014 after a stormy season three reunion show. Jordan lasted just one season on “Real Housewives of Atlanta” and was let go last year.

But Carlos King, the man behind “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” still wanted to be in business with Jordan. And he nabbed Benzino as well.

Called “The Next 15,” the reality show plays off the Andy Warhol “15 minutes of fame” line. It debuts on TV One at 9 p.m. Wednesday night.

Jordan has since moved back to Los Angeles. Benzino was planning to open an office for “Hip Hop Weekly” in L.A. anyway so he joined the show as well.

The first episode is a bit of a meta show because it shows the “casting” process or whatever King chooses to show as the casting process. Jordan tells King she wants to create a talk show featuring former reality stars.

Demetria McKinney and Longtime Boyfriend Roger Bobb are Finally Engaged

People.com:

If you've got it, flaunt it – an engagement ring, of course.

Real Housewives of Atlanta guest star Demetria McKinney got engaged to her longtime beau and TV executive Roger Bobb, and she can't stop showing off the gorgeous ring. (Hey, we don't blame her.)

The actress, singer and reality star posed for pictures with her sparkler at the Growing Up Hip Hop premiere at SCADshow in Atlanta on Tuesday, and she gushed about the happy news on Instagram.

"It's true! I'm no longer #RogerBobb girlfriend! We are #engaged ! Thank u to all who rooted for and supported us!" McKinney, 36, captioned a selfie showing the ring on Tuesday.

McKinney, best known for her role as Janine Payne on TBS sitcom Tyler Perry's House of Payne, has been dating Bobb, 48, for several years. The star has a teenage son from a previous relationship.

"Balancing her career and relationship while raising a son as a single mother hasn't always been easy, but Demetria strongly believes family comes first," her Bravo bio reads.

Gay Internet Star Alleges Affair With Porsha Williams' Ex-Husband Kordell Stewart

RadarOnline.com:

For years, rumors have swirled that former pro football player Kordell Stewart was secretly gay, and hiding behind his marriage to Real Housewives of Atlanta star Porsha Williams, and now, his alleged gay lover is speaking out, providing details of his affair with the star!

Stewart’s alleged lover is none other than Andrew Caldwell, who rose to international fame with a viral video in which he declared that he had been “delivered” from his homosexuality. “I don’t like mens no more,” Caldwell declared to a church congregation. “I like women women women!” Caldwell has since admitted that he’s still gay — and now he’s saying that he had an affair with Stewart while he was married to Porsha!

“I dated Kordell,” he said in an interview with The ShakeUP Morning Show. While he claimed that sleeping with Stewart was only a one-time occurrence, he was able to parlay the affair into quite the lucrative arrangement. “I had everything that Portia got… I had bags, purses, cars. I’m in a Jaguar right now. Honey, did you see that Jaguar over there?”

Caldwell explained how he came to meet the former NFL star. “We was at a bar. We was at a restaurant and I was like, ‘Oh my God, that’s Kordell.’ “And they was like, ‘Yeah, he’s a football player.’ I was like, ‘Mmm… I like football players… I dated other football players too, I dated some of the Rams.”

Caldwell also admitted that he knew Kordell was married to Williams when he slept with him. “I think she is a gold digger,” he said of the RHOA star. “Girl, you know your husband was gay.”

As Radar has reported, Williams has made gay innuendo at Stewart in the past, suggesting that she had served as her husband’s beard during their marriage.

Claudia Jordan Fired Again! Reportedly Tossed From Gig At The ‘Rickey Smiley Morning Show’

ADW.com:

It has been a tortuous couple of weeks for reality TV star and radio personality Claudia Jordan.

First, the Atlanta import had her Georgia “Peach” snatched from her and then she was unceremoniously tossed onto the reality show garbage heap — just when she was reportedly negotiating a new contract with the “Real Housewives of Atlanta.”

Now, sources close to the radio show said she has been fired from her second gig here in Atlanta, the prized co-hosting spot on the “Rickey Smiley Morning Show,” an insider told this writer at the Atlanta Daily World.

Jordan had just moved to Atlanta last year from her stomps in Los Angeles specifically for these two jobs, and now her magic carpet ride has crashed and burned on famed Peachtree Street.

To be fair, Jordan continues to say she may still return to RHOA, that she has not necessarily been completely banished from the reality show.

As far as the RSMS is concerned, Jordan took to her social media page to corroborate the news to her fans that her tenure on the RSMS has abruptly ended, though the open letter is configured in a way to insinuate she is leaving on her own accord.

Nene Leakes’ Son Bryson Was Arrested Again...This Time For Connection To Check Forgery

AJC's Radio & TV Talk:

NeNe Leakes’ oldest son Bryson Bryant was arrested last week in Douglas, GA in connection with a check forgery case.

Bryant, 25 of Duluth, was not charged with check forgery. He had a fake check written to him, but he hadn’t cashed it yet so he couldn’t be charged for that, according to Coffee County investigator Robert Sprinkle.

Bryant was arrested only because he provided the cops with a false name, a misdemeanor.

On Tuesday, June 16, investigators made two arrests involving fraudulent payroll checked passed throughout the state, with more than $35,000 tracked. The Douglas Police Department saw an individual at a local McDonald’s with a laptop and printer making fraudulent Taco Bell payroll checks. That man, Inginac Walter Theodore of Athens was arrested on five felony counts for printing fraudulent checks.

The police said Bryant was in the vehicle and lied about who he was. Bryant’s ID was found with Theodore.

Bryant was arrested and released on bond. Theodore remains at the Coffee County jail, Sprinkle said.

According to booking information, Bryant is married and works at Five Guys. RadarOnline said Bryant has a couple of children with Ashley Hill.

He has been charged with various minor infractions in his adult life. He was arrested in 2010 in Gwinnett County for a small pot possession charge.

In 2011, he was arrested for shoplifting two Mach 3 razors at a Wal-Mart.

The rest of this comes from Radaronline:

In 2013, he was arrested for DUI after a car accident, then for reckless driving later in the year in Johns Creek.

While on probation, Bryant failed to report to his probation officer multiple times, tested for cocaine and skipped mandatory DUI school. As a result, Radaronline said he spent three months last fall in prison. He was also ordered into rehab earlier this year.

Claudia Jordan Fired From 'RHOA' – Nene Responsible?

TMZ.com:

Claudia Jordan learned the hard way not to mess with Nene Leakes … because she's been fired ... TMZ has learned.

We’re told that producers gave her the ax this week … and she didn’t see it coming.

Jordan got a lot of face time last season by standing up to the show’s O.G. Nene Leakes. Fact is ... Kenya Moore also mouthed off to Nene, but she's earned her stripes over time.

The new season begins filming next month in ATL. Bravo hasn't decided if Claudia can come back for guest appearances.

Nene Leakes always wins.

Claudia Jordan Says She Was Racially Profiled In Alabama Mall, Calls For Boycott

AL.com:

"Real Housewives of Atlanta" cast member Claudia Jordan is asking fans to boycott Auburn Mall after being kicked out of the shopping center this weekend for wearing sunglasses indoors.

The reality star and radio personality, who was visiting the shopping center with rapper Ginuwine, took to Instagram on Friday to post her grievances on an encounter with security, saying that she was racially profiled and kicked out of the mall after refusing to remove her sunglasses.

"Never go to the Auburn Mall if you're a minority and you chose to wear sun glasses," said Jordan in an Instagram post. "Clearly it's against the law if you are black. Meanwhile we saw 2 white women and a white man wearing sunglasses who were not harassed or even approached. There were no signs saying that sun glasses were not allowed. Please do NOT tell me racism is dead. I'm a classy, educated woman with no criminal record simply wanting to shop in the local mall who was harassed by punk ass mall security and police were called. The message is clear- our KIND was not welcomed here and they are willing to use any excuse to get us all the way up outta there. Way to go Auburn Mall!"

Jordan also posted on Twitter about the incident, saying that it was racially charged since other white shoppers wearing sunglasses were not approached by security.

On its part, the Auburn Mall posted a statement on Facebook on Sunday about the complex's code of conduct regarding apparel and accessories that conceal a person's identity. You can read the full statement below:

"The code of conduct states that 'apparel or accessories that may conceal or disguise the identity of the person is strictly prohibited'. We regret that our Auburn Mall management and security team misinterpreted this policy to include sunglasses as that was not our intent. We are taking appropriate action to ensure we do not have another incident of this nature again. We aim to treat all patrons with respect and will continue to work to improve the shopping experience at the Auburn Mall."

Jordan and Ginuwine were in the Auburn area for a performance.

Porsha Williams Talks Possibly Of Returning To 'Real Housewives Of Atlanta' Next Season

OKmagazine.com:

Although Porsha Williams had a recurring role on The Real Housewives of Atlanta this season, she didn’t let her limited time on the show stop her from bringing the drama! The reality star exclusively opened up to OKMagazine.com about her possible return next season and who she wants to see holding a peach!

“I will if offered,” Porsha said of returning for season eight. “I would not mind returning to the show. It’s a great opportunity. It’s a great platform and I do enjoy the friends that I have on the show, so it would be a natural progression if I were to continue on with them.”

Clashing with Claudia Jordan, Kenya Moore and Cynthia Bailey all season long, the trio wasn’t on her list of who she wants to see return next season! “I want to see the people that I like return,” she said. “Kandi [Burruss], Phaedra [Parks] and NeNe [Leakes].”

Now that Porsha is finished filming RHOA for the time being, she’s focusing on other projects. “I have a lingerie line that will be coming out this summer,” she said. “It’s super sexy and it’s made for every body type, made for the curvy girls.” She added that her hair extension line, Go Naked Hair, “is doing very, very well.”

As viewers have watched on the show, Porsha also works for Dish Nation. “Dish Nation is wonderful,” she gushed. “We hit our record high in ratings not long ago, almost 1.9 million viewers so ratings are just going up and up. We’ve had amazing guests (her favorite has been Samuel L. Jackson!). I’ve been able to expand and do interviews, press junkets and red carpets.”

Part three of The Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion airs Sunday at 8/7 on Bravo.

Claudia Jordan Says Porsha Williams’ Has Had A “Stank” Attitude All Season Long

Wetpaint.com:

Claudia Jordan and Porsha Williams may run in the same social circles and share not one, but two places of employment, but that doesn’t mean we’ll see the Real Housewives of Atlanta co-stars become BFFs anytime soon.

After plenty of tension between Porsha, who was stripped of her peach this season, and Claudia, who eagerly took over the position, Claudia is finally admitting that nothing has changed between her and Porsha and that it likely never will.

In a new post for BravoTV.com, Claudia calls out Porsha for the heaping dose of attitude she’s given her all season.

“She's been quite stank all season,” says Claudia. “The last time I was surprised at her actions was when we met for lunch way back in the very beginning of the season, because up until a week prior, I thought we were cool enough. Not friends, BFFs, or besties, but cordial acquaintances. But when she kept doing little catty things, I saw what it was.”

While Claudia says that she understands why Porsha might feel threatened by her, she says that she’s done her best to keep things civil, even keeping much of the good gossip she’s heard about the Dish Nation host under her hat.

“At the end of the day, I don't care what and whom that girl allows to enter her bat cave. But just keep it polite and cute towards me,” says Claudia. “Don't get caught out there loudly running your mouth about me in hallways. Don't be shady at work. Don't make statements to NeNe slandering me and Kenya.”

Real Housewives of Atlanta’s TV Ratings Are Down

ADW.com:

Perhaps the years of manufactured drama has worn as stale as two-day-old oatmeal on the audience of the “Real Housewives of Atlanta.”

Not even the addition of full-time cast member Claudia Jordan and part-timer Demetria McKinney could do much to clear the cobwebs from the corridor of decision making from Bravo brass.

Whatever the reason, RHOA ratings have plummeted from the time of being America’s most popular reality show this side of the Kardashians.

“The show’s ratings have definitely waned as the season moved on and the drama fell off,” the AJC reports. “Last week was a case in point: 2.62 million and a 1.1 18-49 rating for the 21st episode.

“A year ago? 3.9 million and a 1.7 18-49 rating. These are overnight ratings. The Live+3 (DVR usage) ratings did improve the numbers to 3.2 million and 1.5-18-49. But it’s clear the show is far less popular this season than season six. Average overnight viewership is about 3 million vs. 3.7 million a year ago.”

Have we seen the best days of RHOA? Or is it simply a case of RHOA taking a backseat to more popular reality shows such as the “Love and Hip Hop” and “Basketball Wives” franchises?

Let's face it, Phaedra and estranged husband Apollo Nida's relationship, while at the forefront this season, just wasn't winning over viewers. And it couldn't have helped that Kenya was mostly drama-free this year, much less keeping her love life such a secret, nor did everyone ganging up against NeNe. Bottom line, it's still NeNe's show and Bravo execs may need to be reminded of that.

Claudia Jordan Calls Out Lewd Comments: ‘New Laws Need To Be Passed’

Inquisitr.com:

The Real Housewives of Atlanta star Claudia Jordan may still be the new housewife to the show as she is wrapping up her first season, but she is learning that the wives on the show isn’t the only thing she has to deal with. Jordan is a very active person on social media, and she responds to comments and messages from fans. But because Claudia is so active on social media, many people will write harsh and mean things to her. Sadly, that is part of the package when you share your personal life on television.

But it sounds like Claudia Jordan has had enough of the drama. It isn’t the first time that Claudia has called out people for being mean to her on Twitter, but this morning, Jordan revealed that she had seen enough. Claudia is now calling for a change in laws to deal with people who simply just cross the line with their comments.

According to a new set of tweets, The Real Housewives of Atlanta star Claudia Jordan is now revealing that she would like to see the laws change in regards to online bullying, as she has seen some foul comments on the internet lately. As Claudia herself reveals, none of the comments are necessarily directed at her.

“Wow…. some grimy a** people out here in these internet streets. #NoBoundaries #NoChill #NoClass,”

Claudia Jordan tweeted this morning.

“It’s just amazing how folks try to hurt each other outta spite using the net. Some new laws need to be passed cause folks doing the most! And NO nothing happened TO me today. But I’m seeing some foul things being done to others and it’s so not cool! People gotta move on in life. Be kind, be cool, do what you think’s the right thing, don’t be spiteful and keep your Karma good. I swear I try this and I’m being rewarded.”
Even though Claudia claims that the comments she was referring to had nothing to do with her, she was the subject of several opinions just last week. On The Real Housewives of Atlanta, Claudia Jordan decided to sit down and talk to Phaedra Parks about her marital issues. During this talk, Jordan revealed that she herself had gone through a divorce. Porsha Williams has later revealed that she didn’t think it was Jordan’s place to get so personal with Parks.

And according to the Inquisitr, fans were not pleased with Jordan either. Maybe there is a sense of loyalty to Phaedra because she has been on the show for much longer than Claudia. Fans were not pleased with her actions, and expressed their opinions on Twitter.

Phaedra Parks: Kandi and I Are on the Same Page

Bravotv.com:

Phaedra Parks opens up about her sit downs with Claudia Jordan and Kandi Burruss.

Bravotv.com: Did Claudia's overtures to you change your opinion of her or make you feel more comfortable with her?
Phaedra Parks: I did not have an opinion about Claudia. Claudia and I do not know each other, and we have had very limited interaction. I certainly appreciated the favorable accommodations. Connecting with her gave us an opportunity to begin laying the foundation for future interactions.

Bravotv.com: Did the conversation with Kandi help get you both on the same page?
PP: I think the conversation with Kandi helped us get on the same page. I value friendships and know that all relationships require an investment of time, patience, and effective communication.

Bravotv.com: Why did you decide to have the sit down with Kenya?
PP: As a Christian, I believe in forgiveness and redemption. While Kenya and I have deep rooted issues, I am finally at a place where I am willing to sit down with her and hear her out. The only way to describe our relationship is wounded. And everybody knows that wounds require air to heal. Hopefully, this conversation will serve as that air.
