“Yes, completely, I really feel betrayed,” mentioned Porsha. Candiace mentioned, verbatim, “Michael was within the boat,” and he mentioned one thing about “placing it in a housewife grave.” She mentioned that. And after I introduced it up, she twisted it. Then in her interview, she admitted she was simply attempting to shine gentle on Michael. So she used me — early within the recreation — to try this.
That’s not how this recreation is normally performed, particularly not at first. Maybe later, when it’s your life or another person’s. But she’s a Traitor. For her to set me up like that, then act like she had my again on the roundtable? That’s not what housewives do.”
She continued,
“If you watch, the avid gamers caught collectively. Why? Because finally everybody’s going to be accused. You need somebody who can vouch for you — somebody you’ve camaraderie with. Us housewives had been imagined to have that sisterhood. I underestimated simply how cutthroat a few of them can be. That was my mistake.”
