Hello my truetea sippers! I wanted to share my thoughts on Wendy and Mia’s current mini feud..
First off, let me say Potomac is bringing it for season 6 indeed! I’m loving the storylines with everyone, so far. Mia and Askale were great additions as well. They are my favorite housewife show on Bravo.
I do like Mia as a housewife. I like how open and transparent she is with her life, for the most part. You can tell she has studied the franchise, because she came in guns blazing. It seems as if she was accepted by all the ladies, except Wendy. Wendy is not really feeling her at all. Which does happen. Sometimes, you just don’t vibe with people. They either rub you the wrong way, or they remind you of something and/or someone.
Even going back to the season premiere episode: when Karen asked Wendy at her lunch, if she can bring her friend Mia to her nude event, Wendy’s response was “ok nah”. When Mia arrived at her house, she thanked Wendy for inviting her to her home, and it seemed they were all off to a good start. Then, when they starting eating, and they all asked what Wendy had done. Wendy asked Mia what all did she have done, because it looked like she’s had alot of work done. Mia caught the shade and handled it accordingly. By the second episode at Karen’s house, when they clashed again, I was convinced that these 2 must have prior history, because I wasn’t understanding the hostility between them. It’s beyond catty, petty shade, etc. However, I was informed that they do not have any prior history.
So here’s what I think Wendy’s issue may be with Mia: I know some are screaming jealousy, and I don’t think that is it persay. However, I will say this, during these early episodes, I believe Wendy was under alot of stress, due to blogs putting out salacious rumors about Eddie cheating on her. I remember even calling out one blog in particular for putting these stories without receipts. Because fans were taking these stories and harassing castmates over it. I do think this may have carried to the show. I know some are probably thinking: “well what does Mia have to do with this”? I think is Mia is catching the heat for being a newbie. Since all newbies are hazed at some point or another.
I also think it does bother Wendy that Mia has had a overall better reception than her, from the viewers and the girls. Though Wendy is blackgirlmagic personified, beautiful, accomplished with a beautiful family: The viewers did not give Wendy a fair chance AT ALL! Because she was Candiace’s friend. Since many hated Candiace, therefore yall didn’t like or even wanted to get to know Wendy. I remember all the comments from blogs and fans. A few of the girls didn’t initially vibe with her either. As Karen said, “she wasn’t impressed” and even tried to get her kicked off the show. Her being accomplished and educated annoyed everyone. The fans were tired of hearing about her 4 degrees and the cast didn’t wanna her resume either. The viewers didn’t give her a fair chance, no matter what she said or did. I do believe this may have gotten to her.
Now here comes newbie Mia, who most of the fans instantly liked. Even when her pic was leaked that she was joining season 6. Most people said she was pretty and also said the GEB would instantly be jealous of her. She was Karen’s friend and instantly had her stamp of approval. Everyone liked her, her stories, her businesses, family, etc. Though she does tell some little white lies, she’s not vilified like how Wendy was. I think Wendy is comparing how she was treated and vs how Mia is treated, and could be lashing out at her over it. Also, on top of dealing with blogs lying and trying to ruin your family. That’s what I think it is. I don’t believe the loyalty theory. Because they’re all in this group, so they’re supposed to get to know each other. That would be Candiace questioning Wendy’s loyalty to her, since she and Karen are now becoming cozy. Especially with all the craziness that surrounded last season. I think Wendy is comparing treatments and reception and is lashing out for it. I will watch and see how this all plays out. But for now, this is my theory on this feud. But tell me what yall think 🥰
