"The latest instalment of The Real Housewives Of Atlanta followed in the footsteps of last week&amp;#039;s party-themed episode. Sheree Whitfield planned an &amp;#039;Independence Party&amp;#039; to celebrate her divorce from ex-NFL player husband Bob Whitfield. She checked out possible venues for the women-only bash and settled upon the establishment Door 54. Kim Zolciak informed her friend Cori that her on/off boyfriend &amp;#039;Big Poppa&amp;#039; had re-entered her life. She expressed reservations about dating him, since he is legally married with a divorce pending. &amp;quot;I was done with &amp;#039;Big Poppa,&amp;#039; he really hurt me. And some things are really hard to forgive and forget,&amp;quot; she stated. Lisa Wu Hartwell and Kandi Burruss prepped for their Pocketbook Monologues, which are spoken word performances akin to the Vagina Monologues that the women were involved with for charity. The pair later acted out their speeches, while Lisa said hers went &amp;quot;better than she expected&amp;quot;. Kandi experienced technical difficulties with her microphone pack at first, but delivered a presentation that the production&amp;#039;s director stated was taken to a &amp;quot;whole new level&amp;quot;. Meanwhile, NeNe Leakes met with Denene Miller, the co-author of her memoir, and told the writer she wanted her book to be &amp;quot;juicy&amp;quot;. The night of Sheree&amp;#039;s party arrived. Kim showed up on crutches, as she had suffered a hairline fracture from her spill at last week\u2019s &amp;#039;Alter Ego&amp;#039; party.  NeNe confronted Kim about working together on &amp;#039;Tardy For The Party&amp;#039;. She told Kim &amp;quot;more people would buy the song if I was on the song&amp;quot;, while Kandi joined in on the conversation that turned into an argument. Kim left the party after calling NeNe &amp;quot;evil&amp;quot;. Sheree intervened with a speech, saying: &amp;quot;Tonight is not for anything negative.&amp;quot; However, another row erupted between Kandi and NeNe, who told the music producer she&amp;#039;s dealing with a &amp;quot;liar&amp;quot; in Kim. Kandi attempted to extract herself from the heated exchange by saying: &amp;quot;You need to bring it down.&amp;quot; Sheree proclaimed her bash a &amp;quot;success&amp;quot;, adding: &amp;quot;[it] was amazing\u2026other than that fight.&amp;quot; The Real Housewives Of Atlanta airs on Bravo.
