This past Sunday, fans of ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ were introduced to the shows newest addition Demetria McKinney. Although we haven’t seen much of the newbee just yet, based on a recent interview she did where she dished on her cast mates it seems as though we will soon know all to well about her.
In an exclusive sit down with Radar Online, the actress/singer dished openly on her upcoming feuds with vets Phaedra Parks and Nene Leakes and thoughts of the other ladies.
While discussing her issues with Phaedra, Demetria revealed “She is easily intimidated by everybody,” she unloaded. “I understand that life deals everybody a different deck and sometimes the hand you’re dealt isn’t necessarily fair, but turning bitter and turning on everybody around you is just not cool.”
McKinney said that she is “absolutely not” friends with Parks — and that the rumors circulating that Parks carried on an affair with a man reffered to as “Mr. Chocolate” are just karma.
She also doesn’t favor the way Parks has handled her marriage situation following Apollo Nida going to jail.
“For her to let him take the whole wrap, I think it’s just sad,” McKinney said. “You say so let’s not part through thick and thin and then once it gets thick with something you knew he was capable of, you go running and talking bad about him. It’s just adds to the persona.”
Demetria also revealed that she and the show’s sole original housewife, Nene Leakes do not get along (no surprise there).
“I came into this with a great deal of respect for everybody and I tried to start this journey, even kilter, on a even playing field and let people show me who they were,” she said. “And what I’ve seen from Nene Leakes doesn’t necessarily make me want to go running and connect with her.”
Demetria also dished on her issues with Porsha Williams, but had nothing but nice things to say about Kandi Burruss, Claudia Jordan, Cynthia Bailey and Kenya Moore.
“Kandi’s cool,” she revealed. “She really doesn’t say much and I respect that. She’s just is who she is. She’s comfortable, she’s happy, she’s not pressed.”
“Claudia is my homie,” she said. “I am a true tomboy and Claudia matches my tomboy. She came into this thing and I’ve noticed that a lot of the newbies that come into this show usually are fighting and usually don’t get along… we are the total opposite. We compliment each other very well. I love her.”
On Cynthia she revealed “That’s my baby!” she said. “Cynthia has always been a sweetheart to me.”
Despite their initial encounter Demetria has nothing but love for the show’s resident villain Kenya Moore “I really like Kenya,” she revealed. “I feel like she’s kind of gotten the bad wrap due to some unhappy people. But she’s a really good person. She has a genuine heart.”
Stay tuned to RHOA on Sunday’s at 8/7 C on Bravo to keep up with the upcoming drama!
