K. Michelle is doing her part to help boost TV ratings for “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.” Ratings for RHOA are in decline and the series is at risk of being canceled. The cast members are under pressure to bring the drama.
The singer/actress, born Kimberly Michelle Pate, 44, clapped back at a fan who suggested she looks nervous on the set.
The fan wrote:
“They should have never cast K Michelle in #rhoa. She only knows how to fight the love and hip hop way, she doesn’t understand how to throw shade & she doesn’t even know how to act on camera. I’ve never seen a new person look as nervous as her.”
K. Michelle responded:
“Don’t sit [in] my face and play like you don’t what I’m talking about. You want a reaction you can have it. Say it to my face or be a quiet coward.”

Another fan suggested K. Michelle was having a nervous breakdown because she cried during one scene.
“I love @kmichelle, truly huge fan, but I found this hard to watch. It appeared to me, and I actually said to my husband as we watched OMG, she’s having a nervous breakdown.”
The former “Love & Hip Hop” star has beef with costars Porsha Williams and Drew Sidora. In episode 7 of RHOA, K. Michelle accused them of “plotting” against her.
In the scene, she called one of them “a lowdown mutherf-cker” without naming her directly. Then, in a confessional interview, K. Michelle went into more detail.
“Last night after we left dinner, someone called me and said that there was a plot and a plan this whole time from some of these ladies.” She then said that the plan was to spread rumors that she had some sort of involvement with the man Sidora had been seeing.

There is also a rumor about something a “disgruntled ex said eight years ago” in reference to body odor. Later, K. Michelle implied that the rumormonger is Porsha.
During dinner with her costars, Cynthia Bailey ordered oysters, and Porsha jokingly “tested” them. She compared the oysters to a woman’s feminine odor.
After using a fork to push the oysters around on the plate, Porsha announced, “That vagina is clean.”
