'Real Housewives of Atlanta' recap: season 7 reunion part 1

Let's summarize the various battles that bubbled up again during part one of three parts. Some disputes appeared to be resolved at the end of the season but came back to the surface again.

Porsha Williams vs. Kenya Moore

Porsha refused to apologize for her attack last year during the reunion show of Kenya.

Kenya has been much kinder and less victimized this season than her first two years on the show. Aunt Lori helped her see the light, that she could be forgiving and she would feel much better.

"Forgiveness is really about yourself," Kenya said, "It's not about the other person."

She sincerely forgave Porsha last season for the attack.

But Porsha said Kenya didn't deserve forgiveness on her part because she had slandered her in Puerto Rico by spreading "lies" about her dating a married African prince.

"Kenya said crazy things about me," Porsha said. "Why make space for her. I didn't. I won't."

Kenya said Porsha was not living up to the legacy of Porsha's grandfather Hosea Williams, a civil rights icon who was all about nonviolence and forgiveness.

"You want to be Christian," Kenya said to Porsha, "and you don't want to forgive people."

Nope. Porsha doesn't.

Porsha added fuel to the fire by making lame excuses about her behavior last year, saying she felt threatened by Kenya and that it was "isolated" behavior.

Kenya Moore vs. Phaedra Parks

Kenya during the season forgave Phaedra Parks for calling her a "whore" repeatedly.

But then Phaedra during the reunion show started throwing the "whore" word AGAIN. Kenya didn't respond in anger but instead turned it into a joke, saying if she were to truly be a whore, she'd do it so well, she'd have a museum and a Hollywood Walk of Fame star for her whore-ishness. (She is dating the guy she had met on "Milllionaire Matchmaker.")

Porsha Williams vs. Claudia Jordan

Porsha said despite the fact they seemed to be getting along at the end of the season (late fall), their relationship by March (when this reunion was taped) was "nonexistent."

Her excuse? Claudia wanted her to talk about her friend Kenya. "There was bad blood," Porsha said. "I didn't want to get into it."

Claudia: "You should get some positivity in your life."

Porsha heard through her circles that Claudia was "asking around about my personal life." That annoyed her. She also felt she was attacked in Puerto Rico by Claudia about the married prince.

Porsha denied dating said married prince. Claudia did the sneeze thing saying "bulls***." She noted that NeNe and Kandi alluded to the prince as well. And she said after Porsha got drunk in the Philippines, she told Claudia about the married prince.

Porsha said last season she was dating a "young athlete" but chose not to name him.

Porsha Williams vs. Cynthia Bailey

Cynthia Bailey was baffled that Porsha spread a rumor to Phaedra that her husband Peter Thomas was cheating on her. Porsha didn't apologize, saying she wasn't saying it to a lot of people. Wrong. Cynthia noted that she said it on camera.

NeNe Leakes vs. Kandi Burruss

NeNe thinks Kandi "hates" her. "Every time I've seen Kandi speak, she has been so negative," NeNe said.

Kandi said she doesn't hate NeNe. She likes NeNe when she's funny and joking. What she hates: "I hate your superiority complex. I hate when you talk down to people."

NeNe didn't have much of a response to that allegation, probably because it's true.

She did deny that Phaedra was talking about Kandi behind her back not supporting Phaedra in her time of need. NeNe said she connected with Phaedra over painful divorces.

NeNe Leakes vs. Claudia Jordan

Claudia didn't like NeNe insulting her at that dinner mid season and never felt she got a sincere apology for it. She also found it odd that NeNe walked out of that therapy session she had set up. She never felt like NeNe respected her from day one.

NeNe had no real defense because what Claudia said was essentially true.

Phaedra vs. Apollo

Apollo Nida couldn't make the reunion for obvious reasons (prison) but he was there in proxy.

Andy Cohen asked Phaedra several questions about her personal life. She told him she hasn't filed divorce papers yet but didn't really offer a clear reason why. "One day my children will have access to this footage," she said. "I want them to be proud of me as a mother, as a wife...What I do need in time to make appropriate decisions for me and my children and freedom to do it without people being judgmental."

Phaedra is keenly aware of her reputation. She said she has plenty of non-reality show careers and plenty of cash. At the same time, she clearly enjoys the attention, which is why she stays on this show.

She also has not visited Apollo in prison with her kids, repeating previous concerns that it would be difficult with a one year old. (Kandi said she's been to that prison and people bring kids all the time.)

It seems like Phaedra is making excuses.

And sadly, she didn't deny Andy's question wondering if Apollo had gotten physically abusive with her. "My husband definitely has a temper," Phaedra said. "He can get out of hand."

Watch What Happens Live

Kenya showed up. She was surprised that Porsha claimed ex-husband Kordell Stewart cheated on her, something she heard after the fact. Kenya heard it was the other way around.

She said she's still dating the "Millionaire Matchmaker" guy but is taking it slow. She never sees Walter, her fake boyfriend from season five.

Her theme of the night: "Going backwards."
