As the women gathered around a glacier-sized kitchen island to pick at some welcome snacks, Candiace brings up Mia calling her music video shoot low-rent and the situation quickly escalated to two grown women throwing handfuls of salad at each other and insulting each other’s mothers. Candiace’s husband Chris is brought in to mediate and ends up literally cleaning up his wife’s mess with a broom.
He is tasked with this job several more times throughout, but it’s Gizelle and Robyn who really prove to be the bad houseguests, sneaking out to check into a hotel because the bathroom facilities are not up to snuff.

Monique has a French name and an essential oils business, and that’s two reasons for her to celebrate her birthday in Cannes. No sooner has everyone unpacked and met for a bite, than Ashley is accusing Karen of living in a townhouse instead of the palatial home she entertains in.
