Season 4; Episode 8: Courtney Harris
*Elle, Kathy, Christina and Tyler are shown taking their seats and touching up their glam*
Elle: Hello hello hello! This is Reality of Roleplay and we’ve got a hustle for you today! I’m Elle Stonewood and I’m feeling absolutely pikalicious today! How are you my gorgeous gorgeous girls?!
Tyler: I’m glad to be back with you girls! I couldn’t make it last week, but I see I was a hot topic. *laughs*
Elle: Yes you were Tyler! You had the streets hot here!
Tyler: I’m glad I could give Monse something real to talk about…real beef not whatever she is use to doing in Beverly Beach. *smiles* Maybe now next season she’ll keep that streak alive!
Kathy: I hated to miss such a beachy episode last week but I am feeling much better and ready to get back into the swing of the last two episodes of our season!
Elle: Jeezus! Well we missed both of you so much!
Christina: I was happy to be off last week! I don’t like either one of those bitches! Plus I forgot Monse was even on the show anymore.
Tyler: I heard that, Christina!
Kathy: I am ready to introduce our guest who is always keeping it hustling! Christina, who do we got today for the show?
Christina: This woman really needs no introduction. She’s quite the force on her show and on the timeline. Ladies and Kathy, please welcome my cousin Courtney Graham to the stage! Oh fuck — I mean Courtney Porter-Harris
*Courtney is seen walking out sashaying…. and here comes Petra walking right behind her*
Petra: Hi ladies! I had a wardrobe malfunction, but nonetheless I am here!
Courtney: The doll is here, and she is ready for her moment!
Kathy: Oh there’s Petra walking out with Courtney! Two for one! *stands up and hugs Courtney* long time no see sister!
Elle: Slayyyy yasss! *stands and applauds* Petra oh yass ok!
Petra: Courtney, honey! *smiles and holds hands as they walk alongside each other*
Courtney: The doll is here, and she is ready for her moment! Plus Christina you know better than to give me an introduction like that, cousin! *hugs each lady and sits* hello hello, thanks for having me I am so happy to be here!!
Christina: *whispers to Tyler* The bitch has changed her name so many times
Kathy: So Courtney, we are excited to have you here and talk about family hustle! First I want to start off by saying congratulations on tying the nuptials, as we see later in the season.
Christina: It’s tying the knot Kathy…
Kathy: Whatever younger people call it, same thing.
Courtney: Well thank you darling! *smiles* the doll is married… again! *chuckles*
Christina: What makes this marriage different than the last?
Courtney: Last time I was young. All I knew was Elijah. Ya know? But now I’m an adult woman with two growing children. I’m thinking about my future. , my babies and making sure they grow up in a healthy home. Calvin has been such a blessing to my life. I could cry now! It’s just amazing. Especially after all I went through in my previous marriage.
Elle: He is so good with the kids too it’s so sweet.
Courtney: He is sooo good!! Sometimes I feel like they kick me to curb for him sis. *laughs*
Tyler: *nods* I can totally relate to that. The second marriage is always better than the first! *laughs*
Kathy: Calvin is such an amazing man Courtney. He definitely brings out the amazing side to you. And he doesn’t come with his mom as well *laughs*
Christina: Speaking of Elijah, what’s your co-parenting relationship like and what will we see of it in the upcoming 4B?
Petra: Ooooh Elijah *rolls eyes*
Courtney: Okay Kathy!! A grown man. Tyler, it’s always better! You know how it goes. *chuckles* co parenting with Elijah is pretty much non existent… it’s sad to say that, but we both know how he is behind the scenes. And because he can’t get his way, he’d rather act like a word that rhymes with Mitch. And I won’t force him. What one man won’t do. A real man will
Petra: PERIOD! *claps* a REAL man!
Elle: Well I’m so sorry to hear that gorgeous but hopefully you two can reach a better agreement soon! Something for the kids you know? Courtney and Petra you ladies go back quite a bit actually and I was just curious if either of you heard the rumors of Married to Medicine: Twitter returning? *shuffles cards* Have either of you heard anything got any calls? *chuckles* Just me being nosy!
Courtney: Hopefully we can… it’s all about my babies. That’s all. *wipes tears and looks at Petra* I’ve been hearing some rumors of a cast reboot or something… I’ll say this, sis won’t ever turndown a check. As long as the terms are right, I’m all in. And Petra has to come with me! No other way. Add Christina to the production and we gotta show honey! I have babies to feed. And inflation is getting bad. Courtney Porter- Harris loves a nice healthy check! *laughs*
Kathy: *laughs* Courtney you’re so unserious! You don’t need the money
Christina: Speaking of Petra, I haven’t really seen her support you with all the things you’ve gone through since announcing your divorce. Are you two still friends for real or is it out of routine?
Courtney: *clears throat* ummm I think Petra and I have always had this relationship where we could not talk for a while and just fall back in line. We actually had a conversation not too long ago. I think we both could work on being there for each more. After married to medicine. We definitely fell off. I can’t lie. But she’s my girl!
Elle: I understand that though I didn’t talk to anyone from Ladies until a year after I was off. Well except Kathy!
Petra: Absolutely, Court. Life is busy, we both have relationships and families. But she knows Ill always have her back like I did on our time on M2M *smiles* its a special bond! Love ya, girl !
Christina: So you’d say you’re closer with the people on your show than Petra now?
Courtney: *glances at Petra and then looks down* Well the people on my show and I are not close either. *laughs* I’ll just say Petra and I are good! We see each other. That’s my sister. *blows kiss at Petra*
Tyler: Sounds like we’ve got ourselves a show! *laughs* Christina, set those cameras up girl. I think there’s always room for more positive community in roleplay. Now Courtney, I do have to ask, I’ve seen some bickering on the timeline between yourself and my friend Tre Spice, what’s the arguing about and what’s the status of your friendship with Tre?
Courtney: My friendship status with Tre is nonexistent. I don’t think we’d ever be friends again and that’s okay. As long as she’s happy with her mall cop husband and her children. I’m happy for her. There’s just too much hurt there Way too much.
Tyler: Not a mall cop! *laughs*
Elle: I am so sad to hear that!
Christina: And all of this is over what happened on the show?
Courtney: Yeah. It’s unfortunate. You’ll see it play out. I thought we’d be in a better place, but a messy bitch never wants to see that. It’s a lot more. Tre has this was of poking behind the scenes and then acting like a victim in public. I’m done playing those games with her kind. She’s too old for that. My mom is 60. Tre is 50. I’m 34. Let that sink in… *busts out laughing*
Tyler: Tre is fifty? *mouthes fifty* Wow.
Elle: Not too old whew.
Christina: I think I need to come back to Twitter and get you two reconciled. We go through this cycle every season and it’s ridiculous
Courtney: We may need you to come! You or Jesus. That’s the only way.
Tyler: Christina a part of the Holy Trinity? *laughs* The Father, The Son, and The Boss & CEO!
Christina: Amen, you got that right Tyler *winks*
Kathy: So my favorite part of the episode is game time! Who’s ready to play? Today’s game is Hustle or Bustle, we will give Courtney a role player and she will tell us if she sees them as apart of her family hustle or if they can bustle onto the next flight to Mama Graham’s house.
Courtney: Come on mama Graham’s house *laughs* I’m ready!!!
Kathy: I’ll go first, Cassie Carlisle!
Courtney: Oouu I love Cassie! She can come on to the family. She’ll hold EVERYONE accountable. Not just certain people. We need that on the show.
Elle: What about the talented Christina J. Phillips!?
Christina: *looks at Courtney* I am ready for this answer.
Courtney: Ohh she is and will forever be apart of the family. I hate she left, but I understand. She’s boss and CEO. And besides, there’s no choice. We got the same blood Chile. Ain’t no running from her. *laughs*
Christina: I’m just glad you’re not mad at the chaos I caused accidentally this season. For the one scene I filmed *laughs*
Courtney: *laughs* oh yes!! Watch for what she does. But I’m glad she did it. All skin folk ain’t kinfolk.
Tyler: What about Harlow Laurier?
Courtney: Harlow? I don’t know who that is. So she can go to mama Graham’s house. *yikes face*
Elle: How about Tamica?
Courtney: *laughs* oh Tamica… she’s my little sister.
Kathy: How about newbie Marcie Maples from RHOBB
Courtney: Marcie seems really pretty. But does she really have any substance on the show? Hmm sounds like mama Graham. Go sit in the house of hell
Christina: Last but not least, Mike Slovain Mall Cop
Courtney: *laughs* okay now, I give Mike a hard time, but Calvin really likes him. And I think Calvin needs another man on this show. Ryan and KP can’t live up to that. So Mike has to stay.
Kathy: That was fun, thank you Courtney for always being blunt and honest!
Christina: And speaking of if Marcie Maples has substance, we’ve got to dish on these episodes of RHOBB. This week, Petra’s employees were scratching each others eyes out yet again. Who would you all say is the MVP of the season?
Courtney: Muva Yvonne, Sheridan, im loving Serena so much. She’s giving fresh energy. And I know it maybe controversial but Jac is serving!
Elle: Nobody, none of them are doing it for me.
Kathy: I think my MVP’s are: Sheridan, Jac, Valentina, and Serena! They all honestly have their big moments this season.
Petra: So, Sheridan and Jac have been duking it out since the halfway point this season. You all saw what went down at the house party, the sit downs, the insults hurled, the Twitter antics…Some of you know them personally. In your opinion, do you think there is a chance at resolve?
Elle: Not at all girl I wish they’d kiss and make up though.
Petra: I agree, Elle. We film the Reunion in a few days. We are hoping for some sort of mending.
Christina: I don’t think there’s a chance. I’m shocked because the energy on the timeline doesn’t match the crimes of the episode.
Kathy: I don’t think there’s room for reconciliation now. I do however think with some time and time away from each other will do their relationship some good.
Tyler: Hmmm…that’s hard. I think Sheridan and Jac have brought a strong feud, though it’s been a bit heavy. And then I do always find Yvonne funny. *turns to Petra* I think they’ll resolve this one day, but I don’t think it will be at the reunion.
Christina: I feel it’s been blown WAY out of proportion.
Petra: Good point Christina, I often wonder if something else we dont know about went down off camera. Because at the end of the day it all seems a bit silly, doesnt it?
Courtney: Wheww I don’t know… I think there’s a lot of unsaid things there. And if they’re not willing to be honest, there’s no reconciliation.
Tyler: I agree with that as well. It seems like they’ve both made a mountain out of a molehill.
Elle: No seriously like I want to know if this is what’s going on because like… what?
Courtney: And I feel like they both are just too stubborn to admit it, but they both have things they could apologize for!
Christina: I think that both of the ladies are sensitive and want the last word. So once Jac starts jabbing, Sheridan can’t help but respond and vice versa. I hope it isn’t driving the other cast members too crazy. *laughs*
Petra: Oh, it is.
Christina: Do you think some cast members will not return even though Jac has confirmed she won’t return?
Courtney: I think a few then need to follow suit. *looks at Petra*
Kathy: I would say it’s an end of an era for a couple of the ladies on Beverly Beach!
Tyler: I think another girl or two could go, *mouthes Monse* but I’m excited to see what’s up next from Beverly Beach!
Petra: I think there will definitely be a cast shake up, I am excited for Season 9…we are in talks with some ladies and I think it will really be taking us back to CLASSIC Beverly Beach!
Elle: Pivoting, Ladies returned this week!
Petra: The Ladies have been on fire this season!!
Courtney: I love this season!
Kathy: Watching this season, makes me miss the girls! This is such a fun, but entertaining season!
Tyler: Yes! Ladies returned and rounded out their trip to the Poconos with lots of yelling. *laughs* What did you girls think of Teairra and Devyn going off on Harlow over their issues with her?
Christina: It was an unnecessary pile on, and who is Devyn to get yelled at by? Just poke her face with your thumb and she’ll deflate.
Kathy: Harlow took a lesson from some of the girls book and decided to stand up on her own two feet!! *claps* It’s about time Harlow!
Tyler: It was nice to see Harlow speak her mind, I don’t think many of the girls heard much from her last season.
Petra: See- I liked Harlow last season. Ive been known, there was something about her Im glad she stood her ground.
Elle: Harlow kinda was dominating that little bit there. She doesn’t work often but when she does she’s always checking!
Tyler: Harlow is so funny to watch! There’s definitely lots more of her this season, she didn’t hold back in the second half.
Petra: Don’t think I forgot when the gyals were hating on her last season… *chuckles*
Elle: I was hating last season because she was as dull as Devyn, but now that they’re both helping one another I’m happy and complimenting!
Courtney: Harlow is… forgettable. *laughs* She does the job though.. I guess.
Kathy: I’ve got a question for the ladies! Based off of Grace’s behavior on the show would you guys willingly hang around her if you weren’t being paid?
Tyler: *puts a cue card over my face* Kathy is so damn shady.
Kathy: Tyler you can pled the fifth or if you want your phone to be blowing up after this you can answer. *smirks*
Petra: I’d do anything if the check was right.
Courtney: Absolutely! Just a cup of coffee on the front porch though. Nothing fancy. She can’t handle that.
Christina: I mean I dislike her.
Elle: I get lunch with Grace from time to time. She’s been pleasant to me since I stopped getting paid to be around her so.. if that says anything.
Kathy: I would be around her if she paid for another girls trip like she did last year. *laughs* I still think she did that as some sort of publicity stunt!
Tyler: She’s been a rollercoaster to watch over the years. What did you all think of her fight with Billie? Who is at fault there?
Petra: She’s made quite the rumble on LoT AND BB this season!
Courtney: Are we talking about me or Grace ? *laughs* I’m joking!
Kathy: Hell that Billie is a mess box too. She don’t know which way the wind is blowing half the time but one thing she does know is how to spot a fake bitch! I think she learned something about Grace when they were close that showed her a different side to Grace.
Tyler: Like Monse and Jac, I think Billie and Grace as friends was a stretch. *laughs*
Petra: I think it was easy to be honest. Billie is making a return and needs and interesting storyline, Grace is just an easy target for a feud.
Christina: Well if there’s nothing else, I have piping tea.
Courtney: Christina with the tea!
Christina: It’s come to my attention that one of the forefront women on Real Housewives of Beverly Beach is moving to the Midwest to be close to her man.
Elle: WHAAAAT?
Kathy: Who is that?
Tyler: Oop, not a move! I hope the D is good to move to the Midwest. *laughs*
Courtney: Ohh gosh. *chuckles* I mean, those sports checks do look good.
Kathy: Well I think this has been quite the episode to start off our week! We’ve got Family Hustle back after their break, Ladies of Twitter back after their break and Real Housewives of Beverly Beach rocking through their stellar Season 8B! We will be back with a full house next week as we close out this season of Reality of Roleplay. *looks to Courtney* and a huge thank you to you sister for coming to the studio to do this with us! You’re always welcome here! *smiles and hugs*
*The ladies wave goodbye as they walk off stage*
Tune in next week for the season finale of Reality of Roleplay! We’ll have all your favorite panelists in the hot seat one last time! Thanks for watching and have a great week! 💜🩷
