Brittany “Brit” Eady opened up about her glam team feud with Kelli Ferrell after Sunday night’s episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
After what appeared to be a whirlwind friendship between the two of them began to unravel, Brit, 37, explained what went down between her and Kelli, 40, as the rest of the cast weighed in, with Porsha Williams, 43, detailing a conversation she had with Kelli in regard to the drama.
“Kelli had introduced me to her glam. I started working with the team. We go to Nashville. She, Kelli, wanted to do matching looks … this is all her idea … it was cute, so I was like, ‘Oh okay,’ so then we get to Nashville, ‘They’re working on her makeup too long. They’re working on her hair too long. Her videos look better.’ She didn’t want me to post any [content],” Brit recalled on the June 15 episode of the RHOA: After Show.
From there, Kelli’s team reportedly reached out to Brit to inform her that Kelli had asked them not to work with her, which took her aback.
“I said, ‘Excuse me? What do you mean?’” she revealed. “They’re like, ‘Look, we love you guys, I know you guys are close, you guys need to talk it out before this gets ugly.’ They came to me.”
Once she learned that Kelli’s team was no longer able to work with her, Brit had lunch with Kelli, where she confronted her castmate about what had been said.
“I said, ‘Kelli, is everything okay? Did you really say that?’ She’s like, ‘I did, but I just was in my feelings. It was a lot going on at the time.’ So me, I was like, ‘Then how can you really be my friend if you’re hating on the background,'” she noted.
Elsewhere on the RHOA: After Show, Cynthia Bailey, 58, said she first learned about the tension between Brit and Kelli during their cast trip to Grenada.
“What came back to me was that Kelli gave the stylist an ultimatum that if he’s doing Brit he can no longer do her, like he had to pick, and Brit was really hurt and she felt like if Kelli wanted to not share the stylist anymore, that could’ve been a conversation,” she explained.
Then, after Drew Sidora, 40, and Angela Oakley, 44, mentioned that Brit and Kelli had been quite close prior to their feud, with Angela describing them as a “package deal,” Phaedra Parks, 51, and Porsha agreed that they seemed like the new “frick and frack.”
“They was at my birthday party … [Brit] went and changed at my birthday party and they came out with a pink matching outfit on at my party and I was like, ‘What is this?’” Porsha remembered, as Brit noted, that the moment was “the start and the fall” of her friendship with Kelli.
Phaedra and Porsha also pointed out that they’ve always shared the same glam team and never had a problem.
“The makeup artist [does] the makeup on Phaedra’s face, that’s Phaedra’s features. These are my features,” Porsha shared.
“And you being a bad b*tch and you being a bad b*tch has nothing to do with each other,” Brit replied of her co-stars.
Porsha then recalled her past discussion with Kelli about her and Brit’s feud.
“I brought it up to Kelli at a private dinner. I was like, ‘Is anything there?’ And she was like, ‘No,’ she was like, ‘I don’t have an issue with her.’ She was like, ‘Honestly, I feel like I should have a conversation with her if there’s anything,’” she revealed.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta season 16 airs Sundays at 8/7c on Bravo.
