NeNe Leakes' Friend Yovanna Goes Off on Eva Marcille

Bravotv.com: How did you feel about Noelle going to college?

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of Atlanta on Peacock and the Bravo App.

Cynthia Bailey: I was excited for Noelle to go away to college until it was time for her to actually go. I knew it would be hard for her, but I had no idea how hard it would be for me. We have been together for 18 years! Noelle has been a part of my world for a very long time. She is my world. I know I have to let her go, however, it’s not going to be easy.

Bravotv.com: What were your first impressions of Dennis?

CB: My first impression of Dennis after meeting him in person was that he seems like a nice guy. I have never seen Porsha like this before. It’s nice to see her so in love and so happy.

Bravotv.com: Were you surprised when Yvonna went off on Eva?

CB: Yes, I was surprised Yovanna went off on Eva, however, I did find it a little odd that they share a best friend in common and Eva does not have any knowledge of her existence. Oh well, I guess it’s pretty safe to assume that Eva knows who Yovanna is now and will not be forgetting her or her yellow dress anytime soon. I know I won’t, LOL!

Bravotv.com: What's it like co-parenting with Leon?

CB: I knew that the moment I found out that I was pregnant by Leon, he was the kind of man that I could parent and co-parent with regardless of whether or not we stayed together in a relationship. We share similar morals and values on how to raise a child. Although things didn’t work out for us as a couple, I will always love him for helping me bring our beautiful, smart, and kind Noelle into the world. He is Noelle’s dad, and he will always be a part of my family.
