Sanya Richards-Ross explains her husband Aaron Ross‘ outburst against her Real Housewives of Atlanta co-stars in Jamaica.
After he was seen standing up and telling the women not to “f-ck with [his] wife” amid a dinner party spat, Sanya revealed what triggered him to act out as Kenya Moore revealed why the moment made her sad and Drew Sidora suspected he was more upset with Sheree Whitfield than Kenya.
“I think for him, it was like, he knew how important this trip was to me, how hard I was working. I was very tired. I had lost my phone so I was pissed off.. It was just a lot and the fact that my friends would come on the trip and not just give me some grace, he just wasn’t happy with how Kenya was acting as though I would purposefully not try to make her have a good trip,” Sanya shared on the August 22 episode of the RHOA: After Show.
According to Kenya, she was understanding of Aaron’s efforts to defend Sanya.
“He was taking up for his wife. He saw that she was getting frustrated,” she shared. “He saw that Sheree was not happy, I was not happy at the way she handled the situation with us.”
Although Kenya said that she and her RHOA castmates were talking through their issues as women, she felt that Aaron believed there was “some trickery going on.”
“Being single, already feeling like I was being put on the spot by not having a man there, it made me feel sad for myself,” Kenya said as she spoke of Aaron’s outburst. “I felt like, ‘Wow, I don’t have anyone here to take up for me. I wish I had someone like that on my side taking up for me.”
In their own segment of the RHOA: After Show, Kandi Burruss said she didn’t take any offense to Aaron cursing at the women while Drew felt it “came out of nowhere.”
She also felt it was prompted by Sheree’s shady behavior with Kenya and Sanya.
“Sheree just completely flipped on [Sanya] when Sheree whispered over in Kenya’s ear something about Sanya. And I was sitting at the end of table across from Sheree and Kenya and I saw the moment and I was just like, ‘Your friend?!’ And that’s when Kenya went after Sanya to address whatever Sheree whispered in her ear. So I just felt like Ross was more like, ‘Hold on. This was supposed to be your friend,’” she reasoned. “I just felt like in that moment, he was really standing up because he thought she was better than that.”
Looking back at the moment, Sanya admitted she appreciated Aaron having her back.
“I love my husband, would move mountains for him, but after that moment, when he stood up for me, I was like, ‘I got me a good one,’” she said.
“You better protect him cuz baby them women gonna be after him,” Marlo Hampton replied.
