‘Don’t Lie Now’: ‘RHOA’ Taglines Revealed, Fans Debate Best One

The “Real Housewives of Atlanta” ladies debuted their new taglines for season 13 and fans are already weighing in on who had the best phrase.

Kandi Burruss used a nod to Southern sweet tea and her name with the line, “A little Kandi always helps sweeten the tea.”

Newcomer Drew Sidora who starred in “The Game,” “Step Up,” and “Sister Code” alongside “RHOA” alum Eva Marcille, referenced her acting career.

“I was in ‘The Game,’ but now? I’m calling all the plays,” she declared.

Kenya Moore kept it sassy with the phrase, “If you don’t like my shade, then step out of my shadow!”

Cynthia Bailey included a sweet mention about her husband, Mike Hill. “I’ve been through the peaks and the valleys and now I’m head over Hills,” the supermodel said.

Porsha Williams used her tagline to bring awareness to the social justice work and protesting she did over the summer for Breonna Taylor in Louisville, Kentucky.

“I may be social distancing, but I’m here for social justice,” the “RHOA” star said. 

Fans were split between Williams’ positive messaging and Moore’s witty clapback.

“Kandi’s is clever. Porsha’s is empowering!” one person said.

Another wrote, “The growth that @porsha4real has shown throughout the series is unparalleled. She really embraced her history & became a powerful social justice advocate.”

“Porsha BY FAR has the best tag line this season and has by far grown the most throughout the years. I’m so happy and proud of her,” a fan tweeted.

As far as Moore’s phrase, one fan tweeted, “Kenya ate. Y’all don’t lie now.”

“I love Kandi’s, but that ‘Step out of my Shadow’ is the juiciest shade from the queen of shade herself,” another said.

One Bravo fan wrote on Twitter, “K.M is just FIRE🔥🔥🔥 with the Mouth GAME💯📽📺🍑”

The jury is still out on who had the best phrase, but needless to say, the women were clever in adding personal touches to this year’s taglines.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
