Two episodes ago, Kenya brought up the subject of cheating partners and suggested Dr. Paul Judge tried to hook up with another woman.

Tanya revealed in an exclusive interview that she has the full story about the night her fiance supposedly flirted with another woman and it doesn't match up to what was portrayed on the show.
She told Too Fab that she was able to get her fiance's side of the story and believed him instead.
She opened up specifically about when she saw the "Cookie Lady" telling Kenya about the situation: "By this time, we had already gone through this whole season, so when you actually see the footage --
"And you see this woman who I kind of thought was a bit of an opportunist...she saw a camera and was like, 'oh my gosh, I wanna tell this story' --
"I was mad because it was like trumped-up exaggeration. Now, I have the full story, and I'm like, 'None of that happened.'"

She continued to slam Shania, the owner of A Haute Cookie in Atlanta: "She's got 'RHOA' in her [Instagram] bio!
"So I was like, okay, this was obviously a really great platform for you to display your business, and I think there's somewhat of a disregard for the real people's lives in there, but it was a great platform that worked for her."
The breath of fresh air, as Tanya has been dubbed by many, also talked about her relationship with Kenya.

She said: "You have to cherish the things that you hold dear, and so when people sort of try to attack those things, it takes a little bit longer for you to forgive that.
"I can forgive a lot of minor infractions, but that, to me, felt a bit across the line."
She also talked about how she didn't regret exposing Kenya for using wigs when she claims her hair is natural.

Tanya assured that she and Paul are doing great despite this small blip.
She said: "We're solid. That's part of the beauty of having a strong foundation on which you can go on reality TV."

Tanya had previously called the rumors that her fiance had cheated on her "fake news."
The Canadian gave her side of the story tonight during the latest episode of Watch What Happens Live and said that it was actually "The Cookie Lady" who tried to hit up her fiance.
She told Andy Cohen: "I was like 'Fake news. Fake news everywhere!'"
When Andy asked if she believed "the cookie lady", Tanya said she didn't.
Tanya continued: "[The cookie lady] tried it. They met out, she tried to give him her number, he threw it away.
"She then tried to slide into his DM's, he never responded. It's fake news!"

These cheating rumors created some issues because Kenya and Tanya are now feuding on and off-camera with Tanya claiming that Kenya only came after her because she didn't like that she was a "breathe of fresh air" among all the drama.
She also agreed with a caller who said during Watch What Happens that Kenya is focusing on the other women's relationships because her own marriage is falling apart.
Kenya and husband Marc Daly are currently going through a divorce after two years of marriage.
