Lisa saying people in Miami don't work and that she is an immigrant.

This is the type of stuff that Lisa says and does that makes me think she is a vapid, shallow, moronic wanna-be of a human being. And she is the most popular one!! It's so scary. I live in Miami and yes people work and Miami has a huge poor population b/c a tourist economy is not an ideal one because it doesn't provide white collar jobs. It's really backwards here because of people like her. The people who have money at the top could care less about the rest of the community and aren't even in touch with it. Miami has one of the worst public school systems in the country. But people like her think they can hide from all the ills on their literal islands they live on.

I don't know what being a canadian immigrant has to do with anything either. That was the stupidest thing I have ever heard on TV. I think Joanna is just sick of how stupid Lisa is and her childish meddling ways. What happen to all her "connector" skills at the reunion?

I cannot even tolerate Lisa. Did you see how defensive she got when Alexia asked what her previous jobs were? She kept boasting about how hard she worked and how she was such an immigrant (what a joke) and all Alexia asked was what her previous jobs were and Lisa, as usual, comes back with a defensive, snide remark. I don't get it. This girl is always raving on about how she's so secure with her husband making the money and her being the housewife who does nothing, yet the moment someone says something she can't handle it and has to throw in some antics.

that Canadian immigrant remark was appalling. I too am sick of her pathetic meddling. Stop being the peacemaker, stop trying to be apart of everyone's business because you're so bored with your vapid life.

Did Lisa say she was part Jamaican? Or was I hearing things?

[–] pseudoharpie 10 years ago

She said her mother was jamacian.

I hate it when pleaople say Im not racist my father is.....

What the hell daoes that have to d with anything. What a stupid argument.

To be honest, it wasn't racist of her to mention the ethnicity of a group of women. People are offended by everything. So ridiculous.

Jamaican? What the hell does that mean? Black people are not indigenous to Jamaica. Neither are white people, but lots of white people live on Jamaica. So what are you trying to communicate, Lisa?? If she's trying to make the point that she can't be racist because she herself is mixed-race, then she shouldn't just name a small island - she should say Afro-Caribbean (if she is indeed making the point that she's part-black).

Thanks. I was half listening to the Reunion special and trying to understand the context of what she was discussing. I'll have to catch the re-run on VOD!

[–] temple_drake 10 years ago

Yes, to all you wrote, big_kmc. Immigrant? I spewed my wine. Lisa really needs to get a life. Children enhance a life, they don't make a life, so I think she needs to get her act together before she and Frankenstein procreate.

And since I am being catty, KNOCK OFF THE BOTOX, lady! You look like a wax figure at Madame Tussaud's!

lol. I also agree her comment wasn't racist. Like I said I live here and the cubans completely dominate this city when America is supposed to be a melting pot. Part of how they do it is because they get up in arms like bullies over the most ridiculous things to distract from the fact that they ran out many people that lived here, refuse to learn English and refuse to stop punishing castro and their own people by not allowing the US to lift the embargo especially since it's proven that the number one thing that brings democracy to other countries is through the economy as witnessed with the Soviet Union and eastern block countries. When people say the cubans made Miami it makes me vomit in my mouth, it just goes to show if you say something loud enough and long enough people will believe it. Americans never study history after all. Actually there is a joke that when people say "the cubans made Miami" the punchline is "so YOU'RE the ones!"

The immigrant comment was dumb, but I took the "people in Miami don't work" comment as a joke. Probably as a way to bring up the "Lisa doesn't work" remarks before anyone else did. She also said that people she knows don't work. She wasn't speaking for all or even most of Miami, but Joanna was looking for any reason to rip into Lisa.

Alexia is such a moron. Lisa never called them a "Cuban gang". All three are mean girls who happen to be Cuban. They're ethnicity ("Cuban" isn't a race, stupid Alexia) had nothing to do with it. I guess Nene is intolerant of shorter people because of the Talls vs. Smalls silliness a few seasons ago.

Don't eva let nobody tell you you ain't strong enough
