Everything You Need to Know About RHOAs Returning Friend, Monyetta Shaw-Carter – Bravo

The peach holders onThe Real Housewives of Atlantaare officially back for an especially juicy Season 15, and the (flapper) gloves came off during the May 7 premierethanks to a Roaring 20sthemed birthday party.

Watch The Real Housewives of Atlanta on Bravo Sundays at 8/7c and next day on Peacock. Catch up on the Bravo App.

Kandi Burruss, Kenya Moore, Marlo Hampton, Shere Whitfield, Sanya Richards-Ross, and Drew Sidora were back as full-time Wives, and they were joined by returning friend Monyetta Shaw-Carter and new friend Courtney Rhodes.

Though Monyetta, who is connected to the group through her long-standing friendship with Kandi, did appear on the 14th season, viewers are getting to know her like never before on Season 15. Find out everything you need to know about Monyetta by scrolling below!

Monyetta made herRHOAdebut at the tea party Kenya held for daughter Brooklyn Doris Dalys third birthday.

I met Monyetta through Kandi, Kenya said on Season 14, Episode 3. But before that, I knew her as Ne-Yos ex and baby mama.

As Kenya mentioned, Monyetta shares daughter Madilyn Maddie and son Mason with her ex-partner, Ne-Yo.

Monyetta dated the Because of You singer from 2009 to 2013. Following their split, Monyetta createdThe Co-Parenting Planner, and she wroteKeep It Classyabout how to successfully co-parent with an ex.

She also wrote kids books featuring her own children called The Adventures of Maddie and The Chronicles of Nice Guy Maso, and she is the founder ofThe Evan Grace Group.

Monyetta married Heath Carter in 2021, and the spouses have a blended family (Heath has a daughter from a previous relationship).

As viewers saw on the premiere, Monyetta and Kandi are still reeling from a disagreement they got into on Season 14. In case you need a refresher, Monyetta told Marlo that Kandi had questioned why the munty had temporarily kicked her nephews, Michael and William, out of the house. The Xscape singer thought Monyetta was siding with Marlo over her.

I have been knowing my girl Kandi for a very long time, so I did feel some type of way when she thought I was agreeing with Marlo, Monyetta said in an interview on the Season 15 premiere. She knows me, she knows that Im going to try to get both sides of the story. But I didnt like the way that it was perceived at all, and so Im sorry.

Though Kandi and Monyetta seem to be back on track, Monyettas official bio indicates that her close friendship with the Grammy winner could threaten her ability to form friendships with the other women. As the bio reads, Monyetta is trying to be a good friend while navigating the tough waters of being loyal to Kandi while showing the other ladies she can be true to them as well.

As Kenya confirmed on the May 7 episode, Monyetta is responsible for introducing her to the new man in her life, Roi and she got it right.

Monyetta is best friends with this super bachelor named Roi, so she made an introduction, and Im, like, kind of crazy about him, Kenya said on the episode. Hes been very kind to me, hes funny, he makes me feel alive, and hes not bad on the eyes.

Though Monyetta played Cupid for Kenya, she wasnt all about the love connections on the premiere. At Aaron Rossbirthday party, she had some questions for Shere about her new man, Martell Holt.

Monyetta told Shere that she was hearing some things about the Love & Marriage: Huntsville cast member.Shere did appreciate that Monyetta came to her to talk, but she wasnt bothered by the rumors.

However, someone else was bothered, as the premiere ended with Martell exchanging some words with Kenya. Youll have to stay tuned to find out what happens next.

Tea Party participant honored in Marblehead – Itemlive – Daily Item

Boston Tea Party Ship and Museum's Colonial actor Jeffery Bird places a commemorative marker at the gravesite of Boston Tea Party participant Dr. Elisha Story. (Libby O'Neill)

MARBLEHEAD Dozens gathered on a cold and wet Sunday morning at Green Street Cemetery to commemorate Dr. Elisha Story of Marblehead, a known participant in the Boston Tea Party.

2023 marks the 250th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party, the historical event that involved American colonists dumping hundreds of chests of tea into the harbor in protest of being taxed by the British without representation. The Boston Tea Party Ships and Museum (BTPSM) and Revolution 250, an effort made up by various organizations to honor the 250th anniversary of events that led to the American Revolution, have set out to place commemorative markers on every known participants gravesite by Dec. 16, 2023. To date, 121 markers have already been placed.

Of course, ceremonies such as this one are part of these commemorative efforts honoring those who risked everything to take part in an act of protest that would ultimately define a nation, said BTPSM Creative Manager Evan OBrien at the beginning of the ceremony.

Story was born in 1743, and was 30 years old at the time the Tea Party occurred. He became a doctor and a surgeon during the Revolutionary War, and practiced in and around the area of Boston. In 1765, his practice was broken into during the Stamp Act Riots, and he witnessed the testimony of several people during the Boston Massacre Trial.

On November 29, 1773, Story volunteered to guard the Dartmouth as the East India Company tea was entering Boston Harbor.

BTPSM Research Coordinator Kristin Harris said that finding and researching some participants in the Tea Party were challenging, but researching Story was an easier task.

He was a very well-known historical figure and also a very well-to-do person in society so oftentimes people like Dr. Story, its not that hard because they have a decent record, said Harris. Some of our working class people, its very very difficult because they dont have as much.

Many of Storys descendants were in attendance for the commemoration, including Judith Goodwin OLeary, who called the commemoration a special event.

Of course were proud of him, she said.

William Cloutman was another of Storys descendants who attended the commemoration, and said that he feels a sense of pride living in a town with such a rich history.

One of the gentlemen was talking about pride and the town, and I absolutely feel that, said Cloutman. I am so, so proud to be from Marblehead.

After the Tea Party, Story, according to his pension records, served in Capt. Cogswells company, which responded to Lexington and Concord and was supposedly present in the Revolutionary War battles fought in those locations.

Story eventually started his own practice in Marblehead and married Ruth Ruddock, before marrying a second time to Mehitable Pedrick following Ruddocks death. He had 20 children between his two marriages and after an eventful life, Story passed away on August 27, 1805.

Our hope is that these markers will encourage visitors to remember and reflect upon the deeds of the common yet critically important citizens that are responsible for the formative years of our region and our nation, said OBrien.

He thanked Pam Peterson from the Marblehead Historical Commission, Town Historian Don Doliber, the Cemetery Commissions Cathy Kolbiaka, and Eric Berg from the Philanthropic Lodge of Marblehead, where Story was Worshipful Master, for their efforts in making the ceremony possible. Revolution 250 Coordinator Jonathan Lane gave his remarks before the ceremonial marker was placed alongside Storys grave. A gun salute was performed at the end of the commemoration by members of Glovers Regiment.

THE NOTEBOOK: Stuart Pearce’s tea party was a bad omen for West Ham – Daily Mail

A crazy afternoon at Selhurst Park saw more goals than what the home of Crystal Palace has seen in the entire year prior to West Ham's arrival.

Roy Hodgson's interim appointment couldn't have worked better with the club now all but certain of their Premier League survival as they picked up another three valuable three points.

But that wasn't the case for West Ham who's relegation concerns are now becoming a serious and realistic threat for David Moyes and his squad.

The Hammers are just five points above the drop and erratic performances such as Saturday's 4-3 defeat don't inspire much defensive confidence.

Mail Sport's Kieran Gill takes a look at some of the things you may have missed.

STUART PEARCE'S TEA PARTY WAS A BAD OMEN

Though no longer a coach at the club, Stuart Pearce popped into West Hams training ground on Tuesday to host his annual St George's Day tea party on the veranda.

Rather like Ray Winstone leading a knitting circle or Vinnie Jones teaching a class on the art of floristry, it doesnt seem to fit the Psycho persona we know him for. Since then, West Ham have lost twice 2-1 to Liverpool and 4-3 here to Crystal Palace.

Their predicament is much more serious than a storm in a teacup. Theyre still in this Premier League relegation race and looking over their shoulder.

PALACE'S HISTORIC FORMATION CHANGE

Look at Crystal Palace's average player positions from this frantic first half and you could argue Roy Hodgson uses a 2-3-5 formation a system which was known as the Pyramid and popular in the late 1800s.

Hodgson may be the Premier League's oldest manager but he's not that old! Nevertheless, this is part of modern football where players are constantly on the move, rarely sticking to their starting positions.

HOW'S YOUR TOUCH ROY?

He may be 75 but Hodgson cannot resist trying to control a ball dropping from the Gods. His touch in the technical area drew one of the day's loudest cheers, with Crystal Palace's backroom staff giggling behind him.

SOUCEK'S SLIDING RATING

Player ratings are tricky and Tomas Soucek was all over my sliding scale here. First, he scored a goal.Continue like this, Tomas, and youre on your way to an eight.Then, he cost a goal.Oh dear, down to five you go.

Then, he made a goal.OK, now Im lost.Soucek epitomised this up-and-down spectacle. In the end, Soucek received a safe six.

THE STAT THAT HAUNTS WEST HAM FANS

As anyone who has been in Selhurst Parks away end will attest, its cosy, its cramped, its sweaty. You get to know the fans on your left and right better than you would care to.

West Hams supporters went wild when they took the lead, though they should have been mindful of one statistic in particular.

The team scoring first in this fixture had won only one of the last 11 Premier League meetings. We can now make that 12.

RICE'S RECORD MILESTONE

Declan Rice made his 200th Premier League appearance for West Ham here. Aged 24 years and 105 days, he is the ninth youngest to reach this milestone in the Prem and the youngest since Raheem Sterling in 2018.

How many of his next 200 will be for West Ham remains to be seen.
