Finally! My time on Lemmy has come! For those who do not know, the phrase "Who Gon' Check Me Boo?" was uttered by none other than Sheree Spring-Summer-Winter-Joggers Whitfield, of Real Housewives of Atlanta fame, while arguing with her party planner during the Season 2 premiere in 2009. The phrase temporarily shut down the man's argument, before the conflict then escalated to the point that both were shouting at one another, leading to the iconic vein popping out of Ms. Bone-Collector Whitfield's neck.

(I know that's not the point of this post, but the Bravo communities are the thing I miss the most about the other bad place, so when I see a RH reference, I fucking jump on it)

To think that vein popped because she was promised a helicopter arrival to her party and Anthony didn't deliver. His coworkers coming in the background and shutting the door to the conference room, giving these two the side-eye while they were arguing sent me. The level of delusion this woman had was next level and I just remember sitting there at the time being like "Is this what rich people are like?"

Haha, the fans remembered this from the premiere to the end of season reunion. Andy Cohen brought it up a lot in the comments, lmao. I think we all legit thought we were going to witness this woman literally "pop a vein" on live TV at the time. So fucking campy, I love it.

This made me unreasonably happy for you and I legitimately smiled.

Lmao! Thank you! This is such a sweet comment, and I too love when I can feel someone get super stoked over something "silly" online. Something wholesome about just knowing that a legit person is on the other side of the computer getting happy over something inconsequential, haha.
