The Bravo show's fans were also furious with the recently divorced Kenya's seemingly heartless move, calling her behavior calculated and "ugly."

In the cringe-worthy scene from last night's episode, Kenya, Cynthia and Kandi were chatting at the launch for Cynthia's wine bar, The Bailey Wine Cellar.

Kenya said: "I'm telling you I feel like he might propose tonight."

Cynthia, 52, responded: "No, you don't think he's going to do it tonight?

"I don't think he's going to do it tonight."

But Kenya, 48, persisted: "I'm telling you my stomach has butterflies."

She pointed out that Cynthia's fiancé-to-be, Mike Hill, had invited his family to the event.

 Kandi was horrified that Kenya would do this, calling her actions 'not cool!'

A horrified Kandi took Kenya aside scolding her for nearly spoiling the special moment.

She said: "Why would you bring that up to her when you and I are talking on our own?

"That is not cool! Like, why would you do that?"

Earlier at the event, Mike had hinted to Kandi that he was indeed going to pop the question that night.

Later in a confessional Kandi, 43, said, "I give Kenya a little text: 'I think he's going to pop the question.'

"Then all of a sudden she just blurts it out. Like, why? Why would you do that? B***h."

Kenya's slip came as viewers watched the troubles in her own marriage to Marc Daly play out on the show.

The two recently announced their separation.

In the episode, Mike, 49, did eventually get down on one knee to propose to Cynthia.

Despite Kenya's slip, she seemed thrilled when he asked her to marry him, and of course she said yes.

The Fox Sports broadcaster said: "Baby, you have accepted me for my past. You're here for me for my present.

"Now I want you to be my forever."

Afterwards, viewers took to social media shocked that Cynthia's friend would be so shady: “Kenya really ruined Cynthia’s proposal.

"Can’t even lie. I’m a little shocked she’d be this ugly.”

Another added: "Only a miserable person would try to ruin a surprise engagement for their friend.

Kenya did that on purpose."

A viewer also commented: "Don’t tell Kenya anything you don’t want everyone to know."

But Mike's proposal wasn't the only surprise from last night's episode.

When the housewives' gal pal Marlo Hampton arrived at the launch event, she handed Cynthia a heartfelt card from Nene Leakes.

The former friends' ongoing feud has been a major plot point of this season.

The drama, known as "Snakegate," has seen Nene allege that a mutual friend recorded Cynthia blasting her.

So when Cynthia read Nene's emotional message out loud to the group, they were taken aback.

The letter read: "Cynthia, never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine that we would be in this place.

"I've always been a supportive friend towards you, and today won't be any different.

"I'm proud of you and cheering for you from afar. I hope you continue to have the courage to run after your dreams."

Cynthia seemed truly moved by the gesture, wiping tears from her eyes.
