Angela Oakley Says It’s Up to Her Daughter to Tell Her Siblings About Her Marriage
GettyThe “Real Housewives of Atlanta” preview features Oakley’s daughter in the confessional chair. She was asked if she would have been more willing to tell her family, mother included, about the marriage if it had been to a man. She stated that she would have been.
Amari then said, “Maybe in a couple of years I’ll tell them.” Later, the mother-daughter duo could be seen in the Oakley family home, discussing what remains a sore point for them both. Regarding why Amari didn’t tell her mother about getting married, she said, “You were impossible to talk to.”
Oakley responded, “I was with you every day.” Amari stated, “Yes, but I had to hear about all the stuff you were going through. You never see my point of view.” Then, the RHOA star expressed her side, stating that she felt left out of her daughter’s life and saying that she wants to have “one foot in and one foot out.”
From there, Oakley and her daughter continued with their honest conversation in hopes of seeing each other’s sides. At the end of the clip, she referred to her relationship with Amari as “a bit damaged.”
Following the preview, Oakley took to X to share her thoughts.

Per Bravo, she said, “I found out that Ahmauri got married, and it just rocked me to my core. It was very, very hurtful. She’s my best friend, and for her not to want me to know, is hard.” While speaking to her daughter in the episode, which was the fifth of the season, she stated, “It’s something I should know, Ahmaur.”
Oakley added, confirming how long it was before she knew of the marriage, “It was already four months. Four months.” For her part, Amari stated that her having tied the knot shouldn’t be a major deal, saying, “Nothing’s changed.”
The RHOA fan-favorite rebutted, “For you to act like I shouldn’t be hurt, and for you to act like I should just get over it… You’re married. Our communication was broken.”
