  • RHOBH Recap: Kyle Cries Over Dating Someone Who Disliked Public Scrutiny as She Hints at Morgan Wade Relationship; Dorit Accuses PK of Using Their Kids to Hurt Her and Newbie Amanda Clashes With Erika

    On this episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Kyle introduces us to Amanda, a young mother who purchased Kyle’s Bel Air home. Jennifer Tilly hosts a sip and draw event with a little more than the women bargained for. Kyle’s love life continues to be questioned and Dorit realizes just how much a divorce can impact the lives of her children.

    Rachel is loving her friendship with Bozoma, despite being total opposites.  According to Rachel, Boz is scared of nothing and she is scared of everything.  Take for instance, her “paralyzing” life with her ex.  Now that Rachel has broken free from Rodger, she feels refreshed and less anxious.  

    Rachel explains that early on in their separation, Rodger was photographed cozying up to a mystery woman, much like Mauricio. Rachel is in awe of Rodger’s stupidity in not choosing to hide this side of his life from his children, businesses, etc.  

    When it comes to Kyle’s dating life, Boz and Rachel were surprised to hear that she is not dating. Boz points out that they can be a safe place for Kyle, especially since there is so much speculation about who she is with, but Kyle remains evasive, dodging details and questions like a pro.

    Kyle shares that she did not know Mauricio went from renting a high rise to leasing a house.  This move really seems to put the nail in the coffin for their marriage; however, Kyle is playing nice and visiting the new crib.  She brings Mo some new towels and he addresses his “ho era.”

    Kyle makes it very clear that she is single, but admits that she has dated since the separation.  Unlike Mo, she chose to keep her dating life out of the public eye and to be more discreet.  When it comes to Mo’s choices with PDA, Kyle explains that Dorit feels as though PK was influenced by Mo’s single life.  Mo states that Dorit might have a fantasy of what reality is…

    Considering the history that Erika and Sutton have had after the last five years, it is shocking to see Erika extend an olive branch to Sutton for a fancy facial. They chat about how Sutton seemed to get along with Dorit and it is likely the connection of divorce.  

    Erika opens up about Tom and shares that she is heartbroken. She knows he is going to die in prison and Erika is not sure what to do as closure. Erika wishes he would “die before he would get to prison” and wonders if she should even visit him. All of it has weighed heavily on Erika five years later, as she still has civil cases and wonders if she will ever truly get away from it.

    Jagger, Dorit’s son, has been having a hard time with the divorce.  And so, Dorit’s mother and father have been staying at the house to assist.  There is talk of the children going back to Florida with their grandparents for a visit sans Dorit, since Jagger seems to be the best version of himself around Dorit’s dad.

    Dorit admits that she is not taking care of herself, but how could she? PK has dumped everything in her lap, including finances (PK apparently does not give Dorit any money), and she is trying to be a mom while navigating this extremely difficult and messy divorce.

    Kyle brings her daughter, Alexia, to begin her wedding registry at some fancy shmancy story.  Since Kathy is out of town, Kyle has brought in the assistance of Sutton. The wedding is less than eight weeks away and Kyle is beginning to feel the pressure.

    Kyle speed-tells us about this girl Amanda who bought her BelAir home.  Amanda is ALSO getting married and, shockingly, is ALSO coming to register that very moment.  Amanda enters and chats about how her man “chased her down the street in West Hollywood.”  Amanda claims her husband manifested her, which is interesting since she is known for manifesting…and also as the “money queen.”  I mean, she wrote a book titled Rich as F*ck…

    They chit chat and discuss Jennifer Tilly’s upcoming Boho Chic party and attempt to make it seem natural that Amanda will be joining them for that event.

    Boz visits with her daughter, Lael, and they discuss dating. Lael seems to approve of Boz’s relationship with Keely. She even goes as far as saying she wants Keely to ask her permission to marry her mother should he want to propose. 

    It’s time for Jennifer’s sip and draw party. Jennifer admits that she has a big surprise for the ladies upon their arrival.  When Rachel arrives, Jennifer shares that she is a “little bit in awe” of her and her coolness, but Rachel seems to fit right in. 

    Sutton went ahead and invited Amanda, who is way younger than the rest of the group. Kyle introduces Amanda to Dorit and we learn that Amanda has two step-kids (“I’m raising them”) and two other kids.

    Jennifer leads the women to the easels and brings out her surprise: naked men. The women are absolutely losing it and Sutton has to put her glasses on to really focus.  Amanda does not appreciate Erika shaming her for not drinking and it’s weird since Erika seems cool with Kyle’s lack of boozing.

    The drawings turn out terrible and it is clear that we have no artists in the group.  Post painting, Jennifer talks to the girls about dating.  Kyle is dodging any dating questions, despite all the pictures and rumors. Dorit shares that her “husband is too busy torturing” her and so SHE has yet to go on any date. 

    Dorit goes on to say that PK is denying the travel for her children’s Florida trip solely to be mean.  She then goes on to talk about Jagger, who is asking for HER dad. Sutton is “breathless” watching Dorit crumble and she experiences PTSD because she, too, knows the ugliness of divorce.  Dorit’s kids need love and support and to be around family, but PK will only let them go to Florida if they could stay in a hotel with him. 

    Dorit feels like PK is only doing these things to hurt her and does not appreciate Kyle questioning her thought process.  Boz suggests that Dorit make PK be the bearer of bad news and figures the reality is, he would not be able to take on the entire responsibility of the kids.

    Kyle feels like Dorit responds differently to her than with the others.  But Kyle knows PK personally, whereas the other women have never met him.  How, then, can they make a judgment about PK?!

    Later, Kyle shares with Erika that she is sick of people asking about her dating life.  She has always told people to be honest and claims she is not a liar.  She is truly single, right now, but she WAS seeing someone that she cared about very much. 

    If the person was not afraid of the public scrutiny, maybe they would still be together. Kyle was in a very vulnerable place and she fell hard for this person, but this person wanted nothing to do with the publicity and limelight…which is why Kyle remained so coy about it at the time…

    Based on all the evidence, Kyle appears to be talking about her rumored girlfriend, singer Morgan Wade, whom she was just spotted with in October despite stating they have split. 

    “Since separating from Mo, I was in a relationship. I was at a very vulnerable place in my life and I fell hard for this person,” shared Kyle in her confessional. “You know, I’m in love with somebody, I want to share that. I don’t care, I’m an open person like hat. But that doesn’t mean that the person I’m with feels he same way.”

    Kyle added, “All the speculation and the gossip and the talking is what ultimately ended it. I could have weathered the storm but this not for everyone.”

    Kyle Richards cries to Erika Jayne over having to keep her past relationship a secret

    Erika lets Kyle know that she has been as forthcoming as she could be.  Unexpectedly falling in love with someone and not being able to talk about them is very difficult.  Erika realizes that the women are not going to get over it until Kyle addresses it for once and for all.  Kyle is absolutely in a rock and a hard place…

  • RHOBH’s Erika Jayne Reacts to Garcelle Saying She’d Return If She Was Fired, Admits Lisa Vanderpump and Camille Are “Dead to [Her]”

    Credit: Instagram

    Erika Jayne offered a response to Garcelle Beauvais saying she’d return to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills if she were fired while attending BravoCon last weekend.

    As she and Bozoma “Boz” Saint John, 48, teased what is to come on the upcoming 15th season, Erika, 54, shaded Lisa Vanderpump, 65, and Camille Grammer, 57, and reacted to claims Garcelle, 58, made against her on an episode of Watch What Happens Live last month.

    “Okay. That’s my opinion. Yeah, it’s fine,” Erika replied when Decider asked her about Garcelle’s comment at BravoCon. 

    Meanwhile, Boz admitted to wishing they could’ve worked things out with Garcelle prior to her sudden exit from the season 14 reunion.

    “I would hope that we would all be able to talk things through and to be able to really dissect conflict. I believe in resolution always, and it doesn’t work if the person isn’t there to do it,” she noted. 

    As for whether she’d welcome Garcelle back to RHOBH, Erika noted, “It’s not my decision,” as Boz said “a conversation would be necessary.”

    Regarding season 15, Boz said there “are a lot of us.”

    “A lot of opinions,” Erika replied. “A lot of talking. And sometimes I don’t know what about.

    Also at BravoCon, Erika appeared on the November 18 episode of BravoCon Live with Andy Cohen, where she was asked if she’d rather have Lisa or Camille return to the show. And, after a brief pause, Erika didn’t mince words.

    “They’re both dead to me,” she stated, via Bravo’s The Daily Dish.

    While fans have called for the returns of both women in recent years, Erika isn’t interested. And, if both women are sticking to their guns, neither will be returning anytime soon. In fact, during her own interview with Jerry O’Connell, 51, at BravoCon, Lisa said, point-blank, “I’m not going back.”

    “I did that. I did that for 10 years, and that was so many years ago. I’ve moved on, and hopefully, so have they,” she stated. 

    “I wish them well,” she added. “I don’t really have a relationship with them for sure, but my life is extraordinarily busy, and I personally don’t have any time for negativity.”

  • Erika Jayne’s Attorney Accused of Stealing COVID Relief Money to Fund Her Lifestyle and Stalling Designer’s $18 Million Case Against the RHOBH Star

    Credit: Rich Polk/Bravo

    Erika Jayne‘s friend and attorney, James Wilkes, is being accused of stealing millions of dollars in COVID-19 relief funds from the United States government in an effort to fund her lavish lifestyle.

    Two years after designer Christopher Psaila, of the Marco Marco fashion house, filed an $18 million lawsuit against the 54-year-old Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, accusing her of conspiracy and malicious prosecution, the same man is suing James, claiming he was the “mastermind of a conspiracy” behind an alleged plot to delay and derail his initial case against Erika.

    According to a November 17 report from Radar Online, Christopher believes James scammed the government out of money meant for those in need by being dishonest about the number of employees he had on payroll.

    As Christopher explained, James falsely “represented to the PPP that his firm had 40 full-time positions more than it actually had.”

    “The source of the funds that Wilkes used to pay, invest in, or loan Erika Jayne and her team, and to pay attorneys to defend Erika Jayne and team in other lawsuits, were two Covid loans from the Paycheck Protection Program (‘PPP Loans’) in the amounts of $2,393,079 and $2,000,000,” the federal lawsuit explained. “The U.S. Small Business Administration forgave both of these loans, which were meant for salaries for employees who would otherwise be laid off due to the COVID-19 pandemic.”

    As RHOBH fans may recall, Christopher faced fraud charges after he was accused of making $800,000 in fraudulent charges to Erika’s American Express card between 2014 and 2016, and his business was raided the following year. And while the charges against him were eventually found to be false and dropped, he said the allegations caused him to lose “tens of millions of dollars.” He ultimately sued Erika and two former Secret Service agents.

    “Any investigation at all, or review of the evidence seized in January 2017, would have uncovered that Marco Marco and Psaila had documented proof that all costumes and services had been supplied to [Jayne], that all the charges were authorized, and that no fraud occurred,” his case stated.

  • ‘RHOBH’ Star Dorit Kemsley Discusses Erika Jayne “[Losing] It” on Her, Ups and Downs With Kyle Richards, and Co-Parenting With PK Amid Divorce, Plus Update on Boz Saint-John Friendship

    Credit: Trae Patton/Bravo

    Dorit Kemsley opened up about her drama with Erika Jayne and Kyle Richards during a panel at BravoCon on Friday.

    Weeks before the premiere of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 15, Dorit, 49, recalled Erika, 54, “[losing] it” on her, spoke of her ups and downs with Kyle, 56, and admitted that co-parenting with her estranged husband, Paul “PK” Kemsley, 57, has been “challenging” while also speaking of her other show relationships and friendship with Bozoma “Boz” Saint John, 48.

    “It came out of left field. It was very surprising. Shocking,” Dorit admitted of her spat with Erika in a clip shared by Us Weekly.

    “I love Dorit. I lost it on Dorit. That’s the way it happened,” Erika explained.

    As for Kyle, she told Us Weekly that her and Dorit’s tension was “sad,” since they “love and care about each other,” and admitted to feeling that their respective splits from Mauricio Umansky, 55, and PK added strain to their relationship.

    “We both went through a very difficult time, which I think made it difficult to move forward,” she shared. “And then coming into this season, we were able to make progress, which was great, and then we made three steps forward and maybe four steps back.”

    “Would you agree with that assessment?” she then asked Dorit.

    “I don’t know that I would agree with going through a difficult time and making it difficult to move forward. I thought we were moving forward. In fact, I thought at the reunion that we had moved forward,” she replied.

    According to Kyle, she felt that they were in a “good place” at a certain point.

    “Definitely. I would agree with that. But it didn’t really turn out to be that way,” Dorit noted.

    As she navigated her drama with her RHOBH castmates, Dorit was also faced with drama from her ex.

    “It’s challenging,” she told Us Weekly of co-parenting her two kids, Jagger, 11, and Phoenix, 9, with PK. “I’m hoping that things will sort of straighten out because I think that that’s really important. We need to be able to prioritize our children, and I’m hoping that at some point things will become a little bit less challenging.”

    During another interview, with Chanel Ayan, 47, for Bravo, Dorit said she and PK were “still going through a divorce” and noted that while she and Kyle “were” doing better during season 15, they’re currently “working through [their] issues” in hopes of getting to a “better place.

    As for who she was close with amid production, Dorit named newbie Rachel Zoe, 54.

    “I love Rachel Zoe. Absolutely love her. In fact, I say this and I stand by it, two of the greatest casting choices in Beverly Hills ever, ever, in the history of Beverly Hills? Boz and Rachel,” she declared.

    “Boz and I have a very close relationship. I love her with my heart and soul,” she added.

    Also speaking to Ayan, Dorit confirmed she’s still smoking.

    “Yes, I am. In fact, probably now more than ever,” she stated.

  • VIDEO: See RHOBH Season 15 Trailer! Kyle Seemingly Admits She’s Bisexual as Dorit Meets With Mauricio! Plus Jennifer Accuses Sutton of Being Selfish, Erika & Dorit Feud, Denise Admits She’s “Afraid” of Aaron, & Rachel Zoe and Amanda Frances Join Cast

    Kyle Richards seems to confirm that she’s into both men and women in the just-released trailer for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 15.

    As Dorit Kemsley, 49, and Mauricio Umansky, 55, are seen at a restaurant, Erika Jayne, 54, goes public with her new boyfriend, John “Shrek” McPhee, and Denise Richards, 54, admits she’s afraid of Aaron Phypers, 53, newbies Rachel Zoe, 54, and Amanda Frances are introduced to the group, Sutton Stracke, 54, butts heads with Jennifer Tilly, 67, and Bozoma “Boz” Saint John, 48, questions Kyle, 56, about her personal life.

    “Look, I’m a girls’ girl. But in order to be friends, I want to know the information so that I can also be helpful,” Boz tells Kyle as the clip begins.

    “Well, why don’t you ask what you really want to ask: I could go Brad; I could go Angelina,” Kyle replies.

    Boz then tells her co-star, “I have to know what you want,” and Kyle says, “Someone who likes sex.”

    During another moment, Kyle opens up about her ongoing estrangement from Mauricio.

    “You need to go out there and do whatever makes you happy,” Erika tells her.

    “I’m trying,” Kyle replies as she’s later seen having a tear wiped away by Mau.

    Another relationship in turmoil is that of Dorit and Paul “PK” Kemsley, 58.

    “He’s never [texted] me once asking to see the kids,” Dorit tells Mauricio during an outing at a restaurant.

    “I’m hearing different stories,” Mau replies.

    With her castmates struggling to work through the ends of their marriages, Erika is enjoying the start of her new romance as she makes it “official” with her boyfriend.

    “That was a hard launch,” Kyle declares after John is seen on a FaceTime call.

    Erika is then seen sitting down with Denise.

    “How could you release pictures of your wife naked?” Denise wonders.

    “Are you afraid?” Erika replies.

    “Yeah,” Denise, whose estranged husband has been accused of abuse, confirms. “Very.”

    While Kyle high-fives Dorit in one scene, all isn’t well between them, as they are later seen engaging in a tense moment during dinner with their castmates.

    “You’re lying. And you know what doesn’t lie? The cameras,” Kyle declares.

    Meanwhile, speaking to Kathy Hilton, 66, Dorit says, “Those days of me sitting there, grinning and bearing it, swallowing it, taking it, those days are f*cking over.”

    Kyle and Dorit are also seen with Erika, who appears to be trying to intervene.

    “I’m not gonna stop talking,” Erika tells Dorit.

    But Dorit isn’t interested in what Erika has to say and storms off, telling her co-stars, “Go f*ck yourselves.”

    As Rachel makes her grand entrance into the group, she reminds viewers, “My name’s Rachel Zoe. You may or may not remember me from Bravo because I’ve lived here before.”

    She then accuses someone of being “fake” and playing “both sides” before a scene shows her crying about her failed attempt at a “hot girl summer.”

    During their cast trip to Florence, Italy, the group is introduced to Amanda, whom Sutton immediately welcomes.

    “To Amanda, our new friend,” she announces amid a meal.

    “And Rachel’s our new friend, too,” Boz notes.

    “She’s been here a minute, though. I’m new-new,” Amanda fires back.

    Although Sutton seems to take a liking to Amanda, not everyone else does. 

    “Something’s off with this girl,” Erika suspects.

    And Boz later tells the newbie, “You are not being clear about your life.”

    Once back home, during a chat with her partner, Amanda suspects that one of the women is intimidated by her “because I’m young and successful and I’m not financially dependent on a man, and she outsourced her financial well-being to a man and it didn’t go well.”

    Elsewhere in the trailer, Rachel confirms her divorce from Rodger Berman to her two sons, Skyler, 14, and Kaius, 11, Boz undergoes surgery and seems to get bad news, and drama erupts between Sutton and Jennifer.

    “That’s why Garcelle left: Because it’s always all about Sutton,” Jennifer declares, signaling Garcelle Beauvais, 58, and her March exit from the series.

  • ‘RHONY’ Alum Luann de Lesseps Dishes on Past Romance With MLB’s Keith Hernandez, Body Count, and Potential Bravo Return, Plus Talks Carole Radziwill and Wendy & Erika’s Legal Drama

    Credit: lev radin / Shutterstock.com

    Luann de Lesseps confirmed a past romance with MLB great Keith Hernandez and spoke of her body count on a podcast on Wednesday.

    As she addressed her potential return to The Real Housewives of New York City, a possible 16th season with Carole Radziwill, 62, and the legal drama of Wendy Osefo, 41, and Erika Jayne, 54, Luann looked back on her alleged hookup with Joe Bradley, 29, and said that when it came to her sexual partners, she hadn’t had “a lot.”

    “I’m more of a relationship person … I used to date Keith Hernandez, who was a Mets player,” Luann, 60, explained on the October 29 episode of The Sarah Fraser Show.

    “I met him when he was the star of the Mets. I didn’t even know who he was. I met him out, and then we walked out of the restaurant, and people were asking for his autograph back then. So I was like, ‘Are you famous?’ And he was so thrilled that I didn’t know he was famous,” she continued. 

    Following her romance with Keith, Luann moved to Europe and met her ex-husband, Count Alexandre de Lesseps, 76.

    “Not many boyfriends. I’m really a hopeless romantic in so many ways … But you know what I love is the game. That’s why you see me play the game on the Love Hotel; I love the chase,” she explained.

    As for her body count, Luann said it was “less than probably 25,” before adding that it may be “less than 20.”

    Regarding the potential return of herself and other OGs of RHONY, Luann admitted to thinking there was a chance of “something happening.”

    “I’m not sure quite what. Maybe an iteration of Housewives. But I don’t know,” she shared. 

    As for Ramona Singer, 68, being included, Luann also wasn’t sure.

    “I think that there’s so many moments where Housewives get in trouble, and then they kind of resurrect them,” she reasoned. “Look at Carole Radziwill, she just came back on [Watch What Happens Live].”

    After asking, “Who knows,” when the idea of Carole’s surprise return to RHONY was mentioned, Luann offered an update on where the two of them stand.

    “I don’t mind Carole anymore. I mean, I had my moment with her. I would be surprised if she came back to the show, but I love that [Andy Cohen] brought her on to just kind of make amends because I know there was kind of a falling out,” she explained. “There was a whole moment of Carole and Andy not getting along.”

    Moving on to Wendy, who was arrested for fraud earlier this month, Luann recalled appearing alongside her on Project Runway.

    “Wendy was on that … [But] I don’t know her well,” she explained.

    Luann then suggested that when it came to Bravo shows, scandal was essential.

    “[There’s a] Housewives scandal and then, you know, there’s another TV show, another book. So I think scandal is, you know, is really very intrinsic,” she reasoned.

    She then took aim at Erika, who has been accused of spending money meant for clients of her now-estranged husband Thomas Girardi‘s law firm.

    “These are victims that have been stolen from. I can’t think of anything worse. I mean, stealing from the government? Sure. I mean, that, well, it’s not okay, but it’s not stealing from people that have been injured in accidents,” she stated.

    Luann was then asked if anyone in the Bravo universe had caught her attention for a potential makeout session.

    “Maybe Southern Hospitality,” she replied before signaling her past with Joe.

    “[I] love Joe Bradley. He’s a hottie,” she gushed. “He’s got that Elvis kind of quality.”

    According to Luann, she needs a confident man.

    “I’m a lot,” she shared. “You have to be confident and cool. Passion is the key.”

    As for whether they hooked up, Luann wouldn’t confirm or deny.

    “We know that [his then-girlfriend Danielle Olivera] tracked him at my apartment, but I had other people here,” she insisted.

    Luann de Lesseps appeared on The Real Housewives of New York City in a full-time role on seasons one through five and seven through 13.

  • ‘RHONY’ Alum Luann de Lesseps Slams Erika Jayne as “Rudest” Bravolebrity, Calls Her a “B*tch” and Says Dorit Kemsley is “Not the Nicest” Either

    Credit: Instagram

    Luann de Lesseps took aim at The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills stars Erika Jayne and Dorit Kemsley during one of her recent cabaret shows.

    While on stage, taking questions from her live audience, the 60-year-old Real Housewives of New York City alum was asked about which Bravolebrity had been the rudest to her. And she didn’t hesitate to name Erika, 54, slamming her as a “b*tch” before giving a nod to the apparently also not nice Dorit, 49.

    “Out of everyone in the Bravo universe … who has been the rudest to you?” the fan asked, noting that they were headed to BravoCon later this year.

    “Oh, by far, Erika Jayne. B*tch,” Luann replied.

    Then, she added, “Oh, wait, and Dorit is not the nicest person either.”

    But she wouldn’t share details about her past interactions with Erika or Dorit.

    “We love them but … Some people have, you know, are nice, and some people are not so nice. It’s just how it goes,” Luann concluded.

    Luann isn’t the first person to label Erika or Dorit as rude. In fact, there have been numerous incidents involving the RHOBH cast members.

    In 2017, Erika was accused of being rude to fans at a music festival, and in 2022, Heather Dubrow, 56, said on a BravoCon panel that Erika hadn’t been kind during a run-in.

    When Emily Simpson, 49, asked Heather if someone had been rude, Heather replied, “Well, I got in the van the other night after the Legends Ball and Erika Jayne kinda … I said ‘Hi!’ and she went [makes stinky face].”

    Meanwhile, back in 2018, after Dorit called her a “c*nt,” Camille Grammer, 57, lashed out at Dorit in a Bravo blog, slamming her behavior and wondering if she was aiming to be “rude, controversial, or stupid.” Years later, in 2023, Erin Lichy, 38, said that an encounter with Dorit left her thinking she could have been “friendlier,” and she described her as having “you can’t sit with us” energy during an interview with Page Six.

  • RHOBH’s Kyle Richards Explains Dorit Kemsley’s Absence in ‘Fox Force Five’ Pic at Alexia’s Wedding, Plus Alexia Reacts to Sweet Moment Between Kyle & Mauricio

    Kyle Richards addressed Dorit Kemsley’s absence in her daughter Alexia Umansky’s wedding photo. Meanwhile, Alexia reacted to her parents’ sweet moment as she danced with the groom, Jake Zingerman.

    Kyle has been separated from Alexia’s dad Mauricio Umansky since 2023. For several years, fans have questioned if the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star will file for divorce. Last season, Kyle feuded with Dorit, who is also separated from her own husband, PK Kemsley. Recently, however, Kyle and Dorit seemed to be in a better place.

    On a September 8 Instagram post, Kyle shared a photo of herself with RHOBH castmates Lisa Rinna, Teddi Mellencamp and Erika Jayne at the September 6 wedding.

    “Celebrating love & life without a single table being flipped, nor a glass of wine tossed,” wrote Kyle in the caption.

    In the comments, a fan questioned, “Where is [Dorit?]”

    Kyle soon responded, “She was there & so was Sutton … [they] just missed the photo.”

    Around the same time, Alexia posted a TikTok of herself dancing with the groom. A user then shared a screenshot of Kyle and Mauricio smiling as they met each other’s eyes.

    “And then there is this,” said the user. Alexia responded, “Crying.”

    Last year, Kyle addressed their engagement in an interview with Parade.

    “I’m very excited. They’re just the sweetest couple. They’re definitely soulmates. They’ve been best friends since second or third grade and they’re just so sweet together. And I’m so grateful I’m going to have a son-in-law. I can’t believe it,” she said at the time, via Us Weekly. “He asked my permission. And then he had me help him through the process of picking the ring. And he was so cute, including me. I went with him to many different places to look, and it was just so sweet that he included me in that whole process.”

    Back in February, Kyle revealed her status with Mauricio.

    “We still have not filed for divorce or anything but … we have had more conversations about, ‘What should we do, should I still live where I’m living, should we sell the house and each go buy two new homes, or do we keep the house because it is such a special property and just each go our different ways,’” she explained on RHOBH After Show. “We’re discussing those things now, which we did not before.”

    Kyle Richards confirmed on Amazon Live on Tuesday that she still hasn’t officially returned to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

    While addressing a number of Bravo-related rumors, including an ultimatum she allegedly was dealt, and sharing her thoughts on her past and present co-stars, Kyle, 55, confirmed if she is in contact with Dorit Kemsley, 47, and revealed which one-season wonders she felt deserved a second season.

    During an April 30 appearance on Amazon Live, after being asked about her potential return for season 14, Kyle stated, “I can’t confirm that right now.”

    As for claims of Chelsea Handler, 49, joining the show, which the comedian has denied, Kyle added, “There’s always so many rumors. I really don’t believe that one at all. I would not hold your breath for that one.”

    Last month, with the season 14 cast remaining up in the air, it was alleged by the Daily Mail that Kyle had been dealt with an ultimatum from producers: Either showcase what’s really going on with Morgan Wade, 29, or be fired.

    “I don’t even know what I’m doing yet, guys, so that can’t be true,” Kyle said of the report.

    Looking back at her past and present castmates, Kyle said longtime family friend Faye Resnick, 66, has been asked to return.

    “Faye was a cast member, and then I think they asked her again, and she said no,” she shared.

    For Kyle, it’s hard to say which season had the best cast. However, she did give a nod to the group from season one, which included Lisa Vanderpump, 63, Adrienne Maloof, 62, Kim Richards, 59, Camille Grammer, 55, and Taylor Armstrong, 52.

    “The original cast was amazing … we’ve had so many great people,” she stated.

    At the conclusion of RHOBH season 13 earlier this year, Kyle and Dorit’s friendship was strained. And still, months later, they remain estranged.

    “I haven’t seen her or spoken to her actually,” Kyle confirmed.

    As for who she’s had the most contact with since filming wrapped, Kyle said, “I would say [Sutton Stracke] and [Erika Jayne].”

    On the heels of the exits of Annemarie Wiley, 41, and Crystal Kung-Minkoff, 41, Kyle was asked who was most deserving of a second season.

    “[Diana Jenkins] and Annemarie,” she replied. “I really liked [Kathyrn Edwards], Diana, and Annemarie. I don’t know, I would’ve liked to see more of them.”

    She then addressed her acting career, saying she’s been “taking a break.”

    “You know what’s funny, I just had a movie come out recently, and I never even watched it,” she added.

  • RHOBH Reunion Part 3: Kyle Admits She Was Curious to Kiss “Hot” Morgan for Music Video & Clarifies Their Relationship as She Talks Losing Trust in Mauricio, Plus Kathy Reflects on Mauricio’s Exit from Hilton & Hyland and Sutton Falls Ill

    RHOBH Reunion Part 3: Kyle Admits She Was Curious to Kiss “Hot” Morgan for Music Video & Clarifies Their Relationship as She Talks Losing Trust in Mauricio, Plus Kathy Reflects on Mauricio’s Exit from Hilton & Hyland and Sutton Falls Ill

    Of course it takes until the conclusion of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion to even touch the Kyle/Morgan of it all.  Andy does his best trying to get answers out of Kyle, but she does a good job of dancing around the question because, according to her, “it’s nobody’s f*cking business.”  Kyle would much rather go back and forth with Sutton…that is until Sutton has a medical emergency seemingly caused by Kathy Hilton‘s presence? Sutton states that something scared her…leaving all of us to wonder is *she* afraid of Kathy?

    Things between Kyle and Sutton are still unsettled, particularly after Kyle insinuated Sutton has a drinking problem and an eating disorder. Sutton claims that Kyle has given mean jabs at her over the course of the season and of course Kyle spins it and tries to defend her unkind actions towards Sutton. Kyle calls it hurtful that Sutton “grilled” her about her marriage at her dinner party.  When Andy asks if there could be a resolution with the ladies, Sutton says that she believes they will eventually be ok.  Kyle gives Sutton two hugs to show that they are all good, even after going after each other for two episodes of the reunion.

    The group awaits Kathy’s arrival and Kyle looks more nervous than ever.  As Kathy enters, Andy calls her the “Grande Dame of Beverly Hills…not Lisa Vanderpump.”  The shade.  Kathy is back on the couch, crystal in tow, thanks to Kyle.  Kyle and Kathy have made amends and so, she is there to support Kyle, despite not watching a full episode of the show this season.

    Erika gets questioned about her statement that some women in the group fear Kathy since she holds the key to many things in Beverly Hills.  Erika admits that Kathy IS Beverly Hills and Andy probes Erika by asking, “who do you think is most afraid of her in this group?”

    At that moment, Sutton falls into Garcelle and begins shaking. A paramedic comes to the scene and Sutton is told that her blood pressure is high.  Annemarie jumps to action, thrilled to have the opportunity to show off her medical background once more.  As Sutton receives care, Erika chit-chats with Kathy about how she’s been (which looks slightly insensitive, but I am not surprised) and Kathy thinks Sutton is just experiencing a hot flash: “Sutton you’re 49 years old, it’s bound to happen,” which sort of diminishes the issue at hand.

    Sutton gets walked off (with her bestie Garcelle) to seek some medical attention and Annemarie is just SO happy to move closer on the couch now that Garcelle and Sutton are gone. Kathy thinks it’s a good way of getting out of being in the hot seat, considering she was going to go after Sutton next.

    The show must go on and so Andy picks up right where he left off.  Erika explains that Kathy is a powerful person, but Kathy states that her relationship with Kyle is more important than any show. A little business talk ensues, making Kyle incredibly uncomfortable when the Agency gets brought up.  Mauricio starting his own business has caused some tension between the families, particularly when he poached agents from Hilton & Hyland. Kyle tries to stay out of this conversation to try and not make matters worse.

    Andy gets a text that Sutton is heading to the hospital and Garcelle is going with her. Andy excuses himself to grab their phones and Merce’s ashes…yes, you read that correctly…Merce is IN the purse.

    When asked about how and when Kyle and Kathy made up, we learn that Kim’s daughter had a bridal shower and it served as a reunion. Regarding anything she has said about Kathy on the show in anger, Kyle warned her that it was coming and so Kathy was able to keep her sensitivity in check.  Not really sure why we are witnessing this borderline therapy session between the sisters, but alas, it’s nice to see them get back on track.

    In other news this year, we saw Kyle’s marriage crumble. The producers did a great job highlighting their past, showing us how solid they seemed.  It’s hard to watch, but Andy asks Kyle outright when things started to get hard in their marriage. Kyle explains that some issues never went away and that something DID happen where she did lose her trust in Mo.  Dorit nods when Andy asks if it’s something that Mo did (how very Dorit of her- some friend).  Kyle explains that she had a breaking point and thought it was just a temporary thing, except they did not come back together after 28 years.

    Since 2013, there have been rumors swirling about Mo’s infidelity and the whispers became too loud for Kyle. She became insecure and when Mo went on Dancing with the Stars, it was obvious that Kyle had little say in his life choices.  Kyle admits that if Mo got this opportunity years ago, she would have been too jealous for him to be on the show. Although Kyle and Mauricio are separated and allowed to do what they want, it hurt her to see pictures surface of Mo holding hands with his DWTS partner.  Like Ariana and Sandoval, Kyle and Mo are still living together in the same house, so it does tend to get awkward. There have been conversations about Mo moving out and the kids have been strong and supportive throughout.

    According to Kyle, Morgan didn’t realize the attention she would get being on the show (I smell BS). The speculations about the two of them being together have been everywhere, but Kyle remains poker faced.  Crystal admits that she thought Kyle was with Morgan and Dorit explains that the amount of Instagram pictures together made them look like girlfriends.  Notice Erika stays mute. Annemarie tries to back away from what she said that Kyle has found someone that makes her feel loved and Garcelle pointed out that it’s seems like it’s a personal thing to go to the doctor’s office with someone, like Morgan did with Kyle.

    Crystal wonders about the music video Kyle did with Morgan.  Kyle tries to explain that Morgan agreed to perform at Lorene’s event so long as Kyle would be in one of Morgan’s music videos. Kyle claims that she didn’t know the content of the video (didn’t know she would be kissing Morgan) and admits that she was “obviously curious in order to say yes” to the actions filmed.  Kathy tells Kyle not to be embarrassed and Kyle admits to Morgan being “hot.”

    Kyle hesitates to answer the million-dollar-question and tells Andy that they are, in fact, not a couple, but she says she loves her and she’s her friend. Kathy thinks that Morgan is funny and refreshing, as well as talented. Kyle states that she “doesn’t know” if she can see herself with Morgan and gives Andy eyes like he better STFU.  Kyle talks about evolving and Andy says, “maybe next year she will be out here on the couch” with us. And I am scared to say I couldn’t tell if he was joking…

    It’s odd not to have Garcelle or Sutton (and Merce) there at the end of the reunion.  Andy does his thing and asks each woman for their final reflection after the season.  Annemarie admits she had a “rough ride” and she will focus on happiness and health.  Crystal says her voice matters and Erika smiles coyly saying she’s ok, even after all the hardships. Kathy is glad to be next to Kyle and respects the “sisterhood” of the group.

    Dorit responds long-windedly, causing Andy to yawn yet again, eventually saying that she needs to be less naïve. Kyle explains she may have lost what she thought was her happily ever after, but she WILL get back to a happily ever after…whatever that means.

    It ends on an optimistic note and Kyle exhales, seemingly relieved to be out of the hot seat.  We learn that Sutton had a brief ER stay, but is on the mend and that although Kyle and Mo are still under the same roof, Kyle has gone to Nashville to see Morgan.  Looks like social media will be our best bet of staying in the loop of this non-relationship until next season…

    Erika Jayne is addressing the romance rumors involving Kyle Richards and Morgan Wade, plus Kyle and Dorit Kemsley‘s feud, and whether Kyle was “eviscerated” at the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion.

    In the reunion’s first two episodes, Erika was awkwardly seated between her two friends Kyle and Dorit – who were fighting continuously. Throughout the arguments, Erika looked as if she wanted to disappear.

    In an interview with ET, Erika first discussed her lack of involvement in Kyle and Dorit’s drama.

    “I sat back and let everybody else talk,” she explained. “I was just like, ‘Yeah, you guys go right ahead’ … Listen, after the last two years, I’m so golden. It was like a dream.”

    Unlike Dorit’s suggestions at the reunion, Erika said she doesn’t feel that Kyle is a punisher or manipulative, “but I’m not in their relationship.”

    “I can only speak from where I see it,” Erika shared. “Dorit needs to — you can watch.”

    She then addressed her controversial remark about seemingly wanting Andy Cohen to eviscerate Kyle and the cast at the reunion – like Erika was eviscerated in past reunions.

    “You know what? I did not ask for her to be eviscerated,” she expressed. “I said I was eviscerated. So, my question was more towards Andy like, ‘Hey, you really put pressure on me these last two years. You’re gonna do it to her, too, because this is all we’ve heard about.’”

    But did Kyle’s answers about her marriage satisfy the cast?

    “I don’t know … I think you’re gonna have to read it on their faces,” she answered. “It depends on what lens you’re looking from … Those who say, you know what? It’s between she and Mauricio, it’s really none of our business and those who say, no, I want more because you brought this other person into the story,”

    “So I don’t really know. I can speak for myself, which is, I’m friends with Kyle. Whatever she wants to tell me is great,” she added. “It’s not my marriage and I’m going to be friends with her whether she’s married, divorced, separated or whatever she chooses to do.”

    Erika also addressed the rumors about a supposed romance between Kyle and country singer Morgan.

    “It’s hard to live in a place like that, where … there’s so much speculation as to whether they’re friends or more than friends,” shared Erika. “And it’s like, you know what? Everybody let Kyle tell us who and what — and what difference does it make, whether you agree or don’t believe her? It’s her life that you’re watching. And so, that’s her walk, her journey.”

    Addressing next week’s conclusion to the reunion, Erika expressed, “It was a little unusual the way we ended.”

    “I can only speak for myself, I felt completely OK,” she continued. “I felt like I said everything I needed to say, others may not have had the chance.”

    She also was asked about Sutton Stracke’s medical event, which was teased in a recent trailer.

    “She’s fine,” said Erika. “She’s OK.”

    Erika Jayne Loses Court Battle and Faces Trial After Judge Denies Motion to Dismiss $18 Million Lawsuit From Costume Designer, Details Revealed & RHOBH Live Viewing Thread

    Erika Jayne has just suffered what is being described as one of her “worst” court losses.

    On Tuesday, a judge denied the 52-year-old Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member’s request to have a lawsuit filed against her by fashion designer Christopher Psaila dismissed, which could ultimately send her to trial. Christopher was arrested and indicted on charges of fraud after being accused of charging $787,000 to Erika’s American Express card.

    “Devastating day for Erika Girardi, to our surprise, the federal court in a short opinion DENIED her SLAPP motion to dismiss Christopher Psaila’s case,” attorney Ronald Richards revealed on Twitter on February 27. “[Erika] will now face a trial on allegations she falsely got her costume designer charged. Nothing is ever a lock in court. Congrats to Marco Marco! This is one of her worst losses as she won’t be able to delay this trial and the facts are bad for her.”

    In February 2023, it was reported that Thomas Girardi, 84, may have used his connection to Lorenzo Robert Savage III, head of the Los Angeles office of the U.S. Secret Service, to bring charges against Christopher in regard to supposedly unauthorized charges he made to Erika’s credit card in exchange for Thomas representing Lorenzo in a separate case.

    Christopher denied the charges against him. And ultimately, after plenty of heartache that followed Erika being refunded the money, which was payment for costumes Christopher’s company, Marco Marco, made for the RHOBH cast member, the charges were dismissed.

    In a statement at the time, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s office in L.A. reacted to a potential mishandling of the situation by the Secret Service, who allegedly investigated the charges without hearing Christopher’s side of the story.

    “We ultimately determined that law enforcement evidence preservation issues undermined our ability to prosecute the case and the interests of justice supported dismissal,” the statement said.

    Months later, Christopher sued Erika for over $18 million, alleging she and Thomas participated in an extortion scheme against him and his business and ruined his career.

    After the filing of Christopher’s case, Erika’s attorney, Evan Borges, responded with a statement.

    “Plaintiff’s claims against Erika are entirely without merit. Independent federal prosecutors at the U.S. Attorney’s Office made the decision to charge plaintiff with crimes, no one else. The notion that Erika controlled the U.S. Government, or for that matter a Fortune 100 company such as American Express, is fantasy,” he stated.

  • RHOBH’s Crystal Kung-Minkoff on Off-Camera Convo With Annemarie, & Denies Being a “Socialite”

    RHOBH’s Crystal Kung-Minkoff on Off-Camera Convo With Annemarie, & Denies Being a “Socialite”


    Crystal Kung-Minkoff is looking back at her off-camera conversation with Annemarie Wiley, during which Annemarie claimed she slammed the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast as “uneducated and shallow.”

    After Annemarie, 40, made the claims against Crystal, 40, on the latest episode of the show, Crystal detailed the chat they had without the cameras as her co-stars revealed if they believed Annemarie and Annemarie suggested Crystal was “triggered” by her because her husband, Rob Minkoff, 61, didn’t support her dreams of working in the medical field.

    “She was pissed at me, so she found a way to get back at me for calling her out,” Crystal said of Annemarie’s claims on a recent episode of the RHOBH: After Show.

    Although Crystal said she’s a “very social person,” she denied calling herself a “socialite,” saying only, “If that’s what being social is, then I guess I am.”

    As for Sutton Stracke, 52, who seemed to embrace the socialite label by revealing she’s “been to the Met Gala seven times” and is “on the board of American Ballet Theater,” she looked back on an off-camera chat she had with Crystal.

    “She said, ‘I’m not a socialite. Socialites are in New York. It’s an East Coast thing,’” Sutton shared, proceeding to admit that she felt Annemarie’s claims against Crystal were true.

    “I could hear [Crystal] saying something like that,” she said.

    Kyle Richards, 55, also felt Crystal accused the cast of being “uneducated and shallow.”

    “Crystal does take a lot of pride in being a socialite. She actually, that’s what she is. I do believe that she said that. I do,” Kyle noted. “[But] I don’t care. If she wants to say I’m uneducated, I did not go to college. I’m also very intelligent and very successful, so I don’t really care if someone says I’m uneducated.”

    “She probably did call us all uneducated,” Erika Jayne, 52, agreed. “There’s many ways to be educated. What? Formally educated? Street-wise? Sexual knowledge? Financial? Spiritual?”

    Erika then questioned why Crystal would want to be on the show if she felt her castmates weren’t educated.

    “[If] we’re all so dumb, what are you doing here? That makes you dumb too,” she stated.

    While certain RHOBH cast members felt that Crystal did speak ill of them, Crystal denied having done so as she shared details about the conversation she had with Annemarie off the show.

    “When I met her, she had asked me, because she watched the show, so she goes, ‘Do you guys hang out with each other all the time?’” Crystal recalled. “And I said, ’Some people hang out, and some people I might see them the next season,’ I said, ‘It looks like everyone is super social, but there’s more people that have big groups of friends or their tight group.’ So I said, ‘I’m someone who has a lot of friends. I’m very social. I’m one of the more social people because I’m from L.A.’ And she took that to change it into I said, ‘Everyone is not a socialite. But I am.’”

    Still, Annemarie insisted that was not the truth.

    “She’s like, ‘They are uneducated and pretend socialites.’ She’s like, ‘I’m the only real actual socialite in the group,’” Annemarie explained.

    During another segment of the RHOBH: After Show, the cast reacted to Annemarie suggesting she made Crystal relevant.

    “No, I think I did,” Sutton corrected. “We’re just letting Crystal be Crystal. Calm and quiet. Now Annemarie’s not having that.”

    “I do think that Annemarie challenged Crystal and made Crystal speak up,” replied Garcelle Beauvais, 57.

    According to Crystal herself, she didn’t understand how Annemarie felt she had made her relevant. After all, “No one’s ever met her before.”

    “The content makes no sense to me,” Crystal noted. “Saying that I called everyone non-socialites when I’m a socialite saying that now she’s part of the group and I’m relevant, it’s all sort of nonsense, and when that happens, I feel like it’s disingenuous, I disconnect. I’m just not that person, so I just find it comical. I can only defend myself so much. It’s just kind of an absurd comment, but, you know.”

    In closing, Annemarie suspected Crystal was “triggered” by her presence.

    “Crystal wanted to go to medical school,” she revealed. “Sorry, Crystal, that you decided to marry a man [who] didn’t support your dreams. Crystal probably sees me, is super triggered, ‘look at her with her,’ sorry, my life’s pretty awesome, ‘and she is a thriving medical professional, [I] wish I would’ve been able to do that.’ So, of course, she’s triggered by it.”

    The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 13 airs Wednesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.

  • Kyle Richards Talks Being “Hurt” by Erika Wanting to Her to Get “Eviscerated” at RHOBH Reunion

    Kyle Richards Talks Being “Hurt” by Erika Wanting to Her to Get “Eviscerated” at RHOBH Reunion


    Credit: Instagram

    Kyle Richards reacted to Erika Jayne’s shocking recent interview – when she declared her wish that Kyle gets “eviscerated” at the reunion in the same way Erika was eviscerated in the past. She also shared if they’ve spoken since.

    For years, Erika and Kyle have had a tight friendship on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Throughout the current season, Erika defended Kyle against castmates questioning her marriage to Mauricio Umansky. Kyle and Mauricio are now separated, but Kyle recently claimed they’re working on it.

    In an interview with E! News, Kyle reacted to Erika’s shade.

    “I am someone who likes to move past things,” said Kyle in a clip shared by @byewighellodrama on Instagram. “A person who forgives and forgets. With Erika, you know, in all the years she’s been on the show and she’s been my friend, she’s never stabbed me in the back [and has] always been supportive, and I really trust her and consider her a friend.”

    “I’m not gonna lie, that stung. It hurt me cause I was having a hard week as it is” added Kyle. “I was a little sensitive when I heard that.”

    According to Kyle, Erika was simply saying she wanted everyone to be “tortured” in the same way she was tortured over her legal issues.

    “So that’s how I choose to take that,” said Kyle.

    She claimed Erika warned her beforehand, but they haven’t spoken since it aired.

  • RHOBH Recap: Crystal Calls Annemarie a B*tch as Sutton Confronts Annemarie Over Comments on Her Esophagus, Plus Kyle Admits She's Giving Mauricio a 'Taste of His Own Medicine' Amid Marital Strain

    RHOBH Recap: Crystal Calls Annemarie a B*tch as Sutton Confronts Annemarie Over Comments on Her Esophagus, Plus Kyle Admits She's Giving Mauricio a 'Taste of His Own Medicine' Amid Marital Strain

    Sutton is beyond annoyed once she finds out that Annemarie has been talking about her health issues behind her back. She plans to clear the air with Annemarie at Dorit‘s Homeless Not Toothless event, a Real Housewives of Beverly Hills throwback. But after a heated conversation, it’s Crystal who loses her cool with Annemarie, calling her a b*tch and leaving the group stunned. Can the upcoming girls’ trip to Barcelona bring everyone back together?

    Kyle heads over to Sutton’s house, helps herself to Sutton’s refrigerator, and then silently judges the lack of food in said refrigerator (causing eyebrows to raise after Annemarie insinuated the night before that Sutton had an eating disorder). Kyle has no problem grabbing some eye patches from the refrigerator, though.  Typical Kyle.

    Sutton is trying to understand Mauricio’s business trips and why he was unable to attend such an important night for Kyle at the celebration of life event for her dear friend, Lorene. Sutton is not accepting Kyle’s excuses for him, and it seems a little fishy that he WILL be in attendance at the infamous Homeless not Toothless event, hosted by Dorit.

    Sutton talks about how she was prepping herself to be strong at Kyle’s event since she lost her father to suicide and this is a difficult topic. The focus of the event, unfortunately, changed when Garcelle let Sutton know that Annemarie is “coming for her” and her small esophagus. Sutton wants Annemarie to leave her esophagus alone, and Kyle ponders if Sutton has met her match when it comes to ridiculous topics.

    In other news, the ladies have decided a trip to Barcelona would be a GREAT idea to get the group together; however, Sutton wants to take back Annemarie’s invite… unless she gives her an apology.

    Crystal FaceTimes Garcelle to chat about what went down the night before. They agree that it was a moving celebration of life, but they feel like Annemarie may have forgotten what the event was truly about when she implied Sutton had an eating disorder. Crystal can’t figure out what Annemarie’s end game is with this whole Sutton thing, especially when Crystal realizes that, despite what Annemarie told her, she is NOT a doctor, but rather a nurse anesthetist.

    AND to that point, a simple Google search made by Crystal proves that Sutton’s esophagus issues are, in fact, true, despite Annemarie’s witch hunt against Sutton the night before. It is wild how much Annemarie wants to “out” Sutton; it is next-level and completely unnecessary.

    PK and Dorit meet with a planner to set up the Homeless Not Toothless charity event (sigh, if only we had Kathy to mess this name up over and over again). Dorit is calling it a gala and questions the security level of the space. Because of the recent couple’s therapy session, Dorit feels as though there has been a breakthrough since PK is more present. As a couple, they tweak the tablescape and name drop: Did you know Paula Abdul and William H. Macy will be in attendance, as well as a surprise guest? Is it Boy George??

    Crystal meets up with her brother, Jeff, who is back in the States now after spending time in Asia. Jeff shares that he saw his ex-fiancée and things were surreal. He feels wounded by what happened and states that his ex was never fully accepted by Crystal and her mother… which is not wrong. Jeff believes that another woman coming into his life is problematic, but it needs to become okay so he can move on. Jeff explains that he is going to spend half the year in Bangkok so he can retake control of his life. Aka — he’s sick of Crystal’s overbearing ways and needs some space. JK.

    It’s the day of the Homeless Not Toothless event, and Kyle and Mauricio head over together. They act like two strangers trying to catch up, and it is so awkward. Mo tries to make his absence excusable by pointing out that none of the guys went to Lorene’s celebration of life, and that really hurts Kyle. Kyle explains she is giving Mauricio a ‘taste of his own medicine’ by springing the girls’ Spain trip on him. She acts like a defiant teenager as he tries to pick his jaw up off the floor.

    At the gala, Erika‘s dentist hits on her, which is hilar, and the step and repeat is popping, especially as Kyle and Mo dance around not actually touching each other but attempting to look like a couple. Exhausting.

    Garcelle, Crystal, Erika, and Sutton gather around a table and debrief. Sutton makes it clear that she wants no one talking about her body behind her back (Annemarie) and threatens that it will not go well for her. They call Annemarie over to their table because #showtime. Sutton tells Annemarie that they need to talk and that Annemarie “picked the wrong person.” Once Annemarie tries to explain herself, Sutton cuts her off, and TBH, Sutton is not one to mess with right now.

    Annemarie points out that Sutton has lied to her three times and reminds the group, yet again, that she is a board-certified nurse anesthetist. Sutton makes it clear that she has a board-certified DOCTOR telling her what she can/cannot do with her esophagus condition.

    A nervous Annemarie does the typical Housewife move and deflects. Annemarie claims that Crystal was the one saying Sutton had an eating disorder, which is incorrect, and now the ladies are causing an absolute scene with the yelling. Sutton lets Annemarie know that bringing the esophagus thing up at Kyle’s event was inappropriate, and Crystal points out that Annemarie talked about it to her and Garcelle for nearly two hours.

    The fighting escalates when Crystal attempts to debunk Annemarie’s initial statement that she is a doctor.  Crystal, frustrated in trying to get her point across shrieks, “You are such a b*tch!” Annemarie thinks that Crystal resents her because she didn’t get to go to med school like Annemarie did (right), and after much ado, Annemarie gives the crummiest apology to Sutton to try and get the target off her back.

    Of course, Kyle finds Dorit to tell her that things are getting heated.  Kyle can’t believe that Crystal screamed, “You’re such a b*tch,” at a black-tie event — not exactly what they were hoping for when they said Crystal needs a voice, but who is to judge?

    LOVING that Dorit is introduced as a “fashion designer” (lol) when she takes the stage. She says a few words and passes the mic to Paula Abdul, who then welcomes Taylor Dayne to perform “Tell It to My Heart.” The crowd is brought to their feet, Erika lip-syncs the words (in preparation for her upcoming show — hello, Amber?), and the night is a relative success. Before it wraps up, Sutton gets the ladies together to try and clear the air, in hopes of positive vibes only coming with them to Spain.

    Later, Kyle is stuck playing peacekeeper between Sutton and Annemarie. Sutton explains that Annemarie needs to stop talking AT them, but once Kyle calls Annemarie, it’s not Sutton that Annemarie is beefing with — it’s Crystal.  Crystal admits that it’s rude to call someone a b*tch, but she got pushed to her limit, and it is clear that Annemarie just wants to be right since this esophagus issue is a medical thing and she works in the medical field.  Annemarie states she has no intention of talking to Crystal since she mocked her profession, and so she will avoid her until she receives an apology.

    HOWEVER, Annemarie is ready to make peace with Sutton before getting on this plane to Barcelona. She feels bad for her part in all that happened, but part? Sutton is right — Annemarie’s part is all of it! Sutton states that Annemarie is not off the hook. Twenty-four hours later, the group arrives in Barcelona, Spain, and let’s just say any hope that the hurt will heal is thrown out the window.

    Erika Jayne and her Real Housewives of Beverly Hills castmates are expected to film the reunion special for their 13th season in two weeks. And during an interview last week, Erika teased what is to come.

    While also confirming if she’s been in touch with Denise Richards, 52, since their dramatic face-off, sharing her thoughts on newbie Annemarie Wiley, 40, and reacting to Crystal Kung-Minkoff, 40, suggesting her moments of speaking up have been cut from the show, Erika, 52, revealed if she’ll return for season 14 and shared which of her co-stars will have the most to answer to at the reunion.

    “Not me. And that I am really happy about. I’m sure [Andy Cohen] is going to really press [Kyle Richards]. I think Kyle is going to have a hard time again this year,” Erika said during a January 10 interview with Entertainment Tonight. “I think I did all the clearing [up] I need to. I think I’m okay. It’s definitely better than the last few years so I’m good.”

    One of Erika’s most tense moments of RHOBH was her spat with Denise. And when asked if they’ve spoken, Erika gave an emphatic, “No!”

    Then, when she was told that Denise has since admitted to making an a** out of herself on the show, Erika was happy to hear it.

    “Oh, thank you. I’m glad she said that. I didn’t hear that,” she stated.

    Erika was then asked about her and Denise’s OnlyFans drama, which featured Erika giving a nod to the fact that both Denise and her daughter, Sami Sheen, 19, have accounts on the adult platform.

    “I did not find out who was more profitable on OnlyFans but put up those numbers and let’s see,” she encouraged.

    In recent episodes, the dynamic has seemed to be Annemarie vs. everyone else. But when it comes to Erika, she isn’t opposed to the newbie.

    “I got along with Annemarie. I did and I just spoke on the phone with her last night. I think she’s a great addition,” Erika shared. “She came in with a strong opinion and that’s what makes Housewives. Whether you like her, whether you don’t, she did her job.”

    Because Annemarie has gone on and on about Sutton Stracke‘s esophagus, questioning her health on a number of occasions, many have spoken out against her. Still, in Erika’s opinion, Annemarie is simply doing what she can to navigate the often unruly world of reality television.

    “You can’t tell someone what to do. She’s new to the group. She’s finding out what to do,” Erika reasoned.

    Regarding Crystal’s suggestion that her moments of “speaking up” have been edited out of RHOBH, Erika said she hadn’t heard of any such thing.

    “I don’t know because I’m too busy worried about myself and I’m very loud. So I don’t remember,” she noted.

    Also during the interview, Erika was asked if she’d say, “yes,” if approached for a role on season 14.

    “Yeah,” she confirmed. “I think it’s one of these things that you have to do what’s right for you at the time, for them and for you — it’s an agreement.”

    As for what she believes needs to happen for a more cohesive cast in future episodes, be it a cast shakeup or something else, Erika suggested her co-stars simply need to be more authentic.

    “I think if people thought independently and really said how they felt about certain people and weren’t afraid to be themselves, you would probably see some friendships split up, and I use that word friendships lightly … What I know and what people see are two different things,” she said.

    The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 13 airs Wednesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.

    Lisa Rinna has landed on the cover of Cosmopolitan. And in true form, she’s made quite the splash.

    In addition to posing in a sparkly sheer jumpsuit, exposing her nipples to readers, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum, 60, opened up about her sex life with Harry Hamlin, 72, explained how her daughters Delilah Hamlin, 25, and Amelia Hamlin, 22, have reacted to having her as a mom, and admitted to “[prostituting]” herself in the entertainment industry while also looking back on her mom’s death, her Bravo exit, and more.

    “I have not always been this in touch with my sexuality at all. I grew up very repressed, like everybody did in the ’60s. It just wasn’t something that nice girls did or talked about or flaunted, especially not in Medford, Oregon, where I was raised,” Lisa admitted in the latest issue of Cosmopolitan.

    Even when she first met Harry, Lisa was not the woman people know today.

    “Harry is so accepting of who I am and always has been, and so I’ve grown into that. He’s been a supportive partner this whole time, 31 years later … [And] within those 31 years, I had children … And then I had postpartum depression and I completely lost my mojo,” she shared.

    While Lisa felt hopeless amid her struggles with postpartum depression, an antidepressant helped tremendously, and a pole dancing class helped her reclaim her mojo.

    “That changed everything, because it felt safe,” she explained. “It changed my whole perception and fear about sexuality and expressing yourself. I did it for a good two years, and I don’t think I ever looked back. Then I was just able to really be open, really share it. Harry was thrilled, obviously. I mean, I learned a lot of really good tricks.”

    When Lisa was ultimately faced with menopause, she was initially concerned about taking hormones due to a potential breast cancer risk, as the disease runs in her family. But once she saw an Eastern-Western medicine doctor and figured out the right mix that actually protects her from the disease, she began to thrive once again.

    “They have been really helpful in my being able to stay feeling good about myself,” she noted. “For me, it’s about finding a way to just be comfortable and not put pressure on myself as to who I am in this moment at 60 years old.”

    Although Lisa confessed that she doesn’t “want to have sex every five seconds,” she said she and Harry do their best to make time for one another.

    “I think that it’s almost more about companionship and about creating space for the ebb and flow of sexuality. We really have great sex together, and we always have. It’s just that maybe it doesn’t happen quite as often as it did when you’re in your 30s and in your 20s,” she shared.

    When Lisa’s Instagram bio was then mentioned, in which she proclaims herself as a “hustler,” she admitted she’s “prostituted [herself] out.”

    “I’ve sold my soul; I’ve prostituted myself. I’ve done many things, but at least I know exactly what I’ve done and the price I’ve paid. And come on, we’re all human,” she reasoned.

    Throughout the decades she’s spent in entertainment, Lisa has learned not to care about the opinions of others.

    “I just don’t give a sh*t about what people think about me, and that has been a tremendous gift that I have learned,” she proclaimed. “Everything that I’ve gone through has brought me to this point where I do not f*cking care what anybody thinks about me. I don’t need your approval.”

    That said, she can’t imagine what it’s like for Delilah and Amelia.

    “Imagine having me as your mom and opening up your Instagram and I’m, like, dancing or doing some funny thing,” she posed. “I think that if you look at them and you see what they’ve accomplished at such a young age, I don’t think it’s a negative. I think it’s actually a positive, because they see that anything is possible. Like today, my daughter said, ‘Oh my god, Mom, you’re a rock star.’ I was showing her photos from this shoot, and I thought, ‘That’s a cool thing to hear from your 22-year-old.’”

    During Lisa’s final season on RHOBH, she was met with the tragic death of her beloved mother, Lois Rinna, which she now says “changed [her] whole life.”

    “I lost my mind. I went crazy. I was filming. I was trying to grieve in public. And I went absolutely insane in the process until I removed myself from the situation and was really able to sit and grieve more properly,” she explained, adding that leaving Bravo helped her to properly grieve the loss.

    “I would say the therapy was the most helpful and absolutely saved me, as did getting off the show and getting out of that environment so that I could have peace, and so I could just allow myself to be. I had to leave that situation in order to find myself again,” she shared.

    On the premiere episode of RHOBH season 13, after speculation regarding a potential firing, Lisa’s exit letter to producers was aired.

    “I had no idea. Nobody gave me a heads-up,” Lisa revealed of the scene. “I mean, a week before it aired, somebody sent it to me because Bravo had sent out a preview of the episode. So I thought, ‘Wow, look at that.’ Because, of course, everyone thought I’d been fired. But no, I made that decision.”

    Looking back, Lisa said, “It was the right decision to make, at the time.”

    “I didn’t regret it when I sent the letter, and I haven’t regretted it since,” she continued.

    Following her exit from the show, Lisa quit watching the series.

    “I’m not [watching]. I think that when you leave a job that you’ve had for eight years, you have to really disengage, and I had to disengage completely for my own sanity,” she stated. “I have my friends that I talk to, and they will always be my friends, because they became my friends through the show.”

    While Lisa certainly gained several friends during her eight years on RHOBH, she said it was Erika Jayne, 52, who supported her when she was the most vulnerable.

    “There was one. Erika Jayne was very supportive of me and helped me through that time. Our pain connected us really well at the time,” Lisa revealed, adding, “Diana Jenkins, who came on the show very, very briefly, she also has been a great support.”

    In addition to having no regrets about leaving Bravo, Lisa also said she doesn’t regret joining the series to begin with, saying it was one of the “greatest decisions [she’s] ever made.”

    “That show brought me so many positives. It was a great thing for me to do at the time, absolutely great. And it was the right time for me to go. I think it served its purpose for both of us, for me and for Bravo. Absolutely,” she declared.

  • Girardi judge cites calls with Erika Jayne, ugly sweater in competency ruling

    Girardi judge cites calls with Erika Jayne, ugly sweater in competency ruling

    The judge who found Tom Girardi competent to stand trial saw evidence he was faking memory problems in his relationship with his reality star wife and in the shabby cardigan the normally dapper man wore for mental exams.

    In a 52-page decision unsealed Friday, U.S. Dist. Judge Josephine Staton wrote that the disgraced former attorney met the legal standard to face wire fraud charges stemming from what prosecutors describe as a decades-long, $100-million scheme that robbed law firm clients.

    “Defendant clearly understands the nature of the charges against him,” the judge wrote. She said Girardi’s “purported denial of knowledge of the charges made against him [and/or the purported failure to remember such charges once reminded of them] is wholly lacking in credibility.”

    Staton’s competency finding was disclosed last week, but the decision explaining her reasons was held back to allow for redactions of personal information. Much of her ruling is based in the conclusions of experts who testified at series of hearings last fall.

    The judge also pointed to Girardi’s claim that he did not remember his wife, the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Erika Jayne. The pair have been married for more than 20 years, though she filed for divorce in 2020 as his financial problems emerged.

    “Defendant’s denial of any memory of a third wife is undercut by the fact that, during a clinical interview, he answered a phone call from her, accurately remembering she was leaving to fly to Spain that day,” the judge wrote, referring to testimony from a neuropsychologist who examined Girardi for the government.

    Staton also noted the ill-fitting and hole-ridden burgundy sweater that Girardi, known during his career for immaculately tailored suits, chose to wear to court, interviews with lawyers and medical experts. Prosecutors have suggested it was part of a calculated plan to portray himself as mentally addled. Staton noted how Girardi would dig through a hamper looking for the sweater before key meetings with psychological experts.

    “This tended to show that Defendant’s short-term memory was intact because he recalled having that sweater, sought it out to wear on that day, and found it in the laundry,” she wrote.

    Girardi’s lawyers have argued that the 84-year-old, who resides in the dementia ward of a nursing home, has no short-term memory and does not recognize them or remember the criminal case against him when they meet.

    A magistrate judge entered a plea of not guilty on his behalf last year because of the competency issue. With that decided, normal proceedings in the case are to resume with a hearing scheduled for Wednesday.

    Staton allowed that his advanced age might make him less of a help to his lawyers than at the pinnacle of his career, when his “superior cognition and his abilities as a civil trial attorney would have been likely to result in an exceptional ability to participate in his own defense.”

    But, she concluded, “any actual diminishment of these abilities or of his cognition is not as severe as Defendant presents it and, stripped of the feigning and/or exaggeration described by the experts and found by the Court herein, Defendant retains the ability ‘to assist properly in his defense.’”

    Crystal Kung-Minkoff didn’t like Kyle Richards and Dorit Kemsley’s conversation about Sutton Stracke‘s drinking on an earlier episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

    While attending a party at Kathy Hilton‘s Bel Air home earlier this month, Crystal, 40, shot down the potentially “dangerous” narrative her castmates put out there as she dished on her friendships with Sutton, 52, and Erika Jayne, 52, and admitted that for her, season 13 was about being honest.

    “I didn’t like that at all,” Crystal said of the chat Kyle, 54, and Dorit, 47, had about Sutton’s drinking during a recent interview with Extra TV. “I was a little bit quiet because I was trying to absorb what was going on and I just think that narrative is not only unkind but can be hurtful and, in some ways, dangerous for people.”

    “If you really believe that [there is an issue], then there needs to be a movement to help someone,” she added. “But I didn’t feel that was the situation, personally.”

    During production on season 13, Sutton faced challenges as she learned her ex-husband Christian Strake would be moving to London, potentially with her and their son, just hours before her meltdown at Magic Mike.

    Looking back, Crystal revealed that she warned Sutton about hiding certain information.

    “I actually told her the other day, I said, ‘Now that we’re close, it’s really important for you to say it.’ I’m like, ‘If things are going on behind closed doors, just let me know. You don’t need to tell me details.’ Because that’s why we struggled my first two years on the show — because she had other stuff going on.”

    She also advised Sutton against taking her personal hardships out on her castmates.

    “I said, ‘You can’t take it out on people,’” she shared.

    In addition to being in a better place with Sutton throughout season 13, Crystal also enjoyed getting to know Erika better.

    “I actually always have liked her and I think, what you don’t really see the first two years, she was very protective of me, very supportive,” Crystal explained. “I think she felt really bad when I brought up stuff in her lawsuit but that wasn’t to be vindictive. That was just how I felt and she’s the one who encouraged me to say how I feel and so I think that’s why we’re okay, is because she knows I came from a place of authenticity.”

    “We’re good. I’m happy we’re friends,” Crystal added. “I’m fine with everyone, actually.”

    Going into her third year on the show, Crystal said she was determined to speak her mind.

    “This year is really just being honest and saying how I feel in the moment, and I think if it’s reasonable, then people accept it. Because you’re not doing it to be vindictive. You’re just there to be honest,” she noted. “And sometimes people need to be called out.”

    The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 13 airs Wednesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.

  • Kyle Richards Calls Out RHOBH Costars for Not Defending Her Against Garcelle’s Infidelity Question After Garcelle Slams Her for Not Sticking Up for Denise in Sneak Peek

    With friends like these…

    Kyle Richards called out her co-stars for not defending her against Garcelle Beauvais‘ infidelity question about Mauricio Umansky. Garcelle then suggested that Kyle’s “lifestyle change” is “weird.”

    In a preview for the upcoming episode, Garcelle first shaded Kyle for not defending Denise Richards – after Erika Jayne slammed Denise’s OnlyFans collaboration with her daughter.

    “Really it should be that children and families are off limits,” said Kyle of Erika’s comment in a preview shared by @queensofbravo on X.

    “Then why didn’t you say that to [Erika] when she just said that?” asked Garcelle. “She was sitting right next to you.”

    Kyle, however, refused to sit back and be silent.

    “I was letting you guys talk it out. Why didn’t anybody stand up for me the other night!?” she asked, referring to Garcelle’s infidelity questions. “Why didn’t anybody say, ‘That’s wrong to do?’”

    The episode showed a clip of Garcelle asking if Mauricio gave Kyle her new ring because he “messed up.” Her castmates stayed silent.

    “Where the f**k has everybody been when I’ve needed them?” asked Kyle in the new episode’s confessional. “Are you kidding me? If you want to play every-man-for-himself game, then we’re going to play it across the board.”

    Back in the group scene, Kyle continued to stand up for herself.

    “Not one person said, ‘That is so weird to sit there and say, oh she has a new piece of jewelry. Must be that her husband bought it because he cheated … That’s her family. That’s her husband. Her kids are upstairs.’”

    “So guess what? F**k everybody. You guys can figure it out,” said Kyle of her future willingness to get involved in other people’s fights.

    In her own confessional, Garcelle said she “didn’t defend” Kyle when Sutton Stracke brought up her marriage because Garcelle was also “curious about Kyle’s marriage.”

    Garcelle then mentioned, once again, Kyle’s “ring-switching” and frequent “working out” – suggesting it represents a “lifestyle change,” which Garcelle thinks is “weird.”
