  • ‘Southern Charm’ Salley Carson Explains Giddiness Over Austen’s Split, Denies Coming on Too Strong, and Talks West Wilson Hookup, Plus Shades Craig as “Calculated,” Reveals Who Was in Hot Seat Most at Reunion

    Salley Carson addressed her giddy reaction to Austen Kroll and Audrey Pratt‘s split on Wednesday night’s episode of Watch What Happens Live.

    While also sharing whether she came on too strong when it came to flirting with Austen, 38, post-breakup, confirming her past hookup with Summer House‘s West Wilson, 31, and accusing Craig Conover, 36, of being “calculated” on camera, the 31-year-old Southern Charm star dished on the reunion, her friendships with Charley Manley, 28, and Venita Aspen, 32, and Whitner Slagsvol‘s recent shade.

    “They were broken up … I did not make a move on him while he was with Audrey. And I would not have done it. And he wouldn’t have either. He was very respectful of her,” Salley clarified on the February 11 episode of WWHL. “But I mean, I was saying things to my girlfriends, like he’s hot. He has a great personality. But I would be flattered if someone was saying that about my boyfriend.”

    As for the moment in which Austen cozied up to her as Audrey was left to her own devices, Salley said she was “just having a good time talking to Austen.”

    According to Salley, she never really crossed paths with Audrey, “other than her just hanging around the group with being with Austen,” and doesn’t feel that she came on too strong by flirting so soon after her and Austen’s split.

    Moving on to Austen’s mom, Salley said that she enjoyed the chat she and Austen had, in which she expressed a desire for him to have kids.

    “I loved that conversation because I want kids,” she revealed, adding that after Austen revealed that his mom was a fan of Salley on last week’s episode, she had lunch with her and her sister.

    Then asked who she would rather hook up with again between West and Shep Rose, 45, Salley said, “West Wilson for sure,” and confirmed she had not hooked up with any other Bravolebrities.

    After sharing that she and West only hooked up once, but hung out “more than once,” Salley moved on to Craig, explaining that he was different on and off camera as she gave a nod to Austen’s birthday dinner, during which Craig called Austen an “enemy.”

    “100 percent. When I heard that come out of Craig’s mouth, I was like, the audacity that you have to say that to Austen because he is very calculated on camera,” she stated.

    Regarding why she didn’t take a hint that Craig wasn’t interested in her after he failed to make a move in the hot tub, Salley pointed out that he wasn’t making moves on Charley either.

    “It’s just like, the vibes were weird, and nobody really understood what was going on,” she reasoned.

    Then, after saying Craig was in the hot seat most at the reunion and sharing that Charley was a better friend than Venita, at the moment, Salley revealed that “everyone was a little shocked” to find out that it was Charley who spilled to Craig about Austen’s split.

    “No one knew that happened until we saw the episode,” she shared. 

    Also on the live episode, Salley reacted to Whitner butting in while she was hashing things out with Venita.

    “I don’t think it was his place. I think he was trying to have Molly’s back. They have a really close friendship, but it really ticked Venita off,” she said.

    Later, on the WWHL: After Show, Salley reacted to Whitner, 36, calling her “messy,” acknowledging that he likely did so because she had suggested that fans don’t really know him.

    “I am messy, and at least people are enjoying watching it, honestly,” she admitted. “[Whitner] loves to be like, ‘Well, I am the top guy in the group now, and I don’t have any mess,’ and I’m like, ‘Okay. That’s boring.’”

    Southern Charm season 11 airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.

  • RHOBH’s Kyle Richards Addresses Mauricio Reconciliation Rumors, Divorce Update & Regrets, Plus Last Time She Spoke to PK, Status With Dorit, & Amanda’s ‘Unnecessary Comment’

    Credit: Roger Wong/INSTARimages

    Kyle Richards addressed a recent report suggesting she and Mauricio Umansky were back together on Thursday night’s Watch What Happens Live.

    As she also offered an update on their impending divorce, revealed what she wished didn’t air on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and confirmed when she last spoke to Paul “PK” Kemsley, 58, Kyle, 57, addressed her estrangement from Dorit Kemsley, 49, reacted to Dorit’s dinner spat with Amanda Frances, 41, teased the upcoming season of Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip, and reflected on her visit to her old home, which Amanda now owns.

    “Someone made that story up. We went to actually, Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell’s house, and we’re friends with [Kate Hudson], and I don’t know where that story came from. [Mau and I] went with the whole family. He was kind of doing his thing, [and] I was with my girls,” Kyle explained on the January 29 episode of WWHL.

    Not only are Kyle and Mauricio, 55, not back together, but they’re closer to divorce.

    “We have had conversations that we had not had during the season since then, but we still haven’t filed. But we’ve had conversations about what this is gonna look like and all of that,” she revealed.

    On the WWHL: After Show, Kyle spoke of her most regrettable moments on RHOBH.

    “So many. I would say season one, the limo scene [with Kim Richards was the worst]. That was a no-brainer for me. There’s been many since then, even Amsterdam, running out when [Lisa Rinna] broke the glass and all that,” she shared.

    According to Kyle, she is closest to Erika Jayne, 54, and Sutton Stracke, 54, when it comes to her castmates, but she hopes that she and Dorit can “fix things.”

    “She’s important to me,” she noted.

    Looking back on the series’ 15th season, Kyle said that what weighs on her the most is her feud with Dorit.

    When a fan wanted to know when she last spoke to PK and if she felt she and Dorit could make amends, Kyle confirmed that she hadn’t spoken to PK “since last season.”

    “I do think I can repair with Dorit. I love her very much, even though we’re not speaking right now. I love her family. I want the best for her, and once you love someone like that and you have a genuine friendship, I think there’s always room to repair,” she explained. “I hope she feels the same.”

    Back on the live broadcast,  Kyle said that when it came to Dorit’s dinner drama with Amanda, Dorit truly didn’t know that their spat occurred on the anniversary of the death of one of Amanda’s twins.

    “Dorit really did not know about the anniversary, so I felt bad. I was thinking to myself, ‘abort mission, abort mission, just don’t do this.’ But then when she told her, I think she should’ve let it go,” she noted.

    As for RHUGT, which began filming earlier this month, Kyle described the experience as “exhausting.”

    “I’m not even being dramatic. I don’t even know how I can form a sentence today. The shouting, the talking over each other, these personalities, so many different personalities, altogether, I’ve had roommates, I’ve watched big fights from other cities in the middle of them. There are no words,” she admitted. “The fans are going to lose their marbles over this. I can’t even tell you.”

    Looking back at the moment in which she returned to her former home in Bel Air, Kyle said she wasn’t expecting to get so emotional.

    “I genuinely just thought, ‘Oh, I want to see what she’s done with the house.’ And I was just shocked at my reaction. Maybe I blocked it out, but I was so embarrassed I barely said goodbye to her,” she recalled. “There was a lot of things, by the way, it was obviously my life had changed so much, I was also, I moved out of there and was burglarized right after that. Everything was taken from me. It’s like, my whole life just changed.”

    Also on the show, after asking, “What can I say,” when Mau’s lack of emotion was mentioned, Kyle reacted to Amanda saying she bought her home but not her husband.

    “I was a little surprised by that. I did not think that was necessary … Why say that? It just wasn’t necessary,” she concluded.

    The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 15 airs Thursdays at 8/7c on Bravo.

  • RHOP’s Ashley Darby Hints She Did More Than Kiss Charrisse’s Son, Reveals When She Last Saw Him, & Clarifies Bravocon Drama With Wendy, Plus She Confirms She’s Back With Josh & Talks Karen Run-In

    Credit: Janet Mayer/INSTARimages.com, Instagram

    Ashley Darby spoke of her interaction with Charrisse Jackson-Jordan’s 27-year-old son, Jackson Jordan, on Watch What Happens Live on Sunday after confirming they kissed on the latest episode of The Real Housewives of Potomac.

    As she also explained her “apology” to Wendy Osefo, 41, questioned Stacey Rusch‘s story about her status with Thiemo Rusch and her past with Chris Samuels, 48, and revealed she and Josh Gudenburr are back together, Ashley, 37, spoke of her recent run-in with Karen Huger, 62, and offered a suspicious response when asked if she and Jackson shared more than a kiss.

    “Maybe,” she coyly replied on the December 21 episode of WWHL.

    According to Ashley, she and Jackson hung out “more than one time” and kept in touch after their first encounter.

    As for who made the first move, that was Jackson.

    “When we touched hands, when I took the key from him, it was electricity, it went through my body,” she gushed. “He’s so young, I didn’t think that I would like a little youngin like that. He is … 10 years younger than me.”

    While Jackson asked Ashley to keep their relationship a secret, Ashley suspected Charrisse would find out through her home security device since he had “just moved back” in with her at the time.

    “I thought that Charrisse would see on her cam, the security cam, and we’d get busted. That’s what I really thought was gonna happen,” she admitted, adding that Charrisse wasn’t in the house at the time.

    Looking back at their run-in at the filmed party on RHOP, Ashley confessed to feeling awkward.

    “I don’t usually feel that way, but all things considered,” she shared, giving the moment a 10 out of 10 for awkwardness.

    Ashley then said that while they’ve “chatted” since the party on Sunday’s episode, she hadn’t seen Jackson in “a year.”

    On the WWHL: After Show, Ashley spoke of Wendy, suggesting that while she seemed to offer an apology to her at BravoCon for shading her fraud arrest, the apology was actually meant for Wendy’s family members. 

    “My apology that I gave to her was to her children more than anyone else, and I stand by that apology, and Wendy can also go kick rocks,” she declared. “[The apology] is to her family, to her children. They are innocent bystanders in all of this.”

    Back on the live show, Ashley had kinder words for Wendy, admitting to feeling bad for her when she watched her fight with her mom.

    “That was very hard to watch, especially because I’ve been in a similar situation where I talked to my mom about my dad, and my mom got really sensitive too, but she was very supportive. So that was hard. I felt very bad for Wendy,” she stated.

    Moving on to Stacey, Ashley clarified that she was “not concerned about Stacey’s relationship” with Thiemio.

    “I am concerned with authenticity and genuineness and the truth. Point blank, period,” she explained. 

    Ashley also noted that she didn’t have a problem with Stacey’s potential romance with Chris.

    “I never said it was a problem, but why deny it?” she wondered. “Here’s the thing: if you’re gonna skirt around the issue, it looks like you have something to hide, so why not just be honest and say, ‘Yeah, we knocked boots,’ and call it a day?”

    Regarding her own love life, Ashley said she was “spinning the block” with Josh.

    “Josh was in New York with me … Josh and I are dating again .. he’s a good guy,” she noted. 

    As for her issue with his finances, or lack thereof, Ashley confirmed, “This is still an issue, and the children part of it, too, but I just can’t quit him.”

    “He’s a good guy [and] he’s a very good time,” she added.

    Then, giving a nod to the time she spent with Karen at BravoCon, Ashley said, “It was very nice to give her a hug. She was running a little late, and I waited as long as I could, and it was a nice embrace.”

    Also on the WWHL: After Show, Ashley said she would be touring “soon.”

    “My children’s book is coming out first,” she revealed.

    The Real Housewives of Potomac season 10 airs Sundays at 8/7c on Bravo.

  • Erika Jayne Suggests Kyle Richards’ Relationship With Morgan Wade Was a “One-Off,” Shades Amanda & Addresses Luann Feud, Plus Update on Boyfriend, Jesse, & Divorce

    Credit: Instagram

    Erika Jayne appeared on Thursday’s episode of Watch What Happens Live, where she encouraged her Real Housewives of Beverly Hills castmates to “lay off” of Kyle Richards and described her alleged lesbian romance as a “one-off.”

    While she also spoke of Kyle’s defense of Paul “PK” Kemsley, 58, the hoe lifestyle of Mauricio Umansky, 55, and her first impression of Amanda Frances, 40, Erika offered an update on her romance with John McPhee, shared where she stands with Luann de Lesseps, 60, addressed the posibility of visiting Thomas Girardi, 86, and more.

    “I’m over it myself. I think she gave you what she could. She gave it to you … we should lay off,” Erika, 54, told host Andy Cohen, 57, when asked if the women should stop questioning Kyle’s sexuality on the December 18 episode of WWHL.

    As for whether Kyle would go “Brad or Angelina” with her next relationship, Erika said, “Brad.”

    “I think it’s a one-off. She’s obviously not [strictly dickly], but I think that was a person and a connection to a person,” Erika explained, not naming Kyle’s former fling.

    Throughout this season and last, Kyle has been accused of defending PK too much. And in Erika’s opinion, “you’re never gonna win that.”

    “So don’t do it,” she advised.

    After then noting that she didn’t care about Mau’s hoe lifestyle, stating, “It is what it is,” Erika was asked to describe her first impression of Amanda in three words.

    “No, no, no,” she replied.

    Speaking of her own love life, Erika joked that she has “pretty bad” taste in men before gushing over John.

    “The person I’m currently dating is a very nice person … [We’ve been dating] six months … I will [be spending the holidays with him]. I leave on Saturday. I’m so excited,” she revealed.

    Moving on to Jesse Solomon, Erika said she hadn’t heard from him since denying their supposed hookup on the premiere episode of RHOBH. 

    She also shut down her drama with Luann, who suggested she wasn’t the nicest at BravoCon.

    “That’s fine. Whatever she wanted to say was cool. You know exactly where I stand,” Erika told Andy, who suspected she was “not well, b*tch.”

    Regarding the status of her divorce, Erika explained, “It’s very difficult to get someone who’s incompetent to divorce. I have to ask the conservator. It’s just not that easy.”

    While Erika confirmed that she’s thought about seeing Tom, she noted that she won’t because it would be “too much.”

    “He’s done. It is what it is,” she reasoned.

    Also on the live airing, after noting that Sutton should rid herself of her ex-husband Christian Stracke‘s last name, since he had “gone so far as to petition the Vatican,” Erika named which castmate she suspected would remarry first.

    “I think it’s Kyle because Kyle likes being married, but Dorit has such game. Did you notice how comfortable she was? She’ll talk to anybody,” she noted.

    Later, on the WWHL: After Show, Erika was asked how she turned a corner with Sutton and questioned about whether Sutton’s truce with Dorit would last.

    “I’m in a place where I don’t want conflict. I’ve gone through a lot, and I would much prefer to get along than not,” she replied. “And as far as Dorit and Sutton, well, I can’t give away the rest of the season.”

  • RHOBH’s Dorit Kemsley Suggests Kyle Only Breaks Up With Morgan During Filming, Addresses “Contentious” Relationship With PK & and Luann Calling Her a “B*tch,” Plus Shades Amanda

    Credit: Instagram

    Dorit Kemsley spoke of Kyle Richards‘ relationship reveal and breakup on Watch What Happens Live after she finally came clean about her secret romance, rumored to be with singer Morgan Wade, on Thursday’s episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

    As she offered an update on her co-parenting relationship with Paul “PK” Kemsley, 58, confirmed where she stands with Boy George, 64, and compared PK to Mauricio Umansky, 55, Dorit shared her thoughts on Luann de Lesseps‘ BravoCon shade, revealed her co-stars with the most and least game, and reacted to Kyle’s love life revelation.

    When asked about Kyle hinting at a split from Morgan, Dorit pointed to the fact that Kyle and Morgan always seem to cool things off in their relationship whenever RHOBH is filming.

    In May of this year, Kyle called Morgan “beautiful” on social media before filming began in June. And then in October, a month after filming ended, Kyle was seen fangirling at Morgan’s concert.

    “I think that that sort of happens when she’s filming,” Dorit, 49, said on the December 11 episode of WWHL about Kyle’s split.

    As for the reveal itself, Dorit said that Kyle coming clean about having a partner who didn’t want to be seen publicly was “all she really ever had to say.”

    “That’s it. All you ever had to say was that, and nothing else would’ve followed,” she noted.

    According to Dorit, who said she had “no idea” where Kyle and the mystery person stand today, she was only sort of surprised that Kyle finally came clean.

    “Yes and no,” she explained. “I think that it’s gotten to a point where it’s like… you’re getting too close.”

    While it was noted that Kyle had been respecting the wishes of the private person she was dating, Dorit suggested she had a responsibility to her fans.

    “She’s a public figure, by the way,” she reminded.

    Also speaking of Kyle, Dorit was asked about how she said that she treats her differently from other ladies when they give her the same advice.

    “It’s very funny … but Kyle and I had a very special relationship for a very long time, almost a decade, and naturally, I’m going to be more sensitive to the way Kyle treats me,” she reasoned. “And when you have that history, you have an expectation, like to be a good friend. And so when that’s not happening, of course, you’re gonna have a problem.”

    Moving on to PK, Dorit revealed they are still not in a good place.

    “It’s so unfortunate because it’s unnecessarily contentious and more challenging than it needs to be. If you’re not communicating, it’s very difficult to coparent effectively,” she shared.

    She was then asked what she admires about Mauricio and wishes PK had more of.

    “I think his knowledge and understanding of the show, and being as supportive as Mauricio was,” she replied. 

    Regarding her castmates, Dorit seemingly shaded Amanda Frances, 40, as the worst-dressed.

    “Well, there’s a certain newbie that could use a little help — definitely not [Rachel Zoe],” she said.

    Also on the live broadcast, after sharing that Boy George was “firmly in PK’s camp” and “hasn’t even reached out,” Dorit spoke of Rachel, 54, applauding her for having the most game while naming Sutton, 54, as the cast member with the least game, and joking that she talks a lot.

    “The beautiful thing is now that Rachel has joined the group … we go toe to toe … You put us together, and … I feel like I can pass the baton,” she explained.

    As for Rachel shading PK and Mauricio’s dating lives as “disgusting,” Dorit said her castmate was probably referring to them being so public and out there, “and not really considerate.”

    “And I would second that,” she stated.

    Later, on the WWHL: After Show, Dorit reacted to Luann, 60, saying she was “not the nicest” at BravoCon and then suggesting it was a compliment.

    “I was like, ‘What?’ Because people don’t usually say, ‘Oh, Dorit’s not very friendly.’ I pride myself on being friendly. So I immediately went up to her, because she was backstage, and I was like, I said, ‘Luann, I’m sorry if I gave you this impression,’” she recalled. “She mentioned the same thing about Kyle, which I didn’t understand. I really still don’t comprehend why she thought I was unfriendly because I was friendly with Kyle … where do things stand? I think they’re fine. She basically said that she thinks that I was just focused on Kyle, and so I didn’t mean to be unfriendly. So I let her slide.”

    “I’m easier than [Erika Jayne],” she added, giving a nod to Luann calling Erika a “b*tch.”

  • RHOSLC’s Lisa Barlow Shades Whitney’s Lifestyle & Hints Angie’s Been Digging Up Dirt, Plus She Reacts to Heather Accusing Her of Being Source of Dirt, Captain Sandy’s Claim, Lawsuits, & Todd Diss

    Credit: Sergi Alexander/Bravo

    Lisa Barlow got emotional on Tuesday’s Watch What Happens Live after being asked about Heather Gay accusing her of leaking information about the cast to bloggers.

    While also shading the lifestyle of Whitney Rose, 39, seemingly accusing Angie Katsanevas, 51, of digging up dirt on her and Bronwyn Newport, 40, and reacting to Below Deck: Mediterranean‘s Captain Sandy Yawn, 60, calling her out, the 50-year-old Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star offered an update on the lawsuits against her, clapped back at Todd Bradley, 66, and admitted to being hurt by Heather, 51.

    “I felt like it was a little snaky, and it hurt my feelings a lot because I thought we were in a great place,” Lisa explained on the October 28 episode of WWHL. “We’ve gone through so much together, and two years ago she said to me, ‘I wanted everyone to hate you, and when they did, it still didn’t feel good.’ So it really hurt me that she went back.”

    After starting to cry, Lisa reacted to the idea that lashing out made her seem guilty.

    “No, because what happened is, Bronwyn sat down at the table and she immediately said, ‘I felt like Whitney did it,’ and she said she got her information from Dana Wilkey. And that’s where I stood up for Whitney and said, ‘No one here would do that. Whitney wouldn’t do that. None of us here would do it.’ And then Whitney, instead of being like, ’Thank you,’ was like, ‘You did this to me last year.’ And I’m like, ‘I didn’t do it to you last year. It was proven, like all of your false allegations, were wrong.’ So it started a whole other thing,” she explained. 

    She then targeted Whitney, saying that while there are a “few” cast members whose lifestyles are far from hers, Whitney’s was the farthest.

    As for Angie, after being asked about the potential dirt she dug up about another cast member, Lisa signaled recent tweets. 

    “I’m gonna save that one, but you can go on Twitter right now, and she has lots of conversations with a guy named Pagey, and he’s sharing their DMs right now. He inspired her Greek citizenship and a few other things. She has a lot to say about me and Bronwyn, too,” Lisa alleged.

    Then, when someone wanted to know why she forgave Whitney so much quicker than Angie, Lisa said she felt Angie had “a consummate issue” with her.

    “It doesn’t go away. It’s exhausting … I don’t even like to talk badly about her because we were such good friends that it feels icky. I’d rather just not say anything,” she reasoned.

    In addition to Heather’s accusations, Tuesday’s RHOSLC also showed the cast enjoying time on a yacht with Captain Jason Chambers, 52, whom Lisa was thoroughly impressed with.

    “He works really hard,” she said of the Below Deck: Down Under star. “I didn’t expect him to work so hard. He was busy, breaking a sweat. He does a really good job.”

    Also regarding Below Deck, Lisa commented on Sandy not being excited to see her at BravoCon next month and slamming her behavior on RHOSLC as “not cool” during an interview with Decider.

    “Captain Sandy, I love her. We went to London and I thought she was amazing. She’s cool,” Lisa stated.

    Moving on to her four lawsuits, Lisa revealed they were dismissed while explaining the issue with her clarity lunch.

    “They’re civil lawsuits. They’re not criminal. I’ve never done anything criminal. Everyone online that keeps saying I’m going to jail is wrong,” she stated. “I cleared up a lot at the clarity lunch. It’s the commitment to listening and asking the same question over and over again that was the problem.”

    Also on the live broadcast, after confirming Meredith Marks, 53, had her back on Tuesday’s episode and noting that they “are good,” Lisa was asked about labeling Bronwyn “Con-wyn” before a troll account did the same.

    “I think I called her Fraudwyn,” Lisa clarified. “In our heated exchange. I said to her, she was calling me out and saying I’m not trustworthy, and I’m like, ‘You’re not trustworthy. You lied about going to Berkley, you lied about working for Goldman Sachs. You lied about the necklace. You lie about everything.’”

    Later, on the WWHL: After Show, Lisa reacted to Todd saying he wouldn’t piss on her if her brain was on fire.

    “That’s so gross,” she stated. “I wouldn’t want him to piss on me. I wouldn’t need him to. I could figure out how to … I would stop, drop, and roll.”

    Then, after teasing the next episode, saying, “You’ll hear what I know Todd is really good at,” Lisa was met with host Andy Cohen, 57, agreeing that the upcoming reveal was “so crazy.”

    “It just comes out of nowhere. And I will say this about Bronwyn, she’s like … She has an ability, much like [Stacey Rusch] on [The Real Housewives of Potomac], to really let it roll. It’s kind of wild,” he acknowledged.

    The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City season six airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.

  • Jim Bellino Shares How Much His Lawsuit Against Tamra Judge Cost, Plus RHOC Alum Reveals If Ryan Boyajian Will Sue Tamra for Slander and How Ryan Is Doing as Ryan Reacts

    Jim Bellino Shares How Much His Lawsuit Against Tamra Judge Cost, Plus RHOC Alum Reveals If Ryan Boyajian Will Sue Tamra for Slander and How Ryan Is Doing as Ryan Reacts

    Credit: Instagram

    Jim Bellino revealed if his friend Ryan Boyajian will follow through with his purported lawsuit against Tamra Judge after the Real Housewives of Orange County star accused him of stealing money from a Dodgers player.

    Jim, who was married to castmate Alexis Bellino — and who successfully sued Tamra for slander in 2018 — shared how much money his own lawsuit cost. He also addressed how Ryan is doing now. Ryan previously indicated that he hired the same lawyer Jim used.

    After Tamra made the accusation against Ryan on Watch What Happens Live, she quickly issued an apology and hinted that she doesn’t know much about the allegation that Ryan is somehow involved in a gambling investigation.

    On The Sarah Fraser Show, Jim was asked if Ryan really hired the same lawyer Jim used to sue Tamra.

    “That’s correct, Jeff Neary,” said Jim. “Jeff’s an amazing lawyer. He’s an expert on slander and defamation.”

    The host then asked if Jim believes Ryan and Jeff will actually sue Tamra for slander.

    “The papers that were served [to Tamra] to my knowledge are cease-and-desist and [an] order for an apology,” he shared.

    The host speculated that Ryan won’t sue Tamra so long as she apologizes and stops speaking his name.

    “Listen, I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on this,” commented Jim of his own past lawsuit. “Nobody wants to sue anybody. I can promise you it’s very emotionally draining. It’s like a divorce. And what surprises me, knowing how much money and emotion Tamra went through, why she would put herself in this position saying statements [as if] fact, like he was raided by the FBI and that he stole money from a baseball player.”

    “Those are actionable offenses,” he continued. “So the fact that Ryan is only requiring an apology, that says something about his character. I think that he realizes — and I’ve actually spoke with Ryan about this — that if you can get the apology, don’t go through with the lawsuit, just because it’s draining.”

    As for how Ryan is doing, Jim explained, “He’s great. He’s just a very even guy. Very chill. I think he handles himself very well in these situations, but he’s not gonna take any s**t. So, it’s on right now.”

    In the comments of the interview, Ryan shared his reaction.

    “JimmyB Speaking Only FACTS,” he wrote.

    New episodes of The Real Housewives of Orange County air Thursday nights on Bravo.

    Shannon Beador offered an update on John Janssen‘s $75,000 lawsuit against her on Thursday night’s Watch What Happens Live.

    As the 60-year-old Real Housewives of Orange County cast member also addressed rumors of a promissory note and an email about the supposedly loaned money for her facelift, Shannon spoke of her potential feud with Jeff Lewis, 54, revealed if she’d sign a non-disparagement agreement, and shared what would make John, 61, settle his lawsuit against her.

    “I offered him what he wanted in full. He refused to sign a non-disparagement agreement, and I literally just got word from my attorney that he will take my offer if I issue a public statement to tell you all how generous he was,” Shannon revealed on the October 10 episode of WWHL. “I don’t want to cry because this is a fun night, but enough.”

    Regarding claims of a promissory note, Shannon said, “It’s all semantics, and I never signed a promissory note, and that was never my intention.”

    As for an email about the loan, she added, “I did not send him an email saying it was a loan. He did. He sent me a promissory note three days, or a couple of days after he sent me the money … and I went livid. And he never brought it up again.”

    Amid her legal drama with John, who is now engaged to her RHOC co-star, Alexis Bellino, 47, Shannon seemed to be faced with tension with Jeff earlier this month.

    On his radio show, Jeff suggested that there was truth behind the rumors of Shannon mistreating the crew of Love Hotel as he admitted she was not in a good place when she began filming the upcoming Peacock series. However, in response to an alleged feud, Shannon said, “No.”

    “I was just on a show, a dating show for three weeks, and I don’t want to get into it, but the host said some things,” she explained. 

    Also speaking of Jeff and how she told him she never thought of John having heard her DUI crash before telling Heather Dubrow, 55, otherwise, Shannon admitted she often mixes up her words.

    “Often, I say things and I get the wrong words. There was a couple of years ago that I [said] to [Braunwyn Windham-Burke], ‘Don’t say things that I said.’ Like, that’s what I do. So on Jeff Lewis Live, I was super tired, you can hear it in my voice, and he said, ‘Have you ever thought about that?’ And I meant to say, ‘I hadn’t until he brought it up.’ I had thought about it — I hadn’t thought about it. See? Okay,” she shared. “I hadn’t thought about it until Jeff called me 10 days after the DUI and said, ‘Did you think about this?’ And it had never occurred to me. So when I said I had thought about it, I meant to say I hadn’t thought about it. There’s like one letter in there.”

    Shannon was then asked if she would sign a non-disparagement agreement.

    “Absolutely,” she confirmed. “That’s why I proposed it months ago.”

    Also on the episode, Shannon played a game of “Push Play or Call It a Day” in which she was asked if she had any romantic interest in a number of Bravolebrities.

    First up? Captain Jason Chambers, 52, who happened to be a friend of Shannon’s.

    “We are friends, so I’m gonna say, ‘Call it a day,’ but I love him as a person,” she shared.

    As for Shep Rose, 44, Shannon again said, “No,” to the possibility.

    “I’m 60,” she stated.

    Shannon then shot down both Mauricio Umansky, 54, and Paul “PK” Kemsley, 57, explaining that she’s friends with Kyle Richards, 55, and other Housewives.

    “There’s girl code, that some people don’t know about,” she said in an apparent diss against Alexis.

  • RHOC’s Jennifer Pedranti is Back in Court With Ex William Weeks After the Exes Reached Divorce Settlement as Details & Hearing Date Are Revealed

    RHOC’s Jennifer Pedranti is Back in Court With Ex William Weeks After the Exes Reached Divorce Settlement as Details & Hearing Date Are Revealed

    Jennifer Pedranti reportedly returned to divorce court shortly after a divorce agreement was reached with her ex William Pedranti. The former couple, who got married in 2002 and broke up in 2021, have disputed the financial situation amid the divorce.

    In July, the exes reportedly reached a settlement – three years after their split. She apparently was awarded a total of $6,000 a month from William in child and spousal support. The Real Housewives of Orange County star is now in a relationship with Ryan Boyajian, who hinted that he’s suing her co-star Tamra Judge (who accused him of stealing from a Dodgers baseball player).

    In Touch obtained court documents claiming that Jennifer returned to divorce court weeks after working out the agreement with William.

    Per the documents, Jennifer demanded that her ex appear in court for a financial examination, claiming she needed this info to assist in the “enforcement of a money judgment” against him.

    Judge Julie Palafox granted Jennifer’s request, and the court scheduled the examination for 8:30 a.m. on October 21 – while ordering William to show up in court with paperwork to aid Jennifer in collecting the money owed to her.

    The notice addressed William directly: “If you fail to appear at the time and place specified in this order, you may be subject to arrest and punishment for contempt of court, and the court may make an order requiring you to pay the reasonable attorney fees incurred by the judgment creditor in this proceeding.”

    Before the July settlement, Jennifer’s attorney asserted, “[Jennifer] requires assistance to cover essential living expenses for herself and her children, such as rent, food and educational costs. While [William] currently covers healthcare expenses, additional support is needed to meet the financial requirements for the children’s activities, as well as their food and clothing expenses.”

    Allegedly, after Jennifer’s new boyfriend Ryan sent Tamra a cease and desist, Tamra apologized twice for making the accusations against him on Watch What Happens Live. Vicki Gunvalson, however, said Ryan isn’t suing Tamra yet. Alum Kelly Dodd recently suggested that multiple castmates should form a class-action lawsuit against Tamra for her alleged slander.

  • RHOC’s Emily Simpson Reveals the “Rudest Bravolebrity,” If Shannon Should’ve Accepted Alexis’ Olive Branch, and Questions Heather’s Jeans-Gate Apology, Plus If Tamra is Projecting Her Drinking Habits Onto Shannon

    RHOC’s Emily Simpson Reveals the “Rudest Bravolebrity,” If Shannon Should’ve Accepted Alexis’ Olive Branch, and Questions Heather’s Jeans-Gate Apology, Plus If Tamra is Projecting Her Drinking Habits Onto Shannon

    Emily Simpson labeled Vicki Gunvalson as the “rudest Bravolebrity” while appearing on Thursday night’s episode of Watch What Happens Live.

    While also addressing Alexis Bellino‘s olive branch to Shannon Beador, 60, her jeans-gate drama with Heather Dubrow, 55, and Tamra Judge‘s apology to Ryan Boyajian, 46, the 48-year-old Real Housewives of Orange County star threw some shade at the OG of the O.C. and at John Janssen, 61.

    “It would be Victoria Gunvalson. I love Vicki, but she can be really rude to other people,” Emily admitted on the October 3 episode of WWHL after being asked who was the rudest Bravo star.

    As for Alexis’ olive branch, which she extended on Thursday night’s RHOC, Emily proclaimed, “No,” when asked if she should’ve accepted it.

    She also didn’t think that Shannon should have softened her “you’re not invited [to London] text.”

    “I feel like she did soften it. I feel like there was a first draft … [She should’ve gone] harder!” Emily stated.

    Looking back at how Alexis kicked Jennifer Pedranti, 47, and Katie Ginella, 40, out of her house, seemingly “shooting the messengers” after they spoke about their upcoming trip across the pond and mentioned John’s lawsuit against Shannon, Emily didn’t think she had a right to be mad at the ladies.

    ”I say no. She needs to be mad at herself,” Emily suggested.

    Regarding her drama with Heather, who had her bring her own jeans to her fashion show, causing Emily to be triggered due to her issues with her weight, Emily clarified that she was not trying to blame Heather for anything when she brought it up at a group event.

    “I was trying to speak from my heart about how I felt. I wasn’t trying to place blame anywhere. But it just went haywire with Alexis being there,” she explained.

    Although Heather ultimately apologized, Gina Kirschenheiter, 40, wondered if her words were genuine or calculated. And Emily seemed to have questions as well.

    “I felt like she was saying what she thought that she should say,” Emily noted, adding that she “never” thought Heather intended to hurt her.

    That said, Emily didn’t appreciate her shady confessional, in which Heather mentioned that her dress was “tight.”

    “I was really taken aback by that because I felt it was a hit, an unnecessary hit and it actually just proved my point, that I’m upset because people say things about me and then you took a hit and said something about me,” she shared.

    Moving on to Tamra, Emily was asked if her co-star was deflecting her own drinking habits onto Shannon.

    “I don’t think so. I know Tamra off-camera and Tamra doesn’t drink a lot off-camera. I think that’s why she doesn’t hold her alcohol well, is because she doesn’t drink all the time,” Emily reasoned.

    As for the recent drama surrounding Tamra’s claims against Ryan, and her apology for suggesting he had stolen from a Los Angeles Dodgers player, Emily said she did not think Tamra was truly sorry for what she said about Ryan or Jennifer.

    Also mentioning Jennifer, Emily said it was “probably Jenn” who annoyed Shane Simpson most, although she also stated that he “likes Jenn.”

    She then hinted that she’s seen red flags in Alexis, 47, and John’s relationship but wouldn’t say what they were, explaining, “I don’t want to get sued.”

    Also on the live show, Emily said that Alexis was the co-star who would have the hardest time passing the bar and reacted to a fan who wanted to know why John gave a statement to PEOPLE magazine about his breakup with Shannon if he was truly a private person.

    “Why does he do anything he does? Why does he go on the red carpet? Why does he go to [WWHL]? Why does he show up at everything? I don’t know,” she replied. “Mr. Private Person is very public.”

    Later on Thursday, amid the WWHL: After Show, Emily was asked how she felt ahead of filming on the reunion.

    “I think it’s gonna be very intense. I think there’s gonna be a lot,” she admitted. “I don’t feel like I’m in the hot seat, but I definitely have opinions about everything, which I will feel free to insert at all times.”

  • Jim Bellino Seemingly Calls Out Tamra Judge for Allegedly Defaming Ryan Boyajian and Talks “Unresolved Bitterness” Toward RHOC Star, Plus He Reacts to Claim About Eddie as Ryan and Kelly Dodd React

    Jim Bellino Seemingly Calls Out Tamra Judge for Allegedly Defaming Ryan Boyajian and Talks “Unresolved Bitterness” Toward RHOC Star, Plus He Reacts to Claim About Eddie as Ryan and Kelly Dodd React

    Alexis Bellino’s ex-husband Jim Bellino seemingly called out Tamra Judge for allegedly defaming Ryan Boyajian – who’s now suing the Real Housewives of Orange County star. Jim also hinted at his own “slander and defamation” lawsuit in 2018, and Ryan and Kelly Dodd reacted.

    Last week, Ryan shared that he’s suing Tamra after she accused him on Watch What Happens Live of stealing money from a Dodgers baseball player. Later on, she issued two separate apologies.

    In 2018, Jim sued Tamra for slander after she and Shannon Beador spoke negatively about him on a podcast. According to a report, he won $1 million from Tamra when they settled. Now, Ryan is allegedly hiring the same attorney Jim used. As for Kelly, she’s considering a class-action lawsuit against Tamra, who allegedly accused her of “suck[ing] d**k for money.”

    “Six years ago, I had to sue a public figure for slander and defamation,” said Jim in a September 29 Instagram post, presumably referring to Tamra. “I won that case, but what I didn’t realize was I was not healed. And the reason I realized that is because just 72 hours ago, this same person, a public figure, slandered and defamed a friend of mine.”

    Jim said he had “unresolved bitterness and anger” toward this person.

    “It brought back really bad unresolved issues of anger and frustration,” Jim explained. “Right now I forgive you for the things that you said and the damage that you caused me and my family.”

    He then told followers to take the high road.

    “If you have unresolved bitterness or anger toward somebody, forgive them whether they’re right or wrong,” he said, “because it only hurts you to have to deal with that within yourself without releasing it to God.”

    In the comments, a fan then seemingly alluded to Tamra’s husband.

    “Eddie has one foot out the door,” wrote @damnnn_gina78. “You can forgive, but you never forget.”

    “Exactly,” Jim responded to the fan.

    Ryan himself wrote: “Proud of you JimmyB – NONE OF THIS IS OK. #MakeChangeHappen.”

    Kelly then shared her own reaction.

    “I’m Catholic!!! F**K THAT B**CH!” she exclaimed. “[Ryan] dude you’re my homie ❤️.”

  • ‘RHONJ’ Star Melissa Gorga on Kathy’s ‘WWHL’ Shade, “Phony” Jennifer Aydin, and Teresa’s “Big Reveal,” Plus Marge’s Flowers, Shades “Traitor” Jackie and Two-Faced Jennifer Fessler, and “Very Sad” Finale

    ‘RHONJ’ Star Melissa Gorga on Kathy’s ‘WWHL’ Shade, “Phony” Jennifer Aydin, and Teresa’s “Big Reveal,” Plus Marge’s Flowers, Shades “Traitor” Jackie and Two-Faced Jennifer Fessler, and “Very Sad” Finale

    Credit: Charles Sykes/Bravo

    Melissa Gorga appeared on Sunday’s episode of Watch What Happens Live, where she reacted to Kathy Wakile dissing her on an episode of Andy Cohen‘s late-night show earlier this month.

    While also shading a number of her current Real Housewives of New Jersey co-stars, including Jennifer Aydin, 47, Jackie Goldschenider, 47, and Jennifer Fessler, 53, reacting to Teresa Giudice‘s “big reveal,” and applauding Margaret Josephs‘ floral funeral arrangement, Melissa, 45, teased the upcoming finale episode and shared her thoughts on Kathy’s unwillingness to reconcile with her and Joe Gorga.

    “I was a little shocked that she had a little shade to her answer as opposed to being a little bit more optimistic. What I said on [Jeff Lewis Live] was very nice, and it was like, ‘Hey. You’re gonna live across the street. Hopefully, the two cousins can connect,’” Melissa recalled on the July 28 episode of WWHL. “She said, ‘Oh that’s convenient.’ Well yeah, it is convenient. You’re gonna live across the street.”

    “It just seemed like she was trying to throw shade when there was no need,” Melissa added.

    Andy, 56, then asked her about Aydin continuing to mention cheating rumors after apologizing for doing so in the past.

    “It just goes to show you she’s so phony. It’s so phony,” Melissa stated. “She sits down and she tries to have a conversation like she wants to move forward all the time, and no matter what she does, she has to shade Envy. Like the fact that she threw shade at Envy and the fashion show, it’s like, what happened to women supporting women, rooting for girls who are doing things, creating small businesses? I was a young girl when I created that business and it turned into what it is today. I just think she’s so phony in so many aspects, and everything she does is for the show and not real.”

    Melissa also looked back at Sunday’s episode of RHONJ, which saw Margaret, 57, sending flowers to Teresa, 52, and her attorney, James J. Leonard, Jr., as they accused her of communicating with Luis Ruelas‘ ex.

    “Oh my God. That was savage amazingness. I mean, that’s home you play Housewife,” Melissa stated of the arrangement, which served as a funeral for Teresa and James’ “dignity.”

    Although Teresa had previously signaled her and Luis’ vindication, her “big reveal” wasn’t as impactful as she might have hoped.

    “It was like, whomp, whomp, whomp,” Melissa shared.

    Then, as Andy suggested the audience already knew Margaret and the ex had been in touch, Melissa pointed out that Teresa and Luis “had meetings with everyone under the sun, including Bo Dietl, this investigator.”

    “There’s not one [ex], there’s multiple, and they would all love to speak to all of us 24 hours a day if they could,” Melissa continued. “They all have things to say, and if you want to listen to them, it’s very easy to listen to them.”

    While the RHONJ reunion was canceled weeks ago, Melissa was able to share the questions she would’ve asked each cast member on WWHL.

    “Why are you such an a**hole?” she revealed as her question to Aydin.

    “Why are you such a traitor?” Melissa wondered of Jackie.

    She also shaded Fessler, asking, ”Why do you say one thing on the phone and another thing when we’re in person?”

    As for Dolores Catania, 53, Melissa said she wanted to know when her co-star was going to “stop playing Switzerland.”

    Of the group trip she and her castmates were supposed to take to the Berkshires before the home where they were to stay burned down, Melissa admitted to feeling the trip would have been “pointless.”

    “I knew where we were at in this group … I knew it was gonna be a waste of time, so good, we saved time with that. I mean, it’s very sad that the house burned down,” she said.

    Then, when she was asked about the rumor that 60-year-old Real Housewives of New York City alum Ramona Singer had hooked up with The Valley‘s Jax Taylor, 45, Melissa confessed to suspecting it was true.

    “I think I would believe that. Ramona? I’ve been out where she is, and yes, I believe that could be very true. Back in the day, Ramona gets hers. And with Jax, I could see that, totally,” she revealed.

    Moving on to Teresa’s friendship with Jackie, Melissa said she was not surprised to see Teresa speaking of using Jackie for information about Margaret.

    “We all know that. I’m surprised that Jackie’s not more annoyed at seeing that,” she stated.

    Another fan wanted to know if Melissa felt that Joe and Teresa would reconcile if they left RHONJ.

    “No,” she bluntly replied.

    Looking ahead to the potential 15th season, Melissa said she was convinced that a reboot was looming.

    “[It’s] time for a change. I do think the change kind of means some people are gonna go, maybe everyone’s gonna go. So I think we’re all just trying to do our best to try and figure out what’s gonna happen and realize that it is realistic that things might change,” she explained.

    Although Melissa and other cast members may not appear in the new season, there are still a few episodes left of RHONJ, including next week’s highly-anticipated finale.

    “I thought it was very sad at points, I thought it was crazy at points. I thought there was things said that I was in shock,” Melissa teased. “When you think the worst has gotten said, you have not seen anything yet.”

    Melissa then revealed her rose and thorn of season 14.

    “How free I feel and how I don’t feel the pressure anymore to accept things that I never thought were right or to keep moving forward with something that was at a complete dead in, having zero guilt anymore and knowing I’ve done the right thing for as long as I could is definitely my rose,” she revealed. “I don’t think it’s a thorn, but I think watching Antonia going to college and knowing that life is changing that way for me is huge when I used to see her as a four-year-old on the show.”

    Later, on the WWHL: After Show, a fan asked Melissa if she knew Chanel Ayan, 46, before the Real Housewives of Dubai cast member accused her of buying followers.

    “I don’t know if I’ve ever met her. I think I might have met her one time at BravoCon, like in passing,” Melissa replied, admitting to suspecting it was Chanel’s friendship with Teresa that prompted the diss.

    “She went to my sister-in-law’s wedding. She’s good friends with my sister-in-law. I don’t know. Out of nowhere, she tweeted, ‘How does Melissa Gorga have more followers than all the housewives … She must buy fake followers.’ I guess than everyone on my cast, then she said than Kenya Moore, which I do. I’m very good at marketing. I’m good on social. I’m good on Instagram.”

    “You’ve also been on Jersey for 12 years,” Andy added. Melissa then corrected, “I’ve been on 14 years. 2010. It’s 2024.”

    “And also the ratings for [RHONJ] have been huge,” Andy further noted.

    “Exactly,” Melissa replied. “I’ve been on probably five years longer than Kenya. And Kenya, by the way, and I know this because we were on [Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip] together, Kenya, she doesn’t post. I have a store that everyone buys for me. I’m very active on social media. So proceeding that, the same day, Teresa posted her photo and said, ‘I love you so much.’ It’s stupid. I don’t get it. She’s such a beautiful girl. This isn’t the first time she’s said something about me, which is weird.”

    As the show concluded, Andy asked Joe how he felt about season 14 “being the end of this chapter of [RHONJ].”

    “I’ve tried so long, and does it hurt? It hurts. But at this point, what are we gonna do?” he wondered. “There’s a time that you have to just let go and that’s it, and I’ve gotta worry about my wife, my kids, my happiness, and that’s it.”

  • ‘RHONJ’ Star Rachel Fuda Says Jennifer and Danielle’s Fight Was “Pre-Contrived,” Calls Jackie “Laughing Stock of Bravo,” and Explains ‘Has Been’ Comment to Teresa, Plus Talks Reunion Envelope and Jackie’s Text About Dolores

    ‘RHONJ’ Star Rachel Fuda Says Jennifer and Danielle’s Fight Was “Pre-Contrived,” Calls Jackie “Laughing Stock of Bravo,” and Explains ‘Has Been’ Comment to Teresa, Plus Talks Reunion Envelope and Jackie’s Text About Dolores

    Rachel Fuda appeared on Sunday’s episode of Watch What Happens Live, where she suggested that Jennifer Aydin and Danielle Cabral‘s fight was pre-planned.

    After the ladies came to blows on the latest episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Rachel, 33, weighed in on the altercation and shaded both Jackie Goldschneider, 47, and Teresa Giudice, 52, while also explaining her “has been” comment about Teresa, addressing John Fuda‘s reunion envelope, and reacting to Jackie’s leaked text about Dolores Catania, 53.

    “Can we think of anything that’s more pre-contrived in all of that?” Rachel wondered of Jennifer and Danielle’s fight on the June 23 episode of WWHL. “These girls come into this season with a plan and they execute. And that was the execution of a plan that happened before cameras even picked up.”

    Looking back at last Sunday’s episode of WWHL, Andy Cohen, 56, confirmed he hinted to Jackie that Teresa had thrown shade about their friendship, which she did on Sunday’s RHONJ by suggesting she only befriended Jackie to get gossip about Margaret Josephs, 57.

    “She’s the laughing stock of Bravo right now because she just got played. Jackie just got played like a fiddle,” Rachel said of the dig. “She’s posting happy birthday posts and Teresa’s sitting there like, ‘Well, she better do what I say.’”

    In addition to Teresa seemingly faking her friendship with Jackie, Rachel also felt she wasn’t being real when she apologized to John, 36, for bringing up his past.

    “Am I in the Twilight Zone? Is any of it authentic? No,” Rachel stated. “Do you think she really sends a bottle to say, ‘I miss you guys?’”

    “She said on this show that it was [Luis Ruelas]’ idea,” Andy noted of Teresa’s housewarming gift for Melissa and Joe Gorga.

    “It was James Leonard,” Rachel replied, giving a nod to Teresa’s family lawyer.

    As for saying Teresa was a “has been,” Rachel explained what she meant.

    “I totally get [she’s booked and busy]. And I don’t mean her career is a has been. In my opinion, this is up for her. She needs a next chapter. Like, let’s move on,” Rachel shared. “She’s almost too famous to be here. I kinda feel like sometimes where it’s, like, let’s move on to something else. It doesn’t make sense anymore.”

    While the contents of John’s season 13 reunion envelope have never been revealed, Rachel confirmed it contained enough information that she “could’ve wallpapered my 13,000-square-foot house with it.”

    Andy then asked Rachel about Danielle saying she was closer with Teresa and Jennifer, 47, than her and Melissa, 45.

    “There’s really no surprise there. Danielle and I, most recently have been getting really close but at that time, I would say that that’s actually true,” she revealed.

    Regarding why it was okay for her and John to mention Teresa’s jail time but not okay for Teresa to bring up John’s past, Rachel stated, “Because she threw out the first punch, as she always says, right?”

    Moving on to Jackie’s diss against Dolores, who she slammed as a “slob” in a text sent to Margaret, Rachel described the rude message as “so intentional” before reacting to Dolores seeming done with Jackie.

    “Was Dolores ever in it with Jackie to begin with?” she asked.

    During a game of “Can! You! Defend!?,” Rachel was asked if she could defend Margaret for showing Jackie’s text to Dolores.

    “I can’t defend it,” she admitted.

    Rachel also couldn’t defend Margaret for uncovering Bill Aydin‘s affair, asking, “I plead the fifth?” But she said she could defend her pre-reunion meeting.

    “Absolutely. Luis hired a private investigator. Hell yeah, I was [there],” she declared.

    Also on WWHL, Rachel offered an update on her two-year-old daughter, Giuliana.

    “[She’s] amazing. She’s still in therapy. She’s in PT, speech, and feeding therapy. But she’s speaking her little sentences, and walking, running, dancing, the whole thing,” she gushed.

  • Brittany Cartwright Details “Horrible Fight” With Jax That Led to Split, Talks Rumors of Him Cheating & Admits She’s “Not Sure” He’s Capable of Monogamy, Plus If Bar Played Role in Separation, & If They’re in Therapy

    Brittany Cartwright Details “Horrible Fight” With Jax That Led to Split, Talks Rumors of Him Cheating & Admits She’s “Not Sure” He’s Capable of Monogamy, Plus If Bar Played Role in Separation, & If They’re in Therapy

    Credit: Instagram

    Brittany Cartwright opened up about the moments that led to her separation from Jax Taylor on Watch What Happens Live on Tuesday night.

    As host Andy Cohen, 55, asked her a series of questions about their breakup, Brittany, 35, admitted she and Jax, 44, were fighting all the time and had created a “toxic” environment at home before their split as she also spoke of their bar, Jax’s Studio City, her feelings about therapy, and how she’s doing without him.

    “We just had a horrible fight and it was like a veil was lifted and I noticed everything wrong. They always say a woman can hit her breaking point and then it’s hard to come back from that,” Brittany revealed of her and Jax’s separation on the April 2 episode of WWHL. “He kinda woke up one morning and was mad that I went out with [Kristen Doute] the night before and kind of like made up a story in his head and started a fight over something that never happened.”

    Although that particular fight was the straw that broke the camel’s back, Brittany said there were many before it.

    “It got to the point where we fought about everything. A cabinet would be open and I was mad that he didn’t shut a cabinet. It could be anything at that point. It was just a very toxic situation that I felt like I needed to remove myself from,” she explained.

    While there have been claims of potential infidelity, Brittany said she “did all the digging” and “made sure” she hadn’t been cheated on.

    “[Janet Caperna], from The Valley, she like, dove in and was like ‘Let’s figure everything out,’ so we already knew that wasn’t true,” she confirmed. “I feel like there’s always rumors about Jax no matter what.”

    According to Brittany, she doesn’t think Jax cheated on her but wonders if he would in the future.

    “Mmmm I mean, I feel like he has been in our marriage so far but do I feel like he could for the rest of my life’? I’m not sure,” she admitted, noting that they are “still separated” and that she’s “still in the Airbnb.”

    On the heels of the news of their separation, Jax denied that their bar was a factor in their split. But, on WWHL, Brittany hinted that wasn’t completely true.

    “A little bit but I mean, if you do things the right way it’s not gonna affect your marriage,” she explained.

    As she continues to navigate her new life as a single mom living away from Jax, Brittany, who confessed that “lots” of her friends were happy about the breakup, said they’ve been doing well co-parenting their 2-year-old son Cruz as she applauded Jax as a “great father.”

    “That’s our main priority no matter what,” she stated.

    As Vanderpump Rules fans will recall, Brittany and Jax were accused of staging their split to promote The Valley when it was first announced. But, as Brittany noted, she would never do such a thing.

    “It was so hurtful for me because I feel like I’ve always shown my true character and I feel like why would anybody think I would do that, especially with my son. I would never put him through that for no reason, for a fake stunt. That doesn’t make sense,” she reasoned.

    When Andy then asked if she and Jax were in therapy, Brittany confirmed they were not.

    “That’s one of my things that I said needs to happen but no,” she shared.

    Brittany went on to say that her and Jax’s sex life began to dwindle before Cruz’s birth and noted that things between them are currently “up in the air.”

    “I feel like I’m really strong right now,” she said. “I feel like I’ve grown a lot in the past couple years, especially after having Cruz, I’ve gotten so much stronger and I feel like I deserve better. Also, watching myself back, even on the first couple episodes of The Valley, I’m constantly cleaning up messes because I’m ride or die for the people I love so I always try to bring people together and make things better but also people are watching it mad at me that I was doing that but that [is] my husband. But I notice these things now. So that’s the difference.”

    The Valley season one airs Tuesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.

  • ‘RHOP’ Star Gizelle Bryant Reacts to Jason Cameron Being Spotted With Another Woman, Shades Candiace as “Obsessed,” and Talks Cast’s “Nasty” Antics Involving Daughter, Plus Mia’s Inheritance Claim and Larsa and Marcus

    Gizelle Bryant appeared on Sunday’s Watch What Happens Live, where she reacted to Jason Cameron being spotted with another woman and offered an update on their current status.

    While also discussing what she claims is Candiace Dillard-Bassett‘s obsession with her, the cast’s rude reaction to her discussion about her daughter’s college, and Mia Thornton‘s suggestion that she has an inheritance, the Real Housewives of Potomac cast member, 53, spoke of her drama with Karen Huger, 60, and reacted to the alleged brief breakup of Larsa Pippen, 49, and Marcus Jordan, 33.

    “Jason, because it’s a situationship, Jason is free to situation,” Gizelle shared on the February 25 episode of WWHL after being asked about Jason’s recent outing with the other woman.

    After then confirming that she is also allowed to see other people, Gizelle revealed Jason was actually with her in the Bravo Clubhouse for the taping.

    “[He] is here. He’s in my dressing room,” she stated.

    Looking back at her decision to crown Nneka Ihim as the “grand dame,” which prompted Candiace, 37, to label her “Satan,” Gizelle admitted she “absolutely” did so solely to get under Karen’s skin before labeling Candiace “obsessed.”

    “I kind of feel like she’s obsessed with me. She’s on Twitter week after week after week after week talking about me. It’s really weird,” Gizelle explained. “I think she was mad that the crowning had nothing to do with her. I think she wanted to be a part of it.”

    When Gizelle was then asked why didn’t she confront Candiace and Wendy Osefo, 39, for making faces when she was talking about her daughter going to college in Florida, Gizelle said she was “trying to give them the benefit of the doubt.”

    “I was like, ’There’s no way y’all can be this nasty when I’m talking about my daughter.’ So I was really just trying to ignore it,” she reasoned.

    As for whether anyone spoke to Gordon Thornton about Mia, 39, saying she has an inheritance and that Gordon didn’t have a lot of money when they met at a strip club, Gizelle teased that the topic will be addressed at the upcoming reunion.

    “I do not believe Mia but I think that’s what the reunion is for because Gordon will be there. I’ll be asking,” she assured.

    After then noting that Nneka and Wendy’s ongoing issues were “very sad,” Gizelle was asked if Karen overreacted to her room situation in the Dominican Republic.

    “They charged Karen’s card. They did. And she was pissed,” she revealed. “But then she said ’Send me my money back.’”

    Also on the episode, Gizelle shared her thoughts on Larsa’s supposed split from Marcus, which lasted for just a few days.

    “Well, you know, [Alexia Echevarria] and [Marysol Patton] said it was all fake. They said it was a fake breakup. It’s kind of believable,” Gizelle admitted.

    The Real Housewives of Potomac season eight airs Sundays at 8/7c on Bravo.

  • RHOBH’s Annemarie Wiley on Esophagus Regrets, Status With Sutton, Tamra’s Shade, & ASA

    RHOBH’s Annemarie Wiley on Esophagus Regrets, Status With Sutton, Tamra’s Shade, & ASA


    Annemarie Wiley is sick of the word “esophagus” — along with the rest of us.

    While appearing on Wednesday’s episode of Watch What Happens Live, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills newbie, 40, shared her regrets regarding her claims about Sutton Stracke‘s condition, reacted to Tamra Judge, 56, suggesting she’s putting viewers to sleep, and admitted to thinking the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA)’s post against her was “fake” while also looking back at her vulnerable moment with Crystal Kung-Minkoff, 40, and shading her lies.

    “Number one, I never want to hear the word esophagus again. Number two, it was none of my business. I should’ve never asked about it,” Annemarie said of Sutton’s disorder on the January 31 episode of WWHL. “I am sincerely, sincerely sorry to Sutton and I’ve apologized to her. We’re in a better place now. But honestly, never want to hear that word again.”

    Moving on to her drama with The Real Housewives of Orange County‘s Tamra, who said she puts people to sleep on RHOBH, Annemarie admitted, “I don’t really have a reaction to it.”

    “The first half of the season for me is not awesome. So I’m not offended at all,” she reasoned. “It is [an anesthesiology joke]. But she’s like, I put people to sleep at work and I’m putting her to sleep on the show. It was not awesome.”

    After Crystal accused her of introducing herself as a doctor, rather than a nurse anesthetist, Annemarie was targeted by the ASA, who blasted her alleged “title misappropriation.” However, when Annemarie first saw the post, she had no idea it was real.

    “I thought it was fake. Like, I thought that it was a fake account because I was like, ’There’s no way an actual professional association would do that,’” she recalled. “But my association, the American Association of Nurse Anesthesiology (AANA), backs me 100 percent.”

    According to Annemarie, she believes the ASA targeted her because “they don’t love CRNAs.”

    “They don’t love that I am a CRNA that’s on a reality show. I’m bringing a lot of awareness and a lot of advocacy to CRNAs, and there’s people all the time now that are like, ‘I’ve never heard of a CRNA before you,’ and they don’t like that,” she revealed.

    As for her feud with Dr. Nicole Martin, 37, Annemarie clarified that she never said the Real Housewives of Miami cast member was clout-chasing her. Instead, she accused Nicole of piggybacking on the success of RHOBH.

    “I was saying it’s numbers,” Annemarie clarified. “She’s chiming in because she wants to be involved in the [RHOBH] franchise. I never said me, if you watch it back, I said she’s clout chasing off of Beverly Hils. The numbers speak for themselves and so if you can tag along with that franchise, you’re gonna get lots of views, which is what she got from it.”

    During Wednesday night’s episode of RHOBH, fans watched as Annemarie rushed to Crystal’s aid as she suffered a medical scare, ignoring their past issues with one another. Looking back, Annemarie admitted the moment was ironic and “really crazy.”

    “I was almost, like, honored that Crystal felt like she could be vulnerable with me. And I was so happy that I could be there for her,” she shared.

    That said, all is not well between them. And during a game in which she was asked to give a prescription to each of her castmates, she called Crystal out for her lies — and for using her for a storyline.

    “Crystal we’re gonna give some truth serum and a new storyline that doesn’t have me in it,” she stated.

    She then said she’d give Dorit Kemsley, 47, “some Imodium for her verbal diarrhea,” and Sutton a love potion so she wouldn’t be a “one-hit wonder forever.”

    Annemarie also said she’d give Erika Jayne, 52, “a spoonful of sugar.”

    “By that, I mean a sugar daddy. I want Erika to get back to that girl that’s spending,” Annemarie explained, saying that Kyle Richards, 55, needed a “chill pill” since she has so much going on in her life.

    Later, on the WWHL: After Show, Annemarie explained husband Marcellus Wiley’s 8.5 ranking.

    “It was totally supposed to be funny. It was supposed to be a joke,” she insisted. “My husband and I, we’re like that. Like, he is my best friend. He is my person. We are super silly with each other all the time, and he’s like, ‘Babe, you totally botched that.’ He’s like, ‘You’re not an 8.5 across the board.’ He’s like, ‘Yes, in like looks and brains and body and all that stuff, you’re a 10.’”

    Although Marcellus believes Annemarie is a 10 in many ways, he doesn’t like her OCD tendencies.

    “I, admittedly, am a stress freak, and I’m like kind of OCD, and he hates those things because he doesn’t like when I’m stressed out,” she shared. “He’s like ‘Those are your 2s.’ It’s an average. So he’s like, ‘Yes you’re a 10 in all the important things.’ He’s like, ‘I wouldn’t have married a non-10.’”

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

  • Andy Cohen Reveals the Guest He Regrets Not Having on WWHL, and Addresses Criticism on How He Handles Real Housewives Stars’ Weight Loss

    Andy Cohen Reveals the Guest He Regrets Not Having on WWHL, and Addresses Criticism on How He Handles Real Housewives Stars’ Weight Loss

    Andy Cohen has one of the most vibrant shows in late night TV. However, every host has regrets about letting certain guests slip through the cracks instead of having them on.

    Now, the Watch What Happens Live host is opening up about how he regrets not having Meghan Markle as a guest when she was still on Suits and before she married Prince Harry. He also discusses how he’ll stop praising people for using Ozempic for weight loss.

    Meghan had previously discussed how she was a huge fan of the Real Housewives of Orange County. However, despite the connection she would have had with the show, he turned down her request to appear. He said in his book that he said no to the request because Suits looked like “some simulation of a TV show to me like it was shot on tape and broadcast in a vacuum.

    He later told Page Six in an exclusive interview that saying no to her coming onto the show was a “huge mistake.” Of course, the two later met when she had him on her podcast. Apparently, he was eager to say, “Were you silent… or silenced” to Meghan, but she had no idea what he meant. Of course, the line comes from the interview that she and Prince Harry did with Oprah. 

    In other Andy news, he is responding to backlash for how he praises Real Housewives cast members for losing weight with the use of drugs like Ozempic. Of course, there are other examples of this behavior, but the backlash mostly stems from how he complimented Dolores from The Real Housewives of New Jersey. 

    He starts the encounter by saying, “Dolo, you look thin. Ozempi?” She confirmed that she was using the drug to lose weight, and Andy goes, “What Housewife isn’t on Ozempic?”

    The two then banter about how all the housewives are on it. Of course, the problem is that Ozempic is a drug made to treat Diabetes. It has quickly become widespread in Hollywood despite its intended purpose. The other problem is that the widespread usage of it as a diet medication has caused a shortage for people who need it for type 2 Diabetes. 

    Andy says that he will be much more sensitive with the topic in the future. 

    He said in an interview with ET, “What I have been careful to say (since then), especially with Emily Simpson, who lost a ton of weight, is, ‘I thought you looked great before. You still look great.” 

    He continued, “The note (to self) is: Don’t pat someone on the back for being thin, because what you’re then doing is perpetuating a false narrative about beauty, and that’s not right.”

  • RHOM’s Alexia Echevarria on ‘Sus’ Encounters With Luis & If He Tried to Date Her, Adriana Feud, and Thierry Drama, Plus Regrets, RHUGT Cast She’s In Touch With & Housewives Divorce Curse

    RHOM’s Alexia Echevarria on ‘Sus’ Encounters With Luis & If He Tried to Date Her, Adriana Feud, and Thierry Drama, Plus Regrets, RHUGT Cast She’s In Touch With & Housewives Divorce Curse

    RHOM's Alexia Echevarria on "Sus" Encounters With Luis, Adriana Feud, and Thierry Drama, Plus Housewives Divorce Curse and Who She Still Talks to From RHUGT

    Alexia Echevarria appeared on Wednesday’s Watch What Happens Live, where she addressed claims of Luis Ruelas trying to date her before he struck up a romance with Teresa Giudice.

    In addition to discussing her potential reconciliation with Adriana De Moura, 57, looking back on their drama with Thierry, and admitting she’s afraid of the Real Housewives divorce curse, the Real Housewives of Miami star, 56, addressed the change in dynamics amid season six and revealed who she’s still in touch with from Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip.

    “With [Heather Gay] and with [Whitney Rose],” Alexia revealed on the November 1 episode of WWHL.

    While Alexia left season five at odds with several of her castmates, including Dr. Nicole Martin, 38, she said that when it came to season six, she went in with a different mindset.

    “Once we see ourselves on TV and we see those scenes, we are not happy with the person that we see and we try to make changes, and truthfully, I was good with all the girls. I just don’t know how I ended up there,” Alexia admitted. “I think that I’m very passionate when I speak or when I’m trying to defend myself, and we may say things that we don’t mean and it continues to get uglier. And that’s what happened but I’ve been with the girls for so many years already and then new girls that came into the show are wonderful. They all have so much to offer so I was like, this season, I’m not gonna do that.”

    “I want all the girls to be together and I’m gonna bring all the girls together,” she added.

    As for the odd demeanor of Guerdy Abraira, 45, who later confirmed she’d been diagnosed with breast cancer, on Wednesday’s RHOM, Alexia said she and her co-stars didn’t yet know what was wrong.

    “At that moment, I just knew that emotionally, she was very unstable. But I didn’t know what was bothering her. I knew it had to be something but we just didn’t know what it was,” she shared.

    She then confessed that she is afraid of the Housewives curse.

    “I’m so scared. I’m like about to quit the show because all the ladies get divorced. It’s crazy,” she noted.

    During a game of “Do! You! Regret It!?,” Alexia said she does regret insinuating that all Russian women are sex workers, which was a point of contention between her and Julia Lemigova, 51, during season five, and admitted she does not regret trying to meet with late ex-husband Herman Echevarria‘s male lover on camera.

    As for not reading Adriana’s season five love interest’s full divorce document, which revealed Thierry was not still married, as she previously suspected, Alexia surprisingly had no regrets, explaining, “It came from a good place.”

    Also on the live broadcast, Alexia revealed what it will take for her and Adriana to reconcile.

    “I think it would take her kind of like standing up to who she is and wanting that friendship. She has to earn it back, but we’ve always cared for each other, so I’m sure we’ll get there,” she noted. “I feel like she has to want it just like I do, but we were never friends that way so when we get there, we get there.”

    Later, during the WWHL: After Show, Alexia was asked if Luis tried to date her before Teresa, as Melissa suggested at the RHONJ season 12 reunion earlier this year.

    “No, absolutely not,” Alexia confirmed, proceeding to explain their pre-Teresa interactions.

    “We saw each other in Barcelona, but I was with [husband Todd Nepola] before he was with Teresa. He knew who I was, of course, [from RHOM],” she recalled. “We were staying in the same hotel and he was just being like nice, and friendly … He has an autistic son so he can relate to my journey so he came to me to speak to me and say what a great mom I was.”

    But that wasn’t the only run-in they had.

    “We met there for the first time, and then for whatever reason we saw each other again in some other country that we were traveling at the same time,” she shared, prompting fellow guest Garcelle Beauvais, 56, to ask, “Again?!”

    “Yes, we were traveling somewhere else. I was with Todd the entire time so Todd saw the whole thing so it wasn’t like he was hitting on me. He was just talking to me,” Alexia insisted.

    But Garcelle wasn’t so sure, noting that Luis’ behavior was “a little sus.”

    “I guess,” Alexia replied, before insisting, “I don’t know why anybody thinks anything of it because I didn’t. I meet a lot of nice people and fans and I don’t think anything of it.”

    At that point, Andy Cohen, 55, got involved, asking, “[Nice people] that then show up in another country and then wind up marrying… ?”

    Still, Alexia wasn’t convinced that Luis’ intentions were impure.

    “He’s from Jersey so I don’t know why anybody thinks anything. I don’t get it,” she stated. “Why does anybody want to make it more than what it is? It’s nothing, but people [suspect] he had an agenda, and he knew who she was and the same way that he met Alexia before but Alexia was in a relationship with Todd, maybe I’ll move into Teresa. But I don’t think that way.”

    “I think that he of course knew who [Teresa] was. Everybody knows who we are. So yeah, he ended up with Teresa and now we’re all friends and everything’s great,” she added.

    The Real Housewives of Miami season six airs on Bravo on Wednesdays at 9/8c and streams the next day on Peacock.
