Luann de Lesseps is taking to her Bravo Blog to dish on last week's episode of The Real Housewives of New York City. Luann de Lesseps talks about moving on from past drama and dishes on her friendships with Carole Radziwill and Sonja Morgan.

Luann writes:

"I’m not a grudge holder, and I’m able to forgive (and sometimes forget). My inner peace is more important to me than focusing on the past; this is why you saw me chat with Missy (yes, THAT Missy) and tell her that the man was the problem, not her! Like Sonja says, even prison #bitches have one person that has got their back. As for Sonja, she needs a girlfriend, not a #straightjacket!!

When my marriage ended, I needed to find an apartment in New York for when I’m in the city. My good friend Ann Cutbill is a realtor at Douglas Elliman and she knows me well…We were #roomies in the eighties #bighairdidntcare! The apartment she showed me was too big for what I need. Victoria and Noel have their own places in the city, so I don’t need that much space anymore. If anyone can find me the perfect apartment with outdoor space, it’s Ann, because #anniegetsitdone!

For some time, Carole and I had uncomfortable energy between us, and I felt that we should try to put any negative feelings from the past aside so that we can be better friends. I told her that I take her relationship with Adam as seriously as I take any of my girlfriends’ relationships. She was right that the phone rings both ways and we should have reached out to each other. That being said, our friendship is now in a peaceful place…#OHM

Lastly, congratulations to Bethenny on her new denim line and on her successful relief efforts for the people of Puerto Rico. Whatever she does, she always gives #onehundredpercent!"

Gizelle Bryant is sharing details about Charrisse Jackson Jordan's divorce from estranged husband Eddie Jordan and reveals why she's taken a "back seat" this season on The Real Housewives of Potomac.

"She's really going through a divorce now so she kinda felt like — or everyone felt like she needed to take a back seat and kinda concentrate on that," Gizelle Bryant told The Breakfast Club. "But she's still around. I love Charrisse."

Charrisse previously revealed to The Daily Dish podcast that Eddie did not want her to be on a reality show and that he would divorce her if she did one.

"When I told [Eddie], I said, 'They want me to do this reality show'— at the time we didn't know it was Housewives, we were thinking maybe it could be Housewives — and so he said, 'Well, if you do it, we'll probably get a divorce.'"

His extreme reaction took her aback and made really her take stock of their relationship. "It was not the answer I was expecting," she admitted. "So when he said it, I was devastated. Like I literally gave up my career twice because of his career."

A former NBA player turned coach, Eddie's frequent job changes had them moving all around the country.

"We moved to California, then New Jersey, Maryland, Philly, then back to Maryland, and now I say a few words, and you're going to say to me divorce if I do this? So it kind of put me in a different space of, 'Now I really want to do this.'"

Charrisse recently revealed that she's open to dating and has recently recorded a rap song about being back in the market. However, her main focus right now is her daughter as she is preparing to head to college.

Missé Beqiri is officially engaged to boyfriend Jake Hall. The Real Housewives of Cheshire alum took to Instagram to announce the happy news that she'd said 'yes' to the former TOWIE reality star. "I do [heart] rest of my life with you," she wrote.

She decorated her post with a diamond ring emoji, and showed off her own band as she posed up with her beau.

Standing at the helm of a boat in the middle of a beautiful blue ocean, Misse snuggled up to Jake, who was wearing nothing but a towel around his waist.

Meanwhile, Jake revealed exactly how he'd popped the question - by spelling a message of 'Marry Me' out on the sand. "I got the yes," he shared on Instagram.

Beqiri took to Instagram to reveal how much Hall has made her happy since their engagement. "I will love you forever, thank you for making me the luckiest girl in the world," she shared.

Meanwhile, Jake shared how "lucky" he is to be engaged to Beqiri in a recent Instagram post. "Call me lucky" he shared.

Missé appeared on Season 3 and 4 on The Real Housewives of Chehsire and reappeared on Season 5 in a reduced role as a "Friend of the Housewives" in a reduced role. After leaving the ITVBe reality show, she moved to London to embark a romance with former Towie star Jake Hall. The pair got serious very quickly, with Missé falling pregnant in early 2017. In November, Missé and Jake announced the birth of their daughter River.

Congrats to Missé and Jake on their recent engagement.

Gilda Kirkpatrick has been eliminated from Dancing with the Stars New Zealand. The Real Housewives of Auckland star was the first celebrity to be sent home during the second week of the competition. During the first week, Kirkpatrick and her dancing partner Shae Mountain danced the Tango and scored a total of 18 points.

Video clip of Gilda and Shae dancing the tango in week one.

During week two, the pair danced the samba to Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee's international Spanish hit "Despacito." The judges - whose scores combine with votes from those watching at home to - gave her a paltry 6, 6 and 5, a total score of 17 points, which wasn't enough to save her making her the first celebrity to be eliminated from the Channel Three competitive reality show.

During her elimination, Gilda admitted she was "not a dancer", but was happy she got to dance for her kids. She apologized to the Starship Foundation, her chosen charity, for getting eliminated. In the New Zealand edition, celebrities dance for their chosen charity.

Gilda was the first celebrity to be revealed for the current season of DWTSNZ. “I’ve never had any sort of dance instruction, so it’s going to be a completely new experience for me,” Gilda said at that time. “But this seems like a great opportunity to learn how to dance from professionals, plus it’s obviously a great stage on which charities can benefit.”

Charrisse Jackson Jordan is still currently in the process of divorcing her estranged husband Eddie Jordan. "My divorce from Eddie is still dragging, and each day I’m hoping that we get closer and closer to being over," the Real Housewives of Potomac star told Bravo's The Daily Dish.

Despite her divorce, Charrisse is not letting that get in the way of unleashing her inner Sha-Sha. She recently has recorded a rap single and is currently finalizing it in production.

"I was inspired to go into the studio and do a rap due to people loving the rap that was shown Season 1," explained Charrisse. "[People were] constantly asking and encouraging me to do it." The song is called "Too Bad" and in it, Charrisse faces her newfound single status head on. "To sum it up, in a nutshell, I am talking about being on the market," said the rapper. "And I am checking out potentials." And it sounds like Sha-Sha is not holding back: "It’s a fun song. Some of the lyrics are very suggestive with a sexy vibe to it."

The release date, according to Sha-Sha, has yet to be determined, but she is "looking forward to sharing it with everyone soon."

The changes continue for Charrisse this year as her youngest child, daughter Skylar, heads to college. "I’m having a ball watching Skylar grow through her senior year of high school — from proms to college tours — Spelman being her school of choice," she shared. And with her son already in college, Charrisse is excited to start a new chapter in her life: "We’ve been enjoying our bonding time as mother and daughter as I embrace my next chapter as an empty nester."

Kristen Taekman is sharing her thoughts on current drama on The Real Housewives of New York City and admits she's enjoying watching the Bravo hit reality series. “I think that this current cast is probably the best they’ve ever had,” Taekman recently told Page Six.

“I think that it takes everyone a couple years to get used to everyone, and I love that they didn’t add anyone new. I caught up the other day, and this is the most amazing chemistry, ever. I think they finally found the right formula of personalities, and I’m excited to see what unfolds.”

After leaving the show after two seasons, Takeman gets candid about her marriage and the 2015’s Ashley Madison scandal in which it was revealed her husband Josh had an account on the site which matches users looking to have an affair.

“We went to therapy on the show, and I think that when couples are married and then they have small kids, everything shifts, and I’m sure it’ll shift again, once the kids grow up and go to college, and I think we were going through a shift,” Taekman said of their time on “Housewives.”

“I think it was good for us to sit back and kind of check in with where we were and made us definitely much stronger as a couple. Kind of coming out the other end of it, I feel like it really puts you to the test in a really good way, I think that’s what we did, and we’re stronger for it,” she continued.

Will Kristen ever return to RHONY? “It’s a toss-up. I guess it would depend on where I was in my life, what was happening on the show, who was on and who wasn’t,” Taekman told Page Six. “I feel like you never say never, but I feel like I’m really happy with where things are right now in my life.”

Kenya Moore admits she ended up getting pregnant thanks to vitro fertilization. The Real Housewives of Atlanta star reveals that she had heard about the difficulties surrounding IVF: the painful shots, the raging hormones and, of course, the disappointment of it potentially not working.

However, the former Miss USA beauty queen reveals she was lucky. “I don’t have a horror story,” Moore told PEOPLE, weeks after announcing that she and husband Marc Daly are expecting their first child together.

“It’s weird because you hear other people’s troubles with the injections and the hormones. And for me, it was a pretty simple process,” she adds.

Moore opened up to the publication about her entire IVF experience, from self-administering her hormone shots to finding out she was, indeed, pregnant.

“You take the hormones to stimulate your ovaries, you go in for the procedure — obviously you’re being monitored every day to where they need to see how many [ovarian follicles] you have, how big they’re getting, when to extract,” she revealed how her IVF process was. “And then, obviously, the process when they grow to make sure they’re growing at a certain rate and reach a certain size.”

“After that, they’re ready to be implanted. You don’t go under any anesthesia for the process and it doesn’t hurt. You have to rest, which is always a great thing. To be quite honest, the thing that hurt the most was them sticking me with the IV when they had to extract the eggs because my veins are so tiny. But that’s the only thing that was uncomfortable. The rest of it wasn’t painful.”

Did the hormones affected her IVF process? “I don’t think so, but I guess you would have to ask people around me. I think I was okay. I think I felt a little emotional but I wasn’t going zero to 100 or anything like that. It just wasn’t as bad as I heard other people go through. The injections were fine, I got through that by myself, it was fine. I didn’t feel crazy, I didn’t feel like I was losing control or anything like that.”

Then, Moore revealed how she handled the injection process. “I thought I would be the worst person for the injections. Honestly, the first time I did it, I had to do it by myself. I imagined myself going to the clinic every day, having a nurse do it for me. Or hiring a nurse to come to my home to do it,” she told PEOPLE.

“I tried it the first time, and I’m unusually afraid of needles. I can’t look when my blood is drawn and I hyperventilate when I see a needle. I hate it. But these needles, they’re very small. And it didn’t hurt. And the first time I did it, it was okay. It wasn’t any big deal. I just felt blessed because I was stronger than I thought I would be.”

Then, Moore revealed the moment she found out she was expecting her first child with husband Marc Daly. “[With IVF] they specifically tell you a start date to go and take a blood test because the ones you take over the counter, the pee-on-the-stick kind, don’t always show the hormone level if it’s not strong enough … so it may give you a negative when it’s actually positive. So they rely on a blood test to show you how much of it you have in your system and how it’s progressing,” she explains.

“I was nervous because I hate to have my blood drawn. And then the technician who was drawing my blood said, “Did you cheat?” And I said, “What do you mean?” And she said, “Most people go and they’ll take the test over the counter.” And I said, “No because it’s not as accurate as the blood test and I just don’t want any false alarms or to be let down when I really wasn’t supposed to be and it’s only a few hours away, so why not wait and get the proper results?”

“As soon as I take the [blood] test and I’m driving home, I’m like, “I should just go and get a test from the supermarket.” So I rode to the supermarket and literally took the test in the supermarket bathroom because I could not wait. It was just overwhelming. I could not wait. And it was positive. And then I got the call from the doctor later that day confirming that I was indeed pregnant and had a positive test and what my HCG levels were. She said it was all really good news. I was like, “Oh my God, I don’t know what to say!”

Kenya admits she's feeling tired these days due to the pregnancy. “I don’t have the stamina that I had before, so I’m taking it a little easy — not working out and going on long walks with the dogs and things like that. But it’s nothing … I don’t feel that bad. I don’t feel hyper-emotional. I have a little bit of sensitivity to smells that make me nauseous, and had a slight loss of appetite. But I’ve been okay!”

So are Kenya and Marc expecting a boy or a girl? “We’re going to try to not find out,” she told PEOPLE. “We want to be surprised and we want to make it as natural as we can at this point. We just want a healthy baby. And it doesn’t matter to either of us — boy, girl, we don’t really care.”

Danielle Staub is officially married! The Real Housewives of New Jersey star walked down the aisle on Saturday, marrying her fiancé Marty Caffrey in a sunset bohemian beach ceremony held on the Bahamas’ North Bimini Island at the Luna Beach Club, reports PEOPLE.

Among the family and friends at the festivities were Staub’s two daughters: Christine, 24, and Jillian, 19. Also in attendance were her co-stars Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga and Margaret Josephs — each wearing pink and serving as bridesmaids for the event.

A source confirms to the publication that the occasion was filmed for the hit Bravo show’s upcoming ninth season. All were barefoot for the ceremony, though footwear was worn at the reception, where the guests dined and danced the remainder of the night away.

A rep for Kleinfeld told E! News, "Danielle shopped at Kleinfeld in NYC for her Pnina Tornai dress and her bridesmaids wore dresses from our new bridesmaid company, Kleinfeld Bridal Party."

Staub admitted she was a “little nervous” just a few hours before the nuptials as a stream of visitors came by.

“All my family, my friends, everyone’s checking in with me, and I’m like, ‘Guys, I haven’t showered, I still haven’t showered, and I’m getting married today,'” she told Us Weekly.

As she prepared to walk down the aisle, Staub admitted that she was “excited to be a wife.”

“It’s different when you’re a girlfriend, and then it’s different when you’re a fiancée, the stages are all different. When it gets real, and we did our rehearsal last night, and we did our fake I do’s, it’s like, oh my God, we’re almost married,” she said. “This is happening I felt like, when I saw his family last night for the first time after our rehearsal, on the beach, I felt them looking at me like I was a wife. And to me, and my daughters, looking at him like he is my husband. And I think it definitely made it super profound for me.”

These Maryland ladies are bringing it this season and it doesn't look like their shady antics and petty one liners will be slowing down anytime soon, especially with their new primetime timeslot at 8 pm on Sunday.

Every cast (even Robyn) brings there own special dynamic to the show and serves a purpose. Obviously, there is some kind of stigma around the newer Housewives shows but those are the shows which are delivering constant and fun drama while the older franchises are getting dried up and crusty. Potomac and Dallas are the future Y'all!

Someone had the bright idea to film grown women run around in a cylinder of ice and attend cryotherapy, which isn't fun or exhilarating to watch. Little Miss Ashley and her fro decided they wanted to be Mother Teresa for a few days and announced her plan at cryotherapy to take a trip away and bring all seven of the ladies together, which shocked Charrisse because she realised the young pretty cheerleader was coming to snatch her cherry blossom. I like Mrs Jackson-(Maybe) Jordan but Candaice did snatch her place as a Housewife. Speaking of Charrise and her nasal voice, when the topic of Candiace's finances was brought up (again), she decided to throw more petty shade at the new girl and ask if her mom even bought her engagement ring. Yes, it was a passive aggressive joke but Gizelle, Charrisse and partially Robyn, all have a tendency to come hard at the new girls but get offended when the new girls go hard back at them.

At the cryotherapy Candaice and her weave sat still and contained the anger that was billowing out of her head after the passive aggressive moment but Monique (and some behind the scenes producers) definitely helped fuel the shady fire and got the newbie riled up about Charrisse's fun shade during a fashion day where the three spring chickens: Ashley, Monique & Candaice showed off their slim figures and popping bods. Can you imagine having the name Charrisse? Sure it may be fun to say but I've written it in six recaps now and I doesn't get any easier to type, neither does Candaice with her irregular spelling.

After Monique got into a confusing crash caused by her falling asleep in her car due to an (alleged) martini binge, the ladies loaded into Ashley's camping fun bus that didn't come equipped with a strippers pole. If it doesn't have a pole is it even a fun bus? While aboard, a turnt Candiace and Charrisse started going at it again because the cheerleader decided to speak up about the shade that was thrown days earlier about her engagement ring and declared that Charrisse had a shady bitch moment. Miss Pageant should have clapped back at the comment when it first happened but obviously didn't feel some kind of way about it until others go in her ear. Of course, the demoted "friend" grabbed her opportunity for a fight and relevance and used it to suggest that Candiace was calling her a bitch? Ugh, I hate it when these Housewives take a sentence out of context and make it mean something they know it was never meant to.

Shady comments ensued but all I could think was: who cares about where these women get their money? I don't understand the obsession with wealth and possessions amongst a group of women that have neither. Monique is obviously the most coin heavy Housewife (have you seen her house compared to the others?) so if she can stay out of other people's finances then everyone else should - especially Gizelle who's income is mainly derived from her Bravo paycheck and child support which comes from the congregation of her cheating ex. Stay out of other people's finances if you don't want yours talked. Wow, that was shady but I've had little sleep and I'm fresh out of fucks to give.

Gizelle Bryant is taking to her Bravo Blog to dish on this week's episode of The Real Housewives of Potomac. Gizelle Bryant weighs in on Charrisse Jackson Jordan and Candiace Dillard's dramatic confrontation.

BravoTV.com: Watching it now, what did you think when Charrisse asked if Candiace’s mom bought her wedding ring? Was it a shady bitch moment or a fair question?
Gizelle Bryant: I guess everyone’s drinking sensitive juice. Charrisse asking Candiace if her mother paid for her ring was a light hearted joke, but it was based in truth.

Let's keep it real: Candiace has spoken several times about the fact that her fiancé has NO money, and she (I mean her mother) has all the money in the world. Like her mother has a money tree in her back yard. So, did Charrisse really think her mother paid for the ring? NO! But Candiace's mother's money is all this girl EVER talks about.

BravoTV.com: Tell us about Sherman not communicating.
GB: As a woman, if you’re going out of town for a couple days, you always want to feel like your boo is going to miss you. I just feel like all men need to take a communication class.

BravoTV.com: Tell us about that bus ride to the resort. Was your trailer park question meant to be shade?
GB: Since when is a simple question about a subject that’s already on the table shady? I was genuinely just trying to get to know Ashley's history a little better. I was honestly just curious. No shade, no partial cloudiness — just sunshine with the breeze blowing. Next time people start telling me about their background, I’ll just say thanks but no thanks!

BravoTV.com: What are your thoughts about that clash between Charrisse and Candiace?
GB: I said it then and I’ll say it now: Candiace owed Charrisse and apology. Again, I don't know you meet a group of women who you don't know, start calling people names, and then expect everyone to like you and want you to be around. Middle school, high school, nor adulthood works that way.

BravoTV.com: Tell us about your own tiff with Candiace at lunch. What do you think of Candiace saying you’re a hater?
GB: Look, I was on a bus for 4 hours up the hills of Pennsylvania to the resort. I'm tired and hungry, and in a normal world, there would be no talking — just eating. Since all I heard was way too much talking (I mean screaming) from a person that I don't know or care about, I’d just HAD IT. Enough! Just be happy that you’re with the group, be perky, and let us get to know you in silence.

Monique Samuels is taking to her Bravo Blog to dish on this week's episode of The Real Housewives of Potomac. Monique Samuels talks about her car accident and shares her thoughts on the clash between Charrisse Jackson Jordan and newbie Candiace Dillard.

BravoTV.com: What did you think about Charrisse asking if Candiace’s mom bought her wedding ring? Was it a shady bitch moment?
Monique Samuels: When Charrisse asked Candiace if her mom purchased her wedding ring, I knew it was innocent fun. Charrisse wasn’t trying to be shady. It was evident that she was making a joke based on the fact that Candiace’s mom does a lot for her.

I thought the joke was hilarious. It reminds me of how me and my close girlfriends joke together — it’s never meant to be harmful but to make light of the given situation. My only concern was that if Candiace took offense to this, she should’ve made it known at that very moment.

BravoTV.com: The car accident sounds so scary – tell us about that experience and how you were feeling going into the trip.
MS: The car accident was a real wakeup call for me. I’m a very hands-on mom, and I’m accustomed to handling everything on my own. The accident taught me to slow down and seek help when I need it, and even remove things from my plate. For two weeks leading up to the accident, Chris was in training camp with his football team. He had to leave the house every morning around 6 AM and didn’t return until close to 8 PM at night. I’d start my mornings at 5 AM to get myself dressed. Then I’d get the kids dressed and ready for school, and I’d drop them off. I’d handle my meetings, errands and appointments while they were in school up until it was time to pick them up. I would then come home to spend time with my babies, get them fed, bathed and put to bed and prep the house for the next day. At this hour, I would work on writing my Not For Lazy Moms articles and do research as I was laying the foundation for my new business venture or handle late conference calls with the charitable organization I partner with. My bedtime would be around midnight every night and then up again at 5 AM.

Coincidentally, the day of the accident was Chris’s last day of camp, and my sister flew in town the same day to help with the kids. I was completely exhausted and running off of fumes! For me, the trip was a chance to get away and let my hair down with my girlfriends without the responsibilities of kids, work or business planning. I needed this getaway more than anyone in this group!

BravoTV.com: What do you think about the ladies' comments about “Drunk Monique"?
MS: I had no problems with the “Drunk Monique” comments because she is fun! After everything I had been through over the past few weeks from a miscarriage, to physically moving boxes and packing and unpacking, working on my new business Not For Lazy Moms, all of my charitable work and partnerships, trying to find and train a nanny to putting my kids in school, leaving me very few hours to handle work and appointments, I needed a day to be free!

I thought the point of a girls' trip was to unwind and enjoy each other, not to judge someone over a few drinks as if they’ve never been drunk before. I haven’t had girl time like this in a long time, and I wanted to enjoy every second of it. It’s like the women purposely sit back and watch you enjoy yourself so they can pick you apart.

BravoTV.com: What’s your take on this battle between Candiace, Charrise, and Gizelle? What are your thoughts about the whole argument in the car and lunch?
MS: I honestly thought that Candiace was over Charrisse and Gizelle’s comments. When Ashley and I spoke to her the day we went shopping, I stressed to Candiace that she needed to let the comments go since she did laugh along, and next time that she felt any shade coming her way, she should address it right then and there. I had no idea Candiace was still bothered — otherwise, I would have never brought it up.

I personally needed a break from drama and really wanted to enjoy our girls’ trip. I had no interest in the conversation on the bus or at lunch; I was enjoying my food and trying to tune them out! It was like Christopher and Milani arguing over who took the other’s toy!

BravoTV.com: What do you think about Ashley saying you hoped that Candiace would clash with Gizelle, not your friend Charrisse?
MS: I have no idea what Ashley is talking about. I’ve never tried to stir up anything between Candiace and Gizelle, nor have I told Candiace to pick a fight with her. I actually gave her advice to do the opposite. I told Candiace not to pick fights or look for issues with any of the ladies, but if they come for her, handle it right away.

Ashley should focus on her mommy issues instead of creating more issues for the group.

Charrisse Jackson Jordan is taking to her Bravo Blog to dish on this week's episode of The Real Housewives of Potomac. Charrisse Jackson Jordan shares her thoughts on her confrontation with newbie Candiace Dillard.

BravoTV.com: What did you mean by the “did your mom pay for the ring” question once and for all?
Charrisse Jackson Jordan: When I asked Candiace Dillard if her mom paid for her ring, I meant it in jest. It’s bizarre she would read it any other way! She’s was the one who acknowledged that her mother supports her at 30 years of age, and we were just talking about how Gizelle Bryant inquired about how her mother helps her out. I had a WWGD moment (What Would Gizelle Do =-)). It was all fun and games, and I think Candiace understood that until Messy Monique Samuels and Arousing Ashley Darby decided to egg her on.

BravoTV.com: Did you have any idea how upset Candiace was – do you think she should be?
CJJ: I had no idea how upset Candiace was. I guess she has some sort of delayed reaction disorder because she didn’t realize she was supposed to be mad until her puppet master Monique pulled on her strings days later. Her uproarious behavior was totally uncalled for and juvenile. But again, I understand how schoolgirls chatter. Looking back on the episode it was evident she was provoked and felt like she had to had to prove to the Down-low Dirty Duo that she had a backbone.

BravoTV.com: Tell us about that clash on the bus with Candiace.
CJJ: There’s nothing to tell really. I was shocked by Candiace’s outrageous and unwarranted remarks. I meant her no ill will, and she wanted to go to the gutter with me, but luckily (for everyone involved), she didn’t catch these hands. I must say… I’ve grown up!

BravoTV.com: Did you think she owed you an apology?
CJJ: She STILL owes me an apology. She took what I said out of context and made a big howdy do out of nothing - a mountain out of a molehill. She felt she needed to stand up to me, but it was nothing more than pointless puffing. After all, she came into MY circle of friends. She tried it and failed. It takes more than petty insults and jabs to ruffle my feathers.

BravoTV.com: Tell us about this lunch — did you expect Gizelle to stick up for you considering your past issues? What do you think about it now?
CJJ: I was a bit surprised by Gizelle’s reaction to Candiace, but I certainly appreciated her support! Gizelle and I have been friends for years and while we often go back and forth over trivial matters, I know at the end of the day she will have my back and I will always certainly have hers! The Core Four (Gizelle, Robyn, Karen, and Charrisse) are like a family. We can fight with each other… but those outside of the core, Beware!

Eileen Davidson has no plans to return to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills anytime soon. While, she made a cameo appearance this season, reuniting with Erika Girardi and Lisa Rinna during a lunch date, Davidson admits she didn't want that scene or this season and she explains her reasons why.

“I kind of, I've been texting a couple of the girls off and on,” she told Entertainment Tonight. “But I kind of needed to get my distance from it and kind of decompress.”

“I kind of moved on,” she adds, saying she doesn’t know if she’d ever return to reality TV, calling it a “real-life daytime drama.” And while she didn’t watch, she is still paying some attention to Housewives.

“From what I understand, everybody loves Teddi [Mellencamp], from what I hear,” she says. “So, I mean, I don’t know [if they need me back].”

Davidson walked away from the Bravo hit reality series after three seasons to focus on her acting career. She was simultaneously filming The Young and the Restless and Days of Our Lives, for which she won her first Emmy.

“What's wild is, I won my first Emmy when I started on Housewives and won my last one when I left it!” she gushed to ET backstage at the 45th Daytime Emmy Awards after winning the trophy for Outstanding Actress in a Drama Series for CBS’ The Young and the Restless.

While she has no plans to return to RHOBH, Davidson is sticking to her now Emmy-winning work as Ashley Abbott.

“I had no feel for this one,” she says of the award. “I didn’t think I was gonna win. So, I had prepared kind of something yesterday thinking, maybe just in case, but then I forgot it all and I thanked the guy who walked me up the stairs!”

A B.C. Supreme Court justice has ordered Jody Claman to pay almost $50,000 in back child support. The Real Housewives of Vancouver star's ex-husband Eran Friedlander claimed Claman had failed to make a single voluntary basic monthly child support payment since he was granted sole custody of their now-10-year-old daughter in 2015, according to the Vancouver Sun.

Claman argued that she was broke and in debt claiming she was relying on loans from friends to make ends meet. In a 2017 financial statement, Claman pleaded poverty with a listed annual income of $5,806 but she still lived the high-life with expenses totalling $414,206.88.

Her assets include two West Vancouver properties — a home and business — with a combined value of $5.3 million, business interests that include a family trust, Jody’s Fine Foods Inc., and Glass House Holdings Ltd., and art valued at $120,000.

According to her F8 financial statement cited in the ruling, Claman is spending $2,400 per year on restaurant bills and $2,100 per month on personal clothing, cosmetics, hygiene, life insurance, dry cleaning and entertainment, amounting to a sum of over $25,000 per year on personal expenses. She is also paying $3,600 for an annual membership at Hollyburn Country Club and $2,400 per year for ski lessons for her child, reports the publication.

She listed loans from her friends in the amount of $869,730.70, but Justice Miriam Gropper found that her income was roughly $200,000 annually, based on her financial statements.

“Like every other parent, Ms. Claman must do whatever is necessary to support her child,” Gropper said in her ruling. “She cannot rely on a self-induced reduction of income. Frankly, it is perplexing that on one hand Ms. Claman empathizes how much she loves her daughter and on the other, refuses to support her. While the child is young and likely (unaware) of the position that her mother is taking concerning her support, as she grows older, she will be bewildered by her mother’s position that she cannot or will not provide financial support to her.”

Gropper ordered Claman to pay monthly child support of $1,693 going forward and retroactive child support $49,047, plus a 50 per cent share of extra expenses going back to 2015, according to the Vancouver Sun.

“I am unable to calculate the amount owing by Ms. Claman of these expenses. Mr. Friedlander will provide his calculation of the retroactive amount owing and that sum shall be payable by Ms. Claman to him forthwith,” Gropper said.

As previously reported in 2015, Claman lost a child custody battle with her ex-husband Eran Friedlander. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Miriam Gropper granted Friedlander sole custody of the couple’s now 10-year-old daughter.

As previously reported, Parks was let go from the Bravo hit reality show back in May 2017 after she was caught lying about Kandi Burruss attempting to rape and drug Williams. Other reason was the ashe allegedy refused to date on camera at the time after her split from Apollo.

Kelly Dodd is spilling the tea and teases what fans can expect from the upcoming thirteenth season of The Real Housewives of Orange County. Dodd also shared some behind-the-scenes secrets and her issues with Vicki Gunvalson and Heather Dubrow!

Kelly recently appeared on Flipping Out star Jeff Lewis’s Sirius XM show, Jeff Lewis Live, where she dishes on her feud with former co-star Heather Duborw, who also has an ongoing feud with Lewis.

“You said in confidence to me that Heather Dubrow was especially nasty to some of the camera people and sound people when she was filming,” said Jeff to Kelly.

“Oh yeah. Very much so,” responded Kelly before going on to mock Heather yelling at crew members saying, “‘Get out of my face! Get the boom out of here!'”

“I was very like in shock,” stated Kelly on Heather’s alleged rude behavior. “My first year doing the show, you have to get the sound right. And they couldn’t get it right and she was in the middle of a conversation. They interrupted her conversation and she’s like ‘get the f–king boom out of there!'” Yikes!

“I looked at Tamra and I said to the camera man, she’s a b*tch! I was like, who talks down to people like that? Who talks to anyone like that?” continued Kelly.

Then, Dodd opened up about her divorce from ex-husband Michael Dodd. Jeff stated that Kelly received “millions” in her divorce settlement from Michael which she wouldn’t confirm or deny. She did however admit she made off well in a deal that let Michael off the hook for child support and alimony, instead just giving Kelly a one time payout.

“Well, he has to start working cause I took half of his money,” joked Kelly.

Dodd also talked about her recent drama with Vicki, who went on a double date with Kelly’s ex-husband Michael and his new girlfriend, without telling Kelly. She admitted she couldn’t say much, since it will be addressed on the upcoming season, but she did call out Vicki.

“Oh yeah [I confronted Vicki]. Oh yeah. And I keep going at it,” explained Kelly.” I’m not defending her in any shape or form cause she’s a backstabbing b*tch but her boyfriend is friends with Michael.”

She implied she was more upset with the fact that Vicki didn’t tell her beforehand, as she had to read about it in the press.

As for what viewers can expect on the upcoming season of the RHOC, Kelly teased what fans can expect in Season 13, revealing that it will be quite different from the previous ones.

“I think this season is a little bit different than previous seasons ever because it is like full on comedy. It is like a party. It’s hysterical,” teased Kelly. “There really isn’t that much fighting. I love it. I can’t wait for everybody to watch because it’s different.”

Kelly flat-out confirmed today that this upcoming season of #RHOC doesn’t have a lot of drama, which is what we watch for, right? Nonetheless, I’m still excited because they’ve always been m’faves and she guaranteed that there will be a lot of comedy. 🍊☕️ pic.twitter.com/AgkO9RCLBe

This may have been the best season of any reality TV show ever but after six years the SURvers are still being forced to sit on those hard barstools for their 19 hour day of filming the reunion. You'd think Bravo would reward them with a couch or at least a nice chair? I guess not. RIP to their asses.

In a surprise turn of events, Andy decided to skip the awkward hellos probably to avoid the mishegas that could ensue after he forgot to introduce Kristen "Suck A Dick" Doute last year. Katie and Kristen sadly stayed mute for most of this first part and once Lala declared "The bigger the hoops, the better the blowjob" - the reunion was ready to begin!

We learned many things had changed in the SURver's lives since the cameras went down: Stassi and Patrick are no longer together and she replaced the pretentious douchebag with a new guy. The murder obsessed reality star was submissive and meek around him which her friends and fans noticed. Patrick and his man bun always wanted his ego stroked, got pissy when she wouldn't text him and acted like a condescending asshole to her on camera. Stassi cried about wasting time with him but she came out the true winner because the fans and cast members all saw he was a cum stain on the quilt that is life. I'm just happy we don't have to see him on our TV screens again.

Scheana and her new face also had relationship drama off screen when Rob dumped her after the finale to avoid looking like an asshole on TV - too little, too late! While everyone fell asleep, she gave them the unabridged version of her twelve-year relationship with Rob which involved everything from meeting him at a club to making out during the fireworks at Disneyland. Holy fuck, Scheana makes it so easy to hate on her. She claimed he pulled away after the Toca Madera rumour was spread and never came back. Although Rob trashed the show and put Scheana down for it, the rest of the cast spilled the tea to "Sch Shu" that he was on every red carpet talking about the show and trying to hang out with Jax and Lala's man. And there's one answer for that: he's a fame whore.

He probably saw the opportunity to elevate his public image and be known as something else other than Amber Valletta's chubby older brother. By the way, when was the last time you even heard about Amber? His reasoning behind hanging out with Lala's man was most likely in an attempt to crawl up his asshole and get a minor role in one of his movies to revive his acting career. As annoying as Scheana and her headache-inducing voice may be, even she deserves better than someone who ignores her and treats her in the dirty way that we saw him treat her.

Something else that changed in the offseason to everyone's dismay was Jax & Brittany rekindling the cluster fuck that is their relationship. It seems that Jax's dad's surprise death from cancer caused him to want to become a better man and appreciate Brittany's blind devotion toward him. Jax Taylor isn't my favourite person and his behaviour this season was absolutely deplorable but I can't snark on the death of his father. Although it's often uncomfortable and awkward when grown men cry on TV, I really sympathised with Jax in that raw, real moment where you could see the utter pain he was feeling. He also recognised the fact he cheats to get out of relationships, it's one thing to own up to it but it's another to break the cycle. I'd hate to play devil's advocate but I truly think he is trying to change his ways and his father's death is the wake-up call he needed after 38 years of acting like a philandering dirtbag.

While there were some changes, like many reunions things stayed stagnant. Ariana and Sandoval are taking steps toward being more intimate but she still has severe vaginal self-esteem issues and continues to hate her perfect body. Jax denied any and all knowledge of having sex while an elderly woman slept in the adjacent bed even though the house looked like an old woman's house, the White Kanye turned White Ray J continued to refute having a gay affair with his friend Logan and claims to have never taken a dip in the man pond. Are we sure he hasn't taken a swim with his eyes closed while picturing a girls mouth around his dick?

LVP's restaurant with the Tom's has also stayed the same since cameras went down. The geriatric headmistress of the Sexy Unique Resturant continues to hold her expertise over the two inexperienced Tom's heads by referring to them as "junior partners" and not cashing their checks which were written almost a year ago. She also revealed she has no contract with them which as Jax pointed out seems like the first thing you would do when developing a new business relationship. How is Jax making more sense than LVP? It seems she is definitely trying to take advantage of the naive Toms and only wants to make it appear they are apart of the restaurant to market their names for attention but not recognise or acknowledge them as integral parts of the business. It's manipulation at it's finest and may work on her Puppy Schwartz and his messy hair but the resident anime character is buying it.

One last thing that hasn't changed and probably never will, is Scheana's innate ability to make everything about herself. Her conceited attiude and tone deaf voice ruined her friendship with Lala because the only words that come out of her mouth are about herself or Rob. Scheana talks about Scheana more than the Pope talks about being catholic, so it would be hard to have a relationship with her when the only topic of discussion is either her Vegas show, the seven minute man or her latest botox appointment. Can you imagine having to withstand a conversation about anything of those things while listening to her voice? I'm surprised Lala stayed as long as she did

TMZ reports that Keshia Knight Pulliam’s divorce with Ed Hartwell has been finalized, and she's been granted primary custody of their one-year-old daughter Ella Grace. As for Hartwell, he gets visitation rights.

The former couple fought over their daughter's last name as each wanted theirs. In the end, they compromised on Ella Grace Pulliam-Hartwell.

He's been ordered to pay $3,007 per month in child support. The divorce was granted on grounds of adultery and cruel treatment. Keshia was represented by Tanya Mitchell Graham.

According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, Hartwell admitted during the trial he lives with his lover, Tonya Carroll, who's pregnant with his child. Also, Hartwell takes prescription meds that impair his ability to make decisions for their child.

As previously reported, the former couple called it quits in July 2016 just days after Pulliam announced she was expecting. Hartwell doubted he was the child’s father, but she was ultimately deemed his. The month before, it was reported that Hartwrell tried to seek joint custody, but lost that battle.

Hartwell used to be married to Lisa Wu and the two appeared on the first two seasons on The Real Housewives of Atlanta before calling it quits.
