Luann de Lesseps is taking to her Bravo Blog to dish on this week's episode of The Real Housewives of New York City. Luann de Lesseps talks about her relationship with her kids and weighs in on Dorinda Medley's drunken behavior at Bethenny Frankel's Puerto Rico trip.

Luann writes:

"I’m so lucky that my children support me and do not judge! Victoria and Noel are now adults, living on their own, and I have very strong relationships with them both. They never really bonded with Tom, and as Victoria said, “He doesn’t know how to #hug.” I’m glad I was able to talk to Victoria about what happened and how I have #noregrets. I went in quickly, and I got out quickly, and Victoria is absolutely right — there was no lasting damage. Tom and I are still friendly, and I accept him for who he is.

I felt for Carole when she shared with Dorinda that Adam had gone on a date with a woman he would like to see again. It’s never easy to end a relationship with someone you love, but I know that if commitment is what Carole wants, she obviously has to move on.

Sonja is making great strides to rebuild her life, and renting her townhouse is a big step for her. Her realtor is right: For $32k per month, tenants expect perfection. It’s never easy getting a home ready for rent or sale, but fixing all the little things will bring her big rewards in the long run. Of course, she couldn’t resist flirting with the cute photographer. What can I say? Sonja's just a man-eater. #LOVE

Bethenny invited Dorinda to Puerto Rico because she believed that she would be an asset on this relief trip. Instead, in an effort to appear relevant, Dorinda insulted Bethenny’s partners after she drank too much. You would think that by now Dorinda would realize that drinking makes her aggressive. It’s not a good look, and I hope she took to heart what Bethenny had to say about her drinking.

As for living alone, I get Dorinda’s fear of falling and not getting up. Maybe it’s time for her to get a #lifealert necklace? Yet, if moving forward means being alone for a time, I think that’s healthy. That’s why girlfriends are so important.

Until next week, #hugmore!"

Dorinda Medley is taking to her Bravo Blog to dish on this week's episode of The Real Housewives of New York City. Dorinda Medley reacts to Bethenny Frankel's comments about her drunken behavior in Miami.

Dorinda writes:

"Let me tell you a story:

I go to Miami with my pal Bethenny. For reasons that become more obvious to me later, she has invited me to tag along on a trip to deliver cash cards to those in need in Puerto Rico. I'm excited for the journey and to help my friend. We work hard all day getting ready for the trip the following morning. To unwind, we have a few drinks, then a few more. We’ve done this together too many times to count!! Then as I settle in my hotel room to binge-watch my favorite show, Law & Order, order room service, and get a good night's sleep as we had a 6am wakeup call, my phone rings. Oh no! I am meant to be downstairs in five for a dinner. Dinner? With who? Bethenny’s charity partner? Nooooo!!!!!

Why am I just being told this important information? I would have opted out of Bethenny’s happy hour early. But here we are...I am exhausted, and yes already feeling the effects of our happy hour festivities, and yes I should have listened to my inner intoxicated voice and went to bed so I’d be fresh for our morning mission. But I am not one to disappoint, so I put on my Pucci and head downstairs. And....well, the rest is burnt onto the corneas of all the viewers. Yikes. Okay, it wasn’t my best, or worst, that’s for sure! But for better or worse, I was trying to find common ground with people I had just met.

Naturally, Bethenny calls me a drunk. Is she really compassionate or is this just another TV moment? We’ve all seen it before —her absolute glee while waiting for one of us to make a misstep, then she pulls out her P-Touch label maker: whore, drunk, nit-wit, loser. Cue the hug.

My late husband Richard raised millions for humanitarian efforts. In one noted evening at my townhouse, standing alongside Desmond Tutu, they raised nearly 2 million dollars for those affected in Hurricane Katrina. Perhaps that triggered something deep inside and my conversation didn’t come out the way I would have liked. I’m not great at transitions and life changes. Like many of us, at the time of this trip, I was working through some personal stuff.

Does everyone notice that Bethenny not-so-subtly puts people down to make herself look bigger, better, smarter? I often wonder how that is working for her. As far as her referring to my late husband as “slightly powerful and slightly political,” let me get another thing straight: Richard, a man Bethenny never met and, of course, never asked about, was a sought-after advisor to financial icons like George Soros and politicians on both sides of the aisle from senators to presidential candidates. He also served in the Vietnam War and earned a doctorate in political science.

So Bethenny, stick to what you know — the booze business. And by the way, he’s Doctor Medley to you.

Frenemies aside, after 23 years, I am living on my own and focusing on me. It is good and healthy. I am using this time to be selfish and figure out what makes ME, just ME, happy for a change.

Until next week....."

Nobody wants to be the first celebrity voted off from Dancing With the Stars, except Real Housewives of Auckland star Gilda Kirkpatrick. She admits feeling revealed being the first contestant eliminated for the the New Zealand edition of the dancing competitive reality show.

Gilda said she felt totally "relieved" to be released from the grueling training schedule and weekends packed with live shows.

"To be fair, being voted off first sounds worse than what it is," Gilda told Stuff. "It's a relief. I don't have to put up with it anymore. I'm not really good at dancing so I would have preferred to go earlier."

The reality star said that behind the rotation of sparkly outfits and dance routines the judges actually enjoyed, admitted that the whole experience was utterly "traumatic."

Gilda said her ex-husband, multi-millionaire property and investment tycoon James Kirkpatrick, ended-up coaching her via phone calls.

"He's been calling me and supporting me the whole time," Gilda said. "He called me straight after the show and said, 'Congratulations my dear, you are a winner'."

Despite calling quits on their 15-year marriage, the two remain close friends. "He constantly told me I was great and that I should trust myself and have fun. It is just hard to not have a good relationship with him, he is a wonderful man."

Did Gilda enjoyed being on DWTS? In simple terms, no. She said she'd never, ever do the show again. And that's purely down to the fact she couldn't work out her left foot from her right.

"I'm pretty strong, I don't let things get to me so much, but I had to come to terms with the fact that I don't have much control over my coordination," she laughs. "Something as simple as left, right, left, I was battling so that got to me a little bit. I have never had to deal with that."

And that meant that when it came to showtime, the pre-show nerves were crippling. "I was dead scared of the stage," Gilda told Stuff. "It was just so tough, so I am relieved now. And I bet you every person who comes off that show will feel the same."

Her dance partner Shae Mountain said Naz Khanjani is in the running to win the top spot. "To me, Naz impressed me the most out of anything, if you weren't really, really watching, she could have fooled you as a pro-dancer with that tango. She was really on point and so fit."

But Kirkpatrick claims there's no bad feeling and that her favorite part of the show has been bonding with her fellow 12 contestants.

"Dancing is pretty personal and up close and some of the style of dancing requires, even if it is a fake one, a connection, so if two people are single and they are mingling all the time it is a good grounding," she said. "I am pretty sure the ground is there for some people."

Tanya Bardsley is opening up about her own spin off show Tanya’s Extreme Therapies, where she tries out a number of very interesting therapies and sharing everything on camera. “I’m not one to brag but I am the first Housewife to get my own show,” the Real Housewives of Cheshire star told Chronicle Live.

“I’m very excited it about and it’s all about extreme therapies,” she continued. “It was meant to be quite a serious documentary about me trying all these different therapies that can help people but people who have seen it tell me it’s very funny and entertaining. Not quite the desired effect!”

She added: “I do get a coffee colonic on screen. People see the young girls on Love Island having sex on screen while and then there's me, old Tanya, me s******g having a colonic!”

As previously reported, the series consist of four - sixteen minute episodes which is available to steam via ITV Hub. According to the ITV Official Press Release, "Tanya’s Extreme Therapies (w/t), a brand new 4 x 16 minute series commissioned exclusively for the ITV Hub, will follow glamorous mother of four Tanya in her last-ditch attempt to find the answer to all her prayers - perfection of the mind, body and soul.

From coffee enemas, cold water therapy and discovering her inner spirit animal, to unconventional massages and unleashing her built up tension on a car in Amsterdam; each episode will see Tanya endure extreme treatments and experience bizarre lifestyles led by contributors who have turned their backs on conventional therapies. But will Tanya be brave enough to follow their advice in the hope of living a happier and healthier life?"

Tanya Bardsley said: “I am so excited for people to see the show. Viewers will get to see me hugging a cow, jumping into freezing cold water and being massaged by snakes - a little something for everyone! I hope everyone enjoys watching it as much as I enjoyed making it,” said Tanya about her spin-off series.

Last week, Porsha Williams and Phaedra Parks reunited and photos of the two Real Housewives of Atlanta stars went viral on social media as the two were spotted partying together at a mutual's friend's birthday bash.

This was the first time the two have been spotted together since their friendship fell apart over a year ago.

So does this mean that Frick and Frack are friends again?! Williams sets the record straight about her reunion with Parks during a recent episode of Dish Nation.

“I went to my friend’s birthday party – No IG Jeremy- Happy birthday! And she’s one of his close friends and clients as well so I ran into her at the party so it was nice seeing her,” said Porsha.

If you recall, Phaedra had told Porsha that Kandi Burruss and her husband wanted to drug her and take advantage of her. It was then revealed that these claims were false and started by Phaedra. Phaedra was fired from the Real Housewives in response.

Last week we reported that Kelly Dodd appeared on Jeff Lewis’s Sirius XM show, Jeff Lewis Live, where she spilled the tea on her feud with Vicki Gunvalson, which fans of the show will get to see on the upcoming thirteenth season of The Real Housewives of Orange County.

Now, Jeff revealed during the May 11 episode of his show with guest Lea Black and, according to the FLipping Out star, Bravo wasn’t happy that Kelly shared details about the upcoming season of the RHOC. Additionally, they also fined Kelly for apparently badmouthing Vicki as well.

“We want to extend a very sincere apology to Bravo and to Kelly Dodd because apparently last week Kelly Dodd was on our show and upset a few people at Bravo. She was reprimanded and apparently fined,” said Jeff.

“Apparently, the big thing that I think got their attention was Kelly had referred to Vicki last week on our show as a backstabbing b*tch which honestly is kind of accurate. But nevertheless from what I understand, there was a fine imposed,” he revealed. “I don’t know the specifics. But apparently if you call out your fellow [castmate] in a public arena and you say things negatively, you are reprimanded by Bravo and subsequently fined it sounds like.”

“As you know, Tamra Judge was fined. From what I understand, she went after Vicki on social media,” Jeff added. Referencing when Judge slammed Gunvalson over the rumors she spread about her husband’s sexuality, as it was played out in Season 12.

Jeff suspects Vicki was the one who called Bravo to complain about Kelly’s interview. “I think Vicki turned Tamra in. And I think Vicki turned Kelly in this week. That is my guess,” he stated.

Why does Jeff thinks it was Vicki? He reveals that last August, he did an interview during which he stated he felt Bravo should fire Vicki if she refuses to reconcile with Tamra and Shannon Beador, citing that the show had become toxic with the ladies not getting along.

Jeff reveals that Vicki's lawyer reached out to him demanding a public apology.

“Well, let me tell you how I know she did. Because remember when I made the mistake on this radio show when I said she should be fired and I apologized to her via text, she had her attorney call me and they demanded a public apology,” Jeff shared.

Now due to his interview with Kelly, Jeff revealed that Bravo has now banned him from having housewives on his show unless their season is currently on the air.

Meanwhile, Kelly went on to thank Lewis for sticking up for her. "Great show today @JLJeffLewis @RadioAndySXM . Thanks for sticking up for me!! Xxx," she wrote.

"I didn’t give away any story lines !! Vicki had her boyfriend go to @PageSix they gave away the story lines not me and I get punished!," said Kelly after a fan accused her of giving away stroylines for the upcoming season.

Kelly is referencing to Vicki's boyfriend Steve talking to Page Six about him setting up Michael Dodd, her ex-husband with Vicki's friend, which was the main reason why the two are now beefing. If you recall, Kelly found out on social media and felt betrayed by Gunvalson for not letting her know in advance.

Season 13 looks very promising, I can't wait!!

Dorinda Medley slammed her Real Housewives of New York City co-star Luann de Lesseps for trying to give her advice about drinking after the former countess’ Christmas Eve arrest for disorderly intoxication.

“Dear @CountessLuann are we to take advise from a pal who got so wasted she punched her then husband in the middle of a restaurant, followed by assaulting a law enforcement officer? Then Jail?” she tweeted on Friday, May 11. “You almost gotta love the complete lack of self awareness –.”

In her tweet, Medley referenced de Lesseps’ alleged physical altercation with her ex-husband Tom D’Agostino in July 2017 and her Palm Beach arrest in December. If you recall, de Lesseps was charged with one felony, resisting an officer with violence, and two misdemeanor charges, disorderly intoxication and trespassing, and subsequently completed a stint in rehab for alcohol abuse, reports Us Weekly.

The tweet stems from Luann's recent Bravo blog about the Wednesday, May 9, episode of the Bravo hit reality series.

“Bethenny [Frankel] invited Dorinda to Puerto Rico because she believed that she would be an asset on this relief trip. Instead, in an effort to appear relevant, Dorinda insulted Bethenny’s partners after she drank too much,” de Lesseps wrote on her Bravo blog, which was published on Thursday, May 10.

“You would think that by now Dorinda would realize that drinking makes her aggressive,” de Lesseps added. “It’s not a good look, and I hope she took to heart what Bethenny had to say about her drinking.”

Never in my 2560+ hours of reality TV viewing have I ever seen a single episode with so much mess. Fine, maybe I have but in recent memory, these Maryland ladies are winning the award for being the messiest bitches on TV. I don't understand why any Housewives fan would evade Potomac, because although it's etiquette obsessed start was a little too much, they are bringing their black girl magic in this third season.

The ladies are still on their Nemacolin resort which sounds like a body part you don't want your doctor to give you news about. The facility itself was strangely wealthy and bizarre, especially how the servers robotically served the ladies their meals like it some kind of Scientology training ground. What real-life people would actually travel to a luxurious hotel in the middle of the hoods to climb trees and eat ridiculously expensive food that wouldn't even fill up a quail? I'm convinced there's just one hotel and they just renovate it and change the name whenever a new Housewives group want to go on another "retreat," how else do you explain these places funding if it's not Housewives of Scientology based. There was definitely a culty vibe in the air.

After Gizelle & Charisse's fight with the newbie with the annoying name to spell, Candiace, she was ranting way too much and going way too deep about shade the girls were throwing at each other. Either she has the thinnest skin on the planet or she's playing it up to be relevant on a reality TV show and keep a boring beef alive. I think we can all agree it's the latter. The ladies went out for a mostly uneventful dinner with the Scientology-esque waiters where Karen, and the national treasure that she and her receding hairline are, raised her resentments with Gizelle and Charrisse for talking about her husband, The Black Bill Gates, and then jumped down Robyn's throat for getting involved because Robyn Dixon is not Gizelle or Charrisse, she is Robyn fucking Dixon and no amount of weave or Every Hue makeup that can change that. I try to like Robyn and her broad shoulders, I really do, but it's hard when she constantly gets involved in disputes which don't concern her, just to get more time in front of the cameras. Naturally, Grand Dame Deficit called her a ditzy bitch but then gave the linebacker a coerced apologie. For a group of Housewives, they get really offended by the word bitch. In Atlanta "Bitch" is a greeting.

Their second day in the potentially Scientology dominated resort was filled with physical exercise activities which were more painful to watch than actually participating in exercise yourself. Most of the mess was instigated during these activities because the producers mixed up the group and the ladies couldn't help but spill their friend's tea to the other women. Last week, I was all for #TeamSpringChicken but the pre-pubescent ladies of the cast couldn't stop talking even if they were using Saint Camille's RHOBH ball gag, oh and Charrisse, who tried to bring up Blue Eyes to keep Grand Dame Deficit's bodyguard storyline alive. All the bipartisan drama came to ahead at their second Scientology run dinner with their tiny plates of food.

Monique tried to be fake, saying that Candiace went to fair and acting as if she didn't rile her up to confront Gizelle & Charrisse, however, the cheerleader and Little Miss Messy Ashley had to remind us of Monique's previous interfering ways which were supported by flashbacks. The Bravo flashbacks will always catch your lying ass, Miss Samuels knew she fucked up, so she tried to sit back and eat her plate of tiny, cult prepared food. However Monique and her braids somehow managed to slide out of the drama between Candiace and Charrisse when the two ladies on different ends on the age spectrum, gave each other very bitchy apologies, but I guess an apology is an apology! The mess continued when the linebacker tried to be "supportive and concerned" for Monique and questioned if her car crash was a result of drinking four martinis due to tea Messy Ashley had served her. The only thing I hate more than heights and mushrooms is when Housewives pretend to be concerned that their co-star is having a drinking problem when it is obviously a calculated move to try and throw shade and deflect from their own situation. Ugh, Miss Linebacker really does not want me to like her.

Lisa Vanderpump‘s brother, Mark Vanderpump, has died at the age of 59 after reportedly suffering a drug overdose. The Daily Mail reports that Mark, who worked as a DJ, was found at his home in Gloucestershire, England, on April 30.

In a statement to the publication, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star revealed she had only spoken to her brother hours before he died.

“This has come as a shock to us all,” said LVP. “My brother and I had connected the day before this tragedy and I was completely unprepared for this. He was my only sibling and I am shocked and saddened by his passing. I am trying to be supportive to his two young sons that he has left behind, and help them get through this tragedy. We appreciate your consideration in this private and extremely difficult family time.”

The publication reports that it’s not clear whether the overdose was accidental or deliberate.

Mark, whose marriage ended after 22 years, was a regular visitor to his sister’s L.A. restaurants, Sur, Villa Blanca and Pump, and appeared in the 2016 British documentary Gold Digger and Proud, where he boasted about enjoying the company of women and admitted he was “dating four or five women at a time.” He was shown in the documentary with a 27-year-old Brazilian woman who he had flown in for a date but insisted, “I don’t like the term sugar daddy; that’s not who I am,” reports Us Weekly.

Andy Cohen took to Twitter to give his condolences to LVP and her family. "Sending love and prayers to @LisaVanderpump and family," he wrote along with a heart emoji.

Sending love and prayers to @LisaVanderpump and family. 💗

The site reports that "Real Housewives of Melbourne season four is expected to be announced by BravoTV as part of its summer lineup in the coming weeks."

Gizelle Bryant is taking to her Bravo Blog to dish on this week's episode of The Real Housewives of Potomac. Gizelle Bryant reacts to Charrisse Jackson Jordan's bombshell that Ray had asked Karen for a divorce and shares her thoughts on Karen's argument with Ashley Darby over Mr. Blue Eyes rumors.

BravoTV.com: How did you walk away from that clash at lunch – could you move on with Candiace?
Gizelle Bryant: Loved seeing Candiace apologize to Charrisse. It's very weird when someone comes around a group of women trying to build friendships but calls names instead. That never works!

I've never had issue with Candiace and again have told everyone that I like the girl. It's interesting to now see why she was always on edge with me — she was and has been fed nonsense by the peanut gallery. Oh well...

BravoTV.com: Have you apologized to Ray? Did you know he was hurting?
GB: I actually saw Ray just recently at Karen's birthday party, and we did chat about his feelings. I never knew that he cared enough to be offended. I have apologized to Ray and told him that I’m more than happy to come up with a new name. Stay tuned!

BravoTV.com: Why did you tell Karen about the fact that Ashley was spreading tales about her and Mr. Blue Eyes? Did you expect Karen to bring it up that night?
GB: Ashley having firsthand knowledge about Mr. Blue Eyes had never been discussed. It was this huge elephant in the room, and I was tired of seeing its trunk swinging. Karen never passes up an opportunity to confront anything or anybody, so I knew it was coming. Now, I wasn't expecting it to go soooooo left soooooo fast. But I mean, who are we kidding? We’re talking about Karen and Ashley. Their arguing NEVER gets old; those claws come out so fast and furious, power rangers activate!

BravoTV.com: You say in interview that you don’t believe Monique was just so busy and tired – what do you think of the situation?
GB: Listen, it really doesn't matter if Monique was sleepy, tipsy, or horny. It really doesn't matter whether she drank one drop or two drinks either — that is all it takes to make you sleepy and drive off the road. The seriousness of that is overwhelming. She could have permanently injured herself or another person.

Instead of arguing over the number of drinks consumed, there just should have been GRATITUDE about walking away scot-free. Tomorrow is not promised, and that’s why there’s something called Uber.

BravoTV.com: What were you thinking when Charrisse said that Ray had asked Karen for a divorce?
GB: I got very nervous for Karen because I don't want to see her and Ray in divorce court. I mean, I believe no other man on earth could deal with Karen's level of crazy. However, it would make sense financially so that Karen wouldn’t be implicated in any tax shenanigans.

What do you think about Gizelle’s blog?

Candiace Dillard is taking to her Bravo Blog to dish on this week's episode of The Real Housewives of Potomac. Candiace Dillard explains why she now regrets apologizing to Charrisse Jackson Jordan and weighs in on the Karen Huger and Mr. Blue Eyes rumors.

Bravotv.com: Tell us about walking away from that lunch and watching Monique Samuels and Ashley Darby’s reactions to your convo with Chris about it now.
Candiace Dillard: I was DRAINED after that lunch. I don’t like confrontation. It’s not my nature to ever start a verbal scuffle… but I will always be present and accounted for to finish it. I can see how it might have appeared as if I was “holding” my feelings in about the bubble soccer grilling and the debacle on the Shade Wagon en route to Nemacolin. Up until now, I was the fun-loving, energetic, “cheerleader” Candiace – all fairly accurate facets of my personality. What these women (Mo and Ash included) fail to realize is that I am allowed to be more than a one-dimensional human being. My personality is layered and as with any relationship, you will become privy to new and varying layers as we spend more time together and new scenarios are thrown at me. Watching Ashley and Monique in the hallway while I was venting to my susband, I did feel a twinge of unsupportiveness from them. Chris is my rock and I need his perspective and direction to make sense of things. I do, however, expect my friends to defend me and understand my vantage point and it seemed like they were judging my reaction to the shade and attacks I received on the Shade Wagon and from Charrisse Jackson Jordan. I did sense that Monique felt torn between Charrisse and myself (which, I don’t think she should have been) and I can understand how that could play a part in her reactions but I need them to respect me as an independent thinker and trust that I am always going to hold my own – regardless of what “advice” I receive from them. and I will ALWAYS do it my way. I don’t subscribe to this statute of limitations rulebook on when I am allowed to address my grievances. When I get good and ready to address my beef is when you’ll hear about it. So, prepare yourselves with a seat and a notebook. Period.

BravoTV.com: Do you think that Charrisse was jealous of your friendship with Monique?
CD: So much has happened since Nemacolin. Relationships can ebb and flow. What I have learned about Charrisse is that she is a sensitive lady and must be handled with care. While I wouldn’t call it jealously per se, I can definitely see Charrisse being a little cautious of me moving into her territory with her Jersey Girl.

BravoTV.com: Do you think that Monique was hanging you out to dry at the second-day dinner like Ashley says?
CD: Well, you gotta take everything Ash says with two grains of salt and a shot of cod liver oil. But, when you peel back the layers and stacks of embellished drama Ashley tends to pile on top of the latest debacle, I’m not sure what to make of Monique’s intentions. I know what kind of friend Monique has been to me from the time we met. I know how she has welcomed me into her home and how her family has welcomed Chris and me into their lives. I know how supportive she has been of me in figuring out the best way to maneuver this colorful group of women. So, I can’t believe after all of that, she would just throw me under the bus for no reason. I also just choose not to see darkness in people unless they show me the ugly in them and Monique has always only been a positive light around me. What I am more inclined to believe is that she was busy being loyal to her first friend and it left room for me to be “left out to dry.” It was definitely an eyebrow raiser to watch her sort of waffle throughout the episode (she kind of defends me when the fly fishing group was in the jeep but she kind of let me get talked about…) but I think she felt caught in the middle and didn’t want to have to choose a side. I think because she is closest to Charrisse, she, of course, didn’t want to see me beef with her. I think she expected for Charrisse and me to get along and for me to, perhaps, have beef with some of the other ladies. So maybe it was a bit of shell shock when it turned out that her two friends were going at it.

BravoTV.com: Tell us about apologizing to Charrisse.
CD: Full disclosure. After watching the whole situation play out again, I wish I hadn’t apologized to Charrisse. This whole thing happened almost a year ago and I’m over it now but, placing myself back in the moment, girlfriend gave off vibes and she didn’t deserve my apology so soon. I probably would have apologized eventually though. I’m not a complete heathen.

BravoTV.com: What did you think of the Blue Eyes convo and what were you thinking when Charrisse said that Ray had asked for a divorce?
CD: Girl, this Blue Eye’s conversation sounds like some mess Gizelle made up and had Ashley carry out the message. It all sounds so WRONG. You mean to tell me, even if Karen WAS sleeping with a man other than her husband, she would take her salacious extramarital affair to the Land of Oz and suck face with her gentleman caller at the bar for all the world to see???? That don’t even sound right! Karen isn’t a fool. If she was doing some Trapped in the Closet-type foolishness, she wouldn’t do it anywhere near Ashley’s kangaroo casseroles because common sense. Also, I just don’t see Karen cheating on Bill Gates, the Black version. And that’s that on that.

I felt betrayal FOR Karen… and honestly, I felt sorry for Charrisse. The whole situation seems a bit desperate similar to her reaching her arm across the bus for a fight with me. HOWEVER…maybe I’m wrong. Maybe this is how they do one another. Maybe it was okay for Charrisse to bring up Ray asking Karen for a divorce because they weren’t in mixed company. What do I know though, you know? I’m just the Cheerleader…

Robyn Dixon is taking to her Bravo Blog to dish on this week's episode of The Real Housewives of Potomac. Robyn Dixon talks about her reconciliation with Ashley Darby and hopes Monique Samuels makes better choices after her car crash.

BravoTV.com: What were you thinking when you found out about Monique’s car crash and hearing Gizelle say she had woken "up in a ditch”?
Robyn Dixon: Wow! Total shock! The thought alone of not only crashing your car but waking up in a ditch is terrifying and gives me chills just thinking about it. I truly was thankful that Monique was safe and no one was injured, but I was also concerned about the circumstances that led to the crash. All I could think about was how lucky Monique was to be alive.

BravoTV.com: What do you think about Karen getting so mad at you and calling you a puppet?
RD: That whole exchange at that table was baffling to say the least. I really found it comical that out of nowhere, Karen was bringing up old issues and calling names. But the champagne was clearly flowing and talking that night so I wasn’t fazed at all by what Karen said and actually was quite entertained!

BravoTV.com: Tell us about your bonding moment with Ashley at the ropes course.
RD: Believe me, it’s not easy to go through what Ashley and I have gone through and be able to completely forget about the past, but I truly want to believe that Ashley is sincere in saying she wants to move forward. I really do not like holding on to negative energy and anger so I decided to be open to getting to know Ashley and allowing her to show me a different side. That bonding moment at the top of the tower on the ropes course was a very sincere moment that I believe was a turning point for our relationship. I finally felt free to let go of our past drama and start anew.

BravoTV.com: Why did you ask Monique about the drinks – what did you think of Monique’s response? Are you still concerned?
RD: Anytime a person drinks and drives into a ditch is a huge cause for concern. So after Ashley told me that Monique had four drinks when Monique told the ladies that she had only had two drinks, I was concerned. If Monique had four drinks and is brushing off her accident as simply being tired, then that itself is a problem. It did not sound like Monique was taking responsibility for her actions and I would hate for her to be in that situation again, possibly facing worse consequences. Driving under the influence is not something that should just be brushed off lightly and not taken seriously. If Monique really did have a serious problem, then it would have been wrong for all of us not to address it.

I was a little perplexed by Monique’s response. It didn’t sound like she wanted to take responsibility for the situation. “I normally can go five martinis before I start throwing up.” Say what? We aren’t talking about being blackout wasted, we are talking about being impaired just enough to fall asleep and crash your car. And being tired is definitely a side effect of drinking too much. Although Monique talked herself out of this (as she does everything else), I do hope and believe that she has been able to look back and process what happened and vows to make better choices in the future.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards and her husband, real estate mogul Mauricio Umansky, have put their Los Angeles home up for sale again and cut the asking price. Last year, the Brentwood neighborhood home went on the market for $7 million. It returned this week for $6 million, reports Page Six.

Richards’ daughter Farrah Aldjufrie is handling the sale under the auspices of her stepdad’s firm, The Agency.

The six-bedroom, eight-bathroom home is located on “such a peaceful and quiet street at the end of a cul-de-sac,” says Aldjufrie. “I love the front yard and the feeling as you walk up — it just feels like home.”

“It has plenty of living areas and all the amenities, but in a manageable space that doesn’t feel huge and impersonal,” she adds.

Among those amenities are a sophisticated pub with a stone fireplace and wet bar, a state-of-the-art home theater, a separate office and a gym which could be used as a seventh bedroom. The 6,229-square-foot home also has a pool, sport court and putting green, reports the publication.

The chef’s kitchen is familiar to viewers of the Bravo hit reality show, as is the gorgeous master suite featuring a vaulted ceiling, marble bathroom and dual showroom closets, redesigned by Richards’ friend Faye Resnick.

Last week it was reported that Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kandi Burruss was in the works to produce a reality show in Atlanta starring Marlo Hampton. Now, it's been reported that the show got axed allegedly because of Hampton.

"She had too many demands and she wasn’t willing to budge," a source told the Jasmine Brand. "She has some star power, but for a new show, there’s not much of a budget. Marlo wanted too much."

Sources reveal that she allegedly demanded things like “first class flights” and she was, "Just being too difficult to work with."

The show, which was allegedly called “Haute Lanta” was to air on We TV and apparently Bravo may have not been on board with Marlo leaving The Real Housewives of Atlanta for another network.

The show was scheduled to begin shooting in July. Along with Hampton, the cast included Project Runway alum Ken Laurence; The Fashion Show alum Reco Chapple; celebrity blogger Funky Dineva; Kontrol editor Julian Clark and more, according to the Jasmine Brand.

The SURvers touched on so many topics during this second part, yet nothing really happened. Everyone stayed in their seats, drank water and didn't provide us with any iconic moments but we do have one episode left to hopefully redeem this reunion.

Scheana returned from her Jax induced walk like the "professional" she is. What kind of professional is Scheana? Aside from questioning what exactly Miss Shay claims to be a professional in, I couldn't stop questioning why exactly LVP and her dusty muff had to preside over this reunion. It confuses me. All she does is sit next to Andy scolding her "workers" and making bad tired sex jokes that no one thinks are funny but they all have to laugh to keep their jobs. Lisa Vanderpump is almost like a quasi-dictator of a war-torn country because you say one wrong thing to or about her and you've lost your reality TV income and/or your family. RIP Brandi Glanville. I want to make a petition so Lisa and her tired blowout can take a hiatus from next year's reunion because she is just an unnecessary hanger-on at this point.

I fucking hate recapping reunions. They may be fun to watch but every single blogger out there knows it is anything but fun dissecting the drama that goes down between the cast. Most beefs stay stagnant and the conversations jump all over the place, especially because there are no video packages in a Pump reunion. However, in the absence of any big moments happening in tonight's episode, here's a rapid fire of the weird fun facts we learned:

Martin Scorsese watches the show (according to Lala's man)
Faith told people she got Jaxed multiple times. He denied it. The real question is: has anyone offered the 95-year-old woman who watched the incident therapy, councilling or an optional euthanasia appointment?
Schwartz and his Jimmy Neutron hair felt like a possum's prick after blacking out and making out the Lala's friend
Katie went to school with the said girl who made Tom feel like a possum's prick
Everyone didn't know what a possum's prick is
I don't know either
Stassi and Ariana were weirdly nice to each other
Lala doesn't want to fuck a cute guy
Andy does
James Kennedy may have inherited George Michael money
Jax thought #MeToo was women empowerment
Scheana wanted to die for the entire hour of television

After Lala spoke about her man and potential sugar daddy, she spilled the tea on DJ James Kennedy's living situation with an older man who pays his rent and he saw: offers to buy him dinner in a Bravo flashback. WHERE WAS THIS TEA ALL SEASON? If the Logan rumours didn't make you think he had peed in the man pond, sharing an apartment with an old man who frequently spends time in San Franciso should make you think otherwise. After four years on reality TV and a DJ career, you would think James and his chin would be able to afford their own WeHo apartment without sucking some old Gay dick but maybe he likes the struggle of being a sugar baby. We need a spinoff into the bizarre world that James Kennedy lives in and his potentially gay side life. Anything's possible in West Hollywood.

The group also dove into the drama that involved Scheana hooking Brittany up with the hot bar back even though she was still with Jax. Blah, blah, blah. How many times can Scheana and her annoying voice retell the exact same story? She wanted Kentucky to meet a nice guy to know there are better people in the world than Jax. End of story. It's the most boring and over talked about storyline ever and I care more about James Kennedy's sugar baby side hustle than I do about Scheana's questionable intentions. However, the one thing I care about less than the Adam drama is Billie Lee and her Bambi eyes.

Like fetch, I'm convinced that Billie Lee is also not going to happen. It's not that she's transgender because I believe this WeHo based show needs LGBT involvement but Billie Lee's entire segment was already shown in "the next on" last week and there's no rhyme or reason to waste her time or ours by talking about her non-existent drama and storyline. She claimed to be welcomed with open arms by all the SURvers when she started working there which is expected because no one was going to be mean to the new trans girl on the show. If she had been hazed the way Stassi did to Scheana in the vintage days of the show, there would have been an outcry and the word transphobic would have been thrown around way too often.

Bambi Eyes also spilled the tea about her vagina from Thailand but if her "perfect" cunt is going to be a storyline then I think we deserve to see what she's working with. Bravo then reached for a purpose to put Billie Lee on the stage and made the SURvers discuss Stassi's podcast and her date with Jeremy, but no one even fought about either of those things. Note to Billie Lee: if you ever want a second season on a reality show, the reunion is the place to throw down to secure that spot. Or she could just fuck Jax in the season seven premiere. #MeToo as Mr Taylor would say. I could care less if Bambi Eyes came back for another spin around the block but if she does I want her to have some authentic beefs with the cast members because that's how you earn your place on this show.

Ashley Darby is taking to her Bravo Blog to dish on last week's episode of The Real Housewives of Potomac. Ashley Darby sets the record straight on her husband's alleged gay affair and shares her thoughts on the Mr. Blue Eyes rumors.

BravoTV.com: Tell us about opening up to the ladies about your problems with your mom at dinner – what did you think of Gizelle Bryant’s advice?
Ashley Darby: Being in a group of ladies who are mostly mothers gives me a great deal of perspective when mending the relationship with my own mom. Though I realize our situation is unique to Mom and me, it's comforting to have women who show genuine concern and offer their sage advice. When Gizelle said I needed to work on tough love to actually help both my marriage and familial relationships, it reiterated what Michael advised. It reaffirmed that I need to set these boundaries for the betterment of everyone involved, and the self-imposed guilt I felt was not serving me during this process.

BravoTV.com: What is your take on Karen Huger clashing with Gizelle and Robyn Dixon at dinner the first night?
AD: I was so confuddled as to what caused Robyn and Karen to start using all types of French words in that fancy French restaurant! Then when Karen brought up Ray and how he feels about this situation, I started to see things a little more clearly. The Hugers are going through a tough time right now, and the soft spots are extra soft. While I don't feel as though the "dizzy bitch" comment was warranted to Robyn, a hurt person feels the need to lash out at someone close to them. A few glasses of champagne helps to awaken those inner feelings. Two things I was left with: (1) I'm glad Karen is in therapy during this ordeal; (2) whose panties is Robyn wearing if not her own? That was a new one!

BravoTV.com: Tell us about connecting with Robyn on the obstacle course – have you two moved on?
AD: The obstacle course was a great bonding activity for all of the gals because we got to focus on something exciting and adrenaline-inducing together, instead of sliding weaves and brown peens. For Robyn and I, who have had a rocky start from the beginning of our relationship, it was a great chance to hang out and see different sides of each other. Out of everyone in the group I think we're the most physically-inclined so that naturally helped to fortify our burgeoning relationship. I think good things are to come between Rabyna (her nickname) and me.

BravoTV.com: What were you thinking when Robyn brought up the four drinks comment with Monique Samuels? Do you believe Monique?
AD: I knew this was going to come up when we sat down and Blue Eyes became a topic of conversation, and I didn't expect Monique to be receptive to having the discussion about how many drinks we'd had. The focus was not so much how many drinks we consumed (I had four beers as well), it was about discussing if Monique is grappling with things in her life and drinking more than usual. It's nothing to be ashamed of, as we all have different coping mechanisms. Rather than be defensive or hide behind another reason, it's okay to be upfront and consider what's being said. Monique and I had a fun lunch with some bevvies and it resulted in a scary ordeal. I hope she thinks about the reason I brought it up as opposed to getting defensive that I did so.

BravoTV.com: Tell us about this clash with Karen — were you surprised she brought the Blue Eyes issue up? What do you think about her bringing up Michael?
AD: I still don't understand how Karen can keep up this charade. She deserves a nod from the Academy for this performance! "And the award for most delusional woman of the year goes to..." (Also nominated for her performance as Cousin It in "Bubbles and Barbecue!")

That internet rumor was a fabricated story made up by someone who has never met my husband and chose a random white man to pretend to be Michael. On the other hand, there have been many sightings of Karen doing her thang around Potomac with this fellow. But like I said - if Karen and Ray have an arrangement, more power to them!

Karen Huger is taking to her Bravo Blog to dish on this week's episode of The Real Housewives of Potomac. Karen Huger says Charrisse Jackson Jordan's mention of Ray asking for a divorce "was a calculated risk she took to draw attention to herself" and shuts down Mr. Blue Eyes rumors.

BravoTV.com: Tell us about getting upset with the ladies at dinner.
Karen Huger: I was at a dinner with a few ladies - they know who they are - which at that moment, at that dinner, could care less about anyone but themselves. After a six-hour ride, let’s just say my level of patience was limited.

BravoTV.com: Why did you get so upset with Robyn Dixon — calling her dizzy and a puppet? Has Gizelle Bryant apologized to Ray?
KH: With Robyn, I got annoyed, not upset (there’s a difference), as she frequently jumps into Gizelle’s conversations and it’s frustrating, to say the least. Trust and believe, if I wanted to ask Robyn something I would have. I agreed we should not be name calling but what’s one to do when that is the only language they speak?! I did apologize once she had moved on. Gizelle’s public apology to Ray is something that still needs to be done.

BravoTV.com: What did you think about Charrisse Jackson Jordan's comments about Blue Eyes and hearing that Ashley was spreading rumors?
KH: Charisse knows the truth; I would never offer to set her up with a married man. Perhaps she mentioned it to play around and see my reaction. Not sure why she would do that, but maybe she thought it was funny… but it wasn’t, isn’t and will never be. Ashley knows first-hand that a rumor is frequently based on false information, as is the case here. So spreading this rumor comes down to people talking about BS.

BravoTV.com: Tell us about confronting Ashley Darby at dinner and Ashley saying in an interview that you are deflecting?
KH: Confronting Ashley is something that was necessary, as I am a “say it to your face” kind of person. Oh, and just for the record that was not deflecting, that was dishing it out!

BravoTV.com: Did you expect for Charrisse to share that Ray had asked for a divorce?
KH: In a word, no, I didn’t expect for her to mention it. However, I’ve known Charrisse for many years and I’m sure it was a calculated risk she took to draw attention to herself; she loves the spotlight. All relationships have ups and downs; it’s the ones that are tried and true that make the journey. We are in the marriage for the right reasons: love and happiness no matter what and learning from moments during your relationship is what makes you who you are as a couple and as individuals. We both stand together – more than 21 years strong!
