Vicki Gunvalson Says She’s “Done” With Plastic Surgery And Reveals The Pledge She Made With Tamra Judge And Shannon Beador!

As you recall, Vicki Gunvalson made up Tamra Judge and Shannon Beador during last year's Real Housewives of Orange County reunion and after the Season 13 premiere episode, the trio appears to still be going strong.

Now, the OG of the OC recently gave an update on her relationships with Judge and Beador.

"We're good," Vicki told E! News. "I said I will do my part to never, ever betray them and they've also got to agree not to hurt me and betray me. I think we've come to a really good meeting of the minds and they did some bad things and I did some bad things, but we were able to just put it aside ‘cause I care about them. I really, genuinely, care about those girls."

Vicki said "it was a like a cancer, so to speak" in her relationships with Tamra and Shannon last season. "It just couldn't get cut out," she said.

However, her relationship with Kelly Dodd might get bumpy this season after she went on a double-date with Kelly's ex-husband…

"Kelly didn't like that," Vicki admitted. Kelly found out about it and "she got mad at me," Vicki said.



Meanwhile, Gunvalson confirms she will no longer be getting plastic surgery. “I promised [my boyfriend, Steve Lodge,] I'm done,” she told Entertainment Tonight. “I’m done.”

The OG of the OC went under the knife one last time about two months ago for a lower face-lift. It’s the same procedure her co-star, Tamra Judge, got about a year ago, in which the skin from the bottom of the ears is tightened, achieving a more defined jawline and a taut neck.

“I went to Tamra's doctor, 'cause she told me I needed a face-lift,” Vicki reveals. “So I thought, 'OK, I gotta listen to Tamra so she doesn't get mad at me.' No, but God love Tamra, she tells me how it is.”

The procedure was filmed for the new season of RHOC, but viewers will have to wait until the last batch of episodes to actually see it. In addition to the face-lift, Vicki says she also had all of the fillers in her face removed.

“That was one thing that I think a lot of doctors overdo,” she confesses. “Through the last four, five years, as I got older, they kept wanting to [add] Juvederm, and Restylane, and this and that, and Sculptra, and before I knew it, I didn't look like myself. So, I took all the fillers out. I have totally smooth skin now.”

If you may recall, Vicki previously underwent a series of other surgical procedures back in 2013, getting a fat transfer to her face, a nose job and a chin implant.

“I feel great,” Vicki gushes. “And I promised Dr. Ambe -- I love you so much! -- I'm never doing another filler, another anything. I'm just leaving it alone, 'cause he said once you start doing that, it becomes, ‘I wanna do more and more and more and more.’ He said it was like granulated sugar underneath my skin, of all these different areas that had been injected. So, I didn't even look like myself anymore.”

Vicki says seeing her headshot for the new season, which was taken before her surgery, made her feel even better about her decision to stop getting injectables.

“Some people were saying my promo pictures didn't look like me,” she shares. “It didn't. I was puffy, and I was -- I didn't feel like I was myself. They do the cheekbones, and we gotta inject here, gotta bring the jawline down. Just, stop! I want everything out of my skin. I want to be back to, you know, being a 56-year-old and looking the best I can be. Then they tightened my neck. My neck's got no more wrinkles! I feel great.”

Vicki sums up her latest, and seemingly final, surgery as “no pain, no gain,” and praises her boyfriend for getting her through the recovery.

“Brutal,” she says of the days after surgery. “If I didn't have Steve, I don't know how somebody could go through that without somebody telling you, like, 'Take another Xanax, go back to bed.''Cause I was like, my brain was telling me I was good, but I'd get up and be like, whoo. Wanna pass out again, so it was a brutal recovery. It was 10, 12 days, but after that, you kinda forget about it.”

Jody Claman Ordered To Pay Special Costs A Second Time After A Dispute With Her Ex-Husband Over Child-Custody Payments!

Former Real Housewives of Vancouver star Jody Claman has been ordered to pay special costs a second time after a dispute with her ex-husband Eran Friedlander over child-custody payments, according to the Vancouver Sun.

As previously reported, Claman lost a child-custody battle with her former husband in 2015. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Miriam Gropper ordered that Friedlander, an investment banker, have sole custody of the couple’s now-10-year-old daughter.

The judge found that Claman had deliberately tried to mislead and deceive the court on numerous occasions, and that there was an “improper motive” at play. She also found that the former reality star had engaged in the nondisclosure of some of her assets, mostly her business records and any loans she received, and awarded Friedlander special costs.

Several years later the former couple headed back to court in a dispute over child-custody payments.

In May, the judge ordered Claman to pay nearly $50,000 in retroactive child support after finding that her annual salary was much higher than she claimed in court.

Claman had listed her income as $5,806, while her expenses were $414,206. The judge noted that her yearly amount of expenses on food exceeded her total income and the amounts she spent on restaurant bills alone gobbled up half of her claimed yearly income, reports the publication.

The judge concluded that based on her lifestyle and the expenses claimed on her financial statements, she had an annual income of $200,000.

The parties disputed the costs of the child-support applications, with Friedlander arguing that special costs should be awarded against Claman on the basis that her conduct was “reprehensible, blameworthy and deserving of rebuke.” Friedlander’s arguments were similar to those made in the earlier application, namely that Claman had tried to mislead or deceive the court.

Claman acknowledged that her former husband had succeeded in his applications, but denied that her conduct was reprehensible and argued that offers to settle the matter were not reasonably capable of acceptance, reports the Vancouver Sun.

But the judge agreed with Friedlander, finding that Claman’s position regarding her financial assets was virtually unchanged from her trial evidence and that she had once again tried to mislead or deceive the court, this time in an attempt to reduce the amount of child support.

“It follows that she has failed to disclose all of her assets,” the judge said in a ruling posted on the court’s website Wednesday. “This conduct is reprehensible, as that term has been interpreted in the costs jurisprudence.”

According to the publication, the judge referred the matter to the court registrar to determine the amount of special costs Claman will have to pay.

Apollo Nida’s Fiancee Sherien Almufti Slams Phaedra Parks For Refusing Her Kids To See Their Father In Prison!

Phaedra Parks refuses to take her two kids to see their father Apollo Nida in prison — and according to his fiancee, Sherien Almufti, it’s breaking his heart. “Apollo’s so in love with his sons and unfortunately his ex doesn’t bring them to see him,” she told Radar Online.

“There isn’t a birthday, Father’s Day or holiday where Apollo doesn’t send them gifts and write them letters. He loves them.”

“Whatever he and Phaedra are going through, I hope that one day they can resolve it for the sake of their kids,” she continued. “We’re still engaged and I see him every week. When we get married, I will welcome and love his children as if they were my own and I can’t wait until he gets out so we can all be a family again.”

As you may know, Parks has been vocal that she doesn’t want to put her kids through the pain of visiting their dad in prison, where he will remain until August 2020.

Meanwhile, Almufti said Nida is spending most of his time reading and staying in tip-top shape.

“He’s become the prison’s fitness guru. Literally everybody in there goes to him for nutrition and working out tips,” she revealed. “Working out and focusing on his body is how he keeps his mind being locked up and he loves teaching and helping other inmates in the process.”

Details Inside The Real Housewives Of New York City Season 10 Reunion Taping!

Earlier this week, the cast of the tenth season of The Real Housewives of New York City filmed their much anticipated reunion special on Tuesday, July 17th. According to a new report, the reunion special had plenty of drama, screaming matches and meltdowns. Check it out below!

This week, Bravo released the seating arrangements for the Season 10 reunion. Bethenny Frankel and former bestie Carole Radziwill will literally come face-to-face at the reunion, sitting to the left and right of Andy Cohen, respectively. Meanwhile, Dorinda Medley is sitting right next to Carole and Sonja Morgan beside Bethenny.

As for Tinsley Mortimer, she will be seating next to Dorinda, while the OG of the NYC, Ramona Singer will be sitting next to Morgan. See seating chart below!



It was Bethenny Frankel versus the world at The Real Housewives of New York City season 10 reunion taping, a production source told Us Weekly.
“Carole [Radziwill] brought receipts to the reunion exposing Bethenny’s lies, one after another,” the source revealed about the Tuesday, July 17, taping. “Bethenny brought a purple file folder that she had next to her. Whatever was in there will never be known because Bethenny kept looking at it frantically and putting it down. Bethenny accused Carole of writing an article or something about Luann [de Lesseps]. When Carole said show it to me, Bethenny wouldn’t. Carole said, you’re lying. It was a verbal fight.”

A second insider, however, notes that Carole “looked stressed and intense” while Bethenny “was smiling and laughing” during the altercation. As for Bethenny’s folder? It was filled with weekly blogs that Carole wrote about her in the past.

The production source adds: “At some points it was everybody versus Bethenny, except Sonja [Morgan]. She’s the only one consistently on Bethenny’s side.”

As we previously reported, Luann de Lesseps did not attend the reunion taping this year as she checked back to rehab this week. 

“Ramona [Singer] still does not like Bethenny. Since Luann wasn’t there they put Ramona on that couch to balance it out,” a third source explains. Sonja joined Ramona and Bethenny on one couch, per the source, while Carole, Tinsley Mortimer and Dorinda Medley sat on the other sofa.

Two sources revealed that the women discussed Luann’s recent relapse, revealing that she “has not been sober and that she needs help.”


Meanwhile, RHONY executive producer and host Andy Cohen teased the reunion on Twitter, calling it “emotional,” “tense” and “funny.”

Denise Richards Reportedly ‘In Talks’ To Join RHOBH For Season 9!

According to a new report, Denise Richards is in talks to join the cast for the ninth season of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. “It’s not final yet, it’s very close,” the source told PEOPLE. “Everyone is really excited about the possibility of having her on board!”

Richards has been rumored to be in discussions with producers for years, but “the timing was never right,” says a second insider close to the show. “Denise has been wanting to join the show for a long time.”

“She’s a huge Housewives fan and watches all of the shows,” says the insider. “And she has close relationships with many of the women in real life, including Kyle Richards and Lisa Rinna. The timing was never right for her in the past, but the producers needed to shake the dynamic of the show up after a season without much conflict. She’s going to be a great fit. She’s not afraid of the drama. And she lives a glamorous, Hollywood life — which the show looks for.”

Richards is no stranger to reality television. Her show Denise Richards: It’s Complicated, ran for two seasons on E! before ending in 2009.

Richards is a mother of three daughters: Sam, 14, Lola, 13 and Eloise, 7. (Sam and Lola’s dad is Richards’ ex husband Charlie Sheen.)

Meanwhile, E! News reports that Richards is currently "being tested" for the Bravo hit reality series and "the only new person" in possible talks to join the cast. "They're hoping for a casting similar to Lisa Rinna's," the source explains. "Someone who's already famous with an interesting [and] unusual family life."

A second source confirmed that Richards is being heavily considered to be on the next season and has already been filmed with her children. The source said producers think she will have a great storyline and draw audience interest and that the cast already knows they will confirm her soon and that they are finalizing her contract.

Vicki Gunvalson Settling Vodka Lawsuit After Six-Year Court Battle!

According to a new report, Vicki Gunvalson is in the process of settling with her ex-business partner after a six-year court battle over Vicki’s Vodka. According to court documents obtained by Radar Online from United States District Court of Nevada, the Real Housewives of Orange County star and Robert Williamson III informed the court that they reached settlement terms on March 19, 2018.

“In light of settlement terms having been achieved, it is requested that matters by and between such parties, including the pending Plaintiff’s Motion to Rescind Interlocutory Judgment for Attorney’s Fees and Defendant Gunvalson’s Ex Parte Application for Order to Leave to Submit Late Opposition be abated until further notice,” the court papers request.

The parties agreed to attend a status conference for the dismissal of claims. Their next status conference is scheduled for August 20, 2018 at 3:30PM.

As explained in the court papers, Williamson’s Chapter 13 Trustee and the Bankruptcy Court in the District of Arizona must approve the settlement.

READ THE COURT DOCUMENTS VIA RADAR ONLINE HERE!

If you recall back in June 2013, Robert Williamson III filed a lawsuit against Gunvalson for fraud, civil conspiracy, breach of contract, breach of covenant of good faith dealings, misrepresentation and unjustly enriching herself, and intentionally inflicting emotional distress on him.

He claimed she failed to promote Vicki’s Vodka. Williamson declared Chapter 13 bankruptcy in January 2016. Per the terms of the bankruptcy, he is not responsible to pay back all his debts during the proceedings. Gunvalson will be an exception because she filed documents asking for her civil lawsuit to be unfrozen so she can continue to fight for her money.

Gunvalson’s ex-boyfriend Brooks Ayers was also listed as one of defendants. He was accused of breach of contract. In 2015, a federal judge dismissed the lawsuit and ordered Williamson pay Ayers $132,641 in legal fees. He transferred the rights of the judgment to Gunvalson.

But Gunvalson was never awarded the judgment. That’s when Williamson filed for bankruptcy, claiming he had only $806,000 in assets. Gunvalson then accused him of lying about his assets in an April 13, 2016 filing, reports Radar Online.

RHOCheshire Star Tanya Bardsley Opens Up About Her Battle With Incontinence!

Tanya Bardsley recently opened up about her battle with incontinence during an appearance on Loose Women. The Real Housewives of Cheshire star told the panel that she decided to have a 3D-Vjuve treatment - a vagina rejuvenation procedure after an unfortunate accident at a children's trampolining party.

Tanya admitted her incontinence had run in the family, but gradually got worse after she welcomed each child, adding that her decision to speak out came from the ongoing taboo around the subject, according to The Daily Mail.

"My nan and my mum they used to not even say ''do you want to go to the toilet.'' Then I had children and I was getting looser and looser," she shared on the daytime talk show. "After my fourth baby I went to a trampoline party and after two jumps and I was soaked. And I said to my kids ''we need to go'' and they were like ''no!''

"I was like why does no one speak about it? Sneezing or coughing you go into the brace position."



"I've had this surgical laser, I tried this first and it's really done everything for me. I tried pelvic floors and any exercise I'm like," she said before making a grimace expression.

Tanya added that during her nine-year battle with the problem she suffered low points, especially when it began to affect outings with husband of three years Phil.

"It did really get me down and you're with your husband you spend money on a nice outfit for a day at the races and you're like no not again," she said. "I thought I was going to all fall out if I've had another one. But even my husband's had enough and he said I'm having a snip!"

Tanya also shared a hilarious tale around her husband's case of mistaken identity, when he thought her placenta was actually another child, and left the panel in hysterics with an imitation of her horrified expression, reports the publication of Bardsley's Loose Women segment.

Ampika Pickston has revealed she is engaged following a whirlwind romance with a mystery man. The former Real Housewives of Cheshire star met the businessman, whom she did not want to name, through an online dating website and he recently popped the question after just a 'short time' together.

The reality star described her fiancé as a 'breath of fresh air' who 'gets on fantastically well' with her 12-year-old son, Jake.

"He's got his own thing going on, he sold his business 10 years ago. He's a breath of fresh air; he gets on fantastically with my son; he is really easy going.  Personality-wise, I think we're perfect together," she told The Daily Mail. "He makes me laugh and I think we want the same things."

Pickston revealed that she met her fiancé through dating service, The Time Dating. However, despite their recent engagement, the couple is focusing on continuing to get to know each other, rather than setting a date.

"I'm focusing on working really hard on my business and I don't know if I want to commit straight away," she added. "I've only been dating this person for a very short amount of time. So I'm frightened to rush in head first. I want to see how it blossoms before making a commitment as big as that."

Vicki Gunvalson reveals she's providing a shoulder for Shannon Beador to lean on as she goes through her nasty divorce from her ex-husband David Beador. “The financial demise that happens — they call it financial suicide when you get divorced,” the Real Housewives of Orange County star told Page Six. “She’s got that going on.”

“The emotions and him dating [other women] so quickly, it’s a lot. It’s a lot to take. Having it all be public is hard on her but she’s really been good. I’m really proud of her. I think you’re gonna see her journey this season.”

Gunvalson revealed she began patching up her relationship with Shannon and Tamra Judge after the Season 12 reunion of the Bravo hit reality series.

“It’s been going great,” Gunvalson told Page Six. “We had a great season this year as friends and I just hope we stay that way. I told them, I own my part in what I did wrong and now I just gotta learn from that. And I think they did too. It’ll be good.”

If you recall, Shannon announced her split from David after 17 years of marriage in October 2017. The RHOC star filed for divorce in December.

Last week, Shannon confirmed on “Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen” that she did not sign a prenup before tying the knot.

“I just want a fair settlement. That’s all I want,” she told the late-night talk show host.

Luann de Lesseps Breaks Her Silence After Checking Into Rehab: “Never Regret A Day In Your Life”

Luann de Lesseps appears to have no regrets about checking back into rehab. The Real Housewives of New York City star shared a photo of a picturesque boardwalk sunset on her Instagram Story on  Friday, July 20, according to Us Weekly along with the quote:

“Never regret a day in your life: good days give happiness, bad days give experience, worst days give lessons, and best days give memories.”


The post comes less than a week after Bravo confirmed that the former Countess had checked back into rehab following six months of sobriety. Luann was unable to attend The Real Housewives of New York City Season 10 reunion taping since she checked back into rehab.

Andy Cohen and some of Luann's fellow Housewives came to her defense and showed their support.

Tinsley revealed that she was "totally in shock" when she heard about Lu's struggles during her appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen Wednesday night.

Tinsley went on to say that she was proud to see Luann come out on top after her arrest in Palm Beach, Florida last Christmas Eve, just as she had done following her own brush with the law in 2016. "I had a mugshot in Palm Beach, too, and I just feel like I turned it around, and I felt like she was doing that. I felt like the cabaret show is so amazing, and I was just so proud of her," Tinsley said. "It's just sad. I wish her the best, and I hope she can work everything out."

"It's so sad that she's not here. I feel so badly for her. I really had no idea that it is as serious, I guess, as it is, and I feel really sad for her, and I hope she gets well. And she's taking obviously the right steps to do so," Tinsley told The Daily Dish prior to filming the reunion. "A relapse happens all the time and is part of sort of the program of it. So we'll see, and hopefully she can get out of it, be happy, and be fine."



"I literally cried over it. I cried when I heard," Dorinda Medley told Bravo's The Daily Dish. "I wrote her a text, a quick text, but I haven't heard back, so I'm just gonna pray for her, think about her. She's here in thought."

She also added about Luann not attending this season's reunion, "I really feel bad that Lu's not gonna be there."

Meanwhile, Luann also got some love and support for the OG of the OC herself, Vicki Gunvalson.

"That makes me sad," the Real Housewives of Orange County star told E!'s Daily Pop. "I think the whole exposure of going out and trying to stay sober and not have a cocktail when you have an issue is really difficult—especially in the social scene that we're all in. So I'm sorry to hear that."

Andy Cohen addressed the matter on his Sirium XM radio show, Radio Andy Live. “[Luann is] making the decision that is healthy for herself and you can do nothing but support that,” Andy said, according to Us Weekly. “She’s been through it. We send our love to Luann and support our decision.”

A Bravo spokesperson confirmed Luann's return to rehab: “Bravo supports Luann’s decision to focus on her health. She is part of the Bravo family and we continue to stand by her as she copes with this challenging situation. At this time, we hope everyone will respect her privacy.”

Luann's co-star Bethenny Frankel has also shown her support. The Skinnygirl mogul, whom Luann authorized to speak on her behalf, also spoke about her friend to PEOPLE. “This weekend, Luann was surrounded by her girlfriends and decided — with their support — that in light of recent circumstances, it is the healthiest choice for her not to attend Tuesday’s reunion taping so that she can continue in her healing process,” Bethenny said. “Luann is now surrounded by a core group of people who truly have her best interests at heart and who are working to make sure she gets the help she needs.”

“Recent additional family stress was a catalyst to her taking a break,” Frankel says.

Luann decision to return to rehab comes days after it was reported that her first ex-husband, Alexandre de Lesseps, her daughter, Victoria de Lesseps, and son, Noel de Lesseps, filed a lawsuit against her over an $8 million house sale. According to court documents, she breached a stipulation of settlement in her divorce by failing to create a trust “for the benefit of her two children.”

A source told Us Weekly that de Lesseps “went to treatment to deal with her emotional trauma from her marriages and using alcohol as a coping mechanism” and that she “thinks she can add drinking slowly back into her life once she feels healed.”

We are still in France and the drama is still raging on. The problem I have with this show is that the drama is good and entertaining but I just don't like the majority of the women. They don't have the magic of their sister cities talent and most of the women just suck.

The Green-Eyed Bandits give me a migraine, I'm disappointed in Ashley for climbing up their asses and renting a small apartment in the crevice of Robyn's muscular buttocks and Charrisse "Eeyore" Jackson-Jordan is one of the most low energy characters on reality TV and fills a weird space in the background. That only leaves Karen, Monique and Candiace and I've still had my reservations about those batches this season as well. 

The newbie Candiace is starting to grow on me. I liked her from the start with her boughy life, white fiance with brown genitalia and her semi extra behaviour and while I thought she wasn't experienced enough to run with this crowd, I'm changing my mind, maybe it's from her humour and clap back game around "Brown Dick's" faux nude pics, I don't know. She doesn't need to have children or be married to understand the struggle or fit in with these women. The interesting thing about the Housewives is how a "group of friends" are always comprised with women from different ages and life experience, so Candiace is important to this group and does serve a purpose, even if she doesn't come with the challenges the other girls have faced. After struggling to fit into the group she tried to confront the Green-Eyed Bandits and their asshole puppet Ashley who made Candiace wait to talk while they took a photo and treated their red-headed little step sister. They feel like they can shit on her and are above her which I'm not here for at all. 

I'm all for good lighting on Instagram but did they have to be so obnoxious about it? Grand Dame Deficit Karen Huger had to coach the pageant princess into how to confront the girls as she started crying from their mean girl ways. Here's a tip for Candiace: when you are going to bring up an issue, do not cry, it only makes those bitches pounce and double down on their shitty ways when they see tears rolling down someone's face. Her beef with them was that they don't take her seriously and have only seen one side of her, which would've been good for them to say they will try again in the future but the Green-Eyed Bitches just defended their shitty ways instead of just trying to end the conversation. I want Candiace to stay around this group but the majority of them seem like they don't really want her there, maybe they're jealous a young pretty pageant queen took their friend Eeyore's cherry blossom? I don't know, but for season four Candiace needs to try not being so extra and be a more authentic side of herself, owning her princess ways which I think will make her more relatable amongst the women and fans. 

Speaking of the girl whose cherry blossom she stole: Charrisse. Ugh. I like Charrisse and her nasally impaired voice but now I definitely understand why she was exiled to a part-time position. Her and Monique once again discussed who wanted to bring Kyndall onto the show but Charrisse continued to deny any responsibility and didn't own it, which is Rule One in the Housewives Playbook. Obviously, Charrisse was still pissed at Gizelle and wanted to ruffle her feathers by bringing her boyfriend's ex onto the show and Monique cosigned because she also wanted to see Gizelle step in shit. It's totally normal in Housewives land to have a sneaky behind-the-scenes plan of attack but their plan is blowing up in their faces and no one (mainly Charrisse) is ready to own up to their behaviour. She just denies any responsibility and wiggles out of situations without getting in trouble but not squashing the issue, it's just confusing watching Charrisse on my screen and she should probably just spend season four in her champagne instead of getting in front of cameras. 

Between Candiace's beef with the Green-Eyed Bandits and Charrisse's inability to contribute anything to this show, the ladies continued to fight with Karen. Miss Huger doesn't always tell the truth and tries to hide her life from the cameras, why are they still trying to press the issue? If the ladies know this about her then what's the point of continuing because they aren't going to get anywhere. Karen and Ashley faced off in the car on the way from the winery to their hotel and car fights are definitely the best kinds of Housewives fights. Do I need to remind you of that epic OC car ride? I'm not even sure what they are fighting about at this point. Money and their husbands I guess? Karen's husband the Black Bill Gates obviously spilled some tea about moving to Florida to Ashley's husband off camera and she tried to use it as leverage against Karen which was messy as fuck and just unnecessary. Ashley is so fucking messy she needs Niecy Nash and the cast of Clean House to help fix her life. 

As per usual, Karen continued to make memeable moments in this fight which she has done all season long. From calling her marriage an institution to shading Ashley to filth she continued to act in her memeable ways. How does your marriage become an institution? What the fuck does that mean? Is there an online enrollment form you have to fill out and wait in line at DMV? I'm confused. Karen is always attacked about two things: her money and her man, so why the fuck did she take off her wedding ring while on the trip and then make up a fake story about shoving her ring in her "hoo haa" when getting robbed and then claiming that she believed her "hoo haa" was her boobs and not her vagina. What sex ed class did Karen get on that farm?

Gizelle Bryant Says She “Enjoyed EVERY Minute Of” Ashley Darby And Karen Huger’s Fight And Calls Monique Samuels “Self-Absorbed And Conceited”

Gizelle Bryant is taking to her Bravo Blog to dish on this week's episode of The Real Housewives of Potomac. Gizelle Bryant talks about her sit-down with Monique Samuels and shares her thoughts on Ashley Darby's fight with Karen Huger.

BravoTV.com: How did you feel leaving that breakfast with Monique Samuels?
Gizelle Bryant: The pancakes were good but Monique’s apology was NOT. I don’t know ANYONE who has an excuse for EVERYTHING. Who walks around unable to admit that they are guilty about their own horrible behavior. For the 100th time, Monique brought my boyfriend’s (because at the time she didn’t know that Sherman and I broke up) ex-wife around to try to hurt me and my relationship. She refuses to admit it which leads me to believe she needs a big gold trophy for being self-absorbed and conceited.

BravoTV.com: Talk a bit about this moment in which Candiace Dillard confronted you, Robyn Dixon, and Ashley Darby at the winery.
GB: Candiace! GIRL!!! Timing is not your friend and I swear the next time see you I will introduce you to her. She is always dressed to the nines and smells pretty and she jumps out from nowhere when you start talking at the wrong time to shut you up. Her name is called Lady Wisdom. If Candiace had better timing, less hand movements and more bass in her voice she would be unstoppable.

BravoTV.com: How did it feel being in the car while Ashley and Karen Huger had their feud? 
GB: Now Ashley and Karen know how to have an argument. They don’t talk over each other they listen, think and then speak. They use huge college words (well, just Ashley) to proceed to smack each other upside the head. If I was a nicer, kinder woman I would have tried to get them to stop but well, ummmm, I enjoyed EVERY minute of it. It went on for a LONG time and it was EPIC. Lord knows I laughed for a good two days. It wasn’t that I was laughing at the fact that it was such a monumental verbal battle, I was just laughing at the fact that I was witnessing a monumental verbal battle. HA!

BravoTV.com: Do you agree with what Candiace said about Ashley and Robyn being different around her depending on if you are around or not?
GB: I think Candiace wanting to blame the fact that two people are ignoring the crap out of her on me is cute, if I were her I might do the same thing. However, Candiace needs to be clear of the raw and dirty facts, Robyn and Ashley were mean to her all by themselves because Candiace actually annoys the crap out of them. I do a lot of things but influencing Robyn and Ashley to be MORE annoyed by her voice, nope Candiace you’re on your own honey.

BravoTV.com: How did you feel being able to clear things finally in the air with Charrisse? Do you believe that you were finally good and able to move on? 
GB: Look, Charrisse and I have a long history and nothing can change that. I totally love her and for whatever reason, I really don’t mind her taking shots at me. The difference with her and some of the other ladies is that Charrisse will own her mess and address the situation head-on instead of hiding behind lies and loud talking. Charrisse is a great person and we will always be good.

Robyn Dixon Says “It Is Very Clear That” Candiace Dillard “Has Been Drinking Too Much Of Monique’s Hateful Kool-Aid” And Admits The “Blowup” Between Ashley Darby And Karen Huger “Was One Of The Most Entertaining Arguments I Have Ever Witnessed”

Robyn Dixon is taking to her Bravo Blog to dish on this week's episode of The Real Housewives of Potomac. Robyn Dixon opens up about being confronted by Candiace Dillard and shares her thoughts on Ashley Darby's fight with Karen Huger.

BravoTV.com: Talk a bit about this moment in which Candiace Dillard confronted you and Ashley Darby at the winery.
Robyn Dixon: That was such a strange moment! I could not for the life of me figure out what the hell Candiace was talking about. I had no clue that Candiace and I had an issue so when she confronted us at the winery, I didn’t realize that there was even a need to have a serious conversation about anything. I just wanted to take my pics and go back to the hotel, not have a heart-to-heart about much ado about nothing!

BravoTV.com: How did it feel being in the car while Ashley and Karen Huger had their feud? What were you thinking when Candiace jumped in during that fight? 
RD: O. M. G. That blowup between Ashley and Karen came straight out of nowhere but was one of the most entertaining arguments I have ever witnessed. I mean, it just kept going and going and going! I was pretty exhausted while in the van so I don’t know how Ashley and Karen even had the energy to keep going at it. Candiace really needed to stay out of that argument. Those two have been going at it for years, so nothing Candiace had to say had any relevance or importance.

BravoTV.com: Do you agree with what Candiace said about you and Ashley being different around her depending on if Gizelle Bryant is around or not?
RD: No, I don’t agree with one word Candiace said about me being different around her when Gizelle is around. I can’t think of one time when anything like that occurred with Candiace. Did I have anything critical to say to her about her man’s penis? NO. Her mother’s financial involvement? NO. Her woe is me I’m a princess story? NO. I never had a conflict with Candiace nor treated her with disrespect. It is very clear that Candiace had been drinking too much of Monique’s hateful Kool-Aid and believed the “Robyn and Gizelle are mean girls” narrative that she created and spews on a regular.

BravoTV.com: How did you and Ashley decide to add the umbrella moment into your dance for Monique Samuels?
RD: Ashley and I love to be silly and have fun so when we found out we were throwing a burlesque themed party for Monique, we both jumped at the chance to do something fun. Considering the fact that I can’t dance very well and forget choreography in seconds, adding the umbrella skit into the dance made the most sense for my non-talented self. As a group, we experienced a ton of drama in such a short period of time, so we thought that being able to poke fun at one of the most tense and dramatic moments would provide some laughter for the group and hopefully allow us to continue to move forward.

BravoTV.com: How would you describe the trip overall?
RD: The trip was fun, cultural, beautiful, dramatic, exciting, and entertaining! It was an amazing experience that I will always remember.

Jim Bellino Says He’s Been “Forced To Seek Professional Help For Physical And Psychological Ailments” After Being “Dragged Through The Mud” By Tamra Judge And Shannon Beador!

Jim Bellino, the estranged husband of former Real Housewives of Orange County star Alexis Bellino took to his persona blog to discuss to pain and hardship he is enduring from his public divorce and also slams Tamra Judge and Shannon Beador for the comments they made about his split from Alexis.

Jim starts off his blog about the pain and suffering he is enduring from dealing with a public divorce. Jim also talks about protecting his three kids during the difficult process, such as protecting their privacy from the media.

"If you have never been well-known enough to receive good and bad coverage from the media, consider yourself blessed. Because when the bad reviews start coming your way, it creates an avalanche of anguish for you, your children, and that inner core of your soul that is so vulnerable to hatred and the malignancy thrown at you from some of the most hateful people you will ever have the misfortune of knowing.

I do not want to get into the specifics of the precise stories that have hurt me, because I do not wish to lend any misguided or false credence to the coverage of myself or my family. Also, I am doing everything in my power to guard against any further malicious intrusions into my privacy and the privacy of my family. With that said, anyone who has been reading the news about me and my impending divorce to Alexis Bellino will probably know just what I am talking about.

Stories of this nature are difficult, painful, and if I’m being honest, they are numbing to the soul, which is a part of the self that should always be looking for the glory and the good in all things. My soul is suffering. I am in pain. I am in the midst of a divorce that involves 13 years of marriage and three innocent children. Call me naive, but I would have thought that these details would matter—but on the other hand, part of me knew this would get ugly—because that’s what most people want in their juicy gossip, especially when it comes to the kind of dish served up by reality TV.

Every daily update causes more personal pain for me, and there’s only so much I can do to shield my children, whose names have been brought up as part of this “news” story. Beyond this, all of the latest stories I see online are taking their toll on my physical and mental health."

Then, the former Bravo reality husband makes a candid confession and calls out Tamra Judge and Shannon Beador - claiming that he had to seek professional help after the comments they made about his divorce from Alexis and their business.

"I have been forced to seek professional help for physical and psychological ailments I’ve been experiencing since being dragged through the mud by Tamra and Shannon. The repercussions of this behavior from them and the coverage that it gets are literally harming every part of me.

Beyond this, my businesses have suffered, which has created hardship for myself, Alexis, and my children. I am, after all, a father who happens to own businesses, not an entrepreneur who happens to have children."

At the end of Jim's blog, he reveals that he is "working at not feeling broken" during this time, especially from reports from media outlets and confesses that being judged by strangers and the media has never been easy for him. He reminds fans that he was was "marked" as a "bad guy from day one" and admits that there "is a lot more than meets the eye."

"I wish I could close this blog post by saying something pithy or wise, something smart or insightful. But the truth is, I am working hard not to feel broken. I am at the mercy of people who do not know the real me, and that’s a scary and dangerous place to be. For those reading this that know what it’s like, forgive me for ever not taking it seriously. For those who have no idea what it’s like to be in the crosshairs of the harshest media outlets out there, just understand: I was marked as the “bad guy” from day one, so the fact that it’s gotten worse is kind of sadly miraculous.

I am doing the best I can with all of this—and all of this is a lot more than meets the eye."

Lisa Vanderpump Gets Emergency Restraining Order After Crazed Fan Verbally Threatens Her At PUMP Restaurant!

Lisa Vanderpump has been granted an emergency restraining order after she was threatened by a crazed fan. The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star was meeting customers at her West Hollywood restaurant, Pump when she was confronted by Kendrick Rustad on Saturday night, according to The Daily Mail.

The restaurant was packed at the time, with multiple sources revealed to the publication that well-dressed Rustad suddenly started shouting obscenities after spotting LVP at around 9pm.

"He was spitting and screaming and extremely aggressive,' the source told The Daily Mail, adding that Rustad explicitly threatened the mother-of-two's personal safety, despite not being previously known to the Bravo reality star.

Apparently, Lisa summoned security, who were at the scene within seconds, moving Rustad outside to the sidewalk, where he is said to have lashed out, kicking out at a crowd of onlookers who filmed the disturbance.

Police officers arrived quickly and spent 45 minutes attempting to subdue Rustad, who continued to scream abuse and spit, the source said.

"He was put in the back of the car and was trying to kick the window out, so they had to move him out of the vehicle and onto a stretcher-type thing," the source explained.

Rustad was arrested and booked on a misdemeanor charge, before being released on $250 bail.

An emergency restraining order was granted banning Rustad from within 100 feet of Lisa and Ken's multiple business interests - including Pump, Sur and new bar TomTom. The couple intend to return to court on Friday to extend the restraining order, according to The Daily Mail.

She was said to be too 'deeply stressed' by the unprecedented confrontation to comment, but family friend Rich Aguiar said she had been enjoying a small dinner when the incident happened.

"I was worried for her," Aguiar told the publication, who had been part of the family dinner party. 'She's so welcoming and open. To see somebody who was that aggressive was very disturbing.

Aguiar praised the West Hollywood police department for their quick response, saying that multiple officers were at the scene within minutes.

"Normally we have a very safe and friendly environment in Pump and elsewhere in West Hollywood. We hope this man gets the help he needs," Lisa's restaurant Pump said in a statement.

RHOC Recap: One Apology, Another Betrayal [Episode 2]

Disclaimer: The opinions expressed in this article are those of the author (Good Tea), and they do not reflect in any way those of iRealHousewives.com.

New Housewives can be hit or miss but I am loving these two new additions in the OC. Both Emily and Gina have strange and juicy family situations which are always a key factor in becoming a successful Housewife, no one wants to watch a happy couple with no problems, three and a half kids and a nice mansion. 

That's not why God invented Bravo! We are all attracted to trainwrecks so luckily Bravo conducted some amazing casting this season and stayed away from Armenian women with bad hair who can't speak the English language. 

On the second episode, we met the new Housewife Gina. She's from Long Island with a strong New York accent, three cute little kids and a husband who obviously did not want to get involved with any Bravo mess. Gina shared that he lives in LA during the week in his own apartment that she's never been to or even know where it is. Isn't that a red flag? Married finance guys are always the kinkiest so that apartment would've seen some shit go down. How does she just not know where the apartment is while she's stuck at home trying to make her kids swallow some broccoli? It's clear these two have been living separate lives for some time now and maybe have an open relationship (?) because how else would anyone be okay with their husband not living with them the majority of the week. Even if their relationship isn't open, the girls' legs in his apartment definitely are. 

Aside from not appearing on camera, we haven't even seen his face or heard his voice yet. In the photos of their wedding, she picked the two where is face is covered to show and skipped the usual Housewives practice by NOT calling him on speaker, Matt won’t be on this season which is annoying because who doesn’t love seeing a douchy, cheating hot house husband, especially in the middle of a divorce. Since Bravo didn't show us her hot (cheater) hubby, here's a pic of him and I can feel his douchy big dick energy from here. 

Obviously, she came on the show to get divorced and that's not shade, it's praise. If you know you're gonna get divorced you may as well do it on camera and get a check for it. I like Gina, she's refreshing, has a pure soul with a smart ass sense of humour and gives the show an East Coast flare we haven't seen before (Heather Dubrow could never). She seems like a good mom, a stable human being and I literally can't get enough of her juicy marriage/divorce storyline. 

Speaking of new girls with juicy home lives, we got more tea on Emily's life. Not only did her boss propose to her on Google chat because they couldn't find anything better to do but he's also a Mormon AND her sister was her surrogate for both pregnancies after she had six miscarriages. This is just juice upon juice and she was definitely born to be on reality TV. She now wants to have another baby girl with one of her frozen embryones but her Mormon husband won't allow it. What does he care? Trust me, she's going to regret not having another kid so she should fly her sister out from Ohio, get a turkey baster and get herself a baby if she really wants one. Her life is an 80s soap opera that I would watch every episode of. How does Bravo find these women? Meeting the new girls I felt like I was chugging some sweet peach tea, which is exactly how I want to feel when I'm watching the Housewives. Although they have juicy backstories and home lives I'm praying they blend well with the rest of the group because I haven't liked new girls this much in a VERY long time. 

After discussing the newest ladies on the scene, now let's talk about the old ones. Old by time on the show not by the amount of time they've been on Earth, just to be clear. After Eddie got the news his heart procedure didn't work and has to take thinners to try and avoid a stroke, his day sucked and got even worse when he and Tamra received food from Vicki Gunvalson - AND IT WASN'T EVEN A CASSEROLE. The audacity. What are sick people supposed to eat Vicki? She knows she fucked up in the eyes of the world for "repeating a rumour" that Eddie is gay and had to apologise to move forward with Tamra so while she was "running errands" in Laguna Beach, Tamra and Eddie just so happened to be eating lunch with a camera crew in Laguna as well so she met up with them and gave one of her terrible Vicki Gunvalson apologises. The problem with Vicki (and there's many) is that she can never just say sorry for her part and take full ownership of her behaviour, she always needs to make an excuse or blame the other party for causing her to something shitty and states it in her apology. You would think after thirteen years on reality TV full of fights with Tamra Judge she would learn what she needs to say to have a good apology, but she still doesn't which makes her a terrible person who gives us amazing TV.

Emily Simpson Shares Her First Impressions Of Kelly Dodd And Gina Kirschenheiter!

Emily Simpson is taking to her Bravo Blog to dish on this week's episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County. Emily Simpson talks about having her children through surrogacy and shares her first impressions of Kelly Dodd and Gina Kirschenheiter.

BravoTV.com: Did you and Sara become closer after she was a surrogate for you?
Emily Simpson: My sister, Sara, and I have always been extremely close. We grew up in Ohio, out in the country, where all the homes were far apart. There weren't many other kids to play with, so we spent most of our childhood playing with each other. Our summer days were spent barefoot, running wild and free, playing in the barn or catching frogs in the pond. We grew up in a divorced home without a lot of structure, and so we learned to really just depend on one other. My sister is the closest person to me and has been my whole life.

In 2011, after I miscarried twins, my sister and her family came to Utah to spend Thanksgiving with us at our home in Utah. Although I had literally lost the babies just a few days before and had barely recovered from the trauma, I felt it would be therapeutic to have my sister there with me. I remember standing in my kitchen on Thanksgiving day telling her about the loss of the babies in detaiI and about my health ordeal after (I had to have an emergency D&C and a blood transfusion). I mentioned that I had no idea what to do now as far as trying to have children. That’s the moment my sister told me to stop trying and that she would “do it for me." I knew in that moment that what she was saying was a genuine offer to be a surrogate for me.

The surrogacy journey to have Annabelle was long and arduous for both of us. Even though Sara was my sister, we still had to go through the formal surrogacy process. We both had to have pyschological examinations, contracts, lawyers, and my sister had to have a multitude of exams, etc., in addition to all of the fertility drugs she had to take! Because Sara lives in Ohio, she had to communicate with my fertility doctor, Dr. Najmabadi in Beverly Hills, often via text and email, and then eventually travel to California for the actual implantation. We implanted two embryos into my sister: one boy and one girl. My sister was convinced she was carrying twins. However, after her first sonogram, Sara called me sobbing after having learned there was only one embryo. She was completely devastated. Honestly, I was too, but at the same time I knew that we were so lucky that one viable embryo was growing. Nine months later, on February 19, 2013, my "feral child" Annabelle was born in Kettering, Ohio!

Although my sister and I had always been best friends, going through the surrogacy process made our relationship even closer. Not only did she make the huge sacrifice to carry a child for me for nine months, but she never once complained or expressed regret for her decision.  She treated the pregnancy as if she were carrying her own child. I know she ate very healthy and was very careful to rest and stay in good shape. We spoke daily as she kept me updated on the progress. I even flew out to Ohio for her 16-week sonogram, when we learned the sex of the baby—a surprise to us since we didn’t know which embryo survived. A girl!! My Annabelle. I'll never get over the loss of the two babies I lost, but the closest person to me, my sister, gave me greatest gift you could ever give someone...the gift of life.

BravoTV.com: Is the decision of whether to have another baby or not still a point of contention in your marriage?
ES: The fact that I would like to have another daughter but that Shane does not want more kids isn't necessarily a source of contention in our relationship. While it’s a discussion we often have, we don't necessarily fight or argue about it. It's true that another child is something that I really want, but Shane’s reasons for not wanting more children are valid and reasonable, so I respect his position.

Shane has five children: two daughters from his first marriage, Shelby (17) and Chanel (12), and then our three little ones. He is an amazing dad and makes sure to spend quality time with all of his children. He feels that his time is consumed with the five children and that to have another would take away from the others. I respect his position, but that doesn't mean I won't stop trying to change his mind!

It is because my sister and I grew up so close that I’ve always wanted Annabelle to have that same relationship with a sister. I have always yearned for two daughters, probably trying to recreate the Emily/Sara dynamic! My husband reminds me to focus on the three children we have, because there was a very dark time in my life when we were not sure we would ever have any children, and so I should count my blessings. I understand this mentality, and I do cherish the three miracles I do have. But I can't help what my heart wants, and my heart wants to have another daughter.

BravoTV.com: What are your impressions of the other ladies so far?
ES: I'm really excited about finally healing the relationship with Tamra. I connected with her really quickly years ago, and I feel like we are just getting right back into that groove. She's funny, sassy, and witty, and I really enjoy spending time with her.

At the nail salon, it was like no time at all had passed and we were cracking jokes and having a great time together. It’s here that I had the opportunity to meet Kelly for the first time. My first impression of Kelly was that she's extremely beautiful, confident, and a lot of fun! She asked me personal questions right out of the gate, but it didn't bother me, because that's how I roll too. I'm an open book, and I feel that true friendships are established by just opening up, being yourself, and trying to get to know one another. So I appreciate that she's asking me about my life and my relationship with Shane. I'm look forward to spending more time with her and getting to know her better, because it didn't take much time to figure out that Kelly is down for fun!

I met Gina at Cut Fitness (after the most grueling work out ever...thank you Eddie Judge for killing me!). My first impression of Gina is that she is sweet, funny, and has a great personality. As soon as she tells us that she has three young children (who are almost the exact ages as my three), I think to myself, "OK this chick is cool and we are about to be best friends!" Who better to connect with and hang out with than someone who is dealing with the exact same things that you are?! I mean, we can bond over a glass of wine and potty training stories. Maybe Gina knows the key to being able to shower, put makeup on, and get my kids ready too? I have yet to figure that out, but maybe together we can help each other figure out this parenting stuff! Plus... her accent? How fun is that?! "Gina, say cawfee."

What do you think about Emily’s blog?
