Vicki Gunvalson Says Her “Apology To Eddie Was Sincere And Heartfelt” And Claims She Was “Really Shocked That Kelly Was So Upset About Michael Dating” And Hopes They “Can Move On From This Unusually Odd Issue”

Vicki Gunvalson is taking to her Bravo Blog to dish on this week's premiere episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County. The OG of the OC talks about her dramatic argument she had with Kelly Dodd over setting up her ex-husband Michael and apologizing to Tamra Judge's husband Eddie.

Vicki writes:

"Welcome back to our second episode of Season 13!

Tonight you will meet our newest member, Gina. This is the first time we have had someone from the East Coast, which I think is great. She sure has her hands full with those three little ones during the week while Matt works in LA.

I was really shocked that Kelly was so upset about Michael dating and that she would have been upset that we went out with them a few times. Kelly made it very clear she wanted to divorce her husband Michael. She was dating immediately following the divorce and was actually very excited, describing herself as free and so happy that she was single. She is so quick to use her ”happy to be divorced” clichés. Kelly even said (as you witnessed), how she wished Michael would start dating. Keep in mind Steve and Michael are still close friends and see each other often. It would be logical Steve and I would see who he was dating and even spend time with them, so I am awe struck at the outrage Kelly has demonstrated towards me. Is it really outrage, or is she concealing some underlying unresolved feelings she still has for Michael? I don’t know, and I’m not going to make that judgment. The person Michael dated for a short time is a friend of mine. Both her and Michael asked me to keep their relationship confidential. They told me that they wanted to share that information with Kelly when they thought the time was right. I think this is honestly the first time I have been yelled at for staying out of people’s business. It did sadden me to see Kelly involving her 11-year-old daughter in this adult issue, especially one that involved Michael. I think that was a mistake on her part. I hope we can move on from this unusually odd issue, because I consider Kelly a good friend of mine.

I really enjoy the role Steve has taken at home. Steve is a retired homicide detective and now works as a public policy consultant. He works from home part of the time, which allows him the flexibility to cook, clean, do laundry, and work in the yard. Luckily for me, he really enjoys it. Who would of thought? I am happy to have that extra time to devote to Coto Financial & Coto Insurance and my clients. It helps me keep focused on growing the company without the distractions of completing all the tasks at home myself.

I understand Eddie’s anger towards me. To have caused any stress in his and Tamra’s relationship is regrettable, and for that I am truly sorry. My apology to Eddie was sincere and heartfelt. Spreading rumors is never a good practice, and speaking without facts just makes matters worse. I believe the thing that made me so nervous that day meeting with Eddie and Tamra was the fact that not only did I want to repair my relationship with Eddie, but this would also play a major role in healing my relationship with Tamara. I am encouraged by the progress we made, and although it will take baby steps to fully recover, I think we are moving in the right direction.

I don’t know Emily very much yet, but it was nice seeing her and Shane out to dinner to celebrate their anniversary. Emily mentioned in the first episode that Shane is an attorney, and then tonight she said he is a claims adjuster. Did anyone else catch that?

Lastly, it was so great seeing Shannon pack for Punta Minta and inviting Tamra and me to Mexico. Stay tuned for next week to see how much fun we had."

Kelly Dodd: “I’m Sorry, But Vicki Broke Girl Code”

Kelly Dodd is taking to her Bravo Blog to dish on this week's episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County. Kelly Dodd opens about dramatic fight with Vicki Gunvalson and shares her first impressions of newbies Emily and Gina.

Kelly writes:

"I know what you came here for. Don't worry! I'm not gonna waste time.

Seeing Vicki apologize to Eddie was rich. All the Bible verses and crocodile tears in the world aren't going to make up for the fact that Vicki has selective loyalty. Whoever she's in front of at any given time is who she's loyal to. Her apology to Eddie and Tamra may have come from a sincere place, but that doesn't mean she'll change her behavior. That's Vicki's problem. She's always ready to stab someone in the back if it makes things easier for herself in the moment. When confronted, she deflects. You can't teach an old Housewife new tricks.

As you heard on our phone call, I told Vicki to come by and check out my new place, and I was genuinely excited to hang out. Literally 20 minutes before she walked in the door, the story hit The Daily Mail that she had set Michael up with her friend. What weird timing! I didn't even have time to process the texts I was getting, let alone my feelings about the situation. I was honestly expecting that Vicki would clear it all up, because you can't always believe what you read in the tabloids. Instead, she showed zero remorse and dismissed my feelings completely. I was shocked!

Sure, I said in passing that I hoped Michael was dating, but for her to help him find a girlfriend crosses a line. If I had a party and Brooks or Don showed up, I would have told Vicki right away.

The truth is, I don't care who Michael dates. What really hurt was that Vicki did all of this without telling me, and I had to find out from the press. As you can tell, I was totally blindsided. And isn't it amazing how Vicki goes from her virtuous performance at lunch with Tamra to another betrayal in the span of a few hours? Just a day in the life of Vicki Gunvalson.

As a sidenote, Vicki didn't even tell me which friend she had set up with Michael on all these double dates. I was wondering, who could it be?? Later, to my surprise, I found out it was some old lady who looks like The Cat Woman. Once I knew who it was, I thought, "go for it, Michael!" If she had told me who it was, I wouldn't have reacted in the same way. I'm sorry, but Vicki broke girl code.

Before I go, I want to address the new Housewives and welcome them to the group! Meeting Emily for the first time was a little bizarre. I found it very surprising that she married her husband over Google Chat. Don't you want to test drive the car before you buy it? Gina, I liked right off the bat. She's young, pretty, smart, and fun. I have a lot of friends in New York, so I totally get her humor and personality—I love that whole New York vibe.

I thought it was awesome for Shannon that David bought her a vacation to Mexico. My ex-husband would NEVER do that for me! Maybe the next time Michael takes a trip, Vicki and Steve can go with him. Since they double date so often, maybe it's time for a swingers' retreat! "

Faith Stowers Reveals She Has Blocked The Vanderpump Rules Crew “Out Of Her Life” And Reacts To Jax Taylor And Brittany Cartwright’s Engagement!

Faith Stowers left Bravo for MTV, which she first appeared on Ex On The Beach a few months back and currently she's on MTV's The Challenge: The Final Reckoning. Faith is looking back at her Vanderpump Rules days and claims she wishes all her former co-stars the best.

“I wouldn’t say I have a vendetta with them,” she told Page Six about her former Vanderpump Rules co-stars. “I just choose to block them out of my life. Once you’re in it, it’s hard to see what’s happening, but now that I’m with MTV, I’m just looking back at some of the things and wondering what the hell I was thinking! No vendettas. I wish them all the best. I wish them growth in life.”

Now, that Stowers is on a new show, she admits reality relevision is a small world as some of her new co-stars on The Challenge are friends with the PumpRules crew.

“Kailah [Casillas] is friends with Scheana [Marie] so that was difficult,” Stowers said of her new co-stars. “I thought I was going to have a really tough time in the house with her because of her friendship with Scheana. They’re really close, so I’m glad that she got knocked out round one so we’re good to go!”

“Veronica [Portillo] is an avid watcher of ‘Vanderpump Rules,'” she added. “She was asking me questions about Brittany [Cartwright] when I got to the house.”

As previously reported, Stowers found herself under fire after she confessed that she had an affair with Jax Taylor. If you recall, Taylor was dating now-fianceé Cartwright, 29, at the time.

Stowers shares her thoughts on Taylor and Cartwright’s engagement and admits she has no ill feelings.

“I hope she’s able to put up with certain things but if not I hope that they are able to work things out,” she told Page Six. “I believe in reconciliation. I believe in forgiveness. I’ve been with a guy who’s cheated on me before and I forgave him. I think Brittany is going to have to deal with that maybe time and time again, but I’m glad that she decided to move on and she tried, tried, tried to find happiness.”

Faith reveals she has no plans to attend TomTom when it finally opens — unless it’s for some drama.

“There’s a s–t ton of amazing bars so I don’t see the point in me going to TomTom, but it sounds really cute though!” she said.

After weeks of speculation, Shereé Whitfield officially confirmed that she will not be part of the upcoming eleventh season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta when the show returns this fall.

Apparently the reason why she decided to walk away from the Bravo hit reality series was due to the salary offer she received from the network.

“Currently living my best life,” she told a fan on her Instagram Story when asked if she was coming back to RHOA. “Was not interested in entertaining the low ball offer that was sent. Know ur worth.”


Asked if she was fired, Whitfield made it clear that she had “declined” the show. She also went on to tell fans that she wasn’t worried about money, suggesting that Chateu Sherée was in a good place, according to PEOPLE.



“Don’t you fret… I’m good love!” Whitfield told a fan, teasing to another that other TV options are on the table. “You may be seeing me soon!


When asked if she would star in her own reality show, the original cast member said, “Yes, u may be seeing me soon”

Whitfield was one of the original cast members when the show premiered back in October 2008, starring alongside NeNe Leakes, Kim Zolciak-Biermann, Lisa Wu and DeShawn Snow.

She remained with the show for four consecutive seasons, leaving before Kenya Moore and Porsha Williams joined the show in season 5. Whitfield then returned to the Bravo hit reality show as a Friend of the Housewives in season 8, and rejoined the cast as a full-time cast member for seasons 9 and 10.

Ronnie Negus Talks Life After RHOV; Says “I Don’t Think I Was Portrayed All That Well” And Offers An Update On Her Kids And Love Life!

Ronnie Negus is looking back at her days on The Real Housewives of Vancouver and offers an update on her life since the Canadian reality show ended back in 2013. Ronnie feels like she wasn't portrayed well on the show and admits that she regrets returning to the show for a second season.

“I don’t think I was portrayed all that well,” she told North Shore News. “In these shows you have to have a formula,” she explains. “You have to have a victim. You have a bully and you have the one who drinks too much – me.”

These days, Ronnie is living a healthier and sober life. On the road to sobriety she hiked the Grouse Grind 24 times in one summer.

There was no rock-bottom moment, Negus says, but rather “an accumulation of this doesn’t feel good.”

“My hangovers were debilitating. And I just got tired of the roller coaster.”

Once while in an inebriated state, Negus recalls she fell into a wall and smashed her forehead. She had to film Housewives with a black eye.

“But they covered it up really well,” she says.

Negus suffered post-traumatic stress disorder when filming started for the second season of the Slice hit reality series.

“And I thought it would be good for me, and in hindsight it was really the worst thing,” she says. “I should have taken that time to heal.”

Four years ago, Negus’s daughter Remy had choked on a piece of steak and was declared clinically dead.

“She was 22 minutes down,” recalls Negus. “It was horrific. She turned solid blue. I went into absolute shock.”

To make matters worse, the family’s housekeeper had a massive heart attack while giving Remy CPR. While both of them survived, Remy’s cognition wasn’t the same after that day, reports the publication.

“Nobody thought that she was going to come off of life support, but she did,” says Negus, who is inspired by her daughter’s resiliency.

These days Remy lives in a home with caregivers on Salt Spring Island, where her mom visits “all of the time.”

Negus also offered an update on her two sons and daughter Charlie. Jhordan, the oldest, just eloped in Las Vegas, while his brother, Houston, is an actor living in L.A.

As for the youngest Charlie, she is growing in a young teenager who is loving pop culture and social media, as most teens do.

“It drives me absolutely crazy that they are on the social media all the time,” says Negus. “(Charley) is obsessed with the Kardashians – obsessed.”

Since RHOV ended, Ronnie reveals that she's only the closest to Robin Reichman. “We are really close. I really care about Robin a lot,” says Negus.

As previously reported, Ronnie and her husband Russell split a few years since the show ended. Now, Negus gives an update on their relationship. “It’s complicated,” says Negus, with a smile.

She confirms that she and Russell still hang out together and “God only knows” what the future holds for them.

“For me, never say never,” she tells North Shore News.

Negus reveals she's working on involves partnering with a prominent U.S. hotel proprietor on a line of vitamins. “I’m such a health freak,” she says.

Despite all the hardships she has faced, one thing is for certain - she's the happiest she's ever been.

“I want to have a front-row seat to my life,” she says. “I wake up every day and I’ve never been happier.”

Luann de Lesseps has reached a plea deal for her Palm Beach drunken arrest. According to court documents obtained by E! News, The Real Housewives of New York City star has pleaded guilty to three charges: battery, trespass and disorderly intoxication.

Luann will be placed under one year probation under the state of New York. As part of her probation, she will be required to pay all applicable fines and court costs; perform 50 hours of community service; attend two Alcohol Anonymous meetings per week and attend a Victim Impact Class by Mothers Against Drunk Drivers. She must also refrain from consuming any alcohol or illegal drugs and is subject to random testing.

In addition, she is required to submit a letter of apology to Deputy Steven O'Leary, which she completed.

As previously reported, Luann was arrested in Palm Beach, Florida. on Christmas Eve. She was accused of being intoxicated in a hotel and trespassing into another guest's room with a man. She also allegedly kicked an officer during her arrest and said "I'm going to kill you."

The incident took place about a year after her wedding to her now ex-husband Tom D'Agostinto Jr. The two divorced after less than a year of marriage. The arrest was also documented on the Bravo hit reality series. Luann has since apologized for her arrest and behavior.

"This was my first time in Palm Beach since my wedding, and being here brought up long-buried emotions," de Lesseps previously told E! News in a statement, "I want to offer my sincere apologies to anyone I might have offended with my behavior.  I am committed to transformative and hopeful 2018."

De Lesseps checked herself into an alcohol treatment after the arrest. She also checked herself back into rehab last week. The relapse came shortly after news broke that de Lesseps was being sued by her children and ex-husband.

Vicki Gunvalson Explains Why Her Daughter Briana Culberson Won’t Appear On RHOC!

Vicki Gunvalson's daughter Briana Culberson has appeared on every season of The Real Housewives of Orange County since its premiere back in 2006. However, this year, Briana along with her husband Ryan and their two kids, Troy and Owen will not appear on the show this season.

“It broke my heart,” Vicki told Entertainment Tonight of filming the opening credits without her daughter for the first time ever. “But, I'm happy for Briana.”

If you recall, after Season 12 wrapped, Briana and her family moved to North Carolina.

“She was really in a place in her life with Ryan, Ryan just retired disability Marine, they decided to move to North Carolina, where he's from, and build a life there,” Vicki explains. “This is my new normal now, flying cross-country. Could you have moved any farther away?! This is not, like, a weekend trip! So, I'm doing the red eyes out, getting there in the morning and just spending as much time with them, and then heading back. So, it's my new normal.”

“She works still full-time as a nurse, and her husband looks after the boys,” Vicki told Entertainment Tonight. “She's got a four and six year old, Troy's almost six already! We saw him being born on camera, and they're the love of my life.”

“She wanted to just have a break and be kind of incognito, keep the kids off camera,” Vicki adds. “The unfortunate part about putting your kids on camera and yourself is, the trolls come out, and the negative people come out, and the people that have their 'opinion,' and she's like, 'I don't want to hear it anymore. I'm a good mother, a good wife. We have a good family. I don't want to hear any negativity,' and that happens. You know, people were trolling bad about Ryan or bad about her. It gets exhausting.”

I am sure this does not come as a surprise to any of the viewers, all of whom have been supportive, encouraging, and kind.

Gina Kirschenheiter is taking to her Bravo Blog to dish on this week's episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County. Gina Kirschenheiter talks about her husband being away for so long due to work and shares her first impressions on Kelly Dodd and Emily Simpson.

BravoTV.com: On a scale of 1-10, how hard was Eddie and Tamra Judge's class? How long have you been going to Cut Fitness?
Gina Kirschenheiter: 10. It was very difficult!!! I needed it!

BravoTV.com: What were your first impressions of the other ladies? 
GK: Kelly was welcoming and funny. She seemed super competitive. Emily seemed sweet. It was nice that they were interested in me and my life.

BravoTV.com: How are you able to deal with your husband being away for so long?
GK: I think that when you become a mom your whole world changes. When you have your first child, you depend on your partner more than you ever have. Mostly it’s because you really have no clue what you’re doing and need someone to help you, reassure you, and support you. The more kids you have, the more confident you become in your ability to care for them. This is such a daunting job that you also become much more confident in your own independent survival skills. Lol. At this point in my life I feel good. I am confident. Matt is sacrificing for his family by being away to work. I will sacrifice by caring for the kids primarily on my own. At the end of the day we are on the same team trying to achieve the same goals. And we feel so lucky in life that it doesn’t even really feel like that much of a sacrifice. Many more people have to deal with far greater circumstances than a tough commute.

Tamra Judge Says She Does Believe Vicki Gunvalson’s “Apology Was Sincere” Despite Having “An ‘Untraditional’ Way Of Apologizing”

Tamra Judge is taking to her Bravo Blog to dish on this week's episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County. Tamra Judge reacts to Vicki Gunvalson's apology to her husband Eddie and teases Mexico trip with Vicki and Shannon Beador.

BravoTV.com: Did you worry Eddie wouldn't accept Vicki Gunvalson's apology?
Tamra Judge: I was worried that Eddie would not accept Vicki's apology. I knew my husband would listen to what she had to say but wasn’t sure that he would believe her.

However, I was more concerned with Vicki's delivery of her apology. She tends to have an “untraditional” way of apologizing (apologizes then says YOU did something wrong to her). Vicki keeps saying that she just “repeated a rumor.” We know that she did SO much more than that, but we need to leave it in the past in order to move forward.

BravoTV.com: Did you feel Vicki's apology was sincere?
TJ: I do believe that Vicki’s apology was sincere. The only thing that we don’t understand is she said over and over again that Eddie was “not kind and turned on her.” THAT IS NOT TRUE! For two years Eddie took the abuse. The multiple stories that were written, the TV interviews she did, the recruiting of other people to talk lies about him...all the while Eddie kept silent.

I was the one getting upset. I felt like I had to defend my husband because he was the one getting attacked in retaliation of ME not liking Brooks. It just wasn’t fair!

BravoTV.com: Were you nervous at all to go on a trip with Shannon Beador and Vicki?
TJ: We’re going to Mexico! Leaving Eddie for two days was a tough decision. I had to make sure he was stable and OK with me leaving.

Shannon had been going through so much, and I wanted to be there for her. It was the first time that she’d been away as a single woman. I wanted to see her smile again, forget about the divorce, and have some fun.

The Bravo reality star has changed her name on her Instagram page as Shannon Storms Beador.

With the new addition of her maiden name to her moniker, the mother-of-three also shared if she could see herself getting married again.

Kenya Moore Is Leaving The Real Housewives Of Atlanta After ‘Messy’ And ‘Lengthy’ Contract Negotiations; Sources Say!

Multiple sources reveal that Kenya Moore will not be on the upcoming eleventh season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta after a messy, lengthy contract negotiation that left her and the Bravo on opposite sides of uncrossable battle lines, according to PEOPLE.

Both production and Moore wanted her to return as a full-time cast member but according to the insider, the former Miss U.S.A.wanted more money than they were offering, and they wanted her to film all parts of her life — including her personal time with husband Marc Daly — that were previously off-limits.

Moore came under criticism by producers, fans and her castmates last season because she hid so much of her life. She and Daly famously got eloped in June 2017 when the Bravo cameras were down, without telling producers. He only appeared on RHOA once during season 10, for a quick scene.

The couple are expecting their first child together now, due before the end of the year, but Moore kept her entire fertility treatment away from show. She also didn’t participate in last season’s cast trip to Barcelona, having guest co-stars Shamea Morton, Marlo Hampton and Eva Marcelle attended alongside the rest of the full-time cast.

“Everyone wanted to have Kenya back, but they wanted to have the old Kenya back — the one who isn’t afraid of the cameras,” a source close to production told PEOPLE. “You can’t have secrets and be on reality TV. Especially when other Housewives are showing all of their lives — the good, bad, and the ugly. They need to see your life.”

The insider explains that Moore was still being offered other options as of last week, but those talks are now done.

Filming had already begun on some scenes without her, including a cast trip to Miami where Bravo cameras captured the ladies in support of NeNe Leakes' grand opening of her new clothing boutique, but the insider reveals that there was always a chance that Moore could come in. She even recently spent time with Cynthia Bailey, Kandi Burrus and Porsha Williams to keep the relationships going in case she returned.

“They were at a stand still for so long,” the source says. “Everyone was rooting for her and wanted to see her back, even women like NeNe and Porsha who haven’t always been on ‘Team Kenya.’ The cast, producers, Bravo — they all know she’s good for the show. But it got messy. She just refused to compromise.”

Moore hinted her future in multiple tweets she made on Twitter this week.


"Nope... was never offered a friend role, just friend 💲to do the same job and show family and baby story. 🤔 No movement in negotiations but not to worry... a girl has options just in case 💅🏾 👸🏾"


"I feel you, as a fan I wholeheartedly agree this would be the pinnacle of my tenure on the show. The fans deserve to see my happy ending... unfortunately, it's not up to me. Maybe I should have committed some crimes  😏"


"To be honest yeah it does. A dream would be to have everything aligned for once in my life... falling in love, getting married, having a baby, businesses thriving and work life... all at 47 🤷🏾‍♀️ God will have my back"

RHONY Recap: Guess Who's Arguing At Dinner? [Episode 16]

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.

Everyone is talking about #TeamSkinnygirl or #TeamWriterGirl and I’m really not on either. Morally I think Bethenny has been less than truthful and has definitely been on the outskirts of the group due to the ladies getting tired of her bitchy ways but I just cannot be on Carole’s side. 

She’s whiny, annoying and looks like she’s aged sixty-five years in the space of one season. I’m happy she’s finally become an actual Real Housewife with opinions and bitchy comebacks and I agree that Bethenny did fuck her over but she has developed had a smugness about her which I’m not down with. Ethically I’d probably have to side with Carole, however, theatrically I like Bethenny more, she may be a bitch but she creates great TV.

This episode began in the middle of Bethenny's breakdown which consisted of her crying in a freezer and going through all the problems in her life. I feel bad but like the rest of the women on the show and even the houses' maid who stood idly by, I too have zero fucks to give about her tears. Bethenny has officially lost control of the group which she used to reign supreme over and now she's just an exiled member on a sad lonely island with only Sonja Tremont Morgan willing to row over to her. If she can't control the group then she'll just ruin the trip for everyone else. Crying in the freezer on a tropical vacation is Bethenny's karma biting her in that skinny ass of hers and she really has no one to blame but herself after how she's treated the majority of her cast members. Finally, after she emerged from her breakdown with Dorinda, who was held hostage to console her, and the ladies went shopping while Bethenny looked like she wanted to jump into ongoing traffic, swim with sharks or was just told she had to spend the night in Ramona's room. Not even the Puerto Ricans looked that miserable and they had no active electricity.

Of course, Sonja carried the bone back to Bethenny about how the women had all been talking shit about her which only fuelled her depressed behaviour. I agree that Bethenny's crying is a constant annoyance and a ploy for attention but Sonja is, of course, trying to be a good friend to Bethenny, who only holds that position because there's no one else left for Skinnygirl to film with. Bethenny will probably throw Sonja out next season like the used panty liner Lady Morgan needed to shield her camel toe from the camera's view. After Bethenny heard what the girls were saying about her she asked Dennis to fly a plane out to pick her up. What the fuck? If Dennis is still in the picture what is the Red Scarf drama about AND how does he just have a spare plane lying around AND if Dennis just has planes lying around why the fuck would she go speed dating and not lock him down? Fuck Carole, those are Bethenny's real problems. After yet another meal where Bethenny cried on the phone while the ladies ate and gave zero fucks, she decided to stay on her own version of Scary Island. She looked like someone is holding a hot plate of Biggie and Smallz shit under her nose and focusing her to eat it the entire trip.

After her breakdown was semi over and she managed to not look like she belonged on suicide watch, the crew all went out for yet another meal but had to wait on Tinsley and her glam squad. This is another reason why Tinsley does not belong on this show. No one cares what you look like, wear a nice flowy tropical dress, a light layer of makeup and get out the door. If she wants to be extra she can go on Beverly Hills and be boring with them but it's absolutely ridiculous to have the Colombian Priv up in her room. The dinner in this episode was one of the best they've ever had, which may sound redundant because I've said this about every dinner they've had this season, but it was reality TV magic. Scott Dunlop himself couldn't have orchestrated something so riveting. 

The first fight was between Bethenny and Carole who fought about nothing and everything. I'm so confused how this fight started and it seems like both women were too because now they are just debating what they were even fighting about in the first place. They should really just wipe the slate clean but there seems to be a weird deep-seated hatred between the two which I can't figure out. Bethenny has an odd jealously towards Carole about "wanting to be cool" because she brings it up every time they have a fight but isn't Bethenny the one with two dogs called Biggie and Smallz, a Christmas sweater which reads "Rolling with my Snowmies" and a vocabulary full of rap lingo? But Carole is the one who wants to be cool? The only thing Carole is guilty of trying to be is Carrie Bradshaw - especially with her new smoking thing which was just another thing which pissed Bethenny off along with the other ladies watching them fight. Doesn't Bethenny see the camera crew and the producers who are watching them fight? Who cares if Tinsley tunes in too.  The former besties just can't get out of each other's way and their entire feud is coloured differently now that Carole has left the show. 

This group is no stranger to having more than one fight break out during a dinner but never (in any city) can I recall there being two fights simultaneously playing out at the same time while Sonja orders a "mocktini with tequila" and makes out with Tinsley unphased and in the middle of both fights. This is why New York is the best of any franchise, nothing even comes close to rivalling them. While Bethenny and Carole fought about being cool (?) Luann and Dorinda fought on the other end of the table after the Countess made a vague comment about Mrs Medley getting a little too drunk which was met Dorinda ripping her to shreds like the hyenas did to Scar in The Lion King. When Dorinda is drunk she takes one comment someone says, focuses solely on that and takes it the wrong way. This time her contention was that a recently arrested ex-Countess shouldn't be telling her how much to drink so she attacked her mugshot, threw a glass and left Lu in tears. It was uncomfortable to see after how warm and supportive had been to Luann after she got out of rehab to suddenly shame her for it after she made a minor comment.

Southern Charm Recap: Reunion Part Two [Episode 16]

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.

Where do I even begin with the problem of Trashley Eloise Jacobs, I don't actually know if Eloise is her middle name but I'd imagine it to be something boring and white like that? For the entire season, Trashley has become one of the most hated villains in Bravo history for her erratic ways and fucked up behaviour, so her appearance at this reunion was always going to be spectacular. 

After learning four to six women are willing to sleep with Shep on a weekly basis and Andy roasted the men about having no ambition or job (reality TV is their job Andy, let's not play dumb), it was time for Trashley to join the group. Her arrival on the stage was eery and odd like we've never seen before. She walked through the halls as Andy talked shit about her with the rest of the cast and then waited for everyone to join her on stage in a cheap second-hand wedding dress. The editors over at Haymaker really do deserve several Emmys for this season because they are the unsung heroes of the show who bring it all together.

You’d think at least after watching herself back this season Trashley would see how fucked up she was and apologise for being a terrible person who said disgusting things, but if anything it just made her crazier and it’s getting to the Kelly Bensimon-Taylor Armstrong point where it’s no longer comical to watch and it’s literally scary because this human being mentally is not here with us on planet earth. She's scary skinny and I say this as a skinny person, but the flashbacks from the beginning of the season looked like that Trashley could've eaten the Trashley sitting on the reunion sofa. It's a serious problem. For her entire time of the couches, the cast snickered amongst themselves about her weird responses, who knew Trashley could bring Naomie and Craig to smile at each other once again? She said she knew Thomas was an amazing guy when he introduced himself and asked her what her job was because it showed he cared. Um. Has Trashley never had a conversation with another human before or are her other men more of tap and go situation?

For Trashley there’s clearly a disconnect with reality. That’s not a bitchy quip or shade because I don’t like her, it’s a fact and it’s an issue. She doesn’t see things the way they happen and lives in a completely altered universe where she can do no wrong. And it’s not that she doesn’t want to admit she isn’t wrong it’s that she’s psycho enough to actually believe she literally did nothing wrong and was justified for everything she’s said and done. Little Miss Trash said her ONE regret of the season was going shopping with Patricia instead of Kathryn and apologised for "where" she exploded at the table in Hilton Head but not for any of the content - because she still means everything she said. Trashley has known Kathryn for less than a year and developed such an unhealthy, deep-seated, obsessive hatred that like many things she does isn't logical and why? Because she wasn't invited to a two-year-old's party. 

Through the whole reunion, Trashley can never just say she's sorry for what she did and move on. Nope. She constantly doubled down on all her shitty comments and brought her own "smoking guns" to try and expose more of who she thinks Kathryn is but instead she just shoots herself in the leg and it exposes her own true colours: like claiming she almost failed a drug test because she showed up late. Kathryn was at work and has a purple arm because of the amount of blood that's been pumped out of her veins and PASSED the drug test, so what the fuck is Trashley's point? It just worsens her case if anything. This hasn't even been a fair battle because Trashley hasn't made one good point or had a clear reason behind any of her actions which just caused Kathryn to come out victorious overall and show how much she has changed and the restraint she has. 

The only logical explanation for Trashley's hostility is that Thomas is feeding her this bullshit. It's not an excuse for her shitty behaviour, it's an explanation. Although Trashley has done the most to go after Kathryn, everyone on the couches was still trying to wake her up to the complete and utter trance she is under from Thomas and his grubby, sexual assaulting hands. Thomas Ravenel is a disgusting human being, as evidenced through his actions on the show as well as off it, however, Trashley felt the need to defend and make excuses for his behaviour from his drunken yelling at Chelsea on the boat to him throwing a plate of leftovers at her because "she was being a brat" and tried to talk about how he's a "New Thomas" since the allegations, which just makes the brainwashing so much clearer. This relationship is wrong and psychologically fucked up because there's NO reason for her to stay when he treats her with such disrespect. Thomas has done this to Kathryn before and created her crazy ways through manipulation and emotional abuse, so it's scary the parallel this new relationship has with his old one. Trashley may have been the one on those reunion couches but Thomas got the worst edit of all because he's the corrupt, creepy puppet master behind her psycho mouth who got to hid at home in Charleston for the day and not face any consequences for his actions. 

She defended him and their relationship all the way through the reunion saying he'll be cleared of all charges and there's no way the could've had sex in Shep's bathroom because "he only has sex in bed" even after he had talked shit behind her back to everyone all season. I can't believe I'm saying this but Thomas doesn't even deserve Trashley. She is under the control of his manipulation and bank account because I don't understand how anyone can watch an entire season of their boyfriend talking shit about them, openly flirting with their ex in front of them, fucking said ex a month after they started dating, wanting to break up with her several times and who knows what else happened behind closed doors, but still make excuses why they should be together. It's obvious Thomas is only staying due to all the shit she's got on him (lesbian sex tape) but why would SHE want to stay? Can't she find a reach guy in Texas to fund her life instead of staying by an (alleged) rapist's side? It makes her look terrible but she lost her self-awareness as soon as she became his girlfriend.

Ramona Singer shared an emotional reaction to the news that Carole Radziwill was leaving The Real Housewives of New York City after six seasons on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen Wednesday night's episode.

"I don’t want to cry and ruin my makeup. No, no, I’m sad because I love Carole inside and out. I think she’s really warm, special, down-to-earth, truthful, giving, kind, supportive of women, genuine, smart, fabulous. I’m like, wow," Ramona shared on WWHL. "There’s gonna be a void."



Carole confirmed her exit from RHONY in a statement to Bravo TV's The Daily Dish on Wednesday. "After six seasons on Bravo’s RHONYC, I have decided to return to what I do best —  journalism and producing. I am sure this does not come as a surprise to any of the viewers, all of whom have been supportive, encouraging, and kind. My original curiosity about reality television has waned over the years and I am focusing on TV and writing projects that better suit my more steady temperament," she said. "I have worked with amazing producers, made great friends, and I’m thrilled to leave frenemies behind. I will remember this entire experience with delight, humor, and a veracious accuracy. Next."

David Beador Hopes Shannon Beador “Finds Happiness With The Men She Is And Has Been Dating” And Defends His New Relationship With Girlfriend Lesley Cook From Shannon And Tamra Judge; Says She Does “Not Deserve The Negative Press Those Two Conjure Up”

David Beador is setting the record straight on his divorce from Real Housewives of Orange County star Shannon Beador. “I think it’s sad for our children, Shannon chooses to share any aspect of our pending divorce through the press and on Bravo’s different TV avenues and advertisers [sic],” he told Page Six.

“There are two sides to every story and relationship as everyone knows. I believe most people see through it though,” he told the publication in regards to Shannon and Tamra Judge's claim that he and girlfriend Lesley Cook began speaking in October.

“Moreover, her and Tamra’s suggestion that Lesley and I met prior to my separation was a premeditated lie that I’m sure was talked about by the two of them prior to filming that scene. Nonetheless, Lesley is [a] beautiful, amazing, happy [woman] and mother. She and her family do not deserve the negative press those two conjure up.”

David then claims that he wishes his ex-wife the best along with throwing a bit of shade towards her way

“Finally, I will always wish Shannon the best and hope she finds happiness with the men she is and has been dating,” he concluded.

As previously reported, Shannon announced during last year's reunion that she and David split, a few weeks later he moved out of the home he shared with Shannon and their three daughters — Sophie, 16, and twins Stella and Adeline, 14.

Shannon and David are currently going through a nasty divorce and custody battle.

Carole Radziwill Quit RHONY Over Her Feud With Bethenny Frankel, Sources Say!

According to a new report, Carole Radziwill's decision to leave The Real Housewives of New York City may not have just been about getting back to her career in journalism and producing. But apparently her ongoing feud with co-star Bethenny Frankel influenced her choice.

In RHONY‘s tenth season, the former besties have had a very strained relationship, which Frankel has said made filming the show “challenging” for her. As a result of the animosity between them, Radziwill’s departure from the Bravo hit reality series may be for the best, sources say.

“They never seemed to be able to reconcile. The show couldn’t go on another season with both of them at each other’s throats. And Bethenny’s an OG. She’s been there since the beginning. She’s a [piece of work], but she gives the show a lot of energy,” a source tells PEOPLE. “There’s no way they’re going to do it without her. Last time she left, the show went to hell.”

The source continues, “Keeping Bethenny happy will always be top priority — the same way it is with Lisa Vanderpump, Teresa Giudice, and NeNe Leakes. So if it came down to one or the other, you can guess who [producers] would pick.”

However, one production source insists that as far as producers are concerned, Radziwill could have chosen to stay: “She was not pushed to leave. She left on her own accord.”

Apparently, Radziwill’s sudden departure has hit her other co-stars hard.

“The rest of the cast is all freaked out about the negative energy and upset to see Carole go,” a third source tells PEOPLE. “She was the one sane voice who was cool, calm and collected.”

Radziwill announced her impending exit from the series on Wednesday, saying, “After six seasons on Bravo’s RHONY, I have decided to return to what I do best —  journalism and producing. I am sure this does not come as a surprise to any of the viewers, all of whom have been supportive, encouraging, and kind. My original curiosity about reality television has waned over the years and I am focusing on TV and writing projects that better suit my more steady temperament,” she said in a statement.

She continued, “I have worked with amazing producers, made great friends, and I’m thrilled to leave frenemies behind. I will remember this entire experience with delight, humor, and a veracious accuracy. Next.”
