It’s time for another episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, which once again will include a lot of Brandi behaving badly.
Lisa Vanderpump
Lisa is going to go to lunch with Brandi and hear her out. Brandi thinks she has is owed an apology. For what? I don’t understand what Lisa did to her? Lisa says that Ken is very hurt by Brandi’s backstabbing. Brandi thinks she and Lisa have a similar personality. Lisa disagrees.
Lisa wants to know what Brandi wants an apology for. Brandi says “the Scheana stuff.” Lisa apologizes for not giving Brandi a heads up that Scheana was going to be at some filming they did. Brandi apologized for repeating gossip that she heard. Brandi says I was an asshole to you but you started it. Lisa says she can’t be the friend that Brandi wants. They agree to be cordial. Lisa makes Brandi pay for lunch. Only they don’t ever have to pay for lunch.
Yolanda Foster
Bella has a photo shoot. But don’t worry, Yolanda punished her by taking her phone away for three weeks. She’s also buying her an apartment in NYC. Bella is 17.
Lisa Rinna
Lisa, Yolanda, Eileen and Brandi all go out to a lovely oceanfront restaurant. Yolanda is throwing a party the next day. Brandi talks about her lunch with Vanderpump.
The topic turns to their husbands. Brandi brings up that Eileen and Vince were both married when we met. Eileen talks about how hard it was for everyone. She says they were both honest with their spouses when their feelings developed. I Eileen says that she has a lot of compassion for Brandi because Eddie was not upfront with her and she was so blindsided. Brandi is gulping wine. Brandi asks if she is friends with Vince’s ex-wife and she says yes. Everything seems to be going fine with this conversation.
Brandi changes the conversation to Days of Our Lives storyline. Eileen plays a very evil villain on that show. She is not on at the moment but she will be coming back in the spring carrying the baby of her ex-boyfriend that she had evil doctors extract from her ex-boyfriend’s knocked up fling. It’s delicious. They all try to force Eileen to act like Kristen, her evil DOOL character. She really doesn’t want to. They are insistent. Eileen jokes she needs money and a script. Lisa and Brandi both throw money at her. Eileen says, “I can’t do it. What am I a trained circus seal?” Brandi says, “I am going to throw a drink on you in one second.” She says it again. Then she tosses wine right in Eileen’s face.
Lisa is appalled. She says she would have gone across the table at Brandi and been in a cop car. Everyone at the table except Brandi is horrified. Eileen is in tears and humiliated. Yolanda admonishes Brandi. That pretty much ends the outing and everyone leaves in a bad place
Kyle Richards
Alexia is going off to college and Kyle is helping her pack. She’s also teaching her how to do laundry. Kyle cries and tells Alexia if she doesn’t like it at her college she can come home and go to school locally. My parents used to tell me I could come home at any time until the died/went into assisted living.
Yolanda Foster
Yolanda hires someone to cater her party. You know what I do when I am very ill? I though parties and film for long hours on my reality TV show. Oh wait, no I don’t. Before the party Eileen talks to Vince about the incident with Brandi. Eileen didn’t sleep well after that happened and is self-conscious that she looks tired. She looks amazing. Vince asks if she’d like a glass of wine and she says she thinks she will avoid wine for a while. Vince says Brandi is psycho. Yolanda is worried about Brandi’s behavior at her party. David is there and so is Babyface so we can expect to be blessed by their talents.
Yolanda tells Kyle that Brandi threw wine in Eileen’s face. David and Vince seem to hit it off. Ken was unavailable to attend. Eileen told Vanderpump about Brandi tossing wine in her face. Brandi comes to the party looking like a hooker with her dress up to her butthole. Eileen is freaked out by Brandi. She feels like Brandi is sort of a stalkerish fan.
Rinna meets Yo’s refrigerator. It really is amazing.
Brandi tries to talk to Eileen who asks if she left the weirdo superfan at home. Then Brandi, who appears to be wearing a bump-it, says yes and immediately goes into a spiel about what a fan she is. Rinna says it is the weirdest thing she has ever witnessed. Brandi calls Eileen to the side and sort of apologizes and gives her a necklace. Brandi says she was drunk and a bit fangirled out. Eileen accepts her apology with grace.
Dinner is fabulous. Yolanda makes a toast to David, to Eileen for her Emmy and then toasts to Lisa for her new restaurant and then says , “Next time invite us.” Vanderpump thinks that Yolanda should be able to figure out why she wasn’t invited after the way she treated Ken. Vanderpump has clearly not forgiven that.
At dinner, Brandi is drunk again despite the most elaborate menu of beautiful food, she’s apparently drinking dinner. David Foster calls her out for flirting with BabyFace right in front of his wife. Brandi says his wife is very lovely, and asks to see “the ring” and then says, to BabyFace, who she met five minutes ago, “I do think we could go bigger.” Babyface point out it is not about the size, it’s about the love. Brandi just keeps digging a bigger hole. She is apparently still wearing the rock Eddie bought her. Why hasn’t she hocked that for money for a damn house?
Dessert is fancypants s’mores around the fire pit. Brandi is drunk and fangirling out over Lisa Rinna and Eileen about DOOL again. Its all very cringeworthy. They kindly dismiss her and she sits on David’s lap and screams at Yolanda’s “I’m sitting on David’s lap!” David pleads with Yolanda to deal with her. Lisa Rinna and Eileen sneak off to discuss the fact that Brandi is not all there. They both find Brandi pathetic and neurotic and they pity her. It’s sad.
It’s time for the David Foster concert. He is going to write a song on the spot based on the title that someone throws out. He says, “Give me a title, anybody?” Kyle says, “I love my life.” David tells Babyface to do a ballad with that title. And Brandi says, ” Why don’t you do it like this, like you are finger banging your wife?” and makes a hand motion meant to demonstrate finger banging. In Rinna’s talking head she says, “If that is not white trash, I don’t know what is.” Brandi requests that the word finger banging be including. Babyface actually puts it in there. I am shocked Yolanda didn’t have Brandi escorted off the premises. Perhaps her driver was not out there yet. Brandi is just annoying to watch.
Next week, Eileen, Yolanda and Kyle all send a kid to college.
I’m pretty sure Brandi has rabies.
I so wish I had written that.
Well said Mrs. Ferigno! Thanks for the chuckle too!
This is some of the worst TV I have ever witnessed. And I watch the news. What a train wreck. Watch What Happens Live was even worse. Brandi breaks down crying. On live TV. Stop giving this woman alcohol! Yolanda is a washed up bitter hag….Kyle is still just desperate for any type of relevancy. Lisa is done with this crew…..This whole mess just needs to GO! But on the bright side, I love Lisa Rinna and Eileen and hey….at least someone finally made Kim Richards look good/ normal. In all seriousness though, it is clear Brandi is extremely mentally ill and Bravo is milking that for all it’s worth at the expense of her and her family’s well being and it’s just sad and just downright wrong. I’m officially out on this show
I’m pretty sure she has a lot more than that.
Brandi both lacks class and is clearly outclassed by these women. She will never have the kind of fairy tale life she desperately wants if she continues to repulse people with her gutter mouth and trashy ways. I’m tempted to spray disinfectant around my tv when she’s on the screen.
Ken has the showed the most class of all! He knew not to go to this function.
Very poetically put and very accurate..I think I will hashtag in you honor..Mrs. Ferigno
Best line all night.
Mrs. Ferigno, That is priceless, I wish I had thought of it.
How many sending kids to college episodes we need?
My thoughts exactly. And just when things were getting good.
Exactly, with the kids off to college roles. Most of us have or will send kids off to college and have much more $$ worries than these ladies have. I sent 3 in 3 years, and none got an apartment in NY for cripes sake. Most of these BH wives have spent more time socializing than home with kids or working a hardass job to help kids thru college. Give me a break with the woe is me college leaving kids.
Yep the woe is me my kids are going to college thing really makes me hit the ff button
I prefer these to the wedding episodes.
Oh god yes…
Oooh. That’s a hard call. I think I choose option #3: drink antifreeze.
I would literally rather watch a full hour of Kyle and Yolanda ugly crying as they buy twin bed sheets for their daughters’ dorm rooms (or, who are we kidding, high rise apartments) than one more second of Brandi embarrassing herself.
THANK YOU!!!
Kids go to college–a true privilege and good for them. I mean that sincerely! I just feel we had more than enough of this last season. Then there was RHOOC with kids moving away from their (crazy and suffocating) parents, too!
Unless you’re going to have a MASSIVE meltdown like Tamra Judge did when Ryan brought his girlfriend to dinner, then I’m over this kid-separation stuff.
PS: that was the only time I can ever remember enjoying a scene with Tamra Judge in it.
I have to admit, as someone with no children, I sort of get now why my mom cockblocked me going to college for as long as she could. I did a joint enrollment program my senior year and she still would not let me go on time. She wanted community college for two years. Then when I finally went… she paid for a sweet pad.
My much older siblings still haven’t forgiven me.

I spent most of this episode appalled. What the hell is wrong with Brandi? That’s one sad individual.
Why is my comment “awaiting moderation”?
My unprofessional guess, is that she is totally fucked up in the head 🙂
I actually think that’s the technical term.
That was embarrassing to watch.
Eileen is a much better woman than I because I would have gone off on Brandi after the wine incident.
I think Kyle said it best in that gif …..”Are you fucking kidding me”, Brandi? She needs some serious therapy.
I particularly liked the Eileen and Lisa R private exchange trying to figure out Brandi’s astonishingly inappropriate remarks and behaviour. They end concluding that she behaves like a very hurt little girl. Lisa R says she feels sad for her and also wants to spank her. Then later when David Foster is asking for lines and Brandi remarks that his finger waving makes her wonder if he wants to finger bang his wife, Yolanda actually does spank her a little as that swat to her thigh was hard.
Just watched the wine throwing incident…..appalled. Please Bravo get rid of Brandi.
Sadly I’m guessing we have at least one more Brandi season coming to us since Brandi is featured heavily on Celebrity Apprentice. Hopefully when everyone forgets about her on that show Bravo will recast her spot and downgrade her to merely Yolanda’s friend.
Her intro on CA: the megastar of reality tv no less. I got to go cleanse after watching this dirt.
looks like yolanda still can’t get over the fact that she wasn’t invited, was that comment during her toast really necessary? ( although the root of her bitterness towards lvp is kind of confirmed…Mohammed)
Please Andy, bravo, whoever, just get rid of brandi she is beyond disgusting and inappropriate at this point. I promise no one will miss her.
Oh and lvp’ apology sounded really familiar, probably because she said the same apology at the season 4 reunion
Can you explain why Yolanda is bitter because of Mohammed? I just want to understand where her passive aggressiveness toward Lisa comes from. Thanks in advance!
Lisa V is friends with Mohamed, so whoever his wife is at the time she is friendly with. Maybe Yo felt their friendship was more personally HER relationship with Lisa…but as Lisa has shown…the new wife to be of Ms she has gone shopping with (that expensive necklace at the beginning of the season) and rallied to get her on the show. I think Yo assumed that would naturally roll over with her new love. Anyway, the answer is Lisa V and Mohammed are friends…Yo was married to him once, many years ago.
Yolanda was ragging on Lisa about not inviting her to yet a SECOND event, fist Not-Invite was the star of Beverly a hills, second Not-Invite was to the opening of Pump. Yolanda did not get it after the non-apology the first time around and is stupid enough to go there again!
I am not stupid! And get your hand off of me!!
I really enjoyed Eilleen and Lisa R this episode. I have been, but they are so fun to watch specifically together. My sis and I would have had the same fun in Yos fridge, as well as the convo about Brandi being crazy.
I’m kind of glad with Yos snobbish jabs at Lisa, as well as Brandis lack of memory, they are showing clips from last year to show them maybe what specifically they did wrong. Apparently their memory is shit. I’ve noticed it 2-3 times specifically for YO so maybe she’ll get it.
For the first time in the network history, the newbs are better than the regulars and more fun to watch. I think there needs to be a little pot stirring, but something different than Brandy. She’s so far out of her league it’s kind of sad, in a funny way. Look at her skirt on WWHL…total trash indeed.
I’m glad they’re editing in Lisa’s favor this season, because, no matter how one feels about LVP, I think it’s hard to deny that she and Ken were truly treated unfairly and sometimes cruelly last season.
Ya know when Yo kind of called for a cab and and check after the wine throwing? I wish they’d all end the party when Brandy ruins it for someone. Its the only way to instill shame and the group would eventually tire of having to end the fun because of her mouth. I’m thinking it would be a great deal of effort, but might teach her humility.
Brandi is seriously depressed and self-medicating herself with tons of alcohol. She is clearly an alcoholic, who uses ‘liquid’ courage to do and say things that are totally inappropriate at every social gathering. She needs in-house therapy which unfortunately she can probably not afford and proceeding along that line would probably endanger her having physical custody of her children.
Her dress wasn’t up to her “butt-hole” and she didn’t look like a hooker. She is over six feet tall and every dress will look a bit shorter on her than any average height woman. Her dressed covered her butt and fell down to the middle of her long legs. It may not have been a good dress for her, but it was an expensive attractive dress and she didn’t look like a hooker. What exactly does a hooker look like? Have you seen hookers up close? Do you know where they shop and what they wear? Why call a woman or anyone out of her name, particularly since Brandi is not a hooker. A hooker is someone who exchanges sex for money. She doesn’t do that.
Lisa Rinna calling Brandi “white trash” is laughable. Lisa Rinna has been called “white trash” back when she met Harry who was still married. Rinna talking about watching porn with Harry is as trashy as Brandi’s comments. Nandi having a “show” on TV where they talk about giving head, dildos, spanking, and f….king is about as trashy and gross a conversation I’ve ever witnessed on TV.
Brandi is so white trash and her outfit on WWHL proves it.
I agree with the first part of your comment-I think it’s obvious Brandi has psych issues and if not an alcoholic, is well on her way.
I don’t think Lisa R. making one comment about watching Porno (with her husband) holds a candle to three (?) seasons of Brandi’s trashiness. If Brandi had only made the single comment about “finger banging” and nothing else -she would out-trash all the RHOBH housewives. I don’t recall her dress at the party (I’m almost 6 ft tall and slender so I know hard it is to find a nice dress) but her dress on WWHL was meant to be worn only in the bedroom-may have been La Perla but it was pure sleaze.
Fwiw, Harry may have been married when they met but wasn’t his wife having an affair?
Is anyone watching WWHL right now? Jeff Lewis is tearin Brandi a new one. I almost feel sorry for her.. Omg…
I’m loving it. I love Jeff Lewis even more. Did you hear Brandi tell Jeff he had better watch it, MFer? He was ripping her a new a $$ hole, long overdue.
I can’t watch the episode of WWHL. 🙁
I hope TT recaps it or you guys break down the best bits for me.
I guess they made up after the seemingly extra long commercial break because he actually took her side over Eileen’s regarding the wine throwing incident. He said Eileen was being overly dramatic in her response…really? I guess Andy made him back off of her.
No! I love Jeff, in a war betweem him and Brandi my money is on Jeff.
Right? And it’s like Andy is GLAD to have him there. Trash. If the gays don’t have room for her, then, who?
Brandi should be on Vanderpump Rules. Those people are more to her sophication and class level. Matter fact she and Kristen Doute should be Bffs. Crazies got to stick and stalk together. Throwing wine on someone at all is trashy but to do that someone you don’t even know while being on television is beyond words. I don’t know how Eileen kept her composure. She’s a class act. I also love her and Lisa R together.
She’s only about 2 steps above, so you’re right. Her other job was modeling…otherwise waitressing I would think would be the only other option. But with the whole Scheanna thing…Lisa doesnt need that shit. Not to mention that although she acts like them, shes twice their age.
with all the cheating Eddie did why is she fixated on a girl that was so young and lied to about his situation? It’s like all her hurt and dramz is put on Scheana, not the ex.
Wow, your totally right-never thought of that. She’d be perfect on that show.
I was surprised Jeff Lewis said he thought Eileen was being overly dramatic-I thought she showed great composure-clearly she was hurt, embarrassed and humiliated. She had tears in her eyes- here they are, having a nice dinner and all of a sudden some bitch (You’ve only just met) throws wine in your face when you don’t comply with some weird request.
The Brandi fans all thought that Lisa Rinna and Brandi were tight this season but it sounds like Rinna is just placating Brandi by appearing on her podcast etc.
She isn’t very friendly in her talking heads, which is great.
How can Yolanda tolerate Brandi and her actions but she continues to admonish Lisa Vanderpump for excluding her from a couple of events she wouldn’t have wanted to appear at anyway?
Are y’all watching???????
priceless
I used to hate watching Brandi act stupid and make an ass of herself now I relish it. I thoroughly enjoy it because she IS an ass and has no shame but it’s fun watching her be a total dipshit idiot!!
Dayum shit just got real on WWHL!
Do tell!
Earlier on the show a caller asked Brandi to run her fingers threw Jeff’s hair like Andy did to Kenya to prove he doesn’t wear a wig and Jeff said “Can I get an STD from that?” Which was hilarious, by the way.
Anyway, then the show goes on an all of a sudden, coming back from the last commercial break, Brandi interrupts Andy and says (to Jeff) “This is for the STD comment” AND THROWS HER WINE IN HIS FACE!!! Andy and Jeff were both stunned — I was stunned! WTF is wrong with this woman. It was so awkward — Jeff and Andy could not believe it. Brandi then turned around, crying her botox tears and Jeff and Andy, both still flabbergasted started apologizing to her, it was a joke, etc. until she finally turned around and Andy did his Mazel. Trick is having a nervous breakdown on TV, IMO.
Thank you for this. It sounds amazing.
I thought it was fake for a second! Im like in shock! TT welp.
Oh lordy, Brandi has decided to be pissed about the STD comment 10 minutes later and throws her wine in Jeff’s face. Said she was upset, Jeff said we just talked about it during the commercial and I apologized and we were okay. Brandi then began to cry and turned her back to the camera. Andy and Jeff were taken aback. Drama Mama is mixing her meds and booze really bad tonight.
She can dish it but she sure as hell can’t take a joke. Aren’t joke banters at someone elses expense hilarious, Brandi??? Super funny.
Holy mackerel!!!
How long do I have to wait for the WWHL aftershow to air? Yowzers!!!
Girl needs some serious help and fast.
Holy shit! Brandi just threw wine on Jeff Lewis & then had a crying breakdown. This woman needs to get off TV & get some help.
First thing she says to Jeff as WWHL is wrapping up is “you’re a fucking asshole.” Wow.
“Clean up in Aisle 3 — there’s some white trash that needs to be taken out!”
Lol
Ok wtf? That was crazy! The comment Jeff made wasn’t even a big deal. I honestly thought he went way , way easy on her. She deserves it! My God, the things she says to people every time she opens her mouth are much worse. It’s as if she thinks she can behave however she wants and say whatever she wants, to anyone she wants , anytime she wants but when she has to face that person the next day along with the group of other women who all thought she was wrong, SHE doesn’t want to feel uncomfortable so just says I’m sorry and expects everyone to just forgive and forget instantly and pretend it never happened. And she always pulls the sympathy card. Uhg! It’s old! But let someone say one thing to her and she freaks tfo and starts crying like a baby. She is a perfect example of someone who can dish it out but can’t take it. Hwbh was embarrassing to wAtch tonight and wwhl may have been even worse. Lock her up in a padded room for a while. She needs help!
Brandi said on Twitter later that the crying thing and wine throwing on WWHL was fake. She and Jeff worked it out. She turned around because she couldn’t stop laughing. They were just messing with Andy. She’s an idiot. LOL
Anyone watching the after show? Brandi just called Lisa a pimple for upgrading scheana’s bachelorette suite, what a …
Also Andy and Jeff are kissing her ass b/c Brandi started crying. Ugh…
Hahha I meant pimp! pIMP! Not pimple! Damn autocorrect…
That is funny!!!! I thought “pimple” ..??.. Ok! I guess You never know what Brandi will say.
To be honest I’d rather be called a pimp than a pimple. That was just mean HiKitty!
I finally decided to let go of this show and after reading this I am glad I did. If any women on this earth should be happy it is these old birds. If they can’t buy it outright they can buy all manner of people to teach them how to be happy. Brandi kind of confuses me. I know she’s been in rehab so she says but generally when people go to rehab they have to abstain from all drugs. As an alcoholic I have to kind of even question if she really is this bad or just putting on the dog for the cameras. Sometimes I wonder why the husband doesn’t sue for custody based on what is shown on that show. Maybe Leann won’t let him. I understood her snapping back at Joanna Krupa but this ‘finger-banging’ stuff is beyond the pale. As someone from Appalachia I resent the “white trash” comment because I have always said that that is a situation of birth, and redneck is a choice, but Brandi is neither, she is just gross. If she doesn’t understand why that terminology isn’t appreciated in those circles she is going to find out. I also can’t understand why Kyle and Brandi went crawling back to Lisa VP after writing her off last year. Makes no sense at all, I lost all respect for them and wrote off the show when I saw that was beginning to happen.
Is it possible that was staged? I mean who acts like that in real life? As the credits were rolling I saw her lips mouthing curse words at him. Then he asked Andy was the show almost over. This should be all over the blogs tomorrow. All through the show he was throwing digs at her. His body language even showed he wanted no parts of her. Then he started being kinda nice and that’s when she threw the wine at him and started crying.
Also why would she wait until commercial to throw the wine ? I don’t think andy or jeff expected it but brandi knew what she was doing she wanted everyone to talk about and it worked
She mouthed “you are such an effing a-hole” clearly knowing the camera would catch it. It was too awkward to be staged. Her cringeworthy moments are SL blurring together. She’s crazy all the time. And goes out f her way to be crude. She seems desperate. I can’t watch
The expression on Jeff’s face makes me believe it was for real. He looked totally confused and mortified. So did Andy.
She didn’t get the irony of it being done to her. Comical. I felt bad for her except that the timing was off, over dramatic and she’d done worse to people not only a zillion times, but several times tonight alone! It was enough of a mind f*** to distract me from Sherees nonsensical blatherings above.
What exactly was nonsensical about my post, bragging. The girl needs help and that’s what I shared along with a slew of other people. There was no irony to the WWHL show. Brandi needs rehab and in-hospital therapy. She is obviously very depressed, mixing prescription drugs with alcohol and it is quite horrible that some doctor has been prescribing xanax for her. Xanax mixed with alcohol can be very deadly. Xanax is a very addictive, dangerous benzodiazapam and it cannot be mixed with alcohol. That is what Whitney Houston did and it was a deadly mix. She wasn’t being overdramatic. Brandi is sick and needs help and can’t control her feelings or her reactions to others. She has no impulse control.
I recall someone coming here and posting some very MEAN comments about Tamara asking if she took her meds. Lots of posters attacked the person who said this and rightfully so. Making fun of people with anxiety/depression/substance abuse, etc is despicable. The stigma attached to mental illness is sadly still alive and well. Why attack someone that is so obviously ill. You’re an asshole
So you’re the mental health expert and morality police. Got it. Bet you’re SUPER fun at parties.
As a Days fan, I found this whole episode to be cringworthy & slightly off-putting. I will admit, I am a “superfan” as Eileen & Lisa say, but omg I would never throw wine on ANYONE let alone b/c of a show. And then everything that followed….dear gawd.
I was with Brandi up until this point. Trust me, I get it. They are in your home 5 days a week for YEARS. You definitely do get more attached to the characters than you do a normal show. But Andy’s right, Brandi has severe impulse control issues. And I hope she’s in therapy. I don’t mean that in a bitchy way, but in a real “I worry for her” kind of way.
I watched Y & R for more than 30 years and never got “attached” to any of the characters on that show. I finally gave up on it a few years ago because the story lines got boring, and I didn’t like any of the new characters they were writing into the show.
YR doesn’t seem to have the same kind of “fandom” as GH and Days (even though they have more viewers), so I’m not completely surprised, but I still am a bit. I mean, I stopped watching Days for similar reasons for years (though I do watch again now, well except the last month b/c it’s terrible again). But just b/c you’re able to stop watching doesn’t mean you didn’t care about the characters when you were watching.
In any case, Brandi’s behavior made me want to rescind my “Days superfan” status.
That was the most magical WWHL EVER. I’m on the fence whether or not it was all staged, though…
I don’t believe it was staged and I believe there are some serious mental problems at play.
Brandi has made her bed but doesn’t want to lie in all of the shit she’s stirred up.
They made up on the after show and are going for drinks together. Or, at least until Jeff can think up a polite enough excuse to get the hell out of there!
By the by, if you Google “Histrionic Personality Disorder” it is very telling.
Mrs. Ferigno, you brought me out of lurkerdom with that one. I have thought this for quite some time, just didn’t want to say it.
It’s like watching an episode of the Beverley Hillbillies staring brandi mae.
This is some of the worst TV I have ever witnessed. And I watch the news. What a train wreck. Watch What Happens Live was even worse. Brandi breaks down crying. On live TV. Stop giving this woman alcohol! Yolanda is a washed up bitter hag….Kyle is still just desperate for any type of relevancy. Lisa is done with this crew…..This whole mess just needs to GO! But on the bright side, I love Lisa Rinna and Eileen and hey….at least someone finally made Kim Richards look good/ normal. In all seriousness though, it is clear Brandi is extremely mentally ill and Bravo is milking that for all it’s worth at the expense of her and her family’s well being and it’s just sad and just downright wrong. I’m officially out on this show.
I’m at the part where Brandi throws a drink on Eileen, and I am literally shocked, appalled and can’t help but laugh uncontrollably. LOL BRANDI IS SUCH TRASH! hahahaahaha
Kim’s reaction to Brandi’s wine-throwing incident was super cute and hilarious. She was super hot btw!! Kim is smoking in this episode!
I thought the fremschäden was bad watching RHONJ and it just got worse with WWHL. Brandi needs some serious help and a filter implant ASAP.
I’m showing my Brandi-ness. What is fremschaden?
Andy better be afraid — Brandi is one gummy bear short of a satchel of gold.
I don’t think it was staged. Jeff has a brand to protect & this was just embarrassing for him. And the premise of WWHL is a fun show not a place for a crazy ass nervous breakdown. And I don’t think Eddie gave Brandi HPV unless Brandi was some virgin when Eddie married her.
Jeff Lewis is going to make Brandi pay for that for the rest of his life! I cannot wait!
And on another note.. Can I just say.. I’m so sick of Yolanda going on and on about her damn husband. It grosses me out. I’m sorry. And their parties seem boring. It’s always all about David! Uhg! Why do they assume that everyone wants to sit around listening to him sing and play EVERY time he’s around. I know he’s david foster, I get it. But Uhg! I don’t care. It’s boring.
1. WWHL was awesome, first time I ever moved over to watch the after show 2. Yolanda is a dickhole.
Yolanda is an ice goddess. <3
omg the more this episode goes on, the more you realize that Brandi should have NEVER been cast with this group of women. LOL
This episode is the episode that just proves that Brandi is a regular trashy American. She’s crazy unpredictable, inappropriate and not fit for this league of women. I can’t help but laugh at how out of place she is though. What a trainwreck.
I know a lot of Americans. Don’t know any who act like Brandi, except for the mentally ill ones in my family, and they all got better after being institutionalized and with drug therapy.
I also know a lot of Americans. I’m one myself, and I have seen this behavior enough to know it is a stereotype.
I don’t think you realize what a horrible generalization you made about the average American woman.
You need to watch and learn from these housewives shows. If nothing else they have shown that even monied people crawl in the gutter, behave with abhorrence and have about as much class as a sewer roach. Money covers and conceals a lot of bad behavior.
“Stereotype” is the negative way of saying the statistical term “Coefficient of determination i.e. r2”. There are a lot of trashy women everywhere. My nation, as great as it is, has plenty to show off.
J.D., if you are saying this nation has plenty of trashy women to show off, you best back your ass up. Possibly that is all you see because that is all you are attracted to.
You sound young and daft.
I’m giggling waiting for JD, response.

#alloveryourface.
The cognitive dissonance you are now exhibiting about my romantic interests is laughable.
Back on topic, you are wrong on all fronts. Thanks for playing. 🙂
I really do think it is sad that people are giving air time that enables a seriously mentally ill woman. I have a number of people in my family who are mentally ill and she is emblematic of their behavior. She seems clearly manic-depressive. The alcohol is actually not because Brandi’s an alcoholic, but because she is trying to self-medicate her manic-depressive state.
The fact that the women on RHOBH always forgive her actually doesn’t help either; just enables her. She needs to be shunned and face the consequences of her actions sooner rather than later (although maybe already too late) so maybe she’ll hit bottom and either get help or be forced to get help once her self-medicating becomes debilitating.
I’m no professional, but Brandi seams more ODD than bipolar. Of course we only see edited Bravo and interviews. I haven’t read her books.
I am a mental health professional unfortunately and Brandi is textbook manic depressive/bipolar: hypersexuality, manic episodes, drug/alcohol abuse and addiction, grandiose delusions, paranoid rage, etc. etc. She “hits” many of the checkoff items on that list. It’s possible she can be ODD in addition to being bipolar.
If I were Lisa at the lunch, my answer to Brandi would be: “No; I’m not going to apologize. You need to grow up. I am not going to apologize for someone else’s affair with the husband of someone I didn’t even know at the time. That’s insane. I am also not going to fire someone who has been a loyal employee and a great friend of my daughter’s because she made a mistake that harmed you when I didn’t even know who you were. Period. Move on. Plus, this is LA. It is ridiculous to ask me to try to keep apart the people who’ve had affairs with other people’s partners. There’s not enough technology to keep track of that. I’m just going to expect everyone to be an adult and move on themselves. If you can’t do that; that’s on you.”
Because, Lisa – you cannot do enough or apologize enough or give enough love or money for a mentally ill person to cure them of their illness. That is a bottomless pit and your energy is best used elsewhere.
Sorry, while I understand where Eileen is coming from, I find the way she talks about ‘super fans’ very rude. While I am not in the public eye, I am well known in a fandom and have met fans and while it can be scary, I would never speak about them in the derogatory sense she does in his in the moment interviews. Don’t get me wrong, it can be scary but not all are by a long shot.
I believe Eileen is talking about the super obsessed fan. You know the one’s who can’t separate pretend from reality. The one’s that stalk you and the one’s that might ring your door bell and kill you when you answer!
Yeah Angel(?), That’s What I think. Scary!
The ones who ask you to act out scenes. The ones who throw wine in your face.
I agree with Angel. I met Eileen once (many years ago) and told her I was a fan and she was so nice and sweet.
Brandi is on a weird obsessed fan level.
So… Any guesses as to how long before Brandi is in rehab? She is so clearly alcoholic that I am surprised Kim hasn’t stepped in and tried to intervene. If I had a friend like that, I would not be enabling her… I would stage an intervention.
Thanks for getting this up so fast, Tamara. I knew there would be lots of comments about this episode.
And thank you for recapping CA, my favorite reality show ever!!! You are a great recapper. You get right to the meat of it. I really do love reading your site!
If next episode is entirely made up of “we’re sending our princesess off to college and need to cry through our botox” scenes, I’m out for the evening. I fast forwarded through Kyle’s scenes tonight for that reason.
Ditto!
Why did Yolanda have her hair pulled back into that ratty-looking nub for a dinner party, and who get dressed and THEN does their nails last? Where can I get that instant-dry nail polish? It takes me at least an hour to do my nails, and then I still have to be careful so I don’t fuck up my polish!
She is ill.
But ohhh her closet…. I die. And all those handbags. Got myself slobbering like my puppy waiting for his morning bacon.
We all know Lisa Rena had the best line of the night regarding Brandi, and she summed it up pretty well. I do not like how Brandi internalizes other people’s lives/stories and then turns their issues around to make it about her being victimized in some way. Her ex, Eddie Cibrian, was on Y&R for years, so she should have re-enacted scenes with him throughout their entire marriage, if she wanted to act so badly. Brandi thought Eileen could become her new pseudo-mommie like Lisa V. was in the past, and accept/encourage her potty mouth, bad behavior, and crazy antics. Nothing could be further from the truth. What she tried to portray as another one of her playful jokes backfired on her. Eileen did not expect/deserve to have wine thrown on her, and understandably she was concerned about her safety. Brandi’s behavior has led Eileen to believe she is an obsessed stalkerish fan who obviously would not respect boundaries, now that Bravo has the two of them on the same cast. She has serious impulse control and has been allowed to act out her entire life without real consequences or remediation. If she does something like this again, and she will, at the very least she could be arrested for disorderly conduct in a public place. Eileen’s fans are about to make Brandi’s life a living hell and she will wish for the days when Eddie cheating on her was her only problem.
Last year Yolanda chastised, shamed Lisa, and implied that she was old and out of step with the times, because Lisa supposedly treated Brandi like a child, mothered here and subsequently did not respect her as an adult. Brandi also was offended (and thankless).
THIS SEASON, Yolanda is doing exactly what she exaggerated and accused Lisa of doing, and much worse. Yolanda told Brandi that she should have had a time out for her behavior, and at dinner she said “You, Brandi Glanville, are on time out! Shh! You are not to talk tonight!” This from Yolanda, who claimed that Lisa could not admit wrong doing, or apologize.
Suprise! This season Yolanda is exactly everything that she called Lisa and more, being a self righteous hypocrite, doing what she faulted Lisa for doing, and for failing to admit wrong doing, and refusing to offer Lisa her apology. Yolanda is a Grade A ‘bee-otch’.
This is so true, Yolanda is trying the same approach with Brandi that Lisa VP tried last year.
I’m guessing that Lisa VP’s comment to Brandi’s parents at the party where she said “I blame it on the parents” wasn’t really a joke.
I’m starting to think that there is way more to Brandi’s comments about her father being a dealer back in the day. There is a special brand of abandonment issues from a childhood of neglect, if that’s what happened.
Along with Brandi’s other terribly bad actions, it is tacky to mention at each meeting with Lisa and Eileen that she has watched them since she was little. The last thing I would want to do as a fan is insult the actor and the wine throwing is beyond words.
I thought Yolanda was acting like a 3 year old at an adult’s party trying to get everyone to look at her with the dangerous prancing around the fire pit. I thought she had said she has balance problems. I dont feel her toast to David was appropriate, unless it was his birthday or their anniversary. She can thank him all she wants privately. All these public displsys are suspiciius looking, does he require this gratefulness, does she think it helps a marriage show security? Who does that publicly at every opportunity, to the world?
Brandi’s skirt on WWHL was so wrong. I couldn’t catch it but I believe she was claiming the big name designer doesn’t make slutty clothes. That sounds like something Nene would say. Let’s pray Nene doesn’t wear this look.
I hope Jeff Lewis buys property near Brandi’s house and creates years of remodeling noise or something rezoned through Brandi’s house so she has to move into a home on wheels.
I thought the same thing about Yolanda dancing around the fire pit! She looked ridiculous.
It shouldn’t be Lisa’s job to give Brandi a “heads-up” when Scheana will be filming. Brandi should make sure notifications like this are written into her Bravo contract or . . . . . fucking quit!
This is the only thing I sort of agreed with from Brandi. She did tell Lisa she did not want to be around Scheana on multiple occasions last season and it really did fall on deaf ears. After the sit down with Scheana, Brandi said she did not hate her but, did not under any circumstances want to be in her presence. I actually did believe Scheana’s explanation (that Eddie lied to her as well) BUT I do not condone one bit of Brandi’s behavior, or how she handled it with Lisa. I do not think I would want to be around another woman that had slept with my husband either.
With that said, Brandi’s behavior last might was pretty awful. I thought when she sat in David’s lap he was going to fling her across the yard. I would loved to have been a fly on the wall during the conversation between David & Babyface after that dinner party.
Yikes, sorry for the unintelligible writing! I started, left, cam back and hit send!!!!!
Does this woman ever think about how her actions effect her children? Does she ever think that her oldest might be teased about it? Does she ever think about Eddie using these clips to get full custody and child support? Oh wait, WTF am I thinking? Thinking and Brandi don’t go together!
Brandi should move to RHOCA or RHONJ….she would fit better. She is doing whatever Bravo says to do for the paycheck….hope she doesn’t need her soul at some point.
Just a quick comment:
I don’t think Brandi threw wine at Eileen because she’s an obsessed fan. I think Eileen’s adulterous love story pissed her off and this is how she expressed her anger and rage.
I’m glad Lisa isn’t going to forgive her. Brandi is a bottomless pit of crazy and dysfunction and too sick to be a decent friend or romantic partner. You can’t save her Lisa! I bet David will turn on Brandi at some point and she’ll be out of Yo’s good graces then too.
I wanted to add I felt awful for Eileen. She was shocked and humiliated. I think she’s a classy person that would never behave like Brandi so she was completely taken aback – hence the tears.
I bet if Brandi is back next season Eileen won’t be. That will be a real shame because I like what both Lisa R and Eileen add to the show.
At this point I hope they ax both Brandi and Kim. Kim is dead weight and Brandi has gone past “shit stirring but entertaining villain” to “tiresome uncouth embarrassment”
The bottom line is that it’s not entertaining. It’s uncomfortable to watch
Maybe Brandi’s third book should be titled “”Drinking & Self Destructing”!
Great title!
Brandi had a bit of public recognition and sympathy going for her as the wife scorned. But her flame of popularity has been sputtering ever since. I foresee that it is about to go out. It is now down to when, and how, Brandi becomes an unfortunate stastatic of celebrity. As for WWHL, seems to me that the two boys conspired successfully to set up Brani (with her complicit knowledge) in what was supposed to be a funny skit. But it seems that Brandi never caught on that the joke was on her.
I don’t know why but I just love Brandi no matter what she does. I find her antics very funny. I think it’s because she creates the most drama. I would be so bored without her on the show.
Aside from her purposeful tourettes problem, what’s unacceptable to us viewers is that Brandy tries to irrationally explain away and justify her bs. She must think we are total idiots because she keeps doing it over and over again. “I have nervous anxiety,” and “Do i have to apologize a million times?” So then just shut the fuck up next time you idiot! Duh. She is no different from Farrah Abraham. So clinically insecure and desperate for attention, both of them will stop at nothing.
I think that Brandy and Jeff are friends. It sounds like they do “dinner”. Most likely because he can talk trash about her to her face and she will allow it. I like Jeff but you have to let him denigrate you in order to be his friend (see Jenny). I don’t know if the wine thing was staged or not but I do think they have a relationship away from Bravo.
You are absolutely correct about a friendship with Jeff Lewis. There are many times he crosses the line in all of his relationships with hurtful remarks and antics. The people closest to Jeff must have a wealth of forgiveness, patience, understanding. Those dear souls will be sainted when going to heaven. The flip side of Jeff is a loving, giving and caring man who has a heart of gold. That saying, “to know him is to love him” fits Jeff to a tee.
I felt bad for Eileen. These women are doing a job and should not have to be subjected wine thrown in their face.
I was horrified for Eileen. In Brandi’s sick twisted mind as long as she apologizes, laughs and cries crocodile tears all is well regardless of her actions. This is not entertainment and get this girl some real help. I feel more for her poor kids.
Brandi wants Lisa to apologize for manipulating her and then abandoning her when the wind stopped blowing in Brandi’s favor. I totally understand that. The only tangible thing she can come up with though is the whole Sheanna or whatever her name is thing.
Basically Lisa and Brandi used to have a lot of behind the scenes conversations about the show and were heavily producing themselves, with Lisa directing Brandi. Which Brandi then exposed like the bad friend that she is, and then Lisa dropped Brandi like the bad friend that she is. Then they both started smearing each other, but Lisa being much more intelligent and charismatic hurt Brandi’s image much harder than the other way around.
Anyway, this episode made me cringe so much. Brandi was behaving so immaturely, unbelievable. What I did notice though is how David’s comment about the black guy being married came over as really condescending and rude to Brandi and hit her right where it hurts her most (cheating), which is what triggered her to release her childish emotions in many inappropriate ways.
Also the editing makes me think Bravo is done with Brandi and is completely spending her on what will be her last season. Like that cringe worthy death silence edit she got after saying the fingerbanging comment, while in reality all of them just awkwardly laughed it off.
If Brandi had thrown wine in my face I would have reached across that table and slapped her so hard she would have shit on herself and given her a good reason to (fake) cry about!
Honestly though I think production tells Brandi to act like that to keep her spot on the show…if she’s not on the show it would just be week after week of, “Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, how are youuuuuuuuuu”, fake air kiss, fake air kiss, “I loveeeeeeeeeeee what you’re wearing” fake air kiss, fake air kiss, etc…
ok, i hate that it’s going to look like i’m defending brandi here, because I’M NOT. I think Eileen should have left the restaurant immediately after Brandi threw her dirnk on her face. However, what I THINK may have been going on in Brandi’s head is that she was desperate for Eileen to perform for her as her soap opera roles, so Brandi was trying to create a soap opera moment by throwing her wine on Eileen’s face or something ridiculous. She’s fucking stupid. So over her and her disgusting face.
I pretty much spent the entire episode hiding under my blanket as Brandi was just non-stop embarrassing.
So, I just watched this last night. OH EMM GEE!!! Brandi is batshit crazy! Eileen and Rinna are right to be weirded out by her.
I loved how Eileen and Rinna went inside to talk about Brandi. They seem like they are good friends.
The whole episode had me shocked at Brandi’s behavior. I was appalled and embarrassed for her, and wondered what Brandi was thinking while she was watching this.
You guys have covered all of the horrific events of this episode that I won’t recap the many shared sentiments. However, I must say, watching a bunch of wealthy famous/semi famous people sitting around a piano singing “I love my life” kind of pissed me off. I don’t know if the feeling of indignation comes from jealously, or regret for choosing a career as a social worker that will never resort in fame or wealth. The part that confused me is because I specifically watch RHOBH because of the amount of real wealth and the beautiful homes vs. “I’m very Rich Bitch” mentality of RHOA or RHONJ. It just came off as pompous arrogant rich people saying “Look at me, I’m so happy” oh, well I guess that’s why they are on reality TV.
May need to go back to watching Beyond Scared Straight….where no one is singing “I love my life”
Now, back to my life – working 16 hour days with homeless severely & persistently mentally ill adults. “I love it” really, I do….but not enough to sing about it.
There is no way Brandi has forgiven Lisa. When Lisa apologized about Scheana, all Brandi said was “ok,” and her expression was hard, like she was acknowledging what Lisa was saying, but she didn’t accept it.
Am I the only one who still likes Yolanda? And I really really like LisaR and Eileen. Hell, I am even liking Kyle again. I think I need to lie down.
Kyle is so sad, she acts like a teen or a very young woman, like she got “stuck” at some earlier stage in life. I found her dramatic and pot-stirring but relatively likeable until she became a braggart. Tamara, do you think she resented the fact that Kathy Hilton (her sister) married rich and now that Mauricio makes a lot of money and can afford a luxury style, she can’t show it off enough? Poor thing, she really gets a sense of self-worth from it, doesn’t she? I don’t dislike her, I think she comes across as a good mom and supportive wife. She just tries too hard.
Honest question: if we do not attack kids as a general rule on this site, why is Bella fair game? She made a horrible mistake, terrible decision, and really hopefully learned from it. But I went back and read some posts and comments from right around that episode, and there are some truly horrible, venomous things said about her.
She endangered lives and what she did was inexcusable, no way of getting around that, but she’s only 17–that is still so young. Why is she not off-limits?
If you read my post, you would know that I didn’t even post the story at the time it happened. Now it is a storyline.

I don’t know if it’s too late to be posting this on the 26th, but some people seem pretty harsh when it comes to Yolanda and David. Some of that could be a bit of jealousy. So many of us have had loving, affectionate relationships then, at some point, we say “where did it go?’. I understand Yolanda has been having a horrendous time with that damn Lyme disease!!! Right now it’s really keeping her bedridden, when she is not traveling the Far East searching for a cure or improvement at least. Dealing with that the last 2-3 years has taken it’s toll and she probably acts more clingy than is her nature. Just some thoughts… Concerned
