The best thing about this season being over is that Brandi’s ghostwriter, who clearly gets paid by the word will soon shut the fuck up. It’s not that these blogs aren’t hysterical. They are, but they are so absurd they are mildly infuriating. When someone hires another to spew their lies and delusions is that their way of distancing themself from the bullshit? Does she really not know she is lying and deluded? Does she not know she has a drinking problem? Does she really not get that she burns bridges with everyone that tries to be her friend? It’s sort of infuriating not to be sure if she is evil and calculated, or legitimately mentally ill.
At any rate, the ghost writer has shat out another 1500 or so words this week and I am going to take look at them.
She has upped the ante on the opening with some proclamation of love for her sons. This week she talks about how the horrific plane crash in Europe caused her to modify her “flight prayer” to include Leann Rimes. I’m not making this up. Perhaps her new ghostwriter is that idiot at the FishWrapper? Anyway, let’s just skip over the bullshit for future courtroom use, and stick with the bullshit about the show.
As I look over this past season, all I can say is it’s been an odd one. There were so many fun moments that got lost in the drama and so many weeks of fun you never saw at all. I wish you had, but I’m not in control of everything we get to see. I’d like to remember having fun with Kim “stalking” my now boyfriend J.R. That was such a crazy fun girls’ night, Lisa R. being chased by killer bees, Yolanda and her Facetime confusion and meeting her family for the second time this–time in Holland, the Foster Foundation Extravaganza, “singing” at Lisa V.’s birthday party, and Kyle pretending to be a caring sister and owning yachts and planes…haha. Ok, I’ll behave.
Yes, of course, you and Kim stalking people and hiding in potted plants, Lisa being chased by bees, Yolanda suffering mental confusion due to a chronic illness, calling Lisa Vanderpump and her birthday guests menopausal mamas, and insulting Kyle repeatedly are all super fun things we didn’t get to see enough of.
Here we are at the last episode of the season, yet, it seems most are still stuck in the beginning. I wish we weren’t, and I would dearly like to leave “Poker Night” behind. However, one person continues to make it the focal point of every interaction from when it happened and far into the three-part reunion.
Would that be the person who was stuck in a car for an hour with a drug addict on pain pills behaving erratically? I can’t believe this would be something she would want discuss with the group.
This episode opens with Rinna tearing down a swing set, but her home interviews are still about what she perceives as Kim’s issues to be, not the actual touching moment of what the swing set tear-down symbolizes or her own family (I can’t wait for her daughters to write their Brooke Shields-style memoir when they are age appropriate).
Lisa Rinna’s girls will be literate enough to write their own tell all book, Brandi’s boys come from a shallow gene pool and are “homeless” moving from school to school so their book about their drunk mama will have to be written by Kristine. She really should be plugging it here now, while she has the chance.
LR says she feels sorry for Kim and cares about Kim and wishes Kim well. The truth is a lot less pretty. Some people have been attacking Kim’s sobriety online this week, but we won’t name names. BTW, Kim is sober and not online. She is busy caring for serious ill family members and driving back and forth to doctors and hospitals and being strong for her family.
I think Brandi gave us a pretty good idea of what addicts do when a family member is seriously ill on the finale. Hopefully, the reason Kim is not online is because she is back at Circe Lodge. I didn’t see anything about Kim being at the hospital with her family when her mutt tried to bite her niece’s hand off. It seems she disappeared then too.
Next we see Nicky Hilton’s book signing–sister Paris and mom Kathy Hilton are there. Looks like a great party and congrats to Nicky on her style book. Camille looks gorgeous as usual. Kyle angrily flips her hair, because Kim was wearing a shirt that she carries at “her” shop, but didn’t buy it there…whatever. Then Kyle whispers about her sister Kim to Lisa V. and Camille. Kyle then tells them she is confused and impatient that Kim hasn’t confronted me over her third-hand Lisa R. gossip. She states Kim WILL be hurt and broken hearted over what “I” said… Kyle seems way too overy excited about that happening, which I find kind creepy. Why would anyone WANT their sister to be hurt or in pain?!
Hoping that your addict sister recognizes that her new alcoholic BFF doesn’t have her best interest at heart is not wanting someone to be in pain. It’s called trying to protect her.
The preparations for Adrienne’s party are in full swing next. Lisa V. is fretting it, Kim is casually discussing the intervention GOSSIP with her makeup artist before the party, I’m getting ready and waiting for my friends and my date.
Did I miss the friends and the date? I think the dude that came with you is the hairdo gay that shows up for TV time when you are filming and squats wherever you are squatting for the season. Do consider him Brandi’s friend or her date?
Adrienne’s party is the big finale of our journey this year. Everyone is there, and Adrienne always excels at events.
LOL. “Adrienne always excels at events.” Has Kristine watched this show?
So here we go. First off, my mind was not on the party at all. My father was recently hospitalized, and I didn’t leave his side for two weeks.
Really? Because Brandi was tweeting from all over the place and filming Steve Harvey and filming the RHOBH. So maybe you Facetimed for two weeks?
It was very serious, but I had to return home to my boys. He was still not conscious, but I needed to get home to run my household–a party was the last place I wanted to be, but I had promised. That’s why I decided to bring the few people that I felt I could depend on in that moment. My friends and J.R. have been there for me during my father’s health scare and over more then a month of hospitalization–that was and is what remains what’s important to me.
See if you want this to be your spin you have to not say tell us what you are really doing on Twitter when all of this is going on. Otherwise you just look foolish.
The party seems like it was fun for a lot of people who weren’t involved in Kyle and Lisa. R.’s drama. I wish I were one of them, but in a way I was. As much as Kyle relished telling Kim the hurtful gossip she heard from LR, what she wanted to happen didn’t happen. There was no argument between Kim and I. We were happy to see each other. We spoke easily. I was busy worrying about my Dad; she was busy with her family.
Delusion, Party of Two, your table is ready. You and your ghost writer may have a seat now.
What we saw on the finale was an efficient Kim quietly confronting Lisa R., then leaving Lisa R.’s table somewhat amused. Lisa R. couldn’t confirm the veracity of her gossip, because I DIDN’T SAY IT. Thanks again to Bravo for showing the truth in a flashback last week.
I love how the Bravo web site admin always posts the actual conversation each time Kristine writes this below the actual denial. It’s a lovely juxtaposition of fact and fiction.
So, Kim knew who was who and what was what. The entertainment of the night was provided by Lisa R. going radio silent while Kyle begged for corroboration on her dramatic intervention gossip. Watching Yolanda, Eileen, and Lisa V. urge Lisa R. to support Kyle and verify her hurtful gossip was almost amusing. You can’t confirm what didn’t happen, can you?
I hope they play the scene at the reunion frame by frame for Brandi. And Kim.
In the end, I left the party early. Why? Not because of a past friendship with Lisa V. It’s not her that made me cry–I was crying for my father, my dad! I was in no place to be at a superficial party, discussing a superficial incident with a person who was clearly not a friend, not that night. I said I would show up, and I did. After that, I wanted to be with my real close friends and family. Since this party my dad came out of the ICU and after 2 entire months and after a long stressful time I want to thank Dr. Allen Morris and all the doctors and nurses at Mercy General Hospital of Sacramento for saving my dad’s life yet agin for the second time in 15 years. He is doing much better and continuing his hope of a full recovery. I am so thankful to all the people who were there for me and continue to be here for my family and I.
Spellcheck. My family and me. Who are these “real close friends?” They should have an intervention.
THAT is what life’s about, being with the people who truly love and care about you and the feelings are reciprocated.
As you hear, at the end of the finale, I am wistful, yet, wiser, and I think in a stronger place. I love and loved being there for Kim and being Kim’s friend, and I love that she was, is, and has been here for me. Even more so, I’m grateful and blessed to have Yolanda in my life; she is no bullsh–. Even when suffering herself, she is still so selfless. Yo is very special to me, I love her, she gets me, we have fun together, and I value every moment we spend together. I always will. As for the rest, I hope to share laughs and fun again, maybe tears, but hopefully only joy.
This reads as funny until you realize how deeply sad it is. Do you think Brandi actually pays Kristine for this?
Delusional. I’m not sure I’m going to be able to watch the reunion.
Have her kids literally changed schools every time she moved? I would sincerely hope not, because, my god.
The hospitals Kim’s driving to are for her adult child, I assume.
It must be emotionally devastating for Kim’s kids to have to deal with her public reputation.
I would not wish an ill child on anyone. To Bravo’s credit, they at least left Kim’s kids alone this season.
I’m embarrassed to even admit that I used to love Brandi. She was a breath of fresh air at first, but now that’s turned into a gale force full on histrionic personality disorder. It’s hilarious seeing all the women getting their hair and makeup professionally done, yet Brandi is sitting on her bedroom floor in front of a streaky mirror, doing her own makeup while her ‘hairstylist & roommate’ combs through her ratsnest hair.
Yeah it reminded me of my college days!
I liked her at first, too. I actually kind of empathized with her at first. I even laughed about Leann going to rehab. But it clearly helped Leann grow up to publicly behave slightly less gross than older Brandi. Or, she hired better lawyers. Either way. She’s not compelling. I thought this show would be more like the normal family scenes with Eileen and Lisa R, or even Kyle when Kim is not involved. Even if theyre scripted, they’re so much more palatable than the other crap.
I have never been a Lisa v fan. The way she speaks to her house staff, especially Rocio, makes me nauseated. The poor home/ business boundaries and over the top nonsense also sketch me out big time.
Omg I am so not interested in “Nice” Camille or Basketcase Adrienne returning. :((((
I’m agree with everything you said. I have never gotten over season One Camille, I thought I stood alone!
You mentioned the way she speaks to her staff. I had a similar thought but about Ken. During the night of her birthday party they’re in the car and Ken somewhat dismissively refers to the driver as “driver” when giving him the destination. Lisa V somewhat quietly corrects Ken and reminds him of the drivers name, at which point Ken corrects himself. So it’s not like Lisa V isn’t aware of the perception issue. I never really thought Lisa V was bad with her staff, but pay closer attention in the future. She’s way too involved in the personal lives of the Sur staff on Vanderpump Rules but then again it’s a reality TV show so I guess that’s part of her job there.
I hope Brandi is paying this crazy bitch and she’s not doing it for free. Otherwise, um, DUH!
I’m just glad you called out that Fishwrapper idiot.
Who is Fishwrapper?
Me, too. And I don’t think Brandi pays for services like writing and hair extentions, I think she barters. Way to make a disturbing aand heartbreaking tragedy all about you you twit.
Snorefest, Brandi actually does a better job writing than this hack.
Things must be getting so bad for Brandi that she is now including Leanne Rimes in her prayers? She really is short on friends. Brandi is trash…it’s that simple. A drunk, delusional, hateful, trashy mess. I’m telling you now if God forbid my mother was in the hospital “dying” as Brandi said.. I wouldn’t be at any party. If I promised my friend I would be at her party then that friend would have to understand why I couldn’t be there, She doesn’t want anyone to believe she has a drinking problem because the show is only a snippet of her life yet it seems that she was drunk on most of the episodes and apparently according to her on Xanax as well. Xanax and wine..what a combo. She or her ghost writer talks about other housewives children yet if you say anything about her kids she loses her shit. It is very sad to me to see the destruction of Kyle and Kim…which it wasn’t that great to begin with but if Brandi talks shit on the show and blogs imagine what she is telling Kim in person. And Kim says Brandi is always joking…Can’t you take a joke? Yeah that joke about Kim being on Meth was really funny. I guess Kim forgot that moment and how her bad sister Kyle took up for her. I seriously hope we get Lisa R and Eileen back next season and NO Brandi. She needs help. This is just my opinion. The saddest part in all of this is those two handsome young boys. The shit they have to endure…
I think Kyle and Kim have been in a cycle of bad relationship/good relationship for a long time. Brandi has no place in it, but I’m pretty sure it would happen one way or another: basically every time Kim relapses, the relationship goes to shit. When Kyle doesn’t respect Kim’s boundaries, relationship goes to shit. Etc.
What is so dumb is Kim being like, “Brandi’s my best friend! She’s my very best friend!” And vice versa, though Brandi leaves a little more room just in case Yolanda will be her “best friend”. Kim and Brandi sound like middle schoolers. Go buy a little best friends necklace! Then after the friendship inevitability turns sour, Brandi can re-gift her half to someone she slaps, throws wine on,screams at, screws over, whatever it happens to be that day.
Kim calls her dog her very best friend as well. You know the dog that attacks people. Which when you think of it is kind of what Brandi does as well. Maybe she gets the two confused.
And what grown women have to designate who their “best” friend is constantly, anyway?
Imagine the memoirs her boys will be writing!
I caught a re-run of the final episode late last night where Brandi tells Kim “I want my friends to worry about me” → WHO says that?! A person may say I want my friends to care about me, but to worry?? ⊙.☉
The last thing in the world I’d want is for my family & friends to worry about me!
Who wishes “worry” on their family & friends??
They are trying to trivialize that Brandi said she was worried about Kim to Lisa R and her friend Jennifer, so that if the clip is played they’ll pretend “worrying” actually is normal “caring”
AKA: I want attention!!!
The other housewives write a blog to state their opinion in regards to the events that take place during the most recent episode. Brandi or her ghost writer writes a blog recapping the episode in an attempt to rewrite history. We watched it [email protected]&…..we know what happened and your new version is not it! I don’t need a play by play Katherine.
Lol!!!
@oghousewife She definitely rewrites the script in her blog so we can truly see what she was thinking in her twisted little mind.
Ha! You can tell Brandi didn’t write this, because she never would have hyphenated “bullshitter”. Brandi doesn’t have that kind of filter.
Didn’t she say once that if you are really drunk, and don’t remember, then it didn’t happen? Convenient excuse.
Wait… That’s not true?!?
I know Vail from Vanderpump Rules said it.
I’m not defending Brandi, by any means, but I’m not chronically ill & I can’t work that FaceTime thing too well myself. I thought that scene with Yo was cute.
Don’t shoot me!
I thought it was cute too. Yolanda was a lot easier to take this season. Trying not to be evil and blaming it on the Lyme’s thingie.
My comment is as inane as Brandi’s blog…
When Kyle mentioned to Kim about carrying that line in her store… I took it as she would have given it to Kim at cost. Brandi spun it as Kyle was pissed about not getting the sale??!! Brandi has the mind of a child.
I took it to mean she should come by her shop sometime when the camera’s aren’t there.

Exactly.
But that would mean Kim would have to be loving and supportive of her baby sister.
I took it as Kyle telling Kim she was welcome to shop at her place. Yet another caring sister type gesture Kim Doesn’t care about.
That’s how I took it. Why pay full price when you can buy it from me at cost?
Why wouldn’t Kim shop in Kyle’s store for the same thing another store carries? If Kim loved and cared for her sister as I see it is obvious Kyle does for Kim she would have shopped in Kyle’s store. Kyle doesn’t need really need the money but it is a show of support. Kim was just being petty. Shame on her.
Exactly! And I’m sure Kim could benefit from saving a buck or two thousand (as she stated every couple months she replenishes her wardrobe). Her hatred & jealousy runs so deep she rather throw money away than show any support for her sister.
I think people are reading into it too much. With the help of editing.
I think it was just an awkward greeting from Kyle, conversation filler, not angry. I also doubt Kim went out of her way to get the shirt at store other than Kyle’s. Probably just a little exchange that production played up.
And “Kyle flipped her hair angrily”! Or something…
Kim can shop wherever she pleases. I doubt it was intended to hurt Kyle, but Kyle mentioning it at all on camera was stupid. There is so much dysfunction in that relationship. I refuse to put it all on the alcohol/addict. Control freaks are just as bad to live with.
Of course Kim can shop wherever she pleases but when your sister owns a clothing store that carries the designer/items your planning on purchasing anyway, why not take advantage of getting them at cost. Just more proof — a fool & her money . . .
And just one thing and then I will shut up:
Kim – Virgo (over sensitive, hates to be criticized)
Kyle – Capricorn (thinks that if you want something done right, you do it yourselves; total utter control freak)
And kyle has every right to ask that question, since she paid Kim’s bills for yeeearsss…
It isn’t just that. It’s a sister thing and Brandi can STFU she knows noting about sisters!!!
I was fuming when my sister got a service somewhere else when I PROVIDE that exact service at MY business. Why not come to me?! She wouldn’t pay, we could get to see eachother/spend time and theres NOBODY who would take care
…take better care of my own sister thesh I would. I just DID NOT GET IT. I completely understand where Kyle is coming from! It’s like they went out their way to NOT come see me/visit my fabulous store (which I am VERY proud of, as Kyle must be as well)
Funny thing is my sister is older than I am too. Unless you have a SISTER & a business she isn’t coming to, you won’t ever understand. It’s hurtful & makes no sense.
I’ve now resigned to the fact that my sister is a psycho bitch just like Kim Richards or I’ll drive myself crazy upset thinking about it.
I think Brandi unwittingly did Kyle a huge favor by finally getting Kim out of her life. Kyle is glowing and looks fantastic, happy, and healthy — something I’ve never said about her before. I think she is finally coming into her own and respecting herself and her family (her husband and children).
Dumping her 50 year old sister was the best thing she could have done. Time for Kim to get a job, get a life, and get a conscience.
I couldn’t agree more!
I agree.
Yes!!!
OK I know this has probably been said over and over again but I can’t help venting because watching this show has become exponentially more and more painful for me each week–yes, I know I have a choice–because of Kim and Brandi.
Kim is NOT sober, and even if she hasn’t had a drink or popped a pill in days or weeks or months, it is clear to me that sobriety is not a goal or a priority of hers; rather, maintaining the image of sobriety. Top ten reasons why, for me:
10. When Kyle confronts Kim about her behavior while CLEARLY on the influence on poker night, Kim screams: “Did you ever think how I FELT?! How scary that was for ME?!”
HA.
No Kim, it wasn’t scary for you. You’re used to being high or drunk. It’s scary for the people around you, who have to stand by terrified, watching you destroy your life. It is such a CLASSIC addict move, to make everything about themselves and how they feel, and putting the responsibility and blame for their actions on everyone but themselves. Lisa Rinna and Eileen raising questions about Kim’s sobriety was not because they are bored evil bitches, but because she subjected them to her erratic, insulting, and confusing behavior WHILE IN THEIR DAMN HOMES. Another example: Kim’s out of control dog has a history of attacking people and violently bites and harms her niece. But it is her young niece’s fault that this happened, not Kim’s.
9. Kim’s “best friend” is an alcoholic. Yes, we’ve probably all discussed this a million times. But still–how much more obvious can your lack of concern about sobriety be when you deliberately hang out with someone who abuses alcohol and cannot seem to attend one event without getting completely drunk and making an ass out of herself. Hell, a committed recovering alcoholic who understands her vulnerability wouldn’t even put herself in situations where people were casually having a glass of wine or two, let alone a hard partier with a noted alcohol problem.
8. Kim surrounds herself with enablers. (see above)
7. Kim gets violently angry and defensive to a pathological level when someone questions her sobriety, not realizing/accepting that for years she has been on and off the wagon, in and out of rehab, and has consistently lied and covered up her substance abuse. The people around her have every right to question or doubt her from time to time (ESPECIALLY after her crazy poker night behavior) after the lies she has subjected them to. A committed recovering alcoholic would acknowledge that the years of pain and betrayal and deceit they brought to loved ones justifies questions every now and then, even if they are completely unfounded. You earn forgiveness over years and years of consistent behavior, not because you’re announcing to everyone that you’re sober.
6. Kim continues to thrive on drama. A recovering alcoholic realizes that stress and chaos contribute to relapse. They avoid dramatic situations or intentionally creating fights in public settings in order to feel good about themselves and distract from the real problem.
5. Kim shows absolutely no appreciation for those who have been patient and stood by her while she wreaked havoc on their lives. I’m not a fan of Kyle in any way, shape or form. But she has supported and stood by her alcoholic sister for years. That deserves some thanks and appreciation right?
4. Kim says Lisa Rinna “ruined” her life. OK, allow me to finish laughing. I don’t even think I need to say anything about this. But I will say, again, Kim again blaming others for the mess she has created for decades.
3. Kim only likes you if you enable her, and will flip on you and violently HATE you when you call her out. Does everyone remember when Brandi screamed at her for doing meth in the bathroom and all of a sudden, Kim was leaping up and screaming insults at her? But when Brandi pretends Kim is sober suddenly they are best friends. Kim’s whole problem with Kyle this season has been that she hasn’t blindly defended Kim when she was clearly high/drunk and out of line. Anyone who truly loves an addict calls them out and refuses to support their addict behavior. That’s what love looks like–actually wanting the best for someone.
2. Kim TOOK A F**ING UNPRESCRIBED “PAIN PILL”/MAJOR OPIATE for a fictitious physical ailment. How the f*** is this NOT considered a relapse in her warped world?
1. Kim is a bitch.
I’m sorry everyone (especially Tamara) for the long rant. I had to get it out. The rage and wrath had been building for weeks. I CAN’T handle this bitch and her reverse eyebrows anymore…
Agree & nearly everything you wrote re Kim also applies to Brandi including
“CLASSIC addict move, to make everything about themselves and how they feel, and putting the responsibility and blame for their actions on everyone but themselves”.
What? Lisa Rinna ruined my life, too. That’s all she does. Ruin random people’s lives.
I mean, grow the fuck up, Kim.
Hi BH!!
That comment Kim made about Lisa R ruining her life really pissed me off!!! She is so concerned what her children think, yet Lisa Rinna has 2 minor children who are going to hear what Kim said about their father.
She ruined my life too. By missing when she hurled that wine glass and it only hit the table.
LOL, Damn Lisa Rinna for not aiming better!
Holy fuck! “REVERSE EYEBROWS”??? I love it!!!
Alyssa, now I don’t need to vent because you nailed it.
I was upset that Brandi messed up an already fragile relationship but posters are right in that Kyle may be better off until Kim grows up. Let Kathy and Brandi deal with Kim.
Your post is spot on in every point. I’m in recovery and my friends, whether they are recovering or not do not drink or abuse medications like Brandy. I would feel so uncomfortable in that type of situation. I cannot imagine being around that for more than 5 minutes before escaping. Lol. Also her defensive overreaction to anyone questioning/discussing her sobriety. She should get used to that because thats not going to stop anytime soon for her. I also agree with the post that Kyle is better off without her and Kim is right where she needs to be. If she thinks Brandi is such a wonderful friend, she can certainly have her. they make a great pair!
I’m not in recovery, but have a lot of injuries to my spine, face, and head – including a traumatic brain tumor. I take a lot of medications. I’ve had to drop lifelong friends because they would ask or steal medication from me, my handbag, or my home (caught my best friend rummaging through my belongings when I was in the shower, looking for the key to my travel safe while we were on vacay). It made me sick. I need every single fucking pill I am prescribed. People that abuse drugs shouldn’t be around sick people for the sick person’s sake, too.
Thank you!
*CLAPPING, CLAPPING, CLAPPING* thank you Alesa949, couldn’t agree more!
@alessa agree 100% with your entire post and include Brandi in each bullet point as an alcoholic/addict as well. This season has become challenging for me as well. I will attempt to keep my venting brief for y’all at this hour and after cocktails. 🙂 I have many siblings, we are spread out all over the country, expect for one and myself living in close proximity. My sibling is Kim with some Brandi thrown in re violence and utter trashiness. We have all dealt w/ it for too many years to count. Pick an impt family function holiday, event, etc and it was always ruined. By out of control alcoholic/addict behavior. The rehab circuit has been done, similar to a college tour. I generally get to deal with it(verbal abuse, tantrums, throwing crap, (including me) public meltdowns, etc) based upon where I live. It’s certainly not pleasant. I do so to support my parents and other siblings and the children involved. But I take care of myself first. It’s really hard to try and help someone that refuses to help themselves. Like Kim, my sibling is an “I’m SOBER” screamer. Bullshit bitches. If you aren’t actively high or drunk this second you are a dry drunk. Not sober and not actively working a program and there is a big difference. Really challenging circumstances when dealing with a family member with their own financial resources . Total trainwreck. Anyway, sorry y’all for my rant but based upon my own personal life I’m totally pissed at Bravo for airing this shit re Kim’s using, Brandi’s using and enabling. But sad to say I will of course watch the reunion and then blow up their Twitter.
Katherine, I’m so sorry to hear about your family member. I have worked in a substance abuse recovery clinic and there are truly no words for how frustrating it is to watch someone destroy themselves. The damage that is done to family/innocent bystanders like yourself is even more heartbreaking. Maybe I’m way too triggered by her after being in the field, but all season I found myself noticing that every word out of Kim’s (let’s throw Brandi in there too, who am I kidding) mouth and every action of hers fit the addict pattern to a T. I’m shocked that Kyle, who has admitted to going to Al-Anon meetings to deal with her sister’s problems, didn’t notice all the signs.
And the thing that irritates me the most (I know I’ve said this before but I REALLY can’t help saying it again) is the assumption that after 20-30 years of being a toxic, dysfunctional addict, a dry drunk like Kim will think that if they suddenly announce one day they’ve stopped using (usually because there were no options left), everyone must fall over themselves to believe them and every word they say. Bullshit. As the commenter in recovery said earlier, when you’re in recovery, get used to people asking questions and raising doubts. It shows they care. But if you’re still in the mindset of an addict, yes every question is an attack because you’re still operating in the addict mindset of a 13 year old.
I mean, the bitch literally said, LALALALALAAAA when Lisa Rinna asked if she had enough support/a sponsor. LALALA. Yes. A fifty-something year old woman sang “lalala” when someone expressed genuine concern for her obvious problems. Totally normal. Clearly the Trash Can gods of yesteryear have not been too effective, you would think that maybe going to meetings and getting a sponsor might sound more helpful…
This isn’t Kim (& her families) 1st rodeo. She’s been vocal that this is not her 1st attempt at recovery. It appears her M.O. is – after she gets “outed” she just goes further underground with her addiction. To keep the dogs (family) from sniffing around she’s developed that “How dare you ask me that” defense but she’s not fooling anyone. Her new BFF Brandi may believe her, but I truly believe she’s got ulterior motives (they’re bonding over their dislike / jealousy of Kyle).
Kim’s family & longtime friends have seen this all before.
AH HA!
Kim’s eyebrows!
I tried to warn everyone at the beginning of the season. Once you notice them….you cannot look away.
Alessa I totally agree with you on every single point. I have been in recovery for 13 years and you nailed it! Awesome comment!
I am so here for your rant, with a warm beverage, cushion and comfortable chair. Well said alessa949 Brilliant and insightful.
When this season started, after the insane trip to eileens, I thought there is no way they would try to spin this, but they did! Shes telling everyone not to believe the evidence of their eyes, and I take exception to that. Its just bad storytelling, anyone with half a brain can see how bad they are. The nerve of some of these people. Phaedra, anyone?
Good call re: Phaedra! And there’s even more Phaedra going on with Brandi keeping track of who called about her dad, how many times, how long did they talk, etc. Brandi is lucky Lisa V even acknowledged her. That was a very strange meltdown when Brandi started talking to Lisa at the bar.
The dude/friend/date guy’s official title is Keeper of the Tampon String.
@TD (I couldn’t resist) Lisa V. might say (in her lovely British accent) “that’s a bloody stinking job!”
Touche.
@TT, at your question as to wether Brandi was evil and calculated or legitimately mentally ill, isn’t it possible for her to be both? Cause I think she is just an evil sociopath. (and that is just imho of course, and the wiki definition of sociopath) Lol
Brandi is always going to paint herself as the victim of whomever she’s been victimizing. It’s her modus operandi (or should I say modus operbrandi). She’s so low that her knuckles drag the ground and that’s not easy for a six foot sasquatch like her. Wish she’d marry a rapper so she could be on Hip Hop wives and get the hell off this show. She’s an emotional vampire who sucks the joy out of every scene she’s in.
@marky, love that “modus operBrandi”! That’s a good one.
Bwahahahaha I liked that, too. Easily amused…
IMO, this was the worst season of RHOBH yet — next year Kim and/or Brandi (preferably both) need to be gone. I cannot take another season of Kyle and Brandi fighting over custody of Kim.Just like Brandi’s revisionist history blog, it’s been too stupid for words.
I can’t believe I’m going to sit through 3 hours of a reunion for this mess (but I will).
For real. I know I don’t have to watch, but I so will, still.
*sigh*
Here is why BG’s tampon is always showing, no mas pantellones (liar liar
I’m convinced that the clip from the reunion, of Kim saying that she’s fine and happy without contact with Kyle was VERY intentional, a dig to hurt Kyle. She knows Kyle won’t truly throw her under the bus because it goes against the Richards training.
If I were at the reunion, I would bring Kenya’s bullhorn. And every time someone tried to make sense of or justify something Kim did or expect her to be nice or rational, I’d use it to bellow, “step away from the scene of the crime, keep a 10 ft buffer, move away from the body”. Because really, she’s just one moving accident that hasn’t seen the error of her behavior yet.
I don’t know which I hate more Brandi or being tall. That main picture reminds me that no matter how thin I am I will always look like a giant.
Hate Brandi more.
I certainly do prefer being short (5’3″), I wouldn’t grow an inch if given enough the opportunity, BUT I have to ask bf or taller friends to reach things for me at least once a week, usually more often. And if I gain a tiny but of weight, it is far more obvious than on a taller person.
Just some words of encouragement from way down here in shorty-land.
😉
LOL. When I was a kid I used to pray I’d be short (tiny) or really tall & then I stopped growing at 5’6″ (right in-between). Now in the last several years I’m going in reverse & I’ve actually shrunken 2 1/2″. At this rate I’ll be a very tiny old lady.๏̯͡๏
Amen sister. I’m 5 11. Was a huge relief to have sons and not daughters. I take it very personally when Brandi gets all gangster up in the tiny Womens faces like Kyle, hulking over them and being aggressive. I’ve made a point in life to be meek, specifically to detract from the masculinity of my hulking height. Yolanda is also tall, but infinitely more feminine.
It would take two Kim’s to make an idiot. Guess she thinks she’s invisible to her children on TV and they don’t hear the trash talk about their mother from everyone that knows them. Kim needs to slink off into hiding and take that dumbass sister Kathy with her. That gene pool is scary.
“It would take 2 Kim’s to = an idiot” & “she thinks she’s invisible on TV”.

One would think that since Brandi and Kim are BFFs that Brandi would lend her ghost writer to Kim! I guess Kim can’t afford one of her own.
Kristine would be perfect for Kim!

I’d like to think that all Bravo Blogs are written by Sonja’s unpaid interns. It would explain (and excuse) so much.
Ha ha ha!
I know one of them..Millsaps. Shocking when I saw her on the show.
Brandi mentioned getting ready for the party, waiting for her date and her friends. Imagine being Brandi’s date or friend, planning on going with her to an event/party, I wouldn’t waste a fresh blow-out. F**k that, too great a chance of getting kicked out or leaving before MY second drink and 100% chance of having to carry out a drunk, screaming, crying Brandi….
Wouldn’t waste a fresh blowout or fresh blow.
Lol, that’s exactly what JR, her date, ended up doing!
That dude carried her out of gay bars in NYC when they went too. Literally carried her out.

@TT that is humiliating. Seriously. She is not 18 and a freshman in college (not saying my behavior then was appropriate or anything! 🙂
TT, I tried to read this blog without the purple ink. I really did, but after two sentences, I started visualizing ghost writer holding and talking to a Brandi Barbie as she typed and I just couldn’t go on!!! Thank you for getting me through the madness.
IF things were right in this world, in ten years time one of those Whatever Happened To…? programs would find Brandi on some backwoods river working at Bubba Jr.’s Bait Shop & Trailer Park deheading shrimp.
Teenage defiance does not sit well on a 42 year old woman. I wonder if Brandi will bother to come up with an excuse for her drunk ass mess.
I want Brandi and her publicist to hold hand and jump off a cliff together.
I mean ghostwriter.
🙂
“Lisa Rinna’s girls will be literate enough to write their own tell all book, Brandi’s boys come from a shallow gene pool and are “homeless” moving from school to school so their book about their drunk mama will have to be written by Kristine. She really should be plugging it here now, while she has the chance.”
LMAO! So good.
I believe Brandi is evil and calculated because we all know she doesnt truly give a shit about Kim. She wants the Bravo paycheck and needs someone to film with. She alienated everyone else. That Bravo outtake where Brandi is telling Kim how she should cut Kyle out of her life…her LIFE. EVIL.
Brandi’s ghostwriter doesn’t know basic rules of grammar. “There was no argument between Kim and I.” It’s “between Kim and ME”.
Convo btwn Brandi & Lisa
LR: Does Kyle realize that her sister is in this kind of trouble
BG: Does anyone not?
LR: so basically when you’re with her, you have to live a lie and not really deal with it?
BG: [Brandi nods] We are all thinking we are protecting her by not saying it.
LR: You’re not. You’re hurting her. Something is going to happen. Well, something has already happened.
BG: More than you even know.
Has Brandi’s comment about Kim and the patch ever been brought up again? It’s the elephant in the room …
As someone wrote earlier (another thread?) – more than likely Brandi will say “I was talking about a Nicotine patch”!
Yeah, I forgot that she was smoking a cigar on poker night. She could definitely use that as an excuse but I doubt Brandi was referring to a nicotine patch.
In that first picture of Brandi where she’s looming over Kyle, her hand gesture is the same one she called David Foster out for using. You know, the “finger fucking” gesture. So she does it too. She just had to have something smart and gross to say at Yolanda and David’s party to bust up the mood and draw negative attention to herself. Of course, it was a sexual reference because Brandi is always on the prowl to get laid.
I hope Kyle stays firm in keeping away from Kim. Every one of us is given a gift of life and it’s up to us as to what we do with it, and we see people like Kim throwing hers away versus what Kyle has done with hers.
Kim has chosen to live a life of pleasure, doing and saying whatever the hell she wants, like Eileen said. And she’s never had to “hit a lick at a snake” (Southern saying for she’s never had to task herself much) and lived a life of luxury. She married not one but TWO millionaires and spent money like it was nothing, and I wonder if she thinks back on how wasteful she was – probably not. She has done nothing but seek pleasure via drugs and alcohol, she’s partied and traveled and goofed off, and neglected her children’s proper nurturing and development all her life.
Kyle, on the other hand, has used her gift of life to make a better way for herself. She seems like a good mother from what we see and from what I sense from what I see; at the very least she certainly doesn’t abuse substances and embarrass them. She appears to be someone who can at least use reason and common sense, and with whom one could have a decent conversation. Even though she’s not in an occupation where she has to actually “work hard”, she still is trying to do something to keep herself busy with her store. She’s not just lying around drinking, doping, and hanging out with trash.
I’m sick of hearing about Kim Richards and her short-lived career in “acting”. Really, is acting really that much of a sacrifice? Is it that hard? I know you have to learn lines, get up early sometimes, and sit around and wait all day for your scene. But “work”? I think there is a phrase used to describe a certain type of play that kids do, when they’re little and just learning to “pretend” or make believe. It’s called “play-acting”, so I just cannot take actors and actresses very seriously. Not compared to real people who do real jobs, like laborers, healthcare professionals, inner-city educators, etc. They work hard and earn a pittance compared to what the “play-actors” do. So Kim Richards’ “sacrifices” in “working as an actress” kind of make me want to hurl, and like I said, I’m sick of hearing about it. And whatever that “job” brought to the table for her family a long time ago is just that, a long time ago. Forget about that house deal and move on.
You bring up a good point it’s acting it’s not like it’s generally a physically, or mentally onerous job. That’s why when actors like Tom Cruise think they work harder than Olympic athletes, or his job is as hard as fighting in Afghanistan, or Gwyneth Paltrow foolishly stating that acting is harder than an office job. It’s that level of entitled foolishness that makes me think a lot of actors are asshats. There’s a reason those two show up on most hated celebrities lists. Kim will probably forever be on a lot of people’s hated celebrities list after this season.
First he was in the hospital for over a month, then it was an entire 2 months. Get your story straight Kristine!!
Kim was in the hospital for um 5 days.. 7 day…9 days….
It’s so hard keeping all this straight. 🙂

Brandi thought sleeping with Max’s best friend….LVP’s son’s best friend was a way to get back into her good graces. So will Max say “hey, mom. My friend fucked your friend”.
Just a matter of time before Brandi will be fucking her son’s friends. Luckily LeAnn can afford their future therapy bills.
The exploitation of Kim is pathetic, even more so that she doesn’t seem to realize bravo allowed it to generate ratings. I feel for her kids. I wonder if the truth will come out at the reunion and kim will finally see Brandifor who she is? Also if we will hear more about the dog attack? I’m not on twitter but is Brandi really stupid enough to post what she really does and then lie about it? I think I’m done after the reunion.
Days ago either on the WWHL (after show) or her Podcast – Brandi said she hasn’t seen Kim since the reunion, then she added they just recently texted 1x. Looks like trouble in BFF paradise.
Brandi and Kim sought each other out for the purpose of burning Kyle. They each have their own reasons. A friendship built on such a premise cannot last.
