A couple of weeks ago, I started a recap off saying that I wish Eden was a full time housewife. Someone on Twitter said they stopped reading after that statement. I sent her back to read the whole post because by the end, I was OVER Eden.
In Eden’s Bravo blog this week, she blames Rinna for everything. She takes no responsibility for her role in things. It’s like she has forgotten that she was paired with Rinna for filming by production.
Boy did Kyle’s party live up to the reputation of the era… There was an excess of everything, especially drama!
And the large majority of it was coming FROM YOU.
I can’t even comment on the Kim and Kyle situation anymore.
I’d love to believe this. But I actually believe the opposite to be true. You can’t seen to stop commenting on “the Kim and Kyle” situation. And projecting your relationship with your sister into it. And trying to redo your relationship with your sister by telling them both what they SHOULD do and making judgments on a relationship you know nothing about.
They should ask their friends how this started! I’m just done. But believe me, I hear Vanderpump! I have mad respect for her and point taken! And Vanderpump is a smart woman. She’ll get to the bottom of this!
She is smart. And she is playing this game with her own agenda. Her interest in you rests solely on how you can propel her in her game. But hey, you’re new. You’ll figure it out.
I’m glad the two Muppets (good one, PK) were off having a grand ole time doing the Charleston while I’m fighting the front line ALONE. Keep running, Rinna. #YouCanRunButYouCantHide
You honestly think that PK referring to two beautiful women as two old man Muppets is a “good one?” What happened to you being all up Rinna’s but giving her crystals and talking about her energy and your energy ? You sure didn’t waste any time throwing her under the bus. Why are you “fighting on the front line” of a battle that doesn’t concern you? Why are you bringing up the things that both Kyle and Kim have told you to shut the fuck up about several times? Why are you angry with Rinna and Eileen for partying, and dancing, and laughing at a party instead of “FIGHTING on the front lines?”
Thank you, Camille, for seeing the truth in me and seeing I care! And Erika, thank you for the compliment. #PilatesLegs
Didn’t you just say pretty much the same horseshit about seeing the truth in each other to Rinna? You seem to say that a lot to people who you JUST MET and who Don’t Know You! It’s awkward. Like your long, protracted hugs that people can’t break free of.

Scenes from next week: THANK YOU Vanderpump for telling Kyle the truth! “Rinna said she doesn’t believe that your sister is truly sober, and that she is near death!” It’s time these woman wake the f— up!
LVP may tell Kyle Rinna’s truth next week. But when are we going to hear yours? When do you admit your accountability in the situation. How is it Rinna’s fault that you continue to confront Kyle and Kim over and over in every scene? How is it Rinna’s fault you have no boundaries with people you just met?
Note to Self: Stop giving to those who can’t receive. And Rinna, if you don’t want that love bottle, #ReturnToSender.
And there it is. Your high horse. You are coming from a good place and only trying to give. Then there all the ungrateful people who don’t want to accept your gracious advice. The love bottle was a perfect metaphor for you relationship with Rinna. It looks like love on the outside, but there is nothing of substance inside.
Those hugs are weird. I don’t like hugs from people I don’t know. The empty love bottle is weird, really weird. Eden is weird. To me saying your sober and taking pills is not being sober. She needs help coping with the death of her sister and I hope she gets it. She seems like a nice person but she has problems. She can’t fix the world but maybe she can fix herself with help. I can’t imagine the pain and guilt she feels from her sister’s death. I wish her well, no crystals involved.
I agree with you, but there are some in AA who take a strict interpretation of “sobriety” and insist it only refers to not drinking, they see no issue with taking medication for the purposes intended and as prescribed. Problem with that is, most alcoholics have problems with substances, period, so that’s a dangerous line to toe.
She needs to deal with her unresolved issues with her sister’s death and stop subjecting innocent people to its aftermath.
As a women who has been sober for 12 years and a board certified addiction specialist this WHOLE story line is so disturbing to me. I stopped watching a long time ago but I follow along here. My philosophy is you can take medication as prescribed. If I ever have to take something, I have protections in place to manage and it is always short term even though I live in chronic pain.
In my humble opinion, what is most important to me is sober behavior. I know that this is a TV show and is highly “scripted” and their job is to cause drama but no amount of fame or money would make me act that way or I might as well be drunk again.
There are certain things that should be off limits in these shows and this is one of them. I am ashamed that there are truly people out there that think THIS is sobriety. Addiction is not something to be thrown around lightly. This is not representative of solid sobriety.
Sorry for the rant, this is just something sacred to me.
I cannot imagine having to live through chronic pain with those restrictions, I completely understand your point, storebystore 🙂 I am in recovery and I had to learn to manage all manner of my anxiety and panic attacks, etc. without benefit of those medications because they were a problem for me. If I absolutely had to take narcotic meds for some reason, serious surgery or whatnot, you better believe I’d be monitored and off them asap, but I’d like to avoid it at all costs.
100% agree about the behavior. In therapy and in the rooms, you hear over and over again, that someone’s behavior tells you all you need to know about their sobriety. Eden and Kim’s is disturbing 🙁
Eden needs grief therapy; STAT! Her projection is annoying and dysfunctional. Her unresolved issues with her sister’s death ( which I wholeheartedly empathize with) make her feel like the subject matter expert on Kim and Kyle. It’s weird….
O’Happy Day!
That purple pen reads like a glass of my favorite red wine.
I liked Eden at first and thought she’d be relaxed, centered, aware, fun because – into crystals. I no longer like her, she’s like a dog with a bone when it comes to what is Kyle and Kim’s business.
Also, she must of been frontin’ when it comes to being a ‘crystal child.’
“Like your long, protracted hugs that people can’t break free of.” lol
Thank you! <3
ugh, I do not like Rinna. Is eden smarter than her? This is exactly what happened last year with rinna trying to throw LVP under the bus. rinna tells kyle something, kyle tells lvp and then lvp manipulates stupid rinna into saying it on camera. She’s not that stupid. This is karma and it’s amazing to see how she is going to weasel her way out of this when it clearly shows what she said ON CAMERA to eden. I think eden is a little #extra but so was rinna last year. Not a big lvp fan but hate double standards.
Oh come on, Rinna planted a pretty big seed to Eden. And they say Vanderpump is manipulating. I look at it this way: terrible of Rinna to use Kim’s sickness and Eden’s unresolved grief to cause trouble, hence to make a buck. She is ugly inside and especially on the outside. No fan of Eden but she might of taken it to heart Kim is near death. Vicious of Rinna to say that. Ask Starr Jones how vile Rinna is.
BWAHAHHAHAHHAHH I’ll pass on Starr Jones as the judge of anything. Thanks.
Rinna got nastier with her texts than she did with Kim over The Apprentice. Rinna didn’t like Starr outsmarting her or maybe threw under the bus. I saw that show and thought no big deal. I think it was the season Nene walked out too due to Starr. Starr sued NBC over Rinna’s continued harassment. Starr is annoying but doesn’t deserve that, especially with that show where the whole premise is to out smart and out last.
Creepy hugs….no thanks.
Absolutely agree. I hate I when people come up to you like, “Oh, I’m a hugger!”
Well, I’m not bitch. Back up out of my personal space. Damn.
I’m imagining Eden hugging Caroline Stanbury right now. ..
oh mark I could totally hug you right now…hehe
*makes hissing noise*
😉
If you have not already, listen to Edens interview on Kate Casey’s podcast. She thinks she’s the deepest most insightful person who has ever lived. Her intensity is over the top. She annoys the shit out of me.
I posted on the other BH thread that Eden has no business taking someone’s inventory and definitely lecturing on sobriety while gobbling Xanax. I really don’t GAF what her issues are. She needs to step off the Richards sisters stat before LVP hands her her ass! Great post TT. Read that twat for filth!
Gives an insight into how Rinna (and Eileen) are playing the game. Makes me wonder if LVP was innocent of most of the manipulating she was accused of last season. Eden was clearly read by Rinna who played into her ‘sensitivities’ and set up the Kim thing. But production is not covering Rinna’s ass for her this time. The whole Kyle to LVP to Rinna chain about Munchausen was always too convoluted to believe and many didn’t buy Rinna’s story.
Rinna is a nasty piece of work.
Rinna is nasty, Eden is crazy, and they are both making KIM look good….. how is that possible????
Great post! I agree 100% with this assessment and can’t wait to see the fall out. My opinion of Rinna is that I like her BUT last season she lost me when she tried to pin everything on Kyle and then LVP. The funny thing is that Rinna was right about Yolanda and she would’ve been the star of last season as she stuck to her guns, IMHO.
Now this season she’s talking about Kim. Eden was quick to agree with Rinna’s and Eden continues to run with it when it is clear Rinna has backed off. Now it appears Eden’s plan is to appeal to LVP for help, HA! Eden is in for the fight of her life because Rinna will fight to the death and LVP will not save Eden because the only thing LVP is looking to save this season want’s to save is her “crown”.
Good luck Eden, you will need it.
I agree in wishing Rinna had stuck to her guns about Yolanda. But everyone else was against her, and she’s a people pleaser in the end.
Rinna was right about Yolanda, and she did stick to her guns, she just wanted LVP to admit that she was participating in the discussions and LVP KNEW the real story with Yolanda and what she was up to but she refused to admit it at the reunion. Thus Rinna screaming OWN YOUR SHIT! about a billion times.
I hope Rinna is not right about Kim, However, she was carted off the Mother/Daughter show to the hospital around this time and I’m sure they all knew about that.
You hit the nail on the head with this one, TT. The balls on this woman. She’s literally acting like she had no choice but to badger the hell out of Kim and Kyle, despite being directly told to stop, just because Rinna ran her mouth ONCE to her. She is delusional, and so much for the personal responsibility of working a program lol Lisa made her do everything. Hm.
I thought Eden was a lot better off than Kim, now, judging by her behavior, I’m not so sure.
If Kim is going to continue to be on the show, then I’m glad Eden is there to stir the pot and do the confronting. I don’t care if it came from Rinna, to me she’s just making conversation and trying to get Eden up to speed on the situation. They were discussing what happened at the party. After Kim attacked Harry Hamlin and then denied it and suggested that Rinna owed HER an apology, anything Rinna or Eden say to her is well deserved, in my opinion.
Get rid of Kim (permanently) and this all goes away. Eden would go too because she’d have no purpose on the show.
While I agree that Eden is a little over the top, I think she now understands that she needs to back off Kyle and Kin as they made it clear to her that they do not welcome nor need her help. Having lost her sister, I think I understand her wanting desperately to help Kim and Kyle, despite resistance which she probably sees as denial, after Rinna, someone who knows them, told her that Kim is close to death. Who wouldn’t try to save someone like that if they thought their experience could help get through to them. That being said, again, I think she now sees that her inserting herself is not going to help, let alone save Kim’s life.
Wow Tamara! …
#ToreEdenANewOne
Her bottle of love is her thing a label with no substance ha, better yet she states proudly of wanting the empty bottle of her love back
Its very telling of how her mind justified her crap lol.
see my issue with these ladies is how kim’s behavior is acceptable or not acceptable according to how she treats THEM.
I give Lisa Rinna props for being consistent with her attitude/hate/accusations towards Kim. She’s never waivered from it. Eden wasn’t wrong when she called them out on game night. She asked Lisa about, Lisa gave her answer that hasn’t been different from her first season. Eden has decided to run with it.
And I get that no one wants to be called an enabler, and she might not be doing it now, because come on we never really do when they are sober, but Kyle is an enabler. I remember game night, Kyle should of stood right up and said to Kim, you know what this isn’t your fight Kim, unless you are prepared to have Lisa and Eileen come right back at you, stay out of it. She also would call kim on her shit excuses that she didn’t call out Harry Hamlin. All this ignoring and acting like kim is right in every move she makes, is not a help at all.
Brava. Exactly. Kyle can deny all she wants and be offended by being called an enabler, but if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck… I really think Kyle wants the best for Kim and I get it, but that doesn’t change the facts.
If someone brought a bottle of love to my party, and love wasn’t a euphemism for tequila, I’d ask them to leave.
Great recap TT. As usual. Thank you.
I’m struggling to see the point of Eden. She is not making friends or influencing people. Granted she may still be mourning the death of her sister and that’s tough, but Lady, calm down. You barely know Kyle and Kim is not your sister. Nobody is response when you put them on the defensive. She’s failing every time. I cannot stand Kim and I see her as an overgrown teenager, but I believe her when she says she’s doing well and getting ready for the birth of her grandchild (at the time of filming) Eden needs to stop projecting her insecurities and ‘enabling’ label on the Richard’s sisters. They are in a good place and everyone, friends, enemies and frenemies need to support that.
Eden, get over Kim and Kyle, they don’t want your support or need your attention.
Erica was great reading her lines. She had depth and she did justice to that melodramatic script. If she ever gets tired of Erika Jayne, she should try acting because she’s really good.
PK and Dorit. Meh. So aware of the camera all the time and desperate to say something, ANYTHING, witty or memorable. They get on my bloody nerves.
Lisa and Kyle, I like the way they’re relating to eachother, ,especially this episode. It’s heartwarming. They’re both annoying but they seem to be more accepting and relaxed with each other. I enjoy their quips and banter. I hope all of the friction, competition and bad vibes of the last few seasons is all firmly in the past. I’m not sure about Lisa’s protective, ‘I’ll kick your ass’ stance with Dorit, but if she meant it, good. Friends should support and defend friends…..at primary school. Not when you’re in your 30s, 40s or 50s! That was one of Lisa’s pet peeves wasn’t it? That Kyle ‘didn’t defend or stand up for her.’ Now, she’s standing up for Kyle. Awwww, bless.
Eileen. Meh!
Lisa Rinna. Sometimes I really like her and her quips. Her daughters make her look good! She needs to stop talking about Kim. Those two are oil and water and if she’s really concerned, she needs to refrain from making statements about Kim dying or Kim’s sobriety.
They should all be lucky that Kim doesn’t have a massive meltdown and create a huge angry scene because of all the comments and judgments about her ‘situation’. It’s rather insincere and disingenuous.
I can feel Lisa Rinna’s disdain for Kim through my TV screen….in London! Stop it Lisa.
That White Party looked fabulous. These rich people know how to have a great time in gorgeous settings. Jealous not jealous! Kyle throws a great party and I like that she’s kept Glenn as her planner for the last 7 years.
Was Adrienne Maloof there? How about Taylor?
Anyway, an enjoyable episode.
Enjoying BH this season.
It appears to me it was suggested to Eden early on that a good story-line for her would be help Kim, and Kim and Kyle, and to integrate herself into their relationship. The suggestion may have come from one of the other HW’s or even from production. Clearly, Eden decided this was a perfect fit for her. She has tried too hard and in all the wrong ways. Her arrogance in her own knowledge/experience with The Program is obnoxious. The harder she tries, the worse she looks, and the more the ladies distance themselves from her. Eden is far too self-involved to pick up on the other’s social cues.
