Tonight we have to go through some more bunny business. So let’s get straight to that. Annnnnnd of course we have to replay the whole stupid scene again. Andy and Kyle seem to think this is hilarious. Andy just wants to be sure he gets the bunny for the clubhouse. If Kim was so afraid of the bad bunny energy in her house, why did she keep possession (pun intended) of the damn thing for weeks on end?
Rinna has one of the best props ever it’s a little blue box that you press like a remote and it says Fuck You! I need this in my life. Rinna says that Kim just wants to be on the show and she is her meal ticket. I have to say that when Kim was IN MY OPINION near death, I set a Google alert on her. It’s the only Google Alert I have. I used to cringe when they would come through because it was always something bad. For the last year or so, I only get one when she in on RHOBH and Rinna’s name is always on it too. Rinna has a lot of other publicity. Kim only has Rinna.
Dorit the idiot opens her mouth and I scream at her to shut up louder than Rinna did. Just shut the fuck up Dorit, this has nothing to do with you. Just shut the fuck up.
Andy is going to need to change pants several times he is so orgasmic about all the verbal jabs flying back and forth. Then he joins in with an imaginary question harking back to Kyle saying in the limo at the end of season one that Maurice takes care of Kim like a second wife and she still treats them badly. The question was, “How is that not enabling?” Kyle is very thrown by the question. Kyle doesn’t really know what an enabler is. She thinks it is just about giving the addict alcohol.
Eileen sticks up for Rinna. Kim is overtalking everyone. All of these scenes where Kim is trotted out do not make her look sober. In my opinion.
I think this is Round Four Xanax v. Coke. How the hell do I pick a side here? Can I have some of both? Dorit literally makes no sense when she tried to tell her side. Rinna says the Xanax story was in the press and she has kids. And then Kim says it’s in the press about me too and it hurts my kids. Yes Kim, multiple arrests, fleeing multiple rehabs under cover of darkness, disrupting your kids wedding and appearing to be unhinged in public all while not completing your court appointed sentence is exactly the same as Rinna joking about having a Xanax smoothie. It’s totally the same.
Andy tries to wrap things up and hopefully get Kim off the stage, but Eileen interrupts and wants to know why Kim thinking being on a soap opera is an insult. Kim says that soap operas are more dramatic. Eileen asks Kim, “Have you seen yourself on TV?” Kim is the most overly dramatic person on any franchise and Eileen is frequently called boring because she is not dramatic at all in real life.
Is Eileen only wearing one super long earring on purpose or did she lose one?
LVP hasn’t said twenty words this entire reunion. Why should she when Dorit will say it all? She really had no storyline other than animals and kids. The found Max’s mother through a PI. Max says he wants to meet his birth mother to than her for giving him up. LVP is fine with it. It sort of sounds like LVP wants to have him communicate through an intermediary. A viewer tried to give LVP shit for giving Max his own place. If you listen closely to the recording you hear her say he still has to pay the mortgage on the place. I don’t have a problem with her doing that at all, if she can afford it. It’s also a good way to hide assets by selling the property at a loss to your child for tax purposes. Or putting it in a family trust. She also got grief for not consoling Ken when he was crying about dogs. LVP and Eileen seem good. Maybe not really good. But good.
Andy ribs Rinna (SWIDT?) about posting a nude on Instagram. She says she loves the attention but the girls made her take it down. Harry didn’t know about it. We go right into another segment about Rinna. Because RINNA IS THE DAMN SHOW. Andy seems impressed that both her girls are high fashion models. Erika recently had dinner with Yolanda.
Everyone loves Harry. And his meat. And his pies. Harry watches all the shows and often tells Rinna, “You just can’t help yourself, can you?”
It seems that with the exception of Rinna and Kim, and perhaps Rinna and Eden and also Rinna and Dorit … everyone gets along well enough.
Andy takes the bunny for the clubhouse whether they want him to or not.
I really wanted to punch Kim in the face, Kyle does enable her and always will. I would really like to like Kyle but her defense of all of Kim’s terrible behavior won’t allow me too. I detest Dorit, I wish that her and her phony accent would just go away, she has had to be the perfect little soldier for LVP. Eileen is very direct and very honest and really sees things for what they are, and she makes the most sense out of just about all of them, she and Erika are the shit! Kim needs a full year of lock down rehab.
Eileen had not one original thought all season. All she does is camp off others’ storylines. She won’t be back unless they are having a show to treat insomniacs.
You grossly underestimate her fan base, she’ll be back.
Bless her heart for trying to reason with delusional, untreated, mentally ill, Kim Richards, with Kim squawking away at her like that. She is insanely obnoxious, just like Eileen said, and fking abrasive. She had no idea what the conversation was about and just inserted herself, but god forbid someone does that to her, she’ll take your head off.
I love Kyle, but she needs to do herself a favor and get her ass to an Al-Anon meeting and learn wtf enabling is.
Based on what they elected to show of the Reunion last night it just seemed odd there was no Eileen “package”. Usually they highlight each person events of the season and nothing for Eileen.
My regard for Eileen went downhill when she asked Kim about her making cracks about her soap opera career. I thought it kind of a conversation stopper when Kim said she was dramatic. She kept interrupting Kim and would not let Kim finish her thoughts. Not all acting is created equal, although Eileen certainly risen to the top of her field soap opera acting is not generally held in the same regard as other forms of acting.
I find it hard to discern between how Eileen presents on her scripted endeavors and her reality show persona. Maybe she is wisely guarded, I don’t know.
I agree about Kyle she has become the backbone of the franchise. Kyle may still be financially supporting Kim and doesn’t want to reveal it or only financially supports Kim when she is not drinking. I could not believe how badly she fumbled the question. How hard would it have been to say-that was seven years ago, things are different now.
My regard for Eileen went through the roof when she called Kim out and shut down Kim’s BS. She takes so much crap from vulgar people like Kim Richards for actually behaving like a real friend that the whole thing was amazing. I kept thinking Kim must be so incredibly jealous that Rinna has someone that consistently loyal and honest in her life for her to be so nasty for no damn reason. I want to see more of that Eileen next season.
Kim was the one who would not let Eileen speak. Eileen literally asked her, calmly and directly, about ten times to please let her finish speaking and Kim would not shut her trap. She yaps like a chihuahua over people and carries on. When even Andy telling her to be quiet could not get the job done, yes, Eileen talked over her.
I give her credit for still having even that much patience for Kim, but now it appears even she’s done lol
Kim kept talking and talking as Eileen was trying to talk, Kim was the rude one…. Kim moves her lips but all I hear is “Blah, Blah Blah”.
Some people will never respect daytime drama, and that’s cool. But you should know that Eileen is considered the best of the best. She had a mind-blowing stint on Days where she played several different characters at once, including a nun and a man. (She was a good sport about that, because there used to a be a weird urban legend about Eileen that she herself was born male.) IIRC, she was doing that intense Days stuff and her signature Ashley Abbot role on Y & R at the same time, for a while there.
Of course, that doesn’t compare with the prestige of Kim’s gig on Sharknado 3, but what can ya do?
lmfao @ sharknado
OMW that comment was everything @Auntie Velvet.
I agree !! love Eileen,loved to watch het sneak out of room when Rinna was coming clean about her talking about kim,she regained her memory and had to face them all at kyles tasting party.Love Eileen she always comes from a good place.
I completely agree. A big part of enabling is allowing addict behavior in a loved one continue and not calling the person out. Kim has not even begun to go the ongoing recovery work needed to stay clean and sober. If nothing changes nothing changes. We call that being a dry drunk.
Kim has pretty much been an ass whether she is drunk or not drinking. Kim giving up drinking won’t change her personality. It seems her family’s stance is pretty much they will stand by her as long as she doesn’t drink. Kyle made it clear she is not going to apologize for any of her sister’s behavior. I just think she let’s Kim make her own mistakes and the bunny thing was stupid and two steps backwards for Kim-let her feel the backlash for acting a fool. Should have given back off camera.
I don’t care to get into the family (sibling) dynamics of a RH’s sobriety. I don’t think Rinna should be spouting off about someone being “mostly sober” or attribute any conversation as not being a sober one unless someone is under the influence. These folks use program talk to foster their own agendas. (Rinna, Kim, Eden)
I just cannot buy that Kyle doesn’t know what enabling is. She says she’s been to Al-Anon, this has to be one of the basic topics covered? She has grown up with a sister with addiction issues and made it to this age without learning about enabling? No, not buying it.
I’m pretty sure Kyle knows what enabling is, just like she knew what Munchausen was. She also knows how to play dumb when it works in her favor.
How does it benefit the Richards sisters to get into a discussion about whether Kyle enables Kim or not? It will inevitably result in Kim’s behavior being exposed for public consumption yet again, because Kyle will be forced to give examples of where she drew the line and refused to support her sister, and I don’t think Kyle is interested in shaming her sister for the sake of it. I thought she dodged the question very skilfully with her attempt at redefining enabling.
Kyle actually mentioned last season that she’s been to family therapy week twice during some of Kim’s rehab stays, so I suspect she understands her role in Kim’s downfall perfectly (however small that may be).
Kyle never said she did not know what enabling is.She does not owe anyone an explanation as to how she does or does not enable Kim. In particular I doubt she would go into it with the likes of Rinna. She is actually friends with LVP and that is it. Not sure how the Erika friendship is going.
Did you watch the reunion where Kyle herself says she doesn’t know what enabling is and thought it was just providing drugs to the addict?
It’s interesting that Kyle refuses to see that she plays a role on Kim’s addiction. I didn’t know how much of a role until this reunion
If any one seeing Kim doesn’t believe she has mental disorders is blind. She causes more unreasonable chaos and adds nothing to this show. Dorit gold digger needs to go and care for her children Just because lvp is her friend, it doesn’t warrant her immature behavior. Eileen needs to be the leader and example for the rest. Lisa Renna has every right to be upset with the sisters, LVP, and Dorit. She needs none of these people who seem to envy her career, family, and success.I love bravo but I am one minute from deleting Bravo from my channel lists. Not wirth watching UNREAL WIVES.
Kyle doesn’t know what an “enabler” is – but she repeats “Kim is superstitious” 10 times, then encourages Kim to go tell RInna that she is superstitious.
Kyle knows exactly what it is but cannot admit her role in Kim’s addiction.
Good point – perfect example, albeit minor. She knows what it is and she does it.
Not everyone subscribes to AA’s philosophy regarding alcoholism. I guess Kim is going to AA, but they also mentioned family therapy. It’s a personal issue and others shouldn’t criticize them for how they deal with the problem.
I wish Rinna would have stuffed that damn rabbit up Kim’s ass!! How rude can one broad be?? I think what Rinna said is right…Kim NEEDS a check!! Washed up old hag!!
What a joke of a season it came down to a stupid stuffed bunny and Erika going without underpants. This is the season that will put the shark on the ramp. It pains me to see the celebrities lining up to honor the bunny. Get a life folks!
People really need to get over Kim giving Rinna back the damn bunny. It’s not that serious.
Besides, if Kim Richards ever wants a bunny, don’t people know she’ll just go along to Target and steal one?
I could give 2 fucks about the bunny, Kim is a hot lying mess. She throws daggers and then hides behind her addictions and whatever else she can. We all have seen the headlines, we know she is a waste of space and basically Rinna was right, her furs with her is what keeps that drink in bravo money.
There are times Vanderpump’s British humo(u)r theory makes sense. If you took my joke, which was so obviously at Kim’s expense (the part about her being a thief ought to have been the giveaway), as a defense of her actions then there really must have been something lost in translation.
As for Kim being a “drink”, what type of drink is she? Something with vodka, I hope. From all the typos, I’m wondering if Kim’s not the only one who likes a cocktail….
No cocktails this evening, just tired fingers.
@Johnny: Oh, I was so hoping Rinna would say that about Target and the bunny but realize Rinna won’t give Kim the satisfaction or the air time.
Kim really looks and acted bad. Noticed when Andy said goodbye to Kim and Eden, Eden got up and Kim just sat there. Boy she wants back on the show so bad, especially since the 81 y/o lady that got attacked by Kingsley won a big settlement today. Bet Kyle will enable that payoff.
I’m on the fence with Rinna and Eileen most of the time but love how they stand up to Kim. Kim and Rinna made up at cupcake party and here Kim is stating you hurt me. Same old shit; she is always the victim. Why Bravo gives her air time is confusing.
Ericka is very well spoken. Eden is out and Dorit may be too. This was a silly season.
It was a silly season. Totally forgettable!
Oh, I didn’t know that the poor 81 yo lady won a big settlement. I’m so happy for her, how awful that whole ordeal must have been.
Kim is a big smelly festering pos.
That is all.
Kim can always claim Bankruptcy and avoid the judgment. Don’t for get Kathy!
Roflmao best comment???
I hate that you are so biased. Not that you aren’t entitled………….it is your blog. But damn girl. Only reason Kim had any kind of story line is because Rinna ran her mouth and really it was the only reason Rinna had one. Bitch….back the fuck up. She said 3 years ago that she was done talking about Kim……….and here we are again.I think Kim has been sober, working a program (none of which is anyone’s business as far as details).
So many people say there is no way she’ll be sober for her grandchild. Some people don’t KNOW shit. My mother was a complete drunk………….. just horrible. But years later after I’d had my kids she got stone cold sober….all one her own. (No program, still amazes me). She wanted a relationship with her grandsons way more than having a drink..
My boys spent 3 weeks each summer with her and my grandfather for many years.
Oh and their father …….. moved to a state that didn’t enforce child support. Well that is kinda beside the point..opps
Amen. Rinna has been harping about Kim for 3 seasons. Can we move on already with a new storyline?
I think Rinna is witty and has more to offer. Like pimping her kids out as models and throwing around Gigi’s name. Or the QVC line we get to see every season in the annual trip to Philly to sell cardigans.
Maybe more screen time with Harry would make her more likeable.
They need a cast shake up and it’s not Dorit. Or Eileen. Or Eden. Or the tired storylines about drug abuse or LVP being a manipulator.
Other than a few beautiful trips, this season was a snoozefest.
I’m voting for less Harry. He has no personality. He looks barely awake. Maybe she just overshadows him. Something is up with him and their marriage. It seems fake.
How did he not know his wife posted a naked picture on her Instagram?
Are we all watching the same show? Rinna was visibly uncomfortable in every scene when Kim appeared. She always approached her with kindness which must have been hard – I couldn’t do that, no way. So how is Rinna to blame for this? She had a stupid moment of talking shit about Kim after Kim yet again picked a fight with her – but it’s Rinna making this a thing still? So how is it at all biased to point out in a recap of everything Kim has done that brought this crappy attention on herself? It’s just truth. Damn I’m tired of living in an age of alternative facts.
I agree with this. It was with the introduction of Eden that all this came up again. Eden, knowing of Kim’s past was the one who started harping on it to Kyle and later Kim. Yes, Rinna may have been holding a grudge and went to far . However, Kim has been nothing but nasty to Rinna from the start of the introduction of Rinna. People forget the car ride, poker night , when Kim tried to climb over the fence etc. Not saying Rinna doesn’t have her faults, (don’t we all). She is passive/aggressive in some situations. She did “forget” the conversation with Eden. But if, again, Eden had not run to LVP this would not have even been an issue. Don’t blame Rinna for bringing Kim back. It was Bravo driven, what other storyline did Eden have? Her sister died and she was obsessed that Kim was on that track as well. Where did that come from? Even before that conversation with Rinna she was on that track. Bravo, goes for the weak and whispers what they want them to do. We will probably see evidence of that next week with Porsha on Atlanta. Kyle may be an enabler for sure, but Bravo is the biggest enabler of all.
YAAAASSSSSS ?
Except for the time she went for her throat and threw a glass.
@Lynn: I don’t think TT is biased and she has defended Kim in the past, but Kim’s actions can’t be defended as time goes on. We have all followed Kim through the years and notice whether she is using or says she’s sober, Kim is JUST NOT A NICE PERSON. IMO Kim is not following any program and probably never has, or it never lasts long. Even if she was sober for 10 years I would never, ever leave her alone with my child.
Yes, Rinna talked about her, but they hugged it out at the cupcake party six months before and Rinna never uttered a word about Kim the rest of the season. Then here comes Kim with bunny in hand at reunion whining “you hurt me.” Ugh. Rinna did Kim a favor by giving her a storyline/paycheck the last three years.
Wonderful on your Mom and so happy for you. What a strong and loving women. Glad to hear there are happy endings.
It was quite telling when asked how long Kim had been sober Kyle said “um, I’m not sure”.
Amen
Like Eileen said, NO ONE talks about Kim if she doesn’t insert herself in a conversation she knows nothing about AND the insert is INSULTING Eileen and Rinna. You don’t get to cry about a shot at you, when you fired first.
Thank you for noticing Kim is trying. People won’t notice if they don’t like you. Just like Porsha anger management, I think she behaves better. But people won’t give them credit because they like the other team. No matter what they do or say
Kudos to your mom. IMO, programs don’t work for many people. I don’t think sitting around a group of people talking about how shitty they feel and how it felt when they got high is good for most. You have to want it or you end up like Eden, spending the remainder of her days talking about her sobriety. Shut up already!!
Why is Kim still on this show. I am sick of her and Kyle and LVP. Isn’t it time for all three to go….along with Dorit. PK IS A PIG. Lost a viewer here.
I thought Erika hit the nail exactly on the head with her assessment of everyone saying things about each other and the cycle it goes through.
Whether you like Dorit, or not, I think she handled herself really well in this episode and she was very sharp with what she had to say. It made sense to me, but maybe I just speak her accent ?
I totally agree with you, Dorit impressed me very much and I usually don’t care for her. Eileen is my favorite by miles, too. Boring? How about sharp, funny, and reasonable?
I do find it interesting that with all the years of alcoholism in the family that Kyle has never been to al-anon, doesn’t sorak any kind of recovery lingo and can’t elaborate about her role in Kim’s addiction. It made me sad for them.
I think that’s because the family can’t get Kim to AA.
Omg I will never get these three hours back. Don’t know why this was 3 episodes, 1 would have been enough. I think this show has run its course, especially if Kim keeps coming on. This season of Erika’s vag and LVPs dogs was not worthy of a lengthy reunion. They spent more time on Kim who wasn’t even a cast member. I for one am sick of Kim and her enablers that were sitting with her on the couch.
And I wish Andy would stuff that bunny…..
Lisa should have shoved that bunny up Kim’s drug addled ass. If you look up the word, enabler in the dictionary…Kyles picture would be there.
Kim trying to crack on Eileen was pathetic. Where is your Emmy, Kim?
I really do want to like Kim but she makes it impossible. Why does she keep going after Eileen? Eileen never did anything to Kim. I remember Kim calling Eileen a monster and saying terrible things to her for no reason. Kim never apologizes to anyone yet demands endless apologies.
Because Eileen is so far up Erik’s and Lisa’s asses she don’t have a storyline of her own. She and Lisa with all the side eyes and rolls. People notice but don’t say anything about it.
I don’t really need her to have a dramatic storyline, although she certainly has plenty of drama in her personal life. I just enjoy her dry wit as the audience surrogate, kind of like Bethenny in the early days of RHONY, or Dorinda in her first two seasons.
I think what throws me off with the post/comments about Kim and Rinna is association between Kim giving the bunny back and her having an addiction that isn’t being addressed which lead to her being mean and giving back the damn bunny. I took it for face value: they both hate each other and used each other for a storyline.
I would have done the same thing Kim did at the reunion. Eileen hit the nail on the coffin and said that was a calculated move to hurt Rinna and guess what, it did. Kim, at this reunion earned the right to say “check mate bitch”. Let’s not confuse her addiction and the damn bunny together. Kim provided one of the most shocking and memeroable reunion moments next to Teresa shoving Andy (RHONJ) and Porsha snatching Kenya (RHOA).
Rinna, to me, crossed the line a few times BUT I find her authentic and someone that speaks without thinking and truly feels remorse. I like her but she can be too much. If I had to choose between Brandi and Rinna, I’d just Rinna. I’ve never gotten the impression that she did things for shock value but just being impulsive (but again, feeling remorse after the fact). For Kim, that doesn’t make sense. Addictions mess with your emotions and cognitive thoughts; she lacks a lot of critical thinking skills and to me, it seems like she can’t comprehend how Rinna works nor accept an apology from her.
I’m in the middle of my masters/counseling degree so I feel like I totally went left instead of right lol. Either way, Kim is my spirit animal with reality tv. Let’s take it for face value and admit what she did was hilarious and a made for reality tv moment lol.
Way too deep and um no, not hilarious to me in any way.
I don’t find it funny either. I thought it was disturbing and cruel.
In no way was what Kim did funny.
Its not funny. Its sick.
Nope, not funny. Disturbed? You’re in counselling psych – do you think that action was healthy FOR KIM even?
Funny so much schooling and still uneducated. Keep studying Not Andy and one day you may learn something.
Kim was just becoming likable. The Bunny stunt was plain mean and reflected poorly on Kim, IMHO.
I’m so confused on where I stand with Kim. I’m the kind of person who roots for an under dog. But as times goes on enough is enough. In some ways I relate to Kim. I am an addict. I’ve made mistakes. The difference if I’m well aware when I do something stupid and I’ve been sober for 6 years. I just can’t with rinna and Eileen though. I can’t decide who I think is dumber. Eileen and rinna for thinking they can reason with crazy or Kim for actually being crazy.
I thought Kim came off looking bad this reunion, she is so vindictive. I love that Rinna and Eileen always have each other’s backs, I think it’s refreshing in a show like this. I don’t understand why they get attacked for being true friends. Also I thought some of the questions from “viewers” were pretty shady.
I think this reunion series could have been wrapped up in two episodes. Actually this whole season kind of dragged on. I think Dorit will be back and Eden’s out. Hopefully Kim is not involved either, we can all hope right?
I don’t really have any commentary on anyone’s behavior because this is my fav HW franchise and I love all these ladies, but I have to say that I couldn’t get over how gorgeous everyone looked. Truly a stunning group of women.
As I mentioned under TT’s previous RHOBH reunion recap, it is a shame pantygate was brought up again since PK probably did not see what he claimed.
I love RHOBH but I’m sick of Rinna and Kim. Same fucking storyline for three seasons. LVP and Kyle refuse to look bad on camera as well as Erika. I realized what was missing when I caught up with RHONY over the weekend..there are real, crazy emotions with those ladies.
Yes, some people don’t KNOW shit! You know, opinions and all.
That’s why they make yellow cars.
Indeed! And, those ones that the hamsters drive. (I think they’re hamsters?) ☺
After last night’s episode it occurred to me one of the reason I LOVE Ladies of London is that they do not have a reunion! That may be why they move on from crap faster than the ladies on the Housewife shows. I think if they nix the reunions each new season will actually feel new instead of a continuum of the prior season’s crap.That said, I do think that this season was better than last and had more light fun spots than last season. I enjoyed their trips and Kyle’s parties are always awesome.
That bunny would not have been the big deal it became if Andy had not gone on and on and on and ON about that stupid bunny!! He thoroughly enjoys seeing these wives stab each other in the heart. I personally didn’t see the big deal with the bunny being returned to Rinna and was so happy when they finally changed topics.
What I love about Rinna is even after they throttle her(which is sometimes deserved) she can bounce back and keep it moving and even though she brings most of the drama she does bring fun to the show too.
Should Kyle know what an enabler is? Probably. Do I care that she doesn’t? NO because Kyle gives what I want to see which is fun parties, trips and a view into the lifestyle of the wealthy. I wish the cameras would follow her family on their European vacations.
Eileen is the voice of reason on a show where reason will never prevail but I love her trying.
Dorit can be annoying and talks WAAAYYY too much but I think she makes good reality t.v. and should be asked back. I will now brace myself for the beating this last statement will bring my way, LOL.
I am shocked at all of the pro-Rinna talk! I can’t believe anyone likes her. I am not team Kim, but Good Christ, Rinna is one of the worst housewives in history, and she is such a fucking victim.
Not shocking at all to me. Definitely don’t agree that she’s one of the worst housewives. She makes for a great reality TV ‘villain’! For me, Cindy Barshop tops the worst housewives list, closely followed by Carlton Gebbia and Marisa Zanuck.
Kyle comes across so much better without Kim on the show. What she doesn’t seem to understand is that in defending Kim’s ridiculous behavior, she is an enabler and should be labeled as such. Hey Kyle, YOU pick a lane! For what it’s worth, my brother is an alcoholic and just as mean/nasty as Kim. We long ago stopped making excuses for his out of control behavior.
I’m still a huge fan of Eileen…probably because I’m an ‘Eileen’ in real life. For those of you saying she supports Rinna’s bad behavior, on several occasions we heard her say what Rinna did wasn’t ok. That said, she stands with her friend as true friends do. Team Left Couch.
I’m an Eileen as well. What’s wrong is wrong and what’s right is right. I don’t stand up for anyone that behaves inappropriately and I mean anyone.
Even after seven years, these women are still watchable. Each one has her good and bad side, and the fact that I like Lisa R, Erika and Eileen better than the other three, probably says more about me than them. I’m used to Kyle and Lisa V, they do little to surprise me. Eden seemed to think that the fact that she was a recovering alcoholic granted her permission to censor Kim and comment on her behavior. Who the hell is she to Kim? I have not warmed up to Dorit one iota. She plays the Dumb Blond innocent, big eyes and all. She keeps bringing up her two little kids as a defense to everything. In reality she hooked herself up with an ugly old man because he was filthy rich, and had the two kids quickly to cement her position in his life. Money train.
Isn’t that just what Erika did–marry an old rich man and hang on?!
Tom was in his late fifties when they got married, I don’t consider that an “old man”. Granted, there is a 30 year gap between the two of them, but it’s not like she married a 70 year old. They’ve also been married nearly 20 years, so whatever they’re doing works for them. Mazel tov, I say.
Surprisingly, PK is much younger than he looks. 48 I believe? He looks old as hell but he isn’t. He’s only 8 or 9 years older than his wife.
Here is an apology primer to all of the housewives on all of the shows:
Correct: “I am sorry that I hurt you…..”
Incorrect: “I am sorry if you feel that I hurt you….”
I kinda missed this last night, but it occurs to me that the long segment about the Hamlins looked distinctly like a set-up for a Rinna spin-off with her daughters. I know the “we want to be models” thing is played out on reality TV with Gigi and Kendall, but with Rinna as the main pull doing her thing, and Handsome Harry popping up here and there, I’d watch!
And let’s face it, she doesn’t work so well with ensemble casts. She running out of women to fight with on RHOBH, so it’d be the perfect time for her to go off and do her own thing.
Rinna has totally disgusted me. She came in as a wolf in sheep’s clothing, pretending to be nice, perky, acted like she was a “good time girl” when in fact she is just a bully. Each season she has picked on the women who were weakest…first season, Brandi and Kim, about their [private, personal] alcohol issues etc., then went after Yolanda, accusing her of being mental instead of sick from Lyme disease as if she is an expert, then turned on LVP and ruined their trip to Dubois about a comment that LVP made THE FIRST SCENE OF THE SEASON… but Rinna’s issues seem to be rooted in anger, almost hatred, towards people with addiction issues. I recall one or two seasons ago Rinna practically yelling in a “snarling” voice to Kyle, “THAT’s how you deal with ADDICTS, Kyle, you just WALK AWAY.” As if any loving family member would do that with a sibling, but Rinna probably would, she seems to really put others down if they don’t do “tough love” techniques…two or three seasons ago when the cast went to Amsterdam, she told Yolanda that Harry Hamlin had only been sober like seven months, and obviously she herself didn’t do any tough love over that situation since they have been together for so long, hypocrite, and that he had lost I think two brothers to alcoholism, and Rinna herself lost a sister to a drug overdose. I believe she has held on to the hurt from all of that, which appears to have festered into resentment and anger, and projects it onto Kim — this has been a pattern. Not saying that Kim has always handled things right, but it is true what she said that Rinna continues to repeat her behavior patterns of saying defamatory/slanderous things about her, then acting as if she is sorry/sometjmes saying so. crying fake tears [usually at reunions], telling others that she will no longer say anything about Kim, then proceeds to rREPAT THE SAME BEHAVIOR…definition of insanity, by the way…Eden was more self-aware — or honest — about how she had projected her own family issues [from having a sister who was an addict and also died from a drug overdose] onto Kim and Kyle than Rinna EVER has been…I say all of that to say this, the headline here is not about Kim returning Rinna’s stuffed bunny for Kim’s grandson, but that Rinna — the day after she apologized to Kim at Kyle’s [after Eden stepped in and encouraged them to listen to each other] for hurting Kim with statements about her — opened her BIG MOUTH to EDEN, of all people, who is totally sensitive to issues with addicts, having had her own sister die from an overdose, brand new to the group/show, etc. the following three statements — one, that Kim wasn’t completely sober — how would she know — two, that Kim was close to death; — based on what Kyle shared with the other hws like A YEAR AND A HALF BEFORE in the Hamptons when they all shared what their biggest fears were and AT THAT TIME Kyle said she was scared she would get a call in the night that Kim had o.d.’d and three, that Kyle is her enabler, based on what who knows…. And Rinna is supposed to be Kyle’s friend… and she had just “acted” the night before to all of them as if she was sorry for saying things about Kim in the past but the next day while clothes- shopping in a store of all things, bringing up to Eden, “What did you think of the KIM RICHARDS stuff?” in the same breath to Eden, practically, Rinna said she was no longer going to talk about Kim…? OF COURSE, this alarmed Eden, which Rinna probably planned and knew how Eden would react, and it concerned Eden — considering what Eden went through with her own sister, I get it. You would THINK Rinna would be compassionate also, having gone through it with her own sister, but as I stated above, I believe instead of being compassionate about similar issues, Rinna seems to be still hurt/angry from the experience with her own sister, and acts almost hateful towards people with addiction issues. And I don’t blame Eden for going to LVP about it, because she knew LVP and Kyle are BFFs, and she was CONCERNED FOR KIM’S LIFE…also, Rinna’s vicious accusation that Kyle is Kim’s enabler when they are supposed to be friends, wtf? So I really feel MUCH more should have been made about Rinna’s serial VICIOUS statements and patterns, and MUCH LESS about that stupid bunny and a pair of underwear, come on…at one point when Andy asked Rinna why she said those things, she started to answer, “Well I’ll tell you…”, never finished,and THEY LET IT GO….of all of the questions, that one needed to be answered…plus, they needed to call Rinna out on how in Mexico, when Kyle confronted her about saying those things, first she said she couldn’t remember, then she blamed it all on Eden – COME ON…like a week later, AFTER talking to Eden and for some reason, Harry Hamlin?? Who the heck refers to their husband with both names???? WTF…it dawns on her that she needs to fess up to it is the real truth to the matter it seems… Rinna is NOT who she says she is, someone who “OWNS IT” at all, she SHIFTS THE BLAME, is NOT A LOYAL FRIEND, has been manipulated by Eileen since the middle of last season when Eileen got Rinna to turn on LVP – that was when Kathleen told the other hws that Erika had called LVP a sniper from the side etc. and at first Rinna was like “I don;t think so,” and stuck up for LVP and Eileen didn’t like that as she was still holding that stupid grudge against LVP and since then, those two are like one. Bottom line, MUCH is made about LITTLE things with these hws and esp at reunions, and not enough about HUGE things…statements Rinna makes that appear to be SLANDEROUS, DEFAMING, damaging relationships, job opportunities, maybe even threatening sobriety, ETC…..Rinna has done this to others too…appears to be a liability but just the viciousness alone, so turns me off i cannot stand her anymore at all.
What show did you watch?!
Rinna didn’t make anything up about Kim, when this was filmed Kim was still drinking and in the press for stealing! Rinna did not defame Kim at all. Nothing that Rinna has said about Kim is a lie.
PS I call my husband Mr [insert name here] when talking about him with friends, I don’t find the Harry Hamlin thing particularly odd. What I do find odd is that a number of these educated women pretend to not know the meaning of words, such as munchausen and enabler…
Love everything about this response, Vickie80.
For anyone who read that wall of words above. Is there anything that needs to be edited or deleted?
Nah, the wall if words is just inconsistent ramblings, nothing of interest, note or relevance.
Thanks. I can’t read that much without paragraphs. There could have been an ISIS plot in there or something and I would have never known.
Everything Rinna has said about Kim has been true…and she’s the only one willing to say it.
This is why I don’t understand the people who think she isn’t allowed to say anything to Kim after all the crap she has done to Rinna.
Great synopsis. I agree a million percent.
Not to be too off the subject here, but last year Kim and her daughter (whom she named KIMBERLY – narcissist) were on a reality show “Mother Daughter…something”.
I could never find the last episode, and I thought I read it was due to some legality brought on by Kim.
She was a complete and controlling ass on that show. Just like she is on RH. The people in her life are afraid of her acting like the asshat she is and they pander to keep the chaos at bay. Kyle is great at semantics when it comes to her sister. But still, guilty. She flat out admitted how she handles her friendship w/LVP last season. So she’s no dummy she just knows how to play the game. She may be the ultimate puppet master in Beverly Hills. I don’t watch soaps but it’s my understanding that Eileen is a modern day Susan Lucci and this irks Kim’s fallen star beyond words.
In the last episode, after acting “not exactly sober” the entire time, she had to leave the game via ambulance over some issue that was not allowed to be shown. When she was on that show, she seemed near death by the end.
I in no way have seen any consistent behavior by Kim that indicates she is not near death. The grandson does seemed to have helped and could be the one thing that saves her life.
Ladies with loving hearts seated stage left. Self righteousness the right over ripe for retirement.
I like that, TD.
Vanderpump is pure evil. Just look in her eyes! Sorry, read that on another thread and thought it was hilarious!
LOL while slapping my knee.
As Erika’s panties (or lack of) and a blue bunny were the ‘drama’ this season, RHOBH is up sh*t creek without a paddle.
How on earth Bravo squeezed three hours from this snooze-some reunion mystifies me.
Andy, no Kim next season please or it’s ‘Buh bye’ from me. Her dysfunction and denial is too tragic to watch.
No Rinna went too far ..she cant help herself but open her mouth.She uses other ppl situations that dont involve her as an excuse for her saying things to hurt others.There was no good reason 4 her to say kim was near death to Eden,sounds to me she used it as her “”mealTicket”” as she accused kim of doing with her, sorry she desrved to get what she did at the reunion &should of been thankful thats all she got.Hope she learns to focus on herself and her own battles.I wss disgusted when she commented about dorits paty being a coke party-come on,That just put a bad taste in my mouth about her after that.dorry Rinna u lost this round.
How does Kim’s “situation” not involve Rinna? Kim terrorized Rinna in a 45 minute van ride and caused a frightening scene inside of Eileen’s house. Is Kim’s behavior not allowed to be questioned because she’s high?
for multiple seasons?
I am glad Im not alone in my contempt for Kim Richards. She is a mean, nasty, vile human being. I never could understand why she was ever on the show in the first place? The Witch ran from the Mountain and landed on Bravo RHOBH. With that said Lisa Rinna and Eileen both have per pegged correctly and Im proud of Eileen for calling her out and exposing her, and even Rinna because so many of Kim’s vicious attacks involve Rinna. With the arrest records all over the place, and rehab, and then the Bull Dog biting her own niece for which she acted like a total B$#ch I honestly dont see how Kyle can have anything to do with her. Just because she is a sister does not make her a good person in any form or fashion.
Kim Richards is the most manipulative, sneaky, vicious person ever to be on any of the housewife shows, and is yes , my least favorite. In fact I detest the woman. She gives new meaning to Batshit Crazy with a whole lot of nasty meaness mixed in.
