Ya’ll this was all the tea I planned to spill tonight until the Wendy Williams situation broke wide open! I can’t compete with that; HOWEVER, I do think the Southern charm tea is particularly interesting as well as my exclusive tidbit about the Jeff and Gage situation. There is a ton of interesting news here! Please share on social media!
Kyle Richards and Lisa Vanderpump continue to pump up the ratings for the upcoming season of RHOBH. Why does Kyle always get sucked in to the TMZ trap? Every time they seem to lead her into saying something they can twist. Kyle did not say that LVP wanted to be paid to be at the baby shower. She did say, as did the other RHOBH when asked that she thought LVP should have shown the fuck up. LVP did call the entire cast bitches, though. But it was with a British accent so it was simply British humor, right Vandercults?
Jeff Lewis says Andy Cohen pitched him a show idea and he is down for it. This was reported by People who is apparently under the delusion that Andy Cohen is a “Bravo Executive.” He is not. But the good news is Bravo has never turned down anything that Andy has pitched to them since the housewives. So it is highly likely Jeff will be back on Bravo at some point.
Gina Kirschenheiter gave a statement on her DUI to Page Six. This makes me worried she hasn’t retained counsel yet. That was not smart.
Margaret Josephs borrowed $200,000 in 2016 from a close friend right before she started filming RHONJ. She used her house as collateral and promised to pay it back in a year. She did not. Her friends (a couple) are suing her and petition to put a lien on her house. The will have to get behind the IRS though, they already have one for a similar amount. Marge was sued by her former divorce attorney in March for over $3,000 over unpaid legal bills from 2015. In December of 2018 Vineyard Vines won a suit against her Macbeth collection for $610,000. Margaret claims she is going to appeal that one. Oh and also her $1.125 million Englewood home went into foreclose in December of 2017. This gives me anxiety just talking about it. I have panic attacks four times a year worried that my quarterly payments to the IRS won’t go through properly and every month when I have to log on to pay my extremely low bills. How do people function being so in debt?
Larissa Lima from 90 Day Fiance is ranting again on Instagram. She apparently keeps getting thrown of IG somehow because she keeps starting new accounts. She wants us to know that she was not looking to move to Vegas to be with her two friends and that when she met Coltee and that he lived in Seattle with his mommy at that time. He lost his job there and received an offer in Vegas. She would never move to the US to get a green card by marrying a poor person who lives with his mother. It is true love. Except they hate each other and are getting a divorce.
Exclusive Gossip from Weho Re Jeff Lewis and Gage Edward: Both work out at the same gym and since September 2017 both have worked out separately (one leaves and 10 minutes later the other shows up). Jeff always wears black shorts a blue zip up hoodie and does not use the locker room. Gage does change and has a wandering eye for guys with dark features.
UPDATE: Well, it didn’t take long for this tea to become public… Just got this email, “You were right about Jeff and Gage! Gage went on a date with someone from the gym over the weekend. Jeff just said it on his show!”
Interesting Southern Charm Gossip from this IG account. Looks like Ashley Jacobs got a trick to take her to Mexico. “a_beautiful_snarky_mess “Hello Everyone ❣️❣️❣️ Guys… I have some interesting information that’s been sent to me sporadically over the past few days by various people. I wasn’t sure whether or not to “report” because as you know people get a little “crazy” with Southern Charm… So allegedly, Ashley has done again what she does best: turn on someone who has helped her when she was down and out. The recipient of Ashley’s crazy wrath this time is none other than her old roommate. You know the one, she has the cute dog that Ashley kept posting about back during the Holidays… (when Ashley was allegedly broken up with Thomas…🙄🙄🙄) Stories swirling back in Charleston is that Ashley and her roommate had a falling out… What caused this alleged falling out???
Ashley’s recent vacation to Tulum. Allegedly Thomas Ravenel was inquiring about the mystery man Ashley went with… we’ll call him “Jeremy.” Anyhoo, I guess the roommate didn’t give the appropriate response to Thomas. As a result Thomas and Ashley got into some fight. Ashley then blamed the roommate for it and allegedly set out on a war path of destruction. And by destruction I mean, Ashley allegedly set out to ruin her old roommate’s reputation with her (the roommate) employer and worse, trying to get her (the roommate) to lose custody of her daughter. Now, I keep saying this is allegedly because I haven’t seen the texts messages between Ashley and her old roommate. And I have limited information on the roommate. This has been sent to me by different people.” This account has really cool graphics like the one above. This is the text of that graphic which is part two of the story. “In other “news”, allegedly Thomas’ on-again, off-again “girlfriend” is staying at a budget type hotel… Again, this is allegedly as I don’t have any photos of her actually staying at a budget hotel. Many ask why “report” if I don’t have concrete evuhdens… and well, I get to practice on my “artwork”. Also, what is seemingly true is she definitely had a falling out with her old roommate.
I believe every word of this. Especially since Ashley has a history trying to ruin the reputations of those who fall out of favor with her. She’s extremely jealous of women with good, legal jobs, families, children, friends etc. She is always looking for some sort of external recognition, like that time she had her minions and ghostnics vote for her to win a nursing award.
Tanya Sam is hosted a charity fundraiser at her house this weekend for Kate’s Club with Niles Fitch from This Is Us (Teenaged Randall)! Both Niles and Tanya lost a parent when we were young and Niles is [email protected]katesclub Alumni kid. He and his sister went through the clubhouse programs and summer camps here in Atlanta after they lost their father. Kate’s Club was instrumental in helping his family heal and get back on their feet. If you want to get involved with Kate’s Club there are so many ways to give. They always love volunteers and of course you can donate at their website or plan to attend their gala in May.
Luann de Lesseps is in the ATL tonight! She had drinks with Cynthia Bailey at Lake Bailey! Then they went out to dinner and have seats at the Superbowl!
I remember reading about the Vineyard Vines suit last RHONJ season, before Siggy Flicker mentioned it during the reunion (but it was probably hear PR crew who leaked all that twisted tea). Considering how RHONJ has basically been built on legal drama (as in, morons who always find themselves on the wrong side of the law), I’m not really suprised Margaret is the latest cast member to be drowning in debt and attempting all sorts of schemes to stay one step ahead of the tax collector.
Watching the Superbowl halftime show reminds me how much I miss Prince.
I feel bad for Margaret.
Double ditto.
Prince was the consummate performer, among his other musical talents. No pyrotechnics can make up for major talent. Not taking away from Maroon 5 or Big Boi (I had to look that up) but a Prince is one in a few million.
And I like Marge. I hope she gets things straight and stays on RHNJ.
Never fear, being broke, in legal trouble and not paying the IRS is something producers seem to love. Especially with RHONJ. If she goes to jail, she will get her own special!
What about MAFS! I’ve been waiting for your write up! It’s almost been a week!
You may have noticed I’ve been a bit busy..
I know, but I love your write-ups! They are so much fun! It is hard to wait!
Does bravo seek cast members with financial problems on purpose so they have more control over them? Producters can script drama and they comply.
So sad above Wendy W
Bethenny was in town giving a speech earlier that morning. Kyle said she might drop in. Why didn’t she show? Kandi, LuAnn didn’t show due to work. Vanderpump was at some kind of home show with that Alain guy in Vegas. This shower was hastily put together with short notice. Common denominator for those who didn’t attend: successful working women who don’t have to kiss Andy’s ass. The whole party looked liked a drunken debauchery mess (led by Rinna) and don’t blame any of the women for not going even if they could.
Bethenny wasn’t scheduled for that morning (that was Ramona promoting that to stir shit up).. I googled – B was scheduled at something like 2 PM. She was one of the main speakers. There is no way she could bck out of that and keep her obligations.
LVP though – c’mon. It wasn’t an appearance.
You may be right on Ramona but I heard Kyle saying that. LVP wasn’t even in town and had a scheduled appearance to promote Alain and her new restaurant. Funny how her work and commitments don’t count but everyone else’s do. Bethenny a main speaker LOL.
Poor Margaret, what a mess, it gives me pain to think about owing so much money. I know there are rich and famous people all over the place saying, “lawsuit? pish, send it to my people!” I am not one of those people, and a financial lawsuit, not to mention Many lawsuits would freak me out.
Honestly TT, if you only did these Tea updates on your site and nothing else I would be satisfied. They are that good.
“Poor Margaret” more than likely put herself in this position.
You don’t accidentally borrow $200K from your bestie and not payback a dime, steal other people’s work and get sued, or forget to pay the IRS…
Wonderful graphic about Ashley Jacobs’ accommodation dilemma!!
Then I noticed on IG the ex-room-mate of Ashley has befriended Kathryn, and their little daughters have had what looked like a very successful play-date posted to IG stories (on both moms’ accounts).
I must say I was not surprised Ashley’s attempt to sponge off the other solo mom did not last. Ashley was posing with her hostess’s dog and not telling IG admirers the dog was not hers. She was telling admirers she would take the dog to meet up with them and their dog, etc. She was letting people praise her for the home’s decoration and objects in the background of the photos – that all belonged to her hostess. Classic grifter at work, and the other woman obviously woke up to the fact she was being used to further Ashley’s on-line image.
But from what you have written, being asked to tell lies to Thomas by Ashley – when Ashley had gone to Mexico with “Jeremy” – was obviously a step too far for the mom who had taken Ashley into her home.
I LOVE that Kathryn and Ashley’s roommate are friendly now 🙂 And is that how Ashley won that Nursing Award? I never could figure that one out.
Especially when the only “nursing” Ashley does is letting rich old men suck her tits.
Have you seen the latest drama over on IG? Ashley’s peeps are going HARD on the ex-roommate. Posting HORRIBLE things about drug addiction and rehab. Extremely personal information and screenshots of conversations that she, according to them, had with Ashley. Which also shows that Ashley is behind it all because how else do you get the screenshots?? I feel sick for the ex-roommate. She’s having her name and reputation just being dragged thru the mud. It’s sick and vile.
I don’t have an Instagram account so I’m limited on what I can see but I did hear about it. That must be how her custody arrangement seemed at risk. Well, Sick and Vile describe Ashley to a T. Am I the only one that gets the feeling like her Mexican getaway was more like a work assignment? Ashley may only have about 3 or 4 “peeps” but I think they have multiple personalities and they are pitbulls. Maybe she can move in with one of them? Or crawl back under that rock she creeped out from.
That is what Ashley does when she wears out her welcome. She doxes people and splashes their personal information (some true some not) all over the Internet. She calls people’s employers and tries to get them fired. She calls landlords and tries to get them evicted, she publishes their names and their families names and tries to get them to lose custody of their children.
That is the person Aaron Rothman desperately wants to be on Southern Charm.
I want her to get whats coming to her, and I hope we all have a front row seat!
I think there was sponging off another way around. Lara was/is trying to get on the show and went with Ashley to fox hunt filming. Anyone who can allow themselves to be Ashley’s ‘ride or die’ (her words, not mine) is not better than Trashley. Catherine needs to be careful- these characters are not to be trusted.
I’m frankly sick of the Vanderpump fans thinking she is some untouchable saint that is eternally the victim when she’s always been the villain. Also, I love Kyle, but I’m also sick of her letting herself get trapped by TMZ. She has no one to blame but herself for TMZ twisting her words. I believe Kyle, and if you watch, you’ll see she was joking and not insinuating anything, but this isn’t her first time being thrown under the bus by TMZ. She’s too experienced to be letting this happen.
Amen!
I said this in another post, but I’m rewatching season 2 of RHOBH. Lisa V seems so unnatural and pushy when Kim and Taylor are fighting other people. It is kind of scary to see after all we know now about Russell’s death and Kim’s substance abuse. She seems like a very calculating and untrustworthy person.
One thing I love about the early seasons of rhobh is seeing the envy LVP exudes from her pores just by being around Kyle. LVP was and still is such a hater towards the other women in the spotlight. Ugh. Looking forward to the upcoming season’s recaps.
Setsuna, I was coming to say the same thing. LVP showed herself when Taylor came on the show and Kyle was nice to her and included her in the group. half the season was LVP having a fit because Kyle was her friend and shouldn’t be friendly with the new girl.
It was at that point that LVP started trying to sweep up the new people to be her minions.
For those of you with no time to watch all of the seasons back, I have done a COMPLETE GUIDE TO PREVIOUS SEASON (up to whatever season we were on at the time) that shall remain a time capsule of LVPs evolution on the show…
https://tamaratattles.com/2016/04/15/here-is-how-the-real-housewives-of-beverly-hills-works-an-abridged-history/
My husband has been in and out while I’ve been watching it this weekend. He is a 48-year-old man who loves Blood and guts and all types of violence and he said the stuff is brutal I thought they just fight about shoes and clothes he couldn’t take it. He also questioned why Lisa had that other man (the guy she tried to hook up with Kim) at Pandora’s engagement announcement dinner. She always has random males around her.
Read the post #WOW!!!!!
LVP is duplicitous, using one of her words. Once you see it you can’t unsee it.
Marge lives in Englewood? How dreadful!
I read this in Dwight’s voice and cackled!
She might need to move to Paterson at this rate…
Paramus. Actually, Englewood is not a bad zip code, relatively speaking, but not the best. The best towns to live in in northern Bergen County are Saddle River, Upper Saddle River or Mahwah.
I saw some purses from the macbeth collection at Ross the other day. Made me think of marge and all her lawsuits. I really like her, but I do not know how some RH know they are drowning in debt, and continue to live a certain lifestyle. Also. Tanya is too good for RHOA.
Honestly I dont see why it’s such a big deal that LVP(and the others) didn’t attend that shower. She has said she gave him a gift and called him. AC isnt a someone she needs to bow down to. I was just at a bridal shower that some family members didnt attend (GASP!) because they had previous commitments or had to work. It was a fricken baby shower, not the second coming. I guess if you dont like someone that automatically means everything they do is wrong and unacceptable. Besides, how many events did Ramona or Kyle or any of them not attend simply because they had a bee up their butt?
I know LVP isnt perfect but come on, why is this the crime of the century?
TT, I would have full on 24/7 panic attacks if I was living in a debt / law suit ridden existence. BUT, I would never be in that situation to begin with!
People have very different relationships with money. I have the bag lady fear syndrome. I have saved my money and always lived below my means, haven’t had any debt (outside a mortgage) since I was 23 or something. I have never relied on (or wanted to rely on) a man for financial support. Sigh…
The AJ situation — CLASSIC grifter as someone said above. Again, can’t understand how people can be this way! This story has a ways to go before the closing credits roll.
I’ll never get the hate on miss Lisa either. The shit some of these hw do and get away with. I surely wouldn’t want to be around people who lie, or bad mouth me. Double standards. I get not caring for a reality show person but some of this petty crap as opposed to illegal, unethical flat out nasty l just can’t. And frankly tired of LVP fans being called names. Oh boy can’t wait for this now.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH “I’m tired of LVP fans being called names.” This shows how very little you know about the calculated persona of LVP. You aren’t watching when she calls people names? Does that always just happen when you are on a bathroom break?
https://tamaratattles.com/2016/04/15/here-is-how-the-real-housewives-of-beverly-hills-works-an-abridged-history/
I love Kyle and LVP so I hope they can work it out. Those two have always kind of been in competition with each other, but I think they have/had a genuine friendship.
Weekend Tea Lite: The “enhanced” version of BD Man Overboard was very enlightening. I don’t usually watch the social or enhanced versions. This was advertised as Behind the Scenes. But it was the same show but with little info boxes. They say that production pretty much acts like documentary production “fly on the wall.” The ONLY TIME they are supposed to interact with the cast is for safety. Cameraman Brent was the only one filming that area and acted immediately yelling at the crew to get the line off the cleat. They show Brent in the water. The crew’s training hammers home that they are NOT TO JUMP IN THE WATER because that puts two lives at risk. Don’t know if Brent had that training. Ashton was not allowed to directly thank Brent until after filming. There is a bunch more info about where the crew works, eats, sleeeps, etc., not just the usual gossipy stuff..and if I see one more King of the World on the BD shows, I will have overboard. I think the producers do it to show us that very rich people are just as unimaginative and cornballity as regular folk.
What? No comments on LuAnn having drinks at Lake Bailey & then attending the Super Bowl? I’m not surprised in the least that Lu is off the wagon.
I was like define “drinks” because 99% of the time it equates to booze!
That is what caught my eye as well. I hope that she is not but honestly, I can’t imagine her staying on this show and hoping to remain sober. She would be the designated everything for all of them . Granted Carole didn’t drink a lot (I assume by their standards) but she doesn’t have an addiction for it and Lu does. I think any situations where drinking or any addiction has become this big of an issue you are not supposed to put yourself in the position of being around it until you have some heavy duty time sober under your belt. Just so sad.
I think Cynthia posted that and probably wasn’t thinking. Or I paraphrased. Lu is still sober and on probation and going to meetings.
Oh Thank God, I am so happy to hear that. I really would hate to see her slide and hope that she can handle the stress of all that drinking around her. I don’t know why but she just has me rooting for her no matter what.
That Kyle is a big trouble maker. LVP skyped into the shower and was talking with Andy for some time. I heard it on the radio during the shower. LVP She also dropped off gifts before she left for Las Vegas. Bethanny was in town in Venice and didn’t bother coming to the shower even though her appearance was not during this time but you don’t here Kyle mention that about her friend. Who cares if LVP talked to the press or not about Dorit. She put a dog in danger and it ended up in a high kill shelter so she did a public service to educate people about returning dogs to rescue. I of course, like LVP she is the only classy looking one of the bunch and she is the most beautiful of all the housewives I have seen.
Pretty much nothing in this comment is true. Just say you are an LVP fan.
Funny, I was trying to figure out how to spell that. Thanks can I borrow it ? Like to use it for my husband. Yah I see the snark and no there isn’t a halo over her head, but still…… But really gotcha. It’s funny, I mostly agree on your outlooks except one, huh. I do my best reading in bathroom since half my life is there. Anywho. Too bad we don’t tar and feather any more, no one is more deserving than A.j. she is scary and I hope katherine does have some security. Her behavior seems to be escalating (aj)
That picture of T-Rav and Ashley’s legs oogs me out.
I did see text messages & dm’s posted by one of Ashley’s minions where she exposes a lot of this girl, Lara’s, medical history. Plus pictures of her prescription meds, w/her address blacked out. They basically attacked her in the same way they attack anyone. I also saw a pic of her in Mexico were a mans leg was just visible on the towel next to her on the left. She did that intentionally, obviously, as we all know, TR can not leave SC. I still have the pic in my dm.
Do I see in the above picture that Andy seems to be (in some small way) showing he’s happy to be with the other three?
Is Kathryn sober?
Are you?
Bless your little heart. Even if that question is rude. I grew up in the 80’s and I did enough living for both of us. These days i hardly drink at all. I ask because sober people don’t usually put themselves in situations that Katherine seems to be in. A lot. I see her IG and it makes me wonder.
It’s a perfectly valid question.
We’re just a bit overprotective of Kathryn in here sometimes.
No, it’s not. I’m not a public figure. I like Kathryn too, thus the concern. You can answer my question or not but you don’t have to be unkind.
I meant YOUR question about Kathryn was a perfectly valid question, silly. I was sticking up for you not being unkind. You would know if I was being unkind. 🙂
I was just explaining why no one was answering the question.
