90 Day Fiancé
Ashley Martson and Jay Smith from 90 Day Fiancé have had the Instagram crowd fired up lately. These two are scammers but not in the way you might think. First of all, they are now claiming they were always together. The stories about who cheated change from: Option 1, Jay never cheated on Tinder. It was all made up for TV. Option 2, Ashley actually did cheat. Option 3, Nobody cheated. And Option 4 is the one that they appear to be sticking with, Jay did “cheat” on Tinder but Ashley forgave him. They claim that 90 Day Fiancé producers insisted on the storyline that she breaks up with Jay. The cheating scenes were in the finale so how much time did they actually have to fake it? A couple hours? The only faking it occurred on the Tell All Show.
Oh and they were leaking their own stories on some bogus Instagram account while blaming others and claiming they were pursuing legal action. That was discovered when Jay accidentally posted from it as himself. This cause their followers head to explode and called into question her serious medical issue that required a Go Fund Me account. She claims her illness was validated by GFM but she is returning the $3K to shut up the haters. The lovely couple filmed “90 Days Happily Ever After” and then quit the show. Um, what on earth would they have filmed after that anyway?
Southern Charm
The custody fight between Thomas Ravenel and Kathryn Dennis continues to escalate. Kathryn Dennis is begging the judge to seal the court records. I do not understand why all child custody cases are not sealed South Carolina in the first place? The fact that they are on Southern Charm should not be a case not to seal the documents. It’s about the kids having access to a lot of shit tossing when they are old enough to read the Internet.
Thomas’ own witnesses are going to be detrimental to his case. I don’t know what is going on with his attorney but she (I think) is either some sort of idiot, she believes some whimsical story that Thomas is spinning, or she is just taking the money for all of the self-sabotaging things he is doing and is laughing her way to the bank.
I am not going to detail what he is doing here because I don’t want to encourage him to rethink, or think about it for the first time. Let’s just say we thought the Uber request was absurd and that now seems sane. Kathryn‘s request for the case to be sealed is for the sake of not just the kids but some of his other victims. Does he not think he has a criminal trial coming up?
Thomas Ravenel and Ashley Jacob
Thomas Ravenel has deleted his social media again since I began this post on Friday. Perhaps it at his criminal lawyer’s suggestion. I can’t believe he has to be told to stay off social media and stop being such a dick when he is facing criminal charges.
Meanwhile, there are unsubstantiated rumors that Thomas Ravenel moved Ashley Jacobs into the guest house where he used to live in Charleston after being tossed to the curb by her last roommate. Some people believe that Thomas sold that property to an LLC that he owns to hide assets. I have not been able to determine current ownership of that house and haven’t really tried to. My sources on the ground claim to know two people who have gone to the house and have declared it and the guest house empty. But they don’t seem too confident in those sources. So who knows. The last thing that I can verify through sources is that Ashley went back to California with boxes of her belongings since being thrown out of her last residence. UPDATE! I HAVE HEARD... that Thomas has shipped Ashley’s car to California. I presume she was expecting it, but with Thomas, you never know.
Real Housewives of Potomac
The reason I did not report this story is because I I barely remember Katie Rost or first season of RHOP. I have heard things over the years. She is divorced from Dr James Orsini with whom she has three children. A family court judge stripped her of all custody of her children and eventually gave her limited supervised visits. Apparently, she did not attend the supervised visits. I cannot attest to much of this as this is not my wheel house.
That is her new man in the photo above. The oddball scaling is from the IG, perhaps photoshop gone wrong. They announced that they were expecting a child last November. I’ve read numerous stories about Katie’s erratic behavior years now. I’m not sure if she has mental health issues or addiction issues or both. But, she is very clearly unwell and unfit to parent at this point. She has posted video of her ex-husband being verbally abusive in a bar. He’s clearly a dick. And she’s posted audio of Dr. Jamese Orsini Sr. begging her not to press charges on his son or he would lose his medical license.
Things Got Weirder
Then, she posted a naked photo of herself on the bathroom floor by the toilet. The toilet seat was removed and on the floor. She later claimed she had a miscarriage and someone took the photo of her. She’s a mess. She is posting false sponsorship tags on IG of things like MeToo and random things she is not a spokesperson for. So of course Katie has been invited to return to Real Housewives of Potomac next season. I am not kidding. Warning: Clicking this link to Katie’s IG may send you down a rabbit hole where you will lose hours of your life.
Real Housewives of New York
Lee Radziwill passed away. She was 85. Lee Radiwill would be appalled to see the report by TMZ and other large sites. She is mentioned as Jackie O’s sister in the first sentence. The second sentence is about “Carole Radziwill of Real Housewives of New York” being her former daughter in law. How tragic.
Marysol Patton and Alexia Echevarria, Jill Zarin , Ramona Singer and Bethenny Frankel all went to see Luann de Lessep’s cabaret show in Miami this weekend. Bethenny seemed to be there strictly to support Lu and did not sit with the other housewives unless she was with Ramona. Ramona stayed backstage and at one point ran onto the stage to dance with Lu. Marysol, and Alexia seemed to be there with Jill.
The show was held at the sold out Fillmore Miami Beach. There was a huge red carpet were some of the the housewives posed for the fans and photographers. The seated theater capacity at the Fillmore is 2,462, and the venue can fit up to 2,713 at a reception. In addition, the orchestra pit can fit 392 people. Luann sang a lot of songs and played the bongos. Let’s hope she also went to a couple AA meetings and took a random sobriety test. It actually looked like a great show. The RHONY taglines are out. I may or may not post about that later. I’ll probably wait for the trailer. The trailer may also be out, I haven’t had time to check.
RHOC
EXCLUSIVE
Also on Saturday, February 16th Vicki Gunvalson posted a video on her Instagram thanking Evolution for the flowers she received. She also informed us that it was the day of shooting season fourteen with Steve Lodge. It looks like Vicki has accepted the lowball offer from Evolution or some sort of compromise was made. I am working on this post on Saturday for a Sunday post time. I have reached out to my exclusive sources for comments. My source has confirmed that Vicki accepted the lower salary and will likely be part-time as well. It is always possible she could have an interesting season and be in every episode. She would be fulltime then with a pay cut. Production wants to film an engagement and a wedding so she may be there for two more seasons. This may give her more leverage regarding her orange. She was not making that much money considering her seniority. I think they are doing her dirty.
UPDATEI had a photo expert take a look at the card. (What? I wanted to know! And clearly she wanted us to see it!) It reads. “You’ll always be our OG Housewife, Much Love, Doug and Alex.” Doug and Alex are the head honchos at Evolution.
Kelly Dodd Responds To Vicki Filming
Gina Kerschenheiter has apparently teamed up with Kelly Dodd as they posted a video together both drunk as hell and high apparently as there is a bag of weed on the table where they are sitting. They were yukking it up about filming a truffle hunt today with VIcki and calling her a pig. Gina may get another DUI on her way home tonight. I will check for any reports of her wrecking her car or getting arrested before posting this. I guess I am not going to like second season Gina.
It seems like after everyone else left, Kelly and Gina got high and watched old episodes of RHOOC. Particularly the scene from Shannon’s party where she looked like Mrs Roper and David got in Vicki’s face and Michael got in Shannon’s face. Oddly Vicki and Kelly were on the same side and left the party together pissed off at Shannon. Back in real time, Kelly repeatedly called Vicki a pig and she and Gina both laughed hysterically. It was pretty nasty for off camera behavior. According to these two, the first all cast shoot of the season was a truffle hunt. I’m not sure if that was a joke to go along with their constantly calling her a pig, or if they were constantly calling her a pig because they spent the day at a truffle hunt.
Vanderpump Rules
On Sunday?! February 17th Family Feud is filming a celebrity show with Vanderpump Rules competing against Chrissy and John Legend’s family. I presume her mother will be on the team plus two others. The Vanderpump Rules team will be led by Lisa Vanderpump and Tom Sandoval, Ariana Madix,Tom Schwartz and Katie Schwartz
Teen Mom 2
Jenelle Evans Eason posted on Facebook today (February 16) a photo with the caption, “SINGLE AF!” Also, some sites claim she changed her relationship status to “separated.” I can’t find anything about her relationship status on Facebook. All I see is her public figure page. It has the same stuff as her Twitter page with regard to postings. She has taken the Facebook post down, but has not posted her usual “Ha ha ha just kidding, he was really pissing me off today” sort of excuse.
Jenelle and David do this a lot and have clearly been fighting. But what makes this more interesting and gives it a slight bit more credibility is that there were no “Look and me and my husband!” Valentine’s Day photos or even comments this year. I’d like to believe this is the end of their marriage, but she does this all the time. Divorce will be a financial nightmare for Jenelle as she put David’s name on the title with hers and it is rumored she does not have a prenup.
Who?
Yolanda Hadid is back hanging out with The Weekend again. She videoed him singing about girls “slobbing on his knob” and posted it on Instagram. Can you imagine if that was your mother and the guy whose knob you were slobbing did that? Do people have no shame anymore?
Thanks for the scoop! Any chance Vicki has a stellar season and is holding an orange?
Well is Kelly and Gina keep treating her like shit, maybe so! They are basically handing her a storyline with their nastiness.
Excellent! Although I’m disgusted by their behavior.
” Do people have no shame anymore.?”
Not the ones thirsty for fame and attention.
I don’t know if I want to see Katie exploited on Real Housewives of Potomac if she is ill or fighting addiction. I prefer it when the Real Housewives franchise keeps it light and fun.
If Bravo legal had any sense, they would NOT bring her back. But… they love people in bad circumstances, so…
No big surprise… Vicki will take any offer to keep tooling around here in her big white Bentley. Also, that high rent office at Irvine Spectrum area is pretty high rent even for her insurance business.
I didn’t know Yolanda could be more disgusting. I stand corrected.
I agree 100%. Yolanda always used to portray herself as this high-class lady, especially when she was married to David Foster. I can’t believe she’d be okay with being around The Weekend, let alone listen to any comments about “knob slobbing”. Grossness aside, isn’t that a little too close to home? How supremely unclassy is that? Then she posts it on IG? It seems to me as though she’s desperately trying to hold on to her youth. Well, sorry Yolanda, but that horse already left the barn.
The whole world seems upside down lately.
I feel Ashley Jacobs has only been shipped out to California temporarily by Thomas Ravenel while the custody case is heard. One of Ashley’s firm fans, Lindsay Hall9603 recently posted a screenshot of Ashley writing to a fan on IG that her move to California was only “temporary”. – alongside a typed piece of writing by someone saying Ashley had been seen at the airport heading home to her family.
That makes the most sense because she seems to be holding on to Thomas for dear life.
Please don’t dampen my spirits by suggesting Ashley’s not gone for good. Let me believe at least for a little while that she has exited the great state of South Carolina permanently.
I don’t think we have seen the last of her. I fully expect her to testify in all of Thomas’ open cases.
So do I. I think he will in some way try to make use of her nursing training in her comments and as a “character” reference, even though her actual experience seems awfully thin, and not with children or addiction services.
The thought that Ashley would could be held up as a “character witness” made me LOL. Thomas would really have to be dragging the bottom of the bucket for that one! I can’t believe any Attorney would go along with that one!
All indications point to the custody attorney being a joke. The criminal attorney is allegedly losing his/her mind over how badly the child custody hearing is going to impact the criminal one. Ravenel is driving his car over the cliff and I could not be more pleased.
I know. But Thomas always seems to feel most people are dumb enough to believe any story he dishes up. I so hope it all blows up in his face this time.
This is interesting. She will testify. Hmmm….
I remember Katie of RHOP. Wasn’t she the arrogant one who had to one up another wife about some charity event that She (Katie) could have done much better? And she had a boyfriend/fiance that she was pressuring to marry her. Yuck!
I may be unpopular here but I was rooting for Vicki to be off of the show. She’s been an obnoxious bore since even before Brooks and cancer gate. Some of the things that she says are inexcusable. She appeared to be mean to her husband Don. Supposedly working constantly and then complaining that her love tank wasn’t filled. Gag me.
And she spent all last season trying to push her boyfriend into proposing to her. Is it really that complementary if you have to force someone to propose to you?
When I read about Yolanda I wondered the same thing about my elderly mother doing that. But then my mother isn’t desperate to be accepted and appear young and cool. Didn’t I hear that Yolanda’s menopause, I mean Lyme disease, came back?
I feel the OC needs a cast overhaul, but I didn’t like the way Vicki was ghosted basically. She is the OG, so I’m glad she got some type of compromise. Despite some of her unsavory actions she seems like a loving family matriarch. Kelli Dodd is a horrible person and I can only hope everything catches up to her. I used to love her, but her behavior has gotten worse. Katie she had issues towards the end of filming her season of Potomac, it seems she had addiction and mental issues. I don’t like the videos of her ex, I’ve known people who do that and somehow the person recording always comes out as a saint. The photo of her bleeding on the floor OMG! She’s pretty far along in her pregnancy. At least 4 months, that’s just awful. I hope TRav keeps digging that hole deeper. Thanks for all the tidbits TT!
I always feel sooooo stupid when I’m duped by “reality” shows. 90 day fiancé has been my fave for a while because I thought there was NO way people would get in this mess for 15 min of fame. When will I learn!?
RHONY taglines are out!
I really should have made headers to make it easier to find the shows you are interested in and mentioned that in the post… oh wait…
I can definitely agree production has done her (Vicki oc) dirty on pay, but I also might dislike her for life re cancer scam and feel she should have been dropped for it. Plenty of entertaining women to replace her in the area, surely? I actually really liked when Meghan was on and her production cues to go after the scam but I remember also how uncomfortable and aggressive Vicki towards her and scam plus that was part of reason why I stopped watching, there was no entertainment value in it to me. The Pig names though to me are unacceptable. No matter how wronged you’ve been you don’t attack a person’s looks (my feelings on the subject, accept I’m not an authority)
LOVED Southern Charm and remember dolphin actually encouraging Katherine to not return to Thomas from jeckles island even in the interview where she said it reminded her of her ex husband and saying Kathryn should stay and have fun, but ohhhh boy was I wrong about her intentions. Had dolphin not been so apparent later on in her undermining and petty schemes I probably still would have been rooting for her to win and get back on her feet. Before Thomas’ character was revealed (allegedly?) it always made me uncomfortable how dismissive Shep was about what Kathryn was enduring with and made me wonder if he has some things to hide too. Always seems like there’s a level of anger in him just bubbling under the surface but no one else I know agrees with me and thinks he’s the lovable labrador of the show. It looked wrong to me from the start but possibly because I’ve had an older man (ex husband) gaslight me like what it appears Thomas did tonher so I’ve always sympathised with her and hope her recovery is going strong. I know that feeling of wanting to scream because lies are being presented as truths and vice versa. I’ve never had a substance issue so my heart aches for her even more.
Katie from RHOP worries me and the thought of her going back on the show and what that could do to aggravate her possible mental health issues is concerning to me. At some point I would have thought production would have a duty of care to prevent her doing something dangerous to herself or someone else?
Anyway will try not to write essays in the future just loved all the bits. Tamara I think you should get a book published called “allegedly” with a chapter “loosely” based on each show you recap. Or just s book in general!
I like that book idea. Maybe you could sell the title to Jussie Smollett.
??
Kelly and Gina’s behavior is beyond reprehensible. Is this something new where the cast tries to cause a divide on social media before the season even starts?
It right up there with getting dirt publish in the tabloids about fellow cast mates. 🙂
I guess! But if Bravo is aiming for a younger audience, then this seems like the way to go. Tabloids are kinda obsolete lately, but I can still appreciate the dig at LVP. If only Dorito could understand the contract. Maybe a translator could have helped her ?
Haha!! I adore you TT!!
Katie was my favorite on RHOP! I’m sad to hear of the addiction and custody issues. Looking back, the mental health issues make sense. I thought she was just pampered and clueless, but it can be argued that she had an altered view of reality most of the time. My favorite part was when she renovated her boyfriend’s condo while he was away to make more space for herself and got rid of some of his items.
I hope Vicki blows Kellly away this season. Used to like Kelly but she acts like she’s 12 with the constant name calling.
Is Steve really going to propose to Vicki, or did she just order him to do that for the show?
It seems like he leads a nice life with her, they are always traveling to Cabo, Bahamas, Greece etc.
Still, it didn’t seem like he wanted to really marry her. Just to protect her kids, she better get a prenup.
Re: Carol the former wife of Anthony. You are incorrect.
It would have been more correct to say, ” her late son’s widow”. Carolyn will be that until the day she dies, she’s not a former anything where Anthony or Lee Radzowill were concerned. They were married, and stayed married until his untimely death.
Plus, that was TMZ’s statement, not Tamara’s.
Plus, that quote was from TMZ, not Tamara.
*Radziwill
When your spouse dies, and the MIL didn’t really have much to do with you, Your husband’s mom is no longer your mother in law. They were married on his death bed. That is why TMZ correctly referred to her that way.
According to Carole Radziwill’s book “What Remains,” she and Anthony were married for five years. Their wedding was in August 1994 and he died in August 1999, shortly after the deaths of JFK Jr, his wife Carolyn Bessette & her sister Lauren. For anyone who hasn’t read the book, it’s interesting, well written and very poignant.
Carole has now written, i.e. “sold” an essay to the Daily Mail complete with family pictures entitled “Lee and Me”
Well of course she has. It’s amazing how she can get something written when it draws attention to her.
I read the book Carole wrote he was diagnosed right before the wedding but they had quite a bit of time together before he actually died. Couple of years if I’m not mistaken. Not exactly on his deathbed.
ADMIN EDIT: PLEASE READ THE COMMENTING RULES BEFORE POSTING.
TT. great job on this round up. I
Follow many of these stories and they ain’t easy to summarize. Good work. Even bettern usu
Thanks. I appreciate the acknowledgement.I started working on it on Wednesday or Thursday and it was super time consuming! The update is SUPPOSED to be a quick thing to keep you occupied on a slow weekend. lol
I figured. And even Weds for all this BS is a m a z i n g.
Great job with recap TT. I was hoping Vickie was canned because she really bothers me. The whole cancer scam and her getting away with it. People (myself) have been fired for so much less but I guess that’s reality tv for you. I also hated the way she would scream at the top of her lungs in people’s faces. Tamra does it too. That raises my heckles so far because that’s what abusive people do. They get right in your face and scream. I stopped watching because of them.
I barely remember Katie Post storyline but I thought her kids were from the man she was living with. I hope they don’t film her if she is struggling with mental health and/or addiction. It just gets to be too much. I want to laugh at these people not feel sorry for them.
I can’t remember the details about the father of her kids, but it wasn’t the guy she was seeing on the show.
I am watching S21 Ep7 of Chooped right now. Fatima is on it as a returning champion. Seeing her look so young and healthy is ?. She had so much more to offer as a chef and a role model/mentor for Pakistani women, or ANY woman wanting to become a chef.
