At Bravocon, there were occasions when lots of cast members and production went out to dinner. It was a mix from different shows. This guy needs better entertainment attorney but clearly can’t afford one. It was all off camera so you would think that people would have been way more civilized than usual. BUT NOE.
One male reality show participate started asking everyone how much they got paid per episode. Who does that!? And a production member was at the table! He must not have noticed because after all he is the star of the show!!
The best part of this story I was told was he seems to think everyone on his cast gets paid the same. The real, real best part of his story is all the females make more than he does. And the one who gets paid the most is not who anyone would guess.
Also the people at the table who rake in the bucks, including one who has an MFN in Atlanta (not RHOA), just ignored the whole conversation. It was very unsettling for some diners. But he is so full of himself, he was oblivious. It was also kind of hilarious. Because a member of his production team was at the table, and Tamara Tattles is not even sure if he realized that.
I love when people don’t even have enough self awareness to be embarrassed. This will be a great season. IF IT EVER GETS AN AIR DATE AT ALL. I mean it has to, right? But WTF is the hold up, it’s been in the can for a while now..
What does MFN stand for?
Most Favored Nation. It’s not Nene who does have MFN in Atl on RHOA, so it has to be someone one Married to Medicine that was ignoring the conversation with our blind character.
*on
Thank you!
It was Kim Z Biermann
Reza Farahan strikes again.
MFN = Most Favored Nation. Does Dr. Jackie hold that status for M2M? She seems classy & I could see her not engaging in such a tacky discussion.
Might be Mike? He seemed a little out of it up on stage during the wwhl. Definitely Shahs of Sunset though.
Reza thinks he’s the star of his show. On another note, I hope GG is the highest paid. She’s been given the bad edit more than of the others.
I’m guessing the other non-RHOA person from Atlanta with an MFN contract is Kim Z-B. I recall a post where TT mentioned that Kim and Nene have the same entertainment lawyer (or agent?) who negotiates their Bravo contracts.
As for Dr. Jackie, I used to think she was classy. After last week’s episode, she exposed herself as a someone who appears to care more about manufacturing fake drama on a reality show than their professional integrity as a Medical Doctor. What MD agrees to do a scene where she outs another woman as “infertile” in front of a large group of people, many of them strangers? I’m sure they all sign legal releases saying their personal info can be shared on-air, but the optics/appearance of the scene was that Dr. Jackie disclosed someone’s personal medical condition without their express permission. Even if that scene was staged by production, Jackie as a practicing MD should not have agreed to do it.
TT tells us Bravo doesn’t care if we get mad at their shows, only that we watch. I’ve taken TT’s advice and removed M2M from my DVR after that disgusting scene with Dr. Jackie last week.
Sorry for the rant. There was no M2M recap this week, and had to vent about how upsetting that scene was for me.
Totally agree with you about Jackie’s indiscretion over announcing Buffy’s inability to conceive. I too used to believe she was classy, but this season had been an eye-opener as far as that is concerned. I wonder if Buffy has made a complaint to the American Medical Association. If I were Buffy, I sure would have made noise it.
To clarify, TT didn’t advise me to delete M2M from my DVR! ? I’ve decided to no longer watch it vs. continuing to watch and complain about it.
POP CULTURE KELLY had a health issue this week. If she is up to it, we will have a recap this week, if not she should be back next week.
Good to know. I hope she feels better soon! I miss those lively recaps. Get well, POP CULTURE KELLY.
I don’t watch M2M but kinda know what’s going on through recaps. I just happened to watch this episode. It’s stunning Jackie outed that woman. If I were her patient, I’d be finding another MD. It was so uncomfortable to watch
Thanks for answering my question!
That was my thought exactly. Dr. Jackie seems to get plenty of airtime on Bravo and is skilled in bedside manner, like intentionally ignoring people.
Did Rezas shampoo & conditioner ever hit store shelves ? I forgot all albout till now. Can’t stand Reza
Believe it or not, I actually saw it on the shelves at Sally’s last week. (I live in New England.) I was surprised because I figured it was just a story line. Not sure how much it was, but there were maybe 3 or 4 products and they were crammed in between other product lines on the very bottom shelf.
It’s Jax y’all. He’s the “number one guy in his group “.
Oops. Can you delete my post. I didn’t see the entire description. My bad! Thanks.
It’s gotta be Mike or Reza.
I think this is Austin or Shep from Southern Charm?
Why?
My thought too it’s Shep. He’s so conceited I can visualize his shocked face when thry tell him even Naomie gets higher pay! ?
I agree. The comment about if it ever airs.
Maybe it was my parents, maybe it’s a Protestant thing, I don’t know but my parents were very strict about many things and talking about income was one of the subjects not to be asked about, ever.
Honestly, I think there are faults and cracks in my train of thoughts now…there are huge unfair wage discrepancies. I honestly have only worked where there’s a pay “grade”, except the one job I had for an insurance company. Let’s just say I asked for more, they gave in the middle and after 7 years? I tapped out, literally and physically. No amount of money would have kept me there, and they tried, it’s a dark part of my history.
I think it was very intentional propaganda to shape the public into not discussing/questioning income wherein it became societally frowned upon. If employees, friends, and family aren’t open about what they’re making, then people don’t have the information to start piecing together unfair wage practices. It was obviously very effective, it took a century for the people to start to speak up and even now there is a large portion who deny wage discrepancy in favor of …advocating for billionaire corporations? I guess?
My father was protestent mother Roman catholic. (Now witch because of me), but was raised we do not talk about it. When I met my husband now of 12 years I was was floored and angry when I heard him telling the kids our “personal financial” information. For 3 reasons.
1. His ex wife would pump the kids for any information on us. And I didnt want her knowing.
2. I was raised kids didnt need to know.. They didnt need to know because they didnt need the added stress added to them all they needed to know was they had what they needed. Also they didnt live with us full time. So what buisness was it of theirs to know at that time. They were 8 and 10.
3rd it mad me very uncomfortable. When i met my husband i was just ending my career as a nurse due to a non fixable physical illness. Even now plagued with it. I didnt want them thinking I wasn’t contributing or never did.
12 years now I havnt worked. But I get ssi. Not alot and not what I was making nursing. But my step son sees me as worthless and lazy because I dont contribute. Hell most days getting out of bed is a chore. But I look fine so he doesnt see why I cant work. Which if my husband hadn’t told him all those years ago he wouldnt think that way now. My step daughter does not now, because she lives with us now at 25. But she helps out. Too. She understands. He wont.
When I was in nursing in 90s-early 2007 I never noticed a wage gap. But I made top dollar too. I was well saught after for my skills. (End of life). Death did not bother me. I took extreme.care of my patients and treated them with upmost respect till their last breath. Even after in death I took care of them. I was gentle and took my time with them so they were presentablw to family
Many people asked i be there when their family member was passing. Because they knew this. I also made sure to take care of the family as well. Get them water coffee etc. Chairs .. That’s what makes your pay. How you do your job. How you treat you client. How you treat their family. How you respect your position and those around you helping you.
Catholic raised in the northeast and we never talked about money growing up and still don’t. When filling out FAFSA for my kids, I do not allow them to fill out the part regarding parent income. I do not think they need to know.
We have friends that brag about money and they tend to be the ones that seem to never have it.
My parents REFUSED to fill out the FAFSA
Since Reza was the divo who was bitchin about his hotel, I assume this one is him also.
Although, I have to say, for both I immediately thought Jax. He seems like such a DB. Maybe his better IRL?
I immediately thought of Jax, because, Jax. But Reza is for sure the bigger divo.
I think it’s either Jax or Shep. I’m usually wrong though, so just ignore me. ?
Perhaps it’s Mike Shouhed from Shahs??
Definitely Shahs of Sunset since it’s been in the can for a while. Just not sure if it’s Reza or Mike??? I wish they would just release it already.
I thought it was Kyle. But that can’t be. Hmmm.
I’m trying to guess was the MFN. Kyle or Vicki. I’m going with Reza as the lack of manners (can you imagine asking especially when everyone has contracts and attorneys and wheeling and dealing, asking that!!!! Lol)
It’s so rude.
I doubt Kyle cares how much anyone else makes for RH. She has more money than she can use and doesn’t seem like a greedy person. Vicki is the same, rolling in money. But she seems to have a much bigger ego!
I imagine with this bunch, it’s ego, bragging rights, not $.
I’m going with Shep on this – can see him drunk at the table and asking how much everyone makes. I think the female cast member making the most is either Cameran or Chelsea, not Kathryn.
bingo!
I’m also going to guess shep or Austen, although leaning toward Austin. Shep surely was brought up to know better but if he was wasted can see him doing that. Both of them have zero self awareness and act like assholes on and off camera. But the part that makes me think it’s Austen is “needs a better entertainment lawyer but clearly can’t afford one.”
And I’m guessing the highest paid female is Patricia.
Please excuse my entire cluster of comments on this topic. I clearly don’t have a clue what I am talking about lol!!!
If it’s been in the can, I think that leaves Don’t Be Tardy and Shahs. Only Shahs is a true ensemble cast. So I guess Mike or Reza. Reza doesn’t seem to be hurting for money to hire an entertainment lawyer, so that leaves Mike.
There is a “new” WWHL . airing at 2am. Friday PST. I put quotes because it sounds like a repeat of the Bravocon WWHL with 13 extra “never seen” minutes. Bravo knows many of use set our DVRs to Record new episodes only.
On Wendy Williams Friday, Countess LuAnn is scheduled to appear. The impeachment hearings have disrupted the WW seed, so it may not happen.
Geez I saw hot topics and Ask Wendy. I thought I spaced out reading comments in between, lol. My memory is beginning to be a big fat zero, often.
I forgot to watch LuAnne, and apparently she wasn’t even there, geez!!!!
Ooh I’ll be watching, luckily my town doesn’t care about the hearings and WW hasn’t been interrupted, lol!! Well just fox anyway. I’m sure she’ll be talking about how grand life is off probation.
I think she’s on tomorrow, lol. I thought today was Friday!!!
OMG. Worse than I thought.
Omgosh, I texted my son have a great Friday, lol. Geez that kid loves me, lol. Didn’t even trade me about it. 🙂
In all fairness, I actually texted ” have a fun fu**intastic
Friday. Lol. (Like that, he’s 23),
Didn’t tease me or realize it wasn’t Friday, that is my boy, lol.
Write to my email if you still want the braNo logo. I am doing one for Sunday’s RHOA too.
Nanette, how do I email you? I’d love a logo, thank you.
Out of curiosity, what city do you live in?
Reza’s lacks sufficient couth to make him a likely suspect
Female who gets paid the most = Gigi
I am guessing the spelling of No in the first paragraph (NOE) is a clue. ?It is a Hebrew word, and Mike is Jewish. My guess is Mike from Shahs?
I love when Tamara uses NOE, but didn’t know it was Jewish. I learn the most random good things here.
I didn’t know it was Jewish either. I just use it when No doesn’t seem strong enough. 🙂
I don’t particularly like Reza, but I love that he said the quiet part out loud! Knowledge is power, that’s why employers hate people talking about what they are paid.
MGN = money for nothing
