The RHONJ recap is done and all of them are safely back home. Let’s see if the RHOD recap can have a happy ending as well. I mean, they are in the right part of Bangkok for happy endings! Sadly, they all fled way before the happy endings part. Kameron dared to leave first with Kary and flee in a taxi with the enemy. She returns to her room to a ranting Leeanne. LeeAnne claims she is upset about the sex industry in Bangkok. She could care less about that. Her real problem is that Kameron is colluding with the enemy. The MEXICAN enemy.
Poor Kameron has no idea why Luann is screaming at her. She’s her biggest ally in the group. Kameron stammers around about butt darts and such in her defense of participating in the sex worker industry. She is out of her depth and unsure what the hell is happening and why she is trapped alone with a raging LeeAnne.
Crocodile Tears
Kameron asked why she went if she didn’t want to go. LeeAnne says she went because everyone else was going. Didn’t she ever get the lecture about everyone else jumping off a cliff? Also, I tried to educate a few people last week about racism and why LeeAnne is not a racist. But she sure seems to hate Mexicans. This is a common sentiment for many people in border states. Not a nice one. But a common one.

Kameron is flabbergasted that anyone would yell at her in this way. Now LeeAnne is saying so only went to watch after Kameron in a bad part of town. Oh please. Now she is fake crying about protecting everyone. We see you LeeAnne. Then she starts worrying about Kameron’s reputation in Dallas. And of course what all of her “high society” friends with think about this. And then she is back on the Mexican rant. I wonder what that will do for her reputation back in Dallas? What will her dick sucking friends at The Round Up have to say about that? My panty liner is exhausted and we are only three minutes and four hundred words in.
It’s A New Day!
At breakfast we find out from D’Andra (and a flashback) that Leeanne really freaked Kameron out about her reputation in Dallas. She’s worried her trip to the red light district will cause tongues to wag. Um, so to speak. Kameron went to her room and cried.

Travis showed up to Stephanie and Brandi’s room and said he still hasn’t heard from his father. The next day Stephanie and Travis will fly to Vietnam to look for him. This doesn’t sound good.
LeeAnne goes for a Thai massage in the hotel spa and tells us how triggered she was about the red light district. She is making it all about her again. Kameron says she was crying and said she was going to stay in the room and watch cartoons. YAY! Now maybe be can get back to Thailand! Kameron, Kary and D’Andra got jewelry shopping at a local market. Brandi and Stephanie are going to have a pool day. As Kameron says, they are in Thailand! They can lie by the pool any day! Kameron also decides not to tell Kary about all the anti-Mexican slurs LeeAnne was using the previous night. Smart move.
A Little Romance
Meanwhile, back at the hotel, Stephanie has asked that a very romantic set up be placed by the pool. This makes sense. Her hubby has finally joined her. Oddly, it’s not for Travis, it’s for Stephanie and Brandi. And it’s just weird. And in public. People are staring. Other people are just trying to get some laps in. It’s season one ridiculous. But at least it’s not LeeAnne.

Stephanie blindfolds Brandi and walks here through the pool area and feeds he chocolate covered strawberries and bananas. Is this normal? Because I find it quite odd.
It’s Dinnertime You Know What That Means…
And I really don’t want to rehash all of this drama again. We get it. Vaginas. Ping pong balls. Sex workers. Bad childhoods. You are in a very expensive restaurant with gorgeous views of Thailand! For fucksake! Just STOP! Everyone orders very fancy cocktails. Except Brandi who asks for a Vodka and Red Bull like she was at the goat rodeo.
Kary calls out LeeAnne trying to manipulate Kameron to feel bad for being friends with her. LeeAnne starts snapping her fingers at Kary telling her to listen. I am so tired of LeeAnne ruining all of these trips. I presume she is going to regale us with stories of her abusive childhood before the entrees even hit the table.
On To the Death Threats
Can we talk about Kameron’s poor choice in interview looks this episode. LeeAnne randomly asks D’Andra if she would like to just “go thrown down on the roof?” Because LeeAnne would be happy too. D’Andra replies she would just throw LeeAnne off the roof. And I mean at this point who could blame her? LeeAnne replies, “Please try. Because you have already pushed me once.” D’Andra says LeeAnne is full of shit.”

Kameron seems to be sticking up of LeeAnne again. Apparently, all is forgiven. Brandi says that LeeAnne makes every experience about her childhood. This is true. She brings up the elephants as another example. Everything is a negative trigger for LeeAnne. EVERYTHING.
And A Walk Off
LeeAnne asks if everyone would like to raise hands and have her leave the table so they could enjoy their dinner. I AM RAISING MY HAND! D’Andra points out that LeeAnne is STILL playing the victim! She just doesn’t get it. At this point my panty liner is dead. So is Brandi’s because she leaves the dinner. She’s had all she can take. Kary and Stephanie follow her out. Stephanie tells them she is in a really awkward position because she is the hostess. She has to go back.
Brandi and Kary have beers at the roof top bar. I get this. It is really hot in Thailand. Brandi explains to Kary that LeeAnne saying that something someone did is going to ruin their reputation is straight out of chapter one of LeeAnne’s playbook.
Oh look, the entrees have arrived and there are only four people left. LeeAnne is crying at the table. Stephanie says she is really tired, but she is glad LeeAnne and Kameron made up. Kameron says they actually made up last night. Things just got brought up again at dinner. LeeAnne leaves crying. Brandi and Kary’s entrees are still under a cloche. Kameron is not going to let those fabulous meals goes to waste. She tells Stephanie to pass them to her I love Kam! Stephanie and D’Andra leave. And Kam stays to enjoy all the fancy meals and drinks alone. I would so do that and be very happy.
Same As It Ever Was…
Twenty minutes later, Kam goes back to the suite she shares with LeeAnne. Leanne gets up and slams the door to her bedroom in her face. WHAT NOW? Kam defended your shitty behavior all night? LeeAnne finally opens the door and her room looks like my house. I have anxiety and depression and no one comes in my house so I am not motivated to clean it. But when I travel, I would DIE if I left my room looking like that. Especially in such a nice hotel. They wouldn’t even be able to find a pillow to leave a chocolate on in that mess!

LeeAnne is worried that Kameron is going to want to sit next to Kary on the 28 hour flight. I’d rather sit next to a box of rattlesnakes than LeeAnne.
Next week is the finale. It looks like it will be about LeeAnne’s anti- Mexican comments. She will be called a racist. They just filmed the reunion so that seems like a quick turn around. Oh, the two weeks after that are Christmas and New Years. That makes sense. Time flies!
Andy seemed very pissed about Leanne’s racist comments on wwhl. He said they spend 90 minutes taking about it addy the reunion. Won’t be shocked if she’s not back next season. She statement on social media was to little, too late. Everyone is over her. She ruined ever trip and get together this season with her “triggers”.
Leeanne really needs to stop referring to Kary as “Mexican” this and “Mexican” that. Bitch needs to watch her words cause she’s coming off really racist at this point.
The mexican stuff is rediculous and I’m tired of her threats about Dallas society. She needs to get over her past already since I’m with everyone else and tired of it. I’m not sure how she can’t see is messed up. I know she can be clueless but really it’s just downright scary.
Also I cannot wait for Cho’s take on survivor tonight!
The endless negative flashbacks to LeeAnne’s “tragic” childhood are exhausting to me as a viewer. I could not imagine having to be around it as a “friend” who has to film with her. She wears it like a badge of honor and uses it to garner sympathy and attention. It wears me out and makes me want to check out from this show even though I really enjoy the other ladies.
Wow, I have NEVER seen Andy as pissed as he was tonight on WWHL discussing LeeAnne’s slurs. She’s toast. There’s good TV then there’s the line, and she’s crossed it. I don’t like Kary and shes not a good fit for the show but she didn’t deserve that.
The irony it coming from that man but I’m glad someone is calling her out. I understand what TT is saying about LeeAnne not being a racist because of Mexican not being a race, but I’m not convinced LeeAnne knew that beforehand.
Andy was caught off guard and the look was a pissed look for the viewer, who asked the question.
I second this, Andy was pissed about the caller accusing bravo of standing behind this behavior.
Sorry not sorry if Leeanne reads here. She needs to ride off into the sunset with her new groom.
I actually got to see a lot of Thailand and am grateful to learn that I don’t have any desire to go there myself. Loved watching D’Andra and Kam actually eating the food.
The “Mexican “ comments were too much and she should know better. I wonder how much is production then I don’t care because she needs to go if I’m ever going to watch another season of Dallas. Because she is draining and exhausting and ruins everything. We don’t want to hear about that baggage every.single.episode. I don’t know how the other women deal with her. That said, new Kary is annoying af.
The tutorial from the sex shows was educational for me. Guess I’m sheltered, lol. But could have gone to my grave not knowing that.
Glad it’s almost over.
You are so right about the sex education I never knew took place at those shows. Cam’s visuals were a bight point for me this season, actually kinda like her now!
So I guess Kary from Mexico is the new Cary Round Up storyline. Leeanne can pull a Vicki and spread rumors about a spouse being gay, what the difference when she screams ‘Shes so Mexican’!. I just have a feeling she’s been warned but will still be around if they do another season. She’s at every event, even Sadoval and Ariana’s book launch party for bravo so someone had to invite her right!
Can’t wait until Andy puts Leanne and Kelly Dodd on WWHL together after the Mexican comments. Kelly will hand Leanne her ass on a platter if she doesn’t cut a bitch first.
I don’t watch WWHL, sooo y’all gotta give me a heads up when they are scheduled to appear together because I will need advanced notice to cook my popcorn!
I know I sound hypocritical since I bitch about all the HWs shows and Andrew and Bravo, but I definitely want to see that!
LeeAnne is officially on her way out it seems? I am wondering if this was in some way set up by the Cary/Kary ladies? Weren’t they friends and the first Cary introduced the second Kary to the group? And wasn’t it LeeAnne and her round up comments about Carys husband pretty borderline homophobic? And speaking of borderline, is she showing signs of BPD? I mean no disrespect to you LeeAnne because I know you read this site sometimes so if you’re reading this, please get into therapy or a better therapist because you seem unhappy when this should be the happiest time of your life! You have a great life and husband, get going and stop looking so much in the rear view mirror!
LeeAnn came off as extremely manipulative & absurd. The flow chart in every situation somehow goes bad to LeeAnn’s childhood. Ugh. ENOUGH! She needs to go to “celebrity rehab” and work through her shit! And, leave it at the door when she checks out. This Trip could have been straight up hilarious without LeeAnn’s “everything leads back to my childhood” flowchart! Being her friend must be exhausting. She is extremely dismissive of others, yet expects everyone to respect her issues at all times.
Kary’s talking head in blue sparkle dress was gorgeous! Loving Kam this trip! Definitely MVP this season! I absolutely love D’Andrea and what a straight shooter she is. And with a smile! Kam, Kary & D’Andrea are great trio. Actually, the only downer In this show is LeeAnn.
AND for my flowchart, to make it about MEEEE – made me think I need to “check myself” when I get my own triggers and not let it be about me! Ha!
I know a lot of us share here about depression & childhood molestation, but that is the difference – we SHARE stories. It’s a 2-way street. And I hope we all could let a trip to see beautiful elephants simply be about the beautiful elephants.
There’s a lot of people here I’d feel comfortable traveling with, I’ve traveled with the best and the worst lol, but still stuck to my enjoyment plan, yes if someone gets injured or ill, has a maudlin night while drinking, sure I’ll hang in there with you and try to ease any discomfort…I have dear friends and relatives that have experienced horrific childhoods, chronic and acute crippling illnesses of all kinds whom I’ve NEVER seen act like LeAnne has this season. I haven’t watched this episode yet but LeAnne is either acting for production or truly experiencing a mental breakdown. The world could be her oyster! She just married the man of her dreams in a fairytale ceremony. She is a stunningly beautiful woman. Leanne has a successful social calendar filled with charity to good causes, dogs that adore her and makes very nice money as a RHOD. To be so angry and spiteful in a foreign country on vacation? She should have flown home or just not have gone at all…I don’t get it, what am I missing?
Sooo agree with both of you. I share stuff here and bitch about stuff here to vent because I would never say half or most of the stuff in any social circle in real life. Not to mention on national tv!
She is beating a dead horse. She visibly sucks the air out of the room.She also surely makes enough from being on the show to do some actual therapy to deal with her issues. I guess it’s not a priority for her. Being the victim has worked so far for her in the way of garnering attention. I’m afraid if she doesn’t make some changes soon, her new hubs will tire of it too eventually. I’m not lacking in empathy for her as a human, but her greatest fear of being alone in the end may come to fruition if she doesn’t make some changes. She doesn’t seem very happy like ever, her anger is clearly fear based and I actually don’t think that being on the show is helping her in a positive way. I’m sure she self loathes and reading all of us and others bash her probably makes it worse on her. I honestly think she’d be better off the show for her sake as well as the viewers.
Like someone else said, if they keep Nene, they’ll keep her. She’s blowing through friends like nobody’s business by acting like a jealous pre-teen when it comes to sharing friends (like it’s a personal affront to have more than one friend—stunted maturity), and I do feel a bit sad for her. However, she’s reached the age to know better and to know that she is the only one who can make the changes needed for her own happiness and usually in the cases of trauma it’s a lot of work and takes commitment to do the hard work. I’m also not convinced that there’s a clinical diagnosis to be made and perhaps proper treatment/medication is necessary in conjunction with therapy. She’s literally her own worst enemy. As a viewer it’s painful and maddening to watch.
Sorry for the dissertation but I know someone like this close to me and see how much happier and better they are after facing their demons and getting help. It was a long road but worth it in the end. I can just see that she’s stuck in it. Sigh :/
Leanne is just not a fit for reality Tv.. Way too many issues… However Kary needs to go . She is miserable and adds nothing to the show. The camera has caught her giving nasty looks to Leanne constantly.I think this cast needs new people. The housewives series is going downhill fast,but at least we have Married to Medicine.
I finally figured out why I hate Kary. She is just nasty. Like, we get it, you don’t like Leeanne, that’s fine, but you just badmouth her all over the place.
That being said, Leeanne is way over the top with her Mexican comments. I mean wow, has no one pulled her aside and said “hey girl, comments like that won’t be well received in most of the USA, so you should stop because when you tie all of Kary’s annoying bad behavior up by focusing on her being Mexican it makes you look racist”.
I’m currently watching and I had to stop and come here and see if anyone was seeing what I was seeing, I’m glad I’m not alone. All I kept thinking is “LeeAnne, if you were so concerned about the sex workers you would of mentioned it beforehand and decided not to go and I bet more of the women would of stayed with you in solidarity.” My heart use to really go out to LeeAnne and now I loathe watching her, I literally make sure to watch everything else I’m even semi interested in on demand before I watch this and I loved me some Dallas in the past.
LeeAnne is four franchises’ worth of drama. I think she secretly hates her shit husband, but he has been a substantive part of her storyline for years, so she hangs in. She will have a come to Jesus once she dumps him.
Side note: LeeAnne moves like an old lady but she looks like a thirty year old. I have the opposite problem!
I’d take being able to move like a thirty year old again over looks anyday! Learned that lesson hard last week…again! Also IMO everyone can look very nice for their age no matter what make or model we were dealt without surgery or “non surgical” assistance. Most people don’t have any assistance and those that do don’t start at the top and work down “fixing” everything! I have nothing against any of it, I just have a bit of a problem with the age shaming that can happen based on looks and where we are in life with our physical changes by younger or “prettier” folks. We are blessed to get older and age, some changes are really hard, some are amazing and liberating.
Well said Kipper. I was age shamed by a pretty 20something year old. I asked her what her plan was for avoiding it happening to her and her response was: “Well, IF I get old I would just commit suicide.” (WTF???) I told her that if that was her option, then I guess she has a plan but that I did not think it was an appropriate solution to the privilege of being able to age gracefully. It was such an ignorant outlook on the aging process. I actually felt sorry for her as I think she will have a great struggle once her looks start fading as she bases all her value on her looks. I tried to explain to her that her youth is a very brief period of time in her life and banking all her self esteem on it is a flawed plan. I got a walk away and a hair toss. Le sigh.
Wow. That’s really a sad way for her to look at life.
Thanks! I’m trying to hang onto the positives in this aging adventure. Movement is about all I’ve got right now. Can’t see spending money on trying to hide my age. Different priorities, I guess. Glad I’m not judged on it like entertainers.
Andy’s look was more of a surprise the viewer asked him the question if Bravo condones LeeAnn’s racial slurs and Kelly’s violent behavior. He was pissed at the viewer, not LeeAnne. It was obvious he was not expecting the direct question.
Andy get the first look of the filming, before everyone else. I bet his eyes was full of glee, as he watched LeeAnne’s behavior, thus giving the green light to air. If he was really upset wit LeeAnne, why is it only her and Brandi was invited to be a part of Bravo Con? And, she was selected ride on the Pride Parade float, hosted a viewer’s Q &A with Reza and Capt. Sandy about supporting LBGTQ community. She is one of Andy’s favs.
I don’t believe she is a racist, but acting like a bigot was not good. She will be back. I read there is a Bravo casting call for two new housewives for RHOD.
LeAnn has been insecure all along. I’m so happy they recapped her calling Brandy a piece of trash to Stephanie. Just as she’s jealous of the developing friendship between Kam and Keri, LeAnn also tried to keep Brandi to herself when they were friends. I believe She a racist, she is a classist and a manipulator. My belief is based on the manner in which she says Mexican. She says it as tho it’s supposed to be demeaning and insulting. Her entire body language turns ugly. She never discusses Kary without reminding everyone that shes “Mexican”, translation: She’s Not one of us!
Kary may not be what some consider “housewives worthy”. However, when it comes to housewives we get what we get. She can’t be that bad if Kam is choosing to be her friend
Not a good comparison. Kameron chose to be LeeAnne’s friend. Just saying.
I agree 100% with you Stephtacular! I too believe she’s a racists due to the way she says “Mexican”. She says it with such hate and disgust.
I took LeAnne’s side in the dress episode, but now I am over her. I am a white woman and watching her comments about Mexicans over and over is uncomfortable and disgusting. Bravo needs to send her on her way and if they don’t I am sure if she comes back people will boycott the show. I will not watch if she comes back because I am over hearing about her childhood over and over and over again.
Unfortunately, there will probably not be a boycott of RHOD. I hate how she came across as a bigot, but let be honest. People will still tune in. LeeAnne is liked by Bravo and Andy, because she brings the drama and if she goes, the other ladies would not have an interesting story line worth filming. I, for one, is sick of the antagonizing relationship between Mama Dee and D;Andra and her slothful husband, D’Andra elitist attitude, Stephanie’s crying at drop of spilled water, and Kary buttnisky forever talking ass. Brandi and Kameron had a good season.
LeeAnne gives production what they are craving for. Her behavior is the red meat they want to throw at the viewers to get an angry rise, then they will bring her back. Every franchise has a rabid dog. If they kept Nene, they will keep LeeAnne.
LeeAnne’s “worry” about Kam’s reputation was a threat, pure and simple. It was meant to manipulate Kam into coming back to LeeAnne’s side. I know Kam said she spoke to LeeAnne about the Mexican slurs, but to continue to defend LeeAnne shows weakness or fear of LeeAnne’s wrath.
LeeAnne is mentally ill. She should not be on tv. She truly must be the victim — whether it’s trashing her mother at her own wedding, or crying, screaming, howling at every turn. She exhausts me, just watching her for an hour once a week. She is also a racist, bigot or whatever you want to call it. No excuse. And she just kept doubling down with it. Her pathetic “apology” IF she offended anyone was a typical non-apology by someone who knows they are in trouble for their behavior. She should have specifically addressed what she did and to whom at the very least. But I am sure she’d rather eat shit than apologize to Kary in a public forum (assuming she apologized privately).
Andy and Bravo continuing to support her and feature her at events is disgusting. Does Andy share her sentiments? smdh And if Andy thinks that spanking LeeAnne at the reunion is enough, he is sorely out of touch.
I hope she does read this.
Why is hating Mexicans not racist? If I hated Black People, or all Jews, etc., I would be racist. Why are Mexicans different?
In order to be racist, a person must act and speak in a manner where they feel their RACE is superior to another race. LeeAnne and Kary are both of the SAME RACE, Caucasoid aka Caucasian.
LeeAnne appears to dislike Mexicans.
I think bigot would be a better term here. Being hateful to someone or a group of people due to their cultural identity. But, in my opinion, the discriminatory sentiments behind both words are very similar.
I agree both are bad. The reason I make the differentiation is because calling things racist that are not racist per se dilutes the fight against ACTUAL RACISM which is a HUGE problem in this country.
Amen Tamara. There are far to many people being beaten, wrongfully accused and murder, because of true racism. LeeAnne came across as a bigot. There is a fine line between the two, but I don’t she it as racism.
I’ll be shocked if we get another season of this show. No one is watching it but us.
I love this show, LeeAnne and all. I hope it comes back. I don’t understand why it has such low ratings. OC and NJ are tired, Dallas is fresh. Where are the viewers? Of course I am still mad that both versions of the Dallas with Larry Hagman was canceled. I miss Dallas and love watching a show based there. I think I have some whiskey around here somewhere to go drown my sorrows. Did you ladies know that Crown Royal comes in Vanilla flavor?
BTW Kameron has some serious white boarding and presentation skills!
Hope the show stays but Leanne must go! She ruins it!
Omg I loved the original show Dallas and watched the new reboot of it a few years ago which got cancelled. My college BFF rented out the place they used as Southfork as her wedding venue but that was a lifetime ago. Do you know if it’s still there? Have they maintained it? Agree about Kameron’s skills; I was able to actually understand it and still am not sure that I needed to but coming from her it was pretty funny.
I’ve always wondered why my ex-husband who has long been a notoriously misogynistic, racist, meat & potatoes only, white privileged, narrow minded fucktard all of a sudden started dating young Thai girls and eating Thai food. (And let’s just say he doesn’t have much else to work with) I might finally have my answer! KIDDING, kind of? It was eye opening to say the least. ?
do you all remember a week or two ago when Leanne was ranting about “Mexican” Cary and she slapped her OWN face? There is something seriously wrong with her. Aside from Leanne I love the show, but it would not be dramatic enough without her.
Yes ma’am, I found it very disturbing and alarming behavior.
I mean dramatic enough for Bravo, not me. Leanne reminds me of my mother, always playing the victim. It literally makes my stomach hurt to watch her.
I watched WWHL and Andy was appalled by LeeAnne’s comments. And he was pissed at a second caller who wanted to know why he allowed LeeAnne’s comments and Kelly Dodd’s violence to air.
Must be hard being Andy. He wants everyone to think he is in charge of the housewives shows when he is not the decider anymore. He loves to take credit but is pissed to get the blame.
This.
There is a moment when you take being a victim and transition into being a survivor or wear your victimhood and make yourself a martyr.
When you are a child who suffers from unspeakable abuse, you think you are the only one. Eventually, as an adult you reach a point where you realize that it happens to lots of people. I won’t say it provides comfort but it does provide the realization you are not alone. And also that adults are capable of functioning even if a bit fucked in the head and you lose the need to bring it up unless relevant to a conversation.
The fact that LeeAnne keeps screaming her childhood pain is a bit odd to me. I understand there is no true healing. But eventually, even if it is not acknowledged by those who knew, you must move on.
THAT SAID. Some of you were around when I was losing my mind here during perimenopause. or whatever they call it. I spent a year or so in hormonal chaos and I would drink and contact distant family members and rage against my mother and literally lost my shit for a long period of time.
Menopause for childhood abuse victims can sometimes make you a raging teenager all over again. I was a grown ass woman who was just fine and thought I had dealt with it before then. I spent most of my life wondering why people didn’t just get the fuck over it. It happened, I’m doing great. No big deal. Then as I mentioned, I was angry. VERY FUCKING ANGRY. I would call random people related to the abuser (and me) and demand to know if they knew. During that time I got a letter from my mother’s sister to told me after someone’s funeral that she knew and it wasn’t just me. I threw it away. I didn’t want to know anymore. I was pretty much insane during this time.
Years later I had a therapist who told me she could not treat me for that situation because I don’t have a support system. I ended up coming out the other side on my own. I’m good now.
So I suspect that could be what is going on with LeeAnne. I’m not excusing her behavior. I am simply offering an explanation for what might be going on with her.
At some point, one realizes that yes, something bad happened to you and you realize that it also happened to lots of other people who live productive lives and move the fuck on.
Yes! Yes! Yes! Tamara – you are so right! I didn’t recognize it before! I was on the emotional roller coaster for 5-6 years. All my childhood crap came out to the surface during menopause . And, I want to apologize to everyone here for my earlier comment that LeeAnn needs to leave her stuff behind her at rehab. You never leave it behind. I just started EDMR therapy to deal with my childhood shit and I’m 55. So, I am one to talk. I’m determined not to carry this crap into my 60’s. I have learned to leave it at my therapist office, or on paper, or talking to my best friend. If you have faced abuse, it is so hard to stop struggling and trust once you have a good life. I see that in LeeAnn. She is so accustomed to struggling, she needs to stop and enjoy her good life today.
This and this. I am stan-ing these comments. Just want to show my love and support.
I am going through menopause and lost my mind (anxiety is very high). I wasn’t abused as a child, but was as an adult. I push the abuse out of my mind b’c it is too much for my mind to handle, with some very bad outcomes that will never heal for me.
Other that that, menopause is fine, it’s fine!! (I don’t want to scare anyone who hasn’t gone through it yet.)
We all get through it somehow.
A therapist wouldn’t treat you because you didn’t have a support group. She should lose her license.
No, she was probably right. It’s not a good idea to open that box alone.
TT, TRUTH!
Yes! Yes! Yes! You could be so right! I am so sorry you had a therapist tell you that load of crap. There are good & bad in every profession – but when you take the step to get help and to turn you away is devastating.
All my childhood stuff got unburied & laid out For everyone to see during menopause. I was on a roller coaster of anger, sadness & regret. My apologies to everyone here for implying LeeAnn should leave her shit behind. I’m 55 and just started EDMR therapy to deal with stuff from my teens. So, I’m one to talk. But past menopause, I deal with it in more private way. And getting it out in therapy, or writing or reading or however you deal – does help.
I hope RHOD comes back. And, maybe a more self-aware LeeAnn who is working on her issues.
I think the network/Andy has to react to any form of political incorrectness. Andy just did an interview saying that he has a hand in casting decisions. I think that if Dallas comes back, LeeAnne would have to because she really has been the whole show. The whole “racist” thing was known before BravoCon and her many other appearances.
While I agree that LeeAnne took things too far, I can also see her reacting to Kary constantly saying she is a strong Mexican, that she is from Mexico, blah blah blah. You came onto the show to take LeeAnne down. Nice work. I believe that LeeAnne gets black out mad and threw Kary’s words back at her. These reality “stars” can feign anger issues, but LeeAnne clearly cannot control herself. I just think it was directed at Kary and not the “race” of Mexicans, in general. Dallas has a massive Mexican population, so I just don’t see it.
Regarding Kary, I cannot stand her raspy voice and faux nice girl image. I would feel the same if she was Mexican or pasty white privileged Kameron. Kary got knocked up by a married man, he dumped his wife and married her years later. Way to go. Dare I say, strong Mexican? I’m a ginger and often get referred to as a ginger bitch because I call myself that. Should I be offended for my “race” of fellow gingers?
Any other white person speaking the way LeeAnne spoke about Kary would be called a racist (and most likely, a white supremacist terrorist as well). She did not do it once, she did it repeatedly over the course of 4 days (I think). She obviously has great contempt for Mexicans–her words tell us this. Also, I don’t understand why this wasn’t a bigger deal than it is. Why wasn’t it blasted all over the news like every racist remark made by big brother contestants etc.? Why is everyone making light of/excusing LeeAnne being a racist?
LeeAnne was cautioning Cameron about her reputation being ruined by attending a ping pong show in Thailand. She should be more worried about her life being over for being a racist, because that’s what typically happens when racists are called out for being racists.
I disagree with many here about Kary. I like her. She’s who she is, she tells it like it is and she doesn’t seem to care what others think about her. She doesn’t appear to be “performing” like most housewives. I’ve about run out of compassion for LeeAnne and her sob stories and I don’t even know her. Can’t imagine what her real friends think.
Yes to everything you said!
Okay y’all, it’s bugging me that people continue to use the term racist in this scenario. Once more with feeling, the Mexican comments are not racist—they fall into the category of BIGOTRY. Leanne is a BIGOT. And calling her a terrorist is taking it waaay too far IMO. That is quite a leap and could be considered very defamatory in today’s climate. Two wrongs do not make a right. Hopefully if it’s repeated enough some people will learn the difference. I’m not trying to pick on anyone because I’m not all-knowing and I learn stuff here all the time!
Clearly she is in the wrong BIG TIME. She has issued a public apology after all the backlash, not that anyone believes it.
I live in Texas and can confirm that what TT said about this being a common way of thinking in border states is true. I have no idea why; I guess there’s a lot of rude bigots in the border states. To be clear, I am not one of them and I’m in no way defending Leanne. She sucks on many levels. I’m just trying to clarify.
Just felt like I needed to get that out because it’s been driving me nuts as it has been explained eleventy billion times on this thread.
Carry on ?
I understand your take on LeeAnne, sadly. I also don’t have sympathy for her right now. She may not be a bigot, a racist or an elitist in her life , but she sure comes across as an angry middle aged woman who really could have the world at her feet and she’s too busy bitching out a coworker because she’s Mexican. Why?
PS. I do understand LeeAnne does not verbalize racism. It’s very important for people to understand what racism actually is, great dialogue here.
I do think LeeAnne is able to understand how to demean a person at their most personal level of insecurity and when threatened? She takes no prisoners. Very scary and sad.
All of this was terrible, but I do believe they (Home wrecker and D’Andra) were gunning for LeeAnne and it worked. We only see a few minutes of the footage, but all of it was bad for LeeAnne.
Just using the language I hear used against most people using the WORDS LeeAnne uses! (also, it was tongue-in-cheek—-obviously I don’t think she’s a terrorist).
I hope the next time I see or hear “Mexican” on ANYTHING Bravo, it is to announce that Mexican Dynasties will get a second season.
Or that US co-cola will return to the original recipe so that I don’t have to pay through the nose for Mexican co-colas.
Here in NY, where I am, we pay the same price for Mexican soda, especially around the Holidays. I agree, US should stop with their gross ingredients and go back to the original ingredients. I don’t even think people know it’s different. I didn’t until you told me a few years back.
The government made some sort of deal with the corn industry and now everything in the US is full of corn syrup rather than actual sugar. It’s awful.
I didn’t know that. I should of figured it’s the government’s fault. High fructose corn syrup is awful. Heinz ketchup has one without it. I think it’s called Heinz Simply ketchup.
High fructose corn syrup isn’t even FOOD. It is Mad Scientist concoction.
One of the things that cracks me up is when ladida chefs and “foodies” “discover” a new food thing, especially when it becomes a trend. Some of the chichi mixologists (BARTENDERS, you pompous fucks) are all into complex salts and pairing them with citrus drinks.
I DO enjoy all this “new” stuff, but the other day when someone was going ON about it, I said, “peanuts, Co-cola.” Like DUH! Country people and Southerners have been into the sweet/salt WAY before artisanal cocktail crap. (And before Salted Caramel pushed out Peach for ice cream flavors on the shelves. Summer isn’t summer without peach ice cream.)
