It’s time for part one of the reunion episodes for tonight’s RHOD recap. Thankfully it is only a two part reunion. I am tired of this crew. If there is another season of this franchise, and that’s a big if, I don’t see how LeeAnne keeps her job after this season.
The ladies look amazing! All six dresses are gorgeous. We don’t waste any time back stage and immediately get started with some bad news. Mama Dee couldn’t come because she broke her ankle and has had four surgeries. The birth mother of Bruin’s sibling lost the baby. Brandi seems pretty heartbroken over that.
Money Problems?
Andy goes right after LeeAnne and her wedding. He asked a series of questions about the cost of her wedding and why she told a tabloid the wedding costs over $4 million. Kary told another site that LeeAnne probably only had $2,000 of her own money in the wedding. Everything was either borrowed or donated. Then there was a lot of discussion about the lack of food. LeeAnne tries to blame production for the five hour break. Andy calls her out on that lie. Andy seems to be not very happy with LeeAnne. Then he brought up Rich making comments about all the other women. It seems that people think LeeAnne is lying. Brandi said that Rich has made her uncomfortable before.

D’Andra still thinks that Rich cheated on LeeAnne. Rich also texted Jeremy and threatened to tell D’Andra all about “pretty Jessica.” LeeAnne says that Rich lost a six figure job because of D’Andra’s cheating allegations. Andy points out LeeAnne lied about sending Kary a wedding invitation. LeeAnne is lying. A lot. Brandi said she never had any intention going to LeeAnne’s wedding. Andy moves on to ask about her mother’s treatment at the wedding. LeeAnne denies treating her poorly. LeeAnne has not spoken to her mother since the wedding.
Viva Mexico!
Lots of talk about the bed sharing situation. LeeAnne says she was really drunk when they arrived. Also, she sleeps naked and didn’t want to share a bed with a woman she barely knows. That seems reasonable. Andy probes Kary to see if she is actually happy in her marriage or if she is just in it for the money. She says she is content. Andy asks if she is happy, she says yes.

We start to talk about Kameron and Brandi’s blow-up in Mexico but I am distracted by everyone’s blush. Most all of them are wearing “brown blush” or dark contouring. Blush she be somewhere on the pink/rose/red spectrum based on your skin tone. Anyway, I’m on Kameron’s side. Brandi does act like trash. Brandi talks about growing up in trailers. LEEANNE LOCKEN interjects with “we have to get over our pasts and move on.” That may be the most hypocritical thing ever said on a reunion.
Let It Go, Elsa!
Kameron and Stephanie discuss the “surface friendship” between them. Kameron says she was very hurt by that. She cries. She says that Stephanie said terrible things about her behind her back to the other girls. Stephanie gets very testy with Kameron. She says that Kameron treated her badly all season. Kameron says that Stephanie and her husband listed her as a reference when applying to a country club. She gave them a nice one. Then she found out that Stephanie was bad mouthing her to others. Stephanie gave a story to a tabloid recently where she called Kameron a bully. Lots of Frozen quotes are exchanged between these two. Nothing was resolved.

Back to the LeeAnne bashing… This time we talk about LeeAnne’s constant talking about her childhood abuse and suicidal tendencies. I can’t with this.
LeeAnne Shoots The Bird At Kary!
Everyone tries to explain to LeeAnne that she uses her childhood trauma to shut down other people when she feels attacked. Which is pretty much all the damn time. They talk about Kary asking LeeAnne if she ever wanted to have children. Kary says she was trying to get to know LeeAnne but every thing she asked her seemed to trigger her anger issues. Kary said LeeAnne never asked about her. Everything is about LeeAnne. So they never really got to know each other.
Kary says that everything LeeAnne does and says is all about her. LeeAnne points out all the charity work she does. Kary says LeeAnne does charity work to make herself look good. This gets under LeeAnne’s skin. Kary asks what she donates from her own bank account. This pissed LeeAnne off so she flips off Kary. Klassy.
We All Need A Drink Now!
Kameron explains to Kary that some people donate money and others donate their time and both are important. Brandi has been laughing at every comment Kary makes to LeeAnne. Now she has decided that this moment calls for a drink and she pulls our a flask. She is cracking up and drinking tequila. She passes the flask to Stephanie who also does a shot. Andy mocks the flask and asks them if are sailors.
LeeAnne says she was seriously contemplating suicide in Mexico. This upsets D’Andra because her father killed himself. D’Andra said LeeAnne bring it up in such a flippant manner that it upsets her. If she wants to talk about it in a serious way, she is fine with that.
Next week: Things get even more serious when LeeAnne’s feet are held to the table about her bigoted remarks about Mexicans.
You are quick tonight TT! I didn’t watch every episode, but did watch reunion. These ladies lose my attention. LeeAnn’s storyline is old. Bravo needs to get her some counseling or replace her. Honestly, the Dallas housewives can join the Miami housewives. They just aren’t that interesting, and I do not like Kary at all. She knows how the others feel about LeeAnn so her strategy has been to lecture LeeAnn ad nauseam which only brings more attention to LeeAnn’s tired ass storyline.
I haven’t liked Leann since day 1. Like the ladies every time I start to she does something that’s like wtf I really wanted to like you. I really love Stephanie and Kameron. Maybe they are to much alike to get along? I don’t really like Deandra…I kinda see why her and Leanne were such good friends. I think they would still be if it weren’t for the show. They both come off as thinking they are the most authentic but are anything but. I really like Kary and her idgaf attitude…even when she’s wrong she doesn’t care bc she is maintaining her lane and I love that.
Honestly I am at the point where every RH franchise makes me sad. They are full of privileged entitled women who are mostly mean, drunk and unfulfilled. I watched them all at one point and now I simply cannot. But I still love TT ❤️And read all the posts!! RHOD seems really sad-maybe we can transition from RH to Real Counseling sessions of…?
I really want to like LeAnn…but I feel so sorry for her…I am always sad she behaves the way she does…I think Kari is definitely a dark addition…1st she is really good friends with deandra…so of course she is provoking and nasty to LeAnn …do you see the way she always makes a jab at LeAnn and then looks for deandras response…she is a true mean girl…and surprised she is so aggressive in her 1st season…it is sad to see these privileged beautiful women act so petty and disturbed….I do think Stephanie is kind and genuine…so is Kameron…would love to see these women grow and resolve their issues what a great example all the house wives could be…but then there wouldn’t be the drama everyone’s addicted to…
This is one of my favorite franchises after the NY Ladies but this season was rough.
I don’t expect LeeAnn to get over all her trauma but I do hope she gets help, instead of spending all the money on surgeries I wish she would try and use that money to feel better internally.
I don’t love either C/Karys but wished they did not mess with the dynamic from last season and think the new Kary helped make this season a bit dark.
By far the best reunion group look. I loved the color scheme and all the dresses. I am so glad that Andy kept calling out Leanne, he kept her feet to the fire. Everything she spewed were lies and contradictions. I really hope that she doesn’t come back next season. Cameron with her fake cry turns everything people say around to fit her narrative.
I didn’t like the way Kameron cried either it was such a reach. Cause Stephanie has come to her and she was so dismissive of her. And Stephanie is so nice.
Yep, several times Stephanie tried to talk to her and she wouldn’t listen and walked away. Kameron stretching what “surface level friends” means to her was crazy too.
Kameron is a horrible fake crier. Awful.
I think this franchise could go and they should give Stephanie and Brandy their own spin off. I think that their authentic friendship is the most entertaining and genuine relationship across all of the franchises…. I would love it if they brought back the people’s couch with those two as the hosts.
Yes please, Bravo I will watch.They are a hoot together and lighten up the dynamics in the show.
I love brandi and stephanie if it wasn’t for them I definatly wouldn’t watch the show. Leanne is such a drama queen and yes she has mucho issues but to hear it every show is off putting and she is such a liar. She must be replaced. Also what happened to part 3 of the reunion?
I actually like this franchise & would be sad if it was canceled. They seem to be the most authentic. Usually the 1st season of these shows are the most real & after that it’s all bull…
I go back & forth with liking/disliking Leeann & Deandra every episode. I like Brandi & Stephanie but their own show would annoy me… I dont think Leeann is racist, maybe stupid but I think Kary kept referring to herself in that way so Leeann used her words, but she should know better being on tv & saying things like that… You think her bff Cameron would of said to her off camera, like hey you said …. you cant do that, it will come off horrible! I cant wait till next week & the lies leeann spews & cries why & looks they all give her…
I don’t think I have ever agreed with someone more! Like seriously. Amazing!
Brandi and Kari are getting a lot of heat here in Dallas. The LGBTQ community has rallied on behalf of LeeAnne and her charity work. D’Andra was married by a pastor who is totally against this community and has made it clear in the media. This group of Dallas ladies need to blow up and let’s start over. I don’t think there will be another season.
Started watching my copy of rhod and irritated already by first commercial break.
Andy gave in to pr and started out by attacking leann about her wedding.
I’ve been to weddings where I was hungry. But buffet snacks were served. It was on me. Andy bitching about the wedding food was below the belt. Complaining to a bride about her wedding fails is just bad taste.
Andy went after leeann knowing the women were already primed to go after her.
It was all to kiss ass to the people who tried to paint leann as a racist to be relevant.
I guess thirsty kary got her way.
If you’re going to have a late evening wedding. You’re supposed to have food. Especially since it was a five hour break. You should provide hot food. I’m planning a wedding and I don’t have the privilege of having things donated. So she could’ve done better.
I’m not a Leanne fan at all but if it was a 5 hour break why couldn’t they have went to a restaurant to grab something to eat. Then the appetizers she served would have been right for a light late night snack.
Exactly, the wedding should be about the bride and groom. If you didn’t get one of those chicken or fish cards in the invite, you should expect to feed yourself during THE FIVE HOUR BREAK. And if you get there and there are party pigs and spray cheese on crackers you should NEVER, NEVER, say anything negative about it. The guests should be the to celebrate the bride and groom, not to get their feedbag on.
Whatever happened to basic etiquette at a wedding?
She didn’t need a full on meal but, if people are drinking for more than two hours, you need heavy hors d’ouevres and plenty of them. Also, this is Texas y’all and southern people like to eat.
I understand what you mean but I beg to differ. I host a lot at our home and I got married and a couple of months back. My focus and majority of my budget went towards a 7 course dinner and people only got a free cocktails and canapés during a two hour break when we went away to take pictures. My point being that food is the most important part of hosting any event. People can pay for their own drinks but food is a priority.
Amen. Complaining about a wedding is in incredibly poor taste. You should be there out of love to celebrate the union. You didn’t pay anything don’t ask for anything.
Andy’s complaints about it was icky, his entire attitude during this episode (esp mocking them about the flask) was bad. Normally I like him and Dallas but this reunion is uncomfortable.
Sorry but I disagree. Who has a 5 hour break? How disrespectful to the invited guests. Ridiculous.
Amen
If you’re telling magazines that your wedding cost over $4 MILLION then you would think food would be included. I would be very upset if I was a guest and there wasn’t even a buffet. I think Kary hit the nail on the head – Leeanne couldn’t get the food donated & that’s why it was so lacking.
Hence the 5 hour break. Her stating that production needed to break was otter BS. Be honest about the break and food.
LeeAnne never stops lying.
I think that the bragging about how much it cost, wearing $3 million of borrowed jewelry and running out of beverages at the reception would the breaking point for me. Apparently at the reception, the bar ran out of water to serve the guests and told them to get it from the bathroom. This shows you were too self-absorbed and did not want to spend any of your own money to go to Sams and spend $50 ($4 for a 35 pk of 16 oz. bottles) to make sure there was something else for the guests to drink besides Vodka and Tequila shots which she got donated.
Certainly we have all been to weddings where maybe the only refreshments were cake and punch in the fellowship hall of the church and never thought to complain. However in those instances the bride and groom were not draping the altar with 25 yards of silk fabric and flowers but having a wedding which was within their means. The impression Leeanne leaves is that she was not that concerned with the guests just herself.
In New Orleans, we don’t do sit down dinners or buffets, most weddings have cocktail food type appetizers even at night. However even with a small budget for food spinach dips and pasta fill people up and are inexpensive and all are available at your local Costco. I also agree with the other comments that you can’s load people up with hard liquor and then only serve cake and cheese.
The five hour break is something I have never encountered. I went to an Orthodox Jewish wedding where there are several rituals that the couple has to do in private or with the rabbis before they could come to the reception after the ceremony, lasting perhaps an hour. Food and drinks were served to the guests while this was happening.
I totally agree Anna. It was a disgusting display of malicious behavior, sanctimonious & self righteous nonsense! How dare they be so cruel to another castmate. They did everything in their power to humiliate Leann, with Andy Cohen being the Ringleader! SHAME ON THEM! BRAVO HOW LOW CAN YOU GO!! This is a perfect example of emotional & psychological abuse! Especially to a fragile person! WOW!!
????
I think they should keep Brandi and Stephanie and recast the rest.
I think LeeAnne should go, she brings the drama, but it’s played out at this point. Kameron is the only one who would want anything to do with her now, so it wouldn’t really make sense for her to stick around. They got rid of Phaedra for less than that, and she was hilarious. Wasn’t impressed with the new Kary, nothing in her storyline interested me. Surprised they replaced the old Cary with this girl. Both are boring. I think Stephanie, Brandi, Kameron, and D’Andra should stay and they should find a couple new girls for next season. I really like RHOD, I watch all the franchises except for Potomac. But RHOD is right up there with NY for me. Better than OC for sure.
Andy came hard and often for LeeAnne. I have noticed he is doing that more at the reunions when someone has outrageous behavior. Dallas needs to replace Kary, she has added nothing to my favorite RHO franchise, okay maybe RHONY is my favorite but Dallas obviously has my heart because I lived there for so many years. Even the old Cary would be 100 times better but the few times Cary has filmed you can tell she is so happy to not be stressed by being in the main part of the drama of the show.
I loved the seating arrangement, black dress, not friend, red dress, not an ally and so on. I laughed and laughed over the flask and Andy’s comment about are you two sailors now?
I think they need to keep LeeAnne, Stephanie, Kameron, Brandi and find about 4 other women to toss in the mix and see how it goes. I just don’t want to hear about D’Andra’s business challenges and the feud with LeeAnne anymore. I think we have heard plenty about those two subjects.
Love Kameron! She’s perfect housewife material she’s got a college degree has had her own businesses dog clothing line &sparkle dog food she’s a hoot, she I feel is super misunderstood I think Stephanie is phony, sorry.
Don’t be sorry. I agree with you about everything
I want to be Kameron’s friend. She seems really nice. I find her so fascinating.
I don’t know how LeeAnne can survive her comments about Kary. If anyone leaves, I hope its Kary.
Between her strained relationship with Edouardo and her hostility toward LeeAnne, it’s clear Kary has an agenda and to get that money. She’s gonna back her husband into a corner to put her name on a deed and it looks like she’s vying to have LeeAnne fired to get it. If she gets another season, Kary’s true colors will show and I think she’ll be an evil villain.
I was distracted by the all the blush too! It reminded me of caking on blush before a dance recital in the 90’s.
Kameron’s was the most distracting. Most of them looked like hey had dirty cheeks.
While I was watching it, I was honestly thinking in the back of my mind, TT had to notice the blush too. I dont wear blush or bronzer because I am a regular person. I love that you noticed the harsh blush/bronzer too.
The blush color and application reminds me of the trend to overdo it in the 1980s that looked ridiculous five minutes later. The ‘80s hairstyles were awful too. This look doesn’t even look good for one minute. At least they didn’t have the horrid bladed brows so popular elsewhere.
As a mother whose son committed suicide, LeeAnn Locken can fuck right off! I am so angry right now I could just scream. Suicide is no joke and she was so incredibly flippant she makes me sick. I never want to see her face again.
I’m sorry about your son. My father committed suicide. Losing someone is difficult enough, but suicide leaves such a void, a sadness, unanswered questions. It’s like it’s impossible to get closure. My cousin is always comparing our fathers’ deaths. Hers died from extended illness over several years, the family knew his health was deteriorating. I’m not trying to minimize her loss, but it is not the same type of loss.
I am so sorry for your loss. I understand what you are saying about LeighAnn. She should gracefully bow out.
Amen. My brother succumbed to severe depression and committed suicide and it makes my flesh crawl when LeeAnn mentions wanting to commit suicide every. fucking. episode. With her fake tears and fake hoarse voice. Narcissists don’t commit suicide.
Please forgive me, all. Just triggers me.
You have nothing to be forgiven for. It’s your pain, and no one has the right to tell you how to mourn and process. I feel for all of you who have gone through this. May God, and time help you to cope.
Amen. She blithely throws bullshit suicide threats around for the same reasons she never shuts up about her childhood. Andy may be going after her this reunion, but her lies and bullshit have just put everyone over the edge. She is a lying liar hypocrite.
And when her BFF Kameron says there wasn’t enough food at the wedding, you know it’s true. That was a joke. Clearly she hoped people ate before they came (all 300 of her close personal friends). And I think it is perfectly fine to criticize a wedding reception if the bride is so OTT and selfish as LeeAnne — give me many showers, gifts, etc. and I will give you a cracker with cheese that I got for free, while in my free dress and free wedding venue. If she held the modest wedding she could afford, and not brag about a $4.5 million dollar wedding she got for free, people would not have criticized her.
? ????
I’m not really looking forward to next week. LeeAnne needs to discuss her references to Mexicans, but the women going off on her is a bit rich. Most of them are visible Trump supporters, and his remarks on the topic of Mexicans….well, we all know what he’s said.
They are “visible Trump supporters”, huh?why? Because they live in Texas, a mostly Republican supported state? You can be a Republican, live in TX, but not support Trump, and also hate bigotry …just sayin.
It’s against the rules here to post articles from other sites, so you may want to google this. But D’Andra was on the Texas Women for Trump Coalition, and Brandi tweeted excitedly about being at an event for Trump on her birthday. Stephanie and Travis donated thousands to his campaign.
Ew. I have too many relatives that support Trump to say that it makes them bad people, generally just seriously deluded “Oh He didn’t mean it like that”. I agree though Brandi and D’Andra’s support of Trump definitely makes their shaming of LeeAnne hypocritical.
I don’t see how what LeeAnn said has to do with Trump, nor do I think she is racist. I don’t think she thinks before she speaks, but I don’t think she’s racist. Kary comes for LeeAnn every time she opens her mouth. Kary knows the others are sick of LeeAnn’s pity party and Kary pokes the bear then awaits her look of approval from DeAndra. I think LeeAnn was sick of hearing Kary declare she was Mexican and how things are done in Mexico ad nauseam.
I TOTALLY see what LeeAnne said has to do with Trump. We have a bigot for a president. Bigotry is bigotry.
Sorry, let me connect the dots. I think the woman are being performative in their outrage here, and are using LeeAnne’s comments as a way to either get her off the show, or maybe just to deflect from their own conflicts.
Because if they’re so upset about LeeAnne othering Kary and her heritage as a Mexican, then Trump’s infamous escalator announcement should have stopped any of them from even THINKING about donating to him or joining election committees connected to him.
I see what you are referencing now. I was trying to figure out how LeeAnn’s comments had anything to do with the the racist things Trump has said. I get your point & I agree with TT that she comes across as a bigot by using the Mexican comments in a mean way. I don’t feel she’s racist. I think like so many of the housewives, when she’s mad or hurt she goes low.
Thanks for the dialogue! I touched on this below, so sorry to be repetitious, but — I think figuring out internal motivation can be a little bit more than people deserve when it comes to racist comments.
When LeeAnne went low against Kary by implying her necklaces look like anal beads, that’s on par with Kary making fun of LeeAnne’s dress line. Both are uncalled for and could impact each other’s businesses, but the fallout is contained.
If you perpetuate stereotypes against a culture, though, it potentially impacts a huge population. Maybe not a huge impact, but it’s certainly not limited to Kary.
☑️
Of course LeeAnn is a racist. Did we not watch the same programs? Kary’s statements regarding being Mexican and LeeAnn’s remarks about Kary being Mexican are two entirely different sentiments.
I can’t believe they don’t teach the definition of racism in schools anymore.
Racism is when someone from one race feels superior to those of ANOTHER race.
In this instance, both women are of the Caucasian race.
Phonetically, for those in the back. ZEN-OH-FOH-BICK.
Lol!
I support Trump and I love Mexicans. Auntie Velvet needs to get off the Democrat plantation.
Keep the advice in your pants. In fact, I’m talking about the women’s hypocrisy, not Trump’s foreign policy.
I don’t follow or inquire too much about the RHOD women. Were y’all all aware of the Rich allegations? They seemed to come out of left field for me.
I had no idea, but I’ve missed a lot the last couple of seasons.
I wasn’t aware but it’s interesting to know! Maybe the cast was bringing up their Rich issues because of the cheating allegations. I definitely believe the allegations and his inappropriate comments. There ate things that go on behind camera that we’ll never see. Those flirting allegations seemed out of left field to us, but it seemed known to all of them. For instance, Kameron didn’t even look shocked.
Yes, the infidelity rumors have gone around for years about Rich. Before LeeAnne and after LeeAnne. When Dallas SWAT was on I swear he had a blonde girlfriend/wife and at the end of the series he was starting to see LeeAnne or some other brunette. I am not saying there was overlap, who knows maybe that blonde wife will come along and tell us. Or LeeAnne in her fake name can come back and heavily deny it and set us ALL straight. It’s been more than a dozen years since I saw that show so I cannot swear to any of this.
I do know the woman was blonde, things seemed tense between the woman and his teenage daughter and they had conversations on money or lack thereof which he attributed to previous divorces and child support. Plus he was a policeman, they aren’t the highest paid.
I would go back and watch every single episode of Dallas SWAT and report back for you ladies but it’s not online free anywhere that I can find other than an episode or two. I am willing to take one for the team, but not to pay to take one for the team! Really though what happened a dozen years ago doesn’t matter anymore. It is what is going on today.
My friends don’t have any direct knowledge, but he is male, and well. In fact I can’t look at any of the husbands of any of the RHO franchises and say that man is faithful no matter what. But that is just my humble opinion.
So I just took 4 paragraphs to tell y’all I got nothing, not even good rumor or innuendo.
You put in the effort to see if you could find the SWAT episodes & were willing to watch for us. You tried! ?
There are a bunch of episodes on Youtube.
I honestly felt that Andy came hard for Leanne. I felt it was really over the top. Yes if there was a five hour break in the wedding, guest could of grabbed a meal to eat.
I agree that LeAnn is a xenophobic megadouche, but when Kary mentions her “making it all about her” when she told her about having sex at 13, is that not how you get to know people like she said she wanted to? Like, you tell me something about your life, I listen then maybe try to empathise? Then if something similar has happened to me I tell you about it and maybe we bond over it?
Have I been making friends wrong?
Did Andy go so hard on Leanne because of all the Mexico comments?
IMO her comments weren’t racist because Mexican is a nationality. I don’t understand why she kept emphasizing where Kary was from. Kary was very mean and she could’ve said that without emphasizing her nationality. I think the visit to her family’s resort was more like a commercial but I would not be sad to see Kary go. The women from real housewives of Beverly Hills say and do far worse things and are not raked over the coals like Leanne. However Leeanne wanted to have her wedding it’s her business and Andy needed to just let it go.
The devil works hard, but the “Hey, I’m just mentioning their nationality!” folks work harder. This is why Jewish Americans got chills down their spines when the current administration announced plans last month to have Judaism designated as a nationality and not just a religion.
I live in a blue state, so I know better than to reference where someone comes from in anger, regardless of anything.
I do wonder if Kary referenced her Mexican-ness as “I am a strong woman who grew up in Mexico so I am tough from it” and that part didn’t make through editing. Because Leeanne was pretty specific about her Mexican remarks, she didn’t say anything bad about Mexicans per se, and I find it hard to believe she is so dumb that she just made random disjointed remarks about Kary being Mexican without any context.
Many a housewife in the past has pointed out that things are edited for maximum drama.
Just giving her the benefit of the doubt. Saying someone is racist is a big accusation, and not one I think should be taken lightly.
It’s a complicated subject, but IMO where we all go wrong is trying to figure out if someone is racist “in his/her heart.” In LeeAnne’s heart, she probably isn’t actually repulsed by Hispanic people. She would have grasped at anything about Kary because Kary was getting under her skin.
But it doesn’t really matter what is in someone’s heart, because the effect of those words can really be damaging. It’s just like anything else — someone can discuss being gay, or a certain ethnicity, or even joke about it with like-minded people. But if they’re in a demographic which is at all vulnerable (and Lord knows Hispanic people are right now), you just don’t use those things against them.
I see no storyline with Brandy or Stephanie. Have you seen her video she posted last night? What a mess she is.
This franchise could go. Its a pretty big Yawn
I did see that. I felt that Brandi’s comments about the squinty eyes and mocking or imitating (not quite sure which) were worse than what LeeAnn did. I’m not saying LeeAnn was not wrong. I’m just not sure her calling Kary the chirpy Mexican wasn’t her being sick of hearing Kary state she is Mexico, from Mexico, how it’s done in Mexico, etc. Regardless, she was using the Mexican label negatively. I’m not buying Brandi’s deflection to her auditioning for SNL. Brandi claims she was making fun of herself. I’d like TT’s insight on the video as I’m just not sure the purpose of it, when it was done, etc.
The video that magically appeared during the reunion is from Season 2 when D’Andra was mocking Brandi for having squinty eyes. Brandi was mocking herself over the comments.
The video was posted initially by LeeAnne’s wedding planner.
Rich’s comments bothered me. You literally JUST got married and you’re making comments about other women. Oh no! Not cute. I do think the other girls jumped on, but LeeAnn invites it. Hastagging Travis to justify makes excuses for poor behavior. I would be pissed.
I was only weirded out by Rich’s comments because he’s very clearly mic’ed so if he’s saying that on camera, what is he saying/doing off camera. LeeAnne defending his comments made it worse. Just say “yeah that was a jackass comment, he heard all about it when the episode aired, I’m still working on home-training him.” Bam. Conversation over.
While I think Kam and Stephanie’s argument is ridiculous, I’m interested in why exactly Stephanie needs Kam to be more than a surface-level friend? I have a few surface-level friends and they’re great! We have fun, it’s not very much work, and very little drama. Kam seems perfect for this role! I don’t think Kam can give any more – most likely because she can’t reveal what skeletons are in her closet or Jimmy will kick her out of the family quicker than you can say “baby elephant.”
Heh. The hypocrisy of Brandi’s video that came out last night made me chuckle.
LeeAnne… I’m a bit worried about her. I think the best thing she can do is leave the show and continue to focus on herself. I bet equine therapy would be great for her.
Also, not a fan of Andy’s style. While I do think LeeAnne (and others) need to be held accountable, “coming for someone” is not the job of a moderator. It contributes to LeeAnne’s claim that everyone is ganging up on her.
Him asking if she was happy with her wedding planner was rude and unnecessary.
Andy usually hides behind “viewer questions” to say the nasty things. This time he didn’t even pretend they were not from him.
How much power does Andy really have for casting and other decisions for bravo shows?
He gets so many big-name people for his watch what happens live.
How does he do this?
There are around seven people that make the casting decisions. There is one person, a female, who has Andy’s old Bravo job who has the final say. A couple of other Bravo suits are involved as well as a couple from the production company. Those people plus Andy give notes on casting (and the episodes). The female Bravo suit has the final say, but she listens to everyone’s input.
Is that Jenn Levy? I listened to Andy Cohen’s radio show and he kept talking about her making big casting decisions.
Oh and Andy is represented by CAA. They are a cult of A list stars that all show up for anything the other is in. Kelly Ripa is with the same agency. They are thick as thieves.
Thank you for the answer to my question
Which makes sense as well because his “bestie” Bruce Bozzie is married to Bryan Lourd… who is a talent agent and partner of CAA!
I think Brandi & Stephanie are hilarious and a true friendship…hate when they put housewives together who truly have no connections! LeeAnne creates her storylines and whines and cries way too much about her childhood issues and lies and lies and lies! And the whole suicide issue was so offensive to so many, between that and the chirpy Mexican comments may just have Bravo thinking twice…oh wait we are talking about Bravo execs…they love that shit… she’s here to stay unfortunately.
While this season was not stellar I do like this franchise, they make me laugh. The first season was great when you would see them at charity events etc. I’m not impressed with Andy Cohen at this reunion, he can’t hide is stinkface when LeeAnne speaks and that throws me off, as much of an ass LeeAnne is she really is the main pot stirrer and brings it, if she was not there we would be up to our necks in Sparkle dog food, Hard Night Good Morning, farts and homemade jewelry
Well I guess Im alone because I like LeAnn (as much as one can, not actually knowing the person in real life) but dam, I turned the show off when the nonsense about the food at the wedding came up – especially when Andy said he would be pissed not getting food –
ok so how much of a entry ticket price do wedding guests pay to attend again? oh right nothing – its not as though they paid to attend an event/restaurant ffs go scratch with that BS
Yet another reason I have no time for weddings, its never about the reason its always about nit-picking – dress, food, booze, decor pfft
I turned on the Linda Ronstadt documentary – far better and not a waste of a night
I always price the gift I bring to a wedding to somewhat match the expense of the wedding. For example, when I go to a very fancy wedding with fancy food, I tend to bring a much pricier gift. They have spent so much on the wedding and my food so I bring a nicer gift. If she claims to be receiving Birkin bags as wedding gifts!? A bag that costs several thousand dollars!? I’m going to need more than meat, cheese, and cupcakes ?
Didn’t get a chance to read this update till now; it’s been a bad day. My dog Baxter got out and took off. I was devastated- I looked for him fit 4 hours; eventually someone down the road saw him running behind their house…they brought him home to me. I am so thankful. On another note, I can’t stand LeeAnne. I think she’s absolutely pathological. (So?) I’m not sure this show will be back next year.
So glad Baxter made it home! It’s so scary when they get loose!
Yes! His left ear was scraped – a little bloody – don’t know what happened. But he got tons of treats and got to sleep all the way under the covers. I think we both breathed a sigh of relief!
I doubt they’ll get rid of Cary after LeeAnne’s comments this season. The whole franchise will look shady if that happens!
Loved this reunion. Everyone had equal time to disgrace themselves. Reminded me why I prefer the reunions to the actual season. Everyone got scorched. The makeup on Kary was like a mask. So unattractive & I think she is very pretty. ( on the outside ).Missed Momma D she is everything. Leeanne is mi favorite resilent cutting & hilarious. Looking forward to part 2. Sad about Bruins sibling. Brandi has a good heart.
The whole show, right outta the gate, was about bashing Leanne. They didn’t need to go on and on insulting her wedding over and over. Once would have sufficed. I thought that was a bit rude. I don’t think Leanne is racist. Kary started pointing out she is MEXICAN. I don’t think it would have been said if it wasn’t already said over and over by Kary herself. Yes, Leanne is a liar face. I don’t know why I like her. Kamaran is my favorite. I do not like D’Andra, Brandi does act trashy and I hope Kary goes. BTW, I support Trump and I should not be afraid to say so. Please don’t hate.
I must say, I noticed the blush too. It was awful.
The make up artist(s) must be the same crew from WWHL…where blush and contour look like someone smudged a Hershey Bar all over their faces.
Leanne should have done better! It is the South. We expect to be fed well at weddings especially when guests shell out for nice gifts and travel for your blessed day.
Eduardo…dude, I’d be sleeping with one eye open. The hate that your wife has for you practically oozes from every orifice.
Finally just watched this episode and I couldn’t be happier that Leeanne got called out for all her bullshit. The lies coming from her both were incredibly bold and ridiculous. Does she think people are really buying this?? I about fell out when she told Brandi to grow past her childhood…oh the irony. I just can’t with Leeanne, I am empathetic to her childhood but as an adult she has no redeeming qualities. She should not be in this show. I despise how shes so flippant about suicide and uses it as a way to get attention.
I thought stephanie looked absolutely beautiful. I do think she is genuinely a kind person. Not a malicious bone in her body. I also enjoy her friendship with Brandi because it genuine and not forced for the cameras.
Kameron is just too fake for me. I’ve tried to like her but she made herself look stupid AF this reunion. The way to reacted to stephanie calling their friendship superficial was melodramatic. The fake tears and the “bold words hurt” nonsense made her look like the dumb, superficial blonde that she said she wasn’t. Even her mannerisms rub me the wrong way. Everything about her comes across fake and ingenuous.
Leeanne IS RHOD – she is the storyline
No Leeann ?? The other housewives has no storyline to bash

Just wish LeeAnne would go back to playing the Housewife game better.
