It’s time to write the final RHOBH recap of the season and it really could not have come fast enough. Last week’s recap was a discussion post. And comments were filled with bots. The bots were all Team Denise. It’s more than a little strange that they all came out during the finale. Especially since despite Denise claiming she quit, Denise wasn’t going to be asked back and the network and Evolution made it abundantly clear to Denise. As it turns out,Tamara Tattles exclusive sources report production doesn’t tolerate her Bravo, Bravo, Bravo crap, her threats about what they could and could not air, not showing up to flim, and sending a billion cease and desists to both production and talent. Bots will not be permitted in comments this week. Also, comments are closed at the sole discretion of the site owner.
The Lies! The Lies!
If you had told me even as recently as last season that I would choose to believe Brandi Glanville over Denise Richards I would have laughed in your face. Yet, here were are. Andy doesn’t believe Denise either. For the love of Gawd can we talk about anything else. Rinna whips out copies of the texts between Denise and Brandi. Denise starts threatening Rinna about what she can say. Denise is guilty as sin. And she is threatening to release Rinna’s private information. Literally everyone knows Denise is lying. I’m bored and glad she is gone.

Finally, we are going to move on to sex work, because why not? We get a clip at the strip club that Erika worked at in NYC. Somehow this moves on to Andy asking Rinna a “viewer question” about why she could not picture Amelia being a go go dancer in a club when she “posts half nude on IG for money.” Rinna says there really isn’t a difference. Erika says they make a lot more money, that’s the difference.
And More Lies! Was It Your Fear Of Small Planes? Or Because You Had Your Kids?
Then Andy talks about how packed the house was to see Erika on Broadway and all the celebrities that came just to see her. Tom didn’t get to see her perform. He was planning to come during her last week and then Covid shut Broadway down. Erika and Rinna seem to be in a really good place. Garcelle tried and failed to come for Rinna about trying to steal Erika’s thunder. Rinna pointed out that the people that truly supported Rinna and Garcelle and Denise were the two that didn’t show up. Denise says she didn’t know about it until the night before. Andy says, “I was told that at the time you were suing us.” He’s REALLY not down with Denise. None of the other cast members seem to care for Garcelle or Denise. Garcelle got a gig hosting on The Real so I doubt she’ll be back either.

Really? Now we have to talk about Aaron? Apparently, no husbands are coming this season. Can we talk about his batshit crazy business? Or the fact that both Denise and Aaron think the CIA? The FBI? Or The FDC? Or SOMEONE is following them everywhere? Because that is way more interesting than his dick size and his mansplaining and condescension. But no, it’s about Aaron and Erika. So stupid. Andy is going KENYA MOORE hard on Denise. Denise tries to explain the “I’m going to crush your fucking hand.” Except she has no explanation. The other ladies are concerned about Aaron’s temper. Denise can’t handle Andrew like Kenya does.
It’s Fashion!
We get a look back at all the fashions, mainly Dorit and Erika and Sutton. And then Andy has Dorit model her Star Wars meets Medusa hair do. I mean, I like Erika’s simple sleek long page boy better. Andy calls out Kyle for spending over $10K in Rome.

And then, we talk about Denise some more. And her relationship with Lisa Rinna. Oh Denise, final nail in the coffin. Ask Nene Leakes what happens when you walk off a reunion. Denise comes back and argues with Rinna. Rinna tells her if she doesn’t like being on RHOBH then she should just stick to Bold and Beautiful. Denise says she is an open book. Really? She dips out of scenes and sends cease and desists all the time! Now she is saying she was never friends with Heather Locklear? Come on Denise! Dorit is fence straddling on the Rinna/Denise conflict. Andy brings up that Rinna has pushed for Bravo to hire Denise for several seasons. Denise cries.
Final Thoughts
Why is Andy dismissing Sutton. I realize she is a friend but there are just a few more minutes of the show and if I have my way, she will be full time next season. Garcelle said the most surprising thing to her about doing the show was that it wasn’t scripted. And it is not scripted but it is very heavily produced and production seems to just harp on the same insignificant thing over and over. Now grown as women are going to do nothing but talk about the same gossip for six months! They are going to gossip about ten other people in six months, or not gossip at all.

Kyle and Garcelle seem like there is hope for a friendship. Dorit seemed SUPER NORMAL this season and got along with everyone. Is that because she was dislodged from LVP’s ass? Because PK wasn’t around much at all? Because she needs a paycheck? Is she actually a decent (but insanely vain) person after all? Probably all of the about. I’ll be team Kyle and team Rinna forever though.

As sad as it was to see Denise in tears, it really was interesting to see her think she could continue to keep up this act.. as it was said before, she thinks she can use the same tactics to shut down stories coming out that she really is the scandalous character she played in wild things etc. but I don’t think the tears were fake.. I think she really did realize she lost any control of the narrative here and had burned a lot of bridges. Overall I got a sense she got talked into doing the show and couldn’t pass up the money but wasn’t willing to give it 100 percent. Sort of like a person who wants to quit a job but instead just finds some self sabotaging way to get fired.
That’s a really good point.
jjam you have a good point about Denise. I like Denise, but I do believe she lied about Brandi. I had heard Denise was paid more money than the others, that is the real reason they were so mad at her. I liked Rinna when she first came on this show, but now dislike seeing her relentless shit-stirring attacks. Hope Bravo does a deep shake up of RHOBH.
Feel the same way. Don’t watch BH because of Rinna. She is a horrible person that sets a bad example for her daughters. She needs to get off the show and take care of her family. Who cares if Denise had a sex with Brandi? Who cares??
No one cared she had sex with Brandi. The issue was the lying. Blatant, bald faced lies.
She’d behave one way, then flip a switch. Like saying her kid came to her about the threesome talk and was upset when footage showed her kid saying that she and her friends were laughing and thought it was funny. Saying she couldn’t have confided her opinions of the women to Brandi because they had only met 3 times when texts, tweets, and interviews indicated there was more there. Saying she would never had said horrible things then saying in her talking head that she had said worse to Brandi, and when confronted with that lashing out and saying they were vicious.
No hun, you got caught.
She would try to discredit Brandi by saying that, while they’d only met 3 times, Brandi had told her she’d slept with one of the other women but wouldn’t reveal who….that is crap 12 yr old girls do when being catty and trying to deflect.
Denise did not say she said worse about Teddy to Brandi. She said she had said worse about Teddi, and later she saw a she said worse to Aaron…not Brandi.
Sorry about the typos, but you get the gist.
Here is how I heard it, “I actually said worse sh— about Teddi than Brandi said i said.“ she did not say who she said the worse things to.
That’s the thing who really cares that she lied about it, or rather didn’t want to discuss it in front of millions of people! Did that really need to be the discussion/controversy of the ENTIRE SEASON? The woman she was accused of sleeping with isn’t even a part of the show anymore, so it’s not as if this “lie” was affecting their lives or the show whatsoever!! And the fact that they dragged her and attempted to basically ruin her marriage is why they are being called “mean girls,” because they are mean girls, I’m sorry mean middle aged WOMEN. Who should actually know better, and silly Rinna is the ring leader!
IS THIS REALLY ALL YOU HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT RIGHT NOW?
I agree with you about Rinna. I can’t even listen to all the hate she spews. I pray she is gone next year because she is not a good person. I also fast forwarded through everything about Erika. Denise is not very bright and is a bad liar but I think she is a good person. She adopted a special needs child and she took in and cared for children from Charlie’s other relationship. That tells me who she is in real life. Kind hearted but not conniving or fast enough to play at this level.
Not conniving???! Ask Heather about that!
I also kind of agree with MelG. I’m not sure if Denise is the victim or the predator…there are FACTS to support both theories.
GREAT points Angie, hadn’t really thought of it that way.
…Overall I got a sense she got talked into doing the show and couldn’t pass up the money but wasn’t willing to give it 100 percent…
Absolutely.
I liked Denise and was excited that she joined the show. I really wanted things to work out for her.
But from day one with her, I always felt like the show was just something she did on days when she didn’t have anything else going on. She always seemed like an outsider who wouldn’t deign to “get in the game” as it were.
I’m sure her tears were real, too. She may only be a mediocre actress, but the “dissolve into tears” routine is a time-tested manipulation technique that doesn’t require major acting chops to employ…just a desire to change the narrative and garner sympathy.
Denise was not paid a lot for her first two seasons.Most of these franchises have most favored nation (s) clauses and new people can never make more per episodes that those with more tenure. She has wanted on the show for years. But she couldn’t take the heat.
She made a deal to do 4 seasons $4 million, but is walking away from the $2 million because it’s not worth the aggravation. Because she’s an ACTUAL actress, and people are ACTUALLY interested in her life.
BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAH You ARE A CLUELESS Moron.
Yeah…when she lied about things she said -on aired footage- that they replayed… it’s strange. I think maybe she made a list of responses with her agent or something and used those responses regardless of the context (She kept reading something on her phone). When she said “Aaron said no, she couldn’t come (to whatever).” In the same breath as “ I didn’t ask him.” it’s so messy. I don’t get why Denise wouldn’t just decline to talk about it rather than digging an ever deeper hole for herself and making herself look nuts. Laugh and say “maybe I did maybe I didn’t, I don’t kiss and tell” and let Brandi look like the crazy one for pursuing the subject! If she has so much Charlie Sheen based pr experience, why is she acting like a 4 year old telling an elaborate lie when caught with her hand in the cookie jar?
Wondering how Lisa Rinna had hard copies of their cell phone text messages between Brandi and Denise. Seeing as Rinna said she didn’t like Brandi, how did she manage to have them ready for her to ceremoniously make a case against her friend of 20 years. I used to like Rinna. She was on full blast to her friend to shame and humiliate her. Go Google it – why bring in Heather Lockhear? Rinna didn’t have a story herself this season … she deflected to be a $hit $stirrer. Gave a real run for her money taking that crown from Teddi!. They dog piled Denise. Acted like small minded Bullies and nasty Bitches .. horrendous season finale ,,
TT – hope you and Banjo are doing well!
Because Brandi gave them to her after she found out she was cut from the reunion last minute.
This is why I try to stop watching. I think I’m out. I quit NJ and Atlanta (twice). I took a break for a bit from OC. I prefer fun escape from reality in my reality show viewing that doesn’t include so much yelling and overall viciousness. I miss the Family Van type of drama. Sounds ridiculous, I know.
I’m the same way. I basically have them playing in the background while I read and then FF through the fights. I’d say right now the only one I’m watching (all) is RHOP (but still FF through most of the meals bc they’re almost always fights).
I enjoy the show much more when we see the humor and fun between the women. All the continual silly upset gets very old. I really enjoyed Denise and was disappointed to see it go into a downward spiral. And Rinna, she has been a pain in the ass for so many series even though again I like her when she is funny. But by far the worst is when Brandi showed up again this season. Of all the reality show characters, she was the worst. Constant shit stirrer and no substance.
Family van… classic!
Thanks for the recap. I’m not a bot but was a little team Denise, probably because I don’t care about her lying, because who on this show doesn’t. She does choose crazy men. Peddling fake medicine I don’t like at all.
I can’t help but like Kyle even when she annoys me. She’s good TV. I’ve been re-watching Little House on the Prairie and both Kyle and Kim were on it.
Right. First time commenter, not a bot, promise! I just didn’t care if Denise was lying or not, because no one had a right to the information. I actually think it probably happened (although not in the way Brandi said it happened). But I was team Denise because she had a right to deny that. I’m sure she wishes she could have handled it differently and said none of your business, but she was caught off guard and left scrambling. Everyone would have tried to squash it if roles were reversed.
Denise just kept changing her stories, it was more than your basic lies. That’s where I gave up on her.
She did keep changing her story. I also have a hard time with the whole It’s None of our business theory. People were relentless calling Eileen a homewrecker because she had an affair with her now husband Vinny. Eileen was upfront and honest about it and it happened about 15 years before she signed onto BHs. Yet now we are supposed to believe the Denise/Brandi affair is none of our business when it happened recently and while Denise was a cast member. Double standard.
Yes, and Taylor Armstrong had her domestic abused broadcast on camera that she was obviously trying to hide…it was a very dangerous situation…but it wasn’t handled away from cameras. She had to deal with both being abused and Camille blasting it in front of cameras. Now, thirsty Camille is bitching about the women. Others have to face the music on camera. It is a reality show and I’m tired of hearing it’s no ones business ad nauseam. Denise was not in bed or the restaurant bathroom by herself, Brandi has every right to tell the world about her own experiences.
Totally agree with you. I can’t stand a double standard.
The Taylor period was really dark and dangerous. I get uncomfortable when the show starts outing things like abuse, closeted homosexuality, and federal crimes. People can do desperate things under those circumstances.
I totally agree with this and has been a huge part of my frustration with viewers that were so die hard for Denise and “disgusted” that they even included this story line. I believe that if it’s true, this story is just as much Brandi’s to tell as it is Denise’s to keep private. Clearly, if it did happen, they were not on the same page on whether or not they were going to keep it just between them.
Anyone think that Brandi really might have slept with another person on the show ? I think it’s season 2 when she first came on.
Who could be Team Denise with her reading a script for her other job while she’s doing this one? It’s disrespectful to the viewers.
Carlton Gebbia — I think that’s her name. “Witchypoo” was Brandi’s lover.
I think it’s Camille
That’s what I assumed also. Brandi may have said she slept with a cast member and Denise assumes it was a current member. Denise always seems distracted and she’s not very bright (God love her) so she could have actually thought it was one of the current women.
I feel like I am reasonably intelligent on a good day, and I assumed that it was someone from the current cast as well. Someone here reminded me about her affair with Carlton. So it could very well just be that.
She said both. Here (this group) and another cast member..
Its also real life which is what these shows used to be about
She was probably referring to Mohamed or something dumb that is already public.
I still don’t understand why the women have to be so mean to Denise for something that Denise said never happened. Even if it did so what?
So sick of hearing Kyle say tell the truth tell the truth. Did we hear the truth about the agencies lawsuit? Or Dorit’s lawsuit or Erica’s husband’s lawsuit? I don’t understand why Lisa Rinna is so horrible to a 20 year friend like Denise over something that doesn’t pertain to anybody but Denise and Brandy. UGG about the smug and arrogant Teddy! She Is boring. Garcelle has so much to offer for a storyline but she’s bullied for not going to see Erica.
I’d say none of the wives could talk about the lawsuits for legal reasons.
Yes, the first thing told to you by a lawyer is don’t talk about it.
Being held to account for your words does not constitute being “bullied”.
Maybe you think Garcelle should be able to spout her lies unchecked, but that’s not what reunions are about.
“Bullying” is a thing, but that ain’t it.
What lies did Garcelle tell?
She said she didn’t come to Erika’s show on Broadway because she is afraid of small planes. The Ladies told her the Gulf Stream is NOT a small plane and that another cast member flew commercial so there was always that option,
Then Garcelle said she had a scheduling conflict. If that was true why even start with the fear excuse?
Anyway, she could have flown in for another performance on her own when her schedule permitted.
She was not interested in being with the cast if cameras weren’t rolling.
People undergoing lawsuits are not allowed to talk about the lawsuits until they end. ESPECICALLY a family member’s lawsuit which they will not discuss on TV at all. LVP just lied out her pink asshole about her DOZENS AND DOZENS of lawsuits and they were barely mentioned on the show either.
Exactly! Everyone wanted to hear about these suits, but no one in their right mind would discuss the details of a lawsuit that involves their husband’s business, which they have no real knowledge about anyway. Ridiculous that all the little LVP sugars were calling them out on this last season.
LVP could always dish it out but not take it. She is a weasel and reports are she is also a horrible boss. Also reports are that she is tens of millions in debt and on the verge of it all collapsing on her. Couldn’t happen to a more deserving person, IMO.
LVP has been off the show all season, and l think its hilarious that y’all still have a hard on for her.
True. But the funniest episode of any Real Housewives I’ve ever seen is Potomac Season 3, episode 3 when Karen calls a “Press Conference” where she refuses to discuss her husband’s unpaid business tax issue.
1. It’s not a “Press Conference” when only housewives are invited.
2. It was in a steakhouse but she only served peanuts and tepid tap water.
3. She had notepads and pencils at each seat but said “No notes!” when Monique started writing.
4. When Ashley asked “Are you being indicted?” Karen gave a fake laugh and said “Is Michael being indicted for his ding-a-ling being on Instagram?” Ashley responds “Was THAT in the Washington Post?!”
5. Gizelle wore a t-shirt saying “#freeUncleBen” and “#tax reform.”
These are just the highlights showing how a person’s real life issues can be very entertaining without revealing anything about the case!
The women went hard for Denise because she attempted to turn the tables on them and was successful in many ways. After Denise’s denial was not accepted by the ladies and Bravo refused to edit out the scenes she wanted, she went on a social media and entertainment news blast against them. If Denise is petty enough to hire bots to go after TT, you can bet she hired them to go after the ladies AND Bravo.
I don’t know why so many viewers keep bringing up “the lawsuits”. It’s starting to have the same vibe as “the affair” with Shannon on the OC. Lawsuits really aren’t all that interesting. They usually take forever to litigate and rarely do they include the kind of juicy facts that they show on law shows on TV. Most of the women generally address lawsuits against them and/or their husbands on the show, but after that what more is there to say? Most of it is legally attorney-client privilege anyway. I just don’t think the fact that “the lawsuits” are not storylines on the show means that the women are being inauthentic or hiding their lives.
They were mad at her for acting prissy and running away. Instead they fixated on her allegedly talking shit, having sex and lying about it. The problem is they made such a huge deal out of all of the above, they ruined the show in the process. It also made me feel bad for Denise because none of what she did warranted going that hard. You can’t make someone tell the truth by yelling at them over and over to be honest. It’s called acceptance and letting go.
I’m not a bot and I am team Denise. Why? Because I Brandi admitted inadvertently that she did this to get her diamond back. She talked to Domonique Racquel for Celeb Chat on Instagram. “I enjoy doing things with the other women but I feel like the carrot has been dangled for so many years. They call me back for a couple things. I make no money and then they use me the whole season for their PR.”
Why is is this any of our business anyhow? Brandi is not a cast member. This isn’t the first time either that Brandi blabbed when she slept with someone.
Note: I am commenting on my mother’s addy. 🙂
So you have to use a new email for this post? Interesting. That said, there is nothing wrong with your comment.
I can’t get in to my wordpress / gravatar account for some reason. No matter how many password resets I do.
Besides Mom turned me on to your site and subs to your site. Just being honest. 😊
I have not been able to see a single episode of the reunion so thanks for this recap. I am Team Denise yet think this is the best possible outcome for her & Bravo. Andy treating her like he treats Kenya does not surprise me. He would do it much more often ( being mysoginistic) but I think he knows that Bravo is going to eventually hit the iceberg therefore needs to retain a sense of likability for his next venture. I hate Mellencamp but she will be safe next season as she has an ailing child & Kyle. I predict it will be Dorit and or Rinna who will be the focus of next season. I hope it’s Rinna. I have loved Rinna from her start on RHOBH & always wanted to see her as HBIC but after this season want to see her on the funeral pyre feet first & held accountable for her numerous bouts of betrayal , deflection & general shady behavior. Knowing how she operates would not be surprised if she gets the cast to destroy Dorrit instead.
No! I finally like Dorit! But I can see that happening as well.
Marc, I was not a fan of Rinna this season. I feel like only a few of us are team Denise, but for me it’s mostly not liking the pile-on every season.
I too hate the pile on. If
I wanted to see that I would watch wrestling. So uninspired and boring af.
Sorry I didn’t mean for my comment to reply to yours. I meant for it to come out as a new comment. My phone is so dodgy these days.
I also like Rinna. She is the only one that seems to have high energy and is always game for anything and is at every single event. If she wasn’t there to stir the shit, then it would be a really boring show – more so that it already is. Also, one of her girls (Bella, I think) outed Yoyo as not really having had Lyme disease, so she must be feeling pretty vindicated right about now.
You’ll be glad to know that you are wrong about Mellencamp. She’s out.
Wait, what? Is Teddi off the show next season? That might make it worth watching again.
Teddy is awful and self righteous. Lisa is a terrible friend. I don’t understand why Erika is SO angry. On her first season didn’t she get upset about the ladies’ behavior at her home in front of her husband- no children present?
I like Sutton & Garcelle, but Garcelle was MIA quite a bit.
I don’t blame Denise for lying if she did so. All the ladies lie about something. The ladies just kept piling on.
And the absolute glee that Rinna had as the #1 basher in the gang-up, what a horrible person. I don’t blame Denise either, some things are private whether are you are on the show or not.
Well who’d have thunk I’d be sitting here thinking “Wow! I really enjoy Dorit so much. She’d make a great friend!” Seriously. Dorit, Garcelle, Kyle, and Sutton really would make a great core group if they had any real world things in common. Sutton is so funny and real. I feel like production really shorted Garcelle by harping on the Brandi mess. Think of all of the episodes we could’ve actually enjoyed had that not been the storyline months before the show even aired! I really felt horrible watching Denise crying and holding back tears. She’s not a great actress, those were real tears and Lisa was so hard. Just not a good look. I’m always on the fence with her. I don’t dislike anyone; I just wonder what she’s really like one on one, when she’s not “on”. Erika looked fabulous. Teddi was boring. This season was truly wasted on an uncomfortable amount of pointless drama.
I agree with you that “this season was truly wasted on an uncomfortable amount of pointless drama,” but I find that’s been true for multiple seasons!
Some of the past nonsense: Whether Erika wore panties or not and whether P.K. peeked; what glass to serve champagne in; who took Dorit’s puppy to the kill shelter. (and who told Teddi/the press? Was it the first of second puppy?)
I’m so glad to see Denise go. I’m surprised they kept her til the end…guess they had to in order to finish out the storyline. She’s doing the same crap w/Brandi & Heather. She gave an interview about her friendship w/Heather yrs ago claiming it split before she hooked up with Richie. Now, Heather was a friend of Charlie’s???? BULLSHIT!!!
Rinna wasn’t so much trying to bring out the content of every text Denise had with Brandi, it was to show that yes bitch you were friends with her quit your F’n lying. Everyone one knows Denise & Rinna had been friends so Denise threatening to reveal Rinna’s texts is apples to oranges.
I’m still on the fence on Garcelle. I thought she tried to use Kyle as a storyline w/the bullshit about how Kyle treated her. Garcelle doesn’t pick a lane. One minute Kyle was not welcoming and the next she was admitting she hadn’t been around the ladies much (I’m referring to filming the season). Then, she didn’t go watch Erika’s show because of the plane. She had no clue it was not a small plane. Then, a minute or so later, that story changed. I see why she and Denise get along.
Another thing that irked me was one of the times Andy mentioned the legal papers Denise’s lawyers sent/served , and Denise once AGAIN tried to dictate what Bravo was allowed to show and said Brandi wasn’t a cast member they shouldn’t shot it. WTF?????? Bravo has always, on every franchise, brought back former cast to film with the ladies, or show mention of former cast.
This year it’s BYE DENISE!
I liked Garcelle up until that episode where she received that award (can’t remember what the award was called).
She dragged Kyle – again – for showing up at the ceremony!
That told me that Garcelle’s antipathy towards Kyle was completely irrational, and that there was literally nothing Kyle could have done to please Garcelle.
I mean, Kyle shows up = “she’s fake”.
If she didn’t show up, it would’ve been “see, she can’t be bothered with me / she doesn’t support other women”
Damned if she does, damned if she doesn’t.
Of course, it all makes sense now that Garcelle admitted that another cast member “warned her” about Kyle.
Garcelle let that Housewife manipulate her/color her perception. Consequently, she came hard for Kyle starting on day one and we ALL saw it.
I wouldn’t be disappointed to see Garcelle go.
Agree 💯
I am also glad Denise is leaving because she was barely there and didn’t seem to want to be there the few times she was. Hate Aaron; IMO, he is just is bat shit crazy and/or on drugs and scary with the possible abuse comment. Also, I really don’t care to hear about Charlie Sheen practically every time Denise has more than two sentences to say. Her laid back vibe but near obsessive need to control her narrative (bravo, bravo, bravo, etc) just don’t jive. She seems completely inauthentic when talking about and taking pictures of her husband’s body parts and happy endings but gets her panties in a twist over something that on air her kid said she couldn’t have cared less about?
I haven’t liked Garcelle since day 1. Besides her seeming to only show up when she felt like it, there is something just off about her – can’t put my finger on it, but she just seemed to be acting or something.
Heather WAS a friend of Charlie’s. They worked on the same show together. I wouldn’t take anything Locklear says to heart either. She’s not playing with a full deck these days.
I know Heather and Charlie were friends. Denise was also friends with Heather per Denise Richards. She admitted years ago that she & Heather were friends and that she started up with Heather’s husband Richie Sambora before Heather and Richie were divorced. Denise acknowledges in an interview she knew there would be repercussions. Now, at the reunion, she’s saying it was Charlie who was friends with Heather. She’s pulling the same shit with both Brandi & Heather.
Ugh, goodbye to another one note/gate type season. These women act like they went to the Microsoft school of Stack Ranking. They work furiously to eliminate anyone they can so they aren’t on the chopping block.
What I’m just wondering is why Brandi told Kyle and Teddy about her affair with Denise in the 1st place ? Im assuming it was to be vindictive and get air time .
What Exactly was this woman’s motive? Did Denise do something to hurt her? I remember she was crying when she was telling the story which I felt was just so odd .
This is Brandi we’re talking about . Not some sensitive shrinking violet . The whole thing is just very suspect . I do think the hook up happened but why was it anyone’s business for Denise to “Own it and tell the truth “
I also feel that things started turning sour when the women were talking so loudly and inappropriately at Denise’s party with a bunch of minors only an ear shot away. I thought the women were extremely rude and insensitive. Who Cares if Denise is a free spirit who was sexually open . That doesn’t mean that she wanted her daughters or their friends to her that crap.
Rinna and Company started to turn against Denise right from the beginning of the season .
So if she was talking badly about some of the women to Brandi I don’t blame her . Wouldn’t anyone in her situation ? The problem was she was so caught off guard by all of their accusations during dinner that she lied in order to protect herself . That’s what did her in. But the way they all went about confronting her was a really callous and cruel.
I really don’t think ostensibly that Denise is a vicious person .
Rinna is a piece of work. She stirs the pot and in my opinion is someone who isn’t to be trusted at all. I also think she’s very passive aggressive . Imagine being friends with someone for 20 yrs and just turning on them because they lied about something that had nothing to do with you. She was like a dog with a bone . She was relentless.
Watching her made me cringe . She was taking pleasure watching Denise squirm . Now that’s a great friend !!
Erica is another hypocrite . She can dish it out but god forbid you bring up something she doesn’t want to talk about (namely her son ) She flips out like a raving lunatic .
Kyle is Kyle . I’m wondering why you love her so much Tamara ?
I used to feel so sorry for Teddy when she first came on the show . Some of the women were so mean to her (Erica) .
Now I think she’s become extremely self righteous.
I really feel the kindest and most genuine housewife was Eileen. I just loved her . She wasn’t pretentious she spoke her mind and she was kind. We need more women like her on this show .
Ps I’m not a bot … lol 😂
My theory on Brandi coming forward with her story about Denise is it was for 2 reasons. First, I believe Brandi’s story that Denise lied to her about an open marriage and this really ticked off Brandi. Second, money. I think Brandi told Kim the story and they decided to share it with Kyle, maybe it would get them on the show. Getting them on the show would get them a few paychecks. We all know they could use a paycheck.
It was purely for money. I don’t buy her whoa is me act. Remember at that party where Denise and Brandi were together and Brandi kept hitting on Denise and asking for a tropple? If she was so upset then why did she act like nothing was wrong? Denise and Aaron seemed annoyed with her antics
If Denise was so worried about the “minors” at her house and what they heard she should not have started the risqué talk herself when she took the conversation in that direction with the big penis talk AGAIN.
Denise started the talk about others. She bashed Kyle to Garcelle & Rinna in the SUV at the start of the season. She is the one who would not let the threesome talk go. She approached 3 of the other ladies separately about it. No one could figure out who this Denise Richards was…talking big dicks one minute and bitching about what the other women talked about the next. None of them could figure out the hypocrisy prior to Brandi & Kim at Kyle’s house. Thus, Brandi led in with Denise not being who they think she is, “be careful,” she’s talking about the other women, and then divulging their sexual encounters.
I want to know what is in the text messages between Rinna and Denise that Denise kept threatening her with.
Of course Denise was lying.
Yea if Denise actually had anything she would use it…look at all the lies she pulled out of her ass to support her narrative. There’s a difference too. Rinna was trying to prove the point that Denise is a lying LIAR that had claimed to be friendly with Brandi then turned it into an “acquaintance.” We all know Rinna & Denise had a friendship. Rinna was trying to show that that many texts over that long of a time period is more than an acquaintance.
Also, I’m sick of the semantics bullshit …Denise trying to say friendly isn’t friend…no one said best friends, but it was damn sure more than an acquaintance.
I think Denise showed her hand with the threats against Rinna because she eventually pushed about whether Rinna liked Brandi. Rinna was honest about disliking her honest about disliking her and it sorta deflated Denise’s persistence about “revealing their texts”. I think Denise thought she had something on Rinna because Rinna probably messaged her about not liking Brandi. Rinna wasn’t gonna fall for that. I don’t like how aggressive Rinna has been but Denise was trying to play games under the guise of not participating in their games and it backfired.
Teddi is the worst. Ever. The worst irrelevant bitch and I hope she comes under fire next season. I will nit be watching.
There is one VERY EASY WAY to determine what happened when Brandi went up to film the podcast. Ask the production team from the show Denise was working on if Aaron were around that weekend! I THOUGHT I had seen an item on the Bravo website about Brandi and Denise watching a movie and eating popcorn or something, but it doesn’t come up.
STFU Teddi! I hope you get dragged to Kingdom Come for your stupid Accountability diet!
What did Teddi do????? The hate she receives is so played out like tell me something new for once!!! Lol
Teddi is relevant enough for you to take the time & energy to spew hate towards, so…
Maybe not so irrelevant after all.
There was a lot of stuff on the Internet about Teddi’s ‘”high cost starvation diet plan.” Apparently, clients can only have 500 calories a day and need to document everything they eat and send it to one of their “coaches” and prove they did an hour or so of cardio a day. I wasn’t really paying attention but it did seem like a starvation diet. I mean, that’s like THREE BEERS A DAY! lol.
3 beer a day diet??? 😂😂😂
I might could commit to that!!!
But that’s 8 1/3 shots of tequila!
I’m not getting all the hate for Teddi. I’m ambivalent.
or half a sleeve of oreos a day, another thing I can do easily.
LIAR! No one can just eat half a sleeve of Oreos. Once you open the sleeve, it’s impossible to stop half way! 🙂

Sorry to answer for you Nanette. I felt inclined because I think Marc lives at the other end of my state and you’re probably still sleeping.
I’m Team Denise or maybe I should say was because I despise liars. She simply should’ve handled things differently.
Thanks Dee
Much appreciated. I live in the suburbs near Boston.. Are we neighbors ?
Take care new friend
Warmest regards
Marc
You may get your wish. She’s being raked over the coals over her “accountability coaching” business. There have been many complaints about it.
I’m glad this is finally over! Denise still lying till the cows come home. No surprise there with her side kick the other liar Garcelle. 1st it was I have a fear of small planes, then her ex had changed his schedule so she had to stay with the kids etc! 🤷 Bullsh_t that bimbo is full of sh_t! Ever since she went after Kyle because she didn’t kiss her a_s that pissed me off! She’s a phoney and a baffoon! Dorit I find unbearable & a malignant narcissist. Gawd almighty this moron is in love with herself. Sutton is harmless but she has issues. Teddy doesn’t bother me at all & has grown to speak up!👍Rinna tried to stay out of it until Denise pulled the sh_t, “well Brandi said she slept with some of you”! Talk about pissing anybody off! Those are fighting words where I come from!! Erika told her truth and Denise sat there and took it just like Garcelle! LMAO
Peace 🙏
Glad to know! the teddy hate is so tiresome like we get you think she’s boring whatever blah blah blah I like teddi the hate she receives is so unacceptable, Glad Denise is leaving I felt sorry for her a bit cause I think she was hurt overhead Lisa Rinna Friendship.
Excuse #3. Didn’t she also say she had to work? I did not take to Garcelle. I didn’t think she added much to the show.
It’s tiring to hear, fire Kyle, Teddi, Rinna and Erika! All the Denise/Garcelle fans can push for them to have their own show but not take over the RH as they suggest ad nauseam. Have fun with that people!
I like Teddi and Kyle’s friendship. So weird that others don’t. To me it’s natural and easy going.
It was obvious Denise wasn’t being 100% forthright but Rinna going so hard after her was too much. With friends like that who needs enemies? She displayed zero loyalty. Even though we know what went down, to bring up Heather Locklear was grimy. It had nothing to do with the show, and was a real gut punch to their friendship. I was thoroughly disgusted. If she cared about their friendship, Rinna shouldn’t have gone their and not let Denise be blind sided by Teddi.
That’s what Rinna & Kyle have in common. They fight dirty and bring up stuff that has nothing to do with the dispute. They both did it to Kim Richards by bringing up her alcoholism and substance abuse. Kyle did it to Garcelle by bringing up the auction payment.
The difference is Kyle masks her viciousness in tears and “standing for what’s right” character. Rinna just goes in hard.
I’m bored of the target one person & pile on them formula EVERY season. If it’s more of the same next season, I’m out.
I love Rinna and I pretty much agree with you but I think she got sick of all the lies. AND THE THREATS some of which were on ON THE REUNION IN FRONT OF GOD AND EVERYBODY. So Denise likes to throw the rocks first and hide her hand.
I never really spent much time on celebrity gossip until I sort of fell into writing this blog. Even I know about Denise Richards and Heather Locklear back in the day. Denise was accused of breaking up her very good friends marriage causing both women to get a divorce and Denise suddenly start denying they were friends and rand straight into the arms of Richie Sambora . Denise contacted Brandi and I believe that the point she was trying to make is that Denise loves to send cease and desists when people who are your friends suddenly find out you are not the person they thought you were. She also tried to play down her relatioship with Heather saying they were not BEST friends… when people trolled her for stealing her best friends husband of over a decade (with children) because she got horny when she and Charlie were going through divorce. It was a big story in the rags 10 or 15 years ago. Denise gets around just like Brandi. So Heather reached out to Brandi in sort of a “girl, i’ve been there kind of way”
I used to be a voracious reader of gossip mags. I recall reading when news broke about Denise & Richie Sambora that Heather Locklear & a bunch of her girls drove past Denise’s house blaring “You Give Love A Bad Name”! Lol!!
Trust, when I heard Denise was joining the cast I wasn’t excited because I was team Locklear. I just don’t like them pounding her over and over about something that’s none of their business.
Garcelle said a lot of negative comments about Kyle the whole season but you’re going to say Kyle is fighting dirty about the “auction payment?” Interesting
Yea they knew her dig in her speech, on a stage, on camera was directed at Kyle. Then, her comments about Kyle being the least welcoming only to later say that was the only name she could think of???? It won’t bother me if she does not return.
Yup. Kyle fight dirty in general. Ask Kim Richards about being outed for her alcoholism in Season 1.
Kim Richards needed help with her alleged drinking/drug use. She was a mess and We saw her fall apart right before our eyes! I’m sure Kyle was at her wits end dealing with All of Kim’s issues. I’m sure she saw many things we did not see and we saw a LOT!
Why should Rinna care about Denise and their friendship when she doesn’t even care about the health of her family. It’s all about making money for Rinna. She’s stated this many times.
I am not a bot! The only reason I watched RHOBH this season is because of Denise Richards and before that because of Lisa Vanderpump. I personally believe they should get rid of everyone but Garcelle, Dorit, and Sutton and bring LVP, Denise and LaLa from Vanderpump Rules on the series. Build a new cast because I will not be watching next year. It is way too boring. Brandi Glanville was the biggest mistake the whole season. She is a USER!
I think Lisa Rinna was horrible to Denise. I agree with friends like her you do not need enemies. What a total “B” she was this year! Very disappointed in her actions. She should have warned Denise but you know Bravo was in charge of it and that not happening because they would not have a storyline. Gaslighters Teddy and Kyle. We all know Lisa needed the paycheck. Lisa obviously got her panties In a wad about something and took it out on Denise. She is JEALOUS of her and it was obvious!
Teddy is a bore and so judgmental. Erica is just cold and brings nothing to the show.
If RHOBH franchise is going to survive, they should do everything possible to get Denise back and negotiate with LVP too. JMO!
Definitely time for Denise and Garcelle to go. Denise because of her “bravo, bravo, bravo interruptions (and creepy lying) and Garcelle for not paying children’s hospital. So wrong, so wrong.
I want Kris Jenner. Maybe Kathy Hilton as a friend. Keep everyone else. They bonded and really supported Erica on Broadway. I loved that. I think that would be such a fun season. Great parties and trips.
Agree!
I sometimes wish we could move housewives to other franchises. It would be interesting to see Sutton with the New York women. Move Denise to the OC group. And secretly I still wish Fancy Pants was still on RH. I would like to see Heather on Beverly Hills!
I think that is a great idea! I will not watch RHOC anymore because Vicki and Tamara are no longer on it. It just isn’t the same. How far is the OC from BH? Something to think about Bravo!
Kris Jenner? Seriously?
Why?
Every excruciating moment of her life is well documented over on another network. Just turn the channel and you can have Kris Jenner out the wazoo all day every day.
I have no interest in seeing even more of her on RHoBH. That blink-and-you-missed-her appearance at Kyle’s party was enough.
KrisJenner is not my favorite. She cannot save RHOBH. Richards and LVP is what they need or NeNe and Vicki.
Kris Jenner is not my favorite. She cannot save RHOBH with Kris Jenner. Richards and LVP is what they need or NeNe and Vicki.
Abhor Mellencamp & her less than a thousand calorie diet. She is safe thos this season i.e Kyle & Dove. Andy keeps her in hope of getting A list John Cougar Mellencamp cameo. With Dove needing surgery perhaps he will make an appearance. I feel bad for that child & it’s the only reason Teddy gets to keep her diamond.
I am in no way inferring that Teddi’s accountability coaching is a cult. The use of texting/taking pictures of food and exercise, and the mandatory checking in seems similar to what is being depicted in The Vow – the life coaching/sex cult in disguise that the NXIVM organization undertook. Teddy has mentioned that her business expanded ten-fold due to new coaches signing on – it would be interesting to learn more and see if it has grown as a pyramid scheme.
I notice everytime Camille or another famous person tweets about Teddi, Kyle shows us fast.
Camille is desperate for that diamond back. Kyle has been dealing with Camille’s shit since the beginning. She overcame a lot of BS to even become friends with Camille for a time. I really don’t blame her for telling Camille to move on or get a life. Camille broadcast Taylor’s abuse on camera…something that was both dangerous and extremely embarrassing. Last season Camille sided w/LVP (who she claimed pushed her to expose Taylor’s situation). This season she sided with Denise. She comes for the other women ad nauseam. She is thirsty AF!!!
I really wish they would have covered Aaron and Denise saying they’re being followed. Aaron is either on lots of drugs or just plain crazy, and we will never get to explore that now. That was the most interesting part of this season.
I’m pretty sure Aaron is certifiable. He seems like a bad dude. He threatened his wife with physical assault, and I’ve been side eyeing him since he jumped from one marriage with a wealthy starlet to another. There is more going on than meets the eye.
I hated Garcelle. Sorry, not sorry. She tried picking fights to make herself relevant, but she failed every time and looked like a jerk. Teddi does nothing for me. Her only function was to stir shit up at dinner with Denise. I still love Kyle and Erika. I will never like Dorit. She’s as phony as they come. Rinna is the ultimate mean girl at this point. I’d like to see more of Sutton.
So over Rinna, Teddi, Erica and Kyle
They have ruined this show with their mean girl mentality.
Who cares what Denise does in her own bed.
Erika, Kyle , and RInna dont have to address those issues.
Never thought I would like Dorit, but they have made it happen.
Would love to see Camille back next year, with Sutton and Garcelle.
The rest can all go kick rocks.
They have runied the show. being bullies.
i DEFINITELY do not believe Denise….HOWEVER lisa rinna was just too much. i really thing its time for her to go and i think its time for a big cast change up. Rinna is just to angry….Teddy is boring as all heck…dorit was fine and i dont so much mind kyle…then Erika is so stone faced and has the attitude thats shes too good to be there. just miss when it was a younger group who actually all got along. i feel like thats the issue with all of the franchises now. they all used to be friends and get along and now the show has shifted more to “who can create the most drama”. i miss the good old days of early RHONJ
its just not fun to watch anymore. looking forward to Salt Lake and hoping atlanta is a bit better this new season
When, exactly, was this time when they were “all friends and got along”?
Season One, RHoBH:
▪️”You’re such a fucking liar, Camille!”
▪️Dinner party from hell
▪️”You stole my goddamn house!”
Season One, RHoNJ:
▪️Everybody vs. Danielle
▪️”Let me tell you about my famb-ily…we are thick as thieves…”
▪️”Prostitution Whore!! //flips table//
These shows have NEVER been Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. They have always been contrivances to create conflict. No conflict = no dramatic structure = no viewers.
Thanks for the recap TT because for the first time in a decade I didn’t watch 1 second of this reunion.
If social media and all of the blogs any real indication of how viewers feel then I’d say Bravo has a big decision to make.
I like Kyle but it seems I’m in the minority and that most viewers hate Teddi and Lisa Rinna so it’ll be interesting to see who’s on next season’s cast.
Does anyone know how this season’s ratings compared to last season?
Why was my comment deleted? I don’t think I broke any rules. I just don’t like Rinna and The gang up against Denise for something that is just SOOOOO minor. If that’s why my comment was deleted then that’s weird.
The Housewives franchise has sure learned how to beat a dead horse if the past few seasons of RHOBH is an example. Puppygate was annoying enough, but this season with the “did they or didn’t they have sex” crap really pushed me over the edge. I don’t care if they had sex. Someone is lying, and I don’t care which one it is because it’s none of my freaking business. I was over it as soon as Kim & Brandi just happened to show up at Kyle’s while Teddi was there so Kim could return some dresses to Kyle because, of course, there was no other available time for that to happen. Brandi blurting out the secret that was so heavily weighing on her — something that would otherwise never have been on camera — gave the women the opportunity to run with it and spend the rest of the season dragging Denise for what exactly? I don’t believe for a second that this wasn’t a setup by production, Kim, Kyle & Brandi to try to blindside Denise. Do I think Denise is lying? Probably. Do I think she could have handled it better? Absolutely. Do I think that if I hear Rinna scream “Own It.” one more time I’ll stab myself in the ears? Yes. Do I want Kyle to stop telling everyone to be honest even if what she really means is tell me what I want to hear? Yes, a thousand times, yes. I would have loved to have seen more of Erika rehearsing for Chicago instead of wasting so much time on something so irrelevant. I would have loved seeing Sutton doing her high-end shopping. I would have loved to see Garcelle hanging out with some of her actual girl friends doing things actual girl friends do. I hope next season will focus more on the cast getting along instead of selecting a cast member for the rest of them to attack.
I’m not trying to argue at all but I’m really trying to understand why so many viewers feel like the Brandi/Denise Hook-Up should not have been a story line at all. Is it because it’s between two women? Would you feel the same if one of the women hooked up with a man? Is the topic just too salacious? Too private?
I just don’t get why a lot of viewers are willing to forgive the fact that Denise is so blatantly and badly lying. Not just about her relationship with Brandi but just lying in general.
Exactly! Think about what others have endured. I was surprised Russell did not kill Taylor when Camille outed the domestic violence on camera. THAT was personal, embarrassing, and VERY dangerous! Bravo has brought Brandi on multiple times since she held a diamond. Denise pulled some of the same shit w/Heather that she pulled with Brandi. If they had sex, Brandi has every right to discuss it whenever and with whoever she wants. Denise looked like an idiot saying Brandi wasn’t a cast member so it should not have been shown. Bravo has been bringing back former cast members in every franchise.
No, scb, I’d feel the same way if some guy had shown up at Kyle’s with Kim and said he had sex with one of the women. I just don’t like blindsiding people for a story line. Denise wouldn’t have had to lie if this little meeting of the minds hadn’t taken place.
Not loving Garcelle. Phoney. Kyle was very welcoming to her and I felt that “glazed over” thing was Garcelle trying to have a storyline. She also went after Kyle at the event honoring her when Kyle showed up. Shes phoney – Asked why she didn’t support Erica on Broadway and at first she made up the small plane excuse and then she was working and then busy w/kids. Busted!!! Throws daggers out there – Rhinna dancing, Rhinna taking away from Erica. She was rarely there and always working. Don’t need to see her co-parenting her kids. Defended Denise a bit too much for my taste – Denise caught in lie after lie. I’m not defending Rhinna! She’s vile and should be gone.
I think the biggest victim of this is Brandi, She was always the one trying to be part of the cool kid gang at school but never really accepted so they get her to do all the crap they wouldn’t thinking at some point she would be accepted.
Bravo has 3 good shows, Top Chef,Project Runway and Million Dollar Listing. The Housewife shows have been turning into Jerry Springer ever since Teresa flipped the table and Bravo saw the ratings. It was entertaining at first but now it’s just sad to watch these gang ups. I only enjoy Sonia because she has the funniest sayings. She had some classics this season. I have wanted to get away from these shows for a while now but there isn’t much on TV these days so I find myself tuning in. I might give the new one a try but if it’s just more Springer I’m out.
Best case scenario for next Season would be Denise, Garcelle and Dorit truth cannon Lisa, Erica and Kyle the whole time. Honest.
I had to watch this in installments. It was just awful.
It is official.
Andy Cohen IS A MEAN GIRL-
Just like Mean Girls:
Kyle, Teddi, Erica, Lisa Rinna
Watching Andy and the Mean Girls attack Denise Richards constantly at the RHOBH reunion was disturbing.
So disappointed with this terrible RHOBH Season due to hearsay, rumors, slander, lies.
#TEAM DENISE
WTF. Disturbing? Then, I suggest you NOT watch George Floyd’s arrest video.
Bot bot bot bot bot bot bot bot bot bot bot bot bot bot bot bot bot bot
Go get fucked, “Team Denise”.
You know, with Aaron’s big D that we had to hear about ad nauseum…(assuming he’s not too busy being followed by “Big Pharma”, the CIA, the KGB, and Jimmy Hoffa)
I d not want to come across as a complete UFO here but I had no idea who Denise Richards was before watching RHOBH, I blame it on that I am european and live in France.
Soo I wanted to know a little more about her as it has been so confusing to try and understand what has been going on under the surface this season of the show and found some clips on Youtube from WWHL
Clue for watching the same videos: lillipop and apple scenes. I was actually shocked.
Lisa Rinna lost a lot of credibility for me this season when she told Amelia Grey that she was the smartest person she knew. On another note, I actually think it’s possible Denise is in an unhealthy relationship, and might be scared. We all know her marriage with Charlie was probably a nightmare. It’s not very typical that a person easily moves from abusive relationships to healthy ones. It happens but it takes a lot of work. I can wrap my mind around the women going after her during filming (although I don’t agree) but after seeing how Aaron spoke to her and reflecting on how he spoke to them it’s strange to me that they cannot seem to understand why Denise might be treading lightly this year vs last, and why she might be lying about certain things. But these women have a hard time considering others positions. They weren’t considerate of Teddy’s pregnancy, they clearly don’t have much sympathy for Garcelle’s schedule as a single working mom who probably makes a fraction of what they make given pay inequity between white and black women, and it doesn’t seem like it penetrates for them that Denise has the kind of husband that would threaten to crush her hand when she asks him calmly to not engage.
Hmmm.. your thoughts on Denise have given me a new perspective Mmmmmmia. I think the reason I didn’t consider this myself is because Denise tends to call the shots about when they leave events. She has no problem saying “Get up, we are leaving NOW!” But what if Brandi’s revelation put Denise in physical harm?
Brandi cares about no one but Brandi. Brandi is a hurt girl and she hurts other people as a result. Her story about this has changed so many times I don’t know what to believe. Denise’s story has changed repeatedly too. Brandi’s sole purpose for this entire Denise debacle was to get back on RHOBH and she doesn’t care who she destroys to achieve that.
Every time Brandi is hurt or put out about something we hear about it for years. Denise was an idiot for even speaking to her in the first place. Brandi is a kiss and teller, just ask Gerald Butler. Also Brandi was a loose cannon long before Denise was on the show.
I really hope Denise isn’t in another abusive relationship. She does seem to be the main breadwinner in the family. I’m just all over the place with this subject.
As I said before, next up for Brandi is the Danielle Staub treatment by Bravo.
“I’m just all over the place with this subject.”
SAME.
At the dinner in Rome, Denise looked like she feared for her life when Teddi really had to point out the Brandi-story. I find that horrible to do to anyone.
Has not the #meetoo movement taught anyone anything?
If this is what is really going on, I feel bad for not picking up on the signs.
Tamara, No you didn’t miss any signs from Denise. There was no sexual abuse or sexual harassment happening in this story-line. There are real victims out there with real stories, Brandi and Denise having or not having sex is not one of them. Pixa is reaching.
I am not dismissing any possiblity.
I don’t know. He seems awful, and the situation seems like it has the potential to be emotionally abusive if not physically. She did allegedly say, “Aaron would kill me if he finds out.” She also demonstrates signs of trauma, running from conflict, distraction/avoidance when she clung to her scripts instead of finishing a conversation. And the way she smiled through the segment about Aaron when he threatened to crush her hand, you could just see how hard she was trying not to cry. I just feel like you never know what people can handle or why they might be lying, so unless their lies are slanderous to you, sometimes you have to let it go. I don’t know what the circumstance is, but I am worried for her.
I don’t think I’ll be watching this show anymore. Every year it’s the same tired story of ganging up on one woman for something stupid. It’s tiresome.
