It’s been a physically grueling and emotionally draining day here at Chateau Tattles. But, it was also very productive. I even took a shower! Anyway, I mention that because this RHOBH recap will probably be plodding and completely lacking of wit. Also, while I am off topic. I can’t tape RHONJ at 9 tonight because the fuckwits has it set to tape for two hours. So, I’m recording the 1 a.m. rerun instead. If I catch a second wind I’ll recap it then. However, it most likely won’t happen until tomorrow. Thanks for understanding.
Tonight’s RHOBH looks like it’s going to be irritating. Or maybe I’m just irritated because some assholes call me ONCE AN HOUR trying to sell me fake health insurance. They have a million different phone numbers and they are relentless. I told them to stop the last call. If they continue I’m just going to vent my anger by calling them a string of profanities. I think this will make me feel better. š
Garcelle is off to meet up with Kyle to confront her about the miscommunication (?) over her donation at Kyle’s charity even. But first, production wants to play Erica Jayne’s “It’s Expensive To Be Me” song while she flaunts all the fashions she allegedly received at the expensive of widows and orphans. Don’t worry daring. It’s not expensive at all to live in federal prison. Perhaps you can share a cell with Jen Shah? Sutton shows up to see Erika’s ginormous closests ….AND HER GUN COLLECTION? They start off the season as fake friends. That will not last long. Sutton is building a house on her own with her ginormous divorce settlement. She married VERY well.

Garcelle and Kyle meet to clear the air over lunch. Kyle says she started off really liking Garcelle until Garcelle started shading her. Kyle wants to hug it out. However, Garcelle is still pissed Kyle said she didn’t pay her charity obligation. And apparently she didn’t because now she has a excuse that they contacted her at “an address she has not had for years.” How did that happen exactly? Kyle says she knows that Garcelle is a good person and she took care of the payment right away after that discovery. Yay! We can all move on. Except, we can’t. Garcelle wants to play the race card. Then she explains why it felt racial and it makes sense. Kyle gets it now too. They move on to other topics Friendship mended?
Wheels Up!
Based on the previews, I already hate Crystal. Blah, blah, blah. She brags a lot. What I do love is her house. Especially her yard. And her housekeeper, Lucy…and her beautiful children…and her brother. But Lucy needs a lot more camera time. But, It’s time for the ladies to head to Lake Tahoe. Garcelle, ever the professional arrives at her call time. So,Ā she is repaid for this by having to film alone with Rinna, who she still views at untrustworthy. Perhaps she is Garcelle, but they all are. Kyle arrives next. Garcelle learns that these ladies pack like they are moving away. This is Kathy Hilton’s first girls trip ever, not just for the show. The gang is all there. Off they go on a private jet. Garcelle doesn’t like to fly. It’s probably just the small plane.

The house has 17 bedrooms and 18 baths and sits on 15 acres. It has a movie room, a game bar, a sports bar, an indoor pool and hot tub and a personal chef! PERFECT for a Covid filming. On the down side, there is a bear problem so you can’t live the sliding glass doors open on the first level. I’m out. I’m booking the first flight home. Hell, I’ll hitchhike home. I love that the ladies have to carry their own luggage to their rooms. Perhaps now they will see how ridiculous they are? Nah. Where the fuck are they going to wear all these clothes they brought. Its. A. Lake. House.
Unintentionally Blackened Salmon
Kyle is happy that her relationship with Kathy is good again. I’m really quite fond of both of them which makes this situation very upsetting to me. Early on in my blogging career I had some private online interaction with both of them and they were very sweet to me.Ā Kyle takes over the kitchen and makes the personal chef her sous chef. Crystal is the bartender. She makes a mean margarita. I love that Kyle dresses like a normal person. I know you guys hate Kyle’s wardrobe, but I love it. Oh no, Kyle burnt the hell out of the salmon. I blame the sous chef. Everything still looks delicious. Apparently, Kathy and Kim call Kyle “doogie.” Also, Kim has always liked to “torture” people. Erika and Sutton continues to bond over their Georgia roots.

After dinner, the ladies play two truths and a lie. In that game we learn that Crystal worked at an escort agency as the phone operator and they wanted her to be a madam. Erika’s three statement were, she wore a wire and was a witness in a government case, she’s adopted, and she used to work for the mafia. The truth is she is adopted. She won’t say which one is the lie. Rinna refuses to play because she is not a good liar. Both Garcelle and myself just laugh and laugh. Kathy has claimed all three of these to be true already. But, I don’t think she was a real dental assistant. I think she just terrorized her childhood friends as a “dental assistant.” But, Kyle says they are all true.
The Third Shift
The other ladies go to bed but Kyle, Crystal and Sutton stay up for more drinks. Oh, Garcelle and Rinna have a little powwow. Garcelle, once more with feeling, tells Rinna that she doesn’t trust her. I feel like production was upset there was no conflict the first night. So, they’ve sent Garcelle to beef with Rinna. Why do they do this? I’m sure they will argue tomorrow. I hate Garcelle’s blue hair in her confessional. But they basically, make up. Meanwhile, Sutton tells Kyle that Garcelle just wants everyone to be real with her. But, if you are fake or try to call her out, that doesn’t sit well with her. Kyle tries to defend herself by explaining the charity donation situation. And how Garcelle explained stereotypes to her.

Crystal jumps in and says that it’s hard to put yourself in the place of a culture you don’t understand. In the clip I saw it seemed like Crystal was the problem. But she is not. It’s Sutton. Sutton is very defensive and not listening. My DVR is crapping out at the worst possible time. Wow, Sutton I was rooting for you, we were all rooting for you. And you can’t listen to your minority friend explain her experiences?
Next week: Garcelle tells the group, that includes Paris Hilton’s mother and aunt that she hated when she was on the show because she was always on her phone. Somethings are better left unsaid, Garcelle. And despite having a palatial estate, they somehow still manage to take their show on the road and go to a restaurant. That never ends well.
I can hardly wait to watch, as I love Tahoe. If nothing else, I’ll watch for the scenery porn. In years past, I was up there during this time of the year. Damn, I miss Tahoe!
Otherwise, it seems like nearly everyone is just waiting for the big moment (on the show) when the news breaks about Erika’s divorce and her soon-to-be-ex’s “legal trouble”.
That photo of Kyle looks like Meredith Marks!
I donāt like Crystal. She does this little smart ass smirk in her confessionals that bothers me. Like when she said sheād never used a flask.
Right! She acts so uppity and I don’t care for that.
She is doing herself no favors. Crystal seems quick to judge & is giving off a very cocky vibe. Maybe its first season jitters but I am not enjoying it. Loving Kathy as a friend she seems warm funny & a bit quirky which I love in a housewives cast member. Hoping the season is better than the past few seasons. Great recap T.T.
Thanks, twin! My very brief experience with Kathy let me know that she has a great heart and really loves her sisters. I’m loving her on the show too.
I like Crystal. I think the flask comment was directed to Sutton as we already see Crystal doesn’t get along with her. I loved seeing her family and her brother seemed so cute. Once I saw the pop-star clip that was pretty interesting too! And her housekeeper is probably the true breakout star this season; I hope they show her more too! Telling Crystal the dress was ugly. Lol!
Yes, I love Lucy!!! I wish they would woupd have shown her package last week. I kinda like her after this.
I also like Crystal. She seems to be very smart and articulate and fun! What an adorable family and I love her relationship with her housekeeper.
Joining the chorus! I also like Crystal.
YESS! Me too! Come on guy snark is what the confessionals are for!!! Loving Crystal – and her housekeeper is the new Zoila! She knows how to laugh at herself – look at herself with her family!
I live 45 minutes away from Tahoe. Installed a few Hot Tubs up there. Don’t worry TT bears aren’t bad. What’s bad are the dumb ass tourists who leave food/garbage that attracts bears. Why there are so many signs about locking your garbage cans
Agreed!!!
I hate tourists, weekend warriors we call em. Never pick up after themselves. Do they think there is this nature maid service that cleans up after their sorry asses. Everytime I see em I see Betty Draper from Madmen when they just left their picknick trash behind and left. Good luck with traffic this weekend. Love that area too, but traffic keeps my ass in West Sac!
I lived in the Reno/Tahoe are for over 15 years. I used to picture a Far Side-ish cartoon with bears in a cave grouped around a calendar marking off the days until Garbage Day.
I donāt see why people rip Dorit for her āwhatever-it-isā accent, but no one says shit about Erikaās fake upper crust accent. She is from Georgia for fuckās sake. That vocal,fry sounds more peckerwood than classy. Either way, at least Dorit has spent years in Europe and Europeans, which when a person does, creeps into your everyday speech. Erika is just a snob trying to make up for her peckerwood roots and actions!
Her voice is grating!
Erika is so F.O.S she worked for the mafia and was a witness is a federal case. Erika stop watching movies and exasperating your life”…..well maybe the little hill billy did work for the mafia as a whore.. I hope they take the $20,000.00 Chenclea mink away from her to pay back some of the widows and orphans that SHE and he husband stole from.. sorry about my Spelling
I loved watching Dorit drag all the suitcases in the house. I’m not a Dorit fan at all.
Erica’s voice changed, maybe polyps from Chicago, or chain smoking but its definitely gotten harsher since her first season. I don’t mind Dorit, her accent is just who she is.
Actually, her fake accent that comes and goes is not who she is at all. She may be even faker than Erika. And it would not surprise me at all if she and PK go the way of Tom and Erika.
Divorce or lawsuits?
Yup. As someone who is also more of an “auditory” learner, as opposed to a “visual” learner, I could see how this could happen to me if I lived in places with different accents. It can sort of “sink into your brain”. I’ve always felt that between living with a man with a heavy accent, and her time living in other countries, that this part of Dorit could be real.Erika’s accent (like everything else about her), is much more “rehearsed”. I’ve never quite gotten the Dorit hate.
I feel like Dorit’s accent is put on because she thinks it makes her sound “rich.” HOWEVER, you do have a good point. I have this unintentional reaction to people with accents where I sometimes respond in their accent. I can’t seem to stop myself. I mean no offense, it just happens.
I so far HATE Crystal. Shut up!! She thinks sheās so flipping cute and wonderful and perfect, blah, blah , blah. Loving Kathy Hilton! And Sutton. I now realize this was filmed before the news about Erika broke. The fire alarm is how I know dinner is done also. Why does everyone hate on Kyle?
Was there a timer in the kitchen? I live by mine when I cook. I don’t like being tied to the kitchen, so I just set the timer. Also, when you are on the computer, time really gets away from you.
Lol, there was that chef that cut up the cheese platter š¤£ I cant believe she severed that. Pasta looks good though, simple recipes are always the best!
I am with you, I do not care for Cyrstal either, I do not like the way she came for Sutton. I like Sutton everybody’s experience with racism or lack there of is different. I understood what Sutton was trying to say, who wants to talk about race all the time, give me a break and I am Black. I would rather enjoy the ladies in a lighthearted fashion. I thought Kathy was funny. I do not know why people hate Kyle either. I am sure she has done her share of shifty deeds but who hasn’t, Kyle is not a nasty villian like some other people.
Initially, I thought Crystal was being a dick when I saw the preview. Then on the show I thought Sutton was. In the SEASON previews, Crystal seems very angry with Sutton. So I currently am not sure what is going on. But, I’ll probably side with Sutton. We shall see.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Garcelle and Kyle (thought the situation with Erika is very disappointing). I felt like Garcelle was “playing the race card” at first. However, once she explained some stereotypes I was not aware of, I understood why she said what she did. I think most racist people are just unaware of people who are subjected to racism go through. I live in the south with a lot of racism but I didn’t know a lot of what she was experiencing. I hope Garcelle and Kyle can get along this season, mostly because I wish Kyle would listen to Garcelle more instead of supporting Erika.
I kind of hate that these shows are focused on COVID and racism and all the things we want to forget about when we watch trash TV. But I have to say that both Garcelle and Crystal were willing to educate rather than accuse in the end.
Speaking of disturbing news coming up in our shows we watch for a break from it all. Is Queen Sugar on hiatus? I don’t think it had taped for a while.
Season 5 of Queen Sugar ended a couple months ago. Since last season was my first season, I’m not sure what their normal schedule is. I’m catching up with all the seasons prior to Season 5 on demand. Season 5 was clearly a “COVID” season- the themes of all the episodes were around COVID and social justice (following the death of George Floyd).
Since I’m not sure how many seasons there are per year of Queen Sugar there usually are, I can’t answer your direct question, but it does seem Season 5 just ended a few months ago. And it is my passionate obsession.
Thanks my cable box is giving up the ghost again. And I may not have realized the finale was the finale. But it is an EXCELLENT show if anyone is looking for something to binge. It’s on OWN. And if you are start from season one, I am jealous.
Thank you for the awesome info! Just love your web page HUGS
Aw. You’re welcome!
I like this episode, I think it was the whole girls trip atmosphere. I laughed so hard when the title card came on for Erika and her ā expensive to be meā song came on. Shady shady production. Iām starting to like crystal but I just donāt like the bragging, plus a part of me doesnāt want to like her because in the back of my mind I keep saying āyou have Brandiās Diamond.ā I didnāt like that garcelle used the race card on Kyle, I thought that was cheap shot to get back at her. So let me get this straight garcelle can talk smack/shade kyle all season and yet when she mentioned something to garcelle, kyleās the bad guy/villain!? Thatās wrong! Omg Iām loving Kathy more and more. I thought the best part was her talking about her fan, even in the confessional the producers play the fan noise while she was talking lol good job production. I think for season 12 they should explore more of the relationship between the three sisters! I love how playful Kathy and Kyle are with one another! And Rinna Shut up about Kim torturing you over the years you started it when you were questioning her sobriety and itās just been back and forth ever since! Over all a beautiful house, so amazing! The last scene I was not a fan of, Iām glad Kyle was talking to crystal and Sutton about her issues with garcelle. This why I wasnāt a fan of it personally I think it was the wrong time to bring it up race when drinking because when alcohol is in the picture things can get heighten especially when being up race or political. There is a time and a place but not when your drinking. Overall looking forward to the next episode!
Btw I forgot to mentioned. Iām glad we didnāt have that much Door It (as Kathy calls her). Phaser her out like did with taylor back in season 3. Garcelle needs to let it go with Denise she is no longer on the show because she ran away and stop being her lapdog! Rinna is such a good liar because back in the mid 2000ās she did an interview with Wendy Williams on the radio and she mentioned she was good friend with Denise! I forgot to include all this after I finished š
Got it! I agree with you about Garcelle making the racist jab to Kyle. I said, ” Oh No! Don’t start this race shit! ” Also, if Garcelle was a famous as she thought she was (“I was in Coming to America”) the staff would’ve recognized her. Done with her also…and I concur with Door It comment. She brings nothing to show…her grifter ass.
Garcelle’s example about being overlooked at the restaurant had anything to do with fame. It’s about black people sometimes getting poor service because they think we won’t tip so why bother providing good service. It has happened to me more than once.
Thanks for that aqua. I never knew this.
Yeah it’s the little things like that that need to be spoken about to be understood in my opinion. I mean I almost understand Suttons frustration, we all have stereotypes thrown at us, but when our stereotypes aren’t based on our skin colour is different. It’s not visual bigotry. Noone is going to call Sutton a redneck until she starts behaving like a redneck. I feel like that’s a huge difference… Imagine people judging you without you even opening your mouth. No amount of education, success, fancy clothes or fancy accents is gonna change that bigots opinion of you, because you’re there’s nothing you can do to change it.
As a gay man Im thankful every day that I can grow a beard and lower my octave a little when I need to “fit in” or get out of a dangerous or uncomfortable situation. I could never imagine life without those survival tools.
That said I feel like at this point if you behave the way Sutton did on, then camera you’re looking for attention. Adverse or otherwise. Its a very strange way to behave in public in 2021. Christ, even if you do have some weird internalised racism or bigotry, she should have the intelligence to shut the fuck up infront of a camera.
We were rooting for you Sutton. We were all rooting for you.
Just 3 days ago here in Orlando I left a restaurant mid meal. I went to the hostess, asked to pay my bill and as I waited a staff person called the police, telling them that I was belligerent, drunk and causing a scene and didnāt want to pay. I didnāt order alcohol and was treating my daughters to dinner for finishing the school year. What happened was after I was seated, the waitress didnāt come to my table for 20 minutes but went to everyone elseās more than once. Not even to take my drink order. I had to waive her down. When she came and took the drink orders (I put on a timer) she came back 23 minutes later with drinks. Asked what we wanted and it was a very simple order, no appetizers. 45 minutes later the food arrived cold, but a couple arrived next to us in that time, had their drinks and apps before we got our food. Mind you, she didnāt offer to refill the drinks in that time and she had a very nonchalant attitude when I asked. I told my girls to leave the food and I then went to the front, saying I was unsatisfied with my service and wanted to pay. Not even 10 minutes later the police were there. I was terrified, thinking it could escalate and I would be harmed and that my children would be scarred for life. This is not the first time Iāve been discriminated against in a restaurant setting but in the future if I donāt like the service I will leave earlier. What garcelle talked about happens to people of color all the time. Itās why white restaurants in New Orleans close every year during the black festivals and conventions āfor refurbishmentā.
OH. MY. GOD.
I want to believe you are making this up. But I live in Atlanta and it’s the home of all the rich black people. I clearly need to get out of my bubble. I’m so sorry this happened to you.
Tamara I am so happy to hear you like the way Kyle dresses, I love her style as well. She always looks like a classy lady and not over done with the designers names, she is understated and I like it. I also like her new nose it looks great. This episode was good, I think I like Kathy she seems free spirited and lively.
I didn’t watch this episode, but TT thanks for the recap. I’m assuming from several comments that Kyle got a recent nose job? I only saw Kyle’s new nose in the above photo, but I don’t agree it looks great. It looks too small to me and emphasizes her jaw too much. What was wrong with her old nose? It seemed fine to me.
Kyle’s nose is too small for her face. She looked better before.
We live in Tahoe on Nevada side about 15 minutes from (SLT) South Lake Tahoe. The rental they r in is up behind Heavenly. These morons stuck out like idiots dressed like that. Tahoe is denim, sweaters, tshirts, jeans or shorts. Sneakers or hiking boots. NO furs you POS Erika. The only touristy places are SLT and there you encounter the asshole drivers and idiots who drive around like fools. They are also noisy, drunken and unruly who leave their garbage all over. Locals HATE these types. You can spot em a mile away. The bears donāt bother me. Iāll take a bear over these plastic, self involved wanna be idiots any day. God, I canāt stand them and yet I watch. Will they go to the casinos and gamble? Rent a boat? Time will tell….
I spent most of my Hot Tub installation days around Carnelian Bay, Kings Beach and Incline Village. I still go to locals only Tahoe spots when I can. Tourists have only gotten worse since Covid started
Michelle, I think that some might read this comment as “elitist” for lack of a better term. But I get it. And I am far from the “elite.” I did however live on Saint Simons Island for a couple years. It’s a small beach resort town. We called the tourists, terrorists. LOL. That was back before it would have been even more insensitive. But the bridge from the mainland would be packed and it was hard to find parking anywhere and well…. it was just a much lazier, nicer place in the off season. But even then, my non-elitist ass showing up to dinner at the fancy restaurant felt… looked down on. It was this fantastic restaurant that I could walk to and the had a different menu for every season. It was really nice and I’d just show up probably sweaty from the short walk. lol. That was the second favorite place I’d ever lived (after Tripoli).
I’m just blathering on to say, I get what it is like to live in a tourist city. It’s kind of a “GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY WAY, I LIVE HERE AND AM TRYING TO LIVE MY DAILY LIFE!” lol
I would feel very annoyed if someone like Sutton did, bought gifts for everyone in a group and make such a big effort like cosumizing the items. It is kind of a controlling thing to do (and in front of cameras!), so I actually get Crystal’s comment about the flask, fir anyone has a single bit of pride and dignity this feels forced on to oneself.
I think Garcelle is the MVP of RHOBH and maybe she can save the franchise. She is very direct and talks to people one on one when she has a problem with them.. no season long vendetta to bring a single person down. She doesnāt put up with bullshit and Rinna and Kyle both know it.
Suttonās remarks at the end of the episode were gross. Poor little rich white woman whining that someone may mistake her for a hillbilly because of where sheās from…like thatās something someone can know, or see, about her immediately. She sounded so ignorant in that moment, especially after a summer full of high profile police killings of people of color.
She was drunk and acting a fool. I will give Sutton another chance.
I agree, drunk and tired; it was really late at that point.
I really like Sutten however l feel like she was really out of touch in this situation. I agree she sounded really ignorant especially given what was occurring and still is with police brutality towards black men as well as the terrible violence towards Asians in this country because of Trump’s racist rhetoric. Sutton needed to simply listen to Crystal and not shut her down.
I agree. We all need to do more listening and less judging. A lot of people seem to think that it is not their job to educate racist people. That’s a mistake in my opinion. Conversations like the ones that happened on this episode, as awkward as they were, helped to educate people. If you are fortunate enough to have friends of other races and cultures, there is a lot to be learned from conversations amongst friends. Nothing will be learned if we keep screaming at each other. The same thing applies to talking to Trump supporters. You can’t go in saying HE’S A PIECE OF SHIT THAT HAS RUINED THE COUNTRY. You have to just let your blood boil silently and be receptive and not argumentative.
I’m not very good at that. LOL.
I could not agree with you more on that, TT. Screaming, or obnoxiously/aggressively/constantly trying to force a perspective down people’s throats, changed no one, ever. It just makes them resentful, more angry, and drives their feelings and views “underground”, where they fester and grow more dangerous. When it comes to the tough conversations about race and politics in this country, it seems that, collectively, we seem to have forgotten the art of civil discourse and debate. Social media and the dynamic of “keyboard warriors” has a lot to do with this disintegration.
I had a hard time with burning the salmon then serving it, like Kyle is a better cook than a professional chef. Thanks for burning dinner you arrogant so and so.
Totally agree. Especially after bragging non-stop what a great cook she was. No one ate the salmon — it was all left on their plates. Give it a rest, Kyle.
“The race card”??? Really? Glad your racist self thinks you know more about dealing with white women as a Black women than Garcelle. SO gross.
I may very well be jumping to huge conclusions here, BUT, am I the only one that thought Erika was implying she wore a wire for Tom’s case? And that’s why she stated she already said too much and wouldn’t say more? I over analyze everything that comes out of her dirty mouth now…
No I don’t think that was it
I read someone else make that suggestion too. If she got away with her involvement by doing that, just would not have been done — unless she found out where the money is. But she knows, really, as she spent it. Also, so cute that Mikey tried to pretend that designers were giving her all of those clothes so that Erika can protect them from her creditors. All such lying liar faces.
Can’t stand Ericas attitude considering.
Garcelle is exhausting.
Kyle is Queen .
I like sutton( I have a soft spot for southern women).
Dorit has grown on me like a bad rash (her children especially that jagger is too cute.)
I don’t think I will see it for Lil’ kathy but time will tell.
Still indifferent about cristal
Crystal’s brother is a Hottie.š
Also agreed about the race talk and teach in every franchise its become annoying and I am also a black woman
The photo of Kyle at the top looks so much like LVP!
I wondered if the āwore a wireā comment was referencing Tom too. I donāt think he has actually been arrested or charged with anything though. He has only been sued by ex clients, business partners and creditors. TT you are the legal expert – is there a federal investigation too that she could have worn a wire for? Maybe thatās why Rinna, Kyle and Dorit are supporting her so vocally?
Maybe all the husbands /friends can get together and buy a wing of some federal prison dedicated solely to the housewives. I think it would be appropriate and save everyone a lot of time and money since it will always be in use.
Wait!!!! Erika said she wore a wire for a federal investigation!!!! Maybe that’s what has happened with her husband! She wore a wire for the feds!!
I don’t think this is her first encounter with the FEDS. I don’t think she wore a wire to incriminate her husband. But she might just be that evil. But MAYBE SHE DID? I don’t think the timeline really adds up… but it might.
Ok who is not enjoying the shade from Bravo showing old seasons of people at their worst. TT I’m sure you’ve mentions this but has Erica been crappy towards show producers, etc.? Like they are pushing the shes unclean and abusive towards people agenda. Rinna, I dunno shes taking this soap opera lifestyle to heart too much. I’m not friends, we are friends, sheesh moral police get your story straight. Oh and does she wear wigs full time now? even her tried and true cut seems a but momma Dee like. Kathy seems like a odd fit, kinda like Kim was, not feeling it at all. Sutton, girl, keep your mouth shut!
Is anyone tired of all the thirsty girls bragadosha ?
Why the heck would I Kyle serve burnt food and then complain that no one ate it? Anyway, Sutton should have shut up and let crystal speak. Crystal seems like a snob but Iāll give her a chance. Iām like Kathy but I thought I wouldnāt because of what Iāve heard about her. It was laughable that Ericaās tribe was saying that her clothes were gifts from designers. Who does she think she is? An a-list actor? Just stop.
When Garcelle explained to Kyle why she was offended, I thought she did it in a thoughtful and kind way and of course Kyle never meant it in that way but it helped her understand why it stung G so bad. But with Crystal, she jumped down Suttonās throat and was so aggressive. I really think S was just trying to have a normal conversation about a topic regarding her good friend and this complex dynamic, and all of a sudden Crystal makes it awkward and aggressive, why??? S thinking, why the heck is the conversation going here, my God. And C interprets this as racism, somehow and blows of on āYou better not believe in color blind societyā… or what Crystal? You going to be furious for no reason? What a weirdo. And who cares if Sutton did believe in MLKās dream of a color blind society. Crystal can believe and feel how she wants, but MLKs color blind society meant looking at people not for the color of their skin, but the content of their character. The CRT enthusiasts donāt like it because they want everyone to see skin color first, attached to CRTs determined meanings associated with every person ātypeā – oppressor or oppressed. Personally I think thatās racist. Maybe Sutton sees all people as children of God, who knows, but whatever she feels I donāt think sheās a bad person or was being racist or naive about racism at that time or anytime. She was having a conversation to explain a friend to another friend. Crystal was like a pit ball looking for a fight. I really hope this season cools it on the racism and covid lectures. This is supposed to be an escape.
