Blind Item: No Need To Buy The Book

June 7, 2021 by tamaratattles 42 Comments

Lionel TeaI’m making this a blind because I don’t want to use the name of the book or author for legal reasons. However, a book was recently published about topic that would interest most all of you. Many of you have sent me emails with links to posts about the book. NOTHING I have read in those posts so far is true. NOTHING. Most of the stuff I already knew to be false, particularly with regard to salaries. Oddball claims I ran by my exclusive source and my source found it hysterical. This is more of a PSA than a blind item. PLEASE DO NOT MENTION THE AUTHORS NAME OR THE TITLE OF THE BOOK in comments. Just thought you might want to know.

    OK, got it. I’m 95% sure I know which book you’re talking about, and I’ve also been wondering how their “exclusive gossip” lines up with what you actually know is true. What’s so funny is that the book has been hyped up on other blogs/vlogs as “stuff the Bravo suits don’t want you to know”, yet we know the author themself has a very cozy relationship with certain insiders (including at least one Housewife), so I had a feeling they wouldn’t air too much dirty laundry in the book.

      I think I’m on the same page with you. I saw hype about salaries, info about how air flights are handled, etc. I started to email TT. I figured if there was much truth to it she would let us know. I read other sites (for the absurdity sometimes), but this is the only site I actually accept info as fact, or facts per reliable source info. There are sites TT has clued us in on that it’s more comical to read there. There’s one that I honestly read when I am bored to see whose posts are being ripped off (they like to post things as exclusive when it’s obvious where the info came from and never is credit given). There are a couple of sites she’s mentioned knowing personally and said they were good to her when she started her site so I do feel there is legitimacy w/their posts, but I usually run it past TT for verification if it’s a cast member or subject I give a damn about (and that list is shrinking). TT is Queen when it comes to reliable info and her inclusion of her personal life in her posts is the icing on the cake. I also love her purple pen she breaks out sometimes.

        The purple pen is always gold! I agree that this is for sure the most reliable and her take is always great.

    It’s that new book about the housewives franchise that just came out about a week ago. I’m curious about it. Would read it for pleasure but not take it as gospel.

    If you don’t know this one, that is fine. It just means you don’t need to know. You won’t be falling for the hype.

    Thanks for the info. I see a lot of Bravo stans tweeting about it like it’s the best thing ever. almost like they were paid to promote it.

    Good to know…. I honestly am not a fan anyway especially with their favorite association now… I also have tried to read recaps before of theirs and always felt like the person was trying too hard. Rather read your honest and non millennial witty recaps of course!

      Honestly, I have no idea who he is or what he does. I didn’t know he was a recapper. I thought he must be from one of those Vlogs or YouTube or I dunno.

        Maybe I am thinking of the wrong person. The one I was thinking of appeared in a few episodes to promote a previous book. This one recaps for one behind a pay wall that is trendy so you know have to throw in trendy lifestyle stuff instead of real life relatable stories

          I don’t know anything at all about the author. All I know is the book is complete horseshit. I only know that because people were linking me to bizarre nonsense.

    There’s really zero new info but it is entertaining. I got through an audiobook thing and listen to it when I don’t have any podcasts available (end of the weeks are swamped). It’s has been fun remembering some of the good ole days of housewives.

    I believe this, but the author is a pretty talented writer/recapped. I’m not bored enough to get a housewives book, unless it comes from the book swap at the dump.

    I dislike the writer tremendously and they should not be writing recaps for the show on which the person appears for which they already ghosted a book, considering the situation! Very bad form!

      Oh and the ā€œauthorā€ has been around for awhile. He’s slithered his way into a few of the So Calif housewives’ lives. He really is a nobody in my humble opinion.

      Feel better TT!!!!

    I always enjoyed Brian Moylan’s writing until he sold his soul to Erika Jane. I lost all respect for him after that.
