I’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.
Good to know!!!
Thank you.
I’m lost? I always learn a lot from comments. TT, glad you’re feeling better?
I never realize how clueless I am until you post one of these blinds.
Thanks Terri, I feel better, LOL. š
That’s funny, Cheryl B. I felt better when I read your comment too, lol.
LOL, spirit animals š
Oops…….
Absolutely!
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 Iām 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 itās more comical to read there. Thereās 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 itās obvious where the info came from and never is credit given). There are a couple of sites sheās 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 itās 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.
I miss the purple pen!
I am still clueless šŖ
Well that was clear as mud! ***clueless as always***
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.
I feel out of the loop but oddly happy to be thereš¤£
Exactly. I try to stay out of calling sites out for bullshit. But writing a book is a whole nuther thang.
Annebelle I feel the exact same way!!
Is this the ghost writer stuff thats been circling?
Thanks for the info. I see a lot of Bravo stans tweeting about it like itās the best thing ever. almost like they were paid to promote it.
My source responded when I asked him about the more off the wall stuff was basically, “Who is this idiot?”
A big fat zero as to every word of this. Geez. I don’t get around much (on the internet) AHA!!
If you don’t get it, then you are doing everything exactly right. š
Good to knowā¦. I honestly am not a fan anyway especially with their favorite association nowā¦ 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.
Yeah that makes sense. The author is that type who would rather be sensational instead of honest
Thanks for posting this. I know exactly who youāre talking about.
Thereās really zero new info but it is entertaining. I got through an audiobook thing and listen to it when I donāt have any podcasts available (end of the weeks are swamped). Itās has been fun remembering some of the good ole days of housewives.
I got it. I read it in a day. I returned it to the library. It wasn’t good.
Iāve been reading TT since day one. She is always spot on smart and loyal. No reason to read anything else or any why else
Anywhere
I think I may have bought the book…
I believe this, but the author is a pretty talented writer/recapped. Iām 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!
^^^ this!!!!
Like a big sucker I bought it and wish Iād seen your post first TT! Donāt waste your money!
Oh and the āauthorā has been around for awhile. Heās slithered his way into a few of the So Calif housewivesā 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.
