There were lots of minor news stories in the Bravoverse today. Nothing really worth it’s own post, but since I am enjoying a recap free night while watching good things on TV. BTW, QUEEN SUGAR returns tonight on OWN! Also, American Crime Story also premieres tonight on FX. It’s about the Clinton impeachment and looks juicy! My DVR is busting with good shows this week.
Gentle readers, I have devastating news for you tonight. Amelia Hamlin and Scott Disick have broken up. Who knew that could even happen! Apparently, once some private texts between Scott another one of Kourtney Kardashian’s, Younnes Benjima were posted publicly by Younnes. It seemed both exes were a wee bit upset that Kourtney and her new beau, Travis Barker were sucking face all over Europe. Amelia posted a photo of a girl in a tank top that read “Don’t you have a girlfriend?”right after the texts were made public. And that was the end of that travesty. Lisa Rinna posting a smiley face emoji in the comments of some websites Instagram who was reporting the story. #thoughts&prayers
I mentioned in the RHONY discussion post tonight that Ramona Singer was in Aspen with some west coast housewives for a Jazz festival. cough superspreader cough and that Ramona told Kelly Dodd that she was not willing to be photographed with her because of all the haters on social media that get attacked for associating with her. Kelly understood because Shannon Beador has getting lots of heat for posting photos with her.
If you missed the RHOSLC videos I posted today, they are worth a look. I meant to include the horrifically bad taglines but forgot so I will drop them here. I think Mary weaponizing Jesus is probably the most abhorrent one.
Jen Shah: “The only thing I’m guilty of is being shahmazing.”
Whitney Rose: “In a town of beauties and beasts, there’s only one Wildrose.”
Lisa Barlow: “You don’t have to like me, I love myself enough for the both of us.”
Jennie Nguyen: “I have plenty of everything, including opinions.”
Mary Cosby: “If you come for me, I will send Jesus after you.”
Meredith Marks: “I may be known for my ice but I always bring the heat.”
Heather Gay: “I was raised a Mormon but now I’m raising a glass of champagne.”
Briana Culberson and her husband Ryan Culberson, had a gender reveal meeting for their fourth child on Facetime and Vicki Gunvalson was watching. They shot off those stupid guns and pink stuff came out. After having three boys in a row, they were thrilled. Vicki was thrilled everyone was thrilled. Vicki posted a photo of the pink stuff announcing the gender. And Ryan lost his everloving mind. It was like Vicki had posted that he had an STD or something. Apparently, he wanted to post it to his social media first. He missed the big announcement. He’s always been a douchebag. So he threatened her by saying, “It ain’t smart, Bear. It ain’t smart to piss off the one that knows everything… and I know everything.” One big happy family.
That’s all the tidbits I remember from today. And the bottom just fell out of the sky here AGAIN. I’m so worried about falling trees. It’s been raining more often than not FOREVER. The ground is saturated. 🙁
We all know Vicki. She would do so even if she was told not to. Normal behavior is to tell people you know. Who wouldn’t be excited?! But not your job to spread to the world. I agree that there’s absurdity with gender reveal stuff. $ better spent in diapers. Ryan has a history of this behavior. But reel it in, not a good luck. People need to get off social media.
Ryan is kinda a d-bag (I don’t use that term much….reserved). I would love to see him get pissy enough to put all Vicki grossness out there – but he appears to love his wife so maybe he won’t……hey – I’m ok that Vicki has in-laws that seem like warm on her, I’m proud of her son for getting vaxed ….. I despise her and her shrieking
Ryan is just so unpleasant and I worry how Brianna is doing
Yep….but when your mom
Is beyond unpleasant you prob have a low bar
(Note to self: my mom is also beyond unpleasant……my hubby is only a poop sometimes…)
Yeah, Ryan overreacted again. Damn, he’s such a hothead. I just hope he’s not as prickly in private as he is on camera and on social media.
With that said, Vicki has been saying and doing a whole lot of dumb shit lately. She’s outed herself as an anti-vaxxer, she’s promoting her boyfriend’s ridiculous “gubernatorial campaign”, and she’s still huffing and puffing and whining and complaining about losing her RHOC orange after she herself failed to prove why she still deserved one. If any RHOC producers are still entertaining any possibility of bringing Vicki back to the show, I hope they now realize that she’s just not worth it.
As hard as it is for me to agree with Kelly Dodd-Leventhal on anything, I do think she ultimately came around to see Vicki for who she really is. I guess it takes one to know one!
Oh I forgot to mention that Vicki may or may not have Covid. She is saying she has a “weird cold.” She’s supposed to be on the next Mashup that should start filming soon. I’m sure they are going to ask her for test results of Covid during this “odd cold.”
I can’t believe they will let her film unvax ….. I mean…. I guess I believe it – it’s just not smart for crew, cast, humanity
If they film in NY, she will have to vaxx or be exempt.
Haha! Good. Is Vicki going to claim a health or religious exemption? Haha! She’ll get vaxed to get back on tv and make money!!
I have a feeling Ryan is a gazillion times more prickly in private. Jussayin.
I agree!
First, thanks for the reminder about Impeachment. I just set my DVR. Do you know if it’s just a one-nighter or is it a mini-series? Second, those RHOSLC are HORRIBLE. Third, Brianna’s sperm donor is the absolute worst. I see he’s not improving with age. Hope the weather clears up for you. Las Vegas has been hell. Temps of 107-108 for the past few days and there doesn’t seem to be a cooling trend coming any time soon.
American Crime Story is a series that takes on real crimes and has basis in facts but is also slightly fictionalized. They first season was OJ Simpson, the second was the murder of Versace,,,,THAT ONE WAS REALLY GOOD. This is the third one.
I keep my fingers crossed in anticipation they will feature the Von Bulow saga Claus’s trial was my first foray into televised court trials. Sunny Von Bulow Newport Rhode Island heiress put into an irreversable coma ( 35 years !) & 2 court trials trying to determine its cause. I LOVE AMERICAN CRIME STORY !
The Von Bulow case is one of those “truth is stranger than fiction” ones. If you’ve never read Dominik Dunne’s piece for Vanity Fair, it is worth whatever work it takes to find it. As he learned new info and was passed secrets, he continued to comment about it in VF. No doubt what he thought happened.
as close as your nearest interlibrary loan (in convenient book form) – dominick dunne, justice: crimes, trials, and punishments. 2001. chapter 3, fatal charm: the social web of claus von bulow. i’m also certain there was a movie with the same name starring glenn close and jeremy irons. don’t remember who played alan dershowitz but he was really good.
Reversal of Fortune! It’s a really good movie. Worh a re-watch. Jeremy Irons is great. I remember Dershowitz teaching a class around the trial, forget the actor as well. I think it’s from like ’90, ’91. Good stuff.
To the post, I don’t know now Brianna does it. Growing up around it, I guess, but ugh. Miserable to live with someone that pitches fits all the time.
Ron Silver played Alan Dershowitz in Reversal of Fortune.
I’m from Rhode Island and that Van Bulow trial happened when I was in high school. It is all anyone across the state could talk about. It was actually exciting for out little state. It would make a great American Crime Story.
As for the SLC taglines, they are the worst ever! The fact that Jen Shah is on the show is insulting to all those she scammed…and the viewers.
I absolutely love these shows. OBSESSED. Can’t wait to watch this new one- it was such a huge part of my late teens. .
Monika is a producer (something like that) on the show. Power to her!!! I didn’t get it at the time (bc I was young), but 19 is sooo young and a president showing interest…..
I have to post here in defense of Briana’s husband Ryan. I thought he was the biggest douchecanoe ever when he went off on Lydia’s fairy glitter-dusting mother for putting her feet on Vicki’s couch. What we know now is how Brooks was treating Briana; likely Ryan was disgusted with Brooks AND the entire RHOC production crew. During much of that time, he was deployed and apart from his family — stress.
The reason I defend him is that when I was learning about keto, I contacted Ryan on IG. He was always kind and courteous and generous with his own keto experiences. He NEVER tried pushing his keto products on me. When I ASKED about some of his product affiliations, he shared his opinions. He has positively responded to EVERY DM I’ve ever sent him. He is VERY supportive of Briana. And, so far, he hasn’t maimed or killed Vicki — I call that a great son-in-law. #redemption
I agree with you. Yes, the scene with the fairy duster was a bit much, but this man has put up with Vicki’s shit for years now. Sometimes you take shit from someone and take it and take it til the inner volcano is ready to erupt and it just doesn’t take much for the lava to blow. Vicki has never been one to think that the rules in life apply to her. I personally thought it was shitty for her to post their news before they could. I just thought it crossed a line. She’s such an attention whore.
Ryan is a jackass and it is sad that Brianna keeps procreating with him.
I agree! Always thought of Brianna as a level headed, sweet, smart kid when she was in high school and college.
Expected her to be with somebody the complete opposite of Ryan; an engineer or doctor maybe. He never seemed her type; too rough around the edges. I guess they’re good if they are having a fourth child? That’s a lot these days.
AGREE!!!!
MelG, I agree with you. If Vicki was my MIL I think I’d be positively homicidal by now.
If Ryan is your Keto go to person… Le sigh.
I kind of wonder if Ryan acts like that towards Vicki on behalf of Brianna. Like he says what she wants to say so he will take the heat…
I just hope the children are not on the receiving end of his aggression.
He takes his overreactive anger too far.
I’m. No. All you have to do is watch the episode where he threatens and curses out an older woman over her feet on a couch. PSYCHO.
the flip side is lisa vander pump not saying anything at the time to adrienne maloof who left spray on tan on lisa’s white couch. lisa said she had to have the couch recovered. adrienne just brushed it off(see what i did there?) with a shrug when lisa mentioned it. i would have been psycho at adrienne not picking up after herself.
Adrienne’s spray tan! Lol. Those were the days.
Ryan is a beast. Enough said. I am in the minority but I love Brianna. Hardworking smart with a great sense of humor. Keeping up with the housewives offspring she Gia Melania Lexi Frankie junior & Danielle Staubs daughterss are my all time favorites. I love watching them all grow up on my television screen. Say what you will but the RHONJ kids are all great people !
He’s horrid and a POS and literally put her on the Keto diet. The Keto people (sorry Nanette) are rather cultish.
I find him quite scary…I sensed “controlled rage.”
She put herself on keto to see if it would help with her lupus. NEWSFLASH: It has! Briana has her own IG where she talks about it. Just look at how her skin glows. She hasn’t looked so radiant in years (perhaps moving farther away from Mommy Dearest helped too!).
I am so happy for Briana that she (finally) is having a girl. Those boys crack me up, but a little girl will bring a different kind of joy. Briana deserves that.
🙏🏼 for a healthy and easy pregnancy and delivery.
That, or he thought she was too fat and they are selling keto products. 6, half dozen..as they say. Anybody that explodes at the drop of a hat is one to be watched, carefully.
Vicki is the worst, but she really did raise her kids to be hardworking and independent. I am sure they are scarred in other ways. Makes be sad for Briana that this is her mother and her husband…but unfortunately we all gravitate toward patterns in our life, some are destructive
I feel like Don raised her kids…what they got from
Her was learning how to manage an explosive, manipulative person. When you grow up with that as a parent – it can help you as an adult – it also is scarring
The sneak peek for RHOSLC looks good but dear god who approved these tagline. They are all clunky and plain not good.
I was watching an old RHOC episode and I saw Ryan was wearing a “Don’t Tread On Me” t-shirt. At that point I knew there was no hope for him. He & Kelly could be great friends. Most grandmothers are excited about their grandkids. I don’t think Vicki was being malicious, so his response was way out of line.
Brianna blink twice if you need help.
Vicki is awful, and it would be terrible to have her as a mother-in-law and have to deal with her. She should have asked permission before posting their big news–but she thinks only about herself and getting attention. All that is true no matter what Ryan is like.
The SLC taglines are pretty bad, especially considering how good last season’s were. “This rose isn’t afraid of a little prick”.
Except Lisa’s. Her delivery is exquisite. She totally wins this one. Jen’s is also outrageous and thus pretty good. Mary’s is almost there but not funny or meta enough. The rest are lame.
And yeah, the last thing Ramona needs is pictures of her and Kelly hanging out. And I can imagine Vicky revealing the gender of Ryan & Brianna’s newest baby being only the very tip of the iceberg in that family saga.
Lisa’s tagline is my favorite. I love her confidence.
Speaking of non-Bravo TV … Starting Thursday is the new Tyler Perry series, “All the Queen’s Men” (BET). Eva Marcille stars as the madame of a male strip club, and one of the strippers is … wait for it … Bolo. So Eva is starring in a REAL series and Porsha gets her crappy spin-off. The one she hooked up with Simon to ensure filming, after dumping the Hot Dog King, which potentially put her show on the chopping block. Who’s winning?
Thank you for that info!!!! About to DVR it now!!!!
It’s on BET+? Does that require a subscription? I hope not.
OK, BET+ is $9.99 a month, so I won’t be watching….LOL….I have enough streaming services I’m paying for already.
I thought this was going to be on BET. It looks like it is just on the streaming channel.
That picture of Jen Shah is pure Cruella Deville. It’s been bugging me for awhile as to who she reminds me off. Scary as hell.
Vicki is a psycho and if the Culberson’s have brain in their head they wouldn’t allow her anywhere near them with her anti-vaxxer crap. The kids can’t be vaccinated and now with a new baby on the way…it would be a nightmare. She is a legend in her own mind. Ugh.
Oh I had not thought about that. I would not want her near the kids with Covid raging. Kids are catching this Delta variant. A pediatrician here posted one day that they were getting low on tests here, gave the numbers they had tested, how many kids were sick, etc. Vanderbilt children’s hospital here has been putting out info. I cannot stand Vicki, but surely as crazy as she is about the kids, she wouldn’t risk their health.
When I see many of these ladies I always think of Waylan and Madame, the guy who had the puppet of an older lady? With all the surgeries, pumping up and stretching out I always think of that puppet. Not to put anyone’s looks down, just the altered looks.
I am so happy to see they are drinking my new favorite sparkling water.
Did you see that lightning storm last night?
I tried the new Impeachment series but had to shut it off. It reminded me how uncomfortable I was when it happened in the late 90s & I felt just as uncomfortable watching it.
I’m one of the few who was amused by Vicki but she keeps making it more & more difficult..
Ryan must have some redeeming qualities or Brianna would have left him along time ago. Being an ER nurse she must see alot of DV cases. She is too smart of a person who seems pretty level-headed. It seems doubtful that she would put up with too much bullshit from him and keep pro-creating with him.
Smart women get abused in relationships all the time. Her intelligence has nothing to do with his violence. If he is indeed violent. It’s not the victim’s fault for not being “smart enough.”
