Thank God this season of RHOSLC is coming to an end and this is the last RHOSLC recap of the season! It’s been an exhausting season. And I think it’s all going to hit the fan tonight. I’m so not ready. It’s been a weird day and I didn’t get a damn thing done. I probably will not get to Kandi and The Gang tonight, and will work on Killing Eve tomorrow, hopefully when I have more brain power. I really need My American Idol time with Banjo tonight. Also, for everyone out there with anxiety and depression and feeling some type of way about it. You are not alone. Try not to self shame about it. I’m working on that part. Today is a depression day, which is better than anxiety. Kinda.
We begin tonight with the arrival of the husbands. But, before they take the stage, Lisa Barlow tries to mend things with Meredith. Meredith is not really here for insincere apologies. Then, Lisa tries to suck up to Heather and Meredith. That doesn’t go so well either. When the show starts Whitney and her husband talk about her investing so much money in her new business. Her beauty line is doing great. Then we talk about Seth being obsessed with Whitney’s breasts. Finally, things take a more serious turn. Seth talks about how Meredith played through the pain of the loss of her father. Seth and Meredith both cry. I did think it was awful how ugly they were to Meredith this season after such a difficult loss.
Lisa apologizes to Meredith again. Duey says there have been not applications received for a sister wife. He still wants more children even though Jenny has had NINE miscarriages. He’s crying. That’s two of the four men crying already! Almost all of the housewives are crying. Even Jen. Duey stupidly defends his desire for a sister wife as if it is a business and he wants “results” aka more kids. Jenny sent him to counseling.

Oh we are finally getting to the good part. Andy asks Sharrieff where was when he heard about Jen’s arrest. He said he was being examined medically and “one of his assistants” had his phone and called Jen. WAIT WHAT? Why does an assistant football coach need “assistants”? And why would they go to the doctor with him? The smells like bullshit already! Then, 25 minutes (that’s very specific, not like saying about a half an hour later) he got a call from Homeland security and his heart just stopped. They are both lying. These stories don’t make sense. He says his “assistant” called her. But, she answered the phone, “Hello, baby.” She was totally tipped off. Andy is not following this story either.
More Lies From Jen and Sharrieff
Let me see if I can find what I posted about an interview with the Uber Driver who took Jen from Heather’s House to meet her lover. That one is not it. That’s for a fundraiser for Jen though so I am leaving it and going to search again. Here it is. Go Listen to the Uber Driver interview with all the tea on her cheating. On the footages she says, “I need to go to the house?” and then she says she has to go to the hospital. I don’t believe either of them. If anything at this point I think Sharrieff complicit. Andy keeps trying to make sense of their lies. It’s impossible. Then, Andy asks Sharrieff if he ever wondered where all the money was coming from.

Andy will not let this topic go and I am here for it. Andy asks Sharrieff is there was every a time where he questioned Jen and asked her if she was doing anything illegal. He says no. He says he told her this was going to be tough and whatever it was they will get through it. Jen is pissed that Whitney has her number. Jen brings up that Whitney’s husband was accused of running a pyramid scheme. He says the lawsuit was from four years ago. His name was removed from it. It was never resolved and is in limbo.
This Is Apparently Happening To Jen Because She Is “Brown”
Then Jen plays the race card. Why is it the brown girl who everyone is questioning her finances. Um, sweetie. NO ONE WAS DOING THAT UNTIL HOMELAND SECURITY AND NINE OTHER BRANCHES OF THE LAW ARRESTED YOU! Other than that, people just mused about what exactly her business was. Then Jen starts spouting off all of Sharrieff’s degrees and points out that he was an attorney for thirteen years and was an NFL agent. What does that have to do with her being an alleged crook? Sharrieff was disappointed that Lisa didn’t reach out to Lisa after the arrest. He was happy that Heather did reach out to him. Sharrieff says that Jen barely gets out of bed.

Her sons encourage to to get out of bed. He is going to be there at the trial “to the extent he is able to.” really? And then the guys leave the stage. Lisa hugged Heather and Whitney during the break. Lisa is so fake. Heather felt like Lisa would come in contrite, but instead she talked about how great of a person she is. Back to Jen talking about her arrest. She was shocked by the charges. Andy asks her why she gave Bravo the Ring footage of the cops with her sons. She says it is important for everyone to know how black people are treated in America. It was really horrific footage. Those poor boys. Jen says she has not spoken to Stu Chains since the arrest. She is now trying to backtrack saying that she and Stu are not business partners.
Let’s Keep Interrogating Jen!
Andy says that Stu has basically rolled on Jen. She says she can’t comment on his guilty plea. We see that footage of Jen and Stu chains pledging their undying friendship. Then we move on to Whitney and others questioning what Jen does for a living and how she makes so much money. Whitney says she never questioned her success. Jen said in her casting interview that she spends $50,000 a month on….”things.” Andy questions how Whitney knows so much about the ins and out of the case. Jen gets into it with Whitney and Heather for not supporting her. BECAUSE SHE IS GOING TO GO TO PRISON FOR YEARS!

Heather says she is literally the only person that shows up for her. And Jen is horrible to her. Jen calls Lisa a bitch multiple times. FINALLY a point of agreement between me and Jen Shah! Jen is asked about the Uber event again and her story CLEARLY doesn’t match what the Uber Driver Said. The southern district of New York has a 98% conviction rate. She is going to prison. Finally, Andy mentions the interview with the Uber driver. Jen says that is a lie. No, no it is not if you haven’t seen it click the link! It’s juicy! Jen denies being flagged from Louis Vuitton.
Jen Wants To Bring Her Husband Out Again
WTF Is the Story with Heather’s right leg in this photo and why did NBCu Media choose this out of all the professional reunion photos????
Meredith and Heather both talk about they mysterious nasty messages they got from Jen. Meredith says that is why she hired the PI who is apparently a cyber specialist. Meredith’s sons both got them. One was very long, the other was not. But, they were threatening. The PI thinks it is was Jen. Because they were contacting everyone in the cast other than Jen. Heather says that she believes in Jen and she will be in court with her pulling for her. Andy points out the 98% conviction rate. She says that is because people take plea deals because they can’t afford to fight it. She is going to fight it. Also, she is going to Camp Cupcake.

At the break, Jen is crying and Heather is hugging her and comforting her. I love Heather but she has to know Jen is guilty as sin. That said, Heather is a ride or die friend and Jen needs to appreciate her. At this point Andy wants to move on. He says to Jen that there is one charge that is 30 years and one that is 20. She says she doesn’t know. Bullshit. How do you not know how much time you are looking at? Also he said the trial is this month, but it was moved to I believe July. Come on Court TV! Are those safety pins making the bling on the front of her dress? Andy asks if she will be at the reunion next year and she says of course.
Andy asks about their biggest takeaway from the season. Heather basically says that everyone makes mistakes and everyone is redeemable. Jennie says she learned she needs to speak her mind more. Whitney learned to believe in herself and have opinions. Meredith says it is important not to let thing fester and to deal with things when it happened Lisa says says she has a very hard time being vulnerable and people don’t see what a good person she is. Oh for Fuck sake. And she cried. Jen Shah learned that she is stronger than she thought she would. And how much love she has with her family.
Then everyone gets a churro, and with that, it’s only for months until the trial! I love me a good trial!
This show has been such a f—ing mess. At times, it was incredibly compelling. Other times, it was just plain annoying. IMHO the Zion episodes were hella compelling, and perhaps I’d have a different assessment of RHOSLC had Season 2 wrapped at the end of the Zion trip and/or the reunion filmed after the news broke on “she who shall not be named” and her racist social media screeds.
But since this is what ended up happening, it was such an awkward ending. The finale episode felt like a whole lot of filler, and the reunion just felt weird because it was filmed before Jen’s trial got delayed and before “she who shall not be named” got fired. I guess I’ll watch Season 3 when it starts, but I’m still wondering what the point of the Season 2 reunion was when it didn’t address one of the biggest scandals of the series.
BTW, hello again, everyone. Yes, I’m still alive and kicking.
Welcome back my friend, I have missed you. xoxoxoxo ~tt
I have missed reading your post. I agree with everything you said. The show should have ended with Lisa’s rant. The reunion was weird to me too. I felt so bad for Meredith. Her pain is real, unlike Lisa’s fake tears. My girl Heather is starting to annoy me with all her flip-flopping.
Funny I was just thinking last week where is adtleft??? Helloooooo handsome.
So what Jens husband is or was an attorney. So wasn’t Erica’s husband and we all know how that’s going.
All the women are full of it!😅🤣😂 I’m this & I’m that! What a crock of sh_t! They loath each other most of the time! 🤪 Heather and Whitney are the biggest sh_t stirrers! Whitney’s husband is unemployed bc of his antics on the show and history with the ponzey scheme! He dumped all his $ in her products! They are radioactive in the Community bc he left his wife & kids for the pole chick!! She was married with children as well! He didn’t mention his unemployment but I don’t know when this was filmed. His & Whitney’s filming of a sexy scene sent the community nuts 😳, so I’m told! Well I really don’t care for any of them! Jen needs to go to prison & STHU abt being brown! No your a criminal!! These women have been pampered for so long that they think they can say & do anything without repercussions!! Grow the hell up!!! Why don’t they go join Bethenny Frankel & help our brothers and sisters from the Ukraine 🇺🇦! Peace 🙏❤
I feel like Jen showing that footage of her family’s detainment is a way to race bait and try to draw attention away from her culpability. The cops would not descend if mama acted right. It’s easy to blame the police for doing their jobs. Those kids were traumatized but I blame their mother. Maybe their father too. What a liar. Their stories were laughably dissimilar. She’s going down.
In THIS case I agree. The police were not forceful but they were scary. But THEIR mother and possible their FATHER put them in that position. I feel so sorry for those boys for being shown in front of the entire viewing audience what was happening. There was no need for BRAVO to air that footage of those boys. That was disgraceful.
All of these women were so unlikable in this reunion. Thirst doesn’t even begin to cover it. Except for Jenny =(who probably knew her days were numbered) they were talking way over each other. Whinning about how each was treated. Trying to bait one another. It was not at all a good reunion show.
Differing opinion here, my take is how the police pulled up and had massive guns drawn was completely ridiculous. This is not a violent crime she’s been accused of. It was excessive, and whether anyone likes it or not of course there is enough reason to consider race here given the very relevant manner in which non-Caucasian members of society are treated immeasurably different than those who are.
The reason police, feds, and Homeland go through these protocols with every house they go to is because more often than not, the accused will try to escape or evade requiring physical restraint regardless of a white collar or something such as a terroristic just as an FYI
EXACTLY! If HOMELAND SECURITY has to show up at your house, guns will be drawn.
You better believe it. They don’t play. They’re always accompanied by SWAT or f b i
Jen pulling the race card was really irritating. Really? Is this what we’re doing now for some sympathy? Pink, purple, green or brown…people were wondering where all the money was coming from for quite some time. That’s usually my first thought watching all of these ladies on these shows. And, that’s my favorite part..super sleuthing and trying to figure it all out! Although, I admit, the treatment of her boys was hard to watch.
I haven’t watched yet but it looks like Heather’s skirt is draped over her leg somewhat and makes it look funny. Glad to see the “number 1” commentator is back! Will comment again after I watch.
I agree that what Jen’s sons went through at the raid on their house was terrible. Were they treated that way because they are Black, possibly, but the reality it happened because of their mother, she’s the cause. Jen is acting like Teresa, we are supposed to feel sorry for their kids because their parents are going to jail.
If I feel sorry for their kids it’s because their parents are criminals who deserve to go to jail.
The season had such a good start then got petty really fast. Jen’s story was the one we had been waiting for, and I was disappointed how it played out, though she did look like a flapping bird who just flew into a window.
I cant wait for the trial, it will be around my birthday, I hope hope it doesnt get delayed again!
I’ll never look at velvet the same way again. These are the worst reunion outfits in history. Meredith is especially horrifying with that feather suit. Someone please get a stylist here real quick because this was a fashion nightmare.
I’m so glad the season is over. What a fun ride it was, but all vacations eventually end and we go back to real life. I enjoyed the season but it was a lot to take in!
I need a long break before season 3 starts. Good thing Bravo gives us plenty of housewife options to enjoy.
Meredith has always been my favorite. I find her commentaries to be hysterical. And the total DGAF attitude she occasionally demonstrates, such as The Bath. What really endears her to be though is her fierce protectiveness of her kid.
Heather is in second place. I like her when she’s by herself or with her kids much more than when she’s interacting with the other women. On the other end of the spectrum, Whitney is just a stirrer of poop. I want to like her, but she gets such pleasure out of sowing chaos. Still, she’s good TV.
Jen is good TV as well. Monsters often are. The way she gaslights everyone is a thing to behold. I’ll miss hate-watching her while she serves her time.
Jenny and Mary are no great losses. I hope they can get some new folks who are both interesting and devoid of problematic past social media posts. Just not, for the love of all that is holy, freaking Lala.
Dang! I just listened to the Uber drivers call. Very informative! I know we ask this all the time, but why do these people go on reality tv when they are FELONS?? I did not know NY had a 98% conviction rate! Please get trump!! I will go nuts if he runs in 2024 and wins again. I mean I will LOSE MY SHIT.
Those outfits are ridiculous. I wanted to jump through the tv and cut a few feathers off Jen’s dress. We couldn’t even see her face! Maybe that was the point? I am sure this all fills Andy with total glee- meanwhile older people who cannot afford to lose money are out of luck due to her greed. Greed is something I will never understand. Never.
A part of me has felt bad for Sharrieff this season and thinking that he has really been duped by Jen. But after last night, pretty sure that he knew that she was up to no good. Now, he maybe realized that her business practices were not going to pass the smell test. But rather than question anything, he kept blinders on. If he chose not to inquire if something seemed shady that could potentially get her in trouble, then shame on him. No sympathy for turning a blind eye to something that he knew was bad. And not surprising that Jen busted out the race card again. She’s done it before and she seems to think that people will feel bad for her.
Thought Jen came across very likable last night. She was calm for the most part and her husband is very good at humanizing her. Hard to tell what is true here but at least they are more like able than the shrew on the west coast. Meredith annoys me, Lisa is very self absorbed. I like the rest of the gang. I do think it is interesting that Mary wasn’t there she just nasty and mean. Really don’t think these housewives are as rich as we are led to believe. Whitney is Tamra with the sex crap and the flashing of ladies.
Seth gives me a creepy vibe and Duey the same but the husbands are like able. I do hope whatever the truth is concerning Jen it is revealed and whoever needs to make restitution does so.
The Coach Shaw thing really has me HMMMM.. he was an atty for 12YRS, as a commercial litigator and then as a trial attorney – specializing in medical malpractice and catastrophic automobile accidents. Wouldn’t that give him SOME insight on the questionable legal aspects of Jen’s business & therefore why WOULDNT he have been consulted or involved in what was happening. I have not seen or heard her claim that she had legal guidance throughout her ‘business’ life, meaning she had no one on retainer, right ? & I mean, even a very vague description should have set his spidey senses tingling.
According to USA Today, he makes 400k/yr.. but even a football player should understand the sort of money she has to be generating to be able to plop down such $$$$ at a whim. MUCH LESS her constant use of cash for large purchases ?? I mean. That SCREAMS laundering.
I don’t think the ol boy is nearly as innocent as he claims. He just didn’t sign anything (learned from Tre?)
As for their looks. Someone needs to let me ride Thea’s neighbors know she found their loose chickens. Good Lord that’s a horrendously foul outfit.
My Vote for Worst EVER
Ok.
My auto correct is apparently set to ‘weird Yugoslavian with a lisp’. & I didn’t check it
*someone needs to let Meredith’s Neighbors know she found their loose chickens..
LOL about this whole post! 🙂
Thank you for the recap.😊
If it’s Federal, they won’t let cameras in…..right?
So tweets hopefully or recap after a break may be all we get?
Ohhh!!! And Meredith ‘s feathers and crazy style gotta go!!!!!
She isn’t suitable for anything but conservative classy, LOL. I stay in a leopard throw over the head dress until I have to launder it, so I am probably not the best in fashion critique.😊
We will get news as it happens from reporters out of the courtroom if nothing else. And girl I barely even wear clothes and wear means underwear at this point. And I highly recommend for fat chicks like me whose underwear tends to roll down.
And YES, I have given up. That said I don’t hate Jen’s feathers, Again, I don’t deserve an opinion. LOL, Covid has engulfed me.
I’ll start by writing that I am no Jen Shah Stan. That said, I am a woman of color and Jen’s comments about the racist and abhorrent treatment of her sons by the Feds when they stormed her home are valid. The comments by commenters that Jen “brought that treatment on her sons because of her illegal behavior” is equally racist and abhorrent. The concept that Jen can be a crook and her sons treatment by law enforcement be racist are not mutually exclusive concepts. Both statements can be true. Re-watch the footage and see if don’t feel empathy for her sons’ and nephews’ treatment by law enforcement. When I watched the footage, I felt like the Fed’s response was completely disproportionate to what looks to me to be allegations involving white collar/non-violent offenses.
It was, completely disproportionate. But a raid on ANY home is over the top. Regardless the target. Intimidation is part of the schtick. & removing everyone from the premise immediately is to avoid any chance of evidence being altered or destroyed .. & also accepted procedure. I don’t approve of that tactic, at all. But I don’t get a sense that it was any worse than any other I’ve heard described. I could be wrong, tho!
‘Duey still wants more children even though Jenny has had NINE miscarriages. He’s crying.’
Haven’t watched the show yet, cause I read the recaps here first. IMHO, Duey needs to be cancelled with his wife.
I have never, and still have zero tolerance for “Duey”
I’m not going to miss him or Jenny.
*note: I am starting to see the “after first season” caution which is the dreaded and destruction of a good Housewife season in my opinion.
(Also, did not miss the insinuations by the cast about Lisa trying to guide conversation. When camera was to be down) Hmmm.
Don’t jump on me now, I have a question. I have not read up on much of Jen Shah’s business or the charges against her except what I read here but….is it possible she sees herself as the “middleman” in a way that she was only supplying names and info to these companies (even though I believe she knew what they were doing with that info) and therefore feels like she technically is not guilty of any crime? Everybody says she is smart but she doesn’t come across that way.
Oh it’s quite possible she thinks that way. But, clearly the law disagrees. #98percentconvictionrate.
When I saw coach and Jen’s audition tape bragging about luggage and $50k a month spending and then him being so animated and saying she was a non stop shopper, it really confused me. I don’t think we’ve ever seen him act that way on the show. It was in stark contrast to his very soft spoken manner over 2 seasons. Then his well rehearsed recall of the events leading up to the arrest that didn’t make any sense and he contradicted himself. He was not telling the truth and the story changed even as he was saying it.
I always wondered why he didn’t get at least some of the heat Erika Jayne did and chalked it up to him being quiet after the arrest versus the Instagram posts and snow falling, rolling vehicle stories. But … He lived in that house, saw all the assistants and said she shops non stop during audition footage and is an educated man. He was obviously not telling the truth about the assistants phone call, and her closet. How could he possibly not know Stuart and his partnership with Jen,
I felt like he got off easy and it was because he was a guy and a football coach. And didn’t make things worse for himself. Played the supportive husband looking to downsize. They both also seemed very quiet when asked about affairs so who knows if they both checked out.
I think coach Shaw is more like-able that EJ but I don’t think he’s innocent and definitely lived a good life with ill gotten gains. I don’t think he was clueless or tried to stop her.
Forgive me but I am going to try to forgive him for a moment because Jen DID NOT LIVE IN THE HOUSE SHE CLAIMED TO. And I could see he looked at it like a TV SET. It was a rental for the show.
BUT AND THIS IS A BIG BUT, they could not even get their stories straight about the phone call! Was it him or the assistant who called. Was he in the hospital? Or not? Nothing made sense.
Jen’s eye makeup really matched her outfit well. If she did that, kudos. If Bravo did that, kudos.
On the reunion, Meredith’s makeup was the best it has been. She should get the Bravo makeup people to teach her how to do that.
I can’t stand Mary but that’s what makes her good TV. Sucks that she will be gone.
This show won’t work at all if Jen Shah is gone. Don’t the feds care about my trash TV?
When homeland security and the feds do “raids.” Yes that is their standard procedure regardless of race, religion or creed. It is their job. They didn’t know what they could be walking into. Jen was the mastermind in this operation. Keep in mind evidence was taken too this is also standard procedure.
I remembering listening to a podcast sorry can’t remember. That was months ago. The caller was her Aunt telling her to get off the bus. The reason why she was there. Also point blank on tv she told her lawyer to the effect of her father in law had internal bleeding. Why lie when your words are on tape?
Correct me if I am wrong but when she said she gather’s data. That is the same as “data mining?”
