There are a lot of smaller bits of news that while interesting, they don’t need a whole post. So I’d like to cover some of them now and get your thoughts.
Let’s Start With RHOBH
After the RHOBH Season Twelve Trailer came out, We became aware of some issues between Kyle Richards and her sister Kathy Hilton. It seems that things are still rocky between the two. Kathy Hilton wasn’t on the upcoming much for a couple of reasons. First she was working on Paris’s Wedding and probably that show at the same time. Secondly, during the Aspen trip the rumor was that Kathy used a derogatory name for a gay man toward someone. I heard it was a waiter or some employee at a place they filmed. Then, the rumor changed to it was someone’s assistant. The person whose assistant was the the alleged victim tends to change according to who is telling the rumor.
But Wait There’s More
On the trailer, we see Kyle crying and asking her sister why she “said those things about her.” And she feels like Kathy doesn’t like her. We will have to see what they show on the season. It might not be the truth. But the editing will be interesting. And then, to make matters worse, On WWHL the other night, shady Andy asked Garcelle if she was closer to Kathy than Kyle is. And Garcelle said, “Absolutely.” At the time I didn’t think anything of it. Garcelle and Kathy have become very close and Kyle and Kathy are feuding. I felt like that is what Garcelle meant. Kyle on the other hand was deeply upset about it. She says that Garcelle has know Kathy for two seasons and that does not compare to a lifetime of sisterhood.
Speaking of Garcelle, her book has come out, and if I ever had time to read books, that is one I would want to read. But apparently, Erika does not feel the same way. She posted a now-removed photo on Instagram with Garcelle’s book in the garbage. Her issue was something Garcelle wrote about Lisa Rinna’s adult child that was part of the season and Erika wanted to play the “kids are off limits” card. Which is ridiculous because Rinna kids are adults, and the topic was discussed on the show. Meanwhile, Garcelle is living her best life. Also, The Real was cancelled after eight seasons and I will miss that show.
Meanwhile, over at SUR, LVP and Todd the dog carrier show up at SUR recently. It was the first time LVP had worn heels shit her riding accident where she broke her leg in four places and severely bruised her back. It looks like she will be able to ride her horses again soon.
Over At RHONJ…
Margaret is coming for Teresa. She recently said that Teresa did not leave the Nashville house voluntarily. Instead, she was asked to leave by production because of her violent outburst. She goes on to say that Louie seemed really shocked by her behavior. As we know Teresa (probably falsely) believes that Margaret is telling the bloggers about Louie’s violent history. He has more than one ex claiming he is an abuser, one that says he would get violent if she didn’t have sex on his schedule, and an arrest for road rage. On behalf of bloggers everywhere, that was public information.
Also, word on street is that it was Joe Gorga who stormed off the reunion and tried to quit and Andy made Teresa go get him and drag him back. Because Andy doesn’t want want to lose Joe Gorga. He’s his favorite housewife! LOL.
Shahs Of Sunset
Just a few weeks after Mike Shouhed was charged with domestic violence, he and his fiancé were spotted vacationing in Mexico with her kids. A hotel employee said that the two didn’t seem to talk to much and they didn’t see any PDA. These two never seem happy. Paulina put out a statement asking for privacy for her family after his arrest. Mercedeh told Jeff Lewis on his show that she has never seen him angry or violent. Oh really? I have. Mercedeh said that Paulina was not the victim. There are rumors that a “threeway” happened. That seems to have come from Mercedeh on Jeff Lewis’s show. Shahs of Sunset was cancelled due to the cast asking for more money than production thought was doable. There could be another show/spinoff in the works.
What else did I miss this week? Let me know your thoughts in comments.
Edited to add: Just got this bit of Summer House gossip in my mailbox. It’s unverified but sounds kind of logical. “They’re interviewing for 4 new roomies. All 4 would have ties to each other to add to the authenticity.
Edit two: My On Demand cut off before I saw this. So ICYMI here it is. Can Gina really play keyboards? Shannon has a decent singing voice!

EDIT THREE! Consider the source, (Kelly Dodd) but still. It would not surprise me at all.
OMG!!! Kelly Dodd is calling Heather Dubrow a “hypocrite”, alleging Shannon wasn’t the only one being cheated on 😳😳😳 Thoughts?? #RHOC pic.twitter.com/0mmLFmkk65

Perhaps we’ll have to wait for the RHOBH episode when it allegedly happened to find out who’s actually telling the truth about the Kathy Hilton homophobic slur rumor? My guess is that it happened in Aspen, but the typical Housewives telephone game distorted the story, and that’s IMHO why Garcelle and Sutton (and apparently, Crystal as well?) are siding with Kathy. Also, it doesn’t help the case against Kathy that Lisa Rinna and Erika are leading the charge against her.
As for what happened on WWHL, I understand why Kyle is upset, but IMHO it’s not worth the energy to direct that anger at Garcelle. In Kyle’s own words, she was just being “open and honest!” about the state of the cast’s relationships with each other. Instead, Kyle needs to reevaluate her friendship with Lisa Rinna. It’s obvious to moi that Rinna was oh so eager to poke into this hornet’s nest of Richards-Hilton family ties so she could have more camera time this season. I know the “Fox Force Five” have a pact with each other not to air each other’s dirty laundry in public, but hasn’t Rinna already violated the pact by regularly butting into Kyle’s relationship with her sisters?
As for RHONJ, I believe Margaret. One of the reasons why I believe Margaret is because – as you said – so much of this is public record! Margaret didn’t need the “bloggers” Teresa’s accusing her of “colluding” with because this dirt was popping up everywhere from court records to Reddit threads. If Teresa didn’t want this aired out on the show, why did she bring Luis onto the show? Also, I’m legitimately worried for Teresa. Maybe I’m overreacting, but I see red and yellow flags all over the place.
1. Teresa is not smart. 2. Teresa is not the most beautiful (I’m trying to be nice w/my wording – please don’t send me to WLS).
3. She’s a felon. 4. She’s not loyal to anyone. 5. Her volcanic eruptions make her look like gutter trash.
Why wouldn’t anyone question Teresa landing any man at this point???? I don’t think Margaret had to put anything out in the universe to prompt anyone looking into Luis, and all it takes is a Google search to see what kind of guy he is. Teresa is desperate to deflect here. She needs to get her ass, her pineapple puss and her love bubble away from reality tv if she can’t handle the skeletons coming out. The show would be better without her at this point. Why doesn’t Bravo understand we want to watch fabulous lifestyles. I can go to a local dive bar to see the kind of shit Teresa displays.
I think I see THE ENTIRE PROBLEM here!
Teresa does not know the definition of “colluding.” She has confused it with “creating.” She wants to blame Marge for MAKING UP all of these stories and MAGICALLY making them appear on the internet way back before anyone even knew Luis!
Too many ingrediences floating around in that empty swollen head!
I just laughed so hard at this…..THEN, I reasoned that this could be funny AND CORRECT at the same time. At first, she really didn’t know what analogy meant when that thing went down between her and Jackie, so your take on this is reasonable if not funny too.
Huge unapologetic Kyle fan here. I have noticed that for weeks now Kyle and Rinna have not been liking each other’s IG posts when they used to fully support one another on social media so I think Kyle is re-evaluating that friendship.
Bad for business.
Teresa is angry about something and I think Margaret just happens to be on the receiving end. No way Teresa was that violently angry over something that stupid.
My money is on Margaret coming out on top of this. I think Teresa picked the wrong person to fight with.
Teresa really is insane. A ‘happy in love’ person doesn’t act like that.
I think she is angry because this fairy tale in her head doesn’t match the reality
I think you’re right.
Just put up a THIRD EDIT! Keep checking for more. I have not been on Twitter for a bit so I am behind on the social media gossip.
I’m also exhausted and I slept until THREE PM! Well off and on. I was more dozing off and on watching TV. Why am I so tired? I think it is a barometric pressure thing. Big change in the weather pattern is happening. I don’t know why I am so sensitive to that.
My mother gets a bad headache every time the barometric pressure changes during stormy weather.
I am so sensitive to temperature changes but especially before rain. It’s horrible. I’m not sure if it’s the lips or menopause or a combination but it’s almost as if I feel a bit of relief when it finally rains. But then if it’s one of those weeks with off and on showers, I’m a mess and could fall asleep driving. It sucks. It added to my depression during Covid and isolation and now interferes with my job and single motherhood. I feel for you.
Thanks Pauline I do have some good news. I’ve tried multiple anti-depressants over the years and nothing has helped. It seems that people have to try multiple ones before they get the right one and I just gave up. But, THANKFULLY, before the bad thing happened I agreed to try another one. And it seems to be helping! It’s just been a couple of weeks but I am doing slightly better. I’m hopeful about that. It seems to be helping the crippling anxiety a bit to.
I am going to have to push myself to start doing things again. Like showering more regularly and cleaning the kitchen. I’ve fallen into a pattern of just not giving a shit. So that part, is going to be a struggle. But, I feel like I am on a path to being my old self. And since I started taking them before the bad thing happened, I feel like that helped me from completely losing my shit. OTOH they may be contributing to my drowsiness. I’ve always been a bit narcoleptic, I can sleep anytime any where if I feel safe. I used to date a guy who loved movies. Like he went multiple times a week. I felt safe with him in the cool dark theater and would fall asleep almost every time. He HATED that. LOL.
I can’t believe I didn’t think of trying an anti-depressant again. Thank you! I’be found that they don’t solve the problem but they help me handle things, function and not be as overwhelmed or lose my shit. I’m so grateful you took care of yourself and I am so appreciative for telling me because I don’t have insurance and I completely forgot that life can be more manageable and less of a struggle. I’ll find a way and I’ll keep trying until I have the proper help.
I love that you felt safe enough to sleep and you’re friend gave that to you. That’s a beautiful feeling. I hope you feel that way again very soon. You are loved.
I never had any success with anti-depressants. I was reluctant to try again. But the new one seems to still let me feel like me and not cry over everything happening in the world. I’m still me on this one. In fact I am more me than I have been in a long time.
TT, look in to Emotional Freedom Tapping. It’s a technique that helps to rewire the brain so that it does not get stuck on bad thoughts like a needle skipping on a record. You still have the thought, but instead of dwelling on it endlessly, your brain moves on with the next thought. It sounds crazy but really works. Very helpful for PTSD or other trauma.
WTH is it? (the pill) I need something badly. My husband has Alzheimer’s and I feel like I am going bat shit crazy. I am trying so hard to be patient but sometimes I just have to go into another room and cry.
Now about Teresa, I am totally over her and think she needs to stay home and take care of her family. Forget the love tank for another year.
I have always thought Kathy was jealous of Kyle. Kyle has a stable family which Kathy does not. Her kids have been problems since they were born. She did not raise her kids NOR did she have the love of her husband like her sister does. Kyle raised her kids and they are all a loving family unlike Kathy’s bunch. Money does not buy happiness and although Kyle has plenty she is not pretentious. I have NEVER read one thing bad about any of Kyle’s children but Kathy’s have stayed in the tabloids.
Try adding Vitamin D as a supplement.
Grief can be incredibly tiring.
Regarding the 3rd edit – social media is saying that on a cast trip (Ireland I think) someone tried to bring up Terry’s alleged affair. I personally do not remember that.
Did they say, “Let’s talk about the husband”? Was Champs thrown? These RH shows are repeating each other.
In Ireland, who did Heather go off on in the van ride? Kelly? All the footage magically wasn’t shown.
Yes, it was Kelly and she was beyond cruel. And others joined in it was awful. Even for Kelly and all her faults she did not deserve that.
I am no fan of Kelly’s but Heather and the other ladies excluding Megan were truly awful to her on that van. That is when I truly saw Heather’s character.
Yes so true! I felt bad for Kelly, I wish she was back as a friend.
I remember reading that Heather left after that season because she didn’t want Terry’s affair to become fodder for the next season. I didn’t think then about Kelly saying something in the van, but you must be right. Bravo always covered up for Heather.
Stopped watching OC when they brought heather back.
Teresa looked vile amping up Danielle to pull marges hair and you could see Marge was so hurt. Then Teresa looked worse for dumping Danielle for telling the truth. She needs to take Marge down and she can’t because good or bad, Margaret puts it all out there where Teresa fakes everything including cooking and loyalty.
Teresa had one season of being a good person and redemption and she couldn’t keep the act going. Nothing is her fault and I am sick of her use of the C word. I don’t know one old school Italian that says that as much as her but claims her husband never said it to her.
She thinks the audience is stupid and has two sets of rules for friendship and family. The way friends should treat her; family loyalty and then the shitty way she’s allowed to treat them. Good luck to the kids. All of them including Louie’s.
I saw the quote from Garcelle’s book about Rinna’s daughter. She doesn’t even really speak about her, she just gives the background that her and Lisa Rinna had a disagreement regarding Garcelle’s comment on her daughter. This is totally being blown out of proportion by Erika. I don’t understand why Erika is the one upset about it instead of Erika. Erika is totally unlikeable and I really don’t want to hear anything she has to say at this point.
I really liked the rebrand that The Real did this season. The group worked well together. Loni posted it was because of covid costs but I just don’t understand that. What additional costs? Plus they were generating money on YouTube.
I am so upset Shahs got cancelled. I wonder how much of an increase the cast was looking for. Do you know if they just flat out rejected their demands or if they couldn’t agree in negotiations?
Jersey is getting so tiring. I know all of Bravo’s shows are about arguments more or less but on RHONJ it doesn’t feel “organ-tic” everyone is just trying to tear down the others relationships.
Kathy wasn’t there for the first half of filming so I bet the scene with Kyle, Rinna, & Kathy will be the finale or second to last episode.
What exactly did Garcelle say. I haven’t seen the quote.
My source basically said they asked for what they were worth however production didn’t want to pay that. It was decided that the ratings didn’t warrant their requested raised. No word about negotiations. But my source did say that a possible new show with Reza, MJ and GG is possible.
They allegations against Kathy occurred in Aspen. Supposedly that was a very dramatic/traumatic trip for most of them.
so if they are going to do a new sjow with Reza, MJ and GG is it possible they just didn’t want Mike to come back?
No they could have just fired him. It was about money versus ratings according to my source.
So who from the cast were asking for raises that they didn’t want to pay? To me it would have been Reza, MJ and GIgi yet they are considering doing a spin-off with these 3.
All of the OGs. I think limiting it to three or having them do individual shows would be the cheaper option.
Below is copied from Eonline,
Here’s what Garcelle, in part, actually wrote: “One dustup came when I simply asked Lisa Rinna, whom I have known for years, if she thought that dancing in her underwear on social media had an effect of her daughter’s struggles with food…It was a heartfelt mom-to-mom sort of question not meant to body-shame anyone. Well, clearly there was a nerve struck because it ended up with a very direct, very public ‘F–k off’ a few days later from her daughter. I would have respected Lisa delivering that message more.”
Admitting that the drama felt very “high school,” Garcelle went on to explain that she and Lisa not only settled the matter, but that Lisa apologized for the comment Amelia made on RHOBH.
“At our very civilized meeting, [Lisa] proceeded to call herself a ‘c-nt,’ pardon my language, over and over again, confessing that she realized that her actions and attacks on me were wrong,” Garcelle wrote. “Leave it to Lisa! She admitted that she’d taken a lot of heat for allowing her daughter to tell me to ‘F—OFF’ on camera. I told her that as a mother, I would never have allowed my child to blatantly disrespect another adult in such a crass way. She apologized immediately, and I really appreciated that.”
Thanks Mike! I’m team Garcelle on this one.
Garcelle also explained it was in context to Garcelle saying she made mistakes with her son by inadvertently enabling his addiction issues and then came the quote by Mike above. Garcelle put her own issues out there as a Mom before addressing Rinna’s dancing half naked in Instagram and questioning if it affected her daughter’s body image and earing disorder issues. I am very much team Garcelle.
It is a wonder Erika is still on the show, except how egoistic she is I find her so boring to watch and that monotone voice..
She seemed to be on something like on that boat ride last season.
Garcelle has so far not done a lot of mistakes like flipping out totally or fake crying which is standard on this show, I bet Erika tried her hardest to have something on her but that did not work then I guess.
Not disappointed about the Shahs being cancelled. The show was running out of steam in my opinion. But I was never a fan to begin with it.
I’m not a fan of Margaret but give her kudos for standing up to Teresa. With a strong personality, especially the “star” of the show, people have a tendency to fold.
Terry having an affair doesn’t seem far fetched. Despite the staged perfection Heather portrays we all have “stuff”. Leave it to Kelly to shout it out.
It seems Kathy Hilton’s love affair with Bravo fans maybe cracking.
Yes so true! I felt bad for Kelly, I wish she was back as a friend.
I was watching WWHL when Andy asked Garcelle about Kyle and Kathy. Garcelle answered ABSOLUTELY! in quite a joyful manner. It bothered me that she was so happy about sisters, especially knowing their history, aren’t getting along. Not a Garcelle fan anyway, but that seemed heartless.
I haven’t seen it so only going by what has been said about the comment. I wonder if Garcelle misunderstood the question and thought Andy was asking if SHE was closer to Kathy or Kyle not if Kathy and Garcelle were closer than Kathy and Kyle.
Heels shit? Lol
