Louie Ruelas' Company Goes Bankrupt, Toxic RHONJ Bloggers Infiltrate RHOBH & Kyle and Morgan Break Up Sep 17, 2024

Show notes

Louie Ruelas’ company, Digital Marketing Solutions (DMS), filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy last week. We break down the facts that led up to this declaration, discuss what this means for the business and where Mr. Ruelas goes from here. We next discuss Teresa - what she knew, if anything, her new goals in life and how she feels about this declaration of Bankruptcy, her husband and the public’s reaction. We discuss their marriage, is there a need for intervention and whether Margaret Josephs has been right all along. Next, we discuss and reveal every detail regarding the Tre Hugger bloggers who have bombarded the RHOBH cast past and present this week - Sutton, Erika, Kyle, Dorit, Teddi, Rinna, Garcelle, even Jennifer Tilly - trying to bring the toxicity of the RHONJ blog world to RHOBH which suggests that the toxic nature of RHONJ has not yet died down and the pause has changed nothing since last month’s finale. Finally, we discuss Teresa’s involvement in the RHONJ blogger community, whether she is aware of the recent RHOBH attack and whether this will affect her future multi million dollar job. Oh yea, also Kyle and Morgan break up. Way to bury the lead!

In other news, we discuss Jenn Tran’s recently completed season of The Bachelorette, her upcoming DWTS Season (Phaedra, Anna, Joey, Tori), Chris Harrison’s latest endeavors and much more. Finally, we discuss what it takes to be a reality star in 2024, losing your true self for the sake of the show, why the show will always come first to the Jax and Brittany’s of the world, how and why Lisa Vanderpump is winning and whether it is possible to be truly authentic and yourself when the cameras are rolling. Dave Neal from The Rush Hour with Dave Neal joins us to help us break it all down.

RHONJ Fake Casting News Exposed, Nene's NBC Return & Andy Cohen's Private Messages Released Sep 15, 2024

Show notes

RHONJ casting news has arisen this week and been exposed. We break down the RHONJ casting news and separate fact from fiction as this fractured, on pause franchise looms on. Nene Lakes returned to the NBC family earlier this week to host the E! Emmy’s after party. We discuss what this means for Nene, the rumors that she is returning to RHOA and how her hosting alongside Ariana - still America’s favorite darling - went. Certain Housewives are struggling after the gig ends and the camera lights fade and some thrive. We break down which is which and look ahead to the future of the franchise as a whole. Hotel Love begins to film with Lu, Giz, Ash and Beador, Andy Cohen’s private texts, messages and conversations are set to be released to Leah McSweeney as her lawsuit moves forward, RHOM cameras are back up as of earlier this week and much more as we break down all the latest hot goss from the past few days in the BravoVerse.

BRAUNWYN WINDHAM BURKE (on RHOC, Shannon, Tamra, Vicki, Alexis Returning & Kelly Dodd!) I Sep 15, 2024

Show notes

Braunwyn Windham Burke steps Behind The Rope. Braunwyn is here to chat about her experience before, during and after her two season run on the OG of them all, The Real Housewives of Orange County. Braunwyn breaks down the highs and lows of her time on RHOC and all that she faced during this time in the public eye - coming out as gay, revealing she is an alcoholic and showing what society still considers an “unconventional” marriage. Braunwyn holds nothing back in sharing the status of her sobriety, her relationships and everything else she has going on since leaving the show. Of course, we also break down just why the public did not believe her truth, the masses that cried “fake” storylines, what really went on behind the scenes with Production and filming and how and why she thinks Bravo could have handled it all much differently. Finally we chat cast mates such as Vicki, Tamra, Shannon & Heather Dubrow and much more. All this and we are only getting started as today we deemed the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat with the one and only Braunwyn.
