Kenya Moore Fired, Potential Lawsuit Due to Jennifer Aydin’s Employment & What Happens to RHOA Now Jun 30, 2024

Show notes

Kenya Moore has been fired. Miss Moore is done with the twirl and has left the building. We break down how this happened, dive deep beneath the rumored “investigation” Production and Bravo conducted and discuss the finding that Kenya has violated the code of conduct leading to her termination. We discuss the likelihood Kenya will ever be back on Bravo, Peacock, E! or any other NBC affiliates. We chat about the double standard world in which Jennifer Aydin has a job after committing assault - the definition of putting your hands on another - and Kenya does not. We break down the claim that Kenya is going to file a lawsuit and the claims that lawsuit is likely to include. We discuss the upcoming season of RHOA, what Production plans to do with Kenya’s already filmed scenes and if we, the viewer, are likely to ever see this play out on TV. Finally, we discuss Kenya’s support from Kandi, Brandi Glanville and you, the fans, many of whom have been picketing outside NBC at 30 Rock to “Free Kenya Moore”.

RHONJ EX EXECUTIVE PRODUCER (Reveals All on Tre, Mel, Marge & More!) Jun 30, 2024

Show notes

One of The Real Housewives Of New Jersey's Executive Producers from the early days, Dorothy Toran, steps Behind The Rope. Dorothy was there when Teresa got out of jail. Dorothy was there when Juicy was deported. The more things change, the more they stay the same. , We talk Teresa, Melissa, Jacqueline, Caroline Manzo and much more. You know how there were rumors that Margaret was close to certain Producers, allegedly, well…. So much of this chat foreshadows where we are today with a mess of a season, the toxicity worse than ever and an RHONJ Season 14 cast that is about to be disassembled in a few short weeks. On that note, we figured today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat with the one and only Dorothy Toran

Cabral / Aydin Smackdown, Tre Throws Jackie Under The Bus, Fuda Slams Jackie & Marge Loves It All Jun 29, 2024

Show notes

RHONJ Season 14, Episode 8. The physical altercation between Danielle Cabral and Jennifer Aydin has finally arrived. We break down the hair drama and other facts that led up to the altercation, break down a play by play and discuss who we think is to blame for this mess of a Troubled Tulum party. We discuss Tre’s claims that she is using Jackie to take down Marge, Rachel Fuda’s claims that Jackie is the laughing stock of Bravo, Dolores’ savage breakup with Jackie and Margaret enjoying it all just a little too much. We discuss the seemingly double standard as Jen and Danielle returned to work after suspension but Kenya Moore is not allowed to return to RHOA. Finally, we discuss an RHONJ without Melissa and Joe, Melissa’s claims of wanting to make up with Kathy Wakile, real life fall outs with Jennifer Aydin and Margaret Josephs and much much more as we are joined by the one and only Andrea Lopez as Teresa Giudice!
