Luis Ruelas Accused Of Fraud, Jackie Calls Dolo a Slob & Danielle Staub Enters The Chat Jun 19, 2024

Show notes

Since Kenya Moore’s indefinite suspension, Bravo has failed to release a formal statement, RHOA has continues to film and Miss Moore’s Housewife future remains uncertain. We break down the likelihood that she will really be permanently fired, the investigation behind the scenes that Bravo is most likely conducting and all the comparable situations Bravo has turned a blind eye to in the past. Speaking of those situations, Danielle Staub has entered the chat. We break down her own revenge porn claims and RHONJ’s past involvement in these claims. Next we break down all the mounting claims that Luis Ruelas and Vinivia CEO are accused of fraud, non payment of employees and much, much more. In other news, Jackie called Dolo a slob, got ratings on WWH better than Tre, and side eyes Marge as their friendship seems to be forever damaged. Finally, if you have not heard, Justin Timberlake was arrested for DUI across the street from our home at our regular place, The American Hotel in Sag Harbor. We break down what we know, what we saw and how this summer in The Hamptons is already off to an insane start.

Kenya Moore has been indefinitely suspended. We break down the incidents leading up to that suspension, the suspension, her IG live, the cast being instructed not to speak to her, the support she has received from Porsha and Drew, the likelihood she will be fired and never return to RHOA and last, but not least, how RHOA moves forward next season in the event Kenya does not return. In other news, Kim Zolciak and Cynthia are set to make a return to TV together, Nene turned down the opportunity, Tamra slams Shannon - again, Alexis and John Janssen have sex more than 4 times a day and Kyle Richards breaks down filming with Dorit in leaked footage of RHOBH Season 14.

RHOA OG DESHAWN SNOW (on RHOA, Nene, Kenya, Kim, Kandi & More!) Jun 16, 2024

Show notes

The Real Housewives Of Atlanta’s DeShawn Snow steps Behind The Rope. Yes, Season One, OG RHOA, DeShawn Snow. Well it has been a minute, hasn’t it? After a very long pause, RHOA has finally been recast, is filming and set to return to our Bravo screens later this year. On that note, we figured today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat with the one and only DeShawn Snow. We catch up with DeShawn on all she been up to since we last saw her on our TV screens and chat with DeShawn about her involvement in the franchise - casting, filming, her edit, her exit from the show, how producers thought she was “too normal” and “too nice" for the direction the show was going and how she found out she wasn’t coming back. We chat cast mates - Kim, Shereé, Nene Leakes and many of our other fav Peach Holders past and present - Kandi, Cynthia, Porsche and Kenya! Grab your peaches and take a listen.

John Fuda Apologizes, Tre Says No & Truth Behind Our Past RHONJ Friendship Break Ups Jun 15, 2024

Show notes

RHONJ Season 14, Episode 6. It is official. We are at the half way mark and Teresa and Louie have finally sat down with Rachel and John Fuda. Apologies, rejections of apologies, name calling and another epic storm out but this wouldn’t be RHONJ without a good table flip or walk out. We break down the episode - Dolo wants a ring, Cabral heads to Fashion Week, Marge the Sarge does charity work, Messy G lays low, Fessler and Aydin have fun and sip margs, Jackie and Tre grow closer and much, much more. Our favorite guest, Teresa Giudice, as played by the one and only Andrea Lopez, steps Behind The Rope to help us make sense of all this drama and all that has been going on behind the scenes off air in the dirty jerz. After that, for all you wonderful Patreons who have been asking, yes, as a huge thank you for sticking with us through thick and thin we share our live show from the other week where no question was off limits and where we could not plead the fifth. Of course the REAL reason for past RHONJ friendship breakups was the top question we received and yea, it was time to set the record straight. #enjoy
