Dorit Announces Separation From PK, Secures Her Diamond & Bravo Conducts Internal Investigation Into Andy May 12, 2024

Show notes

Dorit and PK have announced their separation. We break down their statement, the shock or lack thereof heard around the BravoVerse, how long they have really been having problems, the likelihood this announcement was motivated only and solely in response to Producers’ rumored ultimatum to Dorit, how this has secured Dorit’s diamond for Season 14 and what we expect to see when RHOBH returns to our Bravo screens later this year. In other RHOBH news, filming has begun, we discuss likely storylines for the other RHOBH cast members and share an update on whether we can expect to see Morgan Wade next season in Bev Hills. Next, we deep dive Andy Cohen’s recent interview where he has responded to Leah McSweeney, Brandi Glanville, Eboni K. Williams and Bethenny Frankel’s claims against Bravo, reveals the true status of his relationship with John Mayer and which Housewives are the "ultimate standard”. Finally, Bravo announces new shows, renewed shows and why they will be standing by Andy Cohen after conducting an internal investigation which, shocker, has found nothing.

Jen Shah’s Ex Employee KOA JOHNSON (on Jen Shah’s Mistreatment & Viral RHOSLC Events) May 12, 2024

Show notes

Koa Johnson steps Behind The Rope. If that name sounds familiar to you it is because he is the designer that The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City’s Jen Shah was seen berating in the leaked viral video way back when. Koa’s name has resurfaced recently in relation to Monica Garcia and Reality Von Tease. Were the signs there? Is this chat foreshadowing several years in the making? Koa starts at the beginning explaining how, where, when, and why he came to work for RHOSLC’s Jen Shah. Koa details what their working relationship was like as designer and official Shah Squad member which, if you have seen the video, you know was not all that pleasant. Speaking of the viral video, Koa chats about when it was taken, what caused Jen Shah to lose her sh&t, who else was in the room and, whether this type of behavior was a common occurrence, and just who does he think leaked the video to the media. Koa explains the circumstances surrounding the end of his employment with Jen, why he never spoke out about their working relationship before, the long term effects their time together has had on him, what he would like to say to Jen and his recommendations to Bravo and her fellow RHOSLC cast members going forward in regards to Jen. We share this never before publicly aired chat today with the one and only Koa Johnson.

RHONJ Premiere - Hot Dog Lips, An Activated Tre & Another Smackdown at Rails (w/ Andrea Lopez as Tre) May 11, 2024

Show notes

RHONJ has returned to our lives. We break down the Season 14 premiere sharing some good news and some not so great news. Hot Dog Lips, Tre and Luis vs. The Fudas, Jackie vs. Marge, John Fuda’s statement as soon as the episode ended, Jen Fessler living in her own world, candy bags for all, a shattered foreshadowed final scene at Rails and a cast that is either not speaking, feuding or still trying to figure out their storylines for this - hopefully - great season to come. In addition to breaking down this episode, we chat about all that is going on in the real world regarding RHONJ and predict - yes here we go again - what will happen once this season ends. We also discuss The Valley, the problems that still exist in casting RHOA and the effect Vanderpump Rules may have on RHONJ. Finally, we welcome today’s special guest Andrea Lopez as the one and only Teresa Giudice.

Lala Slams Ariana, VPR Ends (Forever?) & Dorit and Kyle Refuse To Film Together As RHOBH Filming Begins..Now May 08, 2024

Show notes

This explosive season of Vanderpump Rules has ended with a bang. Lala slams Ariana, Tom attempts to make peace with Ariana by speaking directly to her and new BF Daniel, Scheana struggles with forgiving Tom while still remaining loyal to Ariana, Jo is bullied and everything comes to a head in the much expected Tom Sandoval redemption season. As Schwartzy said, "plot twist", or is it? The VPR after shows were even messier with Lala doubling down, Kristen and Brittney weighing in and the name of Beyonce being taken in vain. Finally, we address the rumors that Kyle and Dorit do not want to film with each other next RHOBH season, the effect - if any - that will have on their ability to hold a diamond and the party Sutton is having this weekend because filming has…begun!

Show notes

Andy Cohen has just weighed in on Kyle Richards’ future so we figured we should break down just where we stand with Kyle and Dorit’s RHOBH future and when we expect filming for the new season to realistically begin. Monica Garcia shares a life update and we discuss the rippling effects of Jill Zarin’s viral Below Deck appearance. In other news, we talk Britney Spears - all is not okay, Taylor vs. Kim K - the clash of the uber A list, the current state of Bravo and Housewives and last, but certainly not least, the likelihood that Teresa, Dorinda and Kenya are headed to Scotland for Traitors Three. The one and only Melissa Rivers stops by for our regularly monthly chat crossovers!!!
