KIMBERLY ARCHIE (on Working For Tom Girardi, Meeting w/ Erika & The Housewife and the Hustler) I Feb 19, 2024

Show notes

Kimberly Archie steps Behind The Velvet Rope. So much has been written about, discussed and put out there about Kimberly Archie’s employment with Tom Girardi, her involvement in “The Housewife and the Hustler”, her BFF Kathy Ruigomez, the victims who were scammed and stolen from by Tom Girardi and Erika Jayne’s knowledge of and involvement in Tom’s crimes. Today, Kimberly stops by to clarify all, separate fact from fiction and chat about the many headlines, details and nuances surrounding the takedown of Tom Girardi. Kimberly talks RHOBH, Tom’s current competency trial, the likelihood Tom will ever see the inside of a jail cell and Erika’s ups and downs as she has navigated the situation over the past few years. Finally, Kimberly shares details from the day Erika met with her and the other victims - at her event for Paul’s Ice Cream (the company and charity in honor of her son), what promises Erika made that day, interactions with Erika since and what she hopes will happen in the future. As we like to say, Kimberly mentions it all.

Show notes

Jax and Brittany have broken up. Or have they? We interrupt this regularly scheduled program to discuss this rumor, where it started, why it started and just how true is it as we prepare for the premiere of Valley Village next month. In other news, Nene Leakes is not returning to RHOA Season 16 - shocker said sarcastically. We break down who we expect from the current Season 15 cast to return and which RHOA from the past will be given a peach when the formal cast is announced any day now. Bethenny Frankel slams Kelly Rowland as Diva, receives tons of on line back lash and deletes her post to appease the general masses. Oh Bethenny. Finally, Kyle Richards spill secrets from the upcoming RHOBH reunion, talks an RHOBH with both Kim and Kathy and explains who from the current cast should exit when next season returns.
