PEPPERMINT (on The Harsh Conditions of Working on Reality TV, Drag Race, RuPaul & Prince) Aug 27, 2023

Show notes

With Bethenny Frankel’s “Reality Reckoning” lawsuit changing by the day, we figured it a great time to revisit this chat with Miss Peppermint. During this chat Peppermint detailed her time on Drag Race, the harsh filming conditions and the true gritty behind the scenes of how Reality TV works. Peppermint, who finished as runner-up in one of the most talked about seasons in Drag Race HERstory, takes us behind the scenes of Drag Race - what the casting and filming process was like, just how “hard” it was to make a great TV show, the other queens and what RuPaul is really like. We chat about her starring role on Broadway as Pythio in the epic Head Over Heels, a brilliant musical set to Go Go’s Music. Peppermint discusses her music inspirations such as Prince and what it was like to work with musical legends such as Debbie Harry. Let us not forget Peppermint’s stellar acting resume as well which includes parts in hit TV shows such as Ryan Murphy’s Pose.

Bethenny's Raquel Leviss Interview - What Is Really Going On Here?? Aug 26, 2023

Show notes

It has been a week since Raquel sat down with Bethenny Frankel on her Podcast. We have listened. You have listened. Everyone has listened. We share our thoughts - the good, the bad, the other and explain why we are still so conflicted about this three part chat. Moving on to the finances of it all, we answer all your burning questions - was Raquel really not paid, how much did Bethenny really make, is Bethenny really going to help Raquel and get into business with her and should Raquel call us, ASAP immediately for financial and career advice. Answer: Yes! Finally we break down the real reason Rachel did not return to Vanderpump Rules and address whether Bethenny’s “Reality Reckoning” has been created to help those reality stars in need or a way to get back at Daddy Cohen for all sorts of reasons. Oh, and for everyone who wants to know what is REALLY going on between Teresa & Kim D, we KNOW ALL!

What Housewives Joined Bethenny's "Reality Reckoning", Her Pitched Bravo Show, Hurricane Sutton & Denise Richards' RHOBH Revenge Aug 25, 2023

Show notes

Another day, another turn of events in Bethenny Frankel’s “Reality Reckoning”. With all the recent Real Housewives and current Bravolebrities who have come forward to state that they will not be participating in Bethenny’s cause, we deep dive just which Reality TV stars are assisting her and moving forward with super attorneys Mark Geragos and Bryan Freedman. We next discuss Bethenny’s rumored reality show she pitched Bravo mere months prior, whether she is the right person to lead this charge, Andy Cohen’s response, whether Bravo is taking these claims of B’s seriously and how this could all affect many of your favorite Bravo shows as the months move on. In other news, Denise Richards’ upcoming RHOBH performance is said to be sweet revenge, the cast claims no one even missed Rinna, Erika denies Ozempic use and hurricane Sutton seems to have struck a cord with many of our favorite diamond holders as we prepare for a return date, as of today, for November 1st. Finally, we set the record straight regarding all the recent VPR Season 11 filming leaks, who has really forgiven Sandoval and who is not quite there yet and still keeping their distance.

What The F is Really Going On w/ Kyle-Morgan-Mauricio, Our Run In w/ Ramona Singer This Week & Mary Cosby's Return Aug 24, 2023

Show notes

RHONJ has resumed filming the other week. We break down what we know from filming, the drama that has already arisen and clarify many recent claims from Margaret Josephs. Morgan Wade, Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky film videos, make public appearances, leave social media comments all why seemingly laughing at us. We ask what the F is going on and whether these are master’s at the game on marketing, publicity and the media or a deep hurt felt emotional and / or physical affair has been taking place. Next we reveal all the details about a run in this past week with Ramona Singer down the street from our home in Sag Harbor, The Hamptons. Was the Singer Stinger in a good mood and what other RHONY was she purposely seated next to for drama? We reveal all as summer in The Hamptons rolls on. Finally, we break down the RHOSLC trailer, share updates on Jen Shah and last, but certainly not least, discuss the return of one Miss Mary Cosby.

RACHEL UCHITEL (on Justice For Raquel Leviss, VPR's Future, Tiger Woods, & Feuding w/ Wendy Williams) - II Aug 23, 2023

Show notes

Vanderpump Rules Season 11. With rumors of cast make ups (have Scheana and Lala really forgiven Sandoval?), Tom Sandoval filming group scenes with Ariana and still no Raquel Leviss, we brought back Rachel Uchitel is back to help break it all down. Does anyone else see the similarities between the Rachel’s Uchitel and Leviss. Rachel Uchitel was blasted in the media, just like Leviss, all those years ago for her involvement with Tiger Woods, a narrative which still follows, and often haunts her, today. Rachel shares her story here today and we delve into the media’s obsession with bringing people down, the misogyny of it all when the “woman” is blamed much more significantly than the “married” man, how celebrities and people in the public eye are often misunderstood when defined by one moment in time, Rachel’s “Tiger” NDA, the validity and legality of NDAs when they are overly harsh and one sided and so much more. As we said, anyone see the similarities between these two Rachels? In other news, Rachel talks about her feuds throughout the years with the likes of Joy Behar, Janice Dickinson and, most recently, Wendy Williams. Of course, there was that one time she dated our very own Paul “PK” Kemsley pre Dorit. Way to bury the lead. All this and more! Part Two starts now!
