Breaking Down RHOBH New Season, Newbie Annemarie, Teddi's Appearance, Maurcio's Kathy/Rick Hilton Claims & Our Real World Faye Resnick Sighting Apr 27, 2023

Show notes

With the new season of RHOBH filming, we break down all the cameos, return Diamond Holders and potential newbies. Of course we know a thing or two about rumored newbie Annemarie Wiley, her NFL Legend Husband Marcellus Wiley, the viral video circulating which seems to insinuate she has had problems with the OG herself Kyle Richards and why none of the past Diamond holders are likely to make much of an impact when the show returns. In other RHOBH news, we share a Kathy, Kyle, Kim Richards Hilton update and deep dive Mauricio’s new book, series of interviews, return of Buying Beverly Hills and why it seems he is closer to Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin than Kathy and Rick Hilton. Finally, we cannot help but gush over Faye Resnick’s recent night out in Beverly Hills where we were all at Craigs, Kyle Richards in tow.

Show notes

With so much non stop talk about The Scandoval, we did the only thing we thought appropriate, we stopped by Schwartz & Sandy’s for an epic night out with the one and only, Real Housewife of Miami, Miss Ana Quincoces. We spill the tea on all that we heard, saw, observed and oh yea, we might as well let ya all in on the food and drink too for this new Franklin Village, LA hotspot in, yes, a strip mall. Once we recover from all that, we share what we know about the rumored New RHONY Girls Trip - the likelihood this rumor is real, the validity that Ramona will return should the show move forward, the chance Jill Zarin will really be “out” and last, but certainly not least, the chance that Bethenny Frankel will actually return for this one short week of filming. Have you seen Ms. Frankel’s social lately? Finally, as she prepares for her directorial debut from prison in what is likely to be masterpiece theater in “The Real Housewives of Bryan”, we discuss whether Jen Shah will ever realize the evil crime she has committed and start to make restitution. Probably not, but let us discuss.
