Told To F Off By PK’s Ex (Full Live Audio Played), Truth Behind Dorit’s Book & Camille's RHOBH Return Jun 06, 2026

Show notes

For all of those who have been asking, and there are many, yes, today we play the full, unedited explosion from our most recent live show where PK’s ex girlfriend went cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs, stomped her hands and feet when she did not get her way and, ultimately, told us to F off. Many have wanted to, but PK’s ex did. The live audience was stunned, speechless and the awkward silence cannot be explained with mere words. Part I of our live Podcast show reveals all. On a more positive note, the truth behind Dorit’s book is exposed, rumors of Camille Grammer’s RHOBH return are discussed, THE RHONY OG show is broken down, Kelly Dodd’s latest criminal problems are dissected and oh, so very much more.

PK's Ex Girlfriend Goes Psycho & Breaks Down (On Us), Our Response & Some Unsolicited Life Advice! Jun 05, 2026

Show notes

After PK divorced his amazing first wife Loretta and married the one and only Dorit, he made a few mistakes. Tomorrow, one of PK’s mistakes, perhaps the biggest of PK’s mistakes (some call her Rachel), returns to our podcast after a several year hiatus to go psycho, have a breakdown and tell us to F off. We can’t make this shiz up if we tried. Today, we share the true facts behind PK’s ex's anger, read on air the viral press article from our Podcast surrounding PK and his ex which caused her anger, share a new message to the ex, offer some much needed, albeit unsolicited, life advice, and explain that, after today, regardless of the next month of clap backs, outrage and slander from anyone who will listen, how and why we will never speak of the subject again. Never again except, of course, tomorrow when Part I of our live Podcast show drops on Patreon so everyone can hear and decide for themselves.

Andy Cohen opens up about the many lawsuits against him, Bravo and NBC over the past few years and breaks down where we are with all. Rumors, not nastiness, surface about Bethenny’s return to Bravo.

Victoria Gunvalson prepares for her RHOC return. Rumors surface that Vanderpump Rules is cancelled. Next Gen LA prepares to drop. Last, but not least, Housewives overload and fatigue is in full effect.

TAWNY KITAEN (on RHOC, Botched, Dating Jerry Seinfeld, Rejecting Harvey Weinstein & Competing w/ Madonna) II May 31, 2026

Show notes

Tawny Kitaen steps Behind The Rope. In what is likely her last interview ever, Tawny is here to take, what is now deemed as, a total look back at her life. Tawny went to her first rock concert at age 14, saw how the singer’s girlfriend got full VIP access and treatment and decided, “hey, I want that.” Tawny went out and made that happen. A rocker gal by nature, Tawny dated the guitarist from Ratt while in high school. From there she graduated, and “graduated”, by marrying Whitesnake’s lead singer. Although they divorced years later, she is most notorious for being “that girl” in the Whitesnake video. With that career defining moment she went from “groupie” to wife and celebrity. Choreographer Paula Abdul took one look at Tawny’s moves on the set of the Whitesnake video shoot and said, “you don’t need my help” and left! Tawny graced our small screens with roles on many of our beloved shows including Seinfeld (who she also dated), Married...With Children and America’s Funniest People. Before it was the “cool” thing to do, Tawny transitioned from “actress” to reality star starring in VH1s “The Surreal Life” and “Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew”. Speaking of Reality TV, who could forget Tawny’s 2017 appearance on E’s mega-hit Botched with Doctors Terry Dubrow and Paul Nassif. There was also that star studded role with Tom Hanks in Bachelor Party. Of course, being in the OC, we also talk the good and bad of RHOC. Part II starts now.
