Bethenny Films RHONY, Amanda Batula's Cancellation & Teresa's Warning/ Threat To Bloggers Apr 12, 2026

Show notes

Rumors and nastiness say Amanda Batula is one hundred percent cancelled, to the extent, that is, that an actual human being can be cancelled. We break down the facts, the loss of brand deals, the instagram losses and gains for the Summer House cast and discuss what is next for all parties involved as well as the show. Teresa issues a warning and threat to bloggers. Bethenny Frankel films RHONY, sorta, kinda. RHORI means business, Ladies of London reigns supreme and last, but not least, The Valley fails to make an impact.

JULIET ANGUS (on Real Housewives, Dorit/ PK, Ladies of London & Bravo Days of Yesteryear!) Apr 12, 2026

Show notes

Juliet Angus steps Behind The Rope. The New Reign: Ladies of London is back in our lives and oh, what a season it is. One thing became very clear within the first few seconds of speaking to Juliet, SHE - KNOWS - EVERYONE! We do not mean she has met everyone. We mean know - we mean had dinner with - partied with - traveled with. Dorit and PK. Dorinda. Cary Dueber. Tinsley Mortimer. Paris Hilton. Nicole Richie. Tracy Tutor. We discuss it all, including “The Simple Life” remake she wanted to pursue with the one and only Caroline Stanbury. We talk about her Ladies of London co-stars Caroline Stanbury, Marissa Hermer, Caroline Fleming, Noelle Reno, Sophie Stanbury, Caprice Bourret, Adela King, and Juliet Montagu. We discuss who she knew before the show, which friendships were “tested” as a result of the show, and who she keeps in touch with today. Finally, we discuss her unapologetic friendship and loyalty to Caroline Stanbury and some of the most dramatic moments she remembers from being a cast member on the hit Bravo series.

Show notes

RHORI’s second episode brought polyamory, infidelity and a new housewife. Welcome Rulla. We are here to help make sense of it all today. In other news, Kyle says Dorit is on a path of self destruction and there are a few witnesses here today who seem to agree. Boz is not one of them but, speaking of Boz, she is certainly enjoying this Dorit/ Kyle showdown just a little too much. Last, but not least, Carl and Lindsey capitalize, Amanda hides out, West runs, runs away, new confessionals are filmed and a major Summer House cast shake up/ blood bath is in full swing.

Kelly Dodd Unravels, Bethenny Is Obsessed & Dorit Doesn't Give A Fuck About RHOBH Co-Stars (w/ Patrik/ Pol) Apr 10, 2026

Show notes

Dorit Kemsley is having a season. She has grown apart from both Kyle and Erika, solidified Zoe as her new BFF, is in foreclosure, preparing for a new home and really, at the end of the day, does not seem to give one F about how she comes off to the rest of her diamond holding cast. Kelly Dodd seems to be unraveling more by the day. Bethenny seems to be more obsessed by the day. Last, but not least, The Golden Life has already hit a fizzle before it has even seen the airwaves.

The mega viral on line feud between Kelly Dodd Leventhal, Rick Leventhal and Dr. Dhivya Srinivasa continues with clap backs, low blows, police reports (we have them in our possession!!) and, of course, threats of lawsuits.

Class is in session! Chad also reveals our many potential causes of action, another Podcast which decided to put themselves in the middle of it all, the Bravo of it all, the Jeff Lewis of it all and last, but not least, what every Bravoleb, Influencer, Podcaster, “Reddit Rat” and everyday civilian can do - besides calling Chad - if you have also been a victim of on line abuse.
