RHOSLC begins filming ASAP and Mary Cosby is 100% on board to film, as much as she can, this season. RHOM is delayed, again, and the real reasons are not what is to be expected.

You have been forewarned.

Rachel Zoe Makes Bethenny Frankel Very Uncomfortable, Dorit's Financial Disaster & Ladies Of London's Brilliance Mar 19, 2026

Show notes

Bethenny Frankel is deeply uncomfortable with Rachel Zoe - her words - not ours, thinks RHOBH is fu*ked up - her words - not ours, and is extremely triggered by all sorts of things this week, including, but not limited to JFK, Jr. and Love Story. Dorit Kemsley’s financial mess seems to get worse by the day. From denied credit cards to mortgage foreclosures to being chased around the pool by a woman demanding payment, we cover it all. Last, but not least, Ladies of London reigns supreme, Southern Hospitality dominates and Lisa Vanderpump faces a little criticism.

Jeff Lewis Live Attack & Smackdown!!, Amanda Frances Set Up By RHOBH Cast & Kathy Hilton Sued Mar 18, 2026

Show notes

Another day, another Jeff Lewis Live smackdown, attack and argument that has set the BravoSphere on fire. One thing is for sure, Mr. Lewis is loving every second of it. Amanda Frances claims she was set up by the RHOBH cast but still manifests a lot for each of them as Golnesa claims she is not what she appears to be. Someone call Dorit…. Last, but not least, Kathy Hilton has been sued!

KELLY DODD's POLICE REPORT Against Dr. Dhivya, CEASE/ DESIST Against Us & Other Pending Lawsuits (w/ Chad Davenport, Esq.) Mar 17, 2026

Show notes

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. Seeing as this is not the first time Kelly Dodd has threatened a lawsuit against the good Doc, her on line haters (shout out Sarah From Texas) and last, but not least, this very Podcast, today the best attorney, our Litigation Attorney Chad Davenport returns to the pod - new series alert - to break down Kelly & Rick’s incorrect use of words like “defamation”, “cyberbullying”, “cyberstalking” and more. 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. This is only the beginning...
