In other news, the RHONY OG’s are back with a new show on E!. Bethenny Frankel, of course, has a lot of thoughts on their return. Finally, Teresa, Melissa and the rest of the RHONJ cast could be close behind with their very own return to TV E! Style. Bravo who?

Dorit's Major F Up, RHUGT Filming Tea, Porsha Schools Vicki & VPR Cousins' Only Fans Take Center Stage Feb 05, 2026

Show notes

Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip has filmed with blasts from the past (Davidson, Maloof, Richards, D., Kung Minkoff, Dixon, Grammer), drama (Porsha vs. Vicki) and a cameo which has been met with very mixed results by the one and only Nene Leakes. RHOBH is having a very off season where Amanda has turned the group upside down, Kyle has tried to share more and Dorit had one major F up which will set a total disaster of a shizstorm in motion the rest of the season. Last, but not least, Vanderpump Rules Cousins’ Only Fans turns the BravoVerse on its head in oh so very many ways.

Show notes

Dorit shares some updates on PK no one saw coming as this less than stellar, some say downright boring AF, season of RHOBH chugs along. Scheana refuses to see Lala even for Summer Moon / Ocean play dates. The Valley Persian Style is quickly running out of steam. Karamo has major drama with the Queer Eye cast. Taylor Swift’s texts to Blake Lively are exposed. Victoria Beckham is very upset. Last, but not least, Mama Elsa rises from the dead so that Marysol can sell come caviar. Has anyone checked on Meredith?

Amanda Frances' Courses Exposed, Whitney Explains Why Meredith Has To Go & Amanda Batula's $4M Prenup F Up Feb 02, 2026

Show notes

Amanda Frances, the self professed “Money Queen”, does a lot of cash talking but today we take a closer look at her courses, how much each of them cost and whether she really can afford all those python bags she raved about to Jennifer Tilly. Whitney Rose, worried about her own job, shares all her reasons why it is Meredith’s time to go. Craig Conover seems to be enjoying his single life a little too much. Last, but certainly not least, Amanda Batula did not sign a prenup and now faces what many are already calling an ugly divorce.
