Teresa Wants Melissa To Kick Margaret To The Curb, Kyle Hurts Dorit Bad & RHOC's Shocking Termination Dec 12, 2025

Show notes

Teresa tries to turn Melissa against Margaret to ice her out, get her fired and continue RHONJ without the Housewife who some call the only one willing to play the villain. However, all is not as it seems as Teresa and Margaret both seem to be leaking a few stories to the press these days. If history does repeat itself though - Laurita, Wakile, Staub, when Tre and Mel play nice, people seem to lose their jobs. In other news, Kyle hurts Dorit bad and they are currently not speaking at all as their fall out is about to play out now that RHOBH is back on our screens. RHOC is about to finalize its cast for Season 20 and one name on the chopping block is shocking AF. RHONY’s new cast forms. Luis Ruelas lays low. Chanel Ayan slams Keiarna and oh, so very much more.

Mauricio boos up, again, with a younger reality star. Jeff Lewis, fresh off defending Kelly Dodd’s scary behavior, finds himself in the middle of a new feud. Dolores Catania makes a huge mistake.
