Show notes

Another day, another up and down in the Kelly Dodd vs. Jolie saga. Kelly’s brother Eric Meza released a video earlier this week which implies all sorts of things Kelly has done, said and re-done to Jolie which have left fans absolutely speechless. Kandi Burruss’ divorce gets uglier and nastier by the day with claims of side girlfriends for Kandi, baby mama’s for Todd, child custody disagreements and one epic prenup which Todd seemingly wants to challenge. With Kandi Burruss money involved, who can blame him. Last, but not least, Gizelle and Robyn harasss global superstar and Icon, Eminem.

Tamra's Still Confused, Teresa's Liability Luis Ruelas, Vicki Wants Kelly Back & The End of All Housewives Dec 06, 2025

Show notes

Despite the shocking voicemail that surfaced earlier this week from Kelly Dodd attacking daughter Jolie, Miss Vicki Gunvalson is out in these streets asking for Ms. Dodd’s return to RHOC. Heather Dubrow says that’s a wrap and that she looks forward to Season 20, but Tamra remains very confused about many things surrounding Season 19 and we cannot say we blame her. Regardless of the reconciliation heard round the world, Teresa still has one major hurdle to overcome if she wants to ever return to RHONJ… Luis Ruelas. Last, but not least, rumors and nastiness surface yet again that NBC is over all the lawsuits, liabilities and cost and wants to end all Housewives soon. Plus, we share an unedited Part III of everyone’s shady AF questions from our live show to which we cannot plead the fifth.

Jeff Lewis Meddles Too Far This Time, Tamra's Warning To RHOC Producers & Melissa's Message For Gia Dec 05, 2025

Show notes

Many people have been trashing Kelly Dodd over her unhinged rant against daughter Jolie - which we covered earlier today - but Jeff Lewis says not so fast. Jeff issues a formal statement defending his - for lack of a better word - friend. Tamra Judge has a warning for RHOC producers ahead of next season’s 20th. Melissa Gorga has something to say to her niece Gia. Mary Cosby’s son receives more bad news. Patricia Altschul and Paige DeSorbo triple down on their feud. Heather Dubrow makes moves. Craig Conover moves on from Paige. Golnessa and Kate Chastain feud. Last, but certainly not least, All’s Fair continues to reign supreme with stellar episodes, iconic one liners, huge ratings and a second season pick up. Whoo hoo!

Kelly Dodd Goes Psycho on Daughter Again, RHOBH Returns (What To Expect) & Tamra Threatens To Sue Gretchen Dec 05, 2025

Show notes

Kelly Dodd has threatened her daughter Jolie who she called a “stupid” “dumb” “little girl” in a now viral video that has made all the rounds online. Kelly has clapped back saying all is definitely not as it seems and once she can speak on it, we will all be speechless. RHOBH has returned and it is officially back in our lives and there is a lot to unpack, newbies and all. Finally, with this season of RHOC a distant memory, Tamra seemingly threatens to sue Gretchen for alleging all sorts of stuff.

Margaret Turns on Melissa, Andy’s Message For Teresa, VPR Cast Avoids LVP & Kyle Refuses To Talk About Kim Dec 04, 2025

Show notes

Melissa and Teresa turned it on big time, and some say stole the show, at BravoCon but now that the Vegas lights have faded, their cast seems to have a lot to say about this so called reconciliation Margaret turns on Melissa, Dolores collects multiple paychecks and Andy Cohen comes forward with a message, and warning, for Tre and Mel, Luis and Joey G too. The VPR OG cast avoids LVP. Kyle refuses to talk about Kim. Things are only getting worse for Wendy Osefo by the week. Last, but not least, RHOBH is back in our lives for what seems to be one stellar season.

PK Slams Dorit As a Liar, Kyle Runs Into LVP, Erika's Attorney Allegedly Steals, Gia Wins & RHONY's New Cast Dec 03, 2025

Show notes

With the new season of RHOBH premiering tomorrow night, PK slams Dorit as a liar and remains in the dark as far as what to expect this season from Dorit, Mo, Kyle and more as his divorce remains front and center for another season. Kyle runs into Lisa Vanderpump. LVP avoids the RHOBH cast. The VPR OG cast avoids LVP but she does not seem to care as lighting may have struck twice with her new cast of hotties already bringing it and we are only one episode in. Erika’s attorney allegedly used PPE loans to fund her lavish lifestyle. Here we go again. Gia wins big in a move we never saw coming. Last, but not least, the new RHONY cast becomes clear and is expected to be announced any day now.

Tamra’s Psychotic Break, Kandi/ Todd Divorce, Jen Shah Goes Free & HubHouse's Smack Down of Sandoval Dec 02, 2025

Show notes

Now that the RHOC has come and gone, Tamra Judge seems to be going through what some call a psychotic break as RHOC producers prepare to finalize just who will be joining Vicki when RHOC resumes filming early next year. Kandi and Todd’s divorce gets uglier with cheating allegations, prenups and a whole lotta he said, she said. Jen Shah prepares to be released from prison next week having served only two years of her six and a half year sentence. Finally, new details emerge regarding Lindsay Hubbard and Tom Sandoval’s BravoCon show down of epic proportion.

Tricia Lee steps Behind The Rope. Owning Manhattan’s Tricia Lee, that is. A mere few days away from the premiere of Season Two, Tricia stops by to mention it all. Tricia explains how this season was different for her, reveals shocking outcomes for some of her cast mates after the first season aired and discusses all the drama we can expect from Season Two. New agents, Ryan’s favs versus the newbies and so much more in what Ryan calls a season of all out real estate warfare. Tricia also talks office romance, Brooklyn, NYC, Serhant and, of course, real estate!
