CYNTHIA BAILEY (on Kenya Moore, Teresa & Luis, Bravo Lawsuits, Porsha & Nene Leakes) Jun 29, 2025

Show notes

Cynthia Bailey steps back Behind The Rope. What a season of RHOA this has been. Kenya’s exit, Phaedra’s return, Porsha’s failure to make the mark she was bought back to, newbie Angela, low ratings, Brit’s exit and current $20M lawsuit against Bravo, NBC and RHOA Production. The one constant has been Cynthia Bailey and, as a result, we figured today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat with the one and only Miss Cynthia Bailey. Cynthia is here to talk all things RHOA but, somehow, the convo turns to dinner out with Madonna, Nene Leakes, Celeb Big Bro and last, but certainly not least, her friends Teresa Giudice and Luis Ruelas.

Show notes

Kyle Richards faces new heartbreak this week in very unexpected places and from very unexpected sources.

Bethenny Frankel gets the last laugh. Lisa Rinna has a new message for Andy Cohen from behind the gates of the now infamous Scottish Castle on Traitors Four. Crystal Kung calls her lawyers on Sutton Stracke. Paige DeSorbo disappears, Stassi Schroeder receives some good news this week and oh, so very much more.

Bravo To Axe All Of Housewives Over Lawsuit(?), Kyle/ Zoe's Inevitable Friendship End & Housewives Fear Bethenny Jun 26, 2025

Show notes

Bravo considers axing entire Housewives Franchise after Brit Eady’s new $20M lawsuit. People are saying the champagne is flat, the taglines are tired and that NBC has just had enough. Grumblings emerge that Kenya Moore may sue next as rumored pandemonium breaks out behind closed doors at Bravo. Housewives fear Bethenny Frankel as she continues to double down, do her own thing and, as she likes to tell you, make money honey. Kenya Moore reignites a decade old feud as she spills behind the scenes secrets from RHOA production. Kyle Richards and Rachel Zoe gear up for an RHOBH season which will test their friendship LVP style. Kim and Kroy still refuse to live in the real world and Ariana breaks out as the star of NYC Next Gen. Speaking of Next Gen….

Show notes

Teresa Giudice abruptly ended an interview on Live TV last week after being questioned about her family not paying taxes to the tune of a $3 million dollar, several year long, accumulated tax debt. Today, we break our silence on the matter explaining exactly how this question got asked, Teresa’s walk off, the larger ramifications and implications of the question, the very bad news for Teresa as a result and what this means for Teresa’s future with Bravo and RHONJ, if RHONJ ever does possibly return in the distant future. In other news, we address the question many of you have been asking, where is Louie Ruelas? We discuss Louie’s strategic absence from social media, business and much more as it relates to The Giudice family. Finally, shocking rumors have arisen about Kelly Dodd. We address all these trigger warning inducing rumors, explain exactly what Kelly allegedly did, break down the pictures floating around on-line, reveal the shocking supposed voicemail to her ex husband Michael and much more. Has Kelly Dodd finally lost it or is this just fiction fabricated by one of Kelly’s many haters? We break down the info surrounding this nsfw rumored event and discuss it all right here, right now today!

The Valley’s Major Cast Changes, Summer House Casting Shockers & Gizelle and Robyn’s Cluelessness Jun 25, 2025

Show notes

The Valley’s executive production team has made one thing clear, major cast changes are expected for Season Three. We break down what is expected, who will stay, who will go, if Tom Schwartz and Sandoval are really headed to The Valley and will the audience’s strong call for Jax Taylor to be fired actually come true? Meanwhile, Kristen Doute warns Jax about a few things moving forward that only KD is capable of saying. RHOM chugs along to poor ratings, fake storylines, one hot new man and a bunch of feuds we never knew we needed but somehow cannot do without. Finally, Gizelle Bryant and Robin Dixon weigh in on a few matters they seemingly know nothing about as RHOP continues to film with Monique back seemingly better than ever.

Half Next Gen Cast Quits Over Gia, Summer House Spin Off & NBC Exec Reveals What Gets Housewives Fired Jun 22, 2025

Show notes

As the freshman season of Next Gen NYC chugs along to great fan reception and poor ratings, several individuals have come forward claiming that they were part of the original cast and dropped out as a result of Gia Giudice and, to a lesser extent, Ariana Biermann’s involvement with the show. The individuals explain who they are and why they did not want to be part of a “Housewife Kids” show. Speaking of NYC, Summer House spin off rumors arise again with Paige DeSorbo and Lindsay Hubbard front and center. Meanwhile, behind the scene, a top NBC / Bravo executive shares what will really get a Real Housewife fired, why there are so many Housewives with a criminal record and how they deal with cast scandals and real life addiction issues. Finally, Jennifer Aydin speaks out to address her marriage, RHONJ future, Teresa and much more for those in the back row who were wondering.

EVA MARCILLE (on RHOA, Kenya Moore, Porsha, Shamea, Nene, Top Model, Tyra Banks & Bolo) Jun 22, 2025

Show notes

Eva Marcille steps Behind The Rope. Eva is here to, as we like to say, mention it all. Eva chats RHOA - highs and lows, Kenya, Porsha, Shamea, Kandi, Nene, Bolo and The Grand Dame herself, Karen Huger. Eva also chats winning the third cycle of America’s Next Top Model in 2004. With this stellar return to form season of RHOA well underway, with or without Kenya, we figure today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat with the one and only Eva Marcille. Eva opens up about ANTM, that experience, Tyra, her feud with Janice Dickinson and, of course, appearing in JLO’s “Live It Up” video. As we said, it’s an RHOA extravaganza today and Eva mentions it all.
