Kyle Richards’ Misplaced Anger, Jax Taylor’s Insane Revelations & Ciara and Jesse Grow Closer Apr 24, 2025

Show notes

Jax Taylor seems to wanna talk and talk and talk - to the press that is - now that The Valley has returned and one revelation is more shocking than the next. Kristen Doute is validated, vindicated and hailed as the Queen she always knew she was. Denise Richards chats the future of her show, Charlie Sheen and RHOBH. RHONJ, RHONY and RHOP remain on pause. RHOC and RHOSLC continue to film as the tea from both spilt over. RHOM prepares to return and for those who often ask, no, RHODub ain’t coming back. Ciara and Jesse grow closer but will West give his blessing? Bronwyn Newport, or whatever her real name is, is accused, again, of identity fraud and other serious crimes, but does she even care? Finally, Kyle Richards has a run in with the dogs, acts tough and scared at the same time, comes out again and last, but not least, reminds us that she will be revealing nothing about Morgan, Mo or anything else she considers sacred in her life. Someone cue the music for RHOBH Season 15...

Jax Slams LVP, Porsha’s Insane New Kenya Claim, RHOSLC Season 6 Spoilers & Schwartzy / Sandoval Break Up Apr 23, 2025

Show notes

The Valley is back and the drama is real both on and off air. Jax is jaxing as only Jax can. Jax slams LVP, ignores the cast except for Brittany and Kristen, declares he wants to be selfish, slams Lala and Scheana, praises Schwartzy and offers unsolicited advice to the new cast of Vanderpump Rules which began filming last week. Speaking of VPR, Schwartzy and Sandy break up. The tension between Porsha and Kenya heats up as newbies Brit and Kelli weigh in as new info is being released by the day. Ramona Singer reminds us why she is The Singer Stinger. Leaks and tea spills out from the currently filming RHOSLC Season Six. Alexis Bellino acts rude, Erika Jayne uses excuses in court and Dorit and PK actually share a bit of good news which they both seem to need.

Gia Giudice Uses Bethenny, Meredith Marks' RHOSLC "Suspension" & Dolores Catania's Hypocrisy Apr 22, 2025

Show notes

Gia Giudice keeps clapping back at herself in a non existent fight with Bethenny who seems too preoccupied in relocating to Florida - for all the obvious reasons - to even give a shiz. Of course, none of this will be on Next Gen but a group of randomly thrown together friends living in NYC is set to hit our Bravo screens this summer. Rumors and nastiness hit the RHOSLC streets last week as chatter about Meredith Marks being suspended from, and/or walking off filming for the upcoming RHOSLC Season 6 arose. We break down those rumors, reveal what caused them, separate fact from fiction and discuss just who - Mary, Lisa, Whit, Heather, Angie, Bronwyn, Britani - was involved in Meredith’s rumored stage five meltdown. Finally, Dolores Catania weighs in on a lot of RHOBH drama which has, at best, very little to do with her.
