Bethenny's Cafe Troubles, Crystal's RHOBH Return, Margaret's Drama w/ RHONY OGs & Everyone Hates Shannon Aug 25, 2026

Show notes

As promised, we went to Bethenny’s Supermodel cafe and despite all you have read and seen about the establishment down the street in East Quogue, we have a few things to say. Seems the town of Southhampton as well as New York State does too considering their violation notices, fines and what not. In other Hamptons news, Margaret Josephs has some Golden Life drama as things with the OG RHONY crew tend to be a tad bit different than hanging with Teresa and gang. Crystal Kung’s RHOBH future is not at all what everyone expected. RHOBH films the new season as Dorit and Erika chat. Everyone seems to be coming for Shannon these days both on and off RHOC. Last, but sure as F not least, The Shards reigns supreme. Thank you Mr. Ryan Murphy.
