Bravo Sued Again, Kyle's Sad Message About & To Mauricio & RHOP Cast's New Message For Karen Huger Mar 07, 2025

Show notes

From Karen Huger’s last words to Ray in the courtroom as she was escorted to jail to her cast mates - Gizelle, Wendy, Ashley and more - speaking out on the sentencing, Karen Huger has had quite a past two weeks. RHOP has a slot open and seems to be wasting no time in discussing the necessary cast changes to move forward with this franchise. Is anyone shocked the show is moving forward and not waiting for The Grand Dame the way they did Ms. Giudice across the river over there in the dirty jerz? Bravo get sued again by former “employees”, Kyle and Mauricio prepare for their looming unavoidable divorce and Dorit causes more drama with RHOBH cast members this week than even before. All this and more.

Karen Huger’s New Normal in Jail, Sutton Stracke The Savage, RHONY OG’s Return & RHOP's New Cast Mar 06, 2025

Show notes

Karen Huger has been sentenced to two years, one of which she will serve in jail, in her DUI case. After the sentence and calling out to Ray in the courtroom, she was immediately taken to Montgomery County Jail. But what now? We discuss how Karen got here, what she has or has not learned, so far, from this conviction and sentencing, what she will learn in jail and whether Bravo will welcome her with open arms or turn their back on her once she is done with her sentence two long years from now. Sutton Stracke doubles down on her fat wallet comment to Dorit. Erika Jayne continues to doll out sage advice. Mia Thornton continues her half truths even post reunion. Last, but not least, Summer House and Southern Hospitality continue to dominate Bravo ratings as Housewife fatigue for the audience does not seem to be ending anytime soon.

Lindsay Reads Carl For Filth, RHONY's Uncertain Future, Dr. Heavenly's BS Apology & Denise Richards' Secrets Mar 05, 2025

Show notes

Summer House and Southern Hospitality are bringing it for Bravo with huge ratings over one million per episode, season highs and drama that has us all glued to out TVs. Have these two shows have become the new Vanderpump Rules that are saving the viewers from Housewives fatigue? TJ and Joe Bradley’s did they or didn’t they, Ciara put the fear of fu$K into West, Lindsay’s single girl pregnant summer that Carl only wishes he can be a part of, Craig and Paige’s unraveling, references to Luann de Lesseps - the drama is real and non-stop. Denise Richards has a new reality show, The Baldwins have a new reality show and the future of RHONY remains as uncertain as RHONJ but no one seems to care. Will this once beloved franchise just fade into history along with the Real Housewives of Dallas or make a triumphant return with a star studded cast? We’ve got your answers. Plus Dr. Heavenly apologizes, Blake Lively freaks out - again and more!

Karen Huger's New Life In Jail & RHOP Future, Gizelle's Friendship & Melissa Gorga's RHONJ Spin Off Mar 04, 2025

Show notes

Karen Huger has been sentenced to two years, one of which she will serve in jail, in her DUI case. After the sentence and calling out to Ray in the courtroom, she was immediately taken to Montgomery County Jail. Psychic Robbin stops by today to shed light on what Karen is going through behind bars emotionally, mentally and physically as she adjusts to her new digs, cellmates, work life, surroundings and reality for, at the very least, next year of her life. With no alcohol, 5 star accommodations or RHOP castmates to rely on, Robbin lets us know how Karen is doing, how Gizelle Bryant is holding up and if it is likely she will return to RHOP when her sentence is over. In other news, Robbin talks whether Melissa or Teresa will return to RHONJ when the show returns in a year or two, what each is going through personally and financially without the show and whether it is likely either will be back on Bravo in a spin off series about their lives and family.

Sutton Slams Dorit Over Being Poorer, Kyle's Desire For Mauricio Back & Andy's Final Comments on RHONJ Mar 01, 2025

Show notes

Sutton vs. Dorit, or as Sutton calls her Poorit, takes center stage this week both on and off air as our fav Diamond Holders bring it. Sutton reminds us all that her wallet is bigger than, well, basically everyone’s except maybe her BFF Miss Tilly. Speaking of Miss Tilly, caviar for all compliments of one half of Dolce & Gabbana’s fav clients, or as they would say, friends. Erika reminds us that it is not nice to put other people down who have less, Faye Resnick makes a much coveted appearance, Tilly’s real friends are shocked at what they are witnessing as we wonder, where is Miss Camille Donatacci Grammar Meyer when we need her, or highly want her, most. Mauricio diddles and daddles, Kyle gets hurt and wakes up to the game of separation, Kathy observes quietly and oh so much more. In other news, Denise Richards’ new show premieres this week, Danielle Cabral morphs into Melissa Gorga and last, but not least, Andy Cohen has a new message regarding the future of RHONJ.
