Karen Huger’s Exit, Andy Cohen’s Nude Pics, Bethenny Frankel’s Message for Blake Lively & Teddi Health Update Feb 27, 2025

Show notes

Now that this season of RHOP has ended, and The Grand Dame has thanked everyone but Wendy Osefo for the love and memories, she faces the fight of her life as we wonder if Bravo will "officially" make a statement and let her go. Bethenny Frankel knows it all and has declared that Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ appearance last week on SNL’s 50th was nothing short of pure marketing genius. Teddi Mellencamp’s family and Edwin share health updates. Robyn Dixon shares a marriage update. Kim K and Paris Hilton’s sex tape get much deserved new love. Last, but not least, Andy Cohen’s Nude Pics leak for all to enjoy and see.

Finally, more rumors and nastiness arise surrounding the future of RHONJ and just exactly who is in and, as our good friend Heidi Klum says, who is out.
