Erika Jayne Saves Dorit From Disaster, Sutton Breaks Down & Teresa Talks New Movie About Her Life Feb 15, 2025

Show notes

Another day, another drama in the ongoing saga of PK and Dorit. No fear, Attorney Erika Jayne and newbie Boz to the rescue to remind Dorit that PK is “ruthless in business and if he is ruthless in business, he will be ruthless in the business of divorce”. Kathy Hilton calls in, Tilly is a no show, Kyle, Avi (honorary Housewife) and Garcelle eavesdrop but who are we kidding, this episode belongs to the one and only Miss Sutton Stracke. Sutton opens up about her Dad’s passing and the shiz gets real. In other news, Teresa Giudice slams RHONY and Brynn, discusses the movie of her life and last, but certainly not least, the return of RHONJ!

Dorit Changes Her Mind, Craig & Paige's Never-Ending Breakup, Ashley Darby's Lie & RHOM Erupts Feb 14, 2025

Show notes

Craig and Paige’s breakup gets uglier by the week. From podcast lies to WWHL pleas to denials, blame and everyone being a victim, this Summer House, Southern Charm cross over drama is better than anything happening on either show at the moment. Dorit walks back a lot of what she has said about PK over the past few weeks. Ashley Darby enters the Love Hotel with Lu, Shannon Beador and Gizelle even though she had a boyfriend, as featured this season on RHOP, the whole time. Hmm. RHONY and RHOSLC review their current casts with changes on the horizon and last, but certainly not least, meet new RHOM cast member, Stephanie Shojaee.

Show notes

Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney’s love affair is cut short amidst rumors of fighting over Something About Her. These two once BFFs are at a crossroads with the biz and somewhere Chef Penny is smiling ear to ear. RHOP reunites, RHONY concludes and both franchises find themselves with a cast that is about to drastically change in order to move forward. Kandi Burruss reacts to the RHOA trailer and it ain’t pretty. Blake Lively is sued again, chastised by more prior cast members and shunned by Taylor Swift. What more can go wrong? Well, do you have a second?

Teresa's Recent Call From RHONJ Producers, Secret Bravo Announcement Reveal & Harry Hamlin's Message To Bethenny Feb 12, 2025

Show notes

Rumors have surfaced that a huge, and we mean huge, Bravo announcement is coming any day now. We break down what that announcement is likely to be, the fact that it may involve RHONJ, a new housewife franchise or the changing of many “big named well known” guards behind, or in front of, the iron curtain. Speaking of RHONJ, Teresa Giudice reveals details of her recent phone call from Bravo Producers. Our very own Dolores, Ciara and Sandoval hang in there on The Traitors as we bid farewell to the icon that is Boston Rob and explain who is going to win this game! Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin announce their very own new pod, revisit Aspen with Kathy Hilton, shade LVP and respond to Bethenny’s claim that Harry’s sauce sucks. Last, but certainly not least, Kyle Richards breaks the BFF code and reveals new tea about Teddi, shares details on their living situation and what we can expect the rest of this RHOBH season.
