EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: RHOSLC's Olivia Bateman Nov 04, 2025

Show notes

Hello Bravo Bosses!

I am so lucky today to be joined by Olivia Bateman, Britani Bateman's daughter, for an exclusive interview. Olivia tells us her life story growing up in Utah amongst predominately Mormons despite being raised atheist and the ramifications of not being Mormon on her friendships. She talks her relationship with her mom and when and how it changed including what the perfect relationship with her mom would look like. Olivia doesn't hold back about her scene in the coffee shop with her mom and why it made her feel empowered. She tells us the real truth about Jared Osmond and squashes rumors about Bronwyn preventing her from filming that Britani brought up on The Viall Files. Olivia also talks future plans including Bravocon and which real housewife is her favorite!

Show notes

Hello Bravo Bosses and happy TUESDAY! You can watch this episode on YouTube!

Today on our reality roundup, we are breaking down the latest reality tv news stories including:

Love is Blind

Little Miss Annie apparently has a bit of a checked criminal history. We dive into it as well as consider whether it was appropriate to cast her and whether it explains some of her fights with Nick.

RHOP

In the latest Wendy and Happy Eddie news, Wendy accuses the police of illegally arresting her and we get into what that means PLUS Gizelle and Robyn react!

The Chrisleys

I've always wanted to know what happened between Lindsie Chrisley and the rest of her family....and now I do! From salacious tweets and cease and desists from your own dad. This story will make your stomach turn.

RHOBH

This week in Aaron and Denise Richards' divorce, Aaron threatens the cousin who saw him hurt Denise because of course he did.
Garcelle has been making her media rounds talking all things RHOBH and her friendship with Sutton and I give you all the deets!

Love you BBs!

Patreon Teaser: The Perfect Neighbor with Mani aka @mixingwithmani Oct 26, 2025

Show notes

Hello Bravo CEOs or Bravo CEO wannabes!

Today is a teaser of my Patreon tier for Bravo CEOs! On the Bravo CEOs tier for $10 per month, patreons get everything you get under the Bravo Bosses tier which is 4 extra podcast episodes per month, ad free episodes, early episodes and bonus content PLUS 1 documentary recap per month, a special shout out on the pod and more personal access to me!

I think it's totally worth it!

I've recapped Fit for TV: The Reality of the Biggest Loser and AKA Charlie Sheen and now The Perfect Neighbor. For this episode, I brought my friend Mani to help me breakdown Netflix's newest crime documentary The Perfect Neighbour. It's a very interesting but also upsetting watch so keep that in mind before you venture into it. However, I think the documentary gives a very realistic perspective of how black people are treated by white people in America in a way that was completely unbiased because it was comprised completely of bodycam footage.

If you want to hear the full episode, sign up for the $10 tier on Patreon for Bravo CEOs!

Let me know which documentary you'd love me to cover next!

Show notes

Hello Bravo Bosses and Happy Monday! You can watch this episode on YouTube!

I'm sorry that my sound is a little echoey today! I had to use a different mic at the last minute. I'll make sure things are back to normal next time!

Today I am joined by Kiki Monique to break down alllll the news in the reality TV space including:

RHOBH

Kiki attended Denise Richards' hearing seeking a permanent restraining order against her ex Aaron Phypers. Not only did Kiki break down all the crazy testimony, she was there when Aaron got arrested for spousal abuse and she's here to tell all!

Love is Blind

Kiki and I break down Madison and Annie's interviews on Love to See It and The Viall Files as well as spill some very hot tea on Joe's new girlfriend AND how Kacie has been inserting herself into his life! WTF!

Southern Charm

Olivia Flowres ends her engagement and Kiki and theorize as to why. We also discussed J Lo's appearance on Watch What Happens Live including what we think she REALLY knew about Southern Charm.

Next Gen NYC

Hudson and Ariana have broken up and we are upset! But Kiki and I talk our love for Next Gen NYC and what being a single gal in NYC can do for our gal Ariana!

RHOSLC

Britani has an announcement! She's starring in her own cabaret show and we love to see it!

McBee Dynasty

Kiki and I talk about our love for this show, season 3 and Steve Sr. 24 month sentencing for crop fraud! How is this fraud situation treated differently than Jen Shah or Wendy Osefo?
