Kathryn Edwards Breaks Down The Dubai Drama; “Seems To Me There’s More Than One Manipulator In The Group”

If I were asked to choose which of the two Real Housewives of Beverly Hills newbies to keep, Kathryn Edwards wins, hands down. I’ve especially enjoyed Kathryn‘s blogs throughout the season, and this week is no different. She breaks down the drama in Dubai objectively and calls out her co-stars on their messiness without being nasty.

About Lisa Rinna and Eileen Davidson‘s discussion about the word enraged, Kathryn observes, “Eileen tells Lisa R that Erika didn’t like the word ‘enraged’ and Eileen, rightfully in my opinion, says that she thinks the word was a bit big for the actual feeling with regard to Yolanda [Foster] having lunch with Kim and Brandi. Eileen decides that the word ‘upset’ is more suited to what Lisa R was actually feeling. Clearly, Lisa R is colorful, she talks with highly descriptive words that sound bigger than the actual situation or moment requires, but that is who she is. We all know that.”

Kathryn wonders why Eileen gets to decide which words are okay to use.

“How does Eileen decide when Lisa R is over-exaggerating and dramatic or when it’s real and honest? One minute it’s ‘big talk’ coming from Lisa R that’s pretty harmless, and the next minute it’s honesty and truth. Hell, I can’t tell. Lisa R says Lisa V is ‘directional’ one minute and the next minute she calls her a ‘manipulator.’ Clearly Eileen prefers the word manipulator because then she doesn’t look like the only ‘A-Hole.’ Hmm, seems to me that there’s more than one manipulator in the group if those are the terms for handing out the label.”

Kathryn suggests, “Maybe Lisa R needs to say ‘no’ to the people who want to direct her and have her do dirty work. When does accountability take effect? Stay tuned to this subject, because it’s far from over. Ugh.”

About the Munchausen drama, Kathryn shares, “Lisa R clearly introduced that word to the group. Why would Lisa V want to take Kyle down if neither Kyle or Lisa V have any guilt in where the word came from? I asked Kyle how that made her feel, because I didn’t really believe that was the case. Could it have been a miscommunication? Then Kyle co-signed on it. OK. Now I’m really confused. Do friends do this? The bottom line for me is this: If Kyle is okay with it, then that’s up to her. I do not want to determine friendships for others. If Kyle knows what it is and doesn’t have a problem, then it doesn’t concern me.”

Kathryn calls out Lisa R and Eileen for coming to dinner with an agenda.

“Lisa R and Eileen came to dinner with nothing other than wanting to make Lisa [Vanderpump] fly the white flag. That’s how it felt sitting there. Munchausen Schmunchausen, manipulation/deflection, lies/apologies. It bothered me that Eileen and Lisa R wanted to make such a big deal about something that Kyle [Richards] had no issue with. Kyle said it, she said she didn’t care if Lisa V made the comment to Rinna…why isn’t that enough for them? Kyle and Lisa V said that they love each other and are good with their friendship…good enough for me.”

Kathryn adds, “I may not understand the nature with regard to that topic, but there are a lot of relationships that have quirks, who are any of us to judge their friendship? People could ask the same question about other friendships in the group. Oh, wait a minute, they did.”

About Eileen‘s non-stop complaining about the Hamptons, Kathryn shares, “Eileen is upset about the ‘affair’ word. I get it. It bothers her. She’s entitled to feel that way, those are her feelings. That’s fair. I would never take that away from her, and she wants to be heard. So, she wanted an apology. She got one in the Hamptons, she got one at Lisa V‘s house, and maybe somewhere else I don’t remember. Eileen doesn’t feel the apologies are sincere. Problem is, it’s starting to feel like Eileen is brow beating Lisa V for the elusive half-assed apology that she’s never going to get. Now it’s morphed into the fact that Lisa V can’t/won’t apologize properly or even understands that she offended Eileen.”

Kathryn admits she doesn’t think Lisa Vanderpump set out to hurt Eileen. Also, she says, 1) Eileen needs to let it go. 2) “It feels destructive at this point.” 3) Eileen simply brought MORE ATTENTION to her affair. You know, the topic she didn’t want to talk about, then she proceeded to talk about for five months straight. “Seems counterproductive in so many ways. This friendship is going to hell in a hand basket, and it doesn’t have to.”

“I think Erika and I were lost,” Kathryn says about the dinner conversation. “We both looked at each several times with wonderment as to what was going on. The subjects were all over the place, and no one was owning anything. Don’t fret, viewers. All of this wonderful Arabian drama isn’t over yet. It was a beautiful night that ended in tears. What a shame.”

Kathryn ends her blog with a positive note about finding the good in others.

“We are fortunate to have many types of people in our lives. I have always believed that people fit into one of three categories: a reason, a season, or a lifetime. All of them are gifts: a lesson, a great memory, or a history of life-long love. All of them provide goodness, it’s our choice to recognize it.”
