Kristen Doute Makes Rambling Speech At Tom And Katie’s Engagement Party; Jax And James Fight It Out
Love them or hate them, James Kennedy and Lala Kent are shaking things up this season on Vanderpump Rules. And tonight they keep bringing that drama. James gets under Jax Taylor’s skin for the 600th time and Lala says what everyone else is thinking during a boring speech by Kristen Doute.
Lisa Vanderpump caves and allows Katie Maloney and Tom Schwartz to throw their engagement party at Villa Rosa. Despite her wishes to keep Kristen and Stassi off of her property, they show up anyway. And Kristen annoys everyone (except Katie) with a long, rambling speech that is awkward and mostly about her taking credit for the coupling. Lala basically blurts out what everyone is thinking – STFU!
After the party dies down, they move things over to SUR, much to Lisa’s chagrin since she knows the nonsense that happens when you mix this crew with alcohol and celebrations of any kind. And she’s right to be nervous. James gets wasted and Jax feels the need to put on his superhero cape and teach James a lesson in how to treat women properly. I couldn’t even type that with a straight face. Is it wrong to sorta hope that scrawny James wins?
The fun starts promptly at 9/8 CST!, so don’t be late!!

Camille Grammer Wins Victory In Lawsuit Against Ex-Boyfriend Dimitri Charalambopoulos
Camille Grammer has scored a legal victory against her ex-boyfriend Dimitri Charalambopoulos and was awarded $121,000.
In 2013 while she was recovering from cancer surgery, the former Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star reported that Dimitri, her boyfriend of two years following her divorce from Kelsey Grammer, had assaulted her. In response to her allegations, Dimitri filed a lawsuit against Camille accusing her of malicious persecution and defamation of character.
Camille fought back with a counter-suit for assault and battery, also requesting Dimitri’s claims against her be dismissed. The exes have been battling in court for two years.
CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!
The basis of Dimitri’s suit being that, despite Camille going to police and providing photographs of the alleged domestic violence, charges were never filed against him due to lack of evidence. Furthermore he accused Camille of fabricating her allegations because she believed he was cheating on her. Dimitri accused Camille of lying to police by reporting that he violated a restraining order against her. Camille denied all of his accounts.
In January of last year, a Texas judge denied Camille’s request to have Dimitri’s suit dismissed because he was able to provide evidence that Camille was communicating with tabloid journalists to provide details about his alleged assault against her. Camille defended her actions by insisting she never made untrue statements to the press and her recounts coincided with details she had previously provided police.
However, the judge also dismissed 4 of Dimitri’s 7 claims against Camille. The Daily Mail reports that the judge upheld his claims of malicious prosecution and defamation as a result of comments Camille made against Dimitri on Dr. Oz and social media.
However, Camille was also awarded more than $119,000 towards her legal fees, plus an additional $2,300 for other litigation expenses.
The judge is still deciding whether to dismiss the remainder of Dimitri’s claims against Camille. Stay tuned!

Katie Rost on Gizelle Bryant: “She Needs To Be Cautious With Her Words”
After defending herself against Gizelle Bryant’s drug accusations on this week’s Real Housewives of Potomac, Katie Rost wants to warn her castmate to watch her words. And her back? Because Katie is not playing anymore. She might be clinically insane, but she is not a drug addict, ya’ll!
In her blog, Katie describes giving Gizelle a “taste of her own medicine” by casting rumors out there about Gizelle’s sex life. She explains, “The Sister Circle was about sharing, not about acting like 5-0 and treating me like a criminal. Obviously if I thought I needed to ‘share’ something, I would have. I had no issues to share and the issue she brought up was a made up issue. It wasn’t Gizelle’s place to drop rumors as if they are fact. I am a grown woman. She needs to watch her mouth. I simply gave her a taste of her own medicine the next morning. I repeated things I’ve been concerned about. Promiscuous behavior was something I thought perhaps she wanted to share, I only said it out of concern” Sure, Katie…suuuuuure.
CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!
Katie reflects on confronting Gizelle after their Old Time Photo Shoot. She blogs, “I feel that it important for me to let her know that she needs to be cautious with her words. I don’t know if she was genuinely sorry, but I said my peace.” (Peace!?!? Okay, then, Ball and Gala Girl!)
One bright spot of this episode (at least for Katie) was the discussion of her intense, almost frightening desire for marriage #2 to boyfriend Andrew. She shares, “I really enjoyed discussing marriage with the ladies. They all have interesting perspectives based on their experiences with marriage.”
RELATED: REAL HOUSEWIVES OF POTOMAC RENEWED FOR SEASON 2
Katie jokes that, “I would not let Karen [Huger] pick my wedding ring BUT I think she has fabulous taste and can certainly steer Andrew in the right direction.”
When it came to Ashley Darby’s husband Michael crashing their girls’ trip, Katie seemed like the only cool customer in the room. She admits, “I started PRAISING THE LORD when Michael showed up!! I was very happy to see him. There was too much estrogen in the house! I was really surprised that Karen was as upset as she was. Gizelle always makes something more dramatic than it needs to be so her reaction was just another day that ends with Y. Michael is lovely and unlike Ray, Andrew was happy that Michael was there to make sure we were all okay.”

Teresa Giudice is home from the Real Housewives of New Jersey cast trip to Vermont, and with less than two weeks until husband Joe Giudice reports to prison, she is squeezing in as much family time as possible.
This weekend, Teresa was spotted at a cheer competition for Milania, a family wedding, and unfortunately for the dog, the groomer. The poor dog came home dyed pinkish purple with cheetah spots.
Like I said, Joe reports to prison soon, on March 23. While he’s looking forward to being forced to sober up, Teresa is focusing on the now, “We’re just taking it day by day and just focusing on being with our daughters [never mind the trip sans kids to Vermont] and with each other. We’re enjoying every minute that we have with each other.” See photos from their weekend below.

Gizelle Bryant Calls Out Katie Rost for Hiding, Lying, and Fronting!
This week it seemed like Gizelle Bryant had it out for castmate and self-proclaimed socialite, Katie Rost. But when Katie confronted Gizelle about her shady interrogations, Gizelle uncharacteristically backed down. The Real Housewives of Potomac stars are not done with their beef yet, however, and have taken to their blogs to rehash the drama!
Gizelle first calls Katie out for playing turtle on their girls’ weekend at Ashley Darby’s beach house: i.e. hiding in her shell the whole time. She snarks, “Katie spent the majority of the time locked away in her room, or the bathroom or any corner away from the group. In order for me to be ‘mean’ to Katie I first would need to have an FBI investigation to find her.”
CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!
“I didn’t know that Katie is the kind of woman that you can’t say ANYTHING to…now I know and will keep our conversations limited to the color of the sky, tulips and rainbows,” reflects Gizelle. “Brynee and Charisse [Jordan] acting like I was attacking Katie I totally understand because Katie always acts like a wounded bird that needs to be nursed back to health. Again, I wasn’t the first to bring up Katie’s strange party behavior.”
So, was Gizelle concerned about Katie putting a few rumors of her own out there, like how Gizelle maintains multiple sex partners at all times? Gizelle says no. She remains #Unbothered…or at least, she claims to remain so!
Gizelle jokes, “I love to talk about rumors especially when they’re about ME. I love to find out what the streets are saying or what Katie is making up in her fantasy mind. Street Talk Game 101…if you’re going to throw out a rumor then you have to stay and defend your rumor. When you run away faster than Usain Bolt and don’t defend the rumor…well, then everyone thinks what they already know…you’re a LIAR.”
Rather than being put off with Katie’s confrontation after their Old Time Photo Shoot, Gizelle shares that she actually respected Katie’s newly-grown cajones! “When Katie started talking so ‘business like’ with no laughs and giggles I thought well let me get my navy blue business suit, crisp white shirt, and three and a half inch heels. I had never seen an assertive Katie before, this person should show up more often,” blogs Gizelle.
Moving on to the bigger drama of this week’s episode, Gizelle reacts to Ashley’s husband Michael crashing their girls’ weekend. She argues, “It was a girl’s trip so we were free to run around the house in our lace and thongs if we saw fit. So, with Michael being there the dynamic shifted. Michael owns the house so clearly he can show up whenever he pleases. Furthermore, I’m sure Michael enjoyed sleeping in the house with his wife and six other women. He might have even had a fantasy or two about us all singing the Australian National Anthem.”

Real Housewives Of Atlanta Finale Recap: Unhappy Endings
Last night was the season finale of Real Housewives Of Atlanta and everyone wants to know: Did Phaedra Parks call the feds on Kandi Burruss?
For Kandi and Todd it has been a shocking couple of years filled with extreme ups (getting married, finally getting pregnant) and extreme downs (Mama Joyce, Todd’s mother Sharon passing away unexpectedly, and Kandi losing her friendship to Phaedra). A year after Sharon’s death, with Kandi having only 5 weeks to go until baby Ace arrives, they visit Sharon’s grave. Her tombstone reads, “A great mother and the life of the party.”
After returning from her visit with Apollo, Phaedra is in the mood to do something fun and festive. She decides to celebrate the holidays by throwing an over-the-top Christmas party. I do love Dwight and his undercover shade.
CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR THE REST!
While she’s whipping up a sweet potato souffle, Porsha Williams drops by for a little tea stirred with a little juice (provided by a Reality Tea headline). On the first day of Christmas Dish Nation gave to Porsha a little bird bearing gossip about the Feds making an appearance at Kandi’s house to seize Apollo’s assets — after Phaedra possibly alerted them! Phaedra is non-committal, musing, “Mmmm… Mmmmm… Mmmmm…” and averting her eyes.
“Can you imagine what it’s like to have the Feds show up at your door,” expresses a shocked Porsha, obviously forgetting who is standing right in front of her. Needless to say, it seems Phaedra put little karma in Kandi’s stocking! Phaedra denies being involved. Then Porsha mentions that Cynthia Bailey also has some of Apollo’s things stored at her house. In response Phaedra merely raises her eyebrows and comments about what “bosom buddies” Apollo and Peter were in the months before Apollo left for prison.
Even if Phaedra did call – so what?! She could be liable if she knows where Apollo’s assets are hidden but doesn’t report it. I would call too – she has her children to think about and wants to put the mess with Apollo behind her. It’s shady of Kandi to be storing his stuff anyway, especially while professing to be such a good friend of Phaedra’s. “I wonder how Kandi would feel if I had some of Todd’s things?” muses Phaedra.
Far from getting punished for aiding and abetting a bad, bad boy, Peter is about to get a happy ending! After a difficult year of marriage, Cynthia wasn’t attracted to Peter. Since the trip to Jamaica her fibroids loins are on fire again! Peter is returning from somewhere, so to welcome him home Cynthia staged a sexy surprise by turning their house into a spa where she plays masseuse. Mal helps Cynthia stage the scene, before quickly running out the door while barfing at the thought of Cynthi-Peachter sexytimes!
When Peter sees the set-up, he immediately starts stripping to get ready for action. He gets right down to his boxer briefs and threatens to take those off before Cynthia quickly covers him with a sheet to avoid burning her eyes. She turns into the giggling Cynthi-bot pretending to be so excited about the upcoming Happy Ending Peter has coming!
As Cynthia is rubbing all over Peachter, Skinemaxx-style, going further and further down to Happy Ending zone, Noelle and Leon come down the stairs. Oops! Cynthia thought they were already gone for the weekend, but never checked! Nothing like perfect timing! Peachter ends up with a fallen branch into the rotten peaches.
That was cringe-worthy, awkward, and gross. I was hiding my eyes – as was Cynthia – and I didn’t even have a sheet at my disposal. This phony happy marriage charade needs to stop.
At Kenya Moore‘s house Matt arrives bearing gifts: Two Yorkie puppies. That was also insincere – Kenya seemed completely meh to get the puppies. She knew they were coming, but had nothing prepared and just let them wander around, sniffing, like maybe they’d been living there a while. Her only rule is no going in mommy’s closet? Kenya names them King and Twirl.
Kenya and Matt discuss Phaedra’s party. Since Kenya was raised Jehovah Witness (HUH?!) she never celebrated holidays and has no idea what to wear to a Christmas party. Fishnets with shoulder pads taped to her butt cheeks? Kenya regales Matt with the tale of Phaedra possibly calling the Feds on Kandi, laughing that it’s a “hood-adjacent” situation given that Apollo is in prison. She’s glad she’s not involved. For once. That probably does seem nice, doesn’t it – Note to Future Krayonce Self: not causing insane drama can be pleasant.
Porsha visits her OB/GYN, because being around other pregnant ladies has her worried that she’ll never be able to have children of her own. Step 1) Stop acting like a child? Actually it’s a little scary. Porsha had a miscarriage while she was married due to fibroids. She got surgery to remove them and had a follow-up ultrasound to see if they’ve returned. If they haven’t, she’s considering freezing her eggs until she meets (and keeps a man), then she can throw a real baby shower, not a baby-man smothering.
When giving her medical history to the nurse, Porsha slips and said she was “widowed” instead of “divorced”. Interesting Freudian slip (not sold by Naked Lingerie!) considering divorcing Kordell seemed to signal a sort of death of the lifestyle Porsha envisioned for herself and it was certainly the death of the Porsha as we knew her, replaced with Coco, Chanel, and Princess of THOTlandia! Thankfully the doctor tells Porsha everything looks good but she should worry about getting a man first. Yes – don’t count your eggs before they have place to hatch, girl!
For Phaedra’s party Dwight is transforming his salon into a winter wonderland. Which includes a real-life Elf On A Shelf played by Ayden. Was that safe? What if he fell off the shelf? Bob Whitfield also played Santa! Miss Juicy Baby from Little Women: Atlanta also appeared as one of Santa’s elves.
Ayden passes out coal to all the “bad girls,” while Phaedra cackles with glee. Then Kandi arrives. What do you get for Christmas if you ratted out your friends to the Feds? Coal? Shame? Vengeance? We certainly learned that for the friend who harbored your felon ex-husband’s hidden goods, you wrap up the Feds in an unmarked car to watch their house!
Until she knows exactly where she stands with Phaedra, Kandi’s decided to keep her distance – behind the icicles conveniently!
Meanwhile Bob wants back into Sheree Whitfield‘s heart. He promising her that mythical 7-figures for Christmas in exchange for her hanging his stocking under her mistletoe. NeNe Leakes saunters in. Clearly she’s giving everyone her exceptional presence for Christmas. White Elephant gift? Then comes two little happy feet, tapping all the way from THOTlandia, in the form of Porsha and Shamea Morton dressed as a skanky penguins. The Ayden on the Shelf didn’t even bother with coal.
Then Kenya bursts through the door dressed as The Grinch. She was definitely hoping for some sort of reaction from Phaedra – and reaction she got: Phaedra loved it!
All in all, Kenya certainly found the perfect Christmas character for her. She is, quite literally, the Grinch who stole Real Housewives Of Atlanta. Krayonce for Kristmas! NeNe laughs that if Kenya can hold onto Matt after painting herself green, then he’s worth every cent.
The theme of this party is clearly making amends before moving onto the new year. Therefore NeNe approaches Kandi to let her know there’s no hard feelings, and she has no idea why they’ve never gotten along. Kandi chalks it up to them both having strong personalities. That’s kind – I blame NeNe’s enormous ego, coupled with a heaping dose of jealousy-based competitiveness.
Anyone else find it interesting that NeNe is interested in making peace now that Kandi and Phaedra are on the outs?
Todd, conversing with the husbands, admits Phaedra never paid him the full amount for the workout video. She coughed-up half of the final payment, so Todd has decided to let go of depending on phony promises attached to Paychecks By Phaedra! I do wonder if Phaedra ever got a video?
Meanwhile Kim Fields, wearing a dress made of gold and sparkly rivulets of delusion, thanks Phaedra for all the support she’s given her during filming, so if Phaedra ever needs “a village” to help with her kids, Kim’s family will be there. Does Kim’s village include babysitting? Phaedra is impressed with Kim’s genuine kindness.
There in the corner is Tammy! Lord knows where she scuttled out from under… Sheree is surprised to see her, but Phaedra confesses to being rightly obsessed with the absurdity of the blonde on bronze enigma that is Tammy. She is swilling a Corona and swinging those braids!
Sheree decides to do a little due-diligence by asking both Bob and Tammy about their alleged affair – the one Bob said they had, which Tammy denied. Confronted by both women staring him down, Bob clears his throat, mops his brow, and channels his inner Bill Clinton. “What’s wrong, Boo? Slut got your tongue?” Sheree wonders. Bob denies having sexual relations with that woman, but admits he was trying to make Sheree jealous. “It’s hot in here,” Bob adds. “That’s because you’re in the kitchen,” deadpans Sheree.
Bob tries to blame his lie on his wonky eye and brain injury, but Sheree gives him enough side-eye to make his other eye go wonky too. Tammy observes that they should just get back together, then lurches away in search of the next cold Corona and a YouTube tutorial on Fishtail braids. Her job here is done.
But Kenya’s job has just begun! Kenya questions Cynthia and Sheree about the Feds visiting Kandi. Cynthia shares that they came to her house too! Cynthia doesn’t seem to care about who called them – Kenya cares, though.
Phaedra briefly joins the group and Kenya immediately questions her about the Fed situation. Phaedra is evasive as ever, then excuses herself to attend to…. something, um, else. The something clogging up Phaedra’s mouth is actually clogging. Actually, tap-dancing with Christopher!
Christopher lets his sassy out and shows off the processional dancer he is. It was great! The entire cast started dancing – Phaedra even pulled Todd on the floor. Thankfully Porsha refrained from twerking or dropping it like it was ice-cold.
While it seems like a happy ending and a merry occasion for all, Kandi still has her doubts about Phaedra’s friendship – she’s not alone.
TELL US – DO YOU THINK PHAEDRA CALLED THE FEDS ON KANDI?

Real Housewives of Potomac Recap: Reading Is Fundamental
The ladies hit the beach last week on the Real Housewives of Potomac, and the air conditioning at Ashley Darby’s beach house wasn’t the only thing that broke down. But last night, the girls’ trip turned into a Plus One event when Ashley’s husband Michael decided to crash. And Karen Huger did not take too kindly to this etiquette breach!
We pick up on the couches, where the ladies are sharing some personal issues with the group, at the prodding of Charrisse Jackson-Jordan. Robyn Dixon confesses that her husband Juan’s best friend took a lot of money from them in a ponzi scheme, which pretty much decimated their financial capital. Robyn cries, noting the trust issues she carries around now as a result of being betrayed. Ashley reflects on what a floating turd she now looks like for spreading gossip about Robyn’s bankruptcy in the past.

Ashley wonders if Katie Rost wants to share anything with the group? Katie’s short answer: nah. But Gizelle Bryant pushes Katie to divulge if everything is indeed okay with her, given her outlandish PDA with boyfriend Andrew at Ashley’s birthday party. Katie sort of deflects, but Gizelle wants to know if Katie was “on” anything at the party – besides Andrew’s jock, that is. She asks Katie directly if she was clean, and Katie says well, “we weren’t acting very clean,” which Gizelle interprets as a NO. Katie looks like she wants to evaporate into thin air. Poof! She escapes to her room instead to stick pins in her Gizelle Bryant voodoo doll.
Since it’s raining the next day, the ladies are cabin-bound. Robyn and Gizelle debrief about the night before in their room while Ashley and Karen do the same next door. Karen is still reeling about Gizelle’s “share” at the sister circle session, which involved poo. So, not the most emotional insight there. Robyn tells Gizelle she’s glad she went deep with the group, though, because she wants to be open. Karen and Ashley both think it was inappropriate for Gizelle to go so hard at Katie about basically being on drugs. (Can’t a girl just be flat out crazy!? Because Katie, um, is.)
In the living room, Charrisse and Brynee are catching up on Katie’s state of mind after the Gizelle interrogation. Katie plays it cool, but her eyes say differently. Enter: Gizelle, who the ladies confront immediately about her attack. Gizelle defends her behavior as motivated by concern, and anyway, wasn’t it Brynee who brought up the drug dirt anyway? Katie brushes Gizelle off with some shade about not asking her about her multiple sex partners, yadda yadda…and Gizelle is like: huh????? With nothing left to say here, Katie skulks out of the room with her cup of coffee to gather her thoughts.
Since her words didn’t work, Katie has taken to her bed. Non-housewife Brynee comes in to sh*t stir some more, encouraging Katie to “read” Gizelle before more resentment grows. Karen comes in to second that emotion, claiming she “would take her head off” if Gizelle came at her with that attitude. If Katie doesn’t stop her now, Gizelle will keep pecking at her until she’s all but a dry heap of thirsty ashes. Katie vows to obey Karen’s wishes speak up.
It’s field trip time! Since “these b*tches love getting their photo taken,” Ashley says an old time photo session is in order. Plus, she snarks, it will remind them of their childhoods. The ladies, minus Katie, all have some innocent fun whilst they point faux pistols at each other and yuk it up for the camera.
After they return to their modern day questionable garb, Katie pulls Gizelle aside to get her best read on. She wants to make it clear that Gizelle has no business calling her out in front of the group about being on drugs. Ask her about drugs in private next time! Even if her behavior was ridiculous (as everyone agrees), Gizelle doesn’t need to interject herself into the situation. Katie accuses Gizelle of attacking her character, therefore her parenting skills. Next time, come to her directly, she instructs. Shocked, Gizelle does a whole lot of okay-ing and uh-huh-ing, then promises to come to her privately in the future, apologizing for her misstep. So, is all well between them? I guess we’ll see.
Whatever beef may linger between Katie and Gizelle is no matter, for tonight they shall dance with drag queens! First, the group dines out at a location, thankfully, accepted by all bougie b*tches present. Ashley is relieved. Before their meals arrive, Karen decides it’s her turn to call Katie out. When is Andrew going to propose? she asks. Katie lies insists that Andrew needs no ultimatum. That ring is practically on her finger, according to Katie’s deeply delusional thinking. Karen volunteers to ring shop with him, which given Andrew’s opinion of Karen, should go over just about as well as Katie renovating his home, MTV Punk’d-style.
Conversation turns to prenups, with Charrisse wondering who would/did sign one…because she did not. Gizelle didn’t, but would in the future. Ashley chirps that she did, and she just luuuuuvs her prenup! She gets a “very handsome” settlement, should the Aussie pot of gold not work out. Katie and Ashley bond over their fiscally conservative white men, but Katie opines that Andrew just doesn’t “get” what’s going on in the black community, which frustrates her. Gizelle wonders why Katie’s suddenly all Black Lives Matter! when she herself wants to check the “other” box, being mixed.
Robyn tries to steer the conversation into (sort of) calmer waters, asking Katie what she’d do differently in Marriage #2 than Marriage #1. (Curiously, there’s a lot of speculation out there about how and why and when Katie left husband #1, especially because the situation was so suspect given the extremely young age of their three children.) Katie says this time she’d do premarital counseling, which she didn’t do with James. She approached her first marriage with immaturity, she confesses. Good on her for getting a bit more real here.
Since everyone is suddenly getting along like grown women, Gizelle ends the dinner on a high note by speechifying about Ashley’s hosting skills. Despite the twin beds and box fans, Gizelle gives Ashley props for opening her home to the ladies and bringing them together as a group. Karen’s tutelage of Miss Ashley has apparently paid off, thus Ashley hugs her mentor in appreciation of helping her infiltrate this hive of killer B’s.
It’s time to head to the club, and Ashley’s riding high on her new-found status of Acceptable Person. Not so fast! Because lurking somewhere in the shadows is hubby Michael to ruin her good time once and for all…
Before Michael can bust up the girls’ night, the drag show’s host reads the entire cast in one fell swoop. After the ladies screech that they’re from Potomac to her on stage, she snarks, “Well, you look like you’re from DC Southeast.” To which Charrisse flashes her ring and does her best stink face. Alas, no stink face shall overcome the shade that has just been hilariously thrown, on behalf of the entire viewing audience, by this Supreme Queen! Bwaahahahaha!
Despite their crushed egos, the ladies rally for some dancing and drinking with the fabulous queens who traipse across the stage one by one. But lo! Who is that bald man slinking through the crowd in the darkness??
It’s Michael, of course, who is welcomed by Ashley with a kiss – and by Karen with an etiquette ticket. She complains to Ashley immediately that she does not want a MAN sleeping in the house! It’s inappropriate! Her weave is in a knot over the whole situation, Gizelle notes, and Ashley may not be the host they expected her to be. Ashley’s reaction: She.Does.Not.Care. Why are they so bothered, she wonders? 1. It’s his house. 2. He’s sleeping in her bed, and they’re not sharing a room with anyone. 3. The ladies are leaving in the morning.
As they hastily board the van outside, Karen and Gizelle try to school Ashley on her misdeed of allowing Michael to crash their party. But Ashley is not hearing it. She is incredulous that they are even taking issue with her husband, who’s just there to surprise her. Karen preaches that her husband Raymond would not be comfortable with her sleeping in a house with another man! Gizelle just wants to walk around freely in her panties because it’s 102 degrees in her room, and now she can’t! Ashley advises them to get over their menopausal meltdown, go to their rooms for the night, and stay there.
As the van door slams shut, Ashley heads back into the club to join Michael for a little late night action. The short bus riders are held hostage to Karen’s ranting on the way home, until she finally turns to her phone for relief. No doubt texting Raymond about the vicious man on the prowl who will undoubtedly be peeking at her goodies through the door crack tonight. I imagine the texts read something like this: MAN SLEEPING HERE! SCARED FOR LIFE! ASHLEY BETRAYED ME! <crickets> R U AWAKE? RAYYYYYYMOOOONNNNDDD!!
Robyn is not happy about the situation but, cool as she is, doesn’t feel the need to take issue with Ashley at Karen Huger Level Ten. Charrisse and Gizelle are pissed. And Katie couldn’t care less. Since the loudest voices win, Karen, Gizelle, and Charrisse win the day. As they convene on the couches awaiting Ashley and Michael’s return, Karen insinuates that they are all victims here. Victims!
Before they can relish their newly minted victim status for very long, Ashley and Michael waltz in to defend themselves. Ashley thinks everyone is blowing the situation out of proportion, but the ladies argue that it’s the principle of the matter. This was a girls’ trip, but now she’s ruined the vibe. For her part, Karen says she’s just taking a “note to motherf*cking self” about how Ashley rolls. And just like that, Charrisse notes how the Etiquette Queen has gone gangsta!
Karen says she won’t be darkening Michael’s beach house doorstep anytime in the future. Gizelle thanks Michael for her “little room,” pondering how he’d better not sneak his pants-protrusion in there tonight unless he wants it cut off. Robyn thinks everyone needs to calm the F down. On that note, the crowd disperses.
The next morning, Karen complains to Raymond about Michael’s presence, which he agrees is inappropriate. (Because inappropriate is their mutual fave word!) The ladies hop in their cars and roll out, thanking Ashley for her hospitality, but taking note of just who they’re dealing with hence forth.
TELL US: WAS IT INAPPROPRIATE OF MICHAEL TO CRASH THE GIRLS’ TRIP? DID GIZELLE COME TOO HARD FOR KATIE?
