Luann de Lesseps Sets The Record Straight About Bethenny Frankels Allegations; Ramona Apologizes To Dorinda Again
Luann de Lesseps is not holding back on her opinion about Bethenny Frankel. As Luann herself explains she and Bethenny have always had “their share of fights” and this season of Real Housewives Of New York will be no exception.
“Bethenny and I … We have our ups and downs,” admits Luann, who says they’re still friendly. “What I like about Bethenny is that, she lays it all out on the table, whether it’s true or not.”
“Whether I agree with her or not, at least it’s out there. It’s not, for the most part, behind your back,” Luann concedes.

Yes, true or not, being the operative words. According to Luann, when their argument over Luann cheating erupted (Luann also calls out Bethenny for dating a married man according to the tabloids, an allegation Bethenny has denied), she was actually already in a relationship with her fiancé Tom D’Agostino.
“I didn’t tell the ladies I was dating Tom, because I didn’t want them to know, exactly. I was keeping it private until I saw where it was going,” Luann explains, “and it went places very, very fast.” Bethenny has stated publicly that she doesn’t agree with Luann and Tom’s relationship, and plans to skip the wedding – if she’s even invited. That’s kind.
Luann is accepting of Bethenny’s forthright approach. “With me, she’s very upfront, and I give it right back to her.”
RELATED: Is Sonja Morgan Invited To Luann de Lesseps’ Wedding?
“I think a lot of women cower around Bethenny because they’re, like, scared of her. I never have been … ” Luann tells ET. “I mean, when Bethenny started the show, she had no money, no husband, no children, and I had it all. She strived to get it all, and she got there. I’m proud of her for that.” Well, that’s a backhanded compliment if I’ve ever heard one. And so quintessentially Luann (which is what I love about Luann!).
Luann also continues to have lingering issues with Bethenny’s butt-buddy Carole Radziwill. “I apologized, she doesn’t want to accept it, and that’s not my problem,” Luann shrugs. “I don’t live in the past. I’m not somebody who dwells on things or carries grudges or hold things against people. Carole obviously likes to live in the past.”
“You’re going to see Carole and I work on our relationship,” Luann says. “It does get better.” Maybe Luann feels that way, but I doubt Carole does.
Moving on, Ramona Singer is still reeling from her fight with Dorinda Medley. Tweeting while the episode aired Ramona, again, sincerely apologized. Well look at that, once Ro-Ro-Pinot got the hang of this whole apology shtick, she realized she kind of liked it. Green Eggs & Ham, anyone?
“I love you @ramonasinger. I love you a lot. We’re friends & we’ll be friends through the good, the bad, and the ugly,” Dorinda tweeted back.
Well it’s nice to see one friendship sincerely repaired. Take note, Carole!

Sheree Whitfield Writing A Novel Based On Real Housewives Of Atlanta
Sheree Whitfield is currently occupying her time writing a dishy fictionalized novel about her experiences on Real Housewives Of Atlanta. Now you know the She By SheBroke shade is going to be epic, and you also know that Sheree needs that check, boo, so I’ll be sure to buy (and review – in fact I feel my heart palpitating at the thought!).
So just how based in reality will Sheree’s novel be? About as realistic as you average Real Housewives show! “Basically what I have done is created a reality show in print,” Sheree describes, and promises, “realistic situations, and at the same time, dripping with drama.”
CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!
“I wanted to take those very things – characteristics/issues/feelings/emotions/trials and tribulations that play out before viewers’ very eyes,” explains Sheree, “and form characters and situations around them.” Naturally there will be “plenty of shade being thrown in the pages of this book.”
So I see a MeMe character, and a Pam Z of Wigs-N-Cigs Manor, and Astraea, an attorney by day, a Machiavellian super villain by night, and a Nairobi Boore twirling near the axis of the sun trying to grab hold of the truth.
Rumor has it that Sheree’s book proposal spawned a bidding war between publishing houses so she walked away with a very lucrative deal. The novel will be set in Atlanta, of course, and will definitely feature some familiar settings and situations.
“You know how Law & Order describes their episodes as ‘ripped from the news headlines‘? Well, let’s just say the story line of my novel was ripped from reality show headlines,” Sheree tells Bravo’s Daily Dish. “And if you’re wondering if I’m referring to RHOA, let’s just say if you pick the right Georgia peach, it can be quite juicy.”
Unlike other Bravolebrities with books, Sheree is not writing a memoir, “Well, heck, you get to see my life play out every week, so there is no need for me to recap that, right? But it’s those things you don’t get to see that I’ve used as a template for this book.” So does that mean we will get behind the scenes dirt on her issues with Bob Whitfield, or the drama with Chateau Sheree?
Sheree’s novel will be released in Fall 2017 – right about the time she moves into Chateau Sheree…

Teresa Giudice Is Writing A Sequel To Her Memoir Turning The Tables; Real Housewives Of New Jersey Returns In July
Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice is not going to let a little thing like her husband, Joe Giudice, being in prison keep her down – she’s got a book to promote, after all, and in case you haven’t heard, there’s a sequel to Turning Tables coming out in June.
“We’re a strong family,” Teresa told Reality TV World at a recent book signing, “and now they have their mommy and we’re going to make it through. I’m with them all the time. I mean, right now, I came to work for a few hours but I’m going right back home.”
Teresa added, repeating herself, “I’m with them all the time. My daughter had a soccer game last night, she had a soccer game this morning, and she has another one tomorrow morning. So, I’m with them all the time. I mean, whenever I have to work, I work but I go right back home and be with my babies. They are my life. I live for them. They need their mommy.”

About her memoir, Turning the Tables: From Housewife to Inmate and Back Again, Teresa shared, “Everybody thinks they know me from watching, but that is just a part of me, and I just wanted everyone to get to know the real Teresa – the Teresa from how I was raised, my background, everything about me. Then you can say you fully know the real Teresa.”
“When you watch the show, it is just a part of me,” she repeated. “[In the book], you can see how I was brought up, my values, my traditions, and then you get to know the real Teresa. Like how I met Joe and had my children. Everything… everyone who has read the book said they loved it.” Values? <side eye>
Teresa confirmed that she’s writing a sequel to Turning the Tables, “Yes, I am going to have a follow-up book to this one. It’s coming out in June. [It will cover] from when I got released from jail to when [Joe Giudice] went in.”
RELATED: Jim Marchese Bashes BRAVO For Keeping FELONS On RHONJ
Everyone and everything in Teresa‘s world is “great.” At the time, Milania and Audriana were in Hershey, PA, with Pete and Shelia, and they’re all great. Gia? Great! Joe Gorga? Great! Can someone please introduce her to a thesaurus?
“Milania always has us laughing,” said Teresa. “And Gia‘s great. She’s 15. Her body is, like, ‘Oh my God!’ I just want to lock her up in the house and not let her out. And my brother is doing good. He’s doing really great.”
Moving on to Real Housewives of New Jersey, Teresa shared that Season 7 will premiere in July, with Teresa, Jacqueline Laurita, Melissa Gorga, and two new housewives. The twins, Nicole and Teresa, the weasel’s wife, Amber, and Dina Manzo are gone.
“Dina found an amazing guy,” gushed Teresa. “Yes. I am so happy for her. She lives in California and I’m sad about that, but I do, you know, she does come back and forth. His name is Dave, and they are so cute and they are so happy. She finally found her true love and I’m so happy for her. Like, finally! Thank you God! She’s really happy and I’m happy for her.”
About her relationship with Melissa, Teresa claimed, “Everything is good. You know what? She’s my sister-in-law. Family is family. Listen, you’re not always going to love what family says or does or whatever, but you always forgive. She is married to my brother. I love them both. And I love my niece and nephews.”

Teresa said she is in the process of becoming a yoga instructor. She added that she “can’t live without” yoga now, then made a point to say, again, that her main focus is her family, “I am definitely going to focus on the kids and spend a lot of time with my girls. I am done filming now, so it is a little bit of a break. But I never stop working.”
Speaking of work, Reality TV World asked Teresa if Real Housewives of New Jersey fans should expect a Teresa spinoff in the future, “Right now, I like being on Housewives. I don’t know about having my own spinoff. We’ll see. It’s, you know, a lot of focus on your family, and I don’t know if my kids are ready for that.”
Right…because Teresa always does what is in the best interest of her children. <eye roll> Spare me – both the spinoff and the priorities nonsense.

Rob Kardashian Buys Blac Chyna A Purple Lamborghini
Personally, I am very happy to see that Rob Kardashian is back in the spotlight, especially since he seems super happy these days. That smile and the weight loss can be credited to his super random relationship with Blac Chyna. Yes, the same Blac Chyna who is the ex fiance and mother of Tyga‘s son. Which just makes this whole sibling love square with Rob and Kylie Jenner a little too weird, but as long as everyone is happy, who am I to judge? But anyway, Rob is over the moon with this new engagement.
Aside from putting a (very nice) ring on Blac Chyna‘s finger, Rob is showering his queen with even more gifts. He got her a dope, purple Lamborghini. They pretty much just got engaged, so it’s pretty soon to get her another gift of this nature, but he is in love and doing the most about it. Personally, I would have waited a bit before pulling out all the stops, just because he is really raising the bar for himself when it comes to gift giving, but I am so far from being a wealthy reality star, so what do I know?
CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!
Well apparently this car cost an estimated $199.8K. And on top of that an E! Online report states that Rob paid about $325K for that engagement ring. Damn. He is really setting himself up to live an expensive life. There is no way that he can just get her a bouquet of roses after this. I have no idea how he is going to live up to these expensive standards of gift giving, but good for them.
RELATED: Rob Compares Kim To “The Bitch” From Gone Girl
The weirdest thing about this whole relationship, aside from the relationship itself, is the fact that Rob‘s famously open family has not made a single comment about the engagement. I am just dying to know what Rob’s sisters and mother think of this whole display.

Charrisse Jordan Doesnt Appreciate Gizelle Bryant Discussing Her Love Life On WWHL
After Gizelle Bryant‘s tea-spilling stint on Watch What Happens Live last week, Charrisse Jackson-Jordan is firing back. Gizelle accused Charrisse of having a “fireman” boyfriend on the side. Charrisse, still technically married to the invisible Eddie Jordan, did not take too kindly to Gizelle spreading her business all over the airwaves even though they’re both on reality TV and have opened their lives up to public scrutiny.
The Real Housewives of Potomac star admits, “I was very disappointed that Gizelle would stoop to the level of being on a national station talking about my life, that she knows nothing about, creating a lie just for attention and airtime. I don’t know why I’m surprised because that’s the type of person we dealt with all season, but this to me was an all-time low for her to even go there.”
CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!
Claiming there’s no truth to Gizelle’s accusations, Charrisse tells the Daily Dish, “I mean, [Gizelle] sits there, and the thing that’s crazy is that she used the term ‘we.’ ‘Oh, we weren’t surprised. We know she has a boyfriend.’ I mean, she made it sound like it’s common knowledge that Charrisse has a boyfriend. It’s a bunch of BS that I don’t know what her problem is, but it’s crazy. No one will co-sign on that story. She used ‘we,’ I guess, to validate what she was saying, but no, there’s no truth to it.”
So, where did Gizelle get her intel then? Word on the street!? Charrisse imagines her nemesis castmate must have picked it up from social media somewhere. Charrisse even claims that fake accounts have been created online in order to smear her character! #WishfulThinking?
Whatever the source of the “boyfriend” gossip is, Charrisse blames “chronic liar” Gizelle for blowing up her game on national television. Charrisse argues, “So that’s where [Gizelle]’s getting it from. But she gets on television and some little crazy person that she doesn’t even know on social media who made these accusations, she’s gonna get on the show and present it like it’s a fact.”
RELATED: Charrisse Jordan Calls Gizelle Bryant a Chronic Liar!
Then what are the facts, according to Charrisse? Well, for starters, Gizelle doesn’t even know Eddie! Add that to the pile of lies Charrisse says Gizelle has constructed this season on RHOP! Charrisse defends, “She’s never met my husband. She doesn’t know my husband.” Interesting…verrrrrrrrry interesting.
Additionally, Charrisse claims that infidelity had nothing to do with her separation from Eddie. She asserts that “people want to assume that because we’re in two different states, it has to do with a woman. That is not the case. That is not the case. Our issues have had nothing to do with another being.”
But Charrisse and Eddie’s issues have obviously affected their children, as have Gizelle’s public comments about their respective “affairs.” Charrisse concludes by sticking to her statements from earlier this season about Gizelle. “She is just disgusting, and yes, she still repulses me.”
Yes, but is she fake as a $10 bill? Oh wait – that was Karen’s line! (Time for a new script?)

Real Housewives Of New York Recap: Man Down!
Last night’s episode of Real Housewives Of New York pulled back the curtain on Dorinda Medley‘s rather worrisome relationship with John, who, according to Ramona Singer, is the tugboat dragged behind Dorinda’s yacht.
After the blow up between Dorinda, Bethenny Frankel, and Ramona at the brassiere (or “brawr” – depending on who you ask) party, everyone has a drink and Dorinda puffs a Newport Light 100 (or maybe it was one of Jules Wainstein‘s Virginia Slims left over from 1977 kept in a fireproof dry box under the bed, the blessed creatures pulled out for emergencies only. She better buy some on eBay to get through Real Housewives Of New York).
CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!
To clear the bad juju from the air, the ladies practice something Housewives do in times of strife: stress-relief shopping. While Dorinda and Bethenny are upstairs in the dressing room, Bethenny admits she’s sorry, but explains she’s worried that John is a crap person using Dorinda and dragging her down. Something Bethenny recognizes from personal experience (aka her marriage to Jason Hoppy). I found this to be both an honest and an insightful statement, and it demonstrates that sometimes Bethenny has the emotional wherewithal to act like a real human. Bethenny must be taking sensitivity training as part of the Skinnygirl HR mandate.
It’s not necessarily Bethenny who Dorinda is concerned about, however. It’s Ramona, her friend of 20 years who chose to embarrass her by publicly sharing the salacious story of John’s inner-(non)workings.
While Dorinda is brawr fitting, Ramona is furiously Googling the definition of “apology,” then asks Bethenny (WHO WAS USING THE ICE JULES WASHED HER CLAWS IN!) to coach her through one of those sorry-thingies. When Dorinda comes down stairs, Ramona whizzes over like Rosie from the Jetsons, robotically barks out “whoops sorry!,” then retreats to a corner to bury her head in shame that she actually used the “A” word and people heard. I imagine this scene happening a lot in Ramona’s marriage.
Carole Radziwill and Jules testily peck at each other over who’s thinner (Jules still gets her period every month! Carole, ummm, eats solids sometimes!). Then Carole and Ramona flee the scene, which was not unlike the lace concealing the bulky underwire of a support bra.
Good timing. Moments later, while Bethenny, Jules, and Dorinda are talking through the night’s events, Dorinda calls John, who immediately demands to know if the women were talking about him, invites himself upstairs, and comes barreling into the party wearing a pink shirt with a scarf slung across his shoulders. Did he think this made him look dapper? Because it only emphasized that he resembles The Hulk.
Immediately after tepid “Hellos,” John gets into it with Bethenny, who requests he take the goofy scarf off if he wants to have any kind of discussion. So what does John want to discuss? Why, how Bethenny stole the word “skinny” from his friend Sam! John has come prepared for battle – he’s “all hopped up” and accuses Bethenny of stealing the name Skinnygirl from Sam, who invented Skinny Cow, which as Bethenny so aptly pointed out are two different brands (one with a girl, one with a cow), one of which was sold to Nestlé and is currently selling deliciously scrumptious ice cream sandwiches in my supermarket.
If there’s one thing to get Bethenny seeing red it’s talking shit about her business – trash her marriage, her friends – anything – but never her Skinnygirl!
Dorinda tries to yank John away, to make him leave. She screams at him for being embarrassing and speaking to Bethenny that way. John then takes it one step lower by saying Bethenny is “jealous” of the love he and Dorinda share, because she can’t make relationships last, which is why she’s alone. A) No one is jealous of the porcine and aggressive John. B) It’s a cheap barb given how well-known Bethenny’s relationship issues are.
Finally, Dorinda manages to shove John out of the hotel room while screaming repeatedly that he’s an embarrassment. He keeps trying to barge his way back in, until Jules is forced to go into the hallway to console him in timeout. Jules is used to dealing with irascible toddlers and handled it well. John finally agrees to go downstairs and “wait for his girl,” as if Dorinda is a dress that’s currently being dry-cleaned. Back in the room, Bethenny points out that all the things she and Ramona said about John, he just proved to be true, but Dorinda is too heart-broken to process this and just wants to go home to sleep in her own bed – alone.
Bethenny assumes, after this volatile incident, Dorinda will break up with John. As always, Bethenny’s relationship crystal ball is malfunctioning. Magic Hate Ball says: “You Will Be Disappointed”
So that was fun!
The next day, Bethenny calls Carole to discuss the Hamptons. Carole is on her way to vet to deal with Baby’s loose stool. Riveting stuff you’re giving us, Carole. The other thing Carole is obsessing over is that Luann de Lesseps will be attending Bethenny’s birthday party. Which means Carole will be forced to give Luann the silent treatment to prove that she’s still not speaking to her because she hasn’t apologized to her. Am I missing something? Carole keeps saying Luann is obsessed with her, and said so many mean things, but I don’t remember them. I do remember all the horrible things Carole has said and written about Luann (for instance, check out last week’s blog!).
Bethenny is like WHO CARES about this; John verbally assaulted me over the ice bucket Jules washed her hands in and now I have PTSD from being exposed to his onion breath. Or, I wish that’s what Bethenny said.
Speaking of Luann, she’s pretending she doesn’t own an apartment and needs to rent, just in case she meets the love her of her life in the next 15 minutes and will need to move. Even though this story line of Lu and Sonja Morgan being roommates is fake nonsense I still love it.
Sonja comes along for the apartment hunt. One place is on the UES, but is one of those awful railroad-style apartments and has parquet floors. We’re supposed to expect that Lu would live there? The real estate agent is Luann’s first roommate from NYC, after she moved there to be a model fresh from the farms of CT. Luann tells a story of bringing random Italian guys back to her apartment and getting screamed at by her roomie. Some things never ever change!
Then Lu heads downtown to view a much nicer place. Sonja is aghast that Luann would consider defecting from the Upper East Side.
While Bethenny is at the Skinnygirl offices, Ramona drops by to break down what happened with Dorinda and John. Ramona is shocked to hear about John verbally assaulting Bethenny. Even more distressing are the texts Dorinda sent Ramona about how Ramona broke Dorinda’s heart and betrayed her confidences.
In that moment, Ramona recognizes that she must truly apologize to fix her friendship. More than that I think Ramona did feel bad and realized her handling of the situation was inappropriate. I appreciated that. For once we got to see Ramona have some perspective: her friendship with Dorinda is real, and Dorinda called Ramona out on causing real hurt like a real friend would. Ramona learned friendship is worth far more than a story line, or proving a point about how John is gross. A point John has duly proven himself!
I also think both Bethenny and Ramona DO care about Dorinda, and truly believe John is causing harm in her life. And he is. Her daughter doesn’t like or trust him, her friends don’t like or trust him, and he obviously parties too much. Dorinda never seems able to let down her guard around him, either, and she’s constantly defensive over his behavior. Bethenny, who knows crazy from being raised by wolves, believes Dorinda is addicted to the drama and nonstop party John brings. Ramona says John was there after Richard died, when Dorinda was reeling from loneliness. It also sounds like John took advantage of this and Dorinda is confusing love with co-dependence.
Perhaps Dorinda is using her dysfunctional relationship with John to avoid dealing with painful reality?
Ramona and Bethenny decide to call Jules for her perspective. Bethenny asks Jules to rate the craziness on a scale of 1-1o, but Jules obviously forgot how to count (unless it’s calories!), so she’s stumped for a moment, while rushing to grab her kids Count With Elmo book. “An 8!” she announces triumphantly, while Bethenny disentangles herself from the sofa because she’s afraid the stupid must be catching. After they hang up, Bethenny deems Jules “special needs.” Oh Bethenny…
I don’t think Jules is stupid, but I do think she wasn’t sure how to handle the situation wanting to be loyal to Dorinda. Ramona explains that Jules is super laid back. Or maybe she’s a person who thinks before she speaks? Ahem.
Since everyone is heading to the Hamptons for Bethenny’s birthday – yes, even Luann – Ramona and Bethenny decide to invite Dorinda to dinner that first night to work things out. Dorinda was supposed to stay at Ramona’s, but she decided to stay at Jules‘ instead, where John would feel more comfortable. YES! She’s bringing him!!!!
Jules and Michael strap their kids into what looks like some sort of industrial-sized minivan with a divider wall, but no Sour Patch Kids dispenser. As the kids melt down, Jules rocks herself in the front seat, silently repeating “Sour Patch Kids” as her mantra. If she says it three times while also whipping her hair back and forth, they’ll appear! Jules has invited all the ladies for brunch – except her house is currently under construction. Michael would have preferred to feature it fully-done, but Jules emphasized that it’s super casual. One thing about Jules and Michael, they do seem super relaxed.
Dorinda and John’s ride to the Hamptons is filled with animosity towards Ramona. John is venomous and Dorinda does little to shut him down. He calls Ramona out for being a 60-year-old divorcee with a boob job. John is gross.
Upon arriving in the Hamptons, Jules does a rushed Shabbat featuring Hawaiian Punch and breadsticks, overlooking the unfinished construction zone of what will someday be an indoor pool. John arrives swinging a bottle of Rosé the size of Jules. Dorinda is headed to her dinner with Ramona and Behtenny, where she plans to issue a decree that they must accept John, or else! Michael compares it to Caesar’s “Et tu, Brute?” and Jules asks, “The salad or the movie? That dressing is fattening and gross, but the movie looked boring, so I never watched it.” E stupido Jules.
Bethenny and Ramona prepare for Dorinda’s arrival by comparing martini olives to penises. Ramona had a bad experience with shrinky d-cks once and believes it was God giving her a sign.
Dorinda arrives wearing Chanel and raw emotions about how hurt and “disgusted” she is by Ramona. She breaks down over how frustrating it is to love a man no one can accept, so Dorinda has decided to keep John separated from her friends. In this moment, I think Bethenny and Ramona both had an Oprah “A-ha!” that this situation is far bigger than anything they did or said.
Bethenny reminds Dorinda to take care of herself, and I believe she means that. Bethenny is shocked Dorinda is staying with John after the altercation, but Dorinda admits she “yearns” for him. Bethenny was almost speechless about the way Dorinda internalized the whole incident. Bethenny was also expecting an apology for the way John behaved, which Dorinda doesn’t think she deserves, however that was just Dorinda playing hardball, because then she does apologize.
Shockingly, so did Ramona! Sincerely! She hugged Dorinda, and from the bottom of her heart, expressed regret for sharing the John story in front of everyone instead of speaking with Dorinda privately. Dorinda accepts that Ramona didn’t come from a bad place, “she just f–ked up.” They all agree to move forward.
I do love that Real Housewives Of New York is ultimately still a show about real friends in real situations. Let’s have more of this on other cities Bravo! One more thing: did John still let Bethenny use her dry cleaning gift certificate?
TELL US – IS DORINDA’S RELATIONSHIP UNHEALTHY? SHOULD BETHENNY AND RAMONA BUTT-OUT OR ARE THEY JUST CONCERNED FRIENDS? IS CAROLE OVER-REACTING ABOUT LUANN?

Game of Thrones Star Lena Headey Had One Heck of an Awkward Fan Encounter...It Involved Her Nipples
When you're a nurse tending to Game of Thrones star Lena Headey and her baby and you also happen to be a huge Game of Thrones fan, the obvious thing to do is to make things incredibly weird,...from E!

Little Women: LA Recap: Baby Showers And Blindsides
Dun dun DA dun DA dun dun! Cue the Imperial March theme because, folks, Matt Ericson is about to stroll right into to his own exploding Death Star! While the inevitable destruction of the dark side may initially come from the merry band of incessant nags surrounding Briana Renee (aka, her “friends”), a new hope springs from within! Because this time, Briana is listening to them. And miracle of miracles – even Jasmine Sorge is on board with the Resistance!
After celebrating her Ride or Die wedding with Clyde, the honeymoon was over when Briana got wind of, what else? More d**k pics! Because, of course, Matt has sent them hither and yon, all across the galaxy. Ah, blessed internet. How we love thee! (Oh yeah – Christy McGinity and Terra Jole continue their bickering over who concussed who, and Elena Gant reveals the gender of her twins. But that’s really just window dressing for the real story at hand here – MORE D*CK PICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) Thus, we come to the bitter end of a contentious season of Little Women: LA. While babies abound – Terra, Briana, and Elena are all pregnant – Briana must decide whether to stand by her baby daddy, delete all of his social media accounts and pretend like nothing happened, or move on.
CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!
At their honeymoon suite, the despicable and hideous Matt throws rose petals in the air and pats himself on the back for “doing something right.” Briana reflects on her perfect ratchet wedding, complete with ambush guest attendance by Christy. Terra and Tonya Banks were not invited, nor did they pop by unannounced. Because they do not “unconditionally support” this union, as Briana required of ALL her guests. Hence, why there were so many empty seats.
At Christy’s house, she is showing her totally conditional love for Todd, who she’s been hounding all season to lose weight so “HE DOESN’T DIE!!!!!” It hasn’t been dramatic or obnoxious at all. <eye roll> Todd unwraps his surprise passive-aggressive gift of cupcakes, only to find a plastic baby inside of one (which Christy literally deep throats before handing over the licked-off baby to him – blech!). Christy delivers the good news: the international adoption agency has matched them with a child! They have to move fast though because the match isn’t certain. The baby is from Bulgaria, and the agency has determined Christy and Todd as the “best” match, but they aren’t the only match out there. Todd seems sliiiiiiightly underwhelmed, no? Hmmm.
Meanwhile, Elena, Terra, and Tonya are out shopping for baby strollers. Terra and Tonya have a surprise of their own. They want to throw Elena a baby shower! Only one prob: Elena wants Christy to come. Elena fills the ladies in on where else Christy showed up recently – at the Ride or Die wedding! Elena also reveals what Christy was saying at said wedding about how she was “scared” and thought she “was going to DIE!!!!” (See a theme emerging here?) Terra is like, erm, no.
Christy is persona no grata anywhere, anytime as far as Terra is concerned. She got hit with a glass – in the cowboy hat perched atop her head, no less – only after she threw 2 at Terra. And now she’s engaged in a media smear campaign that’s threatening Terra and her family’s reputations. Is Terra in the wrong? Oh, yeah. Is Christy equally in the wrong? In my opinion, yes. But running to the press blaming only one person puts Christy on the wrong side of wrong (if that’s even a thing!?).
In an effort to crawl further up Briana’s hiney-hole, Christy meets her out for some fro-yo to gush about the beauty and “elegance” of her wedding. Bwaaahahaha! Oh, my. Let me collect myself after that gem. The ladies move on to the discussion of Elena’s baby shower, which Christy is nervous about attending since she filed a police report against Terra. Christy maintains that the hit to her head may have caused long term issues. That hat was made of straw, ya’ll! She wants a true apology from Terra if they’re ever to be in the same room again. Oh, delusional Christy. Not. Gonna. Happen.
Elena and Saint Preston are at the OB’s office to check up on the babies and determine their gender. Before the ultrasound, Elena hears some hard truths about delivery: she’ll likely need a C-section. Elena says that little people in Russia don’t need C-sections! Which, uh, is probably not the most well researched argument out there. #TheMoreYouKnow Terra is along for the appointment, and sees the gender reveal on screen along with the parents to be. But we’ll have to wait until the baby shower to hear for ourselves!
It’s baby shower day already, and Terra and Joe are setting up at the super cute venue, along with Tonya and Jasmine. Elena and Preston arrive, followed by Briana and Matt. Terra vows to be cool with Briana because she’s pregnant (and we know Terra is too, now), but Briana comes bearing bad news. She reveals that Christy wants a public apology from Terra if she wants to move forward. Briana also apparently got a call from a detective about the bar fight incident, which further incites Terra. She can’t even talk to Christy about the situation now that it’s become this public legal mess. So, Christy can just go ahead and hold her breath on that “public apology” she wants.
On cue yet again, Christy peeps her head around the corner. Though she didn’t RSVP, here she is anyway, schlepping the world-weary, browbeaten Todd behind her. The awkwardness hangs in the air like a stale fart while Terra contemplates leaving for a hot second. But she rallies to get this event started with Tonya instead. The group is gathered with silly string, blue for boy and pink for girl, which they unleash on Preston and Elena for the big reveal.
It’s a boy! Well, two boys!!!! As they’re covered in blue silly string, Elena and Preston celebrate their news. The gang all celebrates with them, and the mood is decidedly happy and positive. Maybe that’s why Terra is bizarrely confiding in Briana about “feeling for Matt” for the first time ever, now that she’s being accused of something publicly that’s damaging her rep.
In another group nearby, Jasmine confronts Christy (Tonya guard-dogging it by her side) about the elephant in the room: Christy’s lawsuit. Tonya wants to know why Christy filed a police report. Christy claims she was hurt badly, hat or no hat. But Tonya argues that if Terra had filed a report on Christy, she would have LOST her mind. #TrueDat Tonya also claims that Terra was prepared to apologize, knowing she had a part to play in the mess, until the legal mess started.
In a misguided attempt at olive branching it, Christy approaches Terra, who immediately rebuffs her advances. “Her little troll brain thinks she can file a police report against me, then come over and shoot the sh*t with me!?” snipes Terra. Matt (of ALL people!) comes to Terra’s defense, wallowing in his own despair over anyone looking up his arrest record – which includes domestic violence incidents. Though the charges may not stick, in both Matt and Terra’s cases, the record is forever public knowledge. (Like d*ck pics sent to strangers?) I am reeling right now at the gruesome spectre of Terra and Matt bonding over their mutual records. This is the most bizarro and insanely ironic pairing of sidekicks ever to grace LWLA! Bonnie and Clyde 2.0! Terratt!
Still desperately trying to gather allies, Christy takes Elena off to the side to explain herself. Terra is being charged with “aggravated assault” because she threw a glass, while Christy threw plastic. Oh lord! Alright. Elena, 5 months pregnant, just sighs the sigh of a woman listening to Christy’s self indulgent pity for the 40,000th time. Meanwhile, Terra shouts from the other side of the grotto, “I’m out!” and takes her leave.
Okay, now let’s move on to the dirtiest dirt of all the dirtbags to ever disgrace our television screens. 4 months along in her pregnancy, Briana (like Elena) is faced with the risks of an amnio test, which she also refuses. Also like Elena, Briana discovers she’s having a boy. Yay! Briana is thrilled. Unlike Elena, Briana must have this child with a sketchy penis-exhibitionist who comes to an ultrasound appointment wearing his best #ThingsAreWeird t-shirt (isn’t this the second time we’ve seen this? What, was #MattsBlueShirt in the wash?).
Bonnie and Clyde’s joy is short lived, however, as we see an ominous “THREE WEEKS LATER” frame lead us into the next scene. Terra, Jasmine, and Tonya are gathered together discussing Matt’s latest antics, which apparently include messages from women (yes, multiple – at least 4 so far) sending screenshots of Little Matt to them. These messages date back 3-4 months, with Terra claiming that most of the deeds were done during Briana’s bachelorette party in Mexico. You know, the one where Briana was defending Matt pretty much constantly against his army of “haters?” Also, the one where Jasmine was defending Matt and Briana’s holy union as worthy of unconditional support?
Jasmine has changed her tune now. “I want to rip his f–king face off!” she snaps, feeling like a fool for defending Scumbags-R-Us for so long. Terra and Tonya are not shocked, but Terra is heated. Apparently Matt called Joe recently to confess that he would never “kill her or hurt her,” (WHAT!?!?!?) claiming he just “sexts with other women.” HUH? Why is JOE being brought into this mess? As for Little Boss, she’s ready to hurt Matt. (And I’m kinda ready to see her do it!) Jasmine just wants to save the children, who she can’t believe are ultimately caught in this middle of this dastardly Ride or Die situation.
So, what are friends-turned-enemies supposed to do? Jasmine wants them all to circle the wagons. Tonya and Terra agree to get the whole group together with Briana – even Christy, especially since she’s been getting closer to Briana again – to have yet another intervention.
Later on, Terra discusses the Briana situation with Joe, who thinks it’s a waste of time. Alas, more dirt has been dug up on this prick! Matt has a Tinder account, which Terra thinks is proof that he’s likely cheating on Briana in real life – as opposed to simply (and grossly) texting his junk everywhere. Also, an online article broke news of Matt settling out of court and taking anger management classes over choking a woman.
Joe (rightly) still thinks Terra is on a fool’s errand trying to convince Briana of Matt’s disreputable behavior. Terra doesn’t care; it’s a scary situation, and she must act! She even wants to invite Briana and her children to stay at their house if need be. Joe may be an angry dude, but at least has healthy boundaries here. He tells Terra flat out: Briana will NOT be staying with them, thus bringing the “scary situation” (ahem, Matt) anywhere near their family – especially their little girl. “Let her get strangled! I don’t want to get strangled,” snarks Joe. Harsh words. But I have to admit – good call, Joe. #CodependentHandbook101
The day of reckoning is upon us! The ladies gather at Jasmine’s house to discuss the situation. Christy and Terra lay down their swords with each other for now. Briana arrives, already knowing about the sexting scandal, which she found out on Valentine’s Day when a girl forwarded photos to her. Briana confesses she’s still sleeping in the same bed as Matt and even had sex with him “one time” since finding out, but excuses it as “a hormone thing, not a love thing!” Seriously. If that’s the level this chick is operating on, I suggest the ladies pack up their tea and hit the road. Briana will NEVER leave this dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tonya tries a gentle approach, offering that if Briana stays with Matt, she may never trust him again. So, what kind of marriage does that create? Terra adds that Matt not only sexts with women; he also talks poorly about Briana to them. And he’s still talking with some of these women! This isn’t past behavior; it’s CURRENT. Briana says she’s “torn,” excusing Matt’s behavior yet again as “people just making mistakes.” GROAN. Her mind can’t grasp what is happening, and she can’t even call her family who she allowed herself to be expertly isolated from.
Elena goes in hard: if Matt is still doing the same dirt now that he did back in the day, it’s NOT a f-king mistake, Briana! It’s called HIS CHARACTER. Briana can’t or won’t leave him, though. Tonya wonders if it’s because she’s scared of him. She asks Briana if, when she married Matt, she believed he loved her? If so, they got married under false pretenses because Matt’s actions are anything but “loving.” Instead, they show that he’s a sociopath without a conscience who will do whatever to whomever, whenever he so chooses. Briana is the only one not asserting her choices here. It’s as if she thinks she doesn’t have any. And I just have to wonder, what is her family thinking now?
“I don’t know,” cries Briana. “I just don’t know.”
Well, those words seem to open up a sliver – and I mean SLIVER – of hope in the Bonnie and Clyde saga. At least Briana is admitting confusion rather than maintaining adamant, unwavering loyalty when it comes to the man she’s sadly hitched her wagon to. Like Jasmine, I just hope the kids are alright. I guess we’ll see how this plays out at next week’s reunion, though, where it looks like Briana is on the attack once again. Will you be tuning in?
TELL US: WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE SEXTING SCANDAL, PART TWO? WILL BRIANA EVER LEAVE MATT? IS CHRISTY’S LAWSUIT AGAINST TERRA JUSTIFIED?
