Jules Wainstein Wonders How Real Housewives Of New York Went From Bra To Brawl?
Jules Wainstein wants to know (as do we all): How did a Real Housewives Of New York party go “from BRA to Brawl?” And another thing we can all agree on, “John…. John… John… A bra party is not the place for you!”
Except before John even arrived, the ladies were having trouble keeping their opinions to themselves.
Poor Jules got quite an initiation attending her first RHONY party. She believed Dorinda Medley invited her to shop for lingerie, but quickly learned that was merely a scantily clad covering for drama! “One minute you’re the hostess… next, you’re NOT the mostest,” muses Jules.
CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!
In fact, before Jules even tried on a bra, Dorinda argued with Bethenny Frankel and Ramona Singer. After that debacle at least Jules got to the shopping portion of the evening – but even that was not without its insults.
“I just met Carole [Radziwill], she’s fabulous…style on point, but she’s already talking about my weight,” complains Jules. “Who does that when you first meet someone? The comment about my body does not bother me, though. This type of conversation is not new to me… I know it’s not coming from a bad place, because it comes from a place of concern. Don’t be worried about me, I am worried about YOU worrying about me because I have experience in this area.”
Jule’s complaint doesn’t carry much weight with me after her repeated comments referring to the other Real Housewives Of New York as “elderly”. Jules insists the comment was a “joke.”
“I was saying how I expected everyone to act differently that night. I didn’t mean to offend anyone at all, and I’m so sorry if I did. It was said during my confessional being silly. I am 10 years younger than the youngest housewife, so I had a little humor–no biggie. I believe all the girls know I would never hurt a fly, and if I did, it was unintentional.”
Of course, Jules was far from the most offensive that night! Because in walked John with a bone to pick with Bethenny!
Jules compares John “crashing a chick party” to “walking into the lion’s den,” and notes it was “not the best idea.”
“I was shocked that they behaved with each other in this manner leaving me to play referee,” she mentions. “I knew what I needed to do to diffuse the situation and that was to get John out of there. It was the elevator ride to freedom.”
Jules isn’t defending John’s actions that night, but she does defend Dorinda and John’s relationship. “I’ve hung out with, spent the night with, conversed with Dorinda alone and with John. They don’t need me to stick up for them, although they are my friends, and if they ever needed me, I would be there for them. I have an understanding of them and most people do not.”
RELATED – IS JOHN SECRETLY FAMOUS?!
“Just because Dorinda and John introduced me to the group does not mean I will not call it how I see it,” she adds. “However, I make sure I do it at the right place, at the right time.”
The right time, apparently being in the Hamptons, where Jules and Michael were happy to have Dorinda and John as guests.
“I’m also glad that Dorinda had din with the girls. Sisters before misters. It’s great when you can argue and fight but then sit down at a nice dinner and speak your mind eloquently and with reason and concern,” Jules writes in her Bravo blog. “It was wonderful to see these ladies talk it out. And that’s what I call acting our age.”
Speaking of calls, as in phone calls from Bethenny and Ramona, Jules was not pleased to hear Bethenny refer to her as “special needs,” and explains why she was so distracted during the call.
“They called in the middle of dinner time, and I was cooking for my kids!” Jules says. “Remember, I’m the only REAL housewife on the show! Bethenny can only see through her Bethenny-colored glasses. It’s her way or the highway. No room to step into someone else’s Manolos and walk a mile in them.”
“At this point in the show I respect everyone very much and I’m hurt watching what’s going on behind my back. Calling me someone with ‘special needs’ is cruel. I just don’t want to get involved in that drama, and it makes me uncomfortable,” Jules continues. “I remembered feeling upset that night being put on the spot to talk smack about my friend Dorinda. Ramona is right, I do not like to get into other people’s drama, and I am very laid back when it concerns other people’s business.”
In general, Jules is not about Bethenny’s judgmental attitude. “Don’t throw stones at glass houses,” she lectures. “I would never criticize anyone’s parenting, business, health or her life… ” Does Jules mean, “Those in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones”? Oh boy… Jules is gonna give Ramona and her malapropisms a run for her money, isn’t she?

Vanderpump Rules Cast Defends Scheana Marie Against Pothead Allegations; Scheana & Kristen Share Pics From Kauai
It must suck to find out you’re being sued while on vacation, but I can’t think of a nicer person for it to happen to than Scheana Marie. Earlier this week, one of Scheana’s neighbors filed a lawsuit against the Vanderpump Rules star for marijuana fumes, excessive noise, and an ant problem due to an outside cat.
Scheana‘s co-stars were quick to defend her. As we previously reported, Tom Schwartz and Katie Maloney tweeted that the lawsuit is “laughable” because Scheana is “an angel of a neighbor.” Kristen Doute, who was in Kauai as well, Peter Madrigal, and Stassi Schroeder have rushed to Scheana‘s defense.
CLICK CONTINUE READING FOR MORE!
“These allegations about Scheana are total BS,” said Kristen. “Her enchilada making for 3 girls must really be disruptive. Walking on eggshells for YEARS.”
Stassi managed to make it all about Stassi. “The accusations against Scheana are sick. She stays home, cooks, & watches The Voice. If u want a pothead, I’m right here. #stonerstassi”
“The accusations against Scheana are ludicrous!” insisted Peter. “Enchilada night is ruined bc people sit around all day twiddling their thumbs. #getajob”
Scheana‘s rep released this statement: “The [Shays] have never received a complaint from a fellow neighbor or building management relating to marijuana smoke stemming from their residence. However, there was a recent issue with a neighboring apartment – which was vacated in December 2015 – that had received many complaints. While the [Shays] do have a black cat, their pet has never been allowed outside access. The cat in question belongs to another resident in the building. It should also be noted that all neighbors sharing a wall with the complainant neighbor have been named in the lawsuit against the landlord, security patrol, property management, etc., seeking a greatly reduced rent.”
Did you notice who did not speak out on Scheana‘s behalf? 
Anyway, like I said, Scheana was on vacation in Kauai when this lawsuit hit the news. Check out Scheana and Kristen‘s pictures below.

Kyle Richards Denies Lisa Vanderpump Said There Goes The Storyline
This season of Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills has devolved into a game of “Which Lisa Is Lying: Lisa Rinna or Lisa Vanderpump“?
On part one of the reunion Lipsa, intent to prove she didn’t act alone in outing Yolanda’s alleged Munchausen, claimed that while filming her birthday dinner, Harry Hamlin tried to persuade the ladies against questioning Yolanda Foster‘s illness, and Lisa Vanderpump remarked, “There goes the storyline!” Kyle Richards, who was present for the entire dinner, claims she never heard Lisa say that.
CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!
After the reunion, Kyle, again, defended her on-screen bestie. “Never heard that and I was there the ENTIRE time,” she tweeted.
When asked why she didn’t defend LVP during the reunion, Kyle claims she did, but it was edited out. “Why didn’t you say that at the reunion when Rinna was going after LVP??” a Twitter user asked.
Kyle answered, “I did. Not everything we say gets used.”
LVP herself even remarked that she “can’t believe [Bravo] aired that” with the “#toofunny” – I agree. I’m surprised they aired a clip of Lipsa ‘breaking the fourth wall,’ as they say, by revealing that story lines are created.
Also, in a roundabout way, defending LVP is Harry, who claimed Lipsa changed what he actually said.
Like sand through the hourglass, these are the days of our RHOBH – and they are becoming more and more confusing by the second!

Amber Marchese Speaks Out About Jim Marcheses Domestic Violence Arrest
Former Real Housewives of New Jersey star Amber Marchese is speaking out for the first time since her husband James Marchese was arrested for alleged domestic violence at LAX.
Amber shared a statement via her rep, denying what is being said about Jim’s arrest. She swears he didn’t lay a hand on her and they had no idea why they were being ejected from the flight.
Amber starts out, “Domestic violence is not a joke, and having my husband be accused of such a heinous act is not only hurtful but damaging personally, emotionally and professionally.”
Marchese swears they were playing around and packing on PDA, “I would never let myself be a victim of anything or anyone. Jim and I were on our way back from LA on a “red eye” after filming a new TV project. We were actually talking about hooking up and joining the “mile high” club. Some heavy PDA was involved, just the opposite of what certain people reported they saw.”
She says Jim was sleeping and she was enjoying some wine when they were booted from the flight, “After that brief bit of fun between us we prepared for takeoff and I ordered a glass of white wine. I was peacefully sipping my wine and Jim was sleeping when we were asked to leave the plane. Confused and scared our first thoughts were “did something happen to our kids???” No explanations or answers were given to our questions and we were immediately separated.”
RELATED: JIM MARCHESE PLANNING A TELL-ALL?
Amber continues, “All I wanted was my husband Jim so we could figure out what happened and how to help the authorities by answering any questions. All Jim wanted was to make sure I was OK. We asked why we’re being removed from the plane. We complied with everyone involved from the flight attendant to the authorities. Through this entire stressful situation my husband was nothing but a gentleman and never once lost his composure.”
RELATED: AMBER SHARES BREAST CANCER UPDATE
She is adamant that there was no domestic violence incident, “To be crystal clear there was no complaint of domestic violence, signs of distress or request for assistance made by myself and there was no wrong doing by my husband. At no time did my husband ever choke me or threaten me in any way shape or form. Jim and I have been married for 10 years and he has always treated me like gold and we have a beautiful relationship and a wonderful life. Every relationship has flaws and we are not perfect BUT these reports are undeniably false and disgusting.”
I thought by now someone would cough up a video of the alleged incident, but so far no go!

Are Kylie Jenner & Blac Chyna Done Feuding? Check Out The Photos
I hate making this joke so soon, but it really is difficult to “keep up with the” Kardashians and Jenners these days. There are so many of them and so many twists and turns with the drama. Things got even krazier when Rob Kardashian got engaged to Blac Chyna, a Kylie Jenner hater and the mother of Tyga‘s child. No one really knows what to make out of that relationship, but it really does seem like Rob is the happiest he has been in a while.
Aside from the engagement itself, the strangest part about this whole thing is that Rob Kardashian‘s sisters and mothers have not made a comment, posted an inspirational quote, or typed out a subtweet about the upcoming nuptials. But it looks like Hell froze over yesterday when Blac Chyna and Kylie posted mirror selfies TOGETHER on their Snap Chat accounts. They took a cue from the Kim Kardashian and Amber Rose feud and snapped a pic together to take control of the gossip (and garner even more media attention).

Big Brother Cast Members Tease All-Stars / Veterans Rumors?
While we are waiting impatiently for the first Big Brother 18 spoilers to start rolling out, it seems like some former Big Brother cast members may be spilling the beans about a potential All-Stars season in the works. Can they actually be trusted, however, or are they just spreading misleading gossip like other Big Brother alumni have done in the past?
Well, we know one infamous Big Brother character who is definitely just trying to mess with people about the whole All-Stars thing, and that’s Evel Dick Donato. He put out a tweet earlier this month claiming that he had been invited to participate in All-Stars for the next season, but it turned out he was just playing with people in an April Fool’s joke.
What about Big Brother winner Andy Herren talking about season 18 not being an All-Stars season, but rather another mix of veterans and newbies like season 13?
Apparently BB18 is half newbies and half returnees! Yay! This always works out so well. Oh wait…..just look at BB13. WOOF.
— Andy Herren (@AndyHerren) April 7, 2016
Some fans responded to this tweet saying they think Andy spilled real Big Brother spoilers in this tweet because he’s bitter he wasn’t among those invited back. However, we have very strong doubts about Andy’s tweet actually revealing any true information. This is not the first time he’s made such comments and they turned out to be entirely untrue.
On the other hand, Austin Matelson from BB17 is also apparently spreading the same rumor of another mixed veteran/newbie season. So if this did end up being true, it would mean no All-Stars season for 2016 and doubtfully for 2017 either.
We think at this point it is far more likely that a true All-Stars season might happen for Big Brother 20, if the show lasts that long. Especially since if CBS does think of cancelling the series anytime soon, an All-Stars 20th anniversary season would be a hell of a way to go out.

11 Amazing Times Kyle Richards Dropped An F-Bomb
I can’t help feeling intimidated when people who normally don’t curse start throwing around swear words. It just adds more of a severity to their words than it would if someone who is constantly cursing says something inappropriate. Case in point, Kyle Richards on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Most of the time she’s calm, cool, and collected, but she has some of the best moments when it comes to her use of the “f” word.
I feel like Kyle‘s good girl persona really makes me feel the impact of the word “f–k” when I’m watching the show from my couch at home. It is just so off base for her so she really makes a splash. With that said, Kyle has really had some iconic lines that all revolve around the infamous “f” word. She is definitely not the Real Housewife who curses the most, but her words deliver the most punch and there have been plenty of times when she used the “f” word to make great TV moments.
CLICK CONTINUE READING FOR MORE!
I love Kyle. She is really all of the goals for me, but I just can’t help cracking up when someone who is usually so chill gets riled up. Whenever she drops the “f” bomb, she delivers some of the best lines.
Kyle only curses when she means it. She is not coughing out “f–k” in every day conversation, so when Kyle goes there, you better watch out because you know she really means it. Aside from the cathartic release of emotion, the best thing to come out of Kyle‘s expression of anger are these legendary reality TV moments that will be forever quoted.

Fredrik Eklund Explains Decision To Share Painful Loss Of Twins On Million Dollar Listing New Yorks New Season
If you haven’t watched last night’s premiere of Million Dollar Listing New York yet, make sure you grab some tissues for the opening scenes. Fredrik Eklund and Derek Kaplan shared back in September that the surrogate carrying their twins had suffered a miscarriage and Fredrik made the courageous decision to talk about their loss on this season of the show.
He blogged about making this painful decision, “I’m known for my happy spirit and tough business manners. You know me as ‘the closer and the listing machine.’ I do deals, I negotiate, and I move mountains for my clients. My entire life, when I look back at it, has gone pretty much according to plan. Not all the time, perhaps, but for the most-part, yes. Of course, I’ve had my fair share of failures in business, I was single for years before meeting Derek, and I’ve felt a lot of guilt over the years for leaving my family behind in Sweden. I’m not perfect in any way, but I’ve never been really sad or down for long periods of time. Whenever there is a challenge, I go head-to-head with it until it is solved. When there is personal drama, I fix it or move past it. I like to take the higher road and lift myself up whenever possible. I’ve even written a book on the topic of finding yourself and sharing that self in an honest way with the world.”
Kids were always a hope for Fredrik, “So let me be honest here: Getting pregnant via a surrogate was part of the plan. I’ve always wanted children — always — as far as I can remember. Even as a child myself, I wanted a family of my own one day. Kids are everything to me; the little innocent angels light me up, perhaps because I’m such an overgrown kid myself. When filming MDLNY the previous four seasons, I didn’t keep our struggle to become parents a secret. I’ve always believed — actually known in my heart — that we were going to be fathers.”
He shares their journey to fatherhood and feeling like it was too good to be true, “Last summer, we had several positive pregnancy tests with our twins. We named them. We even bought them clothes and things…well, I did most of it. I was flying so high: I can honestly say those were the happiest weeks of my life. It gave the world such light — such a dimensionality — that everything felt purposeful and right. I felt right. This was my meaning, my time, my place. Our time! A little boy and a girl, him from Derek and her from me. How could something so precious and perfect actually finally be happening? It was too good to be true.”
RELATED: DEREK AND FREDRIK ENJOY A VISIT FROM KAI
Fredrik knew how common miscarriages can be, but it didn’t make the loss any easier to accept when it happened, “I guess the miscarriage in itself shouldn’t have been that surprising after all. I had heard how common it is, how people try again and again, and how difficult it can be. But, what really surprised me was how it hit me emotionally. It hit me so hard I couldn’t function. First, you get the phone call. Then, you freeze. You hear your heart beating in your ears. You lose balance. You sit down on a bed. Everything gets black. You call Derek. Then you cry together. You lose words, because words are empty and won’t do anything anyway. You want to scream. You get so angry. You think of them. You say their names. You think of where they went. You think of the life together that is lost. You open your eyes and they are not there.”
Fredrik reveals, “6’5″ tall men are not supposed to act like this. We are not supposed to cry and cry and cry. Cry at work, cry in the gym, cry on the streets — whenever, really. It could come completely unexpected and could happen at any time; the crying would wash over me. Derek took it so much better than I and explained that this was just part of the process; it really is part of becoming a parent, to be able to let go of the control, etc.”
RELATED: MLDNY FILMS IN GREECE
He wasn’t able to do that just yet, “But I took it personally. I felt robbed of something so holy to me: our children. The miscarriage came like a sudden slap — perhaps it was because we had been challenged for so many years by not being able to make our own children biologically, or perhaps it was seeing my brother have three beautiful kids. I can’t explain it, but it shut me down completely.” Adding, “The lust for life — that insatiable hunger for more and better and BIGGER — was suddenly gone.”
He says right as he was dealing with their loss, it was time to start filming season 5. And then came the stories that he was ‘holding out’ because he was acting like a diva, which hurt him. “At that very same time, production started for season 5. First, I said I wasn’t even going to film. I couldn’t — I mean, who would want to watch this emotional wreck? Who would want to see someone cry like this? I knew if I sat down in that interview chair, I wouldn’t be able to keep it together. I even told Bravo and the producers to find someone to take my spot on the show. I had to be replaced. Then there was a nasty article in the gossip press that I had been fired for diva demands, which hurt me because I just couldn’t film at the time and couldn’t have been further from the truth. Everyone working on the show was supportive and gave me time, and after more crying and thinking, a little Fredrik-voice inside whispered: “Talk about it. Let it out. Don’t be afraid. People do care. Don’t hold back. It is common, yet not a lot of people talk about it. Perhaps you can help someone out there that have experienced something similar…”
RELATED: WILL FREDRIK GET A SPINOFF?
He shares, “I did decide in the end to start and finish season 5, but only on one condition, which was a promise to myself: To be completely honest, wherever that would take me.”
“I struggle with it a lot this season, and I’m still broken. It’s better — it’s actually a lot better, because the brokenness kind of tapped into an unknown emotional cord or connected to a sensitive, deeper place within me that I didn’t even knew I had…and that is a good thing. I’ve also seen so much beauty come out of this. People I don’t know, people I thought I knew, people I know now for real – sharing their similar experience.”
Fredrik ends with, “I want to comment that this is after all a real estate show. People tune in for the most expensive real estate on the planet, and I acknowledge that. There will always be trolls online critiquing me for being open about this journey — two men trying to become fathers, but I don’t care. This is me and this is all of me. I sell real estate, but I’m also a person with a big open heart.”

She knew to expect a stressful day of rehashing the season’s highs and lows (mostly lows) and now she’s sharing her thoughts on things that were said in this first of three installments.
On Yolanda Foster’s split from David Foster, Kathryn says, “I have no doubt that she will come out of it stronger, but it takes time.”
Of her Lyme battle, Kathryn says that it shouldn’t have even played a part in the other ladies’ storylines this season. “I feel as though Yolanda’s illness should have never been the subject of conversations. I didn’t like it from the moment I heard the word Munchausen, nor the discussions about Yolanda’s Instagram posts. I didn’t like the subject of her appearance being judged as to a motivation. All of it felt below the belt, and I didn’t want to be a part of it. As far as everything else goes, I was shocked. I thought it was a cruel joke for a second.”
She explains, “The accusation that Lisa R. made about the “storyline” was something I was hearing for the first time. It was shocking, and I couldn’t begin to make heads nor tails of it. Yolanda is clearly sick and this subject can’t be fodder for a story. I really don’t want to believe this. I don’t blame Yolanda for being upset. How could she not feel hurt? To make light of something that she just stated is the biggest contributing factor in her divorce…as a storyline? Not good. The Munchausen comment, no matter who said it, should have never been repeated. Bottom line is this: Lisa R. shouldn’t have spoke of it to anyone. I don’t care if the Pope asked her to repeat it, she shouldn’t have…I know she regrets it, she has said so several times.”
Kathryn firmly believes that Lisa Rinna can’t push the blame off on anyone but herself. “I will also say this…at this stage of the game, for me, as I have stated all along, I believe that the onus lies with Rinna. She can’t, in the 24th hour, try to pin this one on anyone else, regardless of what happened…and I have no clue as to what went down. I feel like a broken record, but I have to say it again…Rinna, you made the choice to talk about it. You’re a strong, smart woman. I know you’ve owned it and apologized…I just don’t know if it was smart to implicate others to take the pressure off yourself. And I have to say that Kyle seemed just as shocked as I was when hearing all of this.”
Kathryn adds, “It’s a big accusation to make, and my question is: to what end?
I understand Lisa R’s. quest to be heard and get it out, but I wonder if her need to get it out is worth the cost of the friendships…and at this point, sharing the information is hurtful to Yolanda. The relationship is damaged and possibly over, but I’ve never understood the person who wants to clear their conscience and tell you more bad news after the fact. Where were you when it happened? Why didn’t you step forward then?”
The moral to the story: “This one being that if no one got involved in talking about Yolanda’s illness in the first place, none of this would have happened.”
Closing thoughts on the Faye Resnick situation that brought her in to this season of RHOBH, “With regard to Faye R…(sigh)…I’m really so over and done with this topic, just about as much, if not more, than I am with the Munchausen topic. I spoke my peace to Faye, and I felt like I did the right thing when we met at Kyle’s back in August. I didn’t know what to expect from Faye. I had heard that she could be tough and unpleasant, so I was prepared for that. When Faye basically said that she didn’t want to go there, I respected her feelings. She made a blanket apology and I felt, watching the show, that it was a bit dismissive after the fact.”
She continues, “I think the timing of the FX show and the way she was portrayed on that show has more to do with all the negativity Faye is/was feeling, rather than it being the Housewives show that’s so upsetting. I didn’t have any further conversations with Faye all season other than surface pleasantries when we would see each other.
I have no agenda in trying to make Faye feel bad. I didn’t bring up the OJ stuff. Kyle asked me if I knew Faye at District the first time I met her. All the ladies talked about my previous marriage and gossiped about it…what did they think was going to happen? Please. There was much that could have been said, and as I stated on the reunion, I took the high road, and I don’t regret it.”
On teasing Rinna about her dietary habits, “I love to joke with people, and I like to think I have a good sense of humor. I can dish it out, and I can take it. I run with a lot of thick-skinned people and we tease each other but as soon as I sense someone feels hurt or doesn’t see the humor in something, I feel terrible. That being said, as I have stated before…I don’t think for one second that Lisa R. has an eating disorder. Lord knows if she did, it sure wouldn’t be something that I would ever kid about.”
