Make sure to clear those DVRS: Fox has set its 2018 fall premiere dates and fans of 9-1-1 should take note. The hit drama starring Angela Bassett, Peter Krause and Jennifer Love Hewitt...Even though I never want Season 10 of Real Housewives of New York to end, I cannot help looking forward to the reunion episodes. It is going to be a total blood bath with Bethenny Frankel vs. the rest of the cast. The only person that Bethenny seems to be on good terms with is Sonja Morgan, which is somewhat surprising given their past tension, but also not at all given how quickly relationships change in this reality TV franchise.
One person who is definitely not on Bethenny’s side is Dorinda Medley– who also happens to be beefing with Sonja. How does that old phrase go? “The enemy of my enemy is my friend” is very much applicable here- in many regards.
Dorinda addressed her issues with Bethenny and Sonja during last night’s episode of Watch What Happens Live. She told host Andy Cohen, “Let me just say something.” She claimed, “Everything gets twisted.” Dorinda clarified, “I never said I was confused by why she was still using ‘Mrs. Morgan,’ but I thought your family crest… I didn’t know you got a family crest by injection. I thought a family crest is from your family.” This is one of the most random arguments in Real Housewives of New York history, but it is not really about the crest. There are many layers to this Dorinda vs. Sonja beef.
Speaking of Dorinda beef, Andy polled the audience, “Whose side are you on: Dorinda’s or Bethenny’s?” 70% of the audience side with Bethenny, which is pretty surprising since the polls usually favor the Watch What Happens Live guests.
Dorinda commented, “We are never allowed to get involved in any of Bethenny’s arguments, but she wants to get involved in all of ours. Now Sonja is her new best friend- the person that was ‘dead’ to her a couple years ago.”
Andy asked Dorinda if she was surprised by Bethenny and Sonja’s alliance friendship. Dorinda theorized, “She’s in default mode at this point.”
It goes without saying that Dorinda is on Carole Radziwill’s side when it comes to Carole’s feud with Bethenny. Even so, she admitted, “It’s difficult. I’m unhappy that they’re not getting along. I think it was really a true friendship and I think feelings are hurt. I think it’s a communication problem. Also too, I think Carole feels betrayed because she was really a loyal and good friend- not only on air, but off air. They had a very solid friendship and I think she was blindsided.” Blindsided by what though? I feel like there is a major chunk of the story missing and I would love to see a detailed and accurate timeline of this (former) friendship.
A caller stoked the flames by asking, “It seems pretty passive aggressive that Bethenny just unfollowed everybody but Sonja on Instagram. What’s up with that?”
Apparently this was news to Andy who looked visibly stunned and asked, “She unfollowed everybody but Sonja!?” Dorinda told him, “Everybody. And she never tags any of us. It’s her thing.” Still shocked, Andy asked, “Oh really?” Dorinda concluded, “Who cares? That’s what I think about it.” She does seem to care- at least a little bit. Then again, almost everyone has an issue with Bethenny, so she has nothing to worry about.
A viewer asked Dorinda, “Did you really think that it was a big deal that Ramona [Singer] posted the group picture online?” During the episode, Luann de Lesseps was upset that Ramona posted a photo with her (and some wine glasses) in it right after she came out of rehab.
Dorinda said, “Absolutely not and I’ll tell you why. I understand it from both sides, but someone should have told us. I could have even made the mistake. Remember, we’re not in that world so we don’t understand all the idiosyncrasies of getting arrested. I just wish she told us all to say ‘Just little favor here. Don’t post anything.’ Thank god it wasn’t me.”
And just to stir the pot even more, Andy asked, “How do you feel about keeping the ‘Countess’ name?” After an audible “Ummmm,” Dorinda answered, “I don’t want to comment” – which really says a lot. Doesn’t it? I’m just waiting for Luann to shade her back in 5…4…3…2…1….

The Real Housewives of Atlanta cast has begun shooting for Season 11. As of this moment, it’s a little bit unclear if Kenya Moore is in or out next season, but most of the Atlanta ladies went to Miami to support NeNe Leakes at her store opening.
Longtime Housewives Cynthia Bailey, Kandi Burruss, and Porsha Williams and previous Friends of the Housewives Marlo Hampton and Eva Marcille made the trip. Marlo and Eva have attended “cast” trips before even though neither of them has been a full-time cast member, so it’s tough to know who is a Real Housewife and who is along for the ride as a Friend of the Housewives. The casting mystery will not be completely solved until the season wraps and the first trailer is released. In the meantime, the fans are just left to speculate.
It’s going to be a while before we are blessed with new Real Housewives of Atlanta episodes. In the meantime, there are plenty of photos from the Miami trip for the fandom to enjoy. The ladies turned up at the club, celebrated Porsha’s birthday, attended NeNe’s store opening, and most importantly they all served up some great looks.
There was no sign of Kenya, so the jury is still out on her presence next season, but it is highly likely that NeNe, Eva, Cynthia, Porsha, Kandi, and Marlo will be a part of the action.
Check out the photos of the Atlanta Housewives in Miami by clicking through the photo gallery below.

It's summertime! The weather is perfect and the beach is calling your name...or if you're like us, you're sitting at home in your air conditioning watching TV. But what are you...
Appearing on Southern Charm as Thomas Ravenel’s girlfriend, it was inevitable for Ashley Jacobs to receive lots of criticism. Thomas has been an extremely polarizing character throughout the years and Ashley isn’t doing herself any favors by fighting with him and the mother of his children, Kathryn Dennis.
As a result, a lot of Southern Charm viewers are coming at Ashley on social media. Unfortunately, it’s for a lot more than just her antics on a reality TV show. Ashley has spoken out against the people who have commented on her extreme weight loss.
Ashley shared a photo of herself floating in a pool with a very lengthy rant addressing her haters. She began, “I was going to say in my caption something like, ‘Happy Summer Solstice’ and turn commenting off. But then I thought, ‘who am I kidding?’ Turn commenting off so I don’t have to read all the comments on how unhealthy I look? How about I be honest with all of you and address this weight concern once and for all.”
Ashley explained, “So here goes… In the last 8 months I have struggled with severe anxiety related to stress. I was completely overwhelmed with moving across the country, leaving my family and friends, being in a new relationship, not having my nursing license, oh and being on a reality TV show! I made these choices and I take complete accountability for them. What I lacked was proper coping mechanisms.”
She continued, “I dropped a lot of weight in a matter of months. I was putting too much pressure on myself, not taking care of my health and fitness, along with other external stressors. People deal with stress in a multitude of ways (some of them healthy, some of them not so much). It’s important to monitor your response to stress, anxiety, or any other negative emotion in order to keep your health in check. I’ve learned the hard way that you need to ask for help when things aren’t going well.”
Ashley told her followers, “You need to talk to qualified professionals, get medical support, and not feel ashamed or try to ‘tough it out.’ It isn’t easy, but there is hope for me and I believe that things will get better.”
She concluded, “I’m allowing comments but if you could please try to refrain from saying, ‘Eat a cheeseburger, you’re on drugs, you have an eating disorder, or you’re way too skinny,’ I’d appreciate it because TRUST ME, I know… I’ve heard it all and it doesn’t help. I appreciate everyone’s concern and hope you can all support me. I know how far I have strayed from who I used to be, and could be once again. I’m committed to choosing my health and well-being first.”
Aside from the message itself, it is very interesting timing that she posted it right before the episode of Southern Charm when Kathryn revealed her own anxiety and depression. Is that purely a coincidence? Is that a calculated move against Kathryn? Is she just continuing an important dialogue?

Luann de Lesseps just wanted to spend the weekend in her bathrobe trying to forget about her less-than-countess-like behavior in Palm Beach, but Ramona Singer ain’t gonna let that happen. She’s not just the maven of the Hamptons, ya’ll – she’s also the maven of mayhem! The Real Housewives Of New York trip to the Mayflower continues this week with Luann learning more about Ramona breaking girl code. Bethenny Frankel reveals that The Apologizer not only tried to crash Tom D’Agostino’s New Year’s Eve party – she actually has drinks with that dirtbag regularly. Whaaaaaa?
Tinsley Mortimer gets put on blast for being a psycho girlfriend trying on wedding dresses behind Scott’s back, and Dorinda Medley confronts Bethenny about the tension between them. Dorinda also can’t seem to un-trigger herself when it comes to Sonja Morgan and her delusions of family crests and P. Diddy on yachts. Why can’t Dorinda just be cool? Not, like, all uncool? She needs to back that sh*t up before someone screams “TAKE A XANAX! CALM DOWN!” the next time Sonja’s harmless deer slippers are waved in front of her face.
Before the madness begins, the ladies gather for yoga. Carole Radziwill updates Dorinda on the many missteps of RaMONSTER – her wayward social media posts, her trolling for invitations to Tom’s divorce party, her general nastiness toward service staff…shall we continue?
Afterward, Dorinda and Tinsley talk about Sonja’s FAMILY CREST. Ugggghhh. Dorinda still can’t handle Sonja’s delusions of hanging on to the Morgan name, but Tinsley doesn’t see any harm in it. Sonja’s daughter is a Morgan, so who cares if she carries on the legacy in her head? Meanwhile, Ramona is still unbothered by her Instagram post. She doesn’t see why Luann is upset that she made their dinner photo public, even though wine glasses are littering the table. “I drink WORTER out of wine glasses. WHO CARES?” barks Ramona, on whom all rules of basic human decency are utterly lost.
In another room, Dorinda asks Bethenny if they’re okay. Bethenny doesn’t feel “totally safe” around Dorinda, and Dorinda feels likewise. But she wants to get past whatever awkwardness is between them in the name of moving forward. “There’s an energy going on around me and it just is what it is,” says Bethenny. As she practically bursts into tears, Bethenny does that thing where she barks about being vulnerable and hurt in the same breath as she pushes away all hands reaching out to comfort her. Basically, she’s a wounded animal. And when Bethenny is wounded (by Carole, in this case) she growls louder.
After massages later, Tinsley and Carole take a stroll through the grounds. To discuss how no one appreciates Carole’s marathon moment enough? GROAN. Oh, wait – no! They’re talking about something far more sinister: Adam. He’s apparently reached out to Carole, but she’s not interested in taking in another shelter dog rekindling the romance. She’d rather “work” – and by work, she means meeting deadlines for 250-word articles monthly, which are roughly a quarter of the length of these recaps that we churn out in about an hour and a half ON THE DAILY. Okay, rant over 
Tinsley isn’t concerned with work. She’d rather try on wedding dresses and cry over frozen eggs, which Carole can strangely relate to. Okay, I’ve decided that these two deserve each other.
Lounging by the indoor pool, Luann and Bethenny have another heart to heart about Lu’s repressed rage. She never dealt with her breakup, and she’s still mad as hell at Tom for galavanting all over town with other women right after they split – not to mention him throwing a huge party on the anniversary of their wedding (NYE). Luann is committed to her sobriety and even plans on attending AA meetings to “keep honest.” Good for her.
But someone else isn’t keeping honest about her recent activities, and its name rhymes with BOLOGNA. Yep, Ramona has been cavorting with Tom at THE REGENCY, of all places! Bethenny delivers this news, knowing she’s adding fuel to the already white-hot fire, and of course, Luann is immediately incensed. But homegirl doesn’t want to get handcuffed again so soon after just having slipped that first pair…so she’ll try to restrain herself at dinner later.
When they ladies sit down to eat, Bethenny noticeably runs to the opposite end of the table from Carole, which Sonja notes is typical when B has her “walls up.” Not the best move for making up, but it looks like this feud isn’t going to be a short-lived one anyway, given the nature of Carole’s blogs this season. As Ramona orders the waiter around like her personal assistant, Dorinda confesses that her – erm – nether regions have been recently groomed. “It was like Abraham Lincoln down there!”
Bethenny asks Tinsley if she’s getting married because she heard from “a friend” (???) that she and Dale tried on wedding gowns recently. Tinsley tries to explain her single white female behavior as just a gag! But Bethenny doesn’t think so. “It’s like going to try out coffins!” she snarks, sending half of the table into snorting laughter and the other half into cringe-ville. Tinsley defends that she can try on wedding dresses anytime she damn well pleases, thankyouverymuch. And Carole tells producers that Bethenny has no room to talk because she was looking at engagement rings two weeks after dating Dennis. Oh, snap!
But it’s Dorinda and Sonja who eventually bring the house down when Dorinda goes in AGAIN about the f**king family crest. Unable to take any more of Dorinda’s insults about crests and deer and last names that don’t belong to her, Sonja just stands up and screams. Like a toddler who needs to leave Target for her nap RIGHT THIS MINUTE, Sonja is left with no other options than howling and stomping her foot at the adult who won’t listen to her. No juice cleanse in the world can bring her blood pressure down.
“WHY DO YOU CARE?!?” screams Dorinda, followed by Bethenny backing Sonja up. And um, I have the same question: Why, Dorinda? WHY? Because she has no good reason to keep digging, Dorinda lays down her shovel and climbs out of her hole. “I apologize to you, Sonja. I won’t bring it up again,” she says. Sonja accepts it, but Bethenny doesn’t. She thinks Dorinda’s apology is B.S.
Oh hey, it’s Luann’s turn to fight with Ramona about the IG post now! Ramona’s all, “You didn’t tell me to post it. I didn’t get the f**king memo. I’m SORRY.” Luann isn’t accepting The Apologizer’s response, nor her wish to brush off the nonsense about trying to score an invitation to Tom’s party. At this point, Ramona is actively trying to hurt Luann, right? But since she knows she’s caught in her dirty deeds, Ramona just dredges up some crocodile tears and pretends to be contrite. No one buys it. “I un-der-STAND,” says Ramona, who – let’s face it – doesn’t understand how to say the word “ramifications,” why water is wet, or why all of the poor people are angry. #RhodesScholar
“What you did was the lowest of the LOW,” says Luann. Ramona doesn’t understand why Lu is so upset – I mean, she’s just hanging out with Lu’s ex-husband, who Luann is obviously still raw about. Um, our girl Luann just got ARRESTED because of her unhinged post-divorce behavior. But Ramona is too dense to put two and two together, let alone see her part in exacerbating the problem. Because no one will ever solve a problem like Ramona, Luann just finally leaves the table. She doesn’t want to drink over this thirsty chick.
Back at the house, banana bread is laid out for the group, which delights Ramona. “You seem really broken up about what happened between you and Lu,” Sonja eye-rolls as Ramona scarfs down her treat.
Up in Luann’s room, Carole stops by to discuss the Ramona issue. She understands Luann’s perspective. “You need a friendship break from her,” suggests Carole, while Ramona continues to defend herself downstairs. Carole thinks rehab has already worked wonders for Lu, and frankly, she’d like some o’ dat herself. “I’m so proud of you,” Carole tells Luann as she hugs her, which is a refreshing moment considering the history of bad blood between them.
The next morning, Luann is wide awake and ready for yoga but climbs into bed with Bethenny and Sonja instead. Lu thinks Dorinda is off her rocker for getting so triggered by the Morgan “crest” idiocy, and Bethenny thinks Dorinda is awful for sticking up for Ramona. Because, let’s be real: Ramona is ALLLLLL kindsa wrong for her behavior right now, and there’s no way around it. At least Sonja got Dorinda off her jock once and for all, which pleases the young Jedi and her master.
As the ladies pack up to leave the last day, Ramona is coached (by Dorinda) to make up with Luann before it’s too late. “I’m a work in progress,” shrugs Ramona, who will never change, but does understand what it takes to hold an apple for ten straight seasons. Ramona slinks into Luann’s room to deliver a rapid-fire apology, but Luann isn’t ready to hear it. So she shuts the door on a yapping Ramona, leaving her to run away with her tail between her legs. She’ll have to go piss up another tree.
TELL US: WILL LUANN FORGIVE RAMONA? SHOULD SHE? IS THE BETHENNY/SONJA ALLIANCE WORKING? WHY IS DORINDA SO OBSESSED WITH SONJA’S FAMILY CREST???

It didn't used to be this way. Once upon a time, you could turn on the TV while getting into bed after a long day and forget about the troubles of the world with some easy laughs...Even though Camille Grammer was the “villain” during Season 1 of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, pretty much every viewer had sympathy for her by the end of the season. She was completely blindsided by her husband Kelsey Grammer having an affair and filing for divorce. We even had to watch her try to save her marriage by being his date at the Tony Awards after he told her the marriage was over. It was absolutely heartbreaking to see- even to the designated “villain” of the show.
Obviously, Camille is way better off without Kelsey, but it’s a shame that they seem to have no relationship these days- even for the sake of the two children that they share together. Now Camille is speaking out about her lack of relationship and the lack of acknowledgment from her ex-husband.
It all started when a Real Housewives of Beverly Hills viewer responded to a post about an interview that Kelsey did by writing, “I’ll never forgive him after what he did to @TheRealCamilleG.” Camille saw that post and responded with “I don’t begrudge him his happiness. What’s unnerving is that fact I was there to help him get through some of his hardships and supported his career and his sobriety. I was rt by his side and he acts like I never existed that’s disappointing. We were together through his success.”
Camille followed up with another tweet: “I was there during the writers strike and the cancellation of Back to You. We moved the company to our home in Malibu. I sat at his bedside for 8 days straight while he was in the cardiac intensive care unit in NYC. I read him poetry and helped washed his hair. Now I don’t exist.”
The OG Beverly Hills Housewife continued, “We have two beautiful children from our union and I was blessed to have shared those years of my life with him. We have both moved on. Just wished it ended in a more civil manner.”
Soon after, Camille tweeted a screenshot of a quote that was very applicable to the Twitter rant: “It hurt. And she carried on. It failed. And she carried on. It broke. And she carried on. She carried on. And it passed. She carried on. And it changed. She carried on. And it was beautiful.”
TELL US-ARE YOU SURPRISED BY THE WAY KELSEY TREATS CAMILLE? WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT HER TWITTER RANT? DO YOU WANT CAMILLE TO BE A FULL-TIME CAST MEMBER NEXT SEASON ON REAL HOUSEWIVES OF BEVERLY HILLS?
