Brandi Glanville Implies More Drama With Denise Richards; Says “You Wanna Play-”

Brandi Glanville Implies More Drama With Denise Richards; Says “You Wanna Play-”

Season 10 of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills sounds very interesting. Lisa Vanderpump escaped is no longer with the franchise. Former RHOBH stars Brandi Glanville, Kim Richards, and Camille Grammer have been filming for the upcoming season. Obviously, they are there to pump up the drama. I must say that I am surprised that Camille is back after last season’s crazy reunion.

It sounds like Denise Richards is the focal point of much of the drama for Season 10. It seems that Denise has skipped filming because of her acting jobs, and that annoyed her fellow Beverly Hills Housewives.

According to HollywoodLife, a source said, “She’s definitely not as close to a lot of the ladies as she was last season and her friendships with them are not what they once were. They’re all upset that she’s never around and find it really unfair, but Denise is busy working.”

In October, The Bold and the Beautiful actress told HollywoodLife her side of the story. “Housewives is a reality show, so they film reality, and whatever you’re working on, they’ll film that. I think that the Housewives film the jobs, and family life and other things we have going on in our life, otherwise it wouldn’t be a reality show,” Denise explained. So,  since we will be seeing reality, will we see Denise ditching filming to work on her other acting projects?

Of course, Brandi had a lot to say about Denise. Shocking, right? In December, HollywoodLife reported that Brandi called Denise to warn her that Denise was going to be targeted by RHOBH co-star, Kyle Richards.  A source told HollywoodLife, “Brandi came to Denise because they met through a mutual friend during season 9. Brandi really empathized with Denise and everything that she went through in her past, so she called to warn her about her conversation with Kyle.”

But Denise wasn’t sure of Brandi’s intentions. “Brandi had been contacting several of the women because she wanted back on the show,” an insider stated. “Denise felt Brandi was just brought back to cause drama the entire last month of shooting and that she was set-up to get into heated fights with her and Camille [Grammer,”]

Now Brandi is taking aim at Denise. US Weekly reported that Brandi lashed out at Denise in several tweets. On December 29, Brandi tweeted “I just got ‘Denised.’” Brandi then wrote, “Seriously bitch???? You wanna play-“ Exactly how does one get “Denised?” Perhaps it involves lots of tequila, which is Denise’s beverage of choice.

Brandi later tweeted, “Going into 2020 like…” She added a GIF of herself from Season 2 of RHOBH, showing her with a cocktail saying, “Bring it, bitch.”

Brandi finally ended her Twitter tirade with these words: “1-blackmail is illegal. 2-I have no skeletons in my closet (they’re all on the internet) 3-slut shaming is soooooo last year.”

What is going on between Denise and Brandi? Brandi filmed a dinner scene with Denise during Season 9 and said that they had been friends for years. Something major must have happened between these two ladies. Or maybe Brandi is still trying to win that diamond, and her full-time Housewives position, back. RHOBH viewers will have to wait until Season 10 to hopefully get some answers.

'The Bachelor' star Peter Weber boasts his ending won't be spoiled by spoilers -- "There's a reason why no one will find out the ending"



The Bachelor star Peter Weber says there's a reason why no one will find out the ending of Season 24 and he's looking forward to it being the first unspoiled season in a long time.

Luann De Lesseps Confirms She’s Drinking Again And “Toasting To A Happy New Year Ahead”

Luann De Lesseps Confirms She’s Drinking Again And “Toasting To A Happy New Year Ahead”

Yeah, she’s drinking (again), Luann! After a long and arduous couple of years, Luann de Lesseps admitted that she’s started drinking alcohol again following the completion of her probation in 2019, and I mean, is anyone surprised?

The Real Housewives of New York City star opened up about her decision to kick off 2020 by imbibing in a new interview on New Year’s Day.

“New Years has been a time of reflection,” the RHONY star told People. “I’ve learned a great deal about myself, and I’m in a very good place and finally back in the driver’s seat.”

The Countess‘ decision comes after viewers watched her struggle through sobriety and a seemingly never-ending host of legal issues over the course of the last two seasons. As fans will recall, Luann was arrested in the middle of Season 10 following a drunken altercation with police in December 2017 involving a hotel room mix-up, death threats and Lu famously slipping out of her handcuffs and making a break for it. Eventually, she was charged with battery of an officer, resisting arrest with violence, threatening a public servant, trespassing and disorderly intoxication.

Of course, the news that Luann is back to drinking makes the storyline she’s been pushing since her arrest a bit…confusing to say the least. As part of her plea deal to avoid more jail time, the RHONY OG voluntarily entered an alcohol treatment center, and returned for a second stay — magnanimously organized by former co-star Bethenny Frankel after a particularly off-the-rails relapse — just one day before the Season 10 reunion.

Then, the cabaret star proceeded to spend all of Season 11 condescending to her fellow Housewives regarding her sobriety, dragging Sonja Morgan to an ill-fated AA meeting, lecturing Tinsley Mortimer about her father’s alcoholism, and even mocking the socialite for slurring her words during an explosive confrontation on the season’s cast trip to Miami.

However, the apparent hypocrisy of those on-camera moments doesn’t seem to matter all that much to the RHONY star anymore now that she’s done with probation. “I’ve always said my journey is day by day,” she exclaimed during the interview. “I’m toasting to a happy new year ahead!”

Real Housewives Of Dallas Reunion Part 1 Recap: 4 Funerals & A Wedding

LeeAnne Locken Real Housewives Of Dallas

LeeAnne Locken Real Housewives Of Dallas

Last night was part 1 of the Real Housewives Of Dallas reunion and it was more than abundantly clear that everyone was ready for the LeeAnne Locken stranglehold to end. Those hands… they are stuffed and swollen with filler and cannot hold on!! Even Andy Cohen was geared up for battle.

And then there was Kameron Westcott who made up her own language, which was a combination of gibberish and pig latin, and I’m pretty sure she prepared for this reunion by watching Legally Blonde and believing she was winning at court. (She wasn’t).

First Brandi Redmond updates everyone on the status of adopting Bruin’s sibling. Brandi and Bryan had made the decision to go through with the adoption but the birth mother unfortunately lost the baby. Brandi took the news hard and the only person she told was real-life BFF Stephanie Hollman

Then it’s time to discuss LeeAnn’s many-fiascoed wedding. No one even got into the million showers she made her ‘friends’ throw, because no food at the reception took precedence. LeeAnne attempted to blame production needing a break for why there was a 4 hour intermission in between the service and the reception. Andy quickly shut that down by reminding us that Bravo has filmed 509,829,375,093 x 2 weddings and most people do the reception immediately after the ceremony, which has never been a problem before. This was just the first of LeeAnne’s many wedding-related lies.

LeeAnne refused to admit that she didn’t feed people because she couldn’t afford it, or couldn’t find someone to give her free catering. She tried to throw Brandi under the bus by insinuating that she didn’t have a sit-down dinner at Bruin’s party (she had a full buffet…). LeeAnne said since the reception started at 8, but she and Rich Emberlin are senior citizens who eat at 6pm, it was far past dinnertime. Except LeeAnne didn’t even have people passing out appetizers – I mean WTF! Cake does not a dinner make (unless you’re me when I have PMS).

For the record, even Kameron admitted she was starving.

LeeAnne insists she never tried to hurt her mother with wedding vows bashing her childhood because she wrote them immediately before the ceremony and didn’t have time to vet them. Kary Brittingham is confused about how a woman who has waited so many decades to get married didn’t pay more attention to undoubtedly the most important part of a wedding ceremony. I don’t want Kary’s advice on marriage, but agree with her there. LeeAnne spun some BS about how she was moving forward and letting go of her past… by continuing to dine out on it every chance she gets. Maybe that’s why there was no food at the wedding? LeeAnne was full from eating her own past!

Andy Cohen Real Housewives Of Dallas reunion

Then there was LeeAnne’s lie about the post office losing 30% of all mail. I really wish USPS would have issued a rebuttal, but instead some very helpful reader determined that actually only about 4.7% of all mail is lost. Ergo LeeAnne lied about sending Kary an invite. LeeAnne blamed her wedding planner, Steve Kemble, for telling her that 30% of invitations weren’t sent out because they got lost, and for basically everything, prompting Andy to wonder if Steve was really capable of doing his job. Buuuurn!

Brandi wasn’t offended by her text-vitation, because she never planned to attend that shit-show to begin with. She’s seen enough of LeeAnne’s carny antics to know it wasn’t worth her time – even if she was otherwise just sitting at home on her couch recording the sound of her own farts, then editing the audio to make them sound like singing. I have NO idea if that’s a thing but if anyone could produce a fart opera it would be Brandi (and Stephanie).

RELATED – Real Housewives of Dallas Star Kary Brittingham Throws Major Shade At LeeAnne Locken’s Wedding

LeeAnne couldn’t invite D’Andra Simmons because the only people at the wedding were close and intimate friends. Like Kary? And the bloggers she invited from places like People Magazine, or Ben and Ronnie from Watch What Crappens. My invite was definitely one of the 30% that got lost in the mail apparently!

Also LeeAnne said Rich was still hurt by D’Andra — even though actual footage showed Rich saying LeeAnne needs to forgive because he already has. Instead LeeAnne wants D’Andra to continue to do more and more to prove their friendship matters -like inviting her out to lunch. LeeAnne only wants to salvage her friendship with D’Andra now that everyone else on the cast hates her – she’s trying to find another ally. Kam is not gonna cut it anymore.

Stephanie Hollman LeeAnne Locken Real Housewives Of Dallas

Speaking of Rich, everyone is disgusted that he was commenting on hot women during his own wedding. LeeAnne dismissed it as Rich being complimentary of all her friends for being so beautiful, and Rich actually said those things directly to her, but the clip was edited.  She even attempted to blame Travis Hollman for encouraging Rich’s raunchy comments as ‘boys will be boys’. Stephanie is upset by this, rightfully so.

Brandi Redmond Real Housewives Of Dallas

Brandi finally adits that Rich’s open ogling and comments have made her uncomfortable in the past. Apparently Rich has never heard of the #MeToo movement…

LeeAnne then tries to flip the narrative to say Jeremy Lock asked Rich who he would rather have sex with: Brandi or Stephanie. Brandi and Stephanie both look horrified at this prospect (EW!!!). D’Andra dismisses it as a “bold-faced lie.” Andy agree that if this had been hot mic’d Bravo DEFINITELY would have used it. And Bravo, unlike the postal service, loses 0% of incriminating or embarrassing footage.

On that note, D’Andra is still convinced that Rich cheated (and I am too), but decided to apologize for starting the allegations because she was hopeful to mend her friendship with LeeAnne. LeeAnne says the cheating allegations lost him a six-figure government contracting job because “if you cheat on your wife you’ll cheat on your country.”

D'Andra Simmons Real Housewives Of Dallas

D’Andra, who once worked for the government, was quick to point out that almost every man in Washington is cheating yet still retaining their Q clearance, and that it was Rich’s association with LeeAnne which cost him his clearance and the job. What D’Andra means, I’m assuming, is that the feds told Rich to stop appearing on Real Housewives Of Dallas or being in any way associated with reality TV. Then LeeAnne tries to dismiss Jeremy’s own military service as him being ‘just a photographer.’ Yeah, a war photographer. An award-winning one at that!

So, after working harder than a pair of Housewives’ Spanx to destroy each other, LeeAnne and D’Andra’s friendship has finally been done, dusted, and buried.

RELATED – D’Andra Simmons Thinks LeeAnne Locken Is “Nasty & Premeditated”

Finally moving on, Kameron and Brandi still have unresolved garbage over the “trash comment.” Brandi is hurt because of childhood issues and LeeAnne pipes up that she’s the only one whose not allowed to have childhood baggage. The difference is that LeeAnne has constantly childhood baggage, which she whips out when she wants to manipulate the situation or gain the upper hand, and she’s not even carrying this baggage in a Birkin that comes with its own rain coat. More like a pair of moldy Birkenstocks after a carnival.

Last night I finally figured out Kam and LeeAnne’s connection: they both have this crazy self-logic of deflecting onto others. For instance, Kameron claims she only used the word trash at that dinner in Mexico because Stephanie “implanted” the word in her brain earlier in the day by asking “Is this trashy?” while they were peeing behind the horse trailer during the polo match. I mean, it’s genius in its attempt to Kam-splain, but it is utterly and completely stupid as a way of actually explaining anything.

Then Kameron was trying to say Brandi’s behavior is “trash,” not Brandi herself. And yes, Brandi screaming and cussing in Kameron’s face was trashy behavior. Just as Kameron admits throwing a napkin was trashy behavior. In the end Kameron offers Brandi what seemed like a super sincere and heartfelt apology and Brandi hopes she can trust Kam’s sincerity. Get over it Brandi!

Kameron Westcott Real Housewives Of Dallas

Speaking of getting over things … Kameron now says she has psychological trauma from Stephanie calling her surface because it gave Kameron flashbacks of feeling like a “dumb blonde” – a horrible and scarring label she’s fought her whole life to overcome. Kameron has the hot pink sparkly badge of courage to prove it! As Kameron attempts (and fails) to squeeze out a fake tear or two, Andy points out that Stephanie was calling their friendship surface, NOT Kameron herself.

Kameron revises history to say Stephanie called her names all season, like “elitist” and Kameron is taking cues from Frozen 2 about fake people. Kameron is mostly upset because after Stephanie went around town calling her “a badger” (wasn’t that last season?) behind her back, Stephanie and Travis asked Kameron for a reference to some country club. Now Kameron feels like she was tricked into giving them a glowing review. So country club charity is Kameron’s illustration of how she’s not elitist?

Stephanie Hollman Real Housewives Of Dallas

Stephanie, in turn, feels like Kameron is constantly dismissive of her, refuses to hear what she is saying, and treats her like a dog. Considering how Kameron treats her dogs, is that really so bad? I mean Kam’s dogs have a better life than I do!

RELATED – Stephanie Hollman & Kameron Wescott Are No Longer Speaking; Stephanie Says Kameron Acts Like A “Bully”

Andy asks Kary about her marriage to Eduardo, and she is still waiting on him to give her some money. Perhaps Kary a J-O-B. She claims her marriage is not always emotionally fulfilling but that presently she is happy.

The reunion ends cycling back to LeeAnne vs. Kary and all the drama in Mexico. LeeAnne blames her rude behavior when they arrived at Eduardo’s family home on being drunk. Also apparently she sleeps naked and therefore cannot share a room with people — except if those people are Kam.

LeeAnne Locken Brandi Redmond Stephanie Hollman

It was all so stupid Brandi pulled out a flask and passed it to Stephanie. Because sometimes you just cannot deal.

Kary says if LeeAnne had just told her that she wasn’t comfortable sharing a room (let alone a bed) but that she still wanted to get to know her better, Kary would have been understanding. I agree that LeeAnne handled the situation badly, but I think it was ridiculous for Kary to expect a women she does not know to feel comfortable sharing A BED with her. But yes, LeeAnne’s manners in handling the situation were abysmal and the miscommunications, as we saw, did not improve over dinner.

Kary Brittingham Real Housewives Of Dallas

Kary was trying to ask LeeAnne why she never had children so she could get to know her better but LeeAnne misinterpreted the comment as a dig. Kary certainly phrased it wrong, which is likely the result of English being her second language, but LeeAnne reacting by throwing suicide and molestation into the equation was just gross. Both Stephanie and D’Andra are upset that she was so flippant about using suicide as a manipulation tactic. D’Andra especially was hurt given that her father took his own life. LeeAnne insists she truly was feeling suicidal that night and even Andy finds this to be offensive nonsense. Like D’Andra says LeeAnne uses her childhood as an excuse, and if she was raised by her grandmother she was raised by love.

RELATED – LeeAnne Locken & Husband Rich Emberlin Say D’Andra Simmons’ Husband Jeremy Lock Cheated On Her

Next week LeeAnne and Kary’s arguing intensifies and it seems like the Mexican comments are addressed. It is not looking good for ol’ Locken! Honestly you guys this is a GREAT reunion. I am loving it, and I might be the only one, but I really love Real Housewives Of Dallas. LeeAnne most certainly needs to go, because everyone – including the other ladies – are obviously over treating her with glad-hands to avoid her insane drama that overtakes the entire show. Time to send LeeAnne packing to Marriage Bootcamp!

Married at First Sight Season 10 Premiere Recap: First Comes Marriage, Then Comes Love

Married at First Sight Season Premiere Recap: First Comes Marriage, Then Comes Love

The season premiere of Married At First Sight begins with all of the participants hearingthat they are engaged! Surprise, you are about to marry and live with a complete stranger. Cue the nerves and instant bubble guts. For the first time in Married At First Sight history, there will be five couples. I love this show, but I know I couldn’t live with a stranger for eight weeks and appear sane. The experts claim they use science and insights from previous seasons to make decisions on matches. Given some of the train wrecks on previous seasons, let’s hope they changed the formula. After viewing the trailer, this season looks like it’s going to be GOOD!!!!! When I say “good,” I mean filled with drama.  There are definitely some strong personalities and hard truths this season.

The couples have just found out they are engaged and now only have less than two weeks until their wedding day. Each person reveals the news to their family and most are shocked, to say the least. This is a short time to convince people close to you that you are not totally insane. The participants each have to find their wedding attire, have bachelor/bachelorette parties and convince their guests to show up to a shit show wedding. While shopping, everyone seems to be excited and in good spirits. It’s always fun until the reality of what they signed up for, sets in.

Brandon & Taylor

Brandon Reid is a 34-year-old sales manager who was raised in Washington D.C.  He is the life of the party and tired of going to events alone. When Brandon reveals he will be married in 10 days, the women in his family look at him like he is crazy. His grandmother can’t understand why a man like him would need to marry a stranger. Yes, Granny, we want to know that, as well!

Brandon was matched with Taylor Dunklin, a 27-year-old research scientist from Pittsburgh who was raised by her mother. She never knew her father and credits her mother for raising her to be a strong, independent woman.  When she meets with her family they aren’t totally against it, but it depends on the man that has been chosen for her. I hope Taylor ditches that wig before the wedding.

Married at First Sight Season Premiere Recap: First Comes Marriage, Then Comes Love

Mindy & Zach

Mindy Shiben is a 34-year-old figure skating coach from Maryland. She still believes in true love, despite her parents’ divorce. After the shocking death of her younger sister, a miscarriage, and years spent dating the wrong men, she wants a family. When she shares her plans with her sister, she is shocked but all for her doing something new, to get different results. Mindy’s parents have chosen not to support her choice.

Mindy is matched with Zach Justice, a 32-year-old fitness professional who was raised in Georgia. When Zach reveals his plans to his friends he is met with skepticism. Uh oh, if someone in his family doesn’t show up to this wedding, it will be a huge red flag.

Married at First Sight Season Premiere Recap: First Comes Marriage, Then Comes Love

Derek & Katie

Derek Sherman is a 26-year-old cyber security engineer who was raised in a tight-knit family in Maryland. Although his parents divorced when he was young, he still believes in marriage. He has never been in love, but hopes to find it with his new wife. Ummm… yea, I’m not sure how someone with so little experience, will fare in a marriage. When he tells his family he is getting married, they are scared he is making a terrible decision. I think he sees this experiment as more as thrill-seeking experience than a chance at love. I could be wrong, but I am not putting my money on him.

Derek is matched with Katie Conrad, a 25-year-old child therapist.  She is a type one diabetic and wants to have children sooner rather than later. I’m not sure a man who has never been in love is that man to have kids with so soon. But, I could be wrong.  She wants to find a soul mate after years of struggling to do so, on her own. When she tells her family they literally have the most supportive reaction I have ever seen. Shockingly, she reveals despite plans to be married in 10 days, an ex has made her question her decision.  Wow, this has disaster written all over it on both ends.

Married at First Sight Season Premiere Recap: First Comes Marriage, Then Comes Love

Austin & Jessica

Austin Hurd is a 31-year-old network technician that grew up in Maryland with his parents and siblings. He has been ready to be married for quite some time and hasn’t found the right person. When he tells his family, he is met with some questions, but for the most part, they are supportive.

Austin will be married to Jessica Studer, a 31-year-old nurse manager from Ohio who was raised on a Christmas tree farm. She learned the value of marriage from her parents, who have been together for 35 years.  She is extremely close to her twin sister, but felt lonely when her sister got married and started a family. Jessica hopes to create her own love story through this process. When she tells her sister and brother-in-law, they immediately tell her it’s a bad idea, but will do what makes her happy.

Married at First Sight Season Premiere Recap: First Comes Marriage, Then Comes Love

Meka & Michael

Meka Jones is a 25-year-old category analyst who grew up in Baltimore. She is the oldest of five children, whom her mother raised as a single parent. She is an independent woman who refuses to settle. When she reveals her plans to marry a stranger, her family is elated.

Meka will marry Michael Watson, an education coordinator and yoga teacher. He was raised in Washington D.C. by his aunt, who adopted him following the death of his mother. He will be the first in his small family to be married. When he tells his family his plans, they are shocked, to say the least. His sister gives him some sage advice for his journey in love. There is something that seems really endearing and genuine about this guy. I will be keeping my eye on this couple.

Married at First Sight Season Premiere Recap: First Comes Marriage, Then Comes Love

The experts get the brides and grooms together individually to meet one another the day before the wedding. Each group shares their fears and hopes for the wedding and the days moving forward. I have to say this is an interesting bunch of individuals. I can’t wait until their representatives are put away and their real personalities start to come out.

At the bachelorette party, some of the ladies show their wild side. The girls each take turns giving awkward lap dances to their guests at an empty bar. Umm… weird. Katie continues to ramble on about her casual hook up ex. If she is that unsure, she should have let someone who is actually ready to get married, be on the show. I can already tell that I am not going to like this woman.  The guys have a mild night hanging out with friends at a bar.

It’s finally the day everyone will meet their stranger spouse! The first couple to get Married At First Sight is Katie and Derek. This is actually hilarious considering the bride was thinking about another man all night. While getting ready, Katie is having a complete breakdown about actually marrying a man she doesn’t know and may not like. If this woman, mentions her ex one more time, I am going to scream! I guess we will have to wait until next week to see the couples walk down the aisle. I can’t wait to see each reaction. Early prediction…this marriage is doomed.

Tune in Wednesday nights at 8 p.m. EST/7 p.m. CST on Lifetime for new episodes of Married at First Sight.

TELL US –WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE MATCHES? WHO DO YOU THINK IS MOST LIKELY TO NOT STAY MARRIED? WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE COUPLE SO FAR?

Real Housewives Of New Jersey Recap: Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow

Danielle Staub Margaret Josephs hair pull Real Housewives of New Jersey RHONJ

For the most part, The Real Housewives of New Jersey are all in a good place. The only real conflict right now is between Margaret Josephs and Danielle Staub. However, they’ve managed to avoid one another for the most part. THANK GOODNESS. The last thing this group needs is more wine glasses thrown or drinkings being spilled. TAKE A XANAX! CALM DOWN!

Danielle and Margaret cannot outrun each other forever though. These two women will never like each other, and it is what it is. There is so much bad blood. This might be one of the most epic feuds in Real Housewives of New Jersey history. It’ll be interesting to see how this rivalry progresses the next time they’re in the same room. It’s all supposed to go down in this episode too!

Melissa Gorga and Joe Gorga take their children to get ice cream, and it looks so good. I’m so jealous because I can’t have any. New year’s resolutions and all.

Melissa asks her kids how they would feel about them having another baby. It seems like they have their hands full with the ones she has. Her daughter is SOOO against them having another baby. DUH. Same Antonia.

Joe gets up in arms after learning his daughter knows where babies come from. Joe didn’t Eminem tell you that by the time they hit fourth grade they got the Discovery Channel? Sometimes Joe is very cavemen with his thoughts and viewpoints. Ugh.

I’m still stuck on the reactions of her kids. They want no part of a new Gorga baby coming into the house. I love how disgusted they are.

Teresa Giudice is at Danielle’s house, so drama is right around the corner. Danielle comes off severely unhinged. I genuinely worry about her at times.

Danielle probably shouldn’t be in this group of women. Her mental state just isn’t strong enough for this. NUTZO to the max.

Teresa tells Danielle that her father had pneumonia and got taken by ambulance on Easter. That’s so sad to hear. He’s the heart of that family, and when he passes away it’ll be so sad.

Teresa’s inviting all of the girls to a shopping event. ALL of the girls. They’re all going to be in the same place. Lord help us all. There’s no way this is going off without major fireworks.

Marty Caffrey shows up and Teresa confronts him about lying to her on the phone. He denied sleeping with Danielle, but it clearly happened. Marty and Danielle both blame Margaret for the downfall of their marriage.

Of course, Teresa’s falling for this act. She is so easily suckered into Danielle’s victim act. Get a grip Teresa and recognize how Danielle is playing you.

Later on, Teresa takes Gia prom dress shopping. I can’t believe Gia is old enough to be going to prom. I feel so old right now. My life is slipping away!

Poor Gia though. She’s so devastated that her father can’t be there for yet another milestone. That really is a shame to see her go through.

At the dress shop, Joe Giudice calls. Oh boy. Here we go. Teresa and Joe immediately get into an argument. The topic turns to Teresa “spending all of Joe’s money”.

Is Joe serious? Teresa is making all of the money right now. You’ve been in prison for like four years, so calm down. Joe wants her to cut him a break, but does he really deserve it?

Joe is so nasty to Teresa on the phone. It comes out that he made Teresa sign a prenup before they got married. He also goes on to say that he didn’t even want to get married.

The most interesting revelation is that if Joe cheated during the marriage, the prenup is void. Looks like Teresa is likely going to make some BIG TIME coin. Live your best life girl.

Jennifer Aydin is hosting Easter dinner for her ENTIRE family. That sounds so exhausting. Too many people and too much work. Wow, I sound so lazy.

Her children scream bloody murder when they see the lamb head. In their defense, it is a little creepy. I’d probably run away like a screaming banshee too.

Jennifer’s daughter asks her grandmother and confronts her about the church’s view on her gay uncle. What a heavy topic. Her grandmother says she didn’t know that her son was gay. LOL OKAY. It’s crazy how reserved people can be still in 2020.

Gabby bringing this up at Easter is a major moment for the family. This could be a real turning point in the direction of the family. It’s just so heartbreaking that they don’t acknowledge their son’s true self.

Dolores Catania is so attentive to her parents, and it’s really admirable. Her father needs to change his lifestyle, or he will die. That’s a simple fact. The “widow maker” is not something you want to screw around with.

Why is everyone so critical of her relationship with David Principe? It’s really nobody’s business. Let the woman live her life!

Margaret, Jackie Goldschneider, and Melissa meet up for dinner. I suspect some hot gossip is coming up! They discuss Joe’s situation and how heartbreaking it is for the girls.

Danielle plans on going to Teresa’s event in a “very expensive” outfit. Who says that? That’s such a pretentious thing to say out loud to people.

I agree with them all about Danielle’s motivations with Marty. It’s definitely so she can keep that damn house. What a toxic person.

It was hilarious hearing them speculate whether or not Teresa and Danielle have a romantic relationship. I personally, could never imagine Teresa with a woman. I just cannot see that being her thing ever.

There’s a lot of tension building ahead of this event, which means anything can happen. ANYTHING. I’d imagine Danielle will be at the center of all of it.

Danielle does look good. I’ll give her that. Dolores is the next to arrive after Danielle. She is nice to Danielle even though everyone knows she can’t stand her.

Dolores doesn’t understand why Teresa is laughing at Danielle’s jokes about Margaret. Teresa definitely knows how to hold a grudge. She will hold that bone forever. Similar to Jackie.

I love that Margaret gives no fu**s about Danielle. Teresa may not like who Margaret really is, but it’s warranted. Danielle is not an innocent little puppy dog in all of this. Let’s clear that up now.

Jennifer says Danielle “scares the f**k” out of her. I can relate. It is everyone against Danielle, but you reap with you sow. JUST SAYING.

Danielle says they’re all mean girls and needs Teresa to make it stop. Teresa walks over and tells them all to stop. SHE IS SO BLIND.

Dolores is GOLD for calling out Marty for playing everyone in this scenario. Margaret loses it and calls out all of the negative things Danielle said about Marty.

Teresa. Sweet Teresa. STOP IT. What are you doing right now? Obviously, we are going to get a proper Teresa vs Margaret feud.

Margaret and Danielle trade insults. Jackie gets involved. Melissa points out that Teresa must be watching a different reality than everyone else. Besides Teresa’s blind loyalty to Danielle, everyone is on board that Danielle’s crazy.

MARGARET POURED A BOTTLE OF WATER ON DANIELLE’S HEAD. THIS IS WHY WE CAN’T HAVE NICE THINGS. No worries though because Danielle responded by dumping out Margaret’s purse. LIKE WHAT?

The ending of the episode though. What a moment. We all knew it was coming, but that didn’t make it any less impactful. Danielle PULLED Margaret’s ponytail. None of this is okay. Where does this group even go with Danielle from here?

TELL US – ARE YOU TEAM MARGARET OR TEAM DANIELLE? SHOULD TERESA TRUST DANIELLE? ARE YOU ENJOYING THIS SEASON OF THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NEW JERSEY?
