Gina Kirschenheiter is one of those housewives that really divides fans. Since she was first introduced to us on Real Housewives of Orange County, those watching have either loved her or hated her. Some think she’s boring, some think she brings a fresh vibe to the show. Others don’t think she’s inspirational enough while some argue that she’s easier to relate to than the run of the mill housewife.
Regardless of what you think of Gina, she’s had a rough year and most of it was either caught on camera or addressed on the show. Gina spent her first season on RHOC defending her marriage, all while hiding that it was crumbling behind closed doors. Once she went into the next season and admitted to costar Shannon Beador that ex-husband Matt Kirschenheiter cheated on her and was still with his mistress, I’m not sure if anyone was really shocked. Viewers couldn’t help but notice that Matt wasn’t only absent on camera, but he didn’t even live with his family. Gina blamed this on his job. But none of that really added up. Things only went from bad to worse after it was announced that they were divorcing.
News broke of Matt’s domestic violence allegations and it was all pretty heartbreaking. Gina’s future on the show seemed up in the air and you couldn’t really blame her if she wanted to take some time away from the scrutiny of the public. It was even teased that a big cast shake up was happening (we all know how that turned out) and many assumed Gina wouldn’t make it.
Luckily if you’re a Gina fan, you can expect to see much more of her. In a post on her Instagram account, Gina officially announced that she will be rejoining the cast as she starts filming the next season of RHOC.
In the picture, a very happy looking Gina is taking a selfie with a camera crew behind her. In the caption, she wrote, “Here we go again!!!” She also used the hashtags #rhoc and #crazybeautifullife.
Based on the comments, it seems like Gina has a lot of support going into this season. Some fans have commented on how excited they are. Gina has clearly moved on from a lot of the troubles in her life, even dating someone new. She regularly gushes about him on social media and it seems pretty serious.
Whether you enjoy what Gina brings to the show or not, I think we can all ban together and be happy for the happier direction her life has taken.

Kyle Richards has long been a fan favorite on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. She’s been a staple on the show since the beginning and let’s face it, she’s given us some good content. Ok, maybe not in the last few years because aside from renovating her house only to find another perfect one to up and move, she hasn’t really had anything to do outside of biding her time bringing down frenemy Lisa Vanderpump.
So what’s a gal to do now that she successfully pushed out her long term friend? We all know the cameras aren’t going to feature her ongoing lawsuits, much to my dismay. I’m pretty sure she isn’t moving again (at least I think). Kyle by Alene Too is officially closed for business. She certainly can’t spin her bee and flying anxiety into a whole storyline (or can she?).
Instead of letting us in on what she’s going to be bringing to the table all season, Kyle is weighing in on all the Denise Richards and Brandi Glanville drama. Kyle recently spoke out, telling Us Weekly, “I know what I think, but I think you have to wait and watch the show to find that out. I mean, you know what, obviously it’s something that’s between them but when it comes to the show there’s lots of things that force … we’ve all had moments where we don’t want to have something on the show or talk about something and that’s the most difficult part about being on reality television.”
Kyle continued to tease the season saying, “It’s a very rough ride with that situation and they’re gonna have to figure that out and you’ll see my opinion when the show airs.”
Let’s rewind and recap a little bit. All this drama (and possibly the only interesting storyline to come out of the upcoming season of RHOBH) started when former cast member Brandi claimed that she and Denise had an intimate relationship. Sources are saying that Denise “wants all of that footage taken out of the show.” It’s even been reported that Denise stopped filming and didn’t show up for the season finale party.
It’s gotten so tense that Kyle is even worried Denise wouldn’t show up to the reunion. Kyle told Us Weekly, “I didn’t think so, honestly, but apparently you know, she said she’s not going anywhere. I think she posted that the other day so I hope so.”
Kyle goes on to say, “Up until this season we hadn’t had any issues or anything and I’d like to see her stick around and be at the reunion and I think that it’s just better to deal with things head-on anyway even though it’s difficult sometimes.” What an odd comment to make considering Denise has only been around for one season and that whole season was devoted to everyone dragging Vanderpump.
Either way, Kyle seems to have high hopes for the upcoming season adding, “It’s a great cast. All the women are great. Obviously, we don’t always get along all the time but I have a tremendous amount of respect for all of them. They are all powerhouses and I really like that.”
She continues, “It’s been a really wild ride this season and it’s just, I don’t even know what to say.” Kyle also reveals to Us Weekly, “After ten years you think I could come up with something, but I’m always kind of speechless what ends up coming up on the show and the things that come out and the things that happen between everybody it’s been crazy. Ten years down and I’m still shocked.” Ok, well that makes two of us.

Dorit Kemsley and husband PK Kemsley just can’t catch a break. Ever since their opulent appearance on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, they have been plagued with bad story lines and press. Big fancy mansion is actually a rental? Check. PK owes a bunch of money he tries to weasel out of by filing for bankruptcy? Check. Dorit being sued by a former partner of Beverly Beach? Check. And finally, the worst accusation of them all – that Dorit and PK abandoned a sweet, defenseless little dog by the name of Lucy Lucy Applejuice to a kill shelter after adopting her from Vanderpump Dogs. CHECK. Whew, did I cover it all? No I did not, these are just the highlights. Don’t even get me started on Dorit’s fashion sense.
The one thing that has remained constant through all of these messes is the love and support that Dorit and PK seem to share. But now even that is being called into question.
According to Page Six, PK is working very hard to squash all the recent rumors swirling that he and Dorit are getting divorced. While one story had him living in a guesthouse of a friend in London, PK explains this “couldn’t be further from the truth” and he is actually in Australia with only client Boy George while he films “The Voice”. But they weren’t done with damage control, telling Page Six that they are spending Valentines Day weekend together with their kids in San Francisco.
PK might be embroiled in too many lawsuits to drop his coins on another Bentley for Dorit, so he did the best he could to show his love by taking to Instagram with this black and white awkwardly staged photo. He then posted one of Dorit and son Jaggar gazing out of hotel window with her clad in a very non-fashion forward bathrobe. Not to be outdone, Dorit posted the same black and white photo, along with photos of them out on the town in her Instagram stories.
Now I’m no relationship expert, but the timing of their social media love-fest does seem to be a tad suspect given all the divorce chatter surrounding them.
It doesn’t help that the two have a reputation for being smoke in mirrors when it comes to their public life. As much as I don’t care for them, I’m going to be keeping a close eye on the two of them to see what transpires next in their relationship.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey are known for their colorful drama. Teresa Giudice’s arrest, prison sentence and marital problems have fueled juicy storylines for years. Danielle Staub creates mayhem wherever she goes. Some RHONJ ladies, like Melissa Gorga, add to the mix by stirring the pot to make their more mundane lives seem exciting and relevant.
Housewife lives can be even more dramatic off camera. In May of 2017, former RHONJ Housewife Dina Manzo and her then-boyfriend David Cantin were the victims of a brutal home invasion reportedly perpetrated by two men. Besides having cash and jewelry stolen, David was allegedly hit with a baseball bat and Dina was punched in the attack. A man named James Mainello was eventually arrested for the purported crime in May of 2019 and was indicted a few months later. Now, surprising new information has come out about the upcoming trial.
According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, Mainello’s defense attorney Marco Laracca is calling the details of the attack into question. The attorney has a defense witness lined up who is apparently ready to dispute that David was ever beaten with a baseball bat.
Laracca is planning to call Board Certified Orthopedic Surgeon Dr. Peter DiPaolo to testify. He will reportedly state that it is “highly unlikely” that a baseball bat caused David’s injuries.
The documents further detail that Dr. DiPaolo says that baseball bat injuries are “very well-described in the trauma literature” and “typically result in skull and orbital fractures when someone’s struck in the head or face.”
Dr. DiPaolo will reportedly state that David did not sustain skull and orbital fractures, according to the photos and medical records he reviewed. David had reported he was hit with a bat “in the leg, knee, arm, back and face.”
TMZ reached out to Dina and David. Their attorney Andrew Brettler told TMZ, “This doctor did not even examine Mr. Cantin. He was hired by the defendant. For him to opine on Mr. Cantin’s injuries is ludicrous. My clients were the victims of a violent attack.”
According to Page Six, a Monmouth County Press release from last summer stated that Mainello was hit with multiple charges in the case, including “first-degree robbery, second-degree burglary, second-degree aggravated assault, third-degree aggravated assault, third-degree theft, third-degree possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose and third-degree criminal restraint.”
The entire situation must be very distressing for Dina and David, who have married since the attack. The upcoming trial means they will have to relive the nightmare again. A home invasion is one of the most violating things that can happen to anyone–if you can’t feel secure in your home, where can you feel safe?

The Ice Queen Cometh! Erika Jayne has been busy showcasing her talents of singing, dancing and acting on Broadway, where she is starring as Roxie Hart in Chicago. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star has been raking in the rave reviews for her performance and posing for pictures outside, where adoring fans are waiting after the show.
Erika isn’t just busy on Broadway, she’s also filming the latest season of RHOBH, along with fellow castmates Kyle Richards, Dorit Kemsley, Lisa Rinna, Denise Richards, Teddi Mellencamp, and newcomers Garcelle Beauvais and Sutton Stracke. Maybe to make up for the absence of the iconic Lisa Vanderpump, Erika Jayne and friends have been all of the media, hyping up this coming season and talking about how dramatic it’s going to be. Not sure if anyone actually believes that hype but that’s the story they are sticking to. But one big bone of contention that remains with fans is the lack of transparency on RHOBH. Mainly when it comes to all the lawsuits that the cast has been involved in.
True to form, Erika has been quietly fighting her own legal battle with husband Tom Girardi. Lucky for her, she can rest assured that her embarrassing $3 million lawsuit will be handled out of court, out of the prying eyes of the media AND the show’s cameras. According to court documents obtained by The Blast, Erika, Tom and the lender suing him reached a deal to have the case heard in arbitration, which is private.
It all started last year when Erika and her husband were sued for a cool $3 million by lender Stillwell Madison. The lender claims that Tom and his law firm took out a $5 million dollar loan. They were supposed to pay it back with profits from their cases.
According to court documents, Stillwell Madison claims that Tom promised to make timely payments. However, he accuses Tom of keeping the money “to sustain their lavish lifestyle and maintain their glamorous public image.”
Those same court documents obtained by The Blast continue, “Mr. Girardi has never followed through on any of his proposals.”
This is definitely not a good look for Erika. She is known for her extravagance (hello, bringing your whole glam squad to Dubai). But she isn’t the only one on RHOBH fighting a messy legal battle. Kyle and husband Mauricio Umansky were hit with a lawsuit over a $32 million dollar mansion. Not to be outdone, Dorit was sued by a former partner over her Beverly Beach swimwear line AND was involved in a lawsuit by a Las Vegas casino, alleging that husband PK Kemsley didn’t pay a loan. Both cases have since been settled but once again, those were all OFF camera.
Erika claims that this whole thing was merely a publicity stunt, accusing the lender of trying to tarnish their reputation in court. Either way, we won’t get to find out what really goes down with this lawsuit. This includes whether or not Erika and Tom can clear their “good” name.

Since it’s inception in 2016, the OLG restaurant has been a staple of Kandi Burruss‘ story line on Real Housewives of Atlanta. OLG was the idea of Kandi’ husband Todd Tucker, in the attempt to bring some more soul to the plates of local eaters. OLG, or Old Lady Gang, is an homage to Kandi’s mother Mama Joyce, along with her two aunts, all known for their amazing soul food style cooking. There are currently three locations.
But, owning a high profile restaurant can sometimes bring unwanted attention and nothing could be more true thanks to recent events.
On Friday night, three people were shot at the East Point OLG location, reports People magazine. The shooter was targeting a man eating inside of the restaurant and also shot two bystanders. According to witnesses, they heard gunshots and people screaming and running from the sounds. One witness recalls, “We heard two gunshots, and I saw somebody went out that door and I ran.” Another witness recounts they heard, “Screaming, a lady screaming.”
As if that wasn’t scary enough, police are still searching for the shooter in the ongoing investigation. It’s safe to say that the Atlanta community, along with Bravo fans everywhere, are shocked and saddened by the news. But no one is more heartbroken than Kandi herself.
In a statement released on her Instgram account, under the image of text that says”God’s Got You”, Kandi says, “My family and I are truly saddened by the unfortunate events that occurred at Old Lady Gang (OLG) Camp Creek, on the evening of February 14th, an evening that was meant to celebrate love, unfortunately turned into something quite different.”
Kandi continues,”Our prayers and thoughts go out to the individuals that were harmed or in any way negatively impacted. We are aware that this matter is being actively investigated by law enforcement and we are cooperating with law enforcement to bring to justice those involved.”
“As African-American business owners, it has been our goal to invest in our community by bringing jobs, quality dining, and a positive experience to the greater Atlanta area; we hope that you know and understand that the acts of violence that occurred yesterday evening do not, in any way, serve as a reflection of OLG or its values,” Kandi wrote.
Kandi concluded, “We appreciate all of the love and prayers that have come our way and we encourage anyone with any information regarding any aspects of the events that occurred to please reach out to law enforcement as soon as possible.”
While the investigation to find the shooter is ongoing, the three victims are expected to make a recover from their injuries. We are all sending our thoughts and prayers out to Kandi, her family, and everyone affected by this unfortunate event.
