Scheana Marie Says She Never “Rounded All The Bases” With Shep Rose Since He’s Usually Too Drunk

Shep Rose Scheana Marie Shay Watch What Happens Live

When Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright got married, it was a real Bravo affair. Obviously, there were Vanderpump Rules cast members in attendance and as members of the wedding party, even though Jax regretted some of those decisions. Summer House alums and Shep Rose from Southern Charm attended the wedding as well. Jax and Britany even designated Shep as “the worst wedding guest.”

And now Scheana Marie is sharing her not-so-glowing review of Shep’s wedding… performance, if you will. She admitted that she had every intention of hooking up with him that weekend, but it just didn’t happen, thanks to alcohol.

During a recent interview for the Vanderpump Rules After Show, Scheana shared, “Southern Charm, Summer House, and Vanderpump Rules all sort of cross at times because we’re all genuinely friends with them.” I wish more of this was filmed. Charli Burnett chimed in with “I want a Teresa Giudice crossover.” Same here. Someone fly her out to West Hollywood (post-pandemic, obviously).

An off-camera producer asked Scheana, “Did you hook up with Shep at the wedding?” She responded, No, no, that was definitely an intention. We hooked up like a year before that. We never had sex. [We] did not sleep together.”

Then, she shared some interesting details. Scheana claimed, “He’s not the best at rounding all of the bases. By the time he hits second going onto third base, he’s like too drunk to remember what he’s doing. So, at the wedding, it was like a bunt to first [base] and like the start of a drunken makeout. I can’t, I can’t. I can’t do it. It was so sloppy. And, I love Shep and he’s a sweetheart. And we have so much fun together. He’s honestly one of the funniest people I’ve ever met in my life.”

She added, “We had fun together, but to try and make out drunk and sloppy… I mean the guy was walking into oncoming traffic in Lexington.” How attractive. Scheana recalled, “I was like ‘I can’t, I can’t. No amount of alcohol is gonna make this OK tonight. I can’t.” After Shep’s drunken antics, Scheana admittedly went for one of the groomsmen instead.

Meghan Edmonds Reportedly Contests Prenup As She & Jim Edmonds Try To Finalize Divorce

Meghan Edmonds Jim Edmonds Real Housewives of Orange County RHOC

Meghan Edmonds Jim Edmonds Real Housewives of Orange County RHOC

Meghan Edmonds and her estranged husband Jim Edmonds are en route to having one of the ugliest divorces in Real Housewives history. First, he was caught sexting illicit photos while the Real Housewives of Orange County star was giving birth to their twin sons. They somehow managed to stay together after that, with both of them insisting he never cheated. Meghan even claimed that he wouldn’t cheat on her with someone who looks “disgusting.”

Then, she accused Jim of having an affair with their nanny. He denied it. His daughter bashed Meghan publicly. He started dating a woman that they had a threesome with. They battled it out when Meghan took their kids out of state during the coronavirus pandemic. Meghan accused him of partying in Nashville mid-pandemic. Jim ended up contracting coronavirus. These two just keep getting nastier and nastier.

Jim’s representative A “source” told People that Meghan is contesting their prenuptial agreement. However, it is ironclad, apparently.

The former MLB star’s rep told the magazine, “Jim’s prenuptial agreement is valid, enforceable and generous, and we fully expect it to be upheld. Meghan and her attorney reviewed the agreement several weeks before the wedding and agreed to the terms.”

 

RELATED: Real Housewives Alum Meghan Edmonds Has A New Boyfriend

 

He added, “Meghan herself has publicly explained the agreement was done at her urging because she didn’t want Jim’s family to think she was trying to take his money.”

Jim’s rep added, “Jim is voluntarily paying Meghan more than three times the amount of child support required by court guidelines.” The rep also shared, “He is letting her live in one of his homes in St. Louis and is paying the mortgage and all the bills for that house. He gives her money for a nanny and housekeeper. He pays for almost every single expense related to the children. And he pays half the rent on her Los Angeles beach house.”

With all of that detail, are we really expected to believe that a random source is the one that leaked that info to People? Sure, Jim. We see right through that. Clearly, Jim and his rep leaked this info.

Ramona Singer Says Dorinda Medley Needs Anger Management Classes

Dorinda Ramona anger

In a surprise to most Real Housewives of New York fans, Ramona Singer has served a voice of reason for most of the current season. However, things are really blowing up for her this week. She turned against her friend of 20 years Elyse Slaine, who responded by sharing screenshots of their private text message conversations. Leah McSweeney called out Ramona for refusing to include her sister Sarah McSweeney on a cast trip.  Leah and Sarah also accused Ramona of “pooping her pants” and “flirting with drunk, married men” at the same time.

On top of that, Ramona is beefing with Dorinda Medley, who has, apparently, taken a break from tearing down Tinsley Mortimer to fight with Ramona on social media. She also thinks that Ramona is “insensitive” to what she’s going through. This off-season fighting is a lot more interesting than the rather boring season we’ve been watching.

During a recent Watch What Happens Live appearance, Ramona admitted, “I really wish now, when I saw that episode when she was really hating on Tinsley at the orchard, that I should have said to her, ‘Shut the duck up’ because, unfortunately, we are all afraid of Dorinda with her anger and she’s just out of control. She needs anger management classes.”

Apparently, Dorinda was watching since she tweeted, “@ramonasinger I need anger management! You’re terrible to your fans, friends, and wait staff. WatchBravocon!! Ask @SlaineElyse @CynthiaBailey10 @Jillzarin @KenyaMoore @SonjatMorgan just a few #leahmcsweeney #waitstaff #fans List is too long to tweet! Get Help!”

Dorinda also accused of Ramona of wearing a face mask solely for damage control after she got called out by some fans online. According to a screenshot from the account Comments by Bravo, Dorinda commented, “Why you wearing a mask now? First time #damage control.” Dorinda sure seems… well… angry.

Kandi Burruss Calls Out NeNe Leakes For Writing Reunion Reads Ahead Of Time

Real Housewives Of Atlanta Kandi Burruss

Real Housewives Of Atlanta Kandi Burruss

When NeNe Leakes stormed out in the middle of the Real Housewives of Atlanta virtual reunion, she left her computer monitor on with a notebook shoved against the screen. On that notebook, were some notes NeNe had on hand for the taping.

It looked to a lot of people that NeNe wrote down pre-planned her reads against her co-stars. So much for being off the cuff, right? Meanwhile, Kandi Burruss seems to be the only one who actually complied with the rules. While the other Housewives admitted to having glam squads at their homes in the middle of the pandemic, Kandi did her own hair and makeup. She also came up with her own insults, off the top of her head too. Unlike some people…

Kandi told Page Six, “I do not write down any of my reads . . . That was off the dome.” And we can all tell, she seems so frazzled when she explodes at the reunions. Then, Kandi alleged, “But some of the girls do practice and write down their reads.”

Kandi continued, “When Nene got mad and closed her computer, you can see part of her notes in there. I died laughing, because I’ve been saying that for years — that some of the girls have been practicing . . . before coming on the show. People thought that I was exaggerating.” And now we all know what’s up. Why would NeNe expose herself by leaving her notebook full of pre-planned lines in front of the camera?

 

RELATED: NeNe Leakes Says Kandi Burruss Has “Never Been Number 1 In Anything She Has Done”

 

Considering how much NeNe brags about being the only remaining OG on Real Housewives of Atlanta, that’s just such a rookie move. Even NeNe’s biggest haters, expected more from her. Then again, this is the same person who bailed on doing her job. The bar for what we can expect from her just keeps getting lower.

NeNe just stays pressed while Kandi keeps on winning.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Star Jenna MacGillivray Denies Bullying Accusations And Addresses Social Media Haters

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Jenna MacGillivray Denies Bullying Accusations And Addresses Social Media Haters

Ah, the perils of becoming a reality TV star.  It’s easy in the beginning to think of the thrills, the ego boost, the money, and the increased social media presence.  But what happens when fans turn on you.  Just ask Below Deck Sailing Yacht Chief Stew Jenna MacGillivray.

Anyone following the season may not be surprised that Jenna has become the pariah of the crew.  She was brusque with her team, and engaged in extremely unprofessional PDA with Chef Adam Glick.  There was never a missed opportunity to tell subordinates that they had no right to an opinion, even on crew nights off the boat.  With all the fan backlash, it’s worth questioning whether Jenna has done any retrospection since filming wrapped.

It turns out Jenna is both seeing the error of her ways, but also defending herself against questionable editing.  That seems to be a theme with Bravo shows recently.  Just ask the Southern Charm cast.  Regardless of what viewers may think of Jenna, bullying is never justified, and Jenna says that she has been receiving a lot of hate.

Jenna spoke with In Touch Weekly and explained the situation.  “The stuff that people write is extremely vile,” she said, “it’s hard for me because it’s [about] the way I’m depicted on the show-it’s not who I am as a person.  So it’s very hard to defend myself.”

 

RELATED: Below Deck Sailing Yacht Star Jenna MacGillivray Says Georgia Grobler Paget Berry’s Flirtation Was Inappropriate

 

What’s even more frustrating for Jenna is that she has, “no power” to correct her image and the, “certain persona has been presented”

Does Jenna regret some of her actions on the show?  “Definitely,” the Chief Stew said.  She does acknowledge that she lacked empathy at times.

 

RELATED: Below Deck Sailing Yacht Star Jenna MacGillivray Says People Get Mad At Her When She Apologizes

 

“I’m very direct, and I do pride myself on my communication, but I think, at times, when I feel frustrated with somebody, I get on the defense,” Jenna explained, “I don’t think I ever spoke in a derogatory way- [but] if I were to go back, I would be a little bit softer in my tone.”

Jenna said she questioned coworkers’ attitudes and performance, without hurling personal insults.  So “bullying” claims are “absurd.”

 

RELATED: Below Deck Sailing Yacht Chef Adam Glick Says He & Jenna MacGillivray Are Still In Touch Post-Breakup

 

Maybe it all comes to personal preference on managing styles.  “Some people really like that management style, but I also know that not all people do,” Jenna said, “I really need to [work to] accommodate other people’s way of communicating that may not be the same as my own.”

Jenna did have some positive feedback as well.  She had a touching moment with an ailing charter guest that resonated with fans.  The primary was suffering with cancer, and Jenna had a moving conversation with the woman.  It was after the episode aired that a fan reached out.

“This guy contacted me and said that his mother has Stage 4 cancer and that episode really spoke to him,” Jenna explained, “he said his mom had been given a new energy from watching me.”

Jenna connected with the fan, in an attempt to talk with his mother.  She credits interactions like that for keeping her perspective positive.

Jenna said, “what makes me genuinely feel good is making other people feel good.  I guess it’s difficult for me to feel like I didn’t do that at times.”

Scheana Marie Reacts To Vanderpump Rules Editor Getting Fired; Says Lisa Vanderpump Dismissed Her When She Asked For Help

Scheana Marie Lisa Vanderpump Vanderpump Rules

Scheana Marie Lisa Vanderpump Vanderpump Rules

It’s the second coming of Scheana Marie all! A couple months ago, we received confirmation about something Scheana fans had long suspected. Scheana was deliberately being edited in a negative light by FORMER Vanderpump Rules editor Bri Dellinger, because Scheana didn’t “befriend her” outside of the show. Question: how did Bri even get a job editing on this show if she didn’t graduate from middle-school?

Sure, we all enjoyed watching Scheana, at times, be the butt of a joke. But this past season of Pump Rules producers and editors went too far. They crossed a line when they decided to frame Scheana to look like she was hitting on Stassi Schroeder’s younger brother, Nikolai Czermak. Soon after this, Bri shared she was behind the negative edits. She has since been fired, set her social media to private, and remains unapologetic. Now, #JusticeForScheana can really begin.

As reported by Us Weekly, Scheana spilled her thoughts about the shady editing on Maria Menounos’ “Better Together” podcast. “I think people mistake my kindness for weakness and just think it’s OK to always walk all over me …because I’m such a forgiving person,” Scheana said.

She continued (by stating the obvious), “the bitches are winning! They’re the ones with most followers, they’re the ones with the most job opportunities! I’m not a mean girl. Next season, you’ll see more of that Scheana: more outspoken, confident and secure, and not afraid to tell people how I feel. No one is ever afraid of hurting my feelings, why should I be afraid of hurting theirs?” Seriously! I hope Scheana really brings it if VPR gets renewed.

 

RELATED: Kristen Doute Says Scheana Marie Carried Vanderpump Rules On Her Back This Season

 

Menounos asked Scheana if anyone else on the cast noticed her negative portrayal. Scheana said, “it’s not that nobody believed me. I think just, everyone else had it better and nobody cared.” She went on to speak some more truths, “we tend to be in a group of very selfish people who, you know, they care about themselves and how they look and once that looks good … [They say] ‘I’m getting everything I want, so I don’t care.’” I can believe that Scheana’s peers on the show wouldn’t care at all. But, it is a bit surprising that Lisa Vanderpump wasn’t more supportive of her bad edit, according to Scheana.

According to Page Six, Scheana shared, “I went to [LVP] last year and she knew I was really upset with how things were going into last season.” Scheana elaborated on this by talking about what went down in a scene that had Scheana crying in LVP’s kitchen: “the whole scene where they do this stupid montage of ‘I’m not jealous, I’m not jealous, I’m not jealous, I’m not jealous.’ I was crying to Lisa, just like begging her to listen to me.”

 

RELATED: Vanderpump Rules Editor Who Made Scheana Marie Look Like She Was Hitting On A Teen Got Fired & STILL Hasn’t Apologized

 

To this, LVP said, “oh please, stop it. Be professional. Do your job. Stop breaking the fourth wall.” Lisa’s response is interesting considering the fact that she left Real Housewives of Beverly Hills after many years of “bad edits.” LVP also didn’t do her own job when she refused to show up to last year’s reunion. Which was something she blasted Adrienne Maloof for not doing earlier.

Scheana continued, saying, “I’m like, ‘Let’s break the fourth wall. Let’s talk about the real issue. I’m jealous that Dayna [Kathan] is … coming on our show and now is getting to showcase her career when she hasn’t worked a day in her life for this. Like literally, it was just handed to her.” It definitely seems like it. Plus, do we really need to see more of Dayna’s basic standup routine?

 

RELATED: Scheana Marie Calls Dayna Kathan “Calculated” & Says She Was A Stassi Schroeder Fan Before She Joined Vanderpump Rules

 

LVP “couldn’t be reached for comment,” according to Page Six. The fact that Scheana is even sharing this about LVP is a good indicator that the gloves are off. Let’s hope we see more of Scheana’s “bad side” on the reunion!

Real Housewives Of New York Recap: MOB Life

Real Housewives Of New York Leah McSweeney

Real Housewives Of New York Leah McSweeney

I love Real Housewives Of New York. Also, I want to hang out with them. The FOMO is worse than ever with this whole quarantine thing and everything. I will drink 10 martinis and lose my mind with Leah McSweeney. I will tear down the genteel (only-in-delusion) Upper East Side establishment – starting with their flowers. I will burn Newport to the ground with a fire of toasted marshmallows and vodka. It will be great. Ramona Singer can take her wannabe elegance and stuff it like a lobster roll.

Anyway, Ramona has invited all the Real Housewives of New York ladies to beautiful and sophisticated Newport, RI where she’s attempting to refashion herself into some sort of elegant grand dame in the search of a wealthy husband. Pssst…. Turtle Time, that ship has sailed. Meanwhile, there is Tinsley Mortimer, whose family actually owns a house in Newport where they spend summers. They winter in Palm Beach.

See, this is why they hate Tinsley. It’s not her screeching, or the whining, or the Power Puff Girl makeup with plastic-y tears, it’s the access. The blue bloodstock that doesn’t come from marrying up, and won’t dry-up with divorce.

Dorinda Medley is meeting them in Newport, coming straight from Blue Stone Manor where she’s supervising the renovation. When Dorinda said a flood I had envisioned a little bit of water dribbling down the wall and I chalked it up to karma for having giant dead fish swooping over the walls where her guests slept. However, seeing the actual scene at Bluestone. HOLYYYYY… I get why she’s so anxious. This is a historic home and to do a restoration correctly is painstaking and nervewracking. That said, I cannot wait until these girls can go back there and trash it again.

 

RELATED – Real Housewives Of New York Recap: Sins That Won’t Wash Away

 

On the bus to Newport Leah drops the bomb that she’d like her sister, Sarah, a new mom, to join them for the weekend. Leah says Sarah needs a break and a night away with her new fun friends (re: absolutely batshit crazy old broads they can laugh at) will be perfect.

Also, Leah is going through something with “Pita Chip,” the guy she was dating for his baked goods. They hooked up, then were supposed to have a dinner date but on the day of he never called to confirm, so Leah texted him in a rage and accused him of sucking dick. Now it’s over before it even got started. As a result, Leah is feeling really badly about herself (and hopefully her hair-trigger temper), and she’s too anxious to eat. Which doesn’t mix well with the general extracurricular activity of this group: consuming alcohol.

So about the sister – I am on both sides. Leah should’ve planned this out in advance instead of putting Ramona on the spot. Although I don’t see how it really matters if she joins. However, Ramona, who wants to control the nuance of the group, doesn’t want an interloper she doesn’t know (who likely has more tattoos than Leah) showing up and out-hotting them all in her bikini. Ramona also doesn’t want Leah and Tinsley going off with Sarah to do fun young people things, leaving all the grannies behind to reminisce about their days at Studio 54.

However, Leah tells Ramona she looks 25 and is her surrogate mother, which is … all kindsa MTV Teen Mom weird, but it works so Ramona initially agrees that Sarah can join them for the second night.

Howevrrrrrrrrrr… once they get to the hotel, which is posh and very fancy, and are greeted with gorgeous craft cocktails and a lunch of lobster rolls (which Leah does not eat), Ramona starts having second thoughts and RESCINDS the sister’s invite. Leah will not be told no. Like a child she starts running around the dining room, dancing up and down, begging and whining. She corals Dorinda and Tinsley, and even Luann de Lesseps to agree with her that her sister can come.

Tinsley knows Sarah and co-signs her greatness. Sonja Morgan and Elyse Slaine both say nope. Me thinks they saw Sarah’s Instagram… This is mutiny in the Housewives world. A civil war which will be won by the woman with the most stamina for antics and outrage. Ramona has met her match. Once again Ramona is pressed into saying yes, then they all go to their bungalows to rest up before dinner, which is a clam bake befitting of a Martha Stewart Living spread.

While everyone else relaxes, Leah keeps drinking. Oh, she also calls her sister and tells her to drive up the following day for an overnight.

Real Housewives Of New York Sonja Morgan Luann de Lesseps Ramona Singer

Ramona and Sonja are of course sharing a ‘cabin’ and it gives them plenty of time to conspire. After thinking about it AGAIN, Ramona decides she doesn’t want Leah’s sister coming after all. This time, away from the persuasive fan dance of Leah waving linen napkins, Luann agrees.

Sonja promises to support Ramona in breaking the news to Leah. Ramona decides she’ll offer a ‘cocktails and conversation’ event at her house as a conciliatory substitution where she can vet Sarah for future reference. Well, we saw how well Ramona’s last cocktail party went when Dorinda got thrown out! Also, I’m so sure Leah and Sarah want to hang out with aging former trophy wives, discussing Tom and Harry’s pass-around dicks. (Which obviously Leah and Sarah would pass on completely.)

At least the beach party was beautiful for about 15 seconds. Ramona even brought plastic crows leftover from last year’s New Years Eve for all the women wear. Immediately Leah decided that the cocktails were too weak, and so too, apparently was the company. She asks the bartender to start making hers double (or triple), and before the appetizers are even served she is literally making love to the stake holding up the pergola. Ramona tries to warn Leah to slow down, but that only makes Leah, a rebellious teen at heart, want it more. Ramona literally yells across the party that Leah is a recovering alcoholic and shouldn’t be drinking such strong drinks.

Real Housewives Of New York Ramona Singer

Ramona is intent to prove her dominance though, both over this trip and her friend group, and by telling Leah that Sarah is uninvited (again). Unfortunately, Sonja is wavering in her Ramotional Support role. Sonja lets Leah sit on her lap. She doesn’t stop her from flinging the flowers. She at one point was dragging Leah by her ankles across the lawn as Ramona literally tried to tackle Leah to make her calm down, but only because Ramona decides this is the moment to inform Leah that her sister is canceled. Ramona literally wrestled Leah to break the news. In response, Leah decides break everything else in sight. Especially Ramona’s ego.

While all this is happening a super trashed Tinsley sits down on Dorinda to slur that she doesn’t want to fight, she just wants to hug. Dorinda is in her Mrs. Medley mode though and chooses to lecture Tinsley (again) on how she’s still not being forthcoming about her life. All Tinsley hears is that Dorinda thinks she has cooties. WHY DOES EVERYONE HATE HER?! NO ONE LOVES HER!!!!!! FROZEN EGGS!!!!!!! I mean can you imagine if Tinsley was acting the way Leah did?  Actually, they might actually like Tinsley then.

Leah does not take the news well. She breaks down into hysterical – fake – sobs and throws herself on the ground. Sonja tries helping her to feet, but only succeeds in taking Leah’s shoes off. Dorinda is chasing her before she impales herself on a lobster fork. Dorinda understands Leah – a kindred spirit in rage and retaliation. Leah, like Dorinda, loves to go hard, and they’re all fine and dandy until you piss them off. Yeah, the difference is that Leah isn’t mean. She’s ridiculous and outrageous and a lot of work to babysit, but she’s not mean. Dorinda is. Also, Leah isn’t bitter to her core, just the sole of her sneakers.

Finally, Ramona realizes that Leah has her beat. If she doesn’t want the entire trip to be ruined she has to agree to let Sarah come. Leah is a master manipulator and I love it! She has stolen Ramona’s crown – literally!! – by ripping it off her head, and now Leah is the one whose tantrums reign supreme.

The next morning Ramona and Sonja are in surprisingly good spirits and Leah is also surprisingly fresh, although she has no memory of what happened the night before. Instead, her night of living ‘Keith Richards Takes Newport’ was cathartic. So she runs into the waves with Dorinda for a baptism.

Elyse is less enthralled. First she tells Ramona she was out of line for inviting, then uninviting the sister. Once she told Leah yes the first time that had to stand. Ramona doesn’t know these proper etiquette rules though. Although Elyse also thought Leah was out of line to ask in the first place.

Elyse lectures Leah about being so drunk and her behavior probably being the reason she doesn’t have a man. Dorinda immediately defends Leah and snaps that Elyse is no psychologist. It’s interesting that Elyse is finally coming out of her shell, and whew this crab is shady!

As they head into town for shopping, Elyse, riding with Ramona and Sonja, complains about Dorinda being a hypocrite and mimics her lecturing Ramona for judging Leah, after screaming at Tinsley for being a materialistic slut. It was, actually, pretty funny. A rare moment when Elyse’s inclusion in this group made sense. However, then shopping happened.

In the middle of a boutique Leah tries to explain why Elyse is out of line to criticize her, but instead hearing Leah she goes a step further by asking what she’d do if her own daughter acted like that. Leah is livid. She storms out of the shop, dropping a slew of F-Bombs, which has Ramona seething with the vapors. She’s mortified. Her reputation! Quick somebody get her an Hermes beach towel to fan her injured sensibilities with! Or a Bloody Mary.

Outside Leah complains that Elyse has no right bring up her daughter and she’s tired of being judged by these hypocrites. I agree. Who is Elyse Slaine in this world? Furthermore, after the way Sonja and Dorinda behaved in the Hamptons and the orchard, Leah doesn’t think her meltdown was all that bad. “I thought I was allowed to chug 10 martinis and lose my mind?” she quips. DING DING DING for the double standard! We need Martin in charge of this ring. And yes, I didn’t see Elyse pulling Dorinda aside to lecture her about the example she’s setting for her daughter by calling Tinsley a prostitute.

What these ladies always need to get them back is a bar. Now Ramona is bemoaning that her childhood issues of being raised in an alcoholic home were triggered by Leah’s outburst. What – Ramona had nightmares of being forced to forage for vodka? It was also embarrassing for Ramona to have to relive these moments of Leah cursing in public in a sophisticated environment like Newport.

Was Ramona the little matchstick girl of the Berkshires or something, looking in through the leaded glass windows of all the mansions salivating over oysters? Ramona claims Leah’s behavior was so traumatic she “blanked it all out.”

Luann immediately calls Ramona out on this BS, and reminds Ramona that she’s been plenty embarrassing all around the world, and therefore has no business pointing the finger at Leah. Furthermore, Ramona didn’t blank anything out – she was blackout drunk too! Dorinda is also on Leah’s side. As punishment for causing Ramona distress, she turns her back on Leah and Tinsley, literally blocking them from the group. Leah gets so upset she leaves the restaurant. Tinsley is used to it. Her eggs, sitting in a lab petri dish, get more attention.

Once again Leah has manipulated Ramona into capitulating. Ramona follows Leah outside to give her a hug and apologize. Ramona is trying this new thing where she connects to young people so her sister-daughter Avery will let Ramona come on spring break and, or teach her to Tinder. Ramona promises to let go of some of her judgements to accept Leah. Well, next week we see that this was all talk on Ramona’s part.

Personally, I love Leah and think she’s shaking up the status quo! Also finally Tinsley has a friend – something she’s so badly wanted for so many years, but that Dale wouldn’t allow her to have.
