Brittany Cartwright’s Mom Sherri Cartwright Is Hospitalized In The ICU
It’s been a rough week for the cast of Vanderpump Rules. After the resurfacing of racist behavior, multiple cast members were let go earlier this week.
Fans began a social media campaign calling for the firing of Jax Taylor. And his wife Brittany Cartwright was forced to issue a statement saying she had nothing to do with racially insensitive comments against former cast member Faith Stowers. So things are probably a little on edge in the household of Jax and Brittany.
But Brittany has way more to worry about than VPR right now. Us Weekly is reporting that her mom, Sherri Cartwright, has been placed in the ICU after emergency surgery.
In a recent Instagram Story, Brittany asked for her the support of her fans, writing, “Please keep my beautiful mom in your prayers.”

Sherri has appeared on VPR and the one-season, limited-episode spinoff, Jax and Brittany Take Kentucky. She announced back in March about her plans to have the procedure. “I’m having bladder surgery March 30 and off work for 8 weeks. So I’m flying to LA for recovery to stay with Jax [and] Brittany. Can’t wait to see them and my Vanderpump moms. Please keep me in your prayers.”
Brittany’s rep confirmed the news that Brittany’s “mother is currently in the ICU due to serious complications from bladder surgery. Brittany has been beside herself and asking for prayers. She is planning to go to Kentucky to be by her mother’s bedside next week – it’s been complicated having visitors at the hospital due to COVID-19 which has been very difficult for Brittany and her family.”

Sherri’s pastor, Ryan Dotson, took to Facebook earlier this week to ask for prayers. “I would like to ask all my friends to please pray for my friend and church member Sherri Turner Cartwright. She had to have an emergency surgery after having a scheduled procedure that went bad. She’s in ICU and things are uncertain, so please join us in prayer for Sherri and believe God for her full recovery.” Ryan was the pastor that Brittany and Jax originally planned on having officiate their wedding. He was replaced after past transphobic and homophobic remarks resurfaced.
We know how much Jax and Brittany love Sherri and are sending her our well wishes for a swift recovery.

Dorinda Medley Slams Tinsley Mortimer As A “Liar” For Secretly Dating Scott Kluth
Dorinda Medley must have felt vindicated by Tinsley Mortimer’s sudden departure from the Real Housewives of New York to get serious with Scott Kluth. Of course Scott and Tinsley have history. But Tinsley denied having anything to do with Scott all season then left for Chicago so quickly that she missed Luann de Lesseps halloween party.
What does this have to do with Dorinda? Logically, nothing. But Dorinda has made Tinsley’s relationship with Scott a bargaining tool on authenticity. Her supposed lack of transparency triggered Dorinda to the point that she couldn’t even maintain a polite demeanor with Tinsley. But just because Tinsley is out of Dorinda’s physical reach, doesn’t mean that they can’t take jabs at each other thanks to Twitter.
The social media sparring picks up exactly where we left off during the cast dinner when Tinsley announced that she was leaving to be with Scott. Dorinda parrots the same arguments and tries to draw in other cast members.
First, Dorinda accused Tinsley of being dishonest. She tweeted, “liar lair @TinsleyMortimer.” Lying by omission really triggers Dorinda apparently and she was called out on it. How is Tinsley’s personal life something that she is obligated to share with Dorinda? Especially when privacy was a huge issue for Scott.

One fan said as much. She tweeted Dorinda that, “she’s not obligated to share who she’s dating. Worry about who you’re not dating. Maybe if your Holland Tunnel was getting some traffic you’d not be so concerned.”
Dorinda replied that, “we’re on a show where you have to be transparent then choose Don’t be on a REALITY SHOW!” Were producers this worried about Tinsley’s relationship? If it’s all about what’s best for the show, wouldn’t Tinsley have been fired? Her storyline was rather dull and reduced to being paraded in front of Dorinda to get a reaction out of her.

Dorinda also pointed out conflicting statements that Tinsley made about Scott. Then she brings Sonja Morgan into the argument, kind of like the way she demanded that Ramona Singer ignore Tinsley at the dinner. Dorinda tweeted,”wait last week, ‘I’m not seeing Scott’ confused @TinsleyMortimer so did you just lie the whole season? #confused @SongatMorgan aren’t you?”
Some fans of the show are team Dorinda and back up her concerns about Tinsley. One pointed out that Tinsley may have been hiding this relationship for a lot longer than anyone thought. She said, “TinsME will never own up to the 3 seasons of lies about Scott. Wish one of you would say why she’s been lying this entire time.” Dorinda replied, “correct #thankyou”

Dorinda needled in again, but was confused as to where Tinsley and Scott are in their relationship. They are not married yet but engaged. Dorinda, unaware of their status wrote, “wait ‘I’m not seeing Scott now married.'”
At this point in the season, Dorinda’s tagline sounds like a direct response to Tinsley and the conflict they had. One Tweet pointed out this connection. It read, “you saying, ‘I’m not always right, but I’m never wrong’ is making so much sense now queen.”

Dorinda acknowledged the sentiment and answered, “correct we come on the show to be transparent and honest if not we’re frauds!” Dorinda then contrasts herself with the supposed untruthful Tinsley. She said, “I’m truthful.”
At this point, Dorinda could leave well enough alone and be happy for Tinsley. She is off the show now and Dorinda can claim victory and move on. Will this kind of interaction continue on social media?

Dorinda Medley Slams Ramona Singer As “An Opportunist” Who Only Looks After Herself
How’s Dorinda Medley‘s relationship with Ramona Singer doing? Apparently not well, bitch! Things between the two have seemed mostly amicable this season on The Real Housewives of New York City, but that appears to have changed since filming wrapped.
During last week’s episode, Dorinda took to social media to relentlessly attack the RHONY OG for her narcissistic behavior.
The Twitter drama started over — surprise, surprise — the ladies’ treatment of Tinsley Mortimer. During one dinner, Dorinda shunned and openly mocked the It Girl for announcing she’d be moving to Chicago to be with her on-again boyfriend Scott Kluth. Fearing Dorinda’s wrath, Ramona originally decided to keep quiet on the subject, leaving Tins feeling shunned and deflated.
However, Dorinda took serious umbrage with Ramona backpedaling later in the episode and giving her nemesis a heartfelt send-off. “Watch @ramonasinger #pivet #pivet she wants an invitation,” she tweeted, accusing the Singer Stinger of only being nice because she wanted to score an invite to Tinsley‘s wedding. (Bear in mind, Dorinda seems to be misspelling the word “pivot” in the tweet and most that follow.)

The next thing that set Dorinda off was the scene planning Ramona‘s birthday party. Naturally, this involved the OG dragging her and Sonja Morgan out to a warehouse on Long Island for a front row seat to the Ramona Show. (“@SonjatMorgan @ramonasinger a fly by turned into a 5 hour trip! What a joke,” she wrote of the trek to Bethpage.)
First, the soon-to-be birthday girl shot down all of her cast mates’ ideas and suggestions. Then she refused to include Sonja‘s birthday in the planning. Generally, she made it all about her in classic Ramona fashion. Then, she forced the ‘Wives to pose for a social media picture with the owner before leaving. (Via confessional, Dorinda pointed out that the entire scene felt like one big promo for event planner Larry Scott’s business and honestly? She wasn’t wrong.)
RELATED: Elyse Slaine Says Dorinda Medley Isn’t A Bully
“@ramonasinger looks after ONLY ONE PERSON @ramonasinger,” she wrote watching the scene, followed by, “Let’s watch @ramonasinger [pivot] she is not a girls girl she’s an opportunist #WATCH.”
In her confessional, Ramona claimed her pals were just jealous because she has more friends. Spoiler: that seemed to strike yet another nerve in Dorinda. “We don’t gather people we have friends! Real friends @ramonasinger,” the RHONY vet fired off when Ramona bragged about inviting her 60 closest girlfriends to the party.

Another jab Dorinda threw at Ramona while live-tweeting? “True @ramonasinger ‘dumb dumb dumb’ let’s watch the [pivot] to covet herself! #bully.” And don’t forget the air quotes in the following: “[Pivot] ‘my friend’ @ramonasinger You did exactly who you are.”
I think Dorinda‘s anger towards Ramona can all be summed up in one final tweet. “Thank you for your support you truly showed who you are @ramonasinger #exactly [#pivot].” Hmm…who thinks the word “pivot” is going to be thrown around like wildfire at the reunion?

Faith Stowers Insists That Brittany Cartwright Made Racists Remarks About Her Appearance Despite Brittany’s Denial
If you’ve been living under a rock you may have missed that Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute have been fired from Vanderpump Rules due to their racist behavior towards former cast member Faith Stowers. Stassi and Kristen have since hired a team to combat the damage. They’re very concerned over their already lackluster public images. A business so pristine they also represent the ever-classy Brandi Glanville and Phaedra Parks! After watching reportedly pregnant Stassi rely on her 15-year old brother to defend her, it’s no surprise that remaining garbage cast Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright are trying to claim innocence in this mess. They would never bother apologizing and making nice with Faith the way Kristen has. Hell, even mostly uninvolved Lala Kent has made amends with Faith.
There is already a cry coming from viewers asking that Jax be fired. His womanizing, problematic homophobic past (which has ironicaly been called out by Stassi), and now claims that he has been blatantly racist towards 90-Day Fiance star Jay Smith aren’t boding well for our old pal Jason Cauchi. But what about his Kentucky fried bride? Well, she’s still claiming she had nothing to do with Faith’s mistreatment by the VPR cast. Interesting. Since Faith seems to be saying the exact opposite. And we know this woman carries a full purse of receipts.
People reported Faith’s side of the story where she describes her speaker phone call with Scheana Marie and Brittany in the background. Faith reported that she “couldn’t talk to [Brittany] through production.” Instead, Faith approached her through the speaker phone, “So I’m like ‘Brittany, hey girl! I’m trying to apologize to you. Can we please talk?’ But she… was still in that bad space so she’s like cussing and yelling, and calling me names and stuff.”
Timeout. Am I the only one who doesn’t think Faith owes Brittany any form of apology? Like sorry we were never friends and I slept with your man after he told me he was single? Really, what does Faith owe Brittany besides maybe like some female to female advice on how to drop Jax? Which really is a lost cause.
RELATED: Brittany Cartwright Says She “Had Nothing To Do” With Racist Treatment Of Faith Stowers When She Was On Vanderpump Rules
But, Faith persisted saying “I’m still trying to stay calm and communicate with her because this is still important for me to hear what she has to say. So I’m trying to talk to her and I can still see that she’s upset. And while she’s yelling, that’s when I heard [Brittany] say, ‘You a nappy-headed ho!’ ” And there we have it. Not only is this comment using Faith’s race and/or appearance as an insult, but it’s slut-shaming. Slut shaming from a woman who proudly announces relying on her titties for money back in the days of Hooters. Listen I’m here for that. Who doesn’t love wings or boobies? But, don’t turn around and tell another person what to do with their body. Mk? You’re married to the biggest slut-sack of all, hypocrite.
Faith claims Brittany was in a “fragile state” but said it still “does not excuse her from making a comment about my hair, that I love and I would never change because that’s part of my heritage.” YES GIRL. She continued, “She used that as an insult, which I just didn’t understand why she used that as an insult to me.” I know it’s not an excuse but I know why she did. Because she’s stupid, ignorant, and out of any tangible idea to stay mad at someone who did nothing to her.

The interview ended with Faith dropping an iconic housewives-sounding line, “You can call me a ho, but don’t call me a nappy-headed ho.” Please get this woman back on my screen, where she should have been this entire time.
