Lisa Rinna, by her own accounts, has a big mouth. Some might say both figuratively and literally. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star is definitely no wallflower, and the pot is never still when she is around. Rinna certainly isn’t in danger of losing her diamond, seeing as she has no issue exposing her inner-most thoughts and feelings – and sometimes body parts.
Other Lisa is also transparent when it comes to politics. We got a glimpse of Lisa’s feisty side during a dramatic dinner party. She clutched her pearls as Camille Donatucci Grammer Meyer defended a Supreme Court nominee accused of sexual misconduct. Lisa is also quite vocal on social media. A supporter of LGBTQIA, Black Lives Matter, and most recently, bringing awareness to the murder of George Floyd. Now it appears Lisa is being silenced. People who don’t agree with her have complained to QVC, where she holds a successful clothing brand. According to Rinna, QVC allegedly told her to shut the politics down if she wants to keep her wallet fat.
Should your employer have a say in what you post on social media? Should you have to keep your personal views in check for the sake of good business? Looks like Rinna is about to find out. It’s great when a celebrity with a huge following shows support for positive change. Many famous people use their platforms to promote a subject that might otherwise be met with… controversy. Lisa is currently learning that exposing your true feelings might cancel your salary. Allegedly.
The Blast shared a recent situation Rinna is experiencing with her fashion line at QVC. She explained, “I am sad to report. It would now seem I can’t use my platform to inform or question or say how I feel politically because the Karen’s have bombarded QVC begging them to fire me and saying they will no longer buy my clothes.” If you don’t know, a “Karen” is loosely described as a common stereotype of a possibly racist white woman who uses privilege to demand her own way at the expense of others.
Lisa added, “It is a shame that I must be muzzled in order to support my family but that is just what it is. Remember you know how I feel. Use your voice and vote.” Rinna is not out on Insta kicking puppies, she is simply against intolerance. Is QVC caving to Karens? She included, “I will be on the right side of history and in the end THAT IS WHAT MATTERS MOST.”
Strange that it’s happening now though. This is certainly not Lisa’s first time handling social media squabbles. She has irritated the fragile Justin Bieber with her choreography. She has always joked about her bag of pills. She has certainly voiced more than her share of off color humor. Why have her recent views caused such an upset in the Karen Community? To be clear, Lisa has been posting positive messages to end discrimination.
What do you think, should Lisa have to keep her opinions on the down-low for the sake of her job? Is it within the rights of an employer to threaten give an ultimatum over personal social media posts? And finally, am I about to be struck by lightning because I don’t think Rinna did anything wrong?
TELL US- DO YOU AGREE WITH QVC? SHOULD LISA HAVE TO STOP SHARING HER PERSONAL VIEWS ON SOCIAL MEDIA? SHOULD QVC IGNORE THE KARENS?

Leah McSweeney may be new to Real Housewives of New York, but she can certainly dish out the drama. Leah, who had been sober for a while, went to Ramona Singer’s Hamptons home, and decided to drink. The result? Leah, Sonja Morgan, and Tinsley Mortimer ended up topless, and very tipsy, in the pool. A naked Leah also hurled Ramona’s pool-side tiki torches like javelins. It was impressive!
When Ramona invited the RHONY gang to Newport, Rhode Island for a girls’ trip, Leah begged to invite her sister, Sarah McSweeney. When Ramona tried to withdraw the invitation, a drunken Leah went on a rampage until Ramona relented.
In March of 2020, Ramona discussed how she became a surrogate mother to Leah during the season. “It was my idea to have everyone at my home in the Hamptons right in the beginning, so we could all get to know the new girl Leah and bond together,” Ramona said. What could possibly go wrong?
“With Leah, she gets a little out of control … and I end up being like her mother. I basically adopted her as my surrogate daughter and because of that I hold her to another standard, which is very high,” Ramona stated.
US Weekly reported that Leah threw some shade at Ramona during an interview on the Getting Real With the Housewives podcast. “Ramona is like the evil stepmother that you don’t have,” Leah explained. “I mean, that’s how I’m feeling now. Look, I’m forgiving. I can forgive, I can move on all that,” Leah shared.
“But there are instances where I’m watching this and I’m like, you know, there’s a lot of me owning up to s—t and apologizing for s—t, but not so much on the other side and some things.” Leah added, “And I think on the reunion, that’s all gonna have to be addressed. … Get ready everybody [for the reunion]. ‘Cause I’m so ready for it. And I cannot wait.” I hope Leah isn’t waiting for an actual apology from Ramona at the reunion.
Leah wasn’t thrilled that Ramona criticized her drinking during the trip to Rhode Island. “Why was Ramona on my case so much? I don’t know! The RHONY newbie stated. “People were like, ‘Oh my God, I can’t believe Ramona’s mothering.’ … We’re seeing the soft side of Ramona. So, you know, I think people were shocked to see that, [but] I don’t think that this is out of character for her. No.”
Leah admitted that her behavior in Newport was wild. She remarked, “What’s completely unacceptable to her is much different than what’s unacceptable to me. Now was my behavior, like, wonderful? And like, am I proud of being completely drunk and doing somersaults and crying and screaming in Rhode Island? No.”
“But at the same time, I can get over that easier rather than someone like Ramona fat-shaming Sonja [Morgan] or, you know, saying that her brand sucks or whatever. … I’m just, like, a crazy person,” Leah explained.
Even though Leah’s RHONY tagline says she “stings like a bitch,” Leah may want to watch out for that infamous Singer stinger at the reunion.

I miss the simple days when Jessica Batten being 34 while Mark Cuevas was 24 was such a big issue. As Love is Blind fans know, Jessica and Mark didn’t make it down the aisle, which surprised no one since Jessica never seemed to give Mark a chance and was still hung up on [Matt] Barnett.
Apparently, after the show, Mark started dating LC Chamblin, who was also on Love is Blind. She was one of the other girls who was interested in Barnett, but she didn’t get engaged to any of the other guys, so we never saw her again. And, now, there are rumors that Mark cheated on LC, which is quite the risk considering the global pandemic going on right now. Oh, and apparently he may have cheated on Jessica too.
LC herself A “source” told Entertainment Tonight, “It was never serious, but LC saw photos of him with another woman while on a trip and felt betrayed.” She found out about this while she was on Reddit, a tough place to be for anyone who is a reality TV star. She wrote in the thread, “I definitely just broke it off with mark so I really do appreciate you posting this and saving me the energy on dating another liar.”
LC told Entertainment Tonight, “Mark and I were casually dating, but talked about remaining exclusive, especially because of COVID-19, but that’s over now.” Again, who cheats during a pandemic? Not that cheating is a good thing regardless, but it’s especially dangerous these days. LC also said, “The main thing I learned from the show and past relationships is that I deserve to be treated like a priority, and not an option.”
Mark shared his take, saying, “I enjoyed spending time with LC for a few weeks, but at no point were we in an exclusive relationship, as LC confirmed herself.” He added, “I wish her the absolute best.”
An Instagram user claimed, “Mark was sleeping with MULTIPLE women at the studio he trained at DURING the show. Maybe show those interviews with his workers next time @Netflix.” So, this is when he was “engaged” to Jessica. VERY INTERESTING.
In response, Jessica wrote, “Wow. News to me. I only know about one,” which was shared by Comments by Celebs. Apparently, Mark isn’t as innocent as he seemed.

When Phaedra Parks joined Real Housewives of Atlanta, she was working as a lawyer. Fans saw her expand her horizons by getting into the funeral business.
Recently, she helped direct the funeral for Rayshard Brooks, who was was shot and killed by police in a Wendy’s parking lot on June 12.
Phaedra opened up about helping with the funeral during a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, saying, “That was a very heavy moment, but I was happy to serve the family, happy to have moments with his beautiful wife, his beautiful children and, just to be present. It’s just very heartbreaking to know there are now four young children that are… without their dad.”
Phaedra reflected, “It was unbelievable how much support there was from the community. So just to see everyone come together, unify in our city, which is the Mecca of the civil rights movement. It was beautiful.” She added, “So I was just happy I was able to serve the family and to be of service at the moment.”

Even though Colt Johnson and Larissa Dos Santos Lima haven’t been a couple for a long time at this point, they somehow got cast on 90 Day Fiance Happily Ever After. That means, we get to see more of Colt’s mom, Debbie Johnson, and their cats. But, weirdly enough, we also get to see Colt’s new girlfriend, Jess Caroline. He is dating yet another Brazilian woman, who may or may not be interested in him for the camera time and a shot at a visa.
During the most recent episode, Colt visited Jess in Chicago and met some of her friends, who also happen to be Brazilian. Jess made some bothersome comments about her own culture. She generalized that all Brazilian women love sex and like to have it on the first date. There’s nothing wrong with either of those things, but it’s not quite fair to make a sweeping statement about an entire group of people.
The Instagram fan account 90dayfiancetoday shared a screenshot from an Instagram Story that Jess shared. She began, “Open letter to all Brazilian women: Dear Brazilians, I want you to know that I read/listen to your messages. I would like to make a formal apology to all Brazilian women I offended with my generalized speech on the episodes.”
Jess said, “I recognize how problematic my statement was and by any means, I [didn’t mean] to add to the already hypersexualized stereotype of the Brazilian women around the world. I apologize for the way I expressed myself. I meant to give a personal opinion, on my amateur English I ended up generalizing and I see how jeopardizing that is.
She wrote, Unfortunately, I can’t go back on what was said, now I can only be transparent to all of you, say that I’m so sorry for all the baggage this brings and I’m holding myself accountable for what I said.”
Jess concluded, “Deconstruction of sexism is a daily task, and instead of taking this as a loss, I’m taking it as a learning opportunity,” she concluded. “I have my messages open so we can talk about this, I hope to learn more and listen to what you have to say. My humble apologies, Jess.”

We all know how much Ramona Singer loves to share her life on Instagram and remind us all of how “ageless” she looks. She quarantined in Boca Raton, Florida with her daughter Avery Singer and ex-husband Mario Singer. She documented the meals they made, the exercises they did, the outfits they dressed up in, just having the most fun in quarantine.
Now, she’s back in New York City and the reported coronavirus cases are surging in Florida. Did she quarantine for 14 days just to be cautious? Not according to Instagram. And, now, her Real Housewives of New York co-star Leah McSweeney is calling her out for her behavior. Ramona has bragged a million times over about how she’s a mother figure to Leah, but who’s mothering who now, Ramona?
The Instagram account RealHousewivesFranchise shared a video of Leah’s rant that she originally posted on her Instagram Story. She doesn’t say Ramona’s name in it, but it is just so obvious who’s she’s talking about since Ramona is her only castmate who went to Florida during the coronavirus pandemic.
Leah said, “I am so disgusted by some of my castmates and their families who spent the entire f*cking quarantine in Florida, living it up, showing everybody how they’re living it up.”
The New Housewife continued, “Then, Florida, of course, the cases surge. They f*cking come back to New York and are out like nothing, not quarantining, not taking this shit seriously, and basically laughing in all of our faces. F*ck you, guys.” And by “f*ck you, guys” I feel like she means “Fuck you, Ramona and Avery” since we all know she has no qualms about shading Avery in an Instagram Story.
Who can forget that recent Instagram feud involving Leah, Leah’s sister Sarah McSweeney, Ramona, and Avery? I’m gonna need someone from the show to give a confirmation that Ramona was flirting with some guys during the cast trip with that poop stain on her pants.
I’m also gonna need an explanation about why Leah and Ramona seem to hate each other at this time. It seems like such a departure from their twisted faux mother/daughter saga that we’ve witnessed all season long.

We all know that Eva Marcille got fired from Real Housewives of Atlanta “left” Real Housewives of Atlanta “on her own to focus on other opportunities.” Meanwhile, NeNe Leakes, her rep, and the Bravo network said she’s not fired, but she’s always welcome to be on the show. So, why hasn’t she signed a contract? Most likely, she just wants more money or more screen time. Remember the beginning of the season when NeNe was nowhere to be found?
Porsha Williams happily accepted her offer letter for the next season. It’s unclear where Tanya Sam, Marlo Hampton, and Cynthia Bailey stand, but it doesn’t really add up that Cynthia is basically only in the ATL film when she spends all of her time in Los Angeles with her family. Plus, she has the most boring storylines. Why does she have a peach when most of us use her scenes as the perfect time to take a bathroom break? I’m not looking forward to watching a season centered around Cynthia’s wedding events.
In a recent interview, Kandi Burruss confirmed, “I got my letter if that’s what you asking me.” That’s not a surprise to anyone, considering all the spin-off shows Kandi gets and all of the blatant support she has from the network.
Then, Kandi joked, “I know how much people gonna be mad because they all ‘She don’t need to be on it. She boring.’ Well, you have to see me again.” She’s not totally wrong about all that, but at least she has a sense of humor about it.
Then, she was asked about Kenya Moore taking Real Housewives of Atlanta out of her Instagram bio. Usually, that’s a sign that a Housewife got the boot. However, Kandi shared, “She did get her letter, so I don’t know.”
Maybe, Kenya just wanted some attention or a salary bump if the network and the production company saw how upset people would be if she got cut from the series. Kenya is one smart cookie when it comes to churning out random drama.
TELL US- ARE YOU HAPPY KANDI AND KENYA WILL BE BACK NEXT SEASON ALONG WITH PORSHA? DO YOU WANT NENE AND CYNTHIA TO RETURN? SHOULD TANYA AND MARLO GET PEACHES THIS TIME AROUND?
