How does one say "put up or shut up" nicely? That's what Below Deck Sailing Yacht's Daisy Kelliher is seemingly trying to figure out as Ashley Marti continuously...Abhishek “Shake” Chatterjee seemed thirsty for the villain role on Season 2 of Love is Blind, and congrats to him for achieving his dreams, I guess. Shake was known behind the scenes for “Most Skilled At Making Women Cry” during the pod phase on the famous Netflix dating show. Something he and his eventual fiancé, Deepti Vempati had to overcome early in their relationship. A red flag so glaring you could see it through two walls. Bleak.
It was clear throughout the Love is Blind episodes that Deepti is a kind soul who only deserves the best. It’s just about all anyone could say about her, too. Including Shake’s own parents. This man really should apologize to his family for being in his family. Not only could he keep his misogynistic fat-phobic mouth shut about Deepti during the final reunion episode, but he had to drag the hostess, Vanessa Lachey into his slimy path too.
During the reunion Shake told Vanessa that she was the only person in the room he was physically attracted to. Vanessa’s husband, none other than Nick Lachey had some thoughts on that. He reminded Shake that, as a veterinarian, she should focus on treating animals, not act like them. He literally reminded the failed dater, “We’re human beings.”
Following the awkward moment, Shake took to Instagram to @ Nick. Page Six reported that Shake went deep into the archive in an attempt to put Nick on blast for his treatment of Jessica Simpson during their early 2000’s marriage. Back when they filmed the iconic Newlyweds.
Shake called Nick “sad” and then told viewers of his post to turn the “sound on” so they could hear Nick’s conversation with Jessica about opening a car door.
In the clip Jessica is getting into her car in a parking lot and she asks her then-husband, Nick, “You don’t wanna open the door for me?” Nick replies “No,” to her curtly before Jessica added, “At the beginning of our marriage, you were so eager to open the door for me.” Nick shot back, “That’s because at the beginning of our marriage I got laid.”
Not a great look, but is it worse than telling the world you want to put babies in someone who reminds you of your aunt?
TELL US – DOES SHAKE HAVE ANY RIGHT TO DRAG NICK FOR 20-YEAR-OLD FOOTAGE FROM HIS PREVIOUS MARRIAGE? WILL SHAKE GO DOWN IN HISTORY OR BE FORGOTTEN TOMORROW?

I’m starting to think that the longstanding feud between Teresa Giudice and brother Joe Gorga will never end. Have I been so naive to think there was ever a chance? It feels so obvious now. And don’t even get me started on Tre and Melissa Gorga. Those two have never liked each other and never will. But the relationship with Real Housewives of New Jersey’s first family is full of a slow simmer of resentment of spending years together on television. And it doesn’t look like it will be over anytime soon.
After a recent blow up at castmate Jennifer Aydin’s house, Teresa’s loyalty to Joe was once again called into question. Jennifer, who has been feuding with Melissa both on and off screen for awhile now, refused to take back calling the Gorgas crooks. And called Joe a “little b**ch.” Tre sat idly by while Melissa jumped up and charged Jennifer to defend her husband. Melissa and Joe got kicked out and Teresa seemed confused as to what the big fuss was. Loyalty to the family, that’s what!
As reported by Reality Blurb, Joe is once again stuck wondering why Teresa won’t stand up for him. On a recent appearance on RHONJ: After Show, Joe sounded off on the fight that is threatening his relationship with his sister.
Joe said, “I always have her back. It’s never reciprocated. If that was me and let’s say Margaret [Josephs] threw my sister out of the house… I would’ve never heard the end of it. My nieces would probably say nasty things about me. My sister would constantly remind me, over and over, ‘You didn’t stick up for me. You didn’t leave. You should’ve left the house. How dare you stay there when she kicked me out?’ I would’ve heard it a thousand different times.”
Joe also added that Tre would never let Jennifer get away with speaking like that to anyone else in their family. He explained, “If Jen called my father a crook, would my sister talk to her? Think about that. If she called my mom a crook, I wonder how she would react. If she said something about her daughters….”
He added, “When it comes to me, it’s like, with the entire family, for some reason, I’m the dishrag. They can sh*t on me, sh*t on me, if I say one thing, oh, it’s the end of the world. I feel sorry for myself, I really do, in so many ways.”
When it came to Melissa and Jennifer’s social media war, Joe has a theory on why Teresa didn’t take up for Melissa. He thinks Tre just loves the attention she gets from Jennifer. He claimed, “Teresa likes attention and Jen kisses her a**. And because maybe she kisses her a– so much, my sister looks the other way. But Teresa knows who she is. And she already proved it to me that she was telling me, ‘No, I chose her over you,’ in so many words.”
For her part, Melissa seems way less surprised. She knows Teresa demands loyalty from them but doesn’t return the favor. Melissa began, “We have to be soldiers and we get told every little minute, of like, ‘You better stick up for…’ I get the text, ‘You better do the right thing.’ But then as soon as her friend does it, not much gets said.”
Melissa went on, “We are very loyal and we are the ones who don’t talk about it all the time but we actually do it. I think there’s a big difference in saying, ‘I love my family. I’m loyal to my family’ … and actually being the one who does something about it.”
Melissa noted that there is “always a double standard” with Teresa, despite her brother “always acts in the right direction” and “backs her up.” But as for whether or not Tre would actually go through with dropping Jennifer for her family, Melissa doesn’t have an answer for that.
She speculated, “I feel like she was in a little bit of a desperate mode at that point. When Teresa cries and breaks down, she’s definitely in a spot where she’s confused and like lost. So she might have. But that’s just not who we are.” Melissa concluded, “We’re not going to tell someone not to be friends with someone.”
TELL US – DO YOU AGREE THAT THERE IS A DOUBLE STANDARD WITH TRE AND HER LOYALTY? SHOULD SHE HAVE STUCK UP FOR JOE AND MELISSA? WHY DO YOU THINK TRE IS SO ATTACHED TO JENNIFER?

The fight between Larsa Pippen and Adriana de Moura has officially spilled over onto social media. They went at it all season on Real Housewives of Miami. And the two don’t seem to be making amends anytime soon. Despite the tepid hug we saw at the reunion. Now Adriana’s bestie, Julia Lemigova, is getting involved to defend her friend.
Larsa showed some serious restraint in handling Adriana. With the exception of Alexia Echevarria’s bachelorette dinner. That dinner was off the rails and highly entertaining. But now that the season is done, Larsa has some choice words about Adriana on an episode of Behind The Velvet Rope With David Yontef. Larsa said of her nemesis, “Like I think she’s gotten, you know, some people as they age, they get bitter and mean? I feel like she has gotten bitter and mean. Like a grumpy old man, you know?”
A transcript of some of that interview made its way to The Real Housewives Of Miami’s official IG page. That’s when Julia entered the chat. In a screenshot captured by Comments By Bravo on Instagram, Julia commented, “I think she is projecting!” Then she tagged Larsa’s handle. Larsa was quick to shoot back and said, “stay out of it you weirdo no one asked u.” Short but effective, I guess! Someone else was creeping in those comments that were captured – Alexia’s son, Peter Rosello. He commented a simple, “You Know.” Which I guess means he is Team Larsa?
Either way, the fan comments on the post were split. One user said, “Larsa should not be so quick to point out the flaws in other people’s lives when she is not willing to look at the flaws in her own.” Another defended her and said, “Larsa is the breakout star of RHOM, you can’t tell me anything else.”
It’s not a complete surprise that Julia is upping her game on Larsa. During one of her confessionals on RHOM, Larsa said, “I just feel like Julia’s a follower, and she’s just saying whatever Adriana’s put her up to.” Julia shot back in an interview with Bravo’s The Daily Dish.
Julia revealed, “As we were filming now, my confidence grew, and I needed to really see for myself how Larsa is if she’s kind of a true person or sometimes maybe not so much.” She added, “You know, you can have some friends in your life who are like fair-weather friends, and I just felt that I had enough of some kind of hypocritical interactions with her.”
Whew. So after a drama filled season, we are getting even more drama from this group. These RHOM ladies really know how to give the people what they want. Keep it coming!

No rest for the wicked! Or for the Bravoholic, apparently. Peacock blessed us by dropping three episodes the day Below Deck Down Under premiered. And here we are at the third and final act of the triple feature. A trilogy that might as well be known as “The Saga of Benny Crawley,” if the closing moments of the episode are to be believed. Though there’s always the possibility that production is pulling a bait and switch on us. But, of course, only time will tell. Let’s back up a bit first, though. To the moment where Benny’s denouncing the very idea of taking orders during the crew’s first night out.
What started as Benny actually thanking Jamie Sayed for his patience during the first charter somehow took a left turn. Because now the bosun and deckhand are caught in a rather tense exchange over respect, compliance and following orders. It’s obviously that Benny has chafed under Jamie’s more regimented management style. And he’s perceptive enough to recognize the bosun’s past experience as a police officer, which he calls out at the table. Benny doesn’t need a drill sergeant. In his own words, he needs “positive reinforcement” and “mutual respect.” The pair shake hands, but this surely won’t be the end of it between them.
Back on the boat, the crew is ready to really let loose. And that usually only means one thing: a party in the hot tub. Jamie happily takes the opportunity to turn his flirting with Magda Ziomeck up another notch. And the two spend most of their time in the hot tub dancing — letting Magda’s inner Latina out and getting a little too touchy-feely for Tumi Mhlongo‘s liking. So when Magda doesn’t say anything, she takes it upon herself to inform Jamie that the third stew has a very real boyfriend back in Poland.
This is news the bosun certainly love hearing. But he makes the situation that much worse by going on a rant about how the only girl he’s attracted to on the boat isn’t available. And in the process rather rudely puts down Tumi and Brittini Burton, both of whom happen to be single. And while his intent to not do anything inappropriate may be in the right place, his verbal rampage certainly ends the night on a dour note.
The next morning, the crew only had a few hours to prepare for charter number two. And Captain Jason Chambers is appalled to discover Thalassa has been thrashed during the hard-partying night prior. Everything’s a complete mess and yet no one seems to be that bothered by it. In fact, Magda is literally doing a full yoga routine amid the empty bottles and beer cans. And everyone else seems to be taking their sweet time getting the morning into gear. So, the captain decides some motivation is in order and sets off a general alarm, sending the entire crew rushing to the main deck aft. Where they promptly receive a stern talking to like naughty school kids from Captain Jason about picking up after themselves. And keeping their radios with them at all times. Message received, Cap.
While the rest of the crew cleans, Captain Jason holds a preference sheet meeting with Jamie, Aesha Scott and Chef Ryan McKeown. The next round of charter guests are a far cry from a squad of TikTok-loving millennials. No, the co-primaries for the second charter are Australian rock guitarist Randall Waller and his wife Suzie. And they’re bringing along an entourage that’s much more R-rated than the last group. Including a married pair of exotic dancers who were Australia’s reigning male and female stripper of the year in 2020. And also the female director of a Melbourne adult entertainment agency. So expect lots of sex, nudity and rock ‘n’ roll to go along with the vow renewal and pirate-themed party the guests have requested for this charter.
However, the struggles begin even before the guests arrive. Benny, who can’t seem to do any part of his job description calmly or quietly, struggles with the grunting of He-Man, if not the strength, to tie the tender to the port side of the yacht. All while Jamie, Brittini and Culver Bradbury laugh at his latest over-the-top display from on deck. In the interior, Aesha and Ryan once again can’t see eye to eye on how a basic lunch service should work. And by the time the guests’ water taxi is pulling up alongside the boat, half the crew aren’t even ready for their arrival.
To say this group of rock stars and strippers arrive ready to party is…and understatement. And while Chef Ryan controls the timing of lunch by BBQing chicken skewers in front of the guests, Captain Jason gets in on the hazing of Benny, purposely drenching the deckhand with a wave out on the bow. But when the guests decide to go snorkeling after lunch, both Benny and Magda find themselves in hot water. The former for loudly feeding into the guests’ rather NSFW banter as he’s blowing up water toys. And the latter for wearing a bikini bottom when Captain Jason invites her to join the guests on their underwater excursion. Never mind that stews don’t have swim shorts as part of their uniform. Or that it wasn’t Magda was specifically given the chance to go snorkeling. By the captain himself. But OK…
Benny misses Jamie‘s radio call about an impromptu deck crew meeting. Because he’s getting ready in the bathroom after being sprayed (again) with a hose by Captain Jason. And unsurprisingly, Chef Ryan takes umbrage with the guests telling Aesha they’d like dinner “around 8-sh.” He starts plating his Singaporean street noodles at precisely 8:03 p.m. Without asking Aesha if the guests are even ready. And then throws a tantrum when only two of them have slathered themselves with body oil and made their way to the lounge. This ongoing problem seems fixable. If the chef would put his ego aside, practice some rudimentary communication and get it through his head that he’s there to serve the guests. But judging by what we’ve seen so far, that seems…highly unlikely.
The meal inadvertently ends up being a perfect choice, because it turns out the primary proposed to his wife in Singapore, at the top of the famous Marina Bay Sands Hotel. And that leads right into the surprise the crew has cooked up on the sun deck: a vow renewal ceremony to celebrate Randall and Suzie’s 21st anniversary. Captain Jason officiates the ceremony, referencing Thalassa, the ancient Greek goddess of the sea. The entire crew gets in their feelings about falling in love and getting married. And the night ends on a sweetly perfect note. For the guests, at least…
Benny has spent the whole day feeling bullied and picked on. By Captain Jason in particular, not to mention the rest of his deck team. So he’s already feeling a bit down in the dumps as he goes to bed. And that’s when, at 1:30 in the morning, his toilet decides to start overflowing. Sending sewage water seeping into his cabin. Fecal water is the last straw for the deckhand. And, after sloshing through his room to hurriedly put on clothes, he knocks on the captain’s door. Benny’s officially over this experience. He’s ready to quit.

The post Below Deck Down Under Recap: Thunder From Down Under appeared first on Reality Tea.
Dancing With the Stars pro Gleb Savchenko could be known as the Housewives ballroom whisperer. Gleb danced with Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Erika Jayne during Season 24 of DWTS.
RHOBH alum Lisa Vanderpump waltzed with Gleb during Season 16 of the series. Lisa admitted that she had an “emotional affair” with her “gorgeous” partner. No word on if Lisa fainted because of Gleb’s hotness.
Real Housewives of New York star Luann de Lesseps has expressed interest in doing DWTS, and she already has a pro picked out. “I’d personally want to dance with Gleb Savchenko, because he’s tall and he knows how to cha-cha-cha,” she stated.
In November of 2020, People reported that Gleb and his wife, fellow dancer Elena Samodanova, were splitting up. Gleb shared the news on his Instagram. “It is with a heavy heart that I tell you my wife and I are parting ways after 14 years of marriage,” Gleb wrote. “We still intend to co-parent our wonderful children together who we love so dearly, and we will strive to continue to be the best parents that we can to them.”
But the split turned messy. On November 7, 2020, Gleb issued a statement to People, shutting down rumors that he was romantically involved with his DWTS dance partner, and Selling Sunset star, Chrishell Stause. In fact, Chrishell found love with his fellow pro, Keo Motsepe.
In December of 2020, Gleb told Entertainment Tonight that he never cheated on his wife, and alleged that it was Elena who cheated on him.
The couple’s divorce was finalized on October 22, 2021, per US Weekly. The couple agreed to joint legal and physical custody of their two daughters.
According to People, Elena has requested a change to the custody agreement because of Gleb’s “long work hours and travels” for the upcoming year. In court documents filed on February 28, 2022, Elena alleged that Gleb “refused to amend the schedule amicably.” Elena is asking for primary custody of both of their daughters, 11-year-old Olivia, and 4-year-old Zlata.
“I agreed to alternate parenting time every five days. Soon after the judgment was signed, [Savchenko]’s schedule changed and he was not available to take care of our daughters,” Elena claimed. “Due to [Savchenko]’s long work hours and travels in 2022, he is unable to exercise custody pursuant to current parenting plan.”
Elena also asked that her daughters live with her on every weekday and alternating weekends when Gleb is present in Los Angeles for more than one day. “I have facilitated visits when [Savchenko] is in Los Angeles and has the time to see our children as his schedule allows,” Elena stated in the legal documents. “I will continue to do so.”
A hearing has been scheduled for March 21, 2022. Gleb’s attorneys did not reply to People’s request for comment.
In December of 2021, Elena made a request for both full-time custody as well as child support from the DWTS pro, per People. She said that Gleb’s schedule was the reason for the request. The custody plan was a 50/50 split. Every five days, each parent would switch custody of the kids.
Gleb has been part of the DWTS: Live tour, which is set to wrap on March 27, 2022.
He issued a statement in January of 2022 about the custody issues, per People. “Unfortunately, there is misinformation being spread about me. While I was hopeful to keep our divorce amicable and private for the sake of my children, I feel I must now respond to set the record straight,” Gleb said.
The dance pro continued, “To clarify, my DWTS tour schedule runs from January 3rd to March 27th, and I have one day off during each week. Due to our 50/50 custody split, that means there are 5 weeks where I would have allocated time with my children,” he said. “I will be flying home one day each week to be with my kids. Furthermore, I have no plans to teach in Mexico, and no plans to participate as a judge in DWTS Sweden. Those statements are categorically false,” Gleb added.
Elena fired back with her own statement. “I’m unsure why my ex-husband is deciding to speak on any of this and comment on our personal lives in such a public way. Protecting my children and their well-being has been my only concern,” Elena stated.
She added, “As their mother, I am available to care for them and should while Gleb is on the road working. Bottom line. End of discussion.”

By now we have all heard the news of Katie Maloney and Tom Schwartz’s big split. The Vanderpump Rules couple, who have been together for 12 years, shocked fans with the announcement. Tom has come out and said that he takes full responsibility for the break up. And Katie is now sharing that the decision to break up was months in the making.
As reported by Page Six, Katie opened up about the break down of their marriage. On a recent episode of her podcast, You’re Going To Love Me, Katie admitted just how hard it was. She began, “I felt disconnected. I felt like I was drifting away further and further away.” She tearfully continued, “I felt like I was drifting and I couldn’t stop it. It was the hardest hardest thing to do. The hardest thing to tell him, because I knew it was gonna crush him.”
But Katie cleared up that it wasn’t a quick decision for her. And also revealed that the two have been separated for a little over a month. Said Katie, “I know [for] some people [it] may seem like a shock or it may seem like an abrupt thing. But for us it’s not like we just decided this this week or yesterday or the day before. It’s been emotional for sure, but it’s also been in ways peaceful and loving and the transition so far is going really well.”
Katie then disclosed, “We do still live together in our house, and we’re just trying to navigate these steps together and really work on becoming friends in that sense, and obviously we have the same friends and trying to hang out in a group together going through this and not making it awkward for anyone and not make anyone choose sides – that’s been important to us.”
Regarding her reasoning for the split, Katie explained that she wanted to prioritize herself and her happiness. And that they have no “animosity” or “resentment” towards one another. Katie revealed, “There wasn’t some kind of crazy incident that happened, there wasn’t some crazy fight that resulted in this.”
She concluded, “The best and only way I can describe it is just like waking up inside of my life and having this voice that just became louder and louder and just events in my life and our relationship coming into focus and feeling the weight of them on me.”
