What do you expect when you join as Christine Quinn’s friend with an equally stacked closet?! Not to mention Christine had a feud going with almost every other cast member and needed someone in her corner! Chelsea did her own thing, though, and seemed able to establish herself just fine with the other women at the Oppenheim Group without issue. Everyone except Davina Potratz.
Chelsea and Davina clashed more than once during Season 5. First over a group tea party, and then again during a one-on-one coffee date. “There were things said off-camera and before we shot that really affected my mental state,” Chelsea told People.
“There were some microaggressions thrown out, and watching the show back, I realized that I was very much harboring that state of frustration.” Chelsea added, “You see me kind of escalate to a place of, maybe one could say, anger as a result.”
Season 5 of Selling Sunset treated viewers to the show’s first-ever reunion. Somehow, none of this was covered. Leave it to Adam DiVello I guess. During the filming, Chelsea and Davina seemed to clear the air, with Davina, in particular, seeming ready to move on.
“We don’t have to be super close friends to be cordial with one another,” Chelsea said. “I have the utmost respect for Davina and all of my castmates, truly, but I also believe that we can have different values and different core systems that may not align.” Will Season 6 give us more on that??
Chelsea mused that there were parts of her the other women simply don’t understand. “Maybe my background, maybe the fact that I was so strong and I did come across as having loads of opinions, but everything was purposeful.” Chelsea explained she “didn’t have a voice” when she was younger, so she was determined to come on the show as her “most authentic self.”
Chelsea doesn’t seem concerned about her future at the Oppenheim Group, either. Even though her ally Christine has kicked rocks. “What you didn’t see on camera is my relationship with a lot of the other girls had started to evolve very early on,” she said. “I have many relationships at The O Group, not just Christine.”

Jen Shah’s arrest in March of 2021 rocked the world of Housewives. Although fans had already been following Erika Jayne’s legal issues, Jen’s alleged crimes were directly against her. And her arrest played out on the second season premiere of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, providing viewers with additional fodder.
According to the NYPD, Jen’s federal charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering stem from long-running telemarketing scheme. They alleged that Jen, along with her assistant, Stuart Smith, conned “hundreds” of victims over 9 years. They were accused of selling lists of potential victims, the vast majority of them being elderly.
Naturally, fans were riveted by the news and wanted more information. And just like Erika, Jen had a Hulu documentary made about her troubles. Now Jen is finally speaking out about the doc, titled “The Housewife & the Shah Shocker.” As reported by Page Six, Jen recent spoke with YouTuber Adam Newell on his show, Up and Adam Live! As for whether or not she watched, Jen said,“I saw little tidbits here and there, right? But the documentary itself, I didn’t watch it because, first of all, they didn’t talk to me.”
She continued, “They didn’t bring on credible sources or any facts or evidence pertaining to what I’m going through.” She then dubbed the show “TV tabloid trash” and that she had “no interest” in watching. The doc was released in November 21st of 2021. Jen added, “That was my perception of it because I knew it wasn’t based in any facts. So I didn’t watch it at all and my family didn’t watch it.”
The documentary revolves around Jen’s arrest, along with the accusations that she ran a nationwide telemarketing scam. The charges have Jen facing a staggering 50 years in prison. Included in the film, there were interviews from Jen’s childhood classmate, along with her aunt. In addition, former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills hanger-on, Dana Wilkey, also participated. You might remember her from Erika’s documentary as well. Aside from those “close” to Jen, the doc also interviewed two alleged victims.
Jen’s original trial was scheduled for March but it is now set to take place in New York City on July 8th. Jen previously argued that the release of the Hulu doc violated her right to a fair trial. Her attorney told the judge, “given both the extensive viewership of Hulu nationwide and Ms. Shah’s public notoriety, a change in venue would not protect Ms. Shah’s rights, nor would alternative remedies such as a detailed voir dire or emphatic jury instructions.”
While Jen has pleaded not guilty to the charges against her, Stuart has since changed his plea to guilty. After being labeled as Jen’s accomplice, he accepted three charges against him. Those charges were listed as conspiracy to commit wire fraud, money laundering and obstructing an official proceeding.
During the season 2 RHOSLC reunion, Andy Cohen addressed Jen’s legal problems head on. She told him, “You’re stronger than you think you are. If you can get through the impact of the initial news or whatever you’re going through, you’re going to be OK.”

Former Season 20 winner of The Bachelor Lauren Bushnell (she was previously engaged to Bachelor Ben Higgins) surprised her husband, county singer Chris Lane, with news that they are expanding their family — sooner than expected!
The country star and his wife are expecting baby number two in late October, they confirmed to People. Their second child will join son Dutton Walker, who turns 1 this week.
“To be quite honest, I’ve never been more shocked in my entire life, because this was very much an unexpected surprise,” Lauren said, revealing that in her excitement to show Chris the positive pregnancy test earlier this year, she interrupted him as he was putting the baby down for a nap.
“I was just so in shock that I came running into Dutton’s room and flipped the light on really quick. And Chris was like, ‘What are you doing? I’m trying to get our child to go to sleep! Can you turn the light off?!’ And I was like, ‘I’m pregnant’ — just in shock. And he was equally shocked when I gave him that news.”
“When we found out, Dutton was almost 8 months old and I didn’t feel anything. I truly had no symptoms. I was actually more so taking a pregnancy test just to reconfirm that was not what was going on! And to my surprise and to Chris’ surprise, it was very much positive.”
“We had planned on having at least two kids,” Lauren continued, “so we’re very thankful that it was able to happen for us, even if it wasn’t necessarily on our exact timing. We’re both just incredibly excited.”
The pregnancy has brought the couple, who married in October 2019, “even closer, when I didn’t think that was possible,” said Chris, who will be playing fairs and festivals this summer. “We make a great team.”

Former two-time contestant on The Bachelor Becca Tilley is in love!
After keeping their relationship private for the past four years, Becca is now sharing details of her romance with singer Hayley Kiyoko — including the fact that Taylor Swift was one of the first people outside of their inner circle to know about them.
As reported in E! News, Becca was in Boston to see Hayley perform with Taylor and got to meet the superstar in her dressing room after the show.
Meeting Taylor “felt like talking to a friend,” the reality star said, and having the 11-time Grammy winner be one of the first people to know about them was pretty special. “I thought that was a really cool thing,” she said, “because obviously Taylor Swift stan forever.”
Becca, who appeared on both Chris Soules‘ and Ben Higgins‘ seasons of The Bachelor, publicly confirmed her relationship with Hayley in a video shared to Instagram on May 20. When asked to sum up last weekend in a Taylor song, Becca picked two tracks from Taylor’s album 1989, “Out of the Woods” and “Clean.” She explained why she chose the first track, “That whole song, like, really encompasses me, my experience and my relationship.”
Just hours before the video was posted, Hayley released the music video for her song “For the Girls,” featuring a queer version of The Bachelorette. Becca even made a cameo at the end of the video.
“Obviously we knew the video was happening and that was going to at least cause talk and speculation,” Becca said. “And in my mind I thought, ‘How do we do this reveal in the video and then not actually reveal our relationship?’ It only made sense to do it together.”
Still, Becca made it clear she was never hiding her relationship with Hayley. “For four years, it’s been our relationship, but I was telling someone the other day, like, Hayley and I were never secret,” she said. “Like, we were very much ourselves, we held hands in public, we kissed . . . If I was with Hayley, I introduced her, ‘This is my girlfriend, Hayley.’ I never was like, ‘This is my friend’ or ‘This is my best friend.’ I really made an effort to make sure there was that distinction between private and secret.”
Even though she knew their friends, family and fans would champion their relationship, Becca said there was still a part of her that was nervous to share their love with the world.
“There was this other part of me that had been fearing the reaction of people for four years,” she said. “There was that ‘Do I want to let that negativity enter our relationship?’ When I made the decision to go public with it, I thought, ‘I have this army of people who have my back no matter what and, like, the people who I care about most in the world are our supporters and they love us.’ So, I was prepared for anything and everything. I was not prepared for the amount of love and support we got.”
While speaking about the loving comments of support they’ve received, Becca teared up. “Hayley has really made me feel brave,” she continued, “and she was always like, ‘People are going to love you. People love you and they want to see you happy.’ ”
And she doesn’t feel the need to label her sexuality. “For me, it was never about my label,” Becca said. “Having the label and being able to name what they’ve experienced is really important for some people. That just wasn’t my experience . . . It’s not like, ‘This is my label. This is my sexuality.’ It’s more like, ‘Hey, I’m in love and I’m excited to share it with you all.’ ”
After looking unsuccessfully for love on two different seasons of The Bachelor, isn’t it nice to see Becca happy and in love? Now that they’ve gone public with their relationship, maybe we’ll see Becca and Hayley together on the Grammy Red Carpet one day soon!
