It's time to say "Bonjour!" to Emily in Paris once more. On Sept. 22, Netflix released a glimpse at the Darren Star-created comedy's highly anticipated third season, which stars Lily Collins as...Let’s face it: Below Deck Mediterranean hasn’t been the same since Hannah Ferrier left. Of course, the show is still thriving. We have Captain Sandy Yawn holding it down as the show’s mainstay, and they even got nominated for an Emmy after Hannah left. However, it’s hard not to miss Hannah running the interior with her sassy Australian attitude. It takes a certain je ne sais quoi to be a Below Deck chief stew, and there’s been a revolving door of them since Hannah’s exit. As season 7 of Below Deck Med starts to wind down, Hannah is talking about what she wants to see in the show’s future, and as Us Weekly reported, she’s ready to see a permanent chief stew that lives up to the title.
“It’s really hard because obviously they’ve changed the chief stew every season since I left,” Hannah explained. “And I feel like it’s such an important role on Below Deck to fill.”
Hannah’s right. The chief stew is at the center of it all. They lead the interior and ensure that the charter guests are always satisfied; more importantly, they’re at the center of the boat’s drama. The chief stew’s relationships with the chef, the captain, and the rest of the crew set the tone for the entire charter season. We saw it all those seasons with Kate Chastain on classic Below Deck and with Hannah for (almost) five seasons on Below Deck Med.
After Hannah’s exit, Katie Flood filled the chief stew role for season 6. In season 7, we’ve been introduced to Natasha Webb, but Hannah doesn’t seem too impressed with what she’s seen. In speaking with the outlet, Hannah acknowledged that there are two sides to the coin: you have to be an excellent chief stew, but you also have to be a great reality TV character. Unfortunately, Hannah thinks Below Deck’s recent casting choices have missed the mark on the latter qualification.
She explained, “Because you want somebody who is good at their job, but then at the end of the day, we kind of go like, ‘Oh it’s yachting.’ It’s still a reality show.” Hannah continued, “So you want someone who’s funny, who’s quick. Who is not afraid to take people on. Not afraid to school their stews.”
School the stews, flirt with a charter guest, challenge the captain a little bit—Hannah always understood the assignment. However, she doesn’t think Natasha is living up to the job and is hopeful that the show will land a permanent chief stew soon.
“I’m hoping they find one of those soon,” Hannah admitted. “Because the one that’s on there now doesn’t seem … She could be very good at her job but doesn’t sound like interesting television.”

I am thrilled to be recapping Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and breaking down all the delectable drama. During last week’s episode, after going to a private club, Lisa Rinna took Kathy Hilton back to Kyle Richards’ Aspen house in a sprinter van. Rinna texted Erika Jayne the action from the van and Kyle’s house.
During part of the text exchange, Rinna wrote that Kathy was “angry, screaming, throwing things, crying. I’m locked in my room,” Rinna stated. Then Kathy’s text to Rinna flashed on the screen. “Silence is golden. I am staying silent.” Yikes!
The action kicks off the next morning. Everyone is preparing to fly home, but Kathy won’t leave her room. She texted Kyle that she isn’t flying home with the group. Kyle knows that there will be blowback from this incident, and she is preparing to withstand the worst of it. Everyone seems to know about what happened at the club and afterward.
Slowly, the puzzle pieces come together. Crystal Kung Minkoff didn’t see anything happen, while Erika claimed that everyone witnessed Kathy’s anger. Sutton Stracke recalled Kathy trying to get everyone to be part of a conga line. It was a hard pass from her RHOBH co-stars, which seemed to enrage Kathy. Diana Jenkins said that she came out of the bathroom and saw Kathy “raging” and screaming at Kyle.
Kyle explained that Kathy came over and told her that she was angry and demanded that Kyle leave with her. After Kyle refused, Rinna took Kathy home. And she immediately regretted it. In the van, Rinna claimed that Kathy said, “I’m going to take down NBC, Bravo…I will take down this show singlehandedly. I will f*cking ruin you all.”
At Kyle’s house, Rinna was alone with Kathy. And things weren’t Hunky Dory. According to Rinna, Kathy threw her glasses on the floor, jumped up and down on them, and banged on walls. Rinna claimed that Kathy said that “she made Kyle.” Then Kathy allegedly stated, “I will destroy Kyle and her family if it is the last thing I ever do.”
Erika and Dorit Kemsley went to a chocolate shop to make a gift for Crystal for her Roaring 1920’s birthday soiree. The owner called them Lucy and Ethel, which delighted the ladies. But that will no doubt make Kyle more insecure about her friendship with Dorit.
Dorit and Erika discuss how Garcelle Beauvais went after Erika on her talk show The Real. Garcelle remarked that Erika should return the earrings to help the victims. Erika is “devastated” that Garcelle didn’t tell her about taping the show while they were in Aspen.
Dorit tells Erika that Kyle implied that if Dorit was friends with Erika, she was somehow supporting the crimes against the victims. Erika went off in her confessional. “And let me be very clear. Sometimes those ones that are really, you know, doing the best, are hiding the most,” she stated. Erika refuses to be “the whipping boy” for her RHOBH co-stars. Period.
Everything looks amazing at Crystal’s house (as usual.) Rinna feels like she has “PTSD” after enduring Kathy’s fury. So, when Kathy shows up like nothing happened, Rinna is thrown off. She remarks that her co-stars wouldn’t be pleased if they knew what Kathy said about them. Do tell, Rinna!
Rinna does her best to avoid Kathy and tells Crystal privately that she needs to leave because she is still shaken by Kathy’s behavior. The RHOBH ladies are shocked that Rinna left without saying goodbye. Crystal tells the group that she was still upset about Aspen.
Kathy acted cool in her confessional. She thinks that Rinna left because of her grief over losing her mother. “I don’t think she left because of what I shared with her in Aspen. I by no means got any indication that she was upset,” she stated. “But if I was the toe that broke the camel’s back, I apologize. I don’t want to upset anyone.” Sure, Kathy.
Erika and Sutton are starting to gel. Erika apologized for her angry outbursts on the plane ride home from Aspen. Sutton was shocked but is cautiously optimistic. They further bond at Crystal’s party, when Erika confesses that she drove to her former home with estranged husband Tom Girardi and looked at it from the street. She knows that she has to let her past go, and all the criticism that she is currently experiencing.
Erika also tells Garcelle that she wished that Garcelle would have given her a heads up about discussing her on TV. Garcelle apologizes.
Erika tells Diana that if the group is going to slam Erika for not being compassionate towards the victims, then other people also need to be held accountable for their behavior. She wants Kathy to admit to her behavior, apologize, and move along. Erika told Dorit that she thinks Rinna left because of what she experienced when she was alone with a fired-up Kathy. Dorit is worried that Kyle will suffer if the truth comes out.
TELL US: IS KATHY BEING HELD TO A DIFFERENT STANDARD THAN ERIKA? ARE YOU SURPRISED THAT RINNA LEFT THE PARTY AFTER SEEING KATHY? ARE YOU SHOCKED BY KATHY’S ALLEGED BEHAVIOR WHEN SHE WAS ALONE WITH RINNA?

Is blood thicker than water? Not in the case of Rick Leventhal and his adult daughter Veronica Leventhal. Kelly Dodd’s husband had a falling out with his daughter over not being invited to her wedding back in May. And many believed it was thanks to Kelly, who publicly feuded with Veronica on social media. Kelly even called her a “spoiled brat.”
But Rick is now claiming that his estrangement from Veronica has nothing to do with the former Real Housewives of Orange County star. As reported by Page Six, the couple appeared on an episode of Up And Adam! with host Adam Newell. The show can be found on YouTube.
According to Rick, he has been “butting heads for years” with his daughter. He elaborated, “There were things that she was doing and it didn’t start with Kelly, it started before Kelly.” Rick added, “I don’t want to air a bunch of family laundry. But just so you know, this didn’t start with Kelly.” It’s a little late for that but ok.
Kelly jumped in to defend Rick, saying that his friends have also seen “the way [Veronica] has treated him” in the past.
But Rick noted that when he started dating Kelly in 2019, they were both on the “same page,” saying Veronica “tried to manipulate to situation.” Said Rick, “It was like, ‘No, you can’t act like that.’ So, again, there were a lot of things, and all I ask for is an apology. That’s all I ask for.”
Rick previously defended Kelly during the whole wedding debacle back in May. He stated on social media, “My issues with my eldest daughter go back years. This isn’t about Kelly. If & when my daughter is ready to apologize and talk to me, we will work on repairing our relationship.” He concluded, “In the meantime she can live the rest of her life knowing she excluded me (& my wife) from her wedding. This is on my daughter, not Kelly.”
The former Fox new anchor also sent a separate statement to Page Six discussing he matter. The statement read, “My issues with my oldest daughter have been going on for many years. It’s unfortunate it’s come to this. I’m not going to detail all that’s transpired, but I will say the lines of communication were always open. She chose not to call and we believe didn’t invite me and Kelly to her wedding to hurt us. She’s a grown woman and will have to live with her decision. We wish her the best.”
