The Bachelor’s Gabi Elnicki Is Deleting Nasty Instagram Comments Following Zach Shallcross Fantasy Suite Drama; Says “I Don’t Need Negativity”

It must be super embarrassing to share an intimate moment with your boyfriend, only to have him tell the world about it on national TV. Gabi Elnicki is dealing with the backlash following her Fantasy Suite date with Bachelor star Zach Shallcross.

The Vermont native (did you know they make maple syrup there?) had shared some photos on Instagram prior to Monday’s episode. But as Us Weekly reported, Gabi took steps to stop the negative comments that started after the show aired.

When a follower called her out for deleting mean comments, Gabi readily admitted it. “Yes, I am [deleting comments]. Because I don’t need negativity and hate on my page. It’s so unnecessary and unkind. There is NO reason to put others down, get off my page if you don’t like me.”

After admitting it, messages of support flooded her comments. The follower who originally called her out assured Gabi she meant no harm, writing, “I like you queen just here for the drama.” Someone else said, “Preach sweetie don’t let ignorance bother you!” Another poster urged, “Screw the haters.”

Even Bachelor Nation darling Wells Adams and his wife, Modern Family alum Sarah Hyland, felt compelled to comment on the 10-car pileup Zach made of Fantasy Suites on Monday’s show.

At the beginning of Fantasy Suite Week — which Zach so elegantly referred to as “Sex Week” — the Bachelor and his three remaining girlfriends arrived in Thailand. Everyone was looking forward to the overnight dates, where they would have uninterrupted time, away from the cameras. All of the three remaining ladies (Ariel Frenkel, Kaity Biggar, and Gabi) were looking forward to having some “sexy time” with Zach, hoping it would deepen their relationships.

But Zach quickly put the kibosh on any fantasies being fulfilled in said suites. He stunned host Jesse Palmer with the vow that there would be “No sex of any kind [in the] Fantasy Suites.” The Nation cringed, suspecting that the California native’s oath of abstinence would not go well. And it didn’t. In Zach’s own words, it ended up biting him “in the ass.”

Ariel had the first date, and she did seem disappointed when she heard Zach’s “no sex” rule. But she decided to make the best of it, predicting their physical chemistry would still make things “hot and steamy.”

The second date was with Gabi. At dinner that evening, Zach told her about his vow not to be physical with any of the women on the overnight dates.

“Did I think I was going to get engaged to somebody that I’ve never had sex with? Probably not,” Gabi laughed. “But we’re gonna work on it later.” Even though she wasn’t happy, she was relieved that her boyfriend wasn’t “test driving” either of the other women. And after promising not to seduce him, off they went to their private room.

Gabi told the camera, in a bit of foreshadowing, “Zach says he’s not having sex, but I don’t know. Maybe he will.” And he did. That vow didn’t last very long.

The next morning, a guilt-ridden Zach confessed to Jesse that he and Gabi had “agreed . . . to have sex together, and it was very special.” Zach felt terrible about breaking his word and worried the other women would be hurt that he had said one thing and done another. Though he had “zero regret” about what happened with Gabi, he felt compelled to “be honest” with the other women. Ugh. If he was worried about hurting the other women, why on Earth would he do that?!

After first telling Gabi he was going to confess their intimate moment to the other women, Zach left for his Apology Tour. We didn’t see how Ariel took the news (or if Zach even told her), but Kaity was crushed. Even though she was feeling “distant and confused,” Kaity joined Zach in the not-such-a-Fantasy Suite. I don’t think things were as hot and steamy as Kaity would have hoped. I’m imagining more of a tense and tearful scenario. I can’t believe she even continued with the date. He’s just so slimy.

At the Rose Ceremony, Gabi and Kaity received roses, and Ariel went home. Consider yourself lucky, Ariel! You deserve so much better than Clayton Echard 2.0.

While Zach escorted Ariel to her Van of Rejection, Kaity turned to Gabi and whispered, “I know you were the only one.” Gabi turned away at first, but then said, “I feel like I’m wearing an ‘A’ on my chest. [Bleeping] Scarlet Letter over here.”

In a confessional interview, Gabi admitted to having mixed feelings. Even though she was one of the final two women, “I thought I’d be a lot happier.” Something that should have been private was no longer private, and her trust was broken. And worst of all, Zach’s cleared conscience came at the expense of Gabi’s heart, and Gabi had no say in the matter. If he doesn’t pick Gabi in the end, it will seem like he just used her and cast her aside. I hope that doesn’t happen.

Remember that “drama-free” season Zach promised us? What in the world was he thinking?

Vanderpump Rules Cast Questioned Tom Sandoval And Raquel Leviss’ Relationship After They Were Spotted Together Months Ago

Too little said too late. Vanderpump Rules cast members grew suspicious of Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss after an interaction at The Abbey in West Hollywood in August 2022. The duo was getting a little too close for comfort.

And who did the sleuthing? According to Page Six, it was James Kennedy’s girlfriend Ally Lewber. Wow. Never underestimate the capabilities of the girls James picks. Look at how Raquel surprised us all.

A source told Page Six that, “James’ girlfriend, Ally, saw Tom and Raquel at The Abbey dancing alone together and thought it was weird.”

They disengaged once eyes were on them. Meredith Marks style. The source added, “When they realized they’d been spotted looking cozy, Tom and Raquel appeared to act a little strange like they were caught doing something bad.”

In the mid-season VPR trailer, Lala Kent confronted Tom. “She saw the both of you at The Abbey together,” Lala said. She was apparently referencing the details that Ally shared.

Apparently, Tom and Raquel were in the company of a “group of people.” But their interactions “seemed off.” It was also suspicious that Tom’s ex-girlfriend, Ariana Madix, was not there.

“The cast began speculating that something weird was happening then, and Ally was the first to call it out,” the source added. “But Raquel and Tom were both adamantly denying it at the time.”

Bravo cameras failed to catch the canoodling. Well played.

Ally did not initially mention what she saw while filming,” the source continued. “She confided in other cast members off-camera simply because she was very much bothered by Tom and Raquel’s interaction.”

The insider explained, “Over the past couple months, the girls have been thinking things weren’t adding up.” Well, it’s all crystal clear now. Ariana was “heartbroken” after finding a sexually explicit video of Raquel on Tom’s phone. She dumped him on March 3, 2023.

It took another two weeks for Ariana to process it all. On March 16th, she issued a statement to her followers.

“To say i have been devastated and broken is an understatement. however, i know that i am not in this alone,” Ariana wrote on Instagram. “What doesn’t kill me better run.”

Raquel and Tom issued separate statements of their own. Most recently, the former beauty pageant queen was spotted solo getting her nails done in LA. According to her, she and Sandoval are not putting a label on their relationship.

Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip Season 3 Premiere: Thailand Might Be Hot, But Gizelle Bryant Brings All Of The Shade

At long last, Peacock has gifted us with the third season of Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip. It feels like forever since we’ve gotten a new Real Housewives crossover and it was long overdue after the Bezerkshires trip of Season 2. A group of Housewives past and present head to Phuket, Thailand for a girls’ trip like no other.

Peacock outdid themselves with the cast. From Real Housewives of Potomac, Candiace Dillard Bassett and Gizelle Bryant are coming fresh from their Season 7 feud. We also have Bad Weather from Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, even though Heather Gay and Whitney Rose aren’t on the best of terms, either. Real Housewives of Atlanta peach Porsha Williams steps out of retirement to party with the crew. Real Housewives of Miami besties Marysol Patton and Alexia Echevarria are accounted for, cockies in hand. Finally, we have the wildcard Leah McSweeney from Real Housewives of New York.

The premiere episode sets the tone for what this mashup group of ladies has in store for their exotic vacation. Gizelle wastes no time stirring the pot, as she does best, and everyone’s skeletons come out of the closet right away. Here are five of the main takeaways from the RHUGT Season 3 premiere episode, “We’re in Thailand, B-tches!”

Thailand Wins Best RHUGT Location So Far

It only feels right to kick off this recap with a love letter to the producers of Season 3. RHUGT was fun with Dorinda Medley and co., but a lavish trip to a villa in Thailand is truly next level. The ladies travel far and wide to stay in a bonafide palace, even though it almost takes Whitney twice as long to make the hike up the road as it did to fly there. They also have an amazing concierge named Pepsi to wait on them hand and foot, who I can already tell is going to be a fan favorite.

The producers also make the show even more fun with their editing tactics. They feature scenes from all of the ladies’ flagship shows to provide context to their relationships headed into the trip. It’s also a fun spin to see the ladies breaking the fourth wall. I almost spit out my drink when Porsha is bragging about her room to producers. “OK Bravo, they really do want me back. They’re trying to woo me,” she says in a confessional. A producer chimes in to remind her that she’s on Peacock now. It’s the comedic relief Bravo fans need to break up all of the drama going on these days.

Gizelle Immediately Gets Reasonably Shady

Any RHOP fan already knew how Gizelle was going to act on this trip, and she wastes no time getting to it. As the resident pot stirrer, she literally brings up all of the drama going on among the ladies. She doesn’t even let Heather put her bags down before grilling her about the Jen Shah of it all. Lucky for Gizzy, Candiace is feeling generous on this trip and decides to forgive Gizelle for the sake of keeping the peace. It doesn’t mean CandeePants won’t sneak around to her new roomies to warn them about her co-star from home.

At the first group lunch, Gizelle also makes Heather and Whitney attempt to hash out their unfinished business from RHOSLC Season 3. It’s the same fight about Lisa Barlow that they’ve been having for weeks now. I think I speak for all of us when I say we’re over it. Gizelle also gets bored quickly and makes the ladies stop fighting for her own amusement, which is just typical. At the first dinner just hours later, Gizelle makes the ladies play a game with the sole purpose of stirring up trouble. They have to share their best and worst first impressions from Day 1, which is quite a way to get this group of women fired up from the get-go. Again, did any of us expect anything less from Gizelle’s big RHUGT debut? I sure did not.

Alexia And Marysol Aren’t In Miami Anymore

Out of all the ladies in the house, Alexia and Marysol take the most time warming up. Sure, they’re used to the heat of Thailand coming from Florida. But maybe it’s because they have each other that they are a bit more reserved. They’re a dynamic duo for a reason, but we know that friendship will be tested on this trip. Marysol also spends most of the episode sick. Pepsi’s Thai cocktails aren’t sitting right in her stomach. She needs a big glass of vodka with a splash of orange soda and then she’ll be good to go. Marysol also admits to only drinking water when she makes her coffee with it. That woman is a scientific miracle.

Any RHOM fan knows that Alexia and Marysol speak their own language of Spanglish. Gizelle gets mad when Alexia and Marysol speak to one another in Spanish, which pisses off the Cockie Queen. She ultimately apologizes, but Marysol doesn’t like that Gizelle thinks she can make rules for everyone in the group. Alexia also doesn’t like Gizelle asking so many questions to avoid talking about herself, so who knows how these two will mesh with their new roomies.

Heather Feels The Group Pile On

Heather heads into the trip needing a vacation. Honestly, she and Whitney are just excited that the RHOSLC girls finally get to leave the “Mormon belt” for once. But really — filming began just days after Heather learned of Jen’s guilty plea. She’s ready to have fun in the Thai sun, but Gizelle’s nosy questions cut that idea short pretty quickly. Heather is upset that Whitney isn’t getting as many questions as she is, even though Whitney never was as ride-or-die for Jen as Miss Gay.

Aside from Heather’s issues with Whitney, she gets off on the wrong foot with Leah. When Leah arrives, Heather sweetly acknowledges her sobriety and then says she almost wants to stay sober in solidarity to help Leah through the week. However, after a few of Pepsi’s strong cocktails, Heather then thinks it’s a funny joke to want to “get Leah drunk.” Bad look. Leah brings up that a relapse could literally kill her. Even though Heather read Leah’s book about her addiction struggles, she still said it’d be a “challenge” to get her drunk. It leads to a major fight.

Almost everyone picks Heather as the person who gave them the worst first impression. Leah ultimately forgives Heather once she apologizes for her stupid comment, but the pile-on has just begun and Heather is feeling it. “Gizelle doesn’t like her, no one can like her,” Heather said in a confessional about herself. She feels a target on her back but in Heather’s own words, she’s just glad to be getting attention. It’s going to be a long trip for the SLC girls.

Porsha Is Back And Better Than Ever

The biggest takeaway from the RHUGT Season 3 premiere is that Porsha Williams is BACK, baby. And boy is she more on point than ever. It’s been a while since Porsha’s been “in the TV,” as she puts it, and I forget how much I’ve missed her. Porsha says she’s in an empowered place in her life and man, I believe her after this episode. Porsha and Marysol make fast friends on the flight to Thailand thanks to their mutual taste for a stiff cockie. From then on, she’s nothing but a walking party.

No one made me laugh more in this episode than Porsha. Pepsi shows the girls the “spirit house” at their villa, and Porsha doesn’t hide that she’s scared of ghosts. “I thought we were the ones who rented this place,” she quips. I’m screaming. Porsha also dogs Gizelle for digging into everyone’s drama before even learning their last name. Porsha tries to remember everyone’s last name and only comes up with “Heather Graham” and “Whitney Houston.” It’s just comical. The episode ends with Porsha and Candiace igniting some beef that fans expected was bound to happen between them. While I’m not picking sides in this fight, I’m just happy to see more of Miss Williams in a new environment on my TV on a weekly basis. Thank you, Peacock.

Real Housewives Of Miami Season 5 Reunion Part 3: Adriana De Moura’s Tears And Marysol Patton’s Liver Letter

Everyone raise one last mojito because it’s time to finally bid farewell to the masterpiece that is Real Housewives of Miami Season 5. The Miami ladies just continued to gift us with amazing TV all season long and we never wanted it to end. Thankfully, the reunion was one final hurrah that gives us closure to a season well done.

RHOM Season 5 had a lot to unpack, so it’s no wonder it took a three-part reunion to do so. Adriana De Moura finally confronted her issues with Marysol Patton and Alexia Echevarria and boy is it a rollercoaster ride. Plus, we get one last appearance from a new (and significantly looser) Larsa Pippen and her petty behavior. Here are five of the main takeaways from the RHOM Season 5 Reunion Part 3.

Lisa Finally Gets A Fresh Start

The reunion picks back up after Kiki Barth reveals that she has known for years that Lenny Hochstein was a cheater. She attended their infamous parties well before her friendship with Lisa Hochstein began, and she claims to even know some of the women he cheated with in the past. Lisa, rightfully, isn’t shocked. She realizes that for years she made excuses about rumors she was hearing, even though Lenny knew the parties made her uncomfortable.

As Season 5 comes to a close, it really feels like a fresh start for Lisa. She’s got a new man and new confidence. She credits her RHOM co-stars for helping her in her darkest hour, especially Larsa. She even revealed that Larsa was the person who made phone calls to get Katharina Mazepa’s restraining order dropped against Lisa. To be fair, Larsa admits it was partially for selfish reasons. If Lisa had a restraining order on her, it’d be hard for the two of them to go out on the town in Miami. Regardless, Lisa is moving on from the Lenny chapter and into a happier one. She’s not even given up on the idea of getting married again, just to someone who isn’t a certified narcissist.

Adriana’s Ludicrous Liver Letter

In a season of ridiculous antics, Adriana takes the cake at the reunion. She and Marysol begin to unpack their friendship-ending issues, mainly Adriana’s offhand comment about the Cockie Queen’s ex. The accusations being thrown left and right are pretty bad, but Adriana takes it up a notch when she pulls out a letter she wants Andy Cohen to read out loud. The letter is from someone being “abused” day and night by Marysol who is worried she will kill them. The letter signs off as being sent by “Marysol’s Liver.” My jaw is on the floor. I have to agree with Marysol and Alexia that it’s a pretty stupid move. Even Andy knew it was just so horrible, but he still wanted to keep the letter for his Bravo novelty collection.

Adriana also stands up to hand Marysol a list of rehab centers and Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. Girl, it’s bad taste, especially when you’re begging Marysol to be your friend again. The timing of the joke is horrible and it left little hope that peace would be reached among the group. “Andy wants to go, home bro,” Marysol responds to Adriana’s antics. The Miami girls, there is truly no group like them.

Loose Larsa’s Last Hurrah

Larsa isn’t the focus of any segment in the third part of the RHOM reunion, but that doesn’t mean she won’t make it about herself. Larsa takes up as Alexia’s hypeman during the episode. When Alexia is talking smack about Anthony Lopez and Nicole Martin, Larsa chimes in out of nowhere to scream that Anthony is a “b-tch.” Andy also brings up Larsa’s horrible vacation braids and asks if it was cultural appropriation. “I’m not white so I don’t know,” Larsa responded. Now, I’ve never seen Larsa do a 23&Me test, but I’m just going to say that her response was a CHOICE. And it probably wasn’t the best one.

Larsa continues to butt in everywhere she can. Adriana tries to clap back and tell her frenemy to stay out of her business, but Petty Pippen has none of it. “Everything’s about me, shut up,” Larsa quipped. She never stopped. Andy acknowledged that Larsa seems to have loosened up when it comes to filming and Larsa responds “too loose,” which I think is the perfect way to sum up her season.

Marysol Embraces Her Spiritual Side

Marysol has quite the episode. The breakdown of her friendship with Adriana is just so much to follow. Marysol breaks down in tears because she feels so hurt by someone who was her friend. Adriana keeps saying sorry and that her comment about her ex-boyfriend was bad judgment. However, Marysol seems to have decided that Adriana is on the dark side. Adriana breaks down about her emotional state and lack of self-esteem, and Marysol has little empathy. She tells Adriana she’ll be there along the way for her healing journey, which is a glimpse of hope for this longtime friendship.

Marysol embraces her spiritual side in this episode. Maybe it’s because there was a lot of Mama Elsa talk, which always brings out a different side of her. Marysol says that after not feeling her mom for months, she felt her presence on the Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip to Thailand. She describes what it feels like when her mom is near and reflects on their close relationship. Marysol has always been spiritual but this seems different and more genuine. Hopefully, it does bring her peace and sets up the opportunity for her and Adriana to mend things in the future.

Alexia Is One Stubborn Barbie

Alexia, on the other hand, isn’t so quick to be forgiving. She believes Adriana is nothing but a fraud who is her enemy. They rehash drama from literally decades ago that remains unresolved. Adriana cannot apologize enough for her comment about Frankie Rosello, but it just hits too close to home with Alexia. Considering Alexia is working on building Frankie’s independence and handling the emotional toll of that, it’s not surprising she’s not prioritizing re-friending Adriana. The episode ends on a somewhat positive note, but the Cuban Barbie sure doesn’t forget people who’ve crossed her. I don’t think she’ll be so quick to forgive, either.

Alexia talks a lot about the benefits of RHOM. Mainly, the show connected her with the De Moya Foundation, which is ultimately helping Frankie’s progress. She breaks down when Andy brings up the scene of Frankie being scared to take an Uber and it’s just so raw to see. She admits that through all of her hardships, she’s never been to therapy. Andy and the RHOM cast encourage her to work on healing from all the trauma, which sounds like great advice. Maybe the Cuban Barbie can go full Teresa Giudice and embrace the namaste in Season 6.
