Dancing With The Stars Judge Carrie Ann Inaba Had An Emergency Appendectomy

Dancing with the Stars is in the middle of a lot of changes. Host Tyra Banks has moved on and former DWTS pro Julianne Hough is taking her place. Julianne will handle the front of the house along with Alfonso Ribero, who thankfully kept his slot.

Legendary judge Len Goodman retired from his chair of criticism and praise. And he will be missed. Julianne’s brother Derek Hough is keeping his judge’s chair, but Len will not be replaced. Correction, Len cannot be replaced. Returning judges will be Bruno Turniolo and Carrie Ann Inaba. Also, there will never be a time in my life when I write her name without hearing the dulcet tones of announcer Alan Dedicoat saying, “CARRIE ANN INABAAAA.”

Speaking of Carrie Ann, our girl has been having a rough time – and that’s putting it mildly. In an unfortunate turn of events, Carrie Ann has been sidelined by an angry appendix. E! News has the details.

On Instagram, Carrie Ann told her followers she was diagnosed with acute gangrenous appendicitis. Okay, this is horrible on several levels. First, acute gangrenous appendicitis is when your appendix is SEVERELY inflamed and has signs of dead tissue. Secondly, she must have been in an enormous amount of pain.

Carrie Ann underwent an emergency appendectomy but had “a few small complications.” Unfortunately, the “small complications” resulted in a 4-day vacation in the hospital. The professional dancer was experiencing extreme discomfort, but that’s standard in the life of a dancer. That said, Carrie Ann regrets delaying her treatment.

She said, ”I should have come straight to the hospital right when the pain in my abdomen started, after the sudden and violent vomiting that knocked me off my feet.” She should have, but pain often gets put aside when you’re a single parent. And yes, that includes kids who are furry and have four legs. I’ll die on this hill.

Carrie Ann added, “I should have gone when I couldn’t stand without excruciating pain, but I honestly didn’t want to leave my babies, and I’m so accustomed to pain—thought I should let it play out.” Well, it definitely played out. Carrie Ann’s reluctance to care for herself only added to the time away from her family.

Thankfully her scary episode is over and Carrie Ann is on the mend. Her recovery will take four to six weeks and she clearly learned her lesson. She advised her fans appendicitis attacks can “happen suddenly and seemingly out of nowhere.” They can also be life-threatening, so please don’t hesitate to seek medical advice if you find yourself suffering.

She continued, “And when you are in that much pain, the last thing you want to do is go anywhere. And when you have autoimmune disease, you are often having strange health occurrences that no one can explain or help you with so sometimes, you try to wait it out, like I did. I was wrong.” It sounds like Ms. Inaba might have had a firm talking-to by her concerned surgeon. Carrie Ann urges people to head to the doctor because “it could be something very serious.”

It definitely sounds like the least enjoyable situation possible and Carrie Ann is very fortunate. “While it’s been quite a painful experience, I also know it’s a gift to even feel this pain, she explained. “I realize after speaking with my doctor that it could have been much worse.” Ah yes, that’s the physician lecture coming in loud and clear. You may not know, but Carrie Ann has several autoimmune diseases that can complicate even the smallest health scares.

She said, “One of the biggest gifts of having autoimmune conditions is that you become much more aware of how fragile your health can be. With autoimmune conditions, there’s so little that they know about it that there’s so much space to grow and learn and be your own best advocate.” In a special mention to the staff in charge of her care, she wrote, “Special shout out to the wonderful staff of doctors, nurses and aides at @cedarssinai for taking such good care of me.” Glad Carrie Ann is doing well and back with her fur kids.

Kim Richards Sheds Light On Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills Return Amid Falling Out Between Kathy Hilton And Kyle Richards

One goes out and one comes back. It’s a good thing Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards has sisters. She should probably send both of them a bouquet of fresh flowers on a daily basis for elongating her tenure on the show.

Season 12 of RHOBH was a challenge for everyone from the cast to the viewing audience. Fans were accosted by constant lip-licking and gaslighting. The ladies could barely tolerate each other in a group and Erika Jayne’s lack of empathy for widows and orphans seemed to keep everyone in a dark mood.

Kathy Hilton was brought in to assist Kyle because let’s be frank, Kyle has very little substance without a sibling to boost her storyline. Over the years Kim Richards had been Kyle’s content wingman but left the show to spend time with her growing family and continue her recovery from substance abuse.

During a cast trip to Aspen, Kathy had an alleged meltdown. It may or may not have involved slurs and possibly spewing fire from her mouth. After Kyle took Lisa Rinna’s side in the argument, Kathy and Kyle had a falling out.

Now it appears Kathy isn’t filming Season 13 (yet) and Kyle was left blowing in the wind all alone. Instead of gearing up and standing solo, sister Kim was brought back in. Now Kim is explaining her return in the middle of Kyle and Kathy’s feud.

According to Page Six, Kim wants Kathy and Kyle to repair their relationship. Kyle probably wants Kim on RHOBH to make her seem interesting. Kim said, “I think this whole thing between the sisters was hard.” Hard, yes. Unusual, no. This is because since 2010 Kyle’s “thing” has been sparring with a sister on reality television.

She added, “So I’m hopeful that we’ll be able to put it back together soon.” Humpty Dumpty was hopeful too and we all know what happened to that poor guy. Are we really subjecting viewers to another cyclical romp around the Maypole with Kyle and whatever relative she’s having problems with? Family drama is great, but is there anything else we could hope for? Real Housewives of New Jersey called and said, “excuse me, what’s wrong with neverending issues between siblings?”

Kyle was with Kim at Sutton Stracke’s four-year anniversary party for the Sutton Concept boutique in West Hollywood. She said it “feels great” to have Kim on the show.

“It feels really good,” Kyle continued. “She always reminds me that I’m the baby sister and she checks on me, so it feels really good.” Did it feel good not standing up for Kim when Rinna was on the show? Would Kim be welcomed back if Rinna hadn’t gotten the axe?

“Obviously, we’re a family and we’ve gone through hard times before and we always come back together, so that’s my hope again – to have us all come back together,” Kyle shared. Do they all actually come together or is there a Hilton/Richards prerequisite stating at least one of them has to be mad at the other so life as we know it doesn’t end?

As for Kim, she mentioned she was reluctant to come back to RHOBH after her extended time off. “I took this time off and I wasn’t sure if I wanted to come back at all,” she said. There will be people saying it’s not in Kim’s best interest to film due to her past, but it’s her decision to make.
“I think with everything that’s kind of gone on with my sisters and I’m thinking ‘I need to start getting out,’ I wanted to come in and see my sister and spend a little time with her,” Kim confessed.

Ultimately Kim said it’s a “day by day” process for her and she’ll deal with it as it comes. She recently became a grandma for the third time and doesn’t “want to take away too much time from them.” Kim isn’t the only alum we’ll see this season. Bravo also called in favors to Denise Richards and Camille Grammer. Looks like we’re also possibly gaining one new diamond holder in Annemarie Wiley. Stay tuned to see who else pops up in Season 13.

TELL US- ARE YOU GLAD KIM WILL SHOW UP ON RHOBH AGAIN? DO YOU THINK KYLE CAN CARRY THE SHOW WITHOUT A SISTER? IS KATHY HILTON COMPLETELY DONE WITH FILMING?

Top Real Housewives Comebacks That Hit Below The Belt

For the most part, ignorance is bliss and not knowing someone despises you can be beneficial. Polite society tells us to keep our mouths shut if we can’t say anything nice, but polite society is definitely not reality television. The ladies featured on the Real Housewives franchise do their very best to present as sweet women of high society, but some of these sweet women have a vicious streak.

Most of the time we see true colors come out during a reunion or alcohol-filled dinner. For some reason, the most savage character traits come out when a cast is on a luxurious vacation. Whether it is home base or a faraway land, there’s not a lot that will stop an argument that’s been brewing since the previous episode. Despite someone’s best effort to remain composed, there’s always a chance one of the stars will snap, and snapping inevitably leads to venom. While no one wakes up intending to hit below the belt, it’s difficult to sweetly ask an oncoming train to slow down. Let’s take a look at some of the hardest-hitting clap backs that perhaps went a little too far.

Real Housewives Of Atlanta / Kenya Moore And Marlo Hampton

During Real Housewives of Atlanta’s Season 9, Marlo Hampton took her usual snark and leveled up to meet the final boss. Unfortunately, the final boss wound up being the fans she angered by hitting Kenya Moore below the belt. During Season 6 of RHOA, all appeared to be well between Marlo and Kenya. Two polarizing figures joining forces could create quite an impact on such a… heavily opinionated cast. NeNe Leakes wasn’t too fond of their friendship because she couldn’t tolerate moving down a notch. Marlo knew who the popular kid in the group was and never stopped trying to edge her way back into NeNe’s heart. When they finally resolved their differences, this put a rift between Marlo and Kenya’s relationship. NeNe didn’t like Kenya, therefore Marlo could not like Kenya.

Basically, after Season 6 Marlo and Kenya did nothing more than endlessly irritate each other. During a camping trip, Kenya once again found herself on the receiving end of Marlo’s running mouth. Marlo decided to take a very sensitive and tender subject and throw it in Kenya’s face. She called Kenya evil and concluded that was the reason Kenya’s mother disowned her as a child. Kenya was highly and rightfully offended and her co-stars called Marlo out. It wasn’t one of Marlo’s finest moments, but she did eventually share she regretted attacking Kenya in that manner.

Real Housewives Of New York / Dorinda Medley And Tinsley Mortimer

I hope Tinsley Mortimer is doing great. I also hope Dorinda Medley is doing great. Chances are very good they’re both fine, but the two weren’t exactly copacetic on Real Housewives of New York. For the most part Dorinda was your average American wealthy lady of leisure. But when Dorinda drank, she basically became another person. It’s fair to say Dorinda drank a lot.

Tinsley wasn’t on RHONY for long. She had visions of wedding bells and babies dancing in her head. But hadn’t made a lot of progress with either. Tinsley desperately wanted a husband and family but her life had taken certain detours stalling her fairytale ending. In an effort to be proactive, like many women Tinsley took measures to hopefully ensure she would one day be a mom.

Her love life struggled and for whatever reason, Dorinda wasn’t very kind to Tinsley during vulnerable occasions. At one point Dorinda took it too far, and it might have been an extra nail in her Bravo contract coffin. During one of her final RHONY on-camera moments, Tinsley shared she was leaving the show to hopefully find everlasting love (she didn’t). Dorinda was definitely not interested in Tinsley’s quest for marriage, but she did slam her desire for children. Dorinda said, “I don’t want to talk about it. I really want to make it disappear. Just don’t bring life to it.” Then she added, “I’ve got a turkey baster. Maybe try and have a baby.” Tinsley made her exit and after that comment, Dorinda wasn’t far behind.

Real Housewives Of Orange County / Shannon Storms Beador And Kelly Dodd

I truly feel for Shannon Beador. I know she’s moderately insufferable, but no one deserves what Shannon has experienced. This woman has been through the wringer on Real Housewives of Orange County. After years of trying to repair her self-worth, Shannon thought the warmth of true love had finally called her number. Unfortunately, it was ripped away at the end of 2022. Before John Janssen, there was David Beador. Chip-eating and cheating, David’s infidelity almost ruined Shannon’s life. To be blunt, she was miserable to watch due to the inherently sad subject matter. It was equally disturbing to see Shannon and David’s daughters witnessing the demise of their parents’ marriage. Shannon was raw, open, exposed, and clearly hurting.

Enter Kelly Dodd who could smell blood in the water like a great white shark and bite when you least expect it. During one of Shannon’s special parties with a 1970s theme, things went from wonderful to what-in-the-world when Kelly and Shannon started a back-and-forth war of words. The embarrassing scene culminated in Kelly going full lowbrow and commenting on Shannon’s shaky marriage that was currently under construction. Normally checking a cheating husband isn’t considered below the belt, but due to Shannon’s struggles, it knocked the wind out of her. Kelly’s blow was aimed at David. She loudly said, “No wonder why you’ve cheated on your wife.” Shannon was horrified and humiliated once again and Kelly was left to use her mouth as a weapon until she was fired in Season 15.

Real Housewives Of Potomac / Candiace Dillard Bassett And Ashley Darby

Real Housewives of Potomac is heavy with star potential. Grand Dame Karen Huger presides over the ladies even though they don’t take her too seriously. Candiace Dillard Bassett has some of the best lines you will ever hear. If you are involved in an argument, you’re gonna want Candy on your side. She clashes with many, but consistently butts heads with co-star Ashley Darby. Candiace will violate every single one of your senses, but sometimes she takes it too far. In my opinion, reads are clever due to the quality of information being used at the time, but it doesn’t take a genius to make fun of someone’s looks. That’s when you know you’ve lost and in one particular instance, Candiace failed to score a point against Ashley.

During birthday festivities for Robyn Dixon, Candiace found yet another opportunity to share her feelings with Ashley. Candiace wasn’t pleased Ashely instigated a disagreement between Wendy Osefo and Gizelle Bryant on a previous girls’ trip. Ashley had just given birth and was grabbing pre-made breastmilk so she could peace out after sparking the intense convo. Candiace approached her when Ashley arrived at a brunch and left no mercy. Candiace said, “You brought your widebody as down to Williamsburg to spread lies and bullsh*t and then you took off with your breastmilk.” Ashley attempted to clock her on the body shaming, but it only proved to egg Candiace on. She actually said Ashley body-shamed herself just by walking into the room. She also told Ashley she has a “big as* face” along with a “big as* forehead.” I enjoy Candiace a great deal, but body shaming is not the way.

Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills / Brandi Glanville And Adrienne Maloof

What Brandi Glanville did to Adrienne Maloof when they both starred on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is one for the history books. Brandi actually took private information and shared it with the cast of RHOBH during a dinner. It was so personal, Bravo went through the trouble of bleeping out Brandi’s words until the information was fully public. It’s sad when a network known for promoting bad behavior now has to cover the bad behavior.

During a filmed dinner, Brandi blurted out to the masses that Adrienne had chosen surrogacy to have her twins after a complicated first pregnancy. Adrienne and Paul Nassif had been previously advised by a child therapist not to reveal the assistance until their kids were mature enough to process the information. But Brandi’s big mouth took care of that for the Maloof/Nassif family.

Brandi was sent a cease and desist via Paul’s attorneys and it sparked an enormous feud. Sides were taken and to the viewers’ surprise, Brandi persevered. Due to legal reasons, Bravo was even forced to cut scenes from the final edit of the show. In a franchise whose motto appears to be, “leave the children out of it,” Brandi dropped the ball and received little reprimanding for her efforts. Paul and Adrienne divorced shortly after the drama died down. Brandi’s whereabouts are currently unknown, but she’s definitely not filming anything for Bravo.
