Real Housewives Of New Jersey Star Dolores Catania Admits To Taking Ozempic; Says “I Got On The Bandwagon”

Real Housewives of New Jersey star Dolores Catania shocked fans by admitting she’s taken Ozempic. Hopefully, this won’t lead to Margaret Josephs calling her a “disheveled drug addict,” the claim she leveled at Jennifer Aydin earlier this season.

Dolores explained her decision on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. Page Six has the details. She said she hopped on the “bandwagon” and had been using semaglutide for six weeks, to aid with weight loss. Dolores added that “not one” of the RHONJ cast has avoided the drug.

Pointing the blame elsewhere she said, “I wasn’t going to come to the reunion looking any bigger than anyone else, so I got on the bandwagon.” Dolores also clarified that she was taking “another part” of the Ozempic branch called “Mounjaro.” For clarity, these are not typically weight loss pills. Both Mounjaro and Ozempic are properly used as prescription drugs to treat Type 2 diabetes. There have even been shortages of the drugs to treat those with the condition, according to CNN.

Real Housewives of Miami veteran Marysol Patton also appeared on WWHL, and said that Mounjaro was “the fast forward to Skinnyville.” She labeled it as the “amped-up version” of Ozempic. This is one weight loss fad that is taking the Real Housewives world by storm, much to the disappointment of Jackie Goldschneider.

While Dolores prides herself on “telling the truth,” viewers were not impressed. A Twitter user called her admission “unhealthy and triggering.” Another follower seemed to defend the move, however, and said, “They are on TV, heavily scrutinized for their appearance, of course they’d take a weight loss peptide if available.”

Real Housewives Of New Jersey Newbies Danielle Cabral And Rachel Fuda Break Down The End Of Their Short-Lived Friendship

Thankfully, Real Housewives of New Jersey introduced a few new girls into the Season 13 cast to break up from the Teresa Giudice and Joe Gorga hamster wheel. Sure, I love watching the Gorgas fight as much as the next fan but sometimes, it’s just too damn much. The two full-time additions are Rachel Fuda and Danielle Cabral. They’re both over-the-top moms with young daughters, but that’s about the end of their similarities.

Danielle and Rachel hit it off when they first entered the RHONJ scene. However, it was short-lived once the other ladies started meddling in their business. The two newbies have been fighting in recent episodes about some “coffee talk” about Margaret Josephs. Danielle thinks Rachel was stirring the pot by telling Marge she was talking smack about her. Rachel, on the other hand, doesn’t seem to understand where the anger is coming from. Girl, I know we all barely know Danielle, but it’s obvious she’s not a bear you want to poke. Period.

During a recent RHONJ: After Show, both Danielle and Rachel gave their individual, and very different, sides of the story to explain the breakdown of their friendship. According to Bravo’s The Daily Dish, Danielle is holding onto the idea that she was just engaging in “coffee talk” rather than talking smack. Danielle said, “I was like, ‘Wow, who the f–k are you?’ Holy s–t. Totally different Rachel than what I was used to. I thought we were girls.” Again, Danielle might be new but I’m already reading her quotes in her Staten Island accent. That’s the sign of an icon in the making.

Rachel explained that she didn’t mean to make Marge’s arsenal such a big issue. She added that she apologized, so she’s not sure why Danielle won’t just own what she said. Rachel tried to throw Danielle under the bus for talking about Jennifer Aydin and Tre, which seemed like a reach. Danielle can hold her own. However, Rachel is much harder to read. Rachel is playing the middle ground in her new group of friends, and you can’t blame an RHONJ newbie for taking the safe approach.

Danielle will speak her mind at the drop of a hat and she’s also #TeamTre all the way. While I don’t really have a stake in this absolutely minuscule fight, I am enjoying the RHONJ newbies, especially Danielle. I have high hopes that she could eventually become the new Tre once it’s time for our star to move on.

Margaret also chimed in on the after-show and just explained that she wants to be invited to the coffee talk. “Why am I not part of the coffee talk?! Why does everyone want to coffee talk behind my back?” she said. OK, Marge, don’t get too excited. Maybe people don’t want to have coffee with you because all you drink is massive amounts of candy-flavored coffee creamer, but that’s just coming from a black coffee purist. Plus, you’re asking Danielle too many questions about her brother so you’re probably one of the last people on her coffee talk list.

Vanderpump Rules Star Tom Schwartz Reveals Tom Sandoval Said He’s “In Love” With Raquel Leviss

I know everyone is growing weary of Scandoval by now. It’s been a little over a month since the Vanderpump Rules scandal rocked the show, the network, and most of North America. Details are still coming out, and cast members remain shocked that Tom Sandoval and Rachel Raquel Leviss’ affair was happening right in front of their faces.

Sandoval’s right-hand man and current mouthpiece was on Watch What Happens Live last night. Whilst wearing wrist-weights to control his face-touching, Tom Schwartz further proved the theory that all Toms are bad. Page Six has the details.

On the bright side, Schwartz did spill some information. But he’s basically the human equivalent of an Etch-a-Sketch and it’s safe to say he’s lacking in the depth department. He did say Sandoval’s relationship with Rachel is the real deal.

Schwartz said, “In January, Tom came to me … and he told me that he was in love with Raquel. I was flabbergasted.” I wonder if Tom loves Raquel as much as he loves his sequined pants collection. Is it possible Raquel returns the love of a man who thinks he’s Neil Diamond but is more Neil Cubic Zirconia?

Tom 2 also touched on the lengthy amount of time his BFF and Raquel cheated under Ariana Madix’s nose saying their relationship became an “open secret.” “After that, I mean, Tom kind of got flagrant — he was brazen,” he added. Then Schwartz dropped the dime that he knew about Tom and Rachel back in August 2022. He claimed the affair began after a one-night stand but turned into an “emotional affair.” Are we all ready?

SURE, JAN! I doubt Schwartz convinced anyone Tom and Raquel only played diddle diddle one time before rerouting their lust into an emotional affair. Schwartz also said Tom is in a midlife crisis up to his neck, which is stating the obvious.

“Tom was having, like, a midlife crisis. I learned in August, in late August about the affair, the one-night stand — allegedly. From my point of view, it became, like, an emotional affair — which is still inappropriate.” Oh, look, standards from the guy who would black out and cheat on his wife. What an emotional breakthrough-said no one.

Andy Cohen tried to squeeze more incriminating information out of Schwartz. But he was a good boy and followed his script. Schwartz will die on the hill of not finding out until January 2023. He also claims he didn’t tell Ariana about Sandoval swinging his thing in Raquel’s direction because Sandy told him not to.

He tries to pin not having a shred of decency on Sandoval. Saying Tom controlled the “narrative that he has broken up with Ariana, or attempted to multiple times — many, many times. And he’s not happy, they’re not healthy, they’re not intimate, blah blah blah.” Schwartz also said Tom did a great job keeping him quiet, which probably only required head pats and Scooby snacks.

“He did a good job of placating me. … And he told me he has a game plan, he’s gonna do the right thing — and then he just kind of continued to kept procrastinate. I’m more upset with Sandoval because he took advantage of my kindness. And he put a lot of people, not just myself, in very compromising situations where our integrity was at stake,” Schwartz explained.

I’m sorry, I’ll need someone to remind me when Schwartz had integrity to be put at risk. He added Tom is addicted to Raquel, but Tom is also addicted to himself. Maybe once Raquel has a critical thinking exercise, she’ll open her eyes and see white nail polish and flared polyester pants at 2 pm on a Tuesday is not the glamorous life she thinks it is.

Vanderpump Rules Star Tom Schwartz Claims Tom Sandoval Is Addicted To Raquel Leviss; Says She’s His “Heroin”

They say that love is like a drug, and Tom Schwartz is taking that literally.

During a bizarre Watch What Happens Live appearance, the Vanderpump Rules star was in the hot seat answering questions about his buddies, Tom Sandoval, Ariana Madix, and Raquel Leviss. Schwartz tried his best not to look like a blubbering mess, but that didn’t work out well. When discussing the affair, he compared Sandoval’s relationship with Raquel to a heroin addiction. Does that sound a little extreme to anyone else?

Page Six covered the details of Tom’s unusual comparison. “Raquel is Tom’s heroin,” Schwartz casually said during his appearance on WWHL. Andy Cohen appeared to be perplexed the entire time. “He’s addicted,” Schwartz continued. “It’s an infatuation of infatuations.”

Is Schwartz’s comparison a little insensitive? Yes. But, in some ways, there are some similarities. Addiction can make you seem selfish. It can damage your decision-making skills, crumble friendships, and ruin romantic relationships. Sandoval’s tryst with Raquel has done all of the above and then some.

Of course, addiction is clearly more serious and dangerous than an affair between reality stars. Schwartz explained that his comparison wasn’t meant to “minimize” or “disrespect” anyone struggling with addiction. Still, he admitted that his buddy is “lost in the sauce.”

For argument’s sake, let’s continue with the addiction metaphor. If Raquel is Sandoval’s heroin, then he desperately needs an intervention, rehab, and possibly a sit-down with Dr. Drew Pinsky.

The VPR cast did recently sit down for their Season 10 reunion, which is kind of like an intervention. Rumor has it that the cast blew up on Sandoval and Raquel, but the intervention/reunion clearly didn’t work because Sandoval is still making headlines for running around town with Raquel. They even grabbed a bite to eat immediately after the reunion!

On WWHL, Schwartz continued making excuses for his buddy’s addict-like behavior. The Pump Rules star claimed that because Sandoval has ADHD, he became “obsessed” with Raquel. Schwartz is seriously jumping through every hoop to find a clinical reason for this cheating scandal. The excuses aren’t great, but we can’t fault him for his loyalty to his friend.

Whether you think Sandoval’s relationship with Raquel is because of an ADHD obsession or a heroin-like addiction, we can all agree that breaking Ariana’s heart was wrong. This cheating scandal is nothing but problematic. Just say no to having affairs with your castmates!

Vanderpump Rules Season 10 Episode 9 Recap: Wedding Crashers

Well. We started this week’s Vanderpump Rules episode with Tom Sandoval of #Scandoval lecturing James Kennedy on the importance of wielding social power carefully. And it was somehow all downhill from there. Not to mention Raquel Leviss was sitting only a few seats away in what I assume is one of Tom’s rejected boater hats. It probably didn’t fit on his over-inflated dome. 

When we left off last week, Ally Lewber was leaving the dinner table due to her embarrassment of James’ behavior towards Ariana Madix. This week, we watched Ariana and James make up almost immediately. Quickly, that moment is taken over by Lala Kent’s nipples. And our descent has begun. 

Bub Comes To Dinner

Tom Schwartz and Katie Maloney met up to celebrate their divorce over a romantic dinner in Mexico. Tom began the meal with a cheers to getting back on the “hedonic treadmill.” His vocabulary has always been a dead giveaway that his slouchy lifestyle isn’t anything other than a long-term grift. Katie seemed completely irritated by Tom’s personality before their order was even taken. And in her confessional, she was finally figuring out that maybe Tom never even liked her. Why is she here? 

Rather than dust Tom and all these cast-mates she doesn’t like, Katie plopped herself in the center of this wedding event. During one of her disappointment rants, Tom cut Katie off to suggest they shouldn’t talk this frequently anymore. He tells her that, ever since she taught him about gaslighting, he can see her clearly gaslighting people all the time. This caused Katie to cry over her steak and walk out of the establishment. To his credit, Tom called Katie to ask her to come back. He didn’t even take her leftover food to go! He’s growing before our eyes. 

Back at the hotel, Kristina Kelly is waiting to earn her friend-of paycheck. She and Katie discuss at length how surprised they are things didn’t go well at the divorce dinner. Weird. Then, there’s a knock at the hotel door. In sauntered Raquel. She came to deliver a message from Scheana. 

Raquel informed the women that they are not “preferred” members at the hotel, and that they cannot join the wedding party in any of their exclusive events. Kristina specifically asked if she’s okay to be around during the wedding weekend. Raquel bluntly explained that, no– she is not. In fact, Scheana doesn’t want her anywhere ever. And know that. 

After Raquel left the hotel room, Kristina and Katie started laughing over Raqy’s poor self-awareness. This is while they sit in a budget-friendly hotel room in a foreign country surrounded by ex-husbands, their new flirt pieces, and a bunch of former SUR co-workers they never liked.

The Most Exclusive Catamaran 

Scheana Shay decided to invite Ally onto the catamaran she booked for the wedding-centric girls the next day. Very Zen, especially considering Ally was only invited because James begged for her to be allowed. Lala then shared that she may not be joining the excursion after all. She wants to go where she can feel “safe.” Apparently, that doesn’t include events involving the tall skinny woman she once referred to as “Bambi.” 

Scheana basically told Lala she was being a crap friend. Scheana explained that this is her moment to be the center of attention. This isn’t the time for Lala to rehash irrelevant galaxy light drama with Raquel or bond with tag-along-Kristina. 

Once everyone is on the catamaran, we got Raquel’s side. Raquel felt like she could have easily asked Scheana to disinvite Lala on the boat if she had wanted to, but didn’t want to accidentally give off the same entitled energy she’s seeing Lala radiate. On the other side of the boat, Lala started sucking up to Ally. She warned her that James’ antics against Ariana last night were tame in comparison to his past. Lala began to cry and told Ally she has a heart of gold and should protect herself. 

James’ Spiral Update

This is the spiral that never ends. It goes on and on, my friends. James was consistently struggling in this episode. He started out by telling the camera he considers himself a worldly man. He doesn’t understand the homo-erotic friendships among all his “straight” friends. I’m just going to keep the illusion alive and end my comments on that here. 

In general, James finds Brock Davies’ friends to be too rowdy. He told Ally all about his day with them. But he is stopped in his tracks when she begins talking about her earlier conversation with Lala. James proceeded to slam Lala’s former gold-digging. He followed it up by complimenting the only things that serve him in his relationship with Ally. He told her she’s kind, and compassionate for others. Basically, he loves that she’s a passive pushover who won’t say anything against him ever.

Katie’s Rebound Dinner Date

So after her wretched dinner with Schwartz and her personal dis-invitation from any “preferred” wedding event, what did Katie do? She booked herself a dinner within spitting distance of Scheana’s welcome party. At one point, Katie says “people love me” while she enjoyed a meal with Randall Emmett’s ex-fiancé and her emotional-support friend-of. 

After enjoying all the free booze at the welcome party, Schwartz sauntered over to Bub Katie and started making small talk. He asked Katie if she could help him trim his armpit hair. Katie looked annoyed. It was almost like she couldn’t have picked any other restaurant in any other country to avoid this situation.  

Smooches

So Schwartz made his way back over to a group of people who don’t roll their eyes every time he speaks. Fair enough. He and Raquel went over to a private (albeit filmed) table for two, and they started to discuss their relationship. Tom claimed that his interest in Raquel became “a thing” after Katie forbade it. And so what’s a boy to do? 

We ended the episode with a scene of Tommy Boy and Rachel making out while onlookers cheer in the background. TO BE CONTINUED…
