Andy Cohen “Lost His Sh-T” On Teresa Giudice While Filming Real Housewives Of New Jersey Season 13 Reunion

Poor Andy Cohen. After years of mediating between Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice and everyone else, it appears he might have reached his limit.

Teresa has always been a favorite of Andy’s. He considers her table-flipping iconic and still replays the moment Tre bodily checked him with a smile on his face. But like the viewers, Andy has grown weary of the never-ending drama between Teresa and Melissa Gorga.

Melissa and Teresa’s brother neglected to attend her wedding to Luis Ruelas. Probably because Joe Gorga doesn’t want to witness the next man to financially and morally bankrupt his sister. But we’ve never seen a truly loving relationship between Tre and her sister-in-law. It almost seems like Teresa never forgave her brother for choosing another woman over her – and it shows.

Now that the sun is setting on Season 13, the reunion went as scheduled. But according to all reports, it was practically a crime scene. Now Andy is admitting he might have choked during a battle of wits where both participants were unarmed. Page Six has the details.

We’re used to seeing a Housewife walk out of a reunion when it gets too hot in the kitchen, but we aren’t used to seeing the host storm off. It looks like the ladies of RHONJ had Andy running off in search of a safe space.

After getting “annoyed” at Teresa during the taping, Andy almost ditched the whole thing. He explained this on his SiriusXM show, Radio Andy. “There was a moment where I turned to Teresa [Giudice] – I apologized to her later – I didn’t yell at her – but I think I lost my s–t with her in a way that I haven’t maybe ever,” he said.

Andy added his response to Teresa “maybe relates to being the parent of a toddler.” He also admitted, “I almost walked off at one point.” Let’s all take a moment to empathize with Andy, being in the middle of Teresa and Melissa’s mutual word salads. I almost feel bad for him. Almost.

He didn’t say what specifically went down, but he gave vague details. “The level of – I won’t even say vitriol – I will say hate Teresa and Melissa [have], it’s, I mean the gloves are off I’ve never seen anything like it, and the way the two of them were going back and forth,” Andy shared.

Andy further said neither woman wanted the other to have the last word in their Battle at Pettysville. He added the reunion was both “monumental and upsetting.” Also “monumental and upsetting” is the fact that we are on year 12 of watching these women fight over the same things.

In addition to Melissa and Teresa doing their old routine, Andy said there are a “ton of new allegations” and “new material to get into” which means they “didn’t spend a ton of time rehashing” Teresa and Melissa’s relationship. It had previously been reported to Page Six that Teresa was “completely unhinged” and “out of control” during the reunion production.

So it sounds like everything is completely normal in Teresa and Melissa’s land. Aside from Melissa, Teresa also is in the middle of determining if Real Housewives of Orange County star Tamra Judge is an enemy. Tammy Sue wants to know if Luis looks better in Nonno’s pajamas or Nonno’s resort wear, and she isn’t afraid to ask. Stay tuned.

TELL US- DO YOU THINK TERESA’S TIME ON THE SHOW HAS ENDED? SHOULD BOTH TERESA AND MELISSA LEAVE? ARE YOU STILL INTERESTED IN TERESA AND MELISSA’S CONSTANT FIGHTING?

Summer House Star Lindsay Hubbard Explains Why Paying $13K A Month In Rent “Is Really Not That Crazy”

An expensive view. What does it cost to own a terrace in New York City? How about a terrace that fits a bar on it? Ask Carl Radke and Lindsay Hubbard. The Summer House couple hosted a housewarming party in their new digs on the April 17, 2023 episode.

Their cast mates were blown away by the decor and the view from the apartment. More shocking was the price tag. Carl and Lindsay revealed that they are paying $13,000 a month to live the high life. Portraying a perfect life, perhaps?

The Summer House couple showed BravoTV around their dream apartment. Carl and Lindsay also responded to the controversy surrounding the price tag.

Paige DeSorbo casually told Gabby Prescod, Samantha Feher, and Ciara Miller that their friends were paying $13,000 a month on rent.

“I’m sorry, what? It’s 13?” Sam said. “Where’s the ring, for $13,000?” Ciara added.

After that episode aired, Lindsay appeared on Watch What Happens Live to explain why she and Carl decided to rent. Andy Cohen asked, “Have you guys considered buying a place instead of renting?”

“Yes, and we talked about this at the [Season 6] reunion,” Lindsay responded. “So the market was so extraordinarily awful last year, and we wanted to move in [together]. COVID prices, they shot down, and then they all of a sudden inflated. The market in New York has just been tough.”

“If you break $13,000 apart, it’s $6,500 a person, which is really only $200 more than what I was paying at my last apartment,” Lindsay added. “OK, so it’s really not that crazy from my last apartment.”

During the Season 6 reunion, the couple was unwilling to make a permanent decision about their living arrangement. At the time, Lindsay said, “We’re kind of like in that stage where we’re trying to figure out do we rent and then buy a house, perhaps in the Hamptons, or do we buy in the city? There’s a lot of factors that go into it.”

The couple is still residing at Rad House in real-time. Perhaps the enviable abode will feature again in Season 7 once Lindsay and Carl get engaged. Maybe something around their autumn 2023 wedding? It’s reportedly being filmed. And if there’s any chance that Lindsay and Danielle Olivera will make up, it’s now.

TELL US- WHAT IS YOUR REACTION TO THE $13K IN RENT? WOULD YOU BUY OR RENT? DO YOU THINK CARL LINDSAY WILL BUY TOGETHER?

Chrisley Knows Best Alum Savannah Chrisley Thrown Off Southwest Flight

The family of Todd Chrisley hasn’t been having an easy time since he and his wife Julie Chrisley began serving time in jail. The former Chrisley Knows Best couple were found guilty of multiple financial crimes and were sentenced to a combined total of 19 years behind bars.

The relatives they left behind are now suffering at the loss of their parents. The family seems unable to accept responsibility and continues denying any wrongdoing. The stress on Todd and Julie’s adult children has been overwhelming, as their daughter Savannah Chrisley now has custody of her brother and niece.

The massive life changes and subsequent inability to accept the truth are clearly impacting everyone. But Savannah’s existence has undoubtedly changed the most. She has admitted to struggling in the aftermath of her parents’ bad choices and now it appears to be impacting Savannah’s skills at maintaining her composure.

She was recently on a Southwest flight, returning home to Tennessee to care for her niece, Chloe Chrisley. Things weren’t going her way and she was unceremoniously bounced off the aircraft. Page Six has the details.

Okay, so Sassy went on a tirade against Southwest after being identified as an “unruly passenger” when she verbally battled a Southwest employee. She was flying from New York to Tennessee when an airline attendant checked her for not checking her bag. Savannah claims he “threw her off the flight” for outright refusing to follow the proper procedures.

As most disgruntled people do, Savannah immediately hopped on her Instagram Stories to share her plight with the world. She made a lovely little video explaining how this one man was just so mean to her. “Alright guys, so I officially know why everyone hates Southwest so much. I mean absolutely hates it — the worst thing in the entire world.” I’m not a frequent flyer, but I was unaware of any pre-existing damnation over Southwest Airlines.

She continued, “This man right here … um, awful. I went to board my flight to get on and he told me that I had to check my bag. I was like, ‘Okay, if you wouldn’t mind, I’m gonna take my bag on the flight, see if I can’t make it fit and if not, I’ll check it.’” Then Savannah proceeded to present this man’s face to the world in her clip.

The staff member, who is not currently in jail for lying to the government, stood his ground and called Sassy an “unruly passenger” for not complying with his request. Then the pilot of the plane stepped in to try and help out.

Allegedly the pilot advised the employee to “calm down.” Which is really not what you want to tell anyone in an aggravated situation. Captain Save A Chrisley also said “that he was going to find a place” for Sassy’s bag on the airplane. Savannah said, “The Southwest attendant literally looked at the pilot — the man who is flying our plane and is responsible for our safety, the most important person in the airline — and said, ‘Stay out of it … ma’am you’re not flying on this flight.’”

Savannah called the guy an “as-hole” and tried explaining she had to get home to her 10-year-old niece. But I’m guessing this man was beyond feeling sympathetic after being labeled an as-hole. She said, “And well, the Southwest attendant said, ‘I don’t care. So Southwest, you’re awful but not going to lie … your pilot was kinda hot.” Also awful? People who lie to their children about being guilty of crimes and as a result, their kids possess a sketchy sense of entitlement.

I’m not saying Savannah was wrong, but the video was pretty extra. Once she settled down, she popped back onto Instagram. Because I guess the family members she would usually whine to are incarcerated.

In Round #2, Sassy tried to cover her butt. “In case another story comes out, after he [the Southwest employee] told me he didn’t care if I got home to my 10-year-old … I told him that I hope he finds a better purpose for his life.” Everyone hopes the same for Savannah. You know, like stop humiliating yourself by continuing to profess the innocence of guilty people.

Then she brought poor Jesus into it. I feel like maybe Jesus wants to be removed from any Chrisley conversations going forward. “Maybe I shouldn’t have said it, but the devil came over me and Jesus did not come out.” To be fair, Jesus would have checked the bag.

Once again, Savannah made an attempt at relatability by mentioning she looked for other hot pilots when waiting for another flight back home. Then she posted a photo of herself looking like she had just returned from cleaning up after a natural disaster. The text on the photo read, “Southwest…. YOU WON” and a time stamp of 1:42 am.

I guess it’s safe to say Sassy will be staying far away from this airline. Hopefully, she makes it through these trying times without having further issues with her oversized baggage or airline employees who are clearly not fans of Chrisley Knows Best.

TELL US- WHO WAS RIGHT – SAVANNAH OR THE EMPLOYEE? DO YOU THINK SAVANNAH SHOULD HAVE BEEN KICKED OFF THE FLIGHT? DO YOU BELIEVE SHE WAS “UNRULY”?

Royal Family Reportedly “Delighted” Meghan Markle Is Not Attending The Coronation

After months of speculation, Buckingham Palace finally confirmed the RSVP response from the Sussex camp. Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, will be representing his family at the coronation of his father, King Charles III. The event is due to take place on May 6, 2023. And in true fashion to the soap opera drama that has plagued the royal family the past several years, the weeks leading to the coronation have been nothing short of dramatic.

There was Prince Harry’s request for an apology, the late RSVP response, and the supposed “demands” about seating and balcony appearances. Of course, most of this was speculation and quotes from “insiders.” How much of this chatter was fabricated? A Buckingham Palace PR stunt perhaps? Certainly, Meghan Markle and Harry Windsor claimed the institution is well-versed in media spin. Stassi Schroeder can relate.

Yet some media figures are trusted for their insight and connections to the royal family. Tom Bower is one such individual. Page Six recently interviewed the former BBC reporter and author of the carefully researched book Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the War Between the Windsors.

“I think everyone’s delighted she’s not coming,” Tom opined about the royal family’s reaction. The author then suggested the former Suits actress was deterred from coming. After all, adherence to protocol and family hierarchy never seemed like the Duchess of Sussex’s strong suit.

“They made sure that she wasn’t going to come by making sure that she was told she’d have to curtsy three times, that she wouldn’t be in the spotlight, that she wouldn’t play any part in the whole thing and that if she came, they’d be put in row 54 in the back behind the column,” he added.

The official statement regarding Harry’s attendance was issued on April 12, 2023. It reads as follows. “Buckingham Palace is pleased to confirm that the Duke of Sussex will attend the coronation service at Westminster Abbey on May 6. The Duchess of Sussex will remain in California with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.”

The couple’s eldest child, Archie, will turn 4 years old on the same day that his grandfather is crowned King. Some in the media speculated that the family would come to England together and celebrate the birthday between events. Just as they had done for Lilibet during the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in 2022.

Yet, in a previous article, Page Six previously reported that Meghan reasoned it would be “inauthentic” to go given the current state of the family relations. “They had to make a decision that felt genuine and authentic, especially after everything that has been said and all the things that have gone down,” an insider for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex said.

“The words that Harry and Meghan have said about the importance of their family are lining up with their actions,” the insider continued. “They care about their family, so Meghan is going to stay [in California] and Harry is going to support his dad.”

This is what’s been described as the best compromise for all involved. Prince Harry attends the event in support of his father, while Meghan cares for the children at their Montecito, California home.

Indeed, the rift between the Sussexes and the royal family seems beyond repair. The couple left their royal duties in 2020 in an attempt to regain control over their lives. Since then, they have made millions speaking out against the monarchy in books, podcasts, Netflix documentaries, and interviews. Bethenny Frankel called it a “money grab.” All that’s missing is a stint on Real Housewives.

Their interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021 was the beginning of it all. Meghan revealed “very clear” suicidal thoughts from the treatment she received from her in-laws. Worse, she was pregnant with Archie at the time. “I just didn’t want to be alive anymore,” Meghan recalled.

She continued, “I would sit up at night, and I was just like, ‘I don’t understand how all of this is being churned out.'” Both the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have spoken out against the British media. They claim they were victims of smear campaigns orchestrated between the Palace and news outlets. Harry and Meghan expected to be spared this ill-treatment.

Perhaps skipping the event gives Meghan control of her narrative. She can avoid negative press coverage, as well as the family that allegedly drove her to near-suicide. Harry will reportedly be jetting back to California after the event to be with Archie on his birthday.

One other notable ex-royal will not be attending. Sarah Ferguson, the ex-wife of Prince Andrew didn’t make the guest list. Yet she is taking it graciously in stride.

“You can’t have it both ways. You mustn’t sit on the fence,” the Duchess of York said on Good Morning Britain recently. “You’re either in or out, but don’t muck around.”

Interestingly, Harry and Meghan did attend two major royal events prior to the coronation. They were present at the late Queen’s funeral, as well as her Platinum Jubilee. They were met with audible booing from the public at that celebration. This time, Prince Harry will face it alone. And it’s the first time he will be seeing his family since his TMI memoir, Spare, was released.

Real Housewives Of New Jersey Star Teresa Giudice “Was Out of Control” At Season 13 Reunion Taping

She may not have flipped a table, but Teresa Giudice was on fire at the Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 13 reunion.

According to Page Six, sources revealed that Teresa was “completely unhinged” and “out of control” while filming the reunion last week. Fans know that Teresa has feuded all season with her brother, Joe Gorga, and his wife, Melissa Gorga. The family has never seen eye-to-eye, and everything is coming to a head this season.

Insiders near production said Teresa was “nastier than ever” and “cursing” a lot. They also revealed the RHONJ OG had a heated argument with Margaret Josephs, which resulted in Teresa calling her a “f—king whore.”

Margaret and Teresa haven’t been on the best terms in recent years, either. Last season, Teresa emptied an entire table of food and drinks on Margaret after questioning her relationship with her then-boyfriend, Luis Ruelas. At the time, Dolores Catania teased the moment was so epic that it topped Teresa’s table flip from Season 1.

“Teresa has an epic moment that takes the table flip and, I would consider that like Pre-K,” she said. Even though Teresa and Margaret have attempted to move forward, their issues run deep. From Teresa encouraging Danielle Staub to pull Marge’s hair to Margaret repeating terrible rumors, it’s no surprise their reunion beef was deep.

Per sources, Teresa was “very unhappy” and “mad at the world” during the taping. They also revealed that host and long-time executive producer Andy Cohen seemed “frustrated with her the entire time.”

However, another insider claimed that’s not the case. Andy wasn’t “any more frustrated with her than with the entire situation as a whole,” they said. Apparently, Teresa was only activated when her “family dynamics” were brought up. In my head, I can picture Teresa screaming, “Don’t bring up my family,” during the early Jersey reunion days.

Since filming, and maybe even BravoCon 2022, Teresa hasn’t spoken to the Gorgas. In September, the reality star said there was no possibility of them reconciling again. In February 2023, Dolores appeared on Watch What Happens Live and seemingly supported her decision.

“I just think it’s time for them to really part ways. I do,” she said. “If there’s no peace in their life being together, then I think it’s time.”

As for the family at the reunion, a source said this was the first time they would be face-to-face. Melissa said she wanted to make things right with her sister-in-law in March. But as we know, reunions can stir up emotion—often causing further damage.

For now, we’ll wait until the trailer drops to see what went down during the taping. Until then, keep watching RHONJ with us to see what ride this family will take us on next.

TELL US – DO YOU THINK TERESA WAS REALLY UNHINGED AT THE REUNION? DO YOU WANT TO SEE THE GORGAS AND GIUDICES MAKE AMENDS? WHO WOULD YOU LIKE TO RETURN TO NEXT SEASON: TERESA OR MELISSA?
