Bombshell Moments from Part II of the Vanderpump Rules Reunion (Peacock Extended Version)

Part II of the explosive Vanderpump Rules reunion aired on Wednesday, May 31 on Bravo and an extended version of the episode was released on Peacock on June 1. Viewers were treated to even more jaw-dropping drama. In case you missed it, here are a few of the biggest bombshells from the episode.

Why Is Tom Sandoval Bringing Lala’s IUD Into This?

One moment from the Vanderpump Rules reunion part II that caught fans’ attention was when Tom Sandoval said Lala Kent chose to remove her IUD after she discovered their former co-star Stassi Schroeder was pregnant. “You pulled your IUD the day you found out Stassi was pregnant,” Sandoval said during a heated argument between him and Lala. Fans reacted to Sandoval’s claim on Twitter, calling the statement “gross” and “none of his business.”

After the Vanderpump Rules reunion aired, Lala took to her Instagram Story to share her thoughts on Sandoval’s comment. “Tonight is the second time I have seen Sandoval diminish the conception of my beautiful, magical daughter. I’m disgusted,” she said. “It makes me sit here and question who the f*** raised you.” Lala then clarified that she missed Sandoval’s comment while filming the reunion. “I’m so glad that I did not hear that at the reunion,” she said on Instagram. “These mama bear paws would’ve mauled the f*** out of him.”

During the cast’s lunch breakup at the Vanderpump Rules reunion, Sandoval paid a visit to Raquel Leviss in her trailer. After the two chatted for a bit, Sandoval decided he wanted to talk to Raquel off-camera. “Can we have like a for real break where we’re not, like, being filmed?” Sandoval asked a producer named Patrick. After Patrick told Sandoval he couldn’t speak to Raquel off-camera, the Bravo star became more agitated. “I’m [going to] call a f***ing Lyft to get the f*** out of here,” Sandoval said before shouting at Patrick, “I need a break from filming.”

James Kennedy Atlantic City Drama

Tom Sandoval spent the majority of the Vanderpump Rules reunion in the hot seat, so when the opportunity arose to call out another cast member on their behavior, he took it head-on. During a segment where Lisa Vanderpump was discussing James Kennedy’s drinking, Sandoval interjected. The cover band star said James recently lost him and Schwartz a job in Atlantic City because of his “belligerent” behavior. Sandoval explained that during a gig in Atlantic City, James got too drunk and ended up smacking a waitress on the a**. “You lost us that job,” Sandoval said. “You were s*** faced.”

James did not confirm nor deny the claim during the reunion.

In the Peacock extended version of the Vanderpump Rules reunion, Sandoval revealed he and Ariana Madix hid their relationship issues from the cameras. “We [would] literally be arguing and then as soon as the cameras turned on, it would be like, ‘Hey, honey, I’m home,'” he admitted. The reality star told Andy that Ariana was “strict” about what parts of their relationship she allowed on camera. Ariana denied Sandoval’s claims, noting she has been quite open about her life, discussing everything from her intimacy issues to her mental health.

Scheana Shay Breaks Down Over Her Friendship With Raquel

One of the most heartbreaking moments of the Vanderpump Rules reunion was when Scheana Shay opened up about her fractured relationship with Raquel. Prior to Scandoval, the two were pretty much inseparable on the show. The “Good as Gold” singer defended Raquel on several occasions this season, including having her back after she made out with Schwartz in Mexico, and defending her friend after Lala made a comment about Raquel’s pool party attire. But the friendship came to a halt after Scheana discovered her friend was sleeping with her best friend’s boyfriend.

In the reunion episode, Scheana called the scandal “heartbreaking,” with tears in her eyes. “I did nothing but take of her,” she said, referring to Raquel. “I gave her a home to live in when she didn’t have anywhere to go, I was the sister to her that she didn’t have growing up, I did everything for her. And for her to do this to me, it has taken such a toll on me.”

Kyle Richards Allegedly Wants a Truce in Family Feud With Kathy Hilton

It’s that time of year again! The summer sun is high in the sky and Kyle Richards is ready to make amends with one of her siblings. We have sister Kathy Hilton on standby, ready to receive apologies and compliments on her tequila brand.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills had a toxic Season 12. A cast trip to Aspen ultimately leveled Kathy’s relationship with Kyle. The two haven’t really spoken as a result of Kyle supporting Lisa Rinna in the argument. Kathy was supposed to film Season 13 but her face is on the milk carton and Kim Richards was called in. Now it seems Kyle is ready to play nice with Kathy. Again. Radar has the details.

Kyle ready to reconcile?

Either RHOBH filming has gotten super boring and Kyle has been instructed to rectify her situation with Kathy so she’ll come back, or Kyle is truly ready to bury the hatchet.

Insiders have shared Kyle wants a meeting with Kathy in an effort to smooth things over. Load your potatoes up with caviar and get ready, but don’t expect any filming. The source said Kyle has missed having Kathy in her life and has been attempting to make nice.

But Kathy might not give in so easily after Kyle didn’t have her back in the Rinna showdown. Of course, it was really no surprise. Kyle also didn’t have Kim’s back during her own Rinna showdown. Whatever power Rinna had over Kyle was surely released upon her exit.

The sisters did see each other recently at a family baby shower, but they were on their best behavior. An insider added Kyle has been “begging” Kathy to see her so they can “hash things out.” Between the three siblings, constant peace is rare. Kathy has previously admitted watching Kim and Kyle on the first season of RHOBH was tough due to their conflict.

It would be wonderful for these ladies to get along in a genuine manner, but I’m not sure that is something mortal eyes will ever see. Now that Kyle’s main supporter has been put to pasture, it would be beneficial to get those familial allies back while Kyle defends both her marriage and her waistline in Season 12.

TELL US – DO YOU THINK KYLE AND KATHY WILL MAKE UP? DO YOU THINK KATHY WILL SHOW UP TO FILM SEASON 12?

Teresa Giudice Making ‘Timely’ Payments on Tax Debts Amid New $17K Lien

Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice doesn’t like taxes. It would be safe to say taxes don’t like her either. Fans know her relationship with finances and the government is so rocky, she once received a vacation courtesy of the Feds.

Tre’s debt with Juicy Joe Giudice remains active and with a pending payoff. She has been contributing to it regularly, but she also got married with $10k of hair glued to her head. And now, probably thanks to Melissa Gorga, Tre has been slapped with a lovely new lien. Page Six has the details.

Tre has to pay

Teresa still owes a boatload of money to the government, but don’t worry, she’s well aware of it. So good thing she married a guy with sketchy businesses and no prenup. I’ll take She Learned Absolutely Nothing From Prison for $1000, Alex.

According to Tre’s attorney, she knows about the money she owes and spends anyway is paying it off. He said, “Ms. Giudice has been aware of her tax obligations for years and makes significant timely monthly payments towards her outstanding tax liabilities and will continue to do so until those liabilities do not exist.”

She might want to lay off on the luxury vacations. New court docs state Teresa was notified in early May there is a new tax lien totaling more than $17k. This would be for the tax years of 2020 and 2021.

Sources who are definitely not the Gorgas advised that the lien has been settled but Teresa has open debt from 2014 and 2015 in the amount of $500k. These are both active and the process of repayment is ongoing.

I’m not sure having an extravagant wedding whilst entertaining a remaining balance from the IRS since 2014 was a good idea, but good ideas often seem to elude Teresa. She spent some time in the pokey and upon her release from prison in 2015, she had a tax debt of $261,000.

A payment schedule was made and Tre’s lawyer advised at the time, “Several payments have already been made and every penny owed will be paid pursuant to the agreement.” Unless of course automobiles, clothing, and a new husband delay paying in full.

Clearly some early dirty work by Tre’s evil sister-in-law, because we all know someone has to take the blame.

Real Housewives of Dubai Star Chanel Ayan Going Viral on TikTok

In all honesty, Real Housewives of Dubai is a bit of a mixed bag. From the moment it was announced, it faced criticism. That’s usually par for the course for any new Bravo show, but the criticisms toward RHODubai felt fair, with even Andy Cohen having to say he understood the cause for the critiques.

Once the show aired, many accused it of being uninteresting. Several viewers felt the housewives were trying to clutch onto thin storylines with painful death grips. Even so, in terms of viewership, the first season only did slightly worse than the last season of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.

Regardless, nobody should question Bravo’s ability to catapult someone into the zeitgeist. Such is the case for Chanel Ayan. But much like the show, Chanel is a mixed bag. On the one hand, Andy said he’s never seen anyone like her. On the other hand, Chanel’s been compared to a five-year-old.

Chanel Ayan is TikTok’s latest craze

@nastyaswan ♬ original sound – anastasia

But love her or hate her, it’s undeniable that she’s made a name for herself. That name’s only gotten bigger as Chanel is now the source of a viral TikTok Sound. The Sound was originally mixed in a TikTok by influencer Anastasia Lebedeva. It features a quote from Chanel’s socials where she said, “Never ever, ever, ever, be basic for nobody honey … let them burn!”

The original video received over 300,000 likes, and the Sound has since been mixed in over 26,000 TikToks. The Sound was almost certainly boosted when Sofia Richie took a stab at it. Other popular creators have done their takes on the Sound as well, including Alix Earle, Camila Saracho, and Julia Zeito.

With Chanel’s unique way of speaking, influencer-type personality, and brand of messaging, it’s not entirely shocking one of her soundbites went viral. For all its supposed flaws, audiences can now point to at least one impact RHODubai has had on the cultural discourse.

Real Housewives of Dubai is expected to return before the end of 2023.

RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Season 8, Episode 5 Recap: Snatch Game of Love

Did we just get our first unanimous vote of the season? It took four eliminations, but the remaining cast of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars were all in agreement about sending Darienne Lake packing. It’s sad, because she is one heck of a talented queen. When you’re up against some of the best in the business, however, you cannot afford to make a single mistake.

One contestant who is avoiding mistakes altogether is Jimbo. While she can’t win a lip sync to save her life, she’s got the runways and challenges down. It’s something that the others feel is painting a bit of a target on her back. Which leads into the drama a little later on in the episode…

Everybody say love!

It’s Snatch Game week! More specifically, Snatch Game of Love. Heidi N Closet is taking on Blackbeard the Pirate, for some reason. Meanwhile, Kandy Muse is Renee Graziano, of Mob Wives fame. Going straight for RuPaul’s heart though? That would be Alexis Michelle, opting to take on Bea Arthur. Alexis is a former Snatch Game winner, and she knows she has to go above and beyond to impress. Jimbo feels the same, and will be playing Shirley Temple. A hard one to make funny, you may think. Jaymes Mansfield rounds out the memorable character choices, bringing Jennifer Coolidge to Snatch Game, shockingly, for the first time ever.

The first group is a bit of a bust. Heidi does her best, but it is Jaymes who is carrying the heavy load. Kahanna Montrese doesn’t do a great job as her drag mother, and Drag Race icon, Coco Montrese. Jessica Wild also leaves a lot to be desired as Iris Chacón, but that charisma means we’re smiling throughout anyway.

When it comes to the second group, there are laughs from every angle. Alexis and Jimbo go head to head as frontrunners, but it is the latter who brings it home with some excellent physical comedy. Don’t just use your words, future Drag Racers. Use everything at your disposal!

A premature exit for one queen

Back in the Werkroom the next day, the tea that has been threatening to boil over is finally spilled. Heidi told Jimbo off camera that Kandy is gunning for her. They had a conversation, in which Alexis was involved, when this was apparently said. Kandy confronts Heidi about it, just as Heidi is making peace with Kahanna for making her feel some sort of way during the Snatch Game of Love. The timing couldn’t have been worse.

Heidi asks Alexis to back her up. At first, Alexis says that this did indeed happen. When Kandy questions the exact wording, however, she backs down. This leads to Heidi leaving the Werkroom – for good. She doesn’t like the direction the storyline is going in, and feels the toxicity has gotten too much. Good for her for putting her mental health first.

For what it’s worth, this just seems like a case of semantics. Kandy probably said that if Jimbo was in the bottom and she had the chance to eliminate her, she would consider it. But the wording of “gunning for” Jimbo seemed to be what she had a problem with. Nobody involved was actually lying. They were all just viewing the situation from a different angle. Thankfully, it looks like Kandy, Jimbo, and Heidi are still all good friends away from the show.

Bring it to the runway

As Ru confirmed that Heidi had left the competition – and would not be entered into the Fame Games – the runway for the week got underway. Category is: Ruveal Yourself. Basically, the queens had better bring a ruveal or six to the runway, or they’ll be read for filth!

Thankfully, everybody does a stellar job. Following on from their Snatch Game of Love success, Alexis and Jimbo deliver the most memorable looks of the week. Michelle Visage tells Jaymes that they need to do something a little different the next time they come to the runway. She seems to be getting tired of the same color palette.

When all is said and done, both Kandy and LaLa Ri are safe. Jimbo wins her third challenge in five episodes, while Alexis and Jaymes are both safe. This leaves Kahanna and Jessica in the bottom two. Will Jimbo end her lip sync losing streak against this week’s Lip Sync Assassin? When we see Jasmine Kennedie stand out from behind the stage, it’s not looking good for the bologna-throwing Jimbo.

Five seconds into the lip sync, Jimbo almost falls over. She regains her composure and has a good time, but she stands no chance against the twirls, flips, and kicks of Jasmine. With $20,000 on the line, Jimbo fluffs it once again. Next week’s $30,000 is looking tasty for the queens in the wings, as Ru reveals Jasmine has taken the win.

But – SILENCE! Ru has an announcement to make. She won’t ever stop being blonde. Oh, and nobody is going home this week. Losing Heidi was traumatic enough for Mama Ru. Celebrations! But they can’t last, as the show must go on.

RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 8 continues Fridays on Paramount+ in the US, and WOW Presents Plus in the UK.

RHOA Cast Members Worried About Show Being Recast as Dismal Ratings for Season 15 Continue To Drop

 The Real Housewives franchise is such an industry juggernaut that there’s something strange when one of its iterations flops. Such is the case for Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 15, which seems ludicrous. 14 successful seasons and now the show is flopping?

Well, successful is a relative term. Truth is, RHOA’s viewership has been on the decline for a few years. However, it was only recently that Season 15 saw the lowest viewership in years, with Episode 4 only netting 657,000 viewers.

Yes, the decline has been steady and somewhat expected. Season 12 averaged 1.8 million viewers, Season 13 had 1.25 million, and Season 14 averaged 950,000. Compare this to the days of yore. In Season 7, back in Nene Leakes’ heyday, the show pulled an average of over three million viewers.

Coming soon: Regular Housewives of Atlanta

Unfortunately for the Housewives, they are all too aware of the numbers. An insider close to the cast reported to Radar Online that “They are worried Bravo will pull a recast on them as they did to the cast of Real Housewives of New York. None of them feel safe, even Kandi.”

As many know, RHONY was rebooted with a new cast of younger and more diverse housewives. This hard reset came in the face of declining ratings. While the original RHONY cast was shuffled around and retained jobs in the reality TV space, they made significantly less than they did on their main franchise, and that must be, in part, what the Housewives of Atlanta are worried about.

Ultimately, fans have just found the show boring recently. None of the current cast members engage them presently. Many have called for Andy Cohen to let Nene and Porsha Williams return. But given his complicated dynamic with Nene, that seems unlikely. For now, RHOA might have to flounder before it can swim again, one way or another.

Real Housewives of Atlanta continues Sundays at 8/7c on Bravo.

Vanderpump Rules Reunion Viewers ‘Scared’ of Raquel Leviss

Remember back to a simpler time, before the age of Scandoval? I feel like this Vanderpump Rules drama will never end. Special thanks to Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss for taking over our lives with this annoying cheating scandal.

During the second part of the reunion, nearly everyone was emotional. Except for one cast member who watched the action on television in a trailer. Raquel claimed that Scheana Shay punched her, which Scheana denied. So, Raquel and Scheana had to stay far apart due to that pesky restraining order. And when Raquel graced the stage, she was calm.

Why was Raquel so stoic?

While all her co-stars were crying and shouting, Raquel seemed detached. And fans on Twitter shared their thoughts about the pageant queen’s reactions.

It freaks me out how Raquel has ZERO emotions seeing this entire thing unfold in front of her. No compassion or empathy? Like it’s legit scary how frigid and detached she seems ? what do y’all think is the big reveal next week that even some of the cast doesn’t know? #PumpRules pic.twitter.com/sMh3j1FLFh

— Daily Bravo ? (@dailybravomail) June 1, 2023

A fan account tweeted, “It freaks me out how Raquel has ZERO emotions seeing this entire thing unfold in front of her. No compassion or empathy? Like it’s legit scary how frigid and detached she seems.”

It’s also wild to see everyone getting SO emotional: Tom, Ariana and Scheana are crying, James can’t stay in his chair, Schwartz is taking Xannies — literally everyone BUT Raquel shows emotion… she’s just a totally unfazed shell… scary ? #PumpRules #pumprulesreunion pic.twitter.com/RVtbPUvgmI

— morgan mackenzie evans (@themizfactor) June 1, 2023

Another follower posted, “It’s also wild to see everyone getting SO emotional: Tom [Sandoval], Ariana [Madix], and Scheana [Shay] are crying, James [Kennedy] can’t stay in his chair, [Tom] Schwartz is taking Xannies — literally everyone BUT Raquel shows emotion… she’s just a totally unfazed shell… scary.”

No tears for Scheana

Many fans had a strong reaction to Scheana crying about the restraining order. After all, Raquel was Scheana’s bestie. She even gave Raquel a place to live after her split from James. So, Raquel repaid her by having sex all over the place. Ick!

But Scheana was emotional about her feelings for Raquel, and how she felt protective towards her. Raquel didn’t react to her former friend crying and stated that perhaps she should have written Scheana a note.

Scheana is literally having a breakdown over how betrayed she is, and all Raquel can do is smile and make jokes. Rawt! #pumprules pic.twitter.com/YHsw52vjrE

— Queens of Bravo (@queensofbravo) June 1, 2023

“Scheana is literally having a breakdown over how betrayed she is, and all Raquel can do is smile and make jokes. Rawt!” tweeted the Queens of Bravo account.  

After taping the Pump Rules reunion, Raquel entered a mental health treatment facility for a long-term program geared towards dealing with trauma.  

Vanderpump Rules Season 10 concludes with the final part of the reunion on Wednesday, June 7 at 9/8c on Bravo.
