Andy Cohen Responds to Discussion Surrounding RHOSLC Season 4 Reunion Seating Chart

With any Real Housewives reunion seating chart, there’s going to be some level of controversy. Bravo fans are some of the most opinionated in the world, and they’ll ride or die for their favorite stars.

So, when the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 4 reunion seating chart came out, fans had plenty of thoughts to share. A lot of the discussion online centered around Monica Garcia, who was seated just to the right of Andy Cohen.

Monica’s seating spurred a minor debate among RHOSLC fans. Some thought it wasn’t kosher to put a newbie in the top spot. Others argued that Monica deserved the seat more than anyone. So, Andy decided to put in his two cents.

Monica isn’t the first newbie with top-billing

On his SiriusXM show, Radio Andy, the host addressed the discussion surrounding Monica’s reunion seat. “A lot of buzz online yesterday wondering because Bravo put out the seating chart for the reunion and Monica was sitting next to me and there was a lot of conversation about, ‘Has there ever been a first-season Housewife sitting next to me at the reunion?’

“There have been quite a few,” he said. Andy named multiple Housewives who’d been given the first chair at their first reunions, including Marlo Hampton, Shannon Beador, and Kenya Moore among others. Andy specifically recalled, “In 2014, this is the one I always remember, Kristen Taekman sat next to me on her first season of RHONY.”

When the SiriusXM clip made it to YouTube, discussion carried on in the comments. One fan wrote, “Monica ABSOLUTELY deserves the first chair. For sure! So far, most of the season, has her at the center.” Of course, others argued the opposite, with one saying, “Her whole story is very manufactured & inauthentic.”

Real Housewives of Salt Lake City continues Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.

Tori Spelling Facing Huge Tax Liens Amid Personal Struggles

If you thought your 2023 was rough, just know that Tori Spelling’s year has probably been worse. Not only have financial issues plagued her family, but she and her longtime husband Dean McDermott separated earlier this year. Tori and Dean share five kids, and they also had to flee their home after uncovering an extreme mold infestation. Truly, it’s been one thing after another. Then comes the tax.

Unfortunately for Tori, she can add one more thing to her unlucky list. According to The Blast, the former Beverly Hills, 90210 actress just got hit with some hefty tax liens.

Tax trouble for Tori

Just in time for the holidays, court documents revealed that the State of California Franchise Tax Board filed several liens against Tori. The Golden State said she owes nearly $96,000 in unpaid taxes. The first lien is a result of unpaid taxes spanning from 2017 to 2019, totaling $59,049.02. The second lien was for $36,717.11 in unpaid taxes from 2021.

The State of California filed the lien against Tori’s Calabasas home. They made it clear that fees and interest will continue to mount up until the debt is fully paid off.

Unfortunately, this isn’t Tori’s first time facing tax liens. She and Dean were previously slapped with state and federal tax liens in 2016, 2017, and 2018 totaling nearly $1 million. They even had a $324 New York City state tax warrant.

Clearly, Tori is struggling to stay afloat. Meanwhile, her mother Candy Spelling has an estimated net worth of $600 million thanks to what she inherited from her late husband Aaron Spelling. In a recent interview, Dean called out his mother-in-law for not being more supportive of her struggling kids.

“It’s your daughter. It’s your flesh and blood and it’s your grandbabies,” Dean said. “And for someone who is so blessed to have so much, it would be really nice for her to share with her daughter.”

When Aaron passed away, Candy received millions and millions of dollars. Tori got $800,000. When discussing Candy’s wealth, Dean said that Tori doesn’t feel that she’s owed any money. But with these liens stacking up, it probably would be nice to have a little bit of a lifeline.

Love Island Games: Could Callum and Liberty Get Together After the Show?

It’s not a game anymore. For the majority of Love Island Games, contestant Callum Hole was paired with Liberty Poole of Love Island UK, and it was obvious that the fans wanted the pair to be more than friends. Unfortunately, according to Callum, there just wasn’t a romantic connection.

A day after the finale, he told The Messenger, “She is one of the nicest girls I’ve ever met. She’s such a beautiful girl. But there just no spark there for me that I need.”

He added, “Don’t get me wrong. The old Callum would have still had a rip for the sake of having a rip in there,” he explained. “But I was like, ‘No, she’s actually such a nice girl. I don’t want to f*ck her over.’ I’m actually, for once, like, ‘I’m just going to be your friend, and we’re going to leave here on good terms,’” he said.

In the end, he shared that jeopardizing their friendship for just a bit of fun wasn’t worth it. Sounds like he’s done a lot of growing up.

When he refers to the “old Callum,” he means the Callum who made his first reality TV appearance on Love Island Australia back in Season 4. During his tenure, he coupled up with five different girls and ultimately finished in second place with partner Madeline Wilcox, whom he split up with shortly after due to the challenges of their long-distance relationship.

A love connection

In Love Island Games, he found that spark he was looking for with Deb Chubb, a late addition to the show from Love Island USA. And although they will definitely have to face the challenges of an even longer-distance relationship (California to Australia), Callum says he and Deb are willing to give it a go. He even said he plans on spending a lot of time stateside in 2024.

“We’re just taking it as it comes,” he explained. “She’s such a relaxed and chill person. We’ll see what happens. I don’t think we’re gonna put any pressure on it. If it works out, it works out.”

And as for Callum, this won’t be the last time we’ll be seeing him on TV. He said he’ll soon be starring in three different shows if everything goes according to his plan. Guess, we’ll have to wait and see.

Love Island Games Season 1 is streaming on Peacock.

TELL US – DO YOU THINK CALLUM WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER PAIRED WITH LIBERTY? THINK HE CAN MAKE IT WORK WITH DEB?
