Welcome to the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 14, Episode 1 recap. During the Season 13 reunion, many of the ladies’ friendships were left dangling by a thread. Sutton had a medical emergency and was sent to the hospital. Thankfully, she was fine.

Meanwhile, Kyle was grilled about her separation from her husband, Mauricio Umansky, and her friendship with musician Morgan Wade. Plus, the rift between Dorit and Kyle grew wider. Remember how Dorit read Kyle’s text message to her on camera and called it “manipulative?” Well, that was just the tip of the iceberg for Kyle and Dorit.

In addition, Dorit claimed that her marriage to her husband, PK Kemsley, was in a great place because he had become sober. Well, let’s just say that Season 14 picked up with a new reality for Dorit. Here’s what happened in RHOBH Season 14, Episode 1: “Grace Time is Over.”

Sutton decided to throw a Surrealism party inspired by the artist Salvador Dali. After last season, Sutton thought that she was in a better place with Kyle. Plus, Dorit revealed to Erika that she and PK had separated. When the couple shared an announcement on Instagram, the RHOBH cast was shocked.

At Sutton’s wild party, newbie Bozoma Saint John nearly stole the show. In an emotional moment, Kyle revealed that she was questioning her sexuality. Meanwhile, Dorit and the disk on her head were determined to have the last word with Kyle. And finally, Kathy let her down (literally.)

Dorit shares life-changing news with Erika in the RHOBH Season 14 premiere

Erika was shocked and started to cry when Dorit told her she and PK had separated. Dorit admitted that they had a couple of rough years and that PK started to drink more and more. “I don’t want that toxic energy around small children,” she told Erika, referring to her two children with PK. So, what caused the split? There was no infidelity. The couple was just arguing non-stop.

Still, Dorit found it odd that she confided in Erika first, especially after Erika’s BravoCon prediction that Dorit’s marriage would end. Eventually, Dorit realized it was just a shady game, and Erika gave a shady response. We’re glad to leave that mess in the past.

Kyle’s life has changed tremendously. Both Mauricio and her daughter, Alexia Umansky, moved out. In addition, Kyle hasn’t seen Dorit since the Season 13 reunion, which was four months prior. According to Kyle, Dorit tried to publicly shame her. First, she sided with her sister, Kathy Hilton, at the Season 12 reunion. Then at BravoCon, Kyle was embarrassed by Dorit during a funny game.

It is finally clear where the issues started between this duo. Kyle feels that Dorit always talks, but never listens, while Dorit calls Kyle “a master manipulator.” WOW. These ladies are coming in hot…

Cue the friendship between Dorit and Kathy

When PK and Dorit’s announcement hit, Dorit was headed to Kathy’s house with a cigarette in-hand. It was a cinematic moment before the ad break. At home, Dorit found Kathy hooked up to IVs, slurping a drink while her glam team worked on her. As one does.

Of course, Dorit wasted no time spilling the tea. PK has a sober coach now because he is “a full-blown alcoholic.” Surprisingly, Dorit admitted that she wanted to meet somewhere in the middle, but there were no shades of gray in PK’s world. So, it was PK who wanted to separate.

However, Dorit still loves him, but a lot of work has to be done to save their marriage. At first glance, it doesn’t seem like PK wants to put the work in. Dorit stated that the worst-case scenario is that they are besties who co-parent their kids. And Dorit noted that Kathy supports her, while Kyle has “iced” her out.

I love a good theme, and Sutton has thrown an epic party. The guests were asked to come in their best Dali-inspired fashion. There is a woman with three faces on stilts and swimmers in the pool with umbrellas. And the décor is outrageous. Plus, there is an alpaca and a monkey.

Of course, Sutton is wearing a butterfly headpiece with antlers reminiscent of a work by Dali. And Sutton’s bestie, actress Jennifer Tilly, is wearing a black dress with swan heads on her dress and her headpiece. She is officially a friend of the cast this season. Naturally, Dorit has a fishtail dress and a giant disk on her head.

When Bozoma arrived, she wore a fabulous white dress with a train. Her assistant arranged it behind her as she entered. Now that is how to slay an entrance! Of course, Sutton and Bozoma (aka Boz) are such good friends that Sutton calls her “the Boss.”

I was surprised that Boz and Dorit bonded quickly. First, it was over fashion. Then Dorit shared about her separation, and it resonated with Boz because she is a widow. Boz and her husband decided to separate after 10 years of marriage, but when he received a cancer diagnosis, they reconciled.

According to Boz, she can tell immediately if she vibes with a person, and she thinks that Dorit “is fantastic.”

Kyle is vulnerable with Erika and Garcelle

Kudos to Garcelle. Her career has gone into overdrive. She is executive producing two movies and acting in one of them. At that moment, Kyle decided to be open with Garcelle and Erika about the tabloid stories about her and Morgan. Kyle won’t use her name, because Kyle can only speak for herself. It’s an odd position to take after Morgan starred in Season 13.

While she and Morgan are not together, Garcelle pointed out the obvious. The steamy video that they made for Morgan’s song just amped up the interest and speculation about them. Kyle can’t put all the blame on the press. However, the rumors had an interesting effect on Kyle. Finally, she explained that she told her daughters that she was questioning her sexuality.

In her confessional, Kyle said through tears, “I didn’t want them to be embarrassed by me. I didn’t want them to be angry at me.” Thankfully, Kyle’s worries were unfounded. Her daughters said that there was nothing that she could do to make them stop loving her. I love seeing this raw and vulnerable Kyle.

Is it past Kathy’s bedtime?

Then Kathy rolled in, wearing what looked like a mint-green nightgown with rhinestones, and a crown on her head. She approached the table and focused on Boz immediately. Kathy told her that she knew who she was and was happy to meet her. Then she called her, “Boss.”

“No, it’s Boz,” the newbie responded. Kathy replied, “No, it’s Boss” and pointed to herself. Boz realized she was giving her a compliment, because of her incredible career and achievements. But still, Kathy needs to work on her delivery.

Next, Kathy ordered Kyle to help her remove her crown and extensions because she was too hot. Someone get her a box fan! Boz was bewildered. She couldn’t believe that Kathy was pulling out her extensions at a lavish party and leaving them on chairs.

A spicy Dorit takes on Kyle

When Kyle asked to speak with Dorit, she got more than she bargained for. Dorit told Kyle that her remarks about Dorit exaggerating their friendship was just the final straw. Then Dorit told Kyle that she was “made to feel like I have to reevaluate whether or not we were friends.”

Naturally, Kyle didn’t know how to handle this activated Dorit. “What’s happened to you? Why are you doing that?” Kyle asked.

“I’m fed up, Kyle. And this is the kind of bullsh*t that I’m talking about,” she stated. Then Dorit said they had to be “honest” and talk about real feelings.

Once again, Kyle was shocked and couldn’t understand why Dorit was acting this way. “Because I’m not going to put up with your sh*t anymore, Kyle,” Dorit said.

Then we saw the dreaded, “To Be Continued!” This is gonna be one heck of a season!

Season 14 of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs on November 19 at 8/7c on Bravo.

Stassi Schroeder Lands Seven-Figure Podcast Deal with PodcastOne

It’s probably safe to say that Stassi Schroeder has fully rebounded from her brush with cancellation. First, the Vanderpump Rules alum scored her own Hulu series. Now, she just landed a lucrative podcast deal with PodcastOne. It’s not too shabby for a girl with a racist controversy under her belt.

Stassi has been hosting her self-named podcast for years, but she’s the latest reality star to take their show to PodcastOne. They’re the network behind over 200 podcasts, including ones from Bravolebrities like Heather Dubrow and Melissa Gorga. Despite Stassi’s questionable past, the network is welcoming her with open arms with the rest of their roster.

A post shared by PodcastOne (@podcastone)

It’s been about four years since Bravo gave Stassi the boot from Vanderpump Rules. She and Kristen Doute were both fired for filing a false police report against Faith Stowers. Faith wound up suing Bravo for racial discrimination, and Stassi’s brand went down the toilet.

Apparently, four years was long enough to leave Stassi on ice. This year, she’s been catapulted back into the public eye through multiple avenues. In a press release, PodcastOne celebrated its acquisition of Stassi’s podcast, which includes a seven-figure, multiyear deal.

“We are excited to welcome Stassi and her podcast to our network,” said PodcastOne’s President and Co-Founder Kit Gray. “Her ability to connect with women through relatable content and genuine conversations makes her a powerful voice in the podcasting landscape.”

In addition to distributing Stassi’s show, PodcastOne hopes to integrate her brand across multiple levels of their business. The company is going all-in on its Stassi investment with plans to explore “live shows, merchandising, and adaptations.”

For longtime fans of Stassi’s podcast, the mother of two promised her show would introduce even more “authentic conversations.” New fans can tune in to hear her hot takes on relationships, pop culture, and beyond. These are million-dollar conversations, folks.

Between the podcast deal and Stassi’s new television opportunities, it’s clear that she’s getting a second chance. Let’s hope she doesn’t screw it up.

Andy Cohen Reveals Teresa Giudice Moment That ‘Annoyed’ Him the Most

Photo Credit: Charles Sykes/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images

Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice and Bravo’s national treasure Andy Cohen’s history is … interesting. At times, Andy seems to adore Teresa’s mispronunciations and epic fails on his show, Watch What Happens Live. However, he isn’t a fan of her screaming over him at the RHONJ reunions. Still, Andy seems to have a special place in his heart for the Jersey mom and cookbook author.

Andy Cohen’s reason for being upset at Teresa Giudice was a surprise

Of course, the same can’t be said for Teresa and her sister-in-law, Melissa Gorga. OG Teresa blocked Melissa and is now missing out on Melissa’s cooking videos on TikTok. Meanwhile, Teresa is also starring in House of Villains. So, has Teresa found her people? Possibly. She certainly seems to be embracing her inner villain.

Recently, Teresa was a guest on WWHL. As usual, Teresa was playing a game and Andy asked her a hilarious question. Which act was “more villainous:” pushing him at the Season 2 RHONJ reunion, or grabbing his cue cards at the Season 8 reunion? “I mean, it’s me,” Teresa said. Well, before Teresa could dazzle us with more commentary, Andy shared his feelings about the two incidents.

“You know which one I was more annoyed by, funnily enough?” Andy remarked. “The ripping the cards out of my hand. I didn’t care about the pushing.” Of course, Teresa apologized for her actions.

“It was a moment in time. You were mad,” Andy said. “You were so mad. Oh, boy.” I’m actually surprised that Andy didn’t pick Teresa pushing him. She shoved him like he was a rag doll! However, Andy didn’t mind the fact that Teresa pushing him put him on the map. “It was so crazy, people were saying my name. It was like that push actually kind of it made me famous,” Andy previously stated.

Well, RHONJ fans are still waiting to hear about how the show will move forward. And whether that means Teresa will once again be part of the Jersey cast.

Tom Sandoval and Girlfriend Victoria Lee Robinson Address Move-in Rumors

The future of Vanderpump Rules might be uncertain, but the future for Tom Sandoval and his girlfriend, Victoria Lee Robinson seems bright. At least, that’s what they’re leading us to believe. The two allegedly plan to move in together as we head into a new year.

The lovebirds started dating at the beginning of 2024, but two lingering items might stifle their cohabitation plans. First of all, Tom’s job security is unclear with the future of VPR still undecided. Plus, he’s still entangled in a battle with Ariana Madix over their shared home. All of that baggage might make moving a little tricky, but they’re optimistic about their future.

A new chapter for Tom Sandoval and Victoria Lee Robinson

Victoria and Tom have been dancing around the idea of getting a place over the last few weeks. During a red carpet interview last month, Victoria said they were “about to move in” together. In a new interview with Us Weekly, they expanded on those plans.

“We’re working on it. We’re in the middle of it right now,” Victoria told the outlet.

Meanwhile, Sandoval was a bit more coy about their plans. Surely, that’s not a red flag from the walking red flag himself.

“Yeah, we’re working on it. We don’t want to say too much, but yeah, we’re working on it,” Tom added.

When pressed for details, Tom said we’d have to wait and see what happens next. He’s probably doing the same thing because after he broke up with Ariana, the future of their shared home went into limbo. She wanted to sell it, but Tom wanted to buy her out and keep the property for himself. Their unwillingness to compromise meant they shared the same living space for months.

Last month, Tom shared on his podcast that the house was finally “going on the market,” which means they’re finally going to move forward from that house of horrors. Once that’s taken care of, he’ll have a clean slate to start his new life with Victoria. That is, unless Vanderpump Rules gets canceled and he loses a big chunk of income.

TELL US – DO YOU PREDICT TOM AND VICTORIA WILL MOVE IN TOGETHER NEXT YEAR, OR DO YOU THINK IT’S TOO SOON FOR THEM TO MAKE THAT STEP?

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5, Episode 7 Recap: A Potential Collision on Parsifal III

Photo Credit: Fred Jagueneau/Bravo via Getty Images

We’re back with the recap for Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5, Episode 7. Last week, Gary tried to cool his jets with the female crew members, but Danni continued to flirt with him. Daisy questioned some of the chef’s choices for food presentation as not being up to super yacht standards, but when she tried to advise him, he got defensive. And Gary’s reaching the end of his yacht rope with Emma’s work ethic and seeming lack of experience. Here’s exactly what went down in BDSY Season 5, Episode 7: “My Super Sideways Sixteen.”

What happened in Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5, Episode 7?

In this week’s episode, Daisy and Captain Glenn both urge Chef to step up his game, and he finally takes their advice to heart. On the crew night out, Danni tries to flirt with Keith, but he’s not interested in Gary’s sloppy seconds, much to her dismay. Gary has a chat with Emma about her lack of intiative and asks if she really wants to be here. And the Parsifal III is endangered by another boat that drifts too close late at night, causing Gary to take emergency measures. Here are some of the highlights from BDSY Season 5, Episode 7.

After the guests say goodbye, the crew gathers in the lounge for the tip meeting. Captain Glenn has nothing but praise for the deck crew, as well as the interior crew. But he has some suggestions for Cloyce, who doesn’t think he needs any improvement.

“For the next charter, I want you to focus on prepping better,” Glenn says. “And I want you to think outside of the box. There’s a very high standard … I always want to keep pushing higher.”

“I don’t think of myself as being one of those ego-driven chefs,” Cloyce interviews. “But Daisy and Glenn’s constructive criticism’s kind of ruining my whole day. I would much prefer to not be in this situation.”

Glenn says they’re picking up their next charter tomorrow. “Tonight is a school night,” he warns. So apparently, they can still go out, but can’t get too wild.

When the Gary, Cloyce, and Daisy meet with Glenn for the crew meeting, they find out that the next charter will be a family celebrating their daughter’s 16th birthday. For Alana’s Sweet Sixteen, the primaries are requesting a formal white-glove service dinner. Chef is really going to have to step it up for this one.

Indeed, Glenn urges Cloyce to go “above and beyond for Alana’s birthday.” No family style dinners, please.

At dinner, Danni sits next to Keith and tries to flirt with him, but he’s kind of over it. “Whatever this is with Danni, it’s starting to feel like work and not fun,” he interviews.

“Learning that Danni has kissed Gary,” he adds, “it’s not banter like it was at the beginning. It’s becoming something weird. I’m not super keen on it.”

Meanwhile, Cloyce is busy planning his menu for tomorrow night. Hopefully, he’ll be able to pull off something fabulous and recover everyone’s respect.

“I feel like Cloyce has really taken my feedback on board,” Daisy says in a confessional. “He is really putting a big effort in.”

In fact, when the crew returns to the boat after dinner, Cloyce goes straight to the galley. Rather than getting some rest, he’s making squid ink ravioli.

After a dip in the hot tub, Keith and Danni stretch out in deck chairs on the bow.

“Don’t look at me like that,” Keith tells her. “You had your chance.”

“What do you mean?” she asks.

“Honestly, I’ll tell you right now,” he responds. “If you hadn’t hooked up with Gary … I don’t want to get involved in anything weird.”

In an interview, Danni says, “I f*cking hate rejection. I wouldn’t have kissed Gary if it didn’t take [Keith] this f*cking long to kiss me. Whatever.”

Danni decides to just “move on to the next, like it never happened. It’s f*cking embarrassing.”

When she hears Danni talking about getting rejected by Keith, Daisy says, “You didn’t just kiss anyone. You kissed his roommate and his boss … I don’t think him feeling insecure is actually that weird.”

Gary tries to get Emma to take some initiative

“Hey, Glenn, can we have a chat?” Gary asks. “How do you teach initiative?”

He says that Emma stands around a lot, waiting around to be told what to do. “She’s having a smoke, then she’s having a tea. Then she’s on her phone.”

“Emma’s an excuse-maker,” Gary interviews. “There’s always a reason behind it not being done.”

“If we don’t see a massive improvement today,” Glenn decides, “I’m going to have to start looking for somebody else.”

But as the guests get out of the water and use the on-deck shower, Emma just stands and watches. Meanwhile, Gary’s handing out towels.

When everyone goes below, he asks Emma, “Are you happy to be here, Em?”

She assures him that she is and asks, “Why?”

“To be honest with you, I see a lack of urgency,” he says. “A lot of waiting around and watching. And if I ask you to do things, you’re like, ‘No, I can’t do it.’ Then you go for a coffee, and then it’s a cigarette, then it’s another coffee … It just seems like you don’t really want to be here.”

“I think it’s really unfair that you’re putting all this on me,” Emma responds.

“It’s just what I’ve noticed,” Gary responds. “We’re all a team here, and it feels like we’re picking up a lot of slack. That’s why I’m telling you this now, so you can improve.”

“Noted,” she replies, wiping away tears behind her sunglasses.

Reporting back to Glenn, Gary says, “I tried to speak to her in the nicest way possible, and then she said I was being unfair to her … She did not take it well.”

“Just let her simmer down a little bit,” Glenn advises. “We’ll see what happens in the next couple of days.”

Another boat drifts too close for comfort

Cloyce really steps up his game for dinner. Glenn is impressed, as are the guests. He even baked a cake from scratch for dessert! No more family-style service.

“I knew Cloyce had it in him,” Daisy says in a confessional. “This is what he was supposed to be doing. This is fantastic. Now all he needs to do is keep it up the rest of the season, and we’re on the home stretch.”

The primaries are going in to a club in Ibiza at midnight. Gary tells Keith to be on alert that he’s going to have to pick them up in the tender at 2:30 when they return.

Shortly after 2:00, Keith gets back in the tender to go pick up the guests. Danni’s still working, and the birthday girl’s in the hot tub with her friend.

Gary comes up on deck, and suddenly runs down the side of the boat. “Can you go get Glenn?” he shouts as he runs toward the bow. “Oh, for f*ck’s sake!”

Apparently, another boat slipped it’s anchor and is drifting toward the Parsifal III. That could be a horrible situation if they collide. I’m just glad Gary was on watch and not Emma. She would probably be drinking tea or napping.

“Can you get Emma, too?” Gary yells, as he grabs a fender and prepares to try to avoid a collision.

“Hello!” he shouts, as the other boat gets closer and closer. A very scary situation, indeed.

TO BE CONTINUED…

Below Deck Sailing Yacht airs Mondays at 9/8c on Bravo.
