Both Tamra and Vicki were demoted and chose to walk when they weren’t offered an orange. In fact, Tamra was only offered a three-episode arc to finish out her story. Ouch!
According to Reality Blurb!, Dave Quinn appeared on Tamra’s podcast, Two T’s in a Pod to discuss his Housewives tell-all Not All Diamonds and Rosé: The Inside Story of The Real Housewives from the People Who Lived It. Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Teddi Mellencamp is Tamra’s co-host on the podcast.
Dave spilled some tea about who asked to be paid for their interview. “A lot of people wanted to get paid for it,” Dave explained. “Vicki Gunvalson asked for money.” That wasn’t news to Tamra, who responded, “She used to ask for money to go to Watch What Happens Live.” Wow.
Then Dave talked about how Tamra tried to withdraw from the project. Dave stated, “She had recently been fired from the Housewives and [she] was pissed. [Tamra] called me up and you were like, ‘F-ck Bravo. I’m not doing this book. I’m not talking to anybody. I’m never doing anything with Bravo again,’” he shared. Tamra owned it, and replied, “I was going through my bitter stage.”
If you are itching to see Vicki and Tamra on your TV screen again, the dynamic duo is part of the cast of the Peacock series Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip Season 2. This mash-up series features former Housewives staying at Real Housewives of New York alum Dorinda Medley’s estate in the Berkshires.
As usual, Vicki created a ton of drama. She allegedly “told Dorinda that everyone who got the vaccine is going to die.” Yikes! Vicki’s roomie, Tamra, admitted that Vicki “had a rough start.” I can’t wait to see these ladies mixing it up in the Bezerkshires. It is going to be epic!

Noella Bergener is truly doing the most on the Real Housewives of Orange County. But what else should we have expected from a former friend of Braunwyn Windham-Burke? Noella’s life is falling apart before our very eyes, yet she seems very preoccupied with being the main character. I have to give her credit — it is adding that classic petty drama Real Housewives thrives on. But she is giving me HEAVY Braunwyn 2.0 vibes that I’m not loving.
Noella’s recently been on a crusade of trying to take down the true RHOC Queen Bee Heather Dubrow. Noella vs. Heather turned from a classic moment of he-said, she-said to an all-out brawl. Noella is throwing fighting words at Heather, calling her cruel and manipulative. But trying to take the Dubrows down is never a good idea, especially for a newbie. Methinks this won’t end well for Miss Noella, but we’ll have to watch the season play out.
One of Noella’s most egregious claims in the latest RHOC episode was that Fancy Pants “slammed people into walls” at her sushi party. First of all, Heather doesn’t do below-the-belt fighting — she freaks out at the sound of the “C” word. So physical violence at a fabulous party? Not her style. It sounds like Emily Simpson is feeling the same way about her story, as she explained her POV during a recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live.
Andy Cohen asked Emily for her reaction to Noella’s over-the-top claims. Emily was on the right side of history when it came to Braunwyn, so she’s calling out Noella for her similar behavior that doesn’t add up. “First of all, if you notice, she contradicts herself,” Emily begins. There’s that lawyer talk — Shane Simpson, take notes. “She ‘heard’ and then she said she ‘saw.’ When someone contradicts themselves, it takes away from their credibility,” Emily continued. “I don’t believe them at all.”
Like, does Noella really think that Heather would get physical with someone at her party and somehow the entire RHOC fandom hasn’t heard of it? Production or someone behind the scenes would’ve leaked that to the blogs before the season even aired. It screams reaching to me. Noella, you have plenty of chaos going on in your life to make a storyline worthy of a second season. Don’t ruin it by, in her own words, being too thirsty and wreckless.

Jennie Nguyen is not here to put up with anyone’s sh**. While she’s new to Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, she’s already had her fair share of drama with the ladies. And one of her castmates that seems to be the subject of deep tension just so happens to be Mary Cosby. Despite Jen Shah threatening to overshadow the whole season with her legal drama, Mary has made a name for herself with her church drama and insensitive racial remarks.
As reported by Reality Blurb, Jennie made a recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live to discuss her thoughts on Mary and where they stand today. As for the accusation that Jennie speaks to Mary differently, Jennie maintained, “I don’t really know that I have a Black accent so I don’t know why people think only talking to Mary, I have a Black accent. I have an accent. Period. And it comes out to be whatever it is.”
She also added, “I don’t understand. I try to be nice to Mary. I reach out. I apologized if I offended her by using foul language. I did her makeup. And then coming at me and saying, ‘Oh, by the way, I brought this. And I didn’t want to carry it home so I gave it to you,’ for me, it’s insulting. It has to come from the heart. It doesn’t matter if it’s $1 or $1 million.”
As for why Meredith Marks has stood so firmly by Mary’s side, Jennie thinks it has something to do with Jen. Said Jennie, “I’m friends with Jen, therefore there’s that animosity against Jen, therefore she figures, ‘Oh you don’t like Mary and Mary doesn’t like you so I’m just going to stick with Mary because you stick with Jen. You supported Jen.’ That’s all I can think of.” Whew. Does anyone else find some of these RHOSLC feuds super confusing? Don’t get me wrong, I love the drama. But sometimes it’s hard to keep up with who is on the outs with who.
Regarding Jennie and Mary’s relationship today, Jennie said that Mary apologized for her commentary on Jennie’s eyes. But noted that Mary’s behavior never changed. Said Jennie, “She apologized but then she continued to make little digs at me. It didn’t stop. If you apologize, don’t do it again. That’s what my mom says, ‘If you apologize, genuinely apologize and don’t do it again. Learn from your mistake.’”
Jennie concluded, “But Mary keeps throwing digs at me. If you keep continuing to watch, there are more down the road that she would not stop with this racial comment towards me and I don’t understand. Why me?”

In the trailer for Shonda Rhimes' Netflix series Inventing Anna, The Ozark actress speaks in a bizarre accent to...Teresa Giudice has a way with men! After the dissolution of her 20 year marriage to Joe “Juicy” Giudice, she wasted no time moving on. After a nearly year long courtship, the Real Housewives of New Jersey star is now happily engaged to Luis “Louie” Ruelas.
He even gifted her a new car for the holidays and wrote her daily love notes that she showed off on her stint on Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip. Some call it “lovebombing” and fans were quick to warn Teresa that Louie has a checkered past. But Teresa defended her man and told haters, “I say like, ‘Please mind your business.’ You should want someone to be happy, because if you want someone else to be happy, then happiness comes to you. I’m about that. I’m not about ever hurting someone or tearing them down or anything like that.”
But Teresa isn’t going to let the negativity stop her from wedding planning. And those plans might even include her ex, Juicy. Joe recently spoke with Access and it seems like things are pretty harmonious between the ex couple. Said Joe, “I mean Louie is a good guy. He seems like a good guy. I got nothing against Louie. I met him. He is a nice guy.” I think it’s important to remember that Joe is a man of few words.
As for Teresa and Louie’s relationship, he revealed, “They are happy, you know what I mean? And that’s all that matters. I don’t expect her to be alone, who wants to be alone?” And if he was invited to their wedding? Joe replied, “Would I go to the wedding? I don’t care, why not.” That’s not exactly a ringing endorsement of excitement, but with Juicy, I think we will take what we can get.
For his part, Joe has supported the couple for some time now. Despite initially stating that he though they “moved a bit quick into this romance,” Joe has since come around.
Teresa said of the relationship between Joe and Louie, “They like each other…We went to the Bahamas and we went to go see Joe, and Louie DM’ed Joe behind my back. I didn’t even know. He’s like, ‘We’re coming out there. I would like for us to all have dinner.’ We went out to the Bahamas because Joe is living six months in the Bahamas and six months in Italy, so we had dinner with him and it went really well. Joe thinks Louie’s a great guy.”

It may be hell for the contestants, but we're certainly enjoying Netflix's new reality TV show Single's Inferno. After premiering in December, word has spread that the Korean...Lea Black was an integral part of The Real Housewives of Miami during its original run, so we’ve been patiently waiting for her to share her unfiltered opinion about all-things season 4. Thankfully, she squeezed some time in between planning charity galas and running her skincare empire to make an appearance on Behind The Velvet Rope With David Yontef. On the podcast, the “Mayor of Miami” didn’t hesitate to share her feelings about the Peacock reboot and its current lineup of Housewives. And when discussing Larsa Pippen’s presence on the show, Lea didn’t seem too impressed.
As Radar Online reported, Lea explained on the podcast that she’s never known Larsa to “really put herself out there.” As a result, Lea isn’t confident that Larsa will deliver anything substantial during her second stint as a Real Housewife.
So far, on the reboot, Larsa hasn’t been a major player in any of the action. We’ve seen her talk about selling her house, and we’ve seen her give Adriana de Moura a crash course on how to make a killing on Only Fans. Meanwhile, in the same number of episodes, Alexia Echevarria has dealt with at least three different family crises, all while planning a wedding. So, Lea’s assertion about Larsa might not be too far off.
Lea also pointed out that Larsa doesn’t show off genuine parts of her life. Of course, we all know that’s a critical element to being an entertaining Housewife. However, Lea doesn’t think we should get her hopes up with Larsa. She explained, “I’ve never seen her crying or complain[ing] or whining about her personal life. I’ve never seen any of that with her, so I wouldn’t expect it.” She continued, “[She] has a very see-and-be-seen superficial kind of life.”
In Lea’s opinion, that superficial, “see-and-be-seen” lifestyle is what helped land her a spot on the reboot. After all, Larsa became a tabloid staple in the last couple of years, amassing a hefty Instagram following thanks to her estranged relationship with the Kardashians. According to Lea, Larsa believes that the Kardashian connections and flashy lifestyle got her back on the show. But, is that enough to sustain the audience’s interest?
“I do think she kind of thinks that. Based on my conversations with her, I think she kind of thinks that,” Lea said. “And that’s not an insult to her! I think that’s going to be a very short-lived interest in people. Now, if she can get past that … great. But if it’s the bait-and-switch, then no, no. … That’s not sustainable. … It’s a buzz, and it’s over.”
Lea’s observations about Larsa might seem a little bit shady. However, during the interview, she reiterated that she does maintain a relationship with her fellow RHOM OG. She’s one of the few cast members that Lea does stay in contact with, but it definitely doesn’t sound like she’ll be making an appearance as a “friend of” anytime soon.

Well, well, well, the plot certainly thickened this week on The Real Housewives of Orange County. Feuds are building momentum. We’re prepping for the first cast trip of the season. And we saw more of Shannon Beador in her ShipStation commercial than we did in the actual episode. I’ll say it again and again until something changes my mind: the great reboot of RHOC is going great. It’s fun. It’s drama. I’m loving it. And anyone who says otherwise is just hating for the sake of hating.
The episode kicks off with Heather Dubrow taking Max Dubrow to get their auras read. Because it’s a cute mother-daughter bonding activity and Heather wants to see if it’ll make for good entertainment at the upcoming party for the self-help book Max has written, I’ll Give It To You Straightish: What Your Teen Wants You To Know. I don’t know about you, but I actually totally believe in this whole aura business. Because one time a few years ago, I got mine read with friends at a little shop in Chinatown, and literally every single thing the reader interpreted from my aura was true. Including a few things that came to fruition months down the road. Heather is a bit less pleased the misshapen blobs of her aura than I was, but it’ll still make for a fun party trick.
Meanwhile, Noella Bergener has invited Gina Kirschenheiter over to the mansion she’s currently squatting in because she’s solved the biggest mystery of the season. She’s found James Bergener! And where in the world could he possibly be? No, Gina. Not South Africa, sweetie. While Sweet James filed for divorce — in Spanish, remember — from Puerto Rico, it turns out that he’s allegedly jetted off to Mykonos! At least, so says the trail of credit card charges Noella’s been able to track. As for what he’s doing there, God only knows. But the revelation sets something loose in Noella. She now feels able to start moving forward with her life rather than waiting for him to come home. Now if only poor Gina could figure out where Mykonos is located on a map.
Cut to Heather getting Dr. Jen Armstrong and Emily Simpson together for a little girls’ afternoon. First up is a trip to the sauna, into which Emily has shamelessly toted an entire turkey sandwich. She’s hungry, people! While they sweat out the toxins and tryptophan, Dr. Jen gives us some fascinating insight into her past. Apparently before she married her husband, she dated a billionaire. And their break-up made headlines in the OC after she was accused of cheating on him.
Then, a few days after they got married, said billionaire ex-boyfriend sued the good doctor to the tune of $850,000, claiming every gift he ever gave her was a loan. What a wedding present! Naturally, this built quite a bit of tension into Dr. Jen‘s marriage, and it’s rippled through the years. Frankly, the story’s giving me Elizabeth Vargas vibes, and I need to know everything. Including whether or not she’s actually board certified. Also, what’s medical battery?
Once Emily finishes her Jimmy John’s, the trio move on to the nail salon for a mani/pedi. Naturally. In the chairs, Heather floats out the idea of a little girls’ getaway. Who wants to go to Cabo San Lucas? The other topic of conversation at hand is all things Noella. Including whether or not she deserves her own invitation to Mexico. Given everything she’s heard about what Noella’s saying behind her back, Heather doesn’t quite know how to read the newbie. First, Noella called her a “fake b—h” (which Emily heard from Nicole James, too). And then she warned Gina that Heather was “not to be trusted.” The thing is, Heather has no idea where any of this is coming from. From what we’ve seen, she’s been nothing but kind, welcoming and gracious to Noella. Why all the negativity?
Shannon, meanwhile, spends the entirety of this episode on a trip to Nashville to visit her mother. All three Beador girls are along for the family vacation as well. But rather than see Shannon take Music City by storm(s), the only scene we get is lunch at a nondescript restaurant that could be anywhere from Newport to Cleveland. Sophie Beador gushes over her new college boyfriend, whom she’s planning to marry after just two months of dating. Ah, young love (*insert eyeroll*). And everything Sophie has to say about her healthy, wonderful, perfect first relationship triggers all the guilt Shannon keeps bottled up over the toxic marriage her girls witnessed for years between her and David. It honestly feels like Shannon’s on an entirely different show.
Back in Orange County, Heather invites Noella over to Chateau Dubrow to get to the bottom of everything that’s being said behind her back. But the peace summit starts off on the wrong foot when the newbie accuses Fancy Pants of inviting her over to see her in action as she films an informercial with Terry Dubrow. Well, not to her face anyway. In her confessional. But, gee, I don’t know. Maybe Heather has more to do all day than sit around the house and shop? So maybe she asked Noella to swing by in between filming and one of her many other projects? Like, I don’t know, recording her hit podcast, planning Max‘s party or being a mom to four kids? What a concept!
Pulling Noella into her home office — which the newbie also can’t help but hate on via interview — for a private chat, Heather lays out all the gossip she’s been hearing. And to her credit, Noella doesn’t deny saying all the things she’s said. But she also doesn’t really take accountability for any of it, either. She brushes off the comment to Nicole as nothing more than lashing out during a hard time. Understandable. And when Heather asks why she apparently shouldn’t be trusted, Noella blames Nicole not wanting to talk about her lawsuit against Terry. Huh?
Then, Noella brings a rather incendiary accusation straight out of left field that Heather was “slamming people against walls” the night of her sushi party. Umm…what? The newbie seems to infer that she was told about the alleged violence by production. But if production had that footage, don’t you think they would’ve used it? It’s bizarre and almost laughable. It’s safe to say Noella and Heather might not be meant to be friends. But everything from the lighting to the line delivery in this confrontation was high camp. Housewives art. So far, I quite like Noella, and have a ton of empathy for her personal situation, but the way she’s treating Heather so far doesn’t sit well. And I have a sneaking suspicion that the motive behind her hostility could have something to do with wanting to fight Shannon‘s battle for her. But that’s just a subjective personal theory…
The evening of Max‘s book launch arrives, and all the ‘Wives are invited. Yes, even Noella. Who, after a quick air kiss hello, spends the rest of the party far away from the hostess. Shannon‘s not in attendance because she feels sick after coming home from Nashville. And we learn that in the interim, Noella both made up with Dr. Jen from their argument last week and sparked a whole new feud with Nicole over the latter’s complete lack of empathy and support over her divorce. But for some reason, we’re robbed of seeing both scenes, except in quick flashbacks. C’mon editing! Do better.
All the ladies are excited about Heather‘s upcoming trip to Cabo. Except Noella, who has yet to receive an invite. But, I mean, should she even expect one at this point? Heather gives a lovely speech praising Max, and as one of the many, many queer kids who never really got that same level of acceptance at home, I have to say it was very touching. As I tweeted during the episode, this is how you support your LGBTQ+ child. And the episode ends with Emily getting plastered and hilariously mocking Nicole‘s $15,000 handbag, pestering Dr. Jen about how she paid for medical school (“But you said your family was wealthy?”) and trying to get the doc to admit she was with her (apparently unattractive) billionaire ex for the money. Drunk Emily is the most fun Emily. Next week, the ‘Wives take Cabo!

He obviously has closer relationships with some stars than others in his personal life, but can also appreciate them as TV characters. Just recently, Andy shared his Top 5 favorite Real Housewives moms of all time. Take away his title, and he’s a reality TV junkie just like the rest of us.
Ahead of the premiere of the next season of Real Housewives of New Jersey, Andy decided to show some love to the lovable HouseHusbands of the Garden State. (Sidenote: can we please get one RHONJ episode dedicated to the husbands this go around?) The Watch What Happens Live host took to Instagram to do a Q&A with fans. One follower asked Andy to pick a favorite HouseHusband, which was a daunting task for the Bravo Boss.
“I don’t have a FAVORITE but I think we can all agree this man is a Hall of Famer….” Andy wrote over a photo of Joe Gorga. Don’t tell Joe Giudice that Andy said that. Something tells me that won’t go over well for the man who went to prison on national TV as well as never shied away from showing off his splits skills.
I love Andy’s love and admiration for the Giudice/Gorga fam. They really are the reason that RHONJ is such a legendary franchise. Teresa Giudice’s table flip will always remain a pivotal moment in Real Housewives history. But Tarzan has his own legacy on the show, even if he and his sister disagree on how Melissa Gorga ended up with a full-time role. Without Joey Gorga, there would be no infamous RHONJ christening episode.
We probably wouldn’t have MelGo’s No. 1 bop “On Display” if Joe didn’t put a music studio in their suburban castle home. And whenever he appears on screen with Frank Catania, it’s always a gift. Especially when they’re literally kissing each others’ asses.
Even though Tre and Joe are in a good place these days, it doesn’t mean the Gorgas won’t have drama. Her oldest dorter Gia Giudice is going to beef with her uncle. She’s really done with the way the Gorgas talk about her dad Juicy Joe. But what’s a season of RHONJ without some Giudice/Gorga back and forth? Truly, I have no idea.

A reconciliation gone wrong. Heather Dubrow is eager to clear the air with Noella Bergener on the Jan. 12 all-new episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County, but as this exclusive...The best part about the current season of Real Housewives of Orange County is not the return of Heather Dubrow or the perfect amount of petty Housewives’ drama. No, it’s how much it’s rubbing the show’s fired star Kelly Dodd the wrong way. Kelly is nothing but a fool. She’s doing overtime in a feeble attempt to stay in the RHOC narrative, and it’s honestly pitiful to watch.
Kelly’s tactics of choice to remain relevant include berating Fancy Pants any chance she gets and doing the most cliche Real Housewives schtick of all time — starting a podcast that no one asked for. I’m so glad Bravo took out the trash. The entire show has a lighter feel now that Kelly is out of the loop. Now, she just needs to learn to log off and keep her tone-deaf opinions to herself before she gets in any more trouble. At least she has Rick Leventhal, her delusional soul mate to be her partner in all of the chaos.
In Kelly’s latest line of ridiculous behavior, she decided to throw a few more low blows at Heather. Except this Twitter feud was between Kelly Fraud and a PARODY ACCOUNT of Heather Dubrow. Yes, Kelly didn’t have enough media literacy to notice she was fighting with a bot account. Her tweets have since been deleted, but the account @heatherdumbrow has screenshots for us to laugh at. God bless.
The fake Heather account incidentally started beef with Kelly by responding to an article about Kelly’s firing. “I fired you. Get over it,” the fake Heather wrote. That was enough for Kelly to jump in not only to harp on RHOC’s ratings even more, but to also insult Heather and her family. Sounds about Kelly.
Kelly wrote, “Lmfao! Ratings suck because of your fugly face and attitude and no one wants to know about your kids sexuality!” Yeah, because KELLY DODD is definitely known for her STELLAR attitude. Give me a break. In the meantime, those of us on the right side of history will be tuning into RHOC every Wednesday night, thank you very much.

The proposal came after years of viewers claiming Robyn had no story line and Juan just wasn’t interested in her romantically anymore. While the two initially planned on a “small destination wedding”, season six of the show featured all kinds of excuses for postponing the nuptials.
Rather than blame the pandemic, Robyn explained that the two were focused on “enjoying their engagement” instead. Haven’t they already been married and living together for like…decades? I don’t get it.
In a recent interview with BET, Robyn shared a bit more about her wedding plans, or lack thereof. “We still do not have a date,” she revealed. “But honestly, I’ve kind of shifted the type and scope of wedding that I want. I really think that I could plan something [myself].”
“It’s going to be small in scale to the point where I could plan it in a few weeks,” Robyn explained. She admitted that her intentions for the celebration have changed since reflecting on how much effort a large event can be. She said, “I really wanted a destination wedding at first, but it is our second wedding. We already had a huge 400 person wedding.”
“We just moved into a new house, we’re furnishing the house, and I’m probably going to be sending both of my kids to private school next year,” Robyn continued with the rationale. “We’re trying to be smart and not really spend a ton of money on what we don’t really need to. When you go through what I’ve been through financially, you don’t ever want to be back there.”
As far as a date? Robyn revealed, “Once Juan’s basketball season is over, which will be like the middle of March or so, we’ll have something on the books.” Giving me big spring-summer-jogger vibes, here.
Robyn’s main story line seems to be that she doesn’t have a story line. She’s the anti-arc. A void of character development, if you ask me. Could she be trying to drag this wedding out until the Bravo cameras are interested in filming? Or maybe she and Juan just aren’t as interested in tying the knot as some thought.

Mary Cosby has completely derailed this season of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. While the trailer promised plenty of Jen Shah drama, Mary came along and said “hold my [proverbial] beer.” Or tea. Or whatever she drinks. A few days ago, the news broke that Mary skipped out on the reunion. Fans surmised that she didn’t want to address that her church is rumored to be a cult. There is also speculation that Mary didn’t want to be accountable for her racially insensitive remarks. And since Mary has no almost friends left in her corner, she would be left to defend herself alone. I don’t even think Meredith Marks would jump in to save her at this point.
So Mary took to social media to rant about it, leaving fans both cringing and confused. According to Mary, “TV watching lowers IQ. And it increases rudeness too.” She also added a quote from a psychiatrist named Marcia Sirota. She quoted, “Reality TV is junk food for our brain, and in the same way that junk food rots our teeth and makes us sick, bad reality TV rots our brain and makes us rude.” Mary concluded, “Reality shows have a negative impact on our children in more ways than one. These shows focus on bullying, aggressive behavior and unhealthy competition, and kids often tend to confuse reality TV with the real world.”
Now Mary is facing the financial consequence of her actions by skipping the reunion. As reported by Radar Online, Mary reportedly lost out on $18K from Bravo to appear. The gossip outlet Tamra Tattles had a source that revealed, “Mary and the rest of the cast signed a five-year deal limiting their increases until it ends.” The outlet’s source also claimed, “They made $2k per episode for season one. Then, they all got ‘thank you bonuses’ in the form of a renegotiated salary of $6,500 per episode for season 2 as opposed to a 10% increase.”
The reports are that Mary is done with RHOSLC but an insider said she would be getting a pay raise if she stuck around for another season. Which seems highly unlikely, since skipping the reunion is the housewives kiss of death. The source added, “They will receive increases for season three based on their contributions to the series. Expect Jen and Meredith to reach the $9-10k range and the others to get just 10%. The newbie will probably only get 10% also in order to keep production costs down.”
But it might have been worth it to Mary to skip out. The source claimed, “She did not show, and her attorney told Shed Media that she wants to receive her final paychecks ASAP, seemingly signaling the end to her participation on the series. People at both the network and production company (level) believe she is upset about a bad edit. So they are going to wire her $6,000 per episode to her and leave her be.” Maybe she can send Jesus for her checks.

The Lala Kent and Randall Emmett breakup news cycle seems to be slowing down. But Lala is doing her best to keep it going. At this point, she’s said so much, what else is there to reveal? Randall is allegedly a narcissistic cheater who built their relationship on lies. And according to the Vanderpump Rules star, she’s moved on. She recently revealed that “all in all, I feel like the most powerful, independent, and most beautiful that I have ever felt in my entire life.”
But Lala has some critics who don’t love the way she has handled the social media takedown of her ex and father of her daughter. One of those people is the always outspoken Golnesa “GG” Gharachedaghi. The Shahs of Sunset star recently blew up Lala’s spot on social media with her thoughts.
GG said , “If someone [Randall] is being their authentic-self and it’s all being referred to as “red flags”, why does the person [Lala] wait until they’ve experienced so many of these ‘red flags’ before they walk away?” GG continued, “Just saying… Walk away and stop complaining unless you’re ready to take accountability for choosing to stay after the first ‘red flag’ because all of this press/media sh*t ain’t cute when it’s about the father of your child.” Oop! We should have known GG wouldn’t hold back.
Now, Lala is firing back at GG. On a recent episode of Watch What Happens Live, Lala addressed what GG had to say about her. Host Andy Cohen asked the fan question, “Have you spoken to GG from Shahs since she said you need to take accountability for your ignoring all of Randall’s red flags? And why did you unfollow her on Instagram? Because she said that?”
Lala responded, “Yeah. I thought it was inappropriate. She knows nothing about what’s going on and how deep and dark and disgusting everything is.” She added, “I just thought as someone who is a single mom that you would take a pause and have compassion. I just thought after that I don’t need the negativity.”
Well, if Lala is right about one thing, it’s that she definitely doesn’t need the negativity. But can someone tell her that the majority of the negativity is coming from her? Just sayin’.

Real Housewives of Orange County star Shannon Beador is familiar with messy divorces. Shannon really went through it during her marriage to David Beador. RHOC viewers watched the fallout from David’s affair, and the couple’s attempt at some very odd marriage counseling. The image of Shannon pretending to be deceased while David spoke to her was creepy.
In October of 2017, David and Shannon separated. The divorce was vicious, with disputes over finances and the couple’s three daughters. In April of 2019, the couple finally reached a divorce settlement.
So, while Shannon dislikes all RHOC newbies, she has taken a shine to Noella Bergener. And Noella is having a rough first season. It all started when Noella found out, from the blogs, that her husband, James Bergener, owed $5 million in back taxes to the IRS and the State of California. Oof.
Then James hit Noella with divorce papers that he filed in Puerto Rico. James claimed that he hadn’t been living with Noella and their 2-year-old son. RHOC viewers saw a devastated Noella when she found out about James filing for divorce. James allegedly cut off her credit cards and left her without any way to access any funds. He seems like a real charmer.
Shannon can relate to Noella’s marital woes. “Our circumstances are a little bit different, and to be honest with you, I think she was blindsided more than I was, and that’s why I have empathy for her — and I still do have that empathy,” Shannon stated.
Noella and James continued to spar in the public eye over the last several weeks. Their posts are confusing and contradict each other, so I have no idea what the hell is happening.
Noella took to Instagram to explain how poorly she, and her son, were being treated. “To this date James has not visited our son or giving me any explanation for his departure,” Noella wrote.
She said, “My cards are still shut off, he hasn’t paid a dime in support, he stopped paying for our home and is currently holding up our divorce unless I sign a statement saying that I lied about him, his business partner and his brand.”
James posted three videos on his Instagram, where he blasted Noella. He claimed that Noella changed as filming for RHOC neared. He also stated that he had paid $150,000 for his son’s care.
Noella responded by reposting one of James’ videos on Instagram. She explained in the caption that James called her for the first time in 5 months to ask for help with his PR as a personal injury attorney.
“I told him to stop holding up support,” Noella wrote, “…get his son a gift for Xmas & that I was going to use my settlement to buy a home for our family and I’d publicly thank him.” Then, hours later, James shared his damning videos.
Shannon told Entertainment Tonight that she is the closest RHOC cast member to Noella. “I’ve texted with her a little bit, and I just say I’m here for her if she needs anything, because I know how difficult it is,” Shannon shared. She doesn’t think that Noella and James should be fighting it out on social media.
She stated, “My position is always not to argue with anyone on social media, because then people weigh in and have opinions and it’s none of their business.” Shannon added, “So, I feel bad for her that it’s public, but I think he went out there and made some videos and I guess at some point you feel you have to respond. It’s a nasty situation.”
And social media recently caused a bit of a problem for Shannon. James posted his videos on Instagram, and Shannon was the only RHOC cast member who was following his account. Entertainment Tonight mentioned the follow to Shannon during their phone interview, and she had no idea that she was following James.
“I must’ve pressed follow by mistake, because I didn’t intend to follow it,” Shannon remarked. “Shoot! I better unfollow it right now.” Something tells me that Noella will forgive Shannon. These two will be thick as thieves this season, probably out of necessity.
TELL US- ARE NOELLA AND SHANNON FRIENDS OUT OF NECESSITY? DO YOU BELIEVE WHAT JAMES SAID IN HIS VIDEOS? DO YOU LIKE NOELLA AS A CAST MEMBER ON RHOC?

Is everyone ready for another Vanderpump Rules episode where James Kennedy freaks out? Over the last several episodes, it’s happened far too much. It’s not difficult to comprehend what might’ve led to his split from Raquel Leviss. The behavior is off the rails. His switch to anger is quick and doesn’t take much.
Isn’t it weird watching James & Raquel plan their engagement party? Knowing these two aren’t actually going to wed takes a lot of the excitement out of the scene, but whatever.
There’s a lot of underlying tension going into the event between James & Brock Davies. It isn’t a great place for any of them to be in. If James had any inkling about the surprise wedding Brock’s planning, he’d lose his shit so hard. Brock’s really teetering the line between cute and shady with this. I’d be pissed if I was James & Raquel.
I don’t want to hear anything about Brock’s business. It wouldn’t surprise me if this is the reason why he’s in Scheana Marie’s life. He’s struck me as an opportunist since day one. I see right through him.
Scheana’s nervous things are weird between her and Raquel after the blowup with their men. Raquel’s not responding to any of her messages, so things are looking iffy. She should make a latch ditch effort to reach out to Raquel. If that doesn’t work, don’t go on the trip. There’s no reason to make things awkward for herself or everyone else because that accomplishes nothing.
For someone who seemingly has a severe lack of funds, Brock’s photo shoot looks so official. The price tag for the event looks way out of Brock’s range. Who is footing the bill for this? Is it Scheana? I thought he didn’t have the capital to do anything. Weird because he HAS to know people are going to comment on it.
James backs out of the event which isn’t shocking whatsoever because he’s made his feelings clear about this since the first time it was pitched. I’m not sure why he’s wasting his time and feigning illness. Just admit you don’t want to be there. Own it!
Charli Burnett’s in this scene as well. However, you wouldn’t know it because she’s been given the weirdest main cast edit ever. Sometimes she’s heavily featured, and other times, she’s a fly on the wall. Their treatment of Charli’s been all over the place at best.
It’s bizarre that Scheana’s already working on the prenuptial agreement, but it’s smart. The one off-putting thing about all of it is how eager Brock is to sign it. It’s like he wants to prove to the world how great of a man he is.
Katie Maloney & Ariana Madix are seeking out Randall Emmett as a possible investor. Ariana’s running late for the meeting with Randall. How are you not going to show up for something so critical? You’re asking for a shit ton of money, and you can’t be bothered to arrive on time? Good luck getting someone to fork over cash like that.
Randall isn’t playing around and sets a timer for 30 minutes. The whole thing is a joke. The sandwich shop is a joke as well. All of the storylines this season feel fake and forced. I’d be surprised if this show gets picked up for another season after this. It’s BAD.
Ariana finally saunters into the meeting, and I can’t even be mad. They already have a more solid name than the Toms do. That’s the first step to getting their fledgling idea of the ground. Randall wants to be a part of this so damn badly. All the man wants is a hoagie in his name. Give him what he wants! Hopefully his partners come through and give him the green light to fund their project.
After signing the agreement, a deeply emotional Brock officially gets down on one knee to propose. I must be a heartless human for not sharing any joy for them. I’m watching this and digging so far deep down to get a sliver of happiness. Can’t do it. Not a fan of this man AT ALL because something has always felt off.
Scheana doesn’t want to take anything away from James & Raquel, but Brock’s insistent. She doesn’t see the need to wait to get married. but this might go horribly wrong. Brock’s already got her convinced this is the right thing to do. This is the shittiest thing you could do as someone’s friend. I know James & Raquel eventually call it quits, but that’s not the point. This isn’t what friends do to one another.
The destination for the engagement party is breathtaking. The rooms look like they’re part of a real castle. Gorgeous! James & Raquel knocked it out of the park with this one. Absolutely stunning.
Ariana’s concerned about the way James grabbed a hold of Raquel. She tried pleading her concerns to Raquel, but an irate James once again hijacked the conversation. His anger issues must’ve played a pivotal role in the downfall of their relationship. He’s too all over the place for it not to be a factor.
Tom Sandoval’s so nervous at the idea of Brock stealing the spotlight from James. He’s going to freak out. James is probably the worst possible person to do something like this to. He’s a stick of dynamite waiting for someone to light him up and explode.
James apologizes to Ariana & Brock, but the vibe he’s giving off says the opposite. He’s clearly still pissed off at Brock and looking for a fight. I don’t care for Brock, but all James is doing is proving his point. James has no idea how to talk to anyone because he doesn’t know how to listen.
Paranoia’s growing amongst the group about Brock & Scheana’s secret wedding. Sandoval’s starting to crack. Everything’s on the verge of unraveling. Bring on the drama! Next week’s season finale’s going to be one for the ages.
TELL US – DOES JAMES HAVE ANGER ISSUES? IS BROCK AN OPPORTUNIST? ARE YOU ENJOYING THIS SEASON OF VANDERPUMP RULES?
