Back in September 2022, Larsa was spotted by the press getting nice and cozy with Marcus out in public. However, despite the rumor mill going, Larsa maintained she and Marcus were nothing more than friends.
Then, in a move we were honestly all expecting, Larsa and Marcus became “Instagram official” in January 2023. In a photo she posted to her personal social media page, the RHOM star stood next to her man and captioned it, “Checks over stripes.” For those who may not get the reference, Larsa is pledging her allegiance to the Nike brand (home of the famous Michael Jordan sneakers) over their competitor Adidas.
And now that the pair have officially let the world in on their special relationship, it seems like everyone has some burning questions. But the biggest of them all: Will Marcus appear on the new season of the Real Housewives? According to Page Six, Larsa wants to create a healthy balance between her career and her relationship. Consequently, Marcus will only appear on RHOM “a little bit,” per People.
“I don’t want to put too much pressure on him. I feel like he signed up for me,” Larsa said.

“I don’t think he signed up for the show, but I do feel like we’re together now, and if there’s events and there’s stuff he would normally go with me, so he’d come there, too.”
Here’s the thing: he did sign up for the show because he’s dating Larsa. The Real Housewives is a pop culture phenomenon. Anyone approached to do the show or who begins dating someone on the show understands what they’re signing up for. And if Marcus isn’t ready for that attention, welp–I hate to break the news–it’s coming.
Larsa should reconsider how she plans to feature her relationship on the new season of RHOM. After her divorce from Scottie Pippen was finalized in December 2021, seeing the reality star with someone that makes her happy has been one of the only things on the viewers’ minds.

Things are getting serious between some of the Vanderpump Rules cast members. After all of the drama concerning Tom Sandoval and his seven-month-long affair with Raquel Leviss, it’s safe to say those two are on the outs of the group.
Though production for Season 10 of Pump Rules wrapped a while ago, sources close to production revealed cameras were up and rolling to capture the fallout among the group. “The majority of the cast is expected to gather and film … to share their reactions to Raquel and Sandoval’s affair. Mostly everyone is shook and completely heartbroken for Ariana [Madix],” they said.
Ariana, Tom’s ex-girlfriend of almost 10 years, discovered his inappropriate relationship with Raquel, when she stumbled upon a sexual video and texts from her friend on Tom’s phone. It allegedly circulated around the group. Raquel’s legal team sent notices to her cast mates demanding they destroy any video or image they have of their client that’s sexual.
After tons of legal documents and fake apologies, there’s still more. Now, Raquel claims that her ex-bestie, Scheana Shay, punched her in the face after their Watch What Happens Live appearance. It allegedly left her eye bruised.
Page Six reports that in Raquel’s restraining order filed on March 7th, 2023, the reality star alleges Scheana “pushed her against a brick wall,” causing “injury” to her head. Additionally, she claims Scheana “punched” her in the face, leaving her with a black eye.
Court documents allege that Scheana has not apologized to Raquel and is telling their friends that she would “do it again.” Whew. Buckle up, Raquel, because I think you’re in for a long ride. Quite frankly, Scheana isn’t the VPR co-star she should be worried about: it’s Lala Kent I’d keep my eye on. That girl can read with the best of them, and given the pair’s past, this could’ve been the nail in the coffin.
After news of Raquel’s despicable behavior broke, Lala shared an update with fans. “I usually don’t get involved but now I am activated. I am activated as f—k. Now that I have consent from Ariana… blowtorch, gasoline, grenade launcher, it’s all ready,” she said.
Aside from that, Raquel’s restraining order also claims she has “blurred vision” and “swelling” to her left eye.

We are five days into #Scandoval. So much has changed since the last time we were together. When we left off, Tom Schwartz was sniffling about “becoming a statistic” in his relationship with Katie Maloney. My how things have changed. Everything we watched tonight was through a “Raquel Leviss and Tom Sandoval are air-dropping nudes” sheen. I personally found it shiver-inducing.
We soft open with Scheana Shay and Brock Davies rock climbing and vlogging. By the way, did you see that vlog clip of Raquel walking out of Sandy’s dressing room when she realized Scheana was vlog recording with him? I’m telling you, these tidbits are all I can think about in every scene. Please bear with me as we continue.
Yup. We start right up with a scene featuring Raquel and Ariana Madix. They’re discussing Raquel’s boldness with Schwartz and her admission to Katie. Ariana says this may be the first time she has been mad at Raquel. It’s so dark.
In her confessional, Raquel says Katie is hard to read because she “keeps a good poker face.” This is cut with a scene of her standing in a bikini discussing her love life with her boyfriend’s girlfriend. I promise not to dissect every literal second like this forever, but it’s going to take some adjusting.
Lisa Vanderpump is wheeling and dealing like nothing we’ve ever seen before. She makes the voyage to Schwartzy’s and is feeling charitable. She and Ken Vanderpump offer to give their chosen children their investment from Tom-Tom back. Lisa lets the boys know they can re-buy their way into their namesake establishment in the future. What a hilarious way to exploit these ding-dongs for profit. Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving pair!
Later in the episode, Lisa curates a very forced “girls’ dinner,” and what do you know? Garcelle Beauvais’ son Oliver Saunders happens to be mic-ed and working today! Lala Kent quickly announces that Oliver would be her type if he wasn’t married. Lisa lets it slip that he’s actually separated. It’s almost like she’s producing this moment or something.
LVP also pitches a sandwich shop location to Katie that’s around the bend from SUR. Katie seems intrigued. It’s fine with me so long as I’m not forced to watch.
Special shout out to the scene of Lisa epoxying a Claire’s statement necklace onto a golden dog statue.
James Kennedy and Ally Lewber go to lunch with James’ mom. We learn that James doesn’t drink around his mother to “keep it respectful.” Mazel to Mama Jaqueline for her four years of sobriety!
The conversation turns to James being kicked out of a bar Raquel approaching Ally to review James cheating with Lala. James’ mom takes her opportunity to slam Raquel before she circles back to James’ drinking problem. Good. In her confessional, Ally shares that she found herself attracted to James initially because his sobriety was impressive and “mature.” She reveals things started changing after she caught him secretly drinking in Vegas.
Later in the episode, we watch James and Ally on a foot massage date. Ally tells James directly that she prefers him sober. James thinks that he’s doing just fine with his alcohol intake. He argues that he is maintaining a successful Tuesday night DJ gig. What more does she want from him? In his confessional, James says the next time he stops drinking it will be for himself and not his girlfriend. I’m still rooting for you, dude. Help yourself!
This was tough. We start with Tom and Ariana snuggling their big dog. You remember. It’s the pet internet lurkers allege punctured Doodle-Graham in the throat in the early episodes of the season. No comment. I need to focus.
Ariana puts Tom on doggy medication management duty while she’s away on a girl’s trip in Vegas. Her other dog, Charlotte, is suffering from seizures in her old age. Old Char has been with Ariana since Tom was cheating on Kristen Doute.
Once the Pump Rules girls make it to Vegas, it’s all downhill. We are forced to endure a scene of Ariana crying over her dog’s breakthrough seizures. Watching her express absolute devastation is so heavy with what we know now. *Hugs to Ari* #teamariana
We’re then subjected to a scene of Sandoval and Ariana walking in to have their final moments with the actual love of Ariana’s life, Charlotte. Tom says he’s going to be there for “his girl” through her pain. Repulsive.
This scene was torture and completely unnatural. No way would these people ever find themselves sitting across from each other at a volitional dinner table. Was it bring your mother figure to work day? This meal had LVP, Raquel, Lala, Katie, and Katie’s actual mom.
Raquel takes ownership of her part in the Tom Schwartz flirtationship before she’s willing to take ownership of her first name. It’s Rachel, by the way. Too bad Katie brought her mommy along for the Vegas showdown. This woman admonishes Raqy for flirting with her daughter’s ex-husband. It was deeply embarrassing for Katie.
We learn that Lala hasn’t had sex since she conceived her daughter in 2020. The more you know. During the girl’s dinner, Lala clearly expresses an interest in her server, Oliver. She’s met him before. Not that he remembers. Of course, where there’s a woman pursuing a man, Rachel isn’t far behind. Sloppy banana clip in tow. Look out, Lauren!
Oliver agrees to meet the girls out later for a drink. Raquel parks it directly between Lala and Oliver on a couch. Lala and Oliver are swiveling around trying to have a conversation about their children, but Raquel just doesn’t seem to notice. She’s gone completely Bambi-eyed. Eventually, Lala gives Raquel permission to pursue the soon-to-be single dad, and the rest is history. We end the episode with Raquel and Oliver making out on the dance floor. The fourth wall was left completely intact.

For fans of reality television, seeing famous families such as the Kardashians and the Hiltons taking over our screens was no surprise in the early days. These families practically RUN the “famous for being famous” trend in Hollywood and no one does it better.
Keeping Up With The Kardashians premiered in 2007 and introduced us to the shenanigans this elite family would put us through for years to come. The family dealt with Kim Kardashian’s sex tape drama with Ray J. They also pulled pranks, showcased family drama, and highlighted serious topics.
When viewers first met the family during the early 2000s, most of the group were already adults. Except for Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner. I wonder what their show would’ve been like if we saw some moments from Khloé Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian, and Rob Kardashian’s childhood.
Well, we may have just received the perfect glimpse. People reported that in a new excerpt of Paris Hilton’s book, Paris: The Memoir, the heiress recounted attempting to usher younger Khloé and others into a nightclub.

“One night I tried to smuggle my sister Nicky, our cousin Farrah [Aldjufrie] and our friend Khloé Kardashian into Bar One,” she wrote. “Khloé and Farrah were little middle-school girls, so I did Khloé up with full makeup, a long red wig and a floppy black hat.”
If that wasn’t enough, Paris revealed she even made Khloé go by a different name: Betsey Johnson. But that wasn’t sufficient. As Paris detailed, the group couldn’t even make it through the front door. “I put Farrah on top of somebody’s shoulders with a big trench coat,” Paris recalled. “We put so much effort into our disguises, we were shocked when we didn’t get past the velvet rope.”
I would have LOVED to see this moment play out on KUWTK several years ago. Imagine how funny it would be to see socialite Paris Hilton sneaking the younger generation of celebs into a nightclub dressed in funny disguises. Since we can’t play it back now, we’ll just have to relish in Paris’ memoir for the memories.

Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss’s recklessness truly knows no bounds. The Vanderpump Rules stars were recently exposed for having an affair behind Ariana Madix’s back. And it’s been a disaster ever since. Meanwhile, Ariana was supporting her man and being buddy-buddy with James Kennedy’s ex-fiancé the entire time. Now, Tom and Raquel are watching their stars plummet and are clearly grasping at straws to try to salvage what’s left of their careers. At least Raquel secured a promotions job at Schwartz and Sandy’s before it inevitably goes down the tubes.
Since the VPR #Scandoval broke, the entire universe surrounding the show has shifted. Scheana Shay allegedly had a heated dispute with her former friend Raquel after learning of the news. We will also all watch the rest of Pump Rules Season 10 with fresh eyes. Since we know that Raquel was really hooking up with Sandoval despite her Tom Schwartz-centric storyline. Again, it seems like damage control is the focus for Sandoval and Raquel now, even though they’re both doing a horrible job at it.
A “source” close to the drama recently spoke to Us Weekly and spilled more jaw-dropping tea. Apparently, Raquel and Sandoval are telling their buddies they’re in love. It’s safe to say that Schwartz is likely the only VPR cast member left that’s even on speaking terms with their pair. So, maybe he’s the anonymous source.
“They see a long-term future together,” the insider said. “Only time will tell if their bond can survive the backlash.” I’m sorry but, the total betrayal of Ariana aside, what do Sandoval and Raquel even have to talk about? How could they be forming a bond? Maybe they’re commiserating on their shared love of hurting people who are close to them. That’s the only explanation I could imagine.
The source continued, “Tom and Raquel are the real deal. They have confided to pals that it’s love and they have fallen hard for each other.”
We know that the foreseeable future of VPR is bound to be messy. But if Bravo really tries to convince us that Raquel and Sandoval are in love, I’m going to riot. Methinks the final nail in their coffin will come at the VPR Season 10 reunion if they even have the audacity to show up. Lala Kent surely has plenty of reads on deck ready to annihilate this clownish couple.

And the Oscars go to... You'll find out March 12, when awards in 23 categories celebrating the best in film will be presented at the 2023 ceremony. There, stars such as Elvis' Austin Butler, The...Ahoy there, Below Deck fans! We are getting ready to welcome old man Neptune himself back to the helm of the motor yacht St. David. Captain Lee Rosbach is here, and he’s ready to WOW us with non-sensical mottos. This week I clocked “madder than a pissed-on chicken” and “the more bread you have the less [shit] you have to eat.” I almost miss the pep talks.
Captain Lee is pleased to return to his crew so unified. He thinks Captain Sandy Yawn has done a great job. Little does he know she essentially tortured them until they huddled together like little ocean orphans waiting for the storm to pass. Or maybe it was the volleyball. I guess we’ll never know.
Women are information gatherers, and Leigh-Ann Smith is all woman. She has done her due diligence throughout her first few days with her new crew. Quickly, she and her bunkmate Hayley De Sola Pinto start swapping stories about Ben Willoughby. We’re honored to be a production-operated fly on this wall.
Leigh-Ann tells Hayley she met Ben on Tinder, and Hayley tells Leigh-Ann that Ben has already found himself a yacht bae this season. Leigh-Ann doesn’t take the news too hard. She doesn’t think it’s possible for Benny to be involved in anything too committed so soon. Poor sweet Leigh-Ann.
The guests are on board, and they look like how Planet Fitness smells. They’ve demanded a seafood extravaganza and cocktail pairing for their first lunch on board. Fraser Olender hands the cocktail-making over to Leigh-Ann. He’s putting her through her paces quickly. Lucky for her, Ben is there to offer boyish high-fives mid-shift.
For dinner, Chef Rachel Hargrove makes the guests a fish fully encrusted in salt. No one seems impressed except Captain Lee. He joined the guests for dinner, but I couldn’t pay any attention to that. The chyron kept distracting me. It was inexplicably reminding us of everyone’s relationship as a guest on the charter. HINT HINT.
Fraser gathers some information of his own the next day. When the guests first arrived on board, there was a strange moment where the primary shouts out a friend and suggests she sleeps on the couch (?) in his master suite. Fraser learns from said friend that she is actually the sister-in-law of the primary. Except, wait. She’s actually just a sister-like figure to the primary’s wife. She’s a hanger-on. And she’s here on the yacht with her “best friend’s” husband, sleeping in his room, while her sister-wife is home with their three children. Internet, do your work. Free that stay-at-home sister-wife from this greasy man for me, please!
It’s getting closer and closer to the finale of this relationship. In one scene, Katie Glaser and Ross McHarg are comparing themselves to Ben and Leigh-Ann. Katie says she approves of flirting at work. Cue Ross tackling her onto the closest horizontal surface in sight. And she swoons. It hurts to watch.
In her confessional, Katie tells the viewers that her relationship with Ross is “more serious than playing around at work.” In his interview, Ross reports that he actually just wants to have fun. And he’s not having enough. He reveals that his current lack of sex is starting to “hurt” him. Gross. And then we get several scenes of the deck crew sitting around.
Leigh-Ann is checking for Ben consistently throughout the episode. They have the honor of staying up late to tend to the beastly guests. They deliver bottles of tequila and ham sammies until dawn. Then Ben takes some extra time to send Leigh-Ann a goodnight text. Side eye.
Ben has already been somewhat honest with Leigh-Ann about his relationship with Camille Lamb. But don’t give him too much credit. Remember Leigh-Ann already knew the good word from Hayley and she dug it out of him. She’s playing smarter, not harder. Or trying to.
RELATED: Below Deck’s Captain Sandy Yawn Reveals Where She Stands With Camille Lamb Post Firing
The next day, Leigh-Ann and Ben are sent to shore to host a beach event. Ben is flirting openly with Leigh-Ann, and Katie starts to feel uncomfortable with how insincere he is being about his seriousness with Camille. Meanwhile, Leigh-Ann has my jaw in the basement when she calls Ben a “smooth operator” for walking out of the ocean in cargo shorts. She’s really digging this guy. We’re also treated to a scene of Ben texting Camille while standing 2 feet from Leigh-Ann. I can’t wait for the reunion!
And don’t you forget it! Fraser has totally come into his own on this charter. His boat daddy is back at long last and he is entering his 2.0 era! When faced with having to host a beach picnic in sketchy weather, Fraser and Ross come up with a new plan to better meet the guest’s needs. Fraser authoritatively puts his trust in Leigh-Ann to manage the shore event. He even seems pressed when she asks for extra accessories to boost the aesthetic.
Don’t you love gazebo-in-the-wind drama on Below Deck? I’m being pathetically serious when I say, I do. Besides, Leigh-Ann probably just realized these frat boys need some plastic tents to go with their corn hole. She’s brushed up on American culture.

To make some history of your own, sometimes you have to honor the past. Hulu's History of the World, Part II—starring, produced and written by Ike Barinholtz, Wanda Sykes and Nick Kroll—is a...There’s a comment that hasn’t aged well. Just before the news broke that Raquel Leviss and Tom Sandoval have been engaged in an affair since last summer, the former beauty pageant queen appeared on a recent episode of Page Six’s Virtual Reali-Tea podcast.
Page Six reported that all the while she was having a “full-on affair” with Sandoval, Raquel claimed to be “dating” herself during a “transformative” year. “[I’m] not opposed to dating, but I’m not on like, dating apps or anything,” Raquel clarified.
“I just, I don’t know, but I’m kind of like dating myself and I enjoy being single and I feel like being single has allowed me to really reflect on myself and spend quality time on myself,” Raquel added. “And I feel like that was much needed for me to grow into”
Raquel can be as single as she wants, but Vanderpump Rules fans won’t take kindly to hooking up with a partner who isn’t. She already got a lot of backlash for violating girl code and pursuing a newly divorced Tom Schwartz, a move which forced Raquel to work “through a lot.”
“This whole year has been so transformative for me and I feel like I worked through a lot of challenges, a lot of like mental blocks that have. Really like we’re constrained me my entire life, and I needed to overcome these challenges to step into the person that I am today,” Raquel said. “And I’m just really proud of how far I’ve come.” She concluded, “I’m truly finding out who I am as a person and stepping into my own.”
Some societal constraints are valuable, such as keeping your legs closed to claimed men. According to a source, the extent of the cheating includes “communicating inappropriately for months.”
Delightful. Meanwhile, Ariana Madix is “heartbroken” and “blindsided by the cheating.” The news came out after Tom and his band performed on March 1, 2023. All the more hurtful was that Ariana was a good friend to Raquel after she ended her engagement with James Kennedy.
“Ariana was there for Raquel,” a source told Page Six. Another revealed that Raquel and Sandoval “want to be together.” Inexplicably, then, the SUR server pursued Schwartz after beginning her affair with Sandoval.
Pump Rules co-stars made their distaste for the situation very clear, thanks to social media posts in real-time. Less than an hour after the news went public, James reposted a TMZ article to his Instagram. “Hope you feel as sick as I do,” he wrote. “This explains everything.”
Bravo will be filming the cast’s reactions. Needless to say, this news will drastically change the group dynamic.

The post Vanderpump Rules StarRaquel Leviss Said She Was “Dating” Herself Before Tom Sandoval Affair News Broke appeared first on Reality Tea.
The “Scheananigans” are over. Scheana Shay has pulled her support for co-star Raquel Leviss in the wake of the cheating scandal between the former beauty pageant queen and Tom Sandoval.
Scheana has firmly been in Raquel’s corner during this season of Vanderpump Rules. She notably encouraged Tom Schwartz to pursue Raquel. This caused a rift between Scheana and Schwartz’s ex-wife Katie Maloney.
It’s incredible that THIS was the Pump Rules scandal du jour only a few days ago. But now that the shocking affair between Sandoval and Raquel took down the last standing couple in the cast, Scheana finally had to change her position in support of Ariana Madix.
According to Page Six, Scheana and Raquel allegedly got into a “heated confrontation” when the Scheananigans podcast host discovered the transgression on March 1, 2023. The ladies have been doing press together for Season 10. A source exclusively told Page Six, “After taping Watch What Happens Live, Scheana and Raquel went out to drinks with friends.”
“At one point in the night, Scheana lost Raquel and then found her outside of the bar on the phone with Ariana, who Scheana could hear was bawling,” the insider shared.
Scheana confronted Raquel. She confessed to having a seven-month-long affair with Sandoval. While Ariana was “still on the phone.”
The source added, “A heated confrontation ensued following the revelation. They went back to the hotel separately and haven’t seen each other nor spoken since.”
Scheana also made a public statement by unfollowing Raquel on Instagram. “Scheana is done with Raquel after she betrayed Ariana. The friendship is over,” a source exclusively told Page Six.
Will Scheana be welcomed back into the VPR friend group after supporting Raquel and publicly pushing her and Schwartz together? Well, the Good As Gold singer was spotted at Ariana’s house Friday evening alongside Katie, and Kristen Doute. After the news broke, the trio rushed to their friend’s side to offer support. “Right now, Scheana is fully focused on supporting Ariana,” the insider stated.
For his part, Sandoval was seen performing with his band the same evening. The crowd shouted “Ariana.” The disgraced reality TV star responded, “We love her.”
More recently, the TomTom co-owner canceled an interview with Page Six and seems to be staying out of sight for now. After public backlash called for a boycott of the restaurant, he did make a public plea to direct anger at him, not the establishment. Besides that, Ariana, Sandoval, and Raquel haven’t directly addressed the scandal.
Ariana reportedly discovered a “sexually explicit video” of Raquel in Sandoval’s phone. Ariana was “blindsided” that Sandoval strayed and ended the nearly ten-year relationship.
Supposedly, the illicit couple “planned” to come clean to Ariana for some time before she found out. Of course, Bravo is capitalizing on the news and cameras are “rolling” to capture the cast’s reactions.

We’ve finally reached the end. The Real Housewives of Potomac has given us so much life, and their seventh season is finally ending. To all the ladies, thank you for five months of laughs, shade, reads like no other, and so much unexpected drama. Truly, the Potomac Housewives are in a league of their own, and they show us why every year. As we wrap up the final episode, here are the five main takeaways from RHOP Season 7 Episode 20.
We fans are finally getting answers to some of our burning questions about Jacquline Blake and Mia Thornton’s relationship. After a season of allegations and accusations, many of the RHOP ladies, including Gizelle Bryant, assumed Jacqueline and Gordon Thornton had a personal and intimate relationship. However, after last night’s showdown, we’re learning that is NOT the case.
Long story short, all rumors and stories surrounding their fishy relationship finally received answers. Gordon never bought or even put a down payment on Jacqueline’s car, the former trio has never been sexually intimate, and Mia didn’t support Jacqueline throughout filming as much as she claimed she did. All in all, from the looks of how Jacqueline’s segment ended, these two have no relationship as of today. And who knows if they ever will again.
Finally, now that we’re at the reunion, RHOP’s self-proclaimed Grand Dame can’t escape Potomac’s original HBIC, Charrisse Jackson Jordan.
After being confronted with the FACTS: Charrisse showed up for Karen’s mother’s funeral. Charrisse put the Real Housewives of Potomac group together, and she has real connections to their city
Karen Huger decided she would no longer participate in the conversation. And in genuine Karen fashion, she left the fans with NO resolution. NONE. But hey, I expected nothing less.
Either way, I hope that Season 8 of Potomac will feature Charrisse back in a full-time role or another glorified friend of position for the season. Karen needs someone that genuinely challenges her, and production has found the perfect person.
This season was particularly rough for Chris Bassett. Gizelle accused him of making her feel completely “uncomfortable” after the RHOP Season 6 reunion, where he asked to speak with her privately in her dressing room.
After this story came out, no one believed Gizelle. No one. Sure — we heard you, Gizelle, and I even understood why you could feel the way you did. However, what you’re claiming happened, NEVER happened. And that, as Chris and Candice Dillard Bassett have said, is beyond messed up.
Chris pressed Gizelle harder and harder, and as each minute counted down, she had no solid answer to his question: What did he do?
And after this segment, the cast taught me some things. Basically, Gizelle, you got caught. You wanted to make an exciting show. You wanted to be messy. And you wanted to get some drama started. I can appreciate and value you for that, but we want REAL drama. Not manufactured, planted, fake drama. And primarily lies that could impact families, businesses, reputations, and so much more. Gizelle, do better. And Chris, I’m sorry you had to deal with this during the season. Hopefully, Season 8 will be much better for you.

After an emotional conversation on colorism and how it impacts the Real Housewives of Potomac, Candiace took viewers, and her cast mates, on quite the ride when she claimed Gizelle and her proximity to whiteness is what causes people not to share their stories about their sexual assault.
It was definitely a shocker and quite the thing to say. As much as I love Gizelle and Candiace, and as a fan, seeing them in this place really sucks. However, Candiace’s mouth takes certain situations and makes them that much worse.
Gizelle is a Black woman. She’s spoken about it at length during RHOP Season 1 and has continued to talk about it throughout the run of the show. When she was confronted by some of her other co-stars, such as Ashley Darby and Dr. Wendy Osefo, Candiace acknowledged the severity of her statement but made it clear she said what she said. Candiace’s comments were irresponsible and simply unacceptable, and as much as I enjoy her, this is the side of her I HATE seeing on the show.
Does she give us a good read? Absolutely. Do we live for it? Absolutely. It’s the Real Housewives. But at some point, when do we say, “enough is enough”? Who knows. What I know is that Season 3 of Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip should be LIT.
As I watched the final part of Season 7, I realized I’m pretty over the Robyn Dixon and Juan Dixon marital drama. Juan is a liar and a cheater (thanks to the show, we know that for a fact), but at this point, Robyn may as well be classified as a liar, too.
After calling Karen crazy and lying to her cast members about the blonde Georgetown bombshell with whom Juan supposedly had an affair, she hops her dizzy self on her podcast and admits to lying to the audience. WTF?
Of course, Andy Cohen grilled her, and essentially, she didn’t have much to say other than she and Juan worked through the issues BEFORE the cameras went up. Which is why she didn’t make this part of her Season 7 storyline. However, that’s different from how this works, Robyn. You’re on a reality show about your real life. If you knew that Juan allegedly cheated on you and that stopped your wedding plans, why not say that? Especially when Karen had on her inspector hat all season long trying to get to the bottom of your relationship.
Quite frankly, there’s nothing else for her or Juan to say. But I will end with this: Juan, show up for your wife. No one and I really mean no one, would know who you are if it weren’t for Robyn being a star on the Real Housewives of Potomac. Thankfully, after Robyn was catapulted into the spotlight, people remembered you were some washed-up NBA player and decided to give you a chance to coach a college team. Put some respect on her name and your marriage, and do better. Here’s another idea. Maybe show up for a reunion and support your partner. Oh, and stop entertaining other women when you have a whole wedding band on.

The pressure and drama are building when it comes to Tom Sandoval seemingly cheating on Ariana Madix with Vanderpump Rules co-star, Raquel Leviss.
The tea has been overflowing since news broke that Tom has been hooking up with Raquel behind Ariana’s back. What makes it worse is that their affair has reportedly been going on for 6 months or so. According to People, Ariana really thought Tom was the one. A source claimed that “she was completely blindsided by this; devastated doesn’t even scratch the surface of how she feels.” The insider continued, “This is someone she thought she knew; someone she planned to spend the rest of her life with. You can’t even put into words that betrayal.”
On March 1, 2023, Tom had a show with his band, Tom Sandoval & the Most Extras, in Los Angeles. Ariana was there to support. In fact, word is, the two were lovey-dovey and even spotted making out.
Now here’s the tea. That night, Ariana discovered the alleged affair when a text from Raquel, apparently sexual in nature, popped up on Sandoval’s phone. She began scrolling through his phone and was able to see it all. There was a history of inappropriate texts between the two. Ariana and Sandoval quickly left the show after his performance.
Another source claimed that the couple had been having issues “for a while.” But this cheating bombshell “was the final straw for Ariana.” The insider added, “She put up with a lot over the years, but she won’t sit back and be disrespected this way.”
Raquel has been getting around. We met her through ex-fiancé of five years James Kennedy. She then dated restaurant manager Peter Madrigal. And don’t let it slip that before the cheating scandal with Sandoval was revealed, she also caught heat for allegedly hooking up with costar Katie Maloney’s ex-husband Tom Schwartz. Sheana Shay and Brock Davies’ wedding was the scene of their hookup.
The former couple’s Pump Rules castmates have chosen to side with Ariana. The friend group is shocked and cannot believe that Raquel and Sandoval would even do something like this. Leviss’ ex, James, reacted to the news on Instagram by posting a screenshot of the story with the caption, “Hope you all feel as sick as I do. This explains everything.” The post has since been deleted.
With Season 10 currently airing on Bravo right now, fans of VPR will be able to see it all play out because cameras are still rolling. Word is film crews even caught a sit-down between Ariana and Tom at their home Friday afternoon. They discussed the breakup. Sandoval was later seen packing his bags into a car outside of their home not long after the news broke.
