Ariana Madix’s Vanderpump Rules Reunion Revenge Dress Is Revealed

It’s safe to say that virtually every Vanderpump Rules fan is firmly on Team Ariana Madix after the #Scandoval of it all. Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss’s sneaky affair has made Season 10 even more chaotic than any of us, even Lisa Vanderpump, could have ever imagined. Thankfully, we’re watching the chaos all go down in real time on TV. The episodes just further prove that Sandoval and Rachel are so evil that they deserve each other. And somehow, Ariana is becoming even cooler than she was when she was born.

Ariana is obviously in a state of healing since the Pump Rules scandal exploded. She made it through filming the reunion, which we know was nothing close to peaceful. I have total faith that the universe is going to bless Ariana accordingly for having to deal with the disaster that is Tom Sandoval. But the reality TV addict in me can’t help but be over-the-moon excited for the dramatic VPR reunion. I mean, there’s been tea spilled left and right since #Scandoval broke. Half of it coming from Raquel’s own mouth. The reunion was even more heated — like, there were lawyers involved. You best believe I’m going to treat the reunion episodes like my own personal Super Bowl.

According to Page Six, Ariana’s VPR reunion revenge dress has been revealed. She held nothing back in her reunion fashion statement. She was by far the best dressed of the group. Ariana sported a body-hugging red dress that showed off her body-ody-ody in all of the right places. The red dress has cut-outs to show off her killer abs and her bob was sharp enough to say “whatever doesn’t kill me better run.” Literally, I couldn’t have dreamt of a better dress for her to wear while facing Rachel and Sandoval to duke it all out. Let them eat up every inch of this look.

Ariana and Andy Cohen teased ahead of time that her Vanderpump Rules reunion dress would make all of our jaws drop. Andy wouldn’t give any sneak peeks, but told us that it was the ultimate “revenge dress.” Ariana teased her boss that her ex-boyfriend’s eyes were “gonna bleed” after getting a look at her. And I can’t disagree. It’s not even worth it to make jokes at Sandoval’s expense. He’s the one that has to live with hurting such a knockout like Ariana for the rest of his life.

The Bachelor’s Kaity Biggar Says She and Gabi Elnicki Will Remain Friends Following Zach Shallcross Drama

Even though Kaity Biggar is wearing the “one ring to rule them all” following Bachelor Zach Shallcross’s proposal, she still believes that she and runner-up Gabi Elnicki will remain friends. Really? Would you be comfortable being friends with your future husband’s ex-girlfriend, the one with whom he had sex while he was also dating you? And why does that Friends song “I’ll be there for you . . .” keep playing in my head?

“We’ve already had trips together,” Kaity said. “We’ve been to Florida. A lot of the girls came to Austin for the premiere and, me, GabiAriel [Frenkel]Jess [Girod], and Mercedes [Northup] [are going to] Miami at the end of April.”

“We’re all very tight,” Kaity told Us Weekly’s Here for the Right Reasons podcast. Us Weekly has the story.

Despite repeatedly (and cruelly) saying his heart was torn between the two women, it was pretty obvious to fans — and especially to Gabi — that Zach had already made his choice long before the Final Rose Ceremony. Following the previous week’s rose ceremony, the Vermont native noticed that Zach seemed to only make eye contact with Kaity. Even though he’d been intimate with Gabi that week — or maybe because of it — he couldn’t look her in the eye.

Then when Gabi arrived for the Final Rose Ceremony in Thailand, she stepped into a mud puddle as she exited the car. Her nerves were showing, as she got a little cranky with production. “When it actually matters,” she scolded, “when Kaity arrives, don’t do that to her.”

Gabi has a heart of gold,” Kaity said. “She actually told me [about the mud puddle comment] after we finished filming. She’s like, ‘Oh my God, Kaity, I don’t know if they’re gonna air this, but this is what I did.’ And we were just howling about it.”

“We both [had] each other’s back throughout the whole season,” the travel nurse continued. “We confided in each other. I even told Zach, I was like, ‘She’s an incredible woman. You have a tough decision to make.’ Honestly [I got] such amazing friendships out of the season. I’m so grateful.”

RELATED: Rachel Recchia Supports “Queen” Gabi Elnicki After Bachelor Finale Drama

Sadly, we all watched as Zach broke Gabi’s heart and proposed to Kaity. Right after America watched the breakup on national TV, the two former lovers sat down with host Jesse Palmer. Gabi confronted her ex about telling Kaity — and “the whole nation” — that they had sex during their overnight date.

“In that moment,” Zach told Us, “I told her . . . ‘this can be [our] secret.’ And the guilt ate at me. That’s not [the man] I want to be — to hold secrets and not give the full truth.”

“Obviously,” Zach continued, “it caused a lot of pain though, and I don’t take away from that. I hope Gabi knows that like, the intentions were as pure as they could be, and I did not wanna hurt her.”

Meanwhile, Kaity admitted it was tough watching the episode, but knows her fiancé was just doing his best when he made the notorious “no sex” rule. “I wasn’t in his shoes,” Kaity told Us. “I think he has such an amazing heart and he just didn’t wanna muddy the waters, but obviously…it did.”

“Going in [to] Fantasy Suite week,” she continued, “I just wanted to use that time–that intimate time–to just get to know each other more on a more emotional level [without the cameras]. I was just looking forward to that.” The registered nurse also said she had been looking forward to their kayaking date, but sadly, that went “sour pretty quick.”

“But, in Bachelor world,” she admitted, “things don’t always go as planned, so I don’t think I really went in with a whole lot of expectations. I was just hoping it would go smoothly. We hit a hurdle for sure. But in the end, we came out stronger.”

Zach Shallcross And Kaitlyn Bristowe Discuss Nick Viall’s “Harsh” Critiques Of The Season 27 Bachelor

Two of Bachelor Nation’s most controversial players are joining forces against a third. Zach Shallcross recently sat down with former Bachelorette star Kaitlyn Bristowe and shared his reactions to Nick Viall’s show commentary.

Although she was initially critical of Zach’s choice as the Bachelor, Kaitlyn seems to have changed her opinion and invited Zach and his new fiancée Kaity Biggar to join her on her Off the Vine podcast. Us Weekly has the details.

“Thank you for reaching out,” Zach said on the March 30, 2023 episode. “It means a lot you know, when you’re someone very prominent [in the franchise]. There’s so many negative comments.”

“Oh, my God,” Kaitlyn agreed, “Nick was so hard on you.”

Zach claimed the Season 21 Bachelor had told him prior to filming, “‘Hey, man, I got your back, like I’ll support you.'” But soon afterward, the tech exec started seeing critical comments from Nick in the press.

Zach admitted he was hurt. “I’ve never met him. And I [thought], ‘It’s kind of an a-hole move.’ Maybe he didn’t mean to — maybe something he said got taken out of context . . . but from what I could see, it looked a little harsh.” No, I’m pretty sure he meant it, Zach.

“It was harsh,” Kaitlyn concurred. “And I was like, ‘Oh, that’s not very nice.’ Because once you’re in, like, you guys are family now.” But a pretty dysfunctional family, am I right?

As we all know, Bachelor Nation first met Nick when he competed on Seasons 10 and 11 of The Bachelorette. He finished as the runner-up for both Andi Dorfman and Kaitlyn, and reportedly slept with both of them. Next, he rehabilitated his “bad boy” image by being a good listener in Season 3 of Bachelor in Paradise. Nick so successfully won America’s hearts, he got the job as the Season 21 Bachelor

These days the University of Wisconsin grad recaps all things Bachelor Nation on his Viall Files podcast, where he posted some not-so-flattering comments about Zach during his journey.

“That’s 2 weeks in [a] row now Zach was a total dick to one of the [women],” Nick tweeted on February 27, 2023, when the Bachelor sent Jess Girod home for obsessing over the one-on-one dates. “It’s literally all about the one on one,” Nick continued. “Zach knows that. He made Jess feel like she messed up for expressing a valid concern. #thebachelor.”

The following week, Nick was back at it, tweeting his reactions to Zach’s interactions with the women. “Every time Zach hears any of the woman express an insecurity, instead of showing an ounce of empathy, his face just drowns in disappointment . Zach is now fully in ‘I’m the Bachelor, and it’s your job to prove to me you’re worthy’ mode.”

RELATED: Bachelor Zach Shallcross Explains Why He Told Everyone That He and Gabi Elnicki Had Sex After Promising to Keep It Private

After surviving his journey on The Bachelor and coming out successfully betrothed to Kaity, Zach expressed his “empathy for all [the] previous leads.” See, Nick? Zach has empathy. He says so.

“There hasn’t been one season where everyone has made the right decision or done everything the right way,” the Cal Polytechnic grad added. “There’s literally no right way. And people are very critical.” What about Sean Lowe, Zach? He didn’t tell multiple women he was in love with them, he didn’t sleep with anyone and he married the woman he chose at the end. Seems like he was pretty close to perfect, don’t you think, Zach?

Admitting that he sees Rachel Recchia in a different light now that he’s been in her shoes, Zach continued, “Sometimes you just make the decision that sounds right at the moment, and then you . . . look back and [realize] ‘I should have done things different.’” 

Zach then offered up possibly the best (worst?) example of a Bachelor who totally f ***ed things up, Clayton Echard. Also known as the man whose own father said he’d “screwed the pooch.”

“Clayton, for example, you know, he’s someone that reached out to support me and encouraged me during the negativity,” Zach explained. “He made a mistake in a very tough boiling point moment, and you can’t completely fault someone or make huge character claims about a single decision. So I have the utmost respect for everyone that have been put in those positions, obviously, if there’s good intent.”

“Unless you’re an a-hole,” he added. “I have a couple on my mind.”

Quick to agree, Kaitlyn laughed, “There’s a few of those! . . . [I know a couple of those] too.”

Top Iconic Real Housewives Of Atlanta Moments

Every city in the Real Housewives franchise has its own quirks and has generated its fair share of OMG moments. But I would venture a guess and say that since Real Housewives of Atlanta debuted in 2008, few have created as many legendary scenes. If you haven’t watched from the beginning, I humbly request you clear an entire weekend to binge the entire thing. RHOA offers the most quotable, sarcastic, and hilarious material. It also has some pretty dramatic disputes. If you’re lucky enough, sometimes all of this goes down in one scene before a commercial break.

All of the Real Housewives are wonderful, but few compare to our beloved RHOA. Let’s take a look back at how this particular show became a huge fan favorite and Bravo’s ace in the hole. Here are some iconic and memorable moments from our Atlanta ladies.

Phaedra Parks Lies About Kandi Burruss

This one stung because fans were invested in Kandi Burruss’ friendship with Phaedra Parks. We last saw Phae Phae on Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip, but she hasn’t been on RHOA since she left in Season 9. Phaedra went full traitor and was complicit in a rumor that alleged Kandi wanted to “rape” Porsha Williams in her “sex dungeon.”

To say Kandi was blown away by Phaedra’s betrayal would be a gross understatement. She was incensed by the accusations because she believed they could harm both her reputation and her personal brand. Porsha revealed who was leading the gossip pack during an incredibly heated reunion. “THE LIES, THE LIES, THE LIES” is burned in our memory banks forever. Phaedra never provided a motive for flapping her lips and crawled away into the night. Kandi said if Phaedra ever returned to RHOA, she would be out. Bravo must feel Phaedra paid her dues because she appeared on RHUGT and just nabbed a slot on Married To Medicine.

Marlo Hampton And Shereé Whitfield In South Africa

On RHOA, fights can be both vitriolic and humorous. It might sound like a fun combo in theory, but it’s a problem. When Marlo Hampton and Shereé got into a fight on a Season 4 trip to South Africa, it became quite evident. Shereé had a dinner party and left Marlo’s name off the list. It caused a huge commotion that resulted in some terrific verbal and nonverbal attacks. Although the actual battle of words took about 5 minutes to happen, its impact lasted for years.

Marlo criticized Shereé for spending time with “drug dealers” and having money issues. Shereé basically called Marlo a hooker and mocked her for “messing with an 80-year-old man.” Hands were tossed and hair was flicked. Marlo wound up saying some pretty offensive words and hopefully learned a lesson that day. Due to their friendship and apparent fondness for self-deprecation, Shereé and Marlo mimicked the famous altercation during Season 14.

BOLO, That’s All I Need To Say…

I’m pretty sure I could just write BOLO and everyone reading could come up with their own segment to this article. Some might even include carefully hand-drawn pictures. RHOA has given us many men over the years. Sure we love Miss Lawrence. Dwight Eubanks and his dancing with Phaedra at her baby shower will live on forever. And Gregg Leakes was obviously the king over a very tumultuous group of people. Then there was BOLO. Michael Bolo Bolwaire was not a “friend” of the cast. Nor was he a relative. BOLO is a dancer, of sorts, and he has… special talents.

People weren’t talking about BOLO’s interesting Chanel interpretation wardrobe pieces. They were mostly talking about his massive personal situation and what he might have done with it during a naughty soireé. For a reality television show with multiple cameras, something happened only certain people know about. Drew Sidora, Porsha, Tanya Sam, LaToya Ali, and Shamea Morton were dancing the night away and Kenya Moore twirled herself to bed. The rumor mill was buzzing and we never heard from Tanya again.

Porsha Williams And The Underground Railroad

I know this is a heavy part of RHOA canon, but I still can’t believe it happened. I literally watched it with my own eyeballs and heard it with my own ears and still can’t comprehend it wasn’t staged. Along with natural shade and the ability to be the moment, Porsha also has a ditzy side that we love. I mean, this is literally the same person who once declared there were 265 days in a year. Look, we can either laugh or blame the school systems. But few Porsha moments stick out like the Underground Railroad. As the granddaughter of civil rights pioneer Hosea Williams, who collaborated with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., her snafu wasn’t very cute.

When the cast visited Savannah, Georgia’s First Black Baptist Church the ladies learned it was a stop on the underground railroad. Porsha proceeded to open her mouth and say, “There has to be an opening for the railroad at some point.” Our sweet summer child thought there was a subterranean choo-choo train running people back and forth. Porsha added,” ‘Cause somebody’s driving the train. It’s not electric like what we have now.”

Porsha’s co-stars were… astounded. The tour guide was… laughing in disbelief. When it was explained to Porsha there was no real train down there she responded, “Just a railroad?” Some people weren’t able to reconcile Porsha’s mistake and laugh it off like a joke. In a confessional interview, Kenya said, ”It’s almost hurtful to me to watch her be so dumb.” Thankfully Porsha has redeemed herself in recent years.

Shereé Whitfield “Shifting” Kim Zolciak’s Head

This is easily one of my most-watched moments on RHOA. I will go ahead and confess most of the moments I consider most watchable involve Shereé. I just can’t quit someone who granted the world a blessing with, “Who’s gonna check me, Boo?” But Shereé gave us that and so much more. The wigs worn by Kim Zolciak have drawn a lot of attention, especially in her first few seasons. NeNe even used to call Kim “wig” as an insult. At one point her dismissive “bye wig” became what I regularly say to my cat when he huffs out of a room. As a result, one of the most famous RHOA moments is when Kim’s wig is yanked in a Season 2 episode.

Kim met NeNe and SheBySheBroke at a restaurant. They wanted to confront Kim about some rumors she was allegedly spreading about them. Everything started out just dandy and Kim even brought a bike helmet as comic relief. She probably should have put that thing on her head after all because the dinner went from just dandy to “Oh snap.” Voices rose and other people at the eatery were staring at Shereé and Kim verbally going to town. Kim told Shereé to “go f**k yourself” and made a run for the door. NeNe’s obvious embarrassment made it even funnier as she ran after them when they took to the sidewalk. The yelling on the sidewalk jumped to Shereé pulling on Kim’s Party City wig. In her interview, Shereé denied trying to yank the hair off Kim’s head. She only wanted to shift it, you guys! Shereé later said she just wanted Kim’s attention after she walked away from her. That’s certainly one way to get it.

Here’s The Reality Television I’m Watching This Week

Welcome back to another round of What I’m Watching This Week. Or as I like to call it, a guide to staying horizontal and disassociated from your own personal reality. If you can tear yourself away from TikTok long enough, you might just enjoy what Bravo, Netflix, and Peacock are giving us lately. 

Streaming – Love is Blind

Yowza this show never misses. So far, eight episodes of Love is Blind Season 4 have been released. Things are taking place in Seattle, with couples coming from all over the Pacific Northwest. As a local to the area, I can confirm those dark wooden apartments are actually the best (Nick Lachey) money can buy around here. I can also confirm these nerds are a high-end display of what this city’s dating scene actually has to offer. At least watch this series for the scenery and Zack Goytowski’s singing.  

Watch on Netflix now. New episodes released Friday. 

Streaming – Married at First Sight

If you’re already into Love is Blind, then you’re going to love Married at First Sight. Season 16 is airing on Lifetime right now. But you could also binge all of Seasons 10, 11, and 12 on Netflix now. Personally, I haven’t been keeping up with this one, but I’ll be catching up this week. I am gripped by the blind marriage/love shows right now. Except, instead of a boy band frontman leading this series, there are actual doctors and psychological experts guiding the contestants of MAFS through the process.

Watch on Lifetime Wednesday at 8 ET. Or stream seasons 10, 11, or 12 on Netflix Now. 

Monday – Summer House 

Okay onto the real blind romance of the year. Carl Radke and Lindsay Hubbard. What in the babe has gotten into these two? Are you buying this love story? Am I a total monster for thinking it’s completely fake, even if the two lovers themselves don’t notice yet? Where is this new “fairy tale” romance going to leave Danielle Olivera and Kyle Cooke at the end of the day? Will Rad-House even have a reason to come back next year? 

Watch on Bravo Monday at 8 PM ET. 

RELATED: Vanderpump Rules Star Lala Kent Says She Suspected Tom Sandoval And Raquel Leviss Affair Prior To The News Breaking

Wednesday – Vanderpump Rules 

Obviously, I’m watching Vanderpump Rules this week. The crew is finally in Mexico for Scheana Shay’s wedding to Brock Davies. All eyes will be on Raquel Leviss, though. Much to Katie Maloney and Lala Kent’s chagrin. Last week Ariana Madix said she was excited to spend some quality time at the resort with the man she once swiped from Kristen Doute. Don’t miss this one! It’s sure to be a roaring dumpster fire

Watch on Bravo Wednesday at 9 PM ET

Thursday – Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip

Thank ya baby Jesus for this franchise. I cannot get enough of watching Heather Gay be thrown under the bus for her loyalty to Jen Shah by the Housewives guild. I’m also loving the Candiace Dillard Bassett vs. Gizelle Bryant and Porsha Williams arc. And please don’t forget Marysol Patton and her sudden yet deeply concerning stomach ulcer. We have a lot to check up on. 

Stream on Peacock now. New episodes released Thursday.

'The Bachelor's Gabi Elnicki reacts to Zach Shallcross' claim he didn't lie to her

Love Is Blind Host Vanessa Lachey Stands By Husband Nick Lachey Amid Legal Issues With Photographer

When a former boy band singer extraordinaire nabbed a job hosting Love Is Blind with his wife, all seemed good in Nick Lachey’s world. The normally calm existence of Nick and Vanessa Lachey shifted on Oscar night 2022.

After enjoying a dinner out and maybe having one too many adult beverages, Nick and Vanessa emerged from a restaurant. They noticed a photographer across the street, and she was sitting in her car snapping photos of the couple. Allow me to remind you, this is normal in Hollywood.

The shock of having someone interested in taking his photo must have been too much for Nick. He became somewhat enraged and approached photographer Jody Santos in her vehicle. He called her a “p***y mother f**cker” and allegedly began punching her closed car window. When Jody inquired as to why Nicky was so upset, he reached through her window and tried to grab her phone.

Vanessa ALLEGEDLY did very little to defuse the situation. It’s said, rather, she was cheering him on from the sidelines as he attempted to intimidate the now flustered Jody. The next day, Nick acknowledged on Twitter he “overreacted” after dining out with his wife, but it wasn’t enough for Jody who was probably traumatized from being threatened by a man who reached his peak when tribal tattoos were a thing.

In a previous interview with The Daily Mail, Jody shared, “In all my years of photographing celebrities, no one has ever tried to hit me. I am just relieved that I rolled up my window as fast as I did, otherwise he would have knocked me out. No doubt about it.”

Nick has since been ordered to attend Alcoholics Anonymous and anger management classes. Now Vanessa is speaking about the incident. According to Us Weekly, she’s not condoning his behavior, but she’s standing by her man.

A source shared, “Vanessa likes to look at the bright side of things. She stands by Nick, but she agrees that he didn’t handle the situation correctly.” I guess the “bright side” is someone knowing who they were. The insider added, “He behaved inappropriately. She says this whole ordeal has been a wake up call and that we can all learn from it, especially Nick.”

With all due respect, it’s not like Nick is an outlaw on the run in the Old West. That said, this is the first time he’s had any repeated media attention in about 20 years, so by all means go ahead and milk it. Nick can relax because it will probably be another entire decade before someone wants his photo again.

Dancing With The Stars Judge Carrie Ann Inaba Had An Emergency Appendectomy

Dancing with the Stars is in the middle of a lot of changes. Host Tyra Banks has moved on and former DWTS pro Julianne Hough is taking her place. Julianne will handle the front of the house along with Alfonso Ribero, who thankfully kept his slot.

Legendary judge Len Goodman retired from his chair of criticism and praise. And he will be missed. Julianne’s brother Derek Hough is keeping his judge’s chair, but Len will not be replaced. Correction, Len cannot be replaced. Returning judges will be Bruno Turniolo and Carrie Ann Inaba. Also, there will never be a time in my life when I write her name without hearing the dulcet tones of announcer Alan Dedicoat saying, “CARRIE ANN INABAAAA.”

Speaking of Carrie Ann, our girl has been having a rough time – and that’s putting it mildly. In an unfortunate turn of events, Carrie Ann has been sidelined by an angry appendix. E! News has the details.

On Instagram, Carrie Ann told her followers she was diagnosed with acute gangrenous appendicitis. Okay, this is horrible on several levels. First, acute gangrenous appendicitis is when your appendix is SEVERELY inflamed and has signs of dead tissue. Secondly, she must have been in an enormous amount of pain.

Carrie Ann underwent an emergency appendectomy but had “a few small complications.” Unfortunately, the “small complications” resulted in a 4-day vacation in the hospital. The professional dancer was experiencing extreme discomfort, but that’s standard in the life of a dancer. That said, Carrie Ann regrets delaying her treatment.

She said, ”I should have come straight to the hospital right when the pain in my abdomen started, after the sudden and violent vomiting that knocked me off my feet.” She should have, but pain often gets put aside when you’re a single parent. And yes, that includes kids who are furry and have four legs. I’ll die on this hill.

Carrie Ann added, “I should have gone when I couldn’t stand without excruciating pain, but I honestly didn’t want to leave my babies, and I’m so accustomed to pain—thought I should let it play out.” Well, it definitely played out. Carrie Ann’s reluctance to care for herself only added to the time away from her family.

Thankfully her scary episode is over and Carrie Ann is on the mend. Her recovery will take four to six weeks and she clearly learned her lesson. She advised her fans appendicitis attacks can “happen suddenly and seemingly out of nowhere.” They can also be life-threatening, so please don’t hesitate to seek medical advice if you find yourself suffering.

She continued, “And when you are in that much pain, the last thing you want to do is go anywhere. And when you have autoimmune disease, you are often having strange health occurrences that no one can explain or help you with so sometimes, you try to wait it out, like I did. I was wrong.” It sounds like Ms. Inaba might have had a firm talking-to by her concerned surgeon. Carrie Ann urges people to head to the doctor because “it could be something very serious.”

It definitely sounds like the least enjoyable situation possible and Carrie Ann is very fortunate. “While it’s been quite a painful experience, I also know it’s a gift to even feel this pain, she explained. “I realize after speaking with my doctor that it could have been much worse.” Ah yes, that’s the physician lecture coming in loud and clear. You may not know, but Carrie Ann has several autoimmune diseases that can complicate even the smallest health scares.

She said, “One of the biggest gifts of having autoimmune conditions is that you become much more aware of how fragile your health can be. With autoimmune conditions, there’s so little that they know about it that there’s so much space to grow and learn and be your own best advocate.” In a special mention to the staff in charge of her care, she wrote, “Special shout out to the wonderful staff of doctors, nurses and aides at @cedarssinai for taking such good care of me.” Glad Carrie Ann is doing well and back with her fur kids.

Kim Richards Sheds Light On Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills Return Amid Falling Out Between Kathy Hilton And Kyle Richards

One goes out and one comes back. It’s a good thing Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards has sisters. She should probably send both of them a bouquet of fresh flowers on a daily basis for elongating her tenure on the show.

Season 12 of RHOBH was a challenge for everyone from the cast to the viewing audience. Fans were accosted by constant lip-licking and gaslighting. The ladies could barely tolerate each other in a group and Erika Jayne’s lack of empathy for widows and orphans seemed to keep everyone in a dark mood.

Kathy Hilton was brought in to assist Kyle because let’s be frank, Kyle has very little substance without a sibling to boost her storyline. Over the years Kim Richards had been Kyle’s content wingman but left the show to spend time with her growing family and continue her recovery from substance abuse.

During a cast trip to Aspen, Kathy had an alleged meltdown. It may or may not have involved slurs and possibly spewing fire from her mouth. After Kyle took Lisa Rinna’s side in the argument, Kathy and Kyle had a falling out.

Now it appears Kathy isn’t filming Season 13 (yet) and Kyle was left blowing in the wind all alone. Instead of gearing up and standing solo, sister Kim was brought back in. Now Kim is explaining her return in the middle of Kyle and Kathy’s feud.

According to Page Six, Kim wants Kathy and Kyle to repair their relationship. Kyle probably wants Kim on RHOBH to make her seem interesting. Kim said, “I think this whole thing between the sisters was hard.” Hard, yes. Unusual, no. This is because since 2010 Kyle’s “thing” has been sparring with a sister on reality television.

She added, “So I’m hopeful that we’ll be able to put it back together soon.” Humpty Dumpty was hopeful too and we all know what happened to that poor guy. Are we really subjecting viewers to another cyclical romp around the Maypole with Kyle and whatever relative she’s having problems with? Family drama is great, but is there anything else we could hope for? Real Housewives of New Jersey called and said, “excuse me, what’s wrong with neverending issues between siblings?”

Kyle was with Kim at Sutton Stracke’s four-year anniversary party for the Sutton Concept boutique in West Hollywood. She said it “feels great” to have Kim on the show.

“It feels really good,” Kyle continued. “She always reminds me that I’m the baby sister and she checks on me, so it feels really good.” Did it feel good not standing up for Kim when Rinna was on the show? Would Kim be welcomed back if Rinna hadn’t gotten the axe?

“Obviously, we’re a family and we’ve gone through hard times before and we always come back together, so that’s my hope again – to have us all come back together,” Kyle shared. Do they all actually come together or is there a Hilton/Richards prerequisite stating at least one of them has to be mad at the other so life as we know it doesn’t end?

As for Kim, she mentioned she was reluctant to come back to RHOBH after her extended time off. “I took this time off and I wasn’t sure if I wanted to come back at all,” she said. There will be people saying it’s not in Kim’s best interest to film due to her past, but it’s her decision to make.
“I think with everything that’s kind of gone on with my sisters and I’m thinking ‘I need to start getting out,’ I wanted to come in and see my sister and spend a little time with her,” Kim confessed.

Ultimately Kim said it’s a “day by day” process for her and she’ll deal with it as it comes. She recently became a grandma for the third time and doesn’t “want to take away too much time from them.” Kim isn’t the only alum we’ll see this season. Bravo also called in favors to Denise Richards and Camille Grammer. Looks like we’re also possibly gaining one new diamond holder in Annemarie Wiley. Stay tuned to see who else pops up in Season 13.

TELL US- ARE YOU GLAD KIM WILL SHOW UP ON RHOBH AGAIN? DO YOU THINK KYLE CAN CARRY THE SHOW WITHOUT A SISTER? IS KATHY HILTON COMPLETELY DONE WITH FILMING?

Top Real Housewives Comebacks That Hit Below The Belt

For the most part, ignorance is bliss and not knowing someone despises you can be beneficial. Polite society tells us to keep our mouths shut if we can’t say anything nice, but polite society is definitely not reality television. The ladies featured on the Real Housewives franchise do their very best to present as sweet women of high society, but some of these sweet women have a vicious streak.

Most of the time we see true colors come out during a reunion or alcohol-filled dinner. For some reason, the most savage character traits come out when a cast is on a luxurious vacation. Whether it is home base or a faraway land, there’s not a lot that will stop an argument that’s been brewing since the previous episode. Despite someone’s best effort to remain composed, there’s always a chance one of the stars will snap, and snapping inevitably leads to venom. While no one wakes up intending to hit below the belt, it’s difficult to sweetly ask an oncoming train to slow down. Let’s take a look at some of the hardest-hitting clap backs that perhaps went a little too far.

Real Housewives Of Atlanta / Kenya Moore And Marlo Hampton

During Real Housewives of Atlanta’s Season 9, Marlo Hampton took her usual snark and leveled up to meet the final boss. Unfortunately, the final boss wound up being the fans she angered by hitting Kenya Moore below the belt. During Season 6 of RHOA, all appeared to be well between Marlo and Kenya. Two polarizing figures joining forces could create quite an impact on such a… heavily opinionated cast. NeNe Leakes wasn’t too fond of their friendship because she couldn’t tolerate moving down a notch. Marlo knew who the popular kid in the group was and never stopped trying to edge her way back into NeNe’s heart. When they finally resolved their differences, this put a rift between Marlo and Kenya’s relationship. NeNe didn’t like Kenya, therefore Marlo could not like Kenya.

Basically, after Season 6 Marlo and Kenya did nothing more than endlessly irritate each other. During a camping trip, Kenya once again found herself on the receiving end of Marlo’s running mouth. Marlo decided to take a very sensitive and tender subject and throw it in Kenya’s face. She called Kenya evil and concluded that was the reason Kenya’s mother disowned her as a child. Kenya was highly and rightfully offended and her co-stars called Marlo out. It wasn’t one of Marlo’s finest moments, but she did eventually share she regretted attacking Kenya in that manner.

Real Housewives Of New York / Dorinda Medley And Tinsley Mortimer

I hope Tinsley Mortimer is doing great. I also hope Dorinda Medley is doing great. Chances are very good they’re both fine, but the two weren’t exactly copacetic on Real Housewives of New York. For the most part Dorinda was your average American wealthy lady of leisure. But when Dorinda drank, she basically became another person. It’s fair to say Dorinda drank a lot.

Tinsley wasn’t on RHONY for long. She had visions of wedding bells and babies dancing in her head. But hadn’t made a lot of progress with either. Tinsley desperately wanted a husband and family but her life had taken certain detours stalling her fairytale ending. In an effort to be proactive, like many women Tinsley took measures to hopefully ensure she would one day be a mom.

Her love life struggled and for whatever reason, Dorinda wasn’t very kind to Tinsley during vulnerable occasions. At one point Dorinda took it too far, and it might have been an extra nail in her Bravo contract coffin. During one of her final RHONY on-camera moments, Tinsley shared she was leaving the show to hopefully find everlasting love (she didn’t). Dorinda was definitely not interested in Tinsley’s quest for marriage, but she did slam her desire for children. Dorinda said, “I don’t want to talk about it. I really want to make it disappear. Just don’t bring life to it.” Then she added, “I’ve got a turkey baster. Maybe try and have a baby.” Tinsley made her exit and after that comment, Dorinda wasn’t far behind.

Real Housewives Of Orange County / Shannon Storms Beador And Kelly Dodd

I truly feel for Shannon Beador. I know she’s moderately insufferable, but no one deserves what Shannon has experienced. This woman has been through the wringer on Real Housewives of Orange County. After years of trying to repair her self-worth, Shannon thought the warmth of true love had finally called her number. Unfortunately, it was ripped away at the end of 2022. Before John Janssen, there was David Beador. Chip-eating and cheating, David’s infidelity almost ruined Shannon’s life. To be blunt, she was miserable to watch due to the inherently sad subject matter. It was equally disturbing to see Shannon and David’s daughters witnessing the demise of their parents’ marriage. Shannon was raw, open, exposed, and clearly hurting.

Enter Kelly Dodd who could smell blood in the water like a great white shark and bite when you least expect it. During one of Shannon’s special parties with a 1970s theme, things went from wonderful to what-in-the-world when Kelly and Shannon started a back-and-forth war of words. The embarrassing scene culminated in Kelly going full lowbrow and commenting on Shannon’s shaky marriage that was currently under construction. Normally checking a cheating husband isn’t considered below the belt, but due to Shannon’s struggles, it knocked the wind out of her. Kelly’s blow was aimed at David. She loudly said, “No wonder why you’ve cheated on your wife.” Shannon was horrified and humiliated once again and Kelly was left to use her mouth as a weapon until she was fired in Season 15.

Real Housewives Of Potomac / Candiace Dillard Bassett And Ashley Darby

Real Housewives of Potomac is heavy with star potential. Grand Dame Karen Huger presides over the ladies even though they don’t take her too seriously. Candiace Dillard Bassett has some of the best lines you will ever hear. If you are involved in an argument, you’re gonna want Candy on your side. She clashes with many, but consistently butts heads with co-star Ashley Darby. Candiace will violate every single one of your senses, but sometimes she takes it too far. In my opinion, reads are clever due to the quality of information being used at the time, but it doesn’t take a genius to make fun of someone’s looks. That’s when you know you’ve lost and in one particular instance, Candiace failed to score a point against Ashley.

During birthday festivities for Robyn Dixon, Candiace found yet another opportunity to share her feelings with Ashley. Candiace wasn’t pleased Ashely instigated a disagreement between Wendy Osefo and Gizelle Bryant on a previous girls’ trip. Ashley had just given birth and was grabbing pre-made breastmilk so she could peace out after sparking the intense convo. Candiace approached her when Ashley arrived at a brunch and left no mercy. Candiace said, “You brought your widebody as down to Williamsburg to spread lies and bullsh*t and then you took off with your breastmilk.” Ashley attempted to clock her on the body shaming, but it only proved to egg Candiace on. She actually said Ashley body-shamed herself just by walking into the room. She also told Ashley she has a “big as* face” along with a “big as* forehead.” I enjoy Candiace a great deal, but body shaming is not the way.

Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills / Brandi Glanville And Adrienne Maloof

What Brandi Glanville did to Adrienne Maloof when they both starred on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is one for the history books. Brandi actually took private information and shared it with the cast of RHOBH during a dinner. It was so personal, Bravo went through the trouble of bleeping out Brandi’s words until the information was fully public. It’s sad when a network known for promoting bad behavior now has to cover the bad behavior.

During a filmed dinner, Brandi blurted out to the masses that Adrienne had chosen surrogacy to have her twins after a complicated first pregnancy. Adrienne and Paul Nassif had been previously advised by a child therapist not to reveal the assistance until their kids were mature enough to process the information. But Brandi’s big mouth took care of that for the Maloof/Nassif family.

Brandi was sent a cease and desist via Paul’s attorneys and it sparked an enormous feud. Sides were taken and to the viewers’ surprise, Brandi persevered. Due to legal reasons, Bravo was even forced to cut scenes from the final edit of the show. In a franchise whose motto appears to be, “leave the children out of it,” Brandi dropped the ball and received little reprimanding for her efforts. Paul and Adrienne divorced shortly after the drama died down. Brandi’s whereabouts are currently unknown, but she’s definitely not filming anything for Bravo.
