Real Housewives Who Need A (Better) Storyline

The Real Housewives franchise is an enigma, wrapped in court cases and drama. The value of watching people live luxurious lifestyles, that sometimes gets them in trouble, has become its own celebrated genre of entertainment.

And entertainment is the name of the game. There are polarizing Real Housewives, but they’ve earned their keep whether fans are personally thrilled with them or not. They share their lives, flaws and all. They also seemingly don’t care about the court of public opinion as long as the checks keep rolling in.

But what about the cast members who are there but don’t really do much. They will drive a storyline of someone else, but their own content is pretty much dusty and barren. At times, when certain people receive new contracts, the fandom is shocked because a potted plant has more personality. Let’s look at a few Real Housewives who have been on their show for a minute, but the clock is ticking on the remaining time we will devote to waiting for some action.

Real Housewives Of Dubai / The Whole Cast

Look, I’m not trying to start anything here but I was personally underwhelmed by Real Housewives of Dubai. The views were stupendous. The real estate was magnificent. The luxury was obvious. But my lord that show dragged. It was surprising with superior characters like former Ladies of London star Caroline Stanbury and the incredibly flawless Chanel Ayan. The show already lost Nina Ali who won’t return next season, but did she add anything relevant enough to miss?

The cast didn’t seem to like each other or flow. Lesa Milan even said she “can’t stand” her co-stars which could have contributed to the relatively bland episodes. Even Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Phaedra Parks couldn’t inspire any razzle-dazzle in the ladies. Don’t get me wrong, it was good enough to win a Season 2, but there was quite a delay before it was confirmed. Some fans couldn’t get enough of the debut franchise and others thought it was a complete dud. We’ll have to keep our fingers crossed that all parties will be satisfied going into their second time at bat.

Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills / Crystal Kung Minkoff

Crystal Minkoff joined Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in Season 11. Most of us like to call this… The Dark Times. Poor Crystal walked straight into a mess and had a lot of adjustments ahead of her. And this particular cast of women certainly didn’t make it easy. While Crystal hasn’t been on the show for long, her time so far hasn’t exactly been spectacular.

It’s not good when the first thing that pops into your head regarding Crystal’s time on the show is her ugly leather pants. It’s fine if she isn’t a drama succubus, but give us something other than accusing Sutton Stracke of saying something she may or may not have said. Some even felt the boring storyline helped throw dirt on an already perished Season 12. It was, in essence, a complete waste of the viewers’ valuable time.

Any type of reaction when Erika Jayne drunkenly lowkey mocked eating disorders would have been nice. That said, RHOBH has some history when it comes to Real Housewives with only one dimension. Crystal technically checks most of the boxes and it almost seems like her richness mildly irritates Kyle Richards. She could very well be an asset to the show if she could pump up the volume. We’ll wait, but not for long.

Real Housewives Of Orange County / Emily Simpson And Gina Kirschenheiter

Real Housewives of Orange County has been on the struggle bus for years. As the show heads into its 17th season, some folks are wondering how Emily Simpson and Gina Kirschenheiter still have an orange. I’m trying to recall anything either of them have added to the show and I simply cannot. We know Emily’s husband passed the bar exam after approximately 833 attempts. We know Gina had a casita and now lives with her new boyfriend and all of his kids. Other than some yelling at the behest of vodka sodas, these two aren’t doing much.

You’d think by now maybe they could band together. Perhaps one part Gina and one part Emily would make one whole person with depth and interesting qualities. These ladies might want to activate any available Wonder Twins powers because the fandom is growing impatient. Especially since co-stars and viewers have actively been calling for both of their dismissals for years. There is nothing intrinsically wrong with them, but it’s a mystery as to how Em and Gina continue showing up on RHOC after giving very little.

Real Housewives Of Potomac / Robyn Dixon

Yes, you knew this one was coming. Real Housewives of Potomac star Robyn Dixon has a problem. That problem’s name is Juan Dixon. Unfortunately, Juan can’t keep his Dix in his pants and remain faithful to Robyn. The other problem is Robyn basically refuses to address it on the show. Oh she’ll casually reference it if the subject comes up, but ‘ol Robyn would prefer you to pay her to get the real story. Robyn tried to create something from nothing by selling hats, but when you have people like Karen Huger and Ashley Darby on your cast, no one is really going to care about Bedazzled headwear.

And that sucks for Robyn because the only thing she does on RHOP is glom onto Gizelle Bryant and her questionable choices. The two are playfully known as the Green-Eyed Bandits, but they might be one bandit down if Robyn doesn’t switch it up. Fans of the show have grown weary of Robyn’s reluctance to move past an obviously tragic relationship and evolve into someone with more range and character. To Robyn fans, we ask, when will a lot of nothing be enough? Since Season 1 we have patiently watched and waited for Robyn to at least be honest about her relationship and now we’re up to Season 7. There’s only so long her friendship with Gizelle can save her.

Real Housewives Of New Jersey / Melissa Gorga

Melissa Gorga is basically the Cher of Real Housewives of New Jersey. No offense to Cher. She has lasted a long time and it doesn’t look like she’s going anywhere in the near future. But, since the show mainly revolves around Teresa Giudice and her personal issues, Melissa serves a purpose. We are on Season 13 and Melissa joined in Season 3. For 10 seasons straight, with the exception of Tre being in jail, fans have watched Melissa and Teresa fight. It has become redundant and Teresa is just as guilty as Melissa. That said, Teresa gives her heart and soul to this show. I’m not even a big Tre fan but I refuse to be a hypocrite about an actual legend.

And still, the problem with Melissa exists. She tries hard, you guys. Melissa tried to give us a missing sister. Then we went through Melissa’s boss bitch phase. How could we forget Melissa’s new baby that never came to fruition? I’m not sure we have seen another Real Housewife try so hard to grab a storyline and epically fail on a regular basis. It all comes back around to fighting with her sister-in-law. Melissa needs Teresa on the show, but does Teresa need Melissa? She doesn’t really need Joe Gorga around now that Luis Ruelas is there to eventually ruin her life. So is Melissa’s “purpose” finally over? Or does RHONJ need to keep Tre’s brother and wife on the sidelines to lift Teresa up when she’s feeling down? Is it time for Melissa to finally pack her toys and go?

Former Chrisley Knows Best Star Lindsie Chrisley Reveals Why She Hasn’t Visited Julie Chrisley In Prison

Lindsie Chrisley is the lesser-known sister in the Chrisley family. She is one of Todd Chrisley’s two children by his first wife. Lindsie has also had a very questionable relationship with her father and his second spouse, Julie Chrisley.

When Chrisley Knows Best first premiered, Lindsie was featured as a newly-married mom of a young child. She participated in all of the usual Chrisley antics, but in Season 5, Lindsie basically disappeared. It seemed as the core family became more famous, Todd’s relationships with his two oldest children broke down. Per Us Weekly, it was rumored Lindsie was the source behind the info that led to Todd’s arrest in 2019.

Todd and Julie’s legal troubles didn’t end, they only got worse. Much worse. Cut to June 2022 when they were convicted of bank fraud and sentenced to prison. Todd earned himself twelve years and Julie got six. They both reported to their respective facilities in early 2023. Naturally, the drama has garnered a great deal of media attention and prior to being locked away, Lindsie apparently made amends with her parents.

Now Todd and Julie are in their new homes and Lindsie has definitely kept her followers informed of their progress. She has visited Todd, but Julie has yet to receive the pleasure. According to Lindsie, it’s paperwork complications. Page Six has the details.

After the couple attempted to submit fake documents to banks and multiple other sketchy paper-doctoring, they finally got nabbed after years of defending themselves. Julie and Todd did not admit guilt and take a plea deal, so now they’re basically sitting on a cot paying their dues to society.

RELATED: Chase Chrisley Finally Addresses His Parents’ Prison Sentencing In New Interview With Savannah Chrisley

While Todd and Julie have been on the receiving end of lovely visits from family, Lindsie isn’t on Julie’s guest list. On an episode of her Southern Tea podcast, Lindsie said, “I have not been to Lexington to visit her [Julie] yet.” She explained it’s been a “frustrating” ordeal trying to navigate the visitation process.

“I sent in all of my paperwork and have yet to hear back regarding the visiting. So, it’s been a little bit frustrating,” Lindsie explained. Also, Julie’s prison has a whole different way of approving visitors that differs from Todd’s prison policy.

“The attempts to try to communicate have been a lot different than communicating with my dad,” she shared. Lindsie might be having issues, but Savannah Chrisley certainly isn’t. Both Sassy and Nanny Faye have seen Julie and say she is “doing very well.”

Is that odd? I don’t know because I’m not currently visiting many friends or family members in jail. Perhaps Julie’s prison only allows a certain number of people approved at a time. Or maybe Julie just doesn’t want to see the person who allegedly tipped off the Feds because she was mad at Daddy. Don’t worry, as soon as Lindsie is able to see Julie, she’ll let her followers know less than 30 seconds after she receives the info.

Teresa Giudice’s Best Looks Over The Years

Real Housewives of New Jersey original Teresa Giudice isn’t afraid of stealing the spotlight. While her family drama has been tabloid fodder for years, her fashion choices are also a topic of hot discussion. Whether you like her looks or not, you’re always going to remember them. Here’s a look back at the New Jersey native’s most memorable looks. Can she outshine Melissa Gorga?

Ready For The Ballroom

Teresa knew she had to stand out when RHONJ Season 1 started. This was a platform not afforded to many people. She could make a full-time career out of this shift to reality TV. And it turns out, she was the perfect person for it. Who couldn’t become enamored with the woman who bravely wore this deep purple number? And to pair it with those golden heels and earrings? The times may change, but that look is forever. Fans knew Teresa was going to be THE moment, from THIS moment.

Let’s Get Loud

Serving fashion while pregnant is a tough job. This may not be a look for everybody, but Teresa knows how to make just about anything work. Glowing while just a few weeks out from labor, she matched a casual green top with a tie-dye bandana, complete with standard denim jeans, a small gold heel, and matching accessories. Teresa seems a little out of her comfort zone here, but when you’re the queen of New Jersey, you shine no matter what. Take notes, ladies!

Welcoming A New Fashionista

When Audriana Giudice was born, Teresa showed you can still deliver a moment from your hospital bed. The leopard print was all the rage back in 2009, and Teresa was all in. This was such an iconic look, that it was recreated by Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kandi Burruss when she gave birth to her son Ace Wells Tucker in 2016. Sharing this precious moment with viewers was a gift. Teresa has given everything to her reality TV career, and fans are grateful for it.

A Classy Book Signing

Teresa kept it classy when promoting her book Skinny Italian. She didn’t need to show off every inch of her body to look good. Caroline Manzo was probably just happy she wasn’t being teased in this book release. Tre dazzled in this short blue dress with a full-length zipper. The silver bracelet complements the color perfectly. And those nude heels? The best finish she could have had for this look. This outfit seemed like the start of a new era of fashion for Teresa that screamed “Fabulicious!”

Pretty In Pink

Ruffles don’t look good on just anybody. Thankfully, Teresa looks fantastic here. She should wear pink more often because the color makes her shine. She could never be accused of wearing an understated earring with these outfits, and the golden bracelet pops. Tre also has that model pose down to a T by this point. This outfit is simple by design, but Teresa ensures it delivers a message: she’s the ultimate Real Housewives star, and nobody can dim that shine.

Strike A Pose

There is an elegance in simplicity, and it’s often underrated. That is what Teresa is serving up with this stunning look. The black heels match the main color blocking of the dress. Then pairing the color of her nails with the nude illusion cutouts? It is fashion, ladies, and gentlemen. Throw in some light accessories on the wrist, thin earrings, and a hefty blow-dry, and you have what could be considered Tre’s best photoshoot from the past 15 years.

A Christmas Pageant Dress To Die For

New Jersey reunion looks can be very hit-and-miss. When Caroline called Teresa’s Season 5 look a “Christmas pageant dress,” history was made. But there’s no denying it was a beautiful gown that Teresa looked incredible in. In fact, looking back, she was the clear standout on the night when it came to the fashion game. It’s just a shame that all of the drama and shouting over each other overshadowed it. Still, it’s a reunion that people will revisit for years to come, so the dress will undoubtedly stand the test of time.

Mob Wives Vibes

You would be forgiven for thinking Teresa was headed to an audition for Mob Wives wearing this ensemble. This high-waisted black skirt with a matching blouse and black fur coat is something Karen Gravano would be proud of. The red heels are sure to make a statement no matter which room Teresa walks into. Even on that worn carpet. Completing the look are some stunning yet simple silver earrings. She looks regal but ready to kick butt if necessary.

Booked And Blessed

Teresa is a businesswoman, and she isn’t afraid to wear an outfit that shows that. Leaving the show Good Morning America here, Tre looks ready for a day at the office. Her blazer is emblazoned with eye-catching gold buttons, and the colorful gold and silver top she is wearing underneath leaves just enough for the imagination. Her black trousers and heels complete what is a unique look for the New Jersey native. Not something we’re used to from the star, but memorable all the same.

Shine Bright Like A Diamond

Teresa is more confident than ever, and her recent fashion choices represent that to the max. Her marriage to Luis Ruelas is clearly doing her wonders. This stunning top she wore on Watch What Happens Live looks like a broken glitterball, and the cutouts allow her to show off just a small glimpse of her incredible body. She kept it simple from the waist down with black pants and shoes with silver studs. It’s a look not everybody could pull off, but Teresa does so with style.

Vanderpump Rules Star Lala Kent Calls Out Raquel Leviss For Tom Schwartz Hookup; Says “I Think It Is Gross And Dirty And Disgusting”

Foreshadowing? Raquel Leviss’ romances are a case study of reality TV imitating life. Raquel chose to pursue Tom Schwartz on camera while hooking up with Tom Sandoval behind closed doors. But her sly mannerisms hold true with both Vanderpump Rules men.

So all the observations about Raquel’s behavior from Lala Kent, Ariana Madix, and Katie Maloney ring eerily true. Just not with the Tom we were expecting.

In the latest Pump Rules episode, Raquel was giddy and squealing about her kiss with Schwartz to all of Mexico. Meanwhile, his ex-wife Katie has been publicly humiliated. The other VPR ladies were rallying to Katie’s defense. Except for the bride, Scheana Shay.

Us Weekly reported on what was said during the explosive episode. As Ariana kindly put it, “I am starting to think that Raquel might actually have feelings for Schwartz because it feels like she’s living in some sort of rom-com. I think she’s the only one in it.”

Meanwhile, Lala was on the warpath. It turns out she gets triggered by Raquel. The former beauty pageant contestant reminds her of the girls that ex-fiancé Randall Emmett liked to romance. So, while the mother of one is defending her friend, it’s really about Lala.

“What I care about is how you affected my friend. I think it is gross and dirty and disgusting. I think you need to go find yourself elsewhere,” Lala said to Raquel during the episode.

She continued, “I think your self-worth comes from the approval of a man which is very sad to me. I think you have a mental breakdown coming. You are going to need some love and support. You appreciate people who bob their head and tell you it is all good,” Lala added.

But the “creepy uncle” kiss with Schwartz is old news. We are six weeks into the biggest upset in the show’s history with the revelation that Raquel was hooking up with Sandoval. And all the intuition the girls had about Raquel in the summer of 2022 really sounds different when watching the episodes now.

Raquel was riding high at the time these episodes were filmed. But now, she is at least giving the appearance of humility and regret.

In a statement of apology to Ariana on March 8, Raquel wrote, “I want to apologize for my actions and my choices foremost to Ariana, and to my friends and the fans so invested in our relationships. There is no excuse, I am not a victim and I must own my actions and I deeply regret hurting Ariana.”

Then, Raquel gave an update on her relationship with Sandoval. “Besides the indefensible circumstances surrounding our relationship, my feelings for Tom have always been sincere and born out of a loving friendship,” she wrote via Instagram. “I care for Tom and I don’t want to label anything or predict what lies ahead. Right now I need to heal.”

Meanwhile, Sandoval’s priority was damage control. Although his lack of contrition is sabotaging the whole exercise. He appeared on the Howie Mandel Does Stuff podcast last week. And gave his side of the story, including how the affair started.

“The feelings were something very, very strong,” Sandoval explained. “Those feelings that I had started to take over in a sense. Logic went out the window. Because I wasn’t experiencing that [with Ariana] — I hadn’t experienced that [before].”

He went on to claim he made a clean break with Ariana in the weeks before Scandoval broke the internet. “Like many relationships, it felt like it became more of like a best friends, family [thing] — sometimes roommates,” Sandoval said. “There were a lot of ways where the relationship was just lacking the intimacy, the connection. We would travel more by ourselves than we would together. I would go to weddings by myself.”

The Schwartz & Sandy’s co-owner also claimed to be taking a break from sexy times with Raquel. He stated, “We’re really good friends. We are not putting any label on it.”

Meanwhile, the prophetic 10th season of Vanderpump Rules continues to get more intriguing.

Kim Kardashian Will Attend The 2023 Met Gala Despite Initial Reports She Was Not Invited

Just when you thought Anna Wintour had come to her senses. It looks like the Met Gala 2023 will be another star-studded glamorous event. I mean, parties don’t come more coveted than the swanky New York City night to show yourself off. Famous celebs come dressed in their finest couture frocks in an attempt to knock the fashion community off its feet.

Sometimes the fashion community is knocked off its feet but it isn’t from an overabundance of class or stunning gowns. They might roll on the floor in sheer misery after witnessing a direct assault to both their eyeballs and any semblance of fashion expertise.

Former Keeping Up with the Kardashian star Kim Kardashian has been a frequent guest of the event in the past. She also has the honor of wearing one of the most hideous memorable outfits the Met Gala red carpet has ever seen.

Kim and her family don’t usually garner the type of attention Anna wants to put on display in association with her events. But The Kardashians‘ popularity and a marriage to a high-profile entertainer afforded Kim slots on the guest list.

In March, the rumor mill was buzzing that Kim and Kompany were not attending the ball this year. Oddly enough, that seems to have been resolved. Page Six has the details. In 2022 the entire Kardashian family “attended [the Met Gala] en masse.” This year insiders shared Anna was making cuts to the guest list and not one Kardashian received the golden ticket.

Looks like Kris Jenner made a call! Kimmy will now head to New York and do what she does best, stare into a camera. Kim probably won’t be the only member of her family to hit the rug. Chances are very good Kendall Jenner will report for duty. This actually makes sense as Kendall is a very sought-after model in the fashion biz.

RELATED: See Kim Kardashian’s MET Gala Gown and More Reality Star Pictures!

Last season Kourtney Kardashian attended with Travis Barker and they basically showed as much of their tongues as possible for the photo ops. Honestly, no one needed to see that but fortunately the couple has managed to control their desires lately. Khloé Kardashian also went for the first time last year. I guess her first will be her last because now she’s sitting at home still pining over Tristan Thompson.

After Kim’s initial 2013 debut, she’s been a regular at the Gala. In 2019 she went with a “wet” look created by legendary designer Thierry Mugler. In 2021 she showed up looking like, I don’t know, a Ninja in a face-covering bodysuit by Balenciaga. It really was the perfect piece to wear if you wanted to rob a boutique in the middle of the night but you’d already taken off your thieving make-up. But the stuff totally hit the fan when Kim messed with Marilyn Monroe’s iconic “Happy Birthday” dress last year.

The Met Gala will take place on May 1, 2023, and the theme is, “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty.” No word on whether or not PK Kemsley will recreate his historic Karl Lagerfeld impersonation and attend on behalf of Karl’s ghost. At this time, we don’t know what Kim will be wearing, but it will probably include a big screw-you in Anna’s general direction.

Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip Season 3 Episode 6: Poor Leah McSweeney Opts For ER Over Whitney Rose’s Healing Journey

It’s hard to believe that we’re already nearing the end of Season 3 of Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip. The Thailand trip was winding down and somehow, the group of Real Housewives vets made it feel like a month-long vacation rather than just a week. Some of the ladies, like poor Leah McSweeney, were more than ready to go home and never sign up for a Housewives’ show again. Pepsi, the ladies’ Thai concierge, was probably ready for his own vacation.

The latest episode took place after Gizelle Bryant verbally tore up the villa and made Pepsi cry because she couldn’t find “her” bottle of tequila. Thankfully, a trip to the temple and a “tantric” dinner helped the ladies turn a more peaceful leaf (sort of). Here are five of the main takeaways from the most recent RHUGT episode, “Tantric Tantrums.”

Pepsi Turns The Trip Around

The episode kicked off with an exhausted Pepsi who was about ready to kick the ladies out of his villa. Ahead of Marysol Patton’s cockie-making dinner, Pepsi sat the ladies down to tell them that their behavior is unacceptable. “I’m not happy,” Pepsi said, crying. He basically explained his whiplash trying to follow the ladies’ dynamics — they go from screaming at each other one minute to hugging the next.

Leah explained to Pepsi that when she fainted, all she wanted was to hold Pepsi’s hand. It’s a cute sentiment but I’m starting to think that Pepsi was a little more of a host than the head of the resort. He had a lot of emotions invested in the group. Gizelle and Porsha Williams ultimately thought Pepsi just couldn’t handle taking care of a group of bombastic Housewives. “We need a Coke or a Sprite,” Gizelle joked. Girl, you were the one taking shots with the man one second and making him fear for his job the next. No wonder he was such an emotional wreck.

Porsha Needs An Attitude Adjustment

Porsha clearly loved being the veteran star on the RHUGT trip, but by this episode, it started to be too much. It started with Pepsi. I know that viewers aren’t privy to every interaction that went down in the house. However, every time we saw Porsha ask Pepsi for a favor, like going on a KFC run, we never heard her say, “Thank you.” Which just rubs me the wrong way.

Then, Porsha and Leah got into a fight about the Instagram tagging gate. Porsha kept making comments about Leah just wanting an “I was there moment” by beefing with a star like Porsha. It was as much of a reach as it sounds. Porsha just kept telling Leah that despite her not doing anything wrong, she doesn’t like her. It was hard to watch because it actually felt like Leah wanted to have a dialogue with her, but Porsha just kept shutting her down with, “Bye Leah!” Porsha was so obsessed with Leah’s bad attitude affecting the group, but this kind of behavior has a pretty similar effect.

Heather Finally Stops Flip-Flopping

At the same dinner, Heather Gay finally put her big girl pants on and confronted Gizelle. Last week, Gizelle told Heather she didn’t trust her at all and accused her of stealing the tequila, which upset Heather. Heather opted for talking smack behind Gizelle’s back rather than confronting her, but she finally said her peace during the episode. She went as far as to tell Gizelle that she almost flipped the table in her face, so she didn’t leave any part out.

Heather got Gizelle to agree to a reset on their friendship since it started off on the wrong foot. Candiace Bassett praised Heather for finally having her “balls drop” by standing up to Gizelle. Whitney Rose was so happy to see some genuine behavior from her cousin that the two have a beautiful hugging moment. The two snowflakes apologize and proceed to jump into the pool while wearing their expensive microphone packs. All is right with the world.

No Seriously, Poor Leah

The following day the group prepared to visit a Buddhist temple on an excursion hosted by Leah. While all of the ladies got ready to go, Leah randomly started to get violently ill. Remember that it was just a day after she fainted in a store, and now she couldn’t walk a few steps without throwing up. She ultimately couldn’t go to the temple, which is just one bummer. The second was that aside from Pepsi and Candiace, the ladies didn’t seem to really care that Leah was sick. Poor Leah just got even more real.

Leah ended up going to the Thai emergency room to try to figure out what was wrong. Again, the ladies didn’t care. Marysol didn’t even remember that Leah wasn’t in attendance at the temple event. Leah can definitely be a stick in the mud, but it was hard to watch an entire group of women act so apathetic about one of their friends who was seriously sick. They should all be glad that the roles weren’t reversed

Another Whitney-Sponsored Healing Journey

The final event of the episode was a classic Whitney Rose healing journey. She hosted a tantric dinner that was so sexual it was awkward, which is kind of Whitney’s personality. The ladies also got a pole dancing class from some Thai dancers that provided some good entertainment. While Whitney was dropping into the splits from the pole in a dress, Gizelle was spinning around the pole and screaming like she was on a horrifying carousel ride.

The dinner provided Whitney with an opportunity to talk about Justin Rose losing his job because of her reality TV job. Whitney felt vindicated because she made more money that year in her career than Justin did previously. Good for her, but that doesn’t mean we all want to hear about how Justin is good at using his nose in bed. The entire dinner was a quintessential Whitney cringe fest and I was sort of living for it all.

Vanderpump Rules Fans Blast Howie Mandel For Seeming To Justify Tom Sandoval’s Behavior

Fans of Vanderpump Rules are blasting Howie Mandel for “justifying” Tom Sandoval’s cheating on his girlfriend of nearly a decade, Ariana Madix.

In an April 11 interview for the podcast Howie Mandel Does Stuff, the America’s Got Talent judge also caught heat for not doing his homework ahead of time. Apparently, Howie didn’t even know that Ariana and Rachel Raquel Leviss, Sandy’s secret paramour, had been BFFs before #Scandoval became a thing. Page Six spilled all the tea.

As Howie questioned the Schwartz and Sandy’s owner on the podcast, negative comments from Pump Rules fans poured in. “Why is howie justifying this?????” commented one fan. “Omg Howie. Stop,” another added. A VPR fan said, “Omg Howie, you’re embarrassing yourself.”

Many viewers were upset when Howie seemed to jump on the #Scandoval bandwagon in a blatant attempt to attract listeners to his podcast. Especially as he knew nothing about the facts.

“[Bowie] has no idea who [Sandoval] is or anything about the show, shut [up] and let your daughter do the interview,” an angry commenter wrote, suggesting that Howie’s daughter would be better at asking relevant questions. ​”You should not be doing this interview! You don’t know anything Howie!” added another irritated fan.

Possibly the worst fumble of the interview was Howie suggesting that fans should have “empathy and compassion” for Sandoval. That one landed about as well as when Tom Schwartz suggested that everyone should just give Sandy “a hug.”

“You need to be heard,” Howie suggested, “because the narrative is everyone else’s but yours.” The comedian backtracked, “I’m not condoning cheating on a partner…[but] I think some people have to have empathy and compassion. I don’t understand the hatred and the vitriol.”

Really, Howie? Sandy and Ariana were together for over 9 years. They owned a house together. He was sneaking around behind her back and having sex with her best friend. Howie has been married for nearly 40 years and seems to be a devoted husband. How does he think his wife’s friends would feel about him if he were in Sandoval’s shoes? Would he expect them to have “empathy and compassion?” Probably not.

​”Ok I’m done. f–k this piece of vile trash. Howie, lost all respect for you for kissing his vile a$$,” another angry listener reacted. Someone else wrote, “Howie you need to wake up to what’s really going on here Tom is a liar.”

Since news of the affair broke in early March, Sandoval and Raquel have both faced overwhelmingly negative fan reactions. Fans of the show are even taking out their anger on the newly opened Schwartz and Sandy’s bar co-owned by Sandoval and his BFF Schwartz. Ariana’s sympathizers even went to performances by Sandy’s band, Tom Sandoval and the Most Extras, to chant pro-Ariana/anti-Tom sentiments.

At the recently filmed Vanderpump Rules Season 10 reunion, Ariana had to be in close proximity to her ex and his new girlfriend (aka Raquoval). However, Ariana is a force of nature and can hold her own, as evidenced by the recent promo released by Bravo. In addition, nearly the entire cast had her back — except, of course, for Sandy’s Ride-or-Die Schwartz. Reportedly, Sandoval “went after everybody,” but received very little support from his castmates.

For her part, Raquel seemed unrepentant about the pain she’d caused her former bestie by sleeping with her live-in boyfriend. “The fact that she had not a single tear, no remorse,” a horrified and furious Scheana Shay said on her Scheananigans with Scheana Shay podcast. “She sat at the reunion and did not shed one tear.”

“I know,” added guest and co-star Lala Kent. “She actually smiled! It was scary. It was like watching the Joker.”

Sandoval told Howie that he and the former beauty queen are on “a break” at the moment, following their 7-month affair. I guess it’s just no fun anymore, now that they don’t have to sneak around behind Ariana’s back.
