Real Housewives Of New Jersey Star Teresa Giudice “Was Out of Control” At Season 13 Reunion Taping

She may not have flipped a table, but Teresa Giudice was on fire at the Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 13 reunion. 

According to Page Six, sources revealed that Teresa was “completely unhinged” and “out of control” while filming the reunion last week. Fans know that Teresa has feuded all season with her brother, Joe Gorga, and his wife, Melissa Gorga. The family has never seen eye-to-eye, and everything is coming to a head this season. 

Insiders near production said Teresa was “nastier than ever” and “cursing” a lot. They also revealed the RHONJ OG had a heated argument with Margaret Josephs, which resulted in Teresa calling her a “f—king whore.” 

Margaret and Teresa haven’t been on the best terms in recent years, either. Last season, Teresa emptied an entire table of food and drinks on Margaret after questioning her relationship with her then-boyfriend, Luis Ruelas. At the time, Dolores Catania teased the moment was so epic that it topped Teresa’s table flip from Season 1. 

“Teresa has an epic moment that takes the table flip and, I would consider that like Pre-K,” she said. Even though Teresa and Margaret have attempted to move forward, their issues run deep. From Teresa encouraging Danielle Staub to pull Marge’s hair to Margaret repeating terrible rumors, it’s no surprise their reunion beef was deep.

Per sources, Teresa was “very unhappy” and “mad at the world” during the taping. They also revealed that host and long-time executive producer Andy Cohen seemed “frustrated with her the entire time.” 

However, another insider claimed that’s not the case. Andy wasn’t “any more frustrated with her than with the entire situation as a whole,” they said. Apparently, Teresa was only activated when her “family dynamics” were brought up. In my head, I can picture Teresa screaming, “Don’t bring up my family,” during the early Jersey reunion days. 

Since filming, and maybe even BravoCon 2022, Teresa hasn’t spoken to the Gorgas. In September, the reality star said there was no possibility of them reconciling again. In February 2023, Dolores appeared on Watch What Happens Live and seemingly supported her decision. 

“I just think it’s time for them to really part ways. I do,” she said. “If there’s no peace in their life being together, then I think it’s time.”

As for the family at the reunion, a source said this was the first time they would be face-to-face. Melissa said she wanted to make things right with her sister-in-law in March. But as we know, reunions can stir up emotion—often causing further damage. 

For now, we’ll wait until the trailer drops to see what went down during the taping. Until then, keep watching RHONJ with us to see what ride this family will take us on next.

Vanderpump Rules’ Tom Schwartz Told Tom Sandoval He Thought Raquel Leviss Had A “Crush on Someone Else” Before Affair News Broke

Vanderpump Rules star Tom Schwartz wondered about the lack of chemistry between him and Rachel Raquel Leviss, following their kiss in Mexico during the run-up to Scheana Shay’s August 2022 wedding. But was the most awkward kiss ever just a ruse to divert attention away from Tom Sandoval and Raquel’s secret affair? US Weekly is spilling the tea.

Unless you’ve been living in a cave, you know by now that Sandoval cheated on his live-in girlfriend Ariana Madix. Ariana only found out about the months-long affair when she went through her boyfriend’s phone and saw a sexually explicit video from James Kennedy’s ex.

In a preview clip released on April 21, Schwartz told Sandoval, “I don’t know why I’m not more attracted to her.” Hmmmmm, could it be that you already knew that your buddy Tom was sleeping with her and it felt kind of icky?

“There’s no, like, sexual chemistry,” Schwartz continued. “I have this gut feeling that she kind of has a crush on someone else.” Whoever could that be???

“Yeah?” was Sandoval’s somewhat evasive response. At that point in time (late August/early September), we all know #Scandoval was well underway. Why was Sandy playing all innocent with this best bud?

By his own admittance, Schwartzy learned about the dalliance between Sandoval and Raquel in August, so probably before the wedding, which took place on August 23, 2022.

“The one-night stand was in August,” Schwartz told Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live on April 5. “Then it became, from my point of view . . . an emotional affair.“

While “still inappropriate,” he didn’t believe their affair was ongoing. “[But then] in January, he came to me and told me that he was in love with Raquel,” the Minnesota native continued.

Even though Sandoval claimed he broke up with Ariana two weeks before the affair made headlines, nobody really believes that. The Something About Her co-owner seemed to be blindsided by the affair. She dumped Tom’s cheating ass immediately after discovering he was carrying on with Raquel.

“We didn’t tell anybody [about the breakup], but she knew. She was trying to, like convince me not to be broken up, “Sandoval said on the Howie Mandel Does Stuff podcast.

Sandy also asserted that his girlfriend had asked about him fertilizing the eggs she’d harvested and frozen. Even though Ariana has repeatedly said she doesn’t want children, she recently decided to keep her options open. As they were leaving for a gig with his band, Tom said Ariana brought up the eggs. “She was like, ‘So, what do you think about doing a sperm check to fertilize my eggs?’”

“And [I was] like, ‘What? We’re broken up,’” Sandoval added. “‘We’ll talk about this later, I gotta go do my show.’” But that was the night Tom dropped his phone, someone handed it to Ariana, and the Secret of Scandoval was exposed.

During the filming of this season, Sandoval made it clear there was trouble in paradise with the show’s longest-running couple. “It is tough sometimes to talk to you . . . because you never agree with me,” he told Ariana. The TomTom owner felt she was quick to “take the other person’s point of view” in disagreements.

“I don’t want anybody to ever have my back unconditionally, but it sometimes makes me feel like you question my intelligence. You think I am an idiot in some ways or that I am annoying,” he said.

Things are only gonna get worse, as the rest of the season unfolds. In the teaser for next week’s episode, the Missouri native further explained. “It’s been a little frustrating. We will be in the car, and I will be talking and she f—king comes at me,” he told Schwartz. “It hurts my feelings because the person I love thinks I am dumb or annoying. It definitely pulls into question whether Ariana and I are right for each other.”

Looks like the Tom Sandoval and the Most Extras lead singer is building a case for their eventual breakup. Sparks will fly — just not between Schwartz and Raquel.

For her part, Ariana wasn’t moping at home feeling sorry for herself. Since kicking Sandoval to the curb, she landed a role in a Lifetime movie, hung out with a hot guy at Coachella, and is rumored to be twirling in the ballroom on the next season of Dancing with the Stars.

They say revenge is a dish best served cold, but in this case, I’d say Ariana’s vengeance is steaming hot.

Len Goodman dead at age 78 only five months after 'Dancing with the Stars' retirement

Len Goodman has died at age 78 shortly after announcing his Dancing with the Stars retirement.

Vanderpump Rules Star Scheana Shay Says Tom Sandoval And Raquel Leviss Used “Incestual” Friendship To “Get Away With” Affair

Blurred lines? It’s been pointed out that the Vanderpump Rules crew doesn’t hold themselves to the highest moral standard in general. Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss blew that threshold out of the water to be sure. But cheating with cast members seems the norm. Heck, cheating in general seems the norm.

VPR star Raquel clapped back at nemesis Lala Kent for sleeping with her then-boyfriend James Kennedy. Sandoval kissed ex-girlfriend Ariana Madix while he was still with Kristen Doute. Jax Taylor. That name speaks for itself.

So it’s no surprise that Scheana Shay acknowledged this point when discussing Scandoval during her Scheananigans podcast last week. Page Six reported that the “Good as Gold” singer “never” thought Sandoval and Raquel’s interactions were “odd.” Neither did Ariana for that matter.

“In this friend group that is obviously incestual at times, this friend group has so much love, and when we’re drinking or whatever, everyone is just extra lovey-dovey and cuddly,” Scheana said.

Scheana rationalized that the group’s dynamic allowed Raquel and Sandoval to fly under the radar. It’s like they didn’t even have to try and hide their affection for one another. “That’s why they were able to get away with this for so long in front of our faces,” she explained.

One clear example occurred in a recent episode. Eagle-eyed VPR fans spotted Sandoval smacking Raquel’s bottom just as Ariana turned away from them. The trio was seated together at a party during Scheana’s wedding weekend in August 2022. According to Scheana, Sandoval “slapped Raquel’s ass behind [her] and Ariana’s back.”

Scheana continued, “Oh my God, it’s so cringe, and how did we not see it? It was in front of our face. It was behind our back. It was right there.” During the same episode, Ariana joked about being in a “throuple” with her then-boyfriend and Raquel. Sadly, that comment was true for seven-plus months, though she was unaware of it at the time.

Ariana, Sandoval, and Raquel once again sat in a trio to film the Season 10 reunion. Filming took a volatile turn when two cast mates got into a brawl. Security had to intervene.

But Ariana has moved on from the drama. The Something About Her co-founder was recently spotted making out with personal trainer Daniel Wai.

Meanwhile, her former partner gave a catastrophic interview with Howie Mandel. Bravo executives were unhappy. And it did nothing to soften public opinion on Sandoval after he claimed Ariana turned a “blind eye” to his cheating.

Raquel revealed that the illicit couple is “taking a break.” Both parties have fled LA. Sandoval went on a wellness retreat while Raquel is seeking “mental health and trauma therapy.”

Len Goodman, Former Dancing With The Stars Head Judge, Passes Away At 78

It is a sad day for Dancing with the Stars fans. Beloved head judge Len Goodman has passed away at the age of 78. People reported that Len died on April 22, 2023. He was at a hospice in Kent, England, with his family by his side. The long-time DWTS judge had bone cancer.

Len’s manager, Jackie Gill, issued a statement to BBC News confirming Len’s passing. “It is with great sadness to announce that Len Goodman has passed away peacefully, aged 78. A much-loved husband, father and grandfather who will be sorely missed by family, friends and all who knew him,” the statement read.

Len was a former professional dancer. From 2004 until 2016, he served as the head judge on the British dance competition, Strictly Come Dancing. Additionally, Len went on the judge the American version of the show, DWTS, from 2005 until 2022. Obviously, competitors longed to hear, “From Len-the 10.” It was basically the Holy Grail for the dancers.

BBC Director-General Tim Davie also shared a statement on Twitter. “Len Goodman was a wonderful, warm entertainer who was adored by millions. He appealed to all ages and felt like a member of everyone’s family.” Tim continued, “Len was at the very heart of Strictly’s success. He will be hugely missed by the public and his many friends and family.”

Piers Morgan took to Twitter to post a tribute to Len. He posted a photo of the duo dancing together. Piers wrote, “More very sad news from the world of entertainment…RIP Len Goodman, 78 – welder, dancer, judge, and devoted cricket & West Ham fan. Always had a laugh with Len, and swapped a few strong opinions. A quintessential Londoner and a top bloke,” Piers added.

Surprisingly, the judge announced his retirement from DWTS in November 2022. “Whilst we all are getting excited and looking forward so much to the finale next week, it would also be with a touch of sadness and this will be my last season judging on Dancing with the Stars,” Len said. He added that serving as a judge on the series was “a huge pleasure.” Len wanted to spend more time with his family. His fellow judges Bruno Tonioli, Carrie Ann Inaba, and Derek Hough tearfully embraced Len.

Len wielded his judges’ paddle for the first 20 seasons of DWTS. He sat out for Season 21. Len was back for Seasons 22-28. He returned for Season 30 after missing Season 29.

During the Season 31 finale, Charli D’Amelio and Mark Ballas won the mirrorball. However, it marked Len’s final appearance on DWTS. He reflected on his favorite memories from the show.

“All good things have to come to an end,” Len stated. “For me, it was such a privilege being a part of Dancing with the Stars.” Afterward, host Alfonso Ribeiro presented Len with his very own mirrorball trophy. Len was thrilled!

DWTS fans will remember Len’s humor and his hatred of hip-hop. I hope that he is tripping the light fantastic with all the dancing greats.

We are sending our heartfelt condolences to Len’s family and friends during this difficult time.

Tamra Judge’s Best Looks Over The Years

Real Housewives of Orange County star Tamra Judge isn’t one to hold back. She always says what’s on her mind, whether people like it or not. She’s also not one to hold back when it comes to her choices of fashion. Whether she’s headed out to an event, or simply going for a stroll, Tamra always manages to look good. Here we take a look back at some of her best looks over the years.

Hollywood Starlet

After her first season of RHOC hijinks, Tamra would make a return in Season 4. Her promotional shoot saw her wearing a Barbie pink gown, combined with some shiny silver heels for the ultimate fashion statement. She wears her signature blonde hair down in a tussled style, and her beaming smile shows just how excited she is to be getting back in front of the camera. Little did she know that this was just the beginning of her career in reality television, as she began to carve out an empire.

Lady In Red

This stunning red dress clings to every inch of Tamra’s body in all of the right places. The gown appears as if it was made solely for her, and the little lapels at the neck bring a unique stylistic approach that other Real Housewives stars would be envious of. The golden bracelets look heavy, showcasing Tamra’s wealth, and that whopper of a ring on her left hand also adds to that. Fortunately, the entire thing comes together with elegance, rather than crassness.

The Look Of Love

Tamra actually had numerous wedding dresses for her big day. It is the one that she exchanged vows in, however, that turned the most heads. It is a classic bridal design by Mark Zunino, and she looks incredible wearing it. The dress is eye-catching from every angle but doesn’t overwhelm the matching jewelry. The blush and ivory colors complement one another with perfection. It is clear a lot of love went into the hand-beaded dress. It’s dramatic, but dignified at the same time.

Keeping It Classy

This black dress worn by Tamra on Watch What Happens Live with host Andy Cohen is quite an understated look for the Real Housewives star. She wears a black dress, with black accessories including bracelets and earrings, and even opts for black heels. There’s a leopard print design subtly woven into the heels however, showing that this is a Real Housewife who isn’t afraid to be daring with her looks, even if it is in just a small way this time around.

Reunion Rouge

THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ORANGE COUNTY — “Reunion” — Pictured: (l-r) Tamra Judge, Shannon Beador — (Photo by: Nicole Weingart/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank/NBCUniversal via Getty Images)

The Real Housewives of Orange County reunions can be a draining experience for everybody involved. It would probably be a smart choice to go in a jumper and leggings for comfort, as the days can go on for many hours and take a real toll on your emotions. These are Real Housewives; however, and they don’t let a single opportunity to turn out a look pass them by. Tamra has always been one to watch for reunion garments, but it is this red sleeveless dress that takes the cake. She looks absolutely incredible.

Glitz And Glamour

Making a return for Season 13 of Orange County, Tamra went for a shimmering mini dress to capture the attention of audiences in her promotional cast shoot. The bronze color showcases that she is making a comeback with her battle armor on and ready for any verbal punch-ups that may come her way. Those golden heels complete the warrior look. She is warning her castmates not to mess with her. As fans know, it’s probably for good reason. She’s not one to mince her words.

Serving Suit

Is it a suit, a blazer, a dress, or something else entirely? Tamra is no stranger to making fashion choices that have people asking questions, but usually for all the right reasons! This Zara metallic blazer dress is cute and classy. She looks ready to take on all the shady calls that come through on WWHL, and then pop out to a business meeting if need be. It’s an outfit that allows Tamra to show off her toned physique. As the years go by she continues to prove that she constantly has her finger on the pulse of fashion.

Classy Little Number

THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ORANGE COUNTY — Season:14 — Pictured: Tamra Judge — (Photo by: Tommy Garcia/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images)

When making her return for Season 14 of RHOC, Tamra knew that she was going to have to pull out all of the stops to stand out. Fortunately, she has had plenty of time to perfect her fashion. She made sure that when she steps into a room, all eyes are on her. She stole the show at the promotional cast shoot for the season in this incredible pantsuit. Tamra looks as if she has been pulled straight off of the set of a Hollywood movie. Drop dead gorgeous.

Powerful In Pink

WATCH WHAT HAPPENS LIVE WITH ANDY COHEN — Episode 16132 — Pictured: Tamra Judge — (Photo by: Charles Sykes/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank/NBCUniversal via Getty Images)

If looking powerful was the goal for Tamra here, then she has reached that and even surpassed it. The bold pink is a color that looks great on her and the legs that flow down to the floor give off an illusion of a tall woman. No easy feat for someone who comes in at just over five feet, two inches! She is modelesque, floating down the blue carpet and showing just the tip of her matching pink shoes. An outfit that looks simple, but one that probably took a good few hours to perfect and execute.

Las Vegas Vibes

At the end of 2022, Tamra celebrated the grand opening of Villa Azur Las Vegas. No stranger to a red carpet at this point in her career, she made sure that when she stepped in front of the paparazzi and their flashing camera bulbs, she looked sensational. She wears a black lacy corset underneath a smooth velvet blazer and completes the look with flowing black pants with a golden shimmer. Anybody would think the event is all about her because she certainly turned all heads in her direction.

5 Memorable Real Housewives Who Got Demoted

The Real Housewives franchise has been alive and well since 2006 when Real Housewives of Orange County opened the gates. Back then we were innocent babes and didn’t know what the show was going to turn into. We definitely weren’t focused on OGs or who could potentially nab an orange in the next season.

But we were introduced to some legends and grew to love them. Maybe love is too strong a word for some of the ladies. Over the years other cities were brought into the mix and we eventually reached a point where the casts began changing.

Personalities developed into icons or were put on the chopping block to see how they performed in the next season. Some Real Housewives made the cut and some were told to pack their claws and go home. A few survivors are out there, bobbing in the water and not completely buried at sea. These are the few we like to call… The Demoted.

The Demoted are ladies who were part of a main cast but didn’t do very well with the fans. Or maybe there was an internal conflict with an OG who had some pull with Andy Cohen. The Demoted once appeared in the opening credits, but now find themselves in the dreaded “friend of” category.

Let’s look at a few Real Housewives who started out strong but weren’t strong enough to maintain a seat in a reunion chair.

Real Housewives Of Potomac / Charisse Jackson-Jordan

Charisse Jackson-Jordan started off on Real Housewives of Potomac’s main cast. Unfortunately for Charisse, filming began during a very turbulent time in her life. Cha-Cha was known for her philanthropy work and for hosting swanky charity parties. She also had a love of the finer things in life. But life had plans for Charisse and they didn’t include a longtime gig on RHOP. It also didn’t include a longtime marriage to husband Eddie Jordan.

Charisse’s former husband was a basketball star turned college coach and we didn’t see much of Eddie on the show. They didn’t live together and their bond suffered as a result. Her relationship was crumbling and Cha-Cha was forced to face personal and vulnerable issues with a camera following her around.

In 2017, Charisse told Bravo’s The Daily Dish, Eddie basically threatened to divorce her if she continued appearing on the show. “Like, I literally gave up my career twice because of his career,” she said. “We moved to California, then New Jersey, Maryland, Philly, then back to Maryland, and now I say a few words, and you’re going to say to me divorce if I do this? So it kind of put me in a different space of, ‘Now I really want to do this,’” she said. Charisse maintained her role for two seasons but was demoted to a friend prior to Season 3.

Real Housewives Of New York / Luann de Lesseps

The former Countess Luann de Lesseps is a Real Housewives of New York icon. In fact, Luann is a Bravo icon. She has never been one to run from a storyline unless it involved a pirate. Luann gave her soul to RHONY and fans have been fortunate to be on the receiving end of her multiple messes and successes.

But Season 6 of RHONY kind of caught up with Lu. She was demoted by Bravo to a friend, but viewers couldn’t make any sense of the drop in status. It was rumored Luann was in the middle of a contract dispute and things were not resolved before production began.

The funny thing is, Luann gave so much to that season, Bravo quickly saw the error of its ways and brought Lu back full-time ahead of Season 7. Since that time, Luann remained a full cast member until the show was cut from the roster in 2023. A rebooted version of RHONY will premier later this year. But don’t worry, you’ll see Luann again very soon.

Real Housewives Of Atlanta / Shereé Whitfield

Shereé Whitfield from Real Housewives of Atlanta is another product of the demoted success stories. This is another legend who was in the main cast of RHOA in its inaugural season. Oh, what a time we had!

Shereé left the show after Season 4 and the Bone Collector’s presence was missed. Fans learned she was to make a glorious comeback in Season 8. It was assumed she would fill the hole left behind with NeNe Leakes’ departure, but it wasn’t Shereé who took the peach. Production began and Shereé was filming, but she hadn’t yet received the stipulations to her contract. Unbeknownst to her, Shereé was cast in the friend role. At first, she felt betrayed but began to realize the luxury of spilling tea with no responsibility to clean up.

Shereé did such a wonderful job as a friend, Bravo bumped her back up to where she belonged for Seasons 9 and 10. After taking another break, Shereé has been in the main cast since Season 14.

Real Housewives Of New Jersey / Jackie Goldschneider

Real Housewives of New Jersey star Jackie Goldschneider has a unique situation. First, she holds value as one of the few members of the cast who don’t recoil in fear when Teresa Giudice enters the room. Second, Jackie was demoted, but you wouldn’t really know it. Jackie entered the lion’s den in Season 9 back in 2018 but was knocked down last year before Season 12.

In May 2022, Dolores Catania’s ex-husband Frank Catania was on a podcast and revealed Jackie’s new station in life. “I didn’t know for sure, [but] I went out to dinner the other night with Jackie and Evan [Goldschneider] and, yes, I heard. Yes, alright, she is a ‘friend of,” he said.

Jackie’s previous storyline concentrated on receiving proper medical care for her eating disorder. It’s believed she accepted the reduced role in an effort to focus on a change in priorities. In June 2022, she told Page Six, “I don’t know that my role is diminished, but if it is, you have to believe that the universe put you in that position to raise awareness about something, and then put you on a path to continue raising awareness.”

Real Housewives Of Orange County / Vicki Gunvalson

This was the demotion heard around the world. In fact, there are some solar systems in our Universe that have been pre-warned about the massive cries of anguish released from Earth in 2019. The wails of Victoria Gunvalson’s agony will reach uncharted territories in about 200 years. Vicki was the OG of Real Housewives of Orange County. One of the few remaining original cast members still whooping it up in RHOC’s 13th season.

Vicki was a survivor. She survived Slade Smiley. She survived Kelly Dodd. But in Season 10, she barely survived Brooks Ayers. The lies told by Brooks and co-signed by Vicki put a blight on her fan base that was hard to shake. After she repeatedly chose Brooks over her friends’ and family’s sage advice to stay clear, Vicki also participated in his cancer scheme.

Brooks went to great lengths to lie about having a disease that impacts so many people. Viewers were horrified when his deceit was discovered and watched as Vicki stood by her man. She never fully recovered from this unfortunate storyline that grew way out of her control. And the RHOC audience was loud about it.

She didn’t do a lot to redeem herself in the interim and by Season 14, rumors were floating around. Vicki wasn’t included in the official cast photos. When asked if she had been fired, she would use the popular “contract negotiations” line. But there was previous speculation Vicki was rude to the crew and sat so high on her horse no one could deal with the antics.

In 2019, Andy Cohen told Us Weekly, “If they become a turn-off to viewers, for whatever reason — they appear too fake, they’re not interesting, they’re not entertaining — [then they’re no longer a fit].” Vicki was no longer a fit and she has been included in a guest or friend capacity into the season that just wrapped. But it’s hard to say if she’ll ever get that elusive orange again.

Craziest Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip Moments

Housewives in Thailand, baby! Even though the Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip Season 3 has come to a close, that doesn’t mean we can’t relive some of the craziest moments from their extravagant (and messy) vacation.

Leah Versus The OGs

In episode 3, things finally took a turn for Real Housewives of New York alum Leah McSweeney. After one too many complaints about her level of boredom, some of the OG Housewives decided to turn up the heat.

While yachting in the beautiful Thailand water, Leah became public enemy number one. First, her argument with Gizelle Bryant and Porsha Williams dominated the first half of the ride. And for the Real Housewives of Atlanta and Real Housewives of Potomac fans, you know, arguing with these two isn’t the easiest.

Porsha came for Leah, and so did Gizelle. Also, Alexia Nepola and Marysol Patton would hop in the conversation, too, ultimately leading Leah to run from the table. When she returned, the ladies tried to find a middle ground, but the damage was irreparable. From there on out, Leah’s journey in Thailand would be one for the books—and not in a good way.

Bad Weather, Spin The Truth, Destroy

The relationship between Real Housewives of Salt Lake City stars Heather Gay and Whitney Rose will likely never be the same again. Even though both ladies entered the trip with their sights set on reconciliation, it took them some time to get to a good place.

As we know, the Salt Lake Cousins (as Porsha likes to call them) fell out during their third season of RHOSLC. However, they were hopeful they could get to the bottom of what really went down in Park City. But when Whitney started planting seeds to the other ladies that Heather is, in fact, a phony—things got ugly.

Eventually, we wasted more precious time talking about Heather’s black eye that she couldn’t seem to remember how she got. But that wasn’t the only thing Whitney kept her on her toes about. The real blowup occurred when Heather learned Whitney told the group she hadn’t actually left the Mormon church.

Like many fans, Whitney wanted to know why Heather was writing a book about being an ex-Mormon if her name was still on the roll. But instead of seeing this as a chance to clarify her intentions, she turned it into a moment. Needless to say, fans still don’t have an answer about Heather’s mysterious black eye. And although the pair ended the trip on a relatively good note, it’s only a matter of time before their feud carries into RHOSLC Season 4.

Court Is In Session With Gizelle Bryant

Listen, I’m glad we can talk about Gizelle’s missing bottle. Although most of the viewers hated this storyline, I, for one, was here for it. I want to see fun shade, a drama that’s not too serious, and of course, an over-dramatic Housewife. Gizelle checks all the boxes, yet, viewers still fail to give her the flowers she deserves.

Before her blowup with Leah, Gizelle told the ladies on the boat that her Clase Azul bottle was the only one available in Thailand. Therefore, this particular bottle of tequila was to follow her practically everywhere. When she found it missing later in the trip, she questioned every cast member, including Pepsi.

Heather was a suspect at some point, Marysol and Alexia were suspects, and Candiace Dillard Bassett was always suspect #1. After raising hell at lunch in Thailand’s streets, Gizelle demanded that production search everyone’s rooms high and low for her missing bottle.

After making little progress in her search, during their last outing in Phuket, Gizelle held a court session to get to the bottom of her case. Candiace was the only cast member on trial, and the other ladies were on the jury. Gizelle had a teacher’s pointing rod, a blown-up picture of Clase Azul, and presented her facts to those willing to listen.

Ultimately, Gizelle never found out what happened to her bottle. Jury members Porsha and Alexia said they couldn’t clear Candiace’s name but couldn’t prove her guilty, either. Candiace noted that Gizelle accusing her of theft was the final straw in their friendship. And just like that, their feud for Real Housewives of Potomac Season 8 was born.

Marysol Snaps On Alexia

After spending nine days together, Marysol and Alexia finally reached their breaking points. In the first half of the final episode, Alexia voiced her frustrations about Marysol not having her back. Certainly, this is a reach. Marysol, even as a friend of the Real Housewives of Miami, has never wavered from Alexia’s side. Although she’s not the fighter that Alexia is, that doesn’t make her any less of a friend.

Even then, Marysol bit her tongue—until their last gathering, that is. After Alexia told her best friend she was drinking too much (which could have been true), it sent Marysol over the edge. And if that wasn’t enough, Alexia seemingly dismissed Marysol’s feelings over her missing coffee cans—which reminded her of her mother—that she planned to give to the ladies as a gift.

In the end, when the ladies said their goodbyes during a traditional Thai ceremony, Alexia and Marysol hugged it out. They showed everyone how real-life besties are supposed to do it.

Exploring the Truth About What Was So Horrifying in Amityville

In 1975, a 4,000-square-foot house with a finished basement in a peaceful New York suburb, on a quarter-acre lot boasting a heated pool and its own boat dock, went on the market for $100,000.  A...
