Margaret Josephs Venmos Her Accountant to Settle $20,000 Lawsuit

With so many lawsuits among the Real Housewives, it’s almost impossible to keep track of who’s paying legal fees for what. This time, it’s Margaret Josephs making payments, but outside of court.

It’s not necessarily hard to imagine the Real Housewives of New Jersey star in such a position. On the one hand, she’s one of the most loyal Housewives out there. But on the other hand, she’s quite the pot stirrer. She’s always at someone’s throat, like costar Jennifer Aydin.

But while Margaret would think she’s never done anything mean to another person, well, the lawsuit might allege otherwise. But in truth, it seems she’s not in the wrong at all. See the details below.

Is Margaret guilty? Or just kind?

The U.S. Sun first reported on the situation. The lawsuit was brought forth by Stephen B. Wetter, a public accountant. He claimed that Margaret and her husband, Joe Benigno, had not paid him for his work on their taxes. Wetter sent a letter from a law firm, assuring a forthcoming lawsuit if the funds weren’t paid.

The only problem was, the letter was entirely fake. Marge’s exhibit read, “There is no such firm, no attorney name, letterhead, address, email,” and the letter was, “received to extort funds” from Marge and Joe.

From the lawsuit’s conception, it was made clear by reps from Bravo and Margaret that the case was bogus. Even still, Margaret chose to pay Wetter just $2,000 via Venmo. An insider said, “Margaret is very pleased the case was dismissed after sending the plaintiff some money to move on peacefully. They’re old family friends and she felt bad for him. There are no hard feelings. It would’ve cost her more money to pay an attorney.”

While Wetter had demanded $15,000 for services performed and $5,000 for legal fees, he should feel very content with $2,000, seeing as his claims didn’t seem to hold any water.

Part 2 of the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” Season 13 reunion airs Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.

Bombshell Moments from Part II of the Vanderpump Rules Reunion (Peacock Extended Version)

Part II of the explosive Vanderpump Rules reunion aired on Wednesday, May 31 on Bravo and an extended version of the episode was released on Peacock on June 1. Viewers were treated to even more jaw-dropping drama. In case you missed it, here are a few of the biggest bombshells from the episode.

Why Is Tom Sandoval Bringing Lala’s IUD Into This?

— Queens of Bravo (@queensofbravo) June 1, 2023

One moment from the Vanderpump Rules reunion part II that caught fans’ attention was when Tom Sandoval said Lala Kent chose to remove her IUD after she discovered their former co-star Stassi Schroeder was pregnant. “You pulled your IUD the day you found out Stassi was pregnant,” Sandoval said during a heated argument between him and Lala. Fans reacted to Sandoval’s claim on Twitter, calling the statement “gross” and “none of his business.”

After the Vanderpump Rules reunion aired, Lala took to her Instagram Story to share her thoughts on Sandoval’s comment. “Tonight is the second time I have seen Sandoval diminish the conception of my beautiful, magical daughter. I’m disgusted,” she said. “It makes me sit here and question who the f*** raised you.” Lala then clarified that she missed Sandoval’s comment while filming the reunion. “I’m so glad that I did not hear that at the reunion,” she said on Instagram. “These mama bear paws would’ve mauled the f*** out of him.”

During the cast’s lunch breakup at the Vanderpump Rules reunion, Sandoval paid a visit to Raquel Leviss in her trailer. After the two chatted for a bit, Sandoval decided he wanted to talk to Raquel off-camera. “Can we have like a for real break where we’re not, like, being filmed?” Sandoval asked a producer named Patrick. After Patrick told Sandoval he couldn’t speak to Raquel off-camera, the Bravo star became more agitated. “I’m [going to] call a f***ing Lyft to get the f*** out of here,” Sandoval said before shouting at Patrick, “I need a break from filming.”

James Kennedy Atlantic City Drama

Tom Sandoval spent the majority of the Vanderpump Rules reunion in the hot seat, so when the opportunity arose to call out another cast member on their behavior, he took it head-on. During a segment where Lisa Vanderpump was discussing James Kennedy’s drinking, Sandoval interjected. The cover band star said James recently lost him and Schwartz a job in Atlantic City because of his “belligerent” behavior. Sandoval explained that during a gig in Atlantic City, James got too drunk and ended up smacking a waitress on the a**. “You lost us that job,” Sandoval said. “You were s*** faced.”

James did not confirm nor deny the claim during the reunion.

Tom Said He & Ariana Hid Their Issues (Peacock Extended Version)

In the Peacock extended version of the Vanderpump Rules reunion, Sandoval revealed he and Ariana Madix hid their relationship issues from the cameras. “We [would] literally be arguing and then as soon as the cameras turned on, it would be like, ‘Hey, honey, I’m home,'” he admitted. The reality star told Andy that Ariana was “strict” about what parts of their relationship she allowed on camera. Ariana denied Sandoval’s claims, noting she has been quite open about her life, discussing everything from her intimacy issues to her mental health.

Scheana Shay Breaks Down Over Her Friendship With Raquel

One of the most heartbreaking moments of the Vanderpump Rules reunion was when Scheana Shay opened up about her fractured relationship with Raquel. Prior to Scandoval, the two were pretty much inseparable on the show. The “Good as Gold” singer defended Raquel on several occasions this season, including having her back after she made out with Schwartz in Mexico, and defending her friend after Lala made a comment about Raquel’s pool party attire. But the friendship came to a halt after Scheana discovered her friend was sleeping with her best friend’s boyfriend.

In the reunion episode, Scheana called the scandal “heartbreaking,” with tears in her eyes. “I did nothing but take of her,” she said, referring to Raquel. “I gave her a home to live in when she didn’t have anywhere to go, I was the sister to her that she didn’t have growing up, I did everything for her. And for her to do this to me, it has taken such a toll on me.”

Kyle Richards Allegedly Wants a Truce in Family Feud With Kathy Hilton

It’s that time of year again! The summer sun is high in the sky and Kyle Richards is ready to make amends with one of her siblings. We have sister Kathy Hilton on standby, ready to receive apologies and compliments on her tequila brand.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills had a toxic Season 12. A cast trip to Aspen ultimately leveled Kathy’s relationship with Kyle. The two haven’t really spoken as a result of Kyle supporting Lisa Rinna in the argument. Kathy was supposed to film Season 13 but her face is on the milk carton and Kim Richards was called in. Now it seems Kyle is ready to play nice with Kathy. Again. Radar has the details.

Kyle ready to reconcile?

Either RHOBH filming has gotten super boring and Kyle has been instructed to rectify her situation with Kathy so she’ll come back, or Kyle is truly ready to bury the hatchet.

Insiders have shared Kyle wants a meeting with Kathy in an effort to smooth things over. Load your potatoes up with caviar and get ready, but don’t expect any filming. The source said Kyle has missed having Kathy in her life and has been attempting to make nice.

But Kathy might not give in so easily after Kyle didn’t have her back in the Rinna showdown. Of course, it was really no surprise. Kyle also didn’t have Kim’s back during her own Rinna showdown. Whatever power Rinna had over Kyle was surely released upon her exit.

The sisters did see each other recently at a family baby shower, but they were on their best behavior. An insider added Kyle has been “begging” Kathy to see her so they can “hash things out.” Between the three siblings, constant peace is rare. Kathy has previously admitted watching Kim and Kyle on the first season of RHOBH was tough due to their conflict.

It would be wonderful for these ladies to get along in a genuine manner, but I’m not sure that is something mortal eyes will ever see. Now that Kyle’s main supporter has been put to pasture, it would be beneficial to get those familial allies back while Kyle defends both her marriage and her waistline in Season 12.

Teresa Giudice Making ‘Timely’ Payments on Tax Debts Amid New $17K Lien

Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice doesn’t like taxes. It would be safe to say taxes don’t like her either. Fans know her relationship with finances and the government is so rocky, she once received a vacation courtesy of the Feds.

Tre’s debt with Juicy Joe Giudice remains active and with a pending payoff. She has been contributing to it regularly, but she also got married with $10k of hair glued to her head. And now, probably thanks to Melissa Gorga, Tre has been slapped with a lovely new lien. Page Six has the details.

Tre has to pay

Teresa still owes a boatload of money to the government, but don’t worry, she’s well aware of it. So good thing she married a guy with sketchy businesses and no prenup. I’ll take She Learned Absolutely Nothing From Prison for $1000, Alex.

According to Tre’s attorney, she knows about the money she owes and spends anyway is paying it off. He said, “Ms. Giudice has been aware of her tax obligations for years and makes significant timely monthly payments towards her outstanding tax liabilities and will continue to do so until those liabilities do not exist.”

She might want to lay off on the luxury vacations. New court docs state Teresa was notified in early May there is a new tax lien totaling more than $17k. This would be for the tax years of 2020 and 2021.

Sources who are definitely not the Gorgas advised that the lien has been settled but Teresa has open debt from 2014 and 2015 in the amount of $500k. These are both active and the process of repayment is ongoing.

I’m not sure having an extravagant wedding whilst entertaining a remaining balance from the IRS since 2014 was a good idea, but good ideas often seem to elude Teresa. She spent some time in the pokey and upon her release from prison in 2015, she had a tax debt of $261,000.

A payment schedule was made and Tre’s lawyer advised at the time, “Several payments have already been made and every penny owed will be paid pursuant to the agreement.” Unless of course automobiles, clothing, and a new husband delay paying in full.

Clearly some early dirty work by Tre’s evil sister-in-law, because we all know someone has to take the blame.

Real Housewives of Dubai Star Chanel Ayan Going Viral on TikTok

In all honesty, Real Housewives of Dubai is a bit of a mixed bag. From the moment it was announced, it faced criticism. That’s usually par for the course for any new Bravo show, but the criticisms toward RHODubai felt fair, with even Andy Cohen having to say he understood the cause for the critiques.

Once the show aired, many accused it of being uninteresting. Several viewers felt the housewives were trying to clutch onto thin storylines with painful death grips. Even so, in terms of viewership, the first season only did slightly worse than the last season of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.

Regardless, nobody should question Bravo’s ability to catapult someone into the zeitgeist. Such is the case for Chanel Ayan. But much like the show, Chanel is a mixed bag. On the one hand, Andy said he’s never seen anyone like her. On the other hand, Chanel’s been compared to a five-year-old.

Chanel Ayan is TikTok’s latest craze

@nastyaswan ♬ original sound – anastasia

But love her or hate her, it’s undeniable that she’s made a name for herself. That name’s only gotten bigger as Chanel is now the source of a viral TikTok Sound. The Sound was originally mixed in a TikTok by influencer Anastasia Lebedeva. It features a quote from Chanel’s socials where she said, “Never ever, ever, ever, be basic for nobody honey … let them burn!”

The original video received over 300,000 likes, and the Sound has since been mixed in over 26,000 TikToks. The Sound was almost certainly boosted when Sofia Richie took a stab at it. Other popular creators have done their takes on the Sound as well, including Alix Earle, Camila Saracho, and Julia Zeito.

With Chanel’s unique way of speaking, influencer-type personality, and brand of messaging, it’s not entirely shocking one of her soundbites went viral. For all its supposed flaws, audiences can now point to at least one impact RHODubai has had on the cultural discourse.

Real Housewives of Dubai is expected to return before the end of 2023.

RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Season 8, Episode 5 Recap: Snatch Game of Love

Did we just get our first unanimous vote of the season? It took four eliminations, but the remaining cast of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars were all in agreement about sending Darienne Lake packing. It’s sad, because she is one heck of a talented queen. When you’re up against some of the best in the business, however, you cannot afford to make a single mistake.

One contestant who is avoiding mistakes altogether is Jimbo. While she can’t win a lip sync to save her life, she’s got the runways and challenges down. It’s something that the others feel is painting a bit of a target on her back. Which leads into the drama a little later on in the episode…

Everybody say love!

It’s Snatch Game week! More specifically, Snatch Game of Love. Heidi N Closet is taking on Blackbeard the Pirate, for some reason. Meanwhile, Kandy Muse is Renee Graziano, of Mob Wives fame. Going straight for RuPaul’s heart though? That would be Alexis Michelle, opting to take on Bea Arthur. Alexis is a former Snatch Game winner, and she knows she has to go above and beyond to impress. Jimbo feels the same, and will be playing Shirley Temple. A hard one to make funny, you may think. Jaymes Mansfield rounds out the memorable character choices, bringing Jennifer Coolidge to Snatch Game, shockingly, for the first time ever.

The first group is a bit of a bust. Heidi does her best, but it is Jaymes who is carrying the heavy load. Kahanna Montrese doesn’t do a great job as her drag mother, and Drag Race icon, Coco Montrese. Jessica Wild also leaves a lot to be desired as Iris Chacón, but that charisma means we’re smiling throughout anyway.

When it comes to the second group, there are laughs from every angle. Alexis and Jimbo go head to head as frontrunners, but it is the latter who brings it home with some excellent physical comedy. Don’t just use your words, future Drag Racers. Use everything at your disposal!

A premature exit for one queen

Back in the Werkroom the next day, the tea that has been threatening to boil over is finally spilled. Heidi told Jimbo off camera that Kandy is gunning for her. They had a conversation, in which Alexis was involved, when this was apparently said. Kandy confronts Heidi about it, just as Heidi is making peace with Kahanna for making her feel some sort of way during the Snatch Game of Love. The timing couldn’t have been worse.

Heidi asks Alexis to back her up. At first, Alexis says that this did indeed happen. When Kandy questions the exact wording, however, she backs down. This leads to Heidi leaving the Werkroom – for good. She doesn’t like the direction the storyline is going in, and feels the toxicity has gotten too much. Good for her for putting her mental health first.

For what it’s worth, this just seems like a case of semantics. Kandy probably said that if Jimbo was in the bottom and she had the chance to eliminate her, she would consider it. But the wording of “gunning for” Jimbo seemed to be what she had a problem with. Nobody involved was actually lying. They were all just viewing the situation from a different angle. Thankfully, it looks like Kandy, Jimbo, and Heidi are still all good friends away from the show.

Bring it to the runway

As Ru confirmed that Heidi had left the competition – and would not be entered into the Fame Games – the runway for the week got underway. Category is: Ruveal Yourself. Basically, the queens had better bring a ruveal or six to the runway, or they’ll be read for filth!

Thankfully, everybody does a stellar job. Following on from their Snatch Game of Love success, Alexis and Jimbo deliver the most memorable looks of the week. Michelle Visage tells Jaymes that they need to do something a little different the next time they come to the runway. She seems to be getting tired of the same color palette.

When all is said and done, both Kandy and LaLa Ri are safe. Jimbo wins her third challenge in five episodes, while Alexis and Jaymes are both safe. This leaves Kahanna and Jessica in the bottom two. Will Jimbo end her lip sync losing streak against this week’s Lip Sync Assassin? When we see Jasmine Kennedie stand out from behind the stage, it’s not looking good for the bologna-throwing Jimbo.

Five seconds into the lip sync, Jimbo almost falls over. She regains her composure and has a good time, but she stands no chance against the twirls, flips, and kicks of Jasmine. With $20,000 on the line, Jimbo fluffs it once again. Next week’s $30,000 is looking tasty for the queens in the wings, as Ru reveals Jasmine has taken the win.

But – SILENCE! Ru has an announcement to make. She won’t ever stop being blonde. Oh, and nobody is going home this week. Losing Heidi was traumatic enough for Mama Ru. Celebrations! But they can’t last, as the show must go on.

RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 8 continues Fridays on Paramount+ in the US, and WOW Presents Plus in the UK.

RHOA Cast Members Worried About Show Being Recast as Dismal Ratings for Season 15 Continue To Drop

 The Real Housewives franchise is such an industry juggernaut that there’s something strange when one of its iterations flops. Such is the case for Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 15, which seems ludicrous. 14 successful seasons and now the show is flopping?

Well, successful is a relative term. Truth is, RHOA’s viewership has been on the decline for a few years. However, it was only recently that Season 15 saw the lowest viewership in years, with Episode 4 only netting 657,000 viewers.

Yes, the decline has been steady and somewhat expected. Season 12 averaged 1.8 million viewers, Season 13 had 1.25 million, and Season 14 averaged 950,000. Compare this to the days of yore. In Season 7, back in Nene Leakes’ heyday, the show pulled an average of over three million viewers.

Coming soon: Regular Housewives of Atlanta

Unfortunately for the Housewives, they are all too aware of the numbers. An insider close to the cast reported to Radar Online that “They are worried Bravo will pull a recast on them as they did to the cast of Real Housewives of New York. None of them feel safe, even Kandi.”

As many know, RHONY was rebooted with a new cast of younger and more diverse housewives. This hard reset came in the face of declining ratings. While the original RHONY cast was shuffled around and retained jobs in the reality TV space, they made significantly less than they did on their main franchise, and that must be, in part, what the Housewives of Atlanta are worried about.

Ultimately, fans have just found the show boring recently. None of the current cast members engage them presently. Many have called for Andy Cohen to let Nene and Porsha Williams return. But given his complicated dynamic with Nene, that seems unlikely. For now, RHOA might have to flounder before it can swim again, one way or another.

Real Housewives of Atlanta continues Sundays at 8/7c on Bravo.

Vanderpump Rules Reunion Viewers ‘Scared’ of Raquel Leviss

Remember back to a simpler time, before the age of Scandoval? I feel like this Vanderpump Rules drama will never end. Special thanks to Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss for taking over our lives with this annoying cheating scandal.

During the second part of the reunion, nearly everyone was emotional. Except for one cast member who watched the action on television in a trailer. Raquel claimed that Scheana Shay punched her, which Scheana denied. So, Raquel and Scheana had to stay far apart due to that pesky restraining order. And when Raquel graced the stage, she was calm.

Why was Raquel so stoic?

While all her co-stars were crying and shouting, Raquel seemed detached. And fans on Twitter shared their thoughts about the pageant queen’s reactions.

It freaks me out how Raquel has ZERO emotions seeing this entire thing unfold in front of her. No compassion or empathy? Like it’s legit scary how frigid and detached she seems ? what do y’all think is the big reveal next week that even some of the cast doesn’t know? #PumpRules pic.twitter.com/sMh3j1FLFh

— Daily Bravo ? (@dailybravomail) June 1, 2023

A fan account tweeted, “It freaks me out how Raquel has ZERO emotions seeing this entire thing unfold in front of her. No compassion or empathy? Like it’s legit scary how frigid and detached she seems.”

It’s also wild to see everyone getting SO emotional: Tom, Ariana and Scheana are crying, James can’t stay in his chair, Schwartz is taking Xannies — literally everyone BUT Raquel shows emotion… she’s just a totally unfazed shell… scary ? #PumpRules #pumprulesreunion pic.twitter.com/RVtbPUvgmI

— morgan mackenzie evans (@themizfactor) June 1, 2023

Another follower posted, “It’s also wild to see everyone getting SO emotional: Tom [Sandoval], Ariana [Madix], and Scheana [Shay] are crying, James [Kennedy] can’t stay in his chair, [Tom] Schwartz is taking Xannies — literally everyone BUT Raquel shows emotion… she’s just a totally unfazed shell… scary.”

No tears for Scheana

Many fans had a strong reaction to Scheana crying about the restraining order. After all, Raquel was Scheana’s bestie. She even gave Raquel a place to live after her split from James. So, Raquel repaid her by having sex all over the place. Ick!

But Scheana was emotional about her feelings for Raquel, and how she felt protective towards her. Raquel didn’t react to her former friend crying and stated that perhaps she should have written Scheana a note.

Scheana is literally having a breakdown over how betrayed she is, and all Raquel can do is smile and make jokes. Rawt! #pumprules pic.twitter.com/YHsw52vjrE

— Queens of Bravo (@queensofbravo) June 1, 2023

“Scheana is literally having a breakdown over how betrayed she is, and all Raquel can do is smile and make jokes. Rawt!” tweeted the Queens of Bravo account.  

After taping the Pump Rules reunion, Raquel entered a mental health treatment facility for a long-term program geared towards dealing with trauma.  

Vanderpump Rules Season 10 concludes with the final part of the reunion on Wednesday, June 7 at 9/8c on Bravo.

Has Kim Kardashian Got a Mystery New Boyfriend Called Fred?

It feels like the mid-2000s again with all these reports of Kim Kardashian’s dating life. Even people who aren’t fans of the Kardashians have been made aware (perhaps against their will) of everything Kim has been up to for the last couple of years.

Headline after headline came out over Kim’s split from Kanye West, and the situation was only exacerbated when Kim started her relationship with Pete Davidson. It feels like a strange dream now that it’s over. But based on their reuniting at the 2023 Met Gala, it seems the pair’s split was amicable.

Even still, there’s a bit of pain that goes into any breakup. In the trailer for The Kardashians Season 3, Kim spoke briefly about the recent split. A producer reminded her that she was “still in a relationship” at the end of Season 2. That was probably a bit rough to hear.

Is there a Fred coming to The Kardashians?

But now, it sounds like things are on the upswing for Kim’s romantic aspirations. In a new promo for the upcoming episode, Kim hinted at a new relationship with a man given the moniker “Fred.” It was Scott Disick who proposed the nickname after Kim told him, “My friends wanted me to meet someone.”

Scott asked, “Does he meet the standards?” and Kim readily said, “Oh, so meets the standards!” She was later caught texting the mystery man with a smile plastered to her face. Fans might recall a similar situation in the past when Kim would get giddy over texting Pete. Things might be really serious with this so-called Fred.

Speculation abounds as to who this man might be. Unfortunately, for now, we just have no way of knowing. But Kim teased Season 3 as the most emotionally frustrating season of The Kardashians yet, and this Fred just might have a hand in that superlative…

The Kardashians Season 3 continues every Thursday on Hulu.

Savannah Chrisley Details ‘Cry for Help’ Suicide Attempt

Savannah Chrisley of Chrisley Knows Best and Growing Up Chrisley is detailing one of the more difficult times in her lives. It has been a significant transition for her as of late – her entire family dynamic has changed. Her parents now in prison, she is raising her younger brother and niece, and there were already wedges in other family member relationships (I think we all remember the public conflicts).

It seems as though Todd Chrisley didn’t know best, and was just doing the best he could with what he knew at the time. However, Todd also wanted to paint a rosy picture as most people do (he had a TV persona). And now, the façade he attempted to create is part of his public downfall. Here’s hoping Todd turns his time in the pen into bettering himself within. If Teresa Giudice and Martha Stewart can return to reality TV, Todd can too.

His daughter, Savannah has had much to say. She has her podcast now, and there is a lot of reliving what’s already happened. Specifically, she recently chronicled her suicide attempt – again.

Why she would want to keep bringing it up over and over – I cannot speak for her. But I do know there are many steps to a wellness journey, and people need to walk through those steps to move on.

A mark of a healed person is there is no need to tell one’s story. However, if it can help another, the story still has some value. This is possibly where Savannah is coming from as she recently spoke to mental health and addiction awareness advocate, Patrick Custer.

And one day they were on television

Savannah tells us she had difficulties with depression, woke up one day in the hospital after the attempt to take her life, and then went straight to reality TV. Everything takes time and space to overcome, and Savannah herself said she was “masking” the situation. To help her through the transition, she did say that dad, Todd, “spent countless hours with me every day, just trying to get me to talk, telling me his life stories, his trauma. He was, “Trying to let me know, like, ‘Hey, I’m not this perfect person you’ve always thought I am. I’ve gone through stuff in my life, too. I’ve had trauma. I want you to feel comfortable.” She also underwent what was “game-changing” therapy for her.

Savannah said, “I didn’t really have a life-or-death experience, but I did try committing suicide so that potentially was maybe my life-or-death experience … But for me, it was more a cry for help.” I don’t know if she really understands the depth of that time in her life. Hard to say from one conversation.

Speaking to her experience, “It’s so crazy because when you go through so much trauma, I feel like your mind just blocks it out.” She’s not off the mark here, and everyone’s experience is different, but a person does want to keep moving forward. To sort it out, keep trying to let go of trauma, and know, eventually it will shift. And then it will shift again. And one day you will be free of it.

Unlocked with Savannah Chrisley airs via Podcast One.

Captain Lee Thinks Kate Chastain Will Be ‘Outstanding Mom’

Captain Lee Rosbach and Kate Chastain are arguably the most famous stars to come out of the Below Deck franchise. With all the drama that takes place on-screen, it’s always refreshing to see reality stars with good relationships outside of the show.

When it was confirmed that Captain Lee wasn’t invited back for Season 11, Kate had to say her piece. She shared her praises for the captain on Watch What Happens Live, but she wasn’t just there to flatter her old friend.

At the same time Lee’s initial departure was announced, Kate announced her pregnancy. She just recently welcomed her baby boy into the world. In an interview with Us Weekly, Captain Lee had the opportunity to discuss this new development in Kate’s life.

Captain Lee’s advice to Momma Kate

The interviewer, Christina Garibaldi, asked if Captain Lee had spoken with Kate since her giving birth. He said, “I sent her congratulations and she thanked me and I can’t wait till uh, I get up the nerve to go see the little tike.”

Christina then asked, “What kind of mom do you think she’s going to be?” to which Lee responded, “Oh, I think she’ll be an outstanding mom … The kid’s going to grow up strong, no doubt in my mind. And if he’s got his mother’s wit and razor-sharp tongue, he’ll do fine.”

“Was there any advice that you gave her?” Christina asked. Lee smiled and said, “You know, with new moms, especially when they’re that new—like a couple of weeks—you kind of want to give them some space … There’s … a lot of emotions going through them and … your body’s changing dramatically from being pregnant to all of a sudden ‘I’m not pregnant.’” Lee said he’d likely sit down with Kate at one point, but for now, he was just happy to let her get accustomed to parenthood.

Kroy Biermann Told Police He Still Lives With Kim Zolciak Due to Massive Financial Issues

Kroy Biermann is finally admitting what we already knew. No, not that Kim Zolciak might have a minor gambling problem – after months of denials and rumors of financial despair, the truth is coming out.

The former Don’t Be Tardy stars are in the middle of a nightmare and it’s all contained in one residence. Their home is large, but when you have two people in crisis and four minor children, even ample square footage can seem stifling. One might suggest it’s time for the estranged couple to separate, but according to Kroy, it’s not that easy. Radar has the details.

The cash flow is too low to go …

When Kroy called the po-po on Kim because she wouldn’t leave the bathroom (allegedly), the “domestic dispute police report” held some interesting information. Kroy can’t vacate the home because he’s broke.

The report also showed they have contacted authorities “several times” to come and referee their arguments. The document further advised Kim and Kroy are getting pretty desperate when it comes to money. They’re both individually trying to liquidate assets before a judge steps in and decides how property should be divided.

Previously in May, Kroy copped Kim’s designer bags and some jewelry determined to be worth around $175k. He then stuffed them in a safe to make sure they weren’t gambled away sold without his knowledge. Police told Kroy it’s not in their job description to deal with the consequences of enabling.

Apparently, Kroy felt the need to explain why he was still living with someone and locking up her luxury items. An officer wrote in the report, “I met with Kroy who stated that he believed that the purses and the jewelry were marital property.” They added, “Kroy explained that he took several purses because he planned to liquidate them to help offset some costs.” But Kroy wasn’t done confessing.

“Kroy further advised that he and Kim are discussing a possible divorce or separation but that he did not have the resources available to leave the home.” This was in early May and they both filed on May 8.

So basically Kim and Kroy held it together until May and then their faux empire came tumbling down. When Kim called the cops after Kroy took her purses and jewelry, the police report states there was a loud verbal argument in front of their kids. Kroy implied he had been a victim of domestic violence and allegedly has an audio recording.

There are no winners in this scenario. Team Kids.

TELL US – DO YOU THINK KIM OR KROY WILL BE FORCED TO LEAVE THE HOUSE? ARE YOU SHOCKED THEY ALLEGEDLY FIGHT IN FRONT OF THEIR CHILDREN?

Married At First Sight Season 16 Episode 22 Recap: “First Dates and Swapping Mates”

Last night’s episode of Married At First Sight was a sneak peak into the lives of the participants since decision day. I must say there have been some interesting developments since some of the couples parted ways. Two of the husbands seem more devastated about leaving their spouses dogs more than their wives.  But most aren’t letting a divorce stop them from the prospect of finding new love.

A first date with a mystery man leaves one former wife with renewed hope for love. A first date ends with a former husband seeing red. The chemistry is hot when two former spouses steam things up making lattes. Let’s get straight into the recap!

Christopher & Nicole

It’s only been a little over a week since decision day and Nicole and Chris are already preparing for their first wedding as a married couple. They have also been staying connected by sharing their hobbies with one another and staying active. Things are still going well and they have grown even closer. Although I love that they have found happiness together, they have yet to have a major disagreement. Hopefully when that day comes, they will have the tools to move past it.

Airris & Jasmine

Airris hasn’t quite started dating yet, but Jasmine has hit the ground running reconnecting with a guy she has known since college. She believes the best way to move on is to look forward. Although Jasmine misses some aspects of marriage, she doesn’t quite miss her husband. But despite their separation, they have stayed amicable. Airris even feels like he has grown from the experience.

Jasmine finally goes on a date with the guy she has been communicating with from college. Although she isn’t ready to introduce him to the world, we do get to see their date. Things are going well until she asks her date if he is attracted to her. Although he quickly affirms his attraction, he was puzzled as to why there would be a need to ask. It makes me feel sad that her experience with Airris has obviously made her even less confident. Jasmine is gorgeous and has a lot to offer, she just has to believe that for herself.

Clint & Gina

Since decision day, Gina has been staying busy with work and doing some traveling. Clint meets with Domynique to catch up and they are both surprised to hear that their ex-spouses intend to go on a date together. But Domynique has another guy in mind. She has her sights set on another MAFS sight alum, Gil. Clint encourages her to send him a message to see if there may be something there.

Clint’s friend sets him up on a blind date. Things are going well until he asks her about deal breakers. Out of all the answers she could give, I was not expecting her response to be redheads. What are the odds that he would have another woman tell him they don’t like redheads. Is it just me or is that just so rude? I would just decline another date, if I wasn’t attracted to him. There is no need to insult him in the process.

Gina and Mackenzie finally go out on a date. Am I the only person who just doesn’t see it for these two? Mackenzie is all over the place with his job and living situation. I don’t see someone like Gina being able to deal with someone who isn’t as settled as her long term. But she is open to the prospect of continuing to date, even if it is long distance now that he is moving to Michigan. I’m not quite sure he is as open to getting into a serious relationship as her.

Shaquille and Kirsten

Shaq is dealing with the loss of his grandmother. Sadly, the last time they saw one another was at his wedding day. Kirsten contacts Shaq to check on him after discovering his grandmother has passed. This is the first time they have communicated with each other since decision day. Kirsten has been taking time to focus on herself and her career. She still wants to be married with children, but has decided that she doesn’t want to rush into anything. But she still feels like she needs some closure from Shaq after being rejected.  

TELL US – DO YOU THINK GINA AND MACKENZIE WILL MAKE A GOOD COUPLE? SHOULD KIRSTEN REUNITE WITH SHAQ TO GAIN CLOSURE?

Love Is Blind Star Jackie Bonds Would ‘Marry’ Josh Demas ‘A Thousand Times Over’

She’s in deep. Jackelina “Jackie” Bonds of Love is Blind Season 4 believes she has met her match. After ending her relationship with Marshall Glaze (who is also in a happy relationship), Jackie has found renewed love in costar, Josh Demas. And apparently, he’s someone she could marry “a thousand times over.”

She’s practically swooning! Let’s hope this relationship is solid because she’s given us a deep, deep tribute via a recent Q&A. On Instagram. You know it’s cool if you tell a person how you feel to their face, right?

But love is love and if she says Josh is the one for her – then he is. She says, “He really is my twin.” That’s better than the two halves make a whole rhetoric. At least, we’re two people!

As to their dynamic, she says, “I know his buttons … he knows mine … We barely argue.” Ah, the love bubble. However, it’s reasonable to think that when you’ve lived with someone long enough sometimes a non-button becomes a button for one day only haha.

Is he a fool?

As for the show, she basically said it made Josh look ridiculous. In fact, she said, “The show made him look a fool but he is far from.” Reality TV tends to do that with their special splicing and dicing editing.

As far as his drinking, she’s defending him there too. Jackie added, “He doesn’t drink … in the year I have been with him he has had a max four shots.” Needless to say, she won’t be finding him at the pub anytime soon. Good for him, if that’s the way he likes to live. He is a spiritual man, and even has Jackie finding her place back in the church.

Jackie indicated it’s an unimaginable love. But it is imaginable girl, because he’s there in the flesh! And speaking to their love, she says he’s “part of her chromosome. Part of her DNA.” Maybe she should write a romance novel because she’s lost me there. She has a way with poetic words, but let’s not have to run any DNA tests.

As for Jackie, she feels the need to explain a lot. And defend a lot (per her IG). Hopefully, she’ll ease up and let the chips fall where they may. People always change and grow. Relationships evolve and dynamics change (even a live reunion happens once in a while). And you can’t control what people are going to think about you. Roll with it, and that’ll keep your relationship together.

Watch Love is Blind, but don’t keep the blinders on in the end. Season 4 is available to binge on Netflix. Season 5 will be here in September.

Most Iconic Catchphrases from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

It can be difficult to stand out as a Real Housewife, especially in Beverly Hills, but a good catch-phrase is one way housewives can guarantee fans will remember them. In honor of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills celebrating thirteen years on the air this year, here are a few of the most iconic RHOBH catchphrases.

“I’m Not a B***h, But I’ve Played One on TV” – Eileen Davidson

Soap opera star Eileen Davidson joined the cast of RHOBH in Season 5 alongside her friend and fellow actress, Lisa Rinna. Eileen may be known for her over-the-top characters on Days of Our Lives and The Young and the Restless but the star was much more subdued as a Real Housewife. She mostly stayed out of the drama, excluding her iconic fight with Kim Richards in Amsterdam, and often served as the voice of reason during cast arguments.

Eileen’s Season 5 catchphrase, “I’m not a b***h, but I’ve played one on TV,” perfectly captured her arc on the show. Turns out, Eileen is much less dramatic than her soap career would suggest.

“I’m Passionate About Dogs, Just Not Crazy About B*****s” – Lisa Vanderpump

Aside from being a successive restauranteur, Lisa Vanderpump is known for her love of pink and her even greater love of dogs. In Season 6, Lisa referenced being an animal lover in perhaps one of her most iconic RHOBH taglines: “I’m passionate about dogs, just not crazy about b*****s.”

“I Believe In Excess of Everything, Except Moderation” – Dorit Kemsley

Dorit Kemsley’s Season 8 tagline perfectly captured what fans love about Real Housewives of Beverly Hills-the luxurious lifestyle.

The women on RHOBH take everything to the next level. From designer outfits to extravagant birthday parties, these women are not familiar with the word “moderation.”

While all the RHOBH women bring their A-game when it comes to fashion, Dorit Kemsley manages to separate herself from the pack with her head-to-toe designer looks and her impressive handbag collection. The blonde beauty certainly isn’t sitting at home cutting coupons.

“I’m an Enigma, Wrapped in a Riddle, and Cash” – Erika Jayne

Erika “Jayne” Girardi joined the RHOBH cast in Season 6 and ushered in an exciting new era for the franchise. Erika brought more glam, more money, and more extravagance to a show already dripping in diamonds.

Erika’s Season 6 tagline, “I’m in an enigma, wrapped in a riddle, and cash,” spoke to her role on the show. Erika’s stage persona “Erika Jayne” made her an “enigma” to fans and her co-stars. They couldn’t tell where Erika Jayne ended and Erika Girardi began.

“Life Isn’t All Diamonds and Rose, But It Should Be” – Lisa Vanderpump

One look at Lisa’s Los Angeles mansion “Villa Rosa” reveals that she does not favor simplicity.

Lisa’s Season 3 tagline, “Life isn’t all diamonds and rose, but it should be” not only sums up her lifestyle but also speaks to the lifestyle of the rich and famous in Beverly Hills.

“I’d Rather Spend My Life Kicking A** Than Kissing It” – Brandi Glanville

Brandi Glanville can best be described by her Season 5 tagline, “I’d rather spend my life kicking a** than kissing it.” The former model has never been afraid to speak her mind on the show, even if it made her a few enemies.

“In the Game of Life, It’s Rinna Take All” – Lisa Rinna

Lisa Rinna is frequently at the center of drama on RHOBH. Since the actress joined the cast in Season 5, she hasn’t been afraid to stir the pot and has often put herself directly in the line of fire. From accusing Lisa Vanderpump of executing “Puppy Gate” to siding with Brandi Glanville over her longtime friend Denise Richards in Season 10, the soap star has been heavily involved in crafting some of the biggest storylines on the show.

Her Season 9 tagline, “In the game of life, it’s Rinna take all,” speaks to her trajectory on the franchise. When Rinna makes an enemy on RHOBH, she is often the one left standing while her opponent retreats from the show. It’s like she said in her Season 7 tagline: “My advice to you, don’t hustle the hustler.”
