Although Brandi hasn’t filed a lawsuit against the network like Caroline Manzo and Leah McSweeney, she has threatened it. A letter sent to the network by her lawyers read: “Mr. Cohen was Ms. Glanville’s boss at the time and exercised complete and total control over her career. This was an extraordinary abuse of power that left Ms. Glanville feeling trapped and disgusted. It is inconceivable that Mr. Cohen remains in his post in spite of this behavior and harkens back to the bad old days of Matt Lauer and NBC News when profits were prioritized over people.”
Now, Brandi’s latest allegations claim somebody could be trying to destroy evidence.
Brandi says an “FBI guy” is involved in her potential case against Bravo
Luckily, my lawyers and &the FBI guy they hired downloaded everything from my phone for the past 13 years over 6 months ago before everyone started deleting messages ? ??
In a post to X, formerly known as Twitter, Brandi sent out some information that likely should’ve been kept private.
“Luckily, my lawyers and &the FBI guy they hired downloaded everything from my phone for the past 13 years over 6 months ago before everyone started deleting messages,” she wrote, followed by a few emojis.
Whew. This is … messy. To say the least.
Andy and his team have since addressed the rumors coming from Brandi, saying he made an inappropriate joke “in jest.” He also said Brandi was “in on the joke.” Regarding Leah’s lawsuit, which alleged the Watch What Happens Live host gives a favorable edit to the Housewives who do cocaine with him, he called it “completely false.”
We’ll keep an eye out to see what comes next from Brandi’s camp.
TELL US — HAVE YOU BEEN KEEPING UP WITH THE NEWS? WHAT DO YOU THINK OF IT?
The dog that Rachel Leviss got while she and James Kennedy were dating has become an honorary Vanderpump Rules member. Hippie, formerly known as Graham Cracker, became a central point of this season’s narrative, earlier than expected.
Lisa Vanderpump reunited the dog with James. This, while Rachel left town to stay in a mental health facility. While Rachel had put Graham in the care of her family, he had proven to be too aggressive to keep around. And when he was put with a foster family, he bit a few times, before being dropped off at a shelter.
But the heartwarming reunion between James and Hippie was just featured on Pump Rules. Despite being anxious about what she was going to see, Rachel was left surprised. And with a theory about what went down.
Rachel thinks the dog reunion scene with James was potentially “reshot”
The former VPR star claimed that the dog was a biter, and as a result, was surrendered to a vetted foster home. Meanwhile, Rachel worried that LVP was going to claim he was given to a kill shelter.
On the February 27 episode of Rachel Goes Rogue, Rachel doubled-down on having left Hippie in good hands. She was anxious to see the scene between James and Lisa play out, hoping that her name had not been dragged into it and to see how her former boss portrayed Hippie’s rescue on camera.
“When Lisa gave the dog to James, she never said my name. She didn’t say that story that was put out in the press. Of me surrendering my dog to a kill shelter. And it was hours away of being euthanized,” Rachel reacted. “And I thought that was very interesting because I was like, ‘Oh. This isn’t what I thought it was going to be.’ And I’m pleasantly surprised. And I’m a little bit relieved. Because I don’t have to worry about more death threats and death wishes.”
However, it’s not all good feelings from Rachel’s side. The former beauty pageant contestant suspects that the scene was filmed again to present a more neutral storyline.
She believed that the “scene was reshot so that [Vanderpump] could backtrack.”
But as the former SUR server can’t be sure, Rachel presented an alternative. No less lacking in her feeling that Lisa has an agenda against her.
“Or if that was the original [scene] — she just let those rumors run rampant. Because it was, like, propaganda to make me look like this ultimate villain,” Rachel added.
When fans of Real Housewives of Atlanta first met Porsha Williams, she was young, meek, and under the spell of a man. The mother of one didn’t know the difference between Miss USA or Miss America. But one thing was for sure, she just wanted to find her wealthy ride-or-die prince who would take care of her to the end of her days. If you got it, flaunt it and use it to land that rich husband! But instead of her happily ever after, Porsha ended up kissing a lot more frogs than she ever expected to.
For the most part, she has taken these men, warts and all. But I can’t help but wonder why she essentially goes for the bottom of the barrel instead of a more high-caliber man. Even though love isn’t perfect, Porsha’s pattern of finding a mate has left most followers scratching their heads wondering, “What was she thinking?”
Sometimes, a girl’s radar for a good man is just broken, and this might be the case with Porsha. There were so many signs she was going to have a rough ride on the rollercoaster of love. Her current husband, Simon Guobadia, is an alleged government scammer with a messy history. There was no way he was ever going to put her first if it meant sacrificing all he had earned over the years and being left with nothing. At least now, Porsha is out of their union, but this won’t be the last of her abnormal choices.
Meanwhile, Porsha’s first husband, Kordell Stewart, was a control freak when fans watched the Real Housewives of Atlanta. Throughout their marriage, Kordell was caught telling Porsha she had to choose between a career and a baby because he was “the man of the house.” He acted like he had to hustle while Porsha was expected to be the dutiful stay-at-home wife. Kordell had a hostile and condescending tone as he is a man who believes in clear gender roles.
Love it or hate it, but Porsha has a clear type, and it’s older men that look like Daddy Warbucks. When Porsha married Kordell, she was only 24 years old, while he was nearly 10 years her senior. They had nothing in common except he probably liked having a pretty girl on his arm, and she liked having a fancy house in Buckhead. Porsha was in the prime of her life, but Kordell just wanted to keep her at home on lockdown.
The same can be said for Simon, who is often mocked online for his age. With a 16-year age difference, fans noted the time he held on for dear life whilst dancing at his own wedding. Other photos have shown the couple on a speedboat, Porsha living her best life while Simon is literally just along for the ride.
Porsha might have unresolved issues from her engagement with Dennis McKinley after he cheated on her when she was going through postpartum depression. She has a pattern of jumping into the next relationship seemingly as long as the man has some money and shows her a little bit of attention. The moves are always jarring, especially since she usually has little chemistry with her new beau. Simon, for example, very much felt like she was dating her grandfather, not to mention none of her family approved.
So, while most of the Bravoverse is surprised somehow, I’m also completely not shocked. The news of Porsha’s divorce is the most and least surprising thing ever. From a former NFL star to a hot dog salesman to an alleged Nigerian scammer, Porsha’s range is vast! And I don’t see her changing her pattern of men anytime soon.

Real Housewives of New York Season 12 added a new face to the mix of seasoned OGs with Leah McSweeney. The mother of one was spunky and had energy for days, which was great for embracing her co-stars when she talked about sex or ran around Ramona Singer’s pool naked and flailing around tiki torches.
But her antics got boring real quick, and after two seasons Leah wasn’t asked back. The business owner tried to manufacture drama and be relevant, particularly when she brought in her friend, Eboni K. Williams. While she had entertaining moments, especially in her first season, she just wasn’t RHONY material. Instead of falling back into the shadows gracefully, she is the latest Bravoleb to smack the network with a heavy lawsuit.
News reports revealed Leah was suing Andy Cohen and Bravo for discrimination. She alleged the culture promoted alcohol and drug use. As a recovering alcoholic, this was not the kind of environment Leah should have ever been in. So why did she sign up for it? Every Bravo personality knows they are signing a deal with the devil for their 15 minutes of fame. It’s pretty much common knowledge that the crazier you act, the better chance you have at staying on your show.
Via People, Leah filed a civil lawsuit in the Southern District of New York. It named Andy, Bravo Media, NBC Universal Media, Warner Bros. Discovery, Shed Media US, and producers John Paparazzo, Lisa Shannon, and Darren Ward. The 109-page document claimed that the defendants established a “rotted workplace culture where employees were pressured to consume alcohol.” Leah also noted in court docs that the network failed to maintain a safe working environment and accommodate her disabilities. This included her “alcohol use disorder” and “mental health disorders.”
Leah also shared that she had broken her nine years of sobriety but was sober when Season 12 was filmed. One of Leah’s biggest claims is that producers knew about her alcohol disorder because she confided in them. Leah shares in the paperwork that she felt discriminated against, noting producers were “intentionally planning scenarios intended to exacerbate her disabilities to create morbidly salacious reality television.” Perhaps the biggest bombshell was claiming that Andy “engages in cocaine use with Housewives and other ‘Bravolebrities’ that he employs” and has a “proclivity for cocaine usage with his employees.” The paperwork noted that “Cohen tends to provide the Housewives with whom he uses cocaine with more favorable treatment and edits.”
The former Real Housewives of New York City star took to her Instagram to comment on her lawsuit in a lengthy post. In what felt like a cryptic note, Leah wrote, “This is not a story I ever thought I’d be telling; in fact, I was petrified to speak on it and warned not to.” Leah went on to say, “Your favorite Bravo shows are run by people who create a dangerous work environment, encourage substance abuse to artificially create drama, and cynically prey on the vulnerabilities of their employees.”
Leah signed off by writing, “Some of the stories and incidents that are detailed in the lawsuit have been shown in edited form on TV or reported in the media, but many have not. And there will be much more that comes out once the people involved are questioned under oath. Today, I am taking back my reality.” These are strong words from a former Housewife, but she isn’t alone.
Caroline Manzo has sued, alleging she was sexually assaulted and harassed by Brandi Glanville. In her lawsuit, Caroline claims the network and producers sacrificed their cast members’ safety for their own ratings and profits. Not to be left out, Brandi has claimed she was sent a video from Andy telling her he wanted to have sex with another Bravo star in 2022. Honestly, I don’t know what is going on in the Bravosphere, but if any of these claims or lawsuits are true, there needs to be a cleaning of house.

It’s been a tough seven days for fans as they’ve waited to find out who would be the next celebrity banished during The Traitors Season 2, Episode 10. After finishing an explosive roundtable, where Phaedra told Pilot Pete she wouldn’t be kissing his ass for a rose, the episode ended on a cliffhanger, where MJ had the final vote, which would either send the Real Housewives veteran or The Bachelor packing. Plus, the Faithful could be inching closer to uncovering who else could be hiding behind one of those campy green cloaks. Here’s everything that went down in The Traitors Season 2, Episode 10: “The Weight of Deceit.”
Who was banished at the beginning of the Traitors Season 2, Episode 10?

Peter Weber was the seventh celebrity banished from The Traitors Season 2, Episode 10.
If you thought Peter had a chance of surviving against Phaedra’s sharp tongue and years of courtroom experience, you’d better think again. MJ revealed she voted to banish Peter, making him the seventh celeb and (fifth Faithful) banished from Alan’s castle.
Phaedra was elated. Well, as much as she could be. She knew her time in the house was coming to an end, especially since nearly half of the table voted to banish her. However, her co-stars were devastated. And you could see the defeat written all over their faces.
As they left the banishment room to discuss the night’s events, Trishelle tried her hardest to get the rest of the Bravo ladies to wake up and smell the coffee. Phaedra is a Traitor! However, her girls won’t give up on her that easily.

John Bercow was the seventh Faithful murdered in the Traitors Season 2, Episode 10.
Once the remaining Traitors, Kate and Phaedra, made it to the turret, they began discussing which Faithful would get the axe. After deliberating, it came down to John and Trishelle. Although Trishelle would’ve been the best move, they chose to murder the long-winded politician (hey, Dorit Kemsley) since he was likely the remaining Faithful to give Phaedra the hardest time.
At breakfast the next day, the group realized John was killed off. By this point, some of the remaining Bravo Faithfuls, like Shahs of Sunset’s MJ, started putting pieces together and concluded that Phaedra must be the remaining Traitor. But can Kate keep the heat off of her? She attempted to persuade Shereé and MJ into believing Sandra was the treacherous murderer. Keep reading to see if it’ll work.

During a do-or-die challenge, Alan told the remaining contestants they must dig out chunks of gold hidden in a pile of [redacted]. Once located, they have to successfully cross a wobbly bridge built in the middle of a body of water.
“It’s just the Indiana Jones competition that I’m not really ready for,” Phaedra said in her confessional before attempting the course.
A few more celebrities tried their hand at the challenge, including MJ (who found the hidden shield), Sandra, and Shereé. However, CT and Trishelle used their skills from The Challenge to secure the money.
They zipped through the water like Usain Bolt — or Michael Phelps — whichever you fancy, cashing out a large chunk of money for the grand prize. And to the rest of the cast’s surprise, MJ tried again, made it across, and officially claimed that shield, which will keep her safe through the night’s next murder.

The cast returned to the castle to begin the night’s conversations surrounding the banishment after the competition. At this point, everyone except Shereé and MJ are convinced that Phaedra is a Traitor. So, the RHOA OG pulled her friend aside to get to the bottom of it.
“I [have] tried to protect you because they are gunning for you,” Shereé told Phaedra. “Who else could it be if it’s not you?” she asked. “It could be CT for all we know,” Phaedra replied.
“At the end of the day, we all know Faithfuls can not win the game if there’s a Traitor here. So, my job is to get Traitors out, and we just have to find them. But I need you also to help me help you,” Shereé continued.
“Honestly, looking at you, in your eyes, are you a Traitor?” she asked Phaedra. The question caught Phae Phae off guard. “You said what?” Phaedra asked. “Are you a Traitor?” Shereé asked again, to which Phae answered, “No, I’m not.”
The players head into the banishment room for the night’s roundtable discussion, and the stakes are at an all-time high.

Phaedra Parks is the eighth celebrity banished in The Traitors Season 2, Episode 10.
Alan opened the door for debate, reminding the Faithfuls that this was one of their final chances to find a Traitor.
Trishelle opened the conversation, telling the others that Phaedra’s newest red flag was that she was quiet the night before when called out.
“That is the craziest argument in the world,” Phae said. “I’ve never even heard of something so ludicrous.”
Other players expressed their love for Phaedra but pointed to the signs. “Let’s not forget, I haven’t done anything for my name to be written down,” Phaedra said. “You have absolutely nothing concrete against me.”
“I don’t want to believe that you’re a Traitor,” Shereé said. ” I don’t know … If you have something else to say or to give us?” she finished. To which Phaedra said, “I’m very exhausted.”
“It just gets to a point where you really get tired of fighting.”
Phaedra’s fellow Traitor, Kate, expressed her frustration with her gameplay in her confessional. “I have gone to bat for you,” she said. “And now, you’re not even trying. Well, bad news, Phaedra, I’m not doing it anymore. You’re on your own.”
As players cast their votes, the moment was heartfelt. Except for Kate.
“Phaedra, my vote’s for you because there’s not a person at this table besides you who I could even stomach voting for. [While playing] this game, you’re more selfish than skillful, and it’s not fun to play games with people who play that way.” Whoa. Okay, sis. Let’s hope you bring that same energy to the reunion.
On her way out, Phaedra revealed her true status to the rest of the group. “I am the most fabulous, faithful … Traitor.”
Is Sandra on to Kate?

Following the roundtable, Sandra wanted to question Kate on why she got so personal with Phaedra before sending her packing. “It’s cause she was being selfish, and that’s not fun, that’s annoying.”
However, Sandra, the two-time Survivor winner, wasn’t buying it.
“Kate attacking Phaedra made me uncomfortable [and] rang alarm bells for me. It just doesn’t add up, and all I’m thinking is, ‘Could she be a Traitor?'” Sandra asked in her confessional.
Come back next week to see who wins it all — The Traitors or the Faithful.
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Heather Gay recently revealed her feelings about using Ozempic to lose weight. And in particular, to backlash surrounding her choice to use the drug.
In an interview for ABC News, journalist Deborah Roberts told the Bravo veteran that she “represented body positivity.” But now “some women are saying it’s kind of copout.” Heather agreed, saying she’d seen the comments that called her a sell-out and unrelatable.
“It’s disappointing [and] sad to know that body positivity was all a big lie,” Heather said. “Because it’s better to not be overweight.”
Heather speaks about Mary Cosby’s “size 14” snub on Watch What Happens Live
Later in the conversation, Deborah asked Heather what she thought about Mary Cosby’s comments in RHOSLC Season 4. She made a seemingly shady joke about her co-star on Watch What Happens Live, stating she didn’t believe Gucci made corsets in a “size 14.”
Heather replied, sharing that Mary’s snub was a “typical” one. She explained: “It feels like something I’m very used to. I’m old enough to know that I have wasted a lot of years blaming myself and feeling guilty and shame over my lack of ability to be thinner. And if I had just known there was a medicine that would make me thinner with little to no effort, I would have taken it 30 years ago and probably had a different life.”
Mary later addressed her comments during the RHOSLC Season 4 reunion. She clarified that she wasn’t body-shaming the Bad Mormon author but instead asking a sincere question.
Who else is on the Ozempic wave with Heather?

Heather isn’t the only Real Housewives star who’s admitted to using Ozempic — a Type 2 diabetic drug that suppresses users’ appetites, causing them to shed pounds.
Jen Fessler and Margaret Josephs also joined the wave, and LeeAnne Locken from The Real Housewives of Dallas copped to it immediately. “I cannot tell a lie. There was a magic shot that I took once a week, and I just lost 35 pounds,” she revealed. “I am not complaining one penny. And if people want to be mad at me for that, well, poopy on them … I’m very happy.”
Heather is currently filming The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 5, which will likely debut on Bravo before the end of 2024.

For once, Kim Zolciak’s name is turning up in headlines for uncontroversial reasons, all thanks to her daughter, Brielle Biermann. On February 26, Brielle announced her engagement via social media.
Photos showed minor league baseball player Billy Seidl on one knee, popping the question to Brielle. The two made their relationship official in April 2023. Things have progressed well since then, in contrast to Kim’s ever-worsening marriage.
On February 27, shortly after the news of her daughter’s engagement went live, Kim took to Instagram to celebrate. She posted a picture of Billy proposing to Brielle, as well as pictures of her and her daughter FaceTiming one another after the engagement. In the post’s caption, Kim expressed she was “so happy” for the young couple.
She continued, “nothing makes me happier than seeing my kids happy! It’s the best feeling EVER!! Love you both to the moon and back and look forward to alllll the years to come .” As one might’ve expected, Kim’s post was met with a lot of heat. Fans criticized Brielle’s relationship, Kim’s relationship, and both parties’ finances.
Of course, taking shots at the Biermann family is easy. Kim and Kroy Biermann’s circus of a divorce has made headlines for months now. At present, Kim seems happy, as does her daughter. Perhaps we can wait a little while before roasting again. When another headline about Kim and Kroy inevitably hits the presses, at that point, we can get back to business as usual.
For now, perhaps the family should just be able to bask in the brief reprieve.
