Christine Brown from Sister Wives shares her wisdom with all women who feel “stuck” — it’s never too late. And she would know. It’s been three years since her split from Kody Brown and she’s doing better than ever.
Anyone who has seen the drama unfold on Sister Wives knows that Christine has an idea of what it feels like to be “stuck.” And while starting over is never easy, it can absolutely be worth it.
Christine shared her message on social media. In a video she discussed what she felt like trapped in a no-win situation, alluding to her marriage with Kody. In the video, she commiserated with women feeling trapped and reminded them that they were not alone.
Alongside the clip, she added words of encouragement in the caption.
“Extra vulnerable post here, but I am speaking to the women who felt like I did — tapped, stuck, and afraid there’s no way out,” she shared. “I want you to know that you are not alone. I’ve been there. And I want to encourage you to find ways to choose joy, even when fear tells you to stay where you are.”
She added, “It’s not easy, but there is a path to happiness, and it’s worth every step. You deserve a life filled with love, peace, and joy. Never settle for less.”
In her video, Christine emphasized feeling like she was stuck in a life that wasn’t what she had in mind. She also admitted that the only one who could change that was herself. And she realized she was making decisions based on fear.
She encouraged followers that it was important to make decisions based on joy instead. “It’s time to make decisions based on hope,” she shared. “There is hope. It’s a brighter future. There are answers and I believe in you.”
It was a hopeful message and many fans commented saying that she was inspiring them and it was exactly what they needed to hear. One commenter told her to never stop sharing because she was always inspiring someone with her story.
Christine left Kody in November 2021 after 25 years. She eventually met David Woolley and married him in 2023.

Phaedra Parks always looks so glamorous! And the glam worked in her favor during her time on The Traitors, with makeup helping her stay in the game.
While the Real Housewives of Atlanta comeback queen ultimately did not win the season, she did manage to hang on. And she looked flawless her entire time there.
During season 2 of the hit Peacock show, Phaedra was tapped as a Traitor. It was her mission to trick the Faithfuls. They had to believe she was one of them so that she and her fellow Traitors could steal the prize money and emerge victorious.
The game works with players voting to banish someone from the day at the end of each day. They attempt to banish a Traitor so that by the end only Faithfuls remain. At night, when everyone goes to bed, the Traitors come out to play to decide who to “murder” (i.e. send home).
Phaedra outlasted some of her fellow Traitors. She told PEOPLE that her survival was largely thanks to a makeup hack that she used during her stay.
She explained that fellow players began to suspect that whoever looked tired in the morning was probably a Traitor since they were up all night planning their devious deeds. So they looked closely at everyone and she had to make sure she looked fresh and rested.
“I was like, let me make sure to get up at 4 a.m. and have my eyes concealed and look absolutely amazing,” Phaedra explained. “Because people were looking so close at everyone in the mornings. When the girls would come in, if they looked a little haggard they would say, ‘She’s got to be a Traitor. She didn’t get any sleep. Look at the bags under her eyes.’ So when they’d say that I was like, ‘Oh my God, look, I’m so rested.’”
It’s a great way to use makeup to her advantage. Phaedra recently partnered with IT Cosmetics and considers herself an “amateur makeup artist” and self-proclaimed makeup “hack girl.” She confirms she did her own makeup for her time on Traitors.
“I did that makeup every day,” Phaedra said. “I did my makeup and most of the other cast’s makeup.” Whenever the other girls asked her to do their makeup, she’d reply, “Get in my chair.”

The mystery of the disappearing laundry plagued the interior crew on Below Deck Mediterranean Season 9. Who was the culprit? Was it Third Stew, Bri Muller, who spent the majority of her time in the laundry room? Or was it Second Stew, Elena Dubaich, who also helped out in the laundry room from time to time? Chief Stew Aesha Scott was on the case and had a plan to figure out who was responsible. And this left Elena feeling vindicated by the results.
Elena Dubaich says Bri Muller used her “as a scapegoat” for all of the laundry mishaps

Throughout the season, both Bri and Elena struggled in the laundry room. Elena labeled the chef’s pants incorrectly, while Bri basically lost everyone’s laundry. However, Bri didn’t take accountability, as she thought Elena might have been sabotaging her. So she wore her best Mean Girls pink polo and wrote all the supposed crimes in her laundry burn book. Aesha had enough and moved Bri to clothes only and Elena to wash rags.
As clothes continued to go missing, Elena felt like she could rest her case. Bravo’s The Daily Dish reported Elena’s feelings on laundry-gate. She said, “I kind of felt vindicated when people finally realized that it has been Bri all along. I kind of knew a little bit more about what’s actually going on with Bri because I was in laundry with her.”
Elena continued, “And also, I was in the crew mess on quite a few occasions when people were actively talking about all their things missing. Even the engineer was looking for his bed sheets! Everybody was kind of complaining about things.” The crew did complain but kept it mostly to themselves as they didn’t want Bri to get in trouble with Captain Sandy Yawn.
Believe it or not, Elena supported Bri in doing her job correctly. She said, “It’s not that I wanted Bri to fail; I just wanted people to know that it wasn’t my fault, even if I had messed up one time. I just need a moment of vindication, and then I can move on.”
In the end, Elena felt that Bri used her as the fall guy for her laundry faux pas. She concluded, “She then began to kind of use me as a scapegoat for her own mistakes. At a certain point, I […] just needed to step away.” Mystery solved.
It’s been five years since the professional dancer admitted to being “not straight” in an interview. Her self-realization not only changed the way she looks at the world but, in some cases, affected the way other people see her.
“Not about being straight or gay or bi or queer”
“Coming out is one of the most vulnerable and empowering things that you can do,” Julianne said on the Aug. 27 episode of the Jamie Kern Lima Show podcast. “It’s not about being straight or gay or bi or queer. It’s more about … I’m just learning, like, what love is, and I love people, and I don’t know what I’m attracted to, but I choose you.”
“I was starting to see people and seeing their hearts and seeing their beauty and their essence coming through in a way that I was like, wow, I love people,” the Utah native said. “I don’t know if it’s a sexual attraction or a ‘this’ attraction, but I’m just seeing people. And that was such a beautiful revelation too.”
Julianne Hough’s marriage was “what I needed at the time”
Julianne first spoke about her sexuality in a 2019 interview with Women’s Health. At the time, she recalled telling then-husband Brooks Laich, “You know I’m not straight, right?”
“He was like, ‘I’m sorry, what?’” she continued. “I was like, ‘I’m not. But I choose to be with you.'”
Sadly, Brooks and Julianne divorced three years later after almost five years of marriage. But despite its ending, the singer/actress looks back fondly at that time. She admitted to Jamie Kern Lima that her marriage to the NHL hockey player was “the greatest thing that could have happened to me at that time.”
“What I needed at that time was to reconnect to my 10-year-old self,” the Grease Live star explained. “And what did I need at 10? I really needed safety and almost, like, a father figure to come in and be that grounding force of stability. So I think a lot of our dynamic was this little girl feeling and this stability and stable man to be there. He provided such a beautiful foundation for me to be a little girl.”
Even though they’re no longer married, Brooks will always hold a special place in her heart. “We are very important, special people in each other’s lives,” she continued. “We shared a really powerful season together … I know that I also brought a lot of things to his life … It has definitely felt like a mutual respect and love and period of growth for both of us.”

The Real Housewives of Dubai Season 2 Finale, “Best Friends for Never,” has arrived. This fun, petty season consisted of switching alliances, flashing vaginas, voice notes, VIPP Beyoncé seats, stunning homes, burgeoning businesses, and new loves. It was a wild, refreshing ride for an often messy franchise. But as we sit, it is time to say goodbye, for now, hopefully (Please, Bravo people, grant us a Season 3, PLEASE). Let us now check out how these uber-rich ladies shut their season down (including the endings of a few of their relationships) via our Real Housewives of Dubai Season 2 Finale recap.
“You can’t be b*tchy and not expect to be called a b*tch” on RHODubai
Last week, the ladies headed off for a golf trip. The sun is now rising on their second day away, so as the ladies (and their men) awaken, they gather in their respective cliques for breakfast. On a 7-star overlook, Stanbury and Taleen’s men joke about their actionless night, which sees Taleen noting, “Today, we’re going to have a fun day. We’re going to Soul Beach.”
Rafael Khanoyan questions the beach call. Sergio Carrallo agrees. Stanbury asks her man why he is getting involved. “Because he is sticking up for his friend,” Taleen pointedly answers, gesturing at Stanbury.
Stanbury tells Taleen to stop inserting herself into fights. We then see a flashback of Taleen jumping into a heated debate between Lesa and Brooks, causing Lesa to read Taleen down.
In another room, Chanel and Lesa are debriefing. Lesa remains annoyed that Taleen added fuel to her fiery fight with Brooks. “None of them have worked as hard as me or have a business,” Lesa quips. The cameras cut to Brooks, reciting this line to Sara and Saba, thoroughly annoyed, as she and many others also have businesses.
At Soul Beach, Taleen confronts Lesa, causing Stanbury to say nope and exit. Taleen apologizes for interfering, but she thinks Lesa went too hard on her at their dinner. Lesa answers, “You can’t be b*tchy and not expect to be called a b*tch.”
In her confessional, Taleen talks about inventing a drinking game for every time Lesa calls her a b*tch. Back in real-time, Lesa turns to Brooks, telling Brooks that she should never have come to her business and spoken about her own. Brooks tries explaining her actions, but Chanel interjects, trying to aid Lesa.
Chaos ensues.

Sara and Saba exit. Chanel and Lesa stand up next, leaving Taleen and Brooks alone in their cabana. Taleen stretches her arms out wide, explaining that she apologized. “F*ck your apology, b*tch,” Lesa responds, walking quickly to grab her man so they can leave.
Brooks and Taleen join Chanel, Saba, and the remaining men in their cabana. Brooks asks for “no more cliquey bullsh*it” to transpire. Chanel asks, “Who’s cliquey?”
Taleen turns to Chanel, explaining that she is a part of the problem. Taleen thinks Chanel is not shutting Lesa down hard enough. Chanel disagrees, but Brooks does not. Brooks thinks Chanel changes whenever Lesa is near, as flashbacks emerge, proving their points.
“Ayan is Lesa’s puppet,” Brooks says in her confessional. She then turns herself into a hysterical, Chanel-themed Marionette puppet.
As for Chanel, she is shocked. She had no idea Brooks and Taleen felt this way. Maturely, she understands their feelings. “A monkey doesn’t see its own asshole,” she jokes as the cameras return to the pool, where those who remain are now getting along in the water.
Summer plans, a newly single Sara, and the beginnings of a crack in Lesa and Chanel’s friendship

Summer is nearing, so many of these ladies are heading out of town. Therefore, Stanbury and Chanel are throwing a “Goodbye, Dubai” party for their cast.
Sara is not sure what her summer plans will look like, as she and her son are still traumatized from their vile nanny incident. In addition, her relationship with Akin is failing. She FaceTimes him, asking him for a break so that she can focus on her child, but he hangs up on her. In her confessional, Sara says this relationship is now over.
Stanbury and her daughter, Yasmine Habib, go riding. Yasmine and Sergio are doing well these days, which pleases Stanbury greatly. Stanbury has also decided she does not want another baby yet, and Yasmine calls her decision a good one.
Chanel rings up her sister to share her Huda Beauty news. Her sister is thrilled, and Chanel cries. Hearing sweet words helped her heart, and her ticker is still struggling after hearing what Taleen and Brooks had to say.
Chanel then reveals that she called Lesa, telling her friend that Taleen and Brooks find her behaviors different when Lesa is in her presence. But according to Chanel, Lesa said, “Don’t bring that up.” Lesa thinks it makes her look like a bad friend, so she wants these statements squashed.
Chanel is now annoyed. She thinks her friendship with Lesa feels like a one-way street.
Stanbury and Chanel’s Goodbye, Dubai party arrives

In a borrowed mansion, Stanbury and Chanel begin preparing for their Goodbye, Dubai party. As their guests arrive (including Nina Ali), they take their seats on matching thrones, extending their royal hands to each approaching guest.
Sara tells the ladies she ended things with Akin, but he is still trying to fix things. She does not know what to do. I do, girl. Run.
Speaking of likely fast runners, Brooks shows up with a young piece of meat named Max. She tells the cameras there is nothing romantic going on. Her costars ask her about her 12-year-old date, as Brooks laughs, asking them to “Stop it.”
When Lesa arrives, she refuses to kiss Stanbury and Chanel’s hands, which Stanbury boils down to jealousy on Lesa’s behalf. As for Lesa, she thinks the kiss the hand move is “giving thirsty” and “forced,” with a side of “nothing.”
Settling down the room, Stanbury and Chanel announce a surprise. They filmed a video for everyone to watch. As it airs, Sara jokes that it looks like a Tampon ad, making an unimpressed-looking Lesa chuckle. Brooks admits she cringed, but she thinks Lesa is about to explode.
Lesa thinks this video aimed to “rile” her up. She tells Chanel to enjoy her ride with Stanbury but to be careful not to fall off. Chanel is over it.
Everything comes to a head, closing out RHODubai Season 2 on a negative note

Chanel approaches Lesa to talk in private. Lesa says no. A bothered Chanel walks away as her costars take notice. Taleen encourages Lesa to have that talk after all.
Lesa finally approaches, and Chanel speaks on what Taleen and Brooks noted earlier. Lesa tries to shut her down, saying they agreed not to discuss this. She then grows hot, saying this is the second time Chanel has thrown her under the bus with their cast.
Cue Lesa, ushering in her tit-for-tat era. In an earlier chat, Chanel allegedly told Lesa that Stanbury felt like Lesa was bragging about buying an estate in the Cotswolds. So Lesa called Stanbury out on these claims, but Stanbury denied using those words. Chanel agrees, telling Lesa she twisted this story.
“You used the word bragging,” Lesa adamantly stresses. In her confessional, Stanbury says she never said bragging. Chanel agrees.
As Chanel digs in, insisting she never used this word, Lesa’s top blows. “I swear on my children’s lives. May God strike them dead,” she yells, as I cringed. Chanel, however, does not back down, even when Lesa calls her a liar and says this will end their friendship.
Chanel finally explodes. Brooks laughs, saying, “Ladies and gentlemen. I am not the problem.” Lesa sobs as the credits roll on RHODubai Season 2. To date, Lesa and Chanel remain at odds.
The Real Housewives of Dubai Season 2 Reunion Part 1 airs next Tuesday, September 10, on Bravo at 9/8c.

Sam McKinney won the title of the ultimate villain on The Bachelorette Season 21. On night one, Sam made a strong impression on both leading lady Jenn Tran and viewers. Sam explained that he dreamed of becoming a husband and father, and even snagged Jenn’s first impression rose. At first, it seemed like Sam would be a real front-runner this season, which he was for a while. However, it didn’t take long for Sam’s true colors to start showing.
After his first date with Jenn, it became apparent that Sam had a lot of red flags. As the season continued, Sam’s behavior only got worse. In addition to messing with Jenn’s feelings, Sam consistently found himself in conflict with the rest of the men. Sam is not only the worst villain this season, but after his shenanigans, he is arguably one of the worst in Bachelorette history.
Sam McKinney displayed selfish tendencies during his one-on-one with Jenn
In New Zealand, Sam received a one-on-one date with Jenn, where things quickly went south. After Jenn arrived at the table, Sam wasn’t romantic and didn’t even move the chair for her to sit. Jenn was excited to be on her first date with him, but Sam quickly ruined the mood. Jenn explained that while she and Sam had a strong physical connection, she wasn’t sure how deep their emotional connection could go.
After someone jumped from the top of the tower where they were, Sam declared that they would jump as well. Jenn was scared of the jump and felt frustrated that Sam didn’t understand why she didn’t feel comfortable with it. Sam didn’t care as he was only thinking of himself and just wanted to jump to get an adrenaline rush. Once Jenn and Sam got to the top of the tower, he only worried about hanging off the building. He didn’t care that Jenn was terrified, and barely comforted her.
Sam McKinney said hurtful things to Jenn during the group date in Seattle
Sam managed to secure a rose from Jenn after his one-on-one and later made it to the top seven. Despite getting a second chance, Sam completely ruined his chances with Jenn during the group date in Seattle. During the radio group date, Jenn asked Sam a series of questions to try to see where he was at with their relationship. While no one expected him to do great, no one saw what was coming next.
For some reason, Sam thought it would be smart to start by saying that he hadn’t been falling in love with Jenn the entire time. While this is fine, it was a strange statement for Sam to make. Sam stuck his foot in his mouth even further when he proclaimed that upon seeing Jenn, he thought that she wasn’t his type. If that wasn’t bad enough, Sam went as far as saying that he was expecting either Daisy Kent or Maria Georgas to be the Bachelorette.
Sam’s behavior during the radio date was unacceptable, especially since his words were so hurtful to Jenn. The Daisy or Maria comment was particularly insensitive since Jenn faced a lot of negativity after she was announced as the Bachelorette. There aren’t many men in Bachelorette history who have chosen their words as poorly as Sam. All in all, this makes him a huge Bachelor Nation villain.
Sam couldn’t back up his words
After the radio date, Jenn felt that she needed more answers from Sam. Jenn decided to have a chat with Sam before the rose ceremony, which caught him off guard. When she sat down with Sam, Jenn asked for clarity on him spontaneously proclaiming that he loved her. Jenn felt confused by the whole ordeal, but Sam kept saying that he meant to say it. After the insensitive things Sam had said during the date, it was evident something didn’t add up.
When Jenn asked Sam why he loved her, he couldn’t come up with a concrete answer. Sam kept playing with words and began discussing irrelevant things like his love for his family and friends. Ultimately, Jenn decided she couldn’t take any more of Sam’s nonsense and sent him home. Sam made a bad impression on Jenn and viewers, especially after he couldn’t remember anything Jenn opened up about during their one-on-one. The Bachelorette has seen some troubling characters over the years, but Sam is one for the books.

Kyle Richards has been focused on her health and wellness and fitness is a big aspect of her regimen. In a newly uploaded photo, fans can see that the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star is looking strong, fit, and fab.
And it looks like losing weight is just part of Kyle’s fitness goals. She’s focusing on getting stronger, working out more, building muscle, and living well. And it looks like it’s paying off as Kyle is showing the fruits of labor.
Welcome to Kyle Richards’ gun show

In the latest mirror selfie Kyle shared on her Instagram stories, the Bravo star is sitting in her gym set up and showing off her lean stomach and the defined musculature of her arms. The weights are paying off as you can see the cuts in the muscles.
Building muscle seems to be the next part of Kyle’s fitness journey. In July, she celebrated two years of sobriety as part of her ongoing wellness commitment.
In a post on Instagram, the star shared that she was proud of having the willpower to stay on the sobriety path. When before she couldn’t imagine two weeks without alcohol, she’s now at two years and counting.
And keeping the alcohol away coupled with a structured workout regimen and healthy eating helped her achieve a slimmer and more toned figure.
“My mental and physical health became a lot more important to me,” she added. “I’m not going to lie… the fact that I looked better because I wasn’t drinking was also an incentive to not veer from the road I am on. But the real reward is how I feel inside. I feel strong, energetic, and grateful for my body.”
In addition to working out alone and staying away from alcohol, Kyle is also working out with friends. Teddi Mellencamp shared Instagram stories of her hiking and jogging with Kyle and another friend.

Alfonso Ribeiro is looking forward to another year of enjoying the ballroom, enjoying the dances, and cohosting Dancing with the Stars. He’s especially looking forward to doing it all alongside cohost and close friend Julianne Hough.
Alfonso participated in season 19 of DWTS with Witney Carson in 2014. He went on to win the competition and returned to cohost season 31 with Tyra Banks. Julianne took over hosting for Tyra in 2023 for season 32 and joined Alfonso. The two have become great friends.
“I can’t wait to tackle that stage with Julianne,” Afonso told US Weekly. “The both of us together — especially over the last year — we’ve gotten to be really close friends. And we enjoy working with each other,” he shared. “I think it’s going to be a magical season for both of us.”
Although winning the mirrorball trophy was a red-letter day for Alfonso, he’s quite happy to be firmly in his hosting era. Especially since that means he gets to come back every season.
“I like hosting because that job gets me to come back every year,” he explained. “Competing, you get one shot at it. I love this job. Becoming a host has been, truly, what I think I was destined to do from the beginning.”
Additionally, he said, “I think all the other jobs I’ve done in my life kind of led up to me becoming a host and allowing me to do that specific job.”
Alfonso said that he loves being part of the “highs and lows” and getting to “connect with the pros and the celebrities” throughout the competition.
All in all, the former star of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is excited about Season 33 and the upcoming cast reveals. He was thrilled with the first casting announcement — Olympic athlete and pommel horse specialist Stephen Nedoroscik.
“So excited to have him,” Alfonso shared. “Every year it’s always a great cast.”

Be advised, this article contains a video of Tamra Judge that some readers may find graphic. If you have dermatophobia or other fears related to skin conditions and treatment, this may not be the article for you.
Nevertheless, the Real Housewives of Orange County star felt just fine broadcasting some facial swelling to her Instagram followers. Everyone knows that reality stars tend to have work done. It’s all part of the entertainment industrial complex, pressuring stars to look their best.
So, there are certainly problems with the system. Nevertheless, fans tend to clown stars for their cosmetic work, especially when it’s noticeable. So, this time, Tamra decided to just confront her fans head-on.
Tamra Judge left barely able to open her eyes after facial surgery
On September 1, Tamra gave fans a very personal update. While folks know that reality stars engage in plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures, Tamra showcased an up-close look at the process. She took to Instagram, sharing a video just days after a recent procedure. “Day three and the swelling’s making a statement,” Tamra wrote in the caption.
“Progress isn’t always pretty, but it’s happening.” In the video itself, Tamra faced the camera and said, “Okay guys, this is day three. It’s supposed to be the worst of it when it comes to swelling.” Tamra’s voice was noticeably hoarse. “The swelling is from the CO2 laser,” she explained. She showed how the effects spread down to her chest as well.
“You can imagine what it feels like,” she added. Later, she broadcasted from bed at “the end of day three.” Tamra said she felt like her skin would “burst. You can see it’s getting oozy. I can barely open my eyes.” She also mentioned the tube in her throat, causing her pain. Nevertheless, this was all according to plan.
Since 2009, Teresa Giudice has been giving everything she has to the Real Housewives of New Jersey. The OG has shown every aspect of her life, including the birth of her fourth daughter and going to jail. Along the way, Teresa has put the Bravo franchise on the map thanks to her table-flipping antics. But love or hate her, you can’t deny that she has had that special spark in reality TV. At this point, I think she deserves a spot in the Smithsonian between Judy Garland’s ruby slippers and Julia Child’s actual kitchen.
Teresa Giudice’s best misquotes
If there is one thing I will never forget about Teresa, it is her hilarious quotes. Bravo recently gifted Trehuggers a montage of some of the OG’s best one-liners. The video started with Tre yelling, “I swear to God I’m gonna f*cking blow my casket, I really am!” But, in actuality, she meant to use the word gasket. The Season 3 reunion was a gift from the heavens. Teresa had several stumbling moments when it came to phrasing her attacks. Perhaps my favorite was when she tried to say uneducated, but it came out “Unducated.”
Who could forget Season 4, when all Teresa wanted to do was blast her former friend, Jacqueline Laurita? During a particularly funny confessional Tre quipped, “She’s looking sad, then another minute she’s attacking me, she’s like Hekyll and Jyde!” Clearly, Teresa was trying to conjure up the image of Jekyll and Hyde. Even Teresa’s advice to her daughters has been skewed as she once told Milania Giudice during Season 13 “There’s always a light at the end of the rainbow.”
I do not doubt that Teresa’s insult from Season 1 still haunts Danielle Staub. Tre lost control as she screamed, “Prostitution whore. You were f*cking engaged 19 times!” while flipping over a dinner table will forever live rent-free in fans’ minds. But perhaps one of my all-time favorite insults to come from Teresa was when she said, “I respect the elderly,” about Kim G. Teresa also had a perfect insult shortly before she chased Danielle around a New Jersey country club when she asked, “Is b*tch better?”
During an earlier reunion, Teresa found herself fighting once again with Melissa Gorga. As usual, Tre had felt personally victimized throughout the season. But when she was called out after Joe Giudice allegedly called Melissa “Raccoon face,” she quickly clapped back, saying, “He was talking about Kathy.” Oh, the sweet irony that was Teresa. Early Teresa was great, but perhaps the insult that stuck the most was the one aimed at Caroline Manzo when Tre wrote, “She’s as Italian as the Olive Garden.” Ouch!
Teresa Giudice’s best battles on RHONJ
I don’t think there is a person that Teresa hasn’t fought with. No one is off limits for the OG, who, in her mind, is always right. The first Off the Rails episode way back in Season 5 was a doozy. Tre was fighting Jacqueline after the two had tried to get their friendship back on track. The Las Vegas native asked to talk to Tre one-on-one, but the OG snapped, saying, “You don’t tell me what to do.” And the rest is history. Kathy Wakile was quite the foe for Tre over the year. It all started during the Christening of Melissa’s son when Kathy kindly escorted the children out of the ballroom.
Tre took offense and felt that her cousin was implying she was a bad mom for leaving them unattended. Kathy and Tre argued again on the cast trip, which left Kathy no other choice but to call her cousin “Coo-coo.” Teresa loved a good scrap, and while most of her fights were pointless, all of them were entertaining.
For 14 seasons, Tre has been the gift that keeps on giving. She has always been TV gold without having to try. Teresa has remained the same since day one, which is why so many fans can’t help but love her.
Stacy Snyder from Love Is Blind is both thrilled and nervous about sharing her new relationship status. The reality TV alum is very happy though and that’s what matters in the end.
It looks like she’s discovered more about herself since her stint on the reality dating show about finding love without seeing one another. Stacy joined Season 5 of the show which aired last year. She got engaged to Izzy Zapata after the pods, but called it off at the altar.
Now it looks like Stacy has found happiness elsewhere and made a bold statement about that fact to her friends and followers on social media.
She shared a video on her Instagram of herself at a wine bar with the background music of Charli XCX and Billie Eilish’s recent collab, Guess. In the clip, she’s looking around as if looking for someone. At the same time, she’s sharing snippets of rumors that have surfaced about her love life.
The text read, “She’s single again. She’s got a boyfriend. She’s irrelevant.”
And then, another woman enters the video to kiss Snyder. The clip ends with the text “She’s happy.”
“Surprise! #[rainbow emoji],” she captioned the video. It was a hard launch of her new relationship and of her discovering new parts of her, which wasn’t always easy to admit.
She later admitted in her stories that she was “scared s**tless” to come out as a part of the LGBTQIA+ community. But fortunately, despite a questionable comment here and there, fans have been kind and positive after her reveal.
According to her, the kindness left her speechless.
“I was fully expecting hate, a lot of it. I always get a lot of hate, and I’m like, ‘Is it the algorithm or it’s just like ‘Hate Stacy?’ But it was a really nice, a freaking nice change, so thank you.”
But of course, Stacy couldn’t escape a little snark from fans. One commenter asked, “Does she have good credit?” Welp.
