Sold on SLC Episode 2 Recap: Potential Moles, a Mediation, and a Mouse

Photo Credit: Bronson Farr/Bravo

Sold on SLC is back with another high-stakes real estate showing via Episode 2. Last week, we met the agents of this series and their leader, Jennifer. Jennifer runs a tight ship. Therefore, when her spidey senses started tingling, telling her that Sarah might be poaching some of her agents for another brokerage, a sit-down, come-to-Jesus meeting between Jennifer and Sarah ensued.

Things are getting messy. Luckily for us, as Sold on SLC Episode 2: “Thou Shalt Broker Peace” proved, zero brake pedals are in sight.

What happened in Sold on SLC Episode 2?

This week, Matt and Tyna confront each other yet again. But this time, their argument takes place in a public setting. Being the boss lady that she is, Jennifer tries to intervene. However, this feud is multilayered, so only time will tell if Matt and Tyna can bury their house-hunting hatchets.

Across town, Sarah hosts an open house, but as expected, things here also quickly take a turn for the worse. But on a positive note, Kenny and Malaysia appear to have zero issues this week, minus their listings and bottom lines.

However, the agents hovering on the ready-to-trouble ramp must sort out their issues quickly. Otherwise, their futures at Presidio Real Estate Group might falter.

Picking up from where they last left us hanging, Chris offers Jennifer his genuine-sounding explanation. Chris is not encouraging any agent to leave her brokerage for his. Additionally, Chris now oversees all construction and investment aspects of his firm, so he is not recruiting anyone, as this is not his job.

Jennifer is visibly relieved. Yet, she remains uneasy about having Sarah on staff at her firm. Sarah, however, has no desire to leave Presidio. Instead, Sarah desires to work for an empowered female like Jennifer.

Across town, Tyna is getting ready for her day. Her partner BJ has officially moved in, and so far, all is well. Tyna laughs, labeling her first lesbian relationship as a common U-Haul-related stereotype within the LGBTQIA+ community. The hiring of a U-Haul brings these partners together quickly, she quips.

Likewise, Kenny notes that LGBTQIA+ relationships have this in common with the Mormon faith. In both camps, everyone rushes to settle down, this realtor concludes, finding common ground with Tyna like a supportive ally.

Matt and Kenny take their abs to a nearby creek for a cold plunge. These men have a solid friendship, but in his confessional, Kenny admits that Matt is the king of spreading information within this firm.

Sarah is hosting an open house. Kenny, Matt, and their families will all be present. Matt then fills Kenny in on his last conversation with Tyna, where Tyna accused him of spreading misinformation about her feelings on all things faith-related.

Matt desires peace, and he did nothing wrong, he states. But Tyna disagrees. She thinks that Matt has something brewing in his own life, and instead of dealing with his issues, Matt seems to be taking his frustrations out on her. Kenny finally chimes in, telling Matt that he has yet to see a bad side of Tyna, so yes, Matt needs to figure this mess out.

Sarah prays over her open house with a tear-filled choke. In her confessional, she reveals that eight years ago, she and her father were at the bank in Brazil, where gunmen surrounded their car. Sarah immediately began praying for their lives, and when the gunmen overheard, they reassured her that they were not going to hurt her. They still stole all of their personal belongings, but Sarah and her dad were able to walk away, and for her life, Sarah gives all of the credit to God.

Kenny does as well, he admits, wrapping up a Bible study with his family. He is a top producer, but as Jennifer stresses, Kenny should take a step away from moderately priced listings. This top producer is ready for the big leagues, so Jennifer gives him a listing valued at 3.5 million. Kenny is all in on this opportunity.

Tyna arrives and Matt calls her outside for a chat. Tyna is tired of hearing about his gossipy ways, but Matt presses her to let things go. Tyna pushes back, telling Matt that as a Black, non-mormon in Salt Lake City, her reputation means everything, so Matt needs to do more than sweep their issues under the rug.

But Matt doubles down, stressing that he did nothing wrong. “The bridge is burnt. You can drown in the water,” Tyna wisecracks in her confessional.

Malaysia lends Tyna her support, while Kenny does the same for Matt.

Jennifer has picked up five new listings, so she needs help. She brings Malaysia in on a stunning listing. Malaysia can already think of two buyers for this house.

Jennifer then asks Malaysia about the open house, so Malaysia fills her in about the fight between Matt and Tyna. Jennifer is frustrated. A mediation might need to happen.

Jennifer and Malaysia go to lunch, giggling and getting to know each other better over drinks. Malaysia is married to Alani Fua, a former NFL linebacker. For years, Alani was the breadwinner of their family, but now, Malaysia is ready to shine.

Then, Jennifer shares that she is not getting along with her twin sister. Her sister got engaged to her latest man within weeks and did not like that Jennifer had an opinion about this.

Malaysia left Presidio for a bit to work for a gal named Paige, who also used to work for Presidio. Within four months, Malaysia had returned to her original firm. Jennifer states that she and Paige are similar, and she wishes they were in a better place.

When Jennifer suggested mediation, she meant it. Matt and Tyna arrive at her house, making pleasantries as Jennifer offers them sweet treats for their mouths. Getting to the point, Jennifer asks them to hash things out.

Tyna goes first, telling Matt that he has made untrue assumptions about her faith. The LDS church is not for her, but she supports those who still attend. Therefore, Matt needs to zip it.

Matt offers zero apologies. Nor does he own up to gossiping about her to her best friend (and others), whom Tyna trusts to the hilt. All that Matt wants to do is move forward. Realizing that Matt will never fold, Tyna agrees to move forward as Matt reminds her to stop believing everything she hears.

Malaysia meets up with Paige, who immediately breaks the fourth wall. The producers are filming her from her bad side, she teases.

Earlier that day, Paige posted a listing from a deck, inserting sexual innuendo in her post. Malaysia loved it. Speaking of love, Paige wants to keep the fondness between herself and Jennifer, but Jennifer bitched her out once over the phone, high on surgical meds, so they might need to have a mediation of their own.

At long last, Kenny finally hosts his first multi-million dollar open house. He has a fourth baby on the way, so come on, commissions. Sadly, Kenny stumbles with his words, leaving Jennifer nervous about his capabilities.

Jennifer helps Kenny out, and then she encourages Kenny to pay attention to his buyers and their needs.

Tyna is throwing BJ a birthday party. She has invited everyone, minus Matt.

Kenny gives BJ her gifts: a Pride sash, a plastic hat, and a box containing a living, breathing, squirming little mouse. Gifted creatures are how Kenny shows his people that he cares. Thankfully, he also provided BJ with a see-through cage for her pet.

Bj will still pay him back, she jokes. Something about “a scary clown with a knife,” she suggests.

Malaysia arrives with Patron. Her gift wins. Sorry, Fievel.

Gathering outside, the agents ask about Jennifer’s open house with Malaysia. Malaysia already has a buyer in mind, but this client belongs to Paige. Paige will get a cut, so Jennifer loathes this intel.

Kenny immediately starts questioning everything. Later, Malaysia pulls Kenny aside, asking why he has so many inquiries. Kenny explains that he supports Jennifer first and foremost, and speaking of the non-devil, there Jennifer is.

Using this opportunity to show off his loyalties, Kenny points out how Jennifer would have liked a heads-up that Paige was involved in this transaction. Malaysia (aided by flashbacks) explains that she did tell Jennifer. However, Malaysia fumbles over her words, calling Paige her team leader while revealing that she still has other contracts with Paige that she needs to close out.

Inside, Tyna and BJ hysterically suggest what this fight entails. BJ jokes that the rat gift is their issue. Tyna concurs.

And just like that, Sold on SLC Episode 2 wraps, leaving Malaysia and Jennifer at odds.

Sold on SLC continues every Wednesday on Bravo at 9/8c.

Dua Lipa turned heads at the PUMA Speedcat Launch Celebration as she hid her teeny tiny dress under an oversized jacket. While taking over cities with her “Radical Optimism Tour,” she has also been keeping her ambassador duties in check. At the sports brand’s recent launch event, Lipa was dressed for the occasion as she rocked a stunning Puma ensemble. Moreover, the singer continued to add a racy twist as she put on a leggy display.

Dua Lipa gave sporty dressing a chic twist for her attendance at the PUMA Speedcat Launch Celebration in Milan, Italy. The 29-year-old arrived at the event dressed in the brand’s oversized jacket, which she wore above a mini dress. The super short and body-fitted black piece is made out of a textured fabric featuring an animal print panel on the edge, which peeked through the open zip. 

Furthermore, Lipa paired the look with black sheer tights and Puma sneakers. While the singer’s dazzling choice of accessories was hidden beneath the oversized jacket, it certainly didn’t go unnoticed. Lipa wore two layers of chunky gold and silver necklaces. Meanwhile, she rocked her signature glam and wore her dark tresses down in playful waves. 

Dua Lipa, who recently starred in the new campaign for Puma’s Speedcat collection, has been making fans swoon with her sizzling looks. Last month, the musician shared a series of photos and snippets from her Nevada shoot for the brand. Lipa mesmerized fans as she pulled off bold all-black PUMA racing-inspired gear for the campaign. Meanwhile, the shoot saw the artist posing in a desert and on top of a red classic car. Puma noted that Lipa’s “Speedcat-fueled adventure reflects a spirit of freedom, unpredictability, and bold exploration, breaking boundaries at every turn.”

Emily Ratajkowski Is Not Letting Go of Plunging Necklines Anytime Soon

Emily Ratajkowski is well-known for her risqué fits, and she did it yet again at the PUMA Speedcat Launch Celebration by showing up in a bold top with a plunging neckline. Moreover, she arrived at the venue in an edgy leather coat that left the plunging neckline in full display, making the look fall-friendly while also retaining the racy touch that the star tends to go for.

On December 10, Emily Ratajkowski had heads turning on the red carpet as she sizzled in an all-black ensemble with a dramatic plunging neckline. The model almost bared it all by going braless under the risqué top, which she paired with a matching pair of pants. The halter neck top also featured a band going around her torso right under her bust to hold the straps in place.

Notably, the plunging neckline dipped all the way to her belly button, making the fit completely backless. Emily Ratajkowski paired the racy look with PUMA footwear, making it more fitting for the Speedcat Launch Celebration event. To make the outfit more appropriate for the cozy season, she layered a chic leather coat on top, making sure she did justice to the plunging neckline by leaving the coat loosely tied to allow some skin to show through.

She accessorized the all-black outfit with a statement neckpiece and tiny chunky hoops. Ratajkowski also carried a chocolate brown handbag that paired well with her ensemble. The actor kept her beauty choices minimal, parting her dark hair down the middle as she left it loose. In addition, she opted for pink blush and a glossy nude lip shade to add some color to her face, finishing the makeup look with a thin winged liner.

Ratajkowski has time and again gone for a plunging neckline to flaunt her curves on the red carpet. She was last spotted at the Loewe Paris Womenswear Spring-Summer 2025 show in an unbuttoned shirt to create a plunging neckline. However, the model went for a more dramatic look for the Venice International Film Festival 2024, sporting a gorgeous green gown with a deep V-neck.

Real Housewives of New York Season 15, Episode 11 Recap: Resorting to Madness

Photo Credit: Ardiel Jiminez/Bravo via Getty Images

The Real Housewives of New York cast traveled to Puerto Rico in the Tuesday, December 10 episode. The episode had all the elements of a successful RHONY girls’ trip. They fought over room assignments, sipped on cocktails, and a major argument broke out during dinner. What more could you ask for?

If you missed the chaos, I’ll bring you up to speed. Here’s your recap for Real Housewives of New York Season 15, Episode 11 called, “Resorting to Madness.”

What happened on Real Housewives of New York Season 15, Episode 11?

It’s time for the first girls’ trip of the season! The women said goodbye to New York and headed to Puerto Rico. I’m pleased to report it was a good episode. Erin and Ubah made amends, Jessel lost her suitcase, and Brynn and Rebecca went head-to-head.

Keep reading for a more detailed recap of tonight’s episode.

The women board a plane to Puerto Rico on Real Housewives of New York

Episode 11 kicked off with the women boarding a plane to Puerto Rico. There is still some tension between Erin and Ubah, who have yet to have a conversation about the gaslighting allegations at the picnic party. Erin wants to squash the beef immediately. In a confessional, she says she doesn’t want an “Anguilla 2.0” situation. Oh God, same. I don’t need another Phonegate thing. Ubah (surprisingly) seems down to bury the hatchet. However, she hasn’t totally forgiven Erin, which is not surprising given how Ubah has operated this season.

The RHONY cast freaks out over room assignments

In typical RHONY fashion, there is drama over room assignments. Shoutout to Luann’s meltdown over the fish room. I miss her so much! There are six bedrooms, which means four women will need to share. Jenna and Racquel agree to share the primary bedroom. Hmm. I can’t help but think about Jenna’s hall pass comment from a few episodes ago… We’ll see.

Unfortunately, the other women aren’t as willing to share. Sai volunteers to share but everyone else is set on having their own space. Brynn says she’ll take “the sh*ttiest room” if she doesn’t have to share. The group is satisfied with this compromise. Rebecca doesn’t want to share but Brynn nominates her to be Sai’s roommate. Brynn’s hatred for Rebecca is so perplexing to me. She’s been nothing but chill and nice. Erin tells Rebecca to stand up for herself, but Rebecca doesn’t want to give Brynn the reaction she is hoping for.

The room drama continues on Real Housewives of New York

The women arrive at the house and are greeted by Marieliz, the house manager, and Eli, the bartender, who welcomes them with cocktails. Moments before their arrival, we hear Eli and Marieliz talking about how they’ve never watched the show, but they know it’s about “women with money,” (LOL). If there is one thing the RHONY reboot is going to do it’s break the fourth wall. They are OBSESSED with doing that.

Once they get inside, the room scramble begins. The women (excluding Ubah) run around the house to find the best room. Shades of Ramona Singer and Sonja Morgan linger in the air. Brynn backtracks on her promise and decides to leave Ubah with “the sh*ttiest room.” Ubah is chilling outside and seems completely unbothered by the room assignments. When she first hears about Brynn breaking her promise she doesn’t care. She tells the women she is just happy to be here with them. But then she sees the room and has a meltdown. She refuses to stay in the room and threatens to go to a hotel. So dramatic! It’s not a bad room by any means. It’s just a little small. Sai plays peacekeeper by offering to take the room and Erin agrees to room with Rebecca, so Ubah can have a better room. I wish they didn’t cave so easily. Ubah was giving Ramona vibes in this scene. Not cute.

Brynn and Rebecca’s feud reaches a new level

Brynn enters Jenna and Racquel’s room. The vibes are fun until Rebecca appears and Brynn’s demeanor completely changes. Damn, she really does hate her. She asks Rebecca if she is ok with sharing a room. Rebecca says she’s not but is willing to be the bigger person. She explains that she wants her own room because her bed is constantly filled with children at home. When Brynn pushes back Rebecca responds by saying she’ll understand when she has kids. Yikes. Not good. Brynn wants a family and Rebecca knows that. The comment sets her off. Brynn starts lamenting about how she is “extraordinarily busy” so she understands needing time alone. It’s honestly a good scene. It feels like the most authentic moment of tension we’ve had all season.

Ubah and Erin clear the air on Real Housewives of New York

Meanwhile, Jessel is searching for her missing suitcase. We find out Brynn hid her suitcase to mess with her. OH MY GOD! ENOUGH WITH THE PRANKS! I really need them to stop this. They aren’t even good pranks. Brynn eventually tells her where her suitcase is and this storyline goes nowhere. What was the point of that?

Erin and Ubah finally have a conversation. They agree to disagree when it comes to whether Erin is a gaslighter or not but overall, the conversation is productive and they come to a resolution. Ubah says she was hurt that Erin didn’t come to her when she was upset by the comment. She had to hear about it from Brynn. Erin apologizes and the two agree to move forward.

Later on, Ubah tells the other women about her conversation with Erin. She repeats what she said outside, telling the women she does think Erin gaslights people but she’s happy to move forward and be friends. Brynn runs off and tells Erin that the women are sh*t talking her downstairs. It couldn’t be further from the truth. Brynn, you potstirrer! Erin goes downstairs to confront the women. Erin relays what Brynn said and asks if anyone else thinks she is a gaslighter. Sai raises her hand and says she thinks Erin does tend to gaslight. She brings up the pregnancy prank, which really sets Erin off. She yells, “AM I IN LOONEYVILLE?” and runs out of the room. It’s a crazy moment.

Rebecca calls Brynn a bully on Real Housewives of New York

Five minutes later, Erin isn’t mad anymore and they are all chillin’ in the pool. Haha, classic Housewives. Rebecca talks to Erin, Jenna, and Jessel about her awkward moment with Brynn. The women encourage Rebecca to stand up to Brynn. Jenna asks what would need to happen for her to fight back. Rebecca says it’s not a matter of what it’s when. Oooh, okay, Rebecca!

Meanwhile, Brynn is venting to Racquel, Ubah, and Sai about Rebecca’s comment. None of them say anything because none of them agree with her. I’m Team Rebecca on this one. She wasn’t saying Brynn isn’t as busy as her. It is true that you have less alone time when you have children. I don’t understand why that is so hard for Brynn to acknowledge.

The Rebecca/Brynn feud comes to a head at dinner when Brynn once again brings up Rebecca’s comment. The Fashion Maven keeps her cool but points out that Brynn has made several rude comments about her. Brynn makes a series of nonsensical points in this scene. Erin tries to explain that when you have children it’s hard to get a good night’s rest because children are constantly coming into your bedroom. Brynn claims to understand this struggle because Russian billionaires call her in the night. What? Yeah, this is not her best moment. The episode ends with Rebecca calling Brynn a bully. Yikes…I guess we’ll have to wait until next week to see how this ends.

I actually enjoyed this episode of RHONY. I was invested in the Brynn and Rebecca drama. It was one of the few storylines this season that felt authentic.

Real Housewives of New York airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.

Jennifer Lopez is seemingly redefining her kitchen wardrobe. In a new social media update, the singer normalized wearing cutout dresses in the kitchen. Lopez took to Instagram to share snaps of her making a midnight snack in a black shimmery backless dress that features risqué cutouts around her torso. Alongside the photos, the star also modeled a stylish walk, ringing in the Christmas spirit with the dress and matching accessories. 

Jennifer Lopez’s idea of cooking attire may not be for everyone

A post shared by Jennifer Lopez (@jlo)

Jennifer Lopez surely knows how to make the weekend count. On Sunday, the singer shared photos of herself in a black cutout dress preparing food in the kitchen. She captioned it saying, “MY FAVORITE PART about going out is coming home for the midnight snack.” Lopez shared multiple pictures of her serving full glam in the kitchen and gave a glimpse of her Christmas decorations. 

Celebrity stylists Mariel Haenn and Rob Zangardi assembled Lopez’s dress from MÔNOT. The outfit featured a halter neckline and a cutout around the torso. The black sequin dress was entirely backless and had a high slit in the bottom. Hairstylist Jesus Guerrero styled the singer’s hair in loose waves. Meanwhile, celebrity makeup artist Scott Barnes matched the glam with the glitter in the outfit. Lopez paired the ensemble with a black clutch, open-toe heels, and silver drop earrings. 

Before sharing the photos of her dress, Lopez uploaded a video of her strutting in the sultry outfit. She walked in style and turned to reveal the outfit’s backless detail. This confident catwalk was accompanied by background audio of Brandon O’Neal’s “Believe in Yourself.” The video ended with Lopez displaying a cheeky smile. As of now, both the video and the photos have received over 600K likes, with fans going gaga over her dress and makeup. 

Jennifer Lopez is unstoppable when it comes to glam, as evidenced by her looks in the past few weeks. Last week, she attended the 2024 IndieWire Awards in a glittery silver gown with long sleeves and silver earrings. It is safe to say that when it comes to style with confidence, the singer never fails to serve.

Ariana Grande Has Felt Like a ‘Specimen in a Petri-Dish’ Since 17

Photo Credit: @arianagrande / Instagram

Ariana Grande has recently revealed how she does not “invite” criticisms about her looks. The singer-actor also opened up about how she copes with the pressure of society’s beauty standards. Cynthia Erivo and Grande, the lead stars of “Wicked,” sat down for a candid interview with Sally, a French content creator and journalist.

During the heartfelt new episode of “Oui Oui Baguette,” Grande noted she has been in the public eye like “a specimen in a petri dish” since she was young. The 31-year-old shared she has faced all kinds of criticism and said, “I’ve heard every version of it, of what’s wrong with me. And then you fix it, and then it’s wrong for different reasons.” 

Ariana Grande feels society always finds reasons to comment on people’s looks

Ariana Grande shared it is hard to protect oneself from all the “noise” when they are young. People talk about their appearance, among other things. The singer noted the judgment doesn’t stop there. Even at gatherings like Thanksgiving, there would be someone to point out if a person had gotten skinnier or heavier. Grande added, “That is something that is uncomfortable and horrible no matter where it’s happening, no matter the scale it’s happening on.” 

Grande continued to highlight that today’s society has the “comfortability” to comment on other people’s looks and appearances. They even speculate what is going on “behind the scenes, or health,” or how an artist presents themselves. Grande said, “I think it’s dangerous for all parties involved.” Following that, she shared how she is “really lucky” to have her “support system.” Grande added she trusts that she is “beautiful,” but she knows “what the pressure of that noise feels like.” 

Ariana Grande continued that criticism and judgments have been a “resident” in her life since she was 17. However, she added, “I just don’t invite it in anymore.” The actor continued, “It’s not welcome. I have work to do, I have a life to live, I have friends to love on, I have so much love, and it’s not invited. So I don’t leave space for it anymore.” 

Grande then noted the ways to protect oneself from the “noise.” The singer said, “Whether it’s at a family reunion or online, you got to block people. I don’t care if you have to delete the app entirely, you keep yourself safe, because no one has the right to say s—.”

Here’s Why Sister Wives’ Janelle Brown Doesn’t Want Kody at Family Gatherings

Photo Credit: Dia Dipasupil/Getty Images

It shouldn’t surprise Kody Brown that he is no longer being included in family gatherings hosted by Janelle Brown. Arguably the duo once had the strongest marriage out of all the Sister Wives, but after Janelle’s patience finally wore thin, she lost all ability to give a damn about the polygamous patriarch. Now she is making sure to keep her loved ones far from the frantic reach of Kody.

Kody Brown wasn’t welcome at his daughter’s party

The most recent episode of Sister Wives showed the family, minus Kody and Robyn Brown, celebrating Savanah Brown’s graduation from high school. In years past, the Brown family would host elaborate parties complete with a musical dance number that definitely embarrassed the kids. This time around, it was a bit smaller as the family had splintered off into separate sects. Savanah was surrounded by those who loved her, including Christine Brown and many of her older siblings. Noticeably missing was the father of 18.  

For years, Kody has been self-sabotaging his relationships. In Kody’s mind, he believed he would have been extended an invite but then asked to leave his fourth and favorite wife at home. The delusion ran deep with this one, as that was far from the truth. For years, Sister Wives viewers have watched as Kody alienated many of his older children, who now choose not to speak with the patriarch. TLC cameras caught the extended family having a great time while Kody babbled about how unfair the entire situation was in his private confessional. But even amid his anger, he still didn’t take a moment to wish his daughter a hearty congratulations. 

Janelle Brown spills some hard truths

The mother of six didn’t think twice about not inviting her ex-husband to the gathering for their 18-year-old daughter. Janelle revealed that “Kody is alienated from 90 to 95 percent of his children. He is not really wanted at events. He is not coming regardless of who he brings or doesn’t bring with him.” But Kody loves to rewrite history. The comment seemingly ended Kody’s idea that he would be invited places, but Robyn would be left out. It turns out it isn’t all about Robyn. Janelle added, “Kody has this idea that somehow if he leaves Robyn home, he’s going to be able to come to these family gatherings. And that’s so far from the truth.”

During the episode, I had to question if Kody didn’t understand the ramifications of his actions. In his own confessional, he opened up, sharing, ​“I’d like to be a part of Savanah’s life, but it’s like they’re in this collusion that seems to hate Robyn, and I don’t know why other than, well, they’re jealous,” he said. “I’ve got this whole other side of the family that have decided that they’re still a family and we’re out. Now, they’ll let me in that club as long as I leave Robyn behind. I can’t do that.” As a viewer, it feels like Kody enjoys the turmoil because, in his mind, it makes him the victim. 

Kody Brown has a long history of alienating his family 

Even though social media proves that Kody attended Savanah’s graduation, his attempt has not repaired their relationship. During the same episode, Sister Wives fans saw a side to Kody that his four wives often spoke about. While discussing the Coyote Pass drama, he noted Janelle “would screw me if she could.” The comment didn’t sit well with viewers. But the polygamous patriarch went even further, noting, “She doesn’t trust me because she would screw me if she could. That’s what I believe. Okay, And I’ll be honest, I’ve thought about screwing her. Okay, so I’m being honest.”

It’s no wonder Janelle didn’t want Kody at any of her family gatherings. Kody has never been a safe place for her or the children. And his immature comments goes to prove the hypothesis. Kody has been secretive about a lot of stuff, including Coyote Pass. The wives finally learned Kody had a lot to gain from the sale since he was on all four of the plots. Janelle is creating boundaries in an attempt to protect herself and her children from a madman’s plan to hold onto any control.  

Sister Wives is streaming on TLC GO.

90 Day: The Last Resort Season 2 Premiere’s Most Shocking Revelations

90 Day: The Last Resort Season 2 has officially kicked off. Season 2 features six 90 Day Fiancé couples from all different spin-offs and backgrounds. The one thing that these couples do have in common, however, is their relationship problems. These couples have struggled with everything from financial and trust issues to infidelity. They have three weeks to try to save their relationships by participating in various kinds of therapy. At the end of the three weeks, the couples will decide whether or not to stay together during the Recommitment Ceremony.

The Season 2 premiere revealed shocking information about many of the couples. While some of these revelations were expected, others came out of left field. These four were by far the most surprising bombshells of the night. 

Ariela Weinberg moved to Ethiopia to get away from Biniyam Shibre

So far, Ariela Weinberg and Biniyam Shibre seem to be the most strained couple at the resort. During the premiere, Ariela revealed that their relationship fell apart after moving to America. She explained that she had evidence of Biniyam cheating on her with another woman, which was a shock of its own. The real surprise, however, was where Ariela went to get some space from her husband.

Instead of moving elsewhere in the US, Ariela took her and Biniyam’s son Aviel to Ethiopia. This was surprising, as Ariela only lived in Ethiopia while Biniyam was there. Ariela’s family is in the US as well, so, interestingly, she chose to go be with Biniyam’s family instead. Biniyam didn’t have any part in this trip and remained in Las Vegas while his wife and son traveled to his home country.

Another bombshell moment from the premiere involved Stacey Silva and Florian Sukaj. Stacey revealed that she and Florian were having a lot of issues, especially with trust. A year before The Last Resort was filmed, Stacey had been very ill. She hoped that Florian would be by her side throughout her recovery but was disheartened to find him more focused on partying. 

Shortly before going to Arizona for filming, Stacey caught Florian coming home with make-up on his shirt. This implies that he was dancing with another woman, while he was out partying in Miami without Stacey. Florian denied that it meant anything serious and claimed it was just from a random drunk girl trying to hug him. Hopefully, Stacey and Florian can use the retreat to work through these issues once and for all. 

Josh Weinstein slid into Sophie Sierra’s DMs

Josh Weinstein came to the retreat with Natalie Mordovtseva but already seems to have a case of wandering eyes. During the Happy Hour meet-up, Sophie Sierra told some of her fellow cast members that Josh had DM’d her on Instagram. Josh allegedly sent Sophie heart-eye and fire emojis after sliding up on pictures she took at the gym. After that, he even went as far as inviting Sophie to Las Vegas! This was crossing a line, as Sophie is married to Rob Warne. 

The most shocking thing about this reveal is that Josh and Rob are actually close friends. It didn’t seem like the two knew each other before filming, so the retreat is likely where they met. The men post content together on social media regularly, along with Jamal Menzies. It will be interesting to see how Josh’s flirting with Rob’s wife turns into the men becoming friends.

Brandon Gibbs and Julia Trubkina are no longer on the same page about having kids

Brandon Gibbs and Julia Trubkina were one of the more surprising couples to join the Season 2 cast. These two always seemed to get along well and never had too many issues. During the premiere, however, Brandon admitted what had brought them to the retreat. While Brandon was ready to have kids, Julia claimed that she no longer wanted them. This was a shock for Brandon, as Julia had initially told him she wanted a family.

Kids are a pretty big topic that needs to be agreed on in any romantic relationship. Understandably, Brandon feels blindsided, especially after Julia initially agreed to have kids. On the other hand, however, it’s also understandable that Julia may have changed her mind. She didn’t reveal her reasoning but there’s a good chance it’s valid. This is an important issue to solve, so hopefully the therapists can help Brandon and Julia get back on track.

90 Day: The Last Resort continues Mondays at 8/7c on TLC.

Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie raised the temperature in corpcore fits for their Glamour Magazine cover shoot. The duo took power dressing to a whole new level in chic ensembles, which they paired with eye-catching jewelry pieces. They also rocked some vibrant gowns for one of the looks, incorporating floral elements with a mix of fabrics and patterns.

For their latest Glamour Magazine cover, Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie went for a corporate set-up, looking fabulous in corpcore outfits. While Hilton opted for a Jacquemus top and skirt combo, Richie stunned in a Ferragamo jacket and skirt. The “House of Wax” star accessorized with Wempe earrings and necklace and Saint Laurent peep-toe heels, with her friend matching her energy in Jimmy Choo pointed-toe heels and jewelry pieces from Chopard, Boucheron, and Wempe.

Hilton and Richie didn’t stop at that as they made it more eclectic with two vibrant Ronald Van der Kemp dresses. The DJ-singer kept her bling minimal for this look and paired her colorful number with a pair of Chopard earrings, with Richie pairing hers with pieces from Graff, House of Harlow, and Boucheron. However, their most fun look has to be the one with the Marc Jacobs top-skirt combo and dress. The oversized ensembles with structured shoulders had a quirky look, with the duo pairing them with some dramatic earrings.

In the Glamour Magazine interview, Hilton and Richie touched upon the Y2K style resurgence and the influence they had on the same. While they can’t agree with all the interpretations of early 2000s style, they couldn’t deny that it was the “most fun time in fashion.” Moreover, Hilton revealed that she still has several pieces from that era in her wardrobe. Commenting on her style back then, she said, “It was so out there and so extra.”
