Real Housewives of New Jersey Teresa Gets Married Recap: Teresa Giudice Officiates Love Love Love With Luis Ruelas During Wedding Special

After a season full of family fighting and too much Irish whiskey, Real Housewives of New Jersey finally aired Teresa Giudice’s wedding special. The cheesy episode was all about Tre’s love love love with Luis Ruelas. I mean, they did pay more than half a million dollars on the big day, so they might as well get the most out of it by getting it all filmed for TV. But we probably could’ve done without the corny transition cards, Bravo.

Despite Tre’s desire for a day of love, the RHONJ drama was looming. It was mainly due to Joe Gorga skipping out on his only sibling’s wedding. The tension was so thick that it caused Tre’s dorters to channel their mother’s table-flipping rage whenever someone mentioned their uncle or Melissa Gorga. Not even Tre’s loyal soldier Jennifer Aydin was safe.

Even though there was a bit of drama, Tre’s wedding day was an event to remember. The performers, the food, the flowers — it was one of the most extravagant weddings we’ve seen on Bravo. Here are five of the main takeaways from the latest RHONJ episode “Teresa Gets Married.”

The apples don’t fall far from the Tre

Tre’s dorters got a fast class in Real Housewives training during the wedding special. They had their own confessionals and played a major role in the story, which is goofy considering we watched them grow up on TV. The wildest moment from the episodes centered around the dorters’ anger toward the Gorgas. Jennifer showed up on the wedding morning to bring Tre a gift. She apologized for her role in Joe not going to the wedding, considering she was the one who told Danielle Cabral the cheating rumor. The daughters overheard their uncle’s name being mentioned, and they all reacted in different but equally emotional ways.

Gabriella Giudice started sobbing about the conversation. “I don’t want to hear his name,” she cried. Gia Giudice got angry and protective over her sister getting upset. The voice she used honestly reminded me of when she used to get mad at Joe Giudice when she was little, which brought me back. Tre calmed everything down and the dorters even managed to weasel an apology out of Jennifer, which isn’t easy. “My daughters are very overprotective of me,” Tre explained. “Since Joe left we only have each other.” Let’s be clear that I feel for all the trauma these four girls have gone through so I totally get their pain. It’s just wild to see them as the focus of an RHONJ episode as adults rather than silly kids pulling jokes on the side.

Let’s talk about the weave in the room

A post shared by Bravo (@bravotv)

We all knew going into Tre’s wedding episode that hear Leaning Tower of Weave hairdo was going to be a major subject. Tre explained her inspiration for her hair was that Luis likes it out of her face and she wanted it to be big to stand up to the massive crown she’d be wearing. I wouldn’t think of a five-pound weave as being something easy, breezy, and out of your face, but Tre’s a different breed. They’re called Italian-American Jersey girls and we all can learn a lot from them.

Everyone’s reaction to the hair was as expected. Tre liked it, but nearly everyone else had to get over their shock. Gabriella was bold and called it a rat’s nest right in front of her mama. They could admit she was pretty enough to pull it off, but the $10,000 hairdo was a choice. “I’m a team player like, ‘Go Tre,'” Jennifer said in a confessional. “But hair is supposed to be an accent piece, not the main event.” Even Luis was shook by its height when Tre and her growing hair made it to the altar. “That’s what she wanted and that’s beautiful,” Luis said. Clearly, he didn’t have any idea of Tre’s glam plans for the big day, which makes her massive hairdo even more of a hilarious choice. She did pull it off masterfully though, like truly no one else could.

The Gorgas’ absence makes its presence

The Gorgas might have not shown up to the wedding, but the lack of their presence was a topic of conversation during the cocktail hour. Gia made it clear to Dolores Catania and Jennifer that she and her sisters were just as done with her uncle as their mom was. To Gia, Joe not attending the wedding was him burning the final bridge. Obviously, this was a huge disappointment to Dolores who has been friends with Tre for 38 years and watched her children grow up. “Life is not a f–king fairytale babe,” Jennifer told her friend. “There aren’t always happy endings.”

During the wedding when Tre had an outfit change, everyone’s phone went off with a notification about the Gorga nonsense. Joe and Melissa were making social media posts during the wedding to throw jabs at their sister. “I swear to god I’m going to f–king bury them so bad,” Luis angrily said when he saw the posts. “Her parents would go crazy if they saw how he’s behaving.” Honestly, it was going to be bad news whether the Gorgas showed up to the wedding or not, but it was really icky to watch how much their absence had an impact on Tre and her family.

Margaret’s final messy stunt of the season

Tre’s wedding was a literal love bubble because she only invited people who were supportive of her relationship. It probably helped that MelGo and Joe didn’t show up to burst that, but they had an ally in Margaret Josephs who sure tried. Marge showed up talking about how betrayed Joe and Melissa felt by Tre. Sure, she cried during the ceremony but admitted it was because she could only think about how Joe wasn’t there. Why does Pigtails love getting involved in other people’s drama so badly? Cringe doesn’t cut it.

Margaret tried to make a statement by leaving at the beginning of the reception. She claimed she couldn’t party and dance in celebration while Joe and Melissa weren’t in the room. Lame. Even Jackie Goldschneider called out her friend for making it about herself. “Today this is about Teresa, so maybe we could keep it all under wraps right now,” Dolores said. Amen. Marge didn’t get the memo. This night was about Chosen Family ONLY.

Teresa has mastered the celebrity wedding

I’d be remiss to recap Tre’s wedding without honoring its extravagance. Truly, I don’t think I’ve ever been so tempted by food on my TV as this event. Massive pieces of lobster. Freshly-sliced deli meats. Giant vats of macaroni and cheese. When people weren’t eating, they were entertained by burlesque dancers and people swallowing swords. Seriously, it was more over the top than even I could’ve imagined for Tre.

The guest list was just as impressive. Aside from RHONJ stars, Tre had all of the Bravolebs at her nuptials. Chanel Ayan was spotted inviting Dorinda Medley to Dubai before Tre walked down the aisle. Ashley Darby was probably making TikToks in the bathroom during the party. Alexia Nepola was there, and it’s jarring to see her and Tre in the same room since they’re basically the same person. Tre essentially had a wedding with my dream group of guests, and I will only live forever wishing I was on the list.

Real Housewives of New Jersey continues Tuesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.

Reality TV Divorce Curse: Real Housewives of New York Victims

If you are a member of the Real Housewives club, being married on the show is risky. The probability of your union ending in divorce is extremely high. And the Real Housewives of New York cast is a prime example. Did the so-called reality show divorce curse strike again?  Let’s take a moment of silence for all the marriages that ended up in Splitsville.

Luann de Lesseps and Count Alexandre de Lesseps

This split seemed to catch RHONY fans by surprise. After 16 years of marriage and two children together, Luann de Lesseps separated from Alexandre de Lesseps in 2009.  She discovered that he was cheating on her. A source said that Alex was in a relationship with a woman in Geneva, Switzerland.

Luann’s rep stated, “It is obviously a very difficult time for the countess and count, but they plan to remain friends and their primary focus will be to do what is best for their two children.” Luann and her husband were thought to be in an open marriage for years.

When Luann was sued by her ex-husband and her two children, it was not a good look. She received the Bridgehampton home in the divorce. Luann sold it and purchased a smaller home in Sag Harbor. The RHONY star was supposed to take half the funds from selling the home and set up a trust fund for her children, Victoria de Lesseps and Noel de Lesseps. But she did not do so. Oops! The lawsuit was later dropped. This family feud was the reason that Luann checked into rehab for the second time.

Ramona Singer and Mario Singer

Ramona Singer was never shy about how hot she was for her husband, Mario Singer. They even renewed their vows after 17 blissful years of marriage. Miss Turtle Time even told the owner of Hooters on his yacht how “hot” she and her hubby were for each other.

The RHONY “OG” was in for a shock. Ramona discovered that Mario was reportedly cheating with socialite Kasey Dexter. There were whispers that Mario even allegedly paid for Kasey to have an abortion. Ramona told Mario to leave and stay at their home in the Hamptons. But when Ramona paid a visit, she found Mario and Kasey together. Ramona called the police, but no charges were filed.

Ramona filed for divorce in January 2014. The couple, who share one daughter, Avery Singer, tried to work things out. But during the summer of 2014, Ramona knew that something was up. She asked Mario if he had seen Kasey again, but he denied it. Spoiler alert: he lied. Mario fessed up that he had seen her.

That was the final straw for Ramona. In 2016, Mario and Ramona finalized their divorce. But in 2020, during the Covid-19 pandemic, the duo quarantined together. And Ramona moved full speed ahead into the dating pool.

Bethenny Frankel and Jason Hoppy

Bethenny Frankel and her then-boyfriend, Jason Hoppy, put their love affair on display during Season 3 of RHONY. Jason popped the question after Bethenny found out that she was pregnant. They starred in the spinoff Bethenny Getting Married? The show continued on with the name change Bethenny Ever After. But their relationship did not. The Skinnygirl mogul filed for divorce in 2013.

Their split has to be one of the messiest, and longest, divorces in Bravo’s history. The former couple fought over finances, and the custody of their daughter, Bryn Hoppy. Bethenny and Jason’s divorce was finalized in July 2016.

In 2021, Bethenny became engaged to her boyfriend, Paul Bernon. After being put through the wringer with her divorce from Jason, she isn’t planning to walk down the aisle again.

Jules Wainstein and Michael Wainstein

Jules Wainstein and her husband, Michael Wainstein, appeared on Season 8 of RHONY. Jules was a one-season wonder. The couple, who shared two children, seemed like a happy family. They got married in 2008. Jules shared that she struggled with an eating disorder, but her co-stars weren’t very supportive.

But Jules’ marriage to Michael exploded spectacularly once the cameras stopped rolling. It was enough to make your head spin. In 2016, Michael filed for divorce from Jules. Jules alleged that Michael was cheating. Her husband’s rep denied the cheating allegations. And Michael blamed the show for the demise of their marriage. Of course!

Jules called the police because of an altercation in their home. In 2017, Michael allegedly refused to pay child support and instead decided to take some vacations. But don’t worry. Michael’s parents reportedly paid for his leisure time.

But in February 2020, their divorce took a disturbing turn. Jules allegedly attacked Michael in front of their children. She was arrested and charged with battery in Palm Beach County. Jules allegedly punched Michael during a “heated custody exchange.”

Michael wanted Jules to be drug tested, claiming that she was addicted to drugs. Finally, their divorce was settled in 2020 after a bitter four-year battle. Jules underwent drug testing and was eventually reunited with her kids.

Luann de Lesseps and Tom D’Agostino

Luann was bound and determined to make it down the aisle with Tom D’Agostino. Even though this man was a walking red flag. During Season 8 of RHONY, Bethenny showed photos of Tom playing tonsil hockey with another woman. Luann was able to get over Tom’s wandering ways, and they tied the knot on New Year’s Eve 2017 in Miami.

But Luann announced that she was pulling the plug on her 7-month-old marriage in August. “It’s with great sadness that Tom & I agreed to divorce. We care for each other very much, hope you respect our privacy during this sad time!” Luann tweeted. Before their split, cheating rumors followed the couple. And Luann reportedly slapped Tom in a restaurant. Although she denied striking him.

In 2017, Luann was arrested on Christmas Eve in Palm Beach. She was charged with disorderly intoxication, resisting arrest with violence and crimes against a person, and battery on an officer. She blamed her boozy arrest on her divorce from Tom. Her arrest prompted her first rehab visit.

The RHONY franchise was hit hard by the divorce curse. Just remember that the cameras will capture any crack in a relationship.

Charli Burnett Heard a Woman Signed a NDA To Sleep With Tom Sandoval

Now that the entire world knows Tom Sandoval is not only a liar but a filthy cheater as well, all of his tea is coming to light. And this time, the one spilling it is his Vanderpump Rules co-star Charli Burnett. 

Oof. Tom, Tom, Tom. I’m sure he’s had enough of the headlines and different interview bites, but what can I say? You started this. And now you have to sleep in the mess you’ve made. And thankfully, for all of us longtime Bravo fans, we get to watch it unfold right before our eyes. 

On the flip side, finding out that Sandoval supposedly cheated (again) is not a surprise for anyone that’s been keeping up. He cheated on Kristen Doute with Miami Girl, and then he had a months-long affair with his then girlfriend’s best friend. His ethics and moral compass have always been skewed, and expecting him to be honest, even for a moment, would indeed be too much to ask. I mean, talk about a modern-day Judas. 

And just when we thought we’d heard it all, Charli entered the chat.  

Tom allegedly made a woman sign an NDA to have sex with him

During Charli’s recent appearance on The Viall Files podcast, she went to town on Raquel Leviss and Scan Sandoval. The hottest tea, however, was that she heard around town that mister worm with a mustache made a woman sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) to have sex with him. 

“Someone came to me and said, ‘I was getting my hair done, and my hairdresser told me that one of their clients had to sign an NDA to f–k Tom Sandoval,’” she said. However, the reality star revealed she wasn’t sure what to do with the info. 

“I was like, ‘I don’t know what do with that information,’” she stated. “Again, I was naïve, and I was like, ‘Everyone makes up rumors. Everyone says things.’ Like, that’s so crazy to say to me. Like, you guys are trying to bring up gossip.”

Everyone makes up rumors, but at this rate, if they’re about Tom Sandoval, they’re likely to be true. 

Vanderpump Rules continues Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.

Top Five Most Dramatic Vanderpump Rules Fights

From Scandoval to Stassi Schroeder backhanding Kristen Doute, Vanderpump Rules fans have witnessed a fair share of memorable fights since the show premiered in 2013.

In honor of Vanderpump Rules celebrating 10 years on the air this year, here is a look back at some of the show’s most dramatic fights.

5. Jax & Frank Vegas Fight (Season 1)

Let’s set the scene. The SUR staff was in Vegas celebrating Stassi’s 24th birthday when her ex-boyfriend Jax Taylor showed up to crash the party. The birthday girl and her post-breakup fling Frank Herlihy weren’t too pleased to see Jax show up in Vegas and the two started yelling at the party crasher.

The fight turned physical after Tom Schwartz called Stassi a b****, which resulted in Stassi throwing a drink in Schwartz’s face. The fight escalated from there, with Jax and Tom Sandoval following Frank outside to try and fight Stassi’s latest fling. Jax ripped off his knit cardigan and rushed at Frank, who was trying to leave the scene in a taxi. Sandoval also took off his shirt. Kristen Doute said it best, “Testosterone levels through the roof.”

4. It’s Not About the Pasta (Season 6)

“It’s not about the pasta!” In Season 6, James Kennedy and Lala Kent got into a heated argument about James’s then-girlfriend Raquel Leviss.

The iconic fight started after Lala admitted to eating Raquel’s pasta on a night out. The confession apparently upset James, who spat back, “You’ve always been a b**** toward Raquel.” He then made a dig about Lala’s relationship with her then-boyfriend Randall Emmett.

Lala left the restaurant upset and James chased after her. The two continued their spat outside, where James uttered the iconic Vanderpump Rules line, “It’s not about the pasta.”

3. Stassi Backhands Kristen (Season 2)

The news of Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss’s affair took the internet by storm but longtime Vanderpump Rules fans remember that Scandoval isn’t the first time the cast has … mingled.

In Season 2, during a drunken night out, Katie Maloney let slip that Stassi’s close friend Kristen, who has dating Sandoval at the time, had slept with her ex-boyfriend Jax. Jax and Kristen initially denied having any physical involvement but Jax later came clean, telling Stassi he had slept with Kristen two times. Jax confronted Kristen and Sandoval about the supposed “rumor” in front of Stassi. Kristen continued to deny sleeping with Jax, which resulted in Stassi calling Kristen a liar and hitting her with the back of her hand. Ouch. Kristen later admitted to the rendezvous with Jax.

2. Sex, Lies, & Audiotape (Season 6)

“Rawt in hell.” In Season 6, Episode 5, chaos ensued after an audio recording had the whole cast up in arms. During the episode, Jax and Brittany Cartwright were in the midst of repairing their relationship after Jax cheated on Brittany with SUR employee Faith Stowers. Turns out, Faith recorded a conversation she had with Jax in which the reality TV bad boy said he would never marry Brittany and that he didn’t want kids.

Lala showed up to a house party with the audio and played it for Brittany. A visibly upset Brittany called out Jax in front of everyone at the party, telling him to “rot in hell” in her classic Southern accent.

The party then split into two groups with the boys comforting Jax and the girls comforting Brittany. The blowup stretched between two episodes and everyone got involved. Jax threw his phone, Tom yelled at Ariana Madix, Stassi screamed at James, and so on.

Tom & Ariana: “I Regret Ever Loving You” ( Season 10)

On the Season 10 finale, which aired on March 17, Vanderpump fans finally saw the aftermath of the Scandoval affair. News of the affair first broke in early March 2023 after Ariana found a screen recording of Tom and Raquel on FaceTime while she was attending an event at TomTom in West Hollywood. In the first scene of the finale, a heartbroken Ariana confronted Tom about his seventh-month affair with her friend, Raquel Leviss.

The ten-minute scene was intense and both Tom and Ariana got teary-eyed. At one point, Ariana told Tom, “I regret ever loving you.”

“I regret every moment that I stood up for you, defended you, supported you. You’re worth nothing,” she said in the drama-filled opener.

Marlo Hampton Slams Kandi Burruss: ‘Pay Attention to How She Looks at Everyone’

We know the Real Housewives of Atlanta has been a house divided for some time, and if you’ve been keeping up with the show, you already know that. 

The feud between Marlo Hampton and Kandi Burruss isn’t new to viewers. We’ve watched them go back and forth since Season 14 — where Marlo referred to Kandi as a “ho” and took several shots at her marriage to Todd Tucker. Not only that, but she also claimed Kandi (the international Grammy award-winning writer) was only known in Atlanta — essentially knocking her street cred. 

As most know, Kandi is stingy with her love, so hoping for a reunion between these two may be a bit of a stretch. However, based on Marlo’s recent comments on Watch What Happens Live, Kandi’s friendship isn’t high on her priority list either. 

Marlo thinks the cast protects Kandi

In late 2022, reports began to swirl, alleging that Kandi’s cousin, Melvin, was shot in the arm during a verbal altercation at one of her restaurants. In September, Kandi gave her fans an update regarding his health. 

“He’s getting through it, so since he’s okay, I’m okay. If he wouldn’t have been okay, I wouldn’t have been okay, you know what I mean?” Kandi said. “Obviously, he’s uncomfortable. But [the bullet] didn’t hit anything that won’t heal,” she continued. “He’s at home, he’s healing. He’s fine. I mean, he’s not fine but he’s [okay].” 

While filming for Season 15, Kandi and Todd have kept the shooting situation under wraps and cited legal concerns as their reason for not talking about it on camera. However, not all of the Housewives agree with her stance. 

In response to Andy Cohen asking Marlo if there were any sticky situations involving Kandi that cast members have been too scared to bring up, the Real Housewives fashionista stated, “Everything.” 

“It’s so much. It’s what Kandi wants to come up,” she continued. “If she doesn’t want it to come up, just pay attention to how she looks at everyone. Or how everyone is scared to say it or they get to mumbling,” she finished. 

The current cast does have quite a few newbies in the mix. From Sanya Richards-Ross to Drew Sidora, it makes sense why some of the new Housewives are afraid to ruffle Kandi’s feathers since she’s the longest-running Housewife in the franchise’s history. But as a viewer, I don’t care about Kandi’s status. I need to see her activated. And if the rookies can’t give us that, they can get the boot too. 

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

Tom Sandoval Does NOT Have a New Texas Influencer Girlfriend, Apparently

Thoughts and prayers are going out to Texas “influencer” Karlee Hale as she navigates through these trying times. Poor Karlee has been accused of dating Vanderpump Rules lothario Tom Sandoval.

Tom packed his OPI Alpine Snow and ran off to Texas amid the continued fallout of his affair with a girl who probably pronounces God like Jod. We all make bad choices at some point and we are smack dab in the middle of Sandoval’s. Unfortunately, he’s taking some people down with him.

After being photographed with an attractive blonde, internet sleuths sniffed out the woman who dared to hang out with Tom. It was assumed she was his new lady after Rachel Raquel Leviss allegedly dipped out of their relationship. Now Tom is firmly saying they’re “just friends.” TMZ has the details.

Sandoval has friends?

A rep for Tom (he has a rep?) wants everyone to quiet down on the speculation someone else has lowered their standards decided to date a cheater cheater pumpkin eater. After performing with his Venmo band in Austin, Tom and Karlee hung out in a group setting.

Previous media reports had Tom already boo’d up with this woman, bless her heart.

According to Tom’s camp, he and Karlee are “just friends.” That’s so sweet. I vaguely recall Tom was “just friends” with Ariana Madix when he was still with Kristen Doute. And golly, Tom and Raquel were “just friends” at the beginning of their sordid tryst as well.

Might be a good idea to issue a disclaimer for anyone attempting to be “just friends” with Tom going forward, it never really turns out very well for them. Karlee isn’t doing much “influencing” at this time as she has had to lock her social media down and go private. Oh noes!

The two have been spotted together multiple times at this point. Raquel remains out of sight but definitely not out of mind. Gee, I hope Tom isn’t being dishonest and using someone once again to put a veil on his relationship with Raquel. Where’s Tom Schwartz when you need him?

Get a good night’s sleep, my friends. Tomorrow is a big day. The Vanderpump Rules Season 10 reunion begins TOMORROW (Wednesday) at 9 pm/ET on Bravo.

Kim Kardashian on Motherhood: ‘There Are Nights I Cry Myself to Sleep’

Oh Kim Kardashian, this makes you relatable as a human being. Glad you could be honest about it, and hope you keep moving along in your journey of self-discovery. And maybe, post a pic (once in a while) of you without having washed your hair for days at a time (like some of the rest of us).

Kim of Hulu’s, The Kardashians recently sat down with Jay Shetty on his podcast, On Purpose and opened up about: the true joys and challenges of motherhood, taking care of someone, and phases in life. Keep going Kim!

This f’ing tornado

She said, “There are nights I cry myself to sleep. Like, holy s–t, this f–king tornado in my house. Like, what just happened?” Embrace the chaos Kim! In the end, it’s neither good nor bad, and it’s a testament to human strength in life.

It can be easy to forget that Kim is a single mom. She often paints this portrait of her life that everything might be perfect, and that’s never the case. We know you don’t look like that all the time for one! It’s good to see Kim try to let the walls down on the “madness” of it all.

Kim went on, “There is nothing that can prepare you. I don’t care how long you wait. I don’t care what you’re waiting for. You are never prepared.” And when a person steps into their own confidence and realizes that’s how life works, it can be cathartic, challenging, and blissful.

You can do it!

She talks of being proud of herself. Believe you can do it, don’t judge, and you can. Many people confuse the idea of doing the best they have ever done, and doing their best with the conditions in that moment. And that is when they start to judge – don’t even go there because we’re all in the same boat.

She described some nights as an “hour by hour” process, and she’s on the tip of something. Live in the moment by learning to take it one moment at a time and you will thrive, people! That’s the mindfulness part, and it’s not easy to make the change, but it’s so powerful.

As far as kids, they teach you “so much more about yourself” than one “could have ever anticipated.” Yes, with patience, grace, and understanding they can teach you everything you need to know about life. But even if someone doesn’t have a child, the same type of outlook can help a person through anything with love and happiness shining from within.

What else did Kim say? Give it a listen because she still tried to paint that rosy, I control my life/narrative idea. We get glimmers of her being candid or self-aware, but there’s so much further for her to go because she’s still scratching the surface of life.

Also, Jay doesn’t help matters. He’s a little heavy on the people pleasing (i.e., letting her honor her journey) rather than challenging her to keep improving. But in the end, much love to all people wherever and whoever they are.

Season 3 of The Kardashians is on it’s way via Hulu on May 25. Watch as Kim described it as “emotional and frustrating.”

Most Iconic Catchphrases From Real Housewives of Atlanta

The peaches from the Real Housewives of Atlanta have a rep for throwing shade and stirring up drama. All while creating some unforgettable catchphrases. Let’s take a look back at these memorable quotes from the RHOA cast.

Season 1: “Close Your Legs To Married Men.”

NeNe Leakes blasted her co-star Kim Zolciak during the first season reunion. Kim was dating the infamous Big Poppa. He was her sugar daddy, and he was married. An activated NeNe gave Kim some advice that Real Housewives fans will never forget. “Close your legs to married men!” NeNe shouted while pointing at her former friend. Kim was shocked by NeNe’s reaction.

During the first season of RHOA, Sheree Whitfield disagreed with her party planner Anthony. She hated his ideas for her independence party. Then she dissed his credentials. When Anthony yelled at Sheree for not respecting his time, she had the perfect response.  

“Who gonna check me, boo?” she remarked. The altercation almost turned physical, and Anthony had to be restrained. No one checked Sheree during that argument.

During Season 2, NeNe, Kim, and Sheree met up to talk about their differences. But it turned into a screaming argument in the restaurant. Kim stormed out, with Sheree and NeNe in pursuit. While outside, Sheree gave Kim’s wig a tug. Sheree didn’t plan to remove Kim’s wig. “I just wanted to shift it a little bit,” she explained.

Season 3: “Bloop!”

NeNe coined this phrase to punctuate when she was done speaking. It came in quite handy when she was squabbling with newbie Phaedra Parks. Phaedra insisted that she and NeNe knew each other since they both grew up in Athens, Georgia. But NeNe begged to differ and ended her thoughts with a triple, “Bloop!”

Season 3: “Fix It, Jesus.”

Phaedra was the epitome of Southern grace and manners when she first joined RHOA. Whenever there was an issue between her co-stars, Phaedra would utter her favorite saying. “Fix it, Jesus,” she would comment. Unfortunately, no one could fix some of the issues between these ladies.

Season 4: “I’m Very Rich, B*TCH!”

Sheree confronted NeNe about possibly taking some money out of Sheree’s pocket. She mentioned a business opportunity that Sheree had offered to NeNe. But Sheree found out that NeNe reached out to her contact and said that he could have paid Sheree less. So, that didn’t sit well with Sheree.

But NeNe was about to rub her recent stint on the Celebrity Apprentice in Sheree’s face. “I was running to the bank, sweetie,” NeNe stated. “I was depositing a Trump check. Donald Trump. I am very rich, b*tch.” Amen!

Season 5: “Gone With the Wind Fabulous.”

Newbies Kenya Moore and Porsha Williams were odds from the jump. But during the cast trip to Anguilla, Porsha called Kenya “ghetto.” Kenya told Porsha she was “a non-factor.” After they almost came to blows, NeNe removed Kenya from the situation. Then Kenya uttered that she was, “gone with the wind fabulous.” She even twirled away and then walked off.

Season 5: “Bye, Ashy!”

Porsha served us with a hilariously memorable quote. Kenya tried to convince Porsha to side with her against Phaedra. But Porsha wasn’t swayed. After Kenya called her some names, Porsha stormed out. “Bye, ashy!” Porsha exclaimed as she left a furious, and not well-moisturized, Kenya on the sidewalk.

That sounds like an ominous warning. During the Season 5 reunion, Phaedra and Kenya threw shade at each other over their rival booty workout videos. Kenya hit back, snapping her huge fan and telling Phaedra, “Don’t come for me unless I send for you.” Mic drop!

Season 6: “I Said What I Said.”

Kandi Burruss came for NeNe during the season 6 reunion. The singer pointed out that NeNe talked about Kandi’s mother, Mama Joyce. Kandi was furious because NeNe said that Kandi’s mom was in the gutter. But NeNe didn’t back down. “I said what I said,” she exclaimed.

Season 9: “The Lies! The Lies!”

While this statement could apply to any RHOA season, it went down at the Season 9 reunion. Everyone was stunned to learn who had started the rumor that Kandi and her husband, Todd Tucker, wanted to drug and sexually assault Porsha. Porsha may have been telling the streets, but Phaedra told Porsha. A shocked and furious Kandi yelled out, “The lies! The lies!” This was the end of Phaedra’s stint as a peach holder.

Season 14: “I’m a Four-Time Olympic Gold Medalist, Put Some Respect on My Name!”

Drew Sidora was upset that her invitation to Sanya Richards-Ross’ photo shoot was revoked. She initially declined Sanya’s invitation to a Jamaican cooking lesson at her house. When Drew decided to stop by, she brought the drama with her. When Drew called Sanya a “clout chaser,” it was a step too far. Sanya banged on the table and exclaimed, “I’m a four-time Olympic gold medalist, put some respect on my name!” 

Season 14: “B*tch, I’m Worldwide!”

Marlo Hampton decided to throw down with Kandi. She accused the Grammy winner of putting her mother before her husband. Then she claimed that Kandi was only “known in Atlanta.” Now, those are some fighting words. “Did she just say ‘I’m only known in Atlanta!?’ B*tch, I’m worldwide!” Kandi screamed.

Season 14: “I’m an Icon, You’re an Ex-Con.”

Marlo’s relaxing trip to the Blue Ridge Mountains was filled with drama. Kenya refused to speak with Marlo privately. That led to a drive-way argument that culminated in Kenya shading Marlo. “I’m an icon, you’re an ex-con,” she told the hostess. Marlo has never denied her past arrests.

Do any of the other Real Housewives franchises even come close to spawning so many catchphrases? I don’t think so. These Atlanta peaches reign supreme.

Jacqueline Laurita ‘Would Love’ Melissa Gorga To Leave Real Housewives of New Jersey

I would love for Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice to take a pause from Real Housewives of New Jersey. We all want things. But this is about RHONJ alum Jacqueline Laurita and her two cents.

On an episode of the Behind the Velvet Rope with David Yontef podcast, Jacqueline shared her thoughts on who should stay and who should go amid the never-ending conflict between Teresa and Melissa. I’ll give you one guess who Jacqueline wants off.

Jac is back on active duty

Jacqueline is clocking in after a recent reconciliation with Teresa and doing her civil duties. She said, “I would love to see Melissa and Joe [Gorga] off the show.” So she can get back in there? No, it’s so Tre can be her authentic self. “I would love to see Teresa being old Teresa when she’s not under all that stress and be the fun Teresa everyone fell in love with.”

Remind me of when Joe and Melissa forced Tre to commit crimes that might have given her “stress.” Jac believes being on the defensive because of her brother and SIL have made Teresa not so fun.

Thankfully, she crawled out of Tre’s backside long enough to reflect on the pros of Melissa leaving. “The fans love her [Teresa], she’s their money maker.” Jacqueline continued, “I would keep Teresa on and remove the brother, and let her be the old Teresa.” Well, the “old” Teresa went to jail. Jac also said she doesn’t think Melissa adds anything to the show. I appreciate an excellent suck-up, but this is too much.

“Teresa’s like a real character. She says funny things. She’s got all these kids. I just feel in a new marriage you would see the old fun Teresa if Melissa and Joe were gone.” Sure, Jan. Jacqueline also loathes Melissa’s lack of loyalty. “I hate how Melissa tries to say, ‘we did it for Teresa.’ You didn’t do it for Teresa because you were still behind the scenes talking sh-t about Teresa.”

Who’s gonna tell Jac to watch the season and see who is talking what sh-t? “You did it for the viewers to look at you as if you are loyal to Teresa but behind the scenes, you’re talking shit to Kathie [Wakile] to me,” she explained.

Again, how is this any different than Tre talking smack about her brother’s wife for the past 836 years? Jacqueline also said any chance Melissa can get to make Tre look bad, she takes it. Perhaps, but Tre doesn’t need anyone’s help making her look bad these days because she has Luis Ruelas for that.

Clearly, Jacqueline received her orders and she did her best to carry them out. Hopefully, she received more compensation than one of Teresa’s cookbooks for her efforts.

Real Housewives of New Jersey airs on Tuesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.

Andy Cohen ‘Worried’ About Kim Zolciak’s Money Spending Habits

Andy Cohen seems like one of the most reasonable men in the entertainment industry. With his experience in so many aspects of TV production and interviews, everything he says just sounds so smart and agreeable.

Well, his skills of reason have really proved themselves lately as Andy’s recounted on past conversations with Kim Zolciak. As everyone should be well aware at this point, it came out that Kim and her husband, Kroy Biermann, owed the IRS over $1 million in back taxes.

From that point on, it’s been a whirlwind for the former Real Housewives of Atlanta star and viewers. With a filing for divorce, a counter-filing, and all the drama that followed, it was only inevitable Andy would comment on the situation.

Andy knows Kim like a psychic

On his SiriusXM show, Andy Cohen Live, the long-beloved host said, “There are so many clips of me saying to Kim, ‘I am worried about the way you spend your money. He is not a football player, he is a retired football player.”

He claimed Kim wasn’t savvy enough to spend proportional to her savings, further emphasizing: “Kroy was a retired football player. They didn’t have the football player money coming in anymore.” Considering Kim reportedly lost $250,000 gambling before her divorce filing, Andy was clearly correct.

This is not the first time Andy touched on the Zolciak-Biermann situation. In a previous episode, he said, “[I] sent my condolences, because it’s a sad thing. They have kids, and that was just a couple that seemed very much in love … I was very surprised. That was not the news I ever expected to get. They were a couple that I thought they were in it for the long haul.” Andy’s empathy is something to admire considering how long he’s been interviewing some of the nastiest of people.

TELL US – DO YOU THINK ANDY IS GIVING HIMSELF TOO MUCH CREDIT? COULD ANYONE HAVE SEEN THE WRITING ON THE WALL? WHAT DO YOU THINK OF WHAT HE’S SAID TO KIM?

Lisa Vanderpump Doesn’t Want to ‘Pile On’ Tom Sandoval

Lisa Vanderpump revealed she has no plans to kick Tom Sandoval while he’s down — even if he deserves it. The Vanderpump Rules finale showed an unrelenting Vanderpump as she sat down with Tom to discuss his months-long affair with his partner, Ariana Madix’s best friend, Raquel Leviss.

Cast members, including Ariana, Scheana Shay, Katie Maloney, and James Kennedy, were vocal throughout the episode about their zero interest in remaining friends with either Sandoval or Leviss following the scandal. Consequently, fans are curious about what that means for the series moving forward since they were a massive part of this season’s biggest storyline.

Despite their fake apologies and attempts at reconciliation, the others aren’t buying it. Well, maybe one person. 

Lisa is hopeful for Tom’s future

In a new interview with E! News, Lisa said she refuses to give up on Tom despite his unforgivable mistake. 

“I didn’t take sides with Tom, I definitely condemned what he did,” she said. “You know, I can’t write him off as a person because he had an affair. The way he handled it, yes, of course.”  

Lisa’s support of Tom doesn’t come as a shock to those familiar with the show. She has received backlash for going too easy on Sandoval, and to her critics, she let their complaints roll off her back. “… can’t keep everybody happy all the time,” she said. 

However, pleasing her fans doesn’t seem to be her first priority in this situation. 

“That’s not what I’m not trying to do,” she explained. “I’m trying to tell the truth. Also, I feel like a mother to some of these children. So, when he’s been lambasted by the whole world, what am I going to do pile on? No, I’m going to try and have a modicum of — not empathy, I don’t have empathy — but a modicum of hope. Maybe for the future.”

Seeing Raquel and Tom on Season 11 of VPR is looking unlikely. But we’ve seen miracles happen on Bravo. 

“It’s going to be complicated,” Lisa shared. “But Vanderpump Rules has never been a fairy tale. Let’s be honest.”

Vanderpump Rules continues Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo. 

TELL US – WHAT DO YOU THINK OF LISA’S COMMENTS? IS SHE GOING TOO EASY ON TOM?
