Gretchen Rossi Sued By Citibank Over Unpaid Credit Card Bill!
Is there another Real Housewives bankruptcy in the cards, or is Gretchen Rossi just not paying her bills? The former Real Housewives Of Orange County star has been sued by Citibank for an unpaid balance of $9,433.56.
Does Gretchen really not have $9k? Well, I guess she is supporting Slave Smiley – allegedly – so maybe not?! Apparently, Gretchen has defaulted on credit card payments going back to 2017, which is the last time she cut a check to Citibank and they’re tired of waiting for their money.
Gretchen opened the card in 2014 and was making payments until last year when for whatever reason she stopped. Did her RHOC paychecks dry up? I mean, she still must be getting royalties, right… Anyway, Citibank filed suit on July 3rd.
The Blast reports that Citibank is seeking the $9k they’re owed without requesting additional interest or fees. That’s a pretty good deal, Gretchen! If she doesn’t have the cash, maybe she and Slade could finally get married and get someone to film that wedding for a quick cash infusion!
Slade Smiley Claims He Was Asked To Be The Bachelor But Bravo Made Him Turn It Down!
TELL US – DO YOU THINK GRETCHEN IS BROKE? OR WAS IT A MISUNDERSTANDING?

Luann de Lesseps Returns To Rehab; Friends Say Lawsuit From Family Was The “Catalyst”
Despite celebrating six months of sobriety earlier this month, Luann de Lesseps has decided to check back into rehab.
Friends and sources say that the lawsuit from her ex-husband and children over a violation of her divorce agreement pushed Luann over the edge. Luann will also miss the Real Housewives Of New York reunion filming to remain in treatment. Priorities, from a housewife? Now I really am shocked!
Luann, who is apparently no longer working with a publicist, dispatched Bethenny Frankel to make an official statement about her decision to seek help again. “This weekend, Luann was surrounded by her girlfriends and decided — with their support — that in light of recent circumstances, it is the healthiest choice for her not to attend Tuesday’s reunion taping so that she can continue in her healing process. Luann is now surrounded by a core group of people who truly have her best interests at heart and who are working to make sure she gets the help she needs.” What – is Bethenny in PR now, who does she think she is Sonja Morgan?!
Sources reveal that friends and co-stars staged the intervention after Luann had several erratic outbursts in the Hamptons. I’m sure Lu’s new relationship with her still-married agent Rich Super isn’t helping! A friend tells Page Six they’ve worried Luann could do “serious harm to herself” as she spirals further out of control. Initially, Luann reacted poorly to their concerns but ultimately recognized that she needed to go.
“Bravo supports Luann’s decision to focus on her health. She is part of the Bravo family and we continue to stand by her as she copes with this challenging situation,” the network said in a statement to People. “At this time, we hope everyone will respect her privacy.”
Bethenny confirms the lawsuit filed by Luann’s family was the “catalyst to her taking a break.”
Sources tell Page Six that lawsuit “could get ugly” and Luann’s children are pissed over their mother’s decision to suddenly sell their Hamptons home without consulting them. The sale was motivated because Luann is “desperate” to escape the claustrophobic Sag Harbor community where she is constantly coming face-to-face with reminders of her brief, failed marriage to Tom D’Agostino.
Count Alex apparently advocated for legal action over the breach of the trust provision. He blames Luann and a pattern of over-spending, which extends back to their marital days. Sources say he is the reason the trust provision was included in the divorce decree as he hoped to “protect” the kids from Luann blowing their assets.
However, Luann’s daughter Victoria is allegedly taking the lawsuit against Luann very hard – in recent years she’s said to have felt responsible for Luann while she careened off the rails of bad decisions and partying. “She’s very worried about her mom,” an insider shares, adding that Victoria is “level-headed” and works two jobs while also working on her art.
I hope this time Luann is able to get her head on straight and after treatment get in therapy. I also worry what this could do for her Bravo career.

Ashley Darby Thinks Monique Samuels Uses Charrisse Jackson-Jordan For Her Contacts
Ashley Darby’s tagline for Season 3 of Real Housewives of Potomac is “You may say I cause trouble, but I say I keep things interesting.” She definitely does keep things interesting. She has no issue calling out Karen Huger (or anyone else) over and over again.
Ashley’s messiness made her the perfect person to be Andy Cohen’s guest on Watch What Happens Live last night. There wasn’t one question that she wouldn’t answer. She had no issue stirring things up and spilling some tea.
Andy asked Ashley, “Do you believe Karen didn’t know about Ray’s [Huger] financial issues?” Without hesitation, Ashley declared, “False. She knew everything.” I can’t help agreeing with that one.
Then the questioning got significantly more controversial when Andy asked, “Do you really believe that Monique [Samuels] wasn’t drunk when she was driving?” Ashley answered, “No, I do not.” Spoiler alert: almost every question asked was about Karen or Monique
Andy wanted to know, “Do you believe Karen has a perfume line?” Of course Ashley said, “No, I do not.” He also asked, “Do you really believe Monique wasn’t trying to be messy by bringing Kyndall [Douglas] around the group?” Ashley told him, “No, I do not.” Kyndall Douglas is the ex-wife of Sherman Douglas– Gizelle Bryant’s boyfriend from the beginning of Season 3. Kyndall was never at an event before that, so it’s most likely not a coincidence that Monique and Karen are inviting Kyndall to everything at this point.
And of course Andy had to ask, “Is Karen living in her Great Falls home?” Ashley said, “The jury’s still out, but I will say maybe.” But most likely not, though.
A viewer asked Ashley, “How is the relationship between your mom and Michael [Darby] these days?” Ashley shared, “Michael and my mom are on their way… to all being a happy family.” Andy teased, “I don’t want to spoil some of what we learned at the reunion, so I’m gonna leave things at that.”
A fan asked Ashley, “Why do you always call out Karen on her marriage and living situation, especially when you live in a glass house with your own marriage?” She explained, “I polish my glass house so I can see out clearly. Karen’s glass house is cloudy and all types of gross.” Fair enough.
Another viewer wanted to know “Do you think there’s more to [Karen] not wearing the ring?” Ashley answered, “Yes, I do. We were in the South of France. I have worn my ring in Somalia and Karen can’t wear hers in the South of France? We were on the French Riviera.” She might have just been trying to initiate a story line. It wouldn’t be the first time that Karen a Housewife has done that.
The Karen-inspired questions continued when Ashley was asked, “Do you believe Gizelle’s claims that Ray has a crush on her business partner and has been stalking her?”Ashley revealed, ” Yes, I was at said Christmas party. And I can attest that there were some googly eyes.” Andy told her, “Well, you kept that quiet at the reunion.”
A caller asked, “Do you think that Monique was really using Cha Cha [Charrisse Jackson-Jordan]for her friends and her contacts?” Ashley declared, “I one hundred percent do. There had been a lot of rumors going around that Monique was explicitly telling other people that and it got back to Charrisse. So it came straight from the horse’s mouth.” Damn.
Photos from Ashley’s appearance will be up soon!

The Real Housewives of Potomac Recap: French Fracas
No one can make mountains out of molehills like the women of the Real Housewives of Potomac. This week we’re back in France. The scenery was fantastic and the French were charming. But how can these women be at dinner and not showcase the food and wine? Personally, I could have done with fewer petty fights and more culture and scenery. Should we still be caring about Monique Samuels’ guest list offending Gizelle Bryant when she wasn’t even at the gala (which was months ago)? I vote no, but obviously, some thought otherwise.
We begin back at the hotel lobby where the argument between Gizelle and Karen Huger continues. Surprisingly, it’s Candiace Dillard to the rescue. She drags Karen out of the hotel and into the awaiting black van like she’s in some James Bond movie.
Gizelle sits in the lobby and waits for Robyn Dixon to arrive. She’s only an hour late, so she can’t believe the group didn’t wait for her. She’s on vacation, y’all! What’s the rush? The two walk seaside and take selfies. Let the haters hate! Gizelle and Robyn are the ones having all the fun and they’ll have the pictures to prove it. They head to a food truck to order crepes. The vendor takes Gizelle’s money, doesn’t offer change, then leaves to go inside to make the food. Let that be a lesson to us Americans: Appreciate that the food truck food is actually made in the truck!
Meanwhile, the rest of the group is off to Caussols to tour the essential oils distillery. Between the rolling hills, the cattle grazing in the pasture, and the log lodge, it looks a lot like Montana. Monique is excited because you can use essential oils on everything from bug bites to menopause. She’s still looking for the right combination that will turn people who are jealous of her into super-fans but give her time. Inside she pulls on some paper booties and stomps out all her frustrations on some innocent peppermint. The owner tells her that she’s done enough, but she needs a little more stomping to get the previous night out of her head.
Back in La Croisette, Robyn asks Gizelle why everyone ditched her. Gizelle claims that Monique had given them the option of going to either the oil distillery or to the perfumery, but flashbacks show clearly that Monique wanted everyone to do both. Now I think we could all forgive Gizelle for misunderstanding Monique’s intentions, but then she shows off her puppeteering skills by telling Robyn that all the women just wanted to leave her. Gizelle tried to stop them, but NO! They just left without her. Only Robyn’s true friend was willing to wait. Once again we see a flashback that proves otherwise, but Gizelle’s not done yet. She throws Charrisse Jackson Jordan under the bus and just can’t believe Charrisse would go with Monique. Gizelle’s like a Svengali to Robyn. Remember Robyn, didn’t Charrisse say she has issues with Monique? Robyn is completely under her spell. Yeah, Robyn now thinks Charrisse is a flip-flopper.
As everyone at the distillery pulls on their coveralls, Monique asks Ashley Darby why she didn’t go with her new buddies. Ashley’s a free thinker and goes where she wants. Monique thinks she came just to spy on them and report back to Gizelle. Ashley thinks Monique needs to worry less about Ashley’s friends and more about her own. Raise your hand if you see yet another big dinner blowup coming. Just once I’d like to see a dinner where people use humor instead of vitriol to entertain us. Just one dinner….It’s not like I’m asking for an entire day. Okay, where was I? Oh yeah, they make the oils and everyone had fun – even Charrisse.
The ladies head to Grasse which is really beautiful. They descend the stairs arm in arm and are feeling the love until they meet up with Gizelle and Robyn. Robyn immediately puts a damper on everyone’s good mood by asking why they ditched her. Everyone denies Gizelle’s version, and she admits she may have fudged the truth in order to spend time with Robyn. Anyone else think they had this planned all along because (a) Gizelle made it very clear in the last episode she didn’t want to go see baby oil being made and (b) they always need something to complain about. They walk around the gorgeous town and stop for some coffee. Candiace wows them by counting in French. Then from out of nowhere, she tells us she worked for the Obama White House and on his re-election campaign. To me, no matter which party you back, working in the White House is pretty cool. Candi Girl, why are you burying the lead and wasting our time on all this wedding nonsense? Also, her singing voice when she’s annoying Karen isn’t bad either.
They arrive at their second location, the perfumery, and Karen is in her element. The perfume maker the shop owner uses costs €3,000 and the process takes a month. The owner kindly offers them each a scented candle, and I didn’t like when they made fun of a few of the scents. Who returns generosity with stank face?
That night they head to dinner. They see a guy that Ashley thinks looks like Michael. Either Bravo focused on the wrong dude or Ashley’s already drunk because he doesn’t. At all. Candiace brings up that her Chris has to wear a goat-tee or he looks like a rodent. But he calls her a chipmunk, so it’s even. Random. Karen tries to apologize to Gizelle for going after her business partners the previous evening. She explains that she’s going through a lot. Gizelle asks if that’s why she’s not wearing her wedding ring. Karen denies that there’s trouble in paradise. She doesn’t think that it’s any of Gizelle’s business, but Ashley obviously thinks it’s hers because she says she’s heard Ray is moving to Florida with or without Karen. Karen claims he wants to retire there, but she likes Maryland. Ashley calls Karen a liar several times. I just have to know, where is Ashley getting all this dirt on everyone? Maybe I watch too many spy shows, but Karen needs to have a sweep of her house for bugs. Did Ashley hack into Karen’s phone and Suri’s spilling the tea about all the Hugers’ coming and going? Karen ignores Ashley and apologizes again to Gizelle who accepts it graciously and they move on.
Ashley sees she’s getting nowhere with Karen, so she moves on to Charrisse. Monique did you know Charrisse has been saying you’re poaching all her friends to claw your way up the social ladder? Cha calls Ashley a liar. Monique claims she has her own contacts. Robyn asks why she is bringing Kyndall around all the time. At first, Monique said it was just her gala, which Gizelle wasn’t at so it doesn’t even matter. Apparently, it does for some reason, but I’m distracted by the waiters in the background staring at the ladies. The waiters look concerned. Then Monique admits that Charrisse wanted her to bring Kyndall around which makes a lot of sense. Flashbacks remind us there’s been quite a bit of bad blood between Cha and Gizelle in the past. There was a bunch more bickering, but their waiter walks up and tells them to either order more food or leave. Candiace tries to bring up being laughed at the night before, but her timing is terrible and it just makes them laugh at her again. I feel sorry for her, and I’m glad at least Monique apologized. Back at the hotel, Ashley tries to persuade Karen to have a nightcap, but Karen declines. Ashley tells us that maybe the reason they butt heads is that she’s a Millennial and an open book both in real life and online. Karen’s a different generation and keeps all her secrets locked away.
The next day Karen and Candiace are having a seaside tea. Candiace is sad and Karen coaxes her into telling what’s wrong. Candi knows she’s not being taken seriously. Karen did warn her at the beginning when they were at the bubble ball picnic. She’d said not to tell them everything because they will twist it and use it against you. Candiace didn’t listen but she knows she needs help. Karen tells her that her timing is all off. If she has an issue, she needs to take the bull by the horns and do it up front. If you wait until the end, what happened the past two nights will always happen. Listen closely, potential new housewives. Karen is giving you a master class in Ratchet 101. Charrisse joins them and her advice is ‘Princess, don’t be so braggadocious.’ This makes Candiace cry. Karen tells her to just own her stuff and don’t cry. Charrisse says she’s a great girl but needs to let these friendships happen organically.
Back at the hotel, Monique asks Gizelle to breakfast which has been set up on the terrace. Monique admits it got so stressful last night that she feels like she lost 20 pounds. Monique again says that Charrisse is the one that wanted to bring Kyndall around and since Cha is Monique’s girl, she kept her mouth shut. Gizelle isn’t buying this for a second. After all, Monique is the one that spearheaded the whole Kyndall scandal by inviting her to the gala. Monique disagrees because Cha had the initial contact with her. Gizelle thinks Monique is showing hater behavior and Monique thinks Gizelle will always find a problem with her no matter what. Gizelle warns her that she took a shot and missed. Gizelle doesn’t miss. She’s like a ninja and her shot will “blow your brains out”.

Big Brother 20 Spoilers: Live Feeds Day 26 Highlights: Kaitlyn Calls Out Brett
We had a very eventful Sunday afternoon and evening in the Big Brother 20 house. What should have been a chill day, turned to a day of deception, deals, and dark warnings. Scottie Salton was riding high after winning the Power of Veto, and seemingly sealed the fate of one of his two biggest Big Brother 2018 enemies. However, things got complicated.
Scottie wanted Bret Robinson out the Big Brother game, but he didn’t want to push his agenda. He told everyone to decide who they wanted to stay. This lead to many different game discussions and new alliances forming. Bayleigh Dayton was at the center of many of these talks, because without Chris “Swaggy C” Williams, people see her as more of a free agent. Bret discussed his game with her, and planned to maybe form something new with her if he stayed.
She told him that Kaitlyn Herman was the main player trying to keep him in the Big Brother 20 game. This made him feel bad because Winston Hines and him had thrown her under the bus last night. Bayleigh then took this information to Kaitlyn, but only told her that Brett told her that JC Mounduix was the one to encourage him to target Kaitlyn.
Kaitlyn now wants JC out. Kaitlyn also took this information as a sign of a new bond with Bayleigh. She then told Bayleigh that she flipped the vote against Steve Arienta. She also told her that Tyler Crispen was the one that helped her make this decision. She then told Bayleigh that Sam has a power app, and that Faysal Shafaat and Haleigh Broucher also knew that Kaitlyn flipped the vote and about Sam’s power.
Bayleigh then had a discussion with Kaycee Clark about forming a new final two with her. She said she wanted their alliance to be based on honesty. Kaycee mentioned targeting Faysal and Kaitlyn. Later, Baleigh talked to Faysal but didn’t tell him this, but she did encourage him to try to form a bond with her and Rachel Swindler. Kaycee later told Tyler about this conversation with Bayleigh.
Kaitlyn was a little wigged out about people throwing her under the bus. She even got into a small argument with Scottie, because she thought she could be a replacement. Sam Bledsoe was also wigged out. She decided to have a private conversation with Brett to see if he had another power app, and to form some sort of new bond with him.
Haleigh also finally received her “Read It” punishment. Several times throughout the day, she heard “To Read” and had to read Hamlet. On a non-dramatic note, Rachel did receive some pop cakes from PopTV to celebrate her dramatic birthday.
The biggest chaotic mess to come from last night was Scottie deciding to tell Kaitlyn that Brett and Winston threw her under the bus to stay in the game. Kaitlyn then starts to call them out for doing that to her. This led to lots of tears from Kaitlyn, and wanting people to give her comfort. Haleigh’s reaction (to go to the Have-Not room with Level 6) made Faysal start questioning Haleigh’s loyalty again, which led to a big argument between the two.
Due to all the dramatic behavior, JC and Tyler started to decide that they should vote out Winston this week instead of Brett. Now it’s looking like Winston will leave on Thursday instead of his bromance partner. Expect another blindside vote for F.O.U.T.T.E, and for Kaitlyn to get a little cray-cray if she gets blindsided as well.

90 Day Fiance Happily Ever After Finale Recap: End Of The Line
Since we were gifted with a supersized episode of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After for last night’s season finale, there’s a lot of dirty, filthy, stinking laundry to unpack. We haven’t quite seen the last of our six very troubled couples since they’ll be back next week and the week after for the Tell All Reunion, parts one and two. But this is possibly the last time the TLC camera crew will catch them in their natural habitats – from warehouses to flophouses to Moroccan sidewalk scenes where Nicole is about to get locked up abroad. Ah, memories.
Given the length of the episode (with many a flashback) – and my desire to not make you read a Moby Dick length recap – I’ve distilled each couples’ story down to their personal highlights reels. Or, um, lowlights – as the case may be. Here we go!
Russ and Paola go to dinner to discuss their issues. THE END. Okay, kidding again. But seriously – here’s the nutshell: Paola thinks Russ won’t talk to her about painful things. Her miscarriage and grandmother’s death have hit her hard, and she’s feeling depressed. Russ has been working a ton, and he knows it’s tough to talk to Pao when cameras aren’t rolling. He’s sad too, though, and claims Pao pushed him away when he tried to reach out emotionally.
Back home, Paola escalates the fight by accusing Russ of being gone too much – even though he’s the only one with a job. This fact is not lost on Russ, nor is the fact that these two seem to be overacting SO COMICALLY that they can barely contain their giggles as they “fight.” For extra dramatic effect, Russ even turns to the camera crew to demand they stop filming. “Just stop!” he fake-yells, wishing he had someone as legit crazy as Jorge to get him more camera time.
They argue for a while before finally running out of lines steam. Paola cries that she’s sacrificed “everything” for Russ, but she’ll go home to Colombia if he can’t be there for her. Russ thinks Paola is blowing everything out of proportion, which she is. Oh well, there’s no fixing this tonight.
Bottom line: These two will be fine. But Paola and Russ, can you please be fine OFF of television from now on? We’re done. And one more time just because it bears repeating: GET A HAIRCUT, RUSS!
Molly and her youngest daughter, Kensley, are out roller skating and pretending that Mommy didn’t just blow up their entire lives. Molly mailed divorce papers to Luis, who she hopes just signs the damn thing and gets out of her life for good. Olivia, who Molly hasn’t seen in ages, shows up for skating – and to immediately get barked at about helping her sister with her skates. Damn, Molly! Give the poor girl a hug.
Olivia, who is the obviously most mature of the bunch, already knows that Molly won’t likely acknowledge what a huge mistake she made bringing a stranger into their lives and expecting him to be an insta-father figure. Molly apologizes, but it’s going to take a long time for Olivia to trust her again. “I loved him!” Molly defends when Olivia questions her sincerity. Even though Luis is gone (for good, let’s hope), Olivia still needs time before she comes home. At least she and Molly hug it out, which is a start.
Since Molly has retained the services of Toupee, Toupee & Toupee, she hopes her divorce will be the start of her new life too. Luis has signed the divorce papers! As Molly signs, she reflects on the doomed girls’ trip she took to the Dominican Republic, which resulted in accusations of voodoo and dance-offs in Space Jam shirts. This long, strange trip has been no bueno. Now she just has to attend Luis’s green card appointment to make sure he doesn’t get to stay in the country on her dime for the next ten years.
Okay – let’s get to the good stuff! With Nicole’s hair extensions still warm in her hand and River’s face and neck scratched up like a ratty cat tower, Mother Chantel goes on her tirade. As she waves the weave around like a prize, she decries Family Pedro – in Spanish – to the English speaking camera crew. (Um…???) They “are very bad for my family” she monotone-yells. While Chantel wails and moans in the background, the cameras pan to the table of food that Pedro donkey-kicked before fleeing the scene. Also, River got bit! By Nicole? He doesn’t seem fazed, more worried about checking his phone than checking his blood for rabies.
Chantel thinks Pedro and Nicole planned this attack on her brother, even though it was River who seemed ready to rumble once tensions rose. “Nobody puts their hands on my family,” says Chantel while her mother shows us Nicole’s hair and calls her a “heathen.” Meanwhile, Pedro and Nicole are likely back home changing locks and harvesting American dollars.
Sometime later, Chantel cries and tells us she’s not speaking to River because he’s cut her off. “I just really wanted our families to get along!” moans Chantel, who’s been stirring the sh*t between Pedro and her family from DAY ONE. She meets with her friend, Gege, to discuss the nightmare she’s created. After telling her tale of woe, Gege’s advice is to talk to Pedro. When she finally texts him back, Chantel finds out Pedro bought his sister a ticket home – and that he wants to smooth things over. “I want justice for my brother,” says Chantel, obviously still seeing Pedro as the lone instigator of the fight. Hmm.
At home later, Chantel and Pedro finally talk. They both took their siblings’ sides over one another, but neither of them thinks they’re wrong. Pedro sent his sister back to the DR, which frees up a lot of couch space, but doesn’t solve the root issue. Pedro blames The Family Chantel, while Chantel blames Pedro and Nicole. Their families hate each other; they hate each other’s family. Pedro never wants to see The Family Chantel again! He stands by that karate kick too.
Chantel tells Pedro her family will never talk to him again. He’s like, SWEET! He’d rather move back to the DR anyway. But since he does love Chantel, he’ll hang around for now…hoping River isn’t waiting with a knife outside his window at night.
Since there’s no fixing this obscene clusterf**k, I’ll say it again: Pedro and Chantel need to cut their families off for ONE YEAR. No cabins, no flat screen TVs, no chicken feet. Come on, people! It’s time to get a little bit more smarter. If not, life will continue to be a prelude to the tragic Family Chantel Dateline episode – and more than hair will be murdered in that show.
Until they make a decent decision, Chantel and Pedro need some time apart. So Pedro will go to the DR to visit his family, and Chantel will stay in Atlanta taking daily trips in the family van.
The moment of truth arrives after Nicole and Azan leave the marriage licensing office. At home, they tell Robbalee about the missing paperwork and, naturally, she blames her inept daughter. Inside she’s celebrating, but Robbalee pretends to be super bummed that her daughter won’t be officially catfished in a matter of days. “I don’t know what to saaaaaaaay!” whines Nicole, who doesn’t even want to tell her family back home what’s happened. Azan says he’s disappointed too…with a GIANT grin on his face.
When Nicole calls her father to deliver the blessed news, he openly smiles and practically does a fist pump knowing his daughter’s terrible decision has been delayed yet again. He does promise to research the paperwork Nicole needs, if by “research” he means continuing to sit in his recliner and wait for Nicole’s money to run out.
The harder task of telling Azan’s family (who planned and paid for most of the wedding) is up next. Nicole totally flakes out, forcing Azan to deliver the news while she buries her head in her hands and letting her greasy hair cover her face. Um, didn’t this very dense American check her paperwork? they wonder. Azan’s sister is particularly upset, telling Azan that the family will lose $6,000 in deposits because of this mistake. Nicole won’t even look at anyone, let alone take responsibility. I guess it’s back to Starbucks for her! She needs to start funneling money to these people again, STAT. That’s truly all they need her for if we’re gonna get 100% real. Also, question: Where is Azan’s father?
*We must take a break in this recap to acknowledge the 100 Doctor Pimple Popper commercials with which TLC is torturing us. OH MY GOOD GOD WHAT THE HELL AM I LOOKING AT?!?!? Okay, be strong guys. Back to the show…
At the park later, Azan and Robbalee have a heart to heart. Robbalee shoots straight: Is Azan still messing with a whole slew of trifling chicks around the globe? And is he still playing her daughter? Azan claims that no – he really, truly did want to marry Nicole after only TWO WEEKS of meeting her online. At least he admits there were “many” other women he was wooing too, but that shady voicemail wasn’t incriminating. No way, no how! Azan is squeaky clean these days, so much so that he’s even paying for his very own hair gel and fuzzy sweaters.
BUT WAIT – plot twist! Under Robbalee’s questioning, Azan finally cracks and admits that voicemail was real, not a prank. He was texting and calling girls right up until Nicole came over to Morocco weeks ago. Of course, he says NOW he’s totally faithful. There are definitely not 42 women in his phone ready to send their Starbucks paychecks to him. Mmm hmm.
Robbalee obviously knows Azan is a dirtbag, but she needs Nicole to know it too. So Azan says he’ll tell her the truth.
The day she leaves, Robbalee hugs May goodbye, hoping random Moroccan citizens care for her granddaughter when she leaves, given the fact that Nicole is obviously not capable. Back home, Azan decides to come clean by telling Nicole about the other women. Nicole cries, perhaps letting the truth sink in for the first time in years. Azan doesn’t seem particularly sorry, but he is either 1) worried about not getting his citizenship now, or 2) worried that he actually has to marry Nicole if he doesn’t blow this sh*t up now.
“I guarantee it won’t happen again,” says Azan, who’s literally cheated on Nicole since the day they met. Nicole being Nicole, she wants to believe him. But her tourist visa expires in two months, so maybe she’ll head back to Florida to harvest more dollars before making a final decision.
In even more depressing news, David and Annie are still married. “At least we have a roof over our head,” David pathetically tells Annie as a selling point of the warehouse he wants her to live in. Annie is not about this f**ked up life in public buildings, threatening to move back to Thailand if David drags her ass to even worse digs than this firehouse.
Because he has no other cards left, David just decides to bawl his head off. With his face the exact color of his maroon turtleneck, David BEGS Annie to continue living like an American Hobo with him. She’s all, FINE! I’ll pack up. But I’m not unpacking there. Annie, girlfriend: You’re going from firehouse to warehouse, yo. Next stop is OUTHOUSE. #Truth
“I want to die,” says Annie on her way to the warehouse. Yup, that about sums it up girl! David knows Annie has no choice but to stay with his sorry carcass, despite him having no plans of creating a decent life for her. “I will do whatever it takes to turn things around,” David swears, even deigning to work in the warehouse for one whole day. Although Annie is in hell, she can’t buy her own ticket back to Thailand. And those two water buffalo certainly aren’t going to fund her journey.
Anfisa is a cold-hearted grifter and Jorge is a terrible liar. THE END. Okay, we’ll dive into the details, but couldn’t that truly be the only line in their story? So, last seen, Jorge was at an outdoor café being forced to call his ex-girlfriend and alleged baby mama by his wife. This week, Jorge has been allowed indoors to do the very same task. Progress!
When he gets her on the phone, Jorge acts like he has no idea what this ex is accusing him of, nor why she’d reach out to Anfisa. AS IF. The ex contends that Jorge knows VERY WELL why she’s been stalking him for nearly a decade, and he has yet to cop to the truth about it. He’s the father of her child, and she claims Jorge knows it. Jorge has even bought presents for this child before, joking that “she’s his kid, after all.” Whaaaaaaaaaaa?
Anfisa sits dead-eyed, wondering just how deep Jorge will dig this grave before f**king jumping in for good. Answer: Much deeper. He says he’ll get a DNA test, which the ex-girlfriend says she’s BEGGED him to do multiple times in the past. But Jorge wasn’t on TV with a mail order bride before, so…
After he hangs up, Jorge just mouth-breathes for a while as Anfisa begins thinking about the only person who matters to her: Herself. Why didn’t Jorge defend HER more? she berates. Why didn’t he stand up for his WIFE? Jorge’s one remaining brain cell is working overtime, but not fully capable of handling this level of complexity. He hasn’t so much spun a web of lies; it’s more like a city dump of lies. He will NEVER clean this sh*t up. Also, can we just get Maury up in here and end this ONCE AND FOR ALL?!?
Alas, Maury cannot be reached, nor can we get the DNA results after Jorge’s test, because HE GETS ARRESTED. Yup, the Jorge done a bad thing. And he done it in Arizona, where drug laws are strict and they don’t cotton to folks transporting many (MANY) pounds of marijuana across state lines with the intention to sell. Cameras follow Jorge and Anfisa heading into court to face his felony charge, for which he’s now awaiting trial. It’s important to note that Anfisa let Jorge rot in jail for two days before bailing him out, which I guess could be considered a silver lining…?
Well, folks, WE DID IT! Another season in the books. Another white binder of being FRAUDED ahead of us. Next week’s Tell All looks sufficiently batsh*t, so meet me back here to see what nightmares may come.

The Essential Guide To Everything You Need For Proper Reality TV Binge-Watching
While we patiently wait to see the deals that Amazon is going to offer up on Prime Day 2018 (which kicks off tomorrow, July 16th, if you didn’t know already), we got to thinking about not only reality star products that we’ve seen over the years, but also about the products we consider (half-jokingly) “essential” for proper reality TV watching!
1. Popcorn
Because, let’s face it, this Michael Jackson meme says it all. We’re here for the reality show drama like a good, suspenseful movie. So we scarf down one bucket while watching and then another as we read the site comments about the episode!
2. A really, really big TV
What fun would reality TV be if we couldn’t get those UP CLOSE shots of post-plastic surgery Housewives in HD on a 70″ screen?
3. Rosé and 4. Wine glasses for your rosé
It’s basically an essential ingredient for reality TV watching, especially if you’re deep into the latest season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. And what better way to drink it than in an official Real Housewives wine glass?
5. Calming Tea
For those who don’t drink alcohol, there’s no better way to watch the tea being spilled than to do so while drinking tea. And since the shows are drama-filled and tense (season 5 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey for the win), why not grab a good calming tea for your nerves?
6. A Good Pillow
Yes, a pillow. It serves many purposes! You can scream into it when you’re frustrated by the antics on the screen. You can bang your head into it over and over without waking the kids. You can also use it to smack your binge-watching partner in a “holy shit, did you see that!?” sort of way. You can also use it to cover your eyes, but we all know you’re rewinding that mess to see it anyway.
TELL US – WHAT ARE YOUR ESSENTIAL ITEMS FOR WATCHING YOUR FAVORITE REALITY SHOWS? FOOD? DRINKS? FRIENDS?
