Both Tamra and Vicki were demoted and chose to walk when they weren’t offered an orange. In fact, Tamra was only offered a three-episode arc to finish out her story. Ouch!
According to Reality Blurb!, Dave Quinn appeared on Tamra’s podcast, Two T’s in a Pod to discuss his Housewives tell-all Not All Diamonds and Rosé: The Inside Story of The Real Housewives from the People Who Lived It. Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Teddi Mellencamp is Tamra’s co-host on the podcast.
Dave spilled some tea about who asked to be paid for their interview. “A lot of people wanted to get paid for it,” Dave explained. “Vicki Gunvalson asked for money.” That wasn’t news to Tamra, who responded, “She used to ask for money to go to Watch What Happens Live.” Wow.
Then Dave talked about how Tamra tried to withdraw from the project. Dave stated, “She had recently been fired from the Housewives and [she] was pissed. [Tamra] called me up and you were like, ‘F-ck Bravo. I’m not doing this book. I’m not talking to anybody. I’m never doing anything with Bravo again,’” he shared. Tamra owned it, and replied, “I was going through my bitter stage.”
If you are itching to see Vicki and Tamra on your TV screen again, the dynamic duo is part of the cast of the Peacock series Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip Season 2. This mash-up series features former Housewives staying at Real Housewives of New York alum Dorinda Medley’s estate in the Berkshires.
As usual, Vicki created a ton of drama. She allegedly “told Dorinda that everyone who got the vaccine is going to die.” Yikes! Vicki’s roomie, Tamra, admitted that Vicki “had a rough start.” I can’t wait to see these ladies mixing it up in the Bezerkshires. It is going to be epic!

Noella Bergener is truly doing the most on the Real Housewives of Orange County. But what else should we have expected from a former friend of Braunwyn Windham-Burke? Noella’s life is falling apart before our very eyes, yet she seems very preoccupied with being the main character. I have to give her credit — it is adding that classic petty drama Real Housewives thrives on. But she is giving me HEAVY Braunwyn 2.0 vibes that I’m not loving.
Noella’s recently been on a crusade of trying to take down the true RHOC Queen Bee Heather Dubrow. Noella vs. Heather turned from a classic moment of he-said, she-said to an all-out brawl. Noella is throwing fighting words at Heather, calling her cruel and manipulative. But trying to take the Dubrows down is never a good idea, especially for a newbie. Methinks this won’t end well for Miss Noella, but we’ll have to watch the season play out.
One of Noella’s most egregious claims in the latest RHOC episode was that Fancy Pants “slammed people into walls” at her sushi party. First of all, Heather doesn’t do below-the-belt fighting — she freaks out at the sound of the “C” word. So physical violence at a fabulous party? Not her style. It sounds like Emily Simpson is feeling the same way about her story, as she explained her POV during a recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live.
Andy Cohen asked Emily for her reaction to Noella’s over-the-top claims. Emily was on the right side of history when it came to Braunwyn, so she’s calling out Noella for her similar behavior that doesn’t add up. “First of all, if you notice, she contradicts herself,” Emily begins. There’s that lawyer talk — Shane Simpson, take notes. “She ‘heard’ and then she said she ‘saw.’ When someone contradicts themselves, it takes away from their credibility,” Emily continued. “I don’t believe them at all.”
Like, does Noella really think that Heather would get physical with someone at her party and somehow the entire RHOC fandom hasn’t heard of it? Production or someone behind the scenes would’ve leaked that to the blogs before the season even aired. It screams reaching to me. Noella, you have plenty of chaos going on in your life to make a storyline worthy of a second season. Don’t ruin it by, in her own words, being too thirsty and wreckless.
TELL US – DO YOU AGREE WITH EMILY THAT NOELLA WAS CONTRADICTING HERSELF? DO YOU BELIEVE THAT HEATHER SLAMMED PEOPLE INTO WALLS AT HER PARTY?

Jennie Nguyen is not here to put up with anyone’s sh**. While she’s new to Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, she’s already had her fair share of drama with the ladies. And one of her castmates that seems to be the subject of deep tension just so happens to be Mary Cosby. Despite Jen Shah threatening to overshadow the whole season with her legal drama, Mary has made a name for herself with her church drama and insensitive racial remarks.
As reported by Reality Blurb, Jennie made a recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live to discuss her thoughts on Mary and where they stand today. As for the accusation that Jennie speaks to Mary differently, Jennie maintained, “I don’t really know that I have a Black accent so I don’t know why people think only talking to Mary, I have a Black accent. I have an accent. Period. And it comes out to be whatever it is.”
She also added, “I don’t understand. I try to be nice to Mary. I reach out. I apologized if I offended her by using foul language. I did her makeup. And then coming at me and saying, ‘Oh, by the way, I brought this. And I didn’t want to carry it home so I gave it to you,’ for me, it’s insulting. It has to come from the heart. It doesn’t matter if it’s $1 or $1 million.”
As for why Meredith Marks has stood so firmly by Mary’s side, Jennie thinks it has something to do with Jen. Said Jennie, “I’m friends with Jen, therefore there’s that animosity against Jen, therefore she figures, ‘Oh you don’t like Mary and Mary doesn’t like you so I’m just going to stick with Mary because you stick with Jen. You supported Jen.’ That’s all I can think of.” Whew. Does anyone else find some of these RHOSLC feuds super confusing? Don’t get me wrong, I love the drama. But sometimes it’s hard to keep up with who is on the outs with who.
Regarding Jennie and Mary’s relationship today, Jennie said that Mary apologized for her commentary on Jennie’s eyes. But noted that Mary’s behavior never changed. Said Jennie, “She apologized but then she continued to make little digs at me. It didn’t stop. If you apologize, don’t do it again. That’s what my mom says, ‘If you apologize, genuinely apologize and don’t do it again. Learn from your mistake.’”
Jennie concluded, “But Mary keeps throwing digs at me. If you keep continuing to watch, there are more down the road that she would not stop with this racial comment towards me and I don’t understand. Why me?”

After the dissolution of her 20 year marriage to Joe “Juicy” Giudice, she wasted no time moving on. After a nearly year long courtship, the Real Housewives of New Jersey star is now happily engaged to Luis “Louie” Ruelas.
He even gifted her a new car for the holidays and wrote her daily love notes that she showed off on her stint on Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip. Some call it “lovebombing” and fans were quick to warn Teresa that Louie has a checkered past. But Teresa defended her man and told haters, “I say like, ‘Please mind your business.’ You should want someone to be happy, because if you want someone else to be happy, then happiness comes to you. I’m about that. I’m not about ever hurting someone or tearing them down or anything like that.”
But Teresa isn’t going to let the negativity stop her from wedding planning. And those plans might even include her ex, Juicy. Joe recently spoke with Access and it seems like things are pretty harmonious between the ex couple. Said Joe, “I mean Louie is a good guy. He seems like a good guy. I got nothing against Louie. I met him. He is a nice guy.” I think it’s important to remember that Joe is a man of few words.
As for Teresa and Louie’s relationship, he revealed, “They are happy, you know what I mean? And that’s all that matters. I don’t expect her to be alone, who wants to be alone?” And if he was invited to their wedding? Joe replied, “Would I go to the wedding? I don’t care, why not.” That’s not exactly a ringing endorsement of excitement, but with Juicy, I think we will take what we can get.
For his part, Joe has supported the couple for some time now. Despite initially stating that he though they “moved a bit quick into this romance,” Joe has since come around.
Teresa said of the relationship between Joe and Louie, “They like each other…We went to the Bahamas and we went to go see Joe, and Louie DM’ed Joe behind my back. I didn’t even know. He’s like, ‘We’re coming out there. I would like for us to all have dinner.’ We went out to the Bahamas because Joe is living six months in the Bahamas and six months in Italy, so we had dinner with him and it went really well. Joe thinks Louie’s a great guy.”

It may be hell for the contestants, but we're certainly enjoying Netflix's new reality TV show Single's Inferno. After premiering in December, word has spread that the Korean...Lea Black was an integral part of The Real Housewives of Miami during its original run, so we’ve been patiently waiting for her to share her unfiltered opinion about all-things season 4. Thankfully, she squeezed some time in between planning charity galas and running her skincare empire to make an appearance on Behind The Velvet Rope With David Yontef. On the podcast, the “Mayor of Miami” didn’t hesitate to share her feelings about the Peacock reboot and its current lineup of Housewives. And when discussing Larsa Pippen’s presence on the show, Lea didn’t seem too impressed.
As Radar Online reported, Lea explained on the podcast that she’s never known Larsa to “really put herself out there.” As a result, Lea isn’t confident that Larsa will deliver anything substantial during her second stint as a Real Housewife.
So far, on the reboot, Larsa hasn’t been a major player in any of the action. We’ve seen her talk about selling her house, and we’ve seen her give Adriana de Moura a crash course on how to make a killing on Only Fans. Meanwhile, in the same number of episodes, Alexia Echevarria has dealt with at least three different family crises, all while planning a wedding. So, Lea’s assertion about Larsa might not be too far off.
Lea also pointed out that Larsa doesn’t show off genuine parts of her life. Of course, we all know that’s a critical element to being an entertaining Housewife. However, Lea doesn’t think we should get her hopes up with Larsa. She explained, “I’ve never seen her crying or complain[ing] or whining about her personal life. I’ve never seen any of that with her, so I wouldn’t expect it.” She continued, “[She] has a very see-and-be-seen superficial kind of life.”
In Lea’s opinion, that superficial, “see-and-be-seen” lifestyle is what helped land her a spot on the reboot. After all, Larsa became a tabloid staple in the last couple of years, amassing a hefty Instagram following thanks to her estranged relationship with the Kardashians. According to Lea, Larsa believes that the Kardashian connections and flashy lifestyle got her back on the show. But, is that enough to sustain the audience’s interest?
“I do think she kind of thinks that. Based on my conversations with her, I think she kind of thinks that,” Lea said. “And that’s not an insult to her! I think that’s going to be a very short-lived interest in people. Now, if she can get past that … great. But if it’s the bait-and-switch, then no, no. … That’s not sustainable. … It’s a buzz, and it’s over.”
Lea’s observations about Larsa might seem a little bit shady. However, during the interview, she reiterated that she does maintain a relationship with her fellow RHOM OG. She’s one of the few cast members that Lea does stay in contact with, but it definitely doesn’t sound like she’ll be making an appearance as a “friend of” anytime soon.

Well, well, well, the plot certainly thickened this week on The Real Housewives of Orange County. Feuds are building momentum. We’re prepping for the first cast trip of the season. And we saw more of Shannon Beador in her ShipStation commercial than we did in the actual episode. I’ll say it again and again until something changes my mind: the great reboot of RHOC is going great. It’s fun. It’s drama. I’m loving it. And anyone who says otherwise is just hating for the sake of hating.
The episode kicks off with Heather Dubrow taking Max Dubrow to get their auras read. Because it’s a cute mother-daughter bonding activity and Heather wants to see if it’ll make for good entertainment at the upcoming party for the self-help book Max has written, I’ll Give It To You Straightish: What Your Teen Wants You To Know. I don’t know about you, but I actually totally believe in this whole aura business. Because one time a few years ago, I got mine read with friends at a little shop in Chinatown, and literally every single thing the reader interpreted from my aura was true. Including a few things that came to fruition months down the road. Heather is a bit less pleased the misshapen blobs of her aura than I was, but it’ll still make for a fun party trick.
Meanwhile, Noella Bergener has invited Gina Kirschenheiter over to the mansion she’s currently squatting in because she’s solved the biggest mystery of the season. She’s found James Bergener! And where in the world could he possibly be? No, Gina. Not South Africa, sweetie. While Sweet James filed for divorce — in Spanish, remember — from Puerto Rico, it turns out that he’s allegedly jetted off to Mykonos! At least, so says the trail of credit card charges Noella’s been able to track. As for what he’s doing there, God only knows. But the revelation sets something loose in Noella. She now feels able to start moving forward with her life rather than waiting for him to come home. Now if only poor Gina could figure out where Mykonos is located on a map.
Cut to Heather getting Dr. Jen Armstrong and Emily Simpson together for a little girls’ afternoon. First up is a trip to the sauna, into which Emily has shamelessly toted an entire turkey sandwich. She’s hungry, people! While they sweat out the toxins and tryptophan, Dr. Jen gives us some fascinating insight into her past. Apparently before she married her husband, she dated a billionaire. And their break-up made headlines in the OC after she was accused of cheating on him.
Then, a few days after they got married, said billionaire ex-boyfriend sued the good doctor to the tune of $850,000, claiming every gift he ever gave her was a loan. What a wedding present! Naturally, this built quite a bit of tension into Dr. Jen‘s marriage, and it’s rippled through the years. Frankly, the story’s giving me Elizabeth Vargas vibes, and I need to know everything. Including whether or not she’s actually board certified. Also, what’s medical battery?
Once Emily finishes her Jimmy John’s, the trio move on to the nail salon for a mani/pedi. Naturally. In the chairs, Heather floats out the idea of a little girls’ getaway. Who wants to go to Cabo San Lucas? The other topic of conversation at hand is all things Noella. Including whether or not she deserves her own invitation to Mexico. Given everything she’s heard about what Noella’s saying behind her back, Heather doesn’t quite know how to read the newbie. First, Noella called her a “fake b—h” (which Emily heard from Nicole James, too). And then she warned Gina that Heather was “not to be trusted.” The thing is, Heather has no idea where any of this is coming from. From what we’ve seen, she’s been nothing but kind, welcoming and gracious to Noella. Why all the negativity?
Shannon, meanwhile, spends the entirety of this episode on a trip to Nashville to visit her mother. All three Beador girls are along for the family vacation as well. But rather than see Shannon take Music City by storm(s), the only scene we get is lunch at a nondescript restaurant that could be anywhere from Newport to Cleveland. Sophie Beador gushes over her new college boyfriend, whom she’s planning to marry after just two months of dating. Ah, young love (*insert eyeroll*). And everything Sophie has to say about her healthy, wonderful, perfect first relationship triggers all the guilt Shannon keeps bottled up over the toxic marriage her girls witnessed for years between her and David. It honestly feels like Shannon’s on an entirely different show.
Back in Orange County, Heather invites Noella over to Chateau Dubrow to get to the bottom of everything that’s being said behind her back. But the peace summit starts off on the wrong foot when the newbie accuses Fancy Pants of inviting her over to see her in action as she films an informercial with Terry Dubrow. Well, not to her face anyway. In her confessional. But, gee, I don’t know. Maybe Heather has more to do all day than sit around the house and shop? So maybe she asked Noella to swing by in between filming and one of her many other projects? Like, I don’t know, recording her hit podcast, planning Max‘s party or being a mom to four kids? What a concept!
Pulling Noella into her home office — which the newbie also can’t help but hate on via interview — for a private chat, Heather lays out all the gossip she’s been hearing. And to her credit, Noella doesn’t deny saying all the things she’s said. But she also doesn’t really take accountability for any of it, either. She brushes off the comment to Nicole as nothing more than lashing out during a hard time. Understandable. And when Heather asks why she apparently shouldn’t be trusted, Noella blames Nicole not wanting to talk about her lawsuit against Terry. Huh?
Then, Noella brings a rather incendiary accusation straight out of left field that Heather was “slamming people against walls” the night of her sushi party. Umm…what? The newbie seems to infer that she was told about the alleged violence by production. But if production had that footage, don’t you think they would’ve used it? It’s bizarre and almost laughable. It’s safe to say Noella and Heather might not be meant to be friends. But everything from the lighting to the line delivery in this confrontation was high camp. Housewives art. So far, I quite like Noella, and have a ton of empathy for her personal situation, but the way she’s treating Heather so far doesn’t sit well. And I have a sneaking suspicion that the motive behind her hostility could have something to do with wanting to fight Shannon‘s battle for her. But that’s just a subjective personal theory…
The evening of Max‘s book launch arrives, and all the ‘Wives are invited. Yes, even Noella. Who, after a quick air kiss hello, spends the rest of the party far away from the hostess. Shannon‘s not in attendance because she feels sick after coming home from Nashville. And we learn that in the interim, Noella both made up with Dr. Jen from their argument last week and sparked a whole new feud with Nicole over the latter’s complete lack of empathy and support over her divorce. But for some reason, we’re robbed of seeing both scenes, except in quick flashbacks. C’mon editing! Do better.
All the ladies are excited about Heather‘s upcoming trip to Cabo. Except Noella, who has yet to receive an invite. But, I mean, should she even expect one at this point? Heather gives a lovely speech praising Max, and as one of the many, many queer kids who never really got that same level of acceptance at home, I have to say it was very touching. As I tweeted during the episode, this is how you support your LGBTQ+ child. And the episode ends with Emily getting plastered and hilariously mocking Nicole‘s $15,000 handbag, pestering Dr. Jen about how she paid for medical school (“But you said your family was wealthy?”) and trying to get the doc to admit she was with her (apparently unattractive) billionaire ex for the money. Drunk Emily is the most fun Emily. Next week, the ‘Wives take Cabo!

He obviously has closer relationships with some stars than others in his personal life, but can also appreciate them as TV characters. Just recently, Andy shared his Top 5 favorite Real Housewives moms of all time. Take away his title, and he’s a reality TV junkie just like the rest of us.
Ahead of the premiere of the next season of Real Housewives of New Jersey, Andy decided to show some love to the lovable HouseHusbands of the Garden State. (Sidenote: can we please get one RHONJ episode dedicated to the husbands this go around?) The Watch What Happens Live host took to Instagram to do a Q&A with fans. One follower asked Andy to pick a favorite HouseHusband, which was a daunting task for the Bravo Boss.
“I don’t have a FAVORITE but I think we can all agree this man is a Hall of Famer….” Andy wrote over a photo of Joe Gorga. Don’t tell Joe Giudice that Andy said that. Something tells me that won’t go over well for the man who went to prison on national TV as well as never shied away from showing off his splits skills.
I love Andy’s love and admiration for the Giudice/Gorga fam. They really are the reason that RHONJ is such a legendary franchise. Teresa Giudice’s table flip will always remain a pivotal moment in Real Housewives history. But Tarzan has his own legacy on the show, even if he and his sister disagree on how Melissa Gorga ended up with a full-time role. Without Joey Gorga, there would be no infamous RHONJ christening episode.
We probably wouldn’t have MelGo’s No. 1 bop “On Display” if Joe didn’t put a music studio in their suburban castle home. And whenever he appears on screen with Frank Catania, it’s always a gift. Especially when they’re literally kissing each others’ asses.
Even though Tre and Joe are in a good place these days, it doesn’t mean the Gorgas won’t have drama. Her oldest dorter Gia Giudice is going to beef with her uncle. She’s really done with the way the Gorgas talk about her dad Juicy Joe. But what’s a season of RHONJ without some Giudice/Gorga back and forth? Truly, I have no idea.
