Real Housewives Of Atlanta Recap: Big Apple, Bigger Drama

Marlo Hampton enlists Sheree Whitfield and Kenya Moore to help her with her new home plans. These are two legends of the home building process, so this should be good. I love that Marlo will have her own floor in this new house. She’s embracing her auntie status, but she’s always giving herself a lavish space of her own.

Kenya and Sheree love the plans for the new home so far. This house will likely be built in far less time than their respective abodes. The only downside of Marlo’s place is how far away she is from everyone else. Is her home even in Atlanta still?

Marlo and Kenya get into a spat about everyone’s questioning where her money comes from. She can’t be serious. She’s never been forthcoming about the origins of her income over the years. People are bound to ask questions.

Sheree plans on seeing Tyrone Gilliams while in NYC. FINALLY. It’s about damn time the women get to meet Sheree’s ex-con bae. He’s technically allowed to go there because it’s within the required radius.

Drew Sidora Real Housewives Of Atlanta

Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker are still not vibing about this apartment he has. He wants her to be on board about it so bad, but she’s not interested. She doesn’t want a place that he was originally intending on using for himself and another woman.

Todd’s really good at flipping the script and making Kandi seem like the bad guy. Sometimes it seems like he punishes her for her success. I like Todd, but he can do a lot better as a husband. He’s not Ralph Pittman bad, but he still has room for improvement.

Drew and Ralph meet with their therapist, and this should be highly entertaining. Their marriage is a total trainwreck. Ralph’s harping on the fact of giving her a steak and lobster dinner and not the facts. He just doesn’t get it.

Their therapist calls them out for always attacking one another. They never listen to what the other is trying to say. They both come into every situation with their own agendas and ulterior motives. If their marriage continues down this same path for much longer, I can’t imagine it being successful.

Kenya Moore Real Housewives Of Atlanta

Kandi’s invitation for her trip is a lot more provocative than what Marlo did. She has a whole ass half-naked woman show up to invite everyone. WAIT. OH MY GOD! It’s Patrick Dallas and Safari from Kandi and the Gang. I’m screaming! She had her own relative show up basically naked to do this.

Kenya’s running with the fact that Kandi had them show up doing that. I wonder if they’re going to feud. I doubt it though because that’s Kenya’s only true friend in the group.

NOT A SPRINTER VAN. The cast is going to ride in a sprinter van. Nothing good happens in a sprinter van. Someone be on the lookout for Homeland Security.

Kenya feels blindsided about it being a couple’s trip. She’s single, and she was never given the information about this. She’s also still pressed about the way Kandi invited everyone. I know she has a lot going on, but she’s looking for a fight with her only genuine ally. That’s a good way to end up on an island alone.

Sanya Richards-Ross says her wildest sex story is on a plane to Dubai, but Drew Sidora doubts it. She doesn’t think she ever got freaky outside of her bed. Why does Drew stay hating on everyone? She’s such a damn downer.

Drew Sidora Real Housewives Of Atlanta

Everyone in the group is on decent terms so far on the first group trip of the season. However, the writing’s on the wall for future feuds to come. Sanya’s beginning to question Drew’s loyalty as a friend.

Drew says Sheree was evil at the tea part. That’s taking things a little too far. Sheree wasn’t even the one out there spilling the alleged tea about Ralph. It was her friend. Not only that, but shouldn’t both Sheree and Drew be directing their anger toward the assistant and not each other? The anger feels so misdirected.

Kandi and Todd are making things awkward for everyone in the sprinter van. They’re airing out their dirty laundry in front of the entire group. They should tread lightly. This is the type of group that will take an opening like that and run with it to cause chaos.

Everyone notices at dinner that Drew isn’t wearing her wedding ring. The producers flash to her constantly not wearing it. We love the shady editing!

Drew fills the group in about their therapy exercise which probably won’t go well. Ralph wants Drew to get over his mess with his assistant. He’s joking, right? That relationship and correspondence were highly unacceptable.

Kenya’s sticking up for Drew in a genuine effort to be a real friend to her. However, Ralph’s digging the hole deeper. Kenya’s leading the charge and really taking up for Drew. She accuses Ralph of tearing Drew down. It’s useless though. He laughs it off.

Ralph reminds Kenya so much of her ex Marc Daly because of the blatant gaslighting. Ralph’s completely comfortable feeding Drew bullshit to her face. She needs to stand up for herself and recognize her own self-worth. After two seasons of this show, her marriage is looking worse than ever.

Things quickly move to the feud between Drew and Sheree. Kandi tries to make sense of the situation and says the assistant is the originator of the rumor. Here we go!

Bethenny Frankel And Andy Cohen React To Jill Zarin Claiming That Bethenny Used Her Husband Bobby Zarin’s Funeral For Publicity

Former Real Housewives of New York City star Jill Zarin has been on a quest to return to the franchise ever since she was shown the door. When Andy Cohen announced that there was going to be a separate series with RHONY alums, Jill pounced. She tagged Andy with a phone emoji on the Bravo announcement about the RHONY: Legacy series.

While Jill didn’t get a call back from Andy, one of her former co-stars did. Bethenny Frankel revealed on her podcast, Just B with Bethenny Frankel, that she was offered an apple. But Bethenny doesn’t think that Bravo can afford her. That must annoy Jill.

Bethenny and Jill were fast friends in the early days of RHONY. But Bethenny’s increasing popularity drove a wedge between the duo. During Season 3, Jill famously told Bethenny that their friendship was over. “You know what Bethenny, we are DONE!” Jill exclaimed before hanging up on a shocked Bethenny.

Jill’s beloved husband, Bobby Zarin, who was very fond of Bethenny, lost his battle with brain cancer in January of 2018. Bethenny attended Bobby’s memorial service, which was filmed by Bravo cameras.

At the time, Jill explained that she wanted the cameras to capture this normally private moment. “This was all about memorializing Bobby — [there was] no drama,” Jill explained. “He was an important part of the show and a great friend to many who appeared on it.” Other RHONY stars attended Bobby’s service, including Sonja Morgan, Ramona Singer, Kelly Killoren Bensimon, and Aviva Drescher.

In April of 2022, Jill changed her tune about the reason that Bethenny attended Bobby’s funeral. “She came with cameras [to Bobby’s funeral], which I didn’t know were going to be there, so that changed it for me,” Jill stated. She added that she was so happy to see Bethenny that she didn’t question her motives. Bethenny did meet with Jill privately, but then allegedly went and and filmed with her RHONY co-stars, updating them about visiting Jill. “I did feel a bit used,” Jill remarked.

During a recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live, Andy and Bethenny discussed Bobby’s memorial service. Andy read a question from a fan. “Your response to Jill Zarin saying you showed up to Bobby’s funeral for publicity because you brought cameras. Now I believe that…go on,” Andy stated.

“I don’t own any cameras. So, I didn’t bring any cameras,” Bethenny responded. “Right,” Andy said.

Bethenny continued, “And I remember you and I had a discussion, and you told me that she wanted…why don’t you tell it.” Way to pass the hot potato, Bethenny!

“I think she invited us. I think she said, ‘If you want to cover this…If you want to include it in the show,’ by the way, which we did, because he was an important part of the show,” Andy stated.

“You think or you know?” Bethenny asked Andy. “No. I know,” the host replied.

“Right, and you know what?” Bethenny remarked as she held up a sign that read “agree.” Score one for Bethenny.

Jill’s daughter, Ally Shapiro, sounded off in the comments of Bravo’s WWHL Instagram page. “There’s so much I want to say,” Ally wrote.

Jill is a cast member on Season 2 of Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip, which features former Housewives from different franchises. Jill and her co-stars will be living the dream in RHONY alum Dorinda Medley’s Berkshires mansion. The Season 2 trailer looks promising, and I’m looking forward to watching all the craziness unfold!

Below Deck Down Under Recap: A Christmas Story

It’s Christmas on Below Deck Down Under! And Benny Crawley is on the naughty list. Well, not Santa’s naughty list. Or even Captain Jason Chambers‘. But Jamie Sayed‘s? For sure. In fact, if the bosun were in charge of Christmas, Benny would be kicked out of the North Pole and get nothing but coal in his stocking for the rest of his life. That’s all a festive way of saying Jamie wants the junior deckhand fired. But Captain Jason isn’t quite so rash or emotional. So cooler heads prevail and he makes Jamie calm down while promising to get to the bottom of the drama.

Besides, Captain Jason already has more than enough staffing problems weighing on him. Chef Ryan McKeown‘s been on his best behavior since their clash in the galley. And the cocky chef seems to think he’s redeemed himself in a matter of days. But little does he know the captain’s still anxious to get him off the boat. And is actively on the lookout to replace him, if only COVID protocols made that decision simpler. Sorry Ryan, your days are numbered no matter how many wet eggs you serve up to Jason. Meanwhile, Aesha Scott is pleased to see that Magda Ziomek is actually showing signs of improvement. So that’s the one silver lining in the crew’s staffing issues.

below deck down under recap season 1 episode 12 jamie sayed benny crawley feud bosun deckhand fired

Meanwhile, the weather has turned gloomy and it reflects the mood hanging over the boat. Jamie calls Benny to the main deck aft in an attempt to have one more conversation. Though he can’t even keep from gossiping to Brittini Burton before Benny’s even arrived. The bosun starts the talk by saying he now doesn’t want to meet with Captain Jason. Huh? What was the point of that temper tantrum, then? But when Benny starts trying to speak up for himself, it turns into yet another conflict between the two. Jamie feels like Benny is belligerent and doesn’t respect the authority he demands. And Benny feels Jamie picks on him, leads by intimidation and has his “foot on his neck,” metaphorically speaking. So now Captain Jason’s going to have to step in and mediate. So much for that attempt at peace…

The guests are stuck playing board games thanks to the rain, and Brittini once again runs the idea of their #vanlife road trip past Culver Bradbury. Except now things are getting uncomfortable since the entire crew is pushing them to hook up. And Brittini might be catching some feelings. Will these two make it to the end of the charter season with their friendship in tact? For now, Culver’s more concerned about putting on his Santa hat as the unofficial chief entertainment officer and helping Aesha out with the guests’ Christmas party.

below deck down under recap season 1 episode 12 tumi mhlongo madga ziomek tampon snow christmas party

Aesha and the rest of the crew start transforming the boat into some kind of winter wonderland. There are Christmas trees, Santa hats, and Magda even comes up with the idea of making fake snow out of…tampons? Ok, sure, whatever works! At least the third stew gets points from Aesha and Tumi Mhlongo for ingenuity. Chef Ryan‘s also cooking up a full Christmas dinner with roast turkey, glazed ham, mashed potatoes, candied carrots and more.

Before dinner though, Captain Jason calls Jamie and Benny into the wheelhouse along with Aesha to serve as a witness. Benny insists he’s doing his best at work. But Jason’s ears perk up when the deckhand throws out the word “intimidation.” If that’s what’s happening here, there’s a bigger problem. And for all of his big talk and bluster, Jamie’s relatively reserved in the actual meeting. In fact, he’s actually pretty polite to Benny in front of the captain. Instead of demanding Benny be fired, he pretty much agrees to keep working as usual while Captain Jason continues to investigate.

below deck down under recap season 1 episode 12 culver bradbury santa suit christmas party deckhand chief entertainment officer

The guests are completely oblivious to any of the drama happening on board. They’re just ready to celebrate Christmas! And so is Culver, who dons a Santa suit complete with a beard and a pillow in the shirt to entertain the guests. He even convinces Aesha to play along as his red-nosed reindeer. Though the leather harness she uses as she paws on the ground reads…a little different from the Christmas cheer she’s going for. But hey, maybe it’ll increase the tip money?

Merriment aside, Captain Jason pulls Culver aside to get his take on the drama happening between Jamie and Benny. The self-appointed entertainment officer claims he’s never seen any evidence of the bosun intimidating Benny. But definitely chalks up the tension to their differing styles of communication and sees fault on both sides. Brittini essentially echoes the same thought in her own meeting with the captain, though she feels that Jamie is really the one in the wrong.

As a Christmas treat, Aesha lets Magda off for the day a half hour early. But only under the condition that she’ll go to sleep, not spend the thirty minutes talking to her boyfriend in Poland. And which of those things do you think Magda actually does? Yes, she spends the time arguing with her boyfriend over someone named Paulina. Aesha literally has to tell her to get off the phone and go to sleep once she gets to the cabin for the night.

below deck down under recap season 1 episode 12 benny crawley

The next morning, it’s time for the guests to leave. Christmas is over, folks! Chef Ryan serves a decent breakfast of smoked salmon and avocado toast. But Magda takes two steps backward and starts once again getting on Aesha‘s nerves. Everything else goes fairly smoothly though, and Captain Jason even keeps Benny on deck during docking instead of putting him behind in the tender. Maybe due to the crummy weather, the tip only amounts to $14,000. That’s a few hundred per person than they would’ve liked, but what can you do? Guess a reindeer in bondage leather can only get you so far.

Once the tip meeting ends, Brittini calls a meeting with Benny and Culver on the sun deck. Because, the whole season, they’ve never sat down and gelled into a single unit. She wants to create a safe space for Benny outside of Jamie‘s reach. And that starts with her confessing that Jamie changed shifts without telling Benny he wasn’t pulling his weight. The deckhand is blindsided by the underhanded slight. And it just gives him one more piece of ammunition against the bosun. However, it may be too late to save him. Because Captain Jason calls him to the wheelhouse to let him know he’s made a decision. And…we’ll have to find out what that decision is next week. To be continued!

TELL US – DO YOU THINK CAPTAIN JASON WILL TAKE JAMIE’S SIDE OR BENNY’S? IS BRITTINI RIGHT THAT THE TENSION IS JAMIE’S FAULT? WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THE CREW’S CHRISTMAS PARTY?

Teresa Giudice Was Surprised Excluding Melissa Gorga From Her Bridal Party Made Melissa and Joe Gorga Upset; Says “I Didn’t Think It Was Going To Be A Big Deal”

Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice was furious when her brother, Joe Gorga, and his wife, Melissa Gorga, joined the show. This franchise centers on family more than any other Housewives series. But at the Season 12 reunion, RHONJ viewers saw a family disintegrate. Teresa was still angry that years ago, Joe and Melissa didn’t move their wedding date because she was pregnant. Oof.

Then Teresa called her brother a “bitch boy” before Joe stormed off stage. She was raging at the reunion, and it was a little scary. Both Melissa and Teresa admitted that they weren’t close, and they were done pretending. Wow!

Now that Teresa is getting ready to wed her “soulmate,” Luis “Louie” Ruelas, the man with the questionable past, there is even more drama about her wedding. During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live, Teresa revealed that she will have eight bridesmaids, but none of her co-stars got the nod. “Please guys, don’t make a big deal about it,” Teresa commented. Oh, this was going to be a HUGE deal.

Melissa found out from watching TV that she wasn’t in the wedding. Joe bashed his sister for excluding his wife. “It’s more like there isn’t any respect. My sister, she was completely wrong, 100 percent,” Joe stated.

Teresa explained that she wanted everything done exactly the way she wanted for her wedding to Louie. “I’m not her best friend, she’s not my best friend,” Teresa said of Melissa. “But do we hang out like best friends? No, we don’t, and I’m okay with that.” That’s cold.

Melissa confirmed that they don’t meet up off-camera, and she doesn’t have any guilt about the way their relationship ended up. At this point, I’m wondering if Melissa and Joe will even attend this wedding.

Teresa told E! News that she did apologize to Joe after the reunion. “I don’t know why it got out of hand. I love him. I adore my brother,” Teresa stated. “I apologized to him for what I said. And that’s it.”

As for the drama about Melissa not being in her wedding, Teresa was “shocked” that Melissa and Joe even cared. The RHONJ star said, “I didn’t think it was going to be a big deal at all. And she said she’s fine with it now.” I think Teresa has a sprinkle cookie delivery in her future.

RELATED: Teresa Giudice Is Unhappy With How She Was Portrayed This Season On Real Housewives Of New Jersey

But Teresa isn’t ready to let go of her anger at Margaret Josephs for asking about Louie’s past. Teresa explained, “I just felt like if Margaret was my real friend, and how she said she was concerned for me, she wouldn’t have been doing what she was doing.”

She continued, “My real friends that are concerned wouldn’t keep going on and on and on and she kept going on and on and on. It’s like, if someone told me to stop, I would stop.” Yet Teresa is going on and on about this even after Louie told her to stop. Just saying.

According to Teresa, all the drama has brought her and Louie even closer together. “My poor baby. I felt so bad for him,” Teresa said, “I’m glad he’s still around because he could’ve been like ‘See ya.'”

While Teresa wouldn’t say whether her nuptials were going to be televised, she did discuss her future on RHONJ. “I’m gonna ride it out ’til the end. I’m excited. New chapter, new beginning,” Teresa remarked. “Of course, I want you guys to come along for the ride. [I’m] working on myself so I want you guys to see all that. I want you guys to be proud of me.”

Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Have A Netflix Docuseries In The Works

Well, they wanted to modernize the British monarchy and here we are.  Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Duke and Duchess of Sussex, will be optimizing access to their lives by working with a Netflix film crew. The duo, who stepped down from official royal duties and moved to North America in early 2020, will star in a Netflix docuseries about the life they created after leaving Great Britain.

Meghan and Harry signed a multi-million dollar deal with Netflix in 2020, and it’s time to deliver the goods.  A “pound of flesh” if you will, and certainly a hefty price to pay.

Page Six described the project as an, “at-home with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex-style.” An official release date has yet to be announced.  Netflix wants the series to coincide with Prince Harry’s memoir release at the end of 2022. However, the Sussexes prefer to push the release into 2023. A producer confirmed, “the timing is still being discussed, things are up in the air.”

The bottom line is Meghan and Prince Harry received a staggering amount of money from the streaming giant and are expected to deliver the goods, a.k.a. access to their lives and potentially to the royal family as well.  Word is that the couple’s Montecito, California home isn’t off limits either.

Netflix film crew followed the couple during their trip to New York City in September 2021.  More recently, Meghan and Harry were being filmed at the Invictus Games in the Netherlands.  That footage will create a mini film called, “Heart of Invictus.”

“I think it’s fair to say that Netflix is getting its pound of flesh,” a Hollywood insider told Page Six.

Meghan’s animated series “Pearl” was scrapped last month, along with a laundry list of shows that Netflix axed in the hopes of off-setting massive financial losses amid lowering viewership. Archewell Productions was meant to play a pivotal role in “Pearl” with Meghan as executive producer.  Sir Elton John’s husband David Furnish was to join her.  The show was centered around the activities of a 12-year-old girl who found inspiration from famous historical women.

So while the story of a young girl, presumably modeled off Meghan herself, didn’t really sell, access to the royal family will.  The couple popped in to see the Queen just before her 96th birthday en route to the Netherlands.  Harry was paid handsomely for a post-visit interview where he shared some private conversations with his grandmother.  He also famously claimed that he wanted to make sure the monarch was well taken care of.

That visit with the Queen scored the couple an invite to the Platinum Jubilee next month.  This event is meant to celebrate the monarch’s 70 year reign, a celebration of her life of service.  Presumably, Meghan and Harry plan to use the event to officially introduce 11-month old daughter Lilibet Diana to the great-grandmother that she was named after.

However, the Palace officially announced that the Sussexes will not be appearing on the royal balcony on opening day. What a media circus that would be. Presumably, palace insiders and courtiers are concerned about privacy and whether the couple will be trailed by film crew or recording devices.  Because with a multi-million deal on the line, Meghan and Harry must deliver.  And their main selling point seems to be unfiltered access to the royal family. Time to merch!

The Bachelor Alum Ben Higgins Discusses Abstaining From Sex Before Marrying Jessica Clarke

Ben Higgins and his then-fiancée Jessica Clarke made an unusual (for Bachelor Nation) decision in their relationship that Ben says ultimately strengthened their bond before marriage.

During an appearance on the Talking It Out podcast (as relayed by People), the former Bachelor star opened up about how the couple “successfully accomplished” their “mission” to abstain from pre-marital sex. Ben also explained how this journey made them stronger.

“There’s multiple angles to why that decision was made, right,” Ben began. “I think people hear it from the outside and they assume it was strictly a faith decision. A religious decision might be the better way to explain that. It wasn’t solely that.”

“We both believe in Jesus. That is something that is at the foundation, the corner of our life. It is what we try to have everything come out of,” he continued. “We also, because of that, do believe that sex is sacred. We believe it is something very powerful. Something very important to consider and hold dear, to talk about, to express. We also believe it’s an awesome thing. It’s a gift.”

Ben, who starred on Season 20 of The Bachelor (after making his initial appearance on Season 11 of The Bachelorette) was previously engaged to Lauren Bushnell. And while Ben had previously engaged in physical intimacy, Jessica had not. This led to a conversation between the couple to decide how they would proceed forward.

“We both talked it out and said, ‘What is the wise thing to do here for us?’ ” he said. “It was, ‘Hey, you’ve worked so hard to keep this moment special for you, and I have had failed relationships where that has been a part of my life. And so, let’s try. Like, let’s see what happens there because we have a whole life together.’ ”

But that plan had its challenges, especially when the COVID-19 pandemic began. Ben said the couple, who got engaged in March 2020, “didn’t think COVID was going to shut down our wedding.”

“So the question was, what came of that? . . . It wasn’t easy. So it forced us to grow stronger together in our commitment to each other,” Ben continued. “It also got us really excited for when we did get married. There was something very special there. Something that we were going to work through as a married couple when we had already committed our lives to each other.”

Ben went on, “Finally, I think there was a level, too, where because that physical part of our relationship was not an option, it forced us and allowed us to communicate with our words a lot easier. So we talked things out.”

Ben and Jessica exchanged vows in November 2021  in Nashville, Tennessee.

As their relationship continues to progress, welcoming children together is hopefully in their future. Ben has previously been quoted as saying,  “It’s in the back of my head a lot that I really want a family.”

Wishing these newlyweds the best!
