Grab your Eggos and don't let go because we're heading to the Upside Down. Created by brothers Matt and Ross Duffer, Stranger Things came out in 2016 and quickly became a pop...The breakup between Lala Kent and Randall Emmett just took a dark turn. Previous revelations made by the Vanderpump Rules star painted a picture of a controlling narcissist. But Lala’s latest confession goes even further and alleges that he got physical with her during an altercation.
As reported by Page Six, Lala was interviewed by the Los Angeles Times for the explosive new exposé on Randall. According to Lala, when she confronted him about cheating allegations and tried to grab his phone, he tackled her. Lala revealed, “He ran after me, tackled me and knocked me to the ground. I used every ounce of strength to get him off of me as he was trying to pry it from my hands.” She added, “That was when I knew, for sure, that there was a lot he was hiding.” The outlet noted that five people confirmed that Lala had told them about the confrontation.
Lala and Randall became engaged in 2018 and ended up breaking up amid cheating rumors in October of 2021. After photos of Randall out in Nashville with multiple women surfaced, Lala quickly moved out. She also quickly deleted all of her pictures of him on social media.
For his part, Randall has denied that things ever got physical with Lala. His rep told the LA Times, “These allegations are false and part of a now-familiar smear campaign orchestrated by Randall’s ex-fiancée to sway their custody dispute. Lala Kent has lied and manipulated others in her desperate attempt to win full custody of her daughter, keep her name in the press, and remain relevant in reality television.”
Randall’s team also came to his defense by giving the publication a declaration from his nanny. She claimed that neither party was “on the ground” during the fight. His nanny stated, “I witnessed Randall and Lala fighting over his phone. The only physical interaction I saw was Randall taking back his phone from Lala.”
The couple share daughter Ocean Kent Emmett, who was born in March of 2021. Since the split, Lala has made it clear that she doesn’t wish to have any communication with Randall. She previously stated that they only communicate through a parenting app.
Lala told host Jeff Lewis on his SiriusXM show back in May that Randall once didn’t let her leave the house with Ocean for 12 days. She claimed, “He would threaten to call the police on me if I didn’t return her, and he would give me time periods that I could take her.”
Lala called the experience “horrific” and went on to say, “I don’t think he knew I was leaving. I think he needed to regain control of me.” Randall has denied that accusation as well with a statement from his rep. She asserted, “These claims are completely fabricated, and it’s disappointing that Lala continues to make up stories eight months after their breakup.”
The piece also accused Randall, a longtime Hollywood producer, of fraud and propositioning people for sex. He’s also been plagued with multiple lawsuits. A $10 million lawsuit against him is over an alleged unpaid loan on a film he produced. Another suit accuses him of “conspiracy to defraud” after going over budget on a film. Yet another production company slapped Randall with a suit for unpaid loans on a film that is still in production.
In 2021, he tried to get his child support for his two daughters from his previous marriage reduced. Court documents reveal that Randall owes approximately $500k to the IRS. His lawyer argued, “If Randall was forced to continue making these deposits,” that he’ll “fall deeper and deeper into debt and will be forced to file for bankruptcy.”

Hand em over. For months now, one of Erika Jayne’s many legal battles have been over a pair of earrings. The $750k diamond baubles, which are now worth approximately $1.4 million, were gifted to her by estranged husband Tom Girardi. But Tom stands accused of stealing millions from his clients’ settlement funds. The disgraced attorney and his firm had to file for bankruptcy and owe a staggering $500 million in claims. And they have to get paid back somehow.
As reported by Page Six, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star is now being forced to turn in the earrings. Back in January of this year, the bankruptcy trustee argued that the earrings were bought with stolen funds. Erika refused and the earrings were sitting in a safe deposit box that Erika was unable to access. But just this week, a judge on the case demanded she give them up. The judge noted that the “settlement funds from the trust account created for a class action handled by Thomas’ firm Girardi Keese were used to pay for the diamond earrings.” Meaning, they were bought with money that is alleged to be stolen.
The judge did add that he didn’t believe Erika knew they were purchased with misappropriated funds. But that she is still obligated to return them. A former attorney for the trustee stated, “The ruling was a major milestone in the quest to recover stolen assets by the Girardis. It does not matter whether Erika knew they were stolen client funds or not. This ruling will be used in the future aspects of the case and is now the law of the case.”
Erika’s lawyer, Evan Borges, fought back in his own statement. Evan told Us Weekly, “Once again, Erika is facing consequences for past actions taken by Tom Girardi and Girardi Keese. Erika did nothing wrong. In fact, the judge specifically found no fault or knowledge on the part of Erika regarding the actions by Tom Girardi and his partners at the law firm. Tom Girardi the lawyer did this.” He concluded, “Legally, the judge’s decision raises an important issue of whether the law allows revisiting transactions of 15 years ago to take away a gift received by an innocent spouse. But that’s for a higher court to decide.”
While originally named as a co-defendant in the case against Tom, Erika has since been dismissed from the embezzlement suit. She is still facing a $50 million suit for conspiracy to commit racketeering, which is just one of many other lawsuits against her. Erika has denied all wrongdoing and filed for divorce from Tom in November of 2020. Her filing came just a few weeks before news broke of Tom’s alleged fraud.
Erika told Page Six back in May, “I like where I’m going to end. It’s going to be fine. Even if I didn’t feel that way, I’d still tell you I felt good about it. But I really do. It’s going to be just fine.”

When will Lisa Rinna learn that words matter? Probably never. But her most pressing lesson should be in the epic words of Dorinda Medley, “Say it, forget it. Write it, regret it.” Because Lisa will surely regret writing her latest social media thoughts. And while she used her tried and true tactic of immediately deleting it, it lives on in screen shots. I’m starting to think she enjoys that part of the game the most.
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ latest throw down is between Garcelle Beauvais and newbie Diana Jenkins. When Diana singled out a Black content creator and rudely told her, “It can’t feel good being a Black content creator,” Garcelle was ready for her read. When she appeared on Watch What Happens Live, she called Diana “uneducated” and absolutely nuts.” Diana then made a long-winded post on Instagram about all the humanitarian work she has done in Haiti, Garcelle’s home country. As if that disqualifies her from saying terrible things.
Insert Rinna. Whose middle name should really be “insert” at this point because that’s all she does. In an Instagram story, she went off, despite this feud not involving her in the slightest. She already deleted it, but the fan account therealhousewiveszone has our back and posted the receipts. You know, since Lisa loooooves receipts. Lisa began, “We fight on our show if we fight with Garcelle we are all of a sudden called a racist.” This was not a good start in the least. But it gets worse!
Lisa continued, “That’s bullshit. I will not accept that. I will express myself when and how I want and I am not afraid of any of you hoes.” I’m not sure who she is calling a hoe but deleting your declaration of not being afraid kind of negates your argument of, well, not being afraid. She concluded with all the offensiveness of a clueless rich lady. Lisa sniped, “And if you’re just so triggered by our show and a lot of you pussies are…Go watch [Real Housewives of] Dubai.” And what exactly is that supposed to mean?
The ladies of RHODubai would like to know too. They quickly joined the conversation to hold Rinna accountable for her dig. Queens of Bravo caught the ladies’ responses. Chanel Ayan tweeted, “Rinna Africa called and they want their lips back! Keep Dubai out of your mess and your mouth.” Caroline Brooks tagged Lisa and asked, “Why did you mention our show in your post? What did you mean by ‘go watch Dubai’? hmmmmm.” Lesa Milan also chimed in with an important message. She wrote, “She does not want this heat, we’re not BH. We will drag her from right up off that doctor’s table to the desert!” Chanel responded, “The desert heat hits different” and tagged Lisa.
Looks like another Housewives quote is necessary. From the incomparable Kandi Burruss: “Don’t start none, won’t be none.” And Lisa started. So Godspeed, Lisa. Feel free to run wild with expressing yourself and let the “hoes” on the internet handle the rest.

Introductions have been made, awkward moments had, and most importantly, rooms, assigned. Now that we're truly in the thick of Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip Ex-Wives Club,...Noella Bergener might be keeping her orange after all. Despite only hearing rumors (from Kelly Dodd no less) about casting, it seems that Noella is positioning herself for a redemption season. It happens a lot in Housewives – a rookie comes in and we all hate them. But by season 2, they have somehow won us over. Which may or may not be the case with Noella, but she is out here doing the work to expose her castmates off screen. In other words, she’s drumming up publicity.
Noella recently told Page Six of her first season, “It’s a weird world to be in. Like, my agony – people were almost jealous of it.” She points to the multiple times that her castmates accused her of being self centered on her own struggles without listening to theirs. Which were….ummm….what struggles did any of the other RHOC women face this season? Outside of Dr. Jen Armstrong’s marital issues? What am I missing?
On top of making history as the first Black and openly bisexual woman on RHOC, Noella faced scrutiny for her personal tragedies. Her husband left her, her child was diagnosed with a disability and her father died. All within the months before and during filming. She recalled, “The crazy thing was, a lot of times some of these conversations were shut down, which is infuriating. Like, I’m grieving my active divorce and being shut down by women.”
Noella continued, “These other women are suddenly judging me because, like, three months ago my husband just left and I have a feeling about that that day. How dare I not be done with that already and just stop with my annoying feelings and emotions!”
According to Noella, she came into this season with high hopes, especially when it came to Heather Dubrow. She noted, “I was probably the number one [fan] looking forward to Heather Dubrow. I was so pumped. I was so excited I DMed her like, ‘OMG I’m dead this is going to be so much fun!’”
Yeah, not so much. The two came to some serious blows when Noella accused Heather of pushing a crew member. All of her castmates sided against her. But she found some validation in an unlikely place – Kelly and Tamra Judge. The two former RHOC housewives recently took to the Jeff Lewis Live podcast and backed up Noella’s story. Straight from the producer Heather allegedly pushed!
Kelly called in to share, “You know [former producer] Thomas Kelly called all of us. And he said, to every single one of us…to Shannon [Beador], me..I don’t know what he said to you, Tamra. But I think he said the same thing. He said that Heather Dubrow did push him. That Terry [Dubrow] did push him against the wall. He said that Heather Dubrow is diabolical and that everyone was scared of her.”
Kelly and Tamra might be the biggest pot-stirrers of all time but this is definitely some tea. Kelly went on to explain what she believes to be an effort to protect Heather and Terry. She stated, “We all collectively think that [the production company for RHOC] Evolution was the one that was protecting the Dubrows.” I know Kelly and Tamra love to stir the pot, but I am living for this conspiracy theory.
So is this setting Noella up for a season of vindication? Probably not but this will be a continued battle if both Noella and Heather come back. In the meantime, Noella revealed that her divorce has been finalized. She’s still waiting on custody and spousal support decisions but she’s free to look for love again. Which she’s doing on Seeking.com, which was previously known as SeekingArrangement. The same site where she met her ex. Noella said she’s going to give the site another try because she believes in their dedication to “dating up.”

Wanna know what's happened to Wizards of Waverly Place's Alex Russo? You may not need to look any further than Only Murders in the Building character, Mabel. "I feel like...Dorit Kemsley’s former tagline was, “When you’ve traveled the world, you can speak in any accent you want.” The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star has long been scrutinized for her unique accent. Now Kelly Dodd is going to giving her hot take on the matter.
As reported by Reality Blurb, the fired Real Housewives of Orange County star weighed in on an episode of The Rick & Kelly Show. The YouTube show released a clip on Instagram where of Kelly and husband Rick Leventhal mock Dorit’s accent. The two were sporting matching cowboy hats and recapping the latest episode of RHOBH when Dorit came up.
Rick started by asking, “Where are you from, Dorit?” Kelly responded with a laugh, “She’s from Connecticut.” Rick clarified, “She’s from Woodbridge, Connecticut. She’s born and raised in Woodbridge.” Kelly went on to imitate Dorit. She answering in her Dorit accent and said, “Yeah, and this is how we talk collectively.”
Rick explained his disbelief stating, “I spent 25 years in New York City. I know a lot of people who live and work in Connecticut. They don’t talk like that.”Kelly continued to speak in Dorit and argued, “Her husband is British.”
Despite the accusation that her accent is fake, Rick mused that maybe Dorit’s accent is due to her parents being from Israel. He suggested maybe she is mimicking their accent. Kelly disagreed and said, “No, because they have her back … doing her swimwear line, and she talked just like you and I. I swear.” She’s likely referring to the video that surfaced of Dorit at one of her early swimwear shows in 2013. The clip from Videofashion features an interview of Dorit, minus any accent.
For her part, Dorit has long defended her distinctive way of speaking. She’s previously said that she’s influenced by husband PK Kemsley’s British twang, along with her parents’ accent. Dorit has faced so much criticism about her accent, she even related to Hilaria Baldwin when she was busted last year for allegedly faking an accent and Spanish heritage. Hilaria, who hails from Boston, was actually born “Hilary.”
After an old clip of Hilaria surfaced of her with an accent and fumbling for the word “cucumber,” the internet ate her alive. Dorit came to her defense. Said Dorit, “I feel bad for what she’s going through in the press at the moment. I don’t think she deserves it. I’ve had so much scrutiny over the way I speak, I’ve learned to ignore all the noise but at first it was really hurtful.”

Summer is about to get even hotter. That's because Sarah Hyland is set to host Peacock's new Love Island USA, E! News can exclusively announce. Based on the hugely popular U.K....Back in April of this year, former Real Housewives of Atlanta star NeNe Leakes filed suit against Bravo. She alleged that Bravo, along with the RHOA production company, Andy Cohen and parent company NBCUniversal fostered a hostile and racist work environment. Now it seems like both sides are trying to work out a settlement.
As reported by Page Six, an Atlanta judge granted both parties a 45 day-extension. The grant came after the defendants requested more time to “negotiate” the dispute. Court documents from June 24th reveal that the defendants filed a motion arguing that ongoing disputes are “already subject to arbitration in New York.” They cited contract agreements between them and NeNe as the reason.
Legal experts explain that arbitration is when two parties use an independent, impartial third party to settle. The motion noted that NeNe “disagrees” with the proposed arbitration. But that both parties are “in the process of negotiating this issue in an attempt to avoid the time and expense of a motion to compel arbitration” through their attorneys. Therefore, the judge signed the extension saying that it is “appropriate to complete these discussions.” The deadline on the extension is August 19th.
NeNe’s lawsuit was a Bravo bombshell. She claimed that she suffered years of racist behavior from former castmate Kim Zolciak, who is white. NeNe also alleged that when she complained to Bravo higher-ups, she was ignored. And eventually blackballed from work outside of Bravo. NeNe told TMZ in May, “I was constantly being retaliated against, being blacklisted, not able to work, being silenced, and so, you know, it was difficult to do.”
In the suit NeNe outlined instances where Kim was allegedly racist on camera. Kim called NeNe’s home a “roach nest,” said that castmate Kandi Burruss’ neighborhood was “ghetto,” and purportedly used a racial slur. Instead of being fired, NeNe argues that Kim was rewarded with her own spin-off. Kim recently responded to NeNe’s allegations. She stated, “[NeNe] knows what she’s saying is not true in regards to me. That’s ridiculous, and she knows it.” She then added, “I’ll deal with her when she’s done with them. You can’t say things that aren’t true and try to defame somebody.”
After 12 seasons on RHOA, NeNe announced her departure in September of 2021. She stated in part, “It wasn’t an easy decision for me. It was hard.”

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Teddi Mellencamp has been open about the fact that she was fired from the show after Season 10. Teddi had a rep for being boring on RHOBH, as co-star Sutton Stracke once noted.
Well, folks, Sutton wasn’t wrong. Teddi popped out of her father, musician John Mellencamp’s shadow, and tried to capture our interest for three seasons. Other than being Kyle Richards’ bestie and playing a pivotal role in “puppy gate,” Teddi didn’t have much going on.
Teddi texted producers, “I’ve trended on Twitter every single week from hate, and you aren’t giving me anything else but the negative. I need you to show my life in some other capacity.” The ax fell a weeks later, much to Teddi’s surprise.
Teddi has even blamed her lack of glam for her firing. The accountability coach admitted that she no longer misses being on RHOBH. Sure. Now she is co-hosting a podcast with former Real Housewives of Orange County star Tamra Judge, called Two T’s In a Pod.
Heavy. reported that Teddi discussed her father’s feelings about her being part of RHOBH on Melissa Gorga’s podcast, Melissa Gorga on Display. Teddi said, “The only thing that he really got annoyed with me is when I cried. Because in our family, we’re not–he does not do well with crying.”
She continued, “Unless something really terrible happens like there’s a death, like there’s not like crying, like you’re not having an argument and then you cry. And he could not understand my first season, like I think Erika [Jayne] said like something to me, and my eyes — I didn’t know how to handle it and he was like, ‘That’s not who you are, I’ve never known you to cry like that. What is happening?’” Teddi remarked. “I’m like, ‘I think it was the pressures of the camera. It was something added to it.’”
Not the sympathetic fatherly reaction I was expecting. Teddi added that her father would have preferred her to “take those girls down” instead of crying.
In February of 2018, Teddi discussed her father’s fondness for RHOBH during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live. “He actually called me today and goes, ‘I don’t know what my life is coming to because I had to call my assistant today to go what time is the Housewives on,’” Teddi stated. Apparently, John doesn’t enjoy Teddi squabbling with co-star Dorit Kemsley. Teddi’s famous father also wondered why Teddi wanted to sign up for a reality show.
“I think his reaction was kind of similar to anybody who says why would you do the show?” Teddi commented. “And I just said, ‘You know, I just have this feeling. I want to do it. I think there’s a lot of fun to be had. I think there’s a lot to learn and if I’m true to who I am then I can’t really have anything to lose,’” she said.
Teddi joined the Season 3 cast of Celebrity Big Brother, and even though her father didn’t understand what she was doing, he was behind her. Teddi was the first person evicted from the CBB house. Ouch!
According to heavy., Teddi talked about her father’s support on Entertainment Tonight Canada. “He was like ‘Teddi, we are so proud of you. Like you played the game with integrity and like that is the kind of daughter that I’m like so proud to have because that shows how I raised you and we didn’t always get to see the full you on Housewives and you showed who you are and I love you,’” Teddi shared. “And so that made me feel so good because that’s how I wanted to come out of this game,” she added.
