You could be the next owner of Erika Jayne’s notorious $1.4 million earrings. Earlier this month, we learned that a judge called for the reality star’s earrings to be auctioned off, and according to a report from Page Six, the time to start placing bids is quickly approaching.
If you’re worried about having to fork over $1.4 million, don’t worry, you have a few more weeks to save up your coins. According to the report, the earrings head to auction on December 7th. So, you can snag these up for that special someone on your Christmas list.
Although Erika filed an appeal to try to hang onto the earrings, the auction house expects all of the court proceedings to be settled by the live auction date, so they’re moving full steam ahead with preparing for bidding.
“They are quite possibly the most talked about jewelry in the world at the moment, which adds kind of an unknown excitement and interest factor,” Stephen Swan, vice president of John Moran Auctioneers, told the outlet.
“We haven’t established a starting bid yet, but because it’s a court-ordered sale, the starting bid is going to be very attractive,” he explained.
Of course, Erika has claimed that her disgraded ex-husband Tom Girardi paid $750,000 for each earring. However, we might not have to pay that much when it comes time for the auction. The gemologist for the auction house called Erika’s $1.4 million figure to be an “unfounded number” that’s “based on clearly nothing.”
The shady gemologist continued, “The original grading was done in 2004, and those need to be updated.”
The auction house predicts that once the appraisal is completed, the updated price tag of the notorious earrings will come out lower than the dollar amount Erika has been tossing around. Still, they think the pop culture relevance associated with the diamond earrings will play a factor in the starting bid.
“What an exciting moment to have these and to own these,” the auction house president said to Page Six. “They are definitely a phenomenon in our culture right now, and what better of a dinner party conversation-starter than to be able to show them off.”
All of the proceeds from the sale will be given to Tom’s bankruptcy trustee, and whoever ends up with these earrings will have to verify to the auction house that they can actually afford them.
“If you are a first-time bidder and don’t have history with us and are looking to bid on higher-value objects, we do ask for either proof of funds, possibly a deposit, verification, or proof that you have bid at another auction house,” they explained. “We’re just making sure that you aren’t going to bid and then walk away from this.”
The Los Angeles-based auction house will begin accepting absentee bids online and in person next month. And when its’ time for the live auction in December, bidders can either attend in-person or join virtually, as long as your checkbook is ready. Maybe we’ll see Diana Jenkins bid on these bad boys since she recently took an interest in donating funds to help Tom’s victims. Or perhaps the earrings will end up in Andy Cohen’s Watch What Happens Live clubhouse? Only time will tell, but we’ll definitely be tuning in to see what finally happens to these legendary earrings.

Attention pop culture fans: It's time to get your vote on! The nominees for the 2022 People's Choice Awards are finally here. The star-studded list spans 40 categories across TV, movies, music and...The moment we’ve been waiting for has finally come: the all-new cast of season 14 of Real Housewives of New York City has been revealed. Did you know? Do you care?
It feels like it’s been ages since we’ve had new episodes of the beloved New York City Housewives, and fans have been dying to hear an announcement about RHONY: Legacy, or the “The Loser Legacy” as Ramona Singer recently called it. But, the news of the next-gen cast came during one of the Watch What Happens Live episodes taped at BravoCon 2022. Page Six covered the news and got all the scoop on the newest members of the Bravo family.
During the second day of BravoCon, Andy Cohen introduced the new RHONY ladies to a packed crowd at the Manhattan Center. The new cast consists of Sai De Silva, Jenna Lyons, Erin Dana Lichy, Ubah Hassan, Brynn Whitfield, Jessel Taank, and Lizzy Savetsky.
Sadly, there are no countesses or princesses in the new lineup, but the RHONY casting team has worked hard to figure out this new show. They reportedly struggled to find a cast as they sought an “organic, diverse group of friends” based in Manhattan who live “sophisticated, aspirational lifestyles.” Finally, after an exhaustive search, they found their golden apples. So, who are these ladies that Bravo worked so hard to find?
The first cast member we heard about was Lizzy, which was leaked over a month ago. Lizzy is an influencer and a mother of three who, according to Entertainment Tonight, was previously rumored to be joining the Real Housewives of Dallas cast for season 6. However, RHOD got put on pause before that could happen, and Lizzy moved from Texas to New York City. Surely, that timing is just a convenient coincidence.
While all of the new RHONY ladies have thousands of Instagram followers, perhaps the most familiar face in the new lineup of Housewives is Jenna Lyons. She’s famous for being the former president of J. Crew. And similarly to our New York City OG Bethenny Frankel, Jenna starred in a short-lived reality show on HBO Max.
One area where Bravo nailed it for season 14 of RHONY is including women from diverse backgrounds in the cast. We wanted the show to reflect the diversity of New York City for so long, and it’s finally happening. For example, fashion publicist Jessel Taank is making history as the first Indian Real Housewife. She shared a celebratory post on her Instagram on the day of the cast announcement, “The revolution will be televised!! It’s an honor to be the FIRST Indian to be cast in this franchise.”
Newbie Ubah Hassan is a Somali-Canadian model who, according to Page Six, released a hot sauce line last year. So, it sounds like she’ll fit right in with the historic tradition of RHONY culinary business ventures.
With 386K followers, Afro-Latina content creator Sai De Silva joins RHONY with the biggest Instagram following out of all of the newbies. She’s known for her YouTube channel, Scout the City, where she posts about all things fashion. On Instagram, Sai self-describes as a “funny fashion girl.” However, we all know that Sonja Morgan will always be RHONY’s original funny fashion girl.
Erin Dana Lichy leads a design firm in the city called HomeGirl, and according to her Instagram bio, she’s also a “top real estate agent” in New York City and the Hamptons. A quick scroll through her feed shows that she’s all about family, with frequent snaps of her husband and three kids.
Last but not least in the new lineup of New York Housewives is Brynn Whitfield. She’s a corporate communications and marketing consultant, and she’s already got the apple emoji in her Instagram bio.
Season 14 of The Real Housewives of New York City is currently in production, and we can expect the new season to land on Bravo sometime in 2023. These ladies have some big shoes to fill, and we’ll see what happens.

Melissa Villaseñor left Saturday Night Live on her own terms. In September, it was announced that the comedian—who joined SNL in as a featured player in 2016 before being upgraded to main cast...If there’s one thing we know about Real Housewives of Potomac’s Candiace Dilliard-Bassett, it’s that she does not play around. She said it best, “we don’t play in the P, honey!”
Season 7 of the Housewives’ best franchise is just underway and we’re already getting a glimpse into one of the season’s biggest feuds. Candiace, who’s married to Chris Bassett is known for her quick comebacks, iconic reads, and her lethal level of shade. This is why it pains me to see my girl Gizelle Bryant coming for her so hard out the gate because I know… Candiace is about to light her up. And it won’t be a pretty sight.
After telling Robyn Dixon that she felt uncomfortable by Chris’ actions during the taping of the season 6 reunion, Gizelle eventually confronts Candiace about her husband’s questionable behavior. For those that may not be caught up yet, Gizzy has told some of the cast members that Chris asked to speak with her privately in her dressing/hotel room while in NYC. Gizelle revealed that she let Chris in because she thought her glam squad was present at the time. When she noticed that they weren’t, she said that’s when she started to feel uncomfortable and felt like Chris was trying to see if “she was with it.”
Immediately, Candiace started to shut this conversation down because she wanted to protect her husband. Very admirable. And I think her reaction in that scene was warranted. I don’t understand what Gizelle is trying to do here. She knows how to play the game and she’s better than this. I mean, she’s reaching like Elastagirl and it’s not a good look. At all.
Candiace finally broke her silence by tweeting about the episode saying, “The first & most relevant thing I can say is that it’s hard to say anything at all because I #supportwomen, I #believewomen, and I support #metoo.”
“I can’t tell a woman how to feel about a man’s presence in her orbit. We are entitled to our feelings and they should never be diminished or questioned,” she continued.
I’m glad Candiace addressed this in her statement. Trying to figure out how to move forward with this conversation I’m sure can be tricky because no one wants to discount or dismiss the feelings of anyone who says they were impacted by someone’s behavior. She adds that Sunday’s episode and the ones to follow will showcase a “feral gutter snipe attempt to upend and dismantle these pillars that women have worked so hard to establish.”
She takes a final jab at Gizelle finishing with, “… You are not a victim. What you are is a calculated slab of misery creating the next generation of snipes through the fine example your children have to mirror. We are all in danger.”
Whew. I told you Candice wouldn’t mince her words. I actually don’t know how to feel here. It’s hard because as Candiace said, I believe anyone who comes forward with a story like this. But to Candiace’s point, if you are all friends and have drank together, broken bread together, and so on… why not bring it up to them privately? Like friends? Or was it all in the name of “entertainment” as she stated? I’m unsure, but I’m definitely watching this season closely to see what else Gizelle has to say.

Every time actress Selma Blair performed in the Dancing with the Stars ballroom, she did so with grace and determination. Selma signed on to Season 31 of DWTS knowing that she would be dealing with her multiple sclerosis symptoms.
The disease affected Selma’s movement and balance. Her first dance with Sasha Farber during the DWTS premiere was a fluid Viennese Waltz. Some of the contestants, as well as judge Carrie Ann Inaba, cried.
For Disney week, Sasha and Selma danced a fun quickstep. Judge Len Goodman labeled the routine a “proper Disney dance.” The duo earned 32/40 points from the judges.
Unfortunately, Selma had to withdraw from the DWTS competition on October 17, 2022. In a pre-taped package, Selma broke the news to Sasha. “You know I’ve been monitored and in touch with my doctors this whole process. I had these MRIs and when the results came back, it just all adds up to I can’t,” Selma said. “I pushed as far as I could.”
Selma explained, “With a chronic illness, you do have special considerations and my body is definitely taking a hit. It’s way too much for the safety of my bones,” the actress said.
Sasha and Selma danced a final, beautiful waltz as their fellow cast members cried. Len remarked, “If the others have climbed hills, you have climbed mountains.” Judge Bruno Tonioli said, “You really have inspired millions of people. Your star has never shone brighter.”
The judges gave their final scores to the duo, even though they didn’t count for the competition. They received a 40/40, which was a sweet send-off for Selma. The actress also shared an emotional lesson with her son, Arthur, who was in the ballroom supporting his mother. “Arthur, I love you the most and I just want to say, I loved this,” she commented. “And sometimes there’s going to be uncomfortable things to do in life and you just do it with a smile,” Selma added.
Now one of Selma’s friends who came to support her in the ballroom is sharing her feelings. Page Six reported that Buffy the Vampire Slayer star Sarah Michelle Gellar posted a throwback photo with her friend on Instagram. She also wrote a lovely message to Selma.
“Long before @dancingwiththestars I knew you were a ten, and now the world knows. Selma, I’ve never been so proud of you (and I’m often proud of you,)” Sarah Michelle wrote.
“You make the rest of us believe that we can do anything,” Selma’s Cruel Intentions co-star said. “That we can never give up.” Sarah Michelle also shouted out Sasha in the caption. She thanked him “for making this experience … pure joy.”
She continued, “I will miss getting to watch the happiness radiate from Selma each week as she stepped on stage with you. Thank you for that gift.” Sarah Michelle added, “And speaking of gifts — @selmablair your love and friendship is the greatest gift. I love you, Blair,” she added.

Lisa Hochstein might be going through one hell of a divorce, but that doesn’t mean she’s given up on marriage. After news broke that the Real Housewives of Miami star and her husband Dr. Lenny Hochstein were splitting up, things have been nothing short of contentious.
Now Lisa is revealing to Page Six that she still wants to get married again in the future when this is all over. During an interview at BravoCon 2022, Lisa stated, “Of course I want to get married again. I don’t want to be alone in this life. I want to have a life partner. I’m a relationship girl. I like to have a life partner. I like to have someone to share my experiences with.”
Despite being candid about a future marriage, Lisa was coy when it came to the possibility of a new man. “When the right person comes around, when my Prince Charming comes around, maybe I’ll reveal him, maybe I won’t, maybe you’ll meet him on the next season. I don’t know,” Lisa shared.
After two kids and 12 years of marriage, Lisa found herself “blindsided” by Lenny’s announcement that they were getting divorced. At the same time, the aging plastic surgeon revealed that he was dating 26 year-old model, Katharina Mazepa.
It was reported that Lisa and Katharina allegedly got into a verbal confrontation at a Miami club prior to the divorce news. And since then, Katharina filed a restraining order against Lisa. Katharina’s rep asserted in August that Lisa made up claims about Katharina “solely for the purpose to harm Katharina’s physical safety, emotional well-being, reputation and business.”
But Lisa denied Katharina’s accusations. The mom of two responded, “Regarding his girlfriend, I am working with my attorney on a legal response to her ridiculous allegations which everyone knows are untrue.” She added, “What a waste of their time and money.”
Regardless, Lisa has taken something positive from the ordeal. “I learned that I am super strong. I did not think I had the strength inside of me to get through this. I really thought, like, ‘How could I possibly get through this?’ And now, I’m really proud of myself because I am starting to come out of it finally.”
Lisa concluded, “It’s been six months. I don’t feel 100 percent, but I’m getting better, and I have such a great support system.”

Get ready to smell what The Rock is cooking. NBC's Young Rock returns for another hilarious season on Nov. 4, and E! News has your exclusive first look at the beginning of young Dwayne Johnson's...
Sam Jaeger thinks a happy ending is probably too much to ask for. The actor, who plays U.S government operative Mark Tuello on Hulu's The Handmaid's Tale, knows better than to expect anything...Not so fast! Former Real Housewives of Potomac star Monique Samuels has found herself in the press recently. And not for a good reason. Multiple outlets have reported that she and husband Chris Samuels are headed for a divorce. But the mom of three isn’t about to let her decade long marriage go down the drain.
As reported by Page Six, Monique took to her YouTube channel to offer some clarity on the gossip. She began, “It’s no secret that Chris and I have been struggling in some areas of our marriage and anybody who watched Love & Marriage: DC last year, y’all saw the arguments, y’all saw everything that was going on.”
Monique continued, “It was a lot of confusion, it was crazy building up to that 10-year marker of our marriage and when you’ve been married that long and when you have things that you’re like ‘Listen, this is being unmet or I’ve been unheard’ you start to get frustrated and it’s like ‘Oh my god, is this what life is going to be? I can’t take it anymore.’ So what y’all saw on Love & Marriage: DC last season, it was my cry for help.”
As for the problems the couples faced, Monique says that she felt like Chris wasn’t listening to her. She added that she has always been “100 percent” real, even when she knows she’s “going to be judged.” Said Monique, “So we’ve done a great job at being transparent with everyone that’s either watched us on social media or on the show — on either show – the fact that people are praising a rumor of divorce or a possible dissolution of a marriage. That’s sad that people were praising that, it’s sad that people were excited about it and then you know, you have a lot of people who love and support our family who are devastated.”
She also doesn’t want people to fall for the rumors. “Without further explanation, everyone knows that when you say the words separation, that insinuates a divorce. Are Chris and I getting a divorce? No! We aren’t getting a divorce. Are we going our separate ways? Absolutely not, nobody said that. Have we filed a legal separation? No. Have we filed for divorce? No. Is there any document that proves any divorce filings? No. Have we separated to the extent of breaking up? No.”
The couple claim that they wanted to show how they were working on their marriage for the upcoming season of Love & Marriage: DC. But they had to address the issues once news of their issues leaked. Monique shared that she and Chris went to counseling both together and separately. “We decided we were going to spend a couple of nights apart while we were on our counseling journeys. We’ve been communicating a lot better than what we have in a long time,” she noted.
Monique then made herself crystal clear on their marriage. “We are most definitely still together, we haven’t given up on our marriage, we did not break up and we are not looking to divorce. We are simply trying to be better,” she maintained.
For his part, Chris didn’t say much, but did offer up that he wasn’t happy with what was being said out there. He expressed that “it’s very disappointing and it’s a shame that people would put stuff out without fact-checking.”

(Warning: This article features spoilers for House of the Dragon.) House of the Dragon is only heating up. After the Game of Thrones prequel's season one finale—which saw a particularly saddening...Camille Grammer has entered the chat. She might be long gone from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, but leave it to Ms. Donatacci to throw plenty of shade on about the cast. This time she clapped back at Kyle Richards, who made some disparaging comments about Camille on a recent episode of Watch What Happens Live.
During the show, Kyle took aim at Camille’s Twitter handle, @TheRealCamilleG by suggesting that Camille was anything but real. Kyle asked host Andy Cohen, “Isn’t that any oxymoron?”
As reported by Page Six, Camille took to Twitter to dunk on Kyle with a side-by-side photo of Kyle’s old face. Said Camille, “I’ll give her ‘oxymoron’ mocking my Twitter name. Who’s the ‘real’ KR.”
While it might have been a justified burn, fans didn’t love Camille coming for Kyle’s looks. One user wrote, “This is so LOW!!!! Like she’s so much more successful than you will EVER BE!” Camille doubled down and showed another throwback photo of Kyle saying, “How’s this?”
But Camille has plenty of fans who were willing to back her up. One wrote, “How is it low? It’s public domain. Kyle is a public figure. She wants to be sassy on tv, she can take sassy back.” Another added, “How is this low? It is merely Kyle’s face in its ‘factory settings’, as the good lord made her.”
The former and current housewife have shared animosity for one another for years. Most recently, Camille accused Kyle of being the one to start rumors in 2019 about Erika Jayne and Tom Girardi’s financial issues. In October of 2021, Camille tweeted, “To set the record straight it was Kyle who told me Tom was in trouble during @Andy baby shower.” She added, “I was surprised that Kyle was acting chummy chummy with Erika. Erika even when [sic] on to call Kyle the Queen of #RHOBH Crazy rt [sic]?!?!”
Kyle has denied the claim and invoked long-gone RHOBH star Lisa Vanderpump, saying that she and Camille were out to get her. How did LVP get dragged into this?
While I don’t agree with Camille going after the looks of others, I certainly appreciate her dedication to always putting in her shady two cents. Which is something I would love to see full-time on RHOBH again. Are you listening, Bravo?

Not the deal. Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Claudia Jordan has joined a long list of former Deal or No Deal models that have voiced opposition to Meghan Markle’s comments about her experience on the show. Since the episode aired, former participants of the show and entertainment industry have questioned Meghan’s recollections. Heck, even Whoopi Goldberg has gotten involved.
The Duchess of Sussex made headlines, yet again, when she claimed participating on Deal or No Deal made her feel like a “bimbo.” The explosive comments were heard on a recent episode of Mehgan’s Archetypes podcast, during which Meghan discussed stereotypes against females with reality TV pioneer Paris Hilton.
Add RHOA alum Claudia to the lineup. As Suitcase Girl #1 for all four seasons of the show, Claudia only had good things to say about Deal of No Deal, and its Executive Producer Howie Mandel.
According to an article by Deadline, Claudia took to her Instagram Stories to write, “For clarity — yes getting a modeling gig on a game show isn’t necessarily about your intellect but every show the executive producers picked five models with the most outgoing and fun personalities to place mics on who they knew would engage with the contestants.”
A subsequent post read, “And Deal or No Deal never treated us like bimbos. We got so many opportunities because of that show.”
Claudia added that it’s all about perspective and showing up with the right attitude. She continued, “That’s the kind of opportunity that is what you make it. If you just show up and don’t engage then you’ll just get your check and not get much out of it but if you show up and seize your moments then there’s no limits to what you can do with the opportunity.”
The gig paid “all her bills” and Claudia credited the show as a stepping-stone in her career. Though she disagrees with Meghan, Claudia made it clear that her comments are not an “attack on Meghan cause Lord knows I’ve been defending this woman in the media for years and I still will but I just didn’t want any misunderstanding about the climate and environment on the Deal or No Deal set.”
According to Claudia, the atmosphere on the show was set by the higher ups. She claimed to be, “especially protective of Howie Mandel who was nothing but kind and respectful to all 26 of us.”
Deadline included Meghan’s original statements about the NBC game show. “I was surrounded by smart women on that stage with me, but that wasn’t the focus of why we were there,” she said on her podcast. “And I would end up leaving with this pit in my stomach, knowing that I was so much more than what was being objectified on the stage. I didn’t like feeling forced to be all looks and little substance. And that’s how it felt for me at the time, being reduced to this specific archetype.”

It's Tamar Braxton like you have never seen her before. On Oct. 24, the singer will return to reality TV when she enters The Surreal Life house. And before you make assumptions about how she will...Real Housewives of New Jersey has officially wrapped filming and you know what that means! Time to drum up some publicity. Or just continue on with feuds that happened over the season. Apparently, the perfect place to do both things was BravoCon 2022.
After video was released of Jennifer Aydin throwing a drink at their assistant and Joe Gorga, Melissa Gorga is now trying to give her side of the story. As reported by Page Six, Melissa took to her podcast On Display to go on the defense. According to Melissa, it all started when BraoCon guests kept telling her that on both days of the event, “another cast member” was “bashing” her.
Melissa seemed to take that and assume it was Jen, who claimed during one panel that the Gorgas were “holding on for dear life” when it came to their future on the show. Melissa and Joe joined RHONJ for season 2 and Melissa has been a full-time cast members for 11 years now. For her part, Jen arrived on season 9 in 2018. The two have been at odds ever since, especially given that Jen has aligned herself with Teresa Giudice.
On her podcast, Melissa advised Jen, “First of all, stay in your lane. Second of all, I’m not sure which show you’re watching.”
The drink throwing incident came at 1 a.m. at a hotel lobby where the majority of the Bravolebrities were staying. Melissa said that she and Joe were in the lobby with their team when Jen and her assistant walked in.
Melissa alleged that Jen had a “snarky stare in [her] eyes” as she walked by. This caused Melissa to taunt, “Keep moving, wannabe. Come on, loser, just keep walking. There’s the elevator.” But Melissa maintained that there was “no yelling or screaming” but that Jen “did not like” Melissa’s remarks. The longtime RHONJ star also insinuated that Jen wasn’t sober coming from a BravoCon party.
As the situation escalated, Melissa said that Jen began “screaming,” “yelling” and “cursing” in the direction of the Melissa and Joe, who were supposedly “still by the front door.” She explained, “My assistant, somebody that I work with, walks over to [Jennifer]. He goes, ‘You’re acting like trash. You can’t do this. Go inside. Stop yelling. Why are you acting like trash? Get out of here.'”
Melissa went on, “She freaked out that he said that, OK? Joe is now seeing her freak out, and Joe — and I have to say, I don’t think we give Joe enough credit, and he’s 100 percent wrong sometimes — but he literally said, ‘I don’t even know how this dirty b–ch is on the show.’ He did say that out loud, but he said it to the other people we were talking to. Is he right? No, but he said that.” Yikes! So which part are we giving him credit for? Calling another woman a dirty b–ch?
It was that insult that really set Jen off, causing her to throw the contents of her plastic cup on Melissa’s assistant. “By the way, she should probably take care of his dry cleaning bill,” Melissa suggested with annoyance. She claimed that Jen was then “escorted” up to her room.
Prior to Melissa’s statement on the matter, Jen’s assistant had a different take on the matter. Her assistant shared, “We walk in, Jennifer obviously noticed Melissa Gorga and Joe and their team were in the lobby. She looked, looked away [and] went straight for the elevator. There was no interaction on Jen’s part.” Video of the moments after the drink was thrown showed Jen telling the Gorgas, “Stay away! You call me trashy and low-class? She started [it]!”
But Melissa places the blame solely on Jen, noting that Jen created “tension that’s unnecessary at a celebratory event.”

Fans have spent months hearing about just how difficult this season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills was for the cast. And now that the season has aired, we understand why. The drama reached a fever pitch during the now infamous cast trip to Aspen. After a night out, Lisa Rinna accused Kathy Hilton of having a “absolute meltdown” when they went back to Kyle Richards’ house alone.
What followed was Rinna revealing that Kathy allegedly made disparaging comments about the cast, along with saying she would take down Kyle and her family. In a tense scene in a later episode, Kathy apologized to Kyle and the two hugged and agree to move on. Then Rinna showed up and wouldn’t let it go, telling Kathy that she wouldn’t get away with this.
Now castmate Dorit Kemsley is sharing just how hard it was for Kyle to see things play back while the series aired. Dorit told Us Weekly, “It’s been hard for Kyle, I’m not gonna lie. There was a point in time where she had to stop watching the show. You know, it was really intense for her.” I hate to be so snide, but yeah, we know. Kyle has told us about a million times how it impacted her. And no mention of how these allegations might have affected Kathy. Who let us not forget, was the subject of Rinna’s bullying.
Much like the season, Dorit noted that season 12 had the “most intense reunion” that the cast has ever shot. But she’s unwavering in her support for Kyle. “I’m there for [Kyle]. She’s got a wonderful family and support system. It’s always far more difficult when family’s involved,” Dorit shared.
The sixth season housewife concluded, “I like to be very optimistic. I know they love one another. They’re sisters and they’re gonna be OK. And even if they have a few challenges ahead of them, at the end of the day, I believe that they will be OK.”
Kathy recently shared a similar sentiment. She said of her current relationship with Kyle, “We’re texting back and forth. Things seem better. The texts end with a little heart. We’re going to have to work on it and spend some time on the relationship. But she needs to sit down and hear from me what I really said.”
The well-known socialite also gave Us Weekly an update while at BravoCon 2022. “I think that, sure, [there’s a chance at reconciliation]. I mean, we love each other. We’re sisters. Nobody’s gonna come between us at the end of the day,” Kathy stated.
