Vanderpump Rules Star Tom Sandoval And Raquel Leviss Created Code Names For Each Other On Phones

Most Vanderpump Rules fans did not know that Raquel Leviss was named Rachel at birth. It all came to light from the fallout of Raquel’s affair with Tom Sandoval. The former beauty pageant queen filed a temporary restraining order against her co-star Scheana Shay. In those documents, James Kennedy’s ex-fiance used her legal name, Rachel. Rachel Leviss.

And it seems denying her stage name is being weaponized. A bit of a slap down, if you will. Or a reality check perhaps.

Scheana’s lawyer, Neama Rahmani, never missed an opportunity to call the VPR jezebel “Rachel” in his statements to the press. And there have been quite a few of those.

Peter Madigral is one of Raquel’s co-stars that refuses to use her stage name as of late. He was jilted by the infamous beauty after she went on two dates, then dumped him. She also called him a “starting pony” during an interview. She’s Rachel to him now.

But the name game doesn’t end there. It turns out, Raquel went by another alias after she started sleeping with Sandoval behind Ariana Madix’s back. TMZ reported that it was all sly Sandoval’s idea. His lover, whatever you want to call her, went along with it.

The illicit couple decided to assign different names to each other for the sake of their phone conversations. So what “most extra” name did Sandoval give his lady love? Was it something dramatic? Perhaps he went for some sort of sequin-evoking alias?

Nope. For their interactions, Raquel became “Jamie.” Sandoval was basic for once. The news outlet reported that some in their friend group knew about the fake names. And on a few occasions, the Schwartz & Sandy’s co-owner slipped up and called Raquel “Jamie” in public. Yikes!

It’s anyone’s guess what Raquel would have come up with for Sandoval. TMZ did not find out what Sandoval’s alias was.

This tidbit of information seemingly contradicts Sandoval’s claim that Ariana knowingly “turned a blind eye” to his indiscretions. And if he broke up with her prior to her finding a sexually explicit video of Raquel/Jamie on his phone, why bother to hide it? He had no problem smacking Raquel’s bottom on camera, so why the secrecy?

Here’s a theory. Sandoval and Raquel were more into role-playing. Flying under the radar and sparing Ariana some humiliation could have been a secondary concern.

Real Housewives Of Orange County Star Heather Dubrow Said Season 17 Was “Difficult” To Film Amid Tamra Judge’s Return

I cannot believe we are on Season 17 of Real Housewives of Orange County. I like to pretend I haven’t aged during this time, but the fact that most of the veteran Real Housewives are now grandmothers prevents me from living a lie.

The ladies of Orange County have had some not-so-great years. Was Elizabeth Lyn Vargas a result of mass hallucination, or was she really there? Not everyone is pleased with the main cast, but a few people have come back for their orange. Heather Dubrow was one. And I think Bravo is probably banking that returning Tamra Judge to the pits of fire will increase viewership.

Much to the dismay of Vicki Gunvalson, Tammy Sue is back full-time along with her former BFF Heather. I say “former” because someone or something in the media wants us all to believe Heather and Tamra are now fierce enemies and it will all play out to the delight of the audience. Except for a nagging little twinge in my brain still says, “It’s a trap” in Admiral Ackbar’s voice.

Heather said filming the new season with her old buddy was difficult, and Page Six shared the details. Heather gave some scoop on Tamra’s comeback on an episode of the Virtual Reali-Tea podcast. “It was a difficult season for me,” Heather said. Well golly, I hope the $50 million she has in the bank makes things easier for her to deal with.

She added, “I really hope that it’s the way that I remember it and I hope by the end that there can be some resolve for everyone. It’ll be interesting to see how it plays out.” Reports of a rough ride between Heather and Tamra have been coming out since filming began. Sources had no problem revealing Fancy Pants and Tammy Sue have been “butting heads” for most of the season with the denouement being, you guessed it, the cast trip.

We’ve already heard about the alleged “gang-up” that Tamra supposedly created in Mexico. Because what is a season of RHOC without Tamra screaming at the top of her lungs and engaging in aggressive table-sitting? Heather didn’t want to say too much and give away any details, but she was definitely thankful to return to her home and buckets of money after an intense day of filming.

Heather shared, “These shows are hard to do, they really are. But any time I was having a difficult moment, I was very cognizant of the fact that … I get to go home to my husband [Dr. Terry Dubrow] and my children.” Also important to mention, should stress appear on Heather’s face in any manner, Terry can quickly neutralize the situation and fix any visible signs of concern.

She explained that her life at home is “so fulfilling” and “so solid,” she can pretty much deal with anything her co-stars fling her way. “When things are upsetting and challenging, I can handle it,” Heather continued.

All of that said, Heather was initially excited her friend was coming back to the show. “I was excited that Tamra was coming back. Tamra is … ‘Orange County.’ She really is and she’s been on the show for so long and she’s added so much to the show. And I think will continue to do so for as long as she’s on.”

I guess this goes to show- be careful what you wish for – you just might get it. The RHOC ladies head back into fighting mode on June 7, 2023.

Tom Schwartz Pokes Fun At His “Unhinged Interviews” Defending Tom Sandoval Amid Cheating Scandal

Self-deprecating as ever. Tom Schwartz has no problem laughing at himself when it’s warranted. As ever, the laid-back Vanderpump Rules star can take some criticism with a smile.

Certainly, Schwartz’s behavior of late is worth critiquing. Defending his bestie, Tom Sandoval, hasn’t done him any favors. Sandoval conducting a seven-month-long affair with Raquel Leviss behind his girlfriend’s back is not defensible. Even for this crowd. And the public agrees.

So it’s no surprise that a comment posted to Schwartz’s Instagram called him out on his questionable appearance on Watch What Happens Live. He told Andy Cohen that VPR fans should “hugSandoval if they see him.

After the WWHL episode aired, Schwartz’s ex-wife Katie Maloney suggested he get “media training.” And it was this comment that a follower referenced when they commented on Schwartz’s social media post.

Us Weekly reported that on April 22, 2023 Schwartz posted photos of himself and the dogs he shares with Katie. He captioned the images, “Post a pure pic with the pups please? Absolute honor to be a part of your book supporting @wagsandwalks. Featuring my two favorite creatures on planet earth.”

A follower responded with a snarky comment. “I see we suddenly hired a PR team,” the fan wrote. “You can tell from my unhinged interviews I don’t have a PR team Lexi,” Schwartz responded.

Schwartz definitely took the heat for trying to defend his Schwartz & Sandy’s co-owner. Sandoval even managed to screw up an apology to Ariana Madix by addressing the backlash against his restaurant first.

RELATED: Vanderpump Rules Fans Think Tom Sandoval Grabbed Raquel Leviss’ Butt In Front Of Ariana Madix

When the Missouri native finally got around to addressing his ex-girlfriend, he created an intricate word salad and served it up on Instagram.

“I want to first and foremost apologize to everyone I’ve hurt through this process. Most of all, I want to apologize to Ariana,” Sandoval wrote. “I made mistakes, I was selfish and made reckless decisions that hurt somebody I love. No one deserves to feel that pain so traumatically and publicly. I can only imagine how devastating this has been for Ariana and everyone around us. I feel really horrible about that. My biggest regret is that I dishonored Ariana. I never meant to disappoint so many people, including our loving families and friends.”

It was about a month later that Schwartz appeared on the infamous WWHL episode. During the interview, he revealed exactly when he found out that Raquel and Sandoval hooked up.

“I learned about the affair in August. The one-night stand was in August and then it became, from my point of view, it became an emotional affair,” Schwartz explained. “Which is still inappropriate, but I didn’t think it was linear. [Then] in January, he came to me and told me that he was in love with Raquel.”

As for what Schwartz said in defense of his friend, it bordered on self-sabotage. “First of all, Ariana, love you. I know you don’t love me right now, but I still love you. And also, Tom, I know the whole world hates you. But I’m not going to abandon you, old buddy. I’m not going to abandon you. He knows he’s a monster for what he did,” Schwartz explained. “If you see him, maybe give him a hug. Even if he doesn’t deserve it, give him a hug. He’s down bad.”

Later, Andy shared some advice for the reality TV star on his SiriusXM show Radio Andy. “Now what I told him was, ‘Here’s how this works in an interview,’ and ‘This is difficult when you’re being interviewed.’ I am a talk show host who likes to fill dead air.” Andy continued, “However, I am also someone who has said too much, many, many times. … When there is a topic, I am not looking to make trouble for myself over or I think maybe I want to be concise here or I don’t want to get in trouble. I don’t want to get anyone else in any trouble. I need to be careful with my words that would have been the Tom Schwartz moment on Wednesday.”

Andy addressed Schwartz’s over-sharing and rambling. Something that Schwartz’s friend, Summer House star Kyle Cooke, thought was an interview strategy.

“So what you do, I told Tom Schwartz is, ‘You answer the question, and then you stop talking,” the WWHL host added. “And when you stop talking that means I have to say something and then I will either change the subject and ask a new question because you theoretically answered the question.’”

I mean, the dogs are cute. But Schwartz still needs media training.

Vanderpump Rules Star Lala Kent Says “Sick” Tom Sandoval Got Off On Raquel Leviss Kissing Tom Schwartz

Tom Schwartz’s kiss with Raquel Leviss served its purpose at the time. That is if you believe that Raquel and Tom Sandoval orchestrated the make-out sesh to throw their Vanderpump Rules co-stars off the scent of the real scandal.

And it worked. For months, all the talk was about Raquel and Schwartz. Yet all the while, Raquel was sneaking around with Ariana Madix’s boyfriend of nine years. They even had code names for each other on their phones. Yes, it was a slick operation. But some question how it was that Sandoval could accept his mistress kissing another man.

Lala Kent called Sandoval’s acceptance of Raquel kissing Schwartz at Scheana Shay’s wedding “gross.” Page Six reported that the VPR star made the comments during a recent episode of her Give Them Lala podcast.

The mother of one does not think that Sandoval responded in an expected fashion. He was not “jealous,” according to Lala. Rather, he seemed “gleeful” at the drama the kiss brought to the friend group. They “fixated on” it. Katie Maloney took the brunt of the emotional fallout.

Lala also suggested the Schwartz & Sandy’s co-owner got off on sharing his girl with Schwartz. “It’s, like, the grossness gets him off,” Lala opined. “It’s sick. It’s so sick.”

She then mimicked the Sandoval & The Most Extras frontman. “My girl, who I’m f–king behind the scenes, is now making out with my best friend,” Lala dramatized. She has stood by her theory for quite some time. When news that Raquel and Sandoval were sleeping together first broke, Lala put him on blast for “getting off on creeping around.”

RELATED: Vanderpump Rules Fans Think Tom Sandoval Grabbed Raquel Leviss’ Butt In Front Of Ariana Madix

“It’s that adrenaline rush, that high,” the Give Them Lala Beauty founder said on Heather McDonald’s Juicy Scoop podcast. “It just gives them this rush that they can’t get anywhere else.”

Sandoval and Raquel openly showed their affection for a short time. They were spotted smooching at LAX, as well as at a dinner date post-reunion. The pair took a lot of heat from their co-stars at that event. Security had to intervene.

Since then, Sandoval has attempted to repair his image. He claimed to be “good friends” with Raquel. Yet he shared they decided to take “a break” while on the Howie Mandel Does Stuff podcast.

Raquel has all but disappeared from the LA scene. Her rep announced that she has checked into a mental health facility. Lala hoped that this was not a “PR stunt” meant to “create this illusion for [haters] to back off.”

Meanwhile, Sandoval went out into the desert to find himself. He vacationed at Miraval in Arizona. He also put the resort on blast for not protecting his privacy.

“They claim to be a refuge for wellness and betterment, but that is obviously false,” Sandoval posted on Instagram. “They’d rather feed into the negativity and spectacle that has engulfed my life.”

The ever-outspoken Lala addressed the vacation claims. She would be “so offended” if Raquel was using a mental health narrative as a cover. According to Lala, Raquel is a “broken and lost soul” whose “f-ked up” choices indicate a need for therapy.

And who is out without a care in the world? Ariana, of course. She’s been linked to NYC-based personal trainer Daniel Wai. The two were canoodling at Coachella and at LAX earlier this week.

Survivor 44 Episode 9 Recap: Chaos Rains

In the aftermath of the major blindside of Brandon Cottom, Episode 9 of Survivor saw a lot of players jockeying for their final positions. It’s quite rare that there would be a tribe split of 3-3-3, but that’s exactly the scenario we found ourselves in at we reached this crucial stage in the game. And the evenness of it all led to mass chaos, even among the pouring Fijian rain that fell throughout this week’s episode.

Dark Cloud

Kane Fritzler could easily say that the rain may have been coming from that dark cloud that has followed him around all season. Lightning finally struck, in the form of seeing his torch getting snuffed after a “live” Tribal Council came to a close. As Kane mentioned, he’d been on the wrong side of every single vote, and he just couldn’t seem to find his footing.

He ended up sitting out during his final Immunity Challenge – along with Carson Garrett ,  Lauren Harpe and, Heidi Lagares-Greenblatt – to earn a big bag of rice for his tribe. Admittedly, Kane didn’t think he’d stand (pun intended) much of a chance once he found out what the challenge was, so winning rice was at least a nice consolation. And Kane’s parting words, “Enjoy the rice, you bitches!” will go down in Survivor infamy.

Clearly, Carolyn Wiger is still not being taken seriously as a player. Her correct assessment that there were much bigger threats than Kane was apparently ignored when Kane was sent to the jury anyways. Just as Kane was “woken up” in this game, he was put to sleep.

Ruining Ratu

Kane’s exit leaves the former Ratu Tribe in ruins. His only allies were Jaime Lynn Ruiz and Lauren and both of them left this Tribal Council demoralized, at best. Lauren held on to that “Extra Vote” advantage the entire game, only to squander it at Tribal. And Jaime believes that she just lost an Immunity Idol, having sent it out of the game along with Kane when she asked him to hang on to it (just in case someone played a “Knowledge of Power” advantage that could have possibly stolen it away).

May they take comfort in watching the show back, realizing that the Idol Kane had stuffed in his shoe was actually a fake Idol. Not playing it saved them both the embarrassment.

Danny Goes All In

If there was another major development during Episode 9, it was the public coming-out party for Danny Massa. The viewers had known that Danny was a savvy strategist and someone to watch, but he finally made that blatantly clear within the game as well. Danny had strong opinions when it came to sitting out of the Immunity Challenge, and wasn’t afraid to share them. He actively and openly searched for the hidden Immunity Idol (kudos to Heidi who not only found it but vowed to keep it a secret!). He then swore on his “Scout’s Honor” that he wouldn’t vote for any of the Challenge sit-outs, admitting publicly at Tribal Council, “Yeah, I was never in Boy Scouts.”

Danny made it clear that he is in this thing to win it. It’s a big gamble, as he’s a massive target moving forward. But the bright side of playing loud and out front is, if it works and you make it to the end, the jury won’t be able to deny him the million dollars.

Episode Take-Away

It was a big episode from the perspective of numbers and power shifts. The once mighty Ratu alliance has been decimated, and all advantages (real and fake) have been flushed. “The Three Stooges” alliance of Carson, Carolyn, and YamYam Arocho may feel like they’ve been steering the ship recently, but not getting Danny out of the game when they had the chance might end up being a huge thorn in their side. Or to use a Stooges reference, a poke in the eye.

Danny wanted to gain the numbers advantage over Ratu, and also feared their advantages. Now he has the numbers and the advantages are gone. Is he really going to stay targeted on Jaime and/or Lauren? I think not. He will likely turn his attention towards The Stooges, and they would be stupid if they weren’t looking to weaken Danny next. Carolyn’s Idol was a big reason to believe that she/they may come out on top of that battle, but now that Heidi has an Idol as well, things are looking quite even.

Lauren and Jaime will now be the likely “swing votes.” But neither have a great resumé nor are they in any positions of power. They have to know that Carson and YamYam betrayed them, but they’re not going to have many other options other than to still try to work with them.

But who do you target if you’re The Three Stooges? Danny is the obvious choice, but Frannie is proving to be one of the fiercest competitors in the game. She just won her second individual Immunity Challenge and had someone play an Idol for her. Frannie also has Matt Blankinship on the jury who will be doing everything in his power to sway the jury Frannie’s way (not that she needs it based on her merits, but it’s definitely a plus). So is Frannie the biggest threat and not Danny? How will Heidi’s Idol play into things?

So much more game to go, with just four episodes of Survivor 44 left!

Jennifer Aydin Explains Why She Called Margaret Josephs A “Boogawolf;” Real Housewives Of New Jersey Cast Reacts To Insult

Jackie Goldschneider has really been demoted on Real Housewives Of New Jersey as Jennifer Aydin has upgraded to the group’s reigning Merriam Webster. Jennifer added a new word to all of our vocabulary lists when she called Margaret Josephs a “boogawolf” on the cast trip to Ireland. Needless to say, both Jen’s RHONJ costars and the viewers were gobsmacked with the unique diss. However, being one-of-a-kind is Mrs. Aydin’s specialty.

Jennifer and the rest of the RHONJ crew talked about the “boogawolf” of it all during The Real Housewives of New Jersey: After Show. According to Bravo’s The Daily Dish, Jennifer explained that she didn’t come up with the word on her own. A friend of hers, who she described as being from the South, described Marge as a “boogawolf.” The friend apparently told Jen to save it in her own arsenal use during an inevitable battle of wits among frenemies. When Jen felt Marge was attacking her intelligence publically, she decided to spring a pop vocab quiz on her friends. It’s both unhinged and iconic.

Jennifer went on to give the definition of “boogawolf.” She describes it as a “very ugly, nasty person” or a “busted club chick.” Marge, always ready to retaliate, wasn’t impressed with the insult. “I have legendary club looks,” Marge stated. She went on to point out Jennifer’s “busted” chipped toenails and doubled down on calling her disheveled. “I am very maintained,” Marge quipped. This pairing will never not be entertaining to me.

RELATED: Real Housewives Of New Jersey Star Jennifer Aydin Says She “Never” Considered Ending Her Marriage After Bill Aydin Was Unfaithful

The rest of the RHONJ cast also elaborated on the After Show about Jennifer’s word choice. Dolores Catania, who is frequently annoyed by Jennifer, flat-out said that “boogawolf” is a “stupid f–king word.” I hate that I can literally hear Paterson Dolores say those words verbatim in my head. She added, “Even if I wanted to call somebody a bad word, it wouldn’t be that.” The way Dolo and Jennifer made up, yet Dolores has zero patience for Jen, is also just a goofy subplot to watch.

Melissa Gorga obviously thought the diss was stupid as she’s forever #TeamMarge. It’s also probably because Jennifer is going to call Melissa and Joe Gorga a whole lot more than a “boogawolf” at the RHONJ reunion. Teresa Giudice was just happy to have learned a new word and called Jennifer’s diss “very witty.” Tre is just as entertained by Jennifer as I am. Does it mean we’re morally correct? Absolutely not. Tre and I are just a couple of girls who can spot reality TV gold when we see it.

Vanderpump Rules Alum Jax Taylor Convinced Tom Sandoval And Raquel Leviss Faked Tom Schwartz Romance; Says “All A Facade”

The theory has gained momentum within the Vanderpump Rules group. It started with alum Stassi Schroeder. In March, she planted the idea that Tom Schwartz was used as a “cover-up” for Raquel Leviss’ and Tom Sandoval’s affair.

It seems plausible. And the hypothesis took root. Both current and past cast members have been quoted saying that Raquel and Sandoval used his best friend for cover. The specific wording changes of course. Lala Kent called Schwartz a “decoy.” While Kristen Doute thinks he knew a lot more than he let on.

Alum power couple Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright are the latest to jump on this bandwagon. The couple is filming for Peacock’s “Watch With” special. And Us Weekly documented their reaction to the latest episode of Vanderpump Rules. Raquel’s duplicity on the April 19, 2023 segment shocked the couple.

“This whole time she’s just putting on a show to make it look like there’s nothing going on between her and [Tom] Sandoval,Jax said “Going on a date with Oliver [Saunders], kissing [Tom] Schwartz, this is all a facade. This is all for show. She should really consider acting.”

For her part, the Kentucky native said the August 2022 occurrences were “blowing” her mind knowing that Sandoval and Raquel had started their affair at this time. “I didn’t think she had it in her. I thought she was a nice, sweet girl,” Brittany explained.

On the latest Vanderpump Rules episode, Raquel is still feigning interest in Sandoval’s bestie. All the while, she had her bottom smacked on camera by the Sandoval & The Most Extras front man.

“Oh God, with this sad story of Schwartz showing interest. Like, I’m over this already. Just say, ‘Listen, Sandoval made me do this because we’re hooking up.’ Ugh,” Jax reacted.

The former SUR bartender took offense to his former boss. Lisa Vanderpump told Schwartz to “take responsibility” while discussing the hook-up. Jax reacted to that scene harshly.

He said, “[Sandoval is] the one that put him up to that! I’m sorry, that’s the truth,” he said. “That’s what happened. I’ve never been wrong about anything that’s happened on this show.”

RELATED: Vanderpump Rules’ Tom Schwartz Told Tom Sandoval He Thought Raquel Leviss Had A “Crush on Someone Else” Before Affair News Broke

Meanwhile, Sandoval and Raquel had also kissed. They started their illicit affair before the VPR gang went to Mexico for Scheana Shay’s wedding. But not everyone was unsuspecting. During the recent episode, James Kennedy’s new girlfriend, Ally Lewber, had questions.

Ally saw Sandoval and Raquel dancing together into the wee hours at The Abbey. Indeed, the illicit duo continued to spend time together after Mexico. And it was something their co-star started to notice. But Scheana claimed their “incestual” group dynamic helped them fly under the radar.

“That is insane that they are going to The Abbey where we all hang out. It’s so close to all of Lisa’s restaurants in West Hollywood and they’re dancing at 1 a.m. thinking no one is going to notice, ‘Hey there’s Tom Sandoval and Raquel from Vanderpump Rules ’ … This is in our territory,” Brittany said.

Jax then acknowledged his track record as a cheater. In one instance, even cheating on Brittany shortly before their 2019 wedding. “There’s some dumb moves [that] I’ve done, but this dumb,” he said.

During the recent VPR episode, Raquel outdid herself by going on a date with Oliver Saunders. She had previously made out with Garcelle Beauvais’ eldest son, who works at Lisa’s restaurant in Las Vegas.

Brittany and Jax quipped, “Don’t worry, the decoy is set,” referring to their suggestion that Raquel called Sandoval after her “date” with Oliver.

Though both cheating parties have apologized to Ariana Madix, the public is not budging in their poor opinion of them. Raquel took it a step further by checking into a mental health facility recently. Tone-deaf Sandoval, meanwhile, went on Howie Mandel’s podcast to try and sway the narrative. He even admitted that he and Raquel are on a “break.”

The public didn’t buy it. Bravo executives didn’t appreciate the interview, either.

Andy Cohen “Lost His Sh-T” On Teresa Giudice While Filming Real Housewives Of New Jersey Season 13 Reunion

Poor Andy Cohen. After years of mediating between Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice and everyone else, it appears he might have reached his limit.

Teresa has always been a favorite of Andy’s. He considers her table-flipping iconic and still replays the moment Tre bodily checked him with a smile on his face. But like the viewers, Andy has grown weary of the never-ending drama between Teresa and Melissa Gorga.

Melissa and Teresa’s brother neglected to attend her wedding to Luis Ruelas. Probably because Joe Gorga doesn’t want to witness the next man to financially and morally bankrupt his sister. But we’ve never seen a truly loving relationship between Tre and her sister-in-law. It almost seems like Teresa never forgave her brother for choosing another woman over her – and it shows.

Now that the sun is setting on Season 13, the reunion went as scheduled. But according to all reports, it was practically a crime scene. Now Andy is admitting he might have choked during a battle of wits where both participants were unarmed. Page Six has the details.

We’re used to seeing a Housewife walk out of a reunion when it gets too hot in the kitchen, but we aren’t used to seeing the host storm off. It looks like the ladies of RHONJ had Andy running off in search of a safe space.

After getting “annoyed” at Teresa during the taping, Andy almost ditched the whole thing. He explained this on his SiriusXM show, Radio Andy. “There was a moment where I turned to Teresa [Giudice] – I apologized to her later – I didn’t yell at her – but I think I lost my s–t with her in a way that I haven’t maybe ever,” he said.

Andy added his response to Teresa “maybe relates to being the parent of a toddler.” He also admitted, “I almost walked off at one point.” Let’s all take a moment to empathize with Andy, being in the middle of Teresa and Melissa’s mutual word salads. I almost feel bad for him. Almost.

He didn’t say what specifically went down, but he gave vague details. “The level of – I won’t even say vitriol – I will say hate Teresa and Melissa [have], it’s, I mean the gloves are off I’ve never seen anything like it, and the way the two of them were going back and forth,” Andy shared.

Andy further said neither woman wanted the other to have the last word in their Battle at Pettysville. He added the reunion was both “monumental and upsetting.” Also “monumental and upsetting” is the fact that we are on year 12 of watching these women fight over the same things.

In addition to Melissa and Teresa doing their old routine, Andy said there are a “ton of new allegations” and “new material to get into” which means they “didn’t spend a ton of time rehashing” Teresa and Melissa’s relationship. It had previously been reported to Page Six that Teresa was “completely unhinged” and “out of control” during the reunion production.

So it sounds like everything is completely normal in Teresa and Melissa’s land. Aside from Melissa, Teresa also is in the middle of determining if Real Housewives of Orange County star Tamra Judge is an enemy. Tammy Sue wants to know if Luis looks better in Nonno’s pajamas or Nonno’s resort wear, and she isn’t afraid to ask. Stay tuned.

Summer House Star Lindsay Hubbard Explains Why Paying $13K A Month In Rent “Is Really Not That Crazy”

An expensive view. What does it cost to own a terrace in New York City? How about a terrace that fits a bar on it? Ask Carl Radke and Lindsay Hubbard. The Summer House couple hosted a housewarming party in their new digs on the April 17, 2023 episode.

Their cast mates were blown away by the decor and the view from the apartment. More shocking was the price tag. Carl and Lindsay revealed that they are paying $13,000 a month to live the high life. Portraying a perfect life, perhaps?

The Summer House couple showed BravoTV around their dream apartment. Carl and Lindsay also responded to the controversy surrounding the price tag.

Paige DeSorbo casually told Gabby Prescod, Samantha Feher, and Ciara Miller that their friends were paying $13,000 a month on rent.

“I’m sorry, what? It’s 13?” Sam said. “Where’s the ring, for $13,000?” Ciara added.

After that episode aired, Lindsay appeared on Watch What Happens Live to explain why she and Carl decided to rent. Andy Cohen asked, “Have you guys considered buying a place instead of renting?”

“Yes, and we talked about this at the [Season 6] reunion,” Lindsay responded. “So the market was so extraordinarily awful last year, and we wanted to move in [together]. COVID prices, they shot down, and then they all of a sudden inflated. The market in New York has just been tough.”

“If you break $13,000 apart, it’s $6,500 a person, which is really only $200 more than what I was paying at my last apartment,” Lindsay added. “OK, so it’s really not that crazy from my last apartment.”

During the Season 6 reunion, the couple was unwilling to make a permanent decision about their living arrangement. At the time, Lindsay said, “We’re kind of like in that stage where we’re trying to figure out do we rent and then buy a house, perhaps in the Hamptons, or do we buy in the city? There’s a lot of factors that go into it.”

The couple is still residing at Rad House in real-time. Perhaps the enviable abode will feature again in Season 7 once Lindsay and Carl get engaged. Maybe something around their autumn 2023 wedding? It’s reportedly being filmed. And if there’s any chance that Lindsay and Danielle Olivera will make up, it’s now.

Chrisley Knows Best Alum Savannah Chrisley Thrown Off Southwest Flight

The family of Todd Chrisley hasn’t been having an easy time since he and his wife Julie Chrisley began serving time in jail. The former Chrisley Knows Best couple were found guilty of multiple financial crimes and were sentenced to a combined total of 19 years behind bars.

The relatives they left behind are now suffering at the loss of their parents. The family seems unable to accept responsibility and continues denying any wrongdoing. The stress on Todd and Julie’s adult children has been overwhelming, as their daughter Savannah Chrisley now has custody of her brother and niece.

The massive life changes and subsequent inability to accept the truth are clearly impacting everyone. But Savannah’s existence has undoubtedly changed the most. She has admitted to struggling in the aftermath of her parents’ bad choices and now it appears to be impacting Savannah’s skills at maintaining her composure.

She was recently on a Southwest flight, returning home to Tennessee to care for her niece, Chloe Chrisley. Things weren’t going her way and she was unceremoniously bounced off the aircraft. Page Six has the details.

Okay, so Sassy went on a tirade against Southwest after being identified as an “unruly passenger” when she verbally battled a Southwest employee. She was flying from New York to Tennessee when an airline attendant checked her for not checking her bag. Savannah claims he “threw her off the flight” for outright refusing to follow the proper procedures.

As most disgruntled people do, Savannah immediately hopped on her Instagram Stories to share her plight with the world. She made a lovely little video explaining how this one man was just so mean to her. “Alright guys, so I officially know why everyone hates Southwest so much. I mean absolutely hates it — the worst thing in the entire world.” I’m not a frequent flyer, but I was unaware of any pre-existing damnation over Southwest Airlines.

She continued, “This man right here … um, awful. I went to board my flight to get on and he told me that I had to check my bag. I was like, ‘Okay, if you wouldn’t mind, I’m gonna take my bag on the flight, see if I can’t make it fit and if not, I’ll check it.’” Then Savannah proceeded to present this man’s face to the world in her clip.

The staff member, who is not currently in jail for lying to the government, stood his ground and called Sassy an “unruly passenger” for not complying with his request. Then the pilot of the plane stepped in to try and help out.

Allegedly the pilot advised the employee to “calm down.” Which is really not what you want to tell anyone in an aggravated situation. Captain Save A Chrisley also said “that he was going to find a place” for Sassy’s bag on the airplane. Savannah said, “The Southwest attendant literally looked at the pilot — the man who is flying our plane and is responsible for our safety, the most important person in the airline — and said, ‘Stay out of it … ma’am you’re not flying on this flight.’”

Savannah called the guy an “as-hole” and tried explaining she had to get home to her 10-year-old niece. But I’m guessing this man was beyond feeling sympathetic after being labeled an as-hole. She said, “And well, the Southwest attendant said, ‘I don’t care. So Southwest, you’re awful but not going to lie … your pilot was kinda hot.” Also awful? People who lie to their children about being guilty of crimes and as a result, their kids possess a sketchy sense of entitlement.

I’m not saying Savannah was wrong, but the video was pretty extra. Once she settled down, she popped back onto Instagram. Because I guess the family members she would usually whine to are incarcerated.

In Round #2, Sassy tried to cover her butt. “In case another story comes out, after he [the Southwest employee] told me he didn’t care if I got home to my 10-year-old … I told him that I hope he finds a better purpose for his life.” Everyone hopes the same for Savannah. You know, like stop humiliating yourself by continuing to profess the innocence of guilty people.

Then she brought poor Jesus into it. I feel like maybe Jesus wants to be removed from any Chrisley conversations going forward. “Maybe I shouldn’t have said it, but the devil came over me and Jesus did not come out.” To be fair, Jesus would have checked the bag.

Once again, Savannah made an attempt at relatability by mentioning she looked for other hot pilots when waiting for another flight back home. Then she posted a photo of herself looking like she had just returned from cleaning up after a natural disaster. The text on the photo read, “Southwest…. YOU WON” and a time stamp of 1:42 am.

I guess it’s safe to say Sassy will be staying far away from this airline. Hopefully, she makes it through these trying times without having further issues with her oversized baggage or airline employees who are clearly not fans of Chrisley Knows Best.

TELL US- WHO WAS RIGHT – SAVANNAH OR THE EMPLOYEE? DO YOU THINK SAVANNAH SHOULD HAVE BEEN KICKED OFF THE FLIGHT? DO YOU BELIEVE SHE WAS “UNRULY”?
