Jacqueline Laurita ‘Would Love’ Melissa Gorga To Leave Real Housewives of New Jersey

I would love for Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice to take a pause from Real Housewives of New Jersey. We all want things. But this is about RHONJ alum Jacqueline Laurita and her two cents.

On an episode of the Behind the Velvet Rope with David Yontef podcast, Jacqueline shared her thoughts on who should stay and who should go amid the never-ending conflict between Teresa and Melissa. I’ll give you one guess who Jacqueline wants off.

Jac is back on active duty

Jacqueline is clocking in after a recent reconciliation with Teresa and doing her civil duties. She said, “I would love to see Melissa and Joe [Gorga] off the show.” So she can get back in there? No, it’s so Tre can be her authentic self. “I would love to see Teresa being old Teresa when she’s not under all that stress and be the fun Teresa everyone fell in love with.”

Remind me of when Joe and Melissa forced Tre to commit crimes that might have given her “stress.” Jac believes being on the defensive because of her brother and SIL have made Teresa not so fun.

Thankfully, she crawled out of Tre’s backside long enough to reflect on the pros of Melissa leaving. “The fans love her [Teresa], she’s their money maker.” Jacqueline continued, “I would keep Teresa on and remove the brother, and let her be the old Teresa.” Well, the “old” Teresa went to jail. Jac also said she doesn’t think Melissa adds anything to the show. I appreciate an excellent suck-up, but this is too much.

“Teresa’s like a real character. She says funny things. She’s got all these kids. I just feel in a new marriage you would see the old fun Teresa if Melissa and Joe were gone.” Sure, Jan. Jacqueline also loathes Melissa’s lack of loyalty. “I hate how Melissa tries to say, ‘we did it for Teresa.’ You didn’t do it for Teresa because you were still behind the scenes talking sh-t about Teresa.”

Who’s gonna tell Jac to watch the season and see who is talking what sh-t? “You did it for the viewers to look at you as if you are loyal to Teresa but behind the scenes, you’re talking shit to Kathie [Wakile] to me,” she explained.

Again, how is this any different than Tre talking smack about her brother’s wife for the past 836 years? Jacqueline also said any chance Melissa can get to make Tre look bad, she takes it. Perhaps, but Tre doesn’t need anyone’s help making her look bad these days because she has Luis Ruelas for that.

Clearly, Jacqueline received her orders and she did her best to carry them out. Hopefully, she received more compensation than one of Teresa’s cookbooks for her efforts.

Real Housewives of New Jersey airs on Tuesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.

Andy Cohen ‘Worried’ About Kim Zolciak’s Money Spending Habits

Andy Cohen seems like one of the most reasonable men in the entertainment industry. With his experience in so many aspects of TV production and interviews, everything he says just sounds so smart and agreeable.

Well, his skills of reason have really proved themselves lately as Andy’s recounted on past conversations with Kim Zolciak. As everyone should be well aware at this point, it came out that Kim and her husband, Kroy Biermann, owed the IRS over $1 million in back taxes.

From that point on, it’s been a whirlwind for the former Real Housewives of Atlanta star and viewers. With a filing for divorce, a counter-filing, and all the drama that followed, it was only inevitable Andy would comment on the situation.

Andy knows Kim like a psychic

On his SiriusXM show, Andy Cohen Live, the long-beloved host said, “There are so many clips of me saying to Kim, ‘I am worried about the way you spend your money. He is not a football player, he is a retired football player.”

He claimed Kim wasn’t savvy enough to spend proportional to her savings, further emphasizing: “Kroy was a retired football player. They didn’t have the football player money coming in anymore.” Considering Kim reportedly lost $250,000 gambling before her divorce filing, Andy was clearly correct.

This is not the first time Andy touched on the Zolciak-Biermann situation. In a previous episode, he said, “[I] sent my condolences, because it’s a sad thing. They have kids, and that was just a couple that seemed very much in love … I was very surprised. That was not the news I ever expected to get. They were a couple that I thought they were in it for the long haul.” Andy’s empathy is something to admire considering how long he’s been interviewing some of the nastiest of people.

TELL US – DO YOU THINK ANDY IS GIVING HIMSELF TOO MUCH CREDIT? COULD ANYONE HAVE SEEN THE WRITING ON THE WALL? WHAT DO YOU THINK OF WHAT HE’S SAID TO KIM?

Lisa Vanderpump Doesn’t Want to ‘Pile On’ Tom Sandoval

Lisa Vanderpump revealed she has no plans to kick Tom Sandoval while he’s down — even if he deserves it. The Vanderpump Rules finale showed an unrelenting Vanderpump as she sat down with Tom to discuss his months-long affair with his partner, Ariana Madix’s best friend, Raquel Leviss.

Cast members, including Ariana, Scheana Shay, Katie Maloney, and James Kennedy, were vocal throughout the episode about their zero interest in remaining friends with either Sandoval or Leviss following the scandal. Consequently, fans are curious about what that means for the series moving forward since they were a massive part of this season’s biggest storyline.

Despite their fake apologies and attempts at reconciliation, the others aren’t buying it. Well, maybe one person. 

Lisa is hopeful for Tom’s future

In a new interview with E! News, Lisa said she refuses to give up on Tom despite his unforgivable mistake. 

“I didn’t take sides with Tom, I definitely condemned what he did,” she said. “You know, I can’t write him off as a person because he had an affair. The way he handled it, yes, of course.”  

Lisa’s support of Tom doesn’t come as a shock to those familiar with the show. She has received backlash for going too easy on Sandoval, and to her critics, she let their complaints roll off her back. “… can’t keep everybody happy all the time,” she said. 

However, pleasing her fans doesn’t seem to be her first priority in this situation. 

“That’s not what I’m not trying to do,” she explained. “I’m trying to tell the truth. Also, I feel like a mother to some of these children. So, when he’s been lambasted by the whole world, what am I going to do pile on? No, I’m going to try and have a modicum of — not empathy, I don’t have empathy — but a modicum of hope. Maybe for the future.”

Seeing Raquel and Tom on Season 11 of VPR is looking unlikely. But we’ve seen miracles happen on Bravo. 

“It’s going to be complicated,” Lisa shared. “But Vanderpump Rules has never been a fairy tale. Let’s be honest.”

Vanderpump Rules continues Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.

Skin Care Lines Released by Real Housewives

Many Real Housewives cast members discovered that they could easily promote their brands on their show. Special thanks to mogul Bethenny Frankel for perfecting this into an art form. You have to admire the hustle of all these accomplished ladies.

Many reality stars have tried to launch skin care lines. While some have flourished, others have fallen by the wayside. Let’s take a look at a few lines that are successful today, as well as some notable ones that have disappeared.

Whitney Rose – Wild Rose Beauty

(Photo Credit: Getty Images/Charles Sykes/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank)

Season 2 of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City featured Whitney Rose rebranding her skincare line Iris + Beau to Wild Rose Beauty. It was a huge gamble as she poured both her savings, as well as her husband’s savings, into the rebrand. Whitney decided to change the name of her company because a wild rose “doesn’t know any bounds.”

She also explained that she started the line because of her own skin issues. “I started Iris + Beau over four years ago because, believe it or not, I have very bad skin. And I started going to the health food store and [found] ingredients that were working for me, and I’d combine them all together and make my own skin oils,” Whitney explained. “I love this idea of having something that I created.” Her line includes products such as Anti-Aging Oxygen Serum, cleansers, and toners.

Heather Dubrow – Consult Beaute

Real Housewives of Orange County vet Heather Dubrow teamed up with her plastic surgeon husband, Dr. Terry Dubrow, to create a line of skincare products and supplements.

Consult Beaute includes volumizing and anti-aging products. Customers can shop for products related to the problem that they are trying to address. Their line has products for wrinkles, skin damage, and volume. There is a Champagne Beaute Lift that will tighten the skin on your body and face. Clever shout-out to Heather’s love of champs!

Tamra Judge – Vena

RHOC star Tamra Judge started Vena with her husband, Eddie Judge. According to its website, “Vena strives to earn our customers’ trust and loyalty by offering CBD products that promote and support a realistic, balanced lifestyle.” The company offers skin care products that contain CBD. Cooling Cream, Deep Hy – Adaptive Moisturizer, and Calming CBD Soaking Salts are among its offerings.

Lea Black – Lea Black Beauty

The former Real Housewives of Miami star founded her company in 1984. But in 2019, Lea Black added the Lea Black Beauty® CBD Skincare Collection. The CBD in Lea’s skincare line helps to calm redness and skin irritation.

Among her many offerings are CBD Daily Face Moisturizer, Moisturizing Skin Renewal Exfoliant, and Anti-Aging Face Serum. There are even CBD Lip Balm Treatments.

Kim Zolciak – Kashmere Kollections

In 2016, Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Kim Zolciak created her skincare line, Kashmere Kollections. “I didn’t put my face/name on it, I CREATED it. From the formulas to the name (after our son Kash, and your skin feels like ‘Kashmere’) to the scent,” Kim said at the time. I’m still absorbing that.

Her product line features Luxurious Toning Oil, Glycolic Skin Corrector Daily Moisturizer, and Mango Butter Brown Sugar Scrub. The last one sounds delicious.

D’Andra Simmons – Hard Night Good Morning

(Photo Credit: Charles Sykes/Bravo)

I think the name of D’Andra Simmons’ company is pretty clever. In 2008, the former Real Housewives of Dallas star founded the company. After her mother Dee Simmons’ cancer battle, the pair began to study nutrition, as well as alternative and holistic ways to treat the skin. The skincare line contains minerals, plant extracts, and herbs. Hard Night Good Morning contains products for morning and evening skin routines.

There are also face masks, such as the 24 K Gold Anti-Aging Mask and The Pretty Pout Lip Mask Set. My beauty routine feels very inadequate right now.

Ramona Singer – Ageless by Ramona

The Real Housewives of New York star was known for her youthful appearance. Ramona Singer’s Skin Renewal Serum helped hydrate the skin and resulted in good elasticity.

In 2019, Ramona committed a Real Housewives faux pas by making the season premiere party all about her skincare line. Ramona sent out invites with the name of her company in large print, followed by her name. Her co-stars were less than thrilled by Ramona’s publicity grab.

Ageless by Ramona is no longer available. If you’ve been missing some Ramona in your life, she will be back on Season 5 of Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip with her fellow RHONY alums.

Bethenny Frankel – Honesty by Bethenny

(Photo Credit: Getty Images/ Rich Polk)

In 2011, Bethenny announced that she was launching a skincare line under the SkinnyGirl name. It seemed like there were a million different SkinnyGirl products. I bow down.

Bethenny partnered with the beauty company Lotta Luv for a comprehensive skin and body care line. All the products were featured in Walmart and were budget-friendly. This line is also no longer available.

Bethenny has a found new outlet by reviewing beauty products on social media and giving her candid reaction. Some of her TikToks are hilarious.

RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Season 8, Episode 3 Recap: The Supermarket Ball

As we waved a final goodbye to Naysha Lopez, RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Season 8 kicked into high gear. There is gameplaying afoot! Or at least, there would be if any of the queens would let one another talk about alliances in peace. As the remaining competitors are tasked with coming up with three Supermarket Ball looks, there’s drama on and off the runway.

Who needs a unanimous vote?

We quickly discover that there is one queen who isn’t afraid to let her opinion be known. That is the self-described “royalty” of Drag Race, Jessica Wild. While last week’s Maxi challenge winner Jimbo would have also sent Naysha home if given the opportunity, it is revealed that Jessica had voted for Kahanna Montrese to be sent packing instead. Mrs Kasha Davis had also opted for Kahanna’s lipstick, but seemed more apologetic. Jessica? She doesn’t regret it. More power to you, Jessica. Kahanna says there are no hard feelings, but we’ll see how that all plays out down the line.

After a little bondage talk, Ru-mail comes through. RuPaul talks in riddles about shopping and supermarkets, before bursting through the Werk Room doors. She tells her legendary children that this week’s Maxi challenge will be all about fashion. They must come up with three sickening looks. First category: Legen-dairy Queens. Second category: Fruity Patootie. Third category: Supermarket Supermodel. It is this third look that will be the most challenging, as they must come up with a design created completely out of the supermarket products provided. Cue the never-ending supply of Pit Crew members delivering the goods, and LaLa Ri swooning at the very sight of Bruno Alcantara. Same LaLa, same.

The curse of the sewing machine

At this point, I don’t know how many times a Drag Race queen needs to be told to learn how to sew. Unfortunately, Kasha didn’t get the memo. “I don’t sew because I’m not Amish and I have good credit.” But you ARE a Drag Race legend. Time to learn some skills. LaLa on the other hand has learned from her past mistakes. The infamous bag look is giving her flashbacks, so she came into this All Stars season prepared. Our girl has learned how to use the sewing machine! Now that is how you impress Mama Ru, and claim that Rudemption.

The normally self-assured Kandy Muse is feeling some sort of way about the challenge. Having looked around the room and seeing everybody doing well, she isn’t confident. When we saw that kid-like drawing of what she had in mind for her Supermarket Supermodel look, we gasped, then laughed. Pure comedy. Still, this is a competitor and queen who won’t ever let a challenge get in the way of her success.

Thankfully, amidst all of the chaos, there is some wonderful banter between the queens. They joke about love affairs and stolen kisses, while Alexis Michelle’s crush on LaLa is exposed. Fingers crossed they enjoy that chicken dinner together. Ru arrives once more to speak to the queens about their designs. Jimbo turns on the charm offensive, immediately cracking jokes for Mama. That’s why she’s a favorite. Don’t expect her to go anywhere soon if RuPaul has anything to do with it.

Toot or Boot?

I’ve gotta say, there were some interesting judging decisions this episode. While LaLa has certainly grown as a queen and designer, others like Kahanna and Heidi N Closet seemed more deserving of a place in the top. This does of course all come down to personal taste. Producers gotta produce, and if we’re going for a growth storyline for LaLa, then so be it. Jaymes Mansfield did well to avoid the bottom this week, but the bottom two of Kasha and Darienne Lake was the right choice. Jessica as the winner though? Choices.

Still, she absolutely slayed the final lipsync. Ra’Jah O’Hara was ruvealed as this week’s Lip Sync Assassin, but she seemed to be holding back. Perhaps she didn’t want to be the one to stop Jessica snatching that $30,000 tip? Still, Jessica came prepared. The lipsync song was Coconuts by Kim Petras, and Jessica had some coconuts of her own to show off. Once they were unleashed, the writing was on the wall.

Jessica pulled Kasha’s lipstick out of her bosom, and it’s hard to argue with the decision. Kasha’s farewell was an emotional one, and a nod to her sobriety. “There’s always time for kindness,” she choked through tears. We will miss Kasha. She is one lovable queen.

RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Season 8 continues Fridays on Paramount+ in the United States, and on WOW Presents Plus in the United Kingdom.

Ramona Singer ‘Genuinely Forgot’ Who Kristen Taekman Was Before RHONY Legacy Cast Announcement

As if Bravo wasn’t busy enough with #Scandoval this week, they finally announced some movement on the Real Housewives of New York front. And someway, somehow, it includes Ramona Singer.

Bravo not only released the trailer for the new rendition of RHONY, but they also revealed that the legacy show will be a part of Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip. The ladies will be returning to St. Barths, a memorable vacation spot in RHONY history.

Aside from Ramona, the RHONY legacy cast will include a few familiar faces. Kelly Bensimon, Luann de Lesseps, Dorinda Medley, Sonja Morgan, and Kristen Taekman made the cut for the cast. Many people were quick to notice that one of those cast members (Kristen) isn’t as legendary as the others (literally everyone else). In a live taping of the Virtual Reali-Tea podcast, Ramona Singer seemed to agree.

A classic case of Ramona Singer

Ramona was joined by her mini-me in training Avery Singer to talk about the next iteration of RHONY. In an iconic moment, Ramona literally forgot who Kristen even was. Yes, the woman whose face she defiled by throwing a wine glass at her in the Bezerkshires. “I just genuinely forgot who she was,” Ramona admitted. Ramona is problematic in so many ways, but her sheer ignorance at times truly can be comical.

Avery tried her hand at being a stand-up comedian by saying that “everyone” forgot who Kristen was. Girl, weren’t you going to the middle school dance with a face full of braces when Kristen was on RHONY? Maybe you should let your mom do the talking (said no one ever about Ramona).

Ramona had a few other ideas of who she thought would be fit for a season of RHONY: Legacy. “Why don’t we have Aviva [Drescher]?” she asked. “Why do we have Kristen?” Honestly, Ramona asks a good question as I wouldn’t mind seeing Aviva throw that leg all over a tropical mansion. Ramona is an OG who knows what she’s doing. She’s ensuring she’ll have a storyline on the upcoming RHUGT season by igniting beef with Kristen before they’ve even packed their bags. Now THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is legacy behavior – unfortunately.

TELL US – ARE YOU SURPRISED THAT RAMONA SINGER FORGOT WHO KRISTEN TAEKMAN WAS? WERE YOU SHOCKED TO SEE KRISTEN CAST IN THE UPCOMING RHONY LEGACY SEASON?

Ariana Madix ‘Very Happy’ With Daniel Wai, Taking Things ‘Very Slow’

None of us know Ariana Madix personally, but the public rallied behind her in the wake of the cheating scandal between her ex-boyfriend Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss. He is still receiving a lot of vitriol for his role in publicly humiliating the Vanderpump Rules fan-favorite. But celebrating Ariana’s new romance is the next phase in the journey.

The Something About Her co-founder was first connected with NYC based trainer Daniel Wai last month. The duo were spotted canoodling at Coachella. Following that encounter, the long-distance loves met up on May 2 for a Yankees game in NYC. And this past week’s movements solidified them as the newest reality TV/Instagram hybrid couple. Ariana has moved on in a big way.

Ariana was in the Big Apple for her first Watch What Happens Live appearance since the months-long affair came to light. While there, the couple documented the date-packed days for their Instagram followers.

The couple met 10 days after Scandoval news broke

Ariana was also invited on to TODAY with Hoda & Jenna for the May 18 episode. She shared the story of meeting Daniel, and what effect the new romance had on her life.

“I’m enjoying myself and I would say I’m very happy right now,” Ariana said. “I met him at a wedding about 10 days after all of this. And in no way, shape or form did I go into that thinking anything.”

Certainly, no one could blame Ariana for being cautious in a new romance. But Daniel’s demeanor gave her a sense of security and confidence. And she was ready to move on.

“I have just been taking things very, very slow and really enjoying myself,” she added. “And it’s just really lovely to interact with someone who is just so nice and kind and lovely and caring.”

As Lala Kent pointed out during Season 10, often in affairs, the woman gets the brunt of the blame and stigma. But Ariana puts more blame on the Schwartz & Sandy’s co-owner.

“I would say I place more of the blame on him because he was the one in the relationship,” Ariana explained. “Even though she was my very close friend, I do think that ultimately it is the responsibility of the person in the relationship to set those boundaries.”

Ariana told co-hosts Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager that she refuses any future contact with Sandoval or Raquel.

“I don’t, I really don’t,” she confessed. “I just don’t trust that person. You hear my ex on the show last night saying, ‘I know it’s hard for Ariana to trust people,’ and it has been over many years. It took me a long time to get to a point where I did trust new friends. So, I think once that trust is broken, I don’t see going back.”

Co-stars Lala and Scheana Shay met Daniel and are thoroughly in support of the romance.

“The way that I witnessed him treat her, I’ve honestly—not even in the beginning of her relationship with Tom—ever seen her light up the way she does when he gets around her, when she talks about him,” Scheana said in an exclusive to E! News. “It’s been really, really amazing to just see her so happy.”

“To see her with this new guy, where she just seems light and excited about life, it’s inspiring,” Lala added.

Part One of the Vanderpump Rules Season 10 reunion airs May 24, at 9/8c on Bravo.

Oliver Saunders Served for Child Support Payments Following Vanderpump Rules Aftermath

He got served. Oliver Saunders, son of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Garcelle Beauvais has had a challenging time in his relationship (or former) this past year. He split from his wife in a messy, public way, was recently hit with a child support case, and now it’s been confirmed that he’s been served in that case.

Oliver filed for divorce and things are moving painfully slow for him because of the publicity he’s getting from his short blip on Vanderpump Rules. He found himself in an entanglement with Raquel Leviss and his wife (who said they were still in somewhat of a relationship, but he said separated) in August. Also, interesting was that Lala Kent acted like she already knew him. How so? Or did they meet via production. His first scene was a particularly awkward one because both girls were licking their lips like they were parched.

From there, Oliver’s storyline continued as he took Raquel out on a date in L.A in September. It abruptly ended because Raquel had already spoken to his wife. Was he used for a storyline? Raquel had already had a one-night stand with Tom Sandoval following the girls’ trip. Her date would have come after that. How far along were things with Tom?

The social media case against Oliver

His wife felt the need to speak out publicly last year – the day after Raquel and Oliver’s date. “I have been told to stay SILENT! DIVORCE — @iamoliversaunders since Oliver has started working at @vanderpumpparis he has disrespected me and my kids in every way possible.” Was she told to be quiet for her own good, or to silence her?

She makes strong allegations, indicating, “He has made jokes about my mental health and suicidal thoughts with coworkers.” I would hope that’s not true for both parties sake. But as Oliver hasn’t spoken out, there is really only one person’s perspective out there.

She goes on, “When I met Oliver … I had no idea the demons he was battling.” What does that mean? She airs his personal struggles by saying, “I helped this man get back on his feet after fighting a strong addiction and battling in the courts. I financially supported this man … while he was getting clean … once he got his job I decided to pursue real estate trusting he was going to support me like I did to him. Instead this man has left me in thousands of dollars of debt.” Best case scenario is they resolve everything amicably, give their son all the love, and move on with their lives in peace.

The custody case

The legal case is coming from the State of Nevada (court records say filed in July of 2020!) – aiming to collect child support payments since the month after their son was born. This adds more head-scratching to the timeline because wouldn’t they have been together then? Does she want payment for the time she supported the family? We’d all hope he’s been providing support since getting a job, but we won’t know until the case moves along via a hearing in July of 2023. If a man is happy paying for anything in life, I’d think it’d be to support his children – nothing shameful in that.

A major theme on Oliver’s Instagram is spending time with his son and has been since 2020. Her kids are also throughout her Instagram, and her last smiling picture with Oliver is June of 2022.

The Vanderpump Rules Season 10 Reunion begins airing from May 24 at 9/8c on Bravo. Don’t expect Oliver to show up.

Ariana Madix Is ‘Insulted’ by Claims That Scandoval Was Staged

The Vanderpump Rules Season 10 finale has finally aired, and fans can now see the fallout of Scandoval in 4K. 

The initial news of Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss’ indefensible affair broke in March 2023. Then, the world was turned upside down as viewers watched to keep up with the drama inside SUR and TomTom. 

However, it wasn’t just viewers that were blindsided by the reports. The entire cast, except for Tom Schwartz, was too. 

Inside sources revealed that shortly after the scandal was revealed, Bravo cameras were up and ready to capture the aftermath. “The majority of the cast is expected to gather and film … to share their reactions to Raquel and Sandoval’s affair. Mostly everyone is shook and completely heartbroken for Ariana,” they said. 

Despite production sources claiming this story was not staged for TV, some skeptics are still straddling the fence. During her recent appearance on The View, Ariana Madix responded, hoping to shut that assertion down. 

Ariana is “insulted” by the claims Scandoval is produced

#VanderpumpRules' #ArianaMadix shuts down critics that say the cheating scandal #Scandoval was staged and tells @TheView she wanted it "to be exposed."

When presented with the statements that many feel Tom and Raquel’s affair was staged, the Vanderpump Rules vet had powerful feelings on the matter. 

“That’s not true,” she said. “First of all, it’s very real … I find that to be very insulting to me personally.” 

She continued by saying her break-up was “something I am really going through” and “did really go through.” She continued by saying it doesn’t just impact her but the entire group. 

“And [it’s] not just me, but our friends as well that were close to both of them … it’s as though our collective pain didn’t mean anything,” she said. 

One of the claims has been that cameras were already in place to film before the news broke about the affair. However, Ariana and Bravo both state that’s not the case. 

“No, one of the first conversations I had with outside of my immediate friend group was with our showrunner Jeremiah and he was as devastated as I was on some level,” Ariana revealed on Today. 

The VPR reunion will air in the following weeks, and based on the sneak peek, it will be one for the books. 

Vanderpump Rules continues Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.

Real Housewives of Atlanta: All of Season 14’s Bombshell Moments

Season 14 of Real Housewives of Atlanta gifted us a new housewife: Olympic gold-medal winner Sanya Richards-Ross. And Kandi Burruss became the longest-serving cast member in any franchise. This season served up feuds, a crazy trip, and two dreams that were finally fulfilled. Here are Season 14’s bombshell moments. Buckle up!

Spill the Tea Party

Kenya Moore decided to throw an elegant tea party for her daughter Brooklyn Daly’s third birthday. Since there were children everywhere, now would be a great time to play a shady game. All the guests wrote some light shade on a card. Someone wrote that Kandi “sucked d*ck in a locker room.” No one admitted to writing that down. My vote was for Marlo Hampton.

Another card was about someone not paying their assistant. While it looked like it came from Drew Sidora, Kandi wrote it. Drew said that Sheree Whitfield’s former assistant told her that.

But then Monyetta Shaw claimed that the same assistant shared a rumor that Ralph Pittman was gay. Drew lost her mind and told Monyetta to stop bringing up her husband. Sheree called Drew “a ditsy bitch.” Later, Drew repeatedly put her fingers in Sheree’s face. The guests around them were horrified by their behavior. And that is why you should never invite the RHOA crew to a fancy tea.

Drew was hurt that Sanya disinvited her from a clothing shoot. So, when Sanya invited Drew and the ladies over for a Jamaican cooking lesson, she declined. But then Drew popped in late.

Sanya and Drew started bickering. Even Sanya’s mother pulled a Mama Joyce and got in the mix. Drew accused Sanya of being a “clout chaser.” That might be a reach.

“I’m a four-time Olympic gold medalist, put some respect on my name!” Sanya exclaimed as she banged on the table. Point taken. Both Kenya and Kandi applauded Sanya’s read.

No Peace in This Retreat

Marlo invited the ladies to the Blue Ridge Mountains for a peaceful retreat. This was Marlo’s first season as a peach holder, and she was going to make the most of it.

She stepped up to care for her sister’s children when she was no longer able to look after them. Marlo sent her two nephews to live with her other sister for 30 days. While Marlo sent the boys away due to some behavioral issues, not all of her RHOA co-stars supported her decision.

Kenya arrived but immediately aggravated Marlo by not greeting her as the host. The horror! Marlo repeatedly tried to talk to Kenya and chased her all around the house. Kenya told Marlo that she could talk with her in front of all the other ladies. But Marlo wanted to speak with Kenya one-on-one. Kenya refused. The ladies continue to argue in the driveway for hours.

The hostess finally ordered Kenya to leave. From the backseat of a vehicle, Kenya responded, “I’m an icon. You’re an ex-con. Bitch, bye.” That was an iconic line. Soon it was goodbye for everyone as Marlo sent them all home so that she could relax.

She Has Fashions

During the season finale, Sheree finally debuted her fashion line. That’s right, all 27 pieces were paraded down the runway by models. Sheree managed to live down the mockery of her first fashion show with no actual fashions.

After 14 long years, Sheree had done it! It was emotional seeing Sheree’s dream finally come true. Her line debuted to a crowd of over 200 people. And speaking of ex-cons, Apollo Nida, Phaedra Parks’ ex-husband, strutted his stuff down the runway. What did the fans do to deserve this blast from the past?

What’s My Name

At the reunion, Marlo and Kenya faced off again. Marlo opined that she felt that their friendship was over. “No. I think she’s done with me. I think it’s over. I’m so stressed out. I don’t know what I’m going to do without her,” Marlo said.

Kenya clapped back hard. “That’s the sociopath in her because she thinks it’s funny and cute. Yet she wants to talk about us all the time in the press and to everyone else and pretend that she’s a different person than she is,” Kenya stated. “Everything about you is fake, Marlo. Your name is not really your name.”

Host Andy Cohen asked, “Is your name LaToya Hutchinson?” Marlo replied with a startling laugh, “You saw my arrest record from 20 years ago. LaToya is my best friend.”

The producers showed a copy of Marlo’s birth certificate. It listed her name as Marlo Patrice Hampton. Marlo concluded her thoughts by calling her co-star a “lying b–ch.”

Season 14 treated viewers to a cast trip canceled by the host and some stellar reads. Sheree’s dream of having her fashion show, and Marlo’s longtime wish to be a full-time peach-holder both came true. Once again, RHOA delivered all the juicy drama.
