Jacqueline Blake Talks Joining The Cast Of The Real Housewives Of Potomac

I had the opportunity to attend a private viewing party hosted by Jacqueline Blake while Season 7 of The Real Housewives of Potomac was airing, and this newbie had a lot to say about what happened this season, and where her friendships stand today.

 

She opened up about joining the show as a friend-of through full-time Housewife Mia Thornton, and says “I would say that season 7 had its ups and downs, everybody brought it, and it was a true testimony of who had my corner and who did not.” I obviously wanted to know more and I asked who exactly she was talking about that didn’t have her back. Blake said “I think everybody knows that Mia is not in my corner right now.” This comes after Blake and Thornton went blow for blow on Instagram which led fans know the two “best friends ”were officially done for. Blake wrote on her Instagram “this season was a eyeopener and true testimony of who had my best interest at heart.” she continued “through every step of this process i prayed for God to use me and allow me to use this platform to uplift, help, and empower.” 

Thornton did not like what she was seeing and decided to comment back “She loves men with wives, while trying too hard to be a ‘Housewife’ yet is only qualified to be a ‘friend’, if she would focus on herself maybe someone would want to wife her wanna be disloyal a[ss].” 

As season 7 of RHOP continues to air at its very early stages, the “best friend” due is still going strong, however after this social media dispute and the constant back and forth in the press, fans are in for even more drama as the season progresses. 

Garcelle Checks Erika, Diana Agrees That She’s “Fake”

The time has finally come for Garcelle to “set a bitch straight”! The ladies are at Sutton’s housewarming luncheon, and after making Erika sweat a bit, Garcelle is ready to confront her for disrespecting her 14 year old son. Last week Erika shared that she can only have one drink. She is definitely filling up on the booze and Garcelle has been very observant. “You know it’s not that I’m paying all my attention to Erika at all, but she said she was only going to have one drink. We’re up to three.”

Garcelle lets Erika know that her liquor level was out of control at the party, which resulted in an uncomfortable situation for Garcelle’s teenage son. “Under no circumstances though can you disrespect, not only a kid, but my kid.” To everyone’s surprise Erika owned it, and apologized, and it actually sounded sincere. Erika says, “I agree and take full responsibility and you know what, I was shit talking and treating the kids like they were adults, and I was wrong.”

For all the housewives reading this, that is how you do it. Erika is far from a class act, but for someone who has created a brand based on not being ashamed and embarrassed for being who they are (Erika Jayne), we see that in fact Erika was ashamed and embarrassed for her actions that night.

Based on Kyle’s facial expression, she seems confused, and in a matter of seconds Garcelle calls Kyle out.

Garcelle: “What are you doing that for, why’d you do that face?”

Kyle: “For as long as I’ve known Erika I’ve never seen her lose her composure one time, so I think she’s allowed a little bump here.”

Garcelle: “This is what I mean by jumping ship Kyle, this is what I mean by jumping ship, I’m having a conversation with her, and it’s not like I’m saying anything badly.”

Kyle: “She’s literally had, in seven years, two instances—”

Garcelle: “But I’m not talking to you, I’m talking to her.”

In her confessional Kyle says “Was it wrong for Erika to tell Garcelle’s son to fuck off—100 percent, but am I happy that she’s let her hair down and is having some fun and not so guarded as she used to be, absolutely. Does that mean I’ve jumped ship? No I haven’t.”

Friend of the show (and to Garcelle) Sheree tries to help Kyle understand that right now she just needs to be neutral. Erika interjects to say “Before I insulted your children I actually paid them a huge compliment in saying that your younger boys were so well spoken and were not acting like teenagers that wanted to be on their phone and not talking to other guests, and I thought to myself that’s a real testament to Garcelle.”

“It’s great if a stranger comes up to you and says I think you’re a really good mom, when it comes from another mom that knows what it’s like to do it alone, that to me is the best compliment I could ever have.” Garcelle continues, “Am I annoyed with Erika? Absolutely, has she scored a point—*sighs* yeah.”

Sheree breaks the ice by asking Erika if she was trying to have a threesome with Garcelle’s older son Oliver, to which Erika admits. “I would.” Sheree responds, “Me too, bitch.”

Sheree, Garcelle, and Kyle meet for drinks and they get right to it. They discuss the 1-on-1 between Garcelle and Erika. Garcelle understands Erika has been through a lot. She explains that it was never about her not having fun. “We’re not just talking about ‘oh my gosh she’s a little tipsy lets just put her in an uber,’ I mean what more do you want to see?” It sounds like Garcelle is implying that things will only get worse from here.

Kyle is happy to see a more vulnerable side to Erika. Garcelle poses the question, “And you don’t think that could lead to alcoholism?” Immediately you can see how triggered Kyle is by that accusation, considering her tumultuous past with her sister. (Kim Richards). Kyle responds, “I think that’s a very dramatic statement.” In Garcelle’s defense, she might also be triggered given her son’s addiction issues.

At Garcelle’s birthday Sutton tried to relate to Diana by telling her about her experience losing two babies, but Diana felt it wasn’t genuine. After hearing that Diana didn’t necessarily leave off on the same page as her, Sutton sat down to meet Diana for round two.

The first time Diana and Sutton met, in a group, Diana said she believed Sutton is clumsy with her words. Diana now clarifies, “I actually have changed my mind. I don’t think you’re clumsy with words. I actually think you mean what you say.” Sutton looked dumbfounded.

Diana says, “Do you know how you said it?” Sutton responds by telling her that it was very sincere. “I don’t share my stories of my miscarriages with many people,” says Sutton. Diana even feels bold enough to tell Sutton that her exact words were “I’ll raise you two” in response to Diana having a one miscarriage. If you watched the scene, you know that wasn’t what Sutton actually said, and it’s wild that this is the hill Diana is willing to die on.

This entire scene with Diana and Sutton was pure insanity and the gaslighting at its finest. Diana admits that the hug at Garcelle’s birthday was “the fakest hug I’ve ever had in my life.” Sutton asks, “So who’s fake now?” Diana responds “I am”, and in that moment Sutton had never looked more confused. Sutton says she would rather deal with Erika over Diana any day. If Diana is looking to be a one season housewife, she’s doing a great job.

Stay tuned as next week Kathy Hilton makes her season 12 debut.

RHOBH Episode 9 Recap: Sutton And Diana On The Outs, Garcelle Is Ready To Check Erika

Episode 9 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is setting us up for some of the best Garcelle moments we’re sure to get this season. She is working for that coin, okay! The episode continues at Garcelle’s birthday party, where Sutton and Diana are battling it out. After originally declining Garcelle’s birthday invitation, Diana decides to surprise the ladies. Sutton questioned the validity of her health, and started to question Diana’s choice to attend the party. Obviously this is far much more than just an argument about “bed rest”; it’s a clash of the wealthy. 

 

Diana has been open about several health issues she’s had, including a miscarriage. Sutton wanted to “relate” to Diana by sharing that she herself has lost two babies, but [producer] Kyle, made things worse. Kyle loves to give her two scents, and in her defense, it’s the name of the game. “You’ve lost two babies? I’ve never heard this before?” Said Kyle. Sutton explains she’s had two miscarriages, but a drunken Kyle isn’t buying it. “I love you but this feels like bullshit.” Sutton finds Kyle’s behavior rude, as she’s trying to find common ground with Diana, but maybe bringing up her own maternity issues isn’t the best way to empathize with her. 

 

Diana looks at Sutton and says “You called me soulless, honey. I’m not falling for it.” A choked up Sutton responds, “If you think that this is fake, this is me being real, so if you wanna be a motherfucker–” and before she can finish Kyle grabs Sutton violently by the arms to stop her. Sutton is crying and telling Kyle that she’s being really mean by questioning her miscarriage. “Listen she lost her baby, you did not, maybe years ago I don’t know. This is recent,” said Kyle.

 

“It’s breaking my heart, and disappointing me in our friendship. She’s looking at me like she’s the devil,” says Sutton. Diana laughingly responds “Are you?” Sutton is distraught and crying, clearly she’s being bullied by her best friend, and a new enemy. It’s very reminiscent of last year’s drama with Crystal. An awkward broken down Sutton. 

 

The drama moves inside the party as Erika starts with Garcelle’s family. A very drunk Erika says “Where’s your hot son” referring to her eldest, Oliver. “You know why? Dorit jokingly says “get Oliver out of here.” Erika shouts “Oliver get over here, you’re hot.” Erika lifted her leg, exposing herself, as she taunted Garcelle. Erika asks if he’s married to which he responds “yes”.  “Have your baby mama contact me on my DMs, we can get it in 3 ways,” says Erika. 

 

It’s important to recognize the micro (or macro) aggression right here. Black people, especially black men are constantly objectified, sexually; dehumanizing them. Even using the phrase “baby momma” while referring to a black man, as if black men can’t have successful partnerships or marriages.

 

In her confessional Garcelle says “I get it, let your hair down, have a good time, but this doesn’t feel like that. This feels like take a moment, reassess your life, what’s happening, where are you going. This is not okay.” As everyone is leaving the party, Garcelle sends her 14 year old son Jax to grab some flowers from the table, and as he approaches Erika screams at him and tells him “wait what are you doing here, get the fuck out of here.” He frighteningly responds “I’m just getting flowers.” Crystal comforts him and escorts him out.

 

In her confessional Dorit says, “Oh my god Oh my god, I know Erikas drunk and I know she’s joking around but that’s Garcelle’s son. He’s 14 years old. I feel sick to my stomach.” She tries to explain to Erika that he was just getting the flowers for his momma. Jax turns to his mom and says: “I just got violated for grabbing flowers.” 

 

It’s important to point out that they gave Crystal hell last year for using the word violated when describing the way Sutton treated her. Garcelle confronts Erika and says she hurt Jax’s feelings. Erika starts with the pretend amnesia, as if she didn’t say that in front of the cameras. Garcelle demands an apology to her son, and recommends Erika figure out her cocktail to meds ratio.

 

In the aftermath of Garcelle’s party Sutton and Kyle meet up for dinner to discuss their tussle the other night. Kyle says “I want to apologize, let me make that clear. I don’t think you made that up, I don’t think anyone would make that up. I don’t want you to think I ever thought that.” Kyle is referring to Sutton’s miscarriages. Sutton tells Kyle not to ever push her again. Kyle says that the push was a knee-jerk reaction. Kyle felt like it was convenient timing that Sutton would bring up her miscarriages while Diana was talking about her misfortune. 

 

Sutton explains she was just trying to relate to her, and she didn’t even get to discuss with Diana what she wanted. Sutton interrupts, and an annoyed Kyle says “you’re really hard to have a conversation with.” As a Kyle stan, I can admit that she was being condescending as hell at this “apology” lunch with Sutton. When you say things such as: “You’re hard to apologize to.” “You don’t shut up.” “You’re such a delicate flower,” it comes across as condescending, and Sutton just takes it.

 

 It’s time for Diana to tell her part of the story to Lisa Rinna, who couldn’t attend the party. Diana says that the party was good itself, but that Sutton caught her on the way out and did “the Sutton thing”, referring to her facial expressions and strange behavior. She describes the situation as a gambling game. “I put down one miscarriage, and she said I raise you two,” says Diana. Lisa is stunned and calls Sutton a Narcissist. Diana feels like when she’s around Sutton she gets dragged down to her level. After charting a private jet for the ladies in Mexico, Diana says next trip they can go commercial. 

 

Date night gone wrong: The Umansky’s and the Kemsley’s sit down for a double date at Kyle’s house. It’s the first time PK is back at the house after meeting their home invasion. Kyle expresses that she was ready to move after her home was robbed, but eventually she was happy to stay. Dorit shares that she’s facing some challenges she can’t seem to shake, like driving a car for example. Any space where she has to be alone, is triggering for her. Dorit is still unsure if she wants to move or stay. 

 

Kyle changes the mood by asking if anyone heard when Erika told Garcelle’s 14 year old son to go fuck off. “I mean it’s not funny but it is funny.” Mauricio says “I think it’s great that she did that.” Kyle says she likes seeing this more relaxed side of her. Dorit agrees and says that she can give her a pass because “ of course it’s not my child.” The twitter-sphere has unanimously agreed that it was disgusting and uncomfortable to watch the four of them pass off Erika’s inexcusable behavior towards a minor. Too often black boys are inappropriately treated as adults, and never given the chance to just be boys.

 

The dynamic duo we’ve been waiting for: Garcelle and friend of the show–Sheree Zampino. The ladies sit down for a pre game at Garcelle’s home before heading over to Suttons housewarming. Garcelle fills Sheree in on what transpired between Erika and her boys. Garcelle tells Sheree that she went back into the party and made it very clear to Erika that she can’t talk to her son like that ever again. She didn’t want to have a deep conversation with Erika in that condition. “I want her when she’s sober, and she can hear me. It’s happening today girl, I don’t know where you’re going to be but you better find me.” Sheree jokingly pretends to take off her earrings, getting ready for battle. You can tell this is the kind of friend you want in your corner when things pop off. Before heading off to Suttons the ladies toast to “setting a bitch straight.”

 

Sutton is almost finished with her house so she’s invited the ladies over for a luncheon. Lisa, Sheree, and Garcelle are the first to arrive and as the girls are getting cocktails, Garcelle sticks to something light because she wants to be “clear” before she confronts Erika. In her confessional Erika admits she’s worried about Garcelle. “I’m worried about this Haitian mom I’ve offended.” We get a flashback of two days earlier, where Crystal and Erika are recounting the other night. “It was like we were shit talking and I was treating the teenagers like they were adults. They’re 16, they’re not babies, let’s not,” says Erika. Crystal has to remind her they’re 14, and Erika suddenly has a change of attitude. “That puts it in a whole new perspective, thanks Crystal.” 

 

Erika arrives at the party and as she approaches Garcelle the tension is so thick you can feel it through the tv screen. Erika goes to the bar and says “what is everyone drinking, I can only have one, I learned a lesson, I can only have one drink.” Garcelle responds with “Okay good, one is good.” As Erika is waiting for her drink, Garcelle gets her alone, but engages in small talk, she’s making her sweat. We can see Garcelle wants to do this in front of the group, like a top tier housewife would. 

 

The party moves outside where the girls will have lunch, but in the words of Lisa Rinna, “we’re dealing with a swamp.” Sutton was not prepared for the weather, as the ground was muddy and a mess to move in. Sutton couldn’t put a rug under the table that morning? Lisa takes a dig at Sutton by saying that it’s very representative of her. “You got this beautiful table set gorgeously sitting in this mucky muddy muck, that’s Sutton Stracke for you.” 

 

Diana’s presence isn’t necessarily missed at lunch, but it is noticed, which Garcelle called rude for not letting the hostess know. Sutton says she doesn’t like passive aggressive behavior and Lisa takes this time to make up for her absence in the last episode. “Well that’s the pot calling the kettle black isn’t it?” 

 

Next week things are sure to boil over as Garcelle sets Erika straight.

RHODubai Episode 5 Recap: Phaedra Parks Makes Her Way to Dubai

In the latest episode of Real Housewives of Dubai, we meet Caroline B.’s cousin Shawn as they sit down for lunch to meet with the one, the only Ms. Phaedra Parks! Phaedra joins Caroline and Shawn for lunch and they instantly catch up on what each other has been up to. Phaedra wants to know what the men are like in Dubai and Caroline fills her in. Phaedra asks, “What are the men like here? They can have many wives, right? I like a sister wife because maybe she can cook, and I clean.” Caroline responds, “You can marry my ex, he’s available. He cheats.” Caroline makes it clear that it is very expensive to cheat on her honey! She states, “You’re not gonna make me become accustomed to a certain lifestyle, make me put my own life on hold, that I worked so hard to build and then you go and decide to cheat and ruin our home…. oh no darling. If you cheat, it’s gonna be expensive.” The lunch ends with Caroline inviting Phaedra to meet some of the other ladies at Ski Dubai.

 

The scene cuts to Lesa and her family spending time with the goat that Ayan gifted them. Lesa sits down with her husband Richard to catch him up on the previous night’s events involving Caroline S. Lesa tells her husband that Caroline S. did not like that her fiancé Sergio were sort of “meshing” with Ayan and herself. Suddenly, Caroline S. says to Sergio, “I hope she’s going to suck your d***”, in reference to Lesa. Lesa’s husband says that he’s glad he wasn’t in attendance because they both considered that comment to be inappropriate to say to a married woman and it would have made him angry. Richard throws shade by telling Lesa, “Listen, don’t engage with people like that. We’re talking about a 50-year-old influencer here.”

 

To further develop their friendship, Caroline S. invites Ayan over for dinner. In her confessional Caroline S. says, “I’ve separated the pole from the puppet so now maybe she’ll have her own brain. Lesa’s head is up Ayan’s a** and maneuver’s her body.” Caroline strongly feels that Ayan and Lesa are codependent on each other and can’t think for themselves. Ayan arrives at Stanbury’s home and makes note that she wants to see Caroline in her natural element to better understand who she is. The topic of more kids comes up and Sergio is wanting one or two kids to add to the family, but Caroline doesn’t share the same excitement. Caroline states, “I’m not a family-oriented person at all. I went to boarding school from age 6 to 18. I went to a therapist once and she said that I basically went to the army.” Caroline credits boarding school to shaping her feelings this way and not being good with emotions.  

 

Sara takes Nina over to one of her family’s homes. Nina and Sara bond over their shared Arab culture as Sara’s family shares some of her childhood stories and viewers get an insight into how her entrepreneur mindset began at the young age of six. Nina appreciates Sara sharing these moments with her family as she is reminded of the memorabilia that her own family lost in the war in Lebanon. Nina talks about how her family struggled after moving to the United States because they started with nothing. It has made her appreciate everything and to take nothing for granted.

 

In the downtown Dubai mall, Ayan meets Lesa, and they catch up on what has happened since they last saw each other. Ayan tells Lesa that she went over to Caroline’s home and that they each had a nice time. Lesa tells Ayan about the comment Caroline S. made the other night but states that she wants to move forward and have fun with Caroline S. However, the day has arrived, and Caroline B has arranged for Phaedra, Shawn, Lesa, Caroline S., and Sergio to meet up at Ski Dubai. Caroline B. informs Phaedra that she has invited Lesa and Caroline even though the ladies don’t really like each other. In her confessional, Caroline B admits, “Phaedra said she wanted some tea. When she said that I knew exactly the tea bag I was gonna stir. Lesa Milan. Caroline Stanbury. Drink up Phaedra, enjoy.” 

 

Lesa arrives before Caroline S. and Caroline B. takes this opportunity to inform Lesa that Caroline S. is coming. Lesa says in her confessional, “She knows we don’t get along, what is her motive? When I tell you this woman is messy, she is the definition of messy! Sour and bitter messy.” Phaedra, Caroline B., and Lesa are all dressed and ready to hit the ski slopes when Caroline S. arrives and announces that she will not join the other ladies in wearing the ski outfits provided by the resort. The tension between Caroline S. and Lesa ignites immediately because Lesa doesn’t feel like Caroline S. is being a team player. Caroline B. admits that she doesn’t think that Lesa has ever given Caroline S. a fair chance but she says, “If a b***h ever told me to suck someone’s d***, I would snatch that b***h and that would be the last thing she ever says. Period.” 

 

The ladies gear up to hit the slopes! Although Caroline S. won’t be skiing because she’s only there to hang out and meet Phaedra. Caroline S. gives the impression that the baby slopes in Ski Dubai are beneath her. As Lesa goes gliding by, Caroline S. says, “She’s lucky I’m not pushing her faster down that mountain. The way I feel about that woman right now, I don’t care where that pole ends up.” Caroline B. admits that she was hoping this would be an opportunity for Lesa and Caroline S to mend but gives a shady laugh. 

 

Later, everyone gathers for Ayan’s birthday dinner at Shanghai Me. As Ayan arrives with her son, she greets all the guests and thanks them for coming. Ayan asks Lesa how the goat is doing, and Caroline B. jokingly asks Ayan, “Why did I get lemons and not a goat?” Ayan responds, “It started bitter but, in the end, we made lemonade which is sweet.” Indicating that her relationship with Caroline B. was sour but they both decided to make it better. Caroline S. jumps in and says, “Well I got nothing. If that isn’t a subliminal message, then I don’t know what was.” In her confessional Ayan says, “Nothing. That is the best gift that I could have given her.” 

 

The conversation shifts to Sergio and Caroline’s upcoming wedding. Caroline S. brings up the fact that she doesn’t want to spend the entire time sitting with Sergio’s parents because she has tons of friends coming in from LA that she wants to spend time with. Nina interjects and thinks Caroline should spend more time with Sergio’s parents since they’ve never met. Sergio does appear to be a bit saddened about Caroline’s stance even though Nina is doing her best to try to get through to Caroline. She wants her to see the other perspective. Nina states, “Caroline to you it’s no offense but others could be offended by that.” Sergio and Caroline begin to bicker, and it doesn’t seem like they’ll reach a resolution. Caroline S. admits that she doesn’t speak to her parents but twice a year so it’s very foreign to her how Sergio is with his family. Maybe it’s true or maybe it’s just shade but Ayan predicts this relationship not to last more than 3 years.

 

Stay tuned for upcoming episodes of the Real Housewives of Dubai, Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo!

Brian Redmond Shares What It’s Really Like Being A Part Of “Kandi And The Gang”

Kandi Burrus ain’t ever missed a meal or a coin. “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star is back with another spin-off: “Kandi and the Gang”. The show follows Kandi’s restaurant, Old Lady Gang, her family and their staff. We’re two episodes in and Brian Redmond is already a breakout star. 

 

Since filming, Brian describes the experience as surreal. “I really cannot believe it, it’s been a four year journey from when Todd first came to me with everything, and I’m just ecstatic that it’s finally here,” says Brian. “We had a lot of hiccups and a lot of obstacles, but we finally made it. High anxiety is all I can say. As a boss Brian would describe Kandi as laid back, loyal and understanding. He says, “what you see is what you get. She ain’t gonna take no stuff though.” He goes on to say that she is exactly the same in real life as she is on TV.

 

In episode two Brian opens up about his struggle with substance abuse. Regarding alcohol and drugs he states, “drinking was a part of it, but before the drugs I drank like a normal person. My journey with the drugs started and everything completely went left.” He would wake up and start the day with cocaine. He would even call it his “wake up”, to feel normal. He admits that he would even have the dope man come into his job. Brian is honest and sincere about his struggles in hopes that his story may help a lot of people. “When you’re honest, can’t nobody say nothing.”

 

You’d think that anyone with a substance abuse history would find it hard to work at a restaurant that serves alcohol, but Brian revealed that the drinks aren’t really the issue at OLG. He takes more issue with some of his coworkers, like Brandon, who he believes should take more initiative as a manager. Brian says that Brandon can be lazy. Brian would describe himself as a team player; if you need a drink he’s got it, if he needs to fry some chicken, he’ll fry some chicken, but he makes it clear he’s not cleaning the bathroom, but he knows who to get to clean it. 

 

Word on the street is that Brian is a singer, but he would refer to himself as a renaissance man. “As you see throughout, I have a lot of hats, wigs, toupees, all kinds of stuff.”

 

The LGBTQIA+ representation on the show is real. Redmond says, “I think it’s great to finally start seeing it on TV in this way. Normally you know we’re like the standby or the bestfriend or the one you go out with. We’re usually the add on, the accessory, we’re never really the actual stars of the show.

 

i’m very much so happy to see it. I think it is about time. I feel like a lot of networks, if you really look from afar, have been scared to do it. They don’t know how it’s gonna reflect. If you see it in real life happening and now you see it in numbers and on other shows, “hey RuPaul”, Then why not try it. It’s called taking a risk. And the risk is coming with some good results behind it so it’s about time. I’m glad they dived in and just went all the way and said hey let’s do it.”

 

Brian joins us in playing the shady truth game. When asked who is always on time he picks his bestie Torin, and as to who is always late, Dom’Unique and Shawndreca. According to Brian Torin is also the most helpful on the clock, while Shawndreca is the least helpful and always on her phone, along with Brandon. 

 

No one really gets in trouble anymore, but Brian says back in the day he probably got the most heat. He is closest to Torin and Shawndreca. “She’s been coming over the house. We’ve gotten a lot closer like the last year and a half.”

 

When asked who he would like to know better, it was a no brainer, Phillip. He describes him as rigid at work, so he would like to see that other side to him. When the staff goes out Phillip will join every now and then. “He’ll pop in, like a plant, then he’s gone. I don’t understand,” says Redmond. 

 

Lastly, if he could demote anyone it would be Brandon. He’d put him in “dishes.”

RHONJ Episode 4 Recap: Teresa Giudice Is Tired Of Her Castmates, Storms Off After Luis Ruelas Rumors Surface

The latest episode of RHONJ picked up with a cliffhanger. The ladies are at Jackie’s ‘frat party’ and in typical ‘frat’ fashion there was a “whose dick is bigger” argument. Well…in this case whose loyalty is bigger: Jacki vs Dolores. Don’t tell Jacki, but I think Dolores won. 

 

Disclaimer: Teresa was in Boston as the ladies gathered at Jackie’s event, otherwise this night might have gone down differently, but keep reading as her return is explosive. 

 

Dolores is upset that Jackie would go behind her back and tell Jennifer that she doesn’t think Dolores has been the kind of friend that Jennifer needs. “I’ve known Dolores since she was 19 years old,” says Frank Catana, “Dolores grew up on the streets of Patterson; she’s a street fighter.” He even goes on to say that she once got into a fight in a bar and bit through two of a girl’s nails. Dolores takes her beef and moves over to Jennifer for not speaking up about her feelings towards her. Dolores has told the ladies that she called it quits with David, her boyfriend of the last few years, so that might explain her reaction. 

 

The beef then moves onto Margaret and Jennifer as they have a one-on-one conversation. “I don’t want to have issues with you, but you had a double standard. You crucified me for it,” says Margaret. Jennifer is adamant it’s not the same. Margaret responds, “it is the same, your husband was like me.” Referring to the fact that she was unfaithful in her first marriage, just as Bill was unfaithful to Jennifer 10 years ago. “Okay that’s fair,” says Jennifer. 

 

This might be the closest we’ve gotten to an apology from Jennifer since her crusade against Margaret, where she slut shamed her relentlessly for a year. 

 

Margaret is up there with housewives who are considered trustworthy narrators but she may have missed the mark while Jennifer was explaining that she’s part of the Syrian Orthodox community. Jennifer goes on to say that they all know her husband Bill. “I don’t want him to be humiliated, my family’s name, it’s my in-laws, they’re going to blame me for everything.” She wouldn’t be surprised if they thought it was her fault for being a bad wife, if she wasn’t sleeping with him enough. For now this conversation between the two foes has been put to bed.

 

Trigger warning: eating disorder coming up

 

In a previous episode we saw Jackie having an honest conversation with her husband Evan about her eating disorder. Jackie says her eating is so ritualized. Which leads one to wonder if old habits really do die hard? Evan admits that her children have been noticing her eating patterns lately, and they’ve even asked “why is mom eating the same dinner every night?” The most tearful moment was when Jackie says “I’m afraid i”m going to relapse and kill myself, I just don’t want to do this anymore.” 

 

A round of applause to Jackie for being brave enough to share her story,  and to her husband Evan for being so incredibly supportive. Later on we see Jackie seek help as she visits The Renfrew Center, expert eating disorder treatment. Below you can find a link to locations across the US. 

 

Dolores’ family are all about to be under one roof, for the first time, so they’ve called a family meeting to set ground rules, including but not limited to no girls, for Frank senior. Dolores’ family might just be one of my favorite family dynamics across any housewife franchise. Her ex-husband Frank, aka her best friend, father to her children, who in fact did not raise them, nor live with them, is actually moving in with them for the first time, as grown adults. You really can’t make this stuff up, and I am here for it. 

 

At Jennifer’s shore house we see Jennifer recap Teresa about the frat party last weekend. This is our first time really hearing from Jennifer’s mouth that Dolores has not been a friend to her. And in an awkward moment Teresa suggests that the BBQ should be moved from Teresa’s house to Jennifer’s backyard. The look on Jennifer’s face says it all. Could this be Teresa stirring the pot or protecting her boyfriend from the cameras?

Luis Ruelas Video That Is Talked About During The Season

 

My favorite line while at the beach comes when Margaret describes Luis: “He is charming, he’s good looking. So is a car salesman.” And then Margaret’s husband says “Sometimes when there’s that much smoke there’s gotta be some fire.” 

 

The couple that shades together stays together.

 

Dolores finds Jackie’s newfound friendship with Jennifer suspicious. She reveals that at Teresa’s pool party Jackie had some nasty words to say about Jennifer’s husband, bill. According to Dolores, Jackie said “I don’t care he shouldn’t have stuck his dick in someone else.”

 

Teresa says that Luis won’t make it to the beach because of traffic, but after what we find out, he might have arrived late on purpose. 

 

Back at the shore house Teresa gets a call from Luis where he says “he’s a few minutes away” then he follows with “I just want to get out of here”. Teresa gasps and says “why? I’m mic’d.” Luis tells her to turn it off. Shortly after Melissa gets a text from Teresa and she reads it to the group. According to Melissa, Teresa instructed them to not say a word (we can only imagine she’s referring to the video circulating about Luis) , do the right thing and to back up her boyfriend. 

 

The episode ends with every viewers dream: A fourth wall break

 

Producer: Teresa…

Teresa: What happened with Luis?

Producer: We talked to him in the parking lot, and he’s all upset. Did he talk to you about it?

Teresa: No (we know this is a lie because of the text she had sent Melissa)

Producer: I think he feels like everyone is talking about him, and he wants to know why.

Teresa: I told him not to come around if he feels like that. He does not deserve this; he does not have to prove anything.

Producer: Here’s the thing, the story’s out there 

Teresa: (raising her voice) I don’t want to discuss it. They’re not happy for us, they want to sabotage us.

Producer: Where are you going?

Teresa: I’m leaving

 

Producer follows Teresa as she’s leaving Jennifer’s house. Teresa turns around and loudly asks “Why are they still filming?” while looking dead at the cameraman. Teresa gets in her boyfriend’s car but not without letting the producer know that they can all go eff themselves.

RHOC’s Heather Dubrow says Kelly Dodd is ‘sad’ and ‘pathetic’

Somewhere in Orange County, Mariah Carey is playing “Obsessed” for Heather Dubrow based on Kelly Dodd’s action. According to Heather, Kelly is “sad” and “pathetic” due to Dodd’s recording of Heather and her husband, Dr. Terry Dubrow, while they were at dinner.

Dodd’s captured the picture and posted on her Instagram,”Dumb and dumber right there, f—k faces.”

Heather made a comment to Page Six stating, “It makes me laugh. Kelly seems to talk about me a lot, so at this point I don’t know whether to be really flattered that she’s so obsessed with me or sad for her that she has no other content.” But, ⁠the feud between the two has gone on for quite some time now.

Dubrow commented that part of the reason she decided to come back was because ex-stars including Dodd, were not coming back. Their hatred for each other escalated in the Summer when Dodd accused Dubrow’s son of giving her COVID-19. She apologized for the comment. Shortly after, Heather and Dr. Terry filed a cease-and-desist order on Kelly, suing her for the comments she made about their son and COVID-19.

Heather Dubrow expressed that the women who leave the Real Housewives franchise should “exit gracefully and figure out what comes next in their lives”. Guess Dodds didn’t get the how-to-guide fresh off the show.

“No. 1: You don’t burn bridges and No. 2 you have to figure out your next steps, and I don’t think sitting at a restaurant filming former cast members is a viable employment opportunity, and it just seems sad, pathetic,” Heather shared to Page Six.

Andy Cohen Responds To Possible NeNe Leakes Return To RHOA

In September 2020, the OG cast member of the ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’, NeNe Leakes, decided that she was not returning to the show for the 13th season via a YouTube video. According to her, it wasn’t an easy decision to make.

The Bravolebrity broke down in tears on ‘The Tamron Hall Show’ back in October stating that all she wanted was to be treated fairly by the network. When asked if she would come back to the show, she replied, “No, I do not.”

People change, feelings change too because Leakes has come full circle and changed her mind. In an interview with ‘The Real’, she told the ladies, “she would be happy to return to the show” IF only she and Andy had a sit down to discuss “unfinished business”.

A couple weeks later, Watch What Happens Live host and Housewives executive producer Andy Cohen appeared on ‘The Real’ and was asked if there was any possibility Leakes could return to the show after her recent statements.

On ‘The Real’, Cohen and his response seemed rather general than specific. “You know, we are in the midst of shooting season 14 of the Atlanta housewives, and it’s great and Marlo has her peach and Shereé is back, and we have some new faces and some great faces and Kenya Moore is on fire, and so I am really focused right now on season 14 of the housewives of Atlanta and not really looking beyond that right now” said Cohen.

Should Andy Cohen let NeNe Leakes back on The Real Housewives of Atlanta or has she lost her peach for good? This is the question of the century for RHOA fans, but I guess we will have to wait a little longer for NeNe to make her grand return to the show.
