by Roxanne June 9, 2023
written by Roxanne

Louie Ruelas‘ ex-girlfriend, the one who has claimed to be the victim of being in a abusive relationship with a narcissist, has filed a restraining order on Louie Ruelas. For those who don’t know, Louie Ruelas actually filed a restraining order against the ex-girlfriend back in 2020.

Vanessa Reiser has a history of labeling her exes and attempting to defame them to anyone who will listen. Prior to Louie, Vanessa was married two previous times. Vanessa claims that her first husband who she had a son with was abusive. She claims her second husband Glenn Reiser was a cheater and she has now labeled Teresa Giudice’s husband Louie Ruelas a narcissist.

Prior to marrying her second husband Glenn, Vanessa also allegedly dated a man named Paul Devlin who has association with MLB. Paul claimed that Vanessa stole his jeep and then put an order of protection against him. 
According to court documents Paul even sent a letter to Glenn while he was married to Vanessa warning him all about Vanessa Reiser. This was found in court documents against Vanessa Reiser.

On May 18, 2018, Glenn Reiser filed a restraining order against Vanessa Reiser Glenn Reiser says that while he and Vanessa figured out their divorce, he requested to move into an extra room in the marital residence until things were all sorted out.

Glenn Reiser states that Vanessa committed the following family offenses: Disorderly conduct; Harassment in the first or second degree, stalking and criminal mischief. Glenn discusses an altercation with Vanessa where she was intoxicated, stumbling, smelling of alcohol and enraged. He asked her to leave and when she finally did, he heard a big bang and had to contact the police department filing a domestic incident report.

Glenn recalls, “The following morning, I noticed a dent on my car, which was caused by Vanessa the night prior.”

Glenn talks about an incident from May 15, 2018 where is attorney submitted their Verizon Bill which contained his phone records. Glenn says that Vanessa took it upon herself to begin contacting numbers found on her phone records and zoned in on his friend, Danielle. He describes Danielle as a married mom with an 8 year old son.
Vanessa began contacting Danielle and Danielle’s husband accusing Glenn of having an affair with Danielle. He informed his attorney.
On May 18th, 2018 — he was informed that Vanessa placed a tracker on his vehicle and has a report of his whereabouts since January, 2018. Glenn says that Vanessa had been stalking him for months.
Glenn says,

“Since May 16th, Vanessa has been contacting Danielle’s husband, my sister and our mutual friends non-stop, harassing, and making false accusations that I have been having an affair. Moreso, Vanessa is making threats to Danielle. This is affecting my work and my day to day being. Vanessa has no legitimate reason to engage in this behavior. I moved from the marital residence in December, 2017 and we are in the middle of an action for divorce.”

Glenn pleads, “I am afraid for my safety, and Vanessa’s behavior. Vanessa does not want a divorce and her behavior has been increasingly erratic since being served with the action for divorce. She is unstable.”

Glenn then requests an order of protection that Vanessa be ordered to stay away from him, his home, work place, and that Vanessa refrain from any and all communication with him or any third parties about him.

The ex-girlfriend has allegedly been stalking Louie Ruelas and repeating the same exact patterns since he got with Teresa Giudice even messaging AllAboutTRH on Instagram regarding Louie’s earlier appearance. The ex-girlfriend has made Louie Ruelas last few years a living hell and claims Louie Ruelas allegedly abused her, yet continues following all of his wife’s co-stars, Melissa’s family members, Melissa Gorga, Joe Gorga, Frank Catania and more. She engages regularly with Melissa Gorgas sisters and comments on majority of Melissa Gorgas photos. Joe Gorga and Frank Catania both follow her. All videos that have been released of Louie Ruelas since appearing on the Real Housewives were videos he had sent the ex-girlfriend. 

This ex-girlfriend has allegedly been in contact with Margaret Josephs for the last few years and they both follow each other on Instagram. Victims who have been horrifically abused as Vanessa Reiser has claimed, typically want nothing to do with the abuser. As for Vanessa, she has made it her mission to ruin Louie Ruelas life even following Teresa Giudice’s daughters on social media before they blocked her. 

The story of Vanessa Reiser and Louie Ruelas:

This deep dive comes from Bravo Ducking Bravo who did a great job with laying out all the details

According to the court documents, on March 25, 2020, the couple break up and Vanessa entered the main home with a friend, carrying black garbage bags. Louie states that he was watching a movie with one of his sons and she was very disruptive, yelling, and scared the son. The next day Louie takes legal action 

Bravo ducking Bravo recaps that Louie formally requested that she no longer contact him, disparage him publicly. He also asked that she return the ring, reimburse him for $175k spent on his Amex card and return a peloton bike leased by his company.

 A few days later the ex-girlfriend reaches out to Louie’s friend to ask him to communicate with Louie on her behalf.

Bravo ducking Bravo says that “during their relationship, they were active donors at a charity for women. Louie states that he helped her become a board member. He had been a longtime supporter of theirs. On April 1, he emailed the Director of organization and Vanessa heard about it. He explained why he believed Vanessa may not be a good fit for the organization.”

In the court document, which showcases the letter written by Louie, Louie explains that Vanessa verbally abused him on a regular, along with psychological manipulation to threats of personal and professional harm.

Elizabeth, 

I hope this email finds you well.  As you know, I have been a supporter of the important work of the Center for Safety and Change (CSC) for a number of years. Having witnessed, first hand, as a child, the impact of intimate partner violence, I believe deeply in the value of the resources provided by CSC. 

As a business owner, I am mindful of the fact that an organization is made up of individuals, and its vision and success is guided by the Board of Directors. It is for that reason I write you today, as I am concerned about the propriety of Vanessa Reiser, LCSW remaining on the Board of Directors for the CSC. 

As you know, Ms. Reiser and I were in a relationship for several years and it was, in part, my recommendation and support that facilitated Ms. Reiser’s appointment to the Board. At the time, Ms. Reiser and I had only been in an intimate relationship for a relatively short period of time and I believed that she was committed to the fundamental moral and philosophical principals on which CSC was founded. 

Unfortunately, in retrospect, I am now aware that at the time I made the recommendation Ms. Reiser was engaging me in the “honeymoon phase” commonly identified in the “wheel” model of intimate partner violence. What followed, in the months after, was a classic presentation of coercive control and intimate partner abuse that, with the support of family and friends, I was only able to extricate myself from over the last several weeks. From verbal abuse, and psychological manipulation to threats of personal and professional harm, Ms. Reiser repeatedly utilized her background in mental health to engage in “gaslighting” tactics against me, all while taking terrible advantage of me financially, including, but not limited to, such behaviors as removing funds from my accounts without my prior knowledge or consent. Again, like so many perpetrators of intimate partner abuse, while she was engaging in these behaviors, Ms. Reiser successfully isolated me and “fed” estrangements between myself and my support system, to ensure that I would remain susceptible to her control. 

While I am working hard, with the support of friends and professionals, to heal from the emotional and psychological harm Ms. Reiser’s behaviors caused to me, and working with my attorney to pursue all available remedies for the aforesaid financial improprieties, I wanted to bring these issues to your attention so that you may take whatever steps may be appropriate to address the impact of same on Ms. Reiser’s propriety as a Board Member for CSC. It is my belief that her continued participation on the Board of Directors threatens and undermines the credibility of CSC. 

I know that you, personally, and CSC, as an organization, are deeply committed to increasing awareness of intimate partner violence and supporting those who have been impacted by it. The presence of an individual, on the Board of Directors, who engages in the very behaviors that the CSC was founded to prevent and eradicate is deeply problematic. Although I have no desire to involve you, or any third parties in issues arising from the end of a relationship, my conscience required that I bring this matter to your attention so that you may take whatever steps you deem appropriate to protect the Board and CSC mission. 

Can you please forward this email to Linie Chang Rand, I don’t have her email. 

Thank you for your attention and consideration.  

Respectfully-

Louie 

In another court document, Louie reveals, similarly to what Glenn did, that Vanessa would locate him and “fed” estrangements between Louie and his support system, to ensure he remains under her control. 

The court document states that two days later Vanessa contacted Louie and in a moment of weakness he responded to her. He says that “she was recording our conversation and trying to convince me not to pursue my claims for the ring and money.”

Two weeks later, Vanessa files a civil action/complaint about keeping a business that Louie made for her. She asks for control of the business that he made for her

Louie files a suit right afterwards and states he is only filing because she wont return the ring and money owed to him. He says she has engaged in sociopathic behavior to financially and emotionally harm him, a longstanding and well documented pattern of behavior that she has engaged in throughout her romantic life with past lovers. 

In Louie’s suit filed following her suit, Louie talks about what happened when they were in Massachusetts following an argument, Louie says she gave him back the engagement ring, claiming, as she did in May 2019, that she was not going to marry Louie without him giving her money. Louie says he was not going to fall for her extortion again and told her he was going to leave the hotel and go home. He offered to drive home with her but asked her to stay elsewhere that evening as he wanted to discuss the breakup with his sons without her present. Louie says she refused to come with him or stay elsewhere so he drove away. Louie then called the police and alerted them to the situation as he did not want to be in an altercation with her in case she showed up to his house. After driving off, several hours later, the ex-girlfriends son calls Louie and says that Vanessa wanted to be picked up at the hotel. He turned around to find her and 90 minutes later, Vanessa’s son called again and said she found a ride. He says when he returned home – Vanessa was already in the driveway of his house, waiting to take items out. And that Vanessa put her son up to calling him simply to waste his time.

For the last few years Vanessa Reiser has made the world believe Louie Ruelas is a narcissist. So what exactly is a Narcissist?

Narcissistic personality disorder involves a pattern of self-centered, arrogant thinking and behavior, a lack of empathy and consideration for other people, and an excessive need for admiration. Others often describe people with NPD as cocky, manipulative, selfish, patronizing, and demanding. This way of thinking and behaving surfaces in every area of the narcissist’s life: from work and friendships to family and love relationships.

People with narcissistic personality disorder are extremely resistant to changing their behavior, even when it’s causing them problems. Their tendency is to turn the blame on to others. What’s more, they are extremely sensitive and react badly to even the slightest criticisms, disagreements, or perceived slights, which they view as personal attacks. For the people in the narcissist’s life, it’s often easier just to go along with their demands to avoid the coldness and rages.

We are told from former friends of Vanessa Reiser that Vanessa hated Louie Ruelas ex-fiancee Paula, and would talk about her obsessively but reached out to her when she and Louie broke up so that they could essentially “frame him.” Our sources say she reached out to Paula one time prior to ask about her ring.

This is still an ongoing case but in 2021 a Judge ordered that Louie keeps the office computer after it wipes off her info and that Vanessa keeps her website/business, pays Louie 20k, keeps the remaining funds in her account and that neither will lie about the other, make derogatory statements about the other, harass the other. Something Vanessa has failed to follow.

Vanessa Reiser has now given herself the title of a Narcissism expert and calls herself a “solution-focused “psychotherapist offering sessions despite her history. She even recently move to New Jersey with sources telling us, “she is trying to get on the show. It would be a dream come true if she was cast.”

That’s not all – we recently got insight by multiple AllAboutTRH readers that Vanessa Reiser would go into the social chat app clubhouse on Dave Quinn’s club and would always speak in the room.

Vanessa recently made headlines after she alleged that one of her patients were actually hired to “spy” on her by Louie Ruelas. She filed a restraining order against him despite being the one who is talking about him daily and contacting anyone affiliated with Teresa Giudice. Prior to providing the restraining order to Page Six, Vanessa Reiser called former RHONJ friend of, Kim D and told her that she was going to be putting a story out there and to spread the word. Not something a normal victim of abuse would do.

Vanessa Reiser is allegedly behind the video leaks of Louie Ruelas and she mostly engages on Melissa Gorga, Melissa Gorgas sisters Lysa Simpson and Kim as well as Teresa Giudice’s brother Joe Gorgas Instagram account commenting on each post. She also comments on Melissa and Joe’s daughter Antonia’s Instagram account. Melissa’s sisters will comment back on her page and are following her as well.

Vanessa Reiser has also developed a close relationship with Kim D after spilling tea on Louie Ruelas. She smiled as she walked Kim D’s recent fashion show. Vanessa Reiser is a mom of one who spends her days raising awareness for narcissistic abuse despite it being clear she has a history of narcissistic traits with her ex-partners. She has an RHONJ highlight on her Instagram page and continues to befriend anyone who isn’t a fan of Louie Ruelas and Teresa Giudice.

EXCLUSIVE Timeline: Melissa Gorga Promises To Put Drama Behind With Teresa Giudice

by Roxanne April 5, 2023
written by Roxanne

Melissa Gorga has admitted that season 13 of RHONJ became the “lowest of the low” with sister-in-law Teresa Giudice. Despite that – there was a point that Melissa Gorga acted as if she did want to move forward with Teresa Giudice. 

On the most recent episode of the Real Housewives of New Jersey, we watch as Joe Gorga makes a huge allegation when speaking to Melissa Gorga regarding Teresa Giudice and her close friend Dina Manzo’s relationship. Joe Gorga accuses Dina’s husband David (sic) Cantin of calling Joe Gorga because they are “friendly” to tell him that he had a business go wrong with Teresa’s fiancee, Louie Ruelas. 

Our sources close to the cast tell us that Joe Gorgas claims are absolutely not true saying,

“Dave has met Joe Gorga once and that was at Teresa’s engagement party. He wouldn’t even consider himself friendly with Joe. And no one has ever called Dave, David like Joe did on the show. The allegation made by Joe Gorga is absolutely not true.”

In another scene, Dolores Catania and Jennifer Aydin proudly reveal that they have been asked to be Teresa Giudice’s bridesmaid which makes Melissa Gorga extremely angry. Melissa continues to poke Dolores about how weird it is that she would walk in Teresa’s wedding all while saying Dina (Manzo) Cantin dropped out of the wedding and that is the only reason Teresa is asking her.

In this exclusive timeline – we found out that the Turkish event happened on July 14th, 2022 but that on July 12th, 2022, two days before the event, right after the Jersey Shore incident – Melissa had sent text messages that we reported last month to Teresa Giudice, Joe Gorga and Louie Ruelas.

In the text, Melissa says she wants to put everything behind them and just be happy. Melissa Gorga also says that she and Joe Gorga are very happy for Teresa Giudice and Louie Ruelas. Teresa responds that she is sorry for anything she has done that has contributed to this space between them.

Text Messages Between Teresa Giudice & Melissa Gorga
Text Messages Between Teresa Giudice & Melissa Gorga

Melissa sent the text message on July 12th and Teresa Giudice responded at 1am on July 13th. 

The Turkish coffee event was on July 14th. The same day Melissa acted furious that Dolores agreed to walk in Teresa’s wedding and it’s also the same event that Melissa accuses Teresa Giudice of only asking Dolores because Dina Manzo isn’t walking.

What was shocking is that Melissa Gorga never mentions anything about these texts to the ladies during the Turkish event. She and Joe Gorga tend to talk about things that happen outside of the show with Teresa Giudice and Louie Ruelas and if Melissa was being sincere and wanting to make peace – why wouldn’t she mention this or mention Teresa’s response?

Are you surprised by the timeline?

What allegation did Joe Gorga make about Teresa Giudice and Dina Manzo's relationship?

Joe Gorga alleged that Dina Manzo’s husband, David Cantin, called him to inform him about a business issue involving Teresa Giudice’s fiancé, Louie Ruelas.

Did Joe Gorga's claims about David Cantin's involvement with Teresa Giudice and Louie Ruelas turn out to be true?

No, according to sources close to the cast, Joe Gorga’s claims are not true. They state that David Cantin has only met Joe Gorga once at Teresa’s engagement party and does not consider himself friendly with him.

Did Melissa Gorga mention the text messages she sent to Teresa Giudice during the Turkish event?

No, Melissa Gorga did not mention anything about the text messages to the ladies during the Turkish event. Despite sending a message expressing her desire to put everything behind them and be happy, she did not bring up this topic or mention Teresa’s response.

AllAboutTRH EXCLUSIVE: Melissa Gorga Was Asked To Be A Bridesmaid in Teresa’s Wedding While Filming Season 13 But Declined

by Roxanne August 15, 2022
written by Roxanne

So much Jersey drama, and the season hasn’t even started! Season 13 officially wrapped up a few days prior to Teresa Giudice’s wedding. Melissa and Joe Gorga decided not to come to the wedding, and Joe Gorga basically blamed it on the fact that Melissa wasn’t asked to be in the wedding, nor was his kids. He also said he “barely” was asked, explaining, “Let’s go back to the reunion. She did this. This was all on her. This is what she really wanted. She didn’t want [Melissa] in the wedding. She didn’t want any of my children in the wedding. She barely wanted me. I was asked after all this information went out to be in the wedding, and that’s what saddens me. And I knew that. And when I left that reunion, I looked at my wife, and I was like, ‘Wow, she hates us. I’ve never seen her like this.’ I said, ‘It’s terrible.”

Teresa Giudice has yet to speak out since her wedding, and we have only heard from Melissa and Joe Gorga.

Sources close to producers tell us EXCLUSIVELY that Melissa Gorga was asked to be in the wedding, “Teresa initially was going to have only a few people walk in her wedding. When season 13 started, everyone had made peace, and all was going well. Teresa decided to ask Dolores, Jennifer & Melissa to walk in the wedding. Teresa admitted it was late for her to ask, but she would love for her close girlfriends to be by her side, and it was a peace offering for Melissa so they can just move forward. Melissa declined, saying she is not walking and Teresa should stick to her initial decision.”

As far as Dolores and Jennifer? They were thrilled, “they understand things change with weddings all the time, and if she now wanted a bigger bridal party, they were happy to be a part of it. They love her and support her and just wanted her to have a great day since it’s her big day. “

And what about Joe Gorga saying he “barely” was asked? Another insider tells AllAboutTRH exclusively, “he was asked in the beginning. There was no barely about it. Louie was genuine and sweet with him. He has always been very respectful to Joe Gorga. Joe Gorga accepted and was excited about it. A few days later, he declined because he realized Melissa wasn’t asked. Louie respected his decision and had no hard feelings.”

I have a feeling these two families will have a hard time recovering from this.

Do you think the Gorga’s should have just went?

Emily Simpson Breaks Down Why She Believes Tamra Judge Leaked RHOC Storylines

by Roxanne October 31, 2025
written by Roxanne

The season 19 finale of The Real Housewives of Orange County left fans reeling and Emily Simpson is still trying to process what happened. The drama centered on claims that Tamra Judge may have been sharing confidential show information with bloggers.

In the final moments of the season, Shannon Storms Beador, Jennifer Pedranti, and Gina Kirschenheiter spoke with an unnamed individual who alleged that Tamra Judge was leaking top-secret information about the Bravo series. Although Emily, 49, wasn’t present for the call, she believes Tamra, 58, may have shared storylines.

“I’m sure she did, because the amount of information that this person knew — it was detailed,” Emily exclusively shared with Us Weekly while promoting Wife Swap: The Real Housewives Edition on Thursday, October 30. “It was dates. It was who was there. It was where we were filming. It was content.”

What really caught Emily’s attention was the level of detail the mysterious source had, including screenshots allegedly showing Gretchen Rossi “liking” anti-LGBTQIA+ posts. (Gretchen, 47, denied “liking” the post when Gina, 41, and Tamra brought up screenshots in Amsterdam.)

“That’s detailed information that only cast and production would know about,” Emily said. “So, clearly, someone leaked it, and the fact that they said it was Tamra? I mean, I believe them. I’m sure that she does or has done it for years. I think it just caught up with her. There’s no reason for me not to believe that it was her. It seemed very black and white.”

The drama is expected to continue during the three-part reunion show, but many cast members seem convinced that the “Two T’s in a Pod” podcast cohost is capable of this kind of behavior. During Thursday’s finale, Shannon, 61, and Jennifer, 48, openly criticized Tamra after hearing from the anonymous source.

“Tamra will do anything for maximum impact,” Jennifer claimed in a confessional. “I think she will hurt anybody. I think she will leak information, and I think she’s probably one of the most calculative, scary, dangerous people within this friend group.”

Shannon added, “How dare you try to destroy so much for your own benefit? I really can’t come up with another word other than evil.”

Tensions are also brewing between Tamra and Emily as the reunion approaches. “I feel like Tamra came into the reunion with a chip on her shoulder towards me, and I don’t even understand where that came from,” Emily said. “There’s this surprise ending — I’m not even in that end and I’m not even part of that — and after that, she comes at me. I’m thinking, ‘There are three other people that were just sitting here just destroying you, and you’re yelling at me.’ I don’t know. I don’t understand it.”

As fans eagerly await the reunion, it’s clear that the fallout from season 19 is far from over—and Emily Simpson is right in the middle of it.

Melissa Gorga recently returned to reality television with her appearance on Wife Swap, a move that was surprising even to her.

In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, she revealed that despite multiple offers, she is being very selective about her next projects.

When asked if she might participate in other reality competition shows in the future, Melissa explained:

“I don’t know. I just turned down a couple. I actually turned down Special Forces. I was like, Oh my gosh, that is not for me. There was another one, too. I’m very picky when it comes to that. I’m still in shock I did Wife Swap, so baby steps.”

Her decision to specifically mention Special Forces is particularly noteworthy. Teresa Giudice and Gia Giudice, her sister-in-law and niece, with whom she has had a complicated and at times estranged relationship, appeared on the most recent season of the show. By highlighting Special Forces while leaving the other offers unnamed, Melissa subtly signals that she was offered similar opportunities as her family but chose not to participate.

Melissa also noted how being on wife swap was a mini homecoming to Bravo saying, “I think the fans are excited. I think the fans miss Jersey so much. They need a minute of Jersey, right? I can’t get over how excited everyone is, and I’m excited to have a little catch up with everyone, and show them [my life]. The kids grow so much each year, sometimes even when we film and then it airs six months later, they look so different. Imagine, it’s been a couple years. I feel like my kids are going to look so grown to everyone. I’m excited to be back and have a minute with everyone, because we missed it.”

Kyle Richards is opening up about her future on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

The reality star, 56, caught up with PEOPLE at Raising Brows Live hosted by Anastasia Soare and Oprah Winfrey on Thursday, Oct. 23, where she shared that the “day obviously will come” for her to leave the long-running Bravo show — but it’s not happening just yet.

For now, Richards has already finished filming season 15 as the last remaining original cast member. She first appeared on RHOBH in 2010 alongside Taylor Armstrong, Camille Meyer, Adrienne Maloof, Kim Richards, and Lisa Vanderpump.

“It’s been a long time. 15 years. It really is. It’s a long time,” Richards said at the event, which took place at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre in Los Angeles. “I don’t know how long this can go on, how long I can go on for.”

She explained that there have been “different times” over the years when she considered leaving but ultimately decided to stay. “I think season 2, season 5. I can think of a number of seasons where I almost walked away,” she said. “But 15 years is a long time and there’s things I want to do, and it takes up a lot of time. And Portia [Umansky] is going to college so who knows.”

Richards shares 17-year-old Portia, Alexia Simone, 29, and Sophia Kylie, 25, with her ex-husband Mauricio Umansky. She’s also mom to 36-year-old Farrah Brittany Aldjufrie, whom she welcomed with ex Guraish Aldjufrie.

Season 14, which aired in April, followed Richards as she navigated her split from her estranged husband. At the time, she told PEOPLE during the An Unforgettable Evening Benefiting the Women’s Cancer Research Fund event that she needed to “make that decision” about returning to the Bravo series for season 15 as the clock was “ticking.”

“It’s very difficult for your life [to be] out there and have the world weighing in on analyzing things and people not knowing you know the full scope of full details,” she said. “And judging you without being able to explain everything, it’s very difficult.”

“So it depends on what year and what season, whether I can handle it or not,” she added.

Jennifer Aydin's Behavior Defended After Jersey Mike's Incident: 'Categorically False and Untrue!'

Jennifer Aydin Confirms She’s Out of RHONJ After Six Seasons & Reveals She Wasn’t Invited to BravoCon

written by Roxanne

It looks like Jennifer Aydin’s time in the Garden State spotlight may have come to an end. After six seasons of unforgettable one-liners, family feuds, and over-the-top parties, the Real Housewives of New Jersey star says she hasn’t heard a word about returning for Season 15, and she’s totally fine with that.

In a candid Instagram video shared on October 30, the 48-year-old reality star opened up about her uncertain future with the show. “A lot of you have been asking me if I’m still on the [show] or not,” Jennifer told her followers. “I can honestly say that nobody has told me anything. And they still haven’t told me anything. But I haven’t checked either. Life’s been pretty busy.”

True to her signature no-filter approach, Jennifer admitted she only started thinking about her Housewives fate when fans brought it up. “I would only think about it when people asked, which is why I would’ve liked to have known so I can let you guys know,” she said. “You know me, I like to keep it real.”

She added, “All I’ve heard is what you’ve heard. You probably know more than me, actually. I’ve heard they are test filming. And I wasn’t invited to BravoCon. So by the looks of it, I think it’s safe to say, probably not. And that’s OK. I’m good.”

That “not invited to BravoCon” line definitely raised eyebrows among fans — especially since it’s the biggest Housewives event of the year. But if Jennifer’s upset, she’s not showing it.

In another post, she reflected on how her exit might have gone down behind the scenes. “Maybe that’s how they fire people these days, [by] just moving on without telling the person. Maybe it’s awkward for them. I don’t know,” she said. “But if they did tell me, I would’ve said, ‘Thanks for letting me know, and thanks so much for the journey — wish you guys the best!’ And I mean that. I’ll always be grateful for my time on the show. It was quite the experience, to say the least.”

Jennifer joined RHONJ back in 2018 for Season 9, quickly becoming known for her lavish lifestyle, quick wit, and her habit of saying exactly what was on her mind. Now, she’s moving on to a new kind of spotlight — podcasting.

“So it’s time to keep it moving … and I got a podcast!” she revealed. “It’s called TV Gold and it’s not about Housewives lol … Of course, I’ll touch on it at times since it was such a big part of my life, but the podcast is more going to be about pop culture, entertainment, fashion, health, wellness, and beauty! All with a flare of funny, handled by yours truly, Jennifer Aydin.”

And if you’re wondering where her head’s at these days, she left fans with one final takeaway: “Message of the day: Don’t live in the past … Learn from it and move forward.”

RHOSLC Blogger Claps Back at Claims Lisa Barlow Leaked Bronwyn’s Legal Info

Lisa Barlow is at the center of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City drama again, but this time, a Bravo blogger is speaking out to clear her name.

After Tuesday night’s episode, the account Bravo_Boo refuted claims that Barlow was responsible for leaking details about Bronwyn Newport’s alleged legal past.

During the episode, Heather Gay, 51, expressed her suspicions while talking with Whitney Rose, 39, suggesting that Lisa, 50, may have been behind the spread of information about Bronwyn’s supposed criminal charges. Heather didn’t hold back, saying she “absolutely” believed Lisa had something to do with it.

“Lisa is smarter and darker than any of us imagine,” Heather said during her confessional. “I think that she looks up everything. She keeps a score card. She is pissed about Bronwyn and her attitude and her bullshi* and she has made sure that anyone who’s interested knows her story.”

Whitney added, “Every time Lisa’s mad at someone, information leaks about them.”

Heather also noted she had witnessed Barlow “talking to other people and gathering information about Bronwyn.”

However, the blogger who first reported on Bronwyn’s alleged past set the record straight on Instagram.

“I was the first to post it and nobody leaked it to me!” Bravo Boo wrote on October 28.

They clarified that Barlow had nothing to do with their post. “Lisa Barlow never leaked anything to me about Bronwyn … I found it on my own,” the blogger stated.

While the Housewives continue to trade suspicions and side-eyes, the blogger insists Barlow is not behind the Bronwyn leak.

Andy Cohen Calls Out Lisa Barlow and Teresa Giudice for Constantly Speaking Over Others at Reunions

by Roxanne October 30, 2025
written by Roxanne

When it comes to Real Housewives reunions, no one is more in the hot seat than Andy Cohen.

Andy Cohen claps back at RHOSLC alum Jen Shah's Instagram post
Andy Cohen Calls Out Lisa Barlow and Teresa Giudice for Constantly Speaking Over Others at Reunions 116

The king of Bravo recently joined Alex Cooper on Call Her Daddy and gave fans a rare, unfiltered look into what really goes down before — and during — those infamous reunion tapings.

“It used to be a really big deal for me”

Reunions are the Super Bowl of Bravo, and Cohen used to approach them like an athlete prepping for the big game.
“Leading up to the reunion, [I’d have] hours-long prep calls with the producers,” Andy told Alex. “Speaking to the women in advance. The morning of, I would take a run. I mean, like, I was in the thing.”

But after hundreds of reunions, Cohen admits he’s streamlined his process — and it’s refreshingly normal.
“To be honest, what do I do now? I drop my kids off at school. I go, I’m like, ‘What color suit do you want me to wear? What is the set?’ I bring three ties. I go. I’m like, ‘Come on, let’s do it.’”

Even though the day is more relaxed for him now, there’s still strategy involved. “I have one call with the production team and the network,” he explained. “We talk about the seating for the reunion… where the women are… when the husbands are coming out. Sometimes I’ll say, ‘X and Y is the elephant in the room. Can we please do it at the top of the day?’ Sometimes we save the biggest mess until the end.”

Then, when the cameras roll? “Day of, it’s game day. I’m ready to play the game,” Cohen said. “I have done hundreds of reunions at this point.”

“It’s crazy, it’s crazy.”

Alex laughed at how wild that sounds — hundreds of reunions filled with drama, tears, walk-offs, and screaming matches. “How crazy is that?” she asked.

“It’s crazy, it’s crazy,” Andy admitted, laughing.

“I don’t like screaming at women. It’s a bad look.”

Of course, no reunion is without chaos — and Cohen isn’t shy about admitting when it tests his patience.
“The last couple Jersey reunions, I had a really hard time with,” he confessed. “And by the way, I don’t like screaming at women. It’s a bad look. But there are moments — and they left them in the show — where I’m like, ‘Shut the fuck up’ or whatever, or ‘Be quiet.’”

He added, “Sometimes the only way that I can get people to be quiet is to literally go crazy. And there are times I’ll say to the producers, ‘Can you mark that? You’re not using that.’ Because, you know, there are enough that are in the show, but some are just me talking over a cacophony.”

Alex couldn’t help but laugh. “It actually looks like they’re your children! Like you’re at a little school event trying to keep these kids in fucking line.”

Cohen agreed — and admitted that it takes a lot to push him to that level. “It takes more than a second,” he said.

Alex teased, “But when you get there, you go fucking feral.”

Andy laughed. “Yeah, yeah.”

“Who talks over people the most?”

When Alex pressed him for the worst offender at talking over others, Andy didn’t hesitate to name names — with love, of course.
“I think Lisa Barlow,” he started. “It’s just harder for some people to have the intake of what someone’s saying and then speak back and then figure it out. I think Lisa Barlow might be one. I think Teresa historically has — that’s been a growth area for her.”

He continued, “I feel like maybe Toya on Married to Medicine could be in there. Love you Toya, no disrespect. I think that Dr. Simone also, now that I’m in the Married to Medicine universe. Who else? I mean, I kind of feel like Jacqueline Laurita on Jersey may have been there.”

Mary Cosby Reflects on Her Marriage and Reveals Why Robert Sr. Refuses to Be on RHOSLC

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Mary Cosby is opening up about her marriage to Robert Sr. — and why fans shouldn’t expect to see him on the Bravo hit anytime soon.

After 27 years together, Mary tells PEOPLE that she and her husband “still love each other.” The reality star adds with a laugh, “I haven’t turned him off. He still cooks for the family, and he’s our rock.”

Mary says Robert Sr. has been a source of unwavering support as their 22-year-old son, Robert Jr., continues his sobriety journey after opening up about his struggles with addiction and mental health on season 5 of RHOSLC. “He always knows what to say, and he always knows how to say it,” she shares. “Truly, I told him the day before I came here, like, ‘You really know me, and I love that.’”

Even after nearly three decades, Mary says their relationship keeps evolving. “You can be married to someone and have no clue who they are even after 30 years — especially when the kids get older and you stop being a mom and you have to be a wife again,” she explains. “You almost have to relearn your husband. But I actually know him.”

The Bravo star adds that she sees them “just getting old together,” noting, “He’s just this solid piece in my life and my son’s life, and we couldn’t do it without him. We could not live life without him.”

Mary has long been open about the unconventional origins of her marriage. As she’s shared on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, she wed Robert Sr. — her late grandmother’s second husband — in what she described as an “arranged” marriage in 1998. “My grandmother told me, for herself, that she wanted me to take her place,” Mary recalled. “Basically, Robert Sr. was 20 years younger than my grandmother. My grandmother felt like she robbed his youth. So she said, ‘If something ever happens, I want you to marry one of my girls, because I know that they will be loyal to you and treat you good like you treated me.’”

But while their story has always fascinated Housewives viewers, Robert Sr. isn’t interested in being part of the drama. “He won’t come on the show for anything,” Mary says. “He’s like, ‘No, that’s for women. That’s not for me.’”

After nearly three decades of marriage, Mary and Robert Sr. continue to go strong — even if only one of them is willing to share their life with the cameras.

Lisa Barlow Breaks Down on Watch What Happens Live Over Feud With Heather Gay

Lisa Barlow became emotional on the Tuesday night (Oct. 28) episode of Watch What Happens Live as she opened up about her escalating drama with The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City co-star Heather Gay.

In the most recent episode of RHOSLC, which aired just before Barlow’s appearance in the Bravo Clubhouse, Gay confronted the Vida Tequila founder over accusations that she had been “digging up dirt” on her fellow castmates and leaking information to bloggers. The tense exchange ended with Barlow in tears, firmly denying the claims.

When host Andy Cohen asked if she was surprised that Gay had turned on her, Barlow admitted, “I felt like it was a little snakey.”

She went on to explain how deeply the confrontation affected her, saying, “It hurt my feelings a lot because I thought we were in a great place. We’ve gone through so much together. Two years ago, she had said to me, ‘I wanted everyone to hate you and when they did, it still didn’t feel good.’ So, it really hurt me that she went back.”

As Barlow’s voice began to crack, Cohen gently asked, “Are you getting emotional?” The reality star, visibly holding back tears, responded, “Yeah. It hurt my feelings.”

Barlow’s fellow Bravo star, Real Housewives of New York City cast member Erin Lichy, jumped in to offer her support. “She’s the sweetest. We were together last night and honestly, you are such a genuinely sweet person,” Lichy said. “I feel bad. I mean, you can’t do that without proof, right?”

During the show, Barlow also clarified why she lashed out during the earlier episode, explaining that her reaction came after she had initially defended Whitney Rose against claims from Bronwyn Newport that Rose was spreading gossip.

“That’s when I stood up for Whitney and said, ‘No one here would do that. Whitney wouldn’t do that. None of us would do it,’” Barlow recalled. “And then Whitney, instead of being like, ‘Thank you,’ was like, ‘You did this to me last year.’”

Barlow doubled down on her denial, adding, “I didn’t do it to you last year. It was proven, like all of your false allegations, wrong.”

Despite the emotional turmoil, Barlow maintained her composure on Watch What Happens Live, insisting that her relationships with the women of Salt Lake City remain important to her — even if rebuilding trust with Gay may take time.

Melissa Gorga Reveals How Husband Joe Changed After Housewives Wife Swap Experience

Melissa Gorga is getting real about how a surprising reality TV experiment brought fresh energy to her marriage with Joe Gorga.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey star, 46, opened up to Us Weekly about filming Bravo’s new spin on Wife Swap: The Real Housewives Edition, which premieres Tuesday, October 28. Although Melissa’s no stranger to life in front of cameras, she admitted the concept initially made her uneasy.

“There was a lot of hesitation,” Melissa confessed. “I was just like, ‘What, you want me to move in and sleep in another person’s house? And there’s another man and their children and, like, whatever animals they have?’ … I was like, ‘Absolutely not.’ I instantly said no.”

But after giving it more thought, Melissa decided to take the plunge.

“Then I thought about it, and I was like, ‘It’s kind of like one of those once in a lifetime experiences.’ … You have to do it. You have to say you did this, you know? And it was amazing. It was so emotional. I’m so happy I did it. It was really an incredible experience.”

While Melissa was initially reluctant, Joe was “more accepting” of the idea — perhaps because he got to stay home.

“In my defense, I have to leave my house and go sleep in a strange house … I couldn’t prepare for this. I couldn’t pack for this. I couldn’t do anything,” she said. “So of course, he was down for it, because he’s at home with his own kids. … It’s a lot easier for the guys than it is for the girls.”

Their three children — Antonia, 20, Gino, 18, and Joey, 15 — were just as skeptical at first.

“They were just like me,” Melissa teased. “They were like, ‘What? Absolutely not.’ … [But] they thought it was fantastic.”

Bravo’s The Real Housewives Edition of Wife Swap pairs women from the Housewives franchise with everyday families. The first season includes RHOSLC’s Angie Katsanevas, RHOC’s Emily Simpson, and RHOP’s Wendy Osefo — though Wendy’s episode was postponed after her and husband Eddie’s recent arrests.

Melissa traded lives with fellow mom Michelle Clark, who, as she put it, “fits in perfectly with Joe and my kids.” The two families even formed a lasting friendship after filming.

“They’re going to come over. We’re going to cook for them,” Melissa revealed. “We’re definitely going to meet up with them and see them soon, so I’m excited.”

Beyond the fun and chaos, the experience brought a new appreciation for the Gorgas’ family dynamic. Melissa said she noticed a surprising shift in Joe after filming.

“I’m happy to report that he does now do the dishes at night, which is, I told him, it’s hot,” Melissa said with a laugh. “I’m like, ‘I am turned on by this. This is amazing. This is so manly,’ like, it really is. He’d be shocked to think that, like, a guy doing the dishes is such a manly thing, but I love it.”

The show also taught Melissa to slow down and communicate more intentionally.

“Joe and I, we move quick. Our family moves quick. So I feel like it taught me to, like, sit down [and] every situation can be [handled] as a conversation, right?” she reflected.

For the Gorgas, Wife Swap turned out to be more than just another reality TV adventure — it was a reminder of how love can evolve, even after 20 years of marriage.
