Plus, Channing Tatum responds to claims that he’s been harassing Zoë Kravitz and Harry Styles through burner accounts.
During Tuesday’s episode of SiriusXM’s Reality Checked, Dorinda and co-host Kiki Monique reacted to Jessel shading Dorinda’s famous Lady Gaga bubble costume during Ultimate Girls Trip.
Dorinda recalled arriving at the Halloween party wearing the memorable bubble dress, only for Jessel to question what she was wearing.
“The Halloween party comes up. I come out in the famous super iconic bubble dress and Jessel basically says to me, ‘What are you wearing?’” Dorinda recalled.
Kiki admitted she was equally stunned by Jessel’s reaction, especially after Dorinda explained the history behind the costume.
“Everyone knows the iconic Lady Gaga dress,” Kiki said. “And if you don’t, then I don’t know what rock you have been living under.”
But Jessel’s response after learning the backstory only made things worse.
“So, you’re wearing a repeat outfit,” Jessel remarked on the show.
Dorinda quickly clarified, “First of all, it’s not an outfit. It’s a costume.”
According to Dorinda, Jessel genuinely had no idea what the look represented.
“She had no idea what it was. She had no idea why I was wearing it,” Dorinda said. “And then when I tried to explain to her, it made her even more confused.”
Dorinda admitted she was close to losing her cool before Chanel Ayan stepped in.
“Thank God for Chanel Ayan who grabbed my hand,” Dorinda recalled, explaining that she ultimately decided to walk away because, “I am gonna just decimate this person,” and she wanted to enjoy the night instead.
Dorinda said she initially gave Jessel a pass for not recognizing the costume but expected her to understand once she explained its significance.
“You didn’t recognize it? Okay, not good,” Dorinda said. “We’re on our franchise, we kind of should be recognizing iconic things.”
Kiki also questioned Jessel’s defense that she comes from the fashion world and therefore doesn’t believe in repeating looks.
“Do you understand what this outfit represents?” Kiki asked.
Dorinda pointed out that it was a costume party and added that she has no problem repeating clothing in her everyday life.
“I do repeat even in my fashion world and I consider myself quite fashionable,” she said.
What appeared to bother Dorinda even more was discovering while watching the episode that Jessel continued discussing the look after Dorinda walked away.
“She was still talking about it, now I find out watching it,” Dorinda said.
Kiki wondered whether Jessel may have been trying to create a moment by going after one of the franchise’s longtime Housewives.
“We know sometimes trying to take down the top dog is like the way to get your moments,” Kiki said.
Dorinda didn’t appear convinced.
“It’s impossible in that situation,” she responded. “You might as well throw a ball of yarn to a cat or, in my case, a lion.”
Dorinda then revealed exactly what she wanted to tell Jessel in the moment.
“I find it absolutely fascinating that you are on a franchise that we built with several iconic moments and you don’t know about them all,” Dorinda said. “I think it would behoove you to do a big bit of research and not wear something that was on last night. Use your imagination.”
She added that newer Housewives should have some appreciation for the women who came before them.
“I think that there should be… a level of respect for the original,” Dorinda said.
Kiki agreed, pointing out that the cast was attending a party celebrating 20 years of the Real Housewives franchise.
During the September 16 episode of Sex Unlocked with Lala Kent, Salley opened up about her complicated dynamic with the Southern Charm star, and it sounds like there may be more feelings involved than either of them are fully acting on.
Salley revealed that she recently spent more time with Austen and even went back out with him the following night.
“I went back the next night and got on the bull with Austen,” Salley shared. “We rode it together.”
Lala Kent then told Salley that every time she sees the two of them together on Instagram, she thinks Salley is going to end up marrying Austen.
“Since the last podcast, you say I think I’m going to marry Austen every time I see you guys on your Instagram,” Lala said. “My soul just feels so happy for you.”
That is when Salley admitted just how much Austen means to her.
“My soul is the happiest when I’m with him,” Salley said.
Lala pointed out that their connection seems easy, and Salley agreed.
“It’s just easy,” Salley said.
But despite the obvious chemistry, Salley made it clear that she and Austen are not currently hooking up.
“But you guys don’t hook up?” Lala asked.
“No. We haven’t,” Salley said, before clarifying, “I mean, we have once.”
Lala noted that the one time was a while ago, and Salley agreed, saying it “didn’t count.”
Still, Salley admitted there is one major issue in their friendship.
According to Salley, Austen has been making out with other girls in front of her, and she does not love it.
“In Austin, he’s like making out with girls in front of me,” Salley said.
When Lala asked if that made her jealous, Salley was honest.
“Yeah,” she admitted.
The jealousy apparently goes both ways.
Lala then asked if Austen gets jealous when Salley makes out with other guys, and Salley confirmed that he does.
“Yes,” Salley said.
Lala immediately reacted with an “Oooooh,” as Salley admitted, “I know. That’s the problem.”
While speaking with Us Weekly as part of her partnership with Aflac’s Check for Cancer campaign, Rachel opened up about returning to RHOBH and filming with new diamond holders Leah Remini and Tracy Tutor.
“I’m all for it,” Rachel said of the new additions. “I mean, it’s just about the more the merrier. [I] love new people and you know, hopefully we can laugh a lot.”
Bravo confirmed in August that Leah Remini and Million Dollar Listing alum Tracy Tutor would be joining Season 16 of RHOBH.
The new season is expected to feature Rachel alongside Kyle Richards, Bozoma Saint John-Watson, Dorit Kemsley, Erika Jayne, Sutton Stracke, Kathy Hilton and Jennifer Tilly.
Zoe, who is heading into another season as a Housewife, said she is trying not to overthink what is ahead.
“I’m kind of ready for anything,” Rachel teased. “I can only control what I do, right? Not what anybody else does or says. So I think it’s just like, close your eyes and jump kind of thing.”
When asked if she has any specific goals or intentions going into the new season, Rachel admitted that is not really her style.
“I just wing everything that I do, pretty much,” she said with a laugh. “Especially this. I mean, it’s kind of hard to preemptively do anything with reality.”
Rachel also shared that she is in a very happy place personally as she enters this new chapter.
“I’m probably the happiest I’ve been in forever,” she said.
The fashion designer explained that she is living with more freedom now and is focused on what really matters.
“I think I do live my life now with much more freedom in all areas,” Rachel explained. “I’m overall just really happy, but I also think that health takes precedence over everything, and certainly when it comes to my kids and my family and everything else.”
She added, “It’s sort of like, ‘OK, if you have your health sorted, everything else you can have fun with.’”
Rachel’s comments come as RHOBH gears up for another season with some major cast changes.
Leah’s addition has already sparked plenty of conversation, while Tracy brings another familiar Bravo face into the Beverly Hills mix.
According to TMZ, sources familiar with the situation say KJ was released within the last several days and is currently living with Kim, who has full-time care of him.
KJ is facing several felony charges connected to an alleged sexual assault involving a schoolmate at a local gym. He was 15 at the time of the alleged incident.
The latest update comes after prosecutors in KJ’s criminal case recently filed emergency documents asking a judge to order forensic interviews with “minor children.”
No additional details about the request were provided.
Forensic interviews are typically conducted by specially trained professionals and can be used to gather information in cases involving minors. TMZ reports that information collected during those interviews could potentially be used in the case.
KJ’s legal situation has been unfolding publicly as his parents, Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann, continue to deal with their own ongoing divorce drama.
Kim has been vocal in defending her son, with her rep previously calling the allegations against KJ “reckless and deeply troubling” and stating that he “categorically denies” them.
Because KJ is a minor and the case involves serious allegations, the legal process is still ongoing.
At this time, the charges are allegations, and KJ has not been convicted.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, PK’s accountant calculated that Dorit should pay him $581 per month in child support.
The number may seem small, especially given the larger financial picture surrounding the former couple’s split, but it is now part of the ongoing divorce battle between the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star and her estranged husband.
Dorit and PK share two children, Jagger, 12, and Phoenix, 10. The couple announced their separation in May 2024 after nearly nine years of marriage, and Dorit filed for divorce in April 2025.
Now, as they continue working through their divorce, money has become a major point of contention.
TMZ reports that PK’s monthly income is listed at $107,943 in the new court documents, which comes out to nearly $1.3 million per year.
Dorit’s income was redacted in the filing, so the documents do not show a direct side-by-side comparison of what each party is making.
However, Dorit’s attorney, Ronald Richards, later claimed on Instagram that Dorit earns approximately $2 million per year through endorsements, which would come out to around $166,000 per month.
Richards also pushed back on the idea that Dorit should receive child or spousal support.
“The evidence in the trial that’s coming up for spousal and child support will show that Dorit is not entitled to spouse or child support,” Richards wrote.
The filing also gave a closer look at the former couple’s spending.
According to TMZ, PK allegedly spent approximately $1.9 million between April 2024 and March 2026.
Dorit, meanwhile, reportedly spent $32,000 on family expenses from January through August 2026, along with $435,000 on clothing and jewelry and $56,000 on travel.
Richards also claimed Dorit spent $435,517 on clothing since the beginning of 2026 and $56,660 on travel. He further alleged that Dorit spent $909,000 on wardrobe expenses between February 2024 and February 2026, along with more than $2.6 million on expenses for herself from January 2024 through February 2026.
The spending claims come after PK previously accused Dorit of spending close to $1 million on luxury purchases and travel.
Dorit has denied that her spending was being fairly represented, explaining that many of the designer pieces she purchased for filming were returned.
Dorit has also made financial accusations of her own.
She previously accused PK of failing to pay the mortgage on their former $6.5 million Encino home, where she has continued living with their children.
The latest filing shows that despite the relatively low child support number being proposed, the financial fight between Dorit and PK is anything but simple.
Between questions over income, spending, mortgage payments, clothing expenses and support, their divorce continues to get more complicated.
After years of tension between Teresa Giudice, Joe Gorga and Melissa Gorga, Gia is opening up about where things stand now that the family has reconciled.
During an appearance on the Chicks in the Office podcast, the Next Gen NYC star said the family is in a much better place after Teresa repaired her relationship with Joe and Melissa last year.
“It’s been great. We see them a lot,” Gia said. “I think it’s such a healthier environment.”
The Real Housewives of New Jersey family feud has been one of the longest-running and most emotional storylines in Bravo history. Teresa, Joe and Melissa’s issues played out for years on RHONJ, with their fractured relationship impacting not only the adults, but also the cousins who grew up in the middle of it.
But according to Gia, the family is now focused on moving forward.
“I think no matter what, you’re going to have the people who love when our families fight and then the people that love when we’re together,” Gia said. “And we love being together.”
Gia also said she believes time and maturity have helped everyone realize what really matters.
“I just think when you get older, too, you realize what’s important, what’s not, and how precious life is, and we’re over it,” she explained.
Gia then made a bold prediction about the future of the family, saying she does not believe they will ever return to the dark place they were once in.
“I know they said multiple times it’s never going to happen again, and truthfully I do not think we will ever go back to that place, truthfully,” Gia said.
Gia’s comments come as RHONJ prepares for a new chapter following the show’s long pause and cast shake-up. Teresa, Melissa and Dolores Catania are expected to return for Season 15, with new women also joining the group.
During an episode of the Brandi Glanville Unfiltered podcast, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum revealed that Yolanda has been supportive behind the scenes and has helped connect her with doctors.
“Yolanda’s always been very helpful,” Brandi shared.
Brandi later added, “Yolanda’s been very helpful and she’s hooked me up with some doctors.”
While Brandi expressed gratitude for Yolanda’s help, she also admitted the financial burden of her treatment has been overwhelming.
“It’s just spending, spending, spending,” Brandi said. “If I had her bank account, it would be different.”
Brandi clarified that while she and Yolanda have both dealt with serious health issues, their situations are not the same.
“Our things are different. She has Lyme disease,” Brandi explained.
Yolanda has been open for years about her battle with Lyme disease, which was also discussed during her time on RHOBH. Now, Brandi is facing her own complicated health battle, which has involved facial disfigurement, daily IV treatments and a long search for answers.
A close friend recently launched a GoFundMe to help Brandi with her treatment and recovery. At the time this article was written, the fundraiser had raised $20,837 of its $28,000 goal.
The GoFundMe states that Brandi has been diagnosed with “highly resistant ESBL Klebsiella and Enterobacter with biofilm, Coccidioidomycosis (Valley Fever), Demodex dermatitis and mononucleosis.”
The fundraiser also says doctors identified a fungal ball in Brandi’s face that needs to be removed, and that her treatment plan includes months of daily IV medication through a PICC line.
Brandi recently spoke to TMZ about how isolating the experience has been, admitting that she stopped answering calls and texts because she never had new answers about what was happening with her health.
According to Brandi, some friends thought she was simply depressed because they did not believe something physical was actually wrong.
Brandi also explained that her treatment schedule consumes most of her day. She said she spends much of her time doing IVs and often only has about two hours to get anything done. Even then, she says that time is usually spent running to the pharmacy for more prescriptions.
Brandi also admitted that she has developed anxiety about leaving the house and often prefers staying home with her dogs.
She joked that her dogs love her no matter what she looks like.
Brandi’s health battle has drawn support from several Housewives stars. Kyle Richards, Vicki Gunvalson, Eileen Davidson, Camille Grammer and Claudia Jordan have all donated to her GoFundMe, while Camille previously said she wanted to return the kindness after Brandi once sent her flowers following her hysterectomy for uterine cancer.
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star appeared on the CHEERS! podcast with host Avery Woods, where she opened up about her friendship with Taylor and admitted that supporting her has created tension within the group.
“The thing with this is I don’t condone everything Taylor does. I see some of the actions and the behavior, and I’m like, ‘That’s not OK,’” Jessi said.
Jessi explained that she is close enough with Taylor to be honest with her when she feels something is wrong.
“She’s posted things at times where I’m like, ‘Delete that,’” Jessi shared. “I’m able to be honest with her, and I do not agree with everything.”
But Jessi said she also has empathy for what Taylor Frankie Paul is going through.
“But at the same time, I understand she’s going through a lot. She’s in a lot of pain,” Jessi said.
Jessi revealed that her own divorce has helped her relate to Taylor in a deeper way, especially because they have gone through similar relationship struggles.
“I’m coming out of a relationship where I went through a lot, and we can kind of relate on certain things,” Jessi explained. “So it was almost like we bonded in a way over our exes doing similar things to us and having those shared experiences.”
According to Jessi, Taylor has also shown up for her behind the scenes.
“She’s really been there for me through my divorce, checked in on me and I’ve wanted to be there for her too,” Jessi said.
Jessi made it clear that, for her, being a friend does not mean blindly agreeing with someone’s every move.
“I just feel like as a friend, you can be there for someone without fully cosigning everything they do.”
That point seems to be at the center of the drama.
Jessi admitted that her connection with Taylor has “caused contention” within the group, especially as Taylor continues to be one of the most polarizing figures on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
Taylor has faced backlash for her behavior both on and off the show, but Jessi seems to believe there is a difference between holding a friend accountable and abandoning them completely.
Her comments also come as Taylor appeared to tease a possible exit from the show in a new Instagram post after feeling unsupported by several cast members.
