RHONJ’s Lauren Manzo and Vito Scalia Divorce After 8 Years of Marriage

Another Bravo marriage bites the dust! Vito Scalia, the husband of RHONJ alum Lauren Manzo, files for divorce after 8 years of marriage.

The U.S. Sun reports that Vito Scalia and Lauren Manzo have officially called it quits.

Vito Scalia, 37, filed for divorce from his wife, Lauren Manzo, 35, after eight years of marriage on September 5, 2023. In his court filing, the 37-year-old listed the reason behind their divorce.

“The parties have experienced irreconcilable differences for a period of at least six months, which has caused the breakdown of their marriage, and it is apparent that the marriage should be dissolved as there is no reasonable prospect of reconciliation,” he stated.

The now former couple continue to reside together in their Wayne, New Jersey home that they mutually purchased in 2016.

Lauren Manzo, the daughter of RHONJ OG Caroline Manzo, was served with divorce papers at their home on September 29, 2023.

The 35-year-old former Manzo’d With Children star retained a lawyer, who informed the court that he would be presenting Lauren in the divorce case. The attorney made it known that he would be helping with issues concerning child custody, care, and support as well as “all financial related issues, including, without limitation, alimony, equitable distribution, and counsel fees.”

The former RHONJ couple share one child together: a six-year-old daughter, Marchesa “Markie” Scalia.

Before filing for divorce in September, Vito filed a Marital Settlement Agreement on July 26.

Per one NJ family law group, “A Marital Settlement Agreement (MSA) is a legal document used in New Jersey that spells out the terms of a divorce and provides a framework for the relationship between former spouses after divorce.”

EForms.com also explained:

A New Jersey marital settlement agreement is a legal arrangement that has been executed by a married couple with the purpose of laying out their rights and obligations after the dissolution of their marriage. A settlement agreement can be established before or during the divorce process in court.

While it’s not required, it is recommended that the spouses obtain legal counsel to ensure a fair and mutually beneficial agreement. This marital settlement agreement will cover topics such as alimony, child support and custody, insurance, division of property and other assets, liabilities and debts, and future rights and responsibilities.

This news comes just months after Lauren Manzo clapped back on Instagram about inquiries into her marriage to Vito Scalia.

In July, the Manzo family attended a family wedding at The Brownstone. Lauren and her family posted photos from the day on their Instagram pages.

Lauren Manzo posted several photos of her and her daughter, Marchesa “Markie” Scalia; however, Vito was noticeably missing from any of the photos.

Naturally, Bravo fans began questioning the state of Lauren and Vito’s marriage in the comment section of Lauren’s post.

The former Real Housewives of New Jersey staple clapped back in the comment section of her post, writing:

“I haven’t been on TV in 7 years…I’m allowed to choose to keep aspects of my life private, especially after having a child. If you don’t like it, then stay away from my page. It’s very simple.”

Lauren and Vito began dating in 2009 after knowing each other for four years. The two met thanks to Lauren’s older brother, Albie Manzo, who is Vito’s best friend and college roommate. They eventually tied the knot in July 2015.

Back in March, Lauren gave fans Bravo fans a rare glimpse into family life with Vito. She shared a snap of her, Vito, and their daughter Markie on her Instagram Story as they celebrated Vito’s 37th birthday.

While fans can only see Vito’s arm and shirt in the post, it’s the first sighting of him on Lauren’s social media in many years.

RHOC's Kelly Dodd and Tamra Judge face off at reunion

Kelly Dodd Says ‘White Trash’ Tamra Judge ‘Offers Nothing’ To RHOC

by Lara Sophia
written by Lara Sophia

Kelly Dodd makes it known that she doesn’t think Tamra Judge is a good fit for the Real Housewives of Orange County. Get all the TEA here!

RHOC alum Kelly Dodd is saying what a lot of Bravo fans think in her latest social media rant.

On Instagram, Kelly Dodd slammed former friend and co-star Tamra Judge for calling out others over not showing their real lives on RHOC when she NEVER shows her reality on the show.

Kelly also insisted that Tamra is “boring” and “offers nothing” to RHOC as she’s not wealthy or living an aspirational lifestyle. She also called Tamra and her family “insufferable white trash” and so much more.

According to the former Bravoleb, RHOC fans have had “enough” of Tamra’s BS and want to see OC Housewives with “yachts, businesses, beautiful clothes, homes, lives, and interesting kids.”

She then encouraged Bravo boss Andy Cohen to “get rid” of Tamra Judge once and for all.

Here is Kelly Dodd’s full rant about Tamra Judge:

Oh, and like we see Tamra’s life !!! She has 4 kids; we don’t know them. Except for the cowboy t ranch guy. Tamra’s life is BOOORRRRINGG!! She doesn’t have fabulous homes. She dresses like white trash. She’s old and has a gay husband that looks like he has marbles in his mouth !! Why is she back??? She offers NOTHING!!! She made this season insufferable go back to your white trash family. We don’t want to watch you or your WT Mom and her ugly, weird boyfriend. All my friends in OC HAVE YACHTS, businesses, beautiful clothes, homes, lives & interesting kids. Get rid of this old washed-up hag! We’ve had enough!! @bravoandy

This rant from Kelly Dodd comes just after RHOC concluded on season 17, which saw the return of Tamra Judge after a two-year hiatus from the show.

Bravo producers fired Tamra in early 2020 after 12 years on RHOC. The 56-year-old joined RHOC in 2007, during the show’s third season. As for Kelly Dodd, she starred on RHOC from seasons 11 through 15 before being fired by Bravo ahead of season 16.

Despite Kelly’s opinions on Tamra being a bad fit for RHOC, it seems like Tammy Sue will be back for season 18 of the franchise.

According to  TV Deets, it is “most likely” that the entire RHOC season 17 cast will be returning for season 18.

Season 17 of RHOC starred Tamra Judge, Shannon Beador, Heather Dubrow, Gina Kirschenheiter, Emily Simpson, and Jennifer Pedranti. Taylor Armstrong also appeared as a friend of the Housewives.

Per sources, “Producers and the network were really happy with the fan engagement this year, and all of the ladies stepped up to the plate to deliver.”

Staffen continued, “Now, I’m told that with Shannon Beador’s DUI arrest, producers want to follow the aftermath of that and how that has impacted the group. I’m also told that Jennifer [Pedranti] is expected to return and Taylor [Armstrong] will be back as well, and I’m hearing that it is ‘most likely’ she will keep her Friend of the Housewives role.”

Despite Bravo’s plans to bring everyone within the RHOC cast back for season 18, producers are still on the “lookout for new Housewives.” They are also floating around the idea of bringing Alexis Bellino and Gretchen Rossi back for season 18.

When it comes to Vicki Gunvalson, she has made it clear that she won’t be back for season 18 unless Bravo gives her a full-time spot on the show.

“It’s all in or nothing. It would have to be on my terms, and that means financially, too. I’m not gonna go back down. I left at a certain number. Either you bring that number back, or what’s the point?” Vicki Gunvalson said earlier this month on  Access Hollywood’s Housewives Nightcap podcast.

“I don’t need them as much as they need me. There has to be a voice of reason and a strong, successful businesswoman that can still have fun.”

“[Season 17] wasn’t right. It was something I created, and I’m coming in like a has-been old lady? I’m not gonna do that,” she added. “It was like, ‘Why am I not on full-time?’ You want to use me for things.” Vicki said.

The Real Housewives of Orange County will return for season 18 in 2024.

Reality TV veteran Mauricio Umansky spotted holding hands with his DWTS partner, Emma Slater, amid his separation from his wife, Kyle Richards.

TMZ caught Mauricio Umansky getting cozy with his Dancing With the Stars partner, Emma Slater, in Beverly Hills.

The two were photographed holding hands after exiting a restaurant on Sunday evening following a one-on-one dinner. There were no other signs of PDA between Mauricio Umansky and Emma, but they were coming off very couple-y.

Mauricio Umansky and Emma have been hanging out a lot lately – even outside their DWTS rehearsals. They are very chummy and even dressed up for a Halloween event together last week.

A source tells TMZ that Mauricio Umansky and Emma’s dinner was strictly business as they were discussing their next performance for DWTS. The theme for this week’s performance is the “most important year of your life.”

The Buying Beverly Hills star reportedly opened up to Emma about how 1996 was the most pivotal year in his life. 1996 is the year Mauricio Umansky married Kyle Richards, “he was fired from the fashion industry, and he pivoted to real estate.”

As a result, Mauricio and Emma have become much more connected. However, it is unclear if their connection could blossom into romance.

This all comes amid Mauricio Umansky’s ongoing separation from his wife, Kyle Richards.

In July, rumors about Kyle and Mauricio’s marriage began to pop up on social media. The gossip was further fueled when PEOPLE reported that Kyle and Mauricio were separating after 27 years of marriage.

Initally, Kyle and Mauricio both denied being separated in a joint statement on social media.

“In regards to the news that came out about us today… Any claims regarding divorcing are untrue,” the joint statement read. “However, yes, we have had a rough year. The most challenging one of our marriage. But we both love and respect each other tremendously.”

The statement continued, “There has been no wrongdoing on anyone’s part. Although we are in the public eye, we ask to be able to work through our issues privately. While it may be entertaining to speculate, please do not create false stories to fit a further salacious narrative.”

Then, on Friday, September 29, Mauricio confirmed to TMZ that he and Kyle were separated. He also insisted that they are NOT considering divorce at this time.

“We are currently separated, we are not talking about divorce, and we’re trying to deal with this stuff internally with ourselves privately. Divorce is not part of our conversation right now. That is not part of what we’re dealing with. We’re dealing with a separation.” 

The RHOBH couple wed in 1996. They share daughters Alexia, 27, Sophia, 23, and Portia, 15. Mauricio is also stepfather to Kyle’s daughter Farrah Aldjufrie, 34, from her first marriage to Guraish Aldjufrie.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 13 premieres Oct. 25 at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.

RHONY Reunion: The Ladies Address Claims of ‘Gaslighting,’ Cheating and Playing the Victim

by Lara Sophia
written by Lara Sophia

The drama heats up at the RHONY season 14 reunion as shocking accusations of “gaslighting,” cheating, and playing the victim emerge.

On Sunday, part one of the Real Housewives of New York season 14 reunion aired on Bravo, and no one was safe from landing in the hot seat.

As Erin Lichy opened up about her new business venture with Million Dollar Listing alum Fredrik Elkland, Ubah Hassan called out Jenna Lyons for being disingenuous.

“I think TV Jenna is ‘poor me,’ victim, ‘I’m old, I’m this,’ and the real Jenna is [a] powerhouse,” the Ubah Hot founder said, leaving the former J.Crew CEO speechless.

“I mean, I don’t even know what to say,” a stunned Jenna admitted. “I think it’s a lot different having cameras watching you. Having vulnerability and being powerful … can exist together. I’m not in a power situation in this dynamic at all.”

Ubah Hassan accuses Jenna Lyons of playing a "victim" on TV.

Ubah didn’t stop there. She then claimed Jenna was “nowhere to be found” every time there was drama and a Housewife was “yelling or something.”

“[Jenna tends to] avoid a lot of things,” Ubah continued.

 When Jenna explained that she wasn’t “excited” about “weighing in on someone else,” Ubah pointed out that she had a lot to say behind the scenes.

The focus then shifted to Erin’s friendship with Sai de Silva and where it stood at this moment in time.

 RHONY reunion host Andy Cohen asked Erin how she felt about Sai’s hurtful comments about her shakshuka and cheese.

“Honestly, I have no idea what happened to her. Something like switched,” Erin said of Sai, who jumped in, claiming Erin was a liar.

Brynn Whitfield threatens to "put people in the funeral home" in the dramatic RHONY reunion trailer.

Sai took issue with Erin, saying that she complained about the cheese being served at her party when she didn’t.

“I never came to your house and said that. Never,” Sai said. “Ubah was there, Jessel was there, I brought you a nice bottle of champagne. We were there to have a good time. I was the only person eating the cheese, actually. Stop insinuating this story that I’m a rude person who came to your house and complained.”

Erin admitted she “misconstrued” Sai’s comments and didn’t relay the events “accurately.”

“I don’t think Erin’s rude. I think she’s polite. She’s elegant. She’s nice, but I think she’s a s—-stirrer,” Ubah added. “And she gaslights. I think she gaslights.”

“One hundred percent,” Sai agreed.

Later on in the reunion, Erin and Sai found themselves in the hot seat yet again when Jessel Taank called them out for talking about her marriage to her husband, Pavit Randhawa, in a “disgusting f—ing way.”

Sai insisted that she never talked badly about Jessel’s marriage and merely said it’s “sexless.”

However, Jessel didn’t agree and stated that both Erin and Sai implied that her husband would cheat on her during his trip to Vietnam.

Erin denied that she “insinuated” that Jessel’s husband cheated on her, to which Jessel fired back, “Did you watch the show Erin? Did you watch it with a f—ing blindfold over your face?”

The fashion public relationship expert then accused Erin of spreading rumors about why her husband, Pavit, doesn’t wear his wedding band. This all turned out to be a misunderstanding, as Brynn Whitfield incorrectly relayed the message. Erin noted that her own husband, Abe Lichy, doesn’t wear his wedding band often, which is why she didn’t want to bring up the topic on camera.

Afterward, Jessel turned her sights onto Sai, who explained why she believed Jessel and Pavit lied about having sex on their staycation.

“You know what, it’s none of my business,” Sai replied. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t comment on anyone’s marriage but my own. From the outside looking in, it just doesn’t feel like you have a connection, but that is your relationship, and I can’t justify your relationship at all.”

Jessel said, “No one deserves to comment on my marriage, and especially not in a negative way,” even when it comes to the sex drought she and Pavit faced in their marriage following the birth of their twin sons.

Sai de Silva denies bashing Jessel Taank's marriage throughout season 14.

“And also, I was talking about postpartum. You understand when you have babies, when you have four years of IVF, it’s OK. It’s OK to have these struggles,” Jessel explained to Erin and Sai, who both continued to deny her claims. “It’s fine. It’s normal. You both implied my husband is cheating on me because I’m not having sex with him.”

Teresa Giudice Refusing to Have Sit-Down With Melissa Gorga Before Filming Wraps for Season 14

by Lara Sophia
written by Lara Sophia

Teresa Giudice is refusing to have an on-camera sit down with rival & sister-in-law Melissa Gorga before filming concludes for season 14 of RHONJ.

The U.S. Sun reports that Real Housewives of New Jersey OG Teresa Giudice has ZERO intentions of sitting down with sister-in-law Melissa Gorga for a one-on-one conversation before filming for season 14 concludes at the end of the month.

“Teresa doesn’t want to have a fight with Melissa on camera. She’d rather avoid another screaming match,” a source reveals. “She feels like she said what she had to say at the reunion, and that was that. She has no interest in making mends at this point in time.”

The source added: “As we’ve all seen in the past, emotions can get the best of Teresa, and if Melissa were to make a comment or confront her, she can go from zero to 100 real quick. Teresa and Melissa both have an ‘it is what it is’ mindset and are just letting it be. They are not working on repairing anything now.”

Throughout the last three months of filming, Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice have been forced to film together at several group events, including Danielle Cabral’s Boujie Kidz’s party and Dolores Catania’s annual charity softball game.

However, the two have avoided each other at all costs and given one another the cold shoulder all season long.

AllAboutTRH can EXCLUSIVELY reveal that season 14 of RHONJ will have ZERO to little focus on Teresa Giudice’s relationship with Melissa Gorga and her husband, Joe Gorga. Instead, season 14 of RHONJ will focus on shifting friendships and alliances within the cast.

RHONJ’s Margaret Josephs Addresses Rumors About Her Feud With Jackie Goldschneider

by Lara Sophia
written by Lara Sophia

RHONJ star Margaret Josephs addresses the rumors about her friendship fallout with BFF Jackie Goldschneider while filming season 14.

Season 14 of RHONJ will bring a shift in friendships and alliances, most noticeably in Jackie Goldschneider and Margaret Josephs‘ relationship.

In September, AllAboutTRH was the first to EXCLUSIVELY reveal that Margaret and Jackie were “fighting” over how Jackie got her book deal for debut publication, The Weight of Beautiful, which was released on September 26.

At Dolores Catania’s charity baseball game on August 30, Jackie was spotted getting into a “heated discussion” with Margaret’s husband, Joe Benigno. Jackie and Margaret also did NOT interact at all during the charity baseball game.

“It’s about Jackie’s book,” All About the Real Housewives podcast host Roxanne Bahri revealed in September. “I think Margaret insinuated she got Jackie the book deal, but then Jackie didn’t want anyone to read it, and I think she allowed Jenn Fessler to read it, and Margaret was like, ‘Why wouldn’t you let me read it?’”

“And then it’s like the book deal thing, where it was like, ‘You know, you didn’t get me a book deal. Don’t take credit for that.’ That’s really what it is. That’s what she’s fighting with Margaret about,” Roxanne continued.

Previously, Margaret and Jackie both admitted that their friendship is “not the same” as it was before.

“Oh, I mean, I don’t wanna ruin this season, but I’m going through something with Margaret,” Jackie said on Watch What Happens Live last month.

As for Marge, she told Us Weekly on Monday, September 25: “I do love Jackie, and her book just came out. It’s powerful. I’m grateful she says so many amazing things about me in the book, and we are bonded, and we have a bond. For whatever reason, it is not the same right now, but I’m sure it will be.”

Now, Margaret is opening up further about her friendship woes with Jackie as they wrap filming for season 14 of RHONJ at the end of the month.

The U.S. Sun asked Margaret how she feels about Jackie switching sides and becoming friends with Teresa Giudice and Jennifer Aydin while filming season 14 of RHONJ.

Margaret said: “I don’t know if there’s much as sides as just, like, her and I aren’t as close as we used to be.”

When it comes to the rumors that Jackie’s book deal caused a rift in her friendship with Margaret, the 56-year-old says that is not the cast at all.

“I’ve already had my own book, and so there’s no jealousy there. I only wanted really good things for her,” she said. “I think we were always close. I think that we will always have that love for each other, but I think right now we just have to see where it goes.”

Camille Grammer disses Dorit Kemsley as "boring" ahead of the RHOBH season 13 premiere

RHOBH’s Camille Grammer Shades ‘Boring and Overplayed’ Dorit Kemsley

written by Lara Sophia

Camille Grammer slammed her “boring” former RHOBH co-star Dorit Kemsley for telling a “long-winded” story in a promo for season 13.

Last Thursday, Bravo shared a new promo for season 13 of RHOBH on Instagram. In the clip, Dorit Kemsley recalls the details of Kyle Richards‘ season 12 dinner party featuring Jamie Lee Curtis.

While telling one of her infamous “long-winded” stories, Dorit’s RHOBH co-stars — Kyle Richards, Erika Jayne, Sutton Stracke, Crystal Minkoff, and newbie Annemarie Wiley interrupt her by banging on windchimes.

The promo pays homage to the group dinner that went viral after Dorit fawned over everything Jamie Lee Curtis was promoting for her charity. The Beverly Beach designer called everything, including a basic wind chime, “chic.”

“Jamie, let me just say — that is the chicest wind chime I have ever seen,” Dorit said at the time.

While there were mixed reactions to Bravo’s latest promo for season 13, former OG Camille Grammer wasn’t feeling the clip at all.

Camille commented on Bravo’s RHOBH promo, calling Dorit’s schtick “boring and overplayed.”

So, what are RHOBH fans saying about the promo? Let’s dive in!

“Dorit is the biggest nothing bravo has ever had,” one fan quipped.

“I want Bravo to explain once for all WHY is she still on the show?!!! Who is pushing her, and why do we have to be bored to death again with her! I am sick of it!” a second fan commented.

A third fan wrote, “These videos are so hard to watch… cringe,” while a fourth agreed, commenting, “I’m sorry, but are we still talking about this luncheon that was funny for 3 seconds?”

“This franchise really loves playing up nothing endlessly,” another fan wrote.

Shannon Beador to Appear in Court for DUI on October 30th

by Lara Sophia
written by Lara Sophia

Real Housewives of Orange County star Shannon Beador will face the music over her arrest for DUI and hit-and-run in court on October 30th.

“Shannon Beador is scheduled to be arraigned 10/30/23,” a spokesperson from the Orange County District Attorney’s Office told Radar Online on Friday.

However, the spokesperson remained tight-lipped on what charges the Bravoleb will be facing at her arraignment next week.

Shannon Beador was arrested for DUI and a hit-and-run on Saturday, September 16, in Newport Beach, California, after she drove her car into a residential property and “clipped the house.”

The reality star’s attorney, Mike Fell, quickly released a statement noting how expressing how “apologetic and remorseful” Shannon was over her actions.

“We will be awaiting the official information on this case as it becomes available,” Fell said at the time. “Shannon is prepared to accept full responsibility for her actions.”

Almost a month later, on Monday, October 9, The Real Housewives of Orange County star entered into an outpatient treatment. The behavioral wellness program that Shannon has enrolled in features an alcohol component.

For the most part, Shannon has remained mum following her arrest, but last week, she broke her silence on social media.

The 59-year-old posted a video on Instagram where she told fans that she can’t speak about her legal woes at the moment but promises to be “open” and “honest” about her DUI when she can talk about them publicly.

Shannon said:

“I know it’s been a while since I posted, and there’s been a lot of talk about everything that’s happened recently, but unfortunately, right now, I’m not in the position to comment, but there will be a time when I can, and I intend to be open, honest, and authentic. Right now, I’m focusing on getting healthy and getting back to myself and walking. Archie.”

Another day, another lawsuit against Bravo. This time, Marco Vega, the butler from RHUGT season 2, is suing Bravo for sexual abuse & harassment.

In court documents obtained by TMZ on Friday, October 21, Marco Vega claims that during a party in September 2021 at Blustone Manor, while filming season 2 of RHUT, Phaedra Parks slapped his butt and Brandi Glanville ripped his shirt off, exposing his torso.

Brandi allegedly told Vega:

“Earn your money, Marco. Take your shirt off. Do something!”

According to Vega, the incident occurred after a strip tease show at Bluestone Manor. After the show concluded, Vega alleges that producers told him to “go over and get the women dancing!”

In the lawsuit, Vega alleges that all of the women were drinking heavily throughout the entire night. On top of that, Vega claims that the incident took a toll on his marriage as his wife was very upset over what happened while filming season 2 of RHUGT.

As a result, Vega is now suing Bravo for sexual abuse and harassment. He claims that Bravo has a long history of condoning bad and inappropriate behavior from its stars for the sake of good TV. Vega is seeking monetary damages.

Previously, Vega expressed his disappointment in the antics from RHUGT on Instagram in 2022. Brands By Bravo shared screenshots of Vega’s Instagram Story on their page.

In the screenshots, Vega said he “didn’t really ‘connect’ with any of the ladies” and “was not happy” about being “forcibly stripped.”

After the news of Vega’s lawsuit came to light in the press, Page Six reached out to both Phaedra and Brandi’s reps for a comment.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum’s rep said, “She is traveling and unavailable for comment.”

As for the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum, her rep said, “She has the utmost respect for Marco. Anything that occurred on the set that evening was requested by the producers and approved by Marco Vega himself.”

A new season of RHUGT will begin streaming on Peacock in December.

Vanity Fair is preparing to publish a “deeply reported” expose into the complicated relationships between Bravo and its Real Housewives stars.

Page Six reports that sources tell them that a reporter from Vanity Fair has been interviewing Real Housewives and other sources close to the Bravo franchise for the last six months for an expose that is set to be released in the next few weeks.

The article is expected to dive into the complicated and busy lives of the Real Housewives stars and the demands that are placed on them by Bravo.

Vanity Fair‘s prob will also cover “what they trade in terms of their privacy, their image and even their mental health and relationship with alcohol in order to keep their much-coveted, often highly paid roles.”

“[The journalist] is really going deep into what the women go through and what’s expected of them as members of the cast and members of the ‘Bravo family,’” said an insider. “I think it’s going to explain a lot that fans don’t really see or understand about how it really works.”

During the interviews, Real Housewives stars have been able to reflect on how much they have given up to star on Bravo and whether or not it has been worth it.

The piece will also look into “Bravo’s various protocols and guidelines for addressing the well-being of its stars” and whether they work or not.

There are conflicting reports about how Bravo feels about the forthcoming expose. One insider says, “There have been some nerves jangling at Bravo’s HQ,” while other network insiders insist that executives aren’t “sweating” the article.
