Real Housewives of Orange County star Vicki Gunvalson took to her blog to discuss Tamra’s gym party! Vicki says that Gretchen’s behavior was flat out rude especially since she clapped when Alexis left the party. She also talks about Ryan, Briana and Brooks adding that Brooks is not the bad guy Ryan makes him out to be! Check it out below
Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice stopped by Andy Cohen’s clubhouse earlier this week to tape a one-on-one segment with Andy! Teresa tweeted, “Taped a special WWHL with my boyfriend @BravoAndy Don’t know the airdate yet. Love the clubhouse!” and shared the following photo above!
This will be Teresa’s second one-on-one interview that will appear on Watch What Happens Live. I’m assuming the two will be speaking about Teresa mending things with her family and the possibility of Joe Giudice going to jail. Either way: will you be tuning in?!
Real Housewives of Orange County’s newest housewife Lydia McLaughlin is sticking to the fact that she believes Alexis was not being bullied by the other ladies especially because she “signed up for it.” Lydia states that true friends tell it like it is and she is simply being a true friend to Alexis. See what Lydia had to say below
“True friends keep it real.
To bully or not to bully, that is the question!
This was another hard episode for me to watch and it stirred up a lot of emotions. Let me just start by saying that Alexis is an amazing person. She is kindhearted, funny, and I love being around her. I consider Alexis a true friend, and it was in the spirit of friendship that I was trying to calmly explain to her why I felt the other girls got so fired up. However, I don’t believe she was being bullied, and I don’t think feeling that way makes me a bad friend. I know my heart and intentions were good. I left the party with Alexis and checked in on her a few days later as any friend would do for someone they care about.
Don’t get me wrong; I’m not saying that Alexis shouldn’t have been upset about the evening. I truly believe she had every right to have hurt feelings. But don’t forget, we signed up to be on a reality TV show. We get paid to show up and express our opinions and our feelings regardless of whether or not anyone else agrees with us. It’s that dynamic that makes for good TV and why you all tune in to watch, right? So, for Alexis to call the girls bullies in my opinion is not playing by the rules and what I meant when I tell her, “you know what you signed up for.”
Again, I’m not condoning the girls’ actions at all — as you can see by my “oh my goodness what is happening” expression and the fact that I ran after Alexis to see how she was and left with her. I have never witnessed such a spectacle and wouldn’t have wanted to be in Alexis’ shoes at the party. But she knew what she was walking in to. These women have unsettled history with each other. Alexis is a strong, articulate woman capable of defending herself and was not the “weaker person”as the definition of being bulled describes.
People have the right to disagree with each other. If more than one person in a situation disagrees with you than I think you should take a moment and reflect on that. That’s not bullying. Bullying is when you attack someone for no justifiable reason — they have a foreign accent, they have red hair, their religion or sexual orientation is different from yours. Bullying is an epidemic. I believe it exists. However, because of our circumstances, I don’t think Alexis was being bullied.”
My opinion: The ladies were attacking Alexis. They were being bullies. Lydia says that Alexis signed up for it but what is that supposed to mean? Just because she signed up for a show she can’t feel attacked or bullied? I read a comment on the blog that made a fascinating point. When you get a job, you are getting paid..correct? So when your boss keeps smacking your butt should you not feel like he’s wrong because he’s paying you? Lydia makes it like Alexis shouldn’t feel like she’s being bullied because she’s getting paid to be on this show but I feel like that should not have any factor! Thoughts on what Lydia had to say?
Real Housewives of Orange County star Vicki Gunvalson’s daughter Briana Culberson wants to clear a few things up. She took to her blog to discuss why she and Ryan moved in with Vicki and why they both question Brooks motives when it comes to Vicki! Check it out below
Melissa Gorga is reportedly in trouble and this time it can’t be blamed on Teresa Giudice, unless Teresa moonlights for a New Jersey police department.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey star was allegedly pulled over in Boonton, NJ, according to a National Enquirer report (hence why we’re calling this a rumor) via Celeb Dirty Laundy. The police officer spotted her speeding in a white Bentley (Wait, can the Gorgas even afford that? She is no Kris Jenner or Lisa Vanderpump, but okay….) when they pulled her over and wrote Melissa her five tickets.
Melissa tried getting out of the situation, but the officer did not budge and cited her for:
That’s a lot of things to have go bad for a simple speeding stop! According to the report, Melissa is to pay $598 for all the tickets, and is due in court this Tuesday where she plans to ask the judge to drop all citations.
Do you believe this story? If true, I think the reason Melissa lacked all those things was because she probably borrowed/rented the car recently for filming purposes. We all know a lot of these Housewives shows are all smoke and mirrors…
If you were hoping to see less of Taylor Armstrong on Bravo, your wish might have been granted. Many viewers were disappointed to see that Taylor would be back for Real Housewives of Beverly Hills‘s fourth season, currently filming, but according to new online reports, her role has been downgraded to “friend of the Housewives” next season! Starcasm reports exclusively that Taylor has gotten the dreaded demotion. Typically, a “friend” on the show only films at events with the ladies, but we don’t get to see them in their personal life at home with their family. Such was the case with Camille on season three, and Brandi and Dana on season two. Yes, according to exclusive reports from Starcasm, Taylor Armstrong’s role on the show has been downgraded to “friend of the Housewives” for the fourth season.
Being a “friend” on the show means that the person only films at events with the main cast members. Their personal life at home with their family is not shown, similar to how it was for Camille in season three, and Brandi and Dana in season two.
It is unclear why Taylor’s role has been reduced, but it is possible that her relationship with John Bluher did not generate enough interest from the producers.
With Joanna Krupa’s pending summer wedding comes the preparation stage, including wedding dress shopping! The Real Housewives of Miami star is slated to finally wed Romain Zago after six years of engagement, and Joanna took some time while in Beverly Hills to try on dresses at Chagoury Couture this week, all while Bravo’s cameras rolled and captured the moment!
Joanna played with this gorgeous white gown which she looks just stunning in, not hard for the sexy model! Judging by the pictures below, maybe Joanna should opt for something that shows off those gorgeous legs. Check out the photos:
Are you looking forward to Joanna’s wedding on RHOM season three?

In this sneak peek footage from Monday’s Real Housewives of Orange County, Alexis Bellino’s neighbor Lydia Mclaughlin tries to explain to Alexis Bellino how serious it is when she uses the term bully and that she isn’t being bullied. Alexis then reveals that she has had to take xanax because of all the drama and Tamra Barney joins the conversation! Check it out below..
I get that Alexis signed up to be on a show but that doesn’t change the fact that she is being bullied? When people are constantly attacking you I personally feel like they are bullying you. It doesn’t matter what age you are and at Tamra’s dinner party I think all the ladies should own up to the fact that they went too far. Thoughts on Lydia explaining to Alexis that she isn’t being bullied?
Ever since Real Housewives of Orange County star Vicki Gunvalson revealed that she and Brooks are back together, Brooks has been getting a lot of heat via twitter! When a viewer tweeted they were disgusted by the news, Brooks said that RHOC isn’t real because it’s edited! He tweeted, ” Why disgusted? I hope that one day you’ll find happiness like we have! #editedrealitytvisnotreal”
He also took to twitter to say he does spend money on Vicki! “I do have a job and yes, I spend money on Vicki! #editedrealitytvisnotreal”
Interesting! Just because a show is edited I don’t think that means it isn’t real..thoughts on Brook accusing RHOC of not being real? Do you see Vicki and Brooks heading to the alter anytime soon?
Real Housewives of Atlanta has spawned two spin off shows currently airing on Bravo: Kim Zolciak’s Don’t Be Tardy and Kandi’s The Kandi Factory, but are people tuning in to see the reality stars in their solo TV shows?
Kim’s show, Don’t Be Tardy For The Wedding did well, averaging 1,609,000 viewers total its first season according to Bravo Ratings. Now, the first three episodes of season two have averaged 1,105,333 viewers with a high of 1,259,000 (episode two) and a low of 900,000 viewers (episode three). Still good, but lower than season one.
Kandi’s show has received much lower ratings, debuting with an audience of 671,000 total viewers and its third episode snagging just 460,000 viewers!
Are you surprised by the drop in ratings for Kim’s show? Did you expect Kandi’s spin off to attract more ratings?
