After stepping away from RHOSLC and returning as a friend of for season 4, OG Mary Cosby wants back on the show full-time for season 5!

When the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City premiered in November 2020, Mary Cosby became one of the most fascinating characters on Bravo.

As Mary’s popularity soared due to her quirkiness and unique lifestyle, fans naturally wanted to know more about Mary and her Pentecostal church.

However, when some not-so-pretty allegations against Mary and her church surfaced on social media and on RHOSLC, Mary abruptly left the show at the end of season two.

After taking a season away from the cameras, Mary surprisingly agreed to return to the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City for season 4 as a ‘friend of’ the Housewives. Fans were happy to have Mary’s humor and her penchant for saying whatever she thinks back on Bravo.

Now, Mary reveals that she wants to return for season 5 of the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, but this time, she wants to be a full-fledged Housewife again.

“Yeah, maybe,” Mary told E! News. “Only because I feel like I’m here for Monica [Garcia], and if I need to be full cast to make sure she gets where she’s going, I’m here to support her.”

“It was good for me; I don’t think it was good for them,” she explained of the RHOSLC season 4 reunion. “It certainly wasn’t good for Monica, but it was good for me. I was there for a little amount of time and then I was gone in the right amount of time. I poked in and poked out.”

Mary notes that the drama is what keeps viewers turning in, and since day one, they have gotten that on RHOSLC.

 “I think a lot of it is probably because we’ve been through the worst out of all the franchises,” Mary noted. “We’ve gotten beaten up a lot. People bond with that and relate.”

Part 3 of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City reunion airs on Tuesday, Jan. 23, at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.

RHOBH’s Annemarie Wiley Claps Back At the American Society of Anesthesiologists’ Diss Plus, Throws Shade at Production and Esophagus Drama

written by Lara Sophia

RHOBH’s Annemarie Wiley responds to the American Society of Anesthesiologists’ diss. Plus, she throws shade at production and the S13 esophagus drama.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills newbie Annemarie Wiley isn’t receiving the warm welcome to Bravo that she was probably expecting from both fans and her fellow Beverly Hills Housewives.

The 40-year-old Bravo rookie has been feeling the heat on RHOBH and on social media due to her esophagus-gate drama with Sutton Stracke.

Annemarie came in hot when she joined the season 13 cast of RHOBH. Almost immediately, Annemarie went after Sutton and her esophagus issues. At first, Annemarie mocked Sutton’s condition and called it BS.

In fact, the RHOBH newbie made it seem that Sutton was over-dramatizing the seriousness of her esophagus issues.

“Narrow esophagus. That’s that’s a symptom of something. That’s not a medical diagnosis. If you have, like, a stricture in your esophagus, all you do is chew your food more. If you really have a problem, you go get treatment for that,” the RHOBH newbie told Sutton.

Sutton retorted: “You’re not my doctor. … Why am I having a doctor’s appointment right now?”

Several Bravo doctors, including Dr. Nicole Martin of RHOM and Dr. Tiffany Moon of RHOD, slammed Annemarie for “weaponizing the medical profession” and “medical gaslighting.”

More recently, RHOBH star Crystal Minkoff called out Annemarie’s continued obsession with Sutton’s very real medical issue concerning her esophagus.

After the January 17 episode of RHOBH, the American Society of Anestiogolists went after Annemarie for calling herself a doctor despite being a nurse anesthetist.

The ASA’s Instagram shared a post detailing the difference between a nurse anesthetist and an anesthesiologist.

In the caption, the ASA wrote: “The Real Housewives know a fake. Anesthesiologists are medical doctors with more than 12 years of higher education and up to 16,000 hours of clinical training. Title misappropriation has no place in health care.”

After the ASA’s Instagram post went viral on social media, Annemarie took to her Instagram Story to clap back at the diss and also address the drama on RHOBH.

To start, Annemarie Wiley addressed the ASA’s post and accused Crystal of coming for her career to give herself a storyline.

The RHOBH newbie wrote:

“I do not condone the ASA’s defamation campaign.

I am a CRNA, a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist. I am extremely proud of my profession. I will not be accused of title misappropriation because a castmate needed a storyline on a reality TV show. This is my real life and my career.

I am not an Anesthesiologist, nor have I ever claimed to be one. I have immense respect for physician anesthesiologists, and I ask that the ASA and other Anesthesiologists show respect to CRNAs as well.

This type of unhealthy discourse only causes friction and professional division. Political issues exist between physician anesthesiologists and CRNAs, which explains their current attack on me and the CRNA profession.

Our goal as anesthesia providers should always be working together in order to best serve our patients, not competing with one another. My aim is to educate the public on who CRNAs are and what we do in providing the highest quality of anesthesia care to those we serve.”

Then Annemarie addressed the esophagus storyline, noting that she “hates” that storyline just as much as fans.

She also accuses RHOBH producers of intentionally “dragging out” the storyline in an “unauthentic” way.

“The esophagus storyline was not funny. Watching the show back now, I hate that storyline just as much as everyone else. I would be mad at myself, too. It was a line of questioning I should never have started- and for that, I sincerely apologize. That storyline was unauthentically dragged on for far too long, and I have been dragged through the mud in the process. I just want to highlight the “Real” in Reality TV,” she wrote.

RHONJ's Lauren Manzo slams criticism that she's too skinny

RHONJ Alum Lauren Manzo Slams Comments That She’s Too Skinny

by Lara Sophia
written by Lara Sophia

RHONJ’s Lauren Manzo is clapping back at criticism that she’s too skinny amid her recent weight loss. Find out what she has to say!

Fans of the Real Housewives of New Jersey have seen Caroline Manzo‘s daughter, Lauren Manzo, struggle with her weight from the show’s inception in 2009. Weight Loss.

Any OG viewer of RHONJ may recall Caroline describing Lauren as “eight pounds of sausage in a five-pound bag” amid her struggle to lose weight via dieting and exercise.

Eventually, Lauren dropped thirty pounds after getting Lapband surgery in September 2011.

Getting the lap band was the best thing I’ve ever done in my life.When I first got it, I didn’t want to tell anybody. So many fans related to my struggle, I didn’t want to feel like I was letting them down.

Lauren told Us Weekly in June 2012

Over the years, Lauren Manzo has kept fans updated on her health journey via Instagram, especially following the birth of her daughter, Marchesa Scalia, in 2017.

In February 2023, Lauren revealed that she dropped 50 pounds over the last three years after removing her Lapband in late 2019.

Lauren went on to explain that she removed her Lapband because “it slipped, which is super dangerous.”

The 34-year-old also denied claims she lost the weight by taking Ozempic.

However, she did admit that she started taking Mounjaro in January 2023 to help aid in her weight loss.

I have been on this journey for three years and lost 50 pounds. Started Mounjaro one month ago and have lost less than 8 pounds so far. So no…it’s not from Ozempic. But yes…I have jumped on the Mounjaro train but that stubborn 8 pounds doesn’t take away from the 50 [pounds] that I lost on my own.

– Lauren said in the comment section of her Instagram post

Since then, Lauren has dropped a total of 90 pounds and currently weighs between 115 and 120 pounds.

Within the last several months, RHONJ fans have started criticizing Lauren’s weight loss, so much so that she recently took to TikTok to address all the hate.

According to Lauren, she’s the healthiest she has ever been and is under the watchful care of two doctors – her regular physical and a functional medicine doctor.

On TikTok, Lauren Manzo shared:

“I’m gonna acknowledge this, and then I’m not gonna acknowledge it again. I am I understand I’ve lost a lot of weight. I lost 90 pounds. I was pushing 210 pounds, and I am only 5 foot 3. People think I’m a lot taller in real life. People think that I have a much bigger frame in real life. I don’t. I am very petite.

I am at a healthy weight. Right now, I’m bouncing between 115 and 120 pounds. 120 pounds is what actually what my doctors have told me my entire life that I should be for the average height and weight that I am. Where I would like to be ultimately is at 135 with muscle. Right now, I don’t have any muscle. I have been slacking at the gym. I definitely need to get back the way that I was, um, before the new year and gain that muscle back.”

The RHONJ alum continued:

“People are on here saying they’re concerned for me and stuff like that. I have doctors for that. I have a functional medicine doctor who checks an excessive amount of blood panels every three months. I take a ton of vitamins, and I have a primary doctor who also feels that I am at a healthy weight.

I am not having any issues as far as my weight goes. I am very comfortable with where I am, and not for anything, but when I was 210 pounds, I was just talked about for being too fat. And even when I was 160 pounds, everyone said that I was still fat. And you know what? For a 5 foot 3 woman, yes, 160, especially when you’re not when it’s not mostly muscle is heavy, especially when it’s mostly fat. So for everybody to keep commenting that they’re concerned about me and things like that. I mean, you see me eating all the time. My videos are of me eating constantly.”

Lauren Manzo admitted, “It’s very discouraging to finally be at a healthy weight that I was told by doctors and everybody that I should have been at my whole life, that people are saying that they’re concerned, and now all of a sudden, I have an eating disorder, or I have body dysmorphia. I know that I’m skinny right now. I’m actually very comfortable where I am right now. I am also comfortable in a way that if I were to gain 10 pounds, I would be okay with that.”

“Because I’m not fat anymore. Now I’m unhealthy. And I know that I’m fully ranting right now, and it might even come off a little bit unhinged, but maybe I’m just sick of it. Maybe I’m just sick of people judging me for being too fat and being too skinny. I mean, right now, I’m healthy,” the 34-year-old added. “I’ll tell you what, it’s a hell of a lot easier now at a 115 or a £120 than it was when I was £210 and depressed and not in a good place and feeling like I was going to die from high blood pressure all the time. So I’m okay. I’m happy.”

“I’m healthy. And if I were this weight my whole life, just like any other housewife daughter that is skinny or any other housewife themselves that skinny. No one would have anything to say,” Lauren insisted.

“I put my life online, but it becomes extraordinarily frustrating when people are judging me and just coming on here to talk shit when, like, I don’t know, I just maybe I just don’t have to be an influencer. Maybe I just don’t have to be a content creator in my bones. Maybe I’m maybe I’m too sensitive and too weak for it. So that’s it. My rant’s over. I put my life online, but it becomes extraordinarily frustrating when people are judging me and just coming on here to talk shit when, like, I don’t know, I just maybe just don’t have to be an influencer,” the RHONJ alum concluded.

Andy Cohen is furious with Jeff Lewis after he reveals on WWHL that he’s filming for season 18 of the Real Housewives of Orange County.

The former Flipping Out star appeared on the January 17 episode of Watch What Happens Live, where he discussed a bevy of topics including the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City season 4 reunion, the fallout between the Tres Amigas, and season 18 of the Real Housewives of Orange County.  

As AllAboutTRH previously reported, Jeff made it known he doesn’t believe anything RHOSLC star Monica Garcia says. Oh yeah, he also hates the RHOSLC season 4 reunion set. 

While on WWHL, Jeff also shared his thoughts on the recent fallout between Tamra Judge, Vicki Gunvalson, and Shannon Beador and revealed if he thinks they will ever be friends again. 

Jeff, who is close friends with Shannon, told WWHL viewers that he would love to see Tamra, Vicki, and Shannon make up. He also admitted that he’s talked with Shannon and Vicki about their side of the story but has yet to speak with Tamra.

The 52-year-old let it known he plans to chat with Tamra and hear her side of the story in hopes of eventually helping the three reconcile. 

“I intend on speaking to Tamra and finding out why this happened. I don’t understand the rift,” he explained.

Jeff then dropped a bombshell revelation that Andy Cohen wasn’t too happy out. 

“You know, they asked me to film for Real Housewives of Orange County. I’ve always wanted to be a housewife, my dream is coming true. I’m supposed to film a lunch I guess,” Jeff added. 

Andy wasn’t happy with Jeff’s revelation and replied, “Ok good, well maybe that’s something you should keep to yourself.”

Both Tamra and Shannon have both confirmed that filming for season 18 has started. 

On January 17, Tamra tweeted: “Tomorrow is the start of my 14th season #RHOC.”

Erika Jayne Addresses Bringing Up Denise Richards’ Daughter on RHOBH

On WWHL Erika Jayne addressed bringing up Denise Richards’ daughter, Sami Sheen, and her OnlyFans page on RHOBH.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Erika Jayne explains her reasoning for bringing up Denise Richards’ 19-year-old daughter, Sami Sheen, during a recent episode of season 13.

The 52-year-old Pretty Mess singer appeared on the January 17 episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen where she addressed the her recent showdown with Denise involving both Denise and her daughter’s OnlyFans accounts.

Erika explained her motivation behind bringing up Denise’ daughter, stating, “I wouldn’t have brought up Denise’s daughter had she not pushed so hard. That’s really the truth and that’s the answer. I did not want to do this. I did not want to go there, and I really meant that. But if you want it, you can get it.”

On RHOBH, Denise Richards slammed Erika Jayne's comment about daughter's OnlyFans.

On WWHL, a caller questioned Erika’s actions and pointed out the double standard as she previously freaked out over former RHOBH star Eileen Davidson mentioning her son, who is a cop.

Erika replied, “Yeah, I see this a lot, by the way, on social media. You know, I have much better control over my son’s profession than I did then. I feel like if you were to say it to me today, I’d be like, ‘Yeah.’”

Andy Cohen then asked Erika if she considered her actions hypocritical. Erika defended herself, saying, “Not really. But I will say this, I have much better control over my son’s profession than I did then” which she credits to the time and experience he has gained since being on the police force.

Meanwhile, Andy also recently dished on Erika and Denise’s drama on RHOBH while chatting with Life & Style.

While Andy’s not taking sides, he admits there’s no love lost between the former co-stars.

“I don’t have a side,” Andy notes. “I think Denise came into this with some legitimate gripes against the group for how she was treated in her final season.”

As for how Denise handled the fight with Erika, Andy said, “I’m not sure she landed the plane, and I think she would agree with me on that.”

Andy Cohen Hints At Casting Changes for Season 15 of RHONY

by Lara Sophia
written by Lara Sophia

Real Housewives executive producer Andy Cohen teases that some casting changes may happen for season 15 of RHONY.

New York City is always growing, changing, and expanding, and the same can be said for the cast of the Real Housewives of New York, per Andy Cohen. 

The Bravo executive producer reveals that there is room for improvement when it comes to the recently revamped Real Housewives of New York franchise. 

“I think that there were some growth areas, and I think that those will be dealt with next season,” Andy told Us Weekly of season 14 of the Real Housewives of New York.

Season 14 of the Real Housewives of New York starred new Housewives Jenna Lyons, Sai de Silva, Ubah Hassan, Erin Lichy, Jessel Taank, and Brynn Whitfield.

Andy notes that he believes Bravo rebooting the Real Housewives of New York with an all-new cast and bringing back OG cast members for Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: RHONY Legacy are “two of the riskiest things” the network has done. 

“That was something that I lost sleep over, and I was incredibly relieved by the reception and also the grace that people gave because the original RHONY women were just chef’s kiss, and they held such a special place in people’s hearts,” Andy explained. 

The Watch What Happens Live host added that he “was really thrilled” with how RHONY Legacy came together as well as the positive reception from fans. 

RHONY Legacy starred Bravo alums Luann de Lesseps, Ramona Singer, Dorinda Medley, Kelly Bensimon, Sonja Morgan, and Kristen Taekman.

When it comes to comparing the new RHONY cast to the OGs, the Bravo newbies know they can’t compare themselves to the iconic New York Housewives that came before them. 

“I understand those women are iconic and always will be. But it was a different time,” Jenna Lyons told Vanity Fair in July 2023. “It was a  different group of people. It was a different setting. So, my inclination is to not try to compare.” 

Erin Lichy added that she found earlier seasons of the New York Housewives franchise “hysterical” and has “the utmost respect for all those women” but noted that it was time for a change. 

“I feel as though we got to a point where the evolution couldn’t continue because it just became kind of stagnant. [It was] the same thing over and over again,” the 37-year-old pointed out.

It’s unclear when the Real Housewives of New York will return for season 15 or when filming will begin.

RHOBH Star Erika Jayne Could Lose A Million Dollars If Tom Girardi Is Convicted of Fraud Plus, Erika Comments On Tom Being Found Competent to Stand Trial

by Lara Sophia
written by Lara Sophia

RHOBH star Erika Jayne is at risk of losing at least one million dollars in her divorce from estranged husband, Tom Girardi, amid his legal issues.

Tom Girardi’s legal woes are once again affecting his estranged wife Erika Jayne. Currently, the once famed lawyer is in the middle of a criminal fraud trial and was recently found competent to stand trial despite claiming he has dementia. 

While many Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fans have speculated about Erika’s possible involvement in Tom’s alleged fraud, there has been zero evidence tying her to his crimes. 

Still, Erika did file for divorce from Tom in November 2020, just a month before he was criminally charged for embezzling settlement funds from the clients of his Girardi Keese law firm. 

Since 2020, the criminal charges against Tom and his subsequent bankruptcies in 2021 have halted Erika and Tom’s divorce proceedings.

However, now The U.S. Sun reports that Erika could face even more losses when it comes to her divorce from Tom if he gets convicted of fraud. And it’s currently not looking great for the former attorney. 

If Tom is convicted of fraud, it will affect the RHOBH star’s wallet. According to lawyer Ronald Richards, Erika could loose one million dollars on top of “exempt property payouts from the bankruptcy estate.” 

“Her divorce has been sitting on ice since 2021. They’re doing nothing in that case,” Richards explained. “She is set to get half of whatever remains after the bankruptcy case, some things are exempt and there are community assets. But if he’s convicted a restitution order could attack whatever is left, and she could lose out, as well as be on the hook for lifetime alimony payments.”

Basically, if there was theoretically any money left after the bankruptcy case, that doesn’t take into account the restitution Tom may have to pay if convicted of fraud. 

Richards noted that Erika was “not happy” Tom was found competent to stand trial. 

Meanwhile, Erika appeared on the January 17 episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. 

During the appearance, Andy Cohen asked the RHOBH star, ” Do you still speak to him?” referencing her estranged husband, Tom. 

“No,” Erika replied.

The RHOBH star continued, “I thought I told you this, the day I euthanized my dog [Tiago in October] that was the last day. I couldn’t take it. I was literally holding my dog. He was dying in my arms and Tom kept calling. I was like, ‘I can’t do this any long.’ That was it.” 

Andy followed up, stating, “I haven’t spoken to you since Tom was ruled fit to stand trial, what is your reaction?” 

“Competent under the law, I’m not sure what the bar is,” Erika quipped. “I can only speak for what I know and what I lived, which is completely different.” 

“Do you think he is competent to stand trial?” Andy asked, to which the RHOBH star replied, “I don’t know. I’m not a lawyer.”

RHOSLC’s Monica Garcia Explains Using 4 Different Last Names

by Lara Sophia
written by Lara Sophia

RHOSLC star Monica Garcia is clearing the air, and the confusion, surrounding her “many identities.” 

During part two of the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City season 4 reunion, Monica Garcia sets the record straight about her multiple identities which includes various last names that she has gone by over the years. 

On Tuesday, during part two of the RHOSLC season 4 reunion, host Andy Cohen asked Monica Garcia if her maiden name was “Fowler.” 

The RHOSLC rookie corrected Andy, claiming that her maiden name was Darnell and that her “married name” was Fowler. 

“What’s Delgado?” Andy asked, to which Monica replied, “That’s my dad’s side.”

Monica Garcia is in the hot seat at the RHOSLC season 4 reunion.
Monica Garcia is in the hot seat at the RHOSLC season 4 reunion.

“Garcia is my mother’s side,” she explained, when the Bravo executive producer pressed her for futhter clarification. “My mother was born, ‘Linda Darnell Susan Maria Garcia.’ When she was growing up, she was teased for being a Portagee in Boston and she was called [sic] all the time and it stuck with her. I don’t know, so when she became of legal age, she wiped her entire name off because she was ashamed of it and just kept Linda Darnell. So when I was born, I was Linda Darnell.”

Turns out Monica’s legal birth name is “Monica Linda Darnell” just like her mother but the 40-year-old confessed, “that name means nothing to me.” 

She also insists that after her divorce she wanted to use a “family name,” which is why she chose to use the last name “Garcia.” 

“I legally have only ever used three, which is the one I was born with, when I got married, and when I got divorced,” she added. 

Andy then asked why her mother, Linda, was “confused”  and commented on Monica changing her name “every f—ing week” during season 4 of RHOSLC. 

According to Monica, Linda “definitely brought” up her names “as a dig.” Monica says the shady comment came after she confided in her mom about “certain” housewives who were making “fun” of her for using “whatever the f— that I was going to use.”

“Because they were saying I was trying to make myself look more Latina to get on the show,” she added.

Lisa Barlow interjected, asking Monica who she was referring to which is when Monica accused the Vida Tequila owner of saying she “opened a book” and picked a random name to obtain the perfect moniker for reality TV fame. 

“I did not say that — you know who said that? Jen [Shah],” Lisa quipped in defense of herself.

“Jen Shah did. Jen Shah said you went by…” Lisa continued but before she could finish Monica interrupted her, asking if Lisa was “repeating what Jen Shah said” when she made the claim. 

This accusation didn’t sit well with Lisa, who screamed: “You fake f–king bitch!” 

The drama continues to play out next week during part three of the season 4 reunion. Part three is set to dive deeper into Monica’s alter ego social media account, Reality Von Tease.

Part 3 of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City reunion airs on Tuesday, Jan. 23, at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.

RHOC’s Tamra Judge Reveals Reason Behind Fallout With Vicki Gunvalson & Shannon Beador

by Lara Sophia
written by Lara Sophia

RHOC star Tamra Judge is giving fans a deeper look into her fallout with Vicki Gunvalson and Shannon Beador.

According to the Real Housewives of Orange County star her fallout with Vicki and Shannon mostly has to do with business but is multi-layered.

The 56-year-old told Entertainment Tonight that she “backed out” of the Tres Amigas live comedy tour due to scheduling conflicts as well as mixed feelings about the show itself.

“You know, it’s tough. It’s so twisted. And there’s so many layers to it, it’s hard for me to explain everything,” Tamra said, noting that the drama “is gonna be talked about” on the forthcoming 18th season of RHOC, which began filming earlier this week.

“But I didn’t do anything to either one of them,” Tamra insisted. She also claims that both Vicki and Shannon new back in November that she wanted to pump the breaks on the Tres Amigas due to having “too many things on [her] plate.”

“They had already known that. They know my schedule’s super busy,” the RHOC star explained. “I just didn’t have a lot of time to go traveling, and I guess Vicki didn’t like that, and now she’s calling me a traitor.”

On top of that, Tamra also admits she started to view the comedy show which heavily focuses on drinking and partying differently following Shannon’s September 2023 arrest for DUI and hit-and-run.

“It’s difficult. I think that people are gonna understand my concerns,” she confessed, noting that the Tres Amigas “should not have [continued with the tour] right after [Beador’s] DUI.

“I felt like she needed to concentrate on herself. … Conversations were had between us about it — and how I felt,” Tamra said of RHOC co-star Shannon.

At the same time, Tamra claims that she learned about “some things they had said about [her] behind [her] back” which “didn’t sit well” with her at all.

“In 2024 I’m not going to be around toxic people,” she said. “I don’t want friends that are stabbing me in the back and talking behind my back. So I wish them both all the success in the world, but until things change, you know, I don’t need to be a part of it.”

Meanwhile, on Tamra’s Two Ts in a Pod podcast with Teddi Mellencamp she further opened up about her fallout with Vicki and Shannon.

During the January 9 episode of Two Ts in a Pod, Tamra didn’t hold back and slammed her former friends for coming after her loyalty.

Tamra took major issue with Vicki questioning her loyalty when the RHOC OG “never once supported me in anything.”

The mom of four explains that: “We had a meeting in Arizona, and I basically said I have a very busy schedule and filming’s gonna start. I have Traitors press coming out and the reunion to do. And I said I think that you should find a backup because I don’t know how much I can commit to it.”

Despite Tamra being crystal clear with Vicki and Shannon they didn’t get the hint that she wanted out of the Tres Amigas. Tamra’s want to walk away from the Tres Amigas was further fueled by Shannon cutting her off over supporting Alexis Bellino’s relationship with John Janssen.

Then the Tres Amigas manager reached out about an opportunity for a show in Texas which is when Tamra made it clear she wanted to “say goodbye to the Tres Amigas.”

“After the last show experience, I just didn’t feel comfortable and I thought it was time for me to move on.”

She adds that neither Vicki nor Shannon reached out to her “to ask me why” I was done with the Tres Amigas.

Then Tamra says that Vicki started throwing shade at her in the press a few weeks ago before the news broke that she would no longer be a part of the Tres Amigas or be doing live shows with Shannon and Vicki.

Initially, Tamra said she let the shade from Vicki roll off her back but then when Vicki and Shannon announced their new live show and Vicki made a dig about her and Teddi’s Two Ts in a Pod podcast live show, Tamra reached her boiling point and fired back on social media.

“I thought it was time for me to move on. So Vicki started shading me in the press a couple weeks ago. She was just basically saying she wasn’t asked back, she won’t throw napkins in people’s faces [and] she won’t swear at people. She was just insinuating, like, you know, things about me, and I took the high road because I know how badly she wanted to be back on the show,” Tamra explained.

The longtime RHOC star continued:

“I didn’t wanna add fuel to the fire and all that stuff. And then they announced their two women show on social media. Now all Vicki did was send me a text message that was very mean. Uh, it went after my character. Now this is weeks ago and I’m like, ‘Woah, okay. Well, you know, whatever.’ So when they announced their the show and then Vicki reposted something that said about the Two T-Holes or something, I thought how rude. So I just decided I was gonna be a little cheeky. I didn’t mention their live show.“

“In fact, when people Vicky started shading me in the press a couple weeks ago, I was just happy to be done. Like I felt like I took the biggest dump of my life. As I once said in a tagline, the best thing about starting over is never looking back. That’s how I feel,” she admitted

“It’s a long time coming. Eddie [Judge] is hugging me and clapping and doing all the things that I told you so, all of that. So I wish them all the luck in the world. I hope that their their show is successful. I want everybody to be successful. I want my friends, I want my enemies to be successful. I don’t care. You put in the hard work. There’s room for everybody,” Tamra concluded. “But [Vicki] writing the ‘Two T-Holes have nothing on Shannon Beador, Vicki Gunvalson, and Doug Boudin live.’ We know what show you’ll be watching. I’m just happy to be done. Like I said, I felt like I took the biggest dump of my life.”

Bravo has yet to officially confirm the season 18 cast despite filming kicking off this week. Stay tuned for more on this developing story.

Lisa Vanderpump and Ken Todd have been slapped with another lawsuit, this time by two former employees of TomTom. 

More money, more problems! It’s not easy running a restaurant empire, as Lisa Vandeprump and Ken Todd know all too well at this point. 

The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills couple are facing a lawsuit from former employees of their TomTom restaurant in West Hollywood, CA, that they co-own with Vanderpump Rules stars Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz.

According to a legal filing obtained by Page Six, two TomTom bartenders claim they were wrongfully terminated by Lisa and Ken.

The complaint alleges that the two former employees worked at TomTom between May 2022 and December 2022. According to the former bartenders, during their employment, they experienced “rampant violations of California labor laws, harassment, and unsafe working conditions.” 

Said complaint also lists late paychecks and sewage in the employee break room as two examples of labor violations at TomTom. 

The former employees also allege that they were not given shifts to work in December 2022, “constructively terminating them.” 

One of the bartenders also alleges that Ken Todd and Lisa Vanderpump “blacklisted” him from working at future bars by allegedly “defaming him to future employers.” 

Ken and Lisa have yet to publicly respond to the lawsuit.

The Vanderpump Rules executive producers own numerous restaurants in West Hollywood, including TomTom and SUR. They previously owned Villa Blanca, which shut its doors in 2021, and PUMP, which closed in 2023. 

On top of their WeHo restaurant empire, the two also own Vanderpump Cocktail Garden at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, which opened in March 2019. In April 2022, the Bravo couple opened their second Las Vegas establishment, Vanderpump a Paris. This summer, they will be opening their third restaurant in Las Vegas, named Pinky. 

On top of that, Lisa is in the process of opening her first restaurant in Lake Tahoe this year. The new restaurant will be called Wolf by Vanderpump. 

Vanderpump Rules premires on Jan. 30 at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.
