Former RHOC stars Joe de la Rosa and Gretchen Rossi squashed their long-standing beef over Slade Smiley at BravoCon 2023.

Bravo fans were treated to more than a few blasts from the past at BravoCon 2023 in Las Vegas. Several Real Housewives of Orange County alums reunited at BravoCon, and it looks like a few even squashed their long-standing drama once and for all.

RHOC alums Jo De la Rosa, Gretchen Rossi, Lauri Peterson, and Alexis Bellino presented the OG of the OC, Vicki Gunvalson, with a lifetime achievement award at BravoCon’s award ceremony, The Bravos.

During the presentation, Alexis joked about being the only woman on stage who had NOT slept with Slade Smiley.

Alexis Bellino joked at BravoCon that out of her Laurie Peterson, Jo de la Rosa, and Gretchen Rossi she's the only one who has slept with Slade Smiley.

Speaking of Slade Smiley, Jo De La Rosa and Gretchen Rossi have been at odds over the Orange County lothario for years.

Slade appeared alongside his then 26-year-old fiancée Jo when RHOC first premiered on Bravo in 2006. Their relationship’s ups and downs played out during the first two seasons of RHOC. Ultimately, Jo left RHOC after season two in 2007 and called off her engagement with Slade.

Jo headed to Los Angeles to pursue a career in music. Reality TV and Slade quickly followed. In 2008, Slade and Jo appeared on Bravo’s RHOC spinoff show, Date My Ex: Jo & Slade. Both of Jo’s post-RHOC endeavors were less than successful.

Meanwhile, Slade began dating Jo’s friend and new RHOC star Gretchen Rossi in February 2009. Eventually, Slade and Gretchen got engaged in 2013. They welcomed their daughter, Skylar Grey Smiley, in July 2019. The two remain committed to each other but have yet to tie the knot. As for Jo, she married Taran Gray in 2022.

Slade and Gretchen’s relationship caused some issues between Jo and Gretchen, who felt betrayed that her friend was dating her ex-fiancé.

Jo accused Gretchen of breaking “girl code” by dating Slade, while Gretchen claims she knew Slade long before he dated the RHOC OG.

“Considering she had met Slade through me while we were dating, it was just kind of interesting to see that once I moved to L.A., they ended up together,” Jo told Andy Cohen in 2013. “But I’m happy for the both of them because I truly feel the two of them deserve each other.”

Fast forward to 2023, and Jo and Gretchen have finally moved on from the Slade of it all. According to Jo’s rep, the two former RHOC stars have squashed their beef once and for all.

“Jo and Gretchen did speak,” a rep for Jo told The Messenger. “Apologies were made, and both are in a great place — moving forward in peace and with nothing but respect for each other.”

Currently, Jo works as a marketing and ad sales executive. As for Gretchen, she is an entrepreneur and is set to appear on Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Morocco, which will air on Peacock in 2024.

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

Bethenny Frankel & Denise Richards on How RHOBH Changed Lisa Rinna: ‘There’s a Desperation’

by Lara Sophia
written by Lara Sophia

Oh, the shade! Bethenny Frankel and Denise Richards discuss how RHOBH changed Lisa Rinna for the worse and made her “desperate” AF.

RHOBH alum Denise Richards appeared on the November 8 episode of Bethenny Frankel‘s ReWives podcast, where she dished on the reality of reality TV and her now infamous friendship fallout with Lisa Rinna.

During the interview, Denise Richards discussed how her two-year stint on RHOBH ruined her 20-year friendship with Lisa Rinna.

“My experience with Lisa Rinna was so bad that I thought, ‘OK, what would happen next season?’” Denise Richards recalled, noting that she’d “never” be friends with Lisa Rinna ever again. “I did have a s—- experience. … It wasn’t good with Lisa Rinna, and it was sad to me.”

She continued, “I had a 20-year friendship with her, and to see how she could sacrifice a friendship of 20 years for a show that isn’t gonna last forever — obviously, she isn’t on it anymore — like, at what cost?”

In another clip from Bethenny’s podcast, Denise reveals that if it weren’t for RHOBH, she and Lisa would still be friends.

“We would still be friends, Rinna and I, if we weren’t on the show, I believe,” Denise declared, which surprised the Real Housewives of New York alum.

The Skinnygirl mogul mentioned a point Denise made earlier in the podcast: “That’s interesting because you think that if a marriage would’ve broken up [on reality TV], it would’ve broken up anyway. So doesn’t that mean your friendship would’ve also broken up?”

“I think that you learn a lot about people when you live with them. Travel or work with them,” Denise explained. “So we worked on the same movie. Ironically, my ex-husband was in it, but we didn’t have a scene together, and I didn’t work with her.”

Speaking of working with friends, Bethenny notes that Lisa Rinna long before she joined RHOBH during its fifth season in 2104.

Bethenny and Denise discussed how reality TV can change people for the worse, as RHOBH did with Lisa Rinna.

“I met Lisa not in the machine also. And I really connected with her, and I really liked her. I think that the reality television space or this particular medium it does crazy things to certain people,” Bethenny shared.

“Some people become a different person. And I see a difference even in Lisa Rinna now after ha being off the show; there’s a desperation that has calmed down. She’s doing a lot of fashion, and it seems like she likes it. You’re allowed to change, and you’re allowed to be into fashion. Your daughters are models. But it felt like while she was on the Housewives, it was constant. She was addicted to something, to messaging it, to doing something. She seems different now.”

Denise agreed with Bethenny but clarified her prior comments about her marriage to husband Aaron Phypers surviving reality TV.

So I take that [back] as far as for me personally, ‘Would I think Aaron and I would be married if we were on the show ten years?’ Absolutely. ”

She also added that she believes RHOBH gave Lisa Rinna a type of fame that she never had before, which affected her ego and need for attention.

Denise explained:

“Do I think the show itself, that environment could change people if you allow it? Absolutely. So I do think that you know, Lisa Rinna didn’t have, people knew who she was, but she didn’t have the fame she has now from that show.”

The RHONY OG pointed out: “That’s what I was saying; you were a different type of actress. You had massive fame before, and you still are, Denise Richards. Lisa [and] Kyle [ Richards] didn’t have that kind of fame in that Hollywood entertainment sphere that they do now.

“Like I said, I’ve always liked Lisa Rinna, and I think fame in this way, in that bubble, can make you crazy because when you have it here, you think everybody is talking about this thing. This is one little world. There’s a whole world out there. And nobody knows what’s going on about this [outside of the Real Housewives bubble]. Lisa Rinna was very, very in tune with the machine.”

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.

RHOM Recap: Larsa Pippen Defends Revealing Guerdy Abraira’s Cancer Diagnosis To Co-Stars

written by Lara Sophia

Larsa Pippen defends revealing Guerdy Abraira’s cancer diagnosis to RHOM co-stars despite promising not to on this week’s episode.

On Wednesday’s all-new episode of RHOM, Larsa Pippen blabbed about Guerdy Abraira‘s breast cancer diagnosis to several members of their co-stars despite promising not to tell anyone about her illness just hours before.

The episode started with Larsa and Guerdy continuing their awkward lunch from last week’s episode of RHOM. As the two discussed why Guerdy told Page Six Larsa was the “fakest Housewife,” the wedding planner broke down in tears and revealed her cancer diagnosis to the mom of four.

“I haven’t told anybody except for now you, my family of course, and now you’re the fourth person in the group to know,” Guerdy said while confirming that she already told co-stars Julia Lemigova, Nicole Martin, and Adriana de Moura about her diagnosis.

Guerdy asked Larsa to “take it in confidence right now,” and the former NBA wife agreed.

“Obviously, I hope that you take it in confidence right now just because I’m not sure how I’m gonna the rest of the girls. There’s never perfect timing with these girls,” Guerdy explained.

However, just six hours later, Larsa Pippen spilled the beans to several of her and Guerdy’s RHOM co-stars and a few of her personal friends.

“I went to meet with Guerdy, and I wanted to understand what I ever did to her for her to go public and say I was being fake, and before I know it, she’s like, ‘I have breast cancer,’” Larsa told Lisa Hochstein, Marysol Patton, and KiKi Barth at a party she was throwing for her boyfriend, Marcus Jordan.

All three women were shocked, with Lisa yelling, “What?!” and Marysol breaking into tears.

“It’s not crazy, she’s OK,” Larsa told the ladies. “It’s stage 1 — it’s like early — but she said that, and I was literally, I don’t know what to say.”

When Alexia Nepola arrived at the party, Larsa and Marysol pulled her to the side to reveal Guerdy’s cancer diagnosis.

“So I went to meet with Guerdy, and she goes, ‘I have breast cancer,’ and I literally, Alexia, almost fell over. I didn’t know what to say to her,” Larsa shared.

Larsa then told Marysol and Alexia to “not say anything to her” and to “let her tell you guys.”

Of course, Larsa has received a lot of heat from Bravo fans for her decision to break Guerdy’s confidence and tell the rest of the RHOM cast of her diagnosis.

On Tuesday, the 49-year-old defended her decision to tell the RHOM cast about Guerdy’s cancer diagnosis.

“I called and texted Guerdy after she called me fake in the press. She never responded. We argued back and forth, which wasn’t shown. Then she told me [she] was diagnosed w/ breast [cancer]. I was shocked. I wanted to rally the girls to support her. I’ve been nothing but a good friend to her,” Larsa wrote on Bravo Talk Too Much‘s Instagram page.

Monica Garcia confronts her mom over kidnapping her car on this week's episode of RHOSLC

RHOSLC Recap: Monica Garcia Confronts Mom Linda For Kidnapping Her Car

written by Lara Sophia

On this week’s episode of RHOSLC, Monica Garcia’s bitter feud with her mother, Linda, rages on & remains icier than ever as they come face to face.

Monica Garcia and her mom, Linda, faced off yet again during Tuesday’s all-new episode of RHOSLC.

Their latest showdown comes on the heels of Monica and Linda’s heated blowout at Angie Katsanevas’ Greek Easter party on the October 31 episode of RHOSLC. The fight between the mother-daughter duo resulted in Linda taking Monica’s car in retaliation.

“I come bearing gifts,” Linda says as she exits Monica’s black Range Rover Sport after showing up unannounced at Monica’s house.

The RHOSLC newbie responds, “This is not a gift!”

In her confessional, she adds that “there’s been zero communication” with her mom since their blowout at dinner following Angie K’s party.

Linda clarifies that she’s returning Monica’s Range Rover as “a peace offering.” However, Monica has reached her limit with her mom and puts her foot down.

“I can’t do this anymore,” Monica declares. “I can’t live with when you get upset or mad that you are just going to come and take my car from me.”

Linda promises never to do it again, but Monica isn’t buying it.

“This is our pattern,” the 40-year-old RHOSLC star explains. “Our relationship has always been very volatile and very up and down. It’s like high highs and low lows.”

As for Linda, she pleads with Monica to go to counseling to work on their relationship issues.

“I clearly have some skills to learn,” Linda notes. “When we had dinner, I was serious about therapy. I think it would be so good for us. We need to get back on track. The cycle of dysfunction in our family goes back generations, right? You and I can be the ones to break it. Are you down to have therapy with me?

Monica fires back, “Mom, you just kidnapped my car from me, and you want to talk about dysfunction?”

When it comes to going to therapy, Monica tells her mom, “I don’t know. I would like to think about it honestly because we have gone to therapy for years.”

“You and I can be the ones. I’m serious,” Lindsa tells her daughter, who will “think about” going to therapy.

In her confessional issues, the RHOSLC newbie opens up about her hesitation to move forward with her mom.

“My mother and I have been to therapy together several times—it did not help,” she admits. “We go to therapy, my mother shows up, she’s not herself, and unless you’re going to go to therapy and be really freaking brutally honest and show up as your messed up self, it doesn’t fix anything.”

Monica then makes her mom walk home – in the cold.

Turns out Linda had to do just that, according to her Twitter, where she revealed that even RHOSLC production wouldn’t give her a ride home because it was a “liability.”

RHOM star Julia Lemigova Says Larsa Pippen's Jealousy Caused Split From Marcus Jordan

RHOM’s Larsa Pippen Freaked Out After Finding Photos of Julia Lemigova on her Boyfriend’s Phone

A cold front is moving through Miami! RHOM’s Larsa Pippen accuses Julia Lemigova of trying to seduce her boyfriend, Marcus Jordan, at BravoCon.

There’s always drama brewing behind the scenes of the Real Housewives. At BravoCon 2023 in Las Vegas, RHOM star Larsa Pippen found herself in a feud with co-star Julia Lemigova.

Julia asked Larsa’s longtime beau, Marcus Jordan, to take some snaps of her at BravoCon, which did NOT sit well with the mom of four.

As a result, Larsa has sparked an unexpected cold war with Julia as the 49-year-old dragged the entire RHOM cast into their drama.

According to sources, Julia and others thought nothing of the former Russian model asking Marcus to snap some photos of her at BravoCon. The photos were nothing more than images of Julia smiling – nothing sexy or provocative.

However, Larsa didn’t see the photos that way, thus sparking an unexpected cold war with Julia as the 49-year-old dragged the entire RHOM cast into their drama.

TMZ reports that Larsa told the RHOM cast that Julia’s photo request was an attempt to seduce Marcus. Larsa took particular issue with Julia’s request that Marcus take the photos with his personal cell phone.

The drama intensified when Julia requested the photos Marcus took of her at BravoCon. Unaware of Larsa’s anger, Julia was finally looped in by the rest of the RHOM cast.

This all resulted in a super cold standoff between Larsa and Julia.

Julia has grown tired of Larsa’s antics and jealous. The 51-year-old believes that the RHOM OG is engaging in a smear campaign against her.

Meanwhile, former Real Housewives of New Jersey and Real Housewives of Atlanta producer Carlos King spilled more tea about Larsa’s BravoCon beef with Julia on the November 13th episode of his podcast, Reality With the King.

Carlos explains:

“Marcus asked Julia if she wanted him to take a couple of pics of her, and Marcus did it. So, you know, Julia is beautiful. She’s a model. She’s gorgeous. So Marcus took out his phone and started taking pictures of Julia because Julia wanted, I mean everybody does that. Julia wanted to like pose and do all that stuff. So, at this time, Larissa was nowhere to be found.

Then, either later that night or the next day, Larsa allegedly, I don’t know if she was going through his phone or Marcus volunteered the information, but Larsa saw the pictures of Julia on Marcus’ phone and freaked out: ‘Like, why do you have pictures of Julia in your phone?’ I am pretty sure Marcus explained what happened.

Larissa did not like it at all. So, instead of Larsa checking Julia about this, she tells the other Miami housewives what Julia did. Larissa allegedly told the other Miami Housewives, ‘Can you believe that Julia had like Marcus take pictures of her on his phone?’ Like you don’t think that’s weird? I think it’s so weird.’ So all the Housewives knew this except Julia.

[Then] Julia texts Larsa, saying she wants the pictures of her that Marcus took. But instead of Larissa responding, she ignored her. So Larissa allegedly ignored Julia and instead told the other girls. Finally, after a couple of days, Larsa told Julia, ‘Marcus is not your photographer.’ And they had it out.

Now Larsa, mind you, or should I say, I must remind you Julia is a lesbian. I don’t think she wants Marcus – like at all, and this is no shade. If Adriana [de Moura] told Marcus, ‘Take pictures of me’ and was posing sexy. I would believe that more.”

RHOM airs Wednesday at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo.

Gizelle Bryant and Robyn Dixon Shade How Bad Some Real Housewives Look From Ozempic

by Lara Sophia
written by Lara Sophia

Real Housewives of Potomac stars Gizelle Bryant and Robyn Dixon are being Reasonably Shady about Real Housewives using Ozempic.

“Emily [Simpson] from OC looks beautiful,” Gizelle Bryant declared on the November 13th episode of her and Robyn Dixon’s Reasonably Shady podcast.

“And so her Ozempic journey has been good for her. I cannot say the same for the rest of these ladies,” she continued.

“I agree, she looks great,” Robyn Dixon said. “I think I heard that she took Ozempic to jumpstart it. And then got off of it, and now she’s just like working out and eating healthy.”

Gizelle Bryant then got extra-shady: “She looks good. The rest of them don’t.”

“Some people, I want the old person back,” Robyn Dixon quipped before she and Gizelle Bryant agreed that Real Housewives of Atlanta star Marlo Hampton “looks good though.”

“Marlo looks like you wouldn’t necessarily know she’s on it, or if that she took it. She looks like she just lost a little bit of weight,” Gizelle Bryant noted, to which Robyn added: “And her booty’s still juicy.”

Over the past year, several Real Housewives have either denied or owned up to using the weight loss drug Ozempic.

Kyle Richards and Erika Jayne of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills have both denied using Ozempic despite dropping a significant amount of weight in the past year.

For Kyle, she’s credited her weight loss to diet, exercise, stress, and stopping drinking. As for Erika, she claims her weight loss is a result of getting her hormones regulated during menopause.

Real Housewives of New Jersey stars Dolores Catania, Margaret Josephs, and Jennifer Fessler have all proudly admitted to using Ozempic for weight loss.

“I wasn’t going to come to the reunion looking any bigger than anyone else, so I got on the bandwagon,” Dolores said on Watch What Happens Live in April before noting that “not one” of her RHONJ co-stars isn’t also taking the drug.

Meanwhile, Real Housewives of Orange County‘s Emily Simpson credits Ozempic for kickstarting her recent 40-pound weight loss, aided by a breast reduction and liposuction on her arms.

“So I did. I did that in December. For one month, and you know, that was a great kickstart for me,” Emily explained in June on SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live. The RHOC star noted that she lost five to seven pounds on Ozempic but stopped taking the medication because it left her exhausted.

Robyn and Gizelle aren’t the only Bravolebs to slam skinny Real Housewives for using Ozempic to get even skinnier.

On  Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast in May, RHONJ alum Lauren Manzo said:

“I have been considered morbidly obese. I do think that people shouldn’t abuse [Ozempic]. I think it’s being abused because I see people, ‘Housewives,’ that are posting, and you literally see their ribs, and it’s sad because you were already skinny.”

RHOSLC: Did Lisa Barlow’s Son Jack Ditch His Mission to Colombia? Find out…

by Lara Sophia
written by Lara Sophia

Rumor has it that Jack Barlow, the son of RHOSLC OG Lisa Barlow, ditched his mission to Colombia for one in Orange County. Get all the tea!

Lisa Barlow‘s major storyline for season 4 of RHOSLC centers around her oldest son, Jack Barlow’s decision to press pause on college and serve a mission for the Mormon Church instead.

“About a month ago, Jack and I got into it at home because I wanted to see his essays for two schools he was applying to. He sits down next to me and starts bawling. And I’m like, “What’s going on, Jack?” He’s like, “Mom, it’s gonna be okay because I decided to go on a mission,” Lisa explained in her RHOSLC season 4 confessional interview.

“A mission is devoting two years of your life to serving others and teaching people about Jesus Christ. So, Jack’s giving up two years of his life to basically help everyone but himself,” she added.

Jack’s plans to forgo college and embark on a two-year missionary trip shocked Lisa and several other members of the RHOSLC, including Heather Gay.

The Bad Mormon author questioned why Lisa would let Jack go on a mission when she and her husband, John Barlow, are not full-fledged Orthodox Mormons since they drink and don’t follow all of the church’s rules.

“It was like a hard knuckle-breaking work. Like you are knocking on doors selling The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, that’s all it is. You’re a door-to-door salesman. This seems like a big conflict,”  Heather said while explaining what it is like to serve a mission with the Mormon Church.

On a recent episode of RHOSLC, Lisa and John threw a massive party for Jack and his friends to learn where the Mormon Church had called the 18-year-old to serve his mission. At the party, the Barlows learned that Jack would serve his mission in Bogota, Columbia.

Upon learning about the location of Jack’s mission, Lisa joked in her RHOSLC confessional that he would most likely spend the next two years being held up at gunpoint daily.

In early September 2023, Jack left for his two-year mission with the Mormon Church. Most RHOSLC fans assumed that when Jack left for his mission in September, he was heading to Columbia; however, that may not be true.

Now, it seems that Jack may not have moved to Columbia after all and may be living in Orange County.

On November 13, a Reddit user claimed to have spotted Jack Barlow in a TJ Maxx in Tustin, California.

“I just saw Jack Barlow at TJ Maxx/Home Goods in Tustin, CA. He was wearing his LDS badge and was with another missionary guy,” the Reddit user wrote. “The missionary guy was shopping; Jack was on the phone. Apparently, Jack wasn’t interested in discount shopping. I’m guessing Lisa didn’t let him go to Colombia for his mission. Instead, he went to Irvine/Tustin (literally one of the safest cities in the entire United States).”

As this bit of gossip made its way around the blogs and social media, Lisa Barlow set the record straight on Jack’s mission with the Mormon Church.

Lisa replied, “Thank you!!! His VISA was delayed.”

While chatting with E! News‘ Justin Sylvester and Adrienne Bailon-Houghton on the November 8th episode, Crystal Minkoff shared which Bravolebrities were not friendly at the reality TV convention in Las Vegas.

“There were so many,” Crystal confessed. “It’s shocking. I’m not gonna say any names, but New York.”

During day one of BravoCon, the 53-year-old former Flipping Out star quipped:

“Did you all see, uh, episode one of season 13? Did you notice how Crystal [Minkoff] didn’t talk the entire time? It was the best episode of ever single with Crystal in it. Best episode.”

“That’s Jeff Lewis, and he’s sort of known for sticking it to people,” the 40-year-old explained to E! News. “He apologized, and so I won.”

Crystal previously responded much sassier to Jeff’s shade while chatting with Access Hollywood at BravoCon.

“He texted me, and he apologized, and I said, ‘Thank you for apologizing ’cause you’re a cocksucker.’ He being a he’s bitchy. He’s a bitchy guy. It’s because he wants to be a housewife, and he never will be. So that’s why,” she said.

Meanwhile, Crystal also addressed Garcelle Beauvais‘ comment at BravoCon that she is the RHOBH cast member who acts the most differently in front of the cameras.

“I understand what Garcelle’s saying,” the mom of two admitted. “When I’m off camera, she’s like, ‘You’re so fun, you’re so relaxed, you’re so sarcastic. Why are you not like that on camera?’ I’m like, ‘I’m trying to get used to it.’ Most of these girls are actors.”

Crystal noted that she still gets nervous in front of the Bravo cameras despite being on RHOBH for the past three seasons.

“It’s just not normal if you’re not an actor,” she continued. “It’s not normal having 10 cameras sitting on you. So, sometimes I clam up a little bit. This year I’ve gotten much better. I’ve gotten more relaxed about it, but I actually don’t disagree.”

RHOBH staple Mauricio Umansky gets cozy with a mystery blonde in Austin, Texas, amid separation from wife Kyle Richards.

According to Us Weekly, Mauricio Umansky was reportedly seen “getting very close” with a blonde woman at the Soho House Austin in Texas on Saturday.

“He was all over her,” an insider revealed. “There was no kissing, but they were getting very close.”

On this week's episode of RHOBH, Mauricio got upset with Kyle for telling his mom about his tattoo.

Mauricio Umansky and the mystery woman sat beside each other while dining with a group of people, per the eyewitness.

“He was flirting with her and holding her hand at one point,” the eyewitness claimed.

“They were whispering to each other. He had his arm behind her. They were definitely having fun together, and she was into it. They left together with the group.”

The Buying Beverly Hills star and founder of The Agency was in Austin to record an episode of The Skinny Confidential’s Him & Her Podcast with Lauryn and Michael Bosstick.

This flirtatious outing comes just weeks after Mauricio Umansky denied he was dating his Dancing With the Stars partner Emma Slater after they were spotted holding hands.

As AllAboutTRH previously reported, Mauricio and Emma were seen with their arms wrapped around each other following a dinner date in Beverly Hills, California. Both claimed the dinner date/hand-holding was innocent and that they were nothing more than friends.

“For full clarity, we are not dating,” Mauricio said in an Instagram Story video on October 26 alongside Emma. “We’ve been dancing together for six weeks, four hours a day, every single day.”

“We do want to address this story, this whole thing, going out and about whether or not Emma and I are dating — whether we went out on a date. For full clarity, we are not dating,” he continued.

Despite Mauricio Umansky’s claim that nothing romantic was happening between him and Emma, his wife, Kyle Richards, admitted that it was “very hard to see” the photos of them holding hands.

“I really wish I had not said anything,” Kyle admitted in her RHOBH confessional interview.
“I really wish I had not said anything,” Kyle admitted in her RHOBH confessional interview.

“I was taken aback. That was very hard to see. It hurt my feelings,” Kyle said on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen in October. “I mean, hold holding hands like that. Andy, I really don’t. Why are you doing this to me? Well, I just don’t think you hold hands like this. Well, the thing is this: I don’t know if anything’s happened yet, but obviously, there’s something there. And I love him very much, and we are amicable, but that really did hurt me.”

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

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

Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky got into a heated confrontation during a family party on Wednesday’s episode of RHOBH.

By September, Kyle and Mauricio finally confirmed their separation.

“We are currently separated, we are not talking about divorce, and we’re trying to deal with this stuff internally with ourselves privately,” Mauricio told TMZ.

“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 husband reiterated.

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 airs on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.

RHONJ: Margaret and Melissa Shade Jackie’s Budding Friendship With Teresa

Getting shady! Margaret Josephs and Melissa Gorga aren’t thrilled with Jackie Goldschneider’s growing friendship with RHONJ OG Teresa Giudice.

Bravo fans will see Jackie Goldschneider‘s rollercoaster relationship with Teresa Giudice take a positive turn when season 14 of RHONJ premieres in 2024.

While filming season 14 of RHONJ, Jackie and Teresa’s up-and-down relationship blossomed into a genuine friendship as the 47-year-old’s close bond with Melissa Gorga and Margaret Josephs strained.

At BravoCon 2023, Jackie opened up to Us Weekly about how her friendship with Teresa came about after years of feuding.

“Growing, new, mutually respectful, and unexpected,” Jackie explained when asked to describe her friendship with Teresa.

She elaborated: “It was really organic. It was like we were just talking at a party, and then we were talking more, and then we started calling each other, and then we hung out and started hugging, like we like each other. It really grew organically.”

Melissa and Margaret also weighed in on Jackie and Teresa’s new-found friendship at BravoCon.

“Jackie and I are not where we used to be in life; we’re not where we used to be, which is sad,” Margaret Josephs said during part one of the RHONJ panel at BravoCon.

“She informed me that we were not as close as we used to be. I think I took offense to that, and things went a little south,” she continued. “She has a nice case of amnesia.”

Melissa Gorga chimmed in:

“I love Jackie; we’ve been friends forever, but a lot of things came out of left field… It’s confusing for me. I don’t know how authentic she’s being about her new decisions in life. Everyone needs to remember who their friends are when they’re down, not just when they’re standing back up.”

Meanwhile, both Margaret and Melissa also talked to Page Six about their friendship woes with Jackie and her friendship with Teresa.

Margaret doesn’t care about Jackie’s friendship with Teresa but says it’s “not very authentic to who [Jackie] really is, but you know some people need to feel relevant.”

She adds: “I’m cordial to Jackie, I will always love her…I have a soft spot in my heart for her, but we’re not in a good space.”

When it comes to speculation that Jackie and Margaret‘s drama has something to do with the 47-year-old’s recently released memoir, “The Weight of Beautiful,” Margaret said:

“I championed her for that book; I wanted her book to be successful. I had my own book with Simon & Schuster [that] did unbelievably well, and I want only good things for her. I want good things for everybody. Even if I don’t love them, I want good things for people, you know what I’m saying? I support women unconditionally.” 

“No one gets anywhere on their own. This is a team. I have a beautiful team behind me. I couldn’t be me without everybody behind me,” Margaret continued. “I think she got very offended when I said, ‘I championed you,’ and that didn’t mean anything behind it. And I think she was very offended that I said that.”

On the other hand, Melissa believes that Jackie created drama with Margaret for attention and more screen time throughout season 14 of RHONJ.

“I think that sometimes people feel like they need to ruffle feathers to make a splash — and it’s unfortunate,” the On Display podcast host said.

“You need to stay authentic to your true self, and I think she’s looking for rumblings, trying to throw things out there and seeing if they stick,” she continued. “And God bless.”

At BravoCon, Dolores Catania also weighed in on Jackie’s fallout with Melissa and Margaret.

According to Dolores, the entire RHONJ cast was “surprised at the Jackie situation.”

“I was. I think everybody was. They’re not in the same place they used to be, Jackie and Margaret,” Dolores explained. “But I’m happy she’s here, and I’m in a good place with Jackie. That’s all that matters to me.”

As for Jackie, she’s made it clear that she isn’t “sad” over the ending of her friendship with Margaret.

“There was a trust that got broken, and I don’t know that that’s so easily repaired,” Jackie Goldschneider told Page Six at BravoCon, confirming that her friendship with Marge is OVER for good.

“I’m not sad,” she added. “I think the friendship kind of came to an end, and I think everybody will see it, and they’ll understand why I’m not sad.”

Jackie also told fans at BravoCon that she recalls precisely what led to the demise of her friendship with Margaret while also opening up about switching RHONJ panels.

“I remember everything very clearly, and I think that clarity is why I’m there and not with Margaret,” she said during part two of the RHONJ panel at BravoCon. “Friendships evolve, but again, that was a switch made by the higher-ups. It wasn’t only about me; someone was switched with me. But I am very happy to be here. I belong here.”

RHONJ will return to Bravo for season 14 in 2024.
