Southern Charm is returning this September for another season of shenanigans and drama.

Longtime cast members Craig Conover, Austen Kroll, Shep Rose, Madison LeCroy, Venita Aspen, Olivia  Flowers, Taylor Ann Green, and Leva Bonaparte are all set to return for season 9 of Southern Charm.

Some fresh faces will join them. Newcomers Jarrett Thomas, Rodrigo Reyes, and Rod Razavi will also be in the mix for season 9.

Fan-favorite Patricia Altschul and her son Whitney Sudler-Smith will also make an appearance or two this season, as well as Summer House star Paige Desorbo.

Much of the drama on season 9 of Southern Charm revolves around rumors that Austen hooked up with Shep’s ex-girlfriend, Taylor. Not only does this affect Austen and Taylor’s friendship, but it also complicates their relationships with Shep and Olivia. If you don’t remember, Olivia and Austen dated last season, while Shep and Taylor dated for two years before splitting in 2022.

While Austen teases that “something happened” between him and Taylor, the 28-year-old insists nothing happened between them when confronted about the rumors by Olivia.

“Did ya’ll hook up or anything?” Olivia asks.

Taylor promises that nothing happened: “Never, swear on my life.”

Things get even more complicated when the group finds out that Shep and Taylor woke up in the same bed after a night out.

Complicated relationship dynamics are the theme of the season, as Craig is dealing with his own relationship issues. Craig and Paige are on different pages when it comes to a timeline for getting engaged.

“I’m not trying to plan a wedding right now,” Paige tells Craig, who fires back, “Why would we date if we’re not going to take the next step?”

Meanwhile, Patricia reveals that one of the ladies in the group sent “nude photographs” to her son, Whitney.

Plus, so much more goes down.

Let's Discuss:

Reality Stars Declaring War on NBC/Bravo; Alleging Sexual & Mental Health Exploitation

by Lara Sophia
written by Lara Sophia

Bravo better buckle up for war as reality stars are calling out the network for various alleged abuses.

TMZ has obtained a letter sent to NBC Universal and Bravo by legal representatives for several reality stars claiming they have been subjected to “grotesque and depraved mistreatment.”

The letter sent by attorneys Bryan Freedman and Mark Geragos claims that current and past cast and crew members of its various reality TV shows have been tormented by the network during their employment.

“As a result, the sordid and dark underbelly of NBC’s widely consumed reality TV universe has remained under wraps for far too long,” the letter reads. “Please be advised that the day of reckoning has arrived.”

The allegations include:

— Deliberate attempts to manufacture mental instability by plying cast members with alcohol while depriving them of food and sleep

— Denying mental health treatment to cast members displaying obvious and alarming signs of mental deterioration

— Exploiting minors for uncompensated and sometimes long-term appearances on NBC reality TV shows

— Distributing and/or condoning the distribution of non-consensual pornography

— Covering up acts of sexual violence

— Refusing to allow cast members the freedom to leave their shows, even under dire circumstances

For instance, the pornography reference mentions the “distribution of revenge porn”; however, no further details have been provided by the attorneys. The attorneys are requesting that NBC obtain internal information concerning several topics including “nonconsensual pornography in connection with cast members … [and] alleged sexual violence perpetrated by or against cast members …”

As Scandoval broke out back in March, the rumor mill claimed that a video of Raquel Leviss and Tom Sandoval masturbating via FaceTime was being sent around by the Vanderpump Rules cast. The allegation never aired during season ten of the show.

Lawyers also claim that NBC Universal and Bravo have “threatened [cast members] with ruin should they decide to speak out about their mistreatment.”

This letter comes just weeks after former Real Housewives of New York star Bethenny Frankel urged reality stars to unionize and join the the SAG-AFTRA strike.

“Hollywood is on strike. Entertainers are fighting for residuals, and no one will promote anything. Why isn’t reality TV on strike?” Bethenny declared on Instagram.

“I myself have generated millions and millions of dollars in advertising and online impressions being on reality TV and have never made a single residual,” she explained. “So, either I’m missing something or we’re getting screwed too.”

She went on to explain that while reality TV stars are often considered the “losers” of Hollywood they were the one who “provided all of the entertainment” to TV viewers during the yearlong Writers Guild of America strike in 2007.

“It’s complete and total bulls–t,” she added. “It just occurred to me, everyone is talking about actors and we don’t get paid s–t.”

Bravo’s Andy Cohen and Bethenny Frankel

Several Bravolebs have backed Bethenny’s urging for reality TV stars to unionize. Vicki Gunvalson, NeNe Leakes, and Lisa Rinna have all back up Bethenny’s game plan.

“Every @Sag/aftra [member] who is on a Bravo show should boycott Bravocon,” the former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star wrote on her Instagram Stories last week.

“You want them to start to take you seriously and pay you the money you deserve? Then start a reality show union per Bethenny,” she concluded. “Time is now.” 

Vicki, on the other hand, commented on Bethenny’s post, writing, “Totally agree! We should be getting residuals for all the times they have used our footage. I got paid $0 season 1.”

As for NeNe, she shared her thoughts on social media.

Grab a Pumptini because more details about the much-anticipated Pump Rules spinoff show have emerged. Here’s everything you need to know.

After months and months of speculation, filming for the Pump Rules spinoff show has officially begun.

Now, The Messenger is revealing more details about the Pump Rules spinoff show, including the cast, filming details, and what Bravo fans can expect.

The upcoming Pump Rules spinoff show will focus on the lives of Kristen Doute, Jax Taylor, and Brittany Cartwright as they navigate their life post-SUR. The show will focus on various life events, including – marriage, pregnancy, kids, work, friendship, and more.

“It’s about their friend group today and the next stages of their lives navigating new relationships,” a source reveals. “It will also follow Kristen and her boyfriend, who co-host a podcast together. They want to try for a family and marriage, and it will show all that. Jax and Brittany also want more kids, and that will be shown.”

On top of Kristen, Jax, and Brittany, the Pump Rules spinoff will star Kristen’s boyfriend, Luke Broderick, as well as married real estate agents Michelle and Jesse Lally.

The show will also star former Miss USA Nia Sanchez and her husband, actor and former iCarly star Daniel Booko. The couple recently welcomed twins on Father’s Day weekend.

The cast will be rounded out with Janet and Jason Caperna and Bachelor Nation alum Jasmine Goode. Brittany’s best friend, Zack Wickham, will also be a cast member.

Current Vanderpump Rules stars Lala Kent and Scheana Shay will also be filming for the Pump Rules spinoff show.

During a recent Amazon Live,  Lala Kent admitted that it’s strange for the friend group to be filming two separate shows at the same time.

“It is so weird that they have a show, and they aren’t on our show,” she said. “As of now, we aren’t on their show. We are all best friends, and we should be filming a show together.”

However, Bravo fans can expect crossovers to happen with both shows over the course of the next eight weeks. Filming for season 11 of Vanderpump Rules is expected to wrap during the first week of September.

“Contracts are being worked out still on how that’ll happen,” the insider explained.

It seems that said crossovers have already started to happen. Lala, Scheana, and her husband, Brock Davis, were spotted filming with the Pump Rules spinoff cast during a part at Jax and Brittany’s house.

Meanwhile, Bravo and Cocktails reports that Jax was spotted filming with Tom Sandoval at Tom Tom earlier this week.

Erika Jayne reveals which co-star takes the crown and “stirs the pot the most” during season 13 of RHOBH.

Erika Jayne appeared on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen this week, where she spilled a whole lot of tea about the upcoming season of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

During a game called Spoiler Superlatives, WWHL host Andy Cohen asked Erika Jayne a bunch of questions about season 13 of RHOBH.

“Who stirs the pot the most this season?” Andy asked, to which Erika replied, “Probably Sutton [Stracke].”

When it comes to “Who sheds the most tears?” and  “Who had the fiercest fashions?” Dorit Kemsley won those titles. Erika noted that she was glad to finally have a season of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills where she shed no tears.

On the other hand, Erika picked Kyle Richards when asked which Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member hosts the best parties.

Erika then quipped that she “probably” talked the most shit in confessional this season. As for “Who will have the most to answer to at the reunion?” Erika replied, “Not me, and I don’t care about the rest. I’m off the hook.”

Meanwhile, Erika also chatted about season 13 of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills during an appearance on New York Live.

The Pretty Mess singer teased, “I had an easier time, but others did not. So, that’s okay.”

The Bravoleb then explained that the group didn’t agree to “play nice” going into season 13 despite dynamics getting very ugly during season 12 of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

“There are moments that you play nice, and there are moments that you don’t,” Erika explained of the dynamics on RHOBH. “That’s a Housewives show.”

Erika also dished on the newest member of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast, Annemarie Wiley.

“She’s confident and outspoken. And you like that [because] it is an indicator of a great Housewife,” Erika revealed of Annemarie.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is reportedly returning to Bravo for season 13 in late 2023. Some reports suggest season 13 will premiere on November 1.

Vicki Gunvalson and Tamra Judge clash as they navigate the complexities of their friendship, with tensions escalating over Tamra's close bond with Teddi Mellencamp.

Vicki Gunvalson Reveals Why She Banned Teddi Mellencamp From Attending the Tres Amigas Show

written by Lara Sophia

Vicki Gunvalson isn’t a fan of RHOBH alum Teddi Mellencamp, which is why she has banned her from attending the Tres Amigas Live Shows.

On Wednesday’s episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Vicki Gunvalson spilled the tea on her ongoing beef with Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Teddi Mellencamp.

Andy Cohen asked Vicki Gunvalson a question from a fan that read: “Is it true you banned Teddi Mellencamp from attending the Tres Amigas Show?”

The OG of the OC didn’t deny the claim.

“Totally true,” Vicki Gunvalson admitted while nodding her head in agreement.

“I can’t stand her,” she quipped. “Just sayin’. I did [ban her].”

Oddly enough, it turns out Teddi wasn’t the only person banned from attending the Tres Amigas Show. Emily Simpson recently revealed that Shannon Beador banned her from attending the live event.

“I feel like right now, I’m good with everyone. I feel like I’m always good with people because I like to resolve things,” Emily told Decider. “But if I had to pick one person — I mean, I guess I would throw it at Shannon because, you know, they did that Tres Amigas show at the Irvine Spectrum, and I was not allowed to go.”

Anywho, the bad blood between Vick Gunvalson and Teddi Mellencamp goes back years at this point. It seems Vicki started the beef while promoting season two of the Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip in June 2022.

Vicki not only shaded Teddi but also her podcast, Two T’s in a Pod, with Real Housewives of Orange County star Tamra Judge.

“Something about her bugs me,” Vicki told Entertainment Tonight before referring to Tamra and Teddi’s podcast as “Two Twits” and “Two Ps in a Todd.”

Teddi clapped back at Vicki’s diss on Instagram.

“Jealous isn’t cute on anyone,” Teddi wrote, adding, “One would think you would be proud of your bestie.” She then accused Vicki of trying to get her fired from the Two T’s in a Pod podcast.

“Be sure to tune into Season 2 of #RHUGT tomorrow on @peacocktv! Starring my friend and @two.ts.inapod cohost @tamrajudge, I can only hope @vickigunvalson got paid in gas cards cause her love tank seems like it’s stuck on empty lately,” Teddi shared alongside a clip from Vicki’s interview with ET. “Hope this post doesn’t have her calling my @iheartradio boss to try and take my job again…? @bricesander.”

The drama between Vicki and Teddi has Tamra Judge caught in the middle. While appearing on WWHL in July 2022, Tamra admitted that it was “very awkward” to be friends with Teddi and Vicki amid their feud, adding that she wants “them to get along.”

Andy Cohen pointed out that it “must be hard for” Tamra to  “love two people who don’t love each other.”

Tamra agreed, noting, “There’s no reason for them not to like each other.”

The Real Housewives of Orange County airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. on Bravo.

Lisa Vanderpump’s Husband, Ken Todd, Sued for Almost $1 Million Over Closure of PUMP Restaurant

by Lara Sophia
written by Lara Sophia

More money, more problems! Lisa Vanderpump’s husband, Ken Todd, has been slapped with a lawsuit over the closure of their PUMP restaurant.

Radar Online reports that the property owner of Lisa Vanderpump and Ken Todd‘s now-closed West Hollywood restaurant, PUMP, has sued the British restauranteur for nearly a million dollars in damages.

According to court documents, “the company 8948 Santa Monica Partners sued PUMP LLC and Todd for breach of contract and promissory fraud and conversion.”

In the lawsuit 8948 Santa Monica Partners claims to be the owner of the West Hollywood property where PUMP was located. They explain that the defendants, Lisa and Ken Todd, leased the property in 2013 to create the third establishment in their West Hollywood bar and restaurant empire.

Initally, they agreed to pay $32,500 per month in rent. By 2020, the rent increased to around $42,500.

8948 also alleged that, per the lease agreement, Todd and Pump LLC agreed to transfer and convey the Liquor License to 8949 after the lease ended.

However, 8948 claims that Ken Todd lied and never had any intent of following the terms of the lease after it was terminated.

The lawsuit also notes that PUMP continued to occupy the property until July 13, 2023, “at which date Pump surrendered possession of the premises.”

Ken Todd, via Todd and Pump LLC, is also accused of failing to pay rent and other charges totaling  $250k. 8948 also alleges that Ken Todd failed to turn over the Liquor License to them after ending the lease.

Furthermore, the lawsuit alleges: “PUMP has removed from the Premises fixtures and property attached to the Premises (“Fixtures”) including without limitation a customized security gate (“Gate”).”

Per The Blast, 8948 has already secured a new tenant for the property but needs the liquor license in order to allow the restaurant to operate as a full-service bar and restaurant.

“Defendants’ and each of their failure and refusal to reassign, transfer and convey the Liquor License to 8948 will cause 8948 to suffer a loss of approximately $56,500 of base rent and other charges for each month that Defendants fail and refuse to reassign, transfer and convey the Liquor License to 8948. In addition, 8948 will suffer a loss of the value of the Liquor License itself with a current estimated fair market value of $150,000,” the lawsuit read.

The property owner of the Santa Monica Ave property demands “$750k in damages for the alleged breach of contract and another $200k for refusing to turn over the liquor license and taxing fixtures.”

“We are aggressively pursuing damages, and he will be held fully liable. Nothing this guy won’t do, including skipping out on rent, attempting to unlawfully remove mature trees on the property, stealing our liquor license and patio gates, and ripping chandeliers out of our ceilings. Half of their employees opted to stay with our new tenant for good reason,” the property owner tells Radar Online.

On Thursday, May 4, Lisa Vanderpump announced that PUMP would close its doors for good in July. The WeHo hotspot opened its doors in 2014 to rave reviews.

In a statement to PEOPLE, Lisa said:

“It’s with heavy hearts that we announce that the lease at Pump Restaurant is expiring, and we will be closing its doors on July 5th, after ten years of beautiful evenings under our olive trees.”

As for why PUMP is closing, Lisa blames that on an increase in rent.

“While we have loved our time operating Pump, to take on another 10-year lease with a huge increase in rent by the landlords is not something we are ready to commit to. After successfully running 37+ establishments for many years, this type of rent is untenable.”

The closure of PUMP has been filmed for season 11 of Vanderpump Rules, which is currently in production.

Vanderpump Rules is set to return to Bravo in 2024.

RHOC’s Vicki Gunvalson Denies Being Obsessed With Ex Steve Lodge Plus Shannon Beador Addresses Recent Rumors

RHOC’s Vicki Gunvalson and Shannon Beador are addressing the rumor mill head-on during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live.

Vicki Gunvalson and Shannon Beador appeared on Wednesday’s episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, where they both tackled the recent gossip going around about their respective lives.

To start RHOC OG, Vicki Gunvalson denied that she’s obsessed with ex Steve Lodge after he recently went to the press, claiming that she wouldn’t stop contacting him.

A fan asked: “What is your reaction to Steve Lodge going to the press saying that you won’t leave him alone and leaving him drunk voicemails?”

“That’s a lie. I’ve blocked out his number. He’s blocked out my number,” Vicki replied.

However, she quickly added that one night, she and Shannon got drunk and called all of her exes up, including Donn Gunvalson.

“We might’ve been over-served one night at Shannon, so we decided to call all my exes Donn. We did all of them, Steve. All of ’em,” Vicki explained.

Shannon added: “And he texted me the next day, ’cause we called from my phone with a recording, and he goes, ‘I’m assuming this was alcohol induced.’ So, I waited a few hours, and I just did a thumbs up.”

Vicki then threw some shade at Steve, saying, “He wants to be famous so bad. I mean, the poor guy really wants to be famous.”

When it comes to her new boyfriend “of a year and a half,” the RHOC alum says it’s going “good.”

“And the good news is he doesn’t wanna be famous. He doesn’t have social media,” she said, adding, “I gave him 18 things on date one. This is what you need to be [and he checked off all the boxes].”

As for her kids, Brianna Culberson and Michael Wolfsmith, they like Vicki’s current boyfriend.

Moving on to Shannon, Andy Cohen explained that he had to ask the RHOC star about the big story about her that is making waves online.

“What do you think the number one question for you is tonight?” Andy teased, to which Shannon replied, “I know there’s a story out there.”

Andy continued, “What happened with John’s daughter? Why were you screaming at her? Were you thrown out of a club for screaming at John Janssen’s daughter, Shannon?”

“Unfortunately, I don’t have a positive relationship with John’s daughter. I’m sorry, which happens often in blended families. Okay. We did have an argument, and I was upset about it,” Shannon explained.

As for why she was fighting with John’s daughter, Shannon said: “’cause John and I were out, we spend time together. Like we’re, you know, one day at a time. We have fun when we do things together.”

She then confirmed that she “did have an argument” with John’s daughter. However, she quickly added: “[I] wasn’t kicked out, but I asked security to help me with my Uber.”

“I absolutely was not kicked out. And John made a statement, and another person made a statement. So why are you pretty stories? They made statements to try to hurt people,” the RHOC star continued.

Lenny Hochstein Slams ‘Selfish’ Lisa Hochstein For Playing the Victim

by Lara Sophia
written by Lara Sophia

Lenny Hochstein dubs his estranged wife, Lisa Hochstein, “selfish” and a perpetual victim after she shades his recent engagement.

The Miami-based plastic surgeon claims that he spent the last two years of his marriage to estranged wife Lisa Hochstein feeling “miserable” because of her “selfish” behavior.

After Lisa Hochstein shaded Lenny’s engagement to Katharina Mazepa, Lenny came out swinging against the Real Housewives of Miami star for her comments.

According to Lenny, Lisa Hochstein is a “selfish, self-centered” person “who cares about nothing [but] herself.” He also accuses Lisa of continuing a “false victim narrative” to gain sympathy from the public.

It’s important to note that Lenny and Lisa are still legally married. Their divorce has yet to be finalized.

“I want to clear up some things. For two years prior to telling Lisa I wanted a divorce, my life was miserable. I was treated like a servant, not a partner,” Lenny told  Us Weekly on Wednesday.

“I was nothing more than an ATM machine to her, funding her party lifestyle and her constant need for more material things,” he added.

Lenny claims that he begged Lisa Hochstein for a divorce “numerous” times over the last two years of their marriage.

“She didn’t care. We [hadn’t had] a husband-wife relationship since 2021. And in 2022, we were living in separate bedrooms,” he said.

“I told [Lisa] that we were going to get divorced and that I was going to start seeing other people. I’m tired of Lisa’s false victim narrative,” he continued. “She’s no victim. She’s a selfish, self-centered person who cares about nothing past herself. Not me, not the children. Absolutely nothing.”

Over the weekend, Lenny became engaged to his mistress-turned-girlfriend of a year, model Katharina Mazepa, during a trip to Ibiza. Lenny reportedly proposed with an engagement ring valued at $1 million.

RHOM is expected to return to Bravo in late 2023 or early 2024.

Robyn Dixon Reacts to NeNe Leakes Calling her and Gizelle Bryant ‘Starless’

by Lara Sophia

Robyn Dixon fires back at NeNe Leakes’ recent claim that she and co-star Gizelle Bryant are “starless” Real Housewives.

On Tuesday night, the Real Housewives of Potomac star reacted to NeNe calling her “starless” during a Q&A on her Instagram Stories.

A fan asked: “What are your thoughts on NeNe calling you and Gizelle starless?”

Robyn Dixon replied:

“Speaking for myself only…she’s right. I’m not a star. I’m a very regular, normal ass person who just happens to be on a reality show. So, no offense taken at all. I do find it strange that I’m even mentioned in that conversation, though.”

During part two of NeNe’s interview with former RHOA producer Carlos King on his Reality With the King podcast, the Real Housewives of Atlanta OG threw shade at several Real Housewives she believed were missing that “star” quality.

NeNe was asked, “Who is a star, and who is starless?”

The Bravolebirty replied that Gizelle Bryant, Robyn Dixon, and Claudia Jordan are “starless” while Kenya Moore is “in-between a star and starless.”

Porsha Williams is a “potential” star, as Phaedra Parks is an “entrepreneurial star.” Kandi Burruss, on the other hand, is a “supporting star.”

As for RHOA’s Sanya Richards-Ross, NeNe thinks she can “say goodbye” to reality TV.

RHOP is expected to return to Bravo in late 2023 or early 2024.

Caroline Manzo & Brandi Glanville’s dramatic RHUGT Season Delayed As Peacock Announces RHONY Legacy to Premiere in December

written by Lara Sophia

Peacock is shaking things up in the RHUGT universe as the streaming network announces that RHUGT RHONY Legacy will premiere in December.

Fans were all ready to watch the drama between Caroline Manzo and Brandi Glanville go down when season 4 of the Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip premiered on Peacock later this year. However, the streaming platform has decided to switch things up amid the drama that went down between Caroline and Brandi while filming season 4 in Morocco earlier this year.

Season 4 of Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip also stars Vicki Gunvalson, Eva Marcille, Phaedra Parks, Camille Meyer, Alex McCord, and Gretchen Rossi.

On Wednesday, Peacock announced that season 5 of RHUGT, which is the RHONY: Legacy season, would be premiering in December ahead of season 4, which has now been pushed to 2024.

RHUGT RHONY: Legacy stars Real Housewives of New York alums Ramona Singer, Kristen Taekman, Dorinda Medley, Kelly Bensimon, Sonja Morgan, and Luann de Lesseps.

On Twitter, Peacock shared:

“We’re in a New York state of mind.

As a thank you to the fans for all of the support for #RHONY and #CrappieLake, the next season of #RHUGT will be RHONY LEGACY coming this December on Peacock! And then we’ll see you in Morocco in 2024″

This news was quite shocking to Real Housewives fans, especially since by the time season 4 of RHUGT airs in 2024, it will be more than a year from when they filmed the actual trip.

As AllAboutTRH previously reported, some major drama went down before filming wrapped on season 4 of RHUGT, resulting in both Brandi Glanville and Caroline Manzo exiting the trip early.

RHUGT stars Brandi Glanville and Caroline Manzo

Insiders claimed that the early exits from filming came after  Brandi allegedly bombarded Caroline with kisses without her consent. 

“It was unwanted,” a source told PEOPLE at the time. “And Caroline’s distress over the matter did not seem to stop Brandi. Things escalated, and physical boundaries allegedly were crossed that Caroline felt were serious and uncomfortable.”

Producers then decided to remove Brandi from the trip after sharing Caroline’s concerns with higher-ups at Bravo. A second source noted that Brandi apologized to Caroline via text message after being made aware of Caroline’s feelings.

“Brandi’s behavior was inappropriate,” a third source said, “so she was asked to leave.”

As for Caroline’s exit: “She needed to process this outside of the reality TV environment.”

An investigation into Brandi’s actions did take place after filming for season 4 of RHUGT wrapped. It is unclear what the findings were.

Since then, Caroline has vowed that she will “never” return to Real Housewives after her “traumatic” incident filming season 4 of the Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip.

Brandi, on the other hand, has claimed that the incident between her and Caroline was complete “BS” and a “f–king setup.” She also alleged that Caroline was “fine.”

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