Jill Zarin opened up to former BFF, Bethenny Frankel on Bethenny’s podcast, Just B earlier this week and didn’t hold back.

The two agreed how disgusting it was that Andy Cohen would have Bethenny Frankel bring cameras to Bobby Zarin’s funeral without Jill Zarin’s approval and Jill also opened up on the real reason she was upset with Bethenny. They even spoke about how producers tried hard to put a wedge between them

Jill also opened up about the real reason she was upset with Bethenny saying, “The reason I was mad at you … is because I was hurt. And maybe I didn’t express it, I didn’t share it I was hurt that I was losing you and was being left out of everything.”
Jill believes that had Bethenny done season four and not went on her own, the former BFFS would have made up.
Bethenny wasn’t so sure saying, “We would’ve, but it would’ve gotten dirty, and it would’ve been for the show.”

The two were the best of friends when things quickly took a turn and Bethenny accused Jill Zarin of being jealous of her.

The Fallout:

During the fallout, Bethenny revealed that Jill Zarin was jealous when she hosted, ‘The Today Show.‘

Bethenny had told E online, “I remember there was a turning point and I was hosting the Today show. When I got there, the first thing that was told to me by the producers was Jill called her and she lost her mind. ‘Why not me? I’m better than her.'”

Another problem was Bethenny’s ex, Jason Hoppy. Jill apparently wasn’t a fan of Jason and for good reasons.

Back in 2012, Jill Zarin said that she made up the feud but that it ruined the friendship for real. She told Huffington Post, “I thought at the time, that was a good idea. I said, you know what? That’ll surprise the fans.”
According to Bossip, Jill also said that Bethenny only considered the friendship, a “business relationship,” saying, “I really thought Bethenny and I were like sisters. I really miscalculated our friendship because we weren’t like sisters — it was a business relationship for her.“

Both Bethenny and Jill are no longer on the Real Housewives nor did they participate on season 5 of the Real Housewives: Ultimate girls trip which featured RHONY stars, Luann de Lesseps, Sonja Morgan, Ramona Singer, Dorinda Medley, Kelly Bensimon and Kristen Taekman

Jill Zarin has reunited with her former BFF and co-star Bethenny Frankel. In a shocking interview, the Real Housewives of New York alum reunited with Bethenny Frankel for the first time in years.

The former RHONY stars had a fall out back in 2010 and haven’t reconciled until now. Bethenny had Jill Zarin come on her podcast, Just B and the two women didn’t hold back.

On Monday, Bethenny shared a photo of the duo with a caption that said, “Tonight, Jill and I reunite for the first time one on one since 2010.”

A big topic of discussion was when cameras showed up to Jill’s husband, Bobby Zarin’s funeral back on season 10. Jill shocked viewers when she told Bethenny that she never agreed to film that scene outside the funeral.

Bethenny explains to Jill that Andy told her when Bobby was in the hospital he would have loved coverage of this and that she brought cameras to the funeral because Andy assured her that Bethenny could bring cameras.

Jill explained, “If that was true, would they need a release from me, to get my voice on camera? Do they have one? I will tell you, they do not.”
She added, “If I tell you there is no release, you have to know I didn’t know.”
Bethenny seemed upset and replied, “What you’re saying is that I ambushed a funeral for f$$king reality television. That’s disgusting.”

Both ladies then discussed how Andy did admit to Jill Zarin that they didn’t have a release from her, but knew she wouldn’t sue the production company.

Are you surprised about the behind the scenes drama regarding Bobby’s funeral?

Shutting down the gossip! Erika Jayne has Kyle Richards back as she and her husband, Mauricio Umansky, navigate the hardest year of their marriage.

Erika Jayne insists that her Real Housewives of Beverly Hills costar Kyle Richards is not splitting from her husband, Mauricio Umansky, after 27 years of marriage.

“I’m going to let Kyle really explain, but they’re not splitting,” Erika said in an interview with Billboard published Friday.

“They have had a very hard time. They’ve acknowledged that,” she continued. “They’ve acknowledged that, I remember when I was going through my divorce/disaster scandal, there were a lot of people speaking that really didn’t know what I was going through.”

“I just know that it’s been very hard, and you’ll get to see that,” the Pretty Mess singer added. “She’ll be able to explain herself, and that’s where I’d like to leave that.”

As AllAboutTRH previously shared, earlier this month, PEOPLE reported that Kyle and Mauricio were separating after 27 years of marriage.

According to sources, Kyle and Mauricio had “been separated for a while now.”

However, the two “are still living under the same roof. They remain amicable as they figure out what’s next for them and their family.” 

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

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

Meanwhile, filming for season 13 of RHOBH has resumed amid Kyle and Mauricio‘s marital woes.

Filming for season 13 of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills officially wrapped in May, but Bravo took a page out of Vanderpump Rules and got the cameras back up and running amid reports of Kyle and Mauricio’s marriage issues.

On SiriusXM’s Radio Andy, Andy Cohen teased that Kyle and Mauricio’s marital drama will be featured on season 13 of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

“Um, what am I gonna say to this?” the Watch What Happens Live host said, according to PEOPLE. “I wanna say that this will be included next season of Beverly Hills in some way, shape, or form; that’s all I’ll say.”

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.

New RHONY Cast Members Detail ‘Bitchy’ Run-in With OG Ramona Singer

by Lara Sophia
written by Lara Sophia

A few members of the new RHONY cast got a taste of life on the Ramona coaster when they met RHONY OG Ramona Singer! Get the scoop!

It’s not surprising to hear that RHONY OG Ramona Singer didn’t exactly embrace the fresh, new faces of the New York Housewives franchise when meeting them.

On Sunday, the Real Housewives of New York cast, including Jenna Lyons, Sai de Silva, Jessel Taank, Brynn Whitfield, Erin Lichy, and Ubah Hassan, appeared on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, where two members of the cast reflected on their experiences meeting Ramona Singer. It’s safe to say they got a taste of the Singer stinger.

RHONY cast members Sai de Silva and Ubah Hasson had similar yet different experiences when meeting Ramona Singer, who starred in the Real Housewives of New York franchise from seasons 1 through 13 until Bravo put the franchise on pause in 2021.

Ubah seemed to have a mostly positive experience meeting the OG New York housewife. Even though, in typical Ramona fashion, she insinuated that Ubah won’t be able to find a husband after joining Real Housewives of New York. Yikes.

“First of all, she’s very beautiful, like, drop dead and gorgeous. She just asked, ‘You’re so pretty. Are you married?’ And I was like, ‘No.’ She goes, ‘Oh honey, after this show, forget it,’ [meaning] I’m not gonna get married,” Ubah shared.

As for Sai, her encounter with Ramona was much more awkward and less friendly. According to Sai, she ran into Ramona at Art Basel in Miami, and Ramona was a “total b-tch” towards her during the meeting.

“Ramona was a total b-tch to me at Art Basel. I introduced myself. That didn’t go really well,” Sai confessed on WWHL. “She treated me like not a good fan, and then after that, I proceeded to say, ‘Oh, I just wanted to introduce myself. I’m on the reboot, the new era.’ She said, ‘Hey, good luck, you’re gonna need it.’”

Not too long ago, Ramona gave her thoughts on the RHONY reboot and its new cast while appearing on Melissa Gorga’s On Display podcast. Let’s just say Ramona still seems a little bitter over the reboot and Bravo kicking her to the curb.

“It’s a different era,” said Ramona. “Bravo knows what they’re doing.”

From what it seems, Ubah and Sai are the only members of the New York cast who have been stung by the Singer stinger. In June, the new RHONY cast chatted with Cosmopolitan, where they discussed Ramona’s “bitchy” behavior towards the new cast.

Erin Dana Lichy revealed she also had a bad experience with Ramona, saying, “I think she was mean to a lot of people.”

Jenna Lyons, on the other hand, added that Ramona was “definitely salty.”

And despite Ramona’s comment that Ubah will die alone after joining the RHONY cast, Ubah insists she found the OG Housewife “funny.”

“You might think it was mean, but it was hilarious,” Ubah quipped.

The Real Housewives of New York airs on Sundays at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

NeNe Leakes Comments on Whether Kim Zolciak’s Divorce Drama Was Staged to Get the OG Back on RHOA

by Lara Sophia
written by Lara Sophia

NeNe Leakes has quite a bit to say about Kim Zolciak’s messy divorce drama! Does NeNe think it’s all a ploy to get Kim back on RHOA? Find out!

It’s no secret that Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann’s two-month-long divorce drama was chaotic and messy AF. The two called the cops on each other numerous times and made bold accusations against each other in court filings, which is why they suddenly called off their divorce earlier this month the Bravoverse was left scratching their heads.

Naturally, Bravo fans began to wonder if all of this drama was a way to drum up interest in the former reality TV couple in order to get Kim back on RHOA. It’s no secret that Kim and Kroy could use a big fat paycheck from Bravo amid their ongoing money woes, which include unpaid credit cards, missed car payments, and a $1 million tax lien. On top of their debt, Kim and Kroy also need to fund Kim’s outrageous gambling habit. Kroy recently revealed that Kim spent $700k this year alone via online gambling.

Now, fellow Real Housewives of Atlanta OG, NeNe Leakes, is sharing her two cents on it all. TMZ recently caught up with NeNe at LAX, where she didn’t hold back on her comments about Kim and Kroy’s messy – and possibly fake -divorce.

When asked NeNe her thoughts on Kim and Kroy calling off their divorce, she replied, “Oh, nothing. Listen, it’s a marriage, and so we have a lot of highs and lows. So, hopefully, they’re gonna work it out. They have a family.”

NeNe acknowledged that Kim and Kroy’s divorce “was kinda messy,” but she pointed out that the drama “makes great TV.”

She noted: “But, you know, I wouldn’t personally wanna act like I’m having some issue with my husband … just to get back on TV. I wouldn’t want to do that.” 

As for whether NeNe thinks Kim will return to RHOA, the 55-year-old said: “Oh, I’m sure … she’ll get back on the show, whether she [faked her divorce] or not.” 

“We’ve talked on the phone. I’ve reached out to her a few times.” NeNe revealed when asked if she’s been in contact with Kim.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta airs on Sundays at 8 p.m. on Bravo.

Fans Are Loving the RHONY Reboot – Did You Enjoy the S14 Premiere?

written by Lara Sophia

RHONY is back on Bravo with an all-new cast after a two-year hiatus. And fans are loving the refresh and new Housewives!

Welcome to New York! The Real Housewives of New York is back in action.

 Ubah Hassan, Jenna Lyons, Sai De Silva, Erin Lichy, Jessel Taank, and Brynn Whitfield have officially rebooted the RHONY franchise after Sunday’s season 14 premiere on Bravo.

The Real Housewives of New York season 14 cast has some big shoes to fill as the franchise and its previous cast members are some of the most beloved characters on Bravo.

However, the RHONY cast’s big personalities and over-the-top lives seemed to catch viewers’ attention and keep them engaged in the petty yet fun drama. So far, Bravo fans are loving what they are seeing!

Let’s see what Bravo fans had to say about the RHONY season 14 premiere before getting your thoughts on the reboot!

“Really enjoyed. The refresh was needed, and they should do this with every city after a certain period of time so it doesn’t get stale. We don’t need to see the same faces for 10+ years,” one fan said of the RHONY reboot.

A second fan quipped: “This is what I expect Housewives to be like. Glamorous and none of that trashy fighting.“

“Ok, but Erin and Sai fighting over cheese is the type of rich, petty nonsense I love about Housewives. I’m sold!” the Bravo gossip account MarTEAnis with Eddy shared.

“New #RHONY is giving. It’s light and fresh, they got coin, they got fashion, a little drama but not toxicity, husbands but in the background where they belong,” a third fan commented.

“Now, THIS casting is stellar. They felt so natural and so authentically NEW YORK! Chopping the racist before filming was the right move. This cast weirdly works. Jenna is a bit reserved, but I think she’ll open up. Brynn and Erin’s frenemyship launched the show. Jessel is gonna give us family issues. Sai is the wild card. And Ubah is my personal fav so far, and I suspect she’ll really come into her own by season 2! 9.5/10, and I can’t wait for more,” a fourth fan shared.

“New #RHONY is giving fresh but classic Housewives vibes. Aspirational living, petty beef over played out restaurants and cheese platters, fashion. Okay, @Bravotv, you proved your point; you might know how to do this Housewives thing correctly,” another fan noted.

So, tell us: Did you enjoy the season 14 premiere of RHONY? Are you looking forward to the rest of the season?

The Real Housewives of New York airs on Sundays at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

VIDEO: A Brawl Between RHOP Cast Breaks Out While Filming Season 8

Lights, cameras, action! The claws recently came out while filming season 8 of RHOP as a shocking brawl broke out among the cast. Get all the deets!

TV Deets reports that an “all-out brawl” while filming season 8 of RHOP on July 13. It turns out that it wasn’t the RHOP cast that caused the drama. Instead, the blame belongs to friends of the Housewives!

Real Housewives of Potomac star Candiace Dillard found herself in the middle of Keiana Stewart and Deborah Williams’ “shocking” physical altercation at the launch party for Ashley Darby and Gizelle Bryant‘s activewear line.

“Deborah and Candiace had been talking s–t about each other all night,” a source close to production tells TV Deets. “Candiace was confronting Deborah about what she had been saying about Chris [Basset], and Keiana walked up and got herself involved.”

As RHOP fans know, Deborah appeared on season 7 of the Real Housewives of Potomac. She infamously, and incorrectly, claimed that both Chris Bassett and Eddie Osefo flirted with her at Karen Huger‘s spring fling party. Deborah is not set to appear on season 8 of the Real Housewives of Potomac in any official capacity. She was only at the party due to her friendship with Ashley.

Keiana, on the other hand, is set to join the RHOP season 8 cast as a friend of Wendy Osefo. Keiana reportedly threw the first punch, but it was Deborah, who got the last laugh.

“Deborah ate Keiana up,” the RHOP insider reveals. “Deborah definitely won.”

It also seems that Deborah and Keiana’s altercation wasn’t the only drama of the night. Candiace got into a heated war of words with Mia Thornton.

Two days after this event, the RHOP cast filmed the season 8 finale episode on Saturday, July 15. The event documented the unveiling of Potomac Housewives’ Monarch Magazine cover shoot. TV Deets reports that production wanted to keep the details of the cover shoot a secret, so attendees had to turn in their phones upon arrival. However, the photos from the Monarch Magazine spread will “leave fans talking,” according to a source.

Meanwhile, TMZ also released additional footage of the brawl between Deborah and Keianna. Check it out below!

The Real Housewives of Potomac will return to Bravo later this year.

Dolores Catania Claims There’s No Set Plan to begin Filming S14 of RHONJ in August

Not so fast! It seems that filming for season 14 of RHONJ may not be starting in August after all, at least according to star Dolores Catania!

Dolores Catania tells The U.S. Sun that she’s not sure reports that filming for season 14 of the Real Housewives of New Jersey will begin in August are 100% accurate.

According to the Bravoleb, there is no set plan for filming the next season of RHONJ while insisting that the cast has not been given a start date.

RHONJ’s start date for season 14 seems to be up in the air. It turns out even the Jersey Housewives are unsure of when filming will begin.

Dolores admits that she “thought” she “had [the summer] off,” noting that she will be traveling out of the country in August.

“To be honest with you, that’s not totally 100 percent true,” she said of the rumored August start date. “Yeah, it’s not 100 percent. We don’t know.”

Dolores notes that she will be in Ireland until mid-August.

“I’m going to Ireland. So if the show is starting, it’s without me right now,” she dished. “I’m going [at] the end of the month until the middle of August, so that’s where I’ll be.”

Meanwhile, Joe and Melissa Gorga are going to Capri and Portofino this summer. It’s unclear when they are going, but with July halfway over, it’s likely they are going towards the end of the month or early August. So it seems that a huge chunk of the Real Housewives of New Jersey cast won’t be around this summer since they previously believed that had the entire summer off.

As AllAboutTRH previously reported, the full cast from season 13 of RHONJ has been asked back for season 14 of the show. Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga, Margaret Josephs, Jennifer Aydin, Dolores Catania, Rachel Fuda, and Danielle Cabral have all been offered contracts and are expected to return for season 14. Jennifer Fessler and Jackie Goldschneider are also expected to return as friends of the Housewives.

Contracts have not been signed, but negotiations are underway. Stay tuned for more details as they emerge.

As always, stay glued to AllAboutTRH for the latest, greatest, and most exclusive Real Housewives of New Jersey tea on the internet!

Filming for season 14 of RHONJ will reportedly kick off in August.

RHOBH’s Erika Jayne Meets With Her Estranged Husband Tom Girardi’s Victims

by Lara Sophia
written by Lara Sophia

Is Erika Jayne trying to rehab her image? Seems so, as the RHOBH star recently met up with several victims of her estranged husband Tom Girardi.

Erika Jayne is attempting to make amends, according to Page Six. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills beauty met with multiple victims of her estranged husband, Tom Girardi, on Sunday in Los Angeles.

The victims were cheated out of settlement money for their various legal cases that were handled by Tom’s now-defunct law firm, Girardi Keese.

“I came here with an open heart to listen to what’s going on, hear what happened, and figure out how to be a part of how to move forward together in a way that’s beneficial for all victims,” Erika told Page Six.

An eyewitness says that Erika Jayne was dressed conservatively, in a pink floral blouse and black trousers, on Sunday as she arrived at the Valley Inn Restaurant in Los Angeles for a Paul’s Ice Cream event.

Kathy Ruigomez and Kimberly Archie founded the company. Archie is a former Girardi Keese employee, while Ruigomez is the mother of Joseph Ruigomez, who was injured in the San Bruno gas pipeline explosion, and had his $11 million dollar lawsuit settlement swindled by Tom Girardi. The Ruigomez family’s story was featured in Hulu’s 2021 documentary “The Housewife and the Hustler.” 

Not only did Erika Jayne speak with victims and former acquaintances of her estranged husband, but she also sat down for an on-camera interview with The Los Angeles Times.

“They looked very serious but engaged during their discussion,” an eyewitness said, noting that the Pretty Mess singer was in “good spirits.”

Erika also spoke with victims Josie Hernandez and Nancy Marston, who were also screwed over by Tom when it came to receiving their settlement money.

“I think we’re moving on, and I think that maybe we could help each other,” Marston explained to Page Six. “We can help some of the victims.”

Hernandez, on the other hand, applauded Erika Jayne for meeting with Tom’s victims.

“I think that it’s even difficult for some attorneys and people who prosecute these kind of cases to understand it. So I think it would be irrational to think Erika knew,” Hernandez said. “I never thought she stole the money or anything like that. My only thing was really just how it came across to the victims, and now this erases any of that obviously because she’s making a concerted effort to make the victims feel better.”

Since Tom’s alleged crimes came to light in 2020 and 2021, the Bravolebrity has denied having any knowledge about her husband’s misdeeds. Erika has continued to insist that she has “empathy” for Tom’s victims and “trusts” that they “will be taken care of.”

Tom allegedly embezzled more than $15 million from his clients. The once-famed attorney has Alzheimer’s and dementia and now lives in a memory care facility.

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.

Raquel Leviss Going Back to Birth Name After Receiving Intense Mental Health Treatment

written by Lara Sophia

Raquel Leviss is returning to her roots & we don’t mean her natural hair color. The Vanderpump Rules star is now going back to using her birth name.

TMZ reports that Raquel Leviss wants people to refer to her by her birth name, Rachel, moving forward.

The Vanderpump Rules star reportedly had an “epiphany” while seeking mental health treatment for the last several months.

Raquel Leviss “was very upset her haters” uncovered that her real name was Rachel and began to use it as a “weapon” amid Scandoval.

“Her therapists explained to her [that] her detractors had weaponized the name ‘Rachel’ to hurt her,” TMZ reported.

The Bravolebs therapists told her that “taking the name [Rachel] back and embracing it” would “neutralize” the haters and internet trolls.

While Raquel’s legal name has always remained Rachel, she began going by the name Racquel at a very young age. Friends and family “began calling her Raquel at a very early age, and the name stuck.”

Last week Raquel checked out of The Meadows in Wickenburg, Arizona, after receiving treatment there for the last two months.

Raquel Leviss reportedly spent $200,000 on her stay at the facility.

Since leaving treatment, Raquel has been staying with a friend as she prepares to return to Vanderpump Rules for season 11.

As we previously reported, the 28-year-old SURver is playing “hardball” with Bravo as she negotiates her contract for season 11 of Vanderpump Rules.

“She wants to get as much money as she possibly can, so she is playing hardball,” an insider told Page Six last week.

Pump Rules stars Ariana Madix, Tom Sandoval, Lala Kent, Tom Schwartz, Katie Maloney, Scheana Shay, and James Kennedy all resumed filming earlier this month.

Raquel has not seen any members of the Vanderpump Rules cast since they filmed the explosive season 10 reunion in March, which came just weeks after her months-long affair with Tom Sandoval was exposed.

Stay tuned for more on this developing story!

Vanderpump Rules will return to Bravo in 2024.
