Jax Taylor’s Controversial Revelations Shake Vanderpump Rules

Jax Taylor is back doing what he does best – stirring the pot!

The Vanderpump Rules alum appeared on the March 22 episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen alongside his wife Brittany Cartwright to discuss the Scandoval rocking the Bravoverse. This is the first time couple has been back to the Bravo Clubhouse since being fired from Vanderpump Rules in 2020.

While the entire Bravoverse knows that Tom Sandoval cheated on Ariana Madix with their friend and co-star Raquel Leviss. The two engaged in a seven-month-long affair behind Ariana’s back. When Ariana discovered the affair earlier this month, she ended her nearly decade-long relationship with Tom.

Now, Jax claims that Tom’s affair with Raquel isn’t the only time Tom has cheated on Ariana during their nine-year relationship.

“Yes, 100 percent,” Jax said bluntly. “I told you I was there. Not only in the Miami situation — and that was week one of their relationship, by the way — but yeah, there’s been other times.”

“It doesn’t matter if he did it one or 10 times, he did it,” he notes as Brittany says she would have told Ariana about Tom’s cheating if she knew about it.

“I would have told Ariana if I knew those things,” Brittany interjected.

The former SUR bartender then doubled down on his claim that Tom cheated on Ariana “within the last couple of years.”

Jax and Brittany admit that over the past seven months, there were instances where they noticed how close Raquel and Tom had become but chalked it up to them being good friends. However, in hindsight, it all makes sense. Jax explains that he and Brittany were at a Labor Day party with Tom and Raquel. During the party, Ariana called to tell Tom her grandmother passed away or had fallen ill, yet he didn’t leave the party, claiming he couldn’t get an Uber.

As for whether or not Tom Schwartz knew about Sandoval’s affair with Raquel, Jax says he “100% knows, for a fact,” that Schwartz “knew for a while” about the affair.

While Brittany doesn’t believe that Tom and Raquel are in love, Jax believes Tom’s interest in Raquel has a lot to do with control.

“I think Ariana is a very strong, independent woman. I think it’s come to the point where he can’t control her, and he can control Raquel,” Jax said.

He also added that he knows that he “doesn’t have a leg to stand on” when it comes to condemning someone else for cheating, considering his past.

“It’s an awful thing what happened… I’ve been through this. My wife’s been through this,” he confesses.

Amid Jax and Brittany’s return to the Bravo clubhouse, their friend and former co-star Lala Kent rallied for them to return to Vanderpump Rules.

“Dear @bravotv, please put @brittany & @mrjaxtaylor on my TV again & again,” Lala wrote on her Instagram Story.

Vanderpump Rules Reunion: Raquel Leviss Sets the Record Straight

written by Lara Sophia

Raquel Leviss is speaking out!

The disgraced Vanderpump Rules star broke her silence on everything involving the Scandoval rocking the Bravoverse just ahead of filming the season ten reunion on March 23.

TMZ caught up with Raquel and peppered her with a bevy of questions regarding her affair with Tom Sandoval and the subsequent fallout with her Vanderpump Rules co-stars.

As we previously reported, Raquel and Tom engaged in a seven-month-long affair behind Ariana Madix‘s back. Ariana uncovered the affair earlier this month and ended her nine-year relationship with Tom as a result.

“[I am] good … I’m holding up okay. It’s been a little rough, but I’m hanging in there,” Raquel told TMZ on March 22. “I’ve been kinda off social media altogether.  I’ve been advised to do that. But it has been a lot, but I guess there’s consequences to my actions. I wasn’t really thinking things through too much. So here we are.”

According to Raquel, her relationship with Tom “started off as a friendship” but eventually “turned into something more.” All the details will be discussed at the season ten reunion.

When it comes to the current status of her and Tom’s relationship, the former pageant queen reveals they are “taking a break” as they figure out their future.

“I don’t know where our relationship is gonna be,” Raquel confessed. “We’re just trying to get through these next few steps and try to make amends, hear everybody out. I know a lot of people are angry, so I think just getting through these next few steps and seeing where it goes. We’re not putting a label on anything. We’re just kinda taking a break for now.”

After the news of her affair with Tom was uncovered, Raquel says she talked with Ariana on the phone and sent her an apology via text message.

“She didn’t receive it very well,” Raquel admitted.

As for her rumored showdown with Scheana Shay that turned physical, Raquel doubles down on her accusation that Scheana got assaulted her despite Scheana’s claims stating otherwise.

“Scheana knows what happened that night. I’m not gonna go into it much, but I do have a permanent scar on my eyebrow,” Raquel said.

Raquel also shut down claims that she used Tom Schwartz as a decoy to cover up her affair with Tom Sandoval.

“I genuinely had an interest in Tom Schwartz, and there was a genuine curiosity there, so it wasn’t a coverup,” the 28-year-old insisted.

Speaking of the rumor mill, Raquel also says that the rumors she, Tom, and Ariana had a threesome are “not true,” noting that she is “completely prepared to take accountability for [her] actions” at the reunion.

Heading into the season ten reunion, Raquel says she’s expecting to get attacked by several of her co-stars but feels Lala Kent‘s venom will be particularly harsh.

“She always has been aggressive towards me,“ Raquel said. “I think I’ve always kinda rubbed her the wrong way.”

Speaking of Lala, the Give Them Lala Beauty founder sent a warning shot to Raquel after she publicly announced her plans to attend the season ten reunion in person.

“Yes, I will be attending the reunion in person,” Raquel announced on March 22 via her Instagram Story.

Lala reposted Raquel’s story, adding, “we can’t wait to see you @raquelleviss,” along with the devil emoji.

Teddi Mellencamp’s Latest RHOBH Drama Unveiled

by Lara Sophia
written by Lara Sophia

Teddi Mellencamp sends a warning to current RHOBH fan favorites Garcelle Beauvais and Sutton Stracke.

The Bravo alum had some harsh words for Sutton and Garcelle on a recent episode of her and Tamra Judge‘s Two T’s in a Pod podcast.

According to Teddi, both current RHOBH stars need to buckle up for when fans turn on them, and they lose their status as “fan favorites.”

“You may want to reel in the ego a touch because every favorite falls,” Teddi quipped, adding that Garcelle and Sutton seek “validation” from their large fan base on social media.

Teddi notes that at one time, she was a “favorite,” but soon, the tides turned, and she became “hated”  by the viewers.

Meanwhile, RHOBH OG Kyle Richards recently reconnected with one of her fellow OGs.

The remaining RHOBH OG ran into fellow OG Camille Grammer at the dentist, of all places. The two chatted about their time doing Bravo’s Real Housewives spinoff, The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip. Kyle appeared on season one of the RHUGT when she, along with Melissa Gorga, Teresa Giudice, Ramona Singer, Luann de Lesseps, Kenya Moore, and Cynthia Bailey, went to Turks and Caicos.

As for Camille, she just wrapped filming the fourth installment of the RHUGT, which took the Housewives to Marrakech, Morocco. Season four of RHUGT stars Vicki Gunvalson, Caroline Mazno, Brandi Glanville, Alex McCord, Eva Marcille, Phaedra Parks, Gretchen Rossi, and Camille.

Kyle and Camille’s reunion was full of laughter and smiles at their mutual dentist, Dr. Apa’s office in Beverly Hills. The two swapped stories about their RHUGT co-stars’ crazy antics, specifically their all-night drinking and late-night trips to the kitchen.

In the video, Kyle jokes, “Camille, I swear I’m your friend. We both smile big,” as both noted that their run-in “wasn’t planned.”

See the clip of Kyle and Camille’s reunion below!

Kyle and Camille have had their fair share of drama over the years. Their issues started during season one of RHOBH when Camille alleged that Kyle said no one would ever want to be around her without her then-husband Kelsey Grammer. Kyle vehemently denied ever saying this. The two eventually worked through their issues and became good friends. However, their friendship hit a bump in the road during season nine of RHOBH when Camille returned to the show as a friend of the Housewives. The RHOBH cast took issue with Camille’s constant flip-flopping amid the group’s drama. Camille never really “owned” her behavior but blamed it on having a terrible year with her house burning down and losing one of her closest friends to cancer. She quickly jumped on the bandwagon and dubbed the Beverly Hills Housewives “mean girls.”

Despite this all, there seems to be no bad blood between Camille and Kyle, which we love to see. OGs unite!

RHOBH is expected to return for season 13 in mid-to-late 2023.

Thoughts on Teddi’s warning to Sutton and Garcelle? Would you like to see Camille back on RHOBH?

 Teddi warned Garcelle and Sutton to be prepared for when fans turn on them and they lose their status as “fan favorites.” She also mentioned that they seek validation from their large fan base on social media.

Jax Taylor’s Explosive Revelations: Unveiling the Truth Behind Tom Sandoval’s Alleged Infidelity

by Lara Sophia
written by Lara Sophia

Vanderpump Rules alum Jax Taylor has an interesting theory about why Tom Sandoval cheated on Ariana Madix with co-stars Raquel Leviss.

According to Jax, he was not surprised by the Scandoval that rocked the Bravoverse earlier this month. On March 3, the news broke that Tom cheated on Ariana with their good friend Raquel. Tom and Raquel engaged in a seven-month-long affair that started mid-summer 2022. When Ariana uncovered the affair, she ended her and Tom’s nearly decade-long relationship.

The former Bravoleb insists that he knew Tom would eventually cheat on Ariana; however, his wife, Brittany Cartwright, was shocked by the news.

“I got a text message. It said, ‘You were right all along,'” Jax tells PEOPLE. “It wasn’t shocking to me. I’ve known Tom Sandoval for 20 years, we grew up together. I just know his lifestyle. I know who he is, and I’ve said it many times. No one wanted to believe me.”

“It was with Raquel, right under their noses — that’s what’s so shocking,” Brittany adds.

While Jax admits he can’t condemn Tom for cheating considering his own past infidelities, he does have a theory about why Tom cheated with Raquel, of all people.

“There’s a reason why it’s Raquel. [It’s] because she can be controlled,” he explains. “Ariana’s a very strong, independent woman — that’s how Brittany is — but you can’t control her. And I think Raquel’s very easily influenced. I think he likes to be able to tell her what to do. I think she’s very codependent, and I think he preys on that. He can control her, and she’ll do whatever he says. And she’s a fangirl a little bit. That wasn’t happening with Ariana.”

Brittany says she “did not see” Raquel ever betraying Ariana like that.

“It’s just all bad,” Brittany says. “I feel terrible for Ariana having to go through this so publicly. I know that feeling. I feel for her big-time.”

Meanwhile, Jax also takes issues with the first apology Tom released on March 4. In the apology, Tom acknowledged that fans were disappointed in him but asked them not to take their anger out on his business or business partners. There was no mention of Ariana or any remorse for his actions.

“I’ve done my fair share of bad things, but where I have a problem is having your crisis PR team write you a message. You got to step down from your little pedestal for a minute. Stop making this about Tom Sandoval and making do better decisions. You should have called [Ariana] first. There’s just no empathy there,” Jax quips.

After continuing to get heat from the Bravoverse, Tom issued a second apology days later. In his second apology, Tom called himself “selfish,” claiming that he regrets the “reckless decisions that hurt somebody I love.”

“Because he didn’t say ‘I’m sorry’ to Ariana first, I think that’s what was not a good look,” Brittany points out.

Fans and members of the Pump Rules cast have wondered if Tom Schwartz knew about Tom’s affair with Raquel before it became public knowledge earlier this month. Jax believes Tom know about the cheating long before it came to light in the public.

“Schwartz has known,” Jax insists. “I talk to Schwartz all the time. He told me. I don’t know how long, but it’s been at least a couple [of] months. Again, this is a controlling thing. He controls Schwartz. One can’t be without the other. They’re not good separate; they’re only good together.”

Brittany admits she also has heard that Schwartz “found out recently, before it dropped.”

However, Jax puts all the blame on Tom Sandoval, especially if he put Schwartz in a position to lie for him.

“I think Schwartz is a good guy,” Jax says. “He’s not going to rat on his friends. Sandoval’s being very selfish. He shouldn’t have put Tom in that position.”

The Kentucky native says the whole cheating scandal is “a really hard situation.”

“Sandoval should have just broke up with Ariana if he was going to do that,” she adds before noting that she’s heard gossip that Tom wants to be in a real relationship with Raquel moving forward.

“When you get to a certain point, you think you have this diva mentality where you’re just not going to get in trouble, and you’re not going to get caught,” Jax notes. “He’s gotten to that point where he’s [thinking], ‘I can’t be touched. I can do whatever I want.’ And it caught up with him.”

As for their friendships with the Vanderpump Rules cast, Jax and Brittany say they are still close with many of their former cast members despite no longer being a part of the hit Bravo show.

“There’s times and events where I saw them together, and it just didn’t even click until now,” Jax says of being at events with both Tom and Raquel over the past year. “We saw them Labor Day at our friend’s house. They were together. But I wouldn’t have thought anything until this came up.”

Jax says he’s questioned Tom’s character for years, but now he has to own all his bad behavior and man up for the sake of his career and future.

“I don’t want to say I told you so,” he says. “I’ve been down this road. It’s a scary, dark place where he is right now, but he put himself there. He’s got to be man enough to own it and give Ariana her space.”

Brittany adds, “Hopefully, Tom will learn from all this.”

The couple wraps the interview up by making it clear that they “would definitely” be up to making an appearance on Pump Rules this season or next season.

“Whether it’s that show or another show,” Brittany says, “we’re ready for some reality TV back in our lives.”

Until Bravo gives them the call, though, the couple will re-live their reality TV glory days on their new podcast, When Reality Hits, which premieres on PodcastOne March 28.

Vanderpump Rules airs on Wednesdays at 9 pm on Bravo.

Thoughts on Jax’s comments? Sound off below!

According to Jax Taylor, Tom cheated with Raquel because he believed she could be easily controlled, unlike Ariana who is a strong and independent woman.

Jax Taylor claims that Tom Schwartz knew about the cheating for at least a couple of months before it became public knowledge.

Yes, Jax and Brittany say they are still close with many of their former cast members despite no longer being a part of the show.

Dolores Catania Admits She’s ‘Afraid’ About the Upcoming RHONJ Reunion Amid Teresa Giudice & Melissa Gorga’s New Feud

by Lara Sophia
written by Lara Sophia

The upcoming RHONJ reunion is going to be a wild ride for Bravo fans and the New Jersey Housewives alike as Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga duke it out in their most intense reunion showdown ever and spice added by Dolores Catania.

Because of the current feud between Melissa and Teresa, their co-star Dolores Catania admits that she’s not looking forward to attending the reunion. In fact, Dolores says she’s “afraid” about what will go down between the sisters-in-law after their most recent fallout in August 2022.

“On a good day, we have anxiety about the reunion,” Dolores tells HollywoodLife. “Anxiety is one thing, [but] I’m actually afraid.”

The RHONJ cast has been divided since long before season 13 premiered on Bravo in February 2022. This divide among the cast began when Joe and Melissa Gorga‘s decision to skip Teresa’s wedding to Louie Ruelas after a big fight between the sisters-in-law and their men at the season 13 finale party.

“I think that this [new feud] was a culmination of years of buildup, and it all came to a head, unfortunately, right before [Teresa’s] wedding. And we just wish that that didn’t happen,” Dolores said.

The fight, which will air on Bravo later this season, started over a rumor that Melissa cheated on Joe. Teresa and Jennifer Aydin learned about the rumor before the season 12 reunion from Margaret Josephs‘ former best friend Laura Lee Jensen. The tea is that the rumor came to light at the finale party, and all hell broke loose between the Giudices and Gorgas. However, a source close to RHONJ previously told AllAboutTRH that Louie gave Joe a heads-up about the rumor before filming for season 13 commenced.

On top of that, Margaret recently revealed that the entire RHONJ cast knew about the rumor before the season 12 reunion.

“She met with them a year ago,” Marge told E! News in February about her former friend’s meeting with Jennifer and Teresa. “She met with them before the last reunion – it wasn’t during the season. It was funny [that] she and Jennifer held it. I knew [they knew].”

“They tried to bring it up last reunion [which] I believe [is] comical because they couldn’t. We all knew Dolores, Melissa, and I, and we cut them off,” she added.

See the clip below!

Meanwhile, the bad blood between Teresa and Melissa has been so bad since they wrapped filming for season 13 that the RHONJ panel at Bravo 2022 had to be split into two parts so Melissa and Teresa could be kept apart.

The upcoming season 13 reunion will be the first time Melissa and Teresa will be face-to-face since their spat at the finale party in August.

While it’s clear where Melissa and Teresa will go from here, Dolores isn’t even sure they can be in the same room with each other without causing chaos.

“All of us on the show — let’s face it — have to cohabitate with each other to an extent, right? Me and Jennifer [Aydin] had to make up. You have to move on from things to an extent and kind of live together — we travel the world together. We spend every day together. We do vacations together — short trips [like at the] Jersey Shore. We’re staying in the same houses. We’re at the same parties. Something has to give here. Something. To what extent? I don’t know.”

Dolores also tells Yahoo’s In The Know that she found herself in a sticky situation while filming season 13 of RHONJ because she’s longtime friends with both Teresa and the Gorgas.

“There’s so much hurt going on here, and there’s so much behind-the-scenes going on. And I think it’s nastier and uglier than it’s ever been.”

As for why she hasn’t taken a side like some of her RHONJ castmates, Dolores says, “So now it’s coming to the point where it hasn’t been easy amongst the women for them to not feel some type of way about me that I’m not jumping on either side.”

Dolores adds that her goal is to remain loyal to both parties.

“But not now and not ever do I let somebody else dictate how I handle things,” she continued. “It’s never been easy to not pick a side because of what people say to me. And to be honest, I don’t really care what someone thinks or what someone says. And that’s how I maintain it.”

Ultimately, Dolores believes that it is time for Teresa and the Gorgas to part ways for good until they can find peace and stop feuding.

“I just think it’s time for them to really part ways,” Dolores said on the February 7 episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. “I don’t want that… but if there’s no peace in their life being together, then I think it’s time.”

The Real Housewives of New Jersey airs on Tuesdays at 9 pm on Bravo.

Lauren Manzo: A Glimpse into Her Family Life with Husband Vito Scalia

Lauren Manzo is giving Bravo fans a rare glimpse into family life with her husband Vito Scalia.

On Monday, the Real Housewives of New Jersey alum shared a snap of her, Vito, and their daughter Marchesa ‘Markie’ Scalia on her Instagram Story.

In the post, the three celebrated Vito’s 36th birthday at dinner. Vito and Lauren clinked their classes with white wine and an espresso martini, while Markie opted to celebrate with a soda.

Lauren’S Social Media
Lauren’S Social Media

While fans can only see Vito’s arm and shirt in the post, it’s the first sighting of him on Lauren’s social media in many years.

In fact, when AllAboutTRH posted about Lauren’s recent 50-pound weight loss on our Instagram, many fans wondered if Lauren and Vito were still married.

AllAboutTRH can confirm that Lauren and Vito are still happily married; they just chose to keep their marriage and the majority of their family life very private.

Lauren and Vito will be married eight years in July after tying the knot in July 2015. The couple began dating in 2009 after knowing each other for four years. The two met thanks to Lauren’s older brother, Albie Manzo, who is Vito’s best friend and college roommate.

Shortly after celebrating their one-year wedding anniversary, Lauren and Vito purchased their first home. Lauren opened up about her first home to Bravo’s The Daily Dish in August 2016.

Lauren said:

“The new house is great. It’s going really great. I’m surprised at how much of a neat freak I am, although it’s only been a couple [of] weeks. We’re happy there, and I find that I’m alone a lot ’cause [Vito] works so much, so I do still see my mom a lot. We’ll have dinner and things like that. I’m not very good at decorating, so I’m kind of just like [to my mom], decorate [and] do whatever you want. Sometimes she’ll be like, ‘Oh, do you like this?’ And I’ll be like, ‘No.’ Or she’ll show me something and be like, ‘Do you like this?’ And I’m like, ‘I don’t know; whatever you think.’ But if I absolutely hate it, I’ll be like, ‘Absolutely not. I hate that.” 

Lauren and Vito share a six-year-old daughter, Markie, who is often seen on Lauren and her mother, Caroline Manzo‘s Instagram accounts. Makie was born in February 2017.

In the early days of Lauren and Vito’s marriage, the Manzo’d With Children star often complained on social media about being “alone” all the time while Vito was busy working long hours.

On Snapchat, Lauren often complained about cooking for one, eating dinner alone, and “spending way too much time alone.”

In another post, Lauren wrote about making “dinner for 1. On my couch. again.”

Back in 2019, Caroline spoke about the couple on her son Albie’s Dear Albie podcast. The RHONJ OG shot down any rumors that Lauren and Vito had split and explained why fans rarely see the couple together on social media.

“Hey, spoiler, Lauren and Vito are still very much married. Everybody seems [to ask], ‘[Are] Lauren and Vito married?’ They are very much married. Lauren just doesn’t post a lot because she doesn’t want to hear your bulls–t. Plain and simple. We deal with a lot of bulls–t; she doesn’t want to hear it.”

Caroline later appeared on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen in August 2020, where she further confirmed that life is good for Lauren and Vito.

“The Manzo family is alive and well and happy. We’re growing and expanding. Lauren and Vito and, of course, [their 3-year-old daughter] Markie are doing well and great… Vito Scalia and his deli and his restaurant are still there. Lauren Manzo and her salons are still there.”

RHONJ airs on Tuesdays at 9 pm on Bravo.

RHONJ Recap: Drama Unveiled

by Lara Sophia
written by Lara Sophia

This week’s RHONJ recap episode focuses on Danielle Cabral and Rachel Fuda shopping for Melissa and Joe Gorga’s luau party at their shore house in Tom’s River, NJ. The RHONJ recap highlights the excitement and preparations for this extravagant event.

As the ladies discuss their weekend plans at the shore, Rachel asks Danielle about her intense conversation with Joe at the charity softball game. Danielle explains it was an emotional chat about feuding with a sibling. Joe told her to never give up trying to reconcile with her brother which is advice Rachel supports. Despite being appreciative of the advice, Danielle says she has to protect herself, hinting that her situation is a little different than Joe and Teresa Giudice’s sibling drama. However, Danielle believes there is hope for Teresa and Joe’s relationship.    

The conversation shifts to Jennifer Aydin and Teresa’s warning about Margaret Josephs being a better friend than an enemy. The ladies aren’t sure what to believe, but Danielle admits she’s wary of Margaret, especially after hearing that her best friend Laura Lee Jensen says she keeps an arsenal of dirt on all the ladies to use whenever she wants – point in case exposing Bill Aydin’s affair last season.

Next up, Teresa and Jennifer meet up to get gifts for Teresa’s bridal party. Before the conversation switches to the group’s weekend down the shore, Teresa says she wants to wear classic diamond studs for her wedding, which Jennifer shuts down, saying she can be simple every other day but not on her wedding. As for going down the shore, Teresa admits she’s hurt Joe and Melissa didn’t invite her and Louie to stay at their shore house. Jennifer points out that it’s another instance of them siding with Margaret over Teresa. The OG Housewife agrees, adding that she doesn’t understand how they are mad Melissa’s family isn’t invited to her wedding when they won’t even invite her and Louie to stay at their shore house. Both agree that Margaret must have dirt on both Joe and Melissa.

The ladies and their hubby’s all get ready to head to the shore.

At the Aydins’ house, Bill and Jennifer discuss their recent therapy session as they pack. Jennifer notes how Bill was silent for most of the session. Bill insists he was quiet to avoid saying “hurtful and inconsiderate things.” However, Jennifer isn’t buying it and explains that she and Bill don’t talk enough. Instead, they skirt around the issues and pretend everything is fine when it is clearly not.

The group finally arrives at the shore with Jennifer showing off her and Bill’s new townhouse down the shore, which is next to the boardwalk. Teresa and Danielle are staying with Jen and Bill. Melissa and Joe, on the other hand, will be hosting Margaret and Joe and Jackie and Evan Goldschenider, while Jen Fessler and Dolores Catania will be staying with Rachel Fuda at her shore house.

As everyone gets settled, Margaret tells Melissa that Teresa invited Marge Sr to her wedding at the charity softball game. This news shocks Melissa since her mom isn’t even invited to the wedding. Back at the Aydin’s, Teresa reveals that she’s never stayed overnight at Joe and Melissa’s shore house, noting that Gia asked to stay there once, and Melissa said ‘No.’ Danielle and Jennifer are gobsmacked by Teresa’s claim. Then at Casa Gorga, the group starts discussing Joe’s conversation with Danielle at the softball game. Joe says the rift has to be over more than just Instagram,,and Jackie agrees, saying she think Danielle is leaving out a huge piece of the puzzle. Everyone agrees with Jackie’s claim that Danielle is holding back on information about the feud that will make her look bad.

It’s finally time for Melissa and Joe’s luau party, and everyone is ready to party. As the party starts, the shots start flowing, which means the shade will start flying very soon. The drama starts with Marge peppering Rachel to learn if Teresa really warned the newbies about her. Rachel confirms it’s true, leading Marge to make it known she will have to address that will Teresa.

Rachel then spills that when shopping with Danielle, the mom of two claimed that she heard Marge is locked and ready with her arsenal of dirt on everyone. Marge denies the claim and insists she’s not judgmental like Danielle, Teresa, and Jennifer claim.

Turns out there’s also more fun drama brewing between the men. Joe shares his plans to initiate John Fuda into the group with Frank Catania and Louie. The Grow With Gorga founder says he has to get John back after he brought Depends to guys’ night. So what does Joe have in store for John? Wax. Hopefully, he just plans to wax his chest or something and not a more private party – but you never know with these guys!

Meanwhile, Marge is still talking about Teresa and Jennifer’s outlandish claims that she has an arsenal of tea on all the ladies, yet now she’s bringing Melissa into the conversation. Melissa clearly has no clue what an arsenal is, and Marge teases that Melissa and Teresa are more alike than they know.

The shots are flowing, and Teresa finally moseyed over to where Marge, Jen F, Jackie, and Rachel are hanging out to get a drink. The ladies are chatting when Jen F says she’s still waiting for Rachel’s not-so-nice side to come out, saying that so far, she’s only acted like a “sweet little angel.” Teresa agrees with Jen F, but Jackie insists they would have already seen that side of Rachel if that was the case. Marge takes the opportunity to question Teresa about her warning to the newbies. Teresa says she doesn’t recall saying anything negative about Marge. She goes on to accuse Rachel of trying to start drama between her and Marge; however, Rachel insists that’s not the case and that she’s “straight up. No BS.” Rachel claims that she’s just telling Margaret what Teresa said however,, Teresa insists she just gave them a heads up that if you get Marge’s bad side she’s “ruthless.” This upsets Marge, who then accuses Teresa of “undermining her character.” Teresa then insists that her reconciliation with Marge is “genuine”; she notes that “if anyone pushed the wrong button on any of us, we would fight back.”

There’s a break in the drama when the group watches the hula dancers. A wasted Bill joins the dancers, which Marge is embarrassed by, but it’s actually cute and fun. Dolores and Frank have a conversation, and Frank says he’s upset Dolores isn’t staying at his shore house. He also thinks Paulie needs to be better at hanging with the guys and him. Dolores says she doesn’t feel bad for Frank because he’s got Brittany and admits Paulie was supposed to come down the shore which is why she didn’t stay at Frank’s house because it would have been strange for her man.

Teresa and Louie tell some of the ladies (Marge, Jen F, Rachel, and Dolores) they are excited about the wedding, which is four weeks away. Jen F brings up the fact that earlier, they talked with Melissa about her mom not being invited to the wedding, which Jen F thinks has to be an “oversight.” Teresa makes it clear that’s not an oversight, stating they have a “history,” and she will leave it at that.

As for the history, Teresa explains in her confessional:

“I guess I’ll be honest, what happened 10 years ago is I got busy, and I guess they got jealous. [Melissa]’s mother and sisters were writing stuff about me on social media. I know my mother would never write about anybody on social media, so I always just kept my distance after that. You know, I respected them. I’m the type like, I’ll forgive, but I never forget.”

Jen F says she thinks this snub may cause a bigger wedge between Teresa, Joe, and Melissa. Teresa says if she invited Melissa’s mom, she’d have to invite her sisters too, and so on. However, Dolores and Marge don’t agree with Marge noting that “in Joe’s eyes, Donna Marco is part of the family.” Louie chimes in, revealing that he spoke to Melissa’s mom today and apologized for her not being invited to the wedding. This news shocks Teresa, but she sees that Louie is coming from a good place but admits she wishes Joe just came to her with his concerns instead of creating drama. The rest of the ladies think Louie’s move is a little odd, but he explains that he doesn’t have a 10-20 year history with the Marco family like Teresa does.

Meanwhile, in Joe Gorga’s world, he’s getting ready to initiate John into the group as he goes to heat up the wax. Yikes.  The guys are wasted, like slurring so badly. Joe can barely put a sentence together when he announces his plans to wax John’s chest. John takes the waxing like a champ but gets to the point where he has had enough torture.

If that wasn’t enough chaos, Jackie approaches a very drunk Jen A. asking what it would take for her to truly mend fences with Margaret. She claims that Marge was hurt that Jennifer continues to bad mouth her despite them making up at last year’s reunion. Jennifer says making up doesn’t mean they are “besties” and that Marge “did something that was really hurtful” to her and her children. She goes on to explain that her youngest daughter Olivia has suffered severe trauma because of Margaret’s unearthing Bill’s affair. Jackie explains that she understands where Jen is coming from because her daughter was worried she and Evan were going to split when unfounded infidelity claims about Evan came out two seasons ago. Jennifer, who is again super drunk, then starts opening up to Jackie about her and Bill’s marriage issues. Not good. Thankfully, Jackie seems to have empathy for Jennifer’s pain.

The drama never ends in Jersey. The party and the drinking are still going strong. Jennifer A joes with Dolores and Danielle that she’s going to go finger-bang Bill’s butthole. Not an image I need to picture. Hopefully, Jen was just joking but to each their own. Then Danielle overhears Jackie talking shit about her to Melissa, Marge, Jen F, and some of the other ladies. Jackie says she sees that Danielle can be fun but notes she feels there’s a nasty side to the RHONJ newbie.

The demoted Housewife says Danielle is lying about the story about why she doesn’t speak to her brother. Jackie claims Danielle is hiding something she doesn’t want to reveal the truth because it will make her look bad, and Marge agrees that it’s more than “stupid, petty, Instagram” posts. Teresa notes that Italians hold grudges, while Melissa adds that the whole thing is “sad.”

Danielle is growing more and more upset hearing her name being dropped by Jackie and Marge. Instead of throwing fists, Danielle walks away to chat with her husband on the dock. The mom of two says she feels like it’s high school all over again. As they chat, Melissa and Joe approach the couple to see how they are doing. Danielle explains why she’s upset and encourages them to discuss their issues with her directly.

Melissa decides to stir the pot by telling Danielle that the group feels they are missing something when it comes to the fallout with her brother. Danielle says she is pissed and that all she wants to do is rage on the ladies right now. She admits she doesn’t like her character being questioned. Instead of approaching the ladies, Danielle decides to leave the party, telling Teresa and Jennifer, she’s “done” with the “catty bullsh-t.” The hot-tempered side of Danielle really comes out. I’m getting some old-school Teresa vibes from her in this instance – love it!

The episode ends with Danielle telling Teresa and Jennifer that she’s not someone the other ladies want to mess with, and you can tell by the look on Tre and Jen’s faces that they believe her.

Teddi Mellencamp Addresses Death Threats Over Scandoval Joke

by Lara Sophia
written by Lara Sophia

Teddi Mellencamp wants the Bravoverse to stop being so uncool.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum slams the death threats she has received after making a joke about the Scandoval drama on Vanderpump Rules.

The 41-year-old recently appeared on Melissa Gorga’s On Display podcast to discuss Tom Sandoval cheating on Ariana Madix with their good friend and co-star Raquel Leviss.

On the podcast, Teddi joked that Lisa Vanderpump paid Raquel to have an affair with Tom in order to create drama on Vanderpump Rules and give the show a bump in ratings.

“She probably paid Raquel to do this,” Teddi quipped.

Now, Teddi insists she was joking while speaking out about the death threats she has received as a result of her comment.

“Clearly I was making a joke and I’m being eviscerated for making a joke, which wasn’t even being reported correctly, because everyone conveniently leaves out I said ‘probably’ and was laughing,” Teddi told Entertainment Tonight.

“I love Bravo fans, I think how passionate they are is obviously why Two Ts is so successful, but it feels like my words will continue to get twisted and when people will come at you and say, ‘I wish you weren’t alive, I wish you died!'”

“They get brutal with even the words they say. ‘You’re a waste of c**,'” the former Bravoleb shares. “If somebody wants to come onto my page and be like, ‘Listen, I don’t think your joke is funny.’ You know what? You’re entitled to that opinion. And you know what? I can look back and listen to it and go, OK, maybe I pushed the boundaries here. I can be reflective if you’re coming to me in some way that is logical. If you’re saying my mother was a dumb woman to ever get pregnant with me because I’m disgusting on this earth? I don’t know if you really have a leg to stand on there. I’m not really taking your feedback.” 

The All-In accountability coach is no stranger to having drama with LVP fans as she battled it out with them on social media amid her fallout with the West Hollywood restaurateur over “puppy gate.”

However, Teddi believes the death threats are over the top and unwarranted especially over a clickbait comment that was clearly a joke.

“I just don’t get why it turns so dark. Do I think that she’s pulling out $20 bills and paying Raquel for this drama? No! Like, please, guys.” 

“If we’re gonna really dig into it, anybody on a reality show is paid to cause drama. I wasn’t [really] saying that she was paid to cause an affair, but that is what anybody on a reality show is doing. So, even the outrage if I wasn’t joking?” 

As for LVP, she simply tweeted that Teddi’s accusation was “fake news.”

Despite all the drama, Teddi admits she’s happy that Vanderpump Rules is doing so well and wants to the show to succeed for many reasons.

“I truly want to say, I’m happy that Vanderpump Rules is doing well,” Teddi explains. “I love [the production company] Evolution. I love a lot of the cast on Vanderpump Rules. I don’t have it out for this woman. I made a joke! Maybe not a good joke — I’m not in charge of how great my humor is — but it’s just taken such life and not represented accurately and everybody treating it as if I said a factual statement, and it just feeds into the online hate and that’s just the part that’s a bummer.”

Yet, Teddi can’t help but call out the double standard in the Bravoverse. On the March 8 episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, LVP told viewers to stop attacking Raquel and Tom but teased that they could continue going after her former RHOBH co-stars Kyle Richards and Lisa Rinna.

LVP didn’t receive any blowback for her comment which Teddi believes is a double standard.

“Do I need to watch what I say? Yeah, but it’s just, to me it’s a bummer, because people can laugh at a joke that she says that’s clearly, like, she was opening up other people to come for two other people that are on that same network. I’m really not coming for Lisa Vanderpump in any way. I’m talking about her show! Clearly, I don’t have an issue, because people who really don’t like somebody refuse to speak about them. I’m not doing that. I’m happy to talk about it.”

Teddi concludes by noting that she doesn’t take any of threats against her seriously but thinks fans need to think before they make a threat or post a comment that could hurt someone.

“I think that people, their favorite thing to say is, ‘Oh, Teddi, you’re just being thirsty. But this is supposed to be the fun part. If you don’t listen to the whole thing, why are you so angry about it? And if you do listen to it, do your research. Take a breath before making a comment that could ultimately hurt somebody. Agree with me, or disagree with me. Think I’m funny, or think I’m annoying. Have an opinion, but you don’t need to go to that level.”

She adds:

“I’m not delusional, but it’s not necessary. I only speak on it because I don’t want this to keep happening. Like, as a viewer of Housewives now, I don’t want this to happen to [cast members who go against ‘fan-favorites’] and then not give us the full potential they possibly have because they’re being beaten down by the fans.” 

Vanderpump Rules airs on Wednesdays at 9 pm on Bravo.

Is Teddi Mellencamp facing unjustified backlash for her joke about Vanderpump Rules drama?

 Teddi joked that Lisa Vanderpump paid Raquel to have an affair with Tom in order to create drama on Vanderpump Rules and boost ratings.

Teddi received death threats because some people took her joke about Lisa Vanderpump paying Raquel to have an affair with Tom too seriously and reacted with extreme hostility.

Teddi insists that she was joking and expresses her disappointment with the dark and hateful response she received. She believes that people should think before making threats or hurtful comments.

“Ozempic is a brand of a semaglutide, which is a peptide, I’m not going to say, one of them is a version of a semaglutide but my doctor does his own mixture, one is for your muscle mass to maintain muscle mass, one is for joints, whatever ails you, so his is more of a wellness thing, mine is a big combination that I’ve been doing since April of 2022.”

Margaret says she does use her peloton and go on walks but she is not a gym person. She also said she was not going to lose any more weight.

“I wanted to come back into a world where everyone around me was eating and loving food and enjoying life.
