In this AllAboutTRH episode, we dive into the latest from The Real Housewives of Orange County and Miami, starting with OC, where the group’s attempt to freeze out Katie falls flat—and we unpack why their argument doesn’t hold up. We also discuss Shannon Beador’s reaction and what it reveals about the group dynamic. Then it’s off to Miami, where tensions are high and the cold shoulder seems to be making the rounds again—this time aimed at Guerdy. Is the group reaching, or is there more beneath the surface? Plus, we talk about how Stephanie’s surprisingly deep Housewives knowledge is showing up, despite being the new kid on the block.
Scheana Shay says her real-life pain was used as reality TV plot fodder, and she’s pointing the finger squarely at Lisa Vanderpump. But LVP is having none of it.
In her new memoir My Good Side, Vanderpump Rules star Scheana Shay accuses the Bravo matriarch of gaslighting her for over a decade and using her 2006 affair with Eddie Cibrian as a storyline, all while pretending to be shocked on camera.
Shay claims Lisa always knew the truth, yet acted blindsided during a now-notorious 2013 Real Housewives of Beverly Hills episode, where Lisa introduced her to Cibrian’s ex-wife, Brandi Glanville.
But Vanderpump isn’t playing defense, in fact, she’s barely paying attention.
When TMZ caught up with her in Beverly Hills earlier this week, she didn’t mince words:
“I don’t care what she says,” Vanderpump said bluntly. “I’m more concerned about Ozzy Osbourne dying, that’s the saddest thing. Important things are what matter to me, not her bullst.”**
Despite Lisa’s dismissal, Shay’s memoir is gaining serious traction, it’s currently a bestseller on Amazon, and her claims are reigniting old Bravo-era drama fans can’t resist revisiting.
Scheana also revealed in her memoir that she had romantic encounters with several celebrities, including Jesse Metcalfe, Eddie Cibrian, John Mayer, Shemar Moore, Josh Hopkins, Shane West, Jesse McCartney, JC Chasez, Adrian Grenier, Ricardo Chavira, and William Tell, as well as a couple of actors from The Notebook. She also mentioned hooking up with some NFL, NBA, and MLB players.
In the ever-dramatic world of reality television, few names stir the pot quite like Jax Taylor. But his recent and abrupt departure from The Valley has left not just fans, but also his castmates, and even his ex Brittany Cartwright, reeling with surprise.
On July 16, Taylor, 46, announced he would be “stepping away” from the show ahead of its third season. His statement, shared with Variety, cited deeply personal reasons. “After an incredibly challenging year and many honest conversations with my team and producers,” Taylor said, “Right now, my focus needs to be on my sobriety, my mental health, and coparenting relationship. Taking this time is necessary for me to become the best version of myself — especially for our son, Cruz.”
But despite the intention behind the statement, the execution left much to be desired — especially for those closest to him. A source told PEOPLE that the cast of The Valley was “absolutely blindsided” by the news. “Most of the cast were notified that filming was going to begin at the end of the summer, and they expected Jax would be a part of the new season because — even as lately as yesterday — he hadn’t said otherwise. This is a huge surprise.”
And perhaps no one was more surprised — or more candid — than Brittany Cartwright herself.
Appearing on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on July 22, Cartwright, 36, confirmed she had minimal warning before Taylor’s announcement. “I found out the night before,” she revealed. “And I was like, that was a great decision. By everyone.”
But the conversation quickly turned personal, shedding light on just how strained her relationship with Taylor has become since their separation. When asked to describe where things stand between them, Cartwright didn’t hold back: “Horrible,” she said plainly. “There’s no trust whatsoever.”
She went on to say that Taylor isn’t contributing financially to their shared responsibilities — namely, the mortgage on their former home or expenses for their 4-year-old son, Cruz. “He’s still not in therapy,” she added.
As for Taylor’s claims about sobriety — he told Cohen in a prior appearance that he was “201 days sober” and undergoing regular drug testing — Cartwright expressed skepticism. “He’s sober from some things, but not all things,” she said. “I’ll just say that.”
While Taylor’s decision to step away from The Valley was framed as a personal reset, the fallout suggests a deeper rift — not only with the show’s cast but within his own family. As the cameras prepare to roll for season 3, they’ll do so without one of the show’s most polarizing figures — and with plenty of real-life drama still playing out off-screen.
When a long-standing Hollywood marriage hits turbulence, the headlines often follow—but what happens after the spotlight fades is where the real story begins. For Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards and real estate mogul Mauricio Umansky, the past two years have marked a quiet evolution.
After nearly 30 years of marriage, the couple confirmed their separation—an emotional shift that played out gradually, not with tabloid drama, but with a shared sense of care and intention.
While Mauricio has since moved out of their family home in Encino, their relationship hasn’t dissolved—it’s simply changed form. The two remain committed to raising their daughters together and continue to show up for their family in meaningful ways.
During an Amazon Live stream, Kyle offered a rare and heartfelt update on where things stand today. Her tone was honest, calm, and even proud.
“I’m really proud of how we are navigating through this separation,” she said. “We’re great friends, and we love our daughters. We built a beautiful family, and it’s nice to know that even though we’re separated, we can keep it that way.”
She also shared how this dynamic has been a source of strength and support for their daughters—Alexia, Sophia, and Portia, as well as Kyle’s eldest daughter, Farrah Brittany Aldjufrie, from her first marriage.
“It’s really been helpful to my daughters, too, to get through this,” she added.
While many might expect tension or bitterness, Kyle and Mauricio have chosen something different: friendship, respect, and a continued commitment to family.
Emily Simpson is no stranger to sharing her opinions on Real Housewives of Orange County castmates. Whether it’s about personal choices or cast drama, Emily isn’t shy about speaking up. But when it comes to fashion, it’s not typically her lane to criticize, which makes her recent comments about Gretchen Rossi’s wardrobe all the more noteworthy.
Emily recently described co-star Gretchen Rossi’s outfits as “costumes,” pointing out one look that “looks very ‘Little House on the Prairie.’ Like, I thought she was gonna get in a covered wagon and leave the argument.” It’s the kind of bold style Gretchen rocks with confidence, regardless of what anyone else thinks.
Another standout look was described by Emily as “a mix between Hamburglar and Sherlock Holmes.” While these remarks sound like shade, Emily laughs that she and Gretchen have a playful rapport about it telling Page Six, “I say these things to her. Like, we joke. She’ll even make jokes when she puts something on and she’s like, ‘I knew Emily was going to say something.’ Like, you bet I am! It’s fun.”
Interestingly, while Emily isn’t sold on Gretchen’s fashion, she has nothing but admiration for her signature platinum blonde hair.
“It does look healthy. She does have good blond [hair]. You never can see regrowth. I don’t understand that! She must color it weekly because I don’t know how you don’t get any kind of regrowth.” Even so, she can’t resist a little playful jab: “And it doesn’t move! I make fun of it. I call it, like, a helmet. It’s like a Lego, like you just put the hair on. You just wake up, put your Lego hair on all day and it doesn’t move.”
Still, Emily admits, “I think it looks good.”
Thoughts on what Emily had to say?

Kelly Dodd Sparks Controversy Reenacting Troubling RHOBH Incident Amid Abuse Allegations
Reality TV star Kelly Dodd has stirred controversy after sharing a video on her Instagram page where she and her husband, Rick Leventhal, reenacted a tense moment from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills that has recently come back into the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.
The short clip shows Rick aggressively pulling Kelly up a flight of stairs, mimicking a scene in which Aaron Phypers threatened to “crush” Denise Richards’ hand.
What makes this video especially controversial is its timing. Just days before Kelly Dodd’s post, Denise Richards, 54, publicly accused her fiancé, Aaron Phypers, 52, of repeated physical abuse. Denise filed for a restraining order against Aaron, alleging a disturbing pattern of violence that includes choking, slapping, and even threats to kill her. The reality star has painted a harrowing picture of a toxic and dangerous relationship, sharing that the abuse was frequent and left her feeling terrified for her safety.
In light of these serious allegations, many have found Kelly’s decision to joke about the incident deeply insensitive. The original moment, which aired on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, saw Aaron Phypers threatening to crush Denise’s hand in a frightening display of intimidation and anger. Now, with those events resurfacing amidst Denise’s legal actions, the video Kelly and her husband posted feels especially tone-deaf.
In her caption, Kelly wrote, “Denise and Aaron for Halloween??” — a comment that many fans perceived as mocking the very real and frightening ordeal Denise is going through. The backlash was swift, with followers criticizing Kelly for making light of a situation involving domestic abuse.
Denise Richards has been open about the impact of the abuse on her life and has sought legal protection to keep Aaron away. Her case has sparked conversations about the importance of recognizing and taking domestic violence seriously, especially when it happens in the public eye.
Fresh off her victory on The Traitors Season 3, Dolores Catania is already setting her sights on her next big challenge, and it involves sequins, spray tans, and salsa.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey star recently opened up about what she did with her share of the $204,300 prize money (hint: it’s heartwarming) and revealed what’s next on her reality TV bucket list. Spoiler alert: Dolores is dreaming of Dancing With the Stars.
“I miss The Traitors every day of my life,” Dolores said in a recent interview with US weekly. “It was the most amazing experience of my entire life — you have no idea.” But she’s not one to dwell on the past. With RHONJ on hiatus, she’s ready for her next chapter, and ballroom dancing is calling her name.
“Dancing With the Stars, I’m here for it. That’s my dream, to be a ballroom dancer,” Dolores shared. “My mom has wanted me to be a ballroom dancer my whole life, so I would like to do that. I know it’s really hard and challenging.”
Dolores also gave a nod to another intense competition series, Special Forces, calling it a challenge she’s “insane to even put into the universe.”
But let’s be honest — if anyone can tackle emotional mind games in a Scottish castle and then twirl flawlessly on the dance floor, it’s Dolores Catania.
And in true Dolores fashion, she’s not just in it for the spotlight. She revealed she donated her prize money to several animal shelters she supports, proving once again that her heart is just as big as her personality.
Even with The Real Housewives of New Jersey on pause, the off-screen drama between Teresa Giudice and Margaret Josephs continues to heat up. After reports surfaced earlier this year about Teresa and her husband, Luis “Louie” Ruelas, owing millions in state taxes, Margaret wasted no time weighing in — again.
At a recent Bella magazine event, Margaret Josephs took the opportunity to publicly comment on Teresa’s financial matters, even offering her unsolicited “crisis PR” advice after Teresa walked out of a televised interview when pressed about the issue. While Teresa has remained mostly quiet and focused on resolving the situation, Margaret’s remarks have raised eyebrows, especially among fans who’ve noticed a pattern: Margaret tends to make headlines only when she’s talking about Teresa
Earlier this year, Teresa and Louie were reported to owe over $3 million in state taxes — a figure that quickly made headlines. However, the couple has already taken steps toward resolving the issue. Teresa paid off a $303,889 tax lien, while Louie addressed a separate $163,523 lien from late 2024. Instead of making a public spectacle, they’ve quietly worked to handle the situation — showing that actions speak louder than interviews.
But Margaret had plenty to say. “I wish she would’ve made better choices in her partner,” she said at the event, adding that she hopes Louie “helps get out of everything.” When asked whether Louie had been a positive force in Teresa’s life, her blunt reply — “Obviously not” — turned heads.
Margaret didn’t stop there. She criticized Teresa’s decision to end her interview abruptly when questioned about the tax issues. “I would love to have taught her crisis PR,” she said, suggesting that Teresa should have handled the situation differently. Yet fans familiar with Margaret’s track record can’t help but notice how often her name ends up in headlines only when she’s talking about Teresa.
Despite Margaret’s ongoing commentary, Teresa has kept a relatively low profile in recent weeks, focusing on her family and personal responsibilities. The mom of four has not made an official statement about the tax matter but appears to be taking it seriously and privately.
Margaret, on the other hand, admitted she hasn’t spoken to Teresa since the RHONJ Season 14 finale and doesn’t expect their relationship to recover. “I think our ship has sailed,” she told the Daily Mail. Maybe so — but some fans are starting to think Margaret is still rowing circles around it.
After several seasons on The Real Housewives of Orange County, Gina Kirschenheiter is making headlines, not for her storyline, but for threatening to walk away from the show altogether. The twist? A lot of fans aren’t exactly rushing to stop her.
Known for playing it safe and rarely being the center of any season-defining moments, Gina has long been viewed by viewers as someone who coasts in the background while others carry the weight of the show. So when she recently suggested she might leave RHOC if Katie Ginella returns, many fans were quick to ask: Would anyone really notice?
Appearing on Housewives Nightcap, Gina made it clear she’s not interested in sharing screen time with Katie. “I mean I will say I haven’t seen her in a very long time and I have no plans to see her,” she said. “And I will say that I am honestly at the point, well it’s above my pay grade but if she was to be part of this group next year, I would seriously question if I wanted to be.”
It was a statement that came off more like a veiled ultimatum than anything rooted in real conflict. And for someone whose presence on the show has often been described as underwhelming at best, it felt out of place—if not downright ironic.
At the heart of the backlash is a growing sentiment among the RHOC fanbase: Gina has simply run her course. With forgettable storylines, minimal personal evolution, and little chemistry with the cast, her threat to leave feels less like a power move and more like a long-overdue possibility.
If Gina’s most dramatic contribution to the season is announcing she might quit over someone else’s return, it might just be time to take her up on it—and let RHOC bring in women who are actually ready to do the job.
