It kinda looked like Erika said that too.

So I say, this I know: 1.Kathy held herself together wonderfully. 2. If there was anything of real value in those stupid Manila envelopes, we would have heard about it, at some level. 3. Rinna is gross for making this into what it became. If she GENUINELY cared, she would have approached the sisters privately to help resolve things. Rinna did a spectacular job of keeping Kathy’s name out of her mouth since the reunion! 🙄🙄🙄

THAT I KNOW

I swear, the other day I saw a Peanuts comic from the 60s—the character Franklin said he was shook about something and all I could think of was Rinna 🤣

What is with this show and celebrity tequila 🤣🤣

Yeah—I suppose in that context I could see some fiery words happening. Even so—and this isn’t an excuse—it’s nowhere near what Rinna is trying to make it sound like. It’s more like “bad judgment uttered ‘privately’ in the moment” versus “continued unhinged social media rampage of insults (…RINNA)”.

An interesting bit: ”According to Rinna, Hilton also called Crystal Kung Minkoff and Stracke, 51, “pieces of s–t” who should be “f–king fired” from the Bravo reality show.” I’m not arguing that Kathy is innocent (she said herself that she said some bad stuff)—but this part doesn’t even make sense. Isn’t she friends with Crystal, enough so to go over to her house and ask for (and receive) snacks? And what on earth would Sutton have done to her—I don’t remember any bad vibes there, and certainly not worthy of THAT level of vitriol. Going by all the reunion clips, it seems that Kathy’s anger is directed at Rinna.

I keep picturing this…

If Rinna’s position is secure…. well, that’s one fewer show I’ll be watching.

Every time I hear Diana talk about her lawyer, I think to myself: shades of OJ looking for the real killer… Anyway. That super set-up, phony conversation between Erika and Rinna in the dressing room really bugged me. Bravo is trying realllllllyyyy hard to get us to give them a pass, I guess? It’s gross. I don’t want Sourpuss Statler and Washed-Out Waldorf providing color commentary. Color me shocked—shocked!—that the Kathy stuff is in the third episode?

And Erika was “joking.” Ha, ha? And she can’t even blame the failure of her own joke on “British humor”…

I wonder if the winner will be required to refer to the earrings as the “Erika Jayne Girardi Diamonds” in perpetuity. Like the Hope Diamond or something.

Of course she hasn’t. She’d have to reflect on how things impacted people beyond her nuclear family.

I hate that I now have “Beat It” stuck in my head… This, THIS is what bugs me so much about Kyle, and what reminds me of the person I know. Claims to be your friend, but always defends and takes up for people who have more status and connections, even when they’re clearly in the wrong. OK, this, and the interruptions to “one up” your stories with her worse tale of woe. UGH, my stress level is rising… Remind me why I watch this? 🤣

Andy makes a lot of money off dramatic millennials, Gen Xers, and Boomers. That comment is a bit rich.

With all the Reno cocktail waitress outfits on display, Jamie Lee Curtis looked the chicest. (Lol) She was also super cool. Erika declaring she was over the questions in the first five minutes… ridiculous. In all honesty I’d rather sit there and listen to Dorit natter on than Rinna talk about her guardian bird or Diana spew her garbage “from quarantine”…

Admittedly I’ve never been much of a Kyle fan… it’s taken me a while to realize why, but it’s because I have a “Kyle” in my life that I’ve had to distance myself from. She’s not the worst—and even some of my “favorites” started showing worse traits over time—but I’ve never connected with her and I think all of this is why. I feel for her and her upbringing, but the way she acts is hard for me to watch.

Well, no, she probably couldn’t have walked away in that specific instance—but there are ways of managing it differently than she did. I know it’s easy for me to say “she should have done X Y or Z” but my main point is, I don’t think Kyle is completely un-responsible for the way she handles drama; it doesn’t just happen to her, she has a part in it.

I think Kyle thrives on the drama, truth be told, and that if she’s merely reacting to outside forces, I think it’s because she lets herself do so, for whatever reason. Some of us would have either shut someone like Rinna down, or just walked away from some of the conversations that she’s been involved in. To borrow one of Harry Hamlin’s psychology textbooks: I think she has an external locus of control, meaning that her actions are based on what’s happening around her, versus self directed. It’s part of what causes a victim mentality (for anyone, not just Kyle). Not that it’s easy to get out of that mindset, but walking away from drama and its instigators can be done. Easier in real life than reality TV, but still.

Hahahahahahhahahaha! Reality gold!

Maybe that’s why she had the deal with Depends: all the leaks… Like Marge Simpson and the Chanel suit she found at the outlet store 🤣

If Rinna was TRULY concerned about Kyle and how whatever Kathy said affected her, she would have talked to her privately and refused to discuss it publicly. She and Erika wouldn’t be making a bunch of panicked, defensive comments that attempted to (once again) push the “issue” and guilt back on whoever was questioning them. Thinking about it this way, it becomes even MORE suspect the way they pushed back at KYLE for talking about it. They did NOT act as though they were hurt by Kyle’s “baseless” accusations… they reacted like guilty people. Those conversations in the van were so ridiculous and staged and didn’t help their cases.

Do the Kardashians suffer from anything? Maybe she has that, too.

If this made Rinna susceptible to PTSD and cancer, perhaps the best thing for her to do is step away from the show. You know, for her health.

Maybe Vicki G will start a charity on Rinna’s behalf.
