It's hilarious that these yearbooks verify each woman's true age -

I've thought this about Lisa for a long time. She treats her family like accessories.- 107 replies

RHoSLC in the Media: So Salty!

I saw that interview a couple years ago. I think that's the aunt and aunt's husband. Or the mother and stepdaddy or boyfriend. -

Many jurisdictions do this. Otherwise drunks would waltz out the door without charges or consequences. -

I bet Karen has tried to approach the Traitors show. That's been the comeback path for some housewives. -

The most interesting thing is that production is allowing the perceived takedown to play out. I don't think they will get rid of Kyle - they're just desperate for new storylines. The cast is falling into line. The loss of production protection is probably driving Kyle into a frenzy behind the scenes - she's obsessive about slights. I'm going to be watching the news to see how a recent court ruling affects reality TV, because the ruling on another show is that the cast are employees (not independent contr4actors). Could have wide-ranging affect on schedule, salaries, on-set behaviors... -

My PCP says half the population becomes prediabetic as it ages. In many cases it does not move into diabetes. He cautions sensible diet and exercise.

She knows she will be skewered constantly if she remains on camera and in the public eye. She's a coward. She will try to leverage her Bravo career into something else. Gotta pay for the plastic surgery and bad wigs. -
RHoP In The Media: What's Going Down in the DMV
pasdetrois replied to a topic in The Real Housewives Of Potomac
The Daily Mail quotes an insider as saying Karen cannot return to RHOP until she cleans up her act. Buried in the story are reports that Ray coached Karen to lie to the police during the investigation at the scene: "Someone ran you off the road" and "You only had a couple of beers." Ray wasn't there during the accident, and I'm pretty sure neither is true. That's impeding the investigation, and enabling. I think Karen will serve some time - say a weekend - and be required to stay sober, attend AA, perhaps do community service, and have a breathalyzer installed on her vehicles. Perhaps suspend her license. -
Erika Girardi/Erika Jayne: Let them eat cake

Clearly a sugar daddy is footing the bills. Nothing makes sense otherwise. He may even be the owner or on the title. Perhaps a corporation owns the property.- 5.2k replies

My family in MS and LA devoted their professional careers to public schools, which were devastated by residents' decisions to "white flight" to private schools after integration. As the public snidely bashed southern, rural public schools over the years, all kinds of scams were launched via the private school phenomenon. Some viewed it as an opportunity to make money and pay the (unqualified) administrators (friends and family) high salaries and benefits. Or the schools' administrators didn't understand how difficult it would be to keep their doors open. The children suffer the consequences.

I've felt this way for several seasons, and I stopped watching. The 5 are "on" 24/7, and some of them aren't good at it. often their supposed supportive remarks are heavily scripted, insincere and there is a ton of filler. I think Jeremiah, who is well-known and popular, was brought in to bring the ratings back up. His affect is more like the original 5. The shenanigans and meaningless expense seem tone-deaf given how some of these folks are struggling financially. The fake flattery and tears do not compensate for this gap. They are promoting themselves as reality TV product. THIS. I was practically shouting at the TV. These girls can do more to help their mom. I do love Karamo when he's relaxed with the group and shouting out affirmations They are often funny.
