RealHousewife

Thank you and thank you. I agree with Gina that Shannon repeatedly bringing up helping her wasn't very nice and what Shannon said when she was drunk was in poor taste. BUT, Shannon is not responsible for anything more! Shannon has issues of her own, but Gina joining a reality show and putting her family business on TV, her DUI, Matt's cheating and DV, none of that has to do with Shannon.

How cool! I think Gina looks tall and super pretty on the show, so I can imagine that she stands out a lot in person. Thank you or sharing with us.

That was tough to watch. I really hope Shannon is doing okay. It seems like she leans on alcohol when she's down.

lol I actually like Tamra for the most part when I listen to two Ts. It's so odd getting into RHOC AFTER listening to her podcast. She takes the shenanigans too far.

Tamra is no friend to Jenn. I think Ryan is someone who should stay single. I get the concerns, but enough is enough. First of all, I don't think Tamra has the close friendship with Jenn the way she did with Vicki to be so in her business. I could be wrong, but that's my impression from how she treats Jenn. Secondly, while Ryan is obviously a womanizer, I don't think he's Brooks bad. Brooks wasn't simply a player, he was creepy towards Vicki's own daughter and faked cancer. That's beyond being a fuck boy. I can see Ryan breaking Jenn's heart, but I don't think we've heard anything about him that suggests serious danger. Maybe Jenn is the type of person where cheating isn't the end of the world to her. Some people fall in love, and they can't picture their lives without the person who hurt them. I don't think cheating is anything I could get over, but I won't tell others how to live their lives. It reminds me a bit of what Rinna pulled with Denise. Oh, thank you for clarifying that! I was surprised because it sounded out of character for Heather to be so cruel. I thought the other thing was blown out of proportion by Emily too. I don't think it was a great idea for Heather to comment on her chest, but I can see Heather thinking she's being complimentary toward Emily having "nice, big boobs" or whatever. Emily was so insulted you would have thought Heather suggested she had grandma boobs or something. Just saw this post and 100% agree about Heather. I admit, I am a Heather fan. I'm not always on her side. There have been instances I've thought she was hard on others (Shannon for one), but I like that she has a class about her and isn't ever vicious. Regarding Emily and body positivity, I think you can absolutely be body positive and want to lose weight. I think being body positive doesn't mean you only love your body larger or smaller. It means we should all try to love ourselves as we are, even if we do want to get into better shape. My concern with Emily's weight loss is I read she used Ozempic and liposuction. I'm not necessarily 100% against either. I know some people really struggle losing weight with diet and exercise alone, but I am concerned about the safety of weight loss drugs and weight loss procedures. I obviously don't know details about Emily's health, nor am I doctor. But there are people who aren't the smallest who are healthy as can be. Full of energy, no diabetes, cholesterol, high blood pressure, no issues at all. I think if you're a healthy person who is active and eats healthy, you would love your body enough not to risk serious side effects just to be skinny.

I also get bummed when regulars disappear. I always hope they're alright and just got busy. If you're someone whose posts I regularly like and get a new name for some reason, please message me to let me know! There was someone who did that awhile back (not revealing who it was), and I really appreciated that she considered me her virtual friend and said hello. I knew to keep an eye out for her posts. :) Aw you're a sweetie and most people here are nice, but I've experienced when someone has been uh strong with me shall we say. It makes me sad if someone left because they felt unwelcome. I think sometimes people don't realize how harsh they can be and forget the person whose posts they're picking apart could very well be a kid, someone from a totally different generation, culture, etc. I guess it's asking a lot to make a forum feel like a safe space for everyone. I just try to appreciate all the kind folks and not let the occasional not so kind person get to me. I don't know what people get from being mean to strangers on the internet. I guess they can't possibly be living happy lives, not that it's an excuse. When I'm sad I might vent here, but I'd never want to hurt anyone's feelings, not intentionally.

I'm struggling more being single the older I get. My family is small. I love my sister but can only handle her in small doses due to her immaturity and temper. Most of my friends have their own partners/kids. Just gets so lonely. I really want to find someone this year. Universe, please send me a kindhearted, respectful guy.

Monica reminds me a bit of Kelly Dodd with the cruel comments she makes about the other women’s looks. With the likes of Jen Shah and Mary, Monica isn’t the worst, but she is too mean girl for my tastes.

I believe Dorit about not having as much work done as people say. She always had a beautiful face imo. I would totally go to whoever does her Botox and filler. She doesn’t have that frozen or overly plumped look many women. Erika and Kyle both had great work too. I guess these ladies go to the best.

Seriously! I wonder what Emily's in-laws think. That moment was icky by anyone's standards, but most of the Mormons and Persians I know are conservative. The woman has a law license as well. It's not like her whole life is being a trashy reality star.

That's a good point. I think Vanderpump is more likable and charming, but actions speak louder than words. I can't keep up with all the Bravolebrity lawsuits, but I tend to be suspicious of the exceptionally wealthy. They're often screwing over employees, clients, customers, etc. The Bravo Docket typically does an episode if there is something to a lawsuit in Bravo world though, and I don't think I've come across one against Lisa/Ken. I could be wrong. I do really like how philanthropic Lisa is, but that doesn't mean she is automatically a generous or even fair employer.

I stopped taking calls from unknown numbers due to all the spammers. If it's important, I figure I'll get a voicemail an/or a text. I agree it's still annoying to get spam calls.

Seriously, what's with Tamra's girls gone wild schtick? Kyle's splits got to be old, but at least she kept her clothes on.

I don't know. Men and boys are weird. I'm approaching 40. I've had teenagers yell sexual innuendo at me. Tamra isn't a spring chicken, but I'm sure still gets attention being an attractive fit blonde. I agree Tamra bringing up all this years later on camera isn't cool. She clearly doesn't genuinely care about Jenn. At this point, I think it's cruel she tells her friend that her man wanted to f*** her. I remember when she screamed bloody murder and said we'd "never see her again" after Lizzie allegedly said Tamra was just jealous Eddie said he'd either want to f*** or marry Lizzie when they played the stupid marry, f, kill game. Jenn has horrible taste in men, but she seems like a nice woman. The other ladies need to back off unless they truly care about her. I see Heather's point with Gina and her boyfriend. If I had a boyfriend who constantly cried and was triggered by things that reminded them of their ex, I'd feel like a consolation prize/therapist. I don't blame Gina for not being fully over it. She experienced a great deal of trauma between the cheating and the abuse. But I do think she should limit how much she vents to Travis.

Not an expert here, but my impression is that there is indeed a difference. I had a friend from work who sold Avon years ago. She would let people know once, and she would never bring it up again. I have no issue with that. My sister was loosely friends with a girl who promoted herself as a makeup artist and said she'd love to give my sister a free makeover for her birthday. My sister brought me along, and of course, this chick didn't do anything but talk about Mary Kay and try to sell products. I don't think the products were outrageously expensive or anything, but still an icky experience. Now with Anyway, I've read so many horror stories where people lose thousands of dollars. Some of the people at the top may make great money, but I don't know how they can sleep at night when the people they recruit lose money. I can see a good person giving the company a chance not knowing what they're getting themselves into, but once you're deep into it, how do you not know? The girl I know who swears up and down she's not a pushy salesperson is quick to suggest others should "start their own business" with her. She randomly brings up Amway products and insists they're such good quality. I'm sorry, but if I want to save, I'm buying CoverGirl. If I want to splurge, perhaps I'll treat myself to some Charlotte Tilbury. Why the heck would I be interested in this Artistry brand I never heard about until now? Don't know a single other friend, family member, coworker, makeup artist, or beauty influencer who uses it. And not interested in the Nutrilite either. If someone wants to sell some reasonably priced products for a side hustle to make money, more power to you. It's not for me, but I can see it as an ethical way to make money so long as you don't mislead people into situations where they feel pressure to purchase stuff they don't want. Amway just seems to be the worst. There are lot of YouTube videos and podcasts about it. They seem to prey on people who are vulnerable and desperate to make money. Even if the company did have some good products, I do not want to support the sleaze. I tend to avoid all similar businesses at all costs, but I'm not entirely opposed to purchasing a Mary Kay eye pencil or makeup remover. I just wouldn't buy anything from someone who is misleading about it. You casually let me know you sell something? Okay, no problem. I'll think about it. You don't even say what the heck it is you do but pretend to be a makeup artist or give free facials or something just to get me there to buy stuff, nope.

Dorit has a killer figure, but I agree the implants are too big for such a skinny lady. Some small-framed women naturally have a decent amount of breast tissue, but my guess is Dorit may have tried to go from an A or B to DD or something. It remains me of Megan Fox. I don't think implants generally look good when you go up more than two cup sizes, and that includes going to someone super skilled and pricy like a Dr. Garth Fisher in Beverly Hills. Erika's implants looked really nice when she had more weight on her.

Agree. Ryan is not serious partner material for any good woman. For real! For Gina to suddenly leave in tears, you would think she just found out her boyfriend cheated on her. I know infidelity is painful, but Jenn's and Ryan's stuff has nothing to due with her. It reminded me of how triggered Brandi was by Eileen Davidson. I like Shane. I want to put him in my pocket. He's a cute, little fellow and funny. Seriously. Jenn did nothing to those women to deserve a pile-on. Good point! I've never cheated on anyone, and I would leave if someone cheated on me. I get that affairs cause a lot of pain. BUT, you are right that Gina's mess-up could have easily killed someone. No one is perfect, so perhaps she of all people should give Jenn some grace over a situation that only hurt her ex and family.

Same. He’s adorkable. I really can’t picture Crystal using the n word, especially after all the grief she gave Sutton over what was nothing but an awkward conversation at the worst. Dorit used to be messy as heck as a newer Housewife, but it’s true she hasn’t been “engaged” for seasons now.

Maybe she was trying to channel Teresa.

I thought she was younger for some reason. I guess she looks and acts younger than her age.

I'm currently on season 6. Between flirting with married men and body shaming other women, Kenya doesn't come across as a girl's girl at all. I get the impression she is a little too aware of how pretty she is. But she is definitely entertaining with her antics.

Oh boy, this reminds me of when fake Kat Williams hurt the real Dave Chappelle's feelings.

Is that a real account?! Crystal doesn’t normally go in hard on anyone.

Yes, Crystal's beautiful children and sweet husband >>> Housewives.

Aw I wish her well. She is probably too normal to be on the show longterm. I hope we still have Garcelle and Sutton.
