She didn't reach out because, again, Garcelle has been mean about her. So why should Kyle reach out? I mean, I suspect that if it had even been Dorit, Kyle would have reached out because they do have something of a friendship. But Garcelle seems to have been gunning for Kyle during the season and definitely after - so why should Kyle make an extra effort to make Garcelle look good? I have to say, I absolutely understand that mindset. If someone has spent months trying to make me look bad, then I am not going to go out of my way to make them look good.
Whether or not she was trying to make Garcelle look like a deadbeat, I don't know. I think that is a valid criticism of Kyle's actions but on the other hand, I don't believe that Kyle thinks that Garcelle isn't good for the donation. I think that Kyle's actions came from a petty place, but I suspect it was more that she thought that this would momentarily make Garcelle look bad but not necessarily a deadbeat.
Because it's supposedly about the charity? You know the one Kyle was so concerned about receiving it's money that she waited until reunion so she could have ammunition rather than be responsible.
I get what you are saying about her motivation and aren't necessarily saying she's right. I'm simply flabbergasted by how everything that woman has done for the last couple of years highlights her vacuous hypocrisy.

Garcelle posted a video explaining what happened with the donation ... If Kyle was seriously so worried about it like others have said why wait 4/6 months to say anything why not call or text and ask hey did you forget about the donation? why hold onto it till a reunion as some gotca moment?
Because Kyle is a low down rotten hag?

Party of One for loving Hannah's crocheted jacket and Dorinda's matching pants. I looooooved them!
I grew up in the 70's, and I had the crocheted squares poncho that my mother knitted for me. We all did!
In recent years, I took up knitting and even joined a weekly knit/crochet group. I was shocked at how many 20-somethings are in the group, mostly crocheting.....yes, the large square patterns that their grandmothers crocheted!
If you watch "Young Sheldon", his mom is always crocheting that same pattern. I'm so glad it's making a comeback!
OK, hate on me y'all......I know, I'm alone in loving this! (I can't stand Dorinda and her pretentious daughter, and I'm so glad they're gone....but I die for those pants & jacket).
No hate, we love what we love and you like people looking like the back of a couch. ... I get it. 😉 i like the pattern too but it depends on the colors used.

There’s a college for pretty much everyone that wants one. Whether it’s starting with community college or the kind of private schools who will take on students who don’t need financial aid. Sonja seems the type who went to college rather than go directly to work and then “worked” on landing a rich man.
Luanne was a nurse. I'm not sure if she was an RN, but she has an advanced education.
I can see Luanne being genuinely attracted to the Count, he has that something about him quality and he was Eurowhatever with money. Yeah she was/is a social climber, but not because she didn't have an education/career.
Sonja on the other hand? She's been clear her attraction is either young stud or $$.

She also calls women the B-word. I don't get it. I wouldn't want a friend calling me that, even in jest.
It depends on the friend set and the person. I've had friends call me all sorts of things, if it's from someone I know uses bitch affectionately, and I know a few, I'm good. If someone uses bitch as a perjorative then no. It would not fly.

I have always heard granola type as describing someone who is into natural versus flashy. Depending on age, it couid also be aging hippie, earth mother type etc.
I have never thought it to be derogatory I just thought it was pretty descriptive of what at least superficially Leah’s mother is she doesn’t seem to be invested in all of the stuff that the other women do in order to appear younger than their ages. She doesn’t dye her hair she doesn’t wear excessive makeup if any. Her hair is in a natural style and she doesn’t have extensions like the housewives use. Her clothing isn’t overtly sexual. She presents as the antithesis of the Housewives.
Who really knows the dynamics of any family based on a few minutes of edited tape but Leah seems to be the spawn of a Melissa Gorga type. And who knows how badly Leah was acting out as a teenager in terms of being booted from the home at an early age That is an unusual move as more typically the parents will have the kids in treatment if some kind and don’t give up when they are that young unless they parents are really into a tough love type of regime
I think we can guess, at least a little, how she acted. I will never forget that an almost 40 year old woman literally rolled around on the ground kicking and screaming to get her way. If she scts like that now, I can only imagine how she acted during puberty, on drugs and alcohol.
All of these women love attention, otherwise they wouldn't be on a show like this. But I have yet to see any other woman be so, so childish and immature in her attention seeking endeavors.
It's not simply that Dorinda unleashed her inner hosebeast all season, or that the entire show was centered around one black out drunken incident after another, but watching Leah pout and prance her way through the season was the corn kernel in the shit sandwhich.
Everyone always gives Tinsley crap for being childish, which can be annoying, but at least she has manners. Leah is that todller who throws a tantrum, takes a dump on the floor, paints herself and the room in it, and then proudly dispays herself for attention. Screaming and crying when she doesn't get praised for her shit show.
Granola: I'm 47, my lifelong understanding of the word is that of an earthy person who probably smells of patchouli and weed, may be vegan, (perhaps) makes their own soap, uses a "family" washcloth" to whipe their butts, doesn't dye their hair or wear much if any makeup, and if a woman, dresses like they're still in 1978.

So, Bravo made money off of Dorinda's obnoxious behavior for years, and now it's not OK and they are leaking stories to make themselves sound noble for firing her? She's certainly a liability, but they don't care about apologies and her owning up to her behavior to other cast members.
They want to refresh the franchise and bring in younger cast members. They'll keep Luann, Leah, and probably Sonja because they believe viewers will keep tuning in to watch them.
Dorinda made money and got attention/fame for years from this. It was mutually beneficial. She eventually became too much of a liability and got fired. Dorinda is no victim in this. Dorinda did this to herself.
And when has she ever taken responsibility or owned up to anything? She still lies about the entire Jovani thing.

I agree. Denise also had major surgery while filming. Wasn't she still recovering when she held her BBQ? The BBQ where Denise was trying to play mediator between Kyle and Dorit over the most asinine argument, and Kyle started insulting Denise. The women were out to get Denise even before Denise had the audacity to ask them to quiet down in front of the kids.
Yes to all of this. And for the three thousandth time if someone kept talking about threesomes in front of my daughter, my 14 year old daughter, because Denise's daughter was 14 - after being asked not to, no matter if I'd been talking with my girlfriends earlier about what a freak I am, and then implied my daughter had threesomes at 14? I'd cut a bitch. But I don't think it's cool to attack and shame underage children about their supposed sexuality just because I don't like their mom. I have morals like that.

So now it’s Dublin vs. Smiley in the race. Odds are on Harry though since Slade is/was financially dependent on Gretchen (I think they are both broke, and maybe one of them needs to get a real job - but I digress..). Also, Harry actually has charm and Slade has ???
I thought Smiley was only with one other housewife? If that's the case, he is not in the smale class.

OMG this article -
http://www.irealhousewives.com/2020/08/leah-mcsweeney-wants-more-diversity-on.html
Some quotes:
“I have a lot of black friends, and I hear a lot of stories from them about racism and the s–t they have to deal with,” she told Page Six.
“I think it’s so hard for a lot of white people to understand and to even process it because it’s something we’re not used to dealing with,” she added. “I walk into a store, people think that I’m gonna shop my ass off because I’m white. They’re not thinking that I’m going to steal something or that I can’t afford something. That’s what my black friends have to deal with.”
McSweeney was, however, surprised when “RHOA” star Porsha Williams said that people once thought she was the dog walker. “I’ve never seen a dog walker look like Porsha, have you? I mean, she’s, like, very glamorous, very sexy. I don’t know what kind of dog walker looks like that.”JESUS CHRIST! Thank you, white lady for letting people know you have black friends, just so we know you are a GOOD ONE. And explaining how black people feel.
And her comment about Porsha - so we are not to judge people for how they look, and then she points out that she isn't a dog walker because she LOOKS too glamorous and sexy(?) to be a dog walker??? What about when she's not done up, then she can be mistaken for a dog walker? Also, not sure what is wrong with being a dog walker. Bottom line is she missed the WHOLE POINT Porsha was trying to make.
WTF is this CRAP, does she think she comes off well with this???
I read about this ahead of her starting, so I had warning, she was going to be awful.
The most telling thing is that she publically attacks him, lies about what he said, and then gets angry when he shows reciepts. Acting like the injured party. On top of calling him a racist for not liking her.

My son likes the YouTube channel "Odd1sOut." There's a video about how the quarantine is rotting the YouTuber's brain. He's been watching trash TV nonstop. The name of one TV show is "Rich People Being Awful."
So he watches Bravo too?

Gee....this sounds exactly like, ummm - I don't know - Brandi Glanville??
Brandi had plenty of time in this planned attack to prepare. She's also changed up her story. Even if I did believe they had sex, and it's not out of the realm of possibility, I absolutely do not believe Brandi's story surrounding it
IMO there is a huge underpinning of tittering homophobia in their response, and that alone makes me despise them.

I think Teddi's issue with Denise really is that she thinks Denise dislikes her, and Brandi confirmed that. And honestly, from Denise's own words, she seems to be correct. But Denise won't actually come out and say it to her face. And that's Denise's big problem - she can be visibly fuming, but will insist to everyone in front of her that she's fine and there's no problem. Andy Cohen really needs to throw Bethenny at her.
Denise's timeline re: Brandi is confusing, and probably shifty, but I think that they were probably both gossiping and bitching about the other women, and regardless of whoever said things first, Denise basically agreed with everything Brandi then told Kyle and Teddi. If she had just said "Hey, I was upset after Santa Barbara and vented things I was feeling in the moment, but that I don't really mean," it's possible the outcome would have been a bit different. But she initially acted like she'd never even think that Erika can be cold and she doesn't like Teddi, and where could this possibly be coming from?
I can't quite get a handle on Garcelle. In her interviews, she says she's cheering Denise on for standing up for herself. But in the moment, she won't look at Denise, and then she rushes outside, thus breaking Denise's rhythm and putting everyone else even more on edge. Plus, she has a thing for getting very intrusively personal with people she just doesn't know that well, and I find that off-putting. I go back to her confrontation with Kyle, saying that Kyle glances over her and stays very superficial. And honestly, I can't blame Kyle for wanting to stay on the surface, and not talk in depth about her finances and body issues.
That is me. I need time to think out, or preferably write out, a response to even know what I'm feeling and I don't like confrontation until I've internalized my thoughts, so I'll make nice in the moment.

To summarize how these bitches are going after Denise at the dinner - it's akin to the question "When did you stop beating your wife?" There will never be an answer that suits them that doesn't mean Denise is at fault (though I'm unsure what the actual transgression is). Kyle, Rinna and Teddi are clearly in the camp that is choosing to back Brandi's stories. And they are (Rinna especially) using the excuse that she isn't being honest and open and owning it. All the things Rinna is accusing Denise of, Rinna is the master of herself. She's such a cunt.
I think the issue is Kyle thinks she's HBIC and that Denise is supposed to worship at the alter of Kyle. Typical high school click crud.

First off, thank you both for engaging with me. I did not realize how much I missed debating things with human beings.
No, Teddi, Erika and Kyle do not react well in many situations. But they get called out on it by the audience.
And I actually like Denise. I just don’t feel sorry for her. I don’t feel sorry for Teddi, Erika and Kyle either when their crap comes to light. If they don’t want their private lives on TV, don’t do the show.
We all speculate so much on motivations. You can believe the best of people, or the worst of people. But you can’t know for sure, so too much pondering of motivations can drive you crazy.
Denise can believe Teddi is out to get her. Or she can believe Teddi is just trying to warn her. Or that Teddi succumbed to pressure (which seems to be what Denise actually believes). But it doesn’t change the fact that her real problem is with Brandi, does it?
I'm not going to lie, debating about something other than politics is a pure joy. Thank you as well.
I don't feel sorry for Denise. I just really hate unfair situations, no matter what the stakes are. And I don't like bullies. They infuriate me. This entire situation is unfair. And I know life is unfair, but I'd like an entertaining respite at times. And RH is not providing this.
What I'd be kicking myself over if I was one of the conspirarors is that Denise was well on her way to being unlikeable without interference. She was rude, snappish, and condenscending those first couple of episodes. I was thinking, wooh another side of DR. I'd watched her reality show, after her divorce, which painted her as the earth-mother-wonder-daughter, that she had a bunch of control over content with, so this was interesting.
Then Kyle, Erica, and Rinna concocted this mess. Now they look like the assholes a second year in a row. No one likes a bully.
The surprise for me is how Dorit has somehow managed to redeem herself this year, because all the whining and dog abandoning last year made me despise her. It's not that she's really likesble, but she can be funny and so far is one of the least offensive. I also like her over the top fashion.
Teddi, as usual, is a pawn.
G, because she's barely around and S because they cut so much of her real life, are non factors in my mind.

Yes, if you decide to make a living by being on a show like this, it is on you to handle yourself. If you can’t, find another way to support yourself and your family.
But then again, maybe what Denise is doing is working. Certainly a lot of people are on her side.
For me, personally, if I was at a dinner table and multiple women said that a mutual friend told them I was trashing them, and then I slept with her, I would first want to know exactly what this girl had said about me, word for word (This is where Denise lost me, saying none of it was true without even knowing or wanting to know what was said, even after she found out it was already on camera). Then I would thank them for bringing this to my attention, let them know that none of it was true because anything Issues I have with them, I would bring up with them one-on-one and not talk about them behind their back (to Denise’s credit, she did this). Finally, I would confront that person that was spreading lies about me and get them to apologize (If Denise does this, I will probably retract my current opinion.)
Pretty much every woman I know in real life would do something similar. To me, it seems like the natural response.
As to the motivations of the women who were reporting this to me? Who gives a shit? They are just the messengers. Denise’s real problem is Brandi, and that is who she should be dealing
Teddi, Erica, and Kyle then have reacted perfectly, every time shit goes down, when under stress. Oh they havent? I guess they should find other work then. Dorit actually, ... she handles these situations well.
All of this back and forth to justify not liking Denise. It's okay not to like her.

Here’s the thing. I think that, in real life, women are infinitely capable of handling confrontational situations where multiple people are against us. In our work, with our families and friends, we all face situations where multiple people disagree with us about something, and we calmly, patiently but determinedly bring these people around to our way of thinking.
But on this show, the women often overreact (Erika, Rinna with Kim Richards). Or they just kind of sulk and try to run away.
I think there was a way for Denise to handle that evening that would have left everyone convinced that Brandi is lying to get on the show.
One thing I will agree with Denise on. Lisa Rinna is a bad friend. I think if Rinna had given her a little heads up, a text, whatever, Denise would have been forewarned and probably handled it all much better.
So. You are condeming her for not knowing how to react in the moment when the other women orchastrated a gangup. That's your real problrm. Okay.

S10.E17: Reunion Part I
in The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills
I blame 70 percent of this on Andy and Bravo - they've had a hand in this from the beginning. It was shown immediatly by the stupidly dramatic breaking of the 4th wall in the first episode and made obvious by successive shennanigans throughout.
Vyle, Ericunt, Lipsa, and Basic Teddi all have pretty transparent and petty motivations for treating Denise as they are, but what's up with the Bravo facilitation and scripting? Did she promise Charlie or something and now they're angry?
