S12.E14: Shameless Not Ruthless

[Pi237]

Hold up-Kyle pays a person just to pick up her dogs’ poop? I love these rich neighborhood jobs:  giving sound baths, throwing demons out of people using charades, picking up dog poop, inappropriately leaning against rich women while pushing their legs apart, the always popular ‘psychic.’   They need to make a tv show about these employees where they dish on their clients and then laugh and laugh while counting their money.

Consequence from who?

I have no issue with the belief that Rinna wants grace but didn't extend that grace to Vanderpump.  My issue is that some of the people who are pointing that out are not giving grace to Rinna.  People who are mocking/ridiculing her grief have no leg to stand on.  

For example, let's say Rinna slapped Harry.  If a person said it's wrong to slap people and then slapped Rinna because she slapped Harry, that person would be a hypocrite.  

If people want to be shitty to Rinna because they think she was shitty to others then just own it and do it, but people can't do it under the guise of a moral high ground.

I haven’t seen anyone here mocking or ridiculing her grief. No doubt she is grieving, no doubt. The loss of a mother can be an overwhelming grief. None of us know how close or distant Rinna and Lois were, but it’s still a painful loss either way.

Some posters however, myself included, are cynical about Rinna’s tendency to ‘use’ her pain when it suits her. Using grief for a storyline (her Insta post makes that a very clear intention), or to shift negative opinions about oneself, can get in the way of charitable feelings from others.

Rinna gives one soap opera scene after another.  It’s all she’s got.

I think it's gross that people are mocking Rinna's grief and making jokes about birds.  It's understandable not to like someone and/or their behavior, but clearly she loved her mother and is dealing with grief.  Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.  What if people on your facebooks, twitters and instagrams said nasty things about your grief just because they don't like you?

Karma is a bitch. Rinna is evil. And let us not forget she was pushing a new lipstick I "honor" of Lois. Please.

Rinna can be very unkind herself, so it is petty rich that she expects only kindness in her time of need.  It's hard to not notice that, and I think it's actually wrong not to point it out.  If someone is doing something wrong, it's a good thing to let them know, so they can try to do better in the future.  Maybe this can be a learning experience for Rinna.

I agree with all of this, except the last sentence.  Rinna has shown to the world that she has no capacity for using her abysmal behavior  as “a learning experience”.  At least in the sense of learning to be a better friend, coworker, human being.  She has been a conniving bitch to at least one cast member every season.  Ask Kim, Yolanda, Eileen, Denise, Teddie, Sutton or LVP what they think Rinna has learned from her shitty actions towards them.  

The only thing Rinna is capable of learning is how much lower she can sink to maintain her lizard-like existence on TV.  I think she’d toss her two wannabe daughters off a bridge during a photo shoot if it meant she could have the camera all to herself.

Maybe we should lobby Andy and Bravo to put Lisa on pause for 2 years.  She deserves time off to get herself together. And we deserve a break from her "grief."

I’m thinking that she may indeed be afraid that her time on the show might be ending, and she’s trying to hang on by the skin of her claws because this is basically all she has. That’s the only explanation I can think of for her behavior this season — trying in any way, shape, or form to stay “relevant” by getting herself noticed. But making an ass out of herself week after week is about the quickest way OUT of the show, if you ask me.

I’m sure on some level she is genuinely grieving Lois. I don’t think she’s that much of a soulless creature. But what she’s doing here is a parody of grief, and using that as an excuse to continue with her general shittiness.

Kyle’s got the “shit-stirrer” gig down better than Lisa ever will, as does Erika with the trash factor. So what is the point of Lisa being on anymore, really? Face it — when she’s not on, does anybody miss her?

I also don’t think Rinna is reading this board and crying into her pillow, with real or fake tears.

If Rinna couldn't get through a LA Times article because it was "too long", there's no way in heck she's reading any of this board.

Haven't watched yet once again, which is sad, because I was always impatient to do so before. This show has jumped the shark like Fonzi did way back in '77. I'm not anxious to see performative grief when I lost my own mom 4 years ago. (Btw, I never behaved deplorably toward anyone, even during the darkest days). Big hugs to everyone that has shared their stories of losing a family member(s) here. I feel for you so very much.

 Rinna can suck it. Remember, she is the same person who offered a free 'I Love Lois' lipstick mere days after Lois passed away. She is ice cold.
 

 Also, as someone else has pointed out, she is the same person who recently claimed she is only playing a character on the show; that she's just acting. So which is it? Am I supposed to have sympathy for the real authentic person who is on a reality show, or am I supposed to understand she is, by her own words, simply playing a role like in a soap?

Kyle, Erika, and Rinna have got to go. It's time. 

The gaslighting, the shit-stirring, the lying, the intentional mean girl behavior to keep their little circle tight and push out the women who won't play their little games...

I know the Housewives shows are messy, but RHOBH lacks integrity (with the exception of a few women, none of which are in the Fox Force). 

I honestly think Dorit is, and could be, more enjoyable/palatable away from that toxic group. 

The behavior is just tired. None of them are held accountable, least of all by Andy at the reunions, and they just laugh off their shitty behavior like starting a fight in front of outside company isn't poor manners. 

All I'm saying is, if Bravo can shutter RHONY after one terrible season (when all they had to do was dump Leah and Eboni), then it is more than time for RHOBH to cut the cancers. They are no longer entertaining, if they ever really were. (and I've had Kyle's sniper-from-the-side bullshit clocked back in season 1. if nothing else at least more people are starting to see her for who she really is.)

Teeth have replaced accents as a class indicator.  There is no way that anyone with bad teeth has any kind of upwards social mobility in contemporary culture.

"The homeless" are not a homogenous herd, and while some may be into that milk-the-rubes mentality, others really want a way out—which means a job.  Very few employers want to hire workers with visibly bad teeth

Oral health is an important part of overall health.  Poor dental health can cause gum disease which can cause tooth loss and can be linked to heart disease, cancer, and sometimes pneumonia.  

Sure the cosmetic part is nice but more importantly access to oral health care is as important as any other health care.  And of course it affects how a person speaks, eats, confidence, etc. 

[Starlight925]

Often, dentists who participate in charities such as these offer lifetime dental care for free.  So it's not just about a one-time smile makeover.  Wonder if this dentist offered that?

Who stands next to the dental chair while their spouse's teeth are being cleaned?  Unless the patient is a child.  Oh, wait....asked, answered.

What kind of high-profile cosmetic dentist does his own cleanings anyway?  No hygienist?

The name of that charity is so awful.  I just can’t get it out of my head.  It’s offensive and insulting IMO.  There wasn’t a single person on the board of this outfit that could come up with a better name??  My friend and I came up with a few in 10 minutes!  My favorite one is “Dignity Through Dentistry”.

I’d love to see a UGT with Rinna, Kyle, Erika, Eboni and Leah. That could be real fun. Along with that we could have Garcelle (greatest of all time in my opinion), Sutton and Crystal sitting on a sofa commenting on the action. Maybe LVP could join them.

[MyMaui]

Lisa's drama and then her dramatic crying scene was so fake.  I think it would even be too fake for the soaps.  If that sobbing was so real there would be tears and swollen eyes.  It's as if the director said cut and she ended the scene.  

Kyle is the biggest instigator there is and she thought it was so funny too.  Maybe be more focused on your hubby immediately saying Dorita in the convo with him and PK.   I can just see her tears flowing when she gets called out at the reunion.

Diana I am glad I didn't see much of her other than her picking her teeth.  Did she make a comment about her boyfriend being a child?  I half listen with her.

Erika is just lather, rinse, repeat.

Turns out I do need Erika to heckle Asher because the only way I could listen to him is if I am feeling bad for him.

Forgive me for sounding shitty but do the homeless want teeth? Most that I’ve come across want money and run from any form of rehabilitation. I can’t see Dorit being much of a help to these people but hopefully one person in need did get a new smile.

I do like Crystal but this isn’t the best platform to open up about anything. They aren’t supportive and find joy in anyone else’s weakness.

Like a cheap bottle of wine, Rinna gets worse each year. However, rather than speculate that her grief is for the camera, Bravo should give her a couple of years off from the show to grieve within the comfort of her actual family and friends. 

I think there are a wide range of homeless people, many who have fallen on hard times and really want to find a place to live, work and rebuild their lives.  As sad as it seems, there are whole families that have lost their homes and are living in cars, hotels, and friends' sofas.  I agree that getting them a stable home is the top priority, but assisting with dental work would improve their lives and health, as well.  

I love what you said about Rinna- she has now turned to vinegar! Please give her some time off to deal with her "greif."

The problem that Bravo faced with NY and it is a big problem is that they were not about to fire the first black cast member especialy after one season. The blow back would have too much. But I agree that Leah and Eboni for some reason felt like they could take over the show and run it the way they wanted the audience be damned. So Brave shut down the entire show after the ratings took a nose dive. Beverly HIlls dosen't have this problem. Don't know what the rating are for this season so far but if they are good Bravo will not remove Rinna, Erika or Kyle. Andy most likely thinks that they can do no wrong.

I think they are punking us with the pigs in a blanket and spaghetti. Spaghetti has been the featured course 3 times now, twice with the Hamlins.  And I feel like we have seen pigs in a blanket more than twice.

I feel that the wives knew of the menu prior to the party - Sutton brought olive oil and oregano (?) as a hostess gift and said it was for the "chef" - seems to me that the hostess gift was Italian-themed.  I thought it was an odd choice of hostess gift (they usually bring a bottle of liquor/wine or a candle), until I heard what the menu was.

I thought it was a nice, simple menu, but not something I would serve for an elegant dinner party - more like a weeknight dinner with my family!

The problem I have with Rinna is that she's the Wife Who Called Wolf. Everything, and I mean everything, is over the top with respect to emotions.

Maybe stop being an asshole and learning from her mistakes? The reason why I doubt and mock her grief is because she always has an excuse to justify what she does. If it wasn't her dead mother, it would be something else.

Also didn't she post a few weeks ago that she is just playing a role? She needs to pick a lane and really own it, ffs.

But you are not Rinna.  Everybody behaves the way their individual experiences leads them to behave.  You can believe it's performative all day but beliefs aren't indisputable facts.  We don't know what's in her mind.  I don't understand the audacity that can compel anyone to tell another person that their display of grief isn't 100% genuine.  Also, Sutton isn't an innocent, sweet angel.  She has said and done problematic and shitty things just like the others.  If Sutton and Rinna were "friends", Sutton shouldn't have gone on WWHL to blast Rinna because of Rinna's beef with Garcelle.  Sutton should have stayed neutral.

I hadn't thought of that.  Does production pay for the caterer?  I can see them picking up the tab at a restaurant but not home catering.  But if they do then even more reason to choose a fancy menu.   I always think of spaghetti as a cheap food because I ate so much of it in college I almost never serve it now and am frankly surprised how often these Beverly Hills women serve it. 

On the olive oil as a hostess gift, someone once brought me a gift bag of fancy oils  and vinegar which I thought was a great gift.  

Anyway, I pay attention to the food just like the fashions.  Dorit often nails it on the fashion but again with the exception of Crystal, the food always seems disappointing to me.

Hmmm… notice how the women are grouped around Lisa as though it is a painting. Each of their faces or at least the sides of their heads are visible. No one is blocking someone else. Seems to me the camera person set this up very carefully and posed them in the correct positions before the director yelled, “Action!”

If this had been a spontaneous situation in which the women rushed to comfort Lisa, no way would this be so carefully staged for the camera. Just how much is the audience being manipulated here?

I can't speak to the operation of Rinna's mind.  When it comes to things one can never truly know 100%, I think it's better to err on the side of believing that she really did love her mother and is still in pain 2 months after she lost her.

I assume Rinna actually does love her mom and is grieving her. I just don't completely connect it with her giving herself another screaming scene about accusing someone of coming for her family on the show about screaming scenes that she's on. Even if her grief is real, Sutton's not a close loved one who'd be expected to be okay with being her punching bag. Rinna's accusations are just as silly and exaggerated now as they would be if her mother hadn't died.

The fact that she then said the show should be ashamed of giving her only one episode for it rather than just apologizing again seems like yeah, she's making this a storyline. That doesn't mean she doesn't actually love her mother or isn't actually grieving her, but she's also on a reality show. Two things can be true at once.

Clearly she should take a hiatus from the show to deal with her grief if she cannot control her behavior at a CHARITY EVENT in front of not only innocent bystanders but freaking Melissa Etheridge. It was so cringeworthy!

Erica should propose take a break too to deal with all her legal problems and rebound sex issues. Also cringe 😬

Mauricio, even high as a kite as he was on last night's episode, would NEVER insult a potential high-commission client.

Also makes me wonder about how much Kyle must bitch and complain to Mauricio about Rinna when they are alone without the cameras around.  I often get a vibe from Kyle that she really doesn't like Rinna at all, that she's just playing along with her for sake of the show.  I just get a feeling that there really is no love lost between Kyle and Rinna.

Ha!  I was shocked they had that as the dish.  Pretty cheap to make though.  Did anyone actually eat it?  Which reminds me that I wondered if the “charity dinner” was just a way to host and take a tax deduction.

while the name of the charity is a bit cheesy IMO, lack of dental care is a big deal for the poor, and can lead to numerous other health problems.  So good for Dorit for getting involved in what is NOT a “sexy” charity.

I agree that everyone deals differently with grief, and it can hit you at random moments ( I was a basket case after my sister died and we hadn’t talked in almost 20 years) - Rinna gets no pass for using that as her excuse for AGAIN hounding Sutton.  This is, what, the 3rd time she’s “putting the argument behind” her?  Yet, No, she keeps bringing it up.  And this time was the worst, at a charity event?  
 

mo was high as a kite, but I loved him chiming in on Rinna’s potty mouth!

poor Melissa Etheridge - hope she got paid well…..
