Caught investigating Jenn's boyfriend, someone she calls her friend and says she loves. Yet, she's digging into his background for dirt to use against her. 

If Ryan had illegal earnings or ill gotten gains, the government would've seized his assets/accounts and charged him. Instead, he was given immunity and is a cooperating witness. Glad you edited your post lest you be sued as well.

Nothing Ryan (or Jenn, or Shannon) did or didn't do makes Tamrat a better person. Constantly looking for ammunition to tear everyone around her down is Tamra's MO. It's as old and tired as she looks.

I edited my post slightly because the mods don't want information that didn't air yet to be posted on episode threads. 

Do you know Ryan?

Heather would likely get a nice settlement, but it wouldn't last forever. Terry has money, and a lot of it, consistently rolling in, a real and lucrative career, and if they were divorced, Heather would not have access to it. Maybe she would score a sweet deal like Sutton-- she's making 250K a month or something in alimony or something crazy. It's definitely cheaper for Terry to stay married to Heather, which IMO, is why he is. 

California is a community property state (some states are, most are not). Everything is divided 50/50 in a divorce. The Dubrows made their money together. They even sold their last house for $55 million. That's minus their mortgage (we know they had one from previous seasons), etc., but it was still tens of millions. I doubt they have a prenuptial agreement- Terry was not that well-off when they got married. 

Shane is working. He never stopped working, but before he passed his law bar exam he was working at a law office, not as an attorney though.

No, I have Google & can read.

The interpreter stole money from the baseball played and gambled with it. The bookie he used to place bets is Ryan's business partner. One of the accounts money was wired to involved Ryan. Ryan cooperated with the investigation. his business partner pled guilty to money laundering/tax evasion and is awaiting sentencing. https://www.justice.gov/usao-cdca/pr/san-juan-capistrano-man-agrees-plead-guilty-federal-charges-running-illegal-sports

The point of my post was Tamrat (or anyone else) using this situation as ammunition against Jenn is a false equivalence. Tamrat is an utterly evil **** who derives joy from tearing others down & she mistakenly believes that maligning others (or their loved ones) makes her look better. Yet, she's too dumb to understand the legal nuances and too arrogant to STFU, which is why she already lost one slander/defamation lawsuit & had to publicly apologize to avoid facing another one.

Someone really needs to serve her with a Cyst and Disease letter.

Sutton is getting $300k per month, which is $3.6 million a year, plus another $50k a month in child support. I think even Heather would be good with that amount.

No wonder Sutton doesn't give a crap what anyone says about her, and is totally fine being kooky and silly. She's loaded until infinity! WOW!

Eddie says he loves Tamra, but NOT TV Tamra. Since they are the same thing, I think that's a pretty not-so-subtle way of saying he's miserable all the time. As not-TV Tamra has said, her "not TV" Tamra personality lacks empathy, has trauma that flares up her autism symptoms, and has a hole in her heart because her oldest daughter is estranged from her (and have been for over 8 years).

I totally agree with you. (In my lame defense, I was not sober, but home ….)

The fact that she is able to contribute to The Innocence Project and also platform. It on TV to raise awareness is amazing.

Such an important cause so I am happy and we a blessed that she has the financial freedom to showcase these on a show.

It's cute. Emily supports a non-profit, as rich people all do. She hasn't incorporated her work with Innocence Project into her life, engaged her family, and it's mostly just her there (IMO) exploiting people who are vulnerable to make herself look good. Maybe she donates money, maybe she donates volunteer time/hours, awareness, but she does not "work" for them in an official capacity. What we see from her on the project is not anything different than anyone that shows up at fundraiser and talks to people. It's a good cause of course, but I think she is completely misrepresenting her importance and value to the organization. Kind of like the Annabelle lady did-- yeah, she did a lot of school, had an important career, and was proud of her work, but at the same time, there is a selfish agenda and manipulation to seem "more" to get more status/attention. Emily is not a heavy player in the organization.

Also, judging by their tiny social media audience, Emily isn't doing too much to spread awareness. I think the whole organization has 120 followers on LinkedIn.

I have Google too. The case was on the media including ESPN and the LA Times. I hope you realize what receiving immunity means. 

Receiving immunity means being granted legal protection from punishment, liability, or legal action that would otherwise apply in exchange of providing information. Immunity can be granted in a variety of contexts, such as civil and criminal cases, administrative proceedings, and legislative inquiries.

And he did a lot more than what you mentioned. It's not weaponizing anything. Perhaps the women don't want to associate with a specific kind of people.

Noticing Jenn's D&G dress in Barneys (or wherever store it was)  and not only checking the price tag but texting the info to Tamra was right on brand for Heather.  How dare Jenn shop in the same store as Heather!  Fuck off Snobby McSnob.  And  why is she counting Jenn's money now?  I know it's not because she's "concerned" about her.

The most laughable part for me was Tamra trying to be Heather and question how Gina would even know the French fashion  brand Anne Fontaine.  I had the same thought about Tamra, who I always picture living in  a trailer. 

Heather and Tamra are quite the team of bullies. 

It's really like who Dumb and who's Dumber? LOL. They are morphing into the same ridiculous blabbermouths and tattletales. They remind me of babies that play side by side, frenetic blabbering to themselves, while keeping an eye on and copying everything the other does.

Self preservation? As a Heather fan, I am disappointed in her allegiance to Tamra.  In the real world, she wouldn't give Tamra the time of day.  Tamra has gone too far.  It feels like the audience isn't interested in the meanness anymore. 

I don't mind the snark but the all out meanness is just too much!  TamRat indeed.

I just don’t know what to say.

That was one of the most unpleasant episodes I’ve seen in a long while.

I am INFURIATED all over again that Tamra is trying to excuse/justify her behavior by claiming she is on the spectrum. She is a cancer on this show. 

Andy, Bravo, Producers, Whoever: Please. Kick her off for good. Maybe that will also put her sidekick Heather on notice.

The season was popular. I doubt this is going to happen. Bravo wanted to fire Shannon because of her DUI, and lack of storyline (otherwise). Alexis joining the show,  and storyline about John Janssen saved her.
