How about some positive media about the Housewives for a change?

https://www.nbc.com/nbc-insider/matt-damon-narrated-d-day-doc-to-premiering-during-olympics

Kathryn Edwards’s husband Donnies head up a charity that enables veterans of D-day to visit Normandy. The documentary ran during the Olympics coverage Saturday afternoon and was very, very powerful.

Quote

Former NFL player Donnie Edwards and his charity, the Best Defense Foundation, play a central role in the tribute. Edwards, known for his time with the Kansas City Chiefs and San Diego Chargers, is featured in organizing a trip for veterans to Normandy. 

Reflecting on the creation of the Best Defense Foundation, Edwards said, “After I retired, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do. My passion was giving back to all those who served … making sure they’re taken care of. This is my cause. This is my purpose.” 

I thought Donnie looked familiar but I couldn’t immediately place him.

"Beauvais was on SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live and was talking to host Jeff Lewis about the situation. Lewis and Beauvais were talking about how they don't feel like they've ever seen the real Kemsley and Beauvais said it would be nice to see the "real Dorit." Lewis said that he thought she was putting it on for the camera and Beauvais agreed with him. “Yeah, I do. I mean, I’ve said it before,” she said on the show. “This season, I’m not allowed to say a lot, but she is on fire, and I think that’s because a lot of things are going on with her.”

Then things get a little tricky. Lewis asked if Kemsley was on fire in a good or bad way and Beauvais said “It depends on where you start.” He then assumed that she meant that Kemsley was a "super b*tch" and Beauvais didn't disagree with him. “Yes. Agree,” Beauvais said of the situation. “She’s definitely activated, and you know where it’s coming from. There’s a lot going on … but everybody has stuff going on. Right? So, are we gonna excuse that?”

Six weeks before Tom Girardi's criminal trial in Los Angeles is scheduled to begin, federal prosecutors revealed that they intend to introduce key evidence: that the disgraced former attorney allegedly spent more than $25 million of client and law firm money on the career of his reality TV star wife.

Until now, Erika Girardi — a mainstay of Bravo's "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" — has rarely been mentioned in her estranged husband's federal prosecution. Tom Girardi — once a superstar plantiffs attorney and influential Democratic Party donor — and his law firm's former chief financial officer are accused of stealing $15 million from several clients in a years-long scheme.

In a court filing Friday, prosecutors said they plan to show the jury evidence that Tom Girardi misappropriated far more than that from his law firm, Girardi Keese, and his clients, including the $25 million they allege he diverted to cover the "illegitimate expenses" of EJ Global LLC, a company he formed for his wife's entertainment career.

"By directing Girardi Keese accounting personnel to make these payments for the benefit of EJ Global, defendant [Tom] Girardi knowingly and intentionally funneled payments sourced from client funds for the improper personal enrichment of his family members," prosecutors wrote in their filing.

No underlying evidence was included in the filing, and it's unclear how prosecutors plan to prove their assertion. They did not mention Erika Girardi by name, nor did they accuse her of wrongdoing or knowledge of her husband's financial practices.

Instead, prosecutors want to rebut Tom Girardi's defense strategy of blaming the CFO by showing that Girardi was also misappropriating money to spend on his wife and her career.

Erika Girardi's lawyer, Evan Borges, emphasized that prosecutors did not say the "Housewives" star did anything wrong and that it was undisputed that Tom Girardi and his firm handled the finances and accounting of EJ Global LLC.

"She had no knowledge of the actions of Tom Girardi or Girardi Keese regarding client matters or finances," Borges said, noting that one judge already dismissed a suit against her because of "ZERO evidence" of her involvement in client matters.

"Years ago, Erika filed for divorce and separated from Tom Girardi, and lives in a rental," Borges said in a statement. "She is entitled to move on with her life."

Prosecutors want to bring in the evidence related to Erika Girardi's company, EJ Global, because of what Tom Girardi's attorneys revealed at a hearing on Thursday. Deputy Public Defender Charles Snyder indicated at the hearing that the defense will point a finger at the law firm's CFO, Christopher Kamon.

Snyder said his client wasn't the one "running the machine" — it was Kamon, who oversaw the firm's accounting department and 127 bank accounts.

In a separate federal prosecution, Kamon is charged with allegedly running a "side fraud" in which he embezzled millions from the law firm using sham vendors, then spent the funds on home renovations, exotic cars and “female escorts," according to court papers. Kamon, who has pleaded not guilty in both cases, faces a second trial in October for the so-called side fraud.

Girardi's legal team plans to cite the alleged "side fraud" by the CFO as a cause for large deficits in Girardi Keese's accounts.

Further, they plan to argue that Girardi was liquidating his personal assets and putting those funds back into the firm for payroll and expenses to offset money depleted by Kamon's alleged scheme.

In court Thursday, Snyder said that Girardi's lies to clients about the whereabouts of their settlement money — what prosecutors called "lulling communications" meant to fend them off — were not meant to swindle victims but to permit Girardi himself to get to the bottom of his firm's finances.

Kamon's attorney, Michael Severo, poured cold water on the narrative: "It's just fiction," he said in court.

With Girardi's lawyers suggesting that they'll shift culpability onto Kamon, prosecutors wrote in their filing that evidence of money misappropriated to pay EJ Global's bills is "essential" to telling "a coherent and complete story of the charged scheme."

"Excluding such evidence would only serve to distort the truth and leave the jury with the mistaken impression that only defendant Kamon is to blame for such misappropriation when, in truth, defendant Girardi similarly misappropriated tens of millions himself," the prosecutors wrote.

Girardi and Kamon are scheduled to go on trial together on Aug. 6. But late Friday, Girardi's attorneys moved to try them separately, in part because their defense strategies are "mutually exclusive."

That is, Girardi's lawyers believe that each man will blame the other. They plan to argue that Kamon wanted to cheat and deceive his boss and exploit an elderly man facing cognitive decline. They also predict that Kamon will claim he was "pressured" into acting at Girardi's command, according to court papers.

We know already the jury convicted Girardi after only three hours of deliberations.

The next season seems pretty locked up as of now (unlike the bts drama Atlanta is having), so I think they might wait and see how next season plays out before deciding if any retooling is needed. Plus with Rinna gone, last season was the least toxic this show has been in a long while.

If any shows of franchise is safe from retooling, it seems to be this one (and maybe OC).

The new season will air soon. Bravo just showed a short promo (the women, not scenes).

Sutton Stracke, star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, didn't close her store, but she did change its business model:  

New location

Stracke's store, The Sutton Concept, is now located in a unit in the back of the same building in West Hollywood.  

Appointment only

The store is now open by appointment only, and customers can make an appointment to see samples of her clothing.  

Inventory moved

Stracke moved her inventory to Houston and no longer needs the storefront.  

Assistant's error

Stracke's assistant, Avi Gabay, was responsible for the "for lease" sign, which was an error.  

Business is thriving

Stracke's business is still thriving, and she's excited about the future of her boutique and sustainable clothing line, Sutton Brands.

It means that the store was not successful if she changed the name of the brand, and the model of the business. Why did she move her inventory to Houston? Avi doesn’t seem the kind of person who makes mistakes. It was not a mistake because the store moved to a unit at the back of the building according to Sutton, so the front store was up for lease.

Teddi Mellencamp is getting divorced!

Maybe she’ll join a throuple with Kyle and Morgan.

https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/teddi-mellencamp-is-filing-for-divorce-from-husband-edwin-arroyave/

lol! It would be interesting to see single Kyle/Morgan and single Teddi interact. I never thought there was anything beyond a close friendship between Kyle and Teddi, but the other women did imply stuff.

In all seriousness, it is sad news. Divorces happen, but I really hate seeing it when small kids are involved. It's not the worst thing that could happen. Two loving homes beat one unhappy, tense one, but still.

Teddi and her husband seemed to have a good marriage (nobody's marriage is perfect), but I guess not really after all. 

As for Kyle and Morgan, they didn’t see each other for many months, and I just read (I didn't bother before, only now that they were mentioned here) that they recently did to promote a charity. I don't understand why people insist they are a couple.

And I don't understand why the tabs are so anxious to out them IF they are except that's what gets the clicks.  The divorce/separation was big news but the rest of it seems like just Hollywood gossip of trying to pair celebs together, true or not.

Anyway, until Kyle or Morgan make some sort of public announcement, I'm in the "whatever" camp.

It's for clicks. It's also amusing that most of the times the (screaming) titles don't match the actual content of the posts!

Kyle's separation was big news because she seemed to have a good marriage, as well.

I’m not the most romantic person, nor do I believe divorce is the worst thing that could ever happen, but even I hate to see these couples who seem perfectly happy not work out, especially when kids are involved. Teddi’s kids are all very young, and Portia is still a teen too.

Kyle hasn’t always been my favorite Housewife. Sometimes I can’t stand the way she treats the other women, but I always like her mother/wife scenes. It impressed me to see a Hollywood couple together for so many years. It doesn’t happen that often. “Love bean” aside, I like seeing happy, affectionate couples, and I will always admire that Kyle and Mauricio raised good girls who stay out of trouble. Their kids could have easily had some of the issues the Hiltons and Kardashians had, but there have been zero scandals. They go to school and work. I think K & M should be very proud of their marriage and the life they built together, no matter what happens.

It's alleged Teddi had an affair with her horse trainer:

Quote

Deux Moi says she got several DMS about it adding, “people are telling me this is a well known fact in the horse show community and that when the wife found out – this is the person’s words….it was an all out brawl between them that happened at a horse show in mid September when everything came to light. So I would gather that is why so many people know about it.”

Deux Moi alleges that Edwin found out the day before the announcement

It's something that the people who were so pushy with the Denise and Brandi storyline are the ones who are most sus themselves. 

And frankly after all the accusations that Brandi bedded one of the ladies of BH but no names given, only guess...nobody remembers that she and Kim were joined at the hip many seasons ago, hmmm.

Now that Kyle has officially declared herself swimming in the lady pond, maybe it was her.  I don't see Kim being involved with Brandi in that way.

Kim was drugging and drinking back then so who knows!  

I think Kyle has waded in the lady pond before as in this is nothing new but Brandi is so skanky I cannot imagine Kyle wanting to be with Brandi.
