Happy Camper July 9, 2019 Share July 9, 2019 (edited) LVP is guilty of manipulation, and she is not the only culprit. I just witnessed Kyle and Teddi try to manipulate Erika, and Rinna try to manipulate Camille. Manipulation and controlling the narrative is the name of the game in the world of housewives, in any franchise. Not one of them would ever admit to it. The master manipulator is Andy. Just watch any reunion. 1 minute ago, Happy Camper said: Edited July 9, 2019 by Happy Camper 21 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1866-rhobh-in-the-media/page/45/#findComment-5432200
langford peel July 9, 2019 Share July 9, 2019 LVP is guilty of having the only interesting life on this show. What do these other people bring other than lawsuits that can’t be talked about on air? They had to import Camille to have someone with a story that they could build episodes around. The rest of them have nothing interesting going on. There will have to be a major overhaul in the cast if they want to make this show interesting. 1 14 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1866-rhobh-in-the-media/page/45/#findComment-5432378

LVP says she believes she didn’t do it. I’m not sure if that’s because she knows who Lucy was given to or not.

I’m an animal loving vegetarian, but I know how crazy some of my fellow animal lovers can be. I wouldn’t want this woman receiving death threats even if she messed up.

Instead of being reasonable and saying yes Lisa could have leaked the story but there were others who could as well Teddi put it all on bringing down LVP.

But...this is why I’ve never warmed up to this woman, I never felt she was genuine in any way, shape or form. I would much rather see the “real” Lisa Rinna then the soap opera version of her that Rinna has crafted. She really gets a kick out of herself, doesn’t she?! The worst display is her, it’s all about me, like at Andy’s baby shower. No, I don’t care about your high kicks Rinna, save it for Harry, pretty please! We also know, that Andy declined to put her on the show, season 1, because in the beginning he wanted the focus to be an insiders look on the real housewives, not actors. While some of the ladies had acted, it was not the core/center of their lives/worlds. Then Andy changed his mind and welcomed Rinna, Eileen and Denise, who are all well known as actors. Why the change in strategy? I feel like Brandi brought the show down and Rinna made it campy and ruined the formula. I miss the magic that was season one RHOBH! 🙁 16 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1866-rhobh-in-the-media/page/45/#findComment-5433653

Lol I think this is true for any of the ones who failed at acting and don’t need a paycheck-they want stardom. Honestly, she’s pretty humble about her fame. A lot of people know Lisa Rinna. She’s probably the most famous person who has ever been in the cast after Denise Richards. If you ask someone who’s not a Bravo viewer about Dorit, Erika, or even Lisa Vanderpump, they’d probably have no idea who you’re talking about. I remember Vanderpump seemed to look down upon Rinna’s and Eileen’s soap careers and twitter followings, but truth be told they’re both much bigger stars outside of Bravo than any of them with the exception of Denise Richards. 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1866-rhobh-in-the-media/page/45/#findComment-5434139

(Plotline) Is it to gain an advantage with Bravo? (Money) Is it to make people dance to her liking? (Manipulation for sick purposes) She has admitted that she just wanted to be famous. Her claim to fame is manipulation and anything for attention. What a legacy to leave.

Happy Camper July 10, 2019 Share July 10, 2019 10 hours ago, nexxie said: What proof do you have that Dorit took the puppy to a shelter? LVP admitted that Dorit called her the day after giving the dog to a woman who wanted her. Perhaps LVP decided to assassinate Dorit’s character on the show instead of asking her to return the dog - sick. There is no proof that Dorit took the puppy to the shelter. It's my belief, based on what I have observed from listening to Dorit's story. There is also no proof that LVP went to ROL with the story. People are just basing their opinions on the evidence as they perceive it. This is why there will never be any resolution to this situation in the minds of the RHOBH audience. Same as the Bethenny/Carole sitch on NY. Sometimes we just need to agree to disagree and wait for next season's battle. 12 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1866-rhobh-in-the-media/page/45/#findComment-5434213

All of sudden, she's playing a role? Interesting how this all coincides with Rinna getting all friendly and ass-kissy to Erica/Erika Jayne, who also claims to play a role or alter-ego or some such bullshit. Interesting, because I guess that's the same role Rinna plays on every talk show she's been on since starting with RHOBH - we see the same exact type of asshole-ish behavior. I also hope that since Rinna's admitted that what we are seeing is not really who she is, she will be fired, because it's supposed to be the real person - not some role/character that she created for the show. Let her get fired and let's see how popular she will be in two years. 11 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1866-rhobh-in-the-media/page/45/#findComment-5434381
Door County Cherry July 10, 2019 Share July 10, 2019 I think if you're going to do a show like this, approaching it as job where you're playing a character is probably the healthiest approach. Otherwise, the toxicity of it all would just wear you down. Last season was my first RHofBH season but I'd seen Rinna acting in other things. When I saw her talking heads, I got the sense she was pretty aware of the "show" of it all and I thought her talking heads were pretty funny. This season, she's clearly playing the one who stirs the pot. She's probably being a bit too blunt for Bravo about the unreality of "reality" TV but characters like her, Denise and even Erika are probably the only way I survive as a viewer. I kind of feel that, after filming, at least there are some "characters" who are totally gonna be fine and shake what happens off their backs vs. others who might take their work home. That would be a rough thing to put yourself through annually. Who knows? Maybe the others let it roll as well but I feel it more with the others. It's probably no coincidence that, other than Denise, their actual home life is showed rarely to never on this show. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1866-rhobh-in-the-media/page/45/#findComment-5434513

Yes if you quit and don’t expect to be paid you are totally within your rights. If you want to see what is like to be the subject of a gang attack watch Camille in the next episode and on the reunion. Camille is a tough cookie and not afraid to spill the beans and let out some home truths. She has the fight in her to deal with the orchestrated attacks of these vile women. Lisa has said that she is hurting and never should have been on this season. She couldn’t summon the fire to continue to defend herself against the grifting puppy dumper and her adherents. So she opted out and didn’t worry about her salary for her own well being. That’s not cowardice. That’s self preservation. It’s a reality tv show. LVP knew what she signed up for and what the risks were. Quitting halfway through did her absolutely no favours. In my opinion, it was a bad decision. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1866-rhobh-in-the-media/page/45/#findComment-5435036
