Gee, maybe his lifestyle of drug trafficking explains the rift with his sister? You don't suddenly wake up one day & decide to take 100lbs of cannabis to Germany.

Instead, he blamed her fame, her boyfriend, her treatment of his fiance, etc.

How did this take so long to become public? It happened in February.

Brittany has filed for divorce from Jax.

About time. Run, run, run far away!

[bosawks]

I guess I should resign myself to watching BRAVO's new dating show, "Let's Get Britty With It!"

[Marley]

Good for Brittany. I would bet money Jax will try to make the custody thing difficult but then will just give up & barely see his kid. He’s shit.

Given Jax's recent woes, I doubt a judge would give him joint custody. Brittany is generous to offer visitation. She's not asking for any support, so I think things will move fairly quickly.

Yes. But Stassi also has her own show on Hulu- Stassi Says. It's a comedic reality show. Do we really care about what Stassi has to say?

Stassi’s SM popularity astounds me.  To me she seems so egotistical and immature, especially as a wife and mother of two children.  I don’t understand the cult following that she has (for instance, “Yes, Queen!”).  Apparently I’m just too old to understand it.

[RealHousewife]

Before Cruz was born, Jax said himself “you’d leave me alone with a kid?!”

I hate to see this, but we all knew it would happen years ago. I think Brittany seems like a sweetheart, but between Jax hitting on Lala when Brittany moved to be with him and then cheating on her with Faith, their relationship was always messy, to put it mildly. 

I’m not sure if I’ll watch Stassi’s show, but she was the most funny and charismatic of the girls on Vanderpump.

I bet there is a lot more to this than what’s in the media, given their scenes on VR, especially his ‘roid rages and telling her dad and brothers that he was always going to come first, no matter what. Cruz deserves a better role model than Jax.

But at least Brit got the fairy tale wedding of her dreams…

I’m sure she’s not perfect, but almost everyone likes Brittany and is friendly with her off camera. I think she must be genuinely nice, since the same cannot be said for the rest of the cast.

Maybe not. I’m no Britt fan, but she appeared to take her share of verbal abuse from Jax, and had to explain away his awful behavior many times. One time that I can remember off the top of my head was her saying, “That’s Jax. He’ll come around. He always does.” I forget exactly the circumstance, but there she was again, smiling away, excusing his boorishness. It wasn’t over something minor, I do recall that. Even though she was obviously choosing to overlook it, still doesn’t make it okay.

He was also quick to throw a fist. 🚩🚩🚩 in my book.

She and Cruz are better off without him.

Good for her for filing for divorce, but she chose the celebrity lifestyle, that's why she pursued Jax via DM, and she is allegedly dating another semi famous person/D list celebrity now. As for Jax, he won't see his kid too much because it's not in him (he is extremely selfish), and Cruz is not "perfect".

Sorry, I don’t care if she is a celebrity. The way Jax often talked to her and acted —   nobody deserves that. Britt has her faults to be sure, but I’m not giving Jax any free pass here by implying she accepted it or ignored it to snag him, so she knew what she was getting into. We really don’t know the details, and I’m willing to give her the benefit of the doubt. Jax could be a very scary dude at times.

As I responded to Bosawks, she is supposedly seeing somebody who was on The Bachelorette. “Supposedly”, because my source was the Daily Mail, which is not on the same level as The New York Times.

I'm not giving Jax any free passes either. He is despicable. But I think that Brittany who is not very intelligent was impressed by his celebrity (he was a celebrity before her, and a bigger one after she joined the show) along her mother, and they ignored (or chose to ignore) certain red flags.

Absolutely!  Jax was a known manwhore and she went to meet him in Vegas, had sex with him and followed him to LA and moved in with him.  The rest is on her, IMO.

What did the rest of them have to do this summer, anyway.  Maybe James had some gigs, but the rest?  Not so much.  I suspect there won’t be much Ariana, either.  Why should she?

[Carolina Girl]

I wonder if I'll even care.  I waited until the season was done before I even bothered to watch the last time and that was only based on the comments here.  I don't think I even watched the Reunion as I figured from the comments that it, once again, had devolved into a Lala screaming fest in her endless bid for attention.

I'd enjoy a few scenes of Sandoval being bitter at Arianna's successes, but a whole season?  Yeah, I'd watch a whole season of that, lol.

I read that Bravo wants to give an update on their story lines, and that this is their last season. SUR employees who have no connection to the old crew are filming scenes, as well for a possible reboot of VR.

I cannot lie, I am tuning in to see how Lala is going to attempt to monetize motherhood this time.

And when it inevitably fails how she will excuse everything do to post-partum issues to the disgust of everyone.

It will be terrible.

If he had been physically abusive rather just emotionally, would you still feel the same way?  Many people do - if you don't leave after he hits you the first time, the second-final times you get hit are on you.  I think it's very hard for someone who hasn't been in an abusive relationship to understand WHY someone would stay, but there are all sorts of psychological reasons why people stay and it really sucks being abused by someone you love.  Obviously I've been in that situation, and it took me a long time to get out and get free, and it was very hurtful and discouraging when people would say, "but you knew who he was!" 

Please don't feel like I'm picking on you personally - yours was one of many posts I could have picked, but was the closest one to grab.  Anyway, thanks for coming to my Ted Talk!

To answer your question:  if he had been physically abusive to other women on the tv before she even went to meet him in Vegas, then yes I would still feel the same way.  She didn't love him then.  This wasn't a case where she met a guy, thought he was awesome and then he changed.  I'm sorry for your experience and can actually relate to the verbal/emotional abuse, but I never watched a guy cheat and treat people like crap for a few years and thought "That's who I want to be with!"  Unlike Brittany, who IMO wanted to be on tv just like the rest of them.

A Los Angeles Superior Court judge upheld ex-Vanderpump Rules star Rachel Leviss's revenge porn claim against former costar Ariana Madix Thursday, finding that Madix's alleged distribution of an explicit video of Leviss is not protected free speech.

Last month, Leviss amended a lawsuit she filed in Los Angeles earlier this year against Sandoval and Madix.

Judge Daniel M. Crowley denied Madix's request to dismiss the lawsuit against her, writing that the revenge porn claim cannot be dismissed "because the alleged conduct is illegal and, therefore, not protected by the First Amendment or the anti-SLAPP statute."

Ariana Madix's attorney appealed the decision.

[heatherchandler]

I’m glad it was not dismissed.  Claiming that it is free speech is admitting that she disseminated it, right?  

This is why the laws are in place; so hurt men and women don’t disseminate porn to hurt or embarrass the person in the porn.

I totally agree with you but I still don't understand how sending the video to her own phone falls under this category.  As far as we know, she didn't send it to anyone else.  But maybe we (the public) don't have all the information.

The public never has all the information unless it is revealed in court (and not even then). We don't have the details from what happened in court, only the Judge's decision- the article didn't mention details. Rachel Leviss' attorney said in the past that there is proof. 

"A revenge porn claim against Madix and allegations of invasion of privacy and intentional infliction of emotional distress against both Sandoval and Madix along with several other unnamed individuals".

Ariana's attorneys used the First Amendment defense, but this is about censorship. Her case is not about censorship.

Watching the marathon with the after shows thrown in today. Admittedly, I haven’t thought about VR since the season ended. I got to wondering whether Schwartz and Sandy’s was still open. The webpage is still amateur hour. I didn’t see any menus to check out the food and drinks, just the usual home page that has been up forever with a reservations link. (I always love going in blind to a restaurant/bar.)

Their Instagram is better — but the food pics they posted are not appetizing at all. Food photography means more than just pointing your iPhone at a plate and clicking. This is an art. I used to work for a place that did this as a side, and it was done in a studio, with a kitchen, and enhancements were added to make the dishes pop on the page. (Downside was, this could make the food inedible.)

Contrast that to Something About Her. I have no clue how involved the Toms are, I’m thinking Schwartz probably more than Sandoval, but this is a joke.

In better news, I saw where Lala had her baby about a month ago. Absolutely beautiful little girl. Happy for her.

Hopefully they won't serve the food made for the photo session! 😄

[ZettaK]

I watched some of the After Shows, and the Secrets Revealed episode (S11) of the Marathon on Bravo.

It was obvious Schwartz was playing boyfriend to Jo. He even took her/introduced her to his family!

Scheana was a stalker by following the locations of other cast members (and anybody else imagined), checking what everybody did all day long obsessively, like the cast mentioned!  

Also, there were rumors in the beginning of the year that S & S closed, and at least one of those YouTubers ran with it- he said it closed on one of the first links I saw. That's what happens when individuals take these people seriously. The lounge is still open. Sandoval was always more involved, but the partners didn't want him to be "visible" after Scandoval. 

ETA: Ally disconnected her phone from Scheana's phone location.

I just looked at the IG page. They don't even post- there are very few photos. Some of my local restaurants post daily, and they have beautiful, professional photos (and good food). S & S' photos look like photos taken with an old model phone by the personnel in bad lighting conditions, without even bothering to edit them slightly with the phone photo app (eg. the lighting). It seems to me as if they think people will come because it's THEIR bar/lounge.

There’s a reference to Vanderpump Rules on the Netflix show “Nobody Wants This.” Episode 6.

 

Nobody Wants This is a very predictable show that feels like they filmed it ten or more years ago. But maybe I don’t like it, because I don’t like Kristen Bell. 
 

ETA: Make that 20-30 years ago. It has a real network sitcom feel to it.
