Meh. SAH is flourishing and VPR may have hit bumps, but is still huge.


Is it flourishing?

There’s an interesting podcast interview with Laura-Leigh.

You can read the recap on Vanderpod Recaps, Instagram. 

Laura Leigh is drunk/fucked up on this podcast.  She’s supposed to be sober (even though she admits that she’s not sober 365 days/year.  I always felt bad for her but this interview was annoying.

Her accent is annoying, Her squeaky voice comes and goes.  She thinks that she was on the road to being Britney Cartwright.. she thought Jax wanted to marry her!  

I’ve never seen her act, is she good?  She went to Juliard.

Yeah Jax may be an ass, but she grabbed his hand and dragged him to the bathroom for sex on camera.  I take her comments with many grains of salt, especially if she was drunk on the podcast.

If memory serves, she left the show for an "acting" career, but I assume nothing came of it because I haven't heard her name since.

I saw Laura Leigh on an old Law and Order episode from the late 2000s (pre VR). She sounded like on VR- not a great acting voice, unless it's for a character part.

Does that mean James will not be appearing on The Valley?

The prosecutor was lenient with him. This is also because he didn't have any previous legal issues as far as I know (I didn't check), meaning other women didn't report incidents, so it was his first offense. People are not necessarily aware that only some DV incidents are reported to the authorities. What happened or said on a reality show, or social media (by Rachel, and Kristen) is not relevant. I wouldn't hire him if I were a Bravo producer, or anything else.

I agree. 

But I was just joking that, Ally’s incentive to pursue and stay with James, despite his abusive and aggressive behavior, has always been that he was on a TV show. If they aren’t going to let him (and her) appear on The Valley, there’s really no point.

Ally confirms that she and James have broken up. 

Smart girl.

I don't know enough to make a judgement, but if she says he never hit her... 🤷‍♂️

Damn it! And I really used to like Ally.

I got the impression Ally was not that different from Rachel, in that both sought him out in hopes of riding his Bravolebrity coattails.

The witnesses who called 911, and her said he threw her on the ground.

I said it too - and I wasn't joking!  And looks like we were both right 🤷‍♀️

She knows his career might be over.

She traveled to the west edge of the Valley to see/meet him when he was a guest dj at a bar. This was not an accidental meeting.

Back in the day I thought it was clever of Raquel to claim she wanted to work at VDP Dogs instead of SUR!  And Ally likewise acted like she was all about the tarot, but they all just want to be on tv 😄
