AndySmith April 7, 2017 Share April 7, 2017 (edited) Quote Being wary/leery/not trusting someone after they hurt/attack you is not holding a grudge, it is a normal human reaction But throwing passive-aggressive digs even after saying you are fine and want to move on or asking for someone's eye lashes just to fuck with them is holding a grudge.

Again, if PK is making this leap that because Erika has no problem with provocative clothes or nudity in her professional context, then perhaps her "bits" are intentionally available for all men to see at all times, then that is implying sluttiness!

As for PK saying some were calling him a "perv", I do believe that Eileen did last episode (not sure though) but he could also be referring to viewers on SM, he was raked over the coals big time. 4 Link to comment

Again, to me, the whole conversation was just gross. I don't see a "perv" as being a response to questioning someone's character. I do think PK was bewildered by Erika. She pretty much told the Brits and Dorit she didn't like their humor and then turned around and said she wasn't wearing any underwear and was introverted. Let's be clear, Eileen, who would take a look but wouldn't stare, RInna said one doesn't have time to worry about their puss flashing and PK said he enjoyed the scenery. The most guilty party was Dorit for overstating what her husband said about Erika. With the, "he couldn't stop staring," comment. You think Erika is a slut for flashing I just don't see it that way. Erika is not two different people. I would think it would invite polite inquiry to ask of others if her party trick is to flash. She gives zero fucks and is all about sex and fun. When one has to make up what the person is asking or determine what they are implying it says more about the accuser than the speaker. There are a fair number of people who think it is gross to go sans undies, talk about it and flash. 9 Link to comment

And, again, I have trouble with this notion that Erika "announced" that she wasn't wearing panties. It makes it sound like it came out of nowhere and Erika was just this good time girl who decided to declare that she was going commando. LVP was specifically asking about her panties and putting her hand up Erika's skirt (confirmed by both Erika and Dorit). Erika was rolling along with it. I imagine if Erika had brushed it off, she would be accused of being cold and having no humor. At the end of the day, there's a reason why many, many viewers found PK's tone and intention suspect. Not all will agree. 6 Link to comment

To me, there is a clear implication there, "Oh, she's that type of girl." Look, at the end of the day, it's not a statement I would make about someone ever. I would never make some sweeping statement, "Maybe they're bits are available to everyone!" I don't care if someone was in Playboy or Penthouse, I'd never surmise they want their privates to be seen by every single person in every single situation. There is a distinct shaming quality to it.

Oh, and he never said that she exposed herself to entice him or anyone else or that she did it on purpose before the white party.

I dunno, I think she was pretty damned kind to her, considering. Someone you think is a friend who then screams in your face at the reunion? Not a grudge. Simply not liking someone. Grudge: a persistent feeling of ill will or resentment resulting from a past insult or injury. That describes Lisa Rinna, not LVP. Because, damn, Kim hasn't been part of the main cast for 2 years, and she can't let it go. LVP the grudge holder would never be okay with Kyle, Kim, and apparently Eileen. Just saying, LVP seems to have moved on. LVP holds a grudge. Most of the cast - even those that love her as Kyle does - have said she holds a grudge. We have seen her hold a grudge. She didn't invite Adrienne to her party the first episode of S3 - which was months after the S2 - reunion, because she said she still wasn't over what she had said about her selling stories. She went on to make passive aggressive digs at her for the entire season, right up to the final episode. She held that grudge tightly, even though she got a very nice and what looked to be sincere apology from Adrienne. She held a grudge against Kyle all of S3 and most of S4. Reminding us time and time again of Kyle's betrayal. She certainly still holds a grudge against Rinna, delighting in watching her squirm. I've never understood what the problem here is. Holding a grudge isn't the most horrific character trait in the world. Many people struggle with this. The problem with LVP is that she works so hard to deny it with all of the "I am way too busy to worry about that kind of stuff". Just admit that it's hard to let things go and move the fuck on. 3 Link to comment

Allowing the cameras to be in the room with her to the point they have to blur her vagina aint quite it.

She seemed to get comfort from that, and maybe even some closure. Good for her if she did. It obliviously meant something to Kyle, and given how she displayed emotions about it when she usually tries to be very guarded about her family, it clearly had an effect on her, and for whatever reason, she chose to share that moment with Ericka. I guess mileage varies. They have a complicated relationship for sure, but to me it does seem Ericka loves her mother, which was also on display with her surprise appearance at her birthday party.

Rinna wasn't reduced to tears, she didn't cringe, she didn't get angry/upset........she laughed along side Lisa. That's because Rinna has no pride. She'll desperately do whatever she can to get back into LVP's good graces, even if that means she'll just keep taking whatever LVP throws at her in the hope that she'll be forgiven. Quote I've never understood what the problem here is. Holding a grudge isn't the most horrific character trait in the world. Many people struggle with this I don't either. Pointing out LVP holds a grudge just means that...she hold a grudge. People make it sound like it's on the same level as being accused of skinning alive blind kittens with cancer. Quote Don't blame her. I am holding grudges against Rinna as well. She deserves grudges. I never said I was or wasn't blaming her. Just that she is holding a grudge. Don't get me wrong, on some level, I am kind of enjoying seeing how long Rinna will tap dance to LVP's tune, and how far Rinna will go to appease LVP. 3 Link to comment

Is there any world where a person who watched the clip of Erika and PK dissecting pantygate wouldn't have been offended by the discussion? Any person on this show? Anyone who wouldn't have minded folks saying that maybe her bits were just available to any person to leer at any time? That a "lady" would close her legs and know better? We can wordsmith the "whore" label all day long, but does anyone think that they were saying something nice about her, or giving her a compliment? No, they were saying that she is "that kind of a girl". The loose kind of girl. The kind of girl who "does that". Any person would be mad about this. Any you know what, most spouses would be upset about it as well. I am trying to imagine what Ken's reaction would have been had he heard two people talking about LVP like that on camera.

It is kind of hard to have a discussion on the subject when the film with the exception of a very short moment shows a napkin on Erika's lap-and the napkin didn't move to create a view when LVP put her hand under the napkin. I am almost guessing the film clip they show won't be the one where Erika is exposed just to screw with the viewers. (see clip below it has the unearthed Erika crotch.) It isn't about Erika hate is about PK hate. Erika has said people who are offended by her are a waste of time. I would think that attitude could apply across the board. BTW it is pearls of wisdom such as those that lead others down the road of Erika's many contradictions. How are people suppose to act towards her when she claims the easily offended are essentially people she doesn't have time for. Will Erika feel better if PK and Dorit throw themselves on their knees and beg for forgiveness - no because she is incapable of forgiving or apparently remembering an apology. Will Erika feel better if PK said, "after giving it some thought I do think you are kind of a rancid old whore."? Erika just agreed with the description of her and her act as "raunchy" something Rinna has said about her in the past. What Erika wanted from PK and Dorit was respect and she just didn't earn it from either of them. Funny how that works when you set impossibly high standards and demand people earn your friendship and respect. Erika wants to malign and reject people because it makes her feel superior. BTW I have said Dorit was wrong in her words and panty presentation. I just don't get why after the two of them resolved things, why Erika's so called friends kept bringing it up. Ken's reaction to Erika and her announcing she was going commando made the Bravo pages- http://www.bravotv.com/the-real-housewives-of-beverly-hills/season-7/blogs/we-cant-stop-watching-ken-todds-reaction-to I would say his reaction was more on the disgusted side. All that happens when Ken sinks to the name calling level is others call him out for name calling. Like "wanker" Rinna. We will never know what Tom would have done because Erika had not told him of the incident as of three weeks ago. I think a lot of people could benefit from the term "throw away comment" if PK and Dorit aren't putting much stock in their poor attempts at humor, why should anyone else? 7 Link to comment

Jel April 8, 2017 Share April 8, 2017 I think Erika's real issue with pantygate was less about the flashing (she's not shy -- remember her on camera, but off stage nudie shot?), it was more about being made fun of and talked about in a less than reverent way. She was embarrassed, yes, but mostly because she was the butt of the joke, not because she flashed a little. Personally, I didn't like the panty gift and the post flash discussion. But there's kind of a surreal aspect to this whole thing because Erika has some responsibility in her own embarrassment, which she has never acknowledged, publicly anyway. She has morphed herself into a complete victim in this scenario, when she created in it by wearing what she did, sitting how she did and saying what she did. There could be no humiliation if she'd chosen differently. I feel like that fact is lost in Erika's mind. It's 1+1=3. No crime was committed, no sluts were shamed, it was just a bunch of dumbass choices all around. She didn't like being humiliated, but she was okay with Dorit being humiliated? She was happy about it? Come on. If you're going to take up the cause of "what's right" then the first rule of that is it must apply to everyone, not just you. Also looking at you here, Rinna and Eileen. Really, it's a lot like getting drunk at a party and making an ass of yourself. Rightly or wrongly, people will laugh about it. Most party drunks just regret their actions, but would Erika in that scenario? I think it'd be a similar reaction -- it'd be everyone else's fault for saying anything. She has a victim mentality, but with an aggressive, killer instinct twist. 13 Link to comment

Martinigirl April 8, 2017 Share April 8, 2017 Sorry, PK and Dorit's "humor" is not funny, it's calculated. (imo) I wasn't sure what I thought about Erika at the beginning....I do like that she calls BS when she sees it (including her friend Rinna) She gets big points for the "Rinna if you said "it" you have got to own it". On a side note - I don't think Erika realized how short the dress was until she sat. Notice the length of the dress when she left the restaurant? Just above the knee. Ken's reaction in the clip above - exact same reaction I have every time PK is on my telly. Maybe Ken was reacting to PK's skeevy leer and not Erika sans panties. That skeevy leer and Mini Me finger tapping was stomach churning. 5 Link to comment
zoeysmom April 8, 2017 Share April 8, 2017 Erika at the Daily Mail -her hemline is at her fingertips, which of course are above the knee and the dress is cut all the way up to the top of her right thigh. It is not really a form fitting dress and instead of worrying about pantylines she should have a chat with the designer and the creases in the dress from sitting. I don't get how people can wear a bra and then worry about panty lines. 6 Link to comment

I am almost guessing the film clip they show won't be the one where Erika is exposed just to screw with the viewers. (see clip below it has the unearthed Erika crotch.) Will Erika feel better if PK and Dorit throw themselves on their knees and beg for forgiveness - no because she is incapable of forgiving or apparently remembering an apology. Will Erika feel better if PK said, "after giving it some thought I do think you are kind of a rancid old whore."? Erika just agreed with the description of her and her act as "raunchy" something Rinna has said about her in the past. What Erika wanted from PK and Dorit was respect and she just didn't earn it from either of them. Funny how that works when you set impossibly high standards and demand people earn your friendship and respect. I think a lot of people could benefit from the term "throw away comment" if PK and Dorit aren't putting much stock in their poor attempts at humor, why should anyone else? The scene I am referring to is the one in the kitchen the next day where PK says he couldn't look away. That should be pretty easy to unearth. Since he has said in interviews since that he only looked once, I'd love to hear him offer his explanation. If expecting folks to not talk about my wardrobe malfunction the next morning and imply that I did it on purpose, and then go about implying it with other people after that, then I also set impossibly high standards for friendship. I would assume most people would feel the same way. The fact that PK and Dorit don't put much stock in what they say about other people doesn't mean that the recipients of their "humor" don't get to feel however they want about it. 3 Link to comment

Also, some people do wait a few days before apologizing to each other after a fight. It has happened a few times throughout history, I'm guessing, and is a normal human reaction. Some people just need a little bit of time to gain some perspective. Quote Eileen bought her way in with Erika with a role on her show, last season she was screaming in Rinna's face so Rinna is up her ass this season because she sees which way the wind blows, and Kyle is her "showgirl" friend. Well, that's how some people might see it. Many others see it differently. And with regards to Rinna...this whole franchise is full of women's friendships changing and evolving. Loots at LVP and Kyle and all the ups and downs they have had. Rinna and Ericka could have become friends just as much as any of the other women who didn't like each other at some point. Kyle regards her as a true friend, so I'll probably take her word on the subject. And as for Elieen...it is possible, just possible, that the two of them became better friends and bonded as the season went on. Edited April 8, 2017 by AndySmith 4 Link to comment

Was it directly from Dorit, or was the assumption that it may have been intentional from the Bravo staffer who wrote that description? It would be funny if someone else's interpretation was the real source of the drama. I agree with you that Dorit was, at least at some level, irked by Erika doing that. Her "you cross your legs!" remarks, several times, tells me as much. I don't know if she thought Erika did it intentionally, but I wouldn't be all that surprised if she did. Maybe in Dorit's mind she thought she went easy on Erika because she could have been much more upfront and much more embarrassing to Erika about it, and Erika should be grateful for Dorit's kid gloved approach instead of what she was really thinking. Just a guess. But having said that, so what if she and PK really did think she did it intentionally? Can't they have an opinion; and can't Dorit just have the opinion that it was a crummy thing to do? 4 Link to comment

Forgiving is the act of accepting an apology. An apology is the regretful acknowledgement of one's offense. They don't go hand in hand nor are the same act or interchangeable. You can give an apology and it not be accepted. Another can forgive without being tendered an apology. The comment was about Erika unable to forgive, she said as much, and it was what kick started the fight with Eileen in Hong Kong. Erika would not accept Dorit's apology. She wanted more and more and finally Eileen asked what it would take. Erika forgetting and then saying the apology wasn't sincere it just hogwash. Erika could not accept an apology. Whatever accord they reached that night is meaningless because it will be dissected at the Reunion.

Dorit did ask PK specifically if it turned him on and he said, "no." Perhaps Dorit is one of those women who just doesn't like her husband going to strip clubs, watching porn, or the like. Dorit seemed to go along with Rinna's table dance which was pretty much in PK's face. I don't know if it makes her jealous of Erika or insecure but it obviously made her uncomfortable. Kyle has similar territorial reactions when women get overly familiar with her husband. Erika from her party video seemed to be disappoint or at least pointed out that PK pretty much ignored her. 6 Link to comment

You may not like PK, but I don't think we've seen any indication that Dorit doesn't want to be married to PK or is jealous of Erika. Based on last season and things she's said this season, I would have said that Erika is the one who feels insecure in her marriage. The way Tom shut Erika down last season suggested that he doesn't really respect her. Erika's insistence that PK apologize to Tom and not her gave a very unsettling whiff a very retrograde quasi-chattel marriage view of the Girardi relationship. Just based on how I've seen them interact with their wives, PK seems like the superior husband because he seems to love and respect his wife. The way Tom shushed and shut Erika down last season suggested how imbalanced their relationship might be. Hell, I think Rinna is toxic and looney tunes, but clearly Harry has agreed to never undermine her in public. I don't know that I would have guessed that Paul and Adrienne's marriage was collapsing until it did. I'm still shocked that David stayed with Yolanda as long as he did. He has a history of running from his wives. We see so little of their lives to begin with and even less of their marriages. There is probably 20 or 30 minutes total of PK and Dorit footage for the entire season. It's hard to draw grand pronouncements based on that. I suspect there is even less footage of Erika and Tom over 2 seasons, but about 50% was pretty bad. 11 Link to comment

Regardless of Erika intent it will always be an etiquette breach to expose ones privates in public. Dorit certainly didn't handle the breach correctly. From the obnoxious thrice referencing of about crossing legs in a short skirt, to the rather public presentation of the panties. As far as assumptions and assigning intent to another there is plenty from both sides. From Erika's blog: "Watching Dorit and PK talk about my "hoo-ha" like they were devastated is strange to me." What, suddenly you're conservative now? PK represents ne of the most forward thinking, gender bending artist in music and Dorit herself says, "These things happen." So why is this such a topic of shock for them? On one hand you're offended, and on the other hand you understand, "these things happen"? Erika has shown her body in a variety of videos and been pretty open about being naked in front of her crew and the Bravo crew on camera. Because people on here have mentioned, me included, she has been buck naked in front of the crew, perhaps it was not so out of line to inquire if Erika has done this before. Maybe it is stereotyping just as deciding after three meetings and the knowledge of PK representing Boy George "suddenly conservative now? PK represents one of the most forward thinking gender bending artist,. . . " I would say Erika is doing exactly the same thing by pigeonholing Dorit and PK into a certain stereotype because of his job and his talent's sexual preferences. Since Erika did not know PK and Dorit before she is doing exactly what PK and Dorit have been accused of-judging and condemning based on their vocation. Maybe it is time for the cast to sit back, take a deep breathe and stop working overtime on basing their opinions on "implications" or "Everyone was implying it". I can understand that Erika is embarrassed because her actions made her the brunt of a joke (not without assistance from the other castmates-who grossly underestimated her potential for hurt) regardless of how many times she has strutted around naked and I can also understand how a husband and wife might be taken back by being exposed to another women's bare crotch regardless of who the husband represents in the music business and Erika's assertionthat talent is gender bending. I guess it is pretty safe to say one shouldn't assume Erika would be okay with being teased about her faux paus because of her career choice and PK and Dorit should not be forced to find it acceptable because PK represents a gay musician who wears make up and has androgynous tendencies. 8 Link to comment

We completely agree that Erika has a right to feel embarrassed--I know I would have been, so I can relate. I wish just once she would say, wow, what a dumb fashion choice I made. Has she said that, and acknowledged her role in it, she'd have pretty much full sympathy from me at this point, and I'd be team Erika on this one. But her refusal to even acknowledge she had any part in it is something I just can't get past, so it really weakens the argument for me. (I am pretty big on personal responsibility though, and that is for sure coloring my pov on this.). My take: Was Erika an asshole to go without underpants/sit legs uncrossed/say "I'm not wearing any"? No. Were PK and Dorit assholes for talking about it on camera/gifting underpants? Yes. Was Erika an asshole for being embarrassed? No. Was Erika an asshole for going in on Dorit like she did in HK and for not being honest with her about her feelings thereby denying Dorit the opportunity to know she'd hurt her, but instead discussing it with Rinna and Eileen and enjoying the Dorit attack session by Rinna? Yes. Was Dorit an asshole for not apologizing to Erika sooner (because she didn't know Erika was hurt because Erika said she was fine)? No. There were asshole and non-asshole moves all around. Post Hong Kong, I see it as about 50/50. But Erika seems to see it as all on Dorit and PK, which, to me, is incorrect and unfair. At best, they are guilty of a bad joke and careless conversation, at worst, of intentionally trying to humiliate Erika. I don't know what was their true intent, both pretty much suck if you ask me, but I also know that this situation was always Erika's to prevent. Her refusal to admit that means, to me, that she has adopted a victim stance, which I don't think is good. As always, MCM, an interesting and fun conversation :) 11 Link to comment

What else is reminiscent of making an unsubstantiated claim -oh that would be Rinna asking about the cocaine-as if she was asking if they didn't tip the wait staff. All Erika would have to say is, "no." I truly believe and since Erika said it, her anger and hurt stem from being the brunt of the joke. Everyone was pretty much in on the spread and Erika was treated to hearing about it not only on camera, but in front of her castmates (Eileen and RInna) who had a sneak peek of the panty presentation. I think her hurt is entirely reasonable and she doesn't have to be a victim. The rest of this nonsense about what people think of her is just an unneeded rationalization about why she is deservedly hurt. Having said that once you say you want to move on the offender has no way of knowing you are not done. As a matter of fact she said it is over when she says so. Tick tock Erika when will that happen. It is that sense of entitlement that makes her unlikeable to me.. 5 Link to comment

That has never been my position with her and pantygate. My issue has always been that if you aren't over it, don't say that you are! If your friends, Eileen and Rinna, bring up how hurt you were by it, turn to them and say "I appreciate what you're trying to do, but I don't want to revisit the topic." If Vanderpump wants to make snide jokes about it say "I was really hurt and embarrassed by that. Please don't make anymore jokes." But sitting there swallowing all of this shit, secretly keeping track of how many times you were wronged, and exploding because Dorit couldn't figure out that your "I'm over it" actually means that you aren't is not fundamentally fair. 10 Link to comment
