S07.E18: Diamonds Under Pressure

People here post assumptions all the time about the past and current actions of HWs, their motives, their marriages, etc, even though none of us are there with them and/or know the full story. Why should this be any different?

EDIT: You made a follow-up response so now I'm not sure if you were comparing what posters on here do compared to what the women do or if you were talking about the merit of debate on the forum. If it's the latter, then forget my post as it's irrelevant, lol.

So you think the expectations of being a bystander and a participant are exactly the same? Personally, my commentary is all in react to what I see on TV...kind of like how I would react to or have opinions about a character on a scripted TV show. It definitely comes across as more complex when you're talking about women who are playing themselves for the cameras but reactions are always in the context of the show. Though I can't help anyone who thinks that Lisa Rinna spends her Friday nights at dinner with people accusing them and/or their friends of doing coke.

But back to the point - as a bystander, you're free to interpret what you see with no consequences to the people involved in the actual incident. If you're a participant, making accusations based on assumptions or flat out lies, the expectation is different. That is far more malicious. For someone close to a person or situation to make claims would suggest probability to the claim compared to some random person saying something online with no ties to real sources (and is not pretending to be tied to any real source). I haven't come across anyone on this forum that has ever presented their opinions or even their snarky comments to be anything but their own point of view. And further, as a participant, it's dishonest to create a circular argument based on things that aren't true or may have been presented through their own interpretation rather than what was actually said. Anyone here can make their assumptions and interpretations - guess what? Everyone has the exact same footage to refer back to to clarify for themselves what did or didn't happen or what was or wasn't said. When these women are filming, they don't have the option of going to look back at the footage to double check if person x passed along information correctly. And the women certainly don't have any protection from others making claims that they said or did something that supposedly happened off camera and with no witnesses to substantiate it. I have to completely disagree that the commentary found on forums like this is anywhere near the same level of impact or effect as the commentary that assumed and misrepresented on the show.

You mean simply sticking up for her friend, the way Lisa always does for Dorit? That kind of unnecessary insertion?

And if interrupting means going off the rails, well, I have no idea anymore...

I was actually very impressed that LVP let Dorit fight her own battles instead of jumping in like Rinna and Eileen repeatedly do. That isn't to say that Lisa hasn't said anything, (ie. "Oh come now....",). I think comparing how LVP behaves vs. the other two is akin to comparing apples and oranges.

Speculation can be fun when you aren't accusing people of doing drugs and or being close to death eh Lisa R?

The smoke came from Kim, she was vaping. Lisa went the other way when she left the cameras view. Kim also walked up with those ecig/vape things in her hand

I thought Dorit looked stunning at the party with her foil hair and dress. She had her daughter about 3 months before I had mine last year and I can't get over how well she snapped back. I'm assuming she carried her babies herself, not Adrienne Maloof style... but I don't know for sure. Either way, I'm jealous of her post baby body and her style! #teamdorit

Well in the post to which I was responding (retrieved and pasted next for your viewing pleasure) and I had trimmed for length, which, clearly one should never do, you said (note the bold, if you would):

So maybe it's a matter of interpretation but IMO, you called those crazy Rin-Hams liars.

No trimming (to be safe and for clarity) on the next quote to which I'm responding. But focus on the bold:

 

 

Not seeing the connection. They all skirt the truth and don't seem all that concerned about the discrepencies. A bigger issue to me is Lisar copping to unemployment fraud by working under the table while collecting. However, Kyle has talked at great length about driving herself to work when she was too young to be licensed. So Lisar violated State and Fed unemp laws and Kyle may have violated State of CA motor vehicle and car insurance laws. Hey! I wonder how many times Kim violated the CA DUI laws?

When I was a kid I was taught, "everybody does it" is not a defense.  I find Rinna and Hamlin to be disingenuous.  A little of little skirting the truth, a little embellishing and in my opinion it leads me to believe that much of what comes out of Rinna's mouth is not truthful. I do not believe she quoted LVP correctly about bringing Kyle into it, after a mountain of evidence of Rinna not being truthful.  As I have seen on the video tapes and various examples I have given, her accounts are short on veracity and long on manipulation and shading of the truth.

There is a certain irony that you mention the violation of the unemployment code.  When Rinna was telling the story, Heather McDonald interjected that Rinna was breaking the law.  Rinna just laughed it off.  You kind of brought this other extemporaneous stuff up-it has nothing to do with why I feel Rinna and Hamlin lie and why I find her constant rewriting of the truth both unseemly and harmful to the franchise as a whole.

You brought up Rinna working under the table, not me. I simply responded to your comment and used Kyle and Kim as examples of how this kind of dubious behavior is hardly exclusive to Lisar.

Ever wonder what one has to lay out monthly to always be the most fabulous RHOBH for clothes and make-up?  The Erikas claim a cool $40k A MONTH.

I brought this over here because Erika did her serious, listen to me talk and then go sidetracked and forgot Dorit had offered an apology.  So here is the article and Erika claims it is her job being on TV so that is why she spends so much on hair, make-up and clothes.  After sharing her excess she concludes with, "the older you get the more comfortable you get in your own skin.  That takes time though."  And apparently $40k a month. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-4386838/Erika-Jayne-says-spend-fortune-job.html?ITO=1490

Erika has only been filming on TV for a total of seven months in 2016/2017.  A few other appearances connected with the show and now of course DWTS-but they have costumes for those appearances.

At times I don't think Erika realizes how often she contradicts herself.  I think she should recuse herself from any talk of hypocrisy or contradictions.  She truly is a pretty mess.

I wonder how much of that $40,000.00 a month is salary for her minions glam squad?

Lisa Rinna is like zika, ebola, or an extinction level event. She's a threat so toxic that it unites people in order to overcome the threat. I find Erika to be a smug duplicitous marginally talented condescending asshole. You think that Dorit is a pretentious shit stirring phony. However, we're united by our common belief that Rinna's behavior is out of line. We are the oil well drillers teaming up with the astronauts to destroy the asteroid in Armageddon. Rinna is that asteroid. Her behavior has been so odious and out of line this season (so has Porsha Williams' on RHoA) that I would love if the show just shipped Rinna to Orange County (Porsha too).

I would love a franchise of the damned where the cast is only assholes from the other franchises:

• Jill Zarin
• Aviva
• Vicki
• Kelly Dodd
• Rinna
• Brandi
• Nene
• Porsha
• Phaedra

So if Erika's RHOBH salary is maybe in the $250,000.00 range, generous for a second year RH, that means she spends almost twice as much, if not three times as much on hair, make up and clothes.  Clothes for TV personalities aren't even deductible:  https://www.forbes.com/sites/robertwood/2011/03/01/claiming-tax-deductions-for-clothing/#398587101281 nor is make up:  https://www.etax.com.au/personal-grooming-expenses/  Costumes yes, everyday wear not so much.  I am thinking Bravo doesn't have a dress code.  It truly is expensive to be the ERIkas.  I wonder if Tom gets to deduct two based on the Erikas dual personalities?

I cannot help but wonder what vile acts that Erika Jayne/Girardi has committed against the members of her "Glam Squad" to cause them to be so pissed off with her. Watching her in Diamonds and Rose brought Pennywise from IT to mind. Frightening. 

I am picturing Mikey and the "squad" all sitting together with their friends on Tuesday nights, munching popcorn and drinking wine, giggling like 13 year old girls."  Oh the hilarity over the pink cotton candy wig with way too much forehead. Yeah, next level.

[lunastartron]

Upon second viewing, there are even more inconsistencies with Erika's bullshit.

Most notably, near the conclusion of the episode, Erika chastises Dorit "I wish I had heard this [Dorit's apology] weeks ago." So Dorit was supposed to know via telepathy that Erika's pronouncements regarding the issue as being resolved and finished weren't true? And I guess she should have also psychically gleaned that Erika was specifically worried about these mysterious third parties who somehow know both the Kemsleys and Tom running over to Girardi Keese and telling the old man that his wife had tried to sexually entice another man? 

Erika initially claimed that she didn't remember Dorit's apology in Hong Kong but when PK also asserted that Dorit had already delivered a mea culpa, Erika protested, "but it wasn't sincere!" How does one know if an apology is sincere if one doesn't remember it? Maybe the same way Tom knew but didn't know about the allegations against his wife?

Despite her insistence on "accountability for the words that come out of" others' mouths, Erika is still maintaining in the preview that someone called her a "whore." Even Eileen, who is somehow not accountable for suggesting Erika made the choice to deliberately expose herself, never said she was a prostitute, slut, or "whore." 

Honestly, it's more than a little weird that there's a pattern emerging in which Erika hears things that no one said (i.e. "don't you ever criticize" law enforcement or her son; "don't you ever bring up my kid") and yet doesn't hear things that people clearly did say (i.e. "It almost looks like you're doing it intentionally"; "I'm shy!").

I second the person that said Rinna is a sociopath. I have suspected it for a long time-the way she was with her elderly parents was the first tipoff. There was quite obviously no true, deep feeling for them-she very rarely even bothered with them or brought her daughters to see them. Too many chub-chubs around those parts.

Lisa Rinna is all about surface things and appearances. Even after she hurls vile insults at people the next time she sees them she will be smiling her huge smile, air kissing them and saying, "helloooo" as if nothing ever happened.  I have known her type. All fake and upbeat but deep inside they are mean and have no soul or empathy. Sociopaths are also (usually) narcissists like Ms. Rinna.

Which is why her girls are such shallow, snobby douches. I see Harry Hamlin in a different light now knowing that he has been married to this nasty woman for twenty years. Shudders.

I don't hate PK like most do. I loved the way he stood up for his wife and in a very calm manner too. Erika is a fucking joke. If you don't kiss her ass and bow down to her she has NO use for you. Inherently cold is damn dead-on! It is laughable trying to picture her having a passionate moment with Tom Girardi. Yea...that never happened. Not once. Erika has no passion or heat in her.

Wow Eileen. Even though Erika snarled at you to "FUCK OFF" (or "fuck you"-forgot) numerous times in Hong Kong sounding like a demon, you still kiss her ass and take on PK for her? Alrighty then.

Lisa Rinna is all about surface things and appearances. Even after she hurls vile insults at people the next time she sees them she will be smiling her huge smile, air kissing them and saying, "helloooo" as if nothing ever happened.  I have known her type. All fake and upbeat but deep inside they are mean and have no soul or empathy. Sociopaths are also (usually) narcissists like Ms. Rinna.

Which is why her girls are such shallow, snobby douches. I see Harry Hamlin in a different light now knowing that he has been married to this nasty woman for twenty years. Shudders.

I don't hate PK like most do. I loved the way he stood up for his wife and in a very calm manner too. Erika is a fucking joke. If you don't kiss her ass and bow down to her she has NO use for you. Inherently cold is damn dead-on! It is laughable trying to picture her having a passionate moment with Tom Girardi. Yea...that never happened. Not once. Erika has no passion or heat in her.

Wow Eileen. Even though Erika snarled at you to "FUCK OFF" (or "fuck you"-forgot) numerous times in Hong Kong sounding like a demon, you still kiss her ass and take on PK for her? Alrighty then.

Kyle and Lisa's friendship=the best part of RHOBH. And Kyle and Mauricio's marriage.

ita with all of this! and thanks for reminding us how dismissive she was of her parents. that was a huge red flag. i remember now at the time that aired my dad was at the end stage of dementia and i spent as much time as possible with him, because no matter how sad it made me, it made him smile. she really is soulless and i  think labeling her as a sociopath is straight on.

I used to 'sort of' like Erika for some strange reason but I don't anymore because she's just too weird. That episode with her mother was sort of telling about how her mother raised Erika and it sounds like she's holding some deep resentments about it. She really doesn't give off a very warm and friendly vibe. Her face is just too frozen from all her Botox and the 'arrangement' she and Joe Girardi have is definitely an open relationship. They are apart from each other most of the time and I'm sure they each have other sexual partners.

I'm sick of Lisa Rinna and her attitude and I'm glad the season is over because I don't even want to hear her voice anymore, she's sickening.

Eileen is still okay as far as I'm concerned. I'm never tired of seeing Lisa Vanderpump's fancy home and parties and like it when she shows a little more 'down to earth-ness' and she has shown that a little more this season. Dorit is okay when she's not doing that stupid accent or wearing gold leaf on her head. Eden Sassoon seems like a last minute throw on. She's unnatural and forced. Her outburst with Lisa Rinna seemed to be some bad acting in a high school play. I sort of like Kyle this season, more than I had in previous seasons.

Have we ever seen Erika host a charity event or even speak of one she's involved in? Is she passionate about anything other than how she looks? Cause I'm all for looking good but the amount of time and money she puts into herself is beyond ridiculous and a fraction of her upkeep expenses could do a lot of good somewhere else. I just see her as incredibly shallow and self absorbed.
