In this case the dude is also the owner/publisher of the magazine so would have the ability to overrule, especially because it's pretty clear that Lisa is just editor in name only.

I didn't blame them for "axing" her out of the magazine! I would never put up with Dorit's BS whining and then reward her with great pics so she can continue being an obnoxious b!tch! LVP probably should have told her, but Dorit did this to herself! ;-)

Kyle is always happy to listen to anything Lisa wants to share about anything that is upsetting to her, like that one time Lisa wanted to talk about her lawsuit at dinner.

And yes, Dorit did make a stink but LVP made the final decision of cutting off Dorit's head.  I have no problem with that but  LVP needed to own up to that.

So I have a question - does someone with LVP's resume get named editor-in-chief often, or is she just sort of an "honorary" one due to her level of "fame" in BH?

Jeez, that diatribe between Teddi and Erica went on and on.... I kid you not, I actually fell a sleep for a bit and when I woke up they were still at it!!

I don't blame them, either! Dorit was a colossal asshole during that shoot and deserved to have her head cut off. There is no way she could have watched that segment when it aired and not felt total embarrassment at her behavior. Oh, wait, this is Dorit we're talking about...

See biakbiak's post above. The artistic Director/Editor is the magazine's owner/publisher, so he has the final say, not Lisa and he was very upset at Dorit/her behavior. I think she is EIC because she is good at what she does and because she is popular as a BH HW.

[JAYJAY1979]

Kyle plays the victim...she is do exhausting.  Her husband deserves a medal putting up with her.

Erika is the complete opposite..so cold.

Dorit is the perfect example of priviledge.  Anyone that asks me for an example, I forward them links to Dorit on the show.

It appears that LVP has an arrangement where she is the "face" of the publication and no doubt opines about the various profiles and images -- but how much power she has over editorial and creative decisions (other than to say she wants to do a story on X or do a fashion shoot featuring Y) is debatable. Look at the staff page:

Lisa's image is large and color (and dangerously approaching cat-woman territory) whereas everyone else is a small-by-comparison B&W shot. I was amused to see Pandora is the executive editor (just shaking my head on that one), and Trista and Ryan from one of those Bachelor shows are editorial contributors.

I can see Kyle pitching a show about two sisters who join a reality show and one has a drinking problem. Oh wait, she will gender swap it, so it will now be two brothers joining a reality where one has a drinking problem. See totally not about Kyle's life at all. She is just so stealthy.

Ooh, I have a suggestion! The main alcoholic character can be called Richard Kims! See... totally different!

To me on both RHOBH and on VPR, were they also focused a little on the magazine though not the Dorit thing it seemed clear that it was a figurehead position with no real power and she wouldn't be doimg the day to day work of an actual Editor-in-Chief.

LVP truly resents her character or integrity being challenged, but she's been busted more than a few time times with video proof of her shady old arse! I will always remember her spinning a yarn to "stay in the game" with Erika that 1st season! Eileen had given Erika a script for her BD to see if she'd appear on that SOAP of hers! LVP couldn't stand it and told Erika that Eileen had asked her to "be on the show as well!" It was BS with the clip showing Eileen giving LVP a tour of the studio and Lisa begging "for a line!" Eileen was totally ignoring her as they walked along the corridor! I really wasn't watching much back then and even I felt Eileen can't be on LVP's bud list and she had a lot of nerve even thinking she deserved such a "gift!" ;-)

No, the artistic director/editor usually makes those calls and we all saw/heard him say that he refused to use Dorit's photos because she, Dorit, made a stink about how bad they were. I don't blame him, Dorit was rude to the magazines makeup/hair stylist people/camera person and even to him. He was the one that decided to reshoot everything with a different model, not Lisa, In the end though, those photos were not very good, so they went with Dorit's original photos minus her head/face, which is what Dorit thought they were to be anyway, so there shouldn't have been an issue. And there wouldn't have been an issues without Rinna's/Erika's stirring the pot. 

Thank you, thank you. I have been yelling this at the tv for the last few episodes. Everyone forgets that the photo shoot was only supposed to be her hands and decolletage in the first place. I agree with whomever made the decision to "cut off her head". Dorit was such an ass during the shoot and think she got what she deserved.

I know - I thought the same thing!  Well, it wasn't her family so I guess she wasn't that interested?

Mauricio's parents were born in Mexico City.  His mother has siblings that were born in 1936-so I am thinking they were pretty safe from  the Nazis.  I think Mauricio mentioned he was Greek, Turkish, Mexican and Peruvian.  Kyle might want to brush up on her children's heritage.  Dad was born in Mexico City and grew up in Bel Air might need some additions to the family tree.

If the magazine were a serious publication they would not care one bit what went on behind the seasons, they would run the best photos.  Punishment would have been to take Dorit out entirely of her freebie modeling day.  I doubt Vogue cuts models heads off because they were naughty on set-then again they most likely pay their models.

The shoot was for Vanderpump's jewelry line I would say she had total control of the content,  plus she enjoyed the confessional crack she made about "off with her head".  This is one time Vanderpump should have employed the British humor line and moved on.

Well we have Kyle to thank for bringing it up at Dorit's event.  As if she didn't know the answer.  

Obviously there was an audible and they decided to change.  Why waste the time making Dorit up if they weren't going to use her face?  Winnie Harlow, a professional ,odel and Brad Goresky boh said LVP was wrong to cut off Dorit's head.  Winnie was surprised to hear Dorit and LVP were friends.

THIS. Plus, contrary to what idiot Vyle said, it is totally untrue that 'everyone lost someone during the war'. 

Not every family lost someone in the war (mine didn't, with the possible exception of a very distant relative, and I mean very distant). Furthermore, if Kyle had a brain or add to learn about Mauricio's family, she would know that he's probably Sephardic being Mexican, and likely did not lose anyone in the war. And last but by no means least, it felt to me like DUHRit was making up that's family Holocaust story as the words were stuttering out of her pie hole.

 

I don't understand why Teddi agreed with Erika that they had to have it out 'this way'. Erika is a cheap, tacky, pathetic gold digging bitch and she should not be asked back.p, not given a platform to bully other women.

 

Kyle is just full of shit all the time. She really is a moron.

 

LVP is an old bag who thinks she's a damn Queen, she ain't. Talking about all the material shit she owns isn't what I would call classy. And her plea that the audience should give DUHrit another chance says to me that stupid DUHRit is scared about being fired because of all negative backlash on social media about her, and I'd bet good money she's making PKs life a living hell over it, and he begged LVP to say something nice about her on the reunion to get her to STFU at home. I would bet money that's what that little comment was about.

I am really glad that LVP let Erika know how aggressive she had been, and that if Erika had spoken to her in that manner, she would have been hurt, too.

This is kind of rare.  I fast forwarded through a lot of this show and it even fast forwarded slow.  Like, I looked at the time during one of the moments I watched and it said 20 minutes of show time had gone by.  But it felt like I had been fast forwarding for 20 minutes.

And Erica's ability to gaslight is masterful.  Masterful.  "That's on you, Teddi, if you hate when I snap at you.  That has nothing to do with me."

Right!

I wanted Teddi to be like "no, bitch its on you because you're rude and disrespectful to me every chance you get. So, you're accountable for your nasty behavior. "

Just because Erika says "I'm an asshole to everyone....giggle " doesn't excuse that she is rude, it dosent make it cute or quirky.  It makes you someone that dosent care how you make others feel. I can be bitchy and have been an asshole at times but Im not proud of it or wear it like a badge of honor. I'm actually embarrassed if I treat people in a  disrespectful way.

Erika showed her ass once again tonight. She’s really such a condescending assahole who is 100% phony. Erika brings nothing REAL to the table whatsoever, yet all the ladies (well most) are intimidated by her and won’t fully stand up to her. When she starts yelling, the recipients of her ire tend to immediately back down and retract their statements. So unless they plan to bring on a new hw who can actually engage with her - and NOT be intimidated when she ratchets up her deep mean voice and crazy eyes- she can exit stage left.

Given the short history between Teddi and Erika, leading up to the beach overnight, I might have been just as sensitive as Teddi. It would seem directed at me personally . I quick whisper in the ear, or pull aside would have been nice. Please don't argue, I need to leave overnight, see you in the morning.

Erika feels accountable to no one, and thats how she makes people feel. She has a bit of Cartman in her "i do what I want".

Exactly. Not to mention this was IN Teddi’s home. I would be even more floored if I invite a new co-worker (errr I mean “acquaintance”) over to my home, and she not only left without saying anything-but was also a cold shrew to me the next morning.

I know we're shown very limited interaction between the couples but it's never seemed to me that Kyle and Mauricio have deep conversations.  It's usually about how hot they are for each other, how in love they are, etc.  Plus, given Kyle's penchant for drama I have a feeling that most of their conversations revolve around how she feels.  She just doesn't appear to be that interested in other people's lives/feelings.  Just IMHO.

I got a chuckle at the end of the show when Andy came out with champagne for them to toast with. There were beer steins for the ladies with an option for Dorit to have her proper champagne glass. To me that was the last straw. She could have accepted the stein and go along with everyone else showing she could be a team player and allow a wee bit of fun at her expense. Nah, she wanted to make her point and had to take the glass rather than find the humor in the situation by accepting the stein (which was good enough for everyone else). She sucks the bubbles out out a bottle.

LOL at this .......

 

Teddi! “Amnesia” is a very rare occurrence, mostly popularized by television shows and fanfiction about television shows. When Erika wasn’t remembering whatever you needed her to, it would have been ludicrous for you to say she had real amnesia, Teddi! Any amnesia you were perplexed by Erika having in that moment would have to be fake, i.e. pretend. Fo example, you had not seen this woman be struck by a runaway dumpster, nor hit over the head by Mikey in attempt to wear her skin like a coat, nor star in a Sandra Bullock rom-com. It was perfectly reasonable, and characteristically lame for you to describe Erika’s lack of memory as pretend amnesia because unless Erika is extending her guest stints from Young and the Restless to Grey’s Anatomy, she could never have had the real thing.

This is all not to suggest that Teddi is in the wrong for not liking the way Erika almost incinerated her to ash like Voldemort’s face in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (are you sensing a theme here?) — just that Teddi could have explained further how it was unwarranted for Erika to nearly go full “Dracarys, Drogon” (uh oh, fantasy series switch-up!) on her for suggesting that she might not have a rare medical condition that caused her to forget her whole life. Instead, Erika went to every length possible on Tuesday night to suggest it was totally fine for her to eat Teddi like a hobbit’s second breakfast (am I losing you?) for saying she had pretend amnesia, and further, that the fault was in Teddi for simply perceiving her pure, unadulterated fury incorrectly. All Teddi needed to tell Erika about the pretend amnesia comment: It’s just really not that deep, babe.

Team Erika here for the beach trip. I've had horrible periods and turned down plans because of them. And I had the worst vacation of my life at a campground while dealing with it. So, she told people she was sick, finished her filming commitment like a professional, and went off to get out of the spotlight and be sick in private. And then came back to Teddi being butt hurt about her leaving? I'd have handed her coffee and asked what else she needed. That's what a real hostess does. Erika reacted out of embarrassment and anger, and she had every right to.

I think one point Teddi kept trying to make -- which Erika never addressed -- was the fact that Erika's assistant was already at the hotel.  Why, if Erika decided to go to a hotel somewhat spontaneously?  Teddi's house was in Dana Point, right?  Which, if you're driving, I'm going to guess takes around 75-90 minutes with relatively light traffic.  (I'm not from CA, but I actually had to drive from LA to Dana Point once and I remember it taking a while.)  Does Erika regularly require assistants to be "nearby" or on standby?  It almost seems like she can't do a single thing on her own without paid help.  And, I'm not sure why this is being laid at Teddi's feet -- it seems like they ALL talked about it (not in a being mad way, but in a "hey it was kind of weird that she left" way) and probably wouldn't even have said any thing about it if Dorit hadn't made it into a bigger deal than it was.

LVP got backed into a corner on the Dorit photo shoot and tried to talk her way out of it.  But, in the end, LVP is the editor and does get the final say.  Was it payback to Dorit?  IMO, yes.  Take responsibility LVP. 

The other explanation -- which no one dared mention -- is that when they looked at the pictures they agreed with Dorit that her face looked horrible and decided not to hurt her feelings by telling her that was the reason.  Instead it's easier/kinder to say it was because of her attitude.  And, if Dorit wasn't expecting her face to be photographed, whined about the makeup, then complained once she actually saw some of the shots that she looked bad, why is she all of a sudden having feelings about the pictures showing exactly what she expected in the first place? -- in theory, she got what she expected/wanted.  You can't really have it both ways -- you can't complain about how your face looked AND complain they they didn't show your face.

I personally don't even get it when everyone has to say marriage is "a lot of work" - be kind, don't do the things that you know drives the other nuts, have separate tvs.  Not so difficult.  But having to "work" at casual friendships?  Give me a break.  I do have difficult friends, so I limit time with them and it's fine.  These gals are all so much work, and so petty, that I can't believe they treat their real-life friends like they treat "this group".  Which of course is the show :)

Me too!  I actually think marriage is easy -- as long as you marry someone that you would genuinely want as a friend and actually talk about things before you get married, so that you're on the same page regarding expectations (how money will be handled, how many kids do you want, etc. etc.).  It's amazing to me that people get married without talking about and agreeing about some of those things.

Every time they show that clip of Erika in the latex halting for the cyclist, I laugh at her expression (and the sort-of look directly at the camera), but -- boy -- I think she looks ridiculous in that latex.  I realize that I might be in the minority on that one.  I think it looks horrible -- I'm around her age (generally), but I'm somewhat old-fashioned, I guess (and, apparently cranky this morning...LOL).

Seriously Kyle - the Glass House show is going to be about a female who starts her own real estate agency leaving her job as an RA for her mother in law?

What's next? Off The Wagon Sister - the story about a PA who works for her famous sister who has a drinking problem?

Yeah I can tell you are going to be making up with Kathy and Kim real soon

I have to wonder why Kyle has to make all these silly "ideas" of hers into tv shows. They're hardly ideas, they are her life with thinly veiled changes - not very imaginative. She cries about being alienated from her sisters, yet she feels the need to produce these  dreadful (judging be the few minutes of American Women we saw) loser shows. Is she that stupid?

I can't help thinking about the crazy Alison telling her Mauricio would never fulfill her emotionally. Could that be the issue here? (in addition of course to her mommy - sister issues) She still has Portia home, has all the $ in the world, a couple of stores, her spot on this show. I'm not saying that women shouldn't pursue any dreams outside of family, but geez, she needs to come up with something better than crappy tv pilots.

Erika dresses as if she's going to be featured in a heavily editorialized photo shoot (or a Moschino ad) every time she leaves the house it would seem.  You're not old fashioned, Erika is a ridiculous facsimile of a human.

How could Kyle not know if Mauricio lost family in the Holocaust? 

Because she is vapid and dumb as a rock? That was a jaw dropper.

She’s also a little long in the tooth for some of these fashion statements that she’s trying to make. Clinging to her youth?

Kyle's new teeth really gave her a different look.  I don't understand why people are always screwing with their teeth.  I don't recall her having "bad" teeth to begin with, did she?  She must have run out of things to focus on in the mirror that day.  That thing she does with her mouth constantly, the clamping of the lips, drives me batty.  I'm assuming she's trying to smooth out the filler, lol.

Me thinks she's clinging to a lot of things.

But the plan was always for it not to show her face, so this storyline seems ridiculous.

[paraphrasing]

”I look horrible!”

”I would have preferred to use my own makeup people, Leee-sah!”

”These photos are terrible.”

”I don’t like them.”

”Dreadful.”

LVP: Would you have wanted them to appear in the magazine?

Dorit: Well, yes!

 

She’s such an idiot.

Erika’s bitch persona is classic ‘hurt them before they hurt me’ personified.

 

edit: I am soooo over that attitude.... so boring to watch her pissy attitude all the time.

I actually don't even think she's that deep.  Sometimes, people are just bitchy because they're bitches.
