Brandi Glanville: Drinking and Tweeting - a book and a lifestyle!

[cooksdelight]

Brandi can't stay off Twitter. I think she must sleep with her phone in her hand, buzzing her awake if someone posts something.

Yep.  I think she was tweeting at 3 am saying she wouldn't be tweeting.

[ryebread]

I still don't understand why she hates Kyle so much. 

 

I still say it has everything to do with Kyle being a raging bitch the first night they met.  Add grudge holder to the long list of negative qualities Brandi has.

Kim was worse to Brandi overall, imo, and what apologies were ever made came from Kyle. Kim still thinks she was the true victim on Game Night. (And Kyle done 'em both wrong is the new view, I guess)

I still don't really understand why Brandi's gone down this path. Kyle was open to including her and improving their relationship, and Kyle is one of the show anchors. Allying with Kim is more like trying to swim with an anchor. If this is solely calculation, it's stupid calculation.

The only thing I can think is back to the toasts at Brandi's housewarming where Kim was giving Brandi the googly eyes like she used to give her Bull Mastiff and was all, "Brandi, I love you. No, I really love you. I LOOOVE YOOUUU...." And Kyle was all, "So, I've spent some time getting to know Brandi, and it's been good. Well, it's been okay, yeah, okay is the word I'm looking for..." Brandi is incredibly emotionally reactive. Maybe she really, really needs that emotional enmeshment, the total, middle school "you are my best, BEST friend", and part of that is shutting out all rival friends and sharing enemies. It's sad and damaged and unhealthy as all hell, but it's not a cold calculation.

Brandi decided to shut down her twitter last night.  Unfavorable reviews.

This is the tweet from two nights ago:

I'm getting off Twitter for tonight! You only see what they show that's it ! Bye Felicia

 

 

Brandi Glanville @BrandiGlanville  ·  9h 9 hours ago

Ok I'm going to sleep - I get you all have opinions on me & that is what I signed up for and I just want to say thank you for thinking of me

This tabloid story is much ado about nothing.  Just because someone doesn't continue tweeting, it doesn't mean they "shut down their twitter."  That is something else entirely.  She spent time both nights tweeting and replying to people.  And there were many posters fighting back and forth with each other - not necessarily with Brandi - over comments.  And believe it or not, many posters were defending Brandi.  She gets tons of negative comments to every single tweet she posts - she's used to them - and she also gets positive comments.  It was the same that night. Brandi usually isn't a fool with twitter.  It isn't often that she will do something like the recent tweet where she accused Andy of bullying that was subsequently deleted.

 

People may be hoping she was chased off by negative fans, but I think if she were, two nights ago it was Bravo telling her to get off because they were afraid she was going to say something about what was edited out.  She was tweeting about editing and what wasn't shown in a couple of tweets.  

 

As for her comment about Bella, Yolanda saying something about being an alcoholic and Brandi says, "They said that about your daughter."  I don't think this is the big smoking gun people are trying to make this out to be.  ITA that Yolanda has already learned her lesson with Brandi.  But I don't think she is going to break from Brandi over this.  

 

Brandi is saying "I am not an alcoholic bc I have gotten drunk just like Bella isn't an alcoholic bc she got a DUI."  I am not arguing the merit of Brandi's argument because I think there may be substance abuse issues at play on BH - although her stint on Celeb Apprentice has me questioning it. But Brandi did not say Bella is an alcoholic.  

 

I don't think Yolanda is not going to make a big deal, she'll just keep it as another reason to keep Brandi at a friendly arm's length.  Yolanda out of everyone seems to be playing to dine and dash lady this season.

I don't recall reading anywhere that people have said Bella is an alcoholic.  If the "they" are her cast mates, then shame on them.  I just don't believe anyone (except maybe Kim) would utter such a thing.   Brandi should not have other cast member's children's name in her mouth in any sort of negative connotation.

 

I believe Brandi refuses to realize that there are different forms of alcoholism.  There are the physically dependent, maintenance drinker, there are binge alcoholics, there are people who when the drink excessive or not, engage in socially unacceptable behavior.   Brandi has had a DUI, clearly alcohol impairs her judgment, she has had several very public displays of bad behavior  while drinking, her drinking and subsequent behavior has had an effect on several of her personal and professional relationships.  I don't think Brandi learned much in her court ordered alcohol education classes.  To Brandi, it is being able to sustain a period of abstinence be it the time period she has her children or an arbitrary number of days on a calendar.  Maybe because Brandi makes money off her drinking persona she feels as if she has some sort of immunity to alcoholism but she doesn't.   

 

The fact that Brandi did not appear drunk on camera for the run of Celebrity Apprentice, does not prove she isn't an alcoholic, it just proves there was no documented drinking during filming during that 30 day period.  Brandi did however, rely on anti-anxiety medication and in fact left a challenge due to an alleged anxiety attack.  Brandi drinks gets upset and interacts poorly with others be it in person or on twitter or through text messages.  Maybe the order is reversed and she gets upset, drinks and interacts poorly.  In any event Brandi needs to stop drinking and truly get some help.  Just not drinking is not enough for her she needs some tools to help with her sobriety.

 

Brandi talks of her opportunities on Celebrity Apprentice to show her business side as if it is a real business situation.  Does she think anyone they have shown on the show would hire her as a spokesperson with her foul mouthed Podcast or her drunken and sober tirades on RHOBH or WWHL?  To me throughout her tenure she has been mediocre and the fact she has not been fighting is irrelevant to sponsors-business people are not suppose to fight.  She has had a fair amount of insults directed at her co-workers-which is never appreciated.

 

The one thing Brandi has fallen into and it comes from her days as the unchallenged truth cannon.  In her blog she acts as if Kyle on air asking about Kim's hospitalization was the first time Kim and Kyle had talked.  Low blow Brandi, she knows Kyle had been to see her at the hospital,  The only way Kyle can escape being accused of telling Kim's secrets is for the words to come from Kim's mouth on camera.  One by one in her blog she goes after all the RH for reacting to her behavior.  In spite of all the negative feedback Brandi still doesn't get it -don't come between two sisters.

[hottesthw]

Brandi doesn't have any competition on CA. There are no younger, hotter, skinnier women to take the attention off of her. No happy marriages being shown. And no alcohol. The closest thing to a hot woman is Kenya and that's who she's had most issues with. If Joyce was on CA I guarantee we'd see the BH Brandi front and center. Brandi is a very jealous person.

[Cranky One]

Brandi's ego has gotten the best of her. She totally believes she can do not wrong. Someone PLEASE knock her down.

[phoenix780]

I'm curious about one thing with her. 

 

Right now she's all about Kim- protecting her, knowing her feelings; etc.  So...if Kim asked Brandi to leave her alone, because it would help with her avoidance of alcohol and the stupidity it can bring...would Brandi back off?  Or, would she get insulted and immediately reveal any deep dark secrets she's learned about Kim and Kim's family?

 

I guess I'm just wondering how far her loyalty would go if she didn't get whatever she gets from feeling like she's someone's confidante.  And I don't know why I'm wondering that, because I don't care all that much.  Weird.

[zoeysmom]

Brandi tweeted earlier today she is headed back to California (from NYC) and then it was her big sister (gee why not just my sister) is going in for hip surgery.  Want to bet Brandi is headed to Sacramento to be by her side.  IS it just because Brandi is only with her family for the cameras?

Well, I think that's nice that she's trying to find some more painkillers for her new BFF Kim.

Kyle would never go that far....,

[talula]

She's been bringing a steady stream of STFU for awhile...is she fulfilling Andy Cohen's purpose as a member of the RHOBH? Brandi certainly has had a role in stirring up the other cast members and seems comfortable almost proud of her performance. Though most of the time she seems more suited to the cast of RHONJ.  At times she seems more fitting as a waitress at SUR, LisaV's restaurant, rather than a high rolling BH housewife. 

 

Why do you think Andy added Brandi to the show?  Is this how she wishes her children to see her and the world to remember her?

[Umbelina]

Some of Brandi's blog was dumb, especially the title, but I thought she made some great points as well.  I think she really believes we are not seeing all of it, and because of that it's more favorable to Kyle.  Who knows?  To me, Kyle looked pretty bad.

 

We see that everyone, and I do mean EVERYONE, had to hear how upset she was. She made the circuit, turning every conversation to her drama. Not exactly my idea of a hostess making her guests feel comfortable. It might have been better to keep things to herself, not make a big deal, and make sure everyone had a great, comfortable time, but, no, it was all about Kyle, as it always has to be.

 

 

Agree, Kyle had to bitch to everyone, get them on "her side."  It pretty much reminded me of a high school move, gather your gang.  Credit to a couple of her friends who really tried to talk sense into her.

 

I gave her a hug hello, a smile, and said nothing about anything, because I really wanted a calm night. Later when Kyle bee-lined over to me with the fake apology I accepted it–twice–quietly. But we all know it was just an insincere opening to begin her angry confrontation and cause a giant scene.

I find it amazing–really amazing–that she ran around to a dozen people saying I would cause a scene right before she came over yelling, arguing, making accusations, and making an ass of herself. She was also throwing a quite a few loud F-bombs (I hope Eileen’s ears were plugged). Whatever happened to Kyle’s fake ladylike shock of the F-bomb?

 

 

Another good point.  Where were the talking head/reaction shots of Eileen and/or Lipsa being horrified at the "fucks" pouring out of Kyle's mouth?

 

Oh yeah, there was one more, as she towered over Kim who was sitting down, yelling “F– you” for the whole mixer. On that front,

I think we all hope that some of the ladies start doing something interesting soon, because our two resident Gladys Kravitzs tittering and clutching their pearls in mock horror at me is kind of boring.

 

I agree with this too. 

 

So far, the main thing Lipsa and Eileen talk about is Brandi.  Or Kim. 

 

This kind of show does get boring without some conflict, which is probably why Atlanta and New Jersey still get the highest ratings.

 

I'm sick to death of the whole "kid goes to college" weepy shit.  I do love my house porn though, but prefer it with some action other than looking at jewelry, or listening to MY KING talk (again, some more) about his music.  I wish we had seen more of the yacht trip Yo took with David, before she joined Kyle and Maury on the much smaller, less exotic yacht.  Ha.

This is some disingenuous  bullshit on Brandi's part. Eileen asked her to lower her voice with the swearing because there was a young child sleeping upstairs, not because she had some visceral reaction to the word Fuck. Brandi seems unable to help herself. She lobs things out like this without considering the circumstances. 

[motorcitymom65]

So someone pitched Brandi the idea of doing a cookbook.  You will be shocked to hear she wants it to be provocative. So I guess now just anyone can have a cookbook? Well, if Teresa G can...

 

What has she done to make her plastic surgeon hate her so much?

[MatildaMoody]

 

 

“We move on to Kyle visiting Kim at her house a few days after Kim was recuperating from being released from her week in the hospital. Kyle asks her sister why she was in the hospital. There. I will leave it at that. She doesn’t even know WHY her sister was in the hospital more than a week later. It was a hernia, fractured rib, and disc issues–very serious and very painful injuries and medical issues for a single woman over 40.”

 

More disingenuous bullshit from Brandi. Kyle visited Kim in the hospital. Giving Kim the chance to tell the viewers why she was in the hospital is not the same as being an uncaring sister. And let's face it, I doubt Kim actually knows why she was in the hospital because she says these injuries came from an illness of which she showed no symptoms. I am not a Kyle fan, so Brandi is pissing me off even more by making me defend her.

[Satchels of gold]

Yep Kyle should have said " what excuse do you want to give the viewers Kim?". Same thing.

[zoeysmom]

This is Brandi's chance to shine or decline.  If she continues down the road with the verbal assaults on Kyle and blowing off Yolanda and Eileen she will end up back where she was when she started coming up with ideas to get on the Real Housewives.  If the powers that be haven't picked her up for a talk show by now, if her wine hasn't been put up for market, if her ability to land an American magazine column hasn't come in, chances are this is as good as it gets.  I doubt any of these ladies will respond to a tearful Brandi this Reunion.

The editing goes both ways though, it is possible, more than likely, that Brandi could have come off looking worse IMO.

 

Yes, Kyle got herself wound up and acted badly but then again, Brandi was NOT invited yet she came anyway knowing/hoping it would set Kyle off. It was Brandi winding Kim up in the limo drive to the mixer.

 

Lisa R, in her blog this week said that everyone, Kyle, Kim and Brandi, need to own what they did. She basically called them all out on their behavior at the mixer, not just Brandi.

 

Eileen only spoke about Brandi's language 1 time, at her house where her 11 year old was home upstairs. It is Brandi that keeps brining it up, not Eileen. Brandi is now using that 1 comment to hit Eileen on the head over and over hoping we will forget Brandi throwing wine on Eileen for no reason and to make us forget her own horrid behavior at the poker party. She is trying to use the smoke and mirrors trick on us. A big FAIL, IMO

 

Brandi/Kim are a topic of conversation for the other HWs because of their drunken/high nasty behavior and no other reason. Yes, the show needs some drama but that is not the kind of drama needed IMO. I do not need to see someone that "claims" sobriety fall off the wagon on a regular basis or someone that gets drunk every time they turn around.  JMO

[Cranky One]

Why on earth would anyone buy a cookbook, and especially wine, with a HW label on it?

[CatMomma]

 

Another good point.  Where were the talking head/reaction shots of Eileen and/or Lipsa being horrified at the "fucks" pouring out of Kyle's mouth?

 

Not really the same.  Eileen's problem during poker night had to do with the fact that her child was upstairs, and Brandi was screeching "fuck" in every sentence.

 

I don't think Lisa or Eileen have a problem with the word.  Hell, Lisa uses it all the time. 

 

ETA: Okay, many others beat me to the punch and said it much more eloquently.

I am at a loss why anyone would by a Brandi cookbook, unless she followed the Teresa formula and had a bunch of RH dirt but I think that has all been pretty well laid out.  Brandi of course claims she makes the best tacos and I once saw something she was making with ground beast-nothing looked all that appetizing.  I will say I doubt the average family could afford Brandi's recipes if she spends a $1,000.00 a week on groceries.

I'm sure all her food taste like bitterness and tears.

[AKA...CJ86]

bitterness and tears.

And there's the title of the next bestseller!

 

I take it most of the recipes will be cocktails or alcohol based...

Edited February 7, 2015 by CyberJawa1986

[glowbug]

I, too, wonder who would buy a cookbook by Brandi.  She's only cooked once on the show from what I can remember and the food wasn't very memorable because the only thing I remember from the scene was a bunch of hair extensions that might potentially fall in the food.  Teresa's cookbooks sold because she presented herself as a cook on RHoNJ (regardless of whether she is or not), and because she was marketing Italian food that wouldn't make you fat, which many people want.  Also, I thought I heard that the recipes in her books (or at leas the first one) are authentic Italian recipes passed down from her family so they might actually be worth having (if you don't mind financially supporting a felon). Brandi, on the other hand, doesn't have anything to offer the culinary world.  

[DebbieM4]

Brandi claims she is a giant asshole on RHOBH and does not let her son watch it: http://www.realitytea.com/2015/02/04/brandi-glanville-im-giant-hole-real-housewives-beverly-hills/  Here is an idea-don't behave like a total asshole. 

 

 

OMG, that photo of her is scary!

 

And she is truly delusional if she thinks her sons don't see any of her behavior on TV and elsewhere.  They're young, but they're not babies in cribs.   They were 7 and 11 as of last summer, so they're something like 8 and 12 now, give or take a few months.  Certainly old enough to google on their own, either at home, at the house of a friend, or anywhere else.  I doubt RHOBH is of much interest to them as a show, but it's normal to be curious if your mother is on it.   And by simply googling RHOBH or her name, there are a whole lot of highly embarrassing things that pop up.  Not to mention what they might hear from friends whose mothers watch the show.  Or what they might see if they pick up a tabloid in a 7-Eleven.  Or if they read her twitter.  And if she thinks they're not going to read her books - now or in the future - she's out of her mind.

 

I agree - The better strategy would be to behave in a way so that all the googling in the world doesn't turn up anything that could be upsetting and embarrassing to her children.  But that's clearly not how Brandi rolls.  She does what she wants to do, impulsively and without a thought as to how it might impact anyone else, including her own children.  That's the worst kind of mother, IMO.

[breezy424]

Me thinks Brandi is desperate for a third book but there's nothing left.  So, how about a cookbook. 

 

Wow, they 'begged' her to be on Eddie's and Leann's show? 

 

I think this is all Brandi 'logic'.  Ya know, like because Kyle asked Kim what was the final diagnosis was in hospital translates into Kyle didn't know why Kim was in the hospital.  Never mind the fact that no one knew what was wrong with Kim when she went into the hospital.  They thought it might be an ulcer.

 

And she wants to do a show about giving advice to women whose husbands have cheated on them?  That's scary.

 

Brandi has sold everything she has done in an effort to make a buck.  Because of this, she will reveal ANYTHING about anyone else just to keep her relevant.  She has nothing else.

[SwordQueen]

Eileen asked her to lower her voice with the swearing because there was a young child sleeping upstairs, not because she had some visceral reaction to the word Fuck. Brandi seems unable to help herself. She lobs things out like this without considering the circumstances. 

 

Brandi is the queen of hyperbole. 

 

I’ve really come to see her as a child with her black and white thinking, myopic perception of herself and the world, and self-serving attitude. 

 

She takes information and stretches, twists and flips it until it looks like something that will garner her sympathy, or hurt another person.  So Eileen saying “Please lower your voice in my home, my kid is sleeping upstairs.” turns into “Eileen yelled at me for using curse words while at a party because she’s so uptight  She’s not my mother, I’m an adult.  I can do anything I want!”.  She’ll run with it until everyone is worn down and exhausted and she thinks she has won.

 

And her threats of physical violence are as empty as her head.  She only threatens people because she doesn’t have any wit to spar with.  I’m sure Eileen could “bring it”, Brandi, but I don’t think you’d be able understand it.

[imjagain]

Brandi doing a cookbook makes less sense than Sonja Morgan's toaster ovens. We actually saw Sonja cook in the toaster ovens. I don't remember Brandi cooking, ever on the show, but I might have missed it.

It really screams desperation, IMO. So now the tweet someone linked a few days ago about being on top chef and burning Andy makes sense, (well not really, but in Brandi speak I guess it does). I also saw, she posted a pic of herself on twitter cooking mashed potatoes, lol, oh that Brandi getting ready to set the culinary world on fire.

[jinjer]

I don't know about a cookbook, but someone tweeted that they should do a TopChef HWs, and she replied that would be a great idea with Dean whatever his name is - Leann's ex as the Tom Colicchio guy?  It might be a fun one-off to watch them do a cook off.  Do you remember Kim and Kyle making their special dish in Palm Springs and they needed margarine to cook it! Lol.  But at least they went to a grocery store and had a recipe.  On BH we know that Kim, Yo, and Brandi shop at stores like Costco and Target.  I bet Rinna does too even though she said she watches everything that goes into her mouth.  The NYers order in or eat out for the most part I think. NJ definitely go to grocery stores as do the OCers except Heather.

 

Zoeysmom ITA that Brandi doesn't think she has a problem with alcohol bc she can go periods without drinking.  The fact that she may need to drink in social settings or mix pills with alcohol in stressful situations sets off alarm bells.  Or the fact that she keeps doing it when she knows that she is going to be filmed also is troubling, especially when she knows she acts out "after 2 glasses."  Most people wouldn't drink or would eat before or would stop after one glass.  She has said she has anxiety issues and maybe using alcohol to self-medicate along with whatever medication she has, but clearly that is no bueno. There is such lack of judgment and lack of impulse control.

I remember when Brandi floated the crap the first time bout Eddie and LeAnn wanting her on their show.  Their reps said Brandi had approached them.  I don't see any way, shape or form they wanted any interactions with Brandi.  Brandi also claimed they has hired actors to play the children and the actress they hired to play LeAnn's best friend was secretly a very good friend of Brandi's and she was giving Brandi dailies on what was happening on the show while they were shooting.  LeAnn wanted her side of the story out regarding the tabloid allegations and in the process forgot to tell her story.

 

Does anyone really by an App that keeps them from tweeting when drunk?  Does anyone want a naughty cookbook?  I think it is time to stop hiring writers who gather recipes and slap a star's name on them.  What the world needs is another celebrity Chardonnay.

 

This idea about scorned women having a TV show.  I kind of feel sorry for the women who participate.  Brandi and Dean's ex will just be making money off their misery.  I do agree with the author of the Reality Tea article, Brandi is not a good talk show host-it is always about what she is doing, her former marriage and her love life.  This JR guy has to emotionally stunted to stick with Brandi the emotional vortex.  I must say a little gross to get your estranged husband and go through it finding his friends and acquaintances and sleeping with them.  Her boys will be so proud when they read this one day. 

 

So Brandi has chosen Tawny Kitaen as her next guest.  I guess listeners are suppose to care what she is doing now.  This is one scary woman-an addict and someone who once tried to annihilate her children and supposedly herself.  I hope Brandi did her homework about her or I guess this is the company she now wants to keep.   For uneasy reading here are the divorce papers in the Findley-Kitaen matter.  http://www.thesmokinggun.com/file/chuck-finley-strikes-back

The Palm Springs and Kim's famous potatoes-Kyle argued for butter and Kim bought this massive thing of margarine and there were Ken and Lisa turning their nose up at Kim's use of margarine.  Not too long after Lisa was doing commercials for "I Can't Believe it is not Butter", oh the hypocrisy.  It was kind of fun watching buzzed Kim grocery shop.

 

The good old days before Brandi.  I keep wondering why it is okay for Brandi to repeatedly state all these triggers that set her off and like some kind of maniac she is not responsible for her behavior.  Between the time Kyle grabbed Brandi's arm, which Brandi addressed first by pulling Kyle towards her by the finger then pushing her away and is a downward motion and the arm grab in the driveway there was a significant amount of time.  One of these days Brandi won't be covered by a contract and end up in a world of hurt.  She is now feeling the results of an unchecked mouth with Joanna Krupa suing her.  I saw the mention of the lawsuit in People all it said was for comments Glanville made about Krupa on Bravo's WWHL.

[jinjer]

What's going on with the lawsuit?  Brandi hasn't said a peep about it.  She will have to answer soon.

[hottesthw]

So someone pitched Brandi the idea of doing a cookbook. You will be shocked to hear she wants it to be provocative. So I guess now just anyone can have a cookbook? Well, if Teresa G can...

What has she done to make her plastic surgeon hate her so much?

Wow, reading that proves that woman suffers from some sort of mental problem. Talk about delusions of grandeur. She wants to lose the label of being a scorned woman but can't help but talk nonstop about cheating that occurred 6 years ago like it happened yesterday. She's exhausting. And I'll hold my breath for that cookbook.

It would appear that she has come to the conclusion that she has nothing else to offer. She will now and forever be the scorned wife. That is how she got any level of fame to begin with and it doesn't look like there is anything else for her to fall back on.

 

It really is too bad. Like the Teresa G situation, I had always thought that Brandi should have been hoarding whatever money she was making on those books and off this show. It was clear that she was at the hight of her earning potential, and that she had very little money making opportunities outside of that. Her story of being left by Eddie was always destined to get old yet she didn't really didn't have anything else that is marketable. I know that she wants to be Chelsea Handler, but she never will be. Chelsea is smart. She is all up to speed on current events and can talk about big issues. I would be stunned to learn that Brandi was even registered to vote, let alone articulate on any subject outside of a debate on which white wine goes better with her supposedly famous tacos. The very sad reality is, and I say this as a woman who is a few years older than Brandi, it is hard for someone at her age to "break into" something like being a Shock Jock.  

[Cranky One]

Brandi has made a career out of being the women scorned. Brandi, you ain't no Betty Broderick, thankfully (who was brilliantly played by Meridith Baxter and no matter how many times I've seen the 2 part movie, I will drop everything and watch!). When I think of a woman scorned, I think of BB!

[imjagain]

I remember when Brandi floated the crap the first time bout Eddie and LeAnn wanting her on their show. Their reps said Brandi had approached them. I don't see any way, shape or form they wanted any interactions with Brandi. Brandi also claimed they has hired actors to play the children and the actress they hired to play LeAnn's best friend was secretly a very good friend of Brandi's and she was giving Brandi dailies on what was happening on the show while they were shooting. LeAnn wanted her side of the story out regarding the tabloid allegations and in the process forgot to tell her story.

Does anyone really by an App that keeps them from tweeting when drunk? Does anyone want a naughty cookbook? I think it is time to stop hiring writers who gather recipes and slap a star's name on them. What the world needs is another celebrity Chardonnay.

This idea about scorned women having a TV show. I kind of feel sorry for the women who participate. Brandi and Dean's ex will just be making money off their misery. I do agree with the author of the Reality Tea article, Brandi is not a good talk show host-it is always about what she is doing, her former marriage and her love life. This JR guy has to emotionally stunted to stick with Brandi the emotional vortex. I must say a little gross to get your estranged husband and go through it finding his friends and acquaintances and sleeping with them. Her boys will be so proud when they read this one day.

So Brandi has chosen Tawny Kitaen as her next guest. I guess listeners are suppose to care what she is doing now. This is one scary woman-an addict and someone who once tried to annihilate her children and supposedly herself. I hope Brandi did her homework about her or I guess this is the company she now wants to keep. For uneasy reading here are the divorce papers in the Findley-Kitaen matter. http://www.thesmokinggun.com/file/chuck-finley-strikes-back

She has an app? And that is what it's for? I had not heard of this, that is one of the most bizarre HW products I have heard of. Well maybe Vicki's (OC) hair diamonds lol.

Kim missed an opportunity to put out her own line of margarine.

[zoeysmom]

Here is an article about the app:  http://www.realitytea.com/2014/07/15/brandi-glanville-promotes-her-own-app-wine-and-t-shirts/

 

Brandi having a wine line with the same people that Bethenny started with. . . interesting.  Bethenny's booze sold because it had the word Skinny in it.  Something tells me the name Unfiltered is not the  way to go. If Brandi is serious about her wine she will just call it Brandi Glanville's Chardonnay-with Brandi it is all about the hook.  I just keep going back to what I have said all along. . . Brandi isn't as funny as she thinks she is.  Next there is her release date.  At this point she is banking on being part of Season 6 for the release of her wine.  If they begin filming in June or July and she could be well into 206 before it comes out on the show IF she is asked back.   

 

It is not hard to get you own wine label-in about an hour I could have a Previously TV wine.  The tricky part is getting it distributed.  She may have a distributer but why would I want to buy her wine as opposed to Ramona's, or Skinny Girl wine?  The usual detraction in these vanity wines is the price.  Brandi would have to have  pretty low price point because she just exudes low rent.  So after Brandi buys the wine, bottles it and gets it to a distributor she is lucky to see $1  bottle.  Even if she uses a slap on winery she won't see much more.

I literally drop everything I'm doing when that crazy bitch shows on my tv. It never gets old.

Me too!  The Betty Broderick story is fascinating.

 

As for Brandi's complaint about editing showing her drinking more often than the other women, all I can say is that she's missing the point.  It's not about how often she has a glass in her hand  - It's about her behavior when she drinks.  I pay no attention to who has a glass of wine in their hand or how many they've had, but it sure as hell catches my attention when someone acts like a skanky, low-life fool because she's clearly had at least one too many.  Does Kyle routinely drink more than Brandi?  Maybe, but she sure doesn't behave as though she does.   If Brandi is so concerned with how she's portrayed, she should of course be mindful of that when they're filming.  But it would also do her well to realize that she clearly stands out as drinking a whole lot, and the amount actually consumed by the others has nothing at all to do with it.

Brandi Buck would be kind of a catchy name for an individual serving size of wine, actually - say, in a small, hip flask shaped bottle or a wasp-waisted, old-fashioned soda bottle, something funky like that. The marketing could play it up as party girl on the go, wherever she goes, there's a party.

Don't mind me, I'm just thinking out loud. I'm intrigued by the question of how someone would go about distinguishing themselves from the ocean of competitors in this market.

I think almost all of us could use some Previously TV Wine, for Tuesday night.  Two glasses each -- one to drink and one to toss.  ; )

...For a decoration?  Maybe a lone tampon string adorning the bottle for that little extra classy Glanville touch...

[jinjer]

I just can't believe that Brandi has a brand that would sell alcohol.  What is the target market?  I just can't picture it.  But what do I know, Ramona isn't the picture of sobriety and she has Ramona Pinot Grigio.  Is that self-produced?

[Umbelina]

I think Ramona contracted with an Italian wine company for hers?  I actually tried it, it's not bad.

 

I wonder if everyone and their brother approaches "wives" with these propositions?  Frankly, I think Lipsa's DEPENDS commercial was more lucrative.

That commercial was hysterical! LOL

[Lura]

I wonder whether Brandi has ever heard of previously.  If she read this forum, it just might get through to her how viewers see her.  She always seems perplexed (or ACTS perplexed) about being misunderstood.  Maybe someone needs to put a bee in her bonnet about coming here and reading these comments.  On the face of it, it sounds like a mean-spirited thing to do, but there's always a chance that it might wake her up.

 

I simply can't reconcile the Brandi I see on CA and the one on RHOBH.  How can they be one and the same woman?  One seems to be polite, reasonable and nice, while the other seems like a troublemaker from Hell.  In real life, who is she???  Is someone telling her how they want her to act, or does she have a split personality?  She is endlessly fascinating and torture to watch.

 

For me, RHOBH is becoming crazier and more confusing with each episode.  I still don't get what the gay party was for.  Kim is sick, then well, then sick again.  Brandi is now the other sick one  Lisa and Kyle are almost friends again.  I'm not kidding -- I need a road map to figure out what's going on.  And I don't think I'm alone.  Lisa R. seems lost and sometimes babbles in the limo like a crazed woman.  Eileen acts like an alien dropped down in the middle of everything and doesn't know where she is or who is who or what is what! 

 

No wonder Brandi's all mixed up.  So am I!

[msblossom]

Will the real Brandi please stand up!

Uh, she did, with the help of two of her friends and had a tampon string hanging out. She wasn't filming for a show, so my guess is that's the real Brandi.

Brandi gets tweets saying much of the same said here but her fans tell her to block them, which she does, and then they tell her she is perfect, not to change. I think all of the HWs, except Kim, check out what is said about them on FB, in blogs and at various sites like this. It is astounding how many times a HW says something on the show that is almost a direct quote of something said the year before on a site or they use it in their blogs. Jill Z was famous for using the Bravo MBs back in the day.I think Brandi is convinced that she does nothing wrong, that she is always provoked first even when the show footage shows otherwise. Brandi uses the "editing" excuse, more than most.

 

We do not see how Brandi acts/behaves on CA except in the boardroom and in the challenges. There is no footage of her behavior back in her room or off hours so to speak. It was rumored that DT had to have a talk with her early on due to her drinking and crazy behavior. It is possible that some of her HW behavior did happen on camera but was edited out because that would look very unprofessional for that type of show. DT is a very proud guy and really believes his show should not be seen as a joke, even if it is in reality a joke, to him it is not. He also likes tall leggy blondes with a sob story IMO.

 

IMO, Kim has never been fully sober on this show. I think her drug use/abuse has varied these last couple of years but it is still there. I do agree that sometimes, OK many times, it feels like you need a score card to keep up with who are friends each episode. LOL
