Yolanda Hadid: My Love, My Lemons, My Lyme Disease.

[FanOfTheFans]

I wonder if these stories about the HW are really put out by Bravo as a way to get feedback from the public's reaction to who should stay or go. Dummy stories, so to speak. I am always skeptical to believe any of them. How do you guys feel about that?

As far as Yolanda, truthfully, I'd like to see her held accountable for once. She really has never had a season where this has happened. It seems like she has always been able to pick and choose trips and activities. Often leaving early from events, even before her illness was a storyline.  If the story isn't Yo centric, she was outta there early.  Maybe Bravo feels they can never hold Yo accountable because of her illness and they are cutting their losses.  

But I don't want another season like this past one. It was a total failure, regarding the Munchausen debacle.

[lunastartron]

I don't anticipate this premise coming to fruition because it's too good to be true but Tamara Tattles posted a picture several days ago of Mohammed posing for a snapshot with Lisa and Shiva (a pic even more recent than the one with Joyce). She contended that Shiva almost made it to the cast in seasons prior before considerations of the intense family dynamic that would create prompted her and Mo to back out. I have no idea whether that is accurate or not but commenters on the piece noted that Bravo could still access Gigi and Bella without having to cater to Yolanda's solo filming demands by just replacing her with the girls' other parent via Shiva.

In which case Lisa would not only get to say "see ya" to her nemesis but also gain the closest thing to a ride-or-die ally she'll ever get ie check-fucking-mate.

I got bit by a horsefly this past weekend.  The first thing I told my husband, was shit.  Now I have Lyme Disease.

I liked Kathryn.  I wish that Bravo had gotten rid of the oh so boring Erika.

My condolences to you and to all of your family members who will now suffer from LD for eternity. There is hope. If you could just somehow manage to smother yourself in butter, pop yourself into a giant popcorn popper and set it for 3 minutes, serve yourself with a side of fresh squeezed lemon juice with a dash of cayenne pepper, you could possibly survive.

In case that doesn't work, I would suggest that you purchase a fluffy white robe which will replace all of your Hollywood Friends.

I am thrilled!  Production was as disgusted with last season as we were.  Big changes afoot.  Of course things can change but I do believe Yo not coming back is true.  All Lyme all the time is out! 

Looks like the TT source may have been wrong. http://www.allaboutthetea.com/2016/06/04/lisa-vanderpump-responds-to-rhobh-casting-rumors-yolanda-not-fired/

[FanOfTheFans]

Thanks WireWrap.  This is exactly what I was talking about. These stories, serve two purposes. One to gauge the fans opinion, and secondly to keep interest in the show ongoing. Aren't they about to start filming BH soon?

[thewhiteowl]

So, I had a close friend of 15 years pass away from cancer last week and I have to say that "understanding her journey" wasn't helpful to me or her family in the least.  I find it remarkably insensitive and even callous that Yo could utter such things.  

I would be shocked if Yo is not back with bells on. I think this story was bait to see reaction.  They cannot possibly fire poor sick Yo, they'd be even more vilified. If she left,  Yo and Bravo would make damn sure everyone knew it was her choice. JMO.

LVP responded no, to the rumor. The entire rumor may not be true but she did not say what part was wrong or what was correct.  I still hold hope Yo will not return.  I think there is an obvious reason why she would not be asked back.  That being she still has Lyme and it would just be a replay of last season with her.  Why would they want that?

I am so very sorry for your loss, thewhiteowl.  Fuck cancer, and fuck WoeYo, too.

I am sorry, grizzly loss.  Cancer is the worst. 

 Bravo is aware of the reaction to Yo from viewers as opposed to her twitter fans.  I really don't think they would see themselves as villains at all.  If you are too sick to show up to film what choice do they have, really.  

Don't rain on my parade.  She is NOT coming back.

I really want to believe that we won't have to suffer another season of CLD. Chronic Lyin' Disease.

Yeah, I jumped on Tamara's story because I so wanted it to be true, but I can see how it may have been floated to gauge opinion. 

If Yolanda is coming back, I don't know what I'll do. The best I can hope for is that the other women finally open their god damn eyes and train them on some actual information. (Going to an event and listening to anecdotes is not learning.) It'll probably come down to how nosy I am, but I can do that online without supporting the show. I'm going to make an effort to boycott the show if Yolanda is allowed to go on, unchecked.

Hello!? This is 2016. At the very moment that you're bitten by a horsefly a drone carrying the fluffy white robe is dispatched to your home.

Yes, I will be pouting, too. I wanted to believe, very much, that her platform was being dismantled, but the evidence isn't on our side. My point is that we can go on a lovely sightseeing tour and ignore the fact that Yolanda is still on TV, lying up a storm.

I am getting on the tour bus! 

[lunastartron]

Well, it's actually thunderstorm time for that parade. If one actually scrolls down to the comments section of the post in question, Tamara Tattles actually includes some bullshit after-the-fact equivocation about (to paraphrase)  "blah blah blah I drunk posted and, in truth, the information I received was not that Yolanda is definitively done but rather that no one affiliated with the cast currently knows whether or not she got her pickup notice." So, yup, TT just wanted some page views and spun a yarn to add to the Kathryn news reported elsewhere. I wouldn't be surprised if production is waiting to see what Eileen and the potentials each bring before determining who gets the final diamond but I would hazard a guess that's conjecture on TT's part rather than concrete info. 

[kokapetl]

Gigi the stepmom? She looks confused. 

That baby is literally chained into the stroller. 

Udda One for Givenchy:

Blah blah blah. Those pants are ugly.

It's a good thing I am on that tour bus. :^)   I don't think it is unreasonable to hope/think that she will not return.  As I said, she is still sick and if she cannot show up for the filming times and travel, what choice do they have?  I don't see them cutting her slack again.  Andy on WWHL yelled (loudly) and declared that the word M is dead,  They are all done with the sick batshittery. 

For those who have Lyme, I am speaking about Yo has handled it.  Nothing disparaging about the disease itself or those who have it.

Gigi really looks like Yo there. That said not her best look.

[Wings]

All the Hadid kids are beautiful. Maturing will benefit Anwar and all of them need to be schooled on Tyra's smize.  Their eyes are dead.  They can maintain the model neutral stare and keep their eyes alive.  They will get that in time.   They are good looking kids who have a future in modeling or media ventures.  Good for them.

That Versace photo is very off-putting. Gigi is like "Who are these people and why are they photoshopped into my runway shot?"

The guy is like 'Who is this woman and why did they photoshop my wife out of this pic?"

Little boy "Where is the ice cream they promised?"

Little girl "Um, diaper change, please!"

I think she looks like a hostage.

And that's the shot they chose? I'd like to see the others.

[ryebread]

It's bad. Her blowing, messy hair is jarring next to the controlled naturals on the dad and son. But it's getting people to talk and that's the goal.

And those pants are awful.  Heidi would auf you for pants that fit like those.

Very much so. The chain around the black baby girl is especially all kinds of messed up.

They usually start filming BH in either June or July, so soon.

She's at least getting off her bedridden death bed for a trip to Tahiti!  Bikinis for everyone!

 

She does look great, gotta admit

That is a beautiful dog.  He or she is upstaging Yo. 

[phoenix780]

I love the quote in that article where she talks about how courageous she is to show her "raw unedited" story. Her social media was anything but raw. That's not a dig, it's just how social media works. It's where we selectively tell our stories, sometimes with edited, posed/staged photos. Nothing raw about it.  

Also, I don't really buy that she'd be told not to talk about Lyme were she to return. I think they'd force her to include her romantic life, not just Lyme, and I'm OK with that. I don't think you get to be a reality show personality and exclude elements of your life, except for underage kids.
