Dorit breaks down and opens up about the real reason she did not quit RHOBH as Producers expect to announce the new cast any week now. Bethenny Frankel seem to be getting more hate these days than ever - from ex Housewives, ex RHONY cast mates, Housewives offspring - Gia we are talking to you and so many others. So just why does everyone seem to be coming for The B these days? Meanwhile, the new Summer House word on the street is that Amanda wants to marry West. We first suggest, she finalize her divorce from Kyle. Last, but not least, our dear, dear friend Kelly Dodd insists she is not going to jail, but as her August court date nears, legal experts say otherwise.

Last, but not least, more tea about Andy Cohen’s boyfriend surfaces that we just cannot get enough of.

Norma Kamali steps Behind The Rope. Living Legend, Fashion Icon Norma Kamali.  Norma opens up about some of the highlights of her career such the Sleeping Bag Coat, the high heeled sneaker, her one piece red bathing suit worn by Farrah Fawcett in the iconic 1976 poster and styling Whitney Houston on the back cover of her 1985 debut album. We break down the relationship between celebrity and designer, the celebs Norma has worked with, and who she would love to design for. Norma discusses her involvement with Bravo’s Project Runway, Heidi Klum, Michael Kors, Tim Gunn, the show’s most notorious winner Christian Siriano, and whether shows like Project Runway “work” anymore. We analyze the changes in the fashion industry throughout the years, the current crop of Hollywood’s best and worst dressed, and the current crop of hot models such as Gigi and Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner. Finally, we chat about the current state of the red carpet, the decreased ratings across the board for Awards shows, the future of fashion and how one size does not fit all.

Our live show has come and gone but what we thought was in the rear view mirror of the past, resurfaces on further leaked audio from today’s show. Thats right, more leaked audio from our live show and yes, the drama is real.  Did someone say PK? Fear not, we cover oh, so very much more than just that dra-ma. Camille Grammer’s RHOBH return, Mauricio and Lala, Rich AF Housewives, the return of Amanda Frances, Andy’s problem keeping housewives quiet, kicking certain RHOM to the curb, marrying Adrienne Maloof and last, but sure as fu*k not least, visiting Kelly Dodd in jail. Like we said, its a jam packed episode!

Kathy Hilton stepped down last week from her role as Grand Marshal Icon at WeHo’s 2026 pride. This week, more facts surfaced which seem to suggest there is more than originally thought to meet the eye. Speaking of RHOBH, Garcelle revealed, finally, the shocking secret reason she really quit RHOBH and it was not at all what anyone expected. No Sutton and the rest of the diamond holders, it does not have to do with you. Last, but not least, as Dorit’s foreclosure was moved, yet again (Ok June 23rd, we see you), Dorit says Amanda Frances cannot have her house, says PK is fabricating a lot of financial facts about her and still, seems, a little disconnected with the true gravity of her financial situation.

It has happened again. Jeff Lewis has fired yet another employee. As they say, another one bites the dust. Rumors surface AGAIN about Camille Grammer and Crystal Kunk Minkoff’s return to RHOBH as chopping block rumors grow stronger by the day. Yes and maybe please. Lisa Barlow lets us know about a very different upcoming RHOSLC season. Last, but not least, the pitfalls of Housewives continues to claim its next victim as life after seems to have taken another one of our favs.

Last week we broke down the current charges against Kelly Denise Leventhal Dodd, her reaction to the charges and her strong belief that her family is the cause of all evil in her life. Today, we dive deep into Kelly’s shocking alleged violent past. Restraining orders. Banned from daughter Jolie’s school. Threatening texts and voicemails against various parties. You name it, Kelly’s past reads like a rap sheet. We discuss the new timeline, proof, screen shots, photographs, videos and receipts that her Brother provided earlier this week. We analyze her Mother’s shocking recent statements. Last, but not least, we discuss what happens to Kelly next as she prepares for her big day in court a mere few weeks from now!
