Speaker 1 (00:03):
Reality with the King is hosted by me, Carlos King.
I'm an executive producer who have produced some of your
favorite shows from the Real Housewives in Atlanta, New Jersey
and my own creation, The Love and Marriage Franchise and
Bell Collective. Every episode we recap reality television from the
Real Housewives Franchise to The Bachelor or Selling Sunset, in
(00:27):
addition to celebrity guests, whether in the unscripted space or
scripted as well. Hey, rain Drops, for today's episode Reality
with the King, Bravo, Bravo, fucking Bravo. There is so
much going on in today's news as it relates to
the Bravo celebrities making hit lies. We're talking about Jack Taylor,
(00:52):
who has announced his departure from the Valley. But first
we have to get into Denise Richards, who not only
has filed for divorce, she also is alleging that her
a strange soon to be ex husband, Aaron Piffers. She's
(01:14):
accusing him of domestic violence. But look, rain Drops, I
could not do this episode alone, so guess what I
want to introduce you to the woman who is sort
of like the curator of all of my life. My schedules,
everything I have going on. I'm talking about my assistant Lucy. Hi, Charles.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
I'm so excited to be here. I love when we
recap all of these these shows on the phone, so
thrilled to talk about it today, I.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Don't listen, so ray DAWs. I'm like, Lizzie, I got
this up my schedule. What am I doing today? What
am I doing here? And then I'm like, do you
have any time to gossip? And then we spend hours
talking about all of the home I'll swap in reality shows.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Right, That's pretty much how it goes. Yes, yeah, usually, yeah,
some gossip time.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Yeah, I know, I know. It's like Wednesdays at ten
o'clock am Eastern tenth to time because s Pacific it
is too late to do it. But we try to
get all of our gossip out the way so that
then I can like be this crazy boss that I am.
But Lizzie, there is so much going on the Bravo world.
What you guys don't know. Lizzie also worked as a
(02:32):
producer on a lot of the shows I worked on
as well, so she also has a great insight in
terms of production. However, she is like the biggest Bravo
fan of the world too, So this would be a
good conversation as we dive into this breaking news. So, Lizzie,
we have to get into Denise Richards. Okay, you ready
for this one? Absolutely, all right. So Denise Richards is
(02:57):
making shocking new accusations again against her soon to be
ex Aaron, and court documents obtained by People magazine, Richards
requested a temporary domestic violence restraining order against Aaron, sharing
(03:18):
alleged details in photos Lizzie, accusing him a physical assault. Lizzy,
listen to this. This is what she's alleging, she said
in the court documents, and I quote, Aaron would frequently
violently choke me, violently squeeze my head with both hands,
(03:39):
tightly squeezed my arms, violently slapped me in my face
and head, aggressively slammed my head into the bathroom tile rack,
threatning to kill me, hold me down with his knee
on my back to the point where I would have
to plead with him to get off of me so
that he would not kill me, and hack it to
(04:01):
my laptop and phone and download all of my text messages.
She has the less that Aaron would regularly threaten to
break her jaw and would cry beg her to stay
and promise to get help, which she said, none of
(04:21):
whichever happened, meaning the help Lizzie. Now, look, I only
know Aaron based on the few scenes of them together
on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. I am shocked
by all of this.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
The pictures, the pictures were so scary, so sad. I mean,
no one first ault, no one deserves that at all.
And I just feel like all the glimpses that we
got of him on the Housewives of Beverly Hills, there
was something kookie there. I mean, the girls also said
so also, you know the cast, they about his rage issues.
(05:02):
They talked about how they didn't like the way that
he talked to the other women on the cast. And
you know, I don't think I'm surprised, but I definitely
didn't think that anything like this was going on behind
closed doors. Because she wrote for him, She wrote for
him hard, you know, Yeah, that was that was my man,
my man, my man to her. You know, that was
(05:25):
her husband. He was, you know, a step in father
to her youngest daughter, Eloise, who she adopted. And that
is so scary that that's happening to a woman, a
wife in general, especially a mom. You know, that's it's
an unsafe environment. And I mean what I read said
that all of these things were happening, you know, at
(05:46):
even the latest July fourteenth, so that's like two days ago.
You know, that's it's that's really scary.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
No, it was so interesting, so so rain Drops, Like,
like Lizzie said, this happened a few days ago, some
of the later some of the accusations that she is
referring to. On top of that, Lizzie, you're so right,
I forgot that some of the Beverly Hills housewives. We'll
talk about his rage, We'll talk about oh my gosh, Linday,
(06:15):
something just hit me like him. No, Lizzie, remember, okay, Lizzy,
rain drops listen up. Okay. Remember when Denny's Richard's biggest
storyline was whether or not she slept with Brandy Glanville.
And I remember at the time, like, who cares if
(06:37):
you and Brandy had a fun girls night out? Like
I never thought it was a big deal. But think
about it, Lizzie. I now remember how she kept saying,
I'm a married woman. Aaron and I would have fun
with other girls together, but we never I would never
do that to my husband. In hindsight, if all of
these accusations are true, I now have an Aha moment
(07:01):
Lizzie of why she was so adamant about this not
being true, because she always said I would never sleep
with a girl without my husband President. Me and Brandy
never slept together. I always believed no shade that they did.
And I never understood why she kept saying she would
never do it and why Aaron would care if they have,
(07:23):
you know, situations with women together. But if he is
somebody that is of course abusive. Now it makes sense
why she was so afraid of that story coming out.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Oh absolutely. I mean the way that he even his
body language when he walked with her just was a
little off. You know. Obviously I'm not in their home
behind closed doors, but it did seem off, and it
was no you know, surprise for all the other girls
to feel that way too. She would leave scenes with him.
It's like she really wanted this rumor to be shut
(07:57):
down and shut down fast.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. So, like Lizzie said earlier in
this document, Denise Richards cited that this month, rain drops
from July fourth through the fourteenth, there has been a
recent alleged assault. Denise Richards claimed that Aaron and his
family I'm sorry. Denise claims that she asked Aaron and
(08:24):
his family to move out of townhomes she had least.
In the documents, Denise alleged that on July fourth or
the July Aaron and I quote got within two inches
of her face and screened degrading profanities, including calling her
the sea word and a piece of shit. Denise also
(08:46):
alleged that the next day her eggs made the same
comments in the presence of his father, So she she's
going through all of these situations that happened most recently.
She also accused Aaron of going through her phonal laptop
while she slept and putting her messages on his laptop.
(09:07):
She stated in the document that Aaron woke her up
and screamed at me, you fucking bitch. I went into
your computer and saw your text messages, calling her a
line bitch. She alleged cour documents that Aaron smashed her
with the palm of his hand on her head while
(09:28):
she was using the toilet while screaming at her repeatedly
give me your fucking phone. These are explosive and serious.
And she was granted Lizzie temporary restraining order from the
Superior Court of California on Wednesday, July sixtheenth. She did
(09:52):
not request a restraining order for her children.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
I believe, first of all, everything that she said. I
don't know if you remember his job. He had some
sort of like government jobs something where he was really
into tuckie computers and like writing codes. I believe one
hundred percent that he probably put all types of softwares
on her devices. And you know, thank god she didn't
(10:17):
have any children with him. But not to make light
of this, but she is going to be fine. Him.
I don't know much about him, but she she's really
gone through the wringer with some ex's father children and
now Aaron, and she is going to be fine. She's
making a ton of money on OnlyFans. Her daughter's making
a ton of money on OnlyFans. She is going to
(10:39):
be fine. I mean, besides the emotional and mental and
physical abuse that he's you know, put upon her. But
she she's going to come out on top here. And
I wouldn't mind seeing her pop in say hello to
the girls. On this upcoming season of Beverly Hills. You know,
I'm sure they'd be thrilled to talk shit about it.
And I think that that would be nice to see
(11:00):
her in a different light and maybe less closed off
and controlled. You know, she had her own TV show
with her family. I didn't watch that. Admittedly, I watched
the first episode. They were fine, they were kookie, and
she deserves to get that light back. I did hear
from multiple people that did watch it that said she's
a totally different person on that show versus what she
was on the house. Really what way said, like in
(11:25):
a good way. They said that they you know, they
see the Denise Richards that you know, all of the
cast on Beverly Hills was like, this is not the
Denise Richards. We know, this is not the Denise Richards.
We know, like we know this fun side of Denise Richards.
That is apparently what they got on that show. I mean,
you know, it's tough to hold a family show. You
and I both know it's tough to a thirty minute,
(11:47):
especially an hour slot with just your family, and so
I did hear that that was the happier version and
if they could get in that version on Beverly Hills.
Everyone said that they would be excited to see her
interact with the cast like that.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Yeah, no, I listen. I also did not watch Denise
Richard's Wild Things spin off. I think she was super
fantastic on Beverly Hills, which obviously is an ensemble show.
It's tough to carry your own show, and this is
no disrespect to these riches, who I love and I've
always loved since I was a teenager watching her movies.
(12:24):
She's not the type of reality star who can carry
a show. It's difficult to do so, and I just
wasn't into it. But I am into the idea of
her look hanging out with Rachel Zoe. You know, shading dery.
Rachel Zough is following all of the Beverly Hills housewived
(12:46):
cast members excepted.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
And you know that that kills her being a fashionie,
stebbing in the fashion world Beverly Beach. You know that that?
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Oh my gosh, yeah so yeah, yeah, so rain Dross.
Rachel Zau, as you all know, has joined the Real
housewotsor Beverly Hills. I for one, now that show I
did watch. I love the Rachel Zoe project is how
we met the amazing talented Braggoreski, as you all know,
(13:19):
had an amazing time this Pass Awards season with Demi Moore.
But on top of that, Rachel Zeaud is not back.
She's on Housewives of Beverly Hills. She is following everybody
except Dery, which is hilarious because dere considers herself to
be a fashion girl. And y'all know I stand ten
toes now for Derek Kimsley, honey. However, dot Org when
(13:43):
it comes to Rachel Zau, she is the fashionista. Honey.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
There is not a world that I do not want
to see Derei on my screen, you know, on the
Beverly Hills Housewives. But I do like when her feathers
get ruffled like that. That is fun to me.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Yeah so yeah, yeah yeah so now so listen we
get to see that. But no, all all things considered,
I would love to see Denny's Richards back on Billy Hills,
even a friendwal capacity, because look, I would like to
hear more about her experience. My heart goes out to
Denny's Richards. My heart goes out to her daughters as well,
(14:23):
that she's taken care of and any woman obviously who
has been abused by the hands of any man. And
it's nothing to take lightly. So Denny's Richards, my love,
my heart goes out to you and your family, and
I just we really want the best for you, and
we really like, like Lizzie said, I'm with Lizzie, You're
(14:45):
going to be okay. You're going to be okay. You're
a strong woman, you're resilient, and you are going to
be okay.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Yeah, she's gonna be great. And you know, she's an
incredible role model model for her daughters. And I hope
that you know that he stays away from them. I
hope that he adheres to the court orders, and I
really hope that he just does not involve himself more
with those children, especially the youngest one, Elois. If you know,
he does not.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Have to agree. This is reality with the King, and
I'm Carlos King. Let's get back into the show. So listen,
let's circle into the Valley, Honey, which is a circular
drain of misfits. I love this show. But unfortunately Jacks
(15:32):
Taylor is not returning for the Valley season three. Instead,
he is going to focus on recovery his Bravo future
is uncertain. So Variety did an exclusive about this, and
this is what we know as of now. Okay, the
(15:54):
statement that Jax Taylor sent that Variety obtained reads and
I quote, after an incredibly challenging year, in many honest
conversations with my team and producers, I'll be stepping away
from the next season of The Valley right now. My
focus needs to be on my sobriety, my mental health
(16:17):
and co parenting relationship. Taking this time is necessary for
me to become the best version of myself, especially for
our son Cruise Non Rain Johns. As we all know,
next week is the season finale of The Valley. They
tape the reunion. I want to say two months ago.
(16:39):
We do know that Jack's had first chair at the
reunion opposite of his wife Brittany. Lizzy. When you heard
this news, what did you think?
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Okay, so I'm gonna throw it back. You and I
talked about this a few seasons ago for Potomac, when
you announced a departure of a cast member before the end.
You know, whether that be a reunion or a finale,
sometimes it takes you out of it. It definitely has
taken me a little bit out of it. You know,
when Candace announced her departure before the three part reunion
(17:14):
of Real Housewives of Potomach, I was a little bunn
because I'm like, where's the dog in the fight there? Right?
So I Jax is, ever since he's been on our screen,
has been a complete upper and downer, right, And so
I would like for him to get the best, be
(17:34):
his best self for his family, for his son, for himself.
But I wasn't upset, but it has taken me out
of it a little bit, if that makes sense. Like,
of course I'm invested because we've been invested in his life,
in Britney's life for so long, but I just feel
(17:55):
like I kind of feel like it's like, Okay, you know,
we've been watching The Valley this season. He's been absent
for a ton of episodes. Props to Jack's for filming
himself in rehab to put that in the episode so
that he still gets to check. Good for him, but
he hasn't gone on either of the trips. He has
been gone. And then when he is there, he's filming
with you know, Tom Sandeval, who is not a cast member.
(18:18):
Oh I'm sorry, Tom Schwartz. Tom Schwartz, who is not
a cast member. So it's he's easing himself out of
the group, you know, And I'm not so sad about it.
We love the villain, but there are plenty of them
on this season to go around that we do not
need Jacks Taylor. But I hope that he gets the help.
(18:38):
But it has taken me out, especially with announcing it
before the reunion, which is, you know, only two weeks away.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Yeah, the announcement coming right before the season finale airs
next week, then a two ParvE reunion. Something happened. Like
I said, Lizzie was also producer, and I also know
that with a reality star of Jackson's of stature listen,
(19:05):
love my Hatam, he is the face of event, you know,
like he was the staple of VPR Vantha pumb Rules,
He's a staple there. My opinion, allegedly allegedly allegedly, I think,
you know, Jackson was fired. I think he was lego.
(19:26):
I think he may have been seen as a liability.
I think his behavior made a lot of the audience
feel uncomfortable. I think the fact that on Camerara Britney said,
you're in rehab because you do cope, like like literally
(19:47):
called out the drug and he's like, oh, so you
haven't done it either. He did deny a girl. Yeah.
So when you have a casmin who have missed it
doing coke on camera, when you have a cast member
admitting to having cameras inside the house watching his wife
(20:09):
and child, Venosa her, I think I think all of that,
in my opinion, allegedly came to the conclusion where everybody
involved agreed that it may be best for him to
step down, which is surprising only because he was removed
from Vanta Pump Rules right right, yes, and this was
(20:34):
his second chance and he blew it after two seasons.
Lizzie blew it after ten seasons, yeh old.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
And I don't think that this is a harsh word
to say, but I mean, I think he's dangerous. I think,
you know, dangerous can mean all sorts of things, whether
that's being physical or just so mean, like he's a
dangerous person right now, Like you said, the cam in
the house, not to mention the multiple scenes that we've
gotten this week that are just uncomfortable to watch. I mean,
(21:08):
I love it, I love to watch it. I don't
love that it's happening, but you know, it's it's uncomfortable,
especially especially this week's scene. You know, I mean, if
you want to talk about just getting into everything that
he's done that's violated her privacy, and then you know,
we're sitting here watching this, the cameras are watching this,
the producers, the network, and they're like, yikes, Like if
(21:29):
we continue this, this is a liability.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Yeah, no, I think so. I think so. So let's
get into it. So in this week's episode, let's just
talk about the most explosive scene the episode, and that's
between Jack's and Britney and they're having an argument. A
lot of accusations are flying in in both directions, and Lizzie,
we can, you know, talk about all of them too.
(21:54):
One thing that occurred is Brittany is alleging that the
moment Jack's got released from rehab, he was back in
the bars, he was back hating out late. He again
was accused of doing coke. He did not deny it.
There were tons of accusations just about him, you know,
(22:18):
missing not being there for the cast trip, but also
feeling like he's taking xanax. She asked him, how many
xanacs did you take? Before you got here, are you
taking your bipolar medication? Like all of these accusations are
not cute, and he did not deny any of them.
(22:41):
Like Lizzie said, it is a dangerous liability. Cocaine, xanax
being bipolar obviously isn't a dangerous thing, but it is
to me. I took a step back Lizzie, and I
looked at like, if you are taking cocaine allegedly, if
you are allegedly taking xanax, if you are allegedly taken
(23:02):
by polar medication and you allegedly have a drinking problem,
I'm mean using rehab. But he said more so from
a hell that combination with alcohol is dangerous.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Oh it doesn't mix. Yeah, yeah, And and this scene
was I felt for Brittany because he walked in there
like this, you know, healed, perfect guy, perfect dad, walked
in there, all calm and cool. And that's exactly what
he does to her every time. It's what he's done
to her for the past ten years. You know. He
We watched him a few a few weeks ago with
(23:37):
Tom Schwartz and he got served as divorce papers and
he read them. You know, if I read divorce papers
let me tell you, I wouldn't know what the hell
they said here meant. But he acted like, oh this
is good. Fifty to fifty, you know, all good. I
can see him. This is good, right, you know, even
said that. He's like, I think this is great. He
gets in these situations and as soon as he season
(23:59):
out or something and he's like, I'm all good. And
so he comes in and he, you know, is talking
to her like nothing happened as a woman, as a wife.
You know, she has put in all of this time,
this energy. She's been humiliated time after time after time
on TV with this man, and you know she doesn't
(24:19):
want I'm sorry, let me take that back. She does
want him. She wants the man that she thought that
he could be. You know, she wanted to fix him.
And she said that a lot. She said, you know,
I've tried. I've tried. So when she's crying, she's crying,
she said, I'm crying out of anger. She is so
angry at him, and she's so sad that, you know,
her family didn't work, it failed, it failed because of him.
(24:40):
And he walks in there and he acts like this
different person, which is why I think that She said
are you on xan next, because he was like, oh,
I'm just here. I'm trying to set boundaries. No mother,
efft like you come here and you are a tornado
every other day. But now you want to act like,
you know, taken a step back to I'm filming. You
(25:01):
want to be able to see your child and you
want to you know, pin Me is the crazy one.
So she gets really worked up, and I get it.
You know, he he is videotaping her. We saw the
phone call that you know he had with her about
the ring camera, like he's trying to spy on her.
I'll never forget when we had Jasmine Good on this
podcast with you a few months ago and she said, oh,
(25:22):
I've been in the room where he calls her and
he is nasty to her. And then then he calls
Jasmine or she's her text and says, oh, oh sorry,
I got to hear the other I didn't really mean that.
Like he's playing her on all accounts, and he walks
in acting like, you know, oh, I hate that you
can throw this away. I want to make sure you
still want the divorce. Cool as a cucumber, and you're like,
(25:45):
what the hell, dude, you know, she's angry, and she's
allowed to be angry because people not on TV are
angry for years when they get betrayed on you know,
as many like too many fingers count how many times
he's portrayed her with all sorts of things. And you know,
and their son he was diagnosed, they announced with autism,
and you know, she I think she is trying to
(26:08):
keep her head above water with that. She does so
many more excellent, awesome things. And for him to tell
her that he wasn't going to pay for anything that
had to do with their son, like doctor's appointments, it
is no secret that he might be going to the
doctor a little more often or going to see specialists.
And you're sitting here telling her, no, nothing to do
(26:29):
that if you're not going to give me fifty fifty custody, Like,
I just don't understand. And he he played her with
that scene as well, and she has every right to
blow up. And it was just narcissist week on Bravo
between that and Real Housewives in Miami. I mean, they
it's time for him to take a step back. And really,
(26:52):
I don't think he might be missed in some you
know boys, nights, but it's it's uncomfortable to watch them.
And really, Brittany is going here that deserves to shine,
but she's hurt and she's gonna be hurt.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Yeah. No, Listen, we were able to see what a
season looked like without him based on her big in
rehab and look, Jesse and the boys to me took
the train and ran with it. So the good the
good news is this, I can't see a season of
the Valley without Jacks because I think the other guys
are just as strong, and I think Jesse Lally is
(27:30):
going to emerge as the king b of the show.
But when it comes to Jacks, you're right in that
scene where he talked about you make more money than
meet Brittany, why do not the pay for his stuff?
Like and you want full custody and you're able to
pay fifty to fifty with full custody, I'm not doing that.
It was so sad because for me it was the
(27:53):
realization that Jackson hasn't grown up to accept full responsibility
of the Stitch as he's made by bringing a child
into this world. Listen, addiction is severe. My heart goes
out to him in terms of dealing with the addiction.
That's nothing to sneeze at by any means. But I
(28:14):
also do think look, based on what we know Kim
Richards from Beverly Hills Housewots was dealing with when she
was open about her addiction when it comes to alcohol.
And we saw some sort of like concerning moments of
Kim Richards iconic, amazing, funny, but we did see some
concerning moments of her where we were like, huh, are
(28:38):
you really healed though? And I you know, my my
recent memory of me being concerned about Kim Richards. Do
you remember when Kim Richards had his boyfriend who.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
N Yeah, Bulldog Ken, Oh my gosh, that was That
was probably one of my favorite seasons because it was
I mean, it was stomach turning to watch, but yeah,
I was.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
I was shocked, right, you were shocked that she put
herself up in this situation. I remember Lisa that at
the pub looking like it's no one going to talk
about the elephant in the room that is can like,
what the fuck is happening here? And you didn't you
know in that moment something's not right with her? And
(29:26):
do you remember I think it was Kylee who came
to her room and they kept knocking, and they kept
knocking and knocking on the door, and then she finally
opens it up, and you're like, what were you guys
doing in the room?
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Remember she was looking for her lipstick, like I want
to even say it was like a weird like vibrator
that she pulled out, like it was.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Really aw Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Of course I remember that fall off the balcony.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Yeah, oh for sure. But Lizzy, that's that'shen I realized, like, look,
I'm all for entertainment when it comes to following the reality,
but when you visibly see somebody going through an addiction
and they're appears right, no sign of a recovery, that's
(30:20):
when you do have to make a decision. And look,
if Bravo made that decision, I respect it, I understand it.
I would love for Jack to get better just as
a human being. And being famous isn't easy. So when
you have an addiction being famous your own reality television,
(30:41):
you're addict to your wife in front of your child
at times, it is not At this point, it's sort
of like, dude, get to help you to eat?
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Yeah, And I really hope that he wants that for
himself too, you know. And and I feel like I
did see a picture kind of recently, definitely with in
the last few months where they celebrated like the Sun's birthday,
and both Brittany and Jackson were in the picture. And
I think that that's excellent because really there's nothing to
do but to heal. They're not going to get back together,
(31:15):
or at least I think the world hopes not. And
I but but you know, I just don't think he
is a strong He's not a strong solo artist. So
I don't know of any other you know, ventures that
that maybe will follow him on TV during this, uh,
(31:36):
during this journey of healing, and I he might be
scrambling with that, you know, like I all reality stars do, right,
you know, they announced their departure, then we see them
on you know, one off season of something else. Uh,
he was on House of the Villains. Yeah, he's a
(31:57):
great reality star. But right now he does need to
get help, and really he needs to. He needs to
be kinder to Brittany and they need to sit down
with some sort of mediator. And you know, now that
I think about that, we've never seen I don't think
correct me, if I'm wrong. I don't think we've ever
seen them sit down with Like we definitely didn't see
him go to to court or you know, see their
(32:18):
lawyers hash it out this year because obviously she just
served him with papers. But I don't even know that
that would be beneficial to do on camera, you know
what I mean? Like, he really does need to He
really does need to get the help he needs to
get it. And I wish Brittany the best because rewatching
this it can't be easy. And then I always say
(32:38):
this about you know, the kids, you really do once
you become a parent, you have to remember that one
day these kids are going to see it, and that's
just going to be unfortunate. You know. I thankful that
they remove them from the scenes, but they're going to
watch it one day. You're silly to say all these
stars that say, oh, they don't watch it, You're very
silly to think that they're never going to watch it.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Watch it right, Listen, listen. Did you see the scene
on The Kardashians on Hulu where Kim and Kanye's oldest
son is this Saint?
Speaker 2 (33:13):
I want to say it's same, Yeah, Saint is the
oldest son is.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
The oldest he found Kim Kardashian's sextape.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Of course, of course, oh yes, I do. I remember
that exact scene.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
Yes, yeah, yeah, like but but to your point, Lizzy,
at some point, and that happened well in nineteen ninety nine,
Like I forgot, that was so long ago that you
forget about it until you have a child, and the
internet is literally literally.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
But anyone forgot about that. But yeah, yeah, sure I
get here.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Yeah, well you know, ray J has it, but you
know that's not there there. But your kids, to your point, Lizzie,
they will one day watch it. And I really do
hope that Jax becomes a better person so that he
could be a better father. And that's what that's, honestly
all I.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
Care about, right, yeah, I mean that that's the end goal, right,
That's what we all want for him, love them or
hate him, that's what you want. And I will say
this one more thing about that in terms of him leaving,
I've brought up a lot that he is filmed with,
you know, some friends of At this point, that's kind
of all that he has. So I do not think
it's going to be a tough transition. You know, we
saw him come over and bring Kristin and Luke, you know,
(34:33):
something for their engagement, and they were really checked out
of it too. I feel like if Kristin, you know,
if Kristin thought that they needed him for this show.
She's really good at, you know, finding a way to
pull people back in. When she became friends with Jesse Lolly.
You know, the cast, they they're smart, they know what
is needed for these ensemble shows. And everyone kind of
(34:54):
really seems to be done with him.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Yeah, yeah, and listen, I think I wouldn't be some
price if the network may be done with him indefinitely,
because Lizzie, I just don't see a world where you
get three chances. I mean, look at Brindy Glanville, she
had to do you know what I mean, like when
(35:18):
you're let when you're let go twice allegedly. I think
it's hard. Listen, stranger things have happened, and maybe I'm wrong.
I think it's I think it's hard. Two different shows
you had to walk away from, and a lot of
(35:39):
them was only two seasons.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
So and yeah, I mean I don't I think for
it's only so long that you can say, oh welland
pump rules like I built that show. Maybe you did
not build the valley. Okay. That entire cast is like
you did not build the valley. You've been gone and
it's okay.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
And we want you to get okay. So rain drops listen.

Reality with the King is executive produced by me Carlos King,
produced by Lizzie Mimics, and a partnership with the Lack
Effect Network. You can also find us on my YouTube
channel at the Carlos King underscore,
Reality with the King is hosted by me, Carlos King.
I'm an executive producer who have produced some of your
favorite shows from the Real Housewives in Atlanta, New Jersey
and my own creation, The Love and Marriage Franchise and
Bell Collective. Every episode we recap reality television from the
Real Housewives Franchise to The Bachelor or Selling Sunset, in
(00:27):
addition to celebrity guests, whether in the unscripted space or
scripted as well. Hey, rain Drops, for today's episode Reality
with the King, Bravo, Bravo, fucking Bravo. There is so
much going on in today's news as it relates to
the Bravo celebrities making hit lies. We're talking about Jack Taylor,
(00:52):
who has announced his departure from the Valley. But first
we have to get into Denise Richards, who not only
has filed for divorce, she also is alleging that her
a strange soon to be ex husband, Aaron Piffers. She's
(01:14):
accusing him of domestic violence. But look, rain Drops, I
could not do this episode alone, so guess what I
want to introduce you to the woman who is sort
of like the curator of all of my life. My schedules,
everything I have going on. I'm talking about my assistant Lucy. Hi, Charles.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
I'm so excited to be here. I love when we
recap all of these these shows on the phone, so
thrilled to talk about it today, I.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Don't listen, so ray DAWs. I'm like, Lizzie, I got
this up my schedule. What am I doing today? What
am I doing here? And then I'm like, do you
have any time to gossip? And then we spend hours
talking about all of the home I'll swap in reality shows.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Right, That's pretty much how it goes. Yes, yeah, usually, yeah,
some gossip time.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Yeah, I know, I know. It's like Wednesdays at ten
o'clock am Eastern tenth to time because s Pacific it
is too late to do it. But we try to
get all of our gossip out the way so that
then I can like be this crazy boss that I am.
But Lizzie, there is so much going on the Bravo world.
What you guys don't know. Lizzie also worked as a
(02:32):
producer on a lot of the shows I worked on
as well, so she also has a great insight in
terms of production. However, she is like the biggest Bravo
fan of the world too, So this would be a
good conversation as we dive into this breaking news. So, Lizzie,
we have to get into Denise Richards. Okay, you ready
for this one? Absolutely, all right. So Denise Richards is
(02:57):
making shocking new accusations again against her soon to be
ex Aaron, and court documents obtained by People magazine, Richards
requested a temporary domestic violence restraining order against Aaron, sharing
(03:18):
alleged details in photos Lizzie, accusing him a physical assault. Lizzy,
listen to this. This is what she's alleging, she said
in the court documents, and I quote, Aaron would frequently
violently choke me, violently squeeze my head with both hands,
(03:39):
tightly squeezed my arms, violently slapped me in my face
and head, aggressively slammed my head into the bathroom tile rack,
threatning to kill me, hold me down with his knee
on my back to the point where I would have
to plead with him to get off of me so
that he would not kill me, and hack it to
(04:01):
my laptop and phone and download all of my text messages.
She has the less that Aaron would regularly threaten to
break her jaw and would cry beg her to stay
and promise to get help, which she said, none of
(04:21):
whichever happened, meaning the help Lizzie. Now, look, I only
know Aaron based on the few scenes of them together
on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. I am shocked
by all of this.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
The pictures, the pictures were so scary, so sad. I mean,
no one first ault, no one deserves that at all.
And I just feel like all the glimpses that we
got of him on the Housewives of Beverly Hills, there
was something kookie there. I mean, the girls also said
so also, you know the cast, they about his rage issues.
(05:02):
They talked about how they didn't like the way that
he talked to the other women on the cast. And
you know, I don't think I'm surprised, but I definitely
didn't think that anything like this was going on behind
closed doors. Because she wrote for him, She wrote for
him hard, you know, Yeah, that was that was my man,
my man, my man to her. You know, that was
(05:25):
her husband. He was, you know, a step in father
to her youngest daughter, Eloise, who she adopted. And that
is so scary that that's happening to a woman, a
wife in general, especially a mom. You know, that's it's
an unsafe environment. And I mean what I read said
that all of these things were happening, you know, at
(05:46):
even the latest July fourteenth, so that's like two days ago.
You know, that's it's that's really scary.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
No, it was so interesting, so so rain Drops, Like,
like Lizzie said, this happened a few days ago, some
of the later some of the accusations that she is
referring to. On top of that, Lizzie, you're so right,
I forgot that some of the Beverly Hills housewives. We'll
talk about his rage, We'll talk about oh my gosh, Linday,
(06:15):
something just hit me like him. No, Lizzie, remember, okay, Lizzy,
rain drops listen up. Okay. Remember when Denny's Richard's biggest
storyline was whether or not she slept with Brandy Glanville.
And I remember at the time, like, who cares if
(06:37):
you and Brandy had a fun girls night out? Like
I never thought it was a big deal. But think
about it, Lizzie. I now remember how she kept saying,
I'm a married woman. Aaron and I would have fun
with other girls together, but we never I would never
do that to my husband. In hindsight, if all of
these accusations are true, I now have an Aha moment
(07:01):
Lizzie of why she was so adamant about this not
being true, because she always said I would never sleep
with a girl without my husband President. Me and Brandy
never slept together. I always believed no shade that they did.
And I never understood why she kept saying she would
never do it and why Aaron would care if they have,
(07:23):
you know, situations with women together. But if he is
somebody that is of course abusive. Now it makes sense
why she was so afraid of that story coming out.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Oh absolutely. I mean the way that he even his
body language when he walked with her just was a
little off. You know. Obviously I'm not in their home
behind closed doors, but it did seem off, and it
was no you know, surprise for all the other girls
to feel that way too. She would leave scenes with him.
It's like she really wanted this rumor to be shut
(07:57):
down and shut down fast.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. So, like Lizzie said earlier in
this document, Denise Richards cited that this month, rain drops
from July fourth through the fourteenth, there has been a
recent alleged assault. Denise Richards claimed that Aaron and his
family I'm sorry. Denise claims that she asked Aaron and
(08:24):
his family to move out of townhomes she had least.
In the documents, Denise alleged that on July fourth or
the July Aaron and I quote got within two inches
of her face and screened degrading profanities, including calling her
the sea word and a piece of shit. Denise also
(08:46):
alleged that the next day her eggs made the same
comments in the presence of his father, So she she's
going through all of these situations that happened most recently.
She also accused Aaron of going through her phonal laptop
while she slept and putting her messages on his laptop.
(09:07):
She stated in the document that Aaron woke her up
and screamed at me, you fucking bitch. I went into
your computer and saw your text messages, calling her a
line bitch. She alleged cour documents that Aaron smashed her
with the palm of his hand on her head while
(09:28):
she was using the toilet while screaming at her repeatedly
give me your fucking phone. These are explosive and serious.
And she was granted Lizzie temporary restraining order from the
Superior Court of California on Wednesday, July sixtheenth. She did
(09:52):
not request a restraining order for her children.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
I believe, first of all, everything that she said. I
don't know if you remember his job. He had some
sort of like government jobs something where he was really
into tuckie computers and like writing codes. I believe one
hundred percent that he probably put all types of softwares
on her devices. And you know, thank god she didn't
(10:17):
have any children with him. But not to make light
of this, but she is going to be fine. Him.
I don't know much about him, but she she's really
gone through the wringer with some ex's father children and
now Aaron, and she is going to be fine. She's
making a ton of money on OnlyFans. Her daughter's making
a ton of money on OnlyFans. She is going to
(10:39):
be fine. I mean, besides the emotional and mental and
physical abuse that he's you know, put upon her. But
she she's going to come out on top here. And
I wouldn't mind seeing her pop in say hello to
the girls. On this upcoming season of Beverly Hills. You know,
I'm sure they'd be thrilled to talk shit about it.
And I think that that would be nice to see
(11:00):
her in a different light and maybe less closed off
and controlled. You know, she had her own TV show
with her family. I didn't watch that. Admittedly, I watched
the first episode. They were fine, they were kookie, and
she deserves to get that light back. I did hear
from multiple people that did watch it that said she's
a totally different person on that show versus what she
was on the house. Really what way said, like in
(11:25):
a good way. They said that they you know, they
see the Denise Richards that you know, all of the
cast on Beverly Hills was like, this is not the
Denise Richards. We know, this is not the Denise Richards.
We know, like we know this fun side of Denise Richards.
That is apparently what they got on that show. I mean,
you know, it's tough to hold a family show. You
and I both know it's tough to a thirty minute,
(11:47):
especially an hour slot with just your family, and so
I did hear that that was the happier version and
if they could get in that version on Beverly Hills.
Everyone said that they would be excited to see her
interact with the cast like that.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Yeah, no, I listen. I also did not watch Denise
Richard's Wild Things spin off. I think she was super
fantastic on Beverly Hills, which obviously is an ensemble show.
It's tough to carry your own show, and this is
no disrespect to these riches, who I love and I've
always loved since I was a teenager watching her movies.
(12:24):
She's not the type of reality star who can carry
a show. It's difficult to do so, and I just
wasn't into it. But I am into the idea of
her look hanging out with Rachel Zoe. You know, shading dery.
Rachel Zough is following all of the Beverly Hills housewived
(12:46):
cast members excepted.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
And you know that that kills her being a fashionie,
stebbing in the fashion world Beverly Beach. You know that that?
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Oh my gosh, yeah so yeah, yeah, so rain Dross.
Rachel Zau, as you all know, has joined the Real
housewotsor Beverly Hills. I for one, now that show I
did watch. I love the Rachel Zoe project is how
we met the amazing talented Braggoreski, as you all know,
(13:19):
had an amazing time this Pass Awards season with Demi Moore.
But on top of that, Rachel Zeaud is not back.
She's on Housewives of Beverly Hills. She is following everybody
except Dery, which is hilarious because dere considers herself to
be a fashion girl. And y'all know I stand ten
toes now for Derek Kimsley, honey. However, dot Org when
(13:43):
it comes to Rachel Zau, she is the fashionista. Honey.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
There is not a world that I do not want
to see Derei on my screen, you know, on the
Beverly Hills Housewives. But I do like when her feathers
get ruffled like that. That is fun to me.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Yeah so yeah, yeah yeah so now so listen we
get to see that. But no, all all things considered,
I would love to see Denny's Richards back on Billy Hills,
even a friendwal capacity, because look, I would like to
hear more about her experience. My heart goes out to
Denny's Richards. My heart goes out to her daughters as well,
(14:23):
that she's taken care of and any woman obviously who
has been abused by the hands of any man. And
it's nothing to take lightly. So Denny's Richards, my love,
my heart goes out to you and your family, and
I just we really want the best for you, and
we really like, like Lizzie said, I'm with Lizzie, You're
(14:45):
going to be okay. You're going to be okay. You're
a strong woman, you're resilient, and you are going to
be okay.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Yeah, she's gonna be great. And you know, she's an
incredible role model model for her daughters. And I hope
that you know that he stays away from them. I
hope that he adheres to the court orders, and I
really hope that he just does not involve himself more
with those children, especially the youngest one, Elois. If you know,
he does not.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Have to agree. This is reality with the King, and
I'm Carlos King. Let's get back into the show. So listen,
let's circle into the Valley, Honey, which is a circular
drain of misfits. I love this show. But unfortunately Jacks
(15:32):
Taylor is not returning for the Valley season three. Instead,
he is going to focus on recovery his Bravo future
is uncertain. So Variety did an exclusive about this, and
this is what we know as of now. Okay, the
(15:54):
statement that Jax Taylor sent that Variety obtained reads and
I quote, after an incredibly challenging year, in many honest
conversations with my team and producers, I'll be stepping away
from the next season of The Valley right now. My
focus needs to be on my sobriety, my mental health
(16:17):
and co parenting relationship. Taking this time is necessary for
me to become the best version of myself, especially for
our son Cruise Non Rain Johns. As we all know,
next week is the season finale of The Valley. They
tape the reunion. I want to say two months ago.
(16:39):
We do know that Jack's had first chair at the
reunion opposite of his wife Brittany. Lizzy. When you heard
this news, what did you think?
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Okay, so I'm gonna throw it back. You and I
talked about this a few seasons ago for Potomac, when
you announced a departure of a cast member before the end.
You know, whether that be a reunion or a finale,
sometimes it takes you out of it. It definitely has
taken me a little bit out of it. You know,
when Candace announced her departure before the three part reunion
(17:14):
of Real Housewives of Potomach, I was a little bunn
because I'm like, where's the dog in the fight there? Right?
So I Jax is, ever since he's been on our screen,
has been a complete upper and downer, right, And so
I would like for him to get the best, be
(17:34):
his best self for his family, for his son, for himself.
But I wasn't upset, but it has taken me out
of it a little bit, if that makes sense. Like,
of course I'm invested because we've been invested in his life,
in Britney's life for so long, but I just feel
(17:55):
like I kind of feel like it's like, Okay, you know,
we've been watching The Valley this season. He's been absent
for a ton of episodes. Props to Jack's for filming
himself in rehab to put that in the episode so
that he still gets to check. Good for him, but
he hasn't gone on either of the trips. He has
been gone. And then when he is there, he's filming
with you know, Tom Sandeval, who is not a cast member.
(18:18):
Oh I'm sorry, Tom Schwartz. Tom Schwartz, who is not
a cast member. So it's he's easing himself out of
the group, you know, And I'm not so sad about it.
We love the villain, but there are plenty of them
on this season to go around that we do not
need Jacks Taylor. But I hope that he gets the help.
(18:38):
But it has taken me out, especially with announcing it
before the reunion, which is, you know, only two weeks away.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Yeah, the announcement coming right before the season finale airs
next week, then a two ParvE reunion. Something happened. Like
I said, Lizzie was also producer, and I also know
that with a reality star of Jackson's of stature listen,
(19:05):
love my Hatam, he is the face of event, you know,
like he was the staple of VPR Vantha pumb Rules,
He's a staple there. My opinion, allegedly allegedly allegedly, I think,
you know, Jackson was fired. I think he was lego.
(19:26):
I think he may have been seen as a liability.
I think his behavior made a lot of the audience
feel uncomfortable. I think the fact that on Camerara Britney said,
you're in rehab because you do cope, like like literally
(19:47):
called out the drug and he's like, oh, so you
haven't done it either. He did deny a girl. Yeah.
So when you have a casmin who have missed it
doing coke on camera, when you have a cast member
admitting to having cameras inside the house watching his wife
(20:09):
and child, Venosa her, I think I think all of that,
in my opinion, allegedly came to the conclusion where everybody
involved agreed that it may be best for him to
step down, which is surprising only because he was removed
from Vanta Pump Rules right right, yes, and this was
(20:34):
his second chance and he blew it after two seasons.
Lizzie blew it after ten seasons, yeh old.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
And I don't think that this is a harsh word
to say, but I mean, I think he's dangerous. I think,
you know, dangerous can mean all sorts of things, whether
that's being physical or just so mean, like he's a
dangerous person right now, Like you said, the cam in
the house, not to mention the multiple scenes that we've
gotten this week that are just uncomfortable to watch. I mean,
(21:08):
I love it, I love to watch it. I don't
love that it's happening, but you know, it's it's uncomfortable,
especially especially this week's scene. You know, I mean, if
you want to talk about just getting into everything that
he's done that's violated her privacy, and then you know,
we're sitting here watching this, the cameras are watching this,
the producers, the network, and they're like, yikes, Like if
(21:29):
we continue this, this is a liability.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Yeah, no, I think so. I think so. So let's
get into it. So in this week's episode, let's just
talk about the most explosive scene the episode, and that's
between Jack's and Britney and they're having an argument. A
lot of accusations are flying in in both directions, and Lizzie,
we can, you know, talk about all of them too.
(21:54):
One thing that occurred is Brittany is alleging that the
moment Jack's got released from rehab, he was back in
the bars, he was back hating out late. He again
was accused of doing coke. He did not deny it.
There were tons of accusations just about him, you know,
(22:18):
missing not being there for the cast trip, but also
feeling like he's taking xanax. She asked him, how many
xanacs did you take? Before you got here, are you
taking your bipolar medication? Like all of these accusations are
not cute, and he did not deny any of them.
(22:41):
Like Lizzie said, it is a dangerous liability. Cocaine, xanax
being bipolar obviously isn't a dangerous thing, but it is
to me. I took a step back Lizzie, and I
looked at like, if you are taking cocaine allegedly, if
you are allegedly taking xanax, if you are allegedly taken
(23:02):
by polar medication and you allegedly have a drinking problem,
I'm mean using rehab. But he said more so from
a hell that combination with alcohol is dangerous.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Oh it doesn't mix. Yeah, yeah, And and this scene
was I felt for Brittany because he walked in there
like this, you know, healed, perfect guy, perfect dad, walked
in there, all calm and cool. And that's exactly what
he does to her every time. It's what he's done
to her for the past ten years. You know. He
We watched him a few a few weeks ago with
(23:37):
Tom Schwartz and he got served as divorce papers and
he read them. You know, if I read divorce papers
let me tell you, I wouldn't know what the hell
they said here meant. But he acted like, oh this
is good. Fifty to fifty, you know, all good. I
can see him. This is good, right, you know, even
said that. He's like, I think this is great. He
gets in these situations and as soon as he season
(23:59):
out or something and he's like, I'm all good. And
so he comes in and he, you know, is talking
to her like nothing happened as a woman, as a wife.
You know, she has put in all of this time,
this energy. She's been humiliated time after time after time
on TV with this man, and you know she doesn't
(24:19):
want I'm sorry, let me take that back. She does
want him. She wants the man that she thought that
he could be. You know, she wanted to fix him.
And she said that a lot. She said, you know,
I've tried. I've tried. So when she's crying, she's crying,
she said, I'm crying out of anger. She is so
angry at him, and she's so sad that, you know,
her family didn't work, it failed, it failed because of him.
(24:40):
And he walks in there and he acts like this
different person, which is why I think that She said
are you on xan next, because he was like, oh,
I'm just here. I'm trying to set boundaries. No mother,
efft like you come here and you are a tornado
every other day. But now you want to act like,
you know, taken a step back to I'm filming. You
(25:01):
want to be able to see your child and you
want to you know, pin Me is the crazy one.
So she gets really worked up, and I get it.
You know, he he is videotaping her. We saw the
phone call that you know he had with her about
the ring camera, like he's trying to spy on her.
I'll never forget when we had Jasmine Good on this
podcast with you a few months ago and she said, oh,
(25:22):
I've been in the room where he calls her and
he is nasty to her. And then then he calls
Jasmine or she's her text and says, oh, oh sorry,
I got to hear the other I didn't really mean that.
Like he's playing her on all accounts, and he walks
in acting like, you know, oh, I hate that you
can throw this away. I want to make sure you
still want the divorce. Cool as a cucumber, and you're like,
(25:45):
what the hell, dude, you know, she's angry, and she's
allowed to be angry because people not on TV are
angry for years when they get betrayed on you know,
as many like too many fingers count how many times
he's portrayed her with all sorts of things. And you know,
and their son he was diagnosed, they announced with autism,
and you know, she I think she is trying to
(26:08):
keep her head above water with that. She does so
many more excellent, awesome things. And for him to tell
her that he wasn't going to pay for anything that
had to do with their son, like doctor's appointments, it
is no secret that he might be going to the
doctor a little more often or going to see specialists.
And you're sitting here telling her, no, nothing to do
(26:29):
that if you're not going to give me fifty fifty custody, Like,
I just don't understand. And he he played her with
that scene as well, and she has every right to
blow up. And it was just narcissist week on Bravo
between that and Real Housewives in Miami. I mean, they
it's time for him to take a step back. And really,
(26:52):
I don't think he might be missed in some you
know boys, nights, but it's it's uncomfortable to watch them.
And really, Brittany is going here that deserves to shine,
but she's hurt and she's gonna be hurt.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Yeah. No, Listen, we were able to see what a
season looked like without him based on her big in
rehab and look, Jesse and the boys to me took
the train and ran with it. So the good the
good news is this, I can't see a season of
the Valley without Jacks because I think the other guys
are just as strong, and I think Jesse Lally is
(27:30):
going to emerge as the king b of the show.
But when it comes to Jacks, you're right in that
scene where he talked about you make more money than
meet Brittany, why do not the pay for his stuff?
Like and you want full custody and you're able to
pay fifty to fifty with full custody, I'm not doing that.
It was so sad because for me it was the
(27:53):
realization that Jackson hasn't grown up to accept full responsibility
of the Stitch as he's made by bringing a child
into this world. Listen, addiction is severe. My heart goes
out to him in terms of dealing with the addiction.
That's nothing to sneeze at by any means. But I
(28:14):
also do think look, based on what we know Kim
Richards from Beverly Hills Housewots was dealing with when she
was open about her addiction when it comes to alcohol.
And we saw some sort of like concerning moments of
Kim Richards iconic, amazing, funny, but we did see some
concerning moments of her where we were like, huh, are
(28:38):
you really healed though? And I you know, my my
recent memory of me being concerned about Kim Richards. Do
you remember when Kim Richards had his boyfriend who.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
N Yeah, Bulldog Ken, Oh my gosh, that was That
was probably one of my favorite seasons because it was
I mean, it was stomach turning to watch, but yeah,
I was.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
I was shocked, right, you were shocked that she put
herself up in this situation. I remember Lisa that at
the pub looking like it's no one going to talk
about the elephant in the room that is can like,
what the fuck is happening here? And you didn't you
know in that moment something's not right with her? And
(29:26):
do you remember I think it was Kylee who came
to her room and they kept knocking, and they kept
knocking and knocking on the door, and then she finally
opens it up, and you're like, what were you guys
doing in the room?
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Remember she was looking for her lipstick, like I want
to even say it was like a weird like vibrator
that she pulled out, like it was.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Really aw Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Of course I remember that fall off the balcony.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Yeah, oh for sure. But Lizzy, that's that'shen I realized, like, look,
I'm all for entertainment when it comes to following the reality,
but when you visibly see somebody going through an addiction
and they're appears right, no sign of a recovery, that's
(30:20):
when you do have to make a decision. And look,
if Bravo made that decision, I respect it, I understand it.
I would love for Jack to get better just as
a human being. And being famous isn't easy. So when
you have an addiction being famous your own reality television,
(30:41):
you're addict to your wife in front of your child
at times, it is not At this point, it's sort
of like, dude, get to help you to eat?
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Yeah, And I really hope that he wants that for
himself too, you know. And and I feel like I
did see a picture kind of recently, definitely with in
the last few months where they celebrated like the Sun's birthday,
and both Brittany and Jackson were in the picture. And
I think that that's excellent because really there's nothing to
do but to heal. They're not going to get back together,
(31:15):
or at least I think the world hopes not. And
I but but you know, I just don't think he
is a strong He's not a strong solo artist. So
I don't know of any other you know, ventures that
that maybe will follow him on TV during this, uh,
(31:36):
during this journey of healing, and I he might be
scrambling with that, you know, like I all reality stars do, right,
you know, they announced their departure, then we see them
on you know, one off season of something else. Uh,
he was on House of the Villains. Yeah, he's a
(31:57):
great reality star. But right now he does need to
get help, and really he needs to. He needs to
be kinder to Brittany and they need to sit down
with some sort of mediator. And you know, now that
I think about that, we've never seen I don't think
correct me, if I'm wrong. I don't think we've ever
seen them sit down with Like we definitely didn't see
him go to to court or you know, see their
(32:18):
lawyers hash it out this year because obviously she just
served him with papers. But I don't even know that
that would be beneficial to do on camera, you know
what I mean? Like, he really does need to He
really does need to get the help he needs to
get it. And I wish Brittany the best because rewatching
this it can't be easy. And then I always say
(32:38):
this about you know, the kids, you really do once
you become a parent, you have to remember that one
day these kids are going to see it, and that's
just going to be unfortunate. You know. I thankful that
they remove them from the scenes, but they're going to
watch it one day. You're silly to say all these
stars that say, oh, they don't watch it, You're very
silly to think that they're never going to watch it.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Watch it right, Listen, listen. Did you see the scene
on The Kardashians on Hulu where Kim and Kanye's oldest
son is this Saint?
Speaker 2 (33:13):
I want to say it's same, Yeah, Saint is the
oldest son is.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
The oldest he found Kim Kardashian's sextape.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Of course, of course, oh yes, I do. I remember
that exact scene.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
Yes, yeah, yeah, like but but to your point, Lizzy,
at some point, and that happened well in nineteen ninety nine,
Like I forgot, that was so long ago that you
forget about it until you have a child, and the
internet is literally literally.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
But anyone forgot about that. But yeah, yeah, sure I
get here.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Yeah, well you know, ray J has it, but you
know that's not there there. But your kids, to your point, Lizzie,
they will one day watch it. And I really do
hope that Jax becomes a better person so that he
could be a better father. And that's what that's, honestly
all I.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
Care about, right, yeah, I mean that that's the end goal, right,
That's what we all want for him, love them or
hate him, that's what you want. And I will say
this one more thing about that in terms of him leaving,
I've brought up a lot that he is filmed with,
you know, some friends of At this point, that's kind
of all that he has. So I do not think
it's going to be a tough transition. You know, we
saw him come over and bring Kristin and Luke, you know,
(34:33):
something for their engagement, and they were really checked out
of it too. I feel like if Kristin, you know,
if Kristin thought that they needed him for this show.
She's really good at, you know, finding a way to
pull people back in. When she became friends with Jesse Lolly.
You know, the cast, they they're smart, they know what
is needed for these ensemble shows. And everyone kind of
(34:54):
really seems to be done with him.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Yeah, yeah, and listen, I think I wouldn't be some
price if the network may be done with him indefinitely,
because Lizzie, I just don't see a world where you
get three chances. I mean, look at Brindy Glanville, she
had to do you know what I mean, like when
(35:18):
you're let when you're let go twice allegedly. I think
it's hard. Listen, stranger things have happened, and maybe I'm wrong.
I think it's I think it's hard. Two different shows
you had to walk away from, and a lot of
(35:39):
them was only two seasons.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
So and yeah, I mean I don't I think for
it's only so long that you can say, oh welland
pump rules like I built that show. Maybe you did
not build the valley. Okay. That entire cast is like
you did not build the valley. You've been gone and
it's okay.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
And we want you to get okay. So rain drops listen.
