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. Ray Drops Orange. You glad that The
Real Housewives of Orange County is back for the past
two seasons, I personally felt like our HOC was the
(00:49):
best show out of all the franchise. They literally have
the best two seasons consecutively, which is unheard of in
this new age of watching television. Let's be clear, Honey,
Atlanta will always be that girl. Okay, However, I will
always give oc as props for having the top show.
(01:13):
They tied a little bit last year with Oh No,
with Salt Lake City. With Salt Lake City, shout out
to those ladies. But but blah blah blah blah, bah
blah blah blah blah blah blah. The past two seasons,
Tamera Heather, Emily, Gina, Jennifer, Shannon, and Liar Liar Katie
(01:38):
on fire. But look I digress. So let's let's just
get right into it. Okay, so check this out. We
need to get into the season premiere. I thought the
premiere was solid. I'm looking forward to what the rest
(02:00):
of his season is going to bring. But one thing
I know it is not going to bring, Honey, is
Alexis back. I am sad to see Alexis not there,
especially since Shannon opened up the episode updating us that
she decided to settle with John and she paid him
(02:22):
sixty thousand dollars out of the money that he loaned her,
and Shannon made a joke that now the money can
be used to pay for John an Alexis wedding. So look,
that has been settled. I will say that I'm gonna
(02:46):
miss Alexis on the show because I look, before y'all
throw tomatoes at my head. Hear me out. I love
it when you have a reality star who is able
to sort of come into a situation and activate the
girls right like how Marlow Hampton will forever go down
(03:11):
in history as the best friend of in the history
of the real Housewives. No friend up will ever top
marlow Patrice Hampton. Marlow is top tier. She claim in
fucks some shuit up and went home. She went home
(03:31):
with a white man that she met the fourth seasons
the sofa ta I'm teasing, I'm teasing, that's that's a joke.
But listen, marlow will come on to the set, child,
gather the girls, activate them, and they go ahead and
live her soft life. That's why I love you, So Marlowe.
Marlowe does not want to work a full time job.
(03:55):
She has no desire. That's why she was excellent at
being a friend of So when you look at Alexis,
I will say I felt that Alexis brought out the
best of Shannon. My opinion. I know it's not a
popular one, but hey, this podcast is so you're liking
for a reason because my opinions are what real. So, Alexis,
(04:19):
you will be missed. But baby, that's sixty thousand dollars
I'm pretty sure will just be the down payment for
the million dollar wedding she and John are going to
have that's going to revival Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez
in Italy. So I'm rooting for the Jensens. Okay, so
(04:43):
Shannla's great. She updated us of what was going on
in her life. Okay, so we appreciated that. But let's
get into the meat potatoes of this episode. The one
thing I felt that was missing in the premiere was
on fire and desire. Okay, it needed a little bit
(05:07):
of a kick, a little punch. It was nice to
see Tamar and Therapy would get to that in a second.
But I felt that, ay, y'all tell me if y'all
did not feel this way. I felt that all the
girls were kind of playing it safe. I thought that
MVP of this episode was actually Emily. I really did
(05:30):
enjoy Emily a lot in this episode. I thought she
was activated. I appreciated Emily giving us honesty when it
came to exactly what her son is going through, which
to me, my heart goes out to Emily dealing with
a son who isn't eating and the doctor first diagnosed
(05:56):
him as having a possible eating disorder, only to find
out that he could be autistic, which would make sense.
I have a nephew who is autistic, and unfortunately, at
his age, he isn't able to eat a lot of
solid foods is just something that his parents are just
(06:20):
trying to get him to graduate from versus the sippy
cup in the bottle. So I'm happy that Emily and
her husband were able to really look at this situation
and really get down to the nitty gritty of it.
But it was a powerful, powerful moment out of Emily,
(06:43):
who really did share a lot in this episode. So listen,
raising a child who is autistic, and in this case,
we're going to watch the rest of the season to
see if he has been fully diagnosed as that. As
of now, it's a possibility. But any parent that has
(07:06):
a child who is autistic knows what a what a
tough job it could be, and how it takes a
lot of TLC to do a lot of work to
get them to a place of eating and just whatever
degrees of autism that they have. So Emily, if you're listening,
(07:31):
my sweet baby, my heart goes out to you. I'm
pretty sure it's tough. I can only imagine, but I
will say this, you are a great mother. You are
a great mother. And one thing I told my brother
is God made sure that if any of us had
(07:59):
a child who was all God knew who the right
parents in my opinion, who was the best parent to
handle it? And I think my brother, who's a sweetheart,
is the perfect champ to handle something that is tough.
And Emily, if that happens to be his diagnosis, know
(08:20):
that God has put you in the best position to
be the best caregiver, caretaker, mother, friend, supporter for this boy.
So my heart goes out to you. It was my
favorite part of the episode, honestly to see Emily in
that state, because as you all know, I love personal story.
(08:41):
I love personal story, and I also love it when
someone is clocked lying. Katie, you are a danger girl.
Demi Moore would be Goldberg. Where are you? Katie? I
can't defend you and Katie to me, I said this
last season. I never felt that Katie was a star.
(09:08):
I didn't love her, but I did not dislike her.
Does that make any sense? I didn't. You know, It's
sort of like when you're dating and you know, how
like you're dating somebody and the guy let me speak
to the girls and the gaze and the days, so listen,
you know how like you meet a guy and you
(09:31):
know he's cute, but when he opens his mouth, it's
sort of like that calming app where the conversation puts
you to sleep, Katie puts me to sleep. I don't
see and Katie, if you're listening, I'm not throwing Shaye.
(09:55):
I'm being honest. I think you are a beautiful woman.
Katie's gorgeous actually, in the words of Aretha Franklin, beautiful gowns.
In the words of Phaedra and Candy. When they went
to the beginning of Chata Charade season four, nothing was
(10:17):
there Katie. If Katie is the villain, I don't know
how this season gonna be. Katie is the worst villain
because Katie doesn't own up to anything, and she's not
She's not strong enough to like combat the girls like okay, okay,
(10:49):
road with me, guys. Katie will go down in history
as the worst villain that this franchise has ever seen.
And when I say franchise, Honey, I mean all cities.
Because Katie doesn't have the teeth, she doesn't have the punch,
she doesn't have the gravataz. She's no Audriana on Miami Housewife.
(11:15):
She's no ken Yamore, she's no Tamar Judge. And because
Tamar is dealing with something in therapy, which again we'll
get to that a second. We only have Katie and
now I'm like, well, shit, I see why they brought
Gretchen back, not saying that gretch would be the villain.
I don't know what's going on on this on this
(11:35):
season of OC, but I can tell you off right now.
I am not interested in Katie being the villain only
because she does not defend herself. Villains are interesting when
they're like, fuck you bitch. This is how I feel.
I said what I said. Now what else is going on?
Go twirl over there? Okay, you want to sprinkle cookies?
(11:55):
Like you know, like, what are we doing here? I
brought the laws to Rhode Island, break Marge to OC. Indeed,
I don't know. It's a little quiet. It's a little quiet.
But anyways, let me update y'all. Okay, so this is
(12:19):
the story. Remember last season when it was this whole
conversation about whether or not Emily was talking shit about
Heather around her children, and then Katie's daughter, who I
(12:42):
guess was a baby sitter or something child, she alleged
that Emily's kids told her that their mother talks shit
about Heather. Okay, so all that happened, Emily denied it.
(13:03):
Heather forgave her. Katie said, my daughter said she heard him,
and my daughter's not a liar. Okay, fine, boo boo bon.
So apparently the ex nanny of Emily's contacted Katie okay
(13:24):
to pretty much say to her, I can vouch that
Emily does talk shit about Heather around her kids, that
this is true. Katie is alleging that she told the
(13:45):
ex nanny to contact the podcast host from All About
the Real Housewives podcast to tell her side of the
story to them, right, not necessarily tell us how the story,
but like, girl, listen to this podcast because that's what
(14:07):
that's the podcast in which my daughter did an interview. Okay,
Katie's alleging she did not tell the ex nanny to
tell her story in the podcast, but she encouraged the
ex nanny to listen to her daughter's interview and then
two to three four business day's letter later, allegedly the
(14:30):
ex nanny is on that same podcast. So, as you
all know, the ladies over at All About the Her
Housewives have been on Reality with the King, Hey Michiganders,
and they have tweeted about this particular storyline and how
they are being used in this in this show. So
(14:52):
this is what they have to say, and I want
to read it directly from their tweets. Okay, are you
all ready for this? All about the Real Housewives said,
We did not seek out the babysitter. She came to us.
We've had a respectful relationship with Katie, as we do
(15:13):
with many housewives. We shared a small part of what
we were shown because Katie's daughter was being unfairly called
a liar by Emily. They go on to say in
the brief conversation, they have the babysitter. She showed us
(15:36):
what Emily said when she found out the babysitter spoke
to us, but we never shared the publicly. She also
show us pictures on photos for contexts, which we chose
not to post. She mentioned that her kids are aware
of a lot and that Emily often speaks freely around them,
(15:56):
which isn't a big deal. They also tweeted Emily mentioned
concerns about people judging her parenting, but realistically, kids overhearing
things all the time. That alone does not define someone's
parenting skills. So that's what they have to say about that.
(16:18):
Particular conversation that they had with the ex nanny. Now,
I'm gonna say this. One of the things we know
is reality shows are popular, and as the creator and
executive producer of them, I Carlos kingk love the bloggers
who take time out of their day to even recap
(16:39):
any show that I created because it helps the show
grow in ratings and audience. Okay, the bloggers, the content creators,
podcast hosts, I appreciate them all. There is, however, a
slippery slope when you, as a current reality star on
(17:00):
a current reality show, start feeding things to the aforementioned people. Okay,
it's great to have a friendship, it's great to have
a relationship, but when you start to use them to
feed information to them for them to release publicly, that's
(17:21):
when things can get a little bit dangerous. I'm not
saying that's what Katie did in this particular situation, but
what I will say is everything's about intention, and Katie,
you are not dumb. Katie, to me, is incapable of
(17:42):
telling the truth. That whole situation with the car story,
remember that last season about her getting stoped by the car,
I mean, by the no somebody tried to like cuss
her out while they were driving, and she called the cops,
and the cops got involved and then went to the
person's how whatever. I think Katie's is a liar allegedly.
(18:06):
I just I don't buy anything that Katie is selling.
And every time she's confronted with something, she looks like
she's trying to come up with another lie on top
of the lie. And that's why it's hard for me
to like get her. I don't get Katie. Katie just
(18:31):
Katie doesn't have the I or the T or the
T or the eye or the UT. I I don't
Katie doesn't have nothing. Child. I don't know. Katie doesn't
have it. I don't understand it. I don't get it.
I don't get it. I don't get it. I don't
get it. Katie ain't it baby, she ain't it wrong?
Road recast return to send her bring back my girls.
(18:57):
I mean, what are we doing here? I don't I'll
understand Katie's participation on the show. This is reality with
the King, and I'm Carlos King. Let's get back into
the show. Okay, enough of my rant. So that happened
(19:18):
and we'll get to what happened at Shannon's event later
in the episode. But before we get to that, let's
do a round of applause. Q the clapping sound effects.
(19:39):
This season marks Tamor Judge as the longest running housewife
of all time. What this means is Tamra has had
more seasons on their show than any other high she
(20:02):
has become the number one longest running housewife. Now what's
interesting is Shannon not Shannon Lord Jesus. Tamra started season two,
so as a season one I believe that title may
(20:24):
be a tie between Teresa and Kyle. I think Kyle,
after she finishes this season, will beat Teresa since Jersey's
on Paul. But nonetheless, Tamar Judge has made history as
the longest running housewife, So please give her a round
(20:46):
of applause. She is a formidable, fucking fantastic talent. And
I applaud Tamra judge participation on the show because, in
my opinion, there is no ver a housewatch of O
See without Tamra Judge. I said it and I stand
on it. Thank you. Tamar is in therapy. I'm dealing
(21:14):
with some of her past behavior. Now I'm gonna be
very honest with you when I saw that they were
showing Tamar in therapy. I'm like, oh gosh, please tell
me this isn't the you know, quintessential scene where it's
the amazing force multiplying villainous housewife who is going to
(21:38):
therapy to make herself likable for the audience. I'm like, oh,
my gosh, please tell me this isn't what is going
to be. I was happy to finish this scene to
be like, oh, this actually is not that. This actually
is Tamor trying to figure things out because of what
(21:58):
she is going through with her daughter and what she
is going through with her best friend Teddy Mellencamp, who
we all know have tumors in her brain and was
dealing with that while they were filming. My heart goes
out to Tamra. As you all know, my heart will
always go out to Teddy Walters, who is getting better
(22:19):
by the day. So keep your thoughts in prayers to Teddy.
But it was nice to see the softest side of Tamra,
I will say that. And to me, it wasn't like
I thought it was going to be, like a overly
produced scene to really make our villain look victorious. Once
you strip away all of that and you really lean
(22:42):
into what Tamra is going through currently. The reason why
it was a powerful scene is because she was able
to identify past behaviors, past trauma and how they showed
up today, but more importantly, how she is dealing with
something currently as it relates to your best friend who
(23:06):
also is your co host of the podcast, to tease
in a pod that is dealing with something so devastating.
So I've really enjoyed seeing Tamar in that position because
my hope is that she's able to really do the work.
And I also appreciated the fact that they were also
(23:29):
opening up about how Tamra did on her podcast, telling
us she was on the spectrum and how she needed
to have more information before she delivered that to the
millions of listeners that she has. So what's nice to
(23:51):
know that that was included. And one thing she mentioned
that I do want to address is the fact that
she has been dealing with online. And I've said this once,
I said it before, and I'll keep it cute and simple.
All reality stars are brave to come on these shows
(24:17):
to expose their real life, expose who they are. We
may love it, we may hate it. Have your opinion,
but to wish death threasts upon people, to attack people
to the point where you are just doing it for
a reaction. It will never be okay, and it's going
(24:40):
to ruin the genre. It already is ruining the genre
because what you guys don't know is it's hard for
us to do our jobs, and it's hard for us
as producers, and it's hard for us working with kas
who want to give the real life but they're so
afraid to say anything because you guys will attack them.
(25:06):
I was happy to hear Tamara talk about how that
affected her. I have spoken to Tamar personally when she
was going through the bullying on social media, and look,
I also understand, guys that a lot of people felt
she was bullying Shannon, and I said on my own podcast,
I did not like what Tamara was saying to Shannon.
(25:29):
I told Tama that to her as well. But I'm
not going to go on my podcast and rip her
a new asshole to the point where I am inviscerating
her character and wishing a death threat. I just say,
I think Katie's a beautiful woman who belongs, you know,
doing other stuff. I just don't think Katie is a
(25:51):
reality star. But I'm going to leave it at that, right,
I'm not gonna say much more than that, even as
we get into the rest of them. So but my
point is there has to be a level of respect
when it comes to our stars being brave enough to
(26:13):
show us the real life. And the more you guys
do it, the less shows will have. And then what
we're gonna watch all day long? C Span. Okay, thank you,
Now get back to the show. We gotta get to
(26:38):
Jen and Ryan. Now, y'all know I have a little
crush on Ryan. Ryan is still hot. I listen, I'm
gonna say this, Jen, I love you, baby, and this
is no disrespect. I think Ryan is the hottest guy
on Bravo. Am I alone in this there is something
(27:01):
so rugged and just masculine and beefy. I think Ryan
is like the hottest big am I alone in this.
A few of my gaze agree with me, But let
me know in the comments do we think Ryan's hot?
I think he's so hot. I actually do the abs.
(27:31):
Like even when he was walking in the room and
Jit is like, oh my god, you're so sexy, I'm like, Jin,
you have never lied, bitch, he is so honey. Okay,
now this is the gag of the gay gat gag
got gag gags in the episode Okay, my mouth was
(27:53):
on the floor when Jen said this. When Jen alad
that Tamra liked Ryan and will take her shirt off
in the gym and say, you know, oh my gods,
what do I have to do for this guy to
(28:14):
look at me? That's what Jen alleged. But then Jen
went further. She said that one time Tamar was at
his house and said, I'm at the hot gym guy's house.
Should I go upstairs and take one for the team? Baby?
(28:34):
My mom's dropped. I'm like, excuse me, Like what are
we doing? What are we doing? Those are very strong allegations.
(29:00):
Do y'all believe that? I don't know if I believe it,
But I gagged, bitch, I gagged. I gagged. I gagged.
One of the things is it's it is one of
those things where it's such a specific, detailed story that
(29:24):
you're like, Okay, will Jim make up something so you
know specific right? Or is Jin adding some hot sauce
to the story to make it more juicy and gag worthy?
For Reality with the King and the rain drops, right,
(29:46):
these are things that gag me and baby I was gagged.
I was gagged, let me know. I mean, I can't
wait for Tamra to respond to that, if she hasn't already.
But baby I I gagged. That was the gag, honey
(30:15):
of the motherfucking episode to me, bitch, I mean, hm
m M. I don't know. I don't know what to say.
That was a gag. But listen is one of those
things where we will get down to the bottom of it. Okay, okay, Now,
(30:42):
what was also very interesting in that scene is the
fact that, you know, Tamra last season did say something
along the lines of what you know Ryan allegedly was
doing when it came to the FBI, the fans and
all that shit, and Ryan threatened to sue her, and
(31:04):
Tamar's like, look, I ain't trying to be soothed. She
apologized for it, So look, tam my dumb apologize for
that shit. That's baby I Uh, I'm still gagged. Okay,
(31:29):
So moving on, Emily and Gina meet with Katie and
pretty much confront Katie on the whole ex nanny story.
This is another example of just how Katie god I
can't spend too much time on Katie girl. I just
(31:52):
I felt like Katie was caught in another lie and
then she's like, well, I apologized I didn't know, and
it's like, Katie, you this is how I feel. Katie
knew what she was doing. Katie knew in order for
her to get back at sorry, my phone was ringing
a child. Katie knew in order for her to get
(32:14):
back at Emily, she had to orchestrate it. That's what
I felt, allegedly, And when Katie told Emily like, look,
it's my first reunion, I'm new to this, and it's like,
while I understand you're new to this drama reality television,
that's not how you go about it. And if that
(32:35):
is how you go about it, why do that? And
on top of that, are you now admitting to setting
her up? I felt like that seeing Katie pretty much
fessed up to the fact that your intention was to
expose Emily? Am I the only one who thought that way?
(32:57):
And that's why I fuxed with Emily, Who's like, no, bit,
you're not gonna hug me. I'm cool on you. This
is what it is, Katie. In my opinion one hundred
percent allegedly has relationships with bloggers, with podcast hosts, content creators,
(33:19):
the mayor paparazzi. Katie is incredible, and the reason why
Katie is not credible is because she is on an island. Katie,
this is why it's very difficult casting new women, men, gays,
or days in the year of twenty twenty seventeen and beyond,
(33:46):
because they do befriend people for their own benefit and
is not to really is not to really have an
allion with anybody of them show, is to have an
alliance with people who may have the power to spread
(34:08):
misinformation on their enemy. And that, to me is what
Katie was doing. And that's why with Shanna had the
event that Oprah Winfrey went to child, they kept saying
that every ten minutes, it was evident that with Gina's like,
take your phone out show us, Oh I don't have service,
(34:30):
let me tell you something about housewives and reality stars
one oh one. You screenshot everything that you have to
prove you may not have you may not have had
service that day. But Katie, come on, if you had
physical evidence that you did not reach out to these people,
you would have screenshot of that shit and brought it
(34:50):
to the scene the same way Kyle Richards screenshot it
her response to p K and made sure in the
scene she showed the girls let's have a real conversation.
The same way Danielle Stop gave Carlos King the book
and said, hold this shit until I sit down, and
I'm gonna cue you when to hide under the table,
(35:11):
tap my kneecap so that I can reach from your
forearm the book and place it on the table. So
miss me with this, I don't have service. No, you
don't have a credible lie, Katie. You don't have a
cab not a caterable. Not credible, honey, caterable. You don't
(35:38):
have a k table, Katie. Lie, that makes sense as
to why you are in the hot seat and you're
clearly lying. You don't have a capable I'm gonna run
with this shit. You don't have a caterable reason. You
don't have a capable story, you don't have kterable evidence, Katie.
(36:03):
Get Katie off my screen. I'm over it. I can't listen.
If Katie was a type of chick who would own it.
I would stand for Katie. I'll be like, let me
think some about Katie Baby, Katie don't play games, and
I'm here for it. I'm here for it. But Katie
(36:24):
is playing a dangerous game to me. And there are
rumors that allegedly, allegedly, allegedly, she gets voted off the
Island of OC. That's what the rumor is. Child. I
don't know, but that's what that's what Katie's friends, the blockers,
(36:52):
Katie girl, your friends on the blogs, honey, are saying
you got vote off the voter off the island, child.
And that's why I had to break on MS Gretchen, Honey,
because Katie wasn't delivering anything but bad Wi fi. So
OC is back. I'm a very happy camper. I'm going
to recap this season every week, so make sure rain
(37:16):
drops A'll tune in to more episodes. Reality with the

Real Housewives of Orange County is back for the past
two seasons, I personally felt like our HOC was the
(00:49):
best show out of all the franchise. They literally have
the best two seasons consecutively, which is unheard of in
this new age of watching television. Let's be clear, Honey,
Atlanta will always be that girl. Okay, However, I will
always give oc as props for having the top show.
(01:13):
They tied a little bit last year with Oh No,
with Salt Lake City. With Salt Lake City, shout out
to those ladies. But but blah blah blah blah, bah
blah blah blah blah blah blah. The past two seasons,
Tamera Heather, Emily, Gina, Jennifer, Shannon, and Liar Liar Katie
(01:38):
on fire. But look I digress. So let's let's just
get right into it. Okay, so check this out. We
need to get into the season premiere. I thought the
premiere was solid. I'm looking forward to what the rest
(02:00):
of his season is going to bring. But one thing
I know it is not going to bring, Honey, is
Alexis back. I am sad to see Alexis not there,
especially since Shannon opened up the episode updating us that
she decided to settle with John and she paid him
(02:22):
sixty thousand dollars out of the money that he loaned her,
and Shannon made a joke that now the money can
be used to pay for John an Alexis wedding. So look,
that has been settled. I will say that I'm gonna
(02:46):
miss Alexis on the show because I look, before y'all
throw tomatoes at my head. Hear me out. I love
it when you have a reality star who is able
to sort of come into a situation and activate the
girls right like how Marlow Hampton will forever go down
(03:11):
in history as the best friend of in the history
of the real Housewives. No friend up will ever top
marlow Patrice Hampton. Marlow is top tier. She claim in
fucks some shuit up and went home. She went home
(03:31):
with a white man that she met the fourth seasons
the sofa ta I'm teasing, I'm teasing, that's that's a joke.
But listen, marlow will come on to the set, child,
gather the girls, activate them, and they go ahead and
live her soft life. That's why I love you, So Marlowe.
Marlowe does not want to work a full time job.
(03:55):
She has no desire. That's why she was excellent at
being a friend of So when you look at Alexis,
I will say I felt that Alexis brought out the
best of Shannon. My opinion. I know it's not a
popular one, but hey, this podcast is so you're liking
for a reason because my opinions are what real. So, Alexis,
(04:19):
you will be missed. But baby, that's sixty thousand dollars
I'm pretty sure will just be the down payment for
the million dollar wedding she and John are going to
have that's going to revival Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez
in Italy. So I'm rooting for the Jensens. Okay, so
(04:43):
Shannla's great. She updated us of what was going on
in her life. Okay, so we appreciated that. But let's
get into the meat potatoes of this episode. The one
thing I felt that was missing in the premiere was
on fire and desire. Okay, it needed a little bit
(05:07):
of a kick, a little punch. It was nice to
see Tamar and Therapy would get to that in a second.
But I felt that, ay, y'all tell me if y'all
did not feel this way. I felt that all the
girls were kind of playing it safe. I thought that
MVP of this episode was actually Emily. I really did
(05:30):
enjoy Emily a lot in this episode. I thought she
was activated. I appreciated Emily giving us honesty when it
came to exactly what her son is going through, which
to me, my heart goes out to Emily dealing with
a son who isn't eating and the doctor first diagnosed
(05:56):
him as having a possible eating disorder, only to find
out that he could be autistic, which would make sense.
I have a nephew who is autistic, and unfortunately, at
his age, he isn't able to eat a lot of
solid foods is just something that his parents are just
(06:20):
trying to get him to graduate from versus the sippy
cup in the bottle. So I'm happy that Emily and
her husband were able to really look at this situation
and really get down to the nitty gritty of it.
But it was a powerful, powerful moment out of Emily,
(06:43):
who really did share a lot in this episode. So listen,
raising a child who is autistic, and in this case,
we're going to watch the rest of the season to
see if he has been fully diagnosed as that. As
of now, it's a possibility. But any parent that has
(07:06):
a child who is autistic knows what a what a
tough job it could be, and how it takes a
lot of TLC to do a lot of work to
get them to a place of eating and just whatever
degrees of autism that they have. So Emily, if you're listening,
(07:31):
my sweet baby, my heart goes out to you. I'm
pretty sure it's tough. I can only imagine, but I
will say this, you are a great mother. You are
a great mother. And one thing I told my brother
is God made sure that if any of us had
(07:59):
a child who was all God knew who the right
parents in my opinion, who was the best parent to
handle it? And I think my brother, who's a sweetheart,
is the perfect champ to handle something that is tough.
And Emily, if that happens to be his diagnosis, know
(08:20):
that God has put you in the best position to
be the best caregiver, caretaker, mother, friend, supporter for this boy.
So my heart goes out to you. It was my
favorite part of the episode, honestly to see Emily in
that state, because as you all know, I love personal story.
(08:41):
I love personal story, and I also love it when
someone is clocked lying. Katie, you are a danger girl.
Demi Moore would be Goldberg. Where are you? Katie? I
can't defend you and Katie to me, I said this
last season. I never felt that Katie was a star.
(09:08):
I didn't love her, but I did not dislike her.
Does that make any sense? I didn't. You know, It's
sort of like when you're dating and you know, how
like you're dating somebody and the guy let me speak
to the girls and the gaze and the days, so listen,
you know how like you meet a guy and you
(09:31):
know he's cute, but when he opens his mouth, it's
sort of like that calming app where the conversation puts
you to sleep, Katie puts me to sleep. I don't
see and Katie, if you're listening, I'm not throwing Shaye.
(09:55):
I'm being honest. I think you are a beautiful woman.
Katie's gorgeous actually, in the words of Aretha Franklin, beautiful gowns.
In the words of Phaedra and Candy. When they went
to the beginning of Chata Charade season four, nothing was
(10:17):
there Katie. If Katie is the villain, I don't know
how this season gonna be. Katie is the worst villain
because Katie doesn't own up to anything, and she's not
She's not strong enough to like combat the girls like okay, okay,
(10:49):
road with me, guys. Katie will go down in history
as the worst villain that this franchise has ever seen.
And when I say franchise, Honey, I mean all cities.
Because Katie doesn't have the teeth, she doesn't have the punch,
she doesn't have the gravataz. She's no Audriana on Miami Housewife.
(11:15):
She's no ken Yamore, she's no Tamar Judge. And because
Tamar is dealing with something in therapy, which again we'll
get to that a second. We only have Katie and
now I'm like, well, shit, I see why they brought
Gretchen back, not saying that gretch would be the villain.
I don't know what's going on on this on this
(11:35):
season of OC, but I can tell you off right now.
I am not interested in Katie being the villain only
because she does not defend herself. Villains are interesting when
they're like, fuck you bitch. This is how I feel.
I said what I said. Now what else is going on?
Go twirl over there? Okay, you want to sprinkle cookies?
(11:55):
Like you know, like, what are we doing here? I
brought the laws to Rhode Island, break Marge to OC. Indeed,
I don't know. It's a little quiet. It's a little quiet.
But anyways, let me update y'all. Okay, so this is
(12:19):
the story. Remember last season when it was this whole
conversation about whether or not Emily was talking shit about
Heather around her children, and then Katie's daughter, who I
(12:42):
guess was a baby sitter or something child, she alleged
that Emily's kids told her that their mother talks shit
about Heather. Okay, so all that happened, Emily denied it.
(13:03):
Heather forgave her. Katie said, my daughter said she heard him,
and my daughter's not a liar. Okay, fine, boo boo bon.
So apparently the ex nanny of Emily's contacted Katie okay
(13:24):
to pretty much say to her, I can vouch that
Emily does talk shit about Heather around her kids, that
this is true. Katie is alleging that she told the
(13:45):
ex nanny to contact the podcast host from All About
the Real Housewives podcast to tell her side of the
story to them, right, not necessarily tell us how the story,
but like, girl, listen to this podcast because that's what
(14:07):
that's the podcast in which my daughter did an interview. Okay,
Katie's alleging she did not tell the ex nanny to
tell her story in the podcast, but she encouraged the
ex nanny to listen to her daughter's interview and then
two to three four business day's letter later, allegedly the
(14:30):
ex nanny is on that same podcast. So, as you
all know, the ladies over at All About the Her
Housewives have been on Reality with the King, Hey Michiganders,
and they have tweeted about this particular storyline and how
they are being used in this in this show. So
(14:52):
this is what they have to say, and I want
to read it directly from their tweets. Okay, are you
all ready for this? All about the Real Housewives said,
We did not seek out the babysitter. She came to us.
We've had a respectful relationship with Katie, as we do
(15:13):
with many housewives. We shared a small part of what
we were shown because Katie's daughter was being unfairly called
a liar by Emily. They go on to say in
the brief conversation, they have the babysitter. She showed us
(15:36):
what Emily said when she found out the babysitter spoke
to us, but we never shared the publicly. She also
show us pictures on photos for contexts, which we chose
not to post. She mentioned that her kids are aware
of a lot and that Emily often speaks freely around them,
(15:56):
which isn't a big deal. They also tweeted Emily mentioned
concerns about people judging her parenting, but realistically, kids overhearing
things all the time. That alone does not define someone's
parenting skills. So that's what they have to say about that.
(16:18):
Particular conversation that they had with the ex nanny. Now,
I'm gonna say this. One of the things we know
is reality shows are popular, and as the creator and
executive producer of them, I Carlos kingk love the bloggers
who take time out of their day to even recap
(16:39):
any show that I created because it helps the show
grow in ratings and audience. Okay, the bloggers, the content creators,
podcast hosts, I appreciate them all. There is, however, a
slippery slope when you, as a current reality star on
(17:00):
a current reality show, start feeding things to the aforementioned people. Okay,
it's great to have a friendship, it's great to have
a relationship, but when you start to use them to
feed information to them for them to release publicly, that's
(17:21):
when things can get a little bit dangerous. I'm not
saying that's what Katie did in this particular situation, but
what I will say is everything's about intention, and Katie,
you are not dumb. Katie, to me, is incapable of
(17:42):
telling the truth. That whole situation with the car story,
remember that last season about her getting stoped by the car,
I mean, by the no somebody tried to like cuss
her out while they were driving, and she called the cops,
and the cops got involved and then went to the
person's how whatever. I think Katie's is a liar allegedly.
(18:06):
I just I don't buy anything that Katie is selling.
And every time she's confronted with something, she looks like
she's trying to come up with another lie on top
of the lie. And that's why it's hard for me
to like get her. I don't get Katie. Katie just
(18:31):
Katie doesn't have the I or the T or the
T or the eye or the UT. I I don't
Katie doesn't have nothing. Child. I don't know. Katie doesn't
have it. I don't understand it. I don't get it.
I don't get it. I don't get it. I don't
get it. Katie ain't it baby, she ain't it wrong?
Road recast return to send her bring back my girls.
(18:57):
I mean, what are we doing here? I don't I'll
understand Katie's participation on the show. This is reality with
the King, and I'm Carlos King. Let's get back into
the show. Okay, enough of my rant. So that happened
(19:18):
and we'll get to what happened at Shannon's event later
in the episode. But before we get to that, let's
do a round of applause. Q the clapping sound effects.
(19:39):
This season marks Tamor Judge as the longest running housewife
of all time. What this means is Tamra has had
more seasons on their show than any other high she
(20:02):
has become the number one longest running housewife. Now what's
interesting is Shannon not Shannon Lord Jesus. Tamra started season two,
so as a season one I believe that title may
(20:24):
be a tie between Teresa and Kyle. I think Kyle,
after she finishes this season, will beat Teresa since Jersey's
on Paul. But nonetheless, Tamar Judge has made history as
the longest running housewife, So please give her a round
(20:46):
of applause. She is a formidable, fucking fantastic talent. And
I applaud Tamra judge participation on the show because, in
my opinion, there is no ver a housewatch of O
See without Tamra Judge. I said it and I stand
on it. Thank you. Tamar is in therapy. I'm dealing
(21:14):
with some of her past behavior. Now I'm gonna be
very honest with you when I saw that they were
showing Tamar in therapy. I'm like, oh gosh, please tell
me this isn't the you know, quintessential scene where it's
the amazing force multiplying villainous housewife who is going to
(21:38):
therapy to make herself likable for the audience. I'm like, oh,
my gosh, please tell me this isn't what is going
to be. I was happy to finish this scene to
be like, oh, this actually is not that. This actually
is Tamor trying to figure things out because of what
(21:58):
she is going through with her daughter and what she
is going through with her best friend Teddy Mellencamp, who
we all know have tumors in her brain and was
dealing with that while they were filming. My heart goes
out to Tamra. As you all know, my heart will
always go out to Teddy Walters, who is getting better
(22:19):
by the day. So keep your thoughts in prayers to Teddy.
But it was nice to see the softest side of Tamra,
I will say that. And to me, it wasn't like
I thought it was going to be, like a overly
produced scene to really make our villain look victorious. Once
you strip away all of that and you really lean
(22:42):
into what Tamra is going through currently. The reason why
it was a powerful scene is because she was able
to identify past behaviors, past trauma and how they showed
up today, but more importantly, how she is dealing with
something currently as it relates to your best friend who
(23:06):
also is your co host of the podcast, to tease
in a pod that is dealing with something so devastating.
So I've really enjoyed seeing Tamar in that position because
my hope is that she's able to really do the work.
And I also appreciated the fact that they were also
(23:29):
opening up about how Tamra did on her podcast, telling
us she was on the spectrum and how she needed
to have more information before she delivered that to the
millions of listeners that she has. So what's nice to
(23:51):
know that that was included. And one thing she mentioned
that I do want to address is the fact that
she has been dealing with online. And I've said this once,
I said it before, and I'll keep it cute and simple.
All reality stars are brave to come on these shows
(24:17):
to expose their real life, expose who they are. We
may love it, we may hate it. Have your opinion,
but to wish death threasts upon people, to attack people
to the point where you are just doing it for
a reaction. It will never be okay, and it's going
(24:40):
to ruin the genre. It already is ruining the genre
because what you guys don't know is it's hard for
us to do our jobs, and it's hard for us
as producers, and it's hard for us working with kas
who want to give the real life but they're so
afraid to say anything because you guys will attack them.
(25:06):
I was happy to hear Tamara talk about how that
affected her. I have spoken to Tamar personally when she
was going through the bullying on social media, and look,
I also understand, guys that a lot of people felt
she was bullying Shannon, and I said on my own podcast,
I did not like what Tamara was saying to Shannon.
(25:29):
I told Tama that to her as well. But I'm
not going to go on my podcast and rip her
a new asshole to the point where I am inviscerating
her character and wishing a death threat. I just say,
I think Katie's a beautiful woman who belongs, you know,
doing other stuff. I just don't think Katie is a
(25:51):
reality star. But I'm going to leave it at that, right,
I'm not gonna say much more than that, even as
we get into the rest of them. So but my
point is there has to be a level of respect
when it comes to our stars being brave enough to
(26:13):
show us the real life. And the more you guys
do it, the less shows will have. And then what
we're gonna watch all day long? C Span. Okay, thank you,
Now get back to the show. We gotta get to
(26:38):
Jen and Ryan. Now, y'all know I have a little
crush on Ryan. Ryan is still hot. I listen, I'm
gonna say this, Jen, I love you, baby, and this
is no disrespect. I think Ryan is the hottest guy
on Bravo. Am I alone in this there is something
(27:01):
so rugged and just masculine and beefy. I think Ryan
is like the hottest big am I alone in this.
A few of my gaze agree with me, But let
me know in the comments do we think Ryan's hot?
I think he's so hot. I actually do the abs.
(27:31):
Like even when he was walking in the room and
Jit is like, oh my god, you're so sexy, I'm like, Jin,
you have never lied, bitch, he is so honey. Okay,
now this is the gag of the gay gat gag
got gag gags in the episode Okay, my mouth was
(27:53):
on the floor when Jen said this. When Jen alad
that Tamra liked Ryan and will take her shirt off
in the gym and say, you know, oh my gods,
what do I have to do for this guy to
(28:14):
look at me? That's what Jen alleged. But then Jen
went further. She said that one time Tamar was at
his house and said, I'm at the hot gym guy's house.
Should I go upstairs and take one for the team? Baby?
(28:34):
My mom's dropped. I'm like, excuse me, Like what are
we doing? What are we doing? Those are very strong allegations.
(29:00):
Do y'all believe that? I don't know if I believe it,
But I gagged, bitch, I gagged. I gagged. I gagged.
One of the things is it's it is one of
those things where it's such a specific, detailed story that
(29:24):
you're like, Okay, will Jim make up something so you
know specific right? Or is Jin adding some hot sauce
to the story to make it more juicy and gag worthy?
For Reality with the King and the rain drops, right,
(29:46):
these are things that gag me and baby I was gagged.
I was gagged, let me know. I mean, I can't
wait for Tamra to respond to that, if she hasn't already.
But baby I I gagged. That was the gag, honey
(30:15):
of the motherfucking episode to me, bitch, I mean, hm
m M. I don't know. I don't know what to say.
That was a gag. But listen is one of those
things where we will get down to the bottom of it. Okay, okay, Now,
(30:42):
what was also very interesting in that scene is the
fact that, you know, Tamra last season did say something
along the lines of what you know Ryan allegedly was
doing when it came to the FBI, the fans and
all that shit, and Ryan threatened to sue her, and
(31:04):
Tamar's like, look, I ain't trying to be soothed. She
apologized for it, So look, tam my dumb apologize for
that shit. That's baby I Uh, I'm still gagged. Okay,
(31:29):
So moving on, Emily and Gina meet with Katie and
pretty much confront Katie on the whole ex nanny story.
This is another example of just how Katie god I
can't spend too much time on Katie girl. I just
(31:52):
I felt like Katie was caught in another lie and
then she's like, well, I apologized I didn't know, and
it's like, Katie, you this is how I feel. Katie
knew what she was doing. Katie knew in order for
her to get back at sorry, my phone was ringing
a child. Katie knew in order for her to get
(32:14):
back at Emily, she had to orchestrate it. That's what
I felt, allegedly, And when Katie told Emily like, look,
it's my first reunion, I'm new to this, and it's like,
while I understand you're new to this drama reality television,
that's not how you go about it. And if that
(32:35):
is how you go about it, why do that? And
on top of that, are you now admitting to setting
her up? I felt like that seeing Katie pretty much
fessed up to the fact that your intention was to
expose Emily? Am I the only one who thought that way?
(32:57):
And that's why I fuxed with Emily, Who's like, no, bit,
you're not gonna hug me. I'm cool on you. This
is what it is, Katie. In my opinion one hundred
percent allegedly has relationships with bloggers, with podcast hosts, content creators,
(33:19):
the mayor paparazzi. Katie is incredible, and the reason why
Katie is not credible is because she is on an island. Katie,
this is why it's very difficult casting new women, men, gays,
or days in the year of twenty twenty seventeen and beyond,
(33:46):
because they do befriend people for their own benefit and
is not to really is not to really have an
allion with anybody of them show, is to have an
alliance with people who may have the power to spread
(34:08):
misinformation on their enemy. And that, to me is what
Katie was doing. And that's why with Shanna had the
event that Oprah Winfrey went to child, they kept saying
that every ten minutes, it was evident that with Gina's like,
take your phone out show us, Oh I don't have service,
(34:30):
let me tell you something about housewives and reality stars
one oh one. You screenshot everything that you have to
prove you may not have you may not have had
service that day. But Katie, come on, if you had
physical evidence that you did not reach out to these people,
you would have screenshot of that shit and brought it
(34:50):
to the scene the same way Kyle Richards screenshot it
her response to p K and made sure in the
scene she showed the girls let's have a real conversation.
The same way Danielle Stop gave Carlos King the book
and said, hold this shit until I sit down, and
I'm gonna cue you when to hide under the table,
(35:11):
tap my kneecap so that I can reach from your
forearm the book and place it on the table. So
miss me with this, I don't have service. No, you
don't have a credible lie, Katie. You don't have a
cab not a caterable. Not credible, honey, caterable. You don't
(35:38):
have a k table, Katie. Lie, that makes sense as
to why you are in the hot seat and you're
clearly lying. You don't have a capable I'm gonna run
with this shit. You don't have a caterable reason. You
don't have a capable story, you don't have kterable evidence, Katie.
(36:03):
Get Katie off my screen. I'm over it. I can't listen.
If Katie was a type of chick who would own it.
I would stand for Katie. I'll be like, let me
think some about Katie Baby, Katie don't play games, and
I'm here for it. I'm here for it. But Katie
(36:24):
is playing a dangerous game to me. And there are
rumors that allegedly, allegedly, allegedly, she gets voted off the
Island of OC. That's what the rumor is. Child. I
don't know, but that's what that's what Katie's friends, the blockers,
(36:52):
Katie girl, your friends on the blogs, honey, are saying
you got vote off the voter off the island, child.
And that's why I had to break on MS Gretchen, Honey,
because Katie wasn't delivering anything but bad Wi fi. So
OC is back. I'm a very happy camper. I'm going
to recap this season every week, so make sure rain
(37:16):
drops A'll tune in to more episodes. Reality with the
King is executive produced by me Carlos King, produced by
