This week was an especially toxic episode of The Valley and fan backlash to Jax's appearance on Watch What Happens Live has been swift and angry. His excuses and explanations on this After Show episode aren't helping his image. Jax discusses receiving the divorce papers, Brittany tells us about Jax's actions (or lack thereof) after leaving rehab and Jesse discusses why he allowed Jax to attend Zack's party. All this and much more...

Sorry this is so late!! On episodes 8 and 9 of The Valley After Show, Jax continues to prove why he is truly the worst person on Bravo (and possibly all of television).

On this week's episode, RHONY is making a comeback - in terms of petty drama that is!

The Valley After Show is almost more dramatic than the actual show. On the first two episodes, we get more insight into Jax's manipulations and they go way further than what we've even seen on the show so far. Brittany (and basically the entire cast) fill us in on how far Jax has gone with his lies, manipulation and gaslighting. And spoiler alert -- he has no one on his side. We also get more insight into why Kristen just can't for...

On this week's reunion episode, Dorit completely dominates the conversation, leaving little room for the left side of the couch (except Kyle) to even respond -- does anyone else get to talk? Kyle continues to try to say she's a "girls-girl", even though her actions say otherwise. Erika proves herself to be useless once again, and even with conflict served up on a platter from her shady comments on WWHL, she backs down. Andy Cohen (...
