On this week's after show, Danny has some explaining to do and it sounds like this is not his first time "getting handsy" while drinking. Jesse and Michelle continue to tell us their sides to the story when it comes to their divorce and it's not looking great (on Jesse's part especially). We learn more about the boys group chat, which even Stassi put a ban on in her home! All this and much more! Thanks to our sponsors - My Life ...

On this week's episode, RHONY is making a comeback - in terms of petty drama that is! Brynn Whitfield throws some major shade at her costars, claiming they don't really work and that she's the only one with a "real" job. Is the real job in the room with us, Brynn? Meanwhile, Gizelle Bryant and Porsha Williams makes an appearance (together) on WWHL and reveal some tea about their costars. Plus, Jax Taylor is facing consequences for ...

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 (...

On the finale of the RHOBH reunion, we finally see Garcelle walk out. It turns out she stays for the whole reunion, but decides to jump ship right before the cast photo. Was it justified? Should she have stayed for the photo? And what really led to her being "done"? We also have a lot more gaslighting, hypocrisy and fakery in this episode. Kyle continues to try to prove she's not a mean girl (while calling women snakes), Erika cont...

On this week's episode, I cover the last two Summer House After Show episodes and there's lots of tea!! In Episode 7, West continues to put his foot in his mouth, while Lindsay discusses her life-changes and why she kept her apartment. I'm also pleasantly surprised by Carl's ability to take feedback on Soft Bar, even if it is coming from Lindsay (and why I think these two will definitely be friends again one day). Episode 8 meanwhi...

On this special episode, I break down the shocking news of Garcelle Beauvais quitting RHOBH. I discuss clues from the Reunion trailer, Erika and Boz's appearance on WWHL after the finale and what the internet sources are saying about the real reason Garcelle walked off the reunion.

Meanwhile, we're only 3 episodes into RHOA, and it seems Shamea and Porsha's friendship is already on the rocks (or maybe over?). Also, Teddi Mellencamp is making a list and checking it twice -- of whose reached out to her since her cancer diagnosis and who hasn't. Al...
