The role of a “villain” is a pretty good one if you can stomach the personal backlash. Reality television lends itself to numerous ways to develop a character, even if the character is yourself. Sometimes the edit takes care of how one is perceived by an audience of viewers. But we all know not to
Real Housewives of Orange County
The title of OG is a rarity these days on Bravo. An OG started from Season 1 and created an impact that essentially leveled up the show. Real Housewives of Atlanta lost NeNe Leakes. RHOA continued without her, but she was a formidable presence on the network for years. Real Housewives of Beverly Hills said
Is this another attempt at making Braunwyn Windham-Burke look like a victim? Again, for the record, I truly tried to show support for Braunwyn when she had visible signs of struggle on Real Housewives of Orange County. It was heartbreaking to watch her literally detox from alcohol on camera when she probably should have been
It looks like we have found where all the brains in the family went. Whenever we write an article on Braunwyn Windham-Burke, the general consensus is people are worried about her kids. While I would usually be on the “none of your business” train, the Real Housewives of Orange County alum has proven her choices
With Scandoval dominating headlines everywhere, it’s hard not to side-eye your partner for buying a lightning bolt necklace. Bravo fans have been shell-shocked since news dropped that Tom Sandoval cheated on his Vanderpump Rules costar and partner of 9 years, Ariana Madix. With another castmate, no less. But this is hardly the first time we
Jennifer Aydin is used to making enemies by now. The Real Housewives of New Jersey star is now on her 5th season of the franchise. And she has fought with pretty much all of her castmates. Her longstanding feud with Margaret Josephs continues this season. But a new fallout with close friend Dolores Catania is
Nothing to lose. After the tragic death of Grayson Arroyo-Smiley, his mother, Michelle Arroyo, took to social media to share the truth about her son’s relationship with Real Housewives of Orange County alum Slade Smiley. Michelle unburdened herself after Slade and her fiancée, Gretchen Rossi, mourned very publicly after Grayson’s tragic death. In a statement
Tamra Judge’s rightful return to Real Housewives of Orange County has me pumped for the upcoming Season 17. She’s back to holding an orange and stirring the pot. AKA the two things she does best. She’s totally reunited with Shannon Beador and Vicki Gunvalson, and the Tres Amigas will even be back to whooping it
When it comes to toxic exes, Meghan King and Jim Edmonds take the cake. The former Real Housewives of Orange County star has been publicly fighting her ex-husband since their 2020 divorce. And despite the adage that time heals all wounds, things seem to be worsening for the former couple. Meghan recently spoke with Page
Braunwyn Windham-Burke is the gift that keeps on giving. If you like gifts wrapped in fancy packaging with the only contents being poor judgement and bad decisions. The former Real Housewives of Orange County star simply cannot live a peaceful life out of the spotlight. No matter how much we wish she would. It seems
Seems rather niche, right? You might think most disagreements between Real Housewives go down surrounded by a table full of food. This comes in handy when you feel like launching the contents of a charcuterie board at someone’s face. But some of our best moments have come when the “ladies” are in transit. Sometimes they
I’m aware no one really wants to discuss Braunwyn Windham-Burke. But because she is a full mess 24/7, I’ll do this so you don’t have to. Yes, the former Real Housewives of Orange County star is making headlines once again. Full disclosure, I was rooting for Braunwyn in the beginning. Viewers watched her life completely
It is with heavy remorse this article has to be written. There aren’t a lot of people who have hero status these days. But Michelle Arroyo and her son Grayson Arroyo-Smiley absolutely deserve the honor. Old school Real Housewives of Orange County viewers might remember Grayson toddling around Slade Smiley’s house with his older brother
Bravo was once not saturated by all things Real Housewives. On any given day there was a wide variety of programming that didn’t stem from acting a fool at the dinner table. We currently have 836 shows spawned from the successful franchise. Before everyone had a line of alcohol with their name on it, we had
The advances in fertility treatments have opened a whole forum of moral and emotional implications. Such as, what should happen to unused embryos? And who makes the decision if the parents split up? What about the feelings of parents who will not have more children? It’s a difficult situation. Most of the publicity with this
Below Deck alum Kate Chastain and former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Brandi Glanville met on the set of Peacock’s The Traitors. And a new Bravo friendship was born! This dynamic duo was about to work on a new project together. Page Six shared the details. “I would be lying if I said some [NBCUniversal] executives
This week on social media, the Real Housewives gave us a little bit of everything. There are your usual attempted thirst traps and staged photos from the ladies. But it also seems as though everyone is taking a vacation. Having just come back from one, I understand the need to get away. And if you
Sometimes reality television doesn’t seem very real. A popular show will start out brand new and refreshing, then slowly turn into an over-produced, “loosely-scripted” soap opera. Then you find yourself losing the plot and wondering where all of the flying cheese is coming from. During the course of the Real Housewives shows, cameras have
Real Housewives of Orange County fans better prepare themselves for Hurricane Shannon Beador because Miss Storms is going through another breakup. Luckily, her current drama (shockingly) has nothing to do with David Beador’s never-ending inexplicable nonsense. However, Shannon’s been betrayed by another man — John Janssen, her boyfriend of nearly four years. If the name
New year, same Braunwyn Windham-Burke. After ringing in the New Year with an entirely new set of gimmicks, B is booked and busy trying to ward off rumors she herself started. The content is tepid, but I promise you’ll get a laugh out of her latest reach. Here’s the recap: Braunwyn spent New Year’s Eve with her most
The reactions to Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Lisa Rinna’s exit have been swift. Season 12 of RHOBH was not its finest hour. It was intense and, at times, troubling. Lisa squared off with Sutton Stracke and went to war with Kathy Hilton over the Aspen of it all. Viewers were tired of Lisa’s
Reality television is here to stay – from Real Housewives to any show involving a restaurant or boat. Viewers turn into voyeurs as we watch people who a network deems interesting enough to follow around with a camera crew, and enjoy their various escapades. The genre highlights both individuals and relationships and more often than
Shannon Beador is going through another breakup breakdown. The Real Housewives of Orange County star recently announced that after almost four years together, John Janssen ended their relationship. Shannon was shocked as a week prior, the two were filming for Season 17 and everything was fine. In fact, according to Page Six, Shannon thought that wedding bells
Kelly Dodd is not the most popular former cast member of Real Housewives of Orange County, but I assure you she’s not suffering over it. She and husband Rick Leventhal did not exactly leave a legacy of positivity behind them when Kelly was shown the way out of the Bravo door. And we may never catch
Shannon Beador better give Dr. Moon a call and start arranging nine lemons in a bowl ASAP. The Real Housewives of Orange County star was rocked recently with news of her breakup from John Janssen. John was Shannon’s first relationship since her messy divorce from David Beador. Shannon was even hearing wedding bells in her
Friends, gather ‘round and let’s hold hands because the Bravo gods have shined upon us and granted several miracles on this sacred New Year of 2023. The network we love isn’t necessarily known for listening to fans but the battle cry of “GOODBYE [LISA] RINNA!” didn’t fall on deaf ears this time. We’ve also said
Have you heard about the new Karen-for-hire business? They offer Twitter rebellion, complaint letters, and “super villainy.” I have a theory they based their business plan off Tamra Judge and Meghan King’s slick takedown of Vicki Gunvalson over the course of three Real Housewives of Orange County seasons. Whatever you want to say about Meg now that she’s off the show, I still
Most of the Bravolebrities featured on our shows develop quite a high opinion of themselves due to overnight fame and a couple of new checks in their bank account. While they may not be revered thespians or artists trained at Julliard, they do reach a certain status thanks to appearing on reality television. It’s no
If it isn’t alcohol, it’s definitely going to be clothes because we all know toaster ovens won’t make the cut. It seems Real Housewives aren’t content with making bags of money while maintaining the mental intelligence of mean girls in high school. Nope, they want… A BRAND. So many things can fall under the “brand”
In television, “jumping the shark” is defined as, a show or movie that reaches a stage when unbelievable occurrences are added for novelty’s sake, displaying a sign of a drop in quality. Sound familiar to anyone? Yep, there have been several times a story line from Real Housewives have not only jumped the shark–it caught
