“Vanderpump Rules” star Scheana Shay spoke about the show’s season 10 reunion special, which was filmed on March 23, on the June 23 episode of her podcast, “Scheananigans with Scheana Shay.” The reality television star shared that she was frustrated that the main focus of the reunion was Raquel Leviss and Tom Sandoval’s affair. As fans are aware, the co-stars were romantically involved for months while Sandoval was still in a relationship with Ariana Madix. Shay noted that her August 2022 wedding was barely mentioned during the reunion.

“For me, the most frustrating thing was that [the affair] was pretty much all that was covered. I got married, yes I know, again, but things that happened in this season were just brushed over. It was just a blip,” said Shay.

She also suggested she would have liked her husband, Brock Davies, to have appeared on stage for the reunion.

“Brock didn’t get to be out on stage … But it is better when there are less people, when there are too many people, it is frustrating, everyone is talking over everyone but that was the only thing, but it’s also like I feel like the viewers didn’t care about anything else this season,” stated the “Good as Gold” singer with a laugh.

Scheana Shay Shared She Would Film With Raquel Leviss

While recording the “Scheananigans with Scheana Shay” episode, Shay spoke about the backlash Sandoval and Leviss received following the revelation they had an affair in March 2023. She suggested that she believed her castmates should not be surprised that fans have had negative reactions to them.

“You did this and now you are paying for it. What did you think? Did you think people were going to embrace ya’ll as a couple and just be like, ‘Yeah f*** Ariana. You know, yeah, Tom and Raquel, team them,’” said Shay.

The 38-year-old also stated she would be willing to film with Leviss for the show’s upcoming eleventh season. She explained she had a conversation with her co-star Lala Kent where they agreed they would speak to the 28-year-old while filming the show.

“We were like look, if we got to have these conversations with people, we’ve got to have conversations with people. You’ve got to give the people what they want, they want to see these conversations so they are going to happen, respectfully with giving Ariana a heads up,” said Shay.

Kent also stated that she would not refrain from filming with Leviss while speaking to TMZ on June 9. She explained that she would film with the former pageant contestant “if it made sense.” She noted that she and Leviss “were never really friends.”

“If she were to come into the mix, again, I would most certainly not be – I wouldn’t ice her out. I mean I’m sure I wouldn’t be so friendly, but you have to remember that even before this, I didn’t really dig her. So I’m sure it would be like ‘hey how are you doing?’” said Kent.

Lala Kent Suggested She Does Not Think Raquel Leviss Should Be on Reality Television

While speaking to TMZ, Kent noted that Leviss had an emotional response during her confessional interview, filmed days after the season 10 reunion. She stated that she was concerned about Leviss’ mental health. The mother of one suggested she believed Leviss, who is staying at a mental health facility, should not continue starring on the Bravo series.

“For me, it’s a reality TV show, I feel like we are kind of all playing the same game, when I watched that I was like oh we’re dealing with someone who maybe shouldn’t be on this type of platform,” said Kent.

The 32-year-old made clarifying comments about her feelings regarding Leviss following the season 10 reunion in the June 13 episode of her podcast, “Give Them Lala.” She stated she did not regret what she said to Leviss during the season 10 reunion. She suggested she believed her castmate may not be “mentally equipped to handle whatever is going to come out of [her] mouth and everyone else’s mouth.”

“The reason that I love doing what I do is because I get to be unfiltered on top of it being entertaining for other people, the second that you throw someone in there that cannot handle it, you are making it so I can’t do my job,” said Kent.

Andy Cohen is sharing his feelings on CNN’s decision to ban him and Anderson Cooper from drinking alcohol on the air on New Year’s Eve.

The “Real Housewives” executive producer sat down with Howard Stern for a chat on June 14, 2023, and the two discussed the dry celebration in Times Square that happened six months ago.

“What a bungle,” Cohen said about the situation when asked about it by Stern on his SiriusXM radio show. “People want to see me make Anderson giggle, and they love to see him do shots. We did everything we could to get around it, but it was just a stupid move,” he said, referring to the network’s decision.

Here’s what you need to know:

Andy Cohen Is Hoping CNN Will Reconsider its Stance for New Year’s Eve 2024

Chris Licht served as the CEO of the network when New Year’s Eve 2023 rolled around and it was his decision to tell Cohen and Cooper that they couldn’t drink while on the air.

Six months later, it was confirmed that Licht was fired from the network just a year after being hired as CEO.

“This job was never going to be easy, especially at a time of great disruption and transformation, and Chris poured his heart and soul into it. He has a deep love for journalism and this business and that has been evident throughout his tenure. Unfortunately, things did not work out the way we had hoped — and ultimately that’s on me,” read a message that was sent to the staff by Warner Bros. Discovery chief David Zaslav, according to NPR.

When Stern asked Cohen if he thought that Licht was the wrong person for the job, Cohen responded, “I don’t know the answer to that — I guess, because it didn’t work out.”

“I didn’t really care,” he admitted. “I just wanted to drink on New Year’s Eve, and I just want Anderson to be happy. It was my hope that had he remained that maybe we could’ve said to him, ‘Listen, this clearly did not work out last year, so let’s revisit this issue,'” he added.

Ratings for CNN’s New Year’s Eve Coverage Actually Increased in 2023

Best pals Cohen and Cooper have been teaming up for New Year’s Eve the past few years, and their 2022 broadcast was a total hit. However, the two had been drinking while on air and fans really liked seeing the two let loose a bit — especially Cooper, who is usually quite serious.

Regardless of the no drinking rule, many people still tuned in to watch Cohen and Cooper ring in the new year together.

“CNN’s New Year’s Eve Live with Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen averaged 2.1M viewers across its full coverage block from 8 p.m.-12:30 a.m. That beat Fox News Channel and MSNBC by quite a large margin. FNC had 1.2M viewers and MSNBC had only 194,000,” Deadline reported on January 4, 2023.

“In the cable news demographic of 25-54, CNN also outperformed its competition, posting 806,000 average demo viewers — an 8% increase from the year prior,” the outlet’s coverage continued.

A “Vanderpump Rules”  OG is ready for his own reality show. In a June 2023 social media post, veteran cast member Peter Madrigal pitched the idea of his own show to fans.

The SUR manager has been featured on the Bravo reality show ever since its debut in 2013, per IMDb, but he is often in the background of the drama due to his position at Lisa Vanderpump’s West Hollywood restaurant. In season 11, Madrigal shot extra scenes after going on a  date with cast member Raquel Leviss.

Peter Madrigal Asked Fans What They Think of His Idea for a Reality Show

On June 21, 2023, Madrigal shared a photo on Twitter as he posed in front of a pool wearing a hat that said “Vacation” on it. He held up what appeared to be a coaster that said, “I really should have my own show.”

“What do you think? 😀” Madrigal captioned the tweet.

Several fans replied to say they’d love to see a “Vanderpump Rules” reboot with Madrigal as the main man running the show. Others wanted to see the single SUR manager find love on reality TV.

“Next on the Bachelor?” one fan suggested.

Others suggested Madrigal should buy into Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz’s bar, Schwartz & Sandy’s, and build a show around that.

When one fan wrote, “Never mind your own show. You should have your own restaurant,”  Madrigal replied, “Why not both?”

There was a big hint that Madrigal has something in the works when he appeared on the “Undressed with Pol’ and Patrik” podcast with Pol Atteu and Patrik Simpson in May 2023. During the pod, Atteu read Madgrial’s Armenian coffee cup grinds and questioned him about a project he’s trying to get off the ground with a close friend. “And it’s not a  podcast,” Atteu noted.

Simpson pointed out that Madrigal’s eyes “lit up” when Atteu mentioned the project and Madrigal admitted the read was “interesting.”

“Either he’s brought this to you or you have brought this to him to see how it’s going to work but you guys are very involved in what is about to happen,” Atteu told Madrigal. “At the edge of it, I see a question mark and the formula is trying to figure out how to navigate it because it’s a really, really big project.” Atteu added that there are  “a couple of variables” for Madrigal to work through as he tries to fit the project into his life.

Peter Madrigal Talked About Joining Other Reality Shows Before & He’s Also a Real Estate Agent & Entrepreneur

This is not the first time Madrigal has talked about a reality show outside of “Vanderpump Rules.” In December 2022, he told the “Jamie All Over” podcast he would “love” to go on the Bravo spinoff “Winter House” because fans would be able to see him outside of his role as a SUR manager.

“Want to know the difference between me doing [‘Winter House’] and me doing ‘Vanderpump Rules?’” he said. “I’m not managing SUR, so you get the full view of Peter Madrigal who’s not working! That’s the thing that kind of restricts me from joining in on the drama at SUR. …You’ll get a full view of Peter Madrigal. It’s a very different vibe.”

Madrigal added that he has already started his own production company  and is working on “a bunch of projects.”

Madrigal is also an entrepreneur.  In 2023, he launched the online “#1 Guy Shop” which features candles, t-shirts, and hats that reference moments from “Vanderpump Rules.”

During a May 2023 interview on the “Behind the Velvet Rope” with David Yontef podcast, Madrigal revealed that he has a Weight Watchers partnership and also works in real estate.

“I do real estate as well. I’m looking at acquiring something,” he said. “So, you know, I’m just, I’m working my a** off.”

Madrigal’s LinkedIn page lists him as a part-time Compass real estate agent as of March 2023. His Compass bio describes him as “fast becoming one of the top real estate agents in Los Angeles and West Hollywood.”

In his LinkedIn bio,  Madrigal revealed that in addition to still working at SUR and appearing on “Vanderpump Rules,”  he is working on producing films as well as his own show and podcast.

Madrigal launched a Spotify podcast and is also the creator of a slot machine games app, Peterific Slots, per Bravo.com.

The talk of the season when it comes to “Below Deck Sailing Yacht” season 4 has been the love triangle between Colin MacRae, Daisy Kelliher and Gary King.

Kelliher, who’s been a little more forthcoming about the situation in interviews than her two co-stars, opened up about her budding relationship with MacRae and said the fact that their complicated dynamic was airing on TV was “definitely my worst nightmare,” she told People.

Kelliher said their situation “wasn’t smooth sailing” and added, “I think in an ideal world we would’ve liked each other, we would’ve gotten to know each other and kind of progressed into that. But I did have a history with Gary, and that’s not anyone’s fault. Colin was taken [at the time I slept with Gary], and Gary and I get along and, yeah, I guess we have feelings for each other to some level. So that just added so much complicated stuff.”

The chief stew said it wasn’t exactly a “fun experience” to see their drama play out publicly. That said, Kelliher revealed that the early days of their romance were great and they were learning a lot about each other. “I think he was surprised at how affectionate I am because I put on a scary facade — everyone thinks I’m this ice queen when I’m working, but I actually do have a soft side, and I am intimate and I am affectionate,” she confessed to People.

Daisy Kelliher Shared That the Romance Between Her & Colin MacRae Developed Very Quickly

Kelliher said that her romance with MacRae developed really fast from the moment they kissed for the first time and that “It all started to get really, really heavy, really quickly,” she told People. She said it was a “complicated” situation to begin with as she and MacRae tried to navigate the change from friends to the potential for more, and it was made even worse by King’s presence.

Although it doesn’t come across that way on screen, the Irish native admitted that she was “also leery of Colin” at first. She said the engineer has been known to have “a lot of girlfriends” and she didn’t want to be “just another girlfriend.” Kelliher explained that she wanted MacRae to take time as a single man before the two explored a more serious relationship. “So there was a lot going on while we were trying to navigate our feelings for each other,” she concluded.

Daisy Kelliher Recently Unfollowed Colin MacRae on Social Media

While viewers are seeing the situation between Kelliher and MacRae develop, it seems as though something happened after filming wrapped, and Kelliher is no longer following MacRae on social media. The two of them posted a few photos together after filming so they were in a good place then, but that’s changed now and Kelliher spilled on “Watch What Happens Live” that MacRae will have a lot to answer for at the reunion.

“I don’t want to give too much away, but a lot has happened in the last few weeks and at the moment I don’t expect to hear from him,” she admitted to People. “It’s difficult to not be able to kind of comment on it because I don’t want to spoil anything for the viewers or anything like that. But yeah, a lot has happened in the last year.”

“Vanderpump Rules” star Scheana Shay weighed in on “Real Housewives of New Jersey” personality Teresa Giudice’s marriage to Luis “Louie” Ruelas on the June 23 episode of her podcast, “Scheananigans with Scheana Shay,” alongside her guests Maria Ciuffo and Francesca Mariano of the “Chicks in the Office” podcast. While recording the podcast episode, Ciuffo and Mariano stated they were distrustful of Ruelas. Mariano explained that she believes Giudice “opens herself up to being taken advantage of sometimes.” Shay replied that she thinks she has “that in common with her.” She then compared Ruelas to her husband, Brock Davies, who she wed in August 2022.

“I feel like Louie’s her Brock,” said Shay.

The “Vanderpump Rules” star clarified she believed Ruelas could give Giudice her happy ending like Davies did for her.

“I want him to be her Prince Charming … I just mean like her happily ever after. I want, like, this guy to be her guy,” said Shay.

When Ciuffo stated that she believes Giudice and her sister-in-law, Melissa Gorga, “both have their secrets,” Shay said she thinks “everyone has something they try to keep private from a reality show.” The mother of one then referenced Lala Kent brought up Davies issues with his ex-wife and his estrangement from his eldest children, Eli and Winter when he joined the “Vanderpump Rules” cast in season 9.

“Brock’s just was all of season 9, so we’re good now,” said Shay with a laugh.

In “Vanderpump Rules” season 9, episode 6, Davies stated that he “did slap” the mother of his eldest children during an argument. He explained that after his “little boy was born,” he and his ex-wife separated.

“Then we found out we were pregnant with my little girl, that led to an argument with me and her dad. And they pressed the domestic violence order on me,” said Davies.

Brock Davies Spoke About His Limited Role on ‘Vanderpump Rules’ Season 10

While speaking to Us Weekly in May 2023, Davies referenced that he had a limited role in “Vanderpump Rules” season 10. He stated that he believed his lack of screen time was for the best.

“I learned very quickly by season 9 that my best place is by Scheana’s side, not in front of her, by her side. And, you know, support her however that means going through filming,” said Davies.

Teresa Giudice Commented on Rumors About Her Relationship With Luis ‘Louie’ Ruelas

Giudice addressed rumors that her relationship with Ruelas is “on the rocks” during the June 21 episode of her podcast, “Namaste B$tches.” She asserted that the claims were false. The reality television personality also stated that she would not fabricate relationship issues for the sake of RHONJ.

“Believe me, I don’t play like that. I play like what’s really going on in my life, and I don’t want to say that because, like, I’m not going to put that out there,” said Giudice.

The mother of four stated that she does not “need a storyline like that” because she has “a lot going on in [her] life.”

“I have my cooking channel, my YouTube cooking channel that’s doing amazing, I have my podcast [‘Namaste B$tches’] with Melissa [Pfeister], I have a lot going on with the children,” said Giudice.

Lisa Vanderpump has a plan for the 11^th season of  “Vanderpump Rules.”

Months after co-stars Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss’ cheating scandal rocked the foundation of the Bravo reality show, the SUR owner admitted that she never sees Sandoval’s ex, Ariana Madix, having any type of relationship with him ever again.

And while that could put a wrench in filming at group events, Vanderpump is prepared for a role as a peacemaker of sorts.

Here’s what you need to know:

Lisa Vanderpump Said The Show Must Go on Following Scandoval

Tommy Garcia/Bravo“Vanderpump Rules” season 10 cast photos.

The cast for the 11^th season of “Vanderpump Rules” has not been confirmed by Bravo, but in a  June 2023  roundtable discussion for The Hollywood Reporter, Vanderpump hinted that key players, such as Sandoval and Madix, will be back.

“These people have existing relationships that go on regardless of whether we’re filming, so I think it’d be foolish if we didn’t pick it up now,” she said. “Yes, it’s going to be difficult and there are bridges that are going to be crossed, or maybe they won’t be.”

The “Vanderpump Rules” matriarch admitted she doesn’t see Sandoval and Madix ever being able to have any type of a “mutually respectful relationship.  “I think that is done,” she said. “Now, Tom has had existing relationships with these people for longer than they’ve been on the show. So, I hope to facilitate some type of cohesion somewhere along the line.”

Vanderpump admitted that she doesn’t think the rest of the friend group should forgive Sandoval for his actions, but she added, “Everybody at some point has to move forward. ..So that’s what I’m going to have to do. It’s not going to be easy. But I guess that’s again the ingredient.”

Vanderpump, who serves as an executive producer on the show, added that another key ingredient to the success of the Bravo reality show is the producers who are able to make the cast members comfortable enough to be vulnerable on camera.

Some “Vanderpump Rules” Stars Have Said They Won’t Film With Tom Sandoval or Raquel Leviss

GettyRaquel Leviss and Tom Sandoval in October 2022.

While Sandoval has been out in the public eye touring with his cover band, Tom Sandoval and the Most Extras, Leviss has not been seen in public since shooting the “Vanderpump Rules” finale in March 2023. She has since checked into a treatment center to focus on her mental health.

Should she decide to return to “Vanderpump Rules,” it’s unclear who she would film with because she is no longer friends with co-stars Madix or Scheana Shay, who were the two women who stood by her side before her affair with Sandoval was discovered.

Shay has already admitted she’s not sure how filming will work with Sandoval and Leviss, who have now been ostracized by the rest of the cast.

“I can picture [us filming together] because I’ve had to picture it,” Shay told Us Weekly in May 2023. “That’s the name of the game. But I can’t envision what type of event that would be at. It would have to be something Lisa Vanderpump hosts. [Because] they’re not getting invited to any birthday parties, that’s for sure.”

But even if Vanderpump hosts an event, Madix could take issue with filming with her former boyfriend and/or his mistress.

“No, [I will not film with them]. I have nothing to say to either of them,” Madix told The New York Times in May 2023. “Our show is very real and follows a real group of friends, and neither of them are in the group of friends, so, good luck.”

During the “Vanderpump Rules” season 10 reunion, Leviss, 28, said she wasn’t sure if she will be back for season 1, noting,  “It’s in question right now. I want to.”

But while speaking with Variety in June 2023, Shay cast doubt on the probability of Leviss returning to “Vanderpump Rules.” “I don’t speak to Sandoval or Rachel so I don’t know what their plan is,” she said. “I would assume when you have an offer with a paycheck you come back and you work… I personally don’t see [Raquel’s] family allowing her to come back.”

Shay did speculate that Leviss’ family could decide to use her time in the treatment center as leverage for a comeback. The “Good as Gold” singer also claimed that long before Scandoval, Leviss’ dad said “the second the show didn’t work in her favor he would pull her.”

“Vanderpump Rules” personality Kristina Kelly claimed that a producer showed Raquel Leviss footage of her, Lala Kent, and Katie Maloney having a conversation about the 28-year-old during the production of season 10, as reported by Us Weekly. While recording the June 21 episode of “Straight Up with Stassi,” hosted by former “Vanderpump Rules” star Stassi Schroeder, Kelly acknowledged that some fans criticized how she, Maloney, and Kent interacted with Leviss in Las Vegas during season 10, episode 5.

In the episode, Kent took issue with Leviss, who was intoxicated and eating her leftovers in her hotel room. Kent told her castmate that she “would never trust [Leviss] around [her] man” when she was drinking following her and Oliver Saunders‘ kiss. Leviss responded, “Thank God you don’t have a man to, like, f***** have around.” After the mother of one stated she did not appreciate the remark, Leviss exited her room. Kelly offered to retrieve Maloney’s toiletry bag from Leviss’ room. Upon her return, Kelly told Maloney and Kent that Leviss had turned on her galaxy light projector. Kent then questioned if Leviss was “going to murder” them while laughing. 

According to Kelly, Leviss did not remember the events that occurred that night because of her level of intoxication. She stated that she, Maloney, and Kent “were really confused” when Leviss “started coming at [her] about like the galaxy lights and, like, what [they] were saying behind her back that night and making fun of her.” She stated that eventually she, Maloney, and Kent discovered that Leviss “was shown footage of [them] talking s*** about her.” When Schroeder asked “if she was shown footage or she was told” about the conversation, Kelly replied, “Either way, we had a big thing about it with one of the producers.”

“We were really upset and we found out who it was and we were really, really upset about it … It’s a new [producer],” continued Kelly. 

The Heartsprings founder stated she and her castmates were upset at the producer because they felt Leviss’ storyline was no longer organic. 

“We were like, ‘First off, this is changing the narrative because she – because what are you doing? You’re messing with’ – like that’s not — and I feel like they were trying, like, to give her a storyline to go with that we were, like, these bullies, so it’s like this needs to make sense, so she kind of does need to know what was said that night in Vegas,” said Kelly. 

Schroeder said she understood why Kelly was upset, stating, “Producers are never supposed to do that because then you are messing with reality.” 

Kelly also noted that it appeared that Leviss cried after overhearing her castmates’ conversation. She claimed the scene was edited “where it looks like she’s eavesdropping on us and hearing that.” The mother of one alleged that Leviss cried because she was sad that Ariana Madix’s dog, Charlotte, died.

Us Weekly reported that “a source close to production” told the publication that Kelly’s claims were false.

Stassi Schroeder Stated She Would Have Also Been ‘Making Fun’ of Raquel Leviss’ Galaxy Projector if She Was on the Cast Trip

While recording the “Straight Up With Stassi” episode, Schroeder, who was fired from the series in 2020, said that she would have a similar reaction to Leviss if she had been on the Las Vegas trip. She stated that she “would have been in that same bed making fun of those starry lights” and “would have looked like the mean girl too.” The mother of one asserted, however, that Kelly, Kent, and Maloney “weren’t being mean” to Leviss. 

“I think the way it was edited, it was a weird situation, and it was very clear that you guys weren’t, like, vibing with Raquel and Raquel didn’t give a f***. And Raquel was just coming in hot and saying ‘Well good thing you don’t have a man’ and s*** like that so like no s*** ya’ll are going to make fun of her starry sky,” said Schroeder.

In an April 2023 episode of her podcast, “Give Them Lala,” Kent stated that Schroeder told her that her, Kelly, and Maloney’s behavior toward Leviss was mean. According to Kent, Schroeder did not understand why they were making comments about her galaxy light projector. 

“She was like ‘It’s just so funny because I know that if I would have been in Vegas with you guys I would have probably been doing the same thing, but watching it, I was like my friends are so mean.’ She was like ‘Watching, I was like why would you make fun of her lights?’” said Kent.

Scheana Shay Says She & Lala Kent Would Be Willing to Film With Raquel Leviss

As fans of “Vanderpump Rules” are aware, Leviss and her castmate, Tom Sandoval, were romantically involved while he was still in a relationship with his now ex-girlfriend, Ariana Madix. While filming the show’s season 10 reunion on March 23, the show’s stars confronted Leviss and Sandoval for their actions. 

During the June 23 episode of her podcast, “Scheananigans with Scheana Shay,” Scheana Shay revealed that she would be willing to film with Leviss again for the show’s upcoming eleventh season. She stated that she and Kent decided that they should talk to the 28-year-old on camera for the sake of “Vanderpump Rules” viewers. 

“Lala and I were just talking about this weekend in Palm Springs. We were like ‘look if we have to have conversations with people, we’ve got to have conversations.’ You’ve got to give the people what they want, they want to see these conversations so they’re going to happen, respectfully, with giving Ariana a heads up,” said Shay. 

Andy Cohen began hosting “Watch What Happens Live” on Bravo in 2009, and now he has his eyes set on another hosting opportunity. In a June 22 interview with Us Weekly, when asked about his thoughts on replacing “Wheel of Fortune” host Pat Sajak, Cohen responded, “Dream, dream job. I would love to. That would be incredible.

“Not only is a game show the thing that I haven’t done yet, but that is the premiere game show. It’s really fun,” Cohen added.

Pat Sajak Announces ‘Wheel of Fortune’ Retirement

Sajak revealed his plans to retire from “Wheel of Fortune” after the upcoming 41st season. He began his career on the show over 40 years ago in 1981, taking over from original “Wheel” host Chuck Woolery.

“I’ve decided that our 41st season, which begins in September, will be my last. It’s been a wonderful ride, and I’ll have more to say in the coming months. Many thanks to you all,” Sajak said in a statement to Bloomberg News.

“I don’t think people understand how hard it is to host that show and what a good job he does. He’s smart, he’s funny, he’s a great host. There’s a reason he has been on for so long. But yeah, absolutely. I mean, that would be a dream,” Cohen said of the coveted job.

Good Housekeeping reported that some of the possible names that could replace Sajak as host, if Cohen is not the one to step into his shoes, include Vanna White (who joined the show in 1982 and has been turning letters alongside Sajak as host for 40 years since), Sajak’s daughter Maggie Sajak (who works on the show as a social media correspondent), Ryan Seacrest, Whoopi Goldberg, and Tom Bergeron.

While Goldberg has made her intentions clear that she wants the “Wheel of Fortune” job (or rather, her “View” co-host Joy Behar made Goldberg’s intentions clear when Behar said, “Whoopi wants that job,” and Goldberg responded, “I want that job. I think it would be lots of fun.”), however former “Dancing With the Stars” host Bergeron has made it clear that he does not want the position. When fans commented about the “Wheel of Fortune” gig on his Instagram page, Bergeron responded to say, “😂 No thanks. I’ve developed an aversion to wearing suits” and “I’m hearing @ryanseacrest is in line for that one. Which is good ‘cause the kid needs the work… 😉”.

What is Pat Sajak Doing After ‘Wheel of Fortune’?

Although Sajak’s time at “Wheel of Fortune” is coming to an end next year, the host is rolling right into his position as the chairman of the Board of Trustees at Hillsdale College in Hillsdale, Michigan. Sajak actually began serving as the chair in 2019 after 15 years as vice-chair.

Hillsdale College released a statement about Sajak’s “Wheel” retirement, writing, “Hillsdale College is fortunate to have an even closer relationship with Mr. Sajak. Since 2019, we have benefitted from his wisdom, intellect, and good humor as chairman of Hillsdale’s board of trustees. We look forward to continuing our important work together and to what we are sure will be a bright future for Mr. Sajak and his family.”

Some “Below Deck Sailing Yacht” fans weren’t pleased with Daisy Kelliher as the 4th season progressed on Bravo and viewers saw Kelliher get tangled up in a complicated love triangle.

Kelliher was called out on Twitter by some people who criticized her for exploring a romantic connection with co-star Colin MacRae without telling him that she’d slept with his good friend Gary King on two previous occasions. The chief stew responded to many critics defending her actions and stating that her past was none of MacRae’s business.

“Daisy, you & Gary messed up,” someone wrote. “There’s no way Colin would have slept with you had he known that information. If Gary truly wanted Daisy, she would run back to him. She’s messing with Colin’s feelings.” Kelliher replied, “He hasn’t slept with me we kissed [like] 3 times at this stage.” She also said that they’d only kissed at this point and it was none of MacRae’s business.

“I would have told him post season,” she added. “How was I supposed to know we’d end up liking together. So should I have told him in the stairwell the first night when we kissed. I’d love [to] know when,” she wrote. She continued, “When the appropriate time to have told Colin was in your expert opinion?”

Daisy Kelliher Said Colin MacRae Was Entitled to Feel How He Did But That She Wasn’t Going to Feel Guilty Over Her Past Actions

Kelliher’s comments about her budding relationship with MacRae continued on Twitter as she responded to someone who wrote, “If you really wanted Colin you would’ve told him from the jump he’s not just some dude he’s yours and Gary’s friend.” The Irish native replied, “I didn’t really want Colin it was early days and I was figuring out what feelings I had for Colin.”

In another comment, she explained, “Jesus I’m allowed to figure things out. Yes I liked Colin and yes I knew we would hook up but I didn’t realise I was signing up to a serious intense relationship after a week.” Someone asked her if she thought MacRae was overreacting in this situation and she wrote, “No I don’t think so he’s entitled to react and have feelings hence why I said sorry and felt bad. But I also don’t see that I owed him anything. I’m not going to undermine his feelings but I also am not going to be made [to] feel guilty either.”

Kelliher also replied to one critic who said she shouldn’t have been flirting with King in front of MacRae during the crew day off. She wrote that there was more to the story than what viewers saw but it was left out of the finale edit. Kelliher also fired back at fans who accused her of “trash talk” toward MacRae when she was on “Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen” on June 5. “I didn’t say one negative comment just cause I didn’t blow smoke up [his] a** makes me a s*** talking person,” she wrote.

“Vanderpump Rules” personality Lala Kent reacted to “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Teresa Giudice unfollowing her on social media in the June 21 “Give Them Lala” podcast episode. During the podcast episode, Kent’s assistant, Jessica Walter, referenced that she shared her opinion about RHONJ on the June 7 “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” episode. When Walter inquired if Kent got “any DMs from anything [she] said about ‘Jersey’ on ‘Watch What Happens Live,'” she disclosed she “got an unfollow” from Teresa Giudice. Kent asserted, however, that she was not upset by the situation. 

“I got an unfollow from Tre. That’s okay though, you know what, I’m shrugging. The second that I start really tripping balls about a reality TV personality retaliating in some way if I say something very simple, is the day, like, I can no longer be in this business,” said Kent. 

While Kent did not specify which comment may have caused Giudice to hit the unfollow button, she stated she felt “nervous” about Giudice’s husband, Luis “Louie” Ruelas on the June 7 “Watch What Happens Live! After Show” episode. In addition, the “Vanderpump Rules” personality shared she was “Team Melissa” after watching RHONJ season 13 while filming the “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” episode. As fans are aware, Giudice has publicly discussed her estrangement from her brother, Joe Gorga, and his wife, Melissa Gorga. Issues between the couple and the “Skinny Italian” author worsened after they decided to skip her August 2022 wedding because of events that transpired during the RHONJ season 13 finale. 

While speaking to Extra in May 2023, Giudice stated that she is not interested in making amends with the Gorgas. She explained that she needed to step away from her brother and sister-in-law for her well-being. She clarified, however, that she “wish[es] them well.” 

Lala Kent Discussed Luis ‘Louie’ Ruelas on Her Podcast

During the June 13 “Give Them Lala” podcast episode, Kent discussed Giudice and Ruelas’ relationship. Her guest comedian Heather McDonald mentioned that Ruelas is also feuding with the Gorgas. She asked Kent if she believed Ruelas had Giudice’s best interest at heart or is “alienating her from other people.” 

Kent replied that she thinks Giudice is an “iconic” Bravo star. She stated that she believed the RHONJ star’s fans want the best for the mother of four when it comes to her relationship with Ruelas. 

“I think the only thing that anybody, even the people who don’t know her, just the fans, what do they call them, the Tre Huggers, they want to see her – but just I don’t want to see her devastated by that person,” said Kent. 

Teresa Giudice Addressed Rumors About Her Marriage

Giudice addressed rumors that her marriage is “shaky” on the June 21 episode of “Namaste B$tches.” She asserted that the claims were “not true.” She also implored her podcast listeners to follow her on social media to get insight into her relationship with Ruelas. 

In addition, she stated that she would not fabricate relationship issues for RHONJ. 

“Believe me, I don’t play like that. I play like what’s really going on in my life, and I don’t want to say that because, like, I’m not going to put that out there. I don’t need a storyline like that. I have a lot going on in my life,” said Giudice. “I have my cooking channel, my YouTube cooking channel that’s doing amazing, I have my podcast [‘Namaste B$tches’] with Melissa [Pfeister], I have a lot going on with the children.”

Giudice and Ruelas spoke about filming RHONJ together on a May 2023 episode of “Sherri.” Ruelas stated that he was not surprised that some of his wife’s castmates “came for” him during the production of the Bravo series. He explained he believed “they’re fighting for [his] wife’s seat” on the show.

“They’re not going to go for her. They’re going to come for me,” said Ruelas.

Paige DeSorbo and her boyfriend Craig Conover took a vacation to Italy.

In June 2023, the “Summer House” star and the “Southern Charm” OG posed for photos in Capri, Italy, and some fans are speculating that the vacation will end with an engagement – especially since Paige’s family is there.  And in a side twist, Conover’s best friend Austen Kroll posted photos from Amalfi during the same time frame.

DeSorbo and Conover have been long-distance dating for nearly two years, and this appears to be the first major vacation he has taken with her family.

Paige DeSorbo Shared Photos of Her Trip to Italy With Craig Conover

In June 2023, DeSorbo posted a video to her Instagram story from a balcony overlooking the water in Ischia, Italy. She also shared photos of a pancake breakfast, panini, and ice cream topped with Italian cookies.

A separate slideshow kicked off with an image of a crystal chandelier and another shot of the Bravo star posing in a white dress. DeSorbo also posted a photo of Conover at an outdoor restaurant as well as a picture of the two posing by the water.

“Ciao Bella,” DeSorbo captioned the post.

Fans reacted to the photos, with many of them pushing for the Bravo stars to make things official with an engagement while in Italy.

“*Patiently waiting for the engagement post*,” one fan wrote.

“A proposal in Italy would be great ❤️,” another agreed.

“Craig we’re waiting for a ring,”  a third chimed in.

“Blink twice if you are engaged,” another wrote to DeSorbo.

“I  swear if there’s no ring by the end of this😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭,” another commenter wrote, with another pointing out that DeSorbo’s parents are on the vacation with them,

Craig Conover Thinks Paige DeSorbo Wants to Get Married in Italy

In June 2022, Conover did not go on the DeSorbo family trip to Italy. After fans noticed he wasn’t in photos of his girlfriend’s family vacation, the Sewing Down South owner told BravoTV.com that he wasn’t invited.

“They wanted to do one last family trip without me,” he said. “And her parents are like, ‘Well, I guess Craig’s gonna stick around, so let’s go do one more trip.’”

When DeSorbo vacationed without him in 2022, Conover told Page Six that the long-distance dynamic was getting harder. “She was just gone for 10 days in Italy, and that was tough,” he admitted.

According to Bravo, when his pal Shep Rose went to Europe with his then-girlfriend Taylor Ann Green, Conover thought he was going to propose to her. After Rose revealed that “everyone did,” Conover added, “Well, I guess you have to be able to go to Europe and people not think you’re gonna propose.”

Now that Conover is in Italy with DeSorbo, fans are thinking the same thing. But if he doesn’t propose during the trip, it could be because he’s saving the location for their actual wedding someday.

Conover previously shared that when he does marry DeSorbo, he’d love to have a beach wedding in the Bahamas, but he’s pretty sure that idea will get overruled by the bride. “I don’t think Paige wants a beach wedding, but she’s OK with it being like a four-to-five day experience,” he told E! News in August 2022. “I think her vision is somewhere in Italy.”

Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz have been a tight-knit duo since before their first days on “Vanderpump Rules” over 10 years ago. However, a video of Sandoval singing at one of his shows caused a stir among fans, as the video began circulating soon after Schwartz commented that he was “taking a break” from his former best friend.

The video showed Sandoval performing with his band, Tom Sandoval and The Most Extras, and singing his own version of Fountains of Wayne’s “Stacy’s Mom.” It’s not the first time that Sandoval has changed the lyrics to the song and featured Schwartz in the lyrics instead, often singing “Schwartz’s mom” instead.

However, one follower reposted Sandoval’s video of the performance and wrote, “I have never heard these lyrics before.” In the clip, Sandoval is heard singing, “Schwartzy do you remember when you had a lawn? A homeowner lawn. Your mom came out wearing just a TomTom hoodie and thong. TomTom hoodie and thong.”

Many Fans Criticized Tom Sandoval for the Lyric Change in the Comments of the Video

Many fans were stunned to see Sandoval’s latest video, which appeared to be a dig at Schwartz selling the home he purchased with his now-ex-wife Katie Maloney back in 2022 after the couple’s divorce.

The comments of the video showing Sandoval’s performance with the changed lyrics were filled with criticisms of Sandoval, as one person pointed out that he won’t be a homeowner for much longer either given his split from Ariana Madix. Madix and Sandoval also owned a home together but Madix has shared her desire to sell the home, People reported.

“So glad Schwartz is done with this literal man child,” someone commented. “The fact that he’s not embarrassed by any of this is embarrassing,” another added. “WTF?! So disrespectful!” one person exclaimed while another called it “odd.”

Tom Schwartz Revealed That He Was Taking a Break From Tom Sandoval After the Scandal

Sandoval’s apparent dig at Schwartz in the changed song lyrics came after his former best friend said he’d been taking time away from his friendship with Sandoval. Schwartz, who initially stood by Sandoval to a certain extent and encouraged fans to give his business partner a “hug” if they saw him, shared in early June that he’d changed his tune.

While appearing on VPR alums Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright’s podcast “When Reality Hits,” Schwartz said Sandoval “made a big mess.”

“And then you know, he left it for us to clean up back at the businesses,” he added. “And it’s hard for me not to be resentful of him. I’m taking a break from Tom right now. I haven’t seen him in a while.”

Schwartz told his former co-stars that he didn’t like seeing Sandoval’s reaction in the wake of the scandal as it seemed as though he had no “contrition.” Schwartz said he and his colleagues at the restaurant were all left feeling confused by Sandoval’s apparent “lack of remorse.” He added, “I know he f****** regrets it. But he doesn’t do a good job of showing that.”

He concluded that he was happy to not be involved in Sandoval’s personal life anymore as he didn’t want to be let in on any secrets.

“Vanderpump Rules” alum Stassi Schroeder, who was fired from the Bravo show after season 8, gave an update on her relationship with her former co-star and ex-boyfriend, Jax Taylor, on the June 20 episode of the “Toast” podcast, hosted by Claudia Oshry. The former “Vanderpump Rules” star stated that she feels hurt by Taylor and his wife Brittany Cartwright because of the situation surrounding the couple not going to her May 2022 Italian wedding.

While recording the June 20 podcast episode, Oshry mentioned that Taylor appeared on the June 9 “Toast” episode, where he discussed his estrangement from Schroeder. She referenced that Taylor stated that he could not go to the wedding because he and Cartwright were unable to get their son, Cruz, a passport. He also said he was concerned about “getting stuck in Italy” because of the coronavirus pandemic. In addition, Taylor stated that the “Next Level Basic” author was upset with him because he did not give her enough notice about him not going to her wedding. 

Schroeder responded to Taylor’s comments and stated that she did not believe he said “anything bad” while recording the podcast. She asserted, however, that “he just didn’t say the truth.” She stated that she and Clark took issue with Taylor because he informed a mutual friend that he was not coming to their wedding. She also explained she was upset about the situation because she had a small ceremony and would have liked the chance to invite other people to take her former castmates’ seats. 

“It’s the fact that me and Beau had texted him and Brittany weeks prior, saying ‘we hear you’re talking a little s*** about how you are not going to be coming to our wedding which is interesting because you RSVP’d and you are some of our closest friends so what the f*** is that,’” said Schroeder. “They denied and denied. I gave them the opportunity to back out and they didn’t and the day I left for the airport to fly to Italy, I got a text from Brittany, so, like, that feels way more hurtful.” 

Schroeder suggested that she is not interested in reconciling with Taylor and Cartwright. She stated that while she is “over” the situation, she does not “have to go be besties with people again.” She clarified that she does “miss them at times” and will look at their social media post. 

“I follow them still [on social media] and see what they’re up to in their lives. And Cruz is so cute and all of that. But, like, they hurt me, they really did and it feels like I don’t — I can’t trust them anymore,” said the “Off with My Head” author. 

Jax Taylor & Brittany Cartwright Spoke About Their Falling Out With Stassi Schroeder

During a joint March 2023 interview with Entertainment Tonight, Taylor and Cartwright spoke about their falling out with Schroeder and Clark. Cartwright stated that she and her husband “took too long to get Cruz’s passport and then it took forever to come in” before their wedding. She also said that her mother, Sherri Cartwright, was unable to watch their son because “one of her close friends had a loss in the family.” 

Taylor acknowledged that he “made the mistake of texting Beau’s best friend and saying, ‘Hey listen, I don’t think I’m gonna be able to make this’” before notifying Clark that he would not be traveling to Italy. 

“I should have just went right to Beau because I thought maybe I could ask his friend, ‘How do you think I should handle this?’ It’s one of those things where we would have went … I hope one day they can forgive us,” stated the father of one. 

Jax Taylor Stated He Had to Apologize to His Former Castmates

Taylor mentioned his issues with Schroeder during the May 16 episode of comedian Heather McDonald’s podcast, “Juicy Scoop with Heather McDonald.” He suggested he would possibly rejoin the “Vanderpump Rules” cast. He noted, however, that he has had to mend his friendships with several “Vanderpump Rules” stars following his departure. 

“I had to repair a lot of damage I have done over the years. And I’m finally at a place where I’m 95 percent there. There’s still a couple people I need to smooth over a little bit – Stassi, Beau,” said Taylor with a laugh. 

Thomas Ravenel gave fans an update on Instagram.

The former “Southern Charm” star shared a Father’s Day post that featured photos of Kensie and Saint, his two children from his relationship with his former co-star Kathryn Dennis, as he sent them off for a summertime tradition.

Thomas Ravenel Shared Pics of His Smiling Kids Headed Off to Summer Camp

In a series of photos posted to Instagram on June 18, 2023, Ravenel posed with his 8-year-old daughter, Kensie, in front of a camp bunkhouse. Other photos featured Saint, 6, looking sitting on the bottom of a bunk bed. There was also a clip of the excited children meeting camp counselors as they talked about what team they would be on.

“Enjoyed taking Kensie and Saint to camp today!” Ravenel captioned the post. The South Carolina native’s camp post came a few days after he posted a photo of a church in Maine and wrote, “Bringing Kensie and Saint up here for camp! So beautiful!”

In the comment section, followers wished Ravenel a happy Father’s Day, with many praising him for being such a great dad. Ravenel also shares a toddler son, Jonathan Jackson, with his ex Heather Mascoe.

A few commenters did question the tradition of summer camp, but Dennis’s sister-in-law, Natalie Dennis, revealed that the two kids were excited about camp.

“They have been sooo looking forward to this. I can’t wait to hear about all the fun they have. What a great Father’s Day gift for you to see the joy on their faces at camp. Happy Fathers Day!!” Natalie wrote to Ravenel. Natalie Dennis is the wife of Kathryn’s brother, Luke Dennis and is like a “sister” to the “Southern Charm” star, per BravoTV.com.

Ravenel’s post came on the same day that Kathryn Dennis honored him on Instagram with a photo of him posing with Kensie and Saint. Dennis wrote that she was “grateful” for her ex and their relationship as co-parents. The exes have gone through a  difficult custody battle, so many fans were surprised by Dennis’ heartfelt post.

“Conflict is something I’ve tried to shield the children from,” Ravenel told People of the “constant disagreements and arguments” he had while with Dennis. “[It] was creating a negative energy that was unhealthy for the children. It was a children-first decision,” he added of the split. “We had to put the children first.”

In May 2023, Ravenel told All About The Tea that he was granted permanent sole custody of Kensie and Saint.

Andy Cohen may be “in love” — but his apparent life partner isn’t who you think.

The “Real Housewives” executive producer has proclaimed his love for his dear friend John Mayer, though he swears that the two aren’t — and have never been — more than just friends. The comments came during Cohen’s appearance on The Howard Stern Show on SiriusXM radio on June 14, 2023.

“I am in love with John Mayer,” Cohen told Stern when the radio host said that Mayer’s name was mentioned quite a bit in Cohen’s newest book, “The Daddy Diaries.”

“We are in love with each other,” Cohen added.

Here’s what you need to know:

Andy Cohen Says He & John Mayer Have Never Had a Sexual Relationship

Stern made Cohen “swear” on his children’s lives that there hasn’t ever been anything “sexual” between him and Mayer, to which Cohen replied, “correct. Yes, I do. I swear.”

Stern went on to ask Cohen if he thought that his friendships would ever be in danger because he shares so many details of personal conversations he had, to which Cohen replied, “I think I’m good.” He went on to say that he did tell Mayer that he was putting him in his book “a bunch.”

This isn’t the first time that Cohen has been asked out about his friendship with Mayer, either. On the December 27, 2022, episode of the “Table for Two” podcast, Cohen revealed that Mayer told him that he loved him very early on.

“John Mayer is someone who is very in touch with his emotions. He very quickly in our friendship started saying, ‘You know what, I gotta tell you something — I love you,'” Cohen recalled, adding, “He is someone to say, ‘I love you and I cherish you and I cherish our friendship’ — just this stuff that straight guys aren’t necessarily supposed to say.”

John Mayer Is a Huge Andy Cohen Stan

Mayer hasn’t been shy about his feelings for Cohen, either. For example, when Cohen was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in February 2022, Mayer gave a speech about his dear friend.

“Andy is a classic entertainer — that’s not to say that celebrities in the modern era can’t be entertaining or intriguing,” he said, according to People magazine.

“In fact, those are some of Andy’s favorites, the unintentionally intriguing celebrities. But to be a true entertainer in today’s day and age is to hold an extremely rare position, because it is a massive commitment to the world and the entertainer’s place in it,” Mayer continued. He went on to praise Cohen, not only for the work that he’s accomplished over the course of his career, but also for being a great father and an all-around good person.

“We love you, Andy,” he concluded.

Cohen and Mayer share a unique bond that Cohen wrote about in a 2015 piece for Entertainment Weekly.

“John Mayer and I have what some would consider an unlikely friendship. He’s one of our greatest living guitarists, and I’m regarded as the dude that stirs the s— on late-night TV. We do have one thing that bonds us: our love of the Grateful Dead. So when the band did five shows this summer—their last ever—we used their Santa Clara, Calif., gigs as an excuse to take a road trip and bro it up,” he said.

Mayer is also close to Cohen’s two kids, Benjamin and Lucy.

The former Bravo star also stated that he related to Kroy Biermann. 

“This was a shock when I did see this because of the persona they put on Instagram. I just thought, man, this is a great couple. Like he’s always out in the backyard doing stuff, kind of like me,” said Taylor.

Katie Maloney has a new look – and fans aren’t at all “torn” about it.

In June 2023, the “Vanderpump Rules”  star shared new photos after changing up her hair, and some fans thought she looked straight out of a 1990s music video.

Katie Maloney Cut Her Hair Short & She Looked Like a ’90s Singer

Maloney, 37, debuted her new ‘do in an Instagram post on June 18, 2023.  In a photo, the Bravo star leaned to the side as she showed off a new shorter bob hairstyle with the caption, “Torn.” In an Instagram story she added, “Can’t stop cutting my hair.”

Maloney shared another view of her hair and captioned it, “Learning how to style a new haircut is sometimes the best part.”

Fans and friends reacted to Maloney’s new look with comments on her social media post.

‘I’m DYING OMG 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥,” wrote “Vanderpump Rules” co-star Ariana Madix.

“👏🏼caption 🔥hair,” wrote Scheana Shay.

“You look stunning,”  added celebrity chef Penny Davidi.

Others zeroed in on Maloney’s “Torn” caption, with many of them comparing her to singer Natalie Imbruglia, who rocked a similar look in her video for the 1997 song “Torn.”

“Aaahhh the Natalie Imbruglia reference,”  one fan wrote of Maloney’s post. “Go off Natalie,” another wrote. “Oh come awn miss Imbruglia🔥,” added another.

“I mean you have no idea how much I want to know what you’re Torn about! 😂 But also, thanks for getting Natalie Imbruglia in my head instead of Sandoval’s stupid song. 👏,”  another wrote to Maloney.

According to Vogue UK, the pixie-style bob Imbruglia rocked in the 1997 music video for her Grammy-nominated song became known as the “Torn” bob. Hairstylist Luke Hersheson told the outlet that the textured bob is cut short at the nape of the neck and longer in the front and  “actually looks a bit torn itself.”

Katie Maloney Has Gradually Gone Shorter With Her Hair

When fans first met Maloney on “Vanderpump Rules “ in 2013, she had shoulder-length hair. Over the years she has gone from long looks to shorter, layered looks and she even went through a strawberry-blonde phase.

In 2015, Maloney told StyleCaster that she would love to go platinum blonde but that it would be “so hard” on her hair. “I have really thick, strong hair so it could almost take it but the amount of upkeep,” she said at the time. “For being really into beauty and makeup, I’m also super low maintenance. I think that I would get totally fed up of having to constantly go in and get my hair touched up. I would like to experiment with hair color more, but I just don’t know if that’s just a dream I have to give up.”

In 2021, Maloney kept her hair dark but went shorter with a blunt bob, and her then-husband Tom Schwartz called her out for having a “Karen” haircut.

Schwartz later shared an Instagram video of Maloney getting her haircut and he wrote, “Life pro tip: never tell your wife she has a Karen haircut. Jokes aside I love her hair so much it’s 🔥.”

Since splitting from Schwartz in March 2022, Maloney has gone even shorter.  In January 2023, she showed off a new style that came just to her chin and told fans she was having a good hair day. “Shout out to the girl in the CVS parking lot who came up to me and said, ‘That’s a really good haircut!’ because… you’re correct,” Maloney said, according to BravoTV.com

Kathryn Dennis posted a rare comment about her ex, “Southern Charm” alum Thomas Ravenel, on June 18, 2023, to mark Father’s Day.

Dennis, 31, and Ravenel share two children, 9-year-old Kensington and 7-year-old Saint Julien, but the two have been embroiled in several disputes over custody in the last few years.

The “Southern Charm” star, who confirmed her exit from the franchise after 8 seasons in January 2023, wrote on Instagram, “Happy Fathers Day everyone 💘 I am so grateful for my Father and for the Father of my children. I feel like it’s important to honor my coparent because I am grateful for the gift of our two precious humans above all else and no matter the noise ❤️.”

Dennis accompanied her touching message with several photos, including one of Ravenel with their two children as well as one of her and Ravenel together with both Kensie and Saint.

Kathryn Dennis Was Praised by Fans for the Father’s Day Post to Thomas Ravenel

Dennis has rarely made comments about Ravenel since their tumultuous relationship, which was in part documented in “Southern Charm’s” earlier seasons, and hasn’t posted a photo with Ravenel since 2019.

Fans had a lot to say about her latest post, with many of the comments praising the “Southern Charm” OG for the “gracious” move. “Wow, u r a better woman than me. After the custody s*** he pulled I’d want him nonexistent,” someone wrote. Another person commented, “Very gracious🙌🏻 Your children do/will recognize that.”

One commenter stated, “That’s incredibly nice & respectful of you! You’re a great momma!” Another wrote, “You do whatever it takes to keep the peace. Even when it’s hell. Great job!” Someone else said, “Kathryn these pictures are everything you did get 2 beautiful children from him love that you are honoring girl you are so humble.”

Ravenel also posted on Father’s Day, sharing photos of his kids as he said he took them to camp that day. “Enjoyed taking Kensie and Saint to camp today!” Ravenel, 60, wrote.

The Highs & Lows of Kathryn Dennis & Thomas Ravenel’s Past Relationship Were Shown on ‘Southern Charm’

Viewers saw the ups and downs of Dennis and Ravenel’s relationship during the first few seasons of “Southern Charm” as the former couple welcomed their two children. They split for good in 2016 and Dennis described their breakup as “a long time coming” in an interview with The Daily Dish.

At the time, Dennis told the publication that co-parenting was a “work in progress” but said, she was “confident that we’ll reach a place in time where we can peacefully do that.” Since then, viewers have learned that the two have battled over custody, with the most recent update coming in 2023.

On May 1, 2023, All About the Tea reported that Ravenel was awarded granted permanent sole custody of their two children. “I make all the parenting decisions,” he told the publication. Kathryn has the right to supervised visitation by an approved supervisor [approved by the court] between the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., every other weekend.”

He said he’ll bring the children from his home in Aiken, South Carolina, to a point halfway to Charleston, where Dennis will pick up the kids. The two cities are just over 130 miles apart.

“Vanderpump Rules” personality Brock Davies stated that the rumor he cheated on his wife, Scheana Shay, with Raquel Leviss is untrue on the June 14 episode of her podcast, “Scheananigans with Scheana Shay.” As fans are aware, Leviss was romantically involved with her castmate Tom Sandoval while he was still in a relationship with his now ex-girlfriend, Ariana Madix.

While recording the podcast episode, Shay read a question from a fan who inquired why Davies commented “fire emojis under Raquel’s post.” While Shay and Davies did not specify which of Leviss’ posts he commented on, HOLR magazine reported that Davies wrote, “Ummm what 😮🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥” in the comments section of the 28-year-old’s August 21, 2022, Instagram upload. The comments on the post have since been removed. When Shay stated that Davies had used the fire emoji under “a good photo” of Leviss, the father of three agreed with his wife, stating, “She looked great in the photo.”

“She looked hot and it had nothing to do with me wanting to hit on her, okay. It was me trying to fluff her feathers, which is what I do as a person, I prefer to lift people up than tear them down, so I always saw her as someone that needed that support. And I gave that to her up to the point where we ended up having this coming out,” continued Davies.

Shay also asserted Davies’ comment “did not bother” her. She stated that she recently “commented fire emojis on one of [Raquel Leviss’ ex-fiance James Kennedy’s] posts.”

Shay’s husband also explained he felt protective towards Leviss because he believed she “was innocent” and had been “talked over by” Kennedy when they were in a relationship.

“[She was] somebody just kind of in her shell and we all saw that, so we wanted to support her in however way,” stated Davies.

Brock Davies Spoke About the Rumor in a June 2023 Interview

Davies discussed the rumor about him and Leviss during a June 2023 interview with Us Weekly. The father of three stated that some of Shay’s friends reached out to her after the rumor began circulating.

“It was upsetting because, like, friends of ours were like reaching out, like, ‘Are you okay’ to Scheana,” said Davies. “And I was like ‘I know they are caring out for you honey, but they do realize, like, this is the problem with the audience and the social media is these things can just come out because someone wants to say something.’ And there’s people on the receiving end to it, that was our relationship, it didn’t help.”

He then stated that while the rumor was not true, “it wasn’t fun to deal with.”

“Even though Scheana and I knew — this question was still getting asked, ‘Did anything happen?’ And then to have to tell your wife, ‘No.’ It just doesn’t feel good having those conversations,” said Davies.

Scheana Shay Stated She Does Not ‘Think There’s Any Truth to’ the Rumor About Brock Davies & Raquel Leviss

Shay stated she does not “think there’s any truth to” the rumor that her husband was romantically involved with Leviss during an April 2023 episode of “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.” She clarified that she “absolutely did question him” when she became aware of the rumor.

“After all the Tom and Raquel stuff which I didn’t think was true, I obviously had to ask and he said ‘Absolutely not,'” said Shay. “But I was like, ‘But follow up question, did she ever try because as much as I trust my husband, I don’t trust that h**. He said, ‘No.’ He said he never put that energy off and we know Sandoval did.”

New claims made by Bravo star Paige DeSorbo have “Vanderpump Rules” star Raquel Leviss front and center — again.

During a live show in Chicago on June 10, 2023, DeSorbo revealed that she saw Leviss bee-line toward Craig Conover, DeSorbo’s boyfriend, when they were all at Hannah Berner’s wedding in May 2022.

“I literally survey the whole f****** room, I clock Craig at the bar, and I watch Raquel leave the dance floor and walk over to Craig,” DeSorbo explained in a video uploaded by a fan on TikTok.

“And I’m standing there, and I turn to literally everyone around me, and I was like, ‘I don’t trust this b****, I do not trust her,’ and everyone was like, ‘Oh my God, no, she’s so sweet, and she would never,’ and I f****** knew it,” she added.

Although nothing happened between Leviss and Conover, the whole interaction seemed to leave a bad taste in DeSorbo’s mouth.

Prior to Scandoval (Leviss’ affair with “Vanderpump Rules” co-star Tom Sandoval), her now-ex best friend Scheana Shay was trying to set her up with “Shahs of Sunset” star Nema Vand.

On the May 22, 2022, episode of the “Scheananigans” podcast, Shay — who was previously linked to Vand herself — explained that she tried to set the two up and she thought it was a huge success at the time.

“I met Nema, we went on several dates, which is why more recently – we never slept together – it never crossed the line, but more recently, I was like ‘hey Raquel, you know who I think you should go on a date with is Nema.’ So stayed tuned on updates for on that but let’s just say Hannah Berner’s wedding was a hit,” Shay said.

However, based on what DeSorbo had to say, it seems that Leviss was still very much getting used to being single and starting to mingle following her split from James Kennedy in December 2021.

DeSorbo and Conover became friends a few years ago and grew closer while filming “Winter House” together. They didn’t actually start dating until the fall of 2021 — when they were both single, according to Us Weekly.

Nema Vand Recently Spoke Out About His Brief Romance With Raquel Leviss

On the June 9, 2023, episode of the “Scheananigans” podcast, host Scheana Shay chatted with her guest, Vand, about Leviss. He explained that the two had a flirty romance for about a month — and that was it.

“She wanted to f*** me in your bed, like literally, like, when we went and, like, hung out at your house. I was like ‘okay,’ I felt bad, I didn’t want to like – she wanted to f*** in your bed. I was like, ‘Isn’t that Scheana’s bedroom?’ And she was like, ‘Yeah,'” Vand told Shay.

Months after Berner’s wedding, Leviss started having an affair with Sandoval, who was in a relationship with one of Leviss’ best friends, Ariana Madix. On part 3 of the season 10 “Vanderpump Rules” reunion, Leviss said that she and Sandoval started sleeping together before guys’ night, which is what Sandoval previously claimed.

The two also hooked up in August 2022 — while in Mexico for Shay’s wedding.

Leviss is currently in a treatment facility.

“Upon the completion of filming the reunion, Raquel entered a voluntary inpatient behavioral health and trauma facility and remains there to date — 68 days and counting. Her treatment is helping her learn the basis of her decisions and to grow from her mistakes with the hope of making better choices and becoming a better person,” a source told Us Weekly.

READ NEXT: ‘Vanderpump Rules’ Star Has 1 Burning Question Left for Tom Sandoval

A celebrity chef working with Katie Maloney and Ariana Madix gave an update on Something About Her, the upcoming sandwich shop the two  “Vanderpump Rules” stars are opening this summer.

In a June 2023 interview, Food Network star Penny Davidi gave a tentative opening date for the West Hollywood sandwich shop and revealed that she never thought “Vanderpump Rules’” popularity would be a factor in the new business—because no one thought the show was getting picked up for an 11^th season.

Penny Davidi Said Katie Maloney & Ariana Madix Thought “Vanderpump Rules” Would Be Canceled by the Time Something About Her Opened

“Vanderpump Rules” originally wrapped production during the fall of 2022. Davidi filmed a scene in Lisa Vanderpump’s kitchen with Maloney and was present to help with a Something About Her sandwich tasting that was filmed for the season finale of the show. The sandwich-tasting episode ended with a speech from Vanderpump during which she told all the cast members she loved them all, and it had all of the markings of a series ender.

But when Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss’ shocking cheating scandal breathed new life into the show, an 11^th season became a guarantee.

In a June 2023 interview with The Messenger, Davidi revealed that when she first got involved with helping Maloney and Madix create their menu, they thought the show was over.

“At the end of the day, they didn’t even think there was a Season 11, and no one anticipated this all to happen,” Davidi told the outlet. “They thought they were like, ‘OK, show is done, we’re gonna open up this great little sandwich shop and live our lives,’ and now it’s just propelled into this thing.”

Davidi made it clear that, despite all of the attention on Scandoval,  the goal is “to build a solid business and not rely on a TV show to push us forward.” The chef also teased the possibility of opening  more locations “faster” due to the business’ smaller scale and lower price point and ultimately becoming “a much bigger brand than Lisa Vanderpump.”

In May, Maloney made a similar comment about expanding the business in an interview on the “So Bad It’s Good with Ryan Bailey” podcast. While speaking about the grand opening she said, “There [are] obviously bigger goals for [the business]. Because it’s this one location, but obviously the goal is to have multiple locations.”

Penny Davidi Revealed the Menu & Tentative Opening Date for Something About Her

While speaking with The Messenger, Davidi teased several menu items including The Greek sandwich, a Thanksgiving-themed Gobbler sandwich, homemade pickles and chips, and bakery items, some brought in from local vendors. She also revealed a price point of around $16- $20 to eat at Something About Her.

During an appearance on  the “Everything Iconic with Danny Pellegrino” podcast, Maloney described the Something About Her menu as “gourmet deli.” “You’re gonna have a traditional turkey, but maybe with a little bit of spice or kick to it,” she teased. “A spicy Italian. I love a good egg salad sandwich.”

According to BravoTV.com, in June 2023, Maloney also posted photos of rolls, croissants, and pastries on Instagram, revealing that she and Madix were sampling various breads for the sandwiches.  “We had a bread day today at Something About Her, ’cause we’re trying to make the best sandwiches you’ve ever had. And in order to do that, we have to have the best bread,” she told fans. “We can’t just have sliced bread. … I cannot wait for y’all to taste our sandwiches.”

As for when fans can try out the sandwiches, Something About Her is expected to open by mid-July 2023.

Former “Shahs of Sunset” star Nema Vand, who briefly dated “Vanderpump Rules” personality Raquel Leviss, shared his thoughts about her cheating scandal with Tom Sandoval on the June 9 episode of Scheana Shay’s podcast, “Scheananigans with Scheana Shay.” During the podcast episode, Vand stated that he took issue with Sandoval’s decision to cheat on his now ex-girlfriend, Ariana Madix, with Leviss. He stated, however, that he disagrees with how much criticism Sandoval has received since news of his affair broke in March 2023.

“I do not subscribe to, like, the dumping on Tom Sandoval thing. I think what he did was horrible, I think Ariana is the f***** best, she’s a sweetheart. The level of, like, vitriol hate that is coming at him is really disturbing to me,” said Vand.

The “Shahs of Sunset” star went on to say that he was not affected when he was criticized by bloggers during his time as a Bravo star. He stated, however, that he was concerned about Sandoval’s mental health.

“When you have, like, the world, late night talk shows, when you are permeating media and they are just dumping on you — yes a part of that is, like, poetic justice because Ariana did not deserve that but there’s a point where that stops. And it’s like ‘yo, this could really affect his mental health,’” said the former Bravo star.

Vand clarified that his “sympathy can only go so far for Tom” because of some of his behavior.

“But I just want to be like the level of intensity is so intense I’m like I just cannot imagine what that would be like for him,” continued Vand.

Lala Kent Stated That She Believes Raquel Leviss May Not Be a Suitable Reality Television Star

While filming the “Vanderpump Rules” season 10 reunion on March 23, the “Vanderpump Rules” cast confronted Sandoval and Leviss about their tryst. Days following the reunion, Leviss filmed a confessional interview where she clarified details about her romantic involvement with Sandoval.

While speaking to TMZ on June 9, Leviss’ co-star, Lala Kent, commented on Leviss’ confessional interview. She stated that she believed the 28-year-old may not be a suitable reality television personality. The mother of one also stated that she hoped Leviss, who is currently staying in a mental health facility, has gotten “some real help” following the reunion.

While recording the June 14 episode of her podcast, “Give Them Lala,” Kent explained why she thinks Leviss maybe should not star on reality television.

“When you’re filming a reality show, in my mind, every single person that is on camera with me is mentally equipped to handle whatever is going to come out of my mouth or anyone else’s mouth, right,” said Kent. “When I watched [Leviss’ interview], it wasn’t that I sat there and said ‘Oh I shouldn’t have said those things I said’ because the reason I love doing what I do is because I get to be unfiltered on top of it being entertaining for other people. The second you throw someone in there that cannot handle it, you’re making it so I can’t go and do my job.”

Tom Schwartz Discussed the Criticism Tom Sandoval & Raquel Leviss Have Received

While recording the June 6 episode of former “Vanderpump Rules” star Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright’s podcast, “When Reality Hits with Jax and Brittany,” Sandoval’s friend and business partner, Tom Schwartz, shared his thoughts about negative social media messages sent to the Tom Sandoval & The Most Extras singer and Leviss.

“It’s like holy s***, I get that this is super f**** up and people are, like, disgusted by the whole thing, but like, man, people are just — online are scary sometimes,” said Schwartz.

A “Vanderpump Rules”  veteran thinks her pregnancies spawn bad luck for her former co-stars.

During a pitstop in New York for her “Straight Up With Stassi Live: The Mommy Dearest Tour,” Stassi Schroeder, who is pregnant with her second child, dished on a theory she has about the Bravo reality show that she departed in 2020.

Here’s what you need to know:

Stassi Schroeder Said Her Pregnancies Are “Bad Omens” for “Vanderpump Rules”

While speaking to fans in Huntington, New York, Schroeder revealed her theory about her pregnancies. “I do have this theory that my babies are like bad omens for ‘Vanderpump Rules,’ which is kind of on-brand when you think about it,”  she told the crowd, according to Page Six.

“My first pregnancy, I got canceled. Not ideal, not fun,” she explained. “My second pregnancy, Scandoval.”

The Bravo alum joked that she has been calling up producers to “warn” anyone involved with the show whose lives are going a little “too well” that she’s pregnant again.

Schroeder was an original cast member when “Vanderpump Rules” debuted in 2013, and she expected to stay on the show for the long haul.  In 2019, just one year before her unintended exit from “Vanderpump Rules,” she told Entertainment Tonight that she planned to be on the show until “infinity.” “As long as the show goes on we could be like the ‘Golden Girls.’ Our husbands are all dead, our children are grown, and we’re still eating goat cheese balls … I mean how epic would that be?” she said

But just one year later, Schroeder was suddenly let go from the show due to her involvement in a racism scandal. As she lost all of her brand deals and even her podcast, two weeks later, Schroeder announced she was pregnant with her first child. Her daughter Hartford Charlie Rose Clark was born in January 2021.

On March 1, 2023, Schroeder announced she is expecting her second child, a baby boy that’s due later this year. Her announcement came just a few days before news of her former co-stars, Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss’, months-long cheating scandal exploded and put “Vanderpump Rules” into the headlines.

Bravo Stars Should Brace For More Schroeder-Clark Kids

While Baby No. 2 isn’t even born yet, Schroeder has already said she wants more kids – which could wreak havoc on the Bravoverse if her theory is correct.

During a December 2022 episode of  her “Straight Up with Stassi” podcast,”  she revealed, “I always knew I wanted a big family, as big of a family as I am able to have, I know that I want to have as many kids as I can have.”

Schroeder elaborated a few months later, after her announcement that she was pregnant with her son, “It is my fantasy to have a s*** ton of children, a lot of them,”  she told Us Weekly in 2023.

The “Vanderpump Rules” alum admitted that children are “really expensive” and time-consuming,” but she added, “Never say never because I might wake up one day and decide today’s the day. You never know.”

A “Vanderpump Rules”  star is unsure if she wants to return for season 11 in the aftermath of the shocking cheating scandal that rocked the show this year.

In a June 2023 interview with Rolling Stone, Charli Burnett revealed her status on the Bravo reality show is still in limbo following Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss’ scandal.  The SUR waitress was a recurring cast member for two seasons of “Vanderpump Rules” and a full cast member during season 9.

Here’s what you need to know:

Charli Burnett Thinks Season 11 Will Be Chaotic

BravoCharli Burnett of Vanderpump Rules.

Burnett’s friendship with Leviss was highlighted throughout season 10, most notably when the two left a girls’ trip in Lake Havasu to crash a “boys’ night” in L.A. with Sandoval’s crew. Leviss’ affair with Sandoval was allegedly sparked after the boys’ night, but Burnett had no clue that her friend was involved in an affair with the Schwartz & Sandy’s co-owner.

As Scandoval played out in the background, Burnett was dealing with personal issues while filming season 10. She told Rolling Stone she opted out of filming the original season finale scene, which was set at Lisa Vanderpump’s restaurant, SUR, so was not allowed to participate in the reunion that was filmed months later.

And although she was still offered a full-time spot on the show, Burnett has not decided if she will return for season 11, partially because she fears she will have to film scenes with Leviss should the former pageant queen also return. “That’s uncomfortable for me because I love  Ariana,” Burnett said. “I am Ariana’s friend and I’m very upset with everything that’s going on. I feel like filming next season would be very, very weird and really stressful.”

Burnett predicted a chaotic and tense season in the aftermath of Scandoval, especially if key players such as Sandoval, Leviss, and Tom Schwartz all return.   “How is everyone not going to fight the entire time?” she asked. “A lot of them thrive in that chaotic environment. I also think that with this group, a lot of people flip-flop.  … I think it probably will unfold very messily.”

Charli Burnett Previously Said She Wants More of Her “Real” Life to Be Shown if She Returns to “Vanderpump Rules”

Ahead of season 10, Burnett got off on the wrong foot when she posted a drunken TikTok Live. “The tea for next season is I don’t f***ing like anybody. That’s the tea. And Scheana [Shay] is a f***ing loser,” she said in the clip, which was captured by the Bravo fan account PumpRulesFans.

She later told Us Weekly she regretted the post. “I don’t hate everyone,” she said. “I was a little tipsy when I did that. I was a little much. I apologize. …But no, I don’t hate everybody.”

If she does return for another season, Burnett hopes fans will see another side of her. In a May 2023 interview on “The Viall Files” podcast, Burnett admitted that she sometimes wishes that she didn’t do the last two seasons of “Vanderpump Rules” because she didn’t “show up” the way she should have.

“I mean there’s so many girls that would kill to be on ‘Vanderpump,’ you know, and I was there and I was very sad and I wasn’t happy and I didn’t like what I was doing,” she said. “I didn’t show up to the finale and that, you know, was my bad and I just said sorry to Bravo and Evolution. That was something that you shouldn’t do when you’re in a work ethic. Like that’s something I don’t believe in.”

Burnett took time to focus on her mental health and is in a much better place now, so if she does decide to return, she’s hoping she will get to show a more “in-depth” side of who she really is.

“From my work ethic, the things I do in my free time,” she said. “I hope that I get to show that side of myself. I feel I could actually show up, bring the right kind of drama, bring the right kind of fun and show more of who I am — the real version, not, like, the face I was putting on.”

Meghan McCain spoke out in defense of Raquel Leviss ahead of the final episode of the explosive 10th season of “Vanderpump Rules,” which was titled “Secrets Revealed.”

The former “The View” co-host unpacked the infamous Scandoval in a column for The Daily Mail and wrote that she was starting to feel “more compassion for Raquel than Ariana [Madix].” McCain wrote that Leviss, who had a months-long relationship with Madix’s boyfriend of 9 years, Tom Sandoval, took accountability for her actions at the VPR reunion and apologized to Madix.

“Yes, she and Tom had behaved terribly. But she took responsibility for what she did, and she was clearly suffering,” McCain wrote. She said Leviss’ remorse wasn’t enough and her castmates ripped into the former pageant star in the three-part reunion. “To her credit, Lisa Vanderpump recognized the pile on, and she tried to stop it,” McCain added.

The columnist went on to criticize the level of “real hate” and vitriol aimed at Sandoval and especially Leviss, who’s been receiving treatment in a mental health facility since filming the reunion.

Meghan McCain Said the Toll of Scandoval on Raquel Leviss Appeared ‘Terrifying’

McCain said it appeared as though the Scandoval and its fallout had “taken a terrifying toll” on Leviss. “Reality television is meant to be escapism, not sadism. Yet that’s what this became,” McCain wrote for The Daily Mail.

“The View’s” former host said that Bravo should “thank” Leviss for catapulting the show into national awareness, as Scandoval saw a huge boost in ratings for “Vanderpump Rules.” “From here now on out, they should proceed with a level of sensitivity that this debacle deserves,” she added and said she was interested in seeing more of Leviss’ story.

Ariana Madix & Lala Kent Both Said It Was a Lot Seeing Raquel Leviss’ Emotional Confession in Her Final Interview After the Reunion

The three-part reunion, which was filmed just a few weeks after the news of Leviss and Sandoval’s affair broke, saw Madix and some of her co-stars lash out at the pair. However, by the time it aired in late May and early June, finishing with Leviss’ emotional breakdown as she came clean about everything, some cast members’ stance toward Leviss had softened a bit.

“It was a lot,” Madix said of the final episode of the reunion, Page Six reported. The Bravo star was asked if she felt for Leviss after seeing her appear “really hurt” by her actions and Madix said, “Sure, yeah.”

As for Lala Kent, she also acknowledged that Leviss’ meltdown at the end of the reunion made her think that her co-star should get help. “I did sit there and go, ‘She needs some real help, and I pray she got it,’” Kent told TMZ.

She later clarified on her podcast, “Give Them Lala,” that she didn’t feel bad or regret any of her reunion comments. “You’re coming to the reunion to answer for what has happened. I’m not gonna censor myself. If this isn’t the place for you because your mind can’t handle it, you shouldn’t be here.”

READ NEXT: Andy Cohen Calls ‘Nightmare’ Real Housewife a ‘Disaster’

“Vanderpump Rules” star Lala Kent shared she was concerned while filming the first part of the show’s season 10 reunion special on the June 14 episode of her podcast, “Give Them Lala.” Her guest, comedian Heather McDonald, suggested that she believes Bravo stars, specifically the cast of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey,” get upset when their castmates mention certain information “on camera.” Kent replied that she found herself in that situation during the season 10 reunion when moderator Andy Cohen asked Katie Maloney if Kent’s “friendship with Scheana [Shay has] been an issue at all between [them].” Maloney, who took issue with Shay after she was vocal in her support of her ex-husband, Tom Schwartz, romantically pursuing Raquel Leviss, stated that she believed Kent “probably would have not been happy with [her]” if their roles had been reversed. 

“I was in that position this season and I’m not going to say what it was, but when Andy asks the question about has my friendship with Scheana affected me and Katie. And there were things that were said on everyone’s part,” said Kent in the “Give Them Lala” episode. “And I remember Katie and I made eye contact. I made eye contact with Scheana and I was like I can’t control either of you right now. Just like you guys can’t control the rest of us. And I was like this could be something that comes out and I think — again no one talked about it. No one talked about it.”

Kent said she had a conversation about the situation with Maloney and Shay during their lunch break. She told Maloney that she felt “nervous” that the undisclosed information would be discussed at the reunion.

She also explained that she wanted the pair to be romantically involved because “at the time [she] was getting a very different story from Raquel.”

Scheana Shay Spoke About Her Relationship With Tom Schwartz in May 2023

During the May 30 episode of the “When Reality Hits With Jax and Brittany” podcast, hosted by Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright, Shay shared her current feelings about Schwartz. She referenced that Schwartz confirmed he knew Tom Sandoval and Leviss were romantically involved while he was still in a relationship with his now ex-girlfriend, Ariana Madix, months before reports began circulating about the cheating scandal in March 2023. According to Shay, Schwartz asked her if she disliked him when he ran into her at the West Hollywood restaurant, TomTom.

“We were at TomTom and I ran into him and he’s like ‘Do you hate me?’ And I go ‘Tom, honestly, I don’t know how I feel about you right now.’ That’s the best thing I can say,” said Shay. 

Stassi Schroeder admitted she regrets spending big bucks on a national holiday back in 2018.

The former “Vanderpump Rules”  star spoke out in a June 14, 2023 interview on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast after host Alex Cooper asked her about her signature #OOTD hashtag, which stands for “Outfit of the Day.” Schroeder then revealed how invested she was in the concept.

“I bought a national holiday,” Schroeder said. “What a waste of money!”

Stassi Schroeder Explained Why She Paid $40K For the OOTD Holiday

In the interview, Schroeder admitted that she is embarrassed about her extravagant purchase.  “Honestly, it’s so cringe,” she said. “You have to buy it, you don’t just get to own holidays for free.”

When Cooper asked her how much the holiday cost, Schroeder replied, “It’s so embarrassing. I think it was like $40,000. It is so embarrassing and like, you guys, I would not do it again, just throw away that money to have a holiday.”

The former Bravo star explained that at the time, she thought it would be “good branding” as her first book, “Next Level Basic: The Basic B**** Handbook” was just coming out. But what she didn’t know was that there was an expiration date for her time as a national holiday owner.

“You own it for a year and I didn’t know that,” she said. “So the next year came around and they were like, ‘Alright, you gotta pay for it again.’ I’m like, ‘You’re out of your f***ing mind. This is a lifetime commitment you think I’m gonna spend every year?’”

“I’m so embarrassed,” Schroeder admitted to Cooper. “I’m so embarrassed, I don’t even care if people come for me because I deserve to be come for.”

According to Slate, the National Day Calendar company is behind the list of special holidays. The company gets 20,000 applications each year and only about 30 of them are approved.

While Schroeder said her name no longer appears in conjunction with the holiday, as of 2023 her OOTD holiday is still listed as June 30 on the National Calendar Day website. Other holidays on June 30 include International Day of Parliamentarism and International Asteroid Day.

Stassi Schroeder Talked About Her Holiday on an Episode of “Vanderpump Rules” Season 7

Fans first heard about Schroeder’s holiday purchase on a 2019 episode of “Vanderpump Rules.” In the season 7 episode “Girls Night In,” Schroeder revealed that she created National Outfit of the Day Day and that the process was “really hard.” “I had to find what this company was that does all these national holidays,” she said, adding, “I’m a f***ing holiday owner.”

Schroeder also revealed that it was actually her now-husband Beau Clark’s idea for her to buy the holiday after she began using the #OOTD hashtag in social media posts about her outfits.

“Honestly it was my boyfriend’s idea. I’m always taking my OOTDs and he was just like, ‘make this a national holiday,’” Schroeder told People Style at the time. “They have like a National Holiday for Lamps, and no one thought of doing one for OOTDs?”

Schroeder revealed that in addition to applying for the day and paying a fee, she was required to create an Outfit of the Day website and a mission statement.

As for why she created the fashion-themed holiday, she added. ‘“I just wanted a day where we all come together where everyone puts their best outfit forward and love themselves.”

Chase Lemacks had some choice words about his “Below Deck Sailing Yacht” season 4 co-star and boss Gary King as the season is currently airing on Bravo.

On June 12, the deckhand appeared on “Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen” and unpacked the beginning of the season, including his issues with the First Mate. Lemacks was asked how King could have been a better leader for him and his fellow deckhand Alex Propson and Lemacks replied, “There were just no instruction[s].”

“We were expected to know everything, and then we would be called out when we did it wrong,” he added. “I think if he took two hours on the first day he arrived and walked us around the boat [and] showed us how everything worked, we would have been fine.” As viewers saw, King missed the first charter of the season due to a positive COVID test, but once he joined the boat he didn’t give his deckhands a walk-around.

“I would just learn where things [were] on the boat and we’d screw up and he’d call us out for it,” Lemacks explained. “That’s how we learned.” The deckhand also said that as a manager, he’d want to help people improve and not call them out.

Gary King Criticized Chase Lemacks in Conversations With Captain Glenn Shephard & Colin MacRae

Lemacks and Propson held down the fort fairly well in the first charter of the season with Colin MacRae’s help after King was quarantined in his hotel with a positive COVID test. Once he joined the boat, it didn’t take long for him and Lemacks to clash.

King criticized Lemacks on a few occasions, including in conversations with Captain Glenn Shephard and MacRae. In one scene, Lemacks opened up with King about Propson’s work ethic as he found some parts of the boat hadn’t been properly cleaned after Propson’s night shift. Lemacks told King he’d prefer to just let Propson know directly but King assured him he’d handle it.

Viewers then saw King throw Lemacks under the bus when speaking with Propson and telling him that Lemacks was fuming over the boat’s condition.

Some Fans Have Also Commented on Gary King’s Leadership This Season

Some viewers have also called out King for his style of management with the deckhands this season. One Reddit thread saw a commenter say, “My problem with him remains that he mostly just ducks out for a ciggy… He’s the most annoying kind of boss, the kind that works the least.”

Someone else wrote in another thread that King is a “terrible leader.” They said, “His philosophy of crap talking his team behind their backs but not actually giving them any direct feedback is so immature and shady.” Another agreed, “He’s an absolutely TERRIBLE boss. Not only is he not harnessing Chase’s energy to work hard and learn, but to throw him under the bus to Alex… was so utterly unprofessional and just… wrong.”

Several other commenters criticized King’s behavior toward Lemacks, who appeared keen to learn on the show, and the First Mate’s apparent attempt to pit his two deckhands against each other.
