Tamra Judge made her return to “The Real Housewives of Orange County” for season 17 after a two-season absence. While viewers saw Judge’s eldest child, Ryan Vieth, during the third episode of the season, Judge’s three other children have not been on the show.

The mother of four shared a rare update on her three youngest children on June 22, 2023, while speaking with Bravo TV. Judge has two daughters, Sidney and Sophia, and a son named Spencer with her ex-husband Simon Barney. Vieth is Judge’s son from her previous marriage. “Sophia just graduated high school last week,” Judge revealed to the publication. “[I’m] super excited about that. My last baby has graduated, so it’s kind of sad, but it’s exciting.”

However, Judge confirmed that Sophia would be attending a local college, explaining, “She’s not going anywhere anytime soon. She’s going to go to a school locally, so we’re happy for that. But she’s doing amazing.”

Tamra Judge Gave an Update on Her Relationship With Her Eldest Daughter Sidney on ‘Watch What Happens Live’

While Sophia became a high school graduate, her younger son Spencer is set to graduate from college soon. “Spencer is in college getting his psych degree, and he is doing amazing,” the RHOC star told Bravo TV in the same interview. “[He’s] been working really hard. He lives about an hour away from us, but we talk every single day. And he’s excited to graduate.”

She said seeing her youngest graduate from high school has been like graduating herself, joking that she looked at her husband Eddie Judge and thought, “Woo-hoo, we’re done,” she shared. “We’re done, right? We can move, we can do whatever we want.”

In addition to the exciting developments in her two youngest children’s lives, Judge recently shared that she’s in a “good” place with her oldest daughter Sidney after their estrangement. “I actually saw her at Sophia’s graduation, and things were nice,” Judge shared on “Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen” on June 7.

Tamra Judge’s Son Ryan Vieth Made an Appearance in the 3rd Episode of RHOC Season 17

During the third episode of RHOC season 17, titled “We Cut It Close(ed),” viewers saw Judge’s eldest child, now a rancher, attend the final CUT Fitness party hosted by the Bravo star and her husband. During a confessional interview, the mother of four updated viewers about the latest in Vieth’s life and that of his daughter Ava.

Judge’s relationship with her oldest daughter Sidney became strained after her divorce from Sidney’s father, Simon Barney, in 2011. Judge and Barney were given equal custody of their three kids but Sidney chose to live with her father full-time and became estranged from her mother.

However, in 2020, Judge explained that her ex-husband’s throat cancer diagnosis had brought the whole family closer and contact between them all had increased. “The kids were split after the divorce and chose sides but, at the end of the day, none of that matters,” she told People at the time. “All we have to do is rally together to make it through this.”

Heather Dubrow didn’t hold back when she was asked about her “Real Housewives of Orange County” co-stars Tamra Judge and Shannon Beador’s friendship.

While speaking with Today a few episodes into the 17th season of RHOC, Dubrow was asked if she thought the two women’s friendship is “just for the show.” The longtime RHOC star replied, “Let’s just go with the facts. The facts are that they were quote, ‘best friends,’ and then as soon as Tamra left the show, they didn’t speak. Now that she’s back on the show, all of a sudden, we’re very close friends again. You do the math.”

Dubrow also addressed her rift with Beador and Judge now, despite being instrumental in getting the women to make up at the beginning of season 17.

“It sucks, it feels terrible,” she admitted to the publication. “I mean, three women together are difficult, three kids together are difficult, someone’s always an odd man out. As much as I wanted the two of them to become friends again, because I really did, my one concern was that I was going to be on the outside, and it’s exactly what happened.”

Heather Dubrow Spoke About Her Friendship With Gina Kirschenheiter

While Dubrow hinted that she thought Beador and Judge’s friendship was just for the show, she was also on the receiving end of that accusation regarding her friendship with Gina Kirschenheiter. “I really like Gina, and I really felt we had a real friendship,” Dubrow told Today.

Dubrow then pointed out that Kirschenheiter ghosted her, as viewers saw in the RHOC season 17 premiere. “I mean, I had her parents over, I invited her to all these things and then I never heard from her again, which I found upsetting,” Dubrow shared. “She tells me she’s going to work on it and now you’re going to have to watch and see, but I’ll tell you this, I have four kids, a husband, friends, 12 jobs. If you think I have time for fake friendships, that would be wrong.”

Dubrow admitted that her friendships with all of her co-stars are at “odd, different states” and she would have a lot to discuss with all of her castmates at the upcoming season 17 reunion.

Shannon Beador & Tamra Judge Opened Up About Why Their Friendship Ended in the RHOC Season 17 Premiere

The first few episodes of season 17 of RHOC saw Beador and Judge open up about the end of their friendship, which Beador attributed to Judge getting fired from the show in 2020. Beador admitted that while they were “best friends” for years, they hadn’t spoken in two years and she accused Judge of hitting “below the belt” in certain interviews and on podcasts.

Dubrow encouraged the two to reconcile, and Beador told Us Weekly that she and Judge are now in a “good place.” She said once the two women decided to pursue a friendship again, it was “instant,” she shared. “It was like we were right back to where we were two and a half years ago.”

“Real Housewives of Orange County” personality Heather Dubrow revealed her 19-year-old son, Nicholas “Nick” Dubrow, could have appearances in the Bravo series, “Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles.” While speaking to TODAY.com in June 2023, Dubrow gave an update on her eldest son and his twin, Maximillia “Max” Dubrow. She shared that her oldest daughter is staying with her family and “working with animals this summer” after finishing her first year at Tufts University in Boston, Massachusetts. She also noted that the 19-year-old is “traveling with her girlfriend in Europe.” 

The RHOC star then shared that “Nick got his real estate license.”

“[H]e is interning for [‘Million Dollar Listing’] star Josh Altman this summer. He may end up on some episodes of ‘Million Dollar Listing,’” said Dubrow. 

During the TODAY.com interview, Dubrow noted that Altman helped sell her and her husband, Terry Dubrow’s Newport Beach house in 2022. 

“What happened was we went looking for a place for me and Terry for some day and found the place, bought the place and then 10 days in escrow, Josh Altman, who I did not know at the time and now is a dear friend from ‘Million Dollar Listing,’ called and said he had someone that wanted to see our house. The rest is history. Our house got sold and so here we are going, ‘Oh, my gosh. It’s almost like we’re newlyweds.’ We go, ‘What are we going to do,’” stated the mother of four. 

Heather Dubrow Addressed Rumors She May Not Come Back to ‘The Real Housewives of Orange County’

While speaking to TODAY.com, Dubrow, who rejoined the RHOC cast for season 16 after a two-year hiatus, addressed rumors that she may exit the series again following season 17. She also commented on if she would be interested in remaining on the show’s cast for future seasons. 

“Look, in general, I’ve been doing this, whether actually on the show, taking a hiatus, coming back, for about 12 years, and I am incredibly grateful for the platform that this has presented for me and for my family. Having said that, what’s the next evolution of me, my life, my family, my career — I guess time is going to tell,” said Dubrow. 

During a June 2023 interview with Entertainment Tonight, Dubrow’s castmate, Tamra Judge, revealed she had issues with the “Jenny” actress during season 17. She stated, however, that despite their problems, she believes Dubrow “definitely has a spot on the show.”

“We need fancy pants, for sure. I don’t think it’s the end for Heather, by any means,” said Judge. 

She then joked that it would be her fault if Dubrow decided to exit the Bravo franchise again. 

“If she doesn’t come back, it’s because of me,” quipped Judge. 

Heather Dubrow Stated She Had Difficulty Filming ‘The Real Housewives of Orange County’ Season 17

During a June 2023 interview with New York Live, Dubrow stated that she had difficulty filming the seventeenth season of RHOC, which premiered on June 7. 

“This season in particular for me, usually by the end I feel like we’re balanced, we’re good, I know where I stand with everyone, this I don’t feel that way and I still don’t and there’s so much to work out and unpack and that — yeah, man I need a vacation,” stated the reality television star.  

Dubrow also suggested she felt “isolated” by her castmates during the production of season 17. 

“The question is did I isolate myself or was I isolated by the group, and that — we’re going to have to wait and see,” said the Bravo personality. “You know, what’s funny with these shows and even life, you have your own narrative about things that happened and then your memory maybe changes as time goes on so it will be interesting to see it all play out.” 

Tamra Judge returned to “The Real Housewives of Orange County” in 2023 after two seasons off of the show, and the OC Housewife’s return is not without its drama.

In the Wednesday, June 21 episode of RHOC, Judge made claims that her friend and new cast member Jennifer Pedranti was caught cheating by her ex-husband. Judge and Pedranti met when Pedrandti started working out regularly at Judge’s CUT Fitness gym, and the two became fast friends. It was also at CUT Fitness that Pedranti met her current boyfriend, Ryan Boyajian.

“I had no idea that Jenn was having an affair with Ryan when she was married to [her ex-husband] Will,” Judge explained in a confessional, “[Eddie and I] went to Cabo with Ryan and Ryan sat down and said ‘Listen, I need to talk to you about something.’ […] He said he and Jenn were having an affair.” Judge said that Pedranti’s then-secret had created a temporary rift in their friendship.

Tamra Judge Tells Jennifer Pedranti ‘Just Be Honest’

Later in the episode, while at a party to celebrate the closing of CUT Fitness, fellow RHOC cast member Emily Simpson asked Pedranti questions about the affair and how her relationship with Boyajian came about. When Pedranti confirmed that her ex-husband was often away for work in Oklahoma around this time, Simpson asked, “Had you slept with Ryan when your husband went to Oklahoma?” to which Pedranti said “No”, eliciting a look from Judge that gave her pause.

“Just be honest,” Judge whispered in Pedranti’s ear, “I think you should just be honest.”

“Ryan started coming to the gym during the pandemic,” Judge further explained in confessional, “I think it was April or May. Then by October, her husband caught them in a car together.”

“I met Ryan, he gave me a gift, there’s no sex in the car in the parking lot,” Pedranti countered in her own confessional.

“I feel like Jenn tells different stories to different people, but I went through it all with her,” Judge added.

Tamra Judge Claims to Have Caught Another RHOC Co-Star Cheating

Pedranti is not the first “Housewives” star accused of cheating by Judge. In an interview for the tell-all book “Not All Diamonds and Rosé: The Inside Story of the Real Housewives From the People Who Lived It” by Dave Quinn, Judge told the story of the biggest secret she kept off camera during her initial run on RHOC, involving her castmate Gretchen Rossi, during filming for season four of the show.

“Gretchen and I were good for a while,” Judge said, “The problem was, Vicki [Gunvalson], Jeana Keough and I were out at an event at the St. Regis one night, and we saw Gretchen there with this younger guy, sitting on his lap and kissing him.” At the time, Rossi was engaged to Jeff Beitzel, who passed away from cancer in 2008.

Judge was not close with Rossi on the show at the time but explained that she decided not to bring up her St. Regis spotting on camera after a conversation with her co-star. “We had our first heart-to-heart,” Judge said, “She told me, ‘Listen, I met Jeff, we dated off and on, it wasn’t a great relationship. We were broken up and then got back together. Had I known that he was going to get leukemia and I’d have to be his caregiver, I would have left a long time ago.’ I thought it was really brave of her to tell me that. So I never repeated it, never said a word about it while we were filming.”

A star from the first seasons of  “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” is living large in California.

Original RHONJ star Dina Manzo and her husband Dave Cantin recently purchased a sprawling $16.9 million home just outside of Santa Barbara in Montecito, California, as reported by The Dirt on June 20, 2023.

The outlet noted that the original real estate listing described the mansion as “Montecito’s most coveted offering.” Other Montecito residents include Oprah Winfrey, Tom Cruise, and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, per Harper’s Bazaar, so the Cantins are in good company.

Here’s what you need to know:

Dina Manzo’s New Home Has Ocean Views

Manzo’s new Tuscan home is 6,000 square feet and includes separate maid’s quarters and a motor court. The renovated home, built in 1994, features five bedrooms, a gourmet kitchen, multiple fireplaces, and a marble bathroom and a private balcony attached to the primary suite, which also has a view of the ocean. There are also stone patios and a pool/spa area surrounded by olive trees.

Fans reacted to photos of Manzo’s new home on social media. Several called  it “stunning.”

“Damn she went rich rich. Good for her! That is the Creme of the Ca coast, gorgeous,” one commenter wrote.

“Finally a NJ girl with taste in homes!!!!” another added.

“Good for them. Get away from those crazy jersey ladies & live the quiet beach life,” a third chimed in.

Dina Manzo Cantin Moved to California Nearly a  Decade Ago

It’s actually been a while since Manzo left those “crazy Jersey ladies.” After starring in two seasons of RHONJ in 2009 and 2010 she took a several-season break then returned for season 6  in 2014 before making a move to the West Coast.

In 2015, Manzo told Entertainment Tonight that she was always drawn to California. “You know, I always felt like I was a California girl stuck in New Jersey,” she said. “Every time I came here, it felt like home.”

Manzo first moved to Malibu after her divorce from her first husband Tommy Manzo, She admitted that the move was spawned by her wanting to start a new life following her breakup.

According to BravoTV.com, Manzo first rented a mid-century ranch in Malibu when she made her move to the West Coat. She also gave fans a tour of the oceanside Malibu abode she lived in a video for Glam Inc’s Haute Havens. “I just came here to kind of chill out while things were settling back in New Jersey and decided I actually want to live here now,” she said at the time.

Manzo also said she was drawn to the view from the tiny home. “It’s all about the view here,” she said. “Very different from where I lived in New Jersey. You know this house is probably a quarter of the size of my closet.”

She then showed off the private deck with a view of the ocean and mountainside. “It’s so amazing,” she said. “Every morning I come out and I drink my hot water with lemon and I watch, and there’s whales and dolphins and I love it out here it’s just so beautiful.”

After marrying entrepreneur Dave Cantin in 2017, Manzo lived in a $3.5 million modern farmhouse in San Juan Capistrano, per Bravo. The 4,400-square-foot home was located in a gated equestrian community and featured a bright blue kitchen with terra cotta tiles, and a pool complete with a fountain, a hot tub, and a view of the stables.

The “Real Housewives of New York City” will reboot for its 14th season with an all-new cast and the new RHONY ladies have spilled on their past interactions with other Housewives, including longtime star Ramona Singer.

The new RHONY cast consists of Ubah Hassan, Jenna Lyons, Sai De Silva, Erin Dana Lichy, Jessel Taank and Brynn Whitfield. The women spoke about whether other Housewives reached out to give advice about appearing on reality TV or to introduce themselves and Whitfield said that she spoke with Lisa Vanderpump, explaining to Cosmopolitan, “I knew her prior to the show because her daughter is my good friend. She said, be yourself and have fun. Just enjoy it.”

Lichy said her husband got a call from RHONJ husband Joe Gorga and that he gave “amazing” advice. “‘You better watch your wife! Better make sure it doesn’t go to her head!'” Lichy recounted. “He was like, ‘Get all the guys drunk, get them trashed!’ We were like, we don’t have that many guys.” Hassan said RHODubai’s Chanel Ayan told her, “Don’t go below the belt. With any human you interact with, don’t go to a place where you can hurt someone’s soul.” According to Page Six, Ayan and Hassan are cousins.

As for advice from former RHONY stars, Lichy said she and De Silva had lunch with Jill Zarin and her daughter Ally and it went really well. De Silva shared, “They all say the same thing: Be true to yourself because the audience will see right through you.”

Hassan said she met Ramona Singer and she was “so funny.” She added, “I love Ramona because… she’s Ramona!” She recounted, “We met at a lounge and she asks, ‘Are you married?’ and I said no and she was like, ‘Forget it after this show.’ You might think it was mean but it was hilarious. She’s f****** right. I tell boys now, you got to put a ring on it because my price is about to go up.”

The New RHONY Stars Said They Got Great Advice From Other Housewives, Including Lisa Vanderpump

“I met someone who wasn’t very nice but I won’t say who,” De Silva told Cosmopolitan in a joint interview with her co-stars. “I think she was mean to a lot of people,” Lichy added. Lyons chimed in, “Yeah, she’s definitely… She’s salty.” None of the RHONY stars named the Housewife or said which franchise she was from.

In June 2023, RHONY alums Luann de Lesseps and Sonja Morgan gave the new stars some advice as well. “Be true to yourself because the camera doesn’t lie,” the Countess shared with Bravo TV. “They just need to bring their big city game to the table,” she continued. “I wish them a lot of luck, because we’re hard people to follow.”

As for Morgan, she shared some words of caution: “If you start getting a little too heady and you think you’re it and you’re the show, [the viewers] don’t really like that.”

The Trailer for the New Season of RHONY Showed a Mix of Fun & Drama for the Cast

Fans got their first look at the RHONY reboot on May 15 when the trailer for the season dropped. It showed the women opening up about their lives, including Taank’s confessions about her relationship with her husband, as well as Lyons opening up about her journey coming out.

There is also drama hinted at in the trailer, including during a cast trip to a tropical locale where there is the hint that Lichy will be at her breaking point. “You’re trying to get everyone against me, it’s enough,” she said. Another clip showed De Silva saying, “Don’t confuse being a b**** with being honest.”

Cohen also teased the show on “Watch What Happens Live” on June 19 and said the WWHL staff saw the first 5 or 6 episodes and loved it. “They are beyond,” he gushed.

On June 24, 2023, photos of “Real Housewives of Miami” star Guerdy Abraira on a stretcher surfaced on social media.

The pictures were taken during the cast trip to Mexico City and were shared on the Queens of Bravo Instagram account. One day earlier, several cast members were photographed in La Condesa, a neighborhood in Mexico City.

“The boots are on the ground tonight in Mexico City with the #RHOM 👀 Sending Guerdy lots of [love],” read the post’s caption.

Additional details about what may have happened to Abraira are unknown. Heavy has reached out to Abraira for an update.

Here’s what you need to know:

‘Real Housewives of Miami’ Fans Reacted to the Photos on Social Media

In the photos supplied on Instagram, Abraira was seen covering her face while EMTs rolled the stretcher toward the ambulance. She was wearing a blue dress and heels and had her hair done, signifying that she was out with the cast, perhaps for dinner, when something happened.

Fans took to the comments section of the post to share their prayers and well-wishes for a speedy recovery.

“This breaks my heart, and I hate to see Guerdy in pain, but I love to see Dr. Nicole staying by her side like a true friend. Also would it be a true RHOM without 911 having to be called and/or someone receiving medical attention,” one person wrote.

“Guerdy was diagnosed with breast cancer and just had surgery to get the tumor taken out. I suspect she’s exhausted and dehydrated and possible pushing herself too fast. I hope she’s ok,” someone else speculated.

“I really hope that she’s alright and recovers quickly and that her health improves,” a third Instagram user added.

“We love you @guerdydesign !! Please know we are praying for your healing and recovery,” a fourth comment read.

Guerdy Abraira Was Diagnosed With Breast Cancer in March

In May 2023, Abraira revealed that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer.

“In March, I found out some news about my health. I was in St. Barts having the time of my life when my doctor called me with results following a regular mammogram checkup. I have breast cancer,” she shared in a candid Instagram post.

“It took me a while to process it all and this is why I took a break from social media last month as many noticed. Many of you reached out to check on me and I am thankful for your caring gestures,” she continued, going on to encourage people to get their regular “health checks.”

On June 1, 2023, Abraira revealed that she had undergone surgery to remove the breast tumor.

“Today was surgery and you know we came out on top it looks like. So we’ll see what happens and we’ll keep you posted as I get more developments with the results of the pathology stuff,” she said in a video message to her fans.

Although Abraira has been active on social media since, she has not given another health update since the beginning of June 2023.

Kyle Richards and Kathy Hilton reunited at a surprising location more than a year after their explosive cast trip to Aspen on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.”

In June 2023, the celebrity siblings seemingly buried the hatchet at Kemo Sabe, a western-wear shop and bar that was the site of one of Hilton’s meltdowns last season after she claimed Richards didn’t support the tequila brand she was invested in.

Richards and Hilton’s family members are in Aspen for the June 24 wedding of Kim Richards’ daughter, Whitney Davis and Luke Graham White. And while the estranged sisters were already filmed singing karaoke to the Sister Sledge song “We Are Family,” some fans were stunned that they also returned to Kemo Sabe.

Kathy Hilton Apologized to Kyle Richards at the Kemo Sabe Bar

On June 23, Richards and Hilton were caught in an Instagram video posted by Richards’ eldest daughter, Farrah Brittany. In the short clip, the two women were at Kemo Sabe, each holding a bottle of tequila while standing behind the bar. A tag on Hilton’s bottle said, “Kendall’s Tequila” while Richards’ was labeled “Kathy’s Tequila.”

Hilton then apologized to Richards as several family members, including her husband Rick Hilton, looked on. “I’m sorry! It wasn’t your fault,” she said to Richards. “It was not your fault.”

Richards replied, “Get the video! Get the video!” and noted that she had been across the room when the RHOBH tequila drama took place in early 2022.

“I know, I was just being sad…” Hilton replied.

Kathy Hilton Was Upset After Lisa Rinna Ordered Kendall Jenner’s 818 Tequila & Kyle Richards Didn’t Do Anything About It

The tequila drama dates back to January 2022, when the RHOBH cast stopped by Kemo Sabe and cast member Lisa Rinna ordered a rival tequila after Hilton had been promoting Casa Del Sol, the tequila brand that actress Eva Longoria launched in 2021 and that Hilton is invested in, according to Us Weekly.

After Rinna ordered a shot of 818 tequila, which she claimed is her “friend Kendall Jenner’s tequila,” Hilton became upset and was heard complaining about her co-star drinking the rival brand in front of her.  She also blamed her sister, who was the host of the Aspen trip.

“In front of me here right now and Kyle doesn’t do a  f***ing thing about it,” Hilton said. “I am  f***ing pissed off,” she added as she stormed out of the bar.

The tension over the tequila situation spawned later drama at an Aspen nightclub, although that was not caught on camera. By the end of the trip, Hilton and Richards’ relationship was strained and things got worse after filming the RHOBH season 12 reunion.

During the reunion taping, Hilton said she was angry at Richards, not Rinna, over the tequila order, because she felt her sister didn’t support her. Richards broke down in tears and said, “It was my fault like everything always f***ing is.”

While speaking on the “Two Ts in a Pod” podcast, Richards said she had always been supportive of her sister’s tequila promotion. “Before Aspen, she said, ‘We’ve invested in this tequila company. Do you care if I bring it to Aspen?’ And I said, ‘Not at all. send it to my house. We’ll mix drinks with it, I’ll put it out,’ and that’s exactly what we did,” Richards revealed on the podcast. “At the Kemo Sabe event, I didn’t even know the tequila was there. I didn’t even know it was on the bar. I knew nothing.”

Richards added that she was stunned when Hilton later claimed she was under the impression that the group shopping event at Kemo Sabe would be about her tequila. “When Rinna is ordering the tequila, I’m literally, I didn’t even hear her,” Richards added. “I was tying my dog’s leash up so she wouldn’t run around Kemo Sabe. I didn’t know any of this. So, when I saw that, I was like, ‘How does she expect me to know this?’”

“Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Dolores Catania and her ex-husband, Frank Catania, share two children, Frankie Catania, 24, and Gabrielle Catania, 27. During an appearance on the June 23 episode of the“Two Ts In A Pod” podcast, hosted by Tamra Judge and Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave, Frank Catania shared that he believed his son no longer wants to film for RHONJ. The father of two noted he stated that his youngest child was working for Teresa Giudice’s husband, Luis “Louie” Ruelas until the company closed in RHONJ season 13. During the RHONJ season 13 reunion, Dolores Catania said she did not want to speak about the situation. She stated that she was “very thankful for Louie” for hiring her son. She also said that Frankie Catania “got another job.”

While recording the “Two Ts In A Pod” episode, Frank Catania explained why his ex-wife was unwilling to speak about the situation regarding Ruelas and their son. He also suggested he was appreciative toward Ruelas for offering his son a job, as it gave him connections and experience.

“[Frankie Catania] loves his [new] job, he’s on Wall Street now with a great, great firm. He’s doing great and any mention of it on the show, obviously, will cast somewhat of a shadow on him at his job, so that’s why Dolores shut it down right away [at the reunion],” said the father of two.

The former lawyer also revealed that his son was worried about the situation with Ruelas being brought up on the show.

“When he heard that it was going to be talked about [on RHONJ], oh, it’s like talking him off the ledge for three days, when it’s really not bad,” said Frank Catania.

When Judge asked the father of two if his son enjoys filming RHONJ, he replied, “not anymore since his new job.”

“I think he’s done at this point. He stepped in s***, he stepped in s***, ladies, he did,” said the Bravo star.

Frankie Catania Spoke About Filming for RHONJ

During an October 2022 interview on the “Two Ts In A Pod” podcast, Frankie Catania spoke about filming for RHONJ. He noted that he began appearing in the series when he was 16 years old. He also stated that RHONJ fans have been receptive toward him.

“The way I treated it with my life, is that it was there but I never made my life, right it was my mom’s thing, so I just popped in and out and fortunately, people have taken a liking to me and I’m very lucky for that,” said Frankie Catania.

He also shared that he has a strong relationship with his parents, who divorced in 1998.

“They are like almost like both my best friends, of course I respect them like parents but the way we speak is, like, almost on a friend basis, they tell me what’s going on in their personal lives, so anytime anything is going on, I know what’s going on,” said the RHONJ personality.

Frankie Catania Weighed in on the Gorgas Decision to Not Go to Teresa Giudice’s Wedding

Frankie Catania weighed in on Giudice’s ongoing feud with her brother, Joe Gorga, and her sister-in-law Melissa Gorga during an October 2022 interview with Us Weekly. He stated that he was upset that the Gorgas did not attend Giudice and Ruelas’ August 2022 wedding ceremony.

“Teresa and Joe are very tight-knit, they grew up very tight-knit, so to see Joe not at the wedding was very upsetting. I mean people can decide for themselves what they think, in my opinion, I think their feelings are validated in different pockets of the situation, I totally understand, I think Joe is an amazing person, I think Teresa is an amazing person,” said the Sacred Heart University graduate.

“Real Housewives of New Jersey” stars Melissa and Joe Gorga gave fans an update on their eldest child. The Bravo stars posted photos to social media as their daughter, Antonia, graduated from high school.

Antonia was just 5 years old when the Gorgas joined the Bravo reality show back in 2011. When she was a teen, she told E! News she doesn’t really watch the show unless she’s on it. “She’s very unaffected by the show,” Melissa added. “She’s been on it since she’s five and it just doesn’t faze her, it really doesn’t.”

In previous seasons, fans watched as Antonia adjusted to a new high school after her family moved to a new school district. And now, that chapter of her life is closed.

While several fans commented on the sweet father-daughter moment, Melissa chimed in with, “Hold up!!! You never changed any diapers!!!! “

Antonia also shared her own post as she posed on the front porch of her family’s Franklin Lakes, New Jersey mansion. “Yea I just graduated high school🎓🤍,” she wrote.

“I can’t believe it. Daddy will always be there. ❤️,” Joe Gorga commented.

Antonia Gorga is Headed to the University of Delaware

The Gorga family previously revealed Antonia’s college plans. In May 2023, Melissa posted to Instagram with the news that Antonia will attend the University of Delaware in the fall of 2023. The school is located just a couple of hours away from the family’s home.

“And just like that…. SHE CHOSE @udelaware💙💛,” Melissa captioned the post, which included a photo of her daughter’s “bed party” that featured a ton of blue and gold University of Delaware gear. “I’m having so many emotions right now!” the RHONJ star added. “I am smiling, I am proud, I am crying. I am a hot mess!! Can’t wait for you to start this new chapter of your life.”

According to Bravo TV.com, Antonia also received acceptance to Rutgers University, Penn State University,  and the University of Rhode Island before deciding on the Delaware school.

While she has not officially revealed what she plans to study, Joe Gorga previously made it clear that he hoped his daughter would get into the family construction business.

In a RHONJ  clip posted by BravoTV.com, Joe asked his daughter, “Antonia what are you gonna do? The other day you were like you want to own a boutique, so what do you want to do?”

After a flashback showed her saying that she wants to “do the same thing mom’s doing,” the Gorga patriarch said,  “What, is your mother brainwashing you? You want to build buildings, make some big money, or you want to sell a shirt?”

On the “RHONJ Aftershow,” Joe said that while he respects his wife’s work at Envy, the boutique she opened several years ago, he would rather Antonia carry on the family business.

“Do I want my daughter to be involved in my company that is a very large company, or a boutique?” he said. “And I’m not putting it down. I rather her take over the real estate end of the company with her brothers.”

Teresa Giudice used her podcast to set the record straight about the state of her marriage to Luis “Louie” Ruelas amid reports that the newly married couple’s relationship was on the rocks.

The “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star firmly denied the rumors in the June 21 episode of her podcast with Melissa Pfeister, “Namaste B$tches.” She said it was “not true” and explained, “There’s no such thing. I love and adore him so much. No, there’s nothing shaky. Maybe we shake together when we dance,” she laughed, “But that’s about it, that’s the only time we’re doing any shaking.”

Pfeister told the RHONJ star that there was speculation about Giudice and Ruelas using fake stories about drama in their marriage to create a storyline for the show but Giudice denied it. “I don’t play like that,” she said. “I play what’s really going on in my life. And I don’t wanna say that [my marriage is in trouble]. Because I’m not gonna put that out there. I don’t need a story line like that. I have a lot going on in my life.”

Reports circulated about the RHONJ couple’s marriage in June 2023, including a report that an insider told Life & Style magazine that their marriage was “in trouble” and that Giudice was starting to see some “red flags,” Reality Blurb reported.

Giudice also shared during her podcast episode that she wasn’t allowed to discuss anything regarding RHONJ and the next season of the show. The 14th season of the show is not in production yet and there is no word on which cast members will be back and when filming will start.

“I don’t care what anybody else is doing on my cast, but we’re not allowed to speak about the show,” Giudice explained in her podcast. “I can’t speak about it right now, I just can’t.” She said she was looking forward to speaking about it again, including the contentious season 13 reunion, once she gets the green light to do so from Bravo.

“I like to follow the rules and I like to obey whatever my bosses say because that’s just what I do,” she added. In an interview with Extra, Giudice said she wasn’t sure if she’d be asked back for another season but that she “need[s] to come back” because she has four daughters, including one who’s going to law school.

Teresa Giudice Said That RHONJ Had Been the Only Hard Part of Her Marriage to Luis Ruelas So Far

Giudice and Ruelas spoke about their marriage in May 2023 and the RHONJ star asserted that the first year of their marriage had been great so far, with the “only hard thing” being the show. She told Us Weekly that the filming and airing of the Bravo show had been difficult because Ruelas wasn’t used to it. She said, “I feel bad that I had to put him through that.”

Ruelas agreed with his wife that their marriage was great. “Real life for us has been amazing,” he said at the time. “Waking up with your partner [is nice].”

Singer said she doesn’t watch Bravo and hasn’t seen many of the network’s shows. “I’m really happy for everyone and I really appreciate the community,” she acknowledged.

Former “Real Housewives of New York City” star Bethenny Frankel commented on rumors that she traveled to Saint Barthélemy for the upcoming Peacock series, “Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: RHONY Legacy,” which will featured Luann de Lesseps, Kelly Bensimon, Dorinda Medley, Ramona Singer, Sonja Morgan, and Kristen Taekman, during the June 21 episode of her podcast, “ReWives with Bethenny Frankel.” While recording the podcast episode, Frankel noted Bravo-focus blogs reported that she appeared to be in a video near Singer on a plane headed to St. Barts for the show.

She stated that the rumors were untrue but decided to not “correct immediately … because [she] wanted to see how far this stupid thing could go when people just don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story.” She also stated she “thought it was really funny to be reading about this.”

Frankel clarified that she appreciated RHONY fans’ devotion to her, even though she only appeared on the Bravo series for eight seasons.

“I did not go to St. Barts. And I think it’s so funny — I’m so flattered by the way, I’m so flattered that I’m still part of this conversation like I really, really am,” said Frankel. “I have to thank you all and people that write this stuff that really want me to be there that I’m just actually genuinely flattered. Like, thank you for — I was only there – I’ve been there I think for fewer than half the seasons that it’s existed. And I love that I’m someone that people really just think as a part of it.”

Bethenny Frankel Spoke About Sonja Morgan & Luann de Lesseps’ New Show

Frankel shared her thoughts about Morgan and de Lesseps’ upcoming series, “Luann & Sonja: Welcome to Crappie Lake” on the May 23 episode of “Rewives.” She stated that she was interested in the concept of the show when it was originally announced. The former RHONJ personality suggested, however, that she had mixed feelings about the series after watching its trailer.

“I don’t know what I think, I kind of wasn’t laughing, but wanted to be,” said Frankel.

She explained that while she believes Morgan will excel in the series, she has some reservations about de Lesseps because “she’s really not funny intentionally.”

“I don’t see Luann in this role in a weird way,” said Frankel.

She clarified that she hopes the show is successful.

Luann de Lesseps Shared Information About Her Upcoming Series

De Lesseps shared information about “Luann & Sonja: Welcome to Crappie Lake” on a December 2022 episode of the “Behind the Velvet Rope” podcast. The RHONY personality noted that she and Morgan traveled to Benton, Illinois, to assist members of the town for the series. She stated that she and her castmate were used to the environment because they both “grew up in” small towns. She clarified that she and Morgan “have a certain lifestyle in New York City so to go back into a small town was really interesting.”

“I feel like I can hang with the best of them and I can hang with everyday people and that’s – you know, I have a big family and they’re all really cool, laid back, you know, normal people, let’s call it, who aren’t reality TV stars and, you know, so I loved it,” said de Lesseps.

The cabaret singer also stated that she and Morgan were “really connected with the locals.”

“You’ll see a totally different side of Sonja and I in this show. And it’s very comical, and so it’s a good time so I’m super, super stoked about that and for people to see me in a different light,” said de Lesseps.

Fans are reacting to a photo of former “Real Housewives of New York” star Aviva Drescher.

Back in April 2023, the former reality star took to her Instagram feed to share a new picture of herself. The post was meant to plug a supplement that Drescher says really works for a plethora of health-related issues from weight loss to clear skin.

“If you want to lose weight, feel more energetic, have better skin, and learn how to optimize your health with food and exercise and incredible supplements @drdarylgioffre @getoffyouracid is your go to! I can read 100 books on health ( that all give different information about every food and supplement ) and I always find the answers with @drdarylgioffre! He is the real deal!!!!!!!!!” Drescher caption the post.

In the comments section, fans reacted to Drescher’s look at 52.

Many Fans Told Aviva Drescher That She Looks ‘Great’ & Several Hoped She’d Make an Appearance on ‘Legacy

Drescher is not very active on social media and has only uploaded two posts to Instagram in 2023, the first of which was in February. Prior to that, Drescher hadn’t uploaded anything to the platform since July 2022.

Due to her lack of public visibility, Drescher’s latest photo received a great deal of feedback from fans, many of whom couldn’t believe how great she looks these days.

“You look amazing,” one person commented.

“You look wonderful,” someone else wrote.

When someone else commented that Drescher looked “fabulous,” she thanked them in reply and added that it was courtesy of the “lighting.” 

“I need to know if you’ll be making a secret appearance on RHONY girls trip,” a fourth Instagram user said.

Aviva Drescher Was on RHONY for 2 Seasons & Now Lives in Miami

Drescher joined the cast of “The Real Housewives of New York” as a full-time star for seasons 5 and 6.

In 2014, Drescher made headlines when she took off her prosthetic leg and threw it. “You know, there were three shrews attacking me and I wanted them to shut the f*** up and I figured if I slam my leg on the table, that will work. And it did,” Drescher told Bravo’s The Daily Dish of her decision to throw her leg.

When asked if she felt embarassed by her actions, she said she did not.

“From an early age, I threw the emotion of embarrassment away. Being a six-year-old and walking into school with crutches and a stump, you don’t have room to be embarrassed. I was trying to make a point. I was being attacked all season. I mean, I’m not complaining about it. But they were grating on my nerves and questioning my truth about a health issue. I was overwhelmed by people’s reactions. Lay people, I guess, don’t really see prosthetic limbs every day. And they certainly don’t see them flying across the room of a four star restaurant,” she said.

A short while later, E! News confirmed that Drescher had been fired by Bravo, though the decision wasn’t necessarily related to the limb toss. According to the report, Drescher stopped participating in cast events leaving production little choice.

In the time since, Drescher has moved to Miami where she currently resides.

Kyle Richards and her sisters reunited in Aspen, but it wasn’t for a “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” cast trip. The Bravo star and her sisters Kim Richards and Kathy Hilton gathered with the rest of their family in Aspen, Colorado for the weekend wedding of Kim’s daughter, Whitney Davis.

Whitney, who is the daughter of Kim and her former husband Gregg Davis, is set to wed Luke Graham White on June 24, 2023. The famous family got the festivities started early with a karaoke party at Kyle’s house in Aspen.

Kyle Richards Shared a Video of Her Sisters Singing “We Are Family” Together

In a video posted to Instagram on June 23, 2023, Kyle and her sisters were seen singing the Sister Sledge song “We Are Family” as a karaoke machine played. The celebrity sisters were joined by their daughters and other family members at the pre-wedding sing-a-long.

Kim, Kyle, and Kathy were front and center as they performed the 1979 disco hit. Kyle and Kathy wore long dresses while Kim rocked black jeans and boots for the family party. Kyle’s daughters Portia, Farrah, and more family members could also be seen singing in the video.

“Pre wedding celebration with my sisters and our offspring 👯‍♀️,” Kyle captioned the video clip.

“Such a beautiful night with ‘Our Family’ !!! We love you [Whitney Davis] and Luke White],” added Kathy.

When another fan wrote, “It’s really nice to see all you sisters together.. .family first,” Kathy Hilton replied with a heart and praying hands emoji.

“The family that sings together…,” another commenter wrote.

“Family always finds its way back, this is nice to see,”  added another fan.

Kyle Richards Said She Hoped Her Sisters Would Eventually Come Back Together

Kyle and Kathy have been in a bad place ever since filming a tense RHOBH cast trip to Aspen in early 2022.  At the time, co-star Lisa Rinna accused the Hilton matriarch of trash-talking her sister Kyle. By the time the RHOBH season 12 reunion was over, the sisters were not on speaking terms.

While speaking with E! News in May 2023, Kyle admitted that things were still “not great” between her and her older sister Kathy, even though she saw her at their niece Whitney’s bridal shower and briefly spoke to her. “But we’re family, we’re blood. We’ll always come back together,” she added.

Kyle also expressed hope that things would improve in time for her niece’s wedding day in June. “It’s my niece’s special day and she’s going to be getting married, and we’re all going to be together there,” she said. “We’ll be, of course, civil and nice and hopefully, one day, be back to normal again.”

Earlier this year, Kim Richards also spoke about the feud, telling “Access Hollywood,” “I would like on camera, off camera I’d like to see my sisters come together and try to heal.”

“It’s a great time,” the mother of the bride added. “We have babies coming, babies born, and weddings coming up. My daughter Whitney’s getting married and [Kyle’s] daughter (Farrah) is getting married and I think this would be a fun time for us all to be together.”

A Real Housewives star is being called out for her comments about Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss’ headline-making cheating scandal on “Vanderpump Rules.”

In a June 2023 interview on “The Factz” podcast, “Real Housewives of Orange County” alum Vicki Gunvalson said she doesn’t understand the fascination with the story and she noted that Sandoval wasn’t married to Ariana Madix, his longtime girlfriend who was close friends with his mistress.

The Bravo OG also speculated that the scandal was drummed up for ratings.

Here’s what you need to know:

Vicki Gunvalson Thinks the “Vanderpump Rules” Scandal Was Staged

BravoVicki Gunvalson.

While speaking with “Factz” host Nik Richie, Gunvalson said she does not care about the “Vanderpump Rules” scandal that has rocked the nation since March 2023. “I do not,” Gunvalson said. “Everybody has an affair, and I don’t really care. They weren’t married. They knew what they were getting into… I think it’s all publicity… 100 percent [staged].”

The Bravo veteran also claimed the “kids” on the reality show have no other skills. “Do they work outside of the show?” she asked. “I always worked outside the show because when the show was canceled, I had my career.”

Fans reacted to an Instagram post about Gunvalson’s comments.

“People cheat all the time? She sounds bitter,” one commenter wrote.

“If half of my ex’s used me for 💰 with one even faking cancer I guess I’d sound like a bitter ex-housewife too 😳,”  another agreed.

“She would know. She staged a cancer scandal. She’s an expert at fake storylines,”  a third chimed in.

“She helped Brooks fake cancer. projection much?” another wrote.

In 2015, Gunvalson’s ex-boyfriend Brooks Ayers was involved in a scandal after admitting he forged medical records relating to his cancer diagnosis. The cancer storyline was addressed on RHOC, with some accusing Ayers of faking his cancer diagnosis altogether. In a statement to People, Ayers said, “Vicki was not ‘in on any cancer scam or created storyline.’ There is no scam.”

“Vanderpump Rules” Stars Have Said Scandoval Was Not Staged

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

In March 2023, Sandoval and Leviss were caught having an affair. The fling had been going on behind Madix’s back for seven months. The aftermath of the affair took place as season 10 of “Vanderpump Rules” had just started airing, resulting in huge ratings for the Bravo reality show.

During a May 2023 episode of the “Give Them Lala” podcast, cast member Lala Kent blasted the idea that the affair storyline was set up. “When people say that this is staged, this it’s not staged,” she said. “This is not a staged thing. Ariana didn’t sit with a producer and go ‘Yeah, I’m okay with my life blowing up for ratings.’”

In an interview on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, Madix also denied that the story was staged and defended the decision to rush to film the fallout in real time after production on season 10 had already wrapped. “They had to borrow a crew from Housewives of Beverly Hills to even film after,” she said. “That is a nightmare for production and for our show because everything that’s going to happen, you want to happen in real-time while we’re filming.  …If something happens off-camera, that’s not ideal.”

A Bravo source also told The New York Post that the storyline was not staged, but that there were rumors about Sandoval and Leviss’ affair during filming.

Fans Had a Lot to Say About Bethenny Frankel’s Video & the RHONY Alum Replied to Many Critics

Many fans commented on Frankel’s video and laughed at her take, with some suggesting what she might have to do for her huge ring. However, she received a lot of criticism from others, including one person who wrote, “Money Talks……Wealth Whispers. Eeek.”

Frankel replied, “It does… not on social media. This culture celebrates multi million dollar weddings in the south of France disguised as quiet. What a scam. Lol maybe you should do some charity work…. ❤️❤️❤️ thanks for engaging as it is an ENGAGEMENT post!”

One person wrote that it was, “Such a gross post.” Someone called the Bravo star a “show off” while another wrote, “Too big! Looks fake as f! Not classy at all!” One commenter wrote that while they love Frankel, the video gave them “a little ick” and was “too braggy.”

The person added that it also wasn’t safe to flaunt her wealth, pointing out that after Kim Kardashian was robbed, one of the people involved said the star was too “showy,” as the New York Post reported. “It’s in a vault. It’s called humor. Get a sense of it,” Frankel replied.

Bethenny Frankel & Paul Bernon Met in 2018 & Got Engaged in February 2021

Former “Real Housewives” star Monique Samuels has filed for divorce from her husband, Chris, according to Page Six. The report indicates that court documents were filed in Montgomery County Family Court in Maryland back in April 2023.

Monique Samuels starred on “The Real Housewives of Potomac” from season 2 through season 5 before quitting the show.

People magazine previously reported that she and her husband had separated in October 2022. However, Monique and Chris denied the report in a YouTube video.

“It’s no secret that Chris and I have been struggling in some areas of our marriage and anybody who watched Love & Marriage: D.C. last year, y’all saw the arguments, y’all saw everything that was going on,” she said in the video, adding that the reports of their separation were absolutely not true.

Monique and Chris Samuels were married for 11 years and have three children together. Neither has released a statement about the divorce filing.

Here’s what you need to know:

Fans Reacted to Monique Samuels’ Divorce on Social Media

Shortly after news outlets reported that Monique Samuels had filed for divorce, dozens of fans took to Reddit to react.

“I knew this was coming after they ‘leaked’ during bravocon that they were divorcing for the attention. Where there’s smoke….” one Redditor commented on a thread about the divorce.

“Not a fan of Monique anymore but I am sad for their family. Hate to see families break apart like this and they have 3 children who are very young. Hope they have an amicable divorce and coparent situation,” someone else wrote.

“Just watched a scene from that Love and Marriage show where Monique and Chris are discussing him working on himself and their marriage and he says to Monique ‘Be patient with me. Hang in there, it’s worth it’ and she legit rolls her eyes and laughs in his face and says ‘worth it to who?’ The writing was on the wall. She did not like him,” a third comment read.

“Bravo is calling her as we speak. Divorces always make for ‘good’ TV,” a fourth person said.

Monique Samuels Joined the Cast of ‘Love & Marriage: D.C.’

Monique Samuels made the decision to part ways with the “Housewives” franchise because she felt that the editing wasn’t fair. She even called the show “toxic.”

After leaving “The Real Housewives of Potomac,” however, Monique Samuels decided to join the cast of “Love & Marriage: D.C.” She said that she felt that the show was a better fit for her life.

“Because it’s real. It’s actually what I feel was meant for me — love and marriage,” Monique Samuels told Us Weekly in 2022. “That was my reason for coming to reality TV. The platform that I was previously on — it didn’t really fit with that dynamic,” she explained.

In July 2022, Monique Samuels credited RHOP with saving her marriage, though she said she wouldn’t go back, in an interview with Entertainment Tonight.

“The overall experience was great. Filming the show, there wasn’t anything that was contrived. Production, they just were a fly on the wall. That was very nice. I don’t think there will ever be a moment in reality TV where a person on reality TV does not always love their edit. We all complain about it,” she said.

In an interview with Howard Stern on June 14, 2023, Andy Cohen talked about his new book, “The Daddy Diaries” and shared some insight into some of the things he had written.

At one point, Stern asked Cohen why he called “Real Housewives of New York” star Sonja Morgan the “most outrageous Housewife.”

“I mean, she’s wild,” Cohen said on “The Howard Stern Show” on SiriusXM. He went on to explain that the women cast on the various franchises are very real and they act the same way whether the cameras are rolling or not.

“People always say, what are the Housewives like in real life? And I say, if you run into a Housewife in the wild, they will be exactly as they appear on the show. I mean, you know, Ramona Singer lives in, I think, in your radius out east, and if you ever ran into her, Beth [Stern’s wife] would probably say ‘Wow!'” Cohen continued, explaining that Singer “is how she is.”

Here’s what you need to know:

Sonja Morgan Will Be on ‘Crappie Lake’ & ‘RHONY Legacy: Ultimate Girls Trip’

Morgan starred on “The Real Housewives of New York” for 10 seasons, joining as a full-time cast member in season 3. After the show was completely recast for season 14, Morgan was offered a spot on the “Legacy” version of the show, which got some of the OG cast members together for a week in St. Barts.

The women, including Singer and Dorinda Medley, has already filmed. According to TMZ, the ladies were each paid $250,000 to do the show.

In addition, Morgan has also been cast in another spinoff of sorts alongside RHONY’s Luann de Lesseps.

“The Benton City Council surprises the town residents by inviting ‘Real Housewives’ icons Luann de Lesseps and Sonja Morgan to help spruce up their small town that was devastated by the pandemic, which has a population just shy of 7,000,” reads Bravo’s description of “Luann & Sonja: Welcome to Crappie Lake.”

The show is set to premiere on July 9, 2023, on Bravo.

Andy Cohen Is a Fan of Sonja Morgan

Despite thinking that Morgan is “wild,” he seems to be a fan of hers. In fact, he’s really excited about her new spinoff with pal Luann de Lesseps.

“When you see Luann and Sonja at Crappie Lake. Guys, I’m not overselling this show, and I have nothing to do with it. I didn’t produce it, it wasn’t my idea. I watched it as a fan, just like you. It’s so funny,” Cohen said on an episode of his SiriusXM radio show in May 2023.

However, there’s one thing that Morgan did in the past that Cohen isn’t a huge fan of: “Tipsy Girl.” In a 2017 interview with People magazine and Entertainment Weekly’s Editorial Director Jess Cagle, Cohen called it the “most absurd” business venture.

Morgan’s liquor brand didn’t take off the way her former co-star Bethenny Frankel’s Skinny Girl did — and the name alone caused quite a bit of tension. They managed to work things out, however, which Frankel shared on the “Watch What Happens Live After Show” in April 2017.

“Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Danielle Cabral began starring on the show during its thirteenth season, which premiered in 2023. According to Reality Blurb, Cabral shared she may not want to be an RHONJ season 14 cast member during the June 13 “RHONJ After Show” episode. Cabral explained that she found filming season 13 difficult and would “have to really think about” staying on the series. She stated that “there’s probably like a 20 percent chance” that she would turn down an offer to star on RHONJ season 14 because of the issues she had with her season 13 co-stars.

“15, 20 percent chance … I don’t know it was a lot. You’re asking me the truth, how it was, it was very difficult for me. I was never put in situations like that. Not — I was a kid in high school when I dealt with s*** like this. It goes against everything I stand for as a person, as a human, as a woman … trying to destroy another woman,” said the 37-year-old.

The mother of two clarified that she felt like she was “the one getting destroyed” by her castmates during season 13.

“So it takes a lot,” continued Cabral.

While speaking to Access Hollywood’s Housewives Nightcap in May 2023, Cabral stated that she did not believe all of her RHONJ season 13 co-stars will be on the season 14 cast.

“I don’t because nobody wants to see the same show we filmed and that’s what would happen. We’d fall right back into that,” said Cabral.

The mother of two also referenced Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga’s ongoing feud. She suggested that she did not believe the sisters-in-law will be able to film another season together.

“I think there’s massive changes that have to happen. You know, if they want to work it out, it is what it is,” said Cabral. “I know that a lot of us can all get into the room right now and go — but we want — I can’t go back into that same environment, just can’t. Sucks the life out of the room.”

Danielle Cabral Spoke About Talking to Melissa Gorga About the Rumor

In RHONJ season 13, episode 10, Jennifer Aydin told Cabral that she and Giudice heard a rumor from Margaret Josephs’ friend, Laura, that Gorga was caught kissing an unnamed man. When Cabral told Aydin she wanted to discuss the claim with Gorga, the mother of five implored her not to tell the “On Display” singer in season 13, episode 15. Aydin claimed that she wanted to let Gorga know about the rumor, but refrained from doing so because she did not “want to hurt [Gorga’s] family.”

However, during the season 13 reunion, Aydin revealed she had spoken to Gorga about the rumor months before RHONJ season 13 started filming. Upon finding out this information, Cabral asserted that she did not “feel set up” by Giudice or Aydin to discuss the rumor while filming the RHONJ season 13 finale. However, in a private moment with her husband, Nate Cabral, the RHONJ star said her castmates “set [her] up.”

Cabral spoke about the situation during the Access Hollywood’s Housewives Nightcap interview. She asserted that she decided to tell Gorga about the rumor of her own volition. She explained she brought up the rumor to Gorga because Aydin had mentioned it “on camera” when they “talked about it in Ireland.” Cabral stated that she wanted to offer the mother of three “a chance to say that’s not true.”

“That’s where my mind was at. It was already brought out on camera, let her deny it. And I make my own decisions. Jen and Teresa, I love them but they don’t put any influence on me to do anything I don’t want to do,” said Cabral.

Jennifer Aydin Discussed the Rumor in June 2023

During a June 15 interview with MarTEAni Time, Aydin clarified that she did not believe the rumor that Melissa Gorga cheated on her husband, Joe Gorga, was true. She also claimed that Josephs was the original source of the rumor.

“I don’t think [Laura] is lying. That’s not to say that I think [the rumor is] true. I believe that Margaret for whatever reason, either was gossiping or maybe with a game of telephone, embellishing some kind of story, whatever the case may be — it came from Margaret,” said Aydin.

Kyle Richards has another Bravo star in her corner.

After “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star posted a series of “Life Lately” photos to her Instagram page, several followers commented negatively on her recent weight loss, with some continuing to accuse her of using the diabetes drug Ozempic to shed pounds.

But a star from another Real Housewives franchise came to Richards’ defense.

Chanel Ayan Clapped Back at a Commenter on Kyle Richards’ Page

In June 2023, Richards posted a slideshow of photos to show fans what she has been up to lately. The first photo featured her wearing a metallic jacket and lacy bra top. Other photos showed the mom of four working out, getting styled by a glam squad, and posing with singer Shania Twain as well as pals Morgan Wade and Justin Sylvester.

“You truly are in your hot girl summer era,” one fan wrote. “Looking hot,”  agreed “Real Housewives of Dubai” star Chanel Ayan.

But Ayan’s comment spawned a response from a critic who accused Richards of using weight loss drugs to achieve her toned body. Richards replied to the critic with, “I have never tried Ozempic or any of those medicines so stop spreading lies. You don’t know me.”

“I’m sorry but you don’t get muscles from that so kindly 🖕🏼,” Richards added, along with a middle finger emoji.

Ayan also replied to the comment in defense of  Richards. “Have you seen her muscles,” Ayan wrote of the RHOBH veteran. “She works out very hard. Nothing gives you that tight body. Please don’t talk on things you have no idea about and you don’t know her personally so say something kind or don’t.”

Richards has long maintained that she revamped her diet and cut out all alcohol in July 2022 and has since added weights to her workouts. In June 2023, she told E! News she thinks it’s strange how obsessed people are about her weight loss. “They act like I’ve lost 150 pounds,” she said. “I think I’m actually 12 pounds less than I was.”

Richards revealed that she gained muscle mass from lifting weights in addition to doing the cardio exercise that she has always done.

While Richards found support from Ayan and other Real Housewives stars such as Crystal Kung-Minkoff, who wrote “You look so beautiful” in the comment section, there are still some skeptics who think she took the easy way out.

According to Us Weekly, “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Melissa Gorga told podcast host Jeff Lewis she initially suspected Richards jumped on the Ozempic bandwagon. “I’m not gonna lie, when I first saw her, I was like, ‘Ooh she’s taking that stuff,” Gorga told Lewis, before revealing that she was unsure if Richards took Ozempic.

Richards later revealed that Gorga told her she incorrectly assumed she was using the drug and then texted an apology to her.

And in an interview with Logo Spill in April 2023, former “Shahs of Sunset” Reza Farahan accused Richards of lying about her weight loss. “Sorry Kyle. You’re beautiful. The Ozempic is working, girl,” he said, before accusing the RHOBH veteran of “making deals with people.”

“I don’t care what she says,” he added. “We can say whatever we want to say. But she’s 50+.”

But Richards doubled down on her drug denial in a May 2023 interview with Page Six. “I can say that I have never tried it and I have never taken it,” she said. “I’m not on any weight loss drug. If you know me, you know I have terrible anxiety so that would scare me to death. I have never, ever ever taken it.”

The 6th season of “The Real Housewives of Miami” is currently in production and one of the stars reportedly returning, Dr. Nicole Martin, commented on rumors of some of the drama that went down during filming.

On June 18, the Instagram account The Real Housewives Zone posted the rumor that Larsa Pippen threw a drink at Martin during filming. “Tensions have boiled over during filming of The Real Housewives of Miami Season 6,” the account wrote. “A source close to production is reporting that Larsa Pippen was escorted out of a group event after ‘acting in a disruptive manner.’ Pippen allegedly threw her drink at her castmate Dr. Nicole Martin after a heated argument.”

Martin commented on the Instagram post and wrote, “Someone got baptized, but it wasn’t me 😂.” Martin appeared to hint that someone else was the one who got covered in a drink but didn’t give more details about it, although her co-star Adriana de Moura gave some more insight. The Instagram account Marteanis With Eddy posted a screenshot of Martin’s comment and asked in the caption, “So who got the drink all over them??” De Moura replied, “It was me 🤨.”

Dr. Nicole Martin & Larsa Pippen Have Clashed on RHOM on Several Occasions in the Past 2 Seasons

The report that Pippen and Martin are feuding will likely come as no surprise to RHOM fans as the two ladies have had their fair share of clashes in the past. Dr. Nicole Martin, who joined the cast in season 4, and returning OG star Pippen were at odds with each other during season 4 and at the reunion.

One notable instance saw Pippen make a shady comment about Martin having a child out of wedlock and Martin later said that it was a “really hard” comment for her to “get over.” The anesthesiologist told Page Six, “That was a really hard one for me to get over. [My son] Greyson’s the love of my life and for anyone to question his validity or, like, the circumstances under which he was created, to me, was really hurtful.” Martin shares her son, Greyson, with her fiancé Anthony Lopez.

During season 5, the rift between Martin and Pippen continued to grow as Pippen accused Martin of having slept her way through “the whole hospital,” which Dr. Nicole said was a “slanderous” accusation. Martin then uninvited Pippen from her engagement party by sending her a mirror with a poem that said, “Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the fakest one of all. Take a good look I see who you are, do you? See yourself uninvited to our engagement party.”

The Same Cast as Season 5 of RHOM Is Reported to Be Returning for Season 6, Which Will Air on Bravo

RHOM has seen a lot of success since the show was revived for season 4 in 2020, and after its 4th and 5th seasons aired on Peacock, the upcoming 6th season will premiere on Bravo first. According to Deadline, Martin and Pippen will both be back, along with the whole season 5 cast: Guerdy Abraira, Julia Lemigova, Lisa Hochstein and Alexia Nepola as main cast members, and Marysol Patton, Kiki Barth and De Moura appearing as friends.

The “Real Housewives of Miami” first aired three seasons between 2011 and 2013, but was followed by a 10-year hiatus. Several of its OG stars returned for season 4, including Patton, Nepola and Pippen, and they were joined by newbies such as Martin and Abraira. As seasons 4 and 5 aired, however, it became apparent that there was a bit of a divide between the OG cast members and the new stars.

Fans were left shocked by “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Kim Zolciak’s divorce from Kroy Biermann. However, it wasn’t just fans that were surprised by the filing.

On the June 11, 2023, episode of “Watch What Happens Live,” RHOA star Shereé Whitfield gave Andy Cohen a bit of an update on the situation, while admitting that she never expected Zolciak and Biermann to split.

“I am in touch with her, and I was shocked. I thought her and Kroy [were] gonna be forever. I’m really sad for them,” she said, adding, “She’s not doing well. No, she’s taking it really bad.”

Zolciak and Biermann got married in 2011 and have four children together. Biermann had also adopted Zolciak’s two older kids from a previous marriage, both of whom are adults now.

Here’s what you need to know:

Kim Zolciak & Kroy Biermann Have Not Publicly Addressed Their Split

Both Zolciak and Biermann have been silent on social media when it comes to their divorce proceedings. According to court documents obtained by Heavy, both parties are hoping for sole custody of the four minor children. In addition, sources have predicted that the divorce will be contentious.

“Everyone expects this divorce is going to get really bad because neither of them will give in,” a source told People magazine in May 2023.

Zolciak has been making changes to her social media accounts, by slowly deleting photos of her and Biermann. Then, she removed his last name from her Instagram handle, which is currently just “@kimzolciak.”

Meanwhile, a source told Entertainment Tonight that Zolciak and Biermann are still living together in Georgia.

Kim Zolciak Will Be on ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’ Season 15

In March 2023 — before Zolciak and Biermann filed divorce papers — Zolciak appeared in a sneak peek video of the upcoming season, confirming that she was returning to RHOA after leaving her full-time role in 2013.

In the video, Zolciak and Whitfield sing Zolciak’s hit, “Tardy for the Party.” Zolciak is only back as a guest, however, and won’t be in very many episodes of the season, which premiered on May 7, 2023.

On June 8, 2023, Zolciak shared a photo with some of her RHOA pals, including Whitfield, DeShawn Snow, and Lisa Wu. “See you soon,” Zolciak captioned the snap, adding a video camera emoji.

“Loving you back with the girls . You look great Kim,” wrote former RHOA star Porsha Williams in the comments section. Zolciak loved the support from her pal.

“Love you shugga!!” she wrote back to Williams.

“This is wonderful news!! I hope Nene, Porsha and you will be back FULL TIME because this cast is not doing anything,” a fan commented.

“Are you back on the show? If so I’m gonna start watching again,” another asked. Zolciak responded with two red heart emoji.

“Yessssss @kimzolciak This is good for you! I always felt you had some restrictions, even when you filmed tardy for the party. I feel like now you’ll be able to come back with no restrictions and just be free and get into the bag,” another comment read. Zolciak responded to this comment with the “100” emoji.

READ NEXT: Andy Cohen Says He ‘Apologized’ to RHONJ Star

Andy Cohen really wanted Jenna Lyons to join the “Real Housewives of New York” reboot, so much so that he got personally involved in bringing her on board.

Cohen has been involved in the “Real Housewives” franchise for as long as the show has been on the air. Although his role has changed over the years — he is currently an executive producer on all of the franchises — he has also had input when it comes to which women get cast on the show.

On the May 30, 2023, episode of the “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast, Cohen revealed that there was one “Real Housewives” star in particular that he really wanted to bring on and that he personally got involved with when it came to casting.

“Anything ‘Housewives,’ I am an executive producer of. Involved in casting. I watch every episode. I give notes on every episode,” he told podcast host Amanda Hirsch.

Here’s what you need to know:

Andy Cohen Went Above & Beyond to Get Jenna Lyons to Join RHONY

During his sit down with Hirsch, Cohen explained that some potential “Real Housewives” stars end up not inking deals with the network due to concerns that their husbands have. In fact, Cohen says that the main reason that some women don’t sign on is due to their husbands saying “no.”

When Hirsch asked Cohen if he tried to really convince any of the women to come onboard, he admitted, “some of them.”

“There were certain women of color that were just super important to the franchise, it was so meaningful to us to get them in, so those were times that I was in the meetings with people and calling them and saying, ‘what can we do’?” Cohen said.

“Usually I don’t get personally involved. There are some. Jenna Lyons, I got personally involved with,” he said, also name-checking Carole Radziwill.

Lyons is a fashion designer known for being associated with J.Crew. She left the company in 2017. She founded a company called Love Seen, which is a natural line of false eyelashes.

Lyons was born with Bloch-Sulzberger syndrome, which is “a genetic disorder that can cause skin scarring, loss of hair and malformed teeth,” according to ABC News. She has one son with her ex-husband, Vincent Mazeau.

Jenna Lyons Says Her RHONY Casting Happened by ‘Accident’

In October 2022, Cohen announced the cast of season 14 of RHONY at BravoCon. Sai De Silva, Ubah Hassan, Erin Dana Lichy, Jessel Taank, Brynn Whitfield, and Lyons have already filmed the first season (Lizzy Savetsky was also cast on the show but decided to bow out, per Variety).

After the announcement, Lyons opened up about how she wound up on the show.

“I was on a podcast, and somebody mentioned if I knew that there was gonna be a reboot and I didn’t. And they were like, ‘Would you ever do it?’ And I was like, ‘Sure,'” Lyons explained to E! News in December 2022.

“They did a little mock-up of me with Photoshop. And I, all of a sudden, was like, ‘Okay, maybe. Why not?’ And it sort of happened by accident,” she continued.

She went on to tell the outlet that filming the show has been “different” than what she expected, which she says is a “good thing.”

RHONY season 14 is set to premiere on July 16, 2023, on Bravo.

READ NEXT: Andy Cohen Says He ‘Apologized’ to RHONJ Star

“Real Housewives of Orange County” star Tamra Judge opened up about her issues with “Real Housewives of New Jersey” personality Teresa Giudice. While recording the June 20 episode of her podcast, “Two Ts In A Pod,” co-hosted by “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave, Judge acknowledged that she labeled Giudice as “the most overrated Housewife” on the June 7 episode of “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.” She clarified she has “always liked Teresa.” She stated, however, she was unhappy that Giudice “was going after [her]” because she shared her opinion about her husband, Luis “Louie” Ruelas on “Two Ts In A Pod.” Judge also said she disliked that Giudice made negative comments about her to her friend, former RHOBH star, Brandi Glanville, on the April 19 episode of her podcast, “Namaste B$tches.” While recording the episode of Giudice’s podcast, the RHONJ star sarcastically said Judge was a “nice f****** friend” to Glanville after she interviewed Caroline Manzo on “Two Ts In A Pod.” Page Six reported that there has been “allegations that [Glanville] inappropriately touched Caroline Manzo on ‘Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip'” season 4. 

“The thing that really pissed me off is she’s talking to one of my friends, Brandi, Brandi Glanville saying that I’m not loyal and that I’m a bad friend and all this stuff,” said Judge during the “Two Ts In A Pod” episode. “I’m like ‘what?’ Like no, you are crossing the line now, you’re not talking about something – if she went on the show and said ‘Tamra’s an a*****, [her husband] Eddie is stupid, or Eddie talked about sex too much,’ I would be like ‘she’s right, she’s right,’ but see, I have thick skin.”

Tamra Judge Revealed Why She Believes Teresa Giudice Is ‘Overrated’

While recording the June 20 “Two Ts In A Pod” episode, Judge stated that she still believes Giudice is “overrated.” 

“Do I think she’s the most overrated Housewife? Yeah, I think we’re all Housewives, we’re all good, some better than others,” said Judge. 

Arroyave agreed with her podcast co-host and suggested that she believed Giudice’s issues on RHONJ season 13 worsened her presence. 

“I think at one point she was an incredible Housewife, and I just think that this turn of events has really made it hard to watch. It’s made it very toxic, it’s made it very sad,” said the former RHOBH star. 

Judge also mentioned her “Watch What Happens Live” comment about Giudice during the June 12 “Two Ts In A Pod” episode. She explained that she believes the RHONJ star has been idealized “for so long.”

“I feel like there’s not really much movement on that show. It’s not like she’s out there doing amazing things in the world,” said Judge. 

Teresa Giudice Addressed Rumors She Was Leaving ‘Real Housewives of New Jersey’

Giudice addressed rumors that she would not be returning to RHONJ for its fourteenth season during a May 2023 interview with E! News, alongside Ruelas. She referenced that she began starring in the Bravo franchise during its first season, which premiered in 2009. 

“Honey, I started this show. I’m not going anywhere,” said the RHONJ personality. 

The mother of four also mentioned her ongoing feud with her brother, Joe Gorga, and his wife, Melissa Gorga. She stated that she was not interested in mending her relationship with the couple. 

“I wish them well and you know, I just got to focus on what’s right for our family, what’s right for me, it’s very stressful,” said Giudice. 

Alexia Umansky celebrated her 27^th birthday in a colorful way.

The daughter of  “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills”  star Kyle Richards threw it back to childhood with a “Color Wars” themed party in the backyard of her parents’ Encino home.

Here’s what you need to know:

Alexia Umansky Revealed Why She Wanted to Have a “Color Wars” Party for Her 27th Birthday

Alexia Umansky turned 27 years old on June 18, 2023.  The following day, she shared photos and videos from her birthday party on Instagram. The footage included a look at the “Buying Beverly Hills” star and her friends dressed in colorful outfits as they faced off against one another in team events.

Alexia wore red shorts, a rainbow-striped tank, and red-striped athletic socks and wristbands to her party. Her friends were dressed in all red, yellow, orange, blue, or green, depending on what “team” they were on.

A sign on a whiteboard revealed that the party was called “Alexia’s Color Wars” and featured tug of war, dodgeball, potato sack race, water balloon toss, bucket pong, and more games.

There was also some pool time, and later in the day, the partygoers enjoyed an outdoor movie night under the stars with a setup of plush couches and pillows on the lawn.

In the caption to her Instagram post, Alexia revealed why she decided to have a “Color Wars” birthday party.

“This year I wanted to celebrate by feeling purely child.,” she wrote. “I always say that when I think of the ‘face’ of my soul, I see 5th grade Alexia. Curly hair and glasses, tom-boy girl who loved to run around and get realll dirty. Before I ever cared what I looked like or social media… I wanted to celebrate 27 by honoring that feeling.”

“Seeing my friends show up in their team colors, compete with so much spirit, dancing, laughing, and swimming. It was so pure, beautiful and nostalgic,” she added. She also called it the “best day ever.”

Fans reacted to Alexia’s clever party theme.

“This is giving Disney Channel Games and I’m HERE for it 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻,” one fan wrote.

“Looks like an amazing & creative party,” another added.

Another fan asked what movie the guests watched, to which Alexia replied, “’Spider-Man Into the Spiderverse.’”

Alexia Umansky Still Lives at Her Parents’ House & Isn’t in a  Rush to Move Out

Alexia works for her dad’s real estate brokerage firm, The Agency, but she still lives at her parents’ home. In May 2023, the daughter of Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky posted a video of her parents’ magical backyard to Instagram and wrote, “I am frequently asked why I still live at home with my parents… well… damn, it’s hard to say goodbye.”

Her dad commented on the post to say he’s “thrilled” that she hasn’t left the next yet.

And her mom is happy about it too. According to BravoTV.com, after Alexia made the post about her living situation, Kyle Richards took to her Instagram story to write that she is “so grateful” that her daughter still lives at home.

READ NEXT: RHOBH Alum Reveals Why She Really Quit the Show

“Real Housewives of New Jersey” alum Kim DePaola, better known as Kim D., stated that she believes RHONJ stars Melissa Gorga and Luis “Louie” Ruelas are dishonest in the June 17 episode of the “Behind the Velvet Rope” podcast, hosted by David Yontef. During the podcast episode, Yontef asked his guest, who appeared on RHONJ for several seasons until 2018, if she believed Gorga “lies more” than Ruelas, who wed her sister-in-law, Teresa Giudice, in August 2022. 

“I think they are neck and neck. Neck and neck. Neck and neck. Listen — it’s one thing after another after another,” said DePaola. 

During the June 17 podcast episode, DePaola stated that she was “very confused” by Ruelas. She deemed Ruelas’ behavior as “so irrational” because of his decision to mention private investigator Bo Dietl on the show. As fans of RHONJ are aware, Ruelas claimed that Dietl “brought [him] information on each person in this group” during RHONJ season 13, episode 15. However, at the season 13 reunion, Ruelas stated that he made up the claim. 

“You are a grown a** man. Why can’t you hold s*** in? Why can’t you hold Bo Dietl’s name in? Why did you have to say it that night? Why did you have to say it the next day?” asked the former RHONJ star. 

Kim DePaola Criticized Melissa Gorga for Comment About Her Ex

DePaola criticized Gorga during the June 10 episode of “Behind the Velvet Rope.” She referenced that Giudice confronted her sister-in-law for saying she was going to “drunk dial [her] ex” during the cast’s trip to Ireland in the second part of the RHONJ season 13 reunion. Gorga asked Giudice if she thought she “was being serious” when she said the remark while inebriated. The “On Display” singer also asserted that her sister-in-law was “twisting something fun and light-hearted.” 

DePaola stated that she did not believe Gorga made the comment in jest. 

“I do not believe that when Melissa was drunk on the bus that she was kidding around. If I was Teresa, I would have said, ‘Listen to me, yes, I do believe that you have drunk text your ex and I do believe you weren’t kidding around,'” said the former RHONJ personality. 

 DePaola went on to say she believes there is “nothing funny about that.” 

“Listen, I wouldn’t say it because I don’t. Like that thought never occurred — drunk text my ex? What? You are married for 105 years, what are you talking about drunk text your ex. No, I call b*****. That wasn’t a girl thing, ‘oh I was out having fun.’ What’s fun about that?” continued DePaola. 

Andy Cohen Spoke About the RHONJ Season 13 Reunion

Gorga spoke about her experience shooting the RHONJ season 13 reunion, which was filmed on April 20, during a May 2023 episode of her podcast, “On Display with Melissa Gorga.” The mother of three, who was continually at odds with Giudice and Ruelas during the reunion, said  that one of her castmates made allegations that “sounded like they came from the sky.”

“There was a lot of deflecting going on where it’s like ‘wait this has nothing to do with anything that went on all season,” added Gorga. 

Bravo producer, Andy Cohen, who moderated the RHONJ season 13 reunion, shared his thoughts about the matter on the June 12 episode of the “Elvis Duran and the Morning Show.” 

“It is some of the most riveting television I have seen in a long time. It’s quite shocking,” said Cohen. 

The “Watch What Happens Live” host also addressed rumors that RHONJ has been put “on pause” following the season 13 reunion. 

“It’s not really on pause, that was a little blown up. We always take a minute between seasons and then suddenly it looked like we were in the middle of production and we shut the cameras down. All it is is we are taking a second between seasons,” said the father of two. 

The 55-year-old also stated that he believed viewers of the RHONJ season 13 reunion will understand why there has been a break from filming. 

“That was a bloodbath, let’s take a minute and let everyone catch their breath before we send cameras in. And that’s me saying something, typically you would send cameras in the next day, but it was too hot,” said Cohen. 

Garcelle Beauvais is the latest “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star to show off her svelte figure. Much of the cast, including Erika Jayne and Kyle Richards, have been toning up — a process that really took shape after season 12 wrapped.

On June 10, 2023, the official Bravo Twitter account shared a photo of Beauvais with her RHOBH bestie Sutton Stracke at the Pride Parade in West Hollywood. It didn’t take long for fans to notice Beauvais’ slimmed down figure as she sat on a Bentley convertible.

“Gracelle [sic] has slimmed down quite a bit. Ozempic?? Or healthy eating?” one Twitter user asked — and Beauvais actually replied. “Don’t even start with that ozempic thing I’m not playing with that!!!” she said.

Here’s what you need to know:

Garcelle Beauvais Isn’t the Only RHOBH Star Who Has Been Accused of Using Ozempic or Other Weight Loss Drugs to Lose Weight

Beauvais certainly isn’t the first RHOBH star to show off her recent weight loss and she isn’t the first to be accused of using weight loss drugs to slim down, either.

Most of 2023 has been filled with Bravo fans accusing Richards of using Ozempic or Mounjaro to lose weight. The drugs have been known to treat patients with diabetes and act as an appetite suppressant, which ultimately causes weight loss. Richards has vehemently denied using any drugs to lose weight and credits her slimmer figure with a strict diet and exercise routine.

“I can say that I have never tried it and I have never taken it,” Richards told Page Six in May 2023. “I’m not on any weight loss drug. If you know me, you know I have terrible anxiety so that would scare me to death. I have never, ever ever taken it,” she added.

Meanwhile, in March 2023, Erika Jayne shared a post of herself wearing a crushed velvet dress and the comments section quickly filled with many people assuming that she’s been using semaglutide to drop pounds. Two months later, Page Six reported that fans were showing concerns for Erika Jayne who appeared to lose even more weight in a new Instagram post. The reality star hasn’t confirmed nor denied using any weight loss drugs to assist in her weight loss, however.

Season 13 of ‘The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ Will Premiere in the Fall

The upcoming season of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” is set to look a bit different as a few cast members didn’t return after season 12. Fans will have to get used to not seeing Lisa Rinna on the show, as she announced her departure in January 2023. Additionally, both Diana Jenkins and Kathy Hilton did not film season 13.

On May 22, 2023, Beauvais took to Instagram to share that season 13 of RHOBH had wrapped. In an interview with Variety, the reality star said that fans can expect the new season to premiere on Bravo in November 2023.

“I’m hearing November is our release date. It’s back to fun and glamour and friendships. It’s not as toxic as it was. I think the last season was pretty hardcore on everybody,” she told the outlet.

The cast will include newcomer Annemarie Wiley as well as some guest appearances from former stars, including Kim Richards and Denise Richards.

Jenkins has been traveling ahead of her due date. She recently spent time in Mexico, and in late May 2023, she flew to Sarajevo, where she was born.

A source told People that Jenkins plans to give birth to her baby in London,  where her other children were all born.

In early 2023, Jenkins stepped back from “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” after filming just one season so she could focus on her high-risk pregnancy. “Due to many factors, this pregnancy is considered high risk and I am on doctor-advised bed rest,” she wrote in a statement to People in January 2023. “To that end, I am not able to devote myself fully to filming the next season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.”

The short-time RHOBH star promised to keep fans in the loop throughout her pregnancy journey, which she has done on social media. Not only has Jenkins shared ultrasound pics, but in April she posted a video of her “bulging belly.”

In June 2023, Jenkins, who is originally from Bosnia, listed her Hidden Hills, California mansion on the market for $20.5 million, according to Dirt. It is unclear where she plans to live following the birth of her baby girl.

Bethenny Frankel has been sharing her thoughts on many key storylines in the “Real Housewives” world, from former “Real Housewives of New York City” stars filming “RHUGT: RHONY Legacy” in St. Barts to Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann’s divorce.

On June 17, she sounded off about the major feud between siblings Teresa Giudice and Joe Gorga that has been playing out in the 13th season of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey.” Frankel shared some of her thoughts in an Instagram video and then expanded on her perspective in the June 19 episode of her podcast “ReWives,” where she was joined by another pair of celebrity siblings, Maksim and Val Chmerkovskiy of “Dancing With the Stars” fame.

Bethenny Frankel Said Melissa Gorga & Luis Ruelas Shouldn’t Be Involved in the Siblings’ Conversation

“My feeling is that whether it’s William and Harry or Teresa and Joe Gorga, the spouses have to stay out of it,” Frankel shared, in reference to the highly publicized rift between Prince William and Prince Harry. “The two siblings need to lock themselves in a room with the right person,” Frankel added.

Frankel said she thought Giudice and Gorga should focus on healing their sibling relationship separately from their spouses, Giudice’s husband Luis Ruelas and Gorga’s wife Melissa Gorga, both of whom have been publicly embroiled in the feud. “Who cares about Luis? Who cares about Melissa?” Frankel asked in her Instagram video. “Get them out of it. They shouldn’t be part of the conversation.”

Frankel said she didn’t want Gorga and Giudice to look back on their feud in the future and wish they’d “made up for lost time” earlier. “One day, God forbid someone has a health issue, something goes on with one of the kids, there are weddings, there are other things,” she said. “The two siblings need to work it out — not because blood is thicker than water, just because they’re family, and they love each other, and they’re going to regret it if they don’t do it now.”

Teresa Giudice & Joe Gorga Had an Explosive 13th Season of ‘The Real Housewives of New Jersey’

Frankel and Giudice were reported to have a feud a few years ago, and Andy Cohen asked Giudice on “Watch What Happens Live” back in 2018 about some “shady things” that she apparently tweeted about Frankel.

“OK, I think she’s a wonderful businesswoman. Very smart,” Giudice shared at the time, according to Bravo TV. “I really don’t know her to say more,” she added. By December 2022, however, it seemed that all was well between the two OG stars of their Housewives franchises, as Giudice commented on Frankel’s Instagram photos that she looked “amazing.”

“So good to see you [Bethenny],” Giudice added, prompting the Skinnygirl founder to reply with three heart emojis.

As for Giudice and her brother Joe Gorga, the two have had a rocky relationship in the past several years but the RHONJ season 13 reunion ended on a particularly sour note after months of feuding.

Viewers saw Giudice and Ruelas telling Gorga about a rumor that his wife was cheating on him during the 13th season, but Melissa Gorga categorically denied the claim. The resulting fallout caused the Gorgas to skip Giudice and Ruelas’ August 2022 nuptials.
