Listen up. Woo woo. Hannah McDonald. Juicy scoop. Hello and welcome to Juicy Scoop. Let's get into it. Well, it's a very busy time. I've had several parties to go to. I had my party here at my country club, and that was super fun. That was Thursday. Wednesday I went to Adam Carolla's Christmas party. Oh, my gosh. Then I took off on Friday because I had a party Saturday night in Laguna beach, and I chose to go to the Surf and Sand Resort, which is right on the water in Laguna Beach. I've been there many times in the past, but they've just completely redone it. So every room is stunning, the lobby is beautiful. And Shannon joined me, and we had, like, a sister weekend. And there was this one moment we were just enjoying our Rumbauer and Charcuterie board, which they brought for us. And we're out on the balcony, and this, like, seagull just came and, like, hung out for so long, and we just were convinced it was my parents. So it was just a really, really great time. Went to a really a fun party at my friend Amy's house and had, like, these dancers in a band, and. And it was just a. It was a really good time. I'll get more into it on what happened, because there's some crazy, funny stuff that happened on my Patreon, which you go to heather McDonald.net and join that Patreon. And then, still so much to come before Christmas. But there's a lot of very interesting news, and one being Ray J. Ray J from the infamous sex tape. Boyfriend at one time Kim Kardashian, brother of Brandy. He's a singer. He's been on a ton of reality shows. He recently got involved in a weird lawsuit or threatened lawsuit with Kim and Kris Jenner, accusing them of racketeering. It was very strange. Anyway, over the weekend, he posted on his Instagram, things got bad for me. I just need shelter and a little help. I know there is still good people out in this world. I promise I will repay you, but please, I'm in Tampa now, trying to get back to Los Angeles before Christmas to spend time with my family and kids. I'm in a cream jumpsuit with a red backpack. I'm at the Hard Rock Hotel at the moment. Can someone please help me? So first people are like, is this a joke? Is he having, like, a mental breakdown? Did something really happen where he was, like, robbed and he had. The only thing he had was his Instagram on his phone and no Apple Pay and nobody else to call. I saw this. I know his manager. I've had him on the show, and I'm like, there's no way that he wouldn't be helping out. Something's going on. So a couple days later, right before I recorded, we looked it up, and supposedly he is coming up with a TV show or he wants to do a TV show, which is like, I'm a celebrity. Could you. If I was stranded. If you took, like, a celebrity who's stranded, could the good people that follow them or whatever help get them home? And it's like hitchhiking with celebrity or whatever. And I don't think it's, like, a terrible idea. I just think it's too easy. I think, yeah, if I was stranded, I would immediately go to my Instagram and be like, I have nothing. I have no idea. All I have is my Instagram. I need somebody to come meet me at this hotel and help me out. And there is no doubt that I think that. That that could happen. And I don't know. Then cameras meet you. It's just a. It's kind of a weird idea. But it did get people thinking about it, and maybe that would be something kind of fun. I know they've had a. I think there was once a TV show that was like, could a regular person or a celebrity live on a very, very fixed income for a month? I don't think it was a celebrity. I think it was a regular person. Like, how could you get through on this? Little bit amount of money a day, eating, working on a job, you know, paying for everything from, like, toilet paper to whatever. I think that's sort of depressing. So I think this could be kind of fun, kind of funny. The people that would jump on it and be part of it and want to see if they could help or whatever. And now you're, like, staying at someone's house. It could be a little bit like a wife swap. I don't know. Anyway, it wasn't real. He's okay. It was to pitch a TV show. Okay. Also this weekend, Amy Schumer did announce that she is getting divorced from her husband of seven years, Chris Fisher. I believe they have one son. And there was talk in the last, like, year or so, especially since she had her physical transformation happen in which she had some medical issue happen where her face would kind of swell up. And she always had, like, a round, like, full face. She was able to figure out what that medical condition was. Plus, she lost a lot of weight and looks really different from what we know her to look like. And she looks great. And she seems very happy and she's showing off her long, lean legs and taking a lot of photos in this one staircase in her house that she likes that pose. Good for her. Now people were saying, no, they're, they're coming close to divorce. And then of course, people say, oh, once somebody gets skinny, they get out of the miserable marriage. Well, no one knows what goes on in someone's marriage. She did kind of a post like, we're separating, we're good, blah, blah, blah, drop, blah, blah, blah, we want our privacy, blah, blah, blah. Cause she knows you're not going to get your privacy. You're going to have people. Women want to always especially kind of speculate on what is going on in someone else's marriage and why it in fact broke up. I have never met Amy Schumer personally. Of course, I think she's hilarious and funny. I recall that she has revealed in her standup and whatnot that her husband does have autism and he was a chef and she like met him through friends. And then she had a, a scripted show that I think where she played a character but not herself, where it was based on their relationship. And, you know, this is what I'm guessing, I'm guessing that she probably had a very good prenup that he's probably very happy with what he'll walk away from. And I do think it was probably mutual. Marriage is hard. Seven years is a decent amount of time. The child is older and I think that they fell out of love. And feeling really great about yourself and your appearance and knowing that you're still young and if you're not in love with your partner, you're probably like, I want to, I don't. Is this all there is? I don't think so. So, you know, she even said like, oh, no, people are going to speculate, it's because I'm thin now or whatever. But I do think just feeling good about yourself in general, whether it's physical or success wise or mentally puts you in a place of being like, I want more, I want better. And that's what happened. So I'm excited for her journey. She should be happy. And she does look good. And I think she at the time may, may have really been in love with him, but may have somewhat settled and set or thought this, this was, you know, good enough. And then as time goes on and you mature as a woman and a mother, you're like, no, this isn't the partner I want for life. So hope that they co parent leveling together. Hope that does not get ugly. That's the worst part. Also, very unsurprising news, but again, I predicted it. I'm not the only predictor. It's hardly a Nostradamus prediction. Real House was a Salt Lake City Bronwyn and the horrible Todd are getting divorced. They definitely are separated. And I believe the latest report is no divorce is pending. It was rumored a couple days prior to the announcement that she announces it at the reunion, which was just filmed. So that's probably how it got out. She probably does say it in, like, a shocking, you know, oh. Moment for everybody. For those of you that don't watch the show, the relationship was an interesting one, and it was probably why she was chosen to be on the show. Because they know women love to watch other marriage dynamics, and especially when they're not good, because it makes you and your marriage feel better when you're watching from home and you turn on Bravo and you're like, at least I'm not married to. To Todd. And there's been a lot of awful Todd's lately. Todd is also the one that Candy is divorcing. And though he seems to be, like, a pretty good dad, we don't know what's going on with them in Atlanta and the prenup and everything. And there's supposedly some girlfriend they shared. I don't know if the girlfriend is with Katie or if the girlfriend is impregnated by Todd, but they did have the open marriage. Now going back to Salt Lake City, Bronwyn and her older husband Todd, and she said he was caught looking at lingerie, a woman in lingerie on a plane. And she saw it on, like, a tweet. This is what's interesting. In the show, we talked about how there was this moment where they're all flying back. Bronwyn was not on that flight. They're all flying back. And Meredith is furious at new girl Britney because Brittany showed everyone at TikTok on camera that someone was saying that Meredith's husband was. Seth was in a car with another woman, in an Uber with another woman. And so, of course, that pissed off Meredith. Now it's on the show. Now the season's talking about how we may have an open marriage or that he's cheating on me of. None of which is true. So, you know, she gets pissed and she's, you know, hitting her seat and acting crazy, and everyone's like, that was just so horrible in the plane. So that was like a. That's a big part of the season. So then Bronwyn goes and sits down with Whitney, who's also not happy with her husband Justin, because he insisted that her makeup line, Wild Rose, become another mlm and nobody wanted to get in the pyramid. And now they're broke. And they also had somewhat of, like, a open relationship or some type of, you know, like, interesting situation there. So they bond over that. And then Bronwyn goes, well, I'm sure you know what happened on the plane. And Whitney's like, yeah, I know. Isn't it awful that Meredith was, like, screaming at Brittany? And she's like, no, it's that this tweet came out saying that someone was behind Todd, her husband, in a plane, seeing that he was looking at women in lingerie. That was not Bronwyn. So we see that unfold. We see them her saying, you gots to go. And he stays at another place, and then he comes back completely just like. Like the. The mean grandpa. And up. Somebody showed me that, and I. I can't remember who put it on the Internet. It looks just like that old grumpy man. He's like, people have been horrified by the relationship from the moment they met at an ice cream shop. And she said, now, remember, don't eat my cherry. It's my favorite part of my Sunday. I don't want to eat at the end. And as she's trying to make conversation with this guy who it could not be more interested in her, he just took the cherry and was like. We also know that Lisa Barlow got mad at Bronwyn for bringing up all her lawsuits. And she said, oh, my God, Bronwyn, you are a gout dick sucker. And she's like, yes, my husband has gout. Yes, I do enjoy sucking his dick. That has nothing to do with the fact that Lisa has a lot of people suing her. So I. If someone said, oh, I wonder how Lisa feels now. I'm like, I think Lisa could honestly be. Somebody thought, oh, she's probably happy they're getting divorced. No, she's jealous they're getting divorced. She is jealous that now Bronwyn, who is becoming the new favorite, everyone is going to gain more respect for her, that she is leaving this awful man who's not into her. She's very articulate whether, you know, she's very likable. So she's become very likable. And. And now we get to see her be single and free. Her daughter will go off and go to college or be with her boyfriend. The mean mother is also leaving her home. And now the mean husband is going to be gone and we can just see Bronwyn just be with her weird furniture and her costumes by herself and just be happy and free. Now, I don't know how the two of them ever got together. They seemed like they had like no chemistry and it was very weird. I don't know if it was a transactional marriage. I don't know what the situation is. But since they're asking for their privacy and this is called Juicy Scoop, yes, I'm going to talk about your breakup now. I think she got pregnant when she was young. She was, you know, not supported by her parents. She met Todd when her daughter was seven or eight and she could relax and be financially taken care of very well and do her thing. And when the opportunity for the Real Housewives came up, like many of them in the past that have gotten divorced, this is it. It's either. It's really is a way to let women escape. It is a way. Real Housewives is a path for gold digging, transactional marriage type wives to get a career that's pretty fun. And you can still kind of be a little narcissistic and vain and stay in the limelight without having to work in a retail store and you can get divorced. That's what it is. And it is great for that. You gain sympathy from your fans who are also women, half of which might be married to someone who has gout, who farts while they make out with other women that eat your cherry, that don't pay attention to you, that collect coffee cups and that look like the character in the movie up there could be women sitting at home like that. And so they're going to cheer for you. They're going to be excited to see you at Bravicon. They're going to maybe have you sing, go to a show where you sing cabaret or do Sonia Cabaresque or whatever it is. They might be single supportive of your new single life. The thing is, is more and more like every housewife is single because they have this freedom to get away. And everybody is like, you're in a horrible marriage. Get away. Everyone that's sitting at home is like, oh my God, run for the hills. Now you can. You have an income. Get the out. She also said, bronwyn, I don't have a prenup. So does that mean she could take him to the cleaners or not? How well could she do in this situation? How can it be ugly? Because it's not like I feel like there was so little love in this marriage. I don't know that we'll see the kind of heartbreak that some of the other women that go through a divorce on camera through the housewife franchises has gone through where you really kind of feel their pain because at one time they were truly in love. This couple just never seemed to. And everyone's just very happy for her now. This was juicy. So they're in Greece and the cameras show Whitney and Heather together. And Whitney goes, do we have time to get water before we go to dinner? And Heather goes, I don't think we have time to get water. And they're in their room. So a lot of people are wondering, is this kind of like the Vanderpump? Which is. It's not about the pasta, which people thought they were arguing about. Lala eating DJ James Kennedy's girlfriend's pasta. And people said that wasn't about actual pasta, that was about cocaine. To this day I have heard it truly was about the pasta. And it really wasn't about the pasta. It was about being jealous of each other's girlfriend or boyfriends or being dicked to each other, whatever. It wasn't about cocaine. But we know that in the past, the old caste now, as Jax has admitted, had issues with cocaine use. Anyway, in this. So someone said, is this alluding to some type of drugs or doing something? Another person wrote, no, in Greece you have to go and like get bottles of water or purified water or whatever. They're in a hotel, they're on a TV show. Are you telling me that the crew doesn't have access to bottles of water? You're telling me that someone couldn't just go, you girls need water? Like, here's some fresh water. We're not going to make you walk down to the store while someone films you doing it. No, I think it was code for, can we talk? Can we have an off camera conversation between you and me to prepare for what we're going to talk about at dinner? That's what I think it was. I don't think they were trying to do drugs or actually go get water. That's my opinion. Pretty much. That's all that happened. Heather feels, you know, that still Meredith should be nicer to her. And she got her a little necklace and that was it. Okay, so then Jen Shaw has been released from prison. She came home, as, you know, she did an elderly, you know, and vulnerable people, financial scam. She started one prison, she got to the other prison in Texas where she hung out with Elizabeth Holmes. One drop and she got out early. So she gets out and we have speculated, should she go back on Real Housewives of Salt Lake City? Should, you know, or does she just do, like, villains or traitors or. Or Special Forces or something like that? And I thought, wow, I really think she could, you know, how is she going to handle it? I explained what I think that she could say to make herself come off better. Like, I really am changed. I got wrapped up in this thing. I didn't really realize the damage I did, whatever. But now I think she it up because she has already filed multiple lawsuits against the prison state of Texas. All these things because as her sentence continued to get reduced, which happens when you're not a violent criminal and when you're behaving well behind bars. She was supposed to get out, like, as early as mid August this year, and instead she got out December 10th because of that, she is suing the warden and the prison for somehow screwing her over. And I just want to say that's. If you're trying to stay in the public eye and bounce back from the fact that you are a convicted criminal of taking financial, you know, finance finances from older people, I just don't think suing the prison system because you might have been on. Maybe you were correct. Maybe she really should have gotten out August 10th and somehow they fucked it up. But to file the lawsuit, just tell it in a story, tell it in a podcast, say, you know, this is the kind of thing that even though I'm happy I got out earlier, I was supposed to even get out earlier than that. And, you know, we need to work on the prison system to make it better. Kind of like what Todd Chrisley did from Chrisley Knows Best. This isn't it. It just goes to show you that she hasn't changed, in my opinion, and that she's just a. She's just an awful person still. And so now I'm with Andy Cohen. No, I don't want to see you back on any housewife show. I don't want to see you on a road trip. Oh, road trip is definitely happening where they get in an rv. I don't know if a housewife drives it or pretends to drive it and go do different things. Supposedly, Nene Leakes is in talks to do it. I heard maybe Luann is. So I don't know if they're going to take, you know, a big og, like, popular person from each franchise and do it, or are they going to have several different road trips being filmed at the same time and they might not even be together or whatever, but all that stuff is good. I think they're trying to get away from the Ultimate Girls Trip franchise so that we stop asking for Morocco and the footage of Caroline Manzo allegedly being touched by Brandi Glanville that I think they want us to act like that that whole thing never happened. But we're going to keep asking. And speaking of lawsuits, I'm still looking to do the class action lawsuit for the fans of Bravo in which we will talk about how the emotional distress that we have endured, the sleepless nights, the hours and hours of conversation we've had with friends, on podcasts, on walks with our weighted vests about what went down between the two of them in the last four years and the fact that we never will get answers. And that's pretty traumatic. And like I said, I'm trying to get that class action lawsuit together for you guys. So, speaking of open marriages, Sheena Shay of Vanderpump rules of yesteryear, she opened up and said, I had a boyfriend who wanted to have a threesome with a guy while she's working at Vanderpump. But maybe before the show had started to air, she chose not to reveal it in her book. I don't know why, because she didn't want to embarrass him. But anyway, what's pretty crazy, she was completely down. She said that she walked around, she asked bartenders, she. She asked waiters, she asked all these guys, hey, want to have some fun tonight? And they all said yes. And she goes, okay, it'll be a threesome with myself and this person. And all the guys were like, no, I'll have fun with you. I'll do a one night stand with you, Sheena Shay, but not with that person. I. I don't know if she thought that by revealing it in the book that it was like they were like, no, I think most of these guys are straight. And a threesome does not mean another dude and high fiving each other while it happens, in my personal opinion. So, you know, she's. She's still got some secrets up her sleeve about her racy past, so good for her. You guys know I love my honey love. And now I want to tell you about the new cloud embrace bra.

Speaking of which, when people like their speculation like we talked about, when people are breaking up, I think this was a complete staged photo shoot. We See, Gwen Stefani, this is about a week ago, but I still had it. Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton are shutting down rumors is from TMZ without saying words. Stepping out for a grocery run and looking totally at ease together despite a wave of divorce rumors online. I don't believe that they grocery shop. And if they do it, they don't do it together when they're all dressed in like a pretty cute together outfit. I just think. And the fact that they go to a store and a TMZ person just happens to be there when they're shopping together, it's. It gives me Jennifer Gardner, the park from Coldwater Canyon, playing with her kids or the pal, whatever that park was, that she was always there, you know, brushing a hair from her, you know, tired mother head as she pushed her child in the swing. Like, come on, like you all that stuff, like, it's so stupid anyway, good for them. I don't even know they had trouble. And now I'm like, maybe you did have trouble and you had to shut down the rumors. Let's go grocery shopping. A much more believable thing would just be like, let's have a cute lunch outside at a cafe where an actual photographer might be across the street and could take a photo of us. Not let's go to Disneyland and be cuddling and I'm gonna lean up against you. And again, paparazzi just might be able to catch us, make it easy and make it believable for the people at home. Good for them, though. Hillary Baldwin got some news because of course, Hilaria, she's married to Alec. The accent is completely gone, which bums me out because my friend Anna Roisman does it great and she can still do it. But I'm saying the, you know, how do you say cucumber? You know, and now the baldwa. My little Baldonians. And all her stuff. It, she's literally just like this now. She just talks like that now. She's just like, well, you know, dancing with the stars was hard, but I like to work out and do yoga and so, I mean, she just sounds like a normal, like 40 year old woman. And it just is a bummer. Like, I just, I. I kind of liked the whole fake thing. I would be shocked if that show comes back. But shock me, she said that one time she sold a photo of her child for 95,000. I'm assuming that it was, you know, a deal that you do with like People magazine where they get the first look of your nursery or whatever. And I'm sure she's gonna say, I put that money into an account or whatever for the child. But, you know, people thought, oh, my God. I mean, the way they make it sound. You sold a photo of your baby. A lot of stars have done it over the years since magazines existed. So I don't know. That makes you, like, necessarily, necessarily a bad parent. Okay. Real Housewife of O.C. megan King Edmonds. This is sort of a surprising thing that happened, but maybe not so to remind you guys, she was on Real Houses OC she was a third wife to Jim Edmonds, who was a famed baseball player. They were on Real Houses OC And Vicki Gunvalson didn't like her because she was the one who discovered that Brooks was lying about cancer. And she's like, call me in five years when you're divorced. We're going to Mexico. And then in five years, they were divorced after they had a daughter and twin boys. And it became a pretty ugly divorce off the bat because he fell in love with a woman that she brought into the marriage for a threesome, like, fun time. I don't know if it was to celebrate his birthday. It's always like, the husband's birthday. Like I said, it's rarely a girl being like, you know what I would like? I'd like a threesome with, you know, two of your golf buddies, and you can sit in the corner and watch. It's like, that never happens. A woman, if that happens, it's because P. Diddy's asking for it. A woman's never asking for this woman is never saying, you know what? Let me see. What would I rather do? Have you surprised me? When? With a. A private jet to Napa and a beautiful romantic weekend, just the two of us. Or some chick is coming over and I have to make out and do with her. And then you get to screw her at the end. Yeah, that's what I want for my birthday. Never. Anyway, it happened. Maybe she was down. They fall in love and they get married. And it is bad from the start. They are fighting and everything. There's accusations going on both sides. And then. And then all of a sudden, there was an emergency restraining order and custodial, temporary custodial to Jim Edmonds and his wife Courtney. Because a nurse at the school said that Megan gave the nurse a medication for ADHD and said, give it to this twin, not the one that has the adhd. Give it to this twin. And she didn't have the. It was child, wasn't diagnosed with anything, didn't have the prescription and therefore it's the nurse's job to do the protocol which she called cps and I guess in the investigation within their situation, they both have lawyers and everything. According to the latest is this is to Page Six that she will only see the kids for a few weeks every summer in a new custody deal. That just seems really weird. Like, I don't know if this is it. I mean, you're telling me she doesn't get to have a weekend with them, she doesn't get to have a supervised visit, just a few weeks in the summer and then are you okay then dropping these kids off with their mother that they hadn't seen all year for a few weeks without a nanny or supervision? It's just a very strange and very, very sad all around. Whether it was a, a mistake or a misunderstanding. I, I'm shocked that it, that this was the result. And it makes me think there's probably a lot more we don't know and very sad. Meanwhile, Bethany Frankel is starting this dating app and she said her new thing is her new dating app is going to be like no other because there's going to be no ghosting, no games, and we're going to know about everybody and we're going to make sure that they are upfront. I don't understand how on an app you can know how someone's going to react in the relationship. Maybe I'm missing something here, but it seems like a pretty hard thing to guarantee that you'll never be ghosted, that you'll never like. Are. Are you saying you're. If you join this, you're signing a contract that no matter what, you're obliged to tell this person who you went on two dates with why you never want to see them again. So you're going to be like, yeah, you had bad breath. Hi, I, I signed a contract with Bethany Frankel and I never want to see you again. And part of that is I have to tell you I can't just like blow off your calls. So this is all the things that are wrong with you. Let me tell you. We always used to say when we were dating, oh my God, I wonder what happened. Was I, did I picked the wrong movie? Was I not attractive with, you know, did he find someone else? Did he go back to his ex girlfriend? Did I do something was irritating? You always wondered. And then the few times that I had a girlfriend where the guy sat him down and told him why, we were like, we would have rather wondered, like, I, you don't need to know everything you know. Mostly you can just find out by listening to your friend who started a podcast about why they broke up with you. Then you can find out why they don't like you anymore. But I don't know that I need to hear it alone on the phone. I think I'd rather just drive around in my car and listen to why someone is no longer into me. Okay. Real Housewife of Beverly Hills is very good. Again, lot of divorce is happening and a lot of things are being revealed. We'll start with Sutton. So Sutton and her husband got married in the Catholic Church, which is a big deal. You have to go through some preparation. You don't necessarily have to be a full practicing Catholic, but one of you does, and the other one has to comply. And, you know, and she would have gotten married around the same time I did. So when we got married, we had to take this eight hour class. We had to have a couple counsel us. We had to have a meeting with the priest, all of it. So then she had her kids, they went to Catholic school, some of them went to Catholic school throughout their education. And she reveals on the show that her husband, ex husband, got an annulment of their marriage. And it just like came in the mail. And she never had to. No one ever asked her about it. She never had to explain, you know, or if she wanted it as well. And the only reason that someone would go and seek to get their marriage annulled is so that then that way they could get married again in the Catholic Church. You cannot get married in the Catholic Church unless you're a widow, a widower, if you've already been married in it before or an element. And my understanding was always, an annulment is a very hard thing to get. You have to prove that there was some type of fraud or major deception or something like that. Like maybe if, like, your husband was gay the whole time and by year three, he comes out and you. And you really wanted to go through the process, probably that would work, something like that. Or they were, you know, an incredible cheater or gambler or had some, like, weird mental illness is very, very strange. The other part of that makes me wonder is like, was this just some type of financial gain or something? You know what? Stop. I'm going to this party this night. Maybe I shouldn't talk about this. I'm gonna. I'm just gonna cut it out. I'm just gonna. I'm just gonna make it really short and simple and go. I have more thoughts about this. Okay? So let me just go back to, I'll start right at Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Okay. Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is very good. We're on the second episode of this season and we're going to go through all the ladies because it's a lot of marriage and divorce and post divorce talk, which I find fascinating. This should just be the divorce episode. Sutton, who's been divorced for a few years, announces that her husband was able to get an annulment in the Catholic Church, which is very strange when you've been married for 17 years and have three kids because it's basically saying the marriage didn't happen. It's also giving him and her the ability to, if they ever wanted to get married again in the Catholic Church, they could because the first marriage is annulled. That's one very interesting thing about being a Catholic. But it is very strange and it's very unusual. And I want to, I'll talk more about what I think happened on my Patreon on Friday. Rachel Zoe is revealing a lot about her marriage and that she just loves not parenting in the same home with her husband. And that the marriage, though they'd been together so long 18 years prior to having their two sons, it really changed once they had the sons. And she was really disgusted that shortly after their separation, he was just out on a street corner making out with someone. I don't know that he called the paparazzi, but maybe he didn't, maybe he didn't. Who knows? It's. But he has a girlfriend and she's not thrilled about it. Erica goes and says about Tom Girardi and she's like, I don't know. I mean, he's going to die in prison. I was just hoping he would die before he went. And it was kind of a strange conversation, but it was extremely honest. The guy is 86 years old. He looks horrible. She's like, this isn't who I married. He, she realized later all the awful things he was doing, you know, that her whole life was just like fake thought he was this hero of, you know, of victims that had disastrous things happen to them and then he was stealing from them. So he's going to do seven years in prison. And yeah, it's, it's pretty logical to think an 86 year old man who doesn't seem in his good health is going to go to a prison where there isn't, it's not like a healthy diet there and not die there. So she was saying, I was hoping he would Just die before he has to go to prison for his sake and for mine. So I thought that was juicy. And then Dorit is really disgusted with PK and she thinks he's just trying to make her life difficult. Her kids had plans to go and visit their grandparents for a week, and then all of a sudden, he was trying to throw a wrench in that. And I agree with her. And it was annoying because Kyle was like, well, this is not the PK I know. PK is very reasonable, and why don't you just. Why don't you just let them. Why don't you let him go to Florida and maybe they just have a lunch with him? And she's like, but why he's not seeing them when they're in la? Why does he have to fly to Florida and up their week with my parents? Like, it is. It is. I'm all. I'm all on Dorit's side in that one. And then there's a new girl, Amanda, and she is much younger. She announces at Jennifer Tilly's party that she was born in 1985, which everybody's like, what? So that's significant. That's approximately 15 years younger than everybody else on that cast. So. And she, like, created some book called Rich as, which is up there with, like, you know, I. It's kind of a crazy name, but whatever. But people are on her page and people are saying, I have taken her female financial freedom courses. Like, she's like a life coach and a manifestation person and that kind of whole thing, and that they speak very highly of her. What's interesting is that she said, I have four kids, and the two older ones are this age. And then. And then. Then Bose goes, oh, so they're their husband kids. She goes, no, they're my kids. We raise them together. And that became a discussion of how awful she is as a stepmother to say I'm raising these kids and referring to them as her own. As a stepmother myself. I mean, talk about the most thankless job as far as not from necessarily the child, but just from society in general. It's just like ever since, you know, Disney mean stepmother, they always are acting like the stepmother, you know, was just dying to raise someone else's kids. Like, oh, I'm so lucky. I'm so lucky I get to get this leftover husband and take care of his kids and. Ha, ha ha. Isn't this fun? No, that's not how it works. And it's. You know, it's actually very selfless if you think about it. And I just think there's this perception that somehow they're always evil and it's not the case. And oftentimes the first wife and mother of the kids is thrilled to see her ex husband find a lovely woman who is wonderful to her kids. It can happen. They're actually grateful. They're grateful that they get to communicate with the. The stepmother and the second wife versus dealing with their ex husband who they didn't have good communication with. Sometimes the two women, you know, make the whole family work better, and everybody's happy. Like, I didn't want him. I'm glad you found a nice woman. I'm glad my kids. Like, that can happen. And that is what is appearing to happen with this new girl, Amanda, because Amanda then shared text messages between she and the mother of the kids in which the mother said, and you are raising our children. And I'm very grateful. You're such an attuned. You're such an attuned. That's weird. And very wonderful. Such an attuned and very wonderful stepmom that I think she mentions the kid's name. Whatever drama they want to try to create. I mean, good luck, because we're fucking solid. And so she's right, you know, they're writing back with each other. And so I think that's. That's interesting. I don't know if we'll ever see this woman, but I think that can happen. It's. Sadly, it's more unusual than normal, but I like seeing it. But it appears that the women don't like her for whatever reasons that we will see in the upcoming episodes. Kyle. Finally, Kyle talks about the fact that since she and Mo have separated, she has not been completely single, but she is now. And I. When I first saw the clip, I was like, well, maybe she did date a guy. She does. She. She never says Morgan Wade's name. I'm gonna make you love me. Never says it. And so I'm like. But then she says they do this, like, painting thing where they're painting people's men's penises, like, at an art class. Again, nobody wants that. Nobody wants to do an art class where there's a bunch of naked men. But I have to say, I think it was a good little funny scene. And then Kyle's with Erika Jane, and she's like, well, it's been a long time since I've seen a penis. So if you've been in a relationship between Mauricio and now, it's. And you haven't Seen a penis. It's because you're with someone who doesn't have a penis, AKA a woman, Morgan Wade. So she says, I did have a relationship. I did enjoy this person very much. And while she's doing it, she's. They. She's wearing kind of a pretty pro lesbian outfit. She has a suit on and like a little tie with, like pins on it. And, you know, I just thought it was interesting that that's the outfit that she's talking about this in within her confessional interview. And she says, and I cared for this person very much, loved this person very much, but this person did not want to be in the public eye. Didn't want. And I am all for being honest, but what would I do? Would I protect that person? What should I do? Would you protect that person? And then Erika Jade is like, I protect that person. I protect that person with all my life. And I get it. It's. It's weird because we saw Morgan Wade come on the show numerous times, getting tattoos, singing at her friend's memorial, hanging out, laughing with the other women showing up. Then she did. They did the music video of I'm gonna make you love me. And they're acting like a couple. Like, Morgan comes over to this, you know, housewife's house. They just whole thing where they're. They don't kiss, but they basically are. And. And then you're mad that, like, people are talking about it. And what I think happened is Morgan was all for it and she did not understand what this Bravo fandom audience is like. And unfortunately, you cannot just turn off your phone and not be part of social media or when you are a singer. And I think she was like, I don't want this audience. I don't want these type of women commenting on me and writing me and either being into me or not being into me. I don't want it and I don't. So therefore, I don't want to be part of this relationship anymore. And I think she kind of is the one who broke up with Kyle. And she may have used that as the excuse, but it might have been a combination of both. There's like a 20 year age difference before between them. They don't seem to have, you know, I mean, they live in two different worlds. One's like, you know, kind of rough on the edges, tattooed country singer girl, and the other one is Kyle. So anyway, then she goes, he goes, he goes to Mauricio's and he's just like laughing about all the girls that he's like having sex with. And she's like, here's some new towels. It's just, it was just kind of strange. Like, I mean, I guess it's good. It's like, it definitely seems like they're friends. And I think that's also good that you could be friends and not care and just go, whatever. We're not going to go through all the red tape of getting divorce, divorced, but we'll probably never get together, be back together. And that's what I said. I don't think they'll either one will file for divorce until he gets someone pregnant or one of them really falls in love with someone else and they're like that, then the other person is not okay with them staying in this like, quote unquote married but not married relationship. So pretty juicy over there. Oh, this was really fun. Zach Peter wrote, does this mean we'll never get to see that Morgan Wade documentary? And here I was holding my breath. Very funny. Yes. Remember, that was another thing. Kyle was, you know, becoming a documentarian and she was always filming her and was going to do a whole documentary about not just Morgan Wade and her music, but the fact that she had some more unique cancer gene in which they. She went forward to, you know, get certain surgeries and whatnot to prevent cancer from coming from breast surgery. And that was a. That was also going to be part of this documentary. And I actually talked to her about it, I think, at one of Kathy's Christmas parties a couple years ago. And then that didn't, you know. Yeah, we were probably never going to see it because it probably didn't. It's probably not done and she probably doesn't want to finish it and wants to just put that in the past. So. But, you know, here she was sitting on her lap on a plane when there's plenty of seats, there's a seat right next to her. So I don't sit on my platonic friend's lap when I'm on a private plane and there's a very comfortable seat next to it, unless you're a couple and a new couple at that. So we all know now, not that we ever wondered it. And then she goes, well, I might go Brad. I might go Angelina. So at least she's kind of at least addressing it. And now we can put it away and know that we're never going to see the documentary. I know when the conversation comes up about GLP wants what they could do for you, or we're talking with my friends, people always mention the cost well, how much does it cost? I've heard this.

And it's just all these women that are really wealthy that have businesses. So it'll be like a housewife version of people that actually have more than just ideas of businesses but have like up and running, real businesses, real money. And I think that will be a cool show. I am just like holding out for the OGs of New York since so many of them live in that Palm Beach, Boca Raton area. I why is that show not happening? Because we've got Ramona, we've got Jill, we've got Luann who can be there in a second. I don't know if she has a place there. Sonia has a place there. Dorinda can pop down from the Berkshires. And I'm just like, that Kelly Besselman can sell a house there. I don't know. I want to see that show. And that's the Palm Beach I want to see because there's another show about Palm, Palm beach women and like rich people. And so there's a lot of these other type of like housewife knockoff type shows coming. But you know, it's really about the women. It's not just putting them in a different city and then you have to, like, learn them all new, but that this could be good. Kim Kardashian had a. A little graduation for her law school. I did not realize that she graduated from law school. I thought that she could skip law school in California and just study for the bar, which she has yet to pass. She did do it once and failed. But at one point, this scene has gone viral from the show. I think of where her boys are, like, trying to steal the mic and they, like, start to fight and everything. I thought it was a really cute moment. I mean, I always remember that the last Christmas party I was ever invited to at the Kardashians, Brandon and Drake started to fight and wrestle near the fake snow, which was next to the real reindeers. And I was like, stop it. And they're like in their little suits. And I remember Courtney saw it and I think that she. This is like over 10 years ago, and I think she was just about 10 years ago. Yeah, 10 or nine. Nine years ago. And Courtney was pretty, like, ugh, who are these awful boys? So I then next year, not invited. So enjoy those times. Now that you. Now that you have kids that age, maybe you won't be so critical. Okay. Alex Earl is one of our biggest influencers. She really popped a couple years ago. She is very beautiful. She was on Dancing with the Stars. She had a podcast with Alex Cooper called her daddy, like, under her umbrella. For whatever reason, that podcast ended. They broke up. We don't know why exactly. I have my suspicions in that the podcasting world just really wasn't for Alex Earle and that she does this better on the Instagram and influencing and it's a little. Probably more work than she wanted to do, but I have no. That's just my opinion. Anyway, she had this really cute boyfriend named Braxton who plays football, professional football, and they broke up and he decided to post like a cute picture of himself. And he was just attacked by like all of her fans just coming after him like, oh, you thirsty? Will you give it a minute? They did break up and basically she said it was a long distance relationship while I was out in LA doing Dance with the Stars. And I just creatively really like being here. And I'm really sad because I knew it wouldn't be able to work being long distance. And they broke up and I think that's the right choice. She's really young. This is the time that, you know, you need to explore and she's like blowing up and you know, so good, good for her. And it's sad, but everyone will be fine. But they were a gorgeous couple and I did follow her and they were very cute on their videos together. So I can see why the Craze fans are not happy about it. Pickleball as you know, I play pickleball. There is going to be a reality show about pickleball and it is, it's a. Okay, there's. It's an indoor, indoor pickleball chain called Pickleball Kingdom is starting a new reality television show in 2026 where 16 players compete for pro pickleball contracts and the chance to be awarded Pickleball Kingdom franchises across America. Pickleball is pretty fun to watch on tv. I, I will, I'm telling you, there are going to be so many pickleball type shows. I think it's just a fun base. I don't know that there's that much to actually like watching it and like studying, like how you do all, you know, all these different moves and stuff. But I think we'll see a lot more of it just being played out like as a storyline or what brings people together, what makes them friends and then that's just like the background of the story because I mean, there's only so much you can do about being annoyed that you know, you're. That you have to play with someone on open pickleball that's like not that great or whatever. So we'll see. But no, no one's asked me to see if I want to be a professional pickleball player on this reality show yet. Yet. That's like Meghan Markle yet. That's right. Yet you don't know how to turn off the light yet. Selling Sunset has another show called Selling OC And I had Alex hall on my show. She now is another realtor turn podcaster who hasn't done that. Anyway, she had a boyfriend on the show that was married to Britney Stowe, the actress. And he was very good looking, named Tyler Staniland. And they, he breaks up with Britney Stowe. They had a bit of a relationship on and off camera and then they broke up. And in the show she finds out he had like a side piece the whole time. Whatever. He just got married. Just got married to some cute blonde girl. We don't know how long they've been dating. And TMZ says Selling the OC star Tyler Staniland passes on a planned podcast with Alex Hall. Now obviously this is not A big story. They put it out there. They wanted everything to be discussed. So is that bad that he canceled on a podcast interview with his ex girlfriend? No. Like, no, you're already married to somebody else. You just got married and now you're going to do a public podcast, which is basically like having a lunch with somebody. It's a two hour situation where you talk, look across from each other. It's not like you're, you know, having to film a scene in a soap opera and you have to work with your co star. You are having an intimate conversation which then the world can see, write about, talk about, analyze it. And do you think that's a good time for your new wife? No, it's not. So I'm sorry, Alex, but no. He doesn't owe you anything. He need. If you want to be a good husband, your past relationships are in the past. You don't have to be rude. You don't have to call them on their birthday or wish them a merry Christmas or anything like that. Maybe if they lose someone significant in their life in a tragic way, it's a classy move to send some flowers and say, I'm so sorry. I have very fond memories of your mother when we were together and I'm praying for you. That I think is a class move, but once you're married, no, you don't need to go on each other's podcasts. My favorite show, Lisa Kudrow, my former teacher from Groundlings, it is coming back. This is my favorite show. It started so long ago, it was so ahead of its time. About a sitcom star who is simultaneously filming two shows. One where she has a part in a dumb sitcom, another where she's forming her own reality star show about her comeback returning to sitcom tv. It was so the jokes were like so funny and a little maybe inside a little too. So it went away. Then it came back, did another couple seasons, but now it's going to relaunch. March of 26 and Andrew Scott from Fleabag has joined the cast. The premise is Valerie is cast on the first sitcom ever written by AI. I hope to God this isn't a fake story. I really do. I hope to go, I'm like looking at this, you know, I follow so many accounts and I try to gather these stories and sometimes I too get taken I but it's got to be I this is from Queens of Bravo. So I hope they didn't steer me wrong because I love this concept at her and the character and I can't wait for it. To come back. Kamora Lee Simmons says that she doesn't have a relationship with her father's with her kids fathers and she has five children, three different fathers, one being Russell Simmons who she met when she was only 17. And he then she married him when she was 23. We saw a lot of her life on the E. Show about her life and now I believe a new. She's some new reality show. Her daughters are, you know, grown now. One daughter dated a restaurateur, 44 her season, her senior. That was a weird thing. And then Russell is coming out saying that, you know, he, he has paid her consecutively $50,000 a month for years and it's very hurtful for her to say that she's raising these kids by herself. I don't know what their relationship is with Russell. He's had legal things happen where he's had to like being accused of things and having to, you know, leave the country or whatever. Also their issue was there was a legal situation with her like second or third husband, like stole, allegedly stole stocks from Russell Simmons. So that caused a big issue and why she divorced that person. So yeah. I want to hear more from Kamor Lee Simmons. I think that she has led a very interesting life, but one that, you know, she seems to be. Have a horrible picker but is probably a good mother. Oh. So that trend that I was talking about with the, you know, the Silver Spring song where they go, where they show like videos and they show like writing on the screen where it says, you know, in 1996 someone is going to say you should go on a blind date. It's very important that you do that. So this girl, Fire Rose, she did a one. She did one. And it was about how she was married to Billy Ray Cyrus, Miley's father. And she basically says when you're this age, you're going to be love bombed by this older man who's going to convince you you're right for each other and don't do it. It's a nightmare. He's a narcissist, whatever. And she put that video out and it has a lot of views and a lot of likes because yeah, she shouldn't there. People say there's a reason, you know, why. Why certain men go for women that are so significantly younger than them and by. And not just like, you know, not just like a 6 year old dating like a 42 year old. It's like a, you know, a 50 year old dating a 22 year old, like a huge age difference. And the girl is still so not even fully like, grown into her own womanhood and then gets sucked in by this, like, older, powerful guy. So kind of interesting that she was calling him out. And no better way to call him out than on a tick tock. These are the worst outfits. I, I cannot believe this outfit that someone sent me and was like, what the hell is this? You just have to look at this. I hope you guys are following me on YouTube because you really have to see this. It's from Bergdorf Goodman and it is a padded peplum short sleeve sweater. Peplum can be very flattering because it, like, nips you on the waist. It has a little thing that comes out. So it kind of makes your waist look smaller and maybe covers a little bit of like a, a pooch in your stomach or your hips. This is a padded. You just look like you have like a horrible posture. It is one of the worst things I've ever seen. And then they paired them with these awful big pants. Awful. And then this is another awful thing. I saw this. A pair of jeans made into a shirt. I don't know what is going on with fashion and. But we have got to say no. I already predicted that the, you know, groin area, AKA the vagina, cleavage, was going to be all the rage. We got through that. We're done with the sheer outfits. Please know more. 20, 26, what I want retired. I'm gonna make a list. And it's the sheer dresses. It's definitely this jean top and this peplon shirt. But, like, can we just please get back to some flattering. Cher, 79, is set to marry her boyfriend, Alexander A E Edwards, who's 39 ahead of her milestone birthday. So before she's 80, maybe her 80th birthday will be a surprise prize wedding. He is also the father of Amber Rose's child. And there's a photo of the three of them together. And the child is so cute. And again, you know what? I'm guessing Amber Rose is like, good. I mean, I think that I, if I, who doesn't want Cher as a stepmother for their child? Like, she's lovely, she's smart, she's rich, rather than him because. And he can't knock her up. So I think this is great. Like, I, I would be thrilled if my, if Peter got with Cher. Absolutely. Who cares? Like that? That's so much better than him getting, than him pursuing some girl who's 19 or something who, you know, so think of it that way. And I, you know, and they've Been together a while, so you never know. And it's probably a healthy place for Amber Rose's kid to be around. So I think that's all good. I just want to remind people that still nobody has gotten one dime from the fire aid concert in the Palisades or the Eaton fire. Not the people that stood on stage, not the that that lost their home, not the people that also said, every dollar of this ticket and any dollar that you donate will go directly to the victim. What happened was the fire aid people said, we never said they were going to go directly to victims. We said they were going to go to all these other charities, and then those charities are going to give it to the fire victims, but nobody got it. And the people that went to those charity, they go, so then someone goes, well, where's my money? And they go, oh, here's a lift. With all these charities, you can just ask them to see. And then the people write them and they're like, sorry, we. You know, they just blow them off. A year, almost a year later, I'm. I don't know how that works because everyone's just passing the buck. But no one, none of those bucks actually got into the victims. So thank God for Spencer Pratt that has exposed this and keeps asking about it. But in the meantime, I don't know how. There's no way that that all that money, if you bought a sweatshirt. We spent money on tickets ourselves. Thousands of dollars to go, just went to these. These charities that have nothing to do with fires. So I think that sucks and it's too bad. This, I think, is pretty funny. Neil Patrick Harris calls out Abby Lee Miller for airbrushing his face in Instagram post. They took a photo together. And Abby Lee Miller, you know, is very nice. She's been on my show. She came to my party. But yeah, I think some people get very aggressive with the face tuning and oftentimes they. It's really unchristian to only do yourself and then not do them. But sometimes they. They don't want to do that. So they do both of you. And you aren't used to using a filter. And he looks. This photo is so funny. I think it's hilarious. But yeah, there are times when certain people have been in someone else's photo and they're like, who the is this? Like, what in the face tuning airbrush world do we live in? Like, unrecognizable? I think it's actually really funny and funny that he called him out on it and. But he looks like she Kind of looks like herself because we're used to seeing her photos the way she does herself. But then she like you know, just, I guess just said do the filter on him and he looks like completely different. Remember Sister Wise, We've talked about it over the years. Well, I did watch some of the episodes and I did see Cody go and meet with Janelle and apologize and then he's apologizing to Christine and I think it's nice. Since we've been with his family for 18 years, they have sold Coyote Pass, obviously. It's like they have to have some type of communication and make up if they're going to keep this show going. So we'll see if the show keeps going. Like is it interesting enough to see them date or whatever? But at one point Janelle is like, maybe I could get back together with Cody. And you know, she never really cared that he was with Robin or whatever. She just was like annoyed with him. And I'm very curious to see that. Will, what will happen. Also on Seeking Sister Wives, remember there was this guy, Garrick. Garrick, the weirdest name. And he is still seeking other wives. He has one. There was some type of domestic situation that happened with the police where I think maybe he grabbed her phone, the new wife's phone. He is still on a dating app spending like $909 or something quarterly on an elite dating app. And. And he says, I am a loving and kind and passionate and caring man that believes in putting God first in everything so that he blesses everything. And. But he says he's looking into a long term relationship and he does say he's, you know, into plural relationships. I mean, who's ever on this thing, you've just got to be wanting to do it to a get on TV or come to America or both, which was basically what the show became. Also there's going to be a whole nother show about the Amish again. Breaking free. I guess there's like very few left of them. And I'm like, haven't we seen this show like already a bunch of times about the Amish, like going to New York and like figuring out how to screw in a light bulb? I don't know, but they're. Those shows are all back. The Prime Minister of Australia has announced that children under 16 will, will not be able to have social media accounts. So no Instagram, no TikTok until after they are 16. I think this is so interesting and will be such an interesting example and study to see where those kids are in five or ten years mental health wise and everything else versus kids that don't have any kind of restrictions and will more countries and more people want to, you know, execute that. Of course you can do it for yourself, for your own kid. But then the problem is they're the only one that then is left out when everybody else in their, in their school has it and then they don't know about things and they so then that could probably cause a big problem with you know, your family. They're like what am I Amish? You know, like. So doing it for an entire country to see how it affects the youth is I think really fascinating and I'm, I can't imagine that it would have anything but positive results. Okay, now I am going to end on a crime story that is very sad and you know happened right before I had to really getting all the facts right before I had to record the show. But I wanted to put at the end I will be getting more into it on my Juicy Crimes and my Patreon which is tomorrow. Tomorrow's Juicy Crime is about Brian Walsh but we will touch on this as well. And what this is is Rob Reiner, the acclaimed actor, director, producer responsible for such hits as Harry Met Sally and Sleepless in Seattle and Spinal Tap. He was murdered in his Brentwood home with his wife who they've been together for over 35 years or so. They had three grown kids. Their second son Nick has been arrested for the murders. Their trigger warning their throats were slashed so it was with a knife. He I was looking him up Nick. He so he was the second son that was first son is married and seems to be doing fine. Then him and then their daughter who seems very outgoing. She's podcast she's trying to be an actress. She's cute. You know there's the scenes of her like cutting her dad's hair. This though Nick did a movie with his dad back in 2016 that he co wrote. It was like something about Charlie and about and it was loosely based on his life of how he was addicted to drugs as a as a teen and young adult went to rehab and that was what the movie was about. And he said Rob Reiner said it was a very hard thing to work on with his son creatively but very satisfying and he hopes to do more with him but that was in 2016. It doesn't look like he they did any more real projects together though he was on the red carpet with his family as just as just a few months ago been photographed in photos with his family though in those photos he doesn't look right. So just so horrible. I think, you know, it's just a lot is unfolding. First person I thought of was Cheryl Hines, who is friend of mine who's been on the show and her job when we were at Groundlings together was she was an assistant for his wife Michelle for several years. Kind of a personal assistant, administrative type of assistant, but in and outside of the home. So she must have known the kids. They were probably little when she was there. There was a time when Rob Reiner and Michelle came to our show to support her. She posted put something, you know, Cheryl wrote. The loss of Rob Reiner and Michelle Singer Reiner is devastating. I met 31 years ago when I began working for them as an assistant and instantly love their generosity, humor and unwavering inspiration. So tragic and weird and sad and I I feel so badly for the two other children and what they must be going through. So we'll get more into it, find out more of what may have transpired on Juicy Crimes, which drops tomorrow. So please subscribe to that listen for free on YouTube and of course on all the platforms.

Ray J's "Stranded" Instagram Post
“If I was stranded, I would immediately go to my Instagram and be like, ‘I have nothing, I need help,’ and there is no doubt someone would show up.” – Heather (06:44)
"It is really a way to let women escape. Real Housewives is a path for gold-digging, transactional marriage type wives to get a career that's pretty fun... and you can get divorced." – Heather (17:28)
"If you've been in a relationship between Mauricio and now, and you haven't seen a penis, it's because you're with someone who doesn't have a penis—aka a woman, Morgan Wade." – Heather (1:07:24)
“I’m trying to get that class action lawsuit together for you guys… the emotional distress that we have endured… the sleepless nights… and that we never will get answers.” (31:10)
“So tragic and weird and sad and I feel so badly for the two other children…” (1:56:00)
Heather’s classic blend of Bravo deep dives, reality TV analysis, speculative asides, and no-holds-barred humor shine in this episode. Whether mocking staged paparazzi shots, commiserating over post-divorce freedom, or breaking down both ridiculous fashions and wrenching celebrity crime, she manages to keep it all “juicy.” For fans of pop culture commentary with candor and comedic bite, this episode packs a season’s worth of Bravo in a single, binge-worthy hour.
