One of our favorite streamers, Britbox just came out with a brand new original drama and we are obsessed. It's called Outrageous and trust me, the title is no exaggeration. We're talking drama, scandal, aristocratic chaos and a whole lot of jaw drops. It's based on the true story of the Mitford sisters. Think Kardashians if they were aristocrats in the 1930s with wildly clashing politics and a flair for international scandal. And chances are you've never heard their story. It's stunning.
- [00:34]
Ben Mandelker
It's delicious.

Kiki Monique
It's very British. So check out Outrageous Streaming only on Britbox. You're welcome.

Ben Mandelker
Well, hello and welcome to Watch what Crappens. It's Crappy Hour and I'm Ben Mandelker and I could not be more honored and delighted than to have the wonderful and beautiful Kiki Monique here filling in for Ronnie Caram. Hi. Hi Kiki. How Are you?
- [03:04]
Dorinda Medley
I'm great. How are you?
- [03:07]
Ben Mandelker
I am fantastic. I'm so happy to see you. I've been seeing a lot of you over the past few weeks. We saw each other at the Watcher Crappens end of concert, not concert, end of podcast or wrap party. And then more importantly, the two of us shared a bagel together in Los Angeles. We did a Bagel Friday, Bagel Thursday crossover experience. And it was so fun.
- [03:31]
Dorinda Medley
So much fun.
- [03:32]
Ben Mandelker
Bagel.
- [03:33]
Dorinda Medley
I mean, the bagel was delicious. I actually had a bagel today. Utopia. I'm in New York. One of the best bagels ever in New York.
- [03:39]
Ben Mandelker
Oh, you are so lucky. Everyone in the comments is saying hello. If this is your first time joining us here on Crappy Hour, what we do is we talk sort of about Bravo, Goss, etc. Maybe the extended world of Bravo for about 45 minutes or so. But we also are going to talk about some of the shows and then we turn it over to you and we'll just call you guys up. So as we approach that 45 minute mark, I'm going to put a link in on. It'll be in the comments. I think it's going to be on on YouTube only, unfortunately not for Instagram. And we will call you up to join. So if you want to participate later on in the episode, be sure to join us on YouTube because this is going to YouTube and Instagram. Before we get started, Kiki, do you want to tell everyone where they can find you and listen to your beautiful voice?
- [04:31]
Dorinda Medley
Yeah, you can always find me on Instagram and TikTok at the talk of Shame. And you can hear me weekdays with Dorind Medley on Radio. Andy, we host Reality Checked every day at 4:00pm Eastern.
- [04:41]
Ben Mandelker
I mean, how. What a cool thing that you get to host a show with Dorinda Medley herself. I mean, when you got the call, when you, when you were told like, guess what you're going to be hosting with Dorinda, like, what was that moment like for you?
- [04:54]
Dorinda Medley
I mean, I was just kind of like, I'm ready, coach. Put me in. I was like, this is what I've been building up. But watching TV my entire life, I've learned everything about reality TV and pop culture. This is what I'm made for.
- [05:06]
Ben Mandelker
This is the moment. This is the moment. Alvi in the comments says, what is your favorite bagel? I am a sesame bagel, girly. What about you, Kiki?
- [05:15]
Dorinda Medley
I love an onion bagel. You know, locks and cream cheese and, you know, all the things on a Nice onion bagel.
- [05:21]
Ben Mandelker
You really. You really cannot go wrong. Okay, so while we wait for. People are still coming in. They're arriving into our virtual room here. So before we do that, before. Before we dive into, like, the really big headlines as people arrive, I just to touch base. How are you feeling about the state of Bravo? What's on right now? Like, how are you, like, any hot takes on some of the big shows that are airing next gen or the valley, etc. Tell me everything.
- [05:48]
Dorinda Medley
I feel like there had been a little bit of a dry spell just, like, not too long ago, and so I'm very excited because I actually feel like every night I'm looking forward to something. Like, I know people, you know, have their opinions about the McBee dynasty, but I love that show, so I'm, like, happy that's on, you know, Mondays, obviously, the Valley. Next gen N has been appointment tv.
- [06:10]
Ben Mandelker
Miami nights go off on Broadway. Yeah, yeah.
- [06:13]
Dorinda Medley
Miami is amazing. And now Orange county is back. Like, I'm. I'm pretty much in heaven. And I actually just watched King's Court. I'm obsessed with that because I got two of the episodes as screeners. I'm obsessed already.
- [06:26]
Ben Mandelker
Let's talk about that for a second, because I watched it as well, because, I mean, it's. You know, it's. It's. What's his face? Why am I all of a sudden blank on his name? Thank you. I almost said Tyrese. I was like, it's not Tyrese. Tyson Beckford. I mean, he is. After all these years, you just, like, watch me. Like, he is gorgeous. Like, the people who. The women who got to be on this show who just, like, guess what? You're gonna be on a dating show, and you might be dating Tyson Beckford, the most famous male model of all time. Are you kidding me?
- [06:57]
Dorinda Medley
Yeah, I would be.
- [06:59]
Kiki Monique
Like.
- [07:01]
Ben Mandelker
I watch it as well. Okay, wait. So tell me, what did you think about it? What did you think about the premiere, like, and which guy do you like the most?
- [07:07]
Dorinda Medley
You know, I actually like all three guys because I think they're so different in their own ways that I feel like it's a really good mix. And I think they have a really. I. I think the women that they have is really interesting. I like the setup where, you know, I like how they're dating and they, you know, because I always love chaos. I like when it's like, yes, you have an idea of who you want to be with, but if that guy's feeling someone else, then you can kind of move over here. And, like, everyone's like, I. I just. I love the whole setup. Again, I feel like I'm a little bit. Because I'm ahead, because I watched episode two Epis. Episode two made me the biggest fan.
- [07:41]
Ben Mandelker
But really, yeah, because I thought episode one was nice. I enjoyed it. I didn't think it was, like. I didn't think it was, like, life changing. And in fact, I thought when they went on their dates, it was kind of annoying. I liked when they were talking and schmoozing. I think I'm, like, right now in a love island state where I just want to see people talk, because, like, when they went skydiving or when they went to that, like, paint class, I was kind of like, I don't know, like this. It's just, like, very reality showy. And I'm like, I'm not. I don't believe anyone's building any sort of relationship here, but I did. The guys are so hot.
- [08:14]
Dorinda Medley
They're so hot. Yeah. No, like, I can see how the days got cringe, but the true colors, especially of one of the particular women, comes out in episode two. And then that's when you see, okay, we're in a competition now because they're introducing more women. So it's not just going to be those women for the whole time.
- [08:32]
Ben Mandelker
Yes. That makes me excited. I. And all three guys were very interesting because Tyson arguably has been in the public eye the longest, I think, of these three. So he's actually, I find, very comfortable there. Carlos is a bit more. I mean, they've all been in the public eye a lot, but Carlos is much, much more of, like, a yogi spiritual guy, too, which surprised me. And then Tyson, I mean, I think that, like, not Tyson. Titus is. He's so hot. Like, I mean, I love a muscular guy, and he. But he's a little cheesy. I'm, like, a little concerned. My cheesy meter's going off a bit. But I do like him.
- [09:13]
Dorinda Medley
I do like him. And, like, I'm still trying to get a vibe on him. But what I do like, he is. He's very honest about, you know, what it means to be a big black man, you know, and there's white women in the house. And, like, I love that he's willing to have those conversations because I think that is important. And so I kind of like that aspect. And then, yeah, yeah. Carlos, I think, is the basketball player. Of course, you know, basketball players have a reputation, but, you know, we'll see how that goes.
- [09:41]
Ben Mandelker
We'll see. I Mean, that one. That one lady, the white lady, who's like, oh, yes, I've totally dated black men, and my two parents are senators in Tennessee. And guess what? I did not date black man. I just have never done it. I was like, lady, like, if you think you're staying on this show. Because she's like, oh, my parents are so accepting of everyone. I was like, okay, let's.
- [10:04]
Dorinda Medley
Yeah, she said Tennessee. And yes, senators. I was like, do I want to Google this? Do I want to see what he voted for? Because I don't think this is going the right way.
- [10:13]
Ben Mandelker
Lady, the sooner you're off the show, the better for you. Just trust us. But, yeah, I thought it was fun. I don't know if we're going to recap it or not, but I'm definitely going to. I mean, I really am. I might just watch it just because those guys are so attractive. Like, isn't that such a. I'm like, it's. It sounds almost silly, but, like, they're very pleasant to look at.
- [10:31]
Dorinda Medley
Yeah, no, I'm. I'm into it. You know, I hope. I hope it keeps up. We'll see what happens. But again, I think episode two was why I was like, okay, I'm gonna watch this for the ratchetness of it.
- [10:44]
Ben Mandelker
Okay, I'll check in on it. And, you know, you just did just say that you also are in support of the McBee dynasty. I have to say, I haven't watched tonight's episode yet. I've watched the first two. Where I struggle is actually not the subject matter. You know, I'm. You know, I'm all liberal and stuff, but I. I'm fine watching, like, the Cowboys and the. And the farm stuff and everything. I don't mind that. I just have trouble with the way the show is actually made. I feel like. It just feels, like, really cheap to me. And, like, I think maybe. Maybe I have to push through the. The trappings of the show, but it just. It really does not feel like a Bravo show to me. And I'm really struggling just with how it's presented, you know?
- [11:22]
Dorinda Medley
Well, that's the thing, because, you know, I really became a fan. Like, the production company. Jeff Jenkins production company is the same production company that does Mormon Wives. And so, like, when they did Mormon Wives, I started following them because I was like, oh, I really love the first season. And then they did McBee, and I was like, I really love the first season of that. My fear, because I do fear this is what is happening with the Mormon Wives. And my fears what might happen, McBee, is that they, they. They push it too hard on us and we get over saturated with too much of it too soon. Like, I feel like the Mormon wives are being inundated us on a way that, like, it shouldn't happen like that. Like, and so I'm scared because I'm like, I really want to enjoy it, but I don't want to be pushed into it.
- [12:02]
Ben Mandelker
Yeah. I mean, the saving grace is that there are a lot of people on the McBee dynasty to make fun of, which is really where Ronnie and I, that's our sweet spot. Are just, like, just idiots. If there are people that we can really, really make fun of. I'm not sure. I'm not sure that it's a problem for us, but just in terms of, like, casually watching, I was like, oh, I feel this is. This is a little tough for me right now. But, you know, I don't want to yuck on people's yums, even though, you know, it's a bit of a struggle for me right now. So. Anyway, can we. Let's talk a little bit of. Let's talk about some stuff that's going on in the world of Bravo and beyond. This is in no particular order. I just, you know, these are some of the big, big ticket items in the gossip world. Denise Richards divorce. Denise and Aaron, I thought they were a forever couple. I mean, I thought they kept their magnets aligned and this was going to work out for them. What happened, Kiki? Where is this all going?
- [13:00]
Dorinda Medley
I blame his family because I think. Because there's no reason they should ever break up, especially him. He's. He's living on a gravy train. There's no reason he would ever want to leave Denise. She doesn't want to get divorced again. She's, like, comfortable, so she's happy. So it has to be that family that's living in one of the condos that she bought.
- [13:21]
Ben Mandelker
That's exactly what I thought because, like, literally, I was thinking about. I was like, those that There's. There's a whole bunch. There's a whole family of freeloaders that are. Have taken over their house that have been there since the pandemic.
- [13:31]
Dorinda Medley
Because the only way you could be spending $10,000 in groceries is if you are buying it for that many people. Because, like, the $105,000 monthly nut. Okay, you're paying for. For so many people. And I get it. Like, she probably is, you know, taking care of her daughters because, you know what Lola Works at a coffee shop. Like.
- [13:53]
Ben Mandelker
She'S like in a coffee shop and she has like, you know, a very like, spiritual Taco Tuesday that she does. And then the other one is, remember that when she was like, dear Heavenly Father, thank you for this Taco Tuesday. And the other one's doing only. Yeah, it has to be. It has to be. Because it seemed like everything was fine. But then he hasn't been working apparently for the past few months. I think that's what I read. Or as much as like, like conning like rich people in Malibu to go to his like, facility and like, have magnets put on them, whatever, to test for cancer. Like, as much as that is a job, I don't think that he has a huge amount of income. But the thing is that, like, I don't think Denise would even care about that. And in fact, I was reading that Teddy and, and Erica have come to the defense of Denise because they said on two T's on a pod, like, yeah, Denise is like, does not want a divorce. She wants to make it work all the way to the end. So I think they, if I may, I may be misspeaking, but I think they are predicting that Aaron decided to, to make this call. Do you think Aaron would do this?
- [14:58]
Dorinda Medley
That would be very foolish of him. Unless he knew that he could get a big alimony, you know, settlement. Because that's the, that's the, the danger of keeping a kept person is once you get them acclimated to that lifestyle. Yes. You technically have to keep them in that lifestyle. Now I will say they don't have any kids together unless he adopted Eloise, which I don't think he did, but I don't know. Otherwise they don't have any kids together. So it's like typically judges, I think, say you have to maintain that lifestyle because if you, the kids come over, they expect a certain lifestyle as well.
- [15:33]
Ben Mandelker
Right.
- [15:33]
Dorinda Medley
I shouldn't have to maintain your lifestyle just because you like.
- [15:40]
Ben Mandelker
I mean, this is the most predictable outcome for this guy. I mean, he is, he's like a grown ass himbo. You know, he's, he's like hot. And you know, like when he was younger he just, you know, he was probably like a pool boy. Like he would have been on Love island of. Given the chance back in like 1995, whenever. And you know, he, he like probably just slept his way around throughout, throughout, like Los Angeles. I'm not saying he did. I'm just saying, like, he just seems like the type. We've all seen them around the city. These like hot guys that are like personal trainers and whatever and they just go from like, you know, they're just like hired hands to go around. And you know, he eventually like has enough of these ladies that he's able to build a client base to go to his whatever, whatever that, whatever that company is that he had where metals or magnets or whatever. He's able to do this full on fraudulent business and then like he's gonna like attach himself onto a star and then divorce and get that money. Like I think it was like the most obvious prediction. And the best part is, you know, in like two years they're gonna reboot Denise Richards, you know, and her wild things and it'll be like, well, Aaron's coming over, we're divorced. He sucked me dry. But you know, family's family. So Sunday night dinner. Am I right?
- [16:55]
Dorinda Medley
I see. I more hope that since they're already, you know, trying to cast this Next Gen la. I would love to just have Sammy and Lola be casted for next year la. We know the parents come in occasionally. Then we get to see Denise, you know, interacting with her daughters while they're not talking and. But then we get to hear her backstory that way and that. I just feel like we keep the story going that way.
- [17:20]
Ben Mandelker
Speaking of Next Gen la, the most important question of our time is who do you think should be on Next Gen la? I think I read that the Dubrows were pushing to have one of the one or two of their kids. I'm sure they want Nikki. Nikki. He's a realtor now with the Altman Group. He has to be on this show. He's just fabulous. But what other kids are there?
- [17:40]
Dorinda Medley
I guess I want Brandi Glanville son because. Oh, Randy. Yeah, I want to see that happening. Yeah. Like I said, Denise Richards daughters. I would like to see Cynthia. I would like to see what Noel is up to because I just. Yeah, like she would be like the Riley of the group. Like kind of just like. But I don't know again, like I do want there to be connection of some, some way, shape or form because I think that's why NYC is working pretty well. Who else lives in la? I mean there has to be like the LA people that work for entertainment that we don't know yet.
- [18:13]
Ben Mandelker
That yes, there's all those people. I don't want really any of Kyle's daughters. I'm just sort of like, I'm over there.
- [18:19]
Dorinda Medley
No, they can do that. We on.
- [18:21]
Ben Mandelker
Yeah, we don't need. We don't need them. And by the way, in the comments, please weigh in on who you'd like to see on Next Gen la, because I would love to hear that. I'm trying to think, is there anyone from Shaza Son? No. No one from Shaza Sunset is of age.
- [18:33]
Dorinda Medley
Their kids aren't old enough yet.
- [18:36]
Ben Mandelker
I'm just imagining. I'm just imagining Kyle Richards putting, like, a little beret on Portia and, like, putting her face full of makeup and be like, go. You can be 22. You can do it. You can do it. You can play older.
- [18:45]
Dorinda Medley
Okay. I said no. I said none of Kyle Richards daughters. But actually, Portia could actually, because she's right on the precipice. Old is she now, like, 17?
- [18:56]
Ben Mandelker
I think she's 17.
- [18:57]
Dorinda Medley
Probably not old enough. Yeah, I need them to be at least 21 and get a little bit of ratchet.
- [19:01]
Ben Mandelker
Yeah. Someone on Instagram, Alton, said Summer Moon. I'm just imagining Sheena because she would do that. She would dress up Summer Moon like she was in Clueless or something and be like, yeah, she's totally eligible. I'm just imagining all these, like, fame crave people here just, like, trying to make their kids look older. What about. What about. Are the Hamlin sisters too old? Which sounds crazy.
- [19:26]
Dorinda Medley
Interesting. Interesting. They're not too old, but I do think that they're too, like, cool. I don't like either. Too famous. Like, they're like, yeah, they don't need it. That would be a good one. No, but that would be a good one. I would like to see them.
- [19:42]
Ben Mandelker
Yeah. Someone asks, how old are Adrian's kids? Yeah, Adrian Maloof, Mike.
- [19:47]
Dorinda Medley
Well, she said that she was. She said that her sons were contact. It was. It was Cynthia, Bailey and Adrian. They said that, you know, they were both contacted, but so I could see Adrian. I don't know what, like, Adrian has what, three sons?
- [19:59]
Ben Mandelker
I think so. And by the way, Taylor Armstrong, I think that Madison. Her daughter's name is Madison, Right.
- [20:04]
Dorinda Medley
Okay.
- [20:05]
Ben Mandelker
There's an Armstrong child.
- [20:07]
Dorinda Medley
Okay, I could see that.
- [20:09]
Ben Mandelker
Is there a grammar that's around. Oh, like a younger grammar. A younger grammar. Maybe a post Camille grammar That is. That is in there. I don't know. I. This is actually like, my favorite game now is to try to think about all the. The children that have, like, circulating around. There really are not as many on. On these shows. I mean, Orange county, because people could come up from Orange county because if Gia can come in from New Jersey to be in New York City, we can get some Orange county types, which.
- [20:37]
Dorinda Medley
I just think there needs to be casting though that like, because there's, there's kids that literally are in LA that like are from very famous families that we've never seen before because they've just been behind the scenes. And so we need a couple of those for just like that actual LA flavor.
- [20:53]
Ben Mandelker
Yeah. Siri Cruz. I'm gonna say it right?
- [20:55]
Dorinda Medley
Yes. Oh my God. New York now though, right? She's a New Yorker problem, whatever.
- [21:01]
Ben Mandelker
Like she can reunite with daddy. Okay, I still want to hear more. Oh God. Someone said Gina's daughter. Gina's daughter is too old and feel like. Would not. I feel like Gina's. She's like married to like a football player.
- [21:16]
Dorinda Medley
Yeah, she's like three kids.
- [21:18]
Ben Mandelker
Yeah, yeah, she's fine. My. Everyone is going off in the comments. This is hilarious. Someone suggests Francois Van von Kempen. I mean like.
- [21:29]
Dorinda Medley
Australia now.
- [21:31]
Ben Mandelker
I know. Okay, well let's, let's move on from that. Still would like to entertain everyone's thoughts. Maybe we'll do something on social media like, okay, accept, accept solicitation for everyone can. Can be agents for these children and you can, you can act on their behalf and advocate for them.
- [21:48]
Dorinda Medley
It's time for a commercial.

Plus, today is the worst day of Abby's life. The 17 year old cradles her newborn son in her arms.

Dorinda Medley
They all saw how much I loved him. They didn't have to take him from me.

Liberty Lost
Between 1945 and the early 1970s, families shipped their pregnant teenage daughters to maternity homes and forced them to secretly place their babies for adoption in hidden corners across America. It's still happening.

Dorinda Medley
My parents had me locked up in the godparent home against my will. They worked with them to manipulate me and to steal my son away from me.
- [25:40]
Liberty Lost
The godparent home is the brainchild of controversial preacher Jerry Falwell, the father of the modern evangelical rite and the founder of Liberty University, where powerful men, emboldened by their faith, determine who gets to be a parent and who must give their child away.

So, speaking of. Speaking of children, speaking of la. Wow. So the news came out that while Sheena was married, was. Was. I'm sorry, pregnant with future next gen LA star Summer Moon, that Brock cheated on her. And. And he. And he only told her because, as she tells it in her memoir, in her memoir, that she was reaching for the remote to turn on Real Housewives of New Jersey. And Brock said, wait a second, I've got something serious to tell you. Which, by the way, it's great timing before we watch the Real Housewives New Jersey. Okay, before we get into this, let me just set the tone.
- [26:53]
Dorinda Medley
Yeah.
- [26:54]
Ben Mandelker
I cheated on you. Yeah. What did you think about all this?
- [26:59]
Dorinda Medley
Oh, it's just, like, it's so gut wrenching because, like, I, like, I start thinking forward because I start thinking, okay, is this person gonna come forward? Right? And, like, I hope this is the only person that comes forward. Right. Like, I hope you were very honest and you told her everything. And, like, I just, like, start thinking of just, like, all the terrible things. And I feel the worst because, like, you know, Sheena is the one that's going to have to, like, deal with this. Even though obviously people are, like, on Brock, as they should, because, like, it's terrible. Like, the fact that she has to, like, deal with this. Like, she always, like, the thing about Sheena is, like, people, they, they feel so type of way about her. Like, they'll always attach things. Like, I think that people will show up with Rubik's Cubes at places, you know now just because. You know what I'm saying? Just because.
- [27:49]
Ben Mandelker
Just. Just to clarify that Sheena explained that she's like, I was so in shock, I wanted to scream, but Summer Moon was sleeping. I didn't wake. I want to wake up Summer Moon. So I walked away, and then I came back and I slapped him across the face and I threw a Rubik's cube at him, but he dodged it. I was like, of course, the most. The most hurt. Like, I'm just imagining the scene in the Godfather where Talia Shire, like, destroys all the plates in the house when she finds out about, like, Sunny's infidelity. But then Sheena's version is, I, I threw a Rubik's Cube and that settled that.
- [28:18]
Dorinda Medley
Yeah. But it's like, now, you know, because you go back now, because I think Bravo Investigator has been, like, you know, kind of replaying scenes from, like, season 11 now with a different lens, knowing this. And it is. It is now interesting to kind of go back to Vanderpump Rules and see, because there were, like, arguments that Sheena and Brock were having that you felt were like, this doesn't feel like a real argument. And you realize, oh, that's because there was this whole other layer that none of us even knew about.
- [28:44]
Ben Mandelker
That's right, they did. Yeah. Well, because it was. I'm trying to remember when. So the season. God, it's hard. It's all a blur. This was like before. Like, the season where he cheated was before Scandal. Right. I should know this because I actually just read Sheena's.
- [28:59]
Dorinda Medley
Yeah. It said. I guess it happened during COVID Right. So they had felt like it happened during COVID while she was pregnant, and then. Yeah. By the time they came back for season nine or ten, they had already. She had already had Summer Moon. Yeah. So it had to have happened before that. And then season 11 was when he told her, I think right before season 11, is that. I think that's the something.
- [29:24]
Ben Mandelker
I think that's what it was. I. I don't know. I. You know, it's like, I. It's like, I feel bad for Sheena, but she's also, like, she just basically launched this right into the press. Like, so I am going on to Chelsea devontez's podcast, which you did, but also Gloria's Trash.
- [29:40]
Dorinda Medley
Yeah.
- [29:41]
Ben Mandelker
And that podcast all about talking about celebrity, you know, memoirs, etc. And so I was recruited for Sheena's, which is coming out next week. And there was a chapter towards the end of the galley that we had that was like, you.
- [29:55]
Dorinda Medley
We.
- [29:56]
Ben Mandelker
We were not given a chapter. It said, the truth shall be revealed. And so I was trying to guess what it was, but I did not think it. That. I thought. I thought it was good. I thought it'd be something about Scandal or the Masked Singer, but it was this. It was this. This bombshell revelation. So she, like, went out of her way to, like, not only, like, withhold it, but to make sure it had as big of, like, a splash as possible. And you know what? She should, because she's trying to sell those books. Like, that's what it is. But, like, you know, Sheena always winds up in these. In these shitstorms. But, like, she's also like, the shitstorms are like, you know, they're Funding. They're. They're. The shitstorms are with intention, you know?
- [30:33]
Dorinda Medley
No, like, that's why, honestly, like, I, I. When I look at how she's able to sort of, like, stay relevant, market herself, like, I think it's actually genius. I think it's, like, a smart way to do it. And, like, she's gonna have haters. She's gonna have people who love her, and then, like. But, like, she just. She's just good at what she does. And I think that, like, I can't not. I don't. I don't ever knock anyone's hustle. Like, you know, like, if you're good at what you do, I respect it.
- [31:01]
Ben Mandelker
Yeah. She goes for it. Yeah. Her. Her autobiography, which I think. Do you. You read it also, as.
- [31:07]
Dorinda Medley
Yeah.
- [31:07]
Ben Mandelker
Did you get a galley? It's really. It's really something. It's really something special. I really highly recommend it to everyone to read because I say that, like, if you.
- [31:15]
Dorinda Medley
For me, because I am like a pop culture. Like, I have grown up. It's all. I, Like, I wanted to go to LA when I was a kid, and just, like, you know, the whole, like, when. When TMZ was literally called 30 mile zone, you know, like, I was like, that person. I was like. It was so, so cool then the fact that she was there during that time, and you get to hear all the stories of her in that time, and she's. She's a hot young girl in. In that time. Like, I. My experience would have been different during that time because I wouldn't have been a hot white girl during that time.
- [31:43]
Ben Mandelker
Like, you know, I was here during that time, and I can tell you my experience was very different as well. I was awkward, closeted gay man. And I had a very different experience, but it was kind of amazing. You know, she tells stories. Stories, like, very sort of, like, surface level stories about, like. And then I went to Joseph's nightclub, and it was, like, really fun. I would go in there and I met up with a friend, and then she was, like, really nice. Started working at, like, a cigar club. And, like, we just had, like, a really fun time together because I'm such a people pleaser. Like, every chapter just ends with her announcing that she's a people pleaser, which is not unlike the TV show. How do you feel, by the way? How do you feel about Sheena's presence on the Valley this season? Because a lot of people are like, get her out of there. No Sheena on the Valley.
- [32:25]
Dorinda Medley
No, I mean, like, I think that. That it's so, like, in scenes that make sense, she's connected. There would be no reason she wouldn't be at certain of these parties because she's legitimately friends with these people. So it actually be kind of weird if she wasn't showing up to some of these parties. And so I think it makes sense. And honestly, like, she's always going to say the thing that keeps it moving. It's like she just says just enough to be like. Because the fact that, like, Jesse's girlfriend even told her that story that she was able to relay and I. I always say to her, like, I don't know what your magic potion is, that people just tell you things, but please, I want it because people just, like, they just spill the beans or something about her, that she gets people comfortable and they just start telling her things.
- [33:07]
Ben Mandelker
She is very disarming. I will say. Speaking of the Valley, the Valley is white hot right now. It is. Is like compelling, compelling tv. What are your thoughts on this season? And also, someone was like, kiki has to explain. Fan it. So do you want to explain what needs to be explained?
- [33:26]
Dorinda Medley
You know, it's so funny because I feel like I explain it, but I. I feel like the minute I say that I'm. I am friends with Janet, they. They stop listening. So I, like, I can't go on. I guess I should start.
- [33:38]
Ben Mandelker
This is over. Crappy hour is over. We're canceling it.
- [33:42]
Dorinda Medley
I'm loving the Valley. Is it very dark and heavy? Yes. And are there things where I just, like, like, obviously recoil and cringe at. Absolutely. Do I. Am I a Janet apologist? By no means. But that said, I think Janet herself would admit, like, she looks at it and says, like, oh, my God, I can't believe I did that. Like, I, you know, like, I can't speak for her, but I have to imagine she looks at it and is like, this is not cool. Here's the thing about me. And I feel like you could kind of. I'm not going to throw you in this bed, but I feel like you could say this.
- [34:19]
Ben Mandelker
Please do. I would love to be thrown into something.
- [34:21]
Dorinda Medley
So, like, you know that you've met people in real life and you've seen them on shows and the two people don't align always.
- [34:33]
Ben Mandelker
Yeah.
- [34:34]
Dorinda Medley
I have met people that I see online. Everyone's like, my fave. This person's. She's a queen. All this stuff. And I've met them in person and. And they were assholes. Okay. I always take, like, how people Treat me personally. That's how I. Unless you do me wrong, I have no reason to say that. So in this case, the Janet that I see on screen is not the person that I meet, like when we hang out is not. That's the person I know. So until she does me personally wrong, I'm not going to say the stuff she does on screen should change my opinion of her. Because again, I've seen people who are on screen are like the nicest pie and in my face have been total dicks, you know, so I'm kind of like, I know that this is like the magic of television. So until she does something. And I'm also, I would, I would love to have a friend like me. I'm a loyal ass friend. I'm a Sagittarius. I'm like, you know what? Like, if you're on death row, I'm gonna like, I'm gonna show up like, you might be put to death.
- [35:36]
Ben Mandelker
I won't do that. I'm a Sag. But I'm not going to do this. I'll be like, well, it was great knowing you. Like, so, by the way, do you have your house keys? Because do I have to water your plants? What? Do you have a plan for your plants? Like, I'm not going to be Susan Sarandon sitting there against the glass, putting my fingers up and being like, no, that's a nice 30 year old reference to dead man walking. But I agree. I've definitely found that there is like an interesting dichotomy I am, am privileged to. This is a case where I actually don't know Janet. And so I can actually form my opinion purely off of tv, which is always fun to be able to do. And I don't hate Janet as much as everyone else does. I think she's like a really fun villain. And I just think that like anyone who is like a fun villain, I always sort of secretly like, because I enjoy villainy. And I think that villainy has a place on Bravo shows. And people get so mad, and they should, because we need our villains. And I. And like, without our villains, our shows fall flat. Hello, Roni Reboot. So, like, I. So I like Janet in the way that she's like a villain for us. And I just like her as this kind of like plain Jane villain that just comes into our lives, all intentions. This beige villain who comes in and drives everyone nuts. I think that's such an amazing phenomenon. So I'm like, I mean, I'm happy with it. I'm happy with Janet, the state of. The state of the villainy. And someone in the comments here said something which I really like, which is she said, kiki can like Janet. I refuse to. And I think that's what it's all about. When you watch these shows, I think, like. Like, we're allowed to like different people and hate different people. And, like, it's about, like, you know, having fun with that. That, like, that gap and, like, try and picking your sides and just, you know, like, as long as you don't take it too seriously. Right.
- [37:24]
Dorinda Medley
Yeah. No, that's the thing. Like, I. I like my favorite part when I'm on Reality Checked is when callers call in and absolutely dis. Like, it's more fun that way. I just, like, you know, believe it or not, my feelings get hurt very easily. Like, as, like, you're forced to, like, have this sort of, like, Persona of, like, I work in media. Like, I can't let anything. But I get my feelings for hurt very easily. I don't care if you disagree with me. And I love that when we disagree. I hate when you, like, discount. My whole, like, reputation and personality is like, you don't know what you're talking about. And I don't even know why I listen to you if. Because if you like that girl, girl, then you must not know anything about anything. I'm like, what? Because of what? Of one disagreement we have, all of a sudden, all of my experience goes out the window.
- [38:08]
Ben Mandelker
Yeah. And also the thing is, like, if people change their minds because, like, people may hate Janet this season and the next season, people say, you know what? I kind of like Janet. I think she's kind of, like, funny and, like, that's cool too, by the way. And you're totally allowed to do that. But, like, if there's someone that I like kind of secretly, like, and. Or I enjoy on the show or whatever, or especially if I know them, them, and then I kind of, like, cater to what other people say because other people hate them. And then you. Especially if you know them, and then you might actually kind of burn a personal relationship. And then all of a sudden the audience is like, next season likes the person. And then you've now burned a relationship and, you know, like, like, like that's kind of as a bummer. So, like, you should just stand in your truth, regardless of what everyone says. And again, I think that's, like, the fun part. I mean, Love island just wrapped up. And so much of Love island is, like, picking your favorites and going with it. And you Know, over the past few episodes here on Krappins, while Ronnie's been away, some of our guests have been. Have been very pro ace and I'm very anti Ace and people are upset. People are like, really upset that, like, that, like there's like, oh, my God, how could you bring on a pro ace person? But I'm like, this is the fun, like this is the fun of reality TV is like going back and forth and like figuring it all out. You know, it is.
- [39:19]
Dorinda Medley
I don't even know. Again, my. I didn't watch Love island, but my producer would just do recaps, which I felt like I watched the whole thing. But everything I knew about Ace, I was. I don't like that guy.
- [39:29]
Ben Mandelker
Yeah, no, I can't stand him. For the record. I can't stand him. Can't stand this guy. So, by the way, so now going on to something else entirely, but like sort of in the same realm of where we're talking about. Did you hear that there's a new Beverly Hills cast member or rumored. I don't know if it's like rumored, confirmed or whatever, but we have a newbie that was, I think spotted filming with everyone in Sedona, Arizona.
- [39:54]
Dorinda Medley
Yeah, I saw that. You know, I never know what to believe because I'm always like, also, people could just sometimes show up on trips. It doesn't mean they're necessarily a full time cast member, but you know.
- [40:03]
Ben Mandelker
Yeah. This is Christine Blackman, who is Kyle Richards friend. How do you feel about this? Where do you stand on Kyle Richards, by the way? Are you like pro Kyle? Are you anti Kyle? Does it make you excited that Kyle has a friend or does it make you angry that she has back. Back up?
- [40:19]
Dorinda Medley
Okay, so not to make this. I don't want to turn everything into a long story, but I have a background story, so you have to my reasoning, do it. I've gone back and forth with Kyle because this show's been on so long. Like, I loved Kyle when she came on. When Brandy came on though, and her and. And Kim bullied her, I was like, I hate the Richard sisters. Screw them. You know, like, whatever, whatever. And then recently I've just kind of like, she's like the longest running housewife. She's there and I, I don't know, like, I don't know if I had a feeling point. I get invited to this event where it's at the Beverly Hills Hotel, and I'm told it's a very small event and they invited maybe like eight influencers and they say we're going to be watching an episode of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills with one of the Beverly Hills housewives. And I was like, oh, how fun. In the Beverly Hills Hotel. Great, whatever. Now I work in media, so I got the screener of the episode. So I was like, let me watch it before because I had to go on air the next day and I knew if we watched it in a group, I would wouldn't be paying attention. So I was like, let me watch the episode before I get to the hotel so I can know what happens. Yes, I watch the hotel. It's the episode where we find out Kyle's friend had died by suicide. So I was like, oh my gosh. I was like, this is crazy.
- [41:25]
Ben Mandelker
Why would they make this the watch party? Okay, go on.
- [41:28]
Dorinda Medley
I don't know if it had just been pre planned or whatever and they didn't know what episode it was going to be. So I, so I immediately go, well, clearly Kyle is not going to be the housewife, because that would be crazy, right? Get to the hotel. Who shows up? Kyle. I literally, my heart sinks because I'm like, we are gonna have to watch this episode together. But she comes in and she didn't even know it was going to be that episode. And so she says to us, she's like, you know, I just watched the episode and I just found out. Anyways, all I'm gonna say is like, we watched the episode together, you know, the eight, ten of us in the room. Like she had her friend, you know, we're crying, we're like. Anyways, it felt like a very healing moment. She probably doesn't even know my name. But what I'm saying is in that moment, I feel like anybody else would have just canceled the night. The fact that she stayed and watched this with us with some strange. Eight strange influencers who. She had no idea. It made me, I don't know, it changed my opinion of her because again, I think that she could have easily said, I gotta go.
- [42:26]
Ben Mandelker
Right? She kept her obligation to you guys, which was, I guess that is commendable. Or it's just speaks to Kyle's, you know, like her dedication to controlling the narrative of her story. But I think, you know, I know what you're saying. I think that is actually, you know, that's, that's a tough one to watch with, like, with, with quote unquote, the bloggers.
- [42:50]
Dorinda Medley
The bloggers.
- [42:51]
Ben Mandelker
To beware of. Beware of the bloggers. That's the big story in Orange county these days. Did you like the premiere, by the way, of Orange County.
- [42:59]
Dorinda Medley
I did. I think there was like, a lot, like, I think, like, people who don't spend a lot of time chronically online, like we probably do maybe needed a little bit of like, a catch up to be like, what's happening? But I felt like we can cut. We kind of got through that and I hopefully will move through the rest of the season, you know?
- [43:14]
Ben Mandelker
Yeah, yeah. There was, like, a little bit of whiplash as I was, like, trying because it was like, three different, like, scandals happening with, like, bloggers and podcasters who seem to be content creators, who seem to all just be lumped into this category of bloggers. But I was like, okay, but I love that. I feel like Broadway Bravo didn't actually really promote Orange county its return very strongly, which is just surprising to me. I just felt like I saw so much stuff for McBee and like, nothing for Miami, nothing for O.C. and I just need, like, Bravo to remember where. Where the. Where the milk. The cow is. What is it? Where the milk is milked.
- [43:51]
Dorinda Medley
The promotion behind has been very, very heavy.
- [43:55]
Ben Mandelker
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, way too heavy, I think, think. But anyway, going back to Beverly Hills, did you. Did you see this crazy rumor that has been shot down? But in my mind, I'm still holding out hope that it actually is true about Faye Resnick and Jennifer Tilly?
- [44:11]
Dorinda Medley
Yes, I know. I hope it's true, too.
- [44:16]
Ben Mandelker
So do you want to tell people what you've. What you've heard about the rumor, etc.
- [44:20]
Dorinda Medley
The rumor is that supposedly Jennifer Tilly and Fay Resn get into it to a point where Jennifer Tilly smash, smashes a glass. And I don't remember the exact line. She says something about like, you don't know who you're messing with. What was the line?
- [44:36]
Ben Mandelker
Yeah, it was like, it was like, you don't know who you're messing with, Resnick or something like that.
- [44:42]
Dorinda Medley
Which, when you hear that, like, can I hear Jennifer Tilly doing that? Absolutely. As a joke, like, where they're somewhere, you know, and like, they have some fun and it's like a fun thing that happens. I can't imagine her ever doing that. That as a serious thing.
- [44:58]
Ben Mandelker
I know I can't. And they both came out, like, relatively quickly and were like, no, like, we love each other. We, like. I can't think of someone better in the world, which, you know, I don't know if that's true, but they both, like, we did not get into a fight. And I'm like, you know, what like maybe like take like we all got excited by it, so maybe consider it. The season is not done. I, you know, like be open, be open to getting into an altercation because I think I would really enjoy a Tilly vs Resnick fight because that's the thing.
- [45:28]
Dorinda Medley
Like, there's a lot, there are some accounts who just post full on lies, like just for clicks, like, and you know, right away. Sometimes though, there is a truth to it, but it's not in the way that we have heard it. Like it's been a game of telephone. So like obviously the cast members don't want storylines spilled because it makes the season more fun anyway. So it's like if there was an event where something like that happened, been, let's just see if it plays out because it could just be like, it could have been a joke and like, you know, who knows what it could have been.
- [45:59]
Ben Mandelker
Yeah, I, yeah, someone in the comments just said we'll never see drama like that on Beverly Hills again. I mean, I, I, I, yeah, that's probably true. I mean, you know, the days of Rinna smashing that glass in Amsterdam was pretty epic. I would love to have a, a big dramatic moment like that again on Beverly Hills. But they really are, they are so they just operate in such a, such a mannerly way, like quote unquote mannerly way, even when they are yelling at each other like, you're not going to get, you're not going to get that moment on that, on that franchise. You'll get it on Salt Lake, you'll get on Miami and you'll get on Orange County.
- [46:36]
Dorinda Medley
I think, yeah, they're too polished and curated. Like, this is why we get sort of like, like when we go into these little, you know, the Mormon wives or we go into these other towns where people are just kind of like, I'm willing to be on TV and I'm willing to do what it takes to be on tv and they, you know, they don't have a team yet. You know, we'll get that.
- [46:56]
Ben Mandelker
Yeah, I know, I know. It's like, it just would be so fun to see that in Beverly Hills again. But it's gonna be a while. What do you think about Rachel Zo coming onto the cast?
- [47:05]
Dorinda Medley
You know, I think it's exciting for the, the viewers. So I'm excited for that. You know, I think people who have been watching Bravo as long as we have, like, we just, just know the history of her. So I think we're excited to see and obviously the drama of like, you know, Dorit being the only one she allegedly doesn't follow. And, like, the fact that the two of them could have beef is kind of like, I'm. I'm into that.
- [47:27]
Ben Mandelker
Yeah. I think it'd be fun if they just brought back all the, like 2000s era Bravo stars like Jonathan Anton, maybe Kelly Patron. I don't know if they can work Paul Abdul in there in any way that sense. Makes. Makes sense. But, like, there's a lot of people from around 2004 or 5 on Bravo that we could, like, get into the mix, you know, get. Some people forget, like, what's her face from Charlie's Angels because she was the host of Sheer Genius. Like that everyone's. Everyone's a candidate, you know, for Beverly Hills.
- [47:53]
Dorinda Medley
Right. Like, I would. Yeah, I would love to see a hodgepodge of those old school. Like, just any of them come back. It would be amazing.
- [48:00]
Ben Mandelker
Yeah, Tabitha. Just add Tabitha into the mix.
- [48:03]
Dorinda Medley
The best.
- [48:06]
Ben Mandelker
Speaking of, I have no good transition for this. Just to say Miami is always doing so well. Like, in terms of as a franchise. We have a new cast member, Stephanie. What do you think about Stephanie? And did you see a little. There was a minor dust up about her. She had a clapback on Instagram against the user today. Did you see any of that?
- [48:29]
Dorinda Medley
I saw. I just saw some people. Like, I saw people were screenshotting. She. I guess she did a Q and A or AMA or whatever. And like, like, I just had Stephanie on Reality Checked and Dorinda, because even Dorinda. So Dorinda was like, I don't know how I'm gonna feel about her, but we have her on the show and Dorina was like, oh, you know, I kind of like her. But then sort of stories started coming out and she was kind of like, huh. Is there any truth to that? I will say, like, she was lovely. Like, she's fun. She was like spilling tea, which, you know, they made us kind of not get rid of because she was spilling too much tea.
- [49:00]
Ben Mandelker
Too much tea around.
- [49:02]
Dorinda Medley
But, you know, like, I thought she was really fun. Like, she's super young. She read older on screen to me. But she's like, obviously super young.
- [49:10]
Ben Mandelker
But look, maybe that's because she dresses like Jackie. Oh, she has like a little Chanel suit, you know.

But if. If his ex wife and the daughters start coming out and they do start speaking to the blogs, like, about their stories, I don't know, it might be a rough ride because I don't, you know, whatever history is happening mean, there's.

Just no way that these, these people are going to have a real house as a Miami career. And all these skeletons are not going to come surfacing. I mean, if you're working in real estate, there are going to be lawsuits, there's going to be complaints, there's going to be like, oh, they owe debt. It's just like, we just see it, we know it. And she talks so much about money and how and business, business, business. And she's powerful and I love business that you just know the bottom's gonna fall out. And I'm really excited for that. But I'm also excited for the pre bottom falling out because I think, I think she's like perfectly obnoxious and I like that she's kind of bossy and I love that she laid into Lisa. Yeah. But so the, the, the small dust up is that on her story, someone she put on, on Instagram, she said like, ask, you know, ask or tell me something with a heart. And someone goes, you slept your way up, up. So she responded by making a story where she said, if sleeping your way way up worked, you'd be on top too. So what happened? Because by the looks of your profile, you slept yourself to the Walmart clearance aisle. Not a good look to go after the, after the viewers.

Harken back to old school days. I mean, Rihanna used to pop off on Twitter like, like, we loved that. It was amazing. And so like, I don't mind when a new housewife goes off, but I do when I see a new housewife show up with a private plane, I always go because yeah, I just, I, I, we've seen too much fake wealth where I'm just like, I don't want this to come fight you, like, just don't show the private planes. And also we know there's currently an IRS division dedicated to real housewives watching. They're counting your dollars. Like, I would just be terrified to show up at the Private Blade.

Be careful. Also on Miami, another controversy is comes from Martina Navrata Lova. Who, you know this lady, she's like, you know, I don't want Julia to be the only one with a villain edit this season. Clearly let me be part of this. So she tweeted she like regramp something about egg donations. And she tweeted, surrogacy is just wrong sometimes. You can't have it all. This is. Well, not only is that wrong, but like, really you're going to be the one to do this. While you've dragged us through an adoption storyline, both human and goat for like, two years. I don't want to hear it. I don't like. No, you should support your. Your fellow families that are trying to have a child through surrogacy. I think it's obviously totally fine. And I don't know why she decided to have this hot take out of nowhere, especially when so much of her storyline is about building up a family.

The way I have turned on Julia and Martina in the last, like, few weeks, I'm just like, I feel like they are now elitist who believe that, like, I can have this. But, like, what are you doing? Like, look at. Looking down on people and like, how dare you? And I definitely was. Had the worst taste in my mouth when this last episode, they put up pictures of their adopted black sons that sent me into a place of like, what are we doing here? Because you were so private about it. Now you're showing them off like they didn't. Yeah, I don't know. I just. Everything about it gave me a bad taste. But then on top of it, like, essentially your boss, let's be. Face it, Andy Cohen is your boss and you're gonna say it's not for everyone. Okay, well, I hope you enjoy not having a job next year because. What? No, gross.
- [53:14]
Ben Mandelker
Yeah, yeah, exactly. And as Mallory points out in the comments, Martina also has a history of being anti trans as well, which has come out over the past few years. So, like, like Martinez, hot takes. You know, maybe we don't need them as much anymore ever again.
- [53:30]
Dorinda Medley
No, I don't.
- [53:31]
Ben Mandelker
I am. Yeah. I used to love these two on. On the show. And the Julia, in terms of Julia, I think that she got the bug where she was like. I think I'm. She's like on the chopping block, so she's gonna do some outrageous stuff. And she did. She went. She did it wrong. She did it all wrong. Wrong. And now the audience has turned on her. Totally.
- [53:53]
Dorinda Medley
Yeah. As they, like, rightfully so. Like, I literally. I'm like, there's no. I. I'm trying to see any. Any possible. No, there's just no redemption here. And yeah, like, whatever happening is what's happening on screen and also what's happening in real time. I'm like, I've just lost all.
- [54:12]
Ben Mandelker
Yeah, yeah, exactly. So right now, now it is time to turn things over to the audience. And what we usually do here is that we. We stop the. The audio recording, but we keep the YouTube going, I believe. I think that's how it goes. Ronnie normally controls this part, so I'm excited. I'm controlling the controlling operations. So to everyone who is listening on the Krappens feed, thank you so much for listening. Thank you, Kiki, for being here. Although you're going to stay on with us here after this audio portion is done. And remember, we do crappy hour every two weeks. So if you missed it, come join us on YouTube or on an Instagram that we do Mondays. So our next one will be in whenever is 14 days from the 28th. I think that's what it would be. And happy Bastille Day, by the way. Happy July 14th.
