Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Exclusive Interview with Kyle Richards
On Sunday I posted my interview with Brandi Glanville. Brandi told me that the Beverly Hills housewives got together before filming the reunion and discussed a planned attack on Lisa Vanderpump. Brandi said that she refused to join them.
You can read the interview with Brandi Glanville here: http://wp.me/p1Knfy-15H
Kyle Richards adamantly denies that any meeting ever took place and after reading Brandi’s story here she sent me two private DM’s on Twitter:
KyleRichards18 Hi Lynn, I don’t usually respond to rumors but I had to address what Brandi said re planned attack on Lisa. That is 100% NOT TRUE!!
KyleRichards18 Lisa is my friend and I care about her. We have had our moments like any friends. I have to wonder why Brandi would make that up
I responded with my email address and my phone number and asked Kyle if she would talk to me about this, she called me last night as I was driving home from work. I hadn’t pre-planned any questions and had no way to take notes while driving but I found her to be open and honest, she answered all of my questions during the short conversation:
“On my children’s life, that never happened!” Kyle told me, “We would never do that to Lisa, can you imagine how hurt she would be? She’s my friend.” I asked if there was any discussion of any kind, any where before the reunion to discuss what would be said, Kyle said “No, absolutely not, no meeting ever took place, nothing like that!”
I asked Kyle if she thought watching it as objectively as she can, did she think it looked like they were all picking on Lisa?
“If you’re looking for it, then that is what you will see.” Kyle said, “when that’s what you have heard in advance, then you’re looking for it to happen but no, not really.”
Kyle went on to say, “You’re asked in-depth questions and you’re expected to answer, I’m always honest, that is one thing you should know about me, I have always been truthful and I am an honest person.”
I asked Kyle why she thought Brandi would say something like that if it wasn’t true. ”I 
really don’t know” Kyle told me, just as Brandi did that things were improving between the two women, “I invited her to my White Party, we were ok” Kyle also agreed with Brandi that the reunion brings out all the old arguments and re-opens all old wounds. While things had improved, the reunion forces you to hash it all out again.
Kyle talked about her appearance on Watch What Happens Live with her husband Mauricio. ”We really weren’t trying to hurt Brandi. My husband really had no choice when asked who his least favorite Housewife is, he struggled with the question for a long time, all of the other ladies are our dear friends, we all hang out together, we really are friends. Who was he going to choose?” I told Kyle that Brandi thought that Mauricio chose her because he had to choose the one his wife disliked, “No way! It had nothing to do with me, Mauricio adores Camille, Lisa, Adrienne and Taylor and what was he going to do, choose me or my sister?” Kyle said, “Of course he can’t choose my sister.” she laughed.
I asked Kyle if she thought that Adrienne was being petty by bringing up Lisa’s comments about her dog and her shoes. ”Yes! Sure! It’s all petty, we’re all mothers, we have children, sure it’s all petty but we’re asked these questions and we’re expected to answer them honestly”. Kyle told me.
Kyle went on to explain, “We live it once, then we have to re-live it again at the reunion. Then we live it a third time when the reunion airs, then the many, many rerun’s. It’s never-ending.” I asked Kyle about filming the reunion, “We started filming at around 10am and it went on for hours, it was a really long, exhausting day.”
I asked Kyle how Kim was doing, “She’s doing great, thanks for asking. We’re very proud of her.” I asked Kyle if Kim was done with her boyfriend, Ken for good. ”Yes, hopefully for good, it’s no secret that I don’t like him”. I had to agree with her in hoping Kim was finished with Ken for good!
I asked Kyle if she thought that Lisa was ever paid for a story by RadarOnLine or any 
other media outlet, “No, I really don’t” Kyle said. ”I’ve dealt with the press for most of my life, I am pretty knowledgable about how they operate.” (for the record RadarOnLine confirmed they’ve never paid Lisa for any story)
Kyle didn’t defend anyone else nor did she throw anyone under the bus, she spoke only for herself and didn’t pretend to speak for any of the other ladies. It wasn’t a long conversation and it was not planned in advance, when Kyle reached out to me I wasn’t sure if she would agree to talk with me but I was pleasantly surprised that she called to offer her side of the story.
I hope to get a full interview with Kyle in the future, and promise to be better prepared, there are obviously a lot of questions that I would love to ask her, this was really just Kyle’s opportunity to tell her side of the reunion story.

More Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
In the meantime Camille had a few choice words for some Twitter followers last night a Twitter friend got the following private DM from Camille Grammer:
TheRealCamilleG “Lisa never wanted Brandi on the show. You don’t know anything.”
What prompted this? Well let’s see…
A Viewer TO: @AdrienneMaloof @TheRealCamilleG ”hearing” something doesn’t make it true and certainly isn’t right to say in front of millions of viewers.
TheRealCamilleG @AdrienneMaloof How do u know if it’s not true?
A Viewer to: @TheRealCamilleG probably should hve discussed it privately w/Lisa instead of in front of an audience. How would u have felt if u were her?
TheRealCamilleG I understand. But I didn’t accuse her… I just stated what was said to me.
A Viewer to: @TheRealCamilleG my pt is that u need to get your facts straight,before u decide 2 validate Adriennes BS
TheRealCamilleG Do you really know all of the facts?
And that is what lead to the original private DM that Camille sent:
TheRealCAmilleG ”Lisa never wanted Brandi on the show. You don’t know anything.”
WOW, this is pretty powerful particularly since no one was talking about Brandi, they were discussing the accusation that Lisa sells stories to tabloids. Why would Camille bring up Brandi if not to turn this viewer against Lisa?
A viewer asked Camille: @TheRealCamilleG Why dont you like Lisa?! 
.
@TheRealCamilleG I like all of the ladies
Is anyone else sensing that Camille doesn’t like Lisa? I sure am!
Adrienne got into the Twitter follies:
AdrienneMaloof Thank you for your support, I know what@TheRealCamilleG and I were told. Moving fwd in a positive direction! xoA #RHOBH
Adrienne’s “let’s move on” attempt Tweet didn’t work very well….she had dozens of responses, here are a few:
@AdrienneMaloof So now that radaronline said @LisaVanderpumpwas never paid for any stories, how seriously stupid do u feel?
(Lisa re-tweeted that one! haha)
@AdrienneMaloof @TheRealCamilleG I’m 26 & even I know you can’t believe everything you’re told. C’mon girls, let’s be grown… #RHOBH
@AdrienneMaloof I know u were told it, but should have goneto Lisa &asked her, like u say she should have done withthe party. Before accusing.
@AdrienneMaloof could have had enough class to go to @LisaVanderpump privately and not on nat. TV. Or, had a little faith in your “friend.”
People aren’t letting Adrienne off the hook at all! For Camille and Adrienne to say on National television that Lisa sells stories to tabloids is pretty hurtful. Worse than that was Adrienne’s response that she didn’t believe Lisa and she called Lisa a liar. Not nice! Particularly now that we know for sure that it’s not true as RadarOnLine confirmed Lisa’s side of the story. Should Adrienne apologize to Lisa publically?
AdrienneMaloof thank you for your support, I really don’t have time for their pettyness, so many more important things to worry about in the world
This kind of thing makes me crazy! Obviously the world is full of many more important things to worry about but we’re talking about THIS now and it was apparently important enough for Adrienne to go on the show, film all of this “pettyness” and rehash it at the reunion including attacking Lisa and calling her a liar then collecting a paycheck for her
trouble.
When these women try to deflect with “there are more important things in the world” it really pisses me off! It’s an insult to everyone who watches the show and discusses it afterward, this “pettyness” is what your paycheck from Bravo is built on Adrienne!!!
Both Adrienne and her husband Paul then began to Tweet about their children, this is another sly attempt at deflecting from the matter at hand, I’m sure that they believe that if they mention their children, people will back off. So transparent since they have so rarely Tweeted anything about their kids … until now.
Lisa’s maintained her dignity, she responded to her daughter Pandora who AGAIN explained that she planned her own Bachelorette party:
PandoraVT I’m sick of this. Why should my mother@LisaVanderpump, who never does anything to hurt anyone, be punished for my choice of bachelorette?
LisaVanderpump to: @PandoraVT don’t get involved! Thank you but don’t.
Lisa continues to be a class act in my book!
Thank you once again to Kyle Richards for taking the time to talk with me, I do appreciate it.
Until Next Time…
Great get Lynn! Congrats!
Nothing but Kyle trying to cover her a@@ again. She never ONCE came to Lisa’s defense and Lisa has defended her sooooo many times. She needs to take a long hard look at herself. If she could adress her jealousy issues she would be the likeable person everyone loved Season 1. She has shown no loyalty to Lisa, she couldn’t even own her “Lisa preys on the weak” comment and frankly Taylor is no shrinking violet so IDK how Kyle is so snowed.
You’all are going to be so surprise when Brandi true self comes out. Do you think it is a accident that Brandi friend is a alcohol and drug rehab worker from DR.DREW, I believe Brandi found out as much as she could about these women their weak spots like Lisa and Cedric, Kim having a problem with alcohol and use it against them the reason Kyle didn’t like Brandi at first was because she was looking out for Lisa because Brandi was friends with Cedric and fyi after the reunion they all went to Lisa restaurant so they are true friends and Brandi is wiggleing her way in to play them against each other why you all can’t see this but it will come out,what goes around comes around I hope Bravo producer didn’t plant these things for drama,Cedric,rehab expert,ex-girlfriends of Paul and Eddie and Brandi acting like she didn’t know this???????? THINK
Nah, to far fetched
Ditto.
I agree with you beth Kyle, Adreinne went after Lisa and yes this was a plan attack with Kyle first with some childish mess then Adreinne with them made up lies, Camilie did not join in the attack she only comfirm heresay that Adreinne probably directed her way..Lets not forget Adreinne was the one who introduce Brandi to the girls this was a attack also, Adreinne thought Lisa and Brandi would not get along because of Cedric..this to back fired and Lisa and Brandi became friends..dont yall get it the same thimg happen on the real housewives of atlanta Sharee and Phadra push for Marlo to be on the show thinking Marlo and Nene would get into it over Charles,and when this did not happen that’s when they had a problem with Marlo…Adrennie was all supportive and buddy buddy with Brandi in the beginning when the others was treating her bad but when Lisa and Brandi became close that when Adreinne start to act shady..this is my opinion.
I tend to think Brandi is telling hte truth. When dont these women plan thier attacks. They planned to kick out Russell and Taylor from the white party. They planned to confront Lisa at her tea party, then all but Taylor backed out, remember Taylor complaining she was told they were going to back her up. Also Kyle said she was going to back up Taylor at Brandi’s party with Camielle. Brandi happened to walk in on the discussion of the reunion with these women planning to discuss certain things about Lisa and back each other up. It was a planned attack. no matter how anyone wants to look at it. Its a matter of perception. Kyle perseves it to be a discussion, Brandi perseves it to be planning an attack. I guess its how we the viewer chooses to look at it. In any case it was two ganging up on one. Kyle and Adrianne, and that just stinks.
Thanks Lynn!!
My Opinion:
Kyle:
I don’t think they all had a secret meeting behind closed doors…..HOWever I don’t believe for ONE minute that Kyle and some of the other ladies discussed Lisa before the reunion. Taylor commented before everyone and stated such discussions took place about Lisa before. They all seemed to have talk about her behind her back. It’s one thing to be honest and another to be cruel. Kyle NEVER owns up to her behavior and instead reframes her comments to alter reality. She uses the word “maybe” and seems to remove herself from guilt by saying Lisa preys on the weak. How does using “maybe” deflect from the insult? Kyle has stood behind and defended Taylor on numerous occasions yet when it’s time to back up Lisa she claims to not want to be in the middle? She could have easily said at the reunion that she doesn’t believe Lisa sells stories instead of sitting there enjoying the view as Lisa was being attacked. She did the same thing at the tea party and the same thing at pauls office when she didn’t give lisa the heads up with Russells threatening to sue her. Lisa stuck up for Kyle at the reunion when fans went after Kyle for her treatment of Kim. Lisa didnt have to say a word as it was not her fight….but she did and had her back. Kyle wants lisa to own up to all these petty things, yet Kyle never owns up to her parts. She didn’t even apologize for the “prey on the weak comment” she excused herself and had an attitude when lisa was clearly hurt by it. Kyle seems to think she can hurt people and then gets shocked when they attack back. If i were Lisa and saw all the hurtful things a supposed friend said behind my back i would be pissed to. She was laughing at your splits because she had no idea what you said behind her back. At that time Lisa was oblivous so in her eyes Kyle could do no wrong….hence Lisa’s blind loyalty after game night. AFter many episodes of hurtful comments and outrage behavior i would surmise your desparate for attention too!!!
Do you think for a minute than when the reported lied to Adrienne or Camille about Lisa gets paid for stories they kept that information to themselves? Not, I’m sure they called each other to gossip about it.
I think I heard it as Adrienne say she got it from a friend (Taylor/Kyle) the information about Lisa getting paid by radaronline. This is what Taylor said at Kyle’s dinner. Taylor and Kyle told Adrienne. It’s as clear as can be.
I’m pretty sure Adrienne said that she heard it from a friend at RadarOnline. Camille agreed and even said the name a few times, but it was bleeped out.
correction….i meant I “DO” believe they other women discussed Lisa prior to the reunion….as Taylor stated such discussion took place before.
I whole heartily agree they decided to pick on Lisa before hand. Kyle does go out and say “yeah, I did that, but ….” then turns around and does it again . Either that or BRAVO set Lisa up so the ratings for her new show would be wicked.
ITA with ya Mel! It was already verified by Taylor that they were basically all setting Lisa up at the Tea Party and when they failed there all they did is tried it again at the reunion…Kyle sucks! I am soo happy my sister cancelled the order of Kyles book!
ITA, They may not have had a formal meeting to discuss how to go after Lisa, but they certainly gossiped about her before the reunion taped. I found it especially telling when Adrienne used her “Villa Caca” line. She looked toward Kyle and Taylor, covered her mouth, and looked embarrassed to say it. I would bet she got that line from her conversation with Kyle. That totally sounds like something she would say.
Thank you! I caught the “look” Adrienne gave to Kyle and Taylor when she used the “Villa Caca” insult. It was clear Adrienne pulled that out of a former gossip gang-up on Lisa, probably also involving Bernie the Vicious Chef. (Lisa, hope you are careful about eating anything he or his unprofessional culinary cohorts ever prepare.) The childish insult of “Villa Caca” is no comparison to a verbal squib like “Maloof hoof”–reference to Broadway hoofers/dancers, BTW.
Obviously Adrienne doesn’t have the intelligence to engage in repartee or was there with an agenda–or both. Bernie made it clear for months on his Facebook page that Adrienne was backstabbing Lisa for a long time.
The three witches’ body language betrayed them. Kyle, Taylor, and Adrienne were clearly an alliance on that couch, nit-picking Lisa, spreading gossip, and vilifying here. They only ended up looking like the mean girls they are.
I agree, Gal. I can see bringing up stuff that bothers you.
BUT THEN YOU ACCEPT THE APOLOGY. That’s where they were most vicious imo.
I don’t believe that Kyle’s chess comment about Lisa was spontaneous either. Kyle’s not sharp enough to come up with that in the moment.
Totally agree.
I agree completely. Kyle looks out for #1 with no regard to who gets hurt in the process. I haven’t been a fan of hers since the beginning and never understood why so many people thought she was so great. She’s been ugly to her sister, ugly to Camille, SO ugly to Brandi and now she’s moved on to Lisa. I wish they’d keep Kim and send Kyle and her creepy friend Taylor packing.
That is the best idea yet…to keep Kim and send Kyle and Taylor packing. It would be interesting to see the change in Kim if Kyle weren’t around to constantly badger her.
And the comment “we’re asked these questions and expected to answer them honestly” is bull.
If I heard things correctly Camille never agreed with Adrienne that Lisa sold stories. Camille simply said that Radar used the same tactic with her that they must have used with Adrienne. Radar told them “well Liza sells us stories” just to get storie from them. Camille saw through their attempt but obviously Adrienne fell for it. Adrienne hates Lisa, you can see it so clearly.
My problem with Camille statement is that she wasn’t firceful enough with her statement. She even hesitated to say it. This BS by the reporter buying stories was discussed by them Camille included – hence her hesitation to say anything.
I don’t get Camille. So what that Lisa didn’t want Brandi on the show? Probably none of them did at first, especially Lisa who maybe thought since Brandi knew Cedric that wouldn’t be a good thing for her. But Lisa gave Brandi and chance and ended up liking her. And it doesn’t matter to me if anyone got with anyone beforehand to plan what they were going to say at the reunion. The fact remains that Adrienne for the most part went after Lisa and Kyle just outed herself to be the dimwitted self-serving person she is. She was no friend to Lisa at the reunion part one. She can say what she wants about how she loves all of them. A true friend doesn’t do to Lisa what Adrienne and Kyle did. If Kyle says she didn’t believe that Lisa sold stories to Radaronline, why didn’t she speak up for Lisa at the Reunion? Why Kyle?
ITA – and Kyle saying that she answers “honestly” is a joke that no one is finding funny.
WCW, you are a Kyle fan! What happened?
CaaCaa happens! LOL
LMAO!
Camille halo is gone, horns are back!
I mentioned on another blog that I was watching a rerun of last season’s reunion and The Hoof and Camille were saying how they had socialized as couples when she and Kelsey were married. Add to the fact that Lisa never waivered in regards to the Camille/Kyle nonsense. Also, at the T-party there was a mention that Lisa wanted to be regarded as saintly and that is why she reached out to Traylor. She was reaching out to Camille when the divorce started getting ugly. I believe that these women, Lisa excluded, are so void of any depth that their shallowness cannot be measured. They don’t understand selflessness and therefore their little pea brains translate anyone acting in a selfless manor as something to be questioned.
I don’t think Lisa is perfect, who the hell is! but, she is definitely someone I would want in a foxhole with me.
Camille clarified her comment on twitter. It makes sense if you read the string. She also asked a follower for a link to THIS page.
Congrats Lynn!
Damage Control! It’s hard to believe anything Kyle says. We’ve seen her on TV for a couple of years on RHOBH now and on interviews, magazines, etc.
It’s sound like a desperate effort to change “the truth”. She tried that at the reunion explaining her “maybe Lisa preys on the weak” comment. It did not work. Kyle might think poorly of her viewers. We are not that naive. The attacks on Lisa were orchestrated. They sounded rehearsed. Perhaps, Lisa was always the topic of conversation when they got together – including Camille. Those comments were rehearsed. Know that!
I said it before and I say it again. I defended Kyle all of this time until I saw her on WWHL. What a disappointment she’s been. The minute she apologizes in public will be time to reconsider. Right now, this is not cutting it …
… And I also refuse to let Adrienne off the Hoof! She is just plain PHATHETIC!
Looks like Camille from Season one is back …
Kyle is full of it. I didn’t read what Brandi said until AFTER I watched the reunion and I could tell it was a set up by those three morons. Let’s face it: none of these women are good actresses (I’m looking at you, washed up child actress) and they can’t hide what they’re really up to. Sickening.
You can really tell that they had a previous discussion when Adrienne looks to the other women on the couch when she’s going to say “Villa Cacka”. She looks at them like “Should I say it?” It was all so contrived.
Completely agree with this. Their body language was a dead giveaway.
So let’s play the Semantic Argument gameshow with Kyle.
Adrienne did want to set up a meeting. Taylor is all in. Brandi said no. Kyle’s schedule didn’t allow it. Thus, no point in having it and Camille wasn’t asked.
Brandi is telling the truth. Kyle is telling the truth.
Nobody asked her if the Britchard, Hoof & Mouth correspponded via email. the question wasn’t asked correctly, so she can avoid the controversy.
Kyle is very well taught how to give an interview. She would never offer anything up.
I wish Lynn had notes to she could have asked her why she never told Lisa about the dinner conversation where Taylor and Russell discussed suing Lisa over what? Yes, selling stories to the tabloids.
I don’t believe Brandi made up the story.
Maybe a meeting was planned but never happened. Maybe Adrienne tried to arrange a meeting but it didn’t work out. Taylor implied at the tea party that a confrontation with Lisa was in the works.
I don’t think Camille dislikes Lisa. That doesn’t mean she agrees with everything Lisa says or does. At the reunion she said she was told that Lisa sells stories by the reporter trying to get Camille to sell a story. It seemed to me she recognized that as a ploy to get her to talk. One she didn’t fall for. It seems to me that Camille is trying to defend Adrienne as well as Lisa. I don’t think that will work out well for Camille.
It’s no surprise to me that Lisa didn’t want Brandi on the show. She thought Brandi was coming on to help Cedric hurt her. Once you got to know Brandi she accepted her.
yeah! i thought she was trying to say that RadarOnline was spreading the rumor to get the other wives to talk, not that lisa actually sold stories! i still like camille… you can tell she’s over it
Then she should have said, yeah, they told me that too, Lisa, BUT I DIDN’T FALL FOR IT BECAUSE I KNOW YOU WOULDN’T DO THAT. But she didn’t go that far, which was wishy washy at best. I don’t think Camille is that much nicer than she used to be, just smarter about keeping her mouth shut, most of the time.
The problem with Camille is that she’s scared sh*tless. She doesn’t have a back bone to say anything of fear of what happened last year. I really do think she’s just trying to stay neutral. What all these women (excluding Brandi and Lisa) are lacking is judgement of RIGHT and WRONG. There is absolutely nothing wrong in sticking up for one friend and going against another friend if the situation is WRONG. And there isn’t anything especially wrong with saying it to their faces. they are friends! It’s ok to do that. What’s not ok, is talking behind someone’s back. Which KAT love to do! Camille is just scared.
I think Camille is just pissed—if she got kicked off the show…
I think part of it is Camille laying low and making no sudden movements in an effort to not give Kelsey ANYTHING. I’m sure her season 1 performance did not play out well for her in the divorce proceedings.
True. They probably do get information from various people including Lisa but she never sold a story.
And who hasn’t wished after a big argument they’d said things differently.
Another thing I’ve noticed is after Lisa says something and someone misunderstands, they don’t hear her correction. That happens to me a lot so I can relate.
Thank you Lynn for sharing this interview with Kyle Richards.
Thanks Kyle for reaching out to Lynn.
My opinion about some of the HW’s having a get together to attack Lisa previous the Reunion is that I believe more Brandi than Kyle and that is my choice. Brandi has been more truthful than Kyle in the past.
It’s possible that Kyle is telling the truth as she sees it and not outright lying.
In my opinion she is very self centered. Her view is Lisa hurt me, not we hurt each other. Just as her view of game night was Brandi was mean to Kim and me, not Brandi said and did mean things after we started a fight with her.
Ding, that is it to a T! Kyle cannot smell what she is shoveling. She will “explain” herself by misstating facts and what she said. If there weren’t cameras there to prove her wrong, you might believe her, because she is so earnest. I think she might believe the lies she tells herself (like saying, I only said “MAYBE” you prey on the weak, it wasn’t a mean comment, you aren’t focusing on the “MAYBE”). I do appreciate Lynn interviewing her and reporting back here, but I don’t believe Kyle, she was doing nothing but attempting damage control.
She is one of those HW’s that believes that she is so freaking special and wonderful, and is aghast that the viewing public for some reason just can’t or won’t see that. Just like JZ.
“Maybe” comment, = “I did not have sexual relations with that woman”.
Kyle could be telling the truth – and the coordination went on through email.
Camille is right….I don’t think Lisa wanted Brandi on the show. Lisa even confirmed that she was hesitant about Brandi given her connection to Cedric. That is no big secret. I do think as time went on and Lisa got to know Brandi she sincerely liked her. So whats your point in saying that Camille?
Camille, ADrienne, Kyle, and Taylor have had it out for Lisa for a while. Lisa is british and her humor can be a bit harsh…but if you know anything about british humor you know thats how they roll. I think you have you are someone who is insecure….there is no way you can be friends with someone like Lisa. She is the stand out star of the show and given the petty, immature, and catty reasons that were stated for their attitude towards Lisa i would say they are super resentful that Lisa is a fan favorite. While Lisa is no angel and i am sure her snarkiness can be biting at times….i find this group of women sooo superficial and immature. They don’t like what lisa says….then when she apologizes….they don’t like her apology. Damned if you do damned if you dont. Its like you have to walk on egg shells to be friends with such a group. I hope Lisa distances herself for these bitches and continues to shine. I am sure she has real friends and don’t have to worry about these “fake” bevely hills friendships.
I don’t get Camille’s comment about Lisa not wanting Brandi on the show either. It was hardly a secret. Lisa let it be known how she felt and later went on to admit that she has misjudged her. What the problem with that? I’m sure we’ve all acted in a similar fashion at one time or another.
very good…blog!! i wonder, out loud, that the ladies plotted and planned to go after lisa after lisa was voted fan favorite last year? seems like the mo of a story arch that is repeated in reality tv.
Great job Lynn!
Since Kyle is so “honest” ok, there was no meeting….that doesn’t mean there wasn’t a conference call!!! I’m not stupid, you guys talked before the reunion and decided what to say. That Villa Caca comment was pure Kyle, she came up with that one. I can see it in my mind!!! So Kyle is just playing with semantics. She can be “honest” about no meeting because they didn’t actually “get together in person” BUT I will never believe they didn’t talk/text about it!!!!
Exactly!
Yesssss they plotted and planned on the phone and via text because they couldn’t arrange their busy schedules for an actual sitdown. I call CaaCaa on Kyle!
ITA!!! She is just manipulating words so they fit her objective.
Where’s the like button?!
I agree. Didnt everyone see Adrienne looking at Kyle for the OK with that comment?
Lynn, can you get a response from Brandi?
Oooo…great idea!!! Can someone tweet Brandi? (I don’t have a twitter account).
Wouldn’t that be great if she logged on and joined us here?!
Thank you! …. but Kyle isn’t really going to get much a pass on this one.
Sometimes . . . . . reality has a way of sneaking up and biting us in the a$$.
Of course Lisa didn’t want brandi on the show at first, she thought she was linked to Cedric.
They all thought she was linked to Cedric! And Paul was right about accepting a very hot and younger woman into any group isn’t easily done.
That’s very true. And fantastic that Lisa is one of the two who embrace her with friendship. Camille seemed unthreatened by her. I think the Greek god helps.
Camille owed Brandi a chance after saying NOTHING when the Witchard Sisters lit her up at game night.
I am beginning to realize that Camille from season One never left….she just got an expensive PR team. She is totally team adrienne as kyle alluded that Lisa and Camille were on bad terms at some point last year. Camille is playing the PR game very well….however sometimes she does slip. I think ADrienne dispises Lisa and instead of out right saying this she uses Bernie as her mouth piece. Notice how the other women banded together to support camille against Russell. No such offering was given to Lisa regarding Bernie, russell, or cedric. Lisa pretty much has to fight all her battles alone…while her suposed friends sit on the side lines. Adrienne will believe any and everything dirty about Lisa because she wants to believe it. I am sure there are alot of behind the scenes stuff and i am sure Lisa’s hands are not always clean. However the level of nastiness the other women have levied on Lisa are so far worse then anyhting lisa could have said to them.
New money VS Old Money SSDD!!!
I am not positive, but didn’t Bernie start bashing Lisa on Season 1. If I am correct then it is completely wrong for Adrienne to claim she had no idea what Bernie was saying. Furthermore, as someone has already mentioned Adrienne was in the kitchen with Bernie laughing about the nasty comments he was making about Lisa. Furthermore, Adrienne’s animosity towards Lisa was more then evident long before the Maloof Hoof comment or the bacholerette party ever happened. At the time Adrienne started bashing Lisa the only thing that Adrienne can put here hands on is the Crackpot statement – OH big deal! Furthermore, it was Adrienne who started the war of the dogs between her and Lisa. She said quite some time ago – “Watch out Giggie- now there is Jackpot” or something close to that.
Adrienne’s shoes are tacky and gawdy, just like Adrienne and her tinsel hair from last season. Adrienne may have been born into money, but it is clear the woman has no class!!!!!!
Congratulations Lynn! Kyle seems to think all viewers are bimbos. We are intelligent & intuitive & can understand what is happening without Kyle’s Cliffnotes. She is a self centered mean girl. She didn’t have Kim’s or Lisa’s back season one and that pattern contines this season. Yet everyone must be true to her. I hope Bravo does a house cleaning!
Kyle lies! Know that.
HaHaHa
Seriously though Kyle didn’t address any of the real issues like why she is a backstabbing friend. The ONLY person she is loyal to is Taylor…why know one understands. May they go down in flames together.
Sometimes I wonder if there is something deeper going on with Kyle and Taylor, something physical.
You are not alone thinking that. Both my sisters have suspected the same thing. Honestly I was thinking it was more like the occasional toot
She is loyal to Taylor because Taylor seems to regard her with the reverence she foolishly thins she deserves. Camille, Adrienne and Lisa certainly aren’t going to look up to Kyle the way she so desperately wants people to. Brandi and Lisa are correct – Kyle is an attention whore!!!!
KNOW THAT! Hahahaha
You rule the world Lynn
Why should Kyle get into an argument that’s between Lisa and Adrienne? Just because Lisa and Kyle are friends doesn’t mean Kyle have to defend her every time another friend puts her on blast. Considering Adrienne and Kyle are ALSO good friends it wouldn’t be fair OR loyal of Kyle to defend Lisa and call Adrienne a liar now would it? Kyle is always in a lose-lose situation.
Brandi is a liar. Sorry, but everything that comes out of her mouth is a lie or a twisted story. Kyle isn’t necessarily credible considering how much people on this blog hates her, but I believe Camille. Brandi said that all the ladies but her and Camille were asked to meet before hand, but Camille said it’s absolutely not true.
And let’s get real, Lisa and Adrienne both acknowledged that Lisa is friends with people that work at Radar On-line. Why on earth would Lisa’a friends at Radar sell her out IF they were paying her for stories?! Yeah, Adrienne looked like a fool accusing Lisa of something she only heard about, but at the end of the day Adrienne told her that if it’s not true then she’s sorry. Camille, on the other hand, only told Lisa what Radar told her in order to get a story from her. Camille wasn’t accusing Lia of selling stories.
Maybe Camille brought Brandi into it because she did want people to see what kind of person Lisa really is. Lisa is a fake and a manipulator. It’s not just a coincidence that EVERYONE who doesn’t get along with Lisa has the same opinion about her. Seeing as Lisa is the fan favorite right now and Bravo’s favorite, they’re obviously not going to portray Lisa as a mean girl or show her nasty side. Give it a few more seasons and Lisa’s true colors will show just like Jill Zarin and Caroline Manzo’s true colors started to show.
“Why on earth would Lisa’a friends at Radar sell her out IF they were paying her for stories?!”
Because if they lie and it turns out to be true that is one hefty lawsuit against them.
And who is going to sue them? Adrienne? LOL. They’re not going to get sue because they said Lisa didn’t sell the stories.
To start, they’d be open to a lawsuit by Lisa, yes. Secondly, by admitting to paying for stories they’d be open to a lot more lawsuits because celebs are already sue happy when it comes to outrageous claims but whatever limited credibility these useless mags have tanks a good amount when you have a price tag affixed to the perhaps bogus story you’re printing, and with that, up go the damage awards and an good chunk of whatever chance existed in refuting the claims.
Lisa owns two celebrity hangouts. She would be out of business if she sold stories to tabloids.
Exactly, I’m not sure how some people aren’t ‘getting’ this.
I love your name. I read your posts with a nasally accent.
HAHA!!! That is awesome. Thank you.
I agree Miss
She could be spilling the beans on REAL celebrities….but she doesn’t! Why start now with these women
Exactly.
Where did Camille say it wasn’t true that the ladies met before the reunion?
Twitter
Brandi stated that Camille did not agree to meet ahead of time with the others.
Please tell me what examples you have that Lisa is a fake and a manipulator? I’d like to know what facts you have to back that up. Thanks.
That’s my opinion. And apparently many others. AGAIN, Just because TV portrays her in a certain way doesn’t mean that’s how she is all the time.
But what has she done that you would have that opinion of her? What have you seen her do or heard her say? I don’t get where your opinion of her is coming from.
What others?? Everyone claims that they are friends.
I don’t think Lisa is fake but when asked if she missed having Adrienne as a neighbor Lisa didn’t say well hell no I don’t miss her a bit and wait until the fans see the reunion. She tries to put a polite cautious face on everything and that can be seen as fake especially if she lets her hair down privately at all.
Adrienne had much of the same “classy politeness” going on last year. Some liked her for it and some didn’t. The only two I hope don’t return to BH are Taylor and Kim. I’d love to see Tori Spelling and Denise Richards replace them. Oh another Richards.
That is not fake imo. she was being diplomatic and said she had been too busy to think about it basically.
Lisa handled that question well.
Why should Kyle get between Lisa & Adrienne? Because they were friends before the show! Kyle expects everyone to have her back. Lisa has always defended Kyle, even when Kyle was wrong. That’s why. Friendship! I apologize in advance for being so short.
Just because you’re friends with someone longer doesn’t mean you can’t have other friends you’re ALSO loyal to.
True, but Kyle is only loyal to Kyle. She thows everyone under the bus, including her bestie Taylor when she doubtef her.
Lets not forget she throws everyone under the bus on behalf of her bestie Lips.
Kyle should not have to have anyone’s back. She is her own person and can be loyal to different friends and not get involved. In fact, Kyle practices what she preaches and NEVER expects anyone to fight her battles for her and vice versa. I mean… remember that one time when Kim didn’t stick up for Kyle with the whole Camille scenario in Vegas? She totally didn’t get mad at Kim what so ever for that! oh wait… bad example. OH! How about the time when Taylor and Brandi were going at it at the Malibu beach party and Kyle totally stayed out of their fight?? oh wait… dammit. Wrong again. ok.. how about the time when Ken made the “weak” comment about marriage counseling and Kyle completely stayed out of it?? oh wait…
haha ok.. all joking aside.. just trying to point out that Kyle likes to use the excuse she wants to stay out of things but does something else.
You had me there for a minute!
Me too!
Hee hee …
Brilliant conclusion. HOWEVER – Kyle’s whole turnaround on Lisa is because Lisa became friends with Brandi. She also got jealous of her relationship of Taylor. Try watching the whole season again, especially Kyel’s talking heads.
NIcolele,
Kyle could have easily said…”i don’t believe that Lisa sells stories” and that is it. No one was asking her to put adrianne in a body lock….just to state that you don’t believe a tabloid reporter about this crap. Kyle always remains quiet when it comes to Lisa….if it were taylor being attacked like that i am sure her big mouth would have said something then.
Brandi clearly stated that Camille was not in on the meeting….so i could care less what camille says about it. Taylor herself mentioned such a meeting about lisa in the past….so how is that far fetched they would have a phone/text discussion about the reunion? The reunion is a big deal and i highly doubt these women did not discuss it before hand. ALL these women are calculating and manipulative….so singling one out is unfair.
Forget “why should Kyle defend Lisa”: what happened to “if you’re not my friend, please don’t be my enemy”? To wit: all the backstabbing of Lisa which Kyle and the others had done with Taylor that came out at the now infamous tea party–Kyle’s face said it all.
Obviously Kyle, Taylor, and Adrienne have spent time “planning” a group attack on Lisa before.
Then there’s Bernie the Cook; he said on Facebook he was at the Reunion taping and demanded to sit next to Lisa to attack her on camera over her “racists” remarks. He’s still posting about Adrienne’s devotion to him even now. No doubt he’s part of Cedric’s unholy tabloid alliance to get Lisa and Ken, since both these men have sold stories to the rags Adrienne accused Lisa of selling to–haha! Is Adrienne really that naive, that she’d believe a tabloid mag reporter trying to instigate gossip?
Love or hate Lisa and Brandi, they told the truth. Team Cedric have all been caught in lies. ALL OF THEM.
“Why should Kyle get into an argument that’s between Lisa and Adrienne? Just because Lisa and Kyle are friends doesn’t mean Kyle have to defend her every time another friend puts her on blast.”
How about because every SINGLE time Kyle needed backup both season one and season two, LISA has been the one person she could always depend on. The Witchard couldn’t even depend on her own SISTER to have her back, but the SMART viewers could see early on that Lisa would be there for her. It’s called LOYALTY to your friends. It’s how it should be, and Lisa is the ONLY one doing it right.
Have you seen the previews for Part 2 with Kyle having the NERVE to tell Brandi not to judge without walking a mile in their shoes?
Ironic, considering Kyle was the one cackling in the corner with Lips McGee at her own (pseudo-charity) party after meeting Brandi for the first time. What was she cackling about? Her own catty comments JUDGING Brandi. I guess it doesn’t count if you’re not walking a mile in someone’s cast, huh? Living life with Kyle’s rules.
What was Lisa’s response at that party? She walked up to Brandi and asked Brandi herself without listening to rumors. She got her info. straight from the source, and in the end, made her own decision on her.
Hey We are all not Kyle haters on this blog I adore Kyle, that doesn’t mean I like all the things she does. I think Kyle was trying to push Taylor up on Lisa’s back, she should have told Lisa. PEROID
Taylor was in an abusive relationship and no matter what each person thinks Kyle believed her and I think that is why she said nasty things about Lisa to Taylor.
Adrienne is a CLOWN and a weaker person than she puts out. Last season she was showing us her karate moves and this year we find out she doesn’t even hold her husband’s hand! Women with family problems start shit with people. PEROID!
I think Brandi is funny and entertaining but I can also see where B is a lot of work. I mean people have to constantly defend her, as much as I defend Kyle!
These are just people and at the end of the day we all make mistakes, I for one am excited to see how these women are going to atone for their mistakes next season.
2 more reunion shows and we are on to the OC!
ABSOLUTELY AGREE WITH YOU THEY WILL ALSO FIND OUT BRANDI TRUE COLORS HER ONLY CLAIM TO FAME IS HER EX-HUSBAND AFFAIRS SO SAD.
Smell that? Smells like bullshit.
Lynn,
Congrats on your interview with Brandi! As for your phone convo with the pea green Kyle Richards, well … she’s a liar. I believe Brandi! Kyle is so jealous of Brandi and Lisa that she can’t control herself. She has no loyalty to anyone including her drunkard sister. Kyle hurt Lisa deeply with her ugly
hateful comment, and attempting to qualify it with “maybe” isn’t going to fly. From the minute she realized that Lisa is the top housewife, she wanted Lisa to be put in her place. The second minute she realized that Brandi is beautiful and younger, Kyle wanted to destroy her. Kyle talked behind her back about her little boys, her ex and helped hide her crutches. Her bad upbringing is apparent. Her lack of education is even more apparent. Kyle is a vapid, arrogant woman who thinks that advising other women about what lash glue is best makes her somebody. Kyle is a nothing.
I will not go into Taylor, but her day in court is coming. Hopefully Bravo will do the right thing and fire her.
Note to Kyle: Remember Jill Zarin? You have become JZ.
yes, she is JZ! This is just what I was thinking. Traylor is her KooKoo Kelly – the underdog she fights for in order to (1) have someone else on her team, and (2) to be superior to/not be threatened in any way by.
Brandi is the Bethenny of this show. Lisa is similar to the Countess, but is a much, much improved version – she is actually the real thing, whereas the Countess is not. Adrienne is a super-boring version of Ramona, the “business woman”. Sadly for Adrienne, she really isn’t one, and does not appear to have anything else going on like Ramona does. Now who does Camille correspond to? She’s the Sonja.
But again, Kyle is the JZ! She who must be hated.
I can see the similarities with the first two but you got the rest of them all wrong, IMHO. Way wrong.
I agree. I’m going to have to see an awful lot of proof to believe that Kyle = Jillz. People may feel the same way about her on the show but they are nothing alike.
This is one of those places where I think every one of the ladies believe and are speaking THEIR version of the truth..
There is definately something bubbling under the surface with the ladies and Lisa. If I had to guess, its that Lisa seems effortlessly to be a fan favorite, her jokes are seen as cute, her wit is flawless, and she is a smart cookie, who tries not to start fights when she knows its a no win situation… That has to be hard on the other women.
Camille had a horrible season last year, I think she is a genuinely kind person, who s interactions were edited down to where she looked like a smug witch.. It must be hard to watch Lisa effortlessly do similiar stuff (like befriend taylor) and not get called hypocritical.. I am sure to Camille it looks like Lisa is strategic.
Adrienne just isnt that funny, she is very prissy about things and I think lisa always keeps her a bit off balance.. They have very little in common (both have said so), so there is always going to be some tension. I do think Adrienne and Camille were told things by people who had an ulterior motive, and because they were tense with Lisa, kind of believed them, because it suited them too..(I have done this myself at times, so I cant hate on them for it, although I would never believe Lisa would be stupid enough to sell stories ) … Come on folks, either she is the strategic bobby Fischer always thinking 5 moves ahead, or she is an idiot who would put her businesses and show in jepardy .. I vote for the “smart” lisa..
Kyle, I think is the classic enabling personality type (and I know the type well, I was there for DECADES with my own sister) she wants to fix everything and everyone, she likes being the center of attention (me too) and she tends to react emotionally rather than logically first.. I have never bought the evil Kyle edit, but everyone has a negative way of reacting when things get too stressful, (ie shutting down, crying, cracking jokes(me), or in kyles case, being defensive and a bit of a mean girl aggro)..
Taylor is jiving so hard to stay on the show, she alternately appeases and attacks, whichever way the wind blows..
Brandi sees herself as an outsider, I am sure if the women even got together for a drink before the reunion, she would see it as some kind of set up meeting..She also gets Lisas humor, respects that while Lisa didnt want her on the show, Lisa confronted Brandi openly and then allowed Brandi to change her opinion of her. So I can see where Lisa wouldnt have wanted Brandi on at first, but also genuinely changed her mind..
Honestly, none of these ladies is without her charms and point of view.. Taylor and Kim probably shouldnt be on the show anymore, mainly because their issues (and frankly I think Taylor has a drinking problem along with Kim) dont make the show a healthy place to be..
Sure the arguments on this show are petty, thats because most of these gals are pretty cool chicks with full lives going on.. (unlike a few of the other franchises, where its hard to find someone you really “like”)
You’ve made some very good points!
LOL, sometimes it would be more fun to be Pro only one of the HWs, this fair stuff is hard, but I guess as a part of getting older, you also see that there are very few “all good” or “truly evil” people in the world.. We all fall short in areas and in others excel.
I do agree with “Taylor is jiving so hard to stay on the show, she alternately appeases and attacks, whichever way the wind blows..”. She creeps me out. I wish she and Kyle would both leave the show.
In regards to how Camile acted last year I always thought Camile was very insecure and trying to show herself she was a lady of class when she didn’t really see herself like that. I thought alot of it had to do with her background and the fact she was married to someone famous. I maybe way off about her background but I remember thinking when she married him she was just a dancer/stripper type person who got lucky and married some millionaire who probably would probably divorce her at some point. I did not have a high opinion of her. My guess is in some way she probably thought people did not see her as anything in her own right since it was always Kelsey who was out there and so she was a bit insecure about how people would view her therefore she was trying to act like this rich snooty beverly hills wife. I do like the Camile we saw this year and I hope she is more like that person in her real life away from the cameras but I have a feeling there is more to her. I think Lisa is what you see is what you get and I like her. Kim has alot of problems and I think she got out of treatment way to soon. Adriene or now know as “HOOF” kept herself pretty well hidden last year but the real Adrienne came out, I thing she was always the princess and resents anyone taking her place. Taylor, again I think she gives as well as she gets and when it gets physical she’s the one who ends up getting the worst of it and is the first to cry victim and plays it for all it’s worth. I think she is very aggressive (just watch the reunion from last year). Kyle wants to be miss popular and the center of attention. I’ve have known a few girls like her in my life, the type that sits there and gossips about others, tries to stir the pot behind the scene (usually with someone else helping -Taylor), then when the sh** hits the fan she just sits there and watches it, like she had nothing to do with it. I’m not a fan of that type of high school girl. I like Brandi warts and all and hope she returns with Lisa, Camille, Adrienne and Kim. I would like to see what Kim is like when she is not under the influence. I hope the kick Taylor to the curb and she can take Kyle with her too but if one of them has to come back it can be Kyle. I just am not watching another season of the mouth. I’ve got to say it–that woman has one big mouth on her. wow
And why is it that Lisa and Brandi are the only ones who posted a Bravo blog about the reunion? Is it because the others have nothing to say in defense of their deplorable behavior? The only way Kyle or Adrienne could redeem themselves in my eyes is to publicly admit they were nasty, mean girls and beg Lisa’s forgiveness and THAT my friends will NEVER happen.
Don’t forget Pamdana posted one too! Not that she’d have any idea what goes on, she’s never invited!
Oh yeah. Totally forgot her – ha ha!
who? lol
Her blog is as pitiful as she is. But the best part is that there’s two pages of comments and 99.9% of them are negative and right on the money about Pamana.
What a waste of time this interview was. Kyle is so out of touch with reality. She has shown herself to be a two faced witch time and time again. She has no credibility and doesn’t seem to realize that regardless of what Brandi said we can see with our own eyes just what Kyle is.
Blame Eliott Mintz
Well she probably will since she never takes any responsibility for her actions.
People who say they are “always honest” usually aren’t.
ITA. You wouldn’t need to say it, your actions would speak for themselves.
How great that Kyle contacted you. Wow what a coup.
I agree with Kyle that they have to relive their sins over and over. Unless you’re Taylor, Sheree and Nene. They seem to slide through without ownership of much. I do think there was some consensus in clearing the air with Lisa. Kyle claims Lisa’s her friend and she wouldn’t want to hurt her yet she did just that very cunningly and then on top of the hurt, she twists the apology from Lisa into another insult and stab.
I think Camille has seen more of the downside of Lisa and seeing everyone gush over her could be frustrating. Lisa wasn’t friendly to Brandi at first so I believe she didn’t want her to join the group. Lisa is just as human as anyone. It’s easy to laugh when the zingers are aimed at someone else until you get a taste of it yourself.
They all obviously discussed Lisa before. Did they call a specific meeting for it? Probably not, but they DID discuss her because Taylor basically admitted to it. At the tea party when Taylor started on Lisa and said that everyone told her they would have her back about Lisa and all the crap she was saying. How would she know that if they didn’t discuss it? I’m sure something similar happened. Did they have a meeting specifically about Lisa? Maybe not, but they were together, possibly even discussing the reunion, WITHOUT Lisa, and the subject came up… oops… hate it when that happens. So technically, she isn’t lying but then again Brandi isn’t either.
I agree.
OT I saw someone call you Uni and thought that was cute.
I didn’t think of what a pain in the a$$ it would be to address me when I made this name… I too thought that was a good way to shorten it.
This scenario reminds me so much of High School and Most of the RHOBH are obviously still there.
So once again it’s all about Kyle. Bette, at BETTE SMITH MANAGEMENT**Kyle & Kim’s manager, must have told her to mop up the PR mess (again). (*BETTE is the beast of a woman who can be seen at the SUR party taking Kim in hand telling her she needed to go see so and so inside the party) Kyle continually professes Lisa’s her “friend” and as such, the housewives as a group, would never pre-plan to eviserate Lisa at the reunion. Ergo Kyle just let it come up “naturally” in the conversation & never went to her “friend’s” defense. Typical Mean-Girl-Richards-Sisters behavior….always be on attack. A defense learned at the knee of Big Kathy.
Kyle’s not to be believed anymore than Dana or Taylor & her convo with Lynn was self serving.
I saw in an interview Kyle gave to Geraldo where she told him cheating once on your spouse should be kept a secret as long as you don’t cheat again. She gave this advice to a dear “friend” and they are still together years later. See how honest little Miss Kyle is?
She repeated that same thought on The View. I think its in her book.
Yeah, I think it is in her book. But it says something about her moral character that she actually thinks this is ok. That is the epitome of dishonest if I ever heard it.
I have to say I agree with her on this. No, I’m not condoning cheating, but if someone slips one time, a total mistake, then I don’t think they should tell. Why complicate or damage a relationship for doing something they regret and never intend to repeat. If it happens again, then there’s definitely a problem and one should either get help and/or decide if they even want their current relationship. At that point the problem should be addressed and that includes involving the significant other. I honestly can say if it was one slip, I wouldn’t want to know. Even if I did know, I could probably forgive it in time, so why go there? However, this is ONLY if safe sex was practiced. If I may be in danger of catching something, his a$$ better friggin tell me. That’s an entirely different story. Just fyi, this opinion is not from a personal experience.
I agree with everything you said. I also have no personal experience, but if it is a one time mistake and someone is doing everything they can to make sure it never happens again, and there is no risk of expsosing your partner to STDs…we cannot clear our own conscience at the expense of someone else’s peace of mind. What purpose does it serve?
Kyle continues to be mean to Kim. She just about confirmed that Mauricio doesn’t like Kim. She doesn’t say “and of course Mauricio loves my sister,” she basically says he couldn’t admit to Kim being his least favorite because she is her sister. Did anyone else read it that way? I think Kyle put her foot in her mouth there and it was nasty, once again. Even if true, why would you say something like that, especially when Kim is in recovery.
I hadn’t read it that way but now that you pointed it out….It definitely comes across that way!
I thought I was the only one that read it that way.
P.S. Lisa’s wonderfully witty, dry, British humor is too subtle for Kyle & Adrienne.
Fat Little Shoe comment was sooo cute & funny. What else could be said about Adrienne’s ugly little shoe.
Honestly, I took it as Phat. Which to me, was a compliment, as it was intended.
I don’t believe Kyle for a minute. She is such a catty person, period. She showed her true colors on several occasions, not just one, and the reunion just sent the ball home. As far as Adrienne goes, I lost total and complete respect for her. For me, she seemed more and more of a trouble maker this season, and then it was proven at the reunion. There was no excuse for her terrible behavior at the reunion and now she is just trying to blow it off. Not going to work. She might “move forward” but now we all know what kind of person she really is. Not attractive and as fake as every aspect of her face and body. I hate judging these women, but they make it so easy.
I actually gasped at how many times Adrienne called Lisa a liar–with a stone cold face and a death stare. That’s when Bernie’s online, months-long disparagement of Lisa made sense. It brings to mind Cedric’s claims a Bravo producer invited him to SUR–Cedric was let past the rope and mic-ed, after all. Then there’s Bernie, whom Lisa couldn’t even place at first. The gay Lisa-haters were out in force; strange, at a party Lisa herself was giving.
Maybe Adrienne invited Brandi to get together with them to plan their strategy for the Reunion, and Kyle was part of it but didn’t think of it as a “planning” session.
If I were Lisa, I’d never be able to look at these women again with any trust at all.
My opinion, Adrian as a “businesses woman” knows that to have a successful business, image is everything and when she said VILLACACA and that she sell stories she knew what she was doing .Lisa’s businesses could suffer because of those accusations.
Mean to the core,Lisa worked very hard to get to were she is and Adrian INHERITED.
Maybe Adrienne was responsible for Cedric being at the opening of SUR?
I also didn’t read the interview with Brandi until after I saw the reunion. So, the idea that they may have had a “meeting” to gang up on Lisa, or not, really doesn’t have any significance to me. I know what I saw, and meeting or not, it was a really mean thing to do to Lisa.
No one is perfect, and Lisa is no exception. I’m sure her words sting sometimes and the others have a right to feel how they feel. But, they were no better, especially Kyle. Kyle needs to own her own words and actions and not make excuses for them. So she’s all hurt that Lisa said she needs attention? Lisa simply responded that maybe her words were hurtful to Kyle JUST LIKE Kyle saying that Lisa preys on the weak was hurtful to her. That is where the discussion should have ended, with both of them apologizing for hurting the other’s feelings! But oh no! Kyle goes on and on, trying to excuse what she said, as if adding the “maybe” makes it okay. (reminds me of Teresa saying juicy was talking about Melissa’s sister and not Melissa, and that made his insults ok) Kyle takes it so far that she ends up saying that Lisa is so manipulative that it’s almost impossible to be her friend! (are you serious?) and then twists it even further by claiming Lisa’s apology isn’t sincere and that she’s just trying to turn things around. It’s a lose/lose for Lisa.
We’ve all seen Lisa have Kyle’s back on the show several times. Kyle can’t even seem to have her own sister’s back, so we shouldn’t be surprised. If there was validity to any of this, it should have been worked out off camera, because we know an undeserved dog pile when we see one! They shouldn’t be surprised by what the viewers are saying now.
All in all, Kyle is just the tip of the iceberg… Adrienne is a real piece of work here. But, that’s for another time. Thank you for listening to my rant.
I agree forget that there was a meeting, nothing changes. Maybe they didn’t write up an agenda and take down minutes but I do believe they talked strategy.
Kyle’s lack of apology reminds me of her comments about her own sister’s lack of apologies. Kyle obviously can’t apologize to anyone either.
The more you talk, Kyle, the worse you make it. You need to hang it up.
By the way – did anyone else pickup on the fact that Kyle brought up game night first and was saying that she was really hurt that people had perceived her incorrectly there as a mean girl etc… Then Lisa admits that she thought it was mean spirited – so, Kyle responds with that is why you brought it up tonight just to get me back and hurt me. Lisa didn’t even bring up the subject – Kyle did – she tries her level best to spin everything against Lisa and then even tries to put down Lisa’s apologies. What a piece of work!!!!
I think Mauricio knew of Kyle’s jealousy of Brandi & if he ever wanted another BJ from Kyle he’d better say Brandi was his least fav housewife. If you remember though he started to say Dana, but he kinda paused & said to Andy “is she a housewife?” to which Andy just shook his head ever so slightly.
BJ and/or the splits.
ack!…those splits. lol It’s an image I need to get out of my mind.
Hi all. So I’m a total and complete lurker on this site every day. I know.. stalker. And every day I find myself replying/agreeing to comments (in my head) with a “hell yeah!” “oh no she didn’t!” or “ugh, i know right?!”
Today however, i’ve decided to respond after reading this interview. While reading it all I heard from Kyle was BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH. Good job Lynn on this interview! It speaks LOUD AND CLEAR these ladies (RHOBH) DO read this blog and are fully aware of what the viewers think of them. I’m so glad you didn’t choose sides and were very neutral. The great thing about these women is that their “damage control” just digs them deeper and deeper and helps show their true colors even more.
So with that said, good job Kyle! She just reconfirmed why I would NEVER have someone like her as my friend. She sat there and let everyone bash Lisa but didn’t stick up for her on the “supposed” things she felt weren’t true i.e. selling stories. But yet, when Brandi (whom she detests) called Taylor out about her book, Kyle had Taylor’s back and stuck up for her (instantly I might add) by telling Brandi she doesn’t know until she walks in someone’s shoes? Earth to Kyle… umm… YOU KINDA SUCK! Just sayin’! Own it girlfriend!
Welcome.
Thanks mamaearth. I’m so excited about responding. I feel so liberated!
Cool.
Welcome to all the new posters I might not recognize as new. I read a few months ago that some (not just me) felt ignored for awhile and no one here wants that imo. Whoever confessed feeling that let me know that I wasn’t alone and I should just keep trying. And it worked.
That was me lovemama, and while I was quite off that day, I went on and on, I’m glad it resonated with you. Yes Lynn, great job on getting Kyle to respond ( I can’t actually say she addressed anything ) . As someone else said , all I read was blah blah blah . Like The adults in the Charlie brown shows. I have never seen Kyle stand up for anyone but Taylor and I have seen Lisa stand up for her over and over. Kyle is the woman who calls herself a girls girl and Shes the cattiest of them all . I think Adrienne is dull , pedantic, and not only are get shoes fat, so are her ankels. And yes , I read Kyles remark about maricio the same way about Kim; that he doesn’t like Kim at all. I too think Brandi has some major crazy going on but I love her! I think Camille is a little bit last year and a little bit this year . She’s not st Camille but its been fun watching her try. Taylor?????? Please I can only hope she’s convicted . And I think Kim’s mean persona was all reaction to being stepped in last season, and drugs and years of being put down will do that to you . Personally I think she’s much nicer than Kyle . I think Kim has a kinder nature and sober shed be sweet.
Once again my spelling mistakes are rampant with I phone. Sorry
I know there’s a new blog up but I just wanna say I haven’t felt ‘unwelcome’ and I only have been commenting for a couple of days.
Welcome to the land of let it all out and feel so much better.
Hi What-what. Welcome aboard. Great post!
What…welcome; post more often!
PREACH IT SISTER!
Haha love the name! Welcome!
Well, welcome!
You sure started off with a bang!
What, What,
You said it!!
Kyle talking is like Charlie Brown’s teacher…..
And they do dig their holes deeper!
I always cringe when someone starts out with “I am a long time lurker.” because usually it turns out to be someone starting sh*t!…. But I enjoyed your insights and wish you a warm welcome!!
Standing ovation for pointing out that wonderfully illuminating example of her dishonesty.
Well said. Welcome home.
Well GEEZE I hope you write and contribute more often your so articulate!
Like i said earlier…Last year i had my doubts about Camille’s story about Kyle last year. Now i have ZERO doubt about it. Kyle has a way of twisting and turning her comments or actions around to remove herself from guilt. She did that with Lisa this hear and she did it with camille last year. When she saw the fan backlash with her sister and her agressive behavior she made it a point to play nice with camille. Keep my friends close and my enemies closer…..lol. ALL of these women are calculating and manipulative so it is just funny that they want to call lisa out for that when they all partake in these behaviors.
IA,
Because I thought “who would say that about Camille”, it sounded so off base, now I know, KYLE would say that about Camille!
Hi Lynn,
I havent had a chance yet to catch up on everything yet, I did read your conversation with Kyle and I don’t believe her. I find Brandi to be more honest she’s been consistant through out this season and Kyle flip flops around depending on the situation and circumstances.
Kyle took a shot at lisa in part 1 about not speaking up for her when she was feeling fire about her behavior, she needs to fight her own battles her behavior was her own and she shouldnt have to have anyone speak up for her let alone anyone having to defend themselves because they didnt. Lisa did help her last year if she goes back and reads last years blogs that Lisa posted at Bravo’s site she several times came to Kyle’s defense.
It was ironic to me that she described Lisa as being alittle like playing chess with Bobby Fisher it actually fits Kyle more, maybe someone else told Kyle that at one time about herself and she found it to be clever.
Kyle was a favorite of mine “last year” although she did have her moments I still found her to be a likeable person. This year she came out of the gate acting like a asshole mean girl and I didn’t like anything about her, when I saw the first part of the reunion and what they were doing to Lisa I was able to see what other people saw that they didnt like about her last year and I finally agree..
Congrats to Lynn for this blog to have become the primo source that the Housewives recognize they need to contact with their phony and lame excuses (yes Kyle that is you). This group here has proven time and time again we are no dummies and can see the truth. Just try owning your bad behaviour Kyle etc and quit being such a jealous and petty person. You have a great family and husband and a good life. Why are you letting America see your jealousy? It hasnt worked for you in the past and its not working for you now. Give it up you spoiled and wicked w/bitch.
I don’t know if any of that conversation is written Verbatim but apparently one has to listen to Exactly what Kyle says to find her truth. Did they ‘Meet’ and discuss? “No Nothing like that” (paraphrasing a little here). Did they Discuss on the phone? “Absolutely not”.. Did they ‘Text’ …….. Ah, Now we’re getting somewhere. Get where I’m going with this? (not necessarily my own unique observation).
FWIW, I Never did think S1 Camille was gone. Just a self imposed muzzle to keep from looking bad in the eyes of say, a custody court. I’m sure the a$$hole is using every bit of ammo he can find to make his case.
ITA – Camille wore a muzzle in S2 not because of what viewers said but because of her battle with Kelsey. IMO, Camille finds it very satisfying to see Lisa give Kyle no out on her behavior.
She’ll be back in full out bitch mode next Season because by that time all the financials will have been settled with Kelsey….nothing to lose.
Baby Jane is splitting hairs like politicians who claim to have never had relations with that woman.
What does “IT” mean?
Hey Kyle,
Go check the Taylor Armstrong/Shanna Fort/Insert Name Here Page on this blog.
Our friend Diva here is contructing a timeline with pictures and dates. Come back and check it after Taylor’s book is out.
have any of you taken a peek at the one on Stoopid Housewives before it was deleted?
I saw it. Very very detailed. I hope Shana gets discredited, she really makes me sick.
Giving Kyle some props for reaching out to Lynn but at the same time it appears that she was not really doing anything more than calling Brandi a liar! Kyle can’t get past her own insecurities and driving need for attention – we have watched Kyle either lie straight up or by omission, while we have seen Brandi own everything she does or says.
If I could talk to Brandi right now I would ask her to tell me WHO called her
re: getting together before the reunion and what EXACTLY did they say during that conversation?
Brandi just responded on Twitter
BrandiGlanville Brandi Glanville
I never spoke to @KyleRichards18 I was asked to meet by Adrienne I didn’t go. Adriennes biz partner said they were going after Lisa!Simple!
oh snappy turtles! I love me some Brandi. Seriously, that girl may be many things, but one thing she is not, is a liar! It’s very clear. She owns what she says. Whether it bites her in the buttocks or not.
snappy turtles? hahahahahaha!
Love it!
LOVE that Brandi
Adrienne’s business partner? Is that the little round munchkin you can see walking 3 feet behind Adrienne?! Guess she’s relegated to carrying the tiara & scepter.
Kyle responded because she has to have a lot of attention, a lot. A LOT
Brandi saw it and called her out. She’s so right! I think now Lisa sees it too!
I don’t like Kyle. Such a fame whore.
OMG who just mentioned ELIOTT MINTZ !? I had forgotten about him. He’s such a creep always hanging onto someone’s coat tails…..specifically Yoko’s right after John was killed. Super creepy guy. ***i still think BETTE SMITH had a hand in Kyle’s mea culpa phone call to Lynn…..and wasn’t it a coincidence she called while Lynn was busy driving & was unable to take notes…..hmmmm.
But how could you forget the very ‘colorful’ Mr. Mintz?
http://mlkshk.com/r/2L7L
For a gay guy he’s clueless.
oompa loompa……..oompa loompa…dipity dooo
lol…I almost just posted the same thing!
HOW OLD are these shallow women, TWELVE? Even ‘Saint’ Camille is acting like a 6th grader now. Because she’s been caught red handed perpetrating the false rumor, her method of deflection is to point at Lisa not wanting Brandi on the show? How mature! Way to be accountable, Camille! Shiny object, shiny object! Al Sharpton, Al Sharpton!!
As far as I’m concerned after reading those tweets, Camille should have just put on a dress with wizard wings, and sat over on the couch with the other members of the Bobby Fischer brain trust.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA…..too damn funny but very apt.
Kyle, you werent the fan favorite last year and again this year. What is it gonna take for you to see everytime you open your mouth with your lies and excuses and half ass apologies you are digging that hole a little deeper. But good thing cause you got lots of company in that hole with TraylorTrash and the Hoof! Enjoy your party in that hole with all the other wannabees.
Dontcha just love liars who tell you they never lie? Lol.
May I suggest a name change for Kyle? Let me cast the first vote to change her famename to EVE. After all, “It’s All About Eve” and Lord knows we all have to endure the “Three Faces Of Eve”. This gal would lie if you asked her what time is it. And like Andrienne, her post-reunion tweets have all been “little Portia said this or did this” or “watch me on tv” or some other fluffy crap. Good grief. For Reunion parts 2&3, I am keeping a trash can near the sofa just in case I need to hurl.
I would suggest Baby Jane, that movie of what ever happened to baby jane
That fits Taylips.
How about Whatever Happened to Baby Huey? It’s more fitting for Kyle.
All about Eve….heheheh
I think just simply “Vyle” with a y.
I likey!
Vyle Byle
Ok every time I read something I get so frustrated I have to stop and get it out..
I just read the copies of Twitter conversation from Camille and Adrienne, so I’m trying to figure out why Camille brought up Brandi? What did Brandi have to do with the conversation I’m confused.
Adirenne’s just pissed me off, she had the nerve to compare what she said about Lisa having sold stories to Radar Online for money and calling her a liar in front of the world as petty. Petty? OMG no no, Adrienne if your reading this the name she called your dog was petty and you know it, the problem is that you have nothing on Lisa other than not liking the attention she gets that it seems to me is the problem you have with Lisa which is really not a problem at all, it’s a personal problem YOURS. Adrienne was the last person that I would have thought would say some of the things she did on air it was just low and hurtful to Lisa.
maybe she’s (Camille) is trying to lead credibility to Adrienne’s claim that Lisa only befriended Brandi to have her on her ‘side’…?
Loving this blog Lynn cause we all know we cant get this info on anything Bravo and Andy have to offer. They are out of the loop and even with their peabrains they have to see Radaronline and several other media outlets recognize the facts and importance of this blog. They see that we discuss the good along with the bad and allow all participants to express their views and dont excludeor censor any views, unlike them. Luv it……they have to be hating this because now everyone knows where to go and be heard.
“FWIW, I Never did think S1 Camille was gone. Just a self imposed muzzle to keep from looking bad in the eyes of say, a custody court”.
^^^^^^^
Couldnt agree with you more Mel The Hound. She stayed away from drama this Season because she saw how bad she came off last year….a self entitled SEE YOU NEXT TUESDAY. Not surprised at all that Kelsy would become enamored with a young, unspoiled stew, who was endeared by anything he did for her. (I know I’m reaching but it’s plausible). Oh and who believes Mz. Camille deigns to do her own Tweeting? I’m sure her hand maiden DD has been given that job.
it’s funny b/c I wasn’t buying the whole 180 degrees things either…I still like her better this season, but her actions last year (not all editing) was why she got viewed the way she was…the whole dinner was a setup, bringing that book to kyle’s party after they made up was passive aggressive and unnecessary, and letting Taylor get in her ear was another thing…interesting to see if she’ll be back next season though
Bravo arranges the “seating” very carefully – fighters have to face each other!
The two picked to sit on either side of Andy are the main event.
Lisa bested Kyle so Kyle wants a recount in the court of public opinion.
The two on the far ends of the couches have to prove their worth to the franchise. Adrienne did not do well and in the few minutes that Brandi occupied the far end position she came out ready to fight.
Round One went to Lisa and Brandi.
Test
Drug this over from an old blog. Please discuss.

Okay. This is my treatise on this season’s RHBH.
It all starts with Cedric. He conspires to take Lisa down and finds willing accomplices in Adrienne, her cook, Taylor and Brandy.
Adrienne: Because her ego is bigger than even her artificially enlarged face and her extremely competitive nature is her Achilles’ heal.
Adrienne’s cook: Conduit to Adrienne.
Taylor: Solely because of her hatred and jealousy of Lisa.
Brandy: She needs a paycheck and doesn’t know Lisa therefore can be manipulated into thinking Cedric is telling the truth.
But the biggest conspirator is Bravo…
Cedric first goes to the cook, plants stories of half truths and mostly lies. He starts planting the seeds. The cook goes back to Adrienne and repeats the tall tales. Adrienne falls hook line and sinker. Adrienne shares these stories with Taylor. Taylor, in her never ending quest to destroy Lisa, plants more seeds. I can almost hear the conversation between her and Adrienne! “We need to expose her, how dare she say/do these things” this is what I imagine. Adrienne suggests they need to really plot this out well because she knows that Lisa is not easy to stir so the plot to bring Brandy into the mix starts to come together. She’s a model and so was Cedric so it would not be inconceivable that they had met somewhere at some time. They get the articles in the paper, get pictures published showing Cedric and Brandy being buds. This is when they go to Bravo. Adrienne (the muscle) and Cedric (the story teller) go to the producer with the plot line. They LOVE it!!! They probably sense that it is a load of crappola but decide that they will dance with the devil for the ‘drama”. What’s new? That was rhetorical.
Once they (Adrienne and Cedric) get the green light from Bravo they dive in feet first. Taylor has probably has been told, as they all were, (I suspect) that Lisa is long time friends with the editor of the rag that Taylor goes to drop the “bomb” that she and Russell were divorcing. But Taylor is the consummate con-man and can smell a con a mile away. Therefore, she stages the “run in” with Cedric so that if Lisa gets a sniff of this sub-plot she can say she had only talked to Cedric on the street and KNEW Lisa would misconstrue the meeting. After all, we know her ultimate would have been to have Lisa as her friend but wanted to have all her bases covered.
Taylor starts to work on Kyle, miss gullible, and she takes the bait. Silly,silly Kyle…
I believe Cedric planted the “everyone is afraid of Lisa” mantra that has been sprinkled through the season.
Cedric used the cook to involve Adrienne, Adrienne used Taylor because of her hatred of Lisa and Brandy because of her vulnerability and Bravo used all of them to have a juicy plot line.
I don’t doubt that they had to re-edit the whole season. I believe once Russell killed himself it became apparent that the story line was all about the lies Taylor had been feeding everyone about her marriage.
Peace out, friends.
very interesting thoughts…
I think what you have written is very Plausible. I read (maybe on this blog or an article) that Cedric has been seen in a bar with Bernie. The whole selling of the stories to Radar sounds like something Cedric would say! With these women and their gossipy nature, it would spread like wildfire!
Yes very believable the stories are Cedric & Bernie’s handy work however, what about Ms. Kim Richards!?
She has had no visible means of support since the last kid’s child support dried up, other than the meager RHOBH $$….meager when you’re used to $20k per month. Just a thought….
Oh…I didn’t think of that! Kim may have some dirty hands as well!!
Doesn’t she get spousal support for life or until she remarries?
Wow! You should write a mystery novel. Good detective skills!
And your book comes out when????
I only wish I could drum up this kind of intrigue from scratch to write a book! I have spent the past 2 plus decades working so closely with the public ( I am an esthetician/massage therapist/make-up artist and moonlighted as a bartender) and I believe that is the reason that I am so tuned into subtleties. When you lay hands on people for a living and listen to their issues all day your bullshit meter becomes very sensitive. Hell, it drives my BF insane! He cannot get away with diddly! It makes him crazy to watch a thriller/mystery with me because I usually crack the code within the first 15 minutes of a movie! He thought he found the movie that would finally trip me up (The Usual Suspects) but within a minute of the introduction of Kevin Spacey’s character I was able to lay the entire plot out. He was major pissed! Thanks for the complements! Oh, and thank you Lynn for having a place for us to get out our frustrations!!!!
PS You guys are no slouches either when it comes to your analyses!
Kyle is to HWBH as was Jill to HWNY. She always has been. Editing doesn’t make her do the splits how many times this season (um why else than to get attention)? Editing didn’t make her petty words and nasty facial expressions towards Brandi and Lisa magically appear.
I wasn’t looking for anything when I watched the reunion. I still haven’t read Brandi’s interview (but I’m going to right after I post this comment). Guess what I saw? Kyle and Adrienne tag-teaming Lisa. They were both positively green with envy.
Adrienne’s businesses are not doing well. Must be hard to watch Lisa create a second successful business in Beverly Hills and there’s that talk about Lisa getting a spin-off. Stings doesn’t it Adrienne? You’re petty and you look desperate. I don’t go to the Palms when I’m in Vegas because it’s over, it’s out of the way since it’s not on the strip, and it’s not nearly as nice as the newer casinos. How many times does that poor girl have to say she didn’t want a party at the Palms. Who would? What, you didn’t think we’d see through your copycat lapdog with his twitter account (a la Jiggy) and your ridiculous mouthpiece Bernie? You were in the kitchen with him when he was talking mad crap on Lisa. And for God sakes tell Paul to stop flat ironing his hair and stop shilling his plastic surgery business. God I don’t want to buy your crap or his.
Kyle, poor Kyle. She was supposed to be the star of the HWBH just like Jill was supposed to be the star of HWNY. You brought in all your friends, it was your baby right? You want to sell us a book on how to be like you (sound like someone else we know?) But none of us like you; we like Lisa. We like Lisa and now Brandi because they act human. Sure they have flaws but they don’t act like little bratty, petty high school girls. They own who they are. Take a long hard look Kyle, because maybe the world sees who you are, but you don’t. Play the scene from game night over again since you like to keep the tapes to reference. Remember you told Lisa you had her on tape? Then play all the scenes where you lied to everyone especially Lisa about what happened. You are vicious. You are someone who only cares about being the most popular person in the room. It’s gross. We see you. You don’t need to explain any more to us. Should we explain it more to you? Don’t blame it all on the stress of dealing with an addict/alcoholic, I’ve been there along with many other people in the world. If you conduct yourself like a kind and decent person, then you won’t have to keep explaining why you’re not mean in order to sell your book about how to be like you. Own it and apologize for it and then maybe we’ll like you, just ask Camille.
Oh and Camille, your PR guru has done wonders for you, and maybe the Art of War has also taught you a thing or two. I think you are very smart and adapt well. That much I think is very true, but I see who you are under it all. Try to change for real, it’s a little harder but if anyone can do it I believe you can.
Taylor, you’re a criminal and it’s only a matter of time. I don’t know what Russel did or didn’t do to you, but just because you say it, doesn’t make it true. The timeline doesn’t add up, like a lot of other things in your life. I know a liar and a con when I see her. Good luck with your trial after what you did to all those investors, I really think you’ll need it.
Kyle and Adrienne tag-teaming Lisa. They were both positively green with envy.
^^^^^^
And Taylor sat there with the canary feathers hanging from those flappy lips.
So true lovemamaearth!
Lynn, I have to thank you for all your great blogs on all HWs. I don’t get to read them as much as I used to but whenever I have a free minute I come here because I know you have the inside scoop on everything! Does Bravo even have a website? haha
Luckily this was a slow day. I just had to post after reading what Kyle said. I think some HWs think we’re stupid, or maybe they’re just lying to themselves.
she was in HEAVEN she finally got what she wanted from the casino she tried to start at the tea party, and she didn’t even have to ask for backup this time…notice meek Taylor didn’t come to Lisa’s defense at all even though Shana tried to cause a scene in Lisa’s own house and Lisa still came to her defense when the ladies were saying ‘we don’t know if it’s true’ about the abuse
Exactly. And Taylor and Russell started the rumor. We saw it at dinner.
Well said!
Can you imagine what Kyle would have to say about Brandi if she was running around doing the splits or putting her leg up over her head. I swear I sit in disbelief sometimes at the crap Kyle pulls and then goes around calling others all kinds of horrible names and passing judgments.
She may think it is cute or a talent but she looks like the biggest fool and a SLUT PIG.
Yes obviously that bad couch came in with an F- for fail and fumble while the good couch with Lisa and Brandi scored a touchdown!!! Lucky you Camille to be on the good couch but I think you should take yourself out of the game, you arent a team player.
As frustrating as it is was to watch that drivel this week, the big payoff comes when this blog blows up with massive numbers and the advertisers get to see what we see and what we want and do not want to see. Bravo could care less about our opinions, but at the end of the day, we are the ones that count for the ratings, not these pathetic liars.
This is totally off topic, but Reality Tea is reporting that Donn Gonvalsson is fighting cancer. Hope is is going to be OK.
Oh no, say it ain’t so!
Prayers for (((Donn)))!
Poor bastard. Many prays for Don.
*prayers*
I hope the stepkids have kept in touch with him.
Hugs to Donn if you’re reading. You were a real standup guy on that show so I don’t doubt that’s how you are in real life. Too bad Vicki didn’t have a thimbleful of your integrity.
And I hope you ask Gena out for a date.
Went over to RT, and they’re reporting that the step kids do keep in contact with him. According to the blog entry, Michael was the one to announce Donn’s illness.
Oh..that’s terrible. I really hope he has a quick recovery. Poor guy, I felt so bad for him the whole time he was on RHOOC
That’s terrible news. I have a soft spot for the long-suffering Donn and I was hoping that after being subjected to the abuse Icky endlessly heaped on him for so long that once he was free of her he’d meet some wonderful lady and ride off into the sunset to live with her happily ever after. I still hope for that for Donn; no one is more deserving.
Blessings to you Donn. You will be in my thoughts and prayers and without a doubt the thoughts and prayers of all your fans who grew to love and empathize with you on RHOOC. I pray that you will be restored to excellent health very soon. Please always remember that you are loved.
What PG said…
This day has fired me up more than anything since SWSNBN. Gotta take a break now and start a crockpot with some chicken thighs for my dog Coopers snacks this week. I will be back later gators.
It’s OK to neglect people, work and home on this blog… but not the doggie! Get to it!
The doggies rule!
I do the same thing for Emily every morning but with breast meat.
Then I mix it up with white rice and cottage cheese.
I love that you cook for your dog!
Death threats for Taylor Armstrong just before her book tour begins. A new marketing tool? Or . . . . . is this for real?
http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2012/01/taylor-armstrong-death-threats-fbi
When Lisa explained herself or said she was sorry Kyle started with the “SEE! You’re doing it again…” Does a friend tell a million viewers that another friend preys on the weak? And to explain this Kyle said “I wasn’t saying it ABOUT you…” what? I did not hear these direct questions she is talking about that deserved the nasty tone she was using with Lisa. I have always liked Kyle, but it’s been getting harder and harder with this season watching her stirring up trouble. I would NEVER tell a friend that they are calculating like a chess player. I was hoping Kyle would apologize, be embarrassed, humble herself and say she made a big mistake. Her call to you to explain the ONE item she was wrongly accused of speaks volumes. Kyle worries about ONE person…being Kyle.
I would have liked to see her behave with humility. I simple, thoughtful apology goes a long way.
I agree. Kyle’s head is stuck so far up her ass that she can’t even see how bad all of this has made her look. Anyone with a shred of decency/common sense (about how she is portrayed on the show) would apologize sincerely. But no, Kyle just keeps digging herself into a deeper and deeper hole. It’s a shame that she’ll probably be back next season. She seems the type to throw her “status” around as soon as she became a fauxlebrity. So sick of her.
This was my fav from this interview w/Kyle:
“Kyle told me, ‘We would never do that to Lisa, can you imagine how hurt she would be?’”
As a matter of fact, we don’t have to IMAGINE: we saw it right on camera for ourselves.
Not only don’t I believe anything Kyle says now, I have changed my mind about what Kyle said to Camille “off camera” last season that kept a fight going. We’ve seen Kyle lie about the fight with Brandi at the game night party: Kyle whitewashed her and Kim’s behavior to Lisa and Adrienne afterwards, completely acting like they were so innocent and evil and slut-pig Brandi was the mean girl/aggressor. And didn’t we see Kyle driving Kim somewhere once, though in Hawaii Kyle screamed at Kim she’d never been in the car with Kyle driving? How many times have we now seen Kyle’s self-serving revisions of history?
Then there’s the “cloistered Kyle” attitude no one buys in LA in the 21st century: “What’s meth? What’s a BJ? Oh no! Slut said COCK! 4 year old peed on the grass! Help, I’m blushing!” Maybe Kyle needs to borrow a copy of “A Night In Paris” to get a clue.
Kyle certainly sat on camera this reunion and twisted everything she said as if “maybe Lisa preys on the weak” was actually a kind comment. Haha! Classic Kyle. Then we see her doing it again: one minute she claims she told Taylor she’s never been intimidated by Lisa, but 20 sec’s. later she’s saying she’s afraid of Lisa, the dirty chess player!
Kyle makes it up as she goes. I only have to look at the stone faces of the Kyle/Taylor/Adrienne couch to see that they were in complete agreement about what they were going to do to Lisa at the reunion.
Good job, BTW, Lynn.
When Kyle confronted Lisa in regards to Kyle doing the splits at pandit as engagement 4 attention, initially Lisa denied this. Kyle proceeded 2 tell Lisa that she had it on tape. Does that mean these woman were secretly recording the conversations that they had with Lisa? Also in regards 2 Mauricio stating that Brandi was his least favorite housewife did anyone pay attention that Kyle said Brandi’s name under her breath prior to Mauricio answering ?
No I think Lisa said that on her TH interview.
It doesn’t even need to be said, why would anyone do the splits if not for attention and if Kyle thought Lisa was saying something derogatory she is wrong. Lisa was just stating the obvious.
Hi All.
Thanks for the interview with Kyle, Lynn.
I don’t believe Kyle. I think she is a petty, mean, selfish, person who is very jealous of Brandi. She is and was not being a good friend to Lisa (as was evidenced by her actions on the show Sunday night).
End of story.
I have to have a lie down now. I’ll be back later.
Miami,
Are you still sick?
Good job Lynn on Kyle’s interview. Everyone is cracking me up here on this blog. I do believe the ladies did discuss Lisa before the reunion. Brandi does not BS.
Kyle is like Jill she hates being “hated”. Remember the tweet Kyle sent out about being misunderstood? Jill responded “I know what you mean”. HA!.
Brandi slashing Eddie’s tires is hilarious. Eddie is lucky she did not slash something else. I would have after having my husband cheat on me when pregnant and then sleep with LeeAnn Rimes. That man is a total dog.
Brandi has texts to back up HER claim.
Smart cookie.
Kyle and the Hoof need to stop looking at Brandi as the fool, and instead take a long look in the mirror.
ITA! They need to take an inventory – a good, honest look in the mirror would do them wonders.
Boobah,
Problem is, when they look in the mirror, they’re checking out their hair, makeup, tinsel and need for Botox.
Lol! So true.
But even that isn’t honest! Adrienne had a wad of hair sticking from the side of her head during the colonoscopy scene. She probably told herself it looked trendy. Lol!
Wow…..she said that she has the text messages?
BrandiGlanville Brandi Glanville
@ @SparkleNLace? Really? I have text messages if u really wanna get into it all. Trust me u dont I’m not making anything up.Watch the reunion
Good for Brandi!
Wow, wow, wow! Having Jill confirm your feelings doesn’t bode well for you there Kyle.
OMG, Lisa’s Bravo blog has 1,500 comments and Brandi’s has 529. Their site is going to blow up!
What about Baby Jane?
Wow, the numbers of comments just dropped, but I kid you not, the other higher numbers were there. I didn’t make them up. Weird.
I still have Lisa blog up on my computer and it shows the # at 1409, I’m sure the minute I refresh it will go down then.
My comment made it intact,
One of the comments:
“Looks like Bravo is making you “Jill Zarin” of Bverly Hills.”
That’s rich!
Thank you Lynn. What a remarkable job you did with this interview considering the fact that you weren’t expecting the call and you were driving home from work and therefore couldn’t make notes. I’d never have been able to remember as many details as you obviously have.
With conflicting reports about whether or not there was a pre-reunion brainstorming session it’s apparent that someone is not being honest. Brandi seems to be fairly forthright so I’m inclined to believe that she’s telling the truth now. We’ve seen how Kyle handled the situation when Lisa told her about the email she’d received from Russell. On more than one occasion Kyle had the opportunity to apprise Lisa of what Russell had said when the foursome had dinner and discussed Lisa’s possible role with the tabloid article in question. Kyle, at the very least, is guilty of the sin of omission and in my books that smacks of dishonesty.
So right, PG.
Her conscious omission of consequential facts is nothing less than deceitful.
And like I tell my kids, deceit is in effect no different than a lie.
Lynn that must have been fun having the interview while driving. Were you pumping breast milk too? LOL, couldn’t resist!
Lol.
I was thinking the same thing – that she lied by omission. But I also wondered why she didn’t speak up at the dinner with the Armstrong’s. Why not say suggest they were jumping the gun a bit and maybe suing friends is a pretty strong reaction. Of course, they wouldn’t have changed their minds, but at least Kyle could have felt good about how she handled it. And an additional bonus would have been that the Armstrong’s probably wouldn’t put her in that position ever again as her silence at that dinner was probably taken as support.
My bad…I just came back down to earth…the above post presumes Kyle is normal and desires good friendships. Whoopsy.
Hey guys! I responded to some style questions on the morning blog so if you asked me a question, be sure to check out my answers.
I went back and checked and you gave some amazing advice. Thanks, Michelle!
Your tips were very good, Michelle!
I was always a loyal kyle lover. Yes, she doesn’t have the best taste in clothes, but I was in love with her hair. And in the first season, it seemed like she and Lisa were the breakout stars. Although it bothered me that finale scene with her sister, I understood how relationships with sisters are complicated, especially if you have a troubled sister.
Throughout this past season, I really stuck by her, even though she was cruel to Brandi and her bestie Lisa. And when she made up with Brandi, I kept thinking, “see? she’s just a normal person who makes mistakes”.
But this reunion really changed my mind about her. She is vindictive, mean, and manipulative. You can tell how she is seething at the edges over Lisa’s fame and Brandi’s popularity. She is reminding me more and more of Jill every day. Therefore, I conclude, I am no longer a fan.
Last season, I didn’t hate Kyle for the limo scene like everyone else did. Like you, I chalked it up to just pure frustration of having to deal with Kim’s issues for a long time. This season, I was really disappointed in her for the game night thing and had some harsh words for her right here on this blog. Then I kind of took up for her when everyone was on her about Kim and gave her the benefit of the doubt, thought she was a good mom and wife, etc. etc. Kind of fence sitting about her really. Then the reunion. Game over. Her true self revealed for all to see. Haven’t heard that much excuse-making since the red-headed shrew from New York used it to try to explain herself.
My opinion of Kyle timeline pretty much coincides with yours, BB.
I give Kyle a pass on all Kim related things – that relationship is twisted and hurtful and it goes both ways. Now I wonder if Kyle is actually capable of being a real, honest, loyal, got your back kind of friend. Yes she can comfort the broken but can she really have an adult friendship…. thinking that isn’t possible.
IMO, she comforts the broken so that they will spill their secrets. Then she banks those secrets to use as leverage at a later time. I dunno, I just feel like she is a very good manipulator.
I had kyles number when she pulled the “stop being insecure” to camille. I knew right then she did make those snarky comments regarding filming without kelsey. Mean girl throughand through . Sorry for typos typing o nthe nook andtoo difficult to edit
Come on now everybody. Kyle just wasn’t herself. That isn’t the real her. She was having a bad night. Really, that isn’t the “real” her. And it all didn’t really happen. You just aren’t looking for the right thing.
BTW I do believe Hoofy might want to “have a meeting” about setting Lisa straight, taking back control. I don’t doubt that there was a meeting suggested. Did they all actually agree and could schedule it in, I think not. So Kyle’s claim “that never happened” is likely true. But did they talk behind Lisa’s back and have some sort of discussions that lead to them attacking her. I’d bet money on it – at the Palms.
Ah, I’d raise your bet but I am playing at that other casino that caused the casino that unmasked the hoof….
You just cracked me up. In my head, I envisioned Adrienne on the sky deck, one hombre sleeve flowing in the wind, cat eyes covered with mask, searching the entrance below to pounce on Pandora. Luckily Giggy sees her and tries his best to muster up a big dog bark and let’s out a “hoof hoof”. Pandora and crew cring as “The Hoof” descends clothing a tote of cheaply made hooker shoes to use as torture devices! Unfortunately, her sleeve gets caught leaving her dangling. Lisa gets out finally and shoves one of those “cute little fat shoes” in “the Hoofs” mouth before unmasking her infront of the Radar Online reporters. Lisa being the proper English woman, turns and editorializes “It’s a Maloof hoof!”. The Radar Online reporter hands her a wad of cash as Adrienne whimpers. A cool 25k. Lol. Man, I love my pills!
Omg!! I totally followed that and LMAO!!
LMAO Pghemtchick!
Whoa! What kind of meds are you on Pghem?! Careful or you’re going to start thinking Kim makes sense. But it was a very colorful – and daring – adventure you gave us. Take care there.
This could have really happened! lol You crack me up too!
That was awesome, Pghemtchick!!
I love this so much!!!
Haven’t read all comments yet but just wanted to mention Bravo has posted comments to Lisa’s blog… almost 1400 so far! and from what I have seen, almost all totally in her favor.
I bet none of them have been moderated, which is good. Seems to be too many for that, so no editing most likely.
Glad Bravo is letting Lisa’s blog blow up. Now the hoof and witchy finger can’t possibly post blogs because they will be filled with caacaa………
I believe Brandi hands down. The whole thing was rigged to trash Lisa, and keep the focus off the REAL trainwrecks of the season, Trailor and Kyle’s drunk of a sister, Kim.
I was wondering, did Brandi give Lisa a heads up on what Baby Jane, the Hoof and Shana were up to?
Good question! I would hope so.
Everyone should read “House of Hilton” to see what the Richards clan are really like. You can read it quickly on your I-Pad or Kindle now. Their mother was the all time stage mother from hell and a drunk, and Kim is a drunk just like their mother, and has been for decades. They are about the most dysfunctional show biz clan since The Jacksons.
Oh gawd yes that’s a classic primer on:
How To Raise Your Daughters To Be The Modern DayVersion Of The Gabor Sisters.
Big Kathy was a vile manipulative woman who used many men. And when that didnt work she used simpleton Kim’s salary to support her lifestyle.
Kyle is so simple and delusional that she thinks it’s a compliment when people liken her to Big Kathy.
House of Hilton is a must read to get a real feel for Kim and Kyle
We just know don’t we that KYLE is lurking here reading all of our opinions re her “hard hitting, truthful, I always shoot from the hip, interview”.
I was just going to stop, and give her a shout out.
Hi there, Kyle!
Hi Kyle – get a hair cut you are definately not 17 anymore!
Yes Kyle, please cut that hair. It’s not cute.
I just checked Adrienne’s blog from last week and people are commenting on there since she hasn’t put up a new blog. She is getting slammed… maybe they don’t moderate old blogs, or maybe they are letting her get slammed…
Kyle’s too!!!
OMG! Lisa’s latest Blog at Bravo has 1,271 Comments ! ! !
That’s weird because it had over 1,300 when I looked earlier and BB said it had over 1,5oo before that. They must be editing!
I think they are…they posted a comment of mine to Dana but then took it down, haha
HA!
Lame right?? I hope she read it. At least there are some good ones on her blog, a couple made me LOL
Who?
HA! HA!
haha!
Not that she needed another, but I just added one to Lisa’s.
You know these comments sound a lot like the reunion. You guys decide what each person meant and what happened behind the scenes and go after whomever you don’t like at the moment. So many defended Kyle’s awful behavior last season. So many defend Brandi’s every escapade this season. Face it, Lisa is just as self centered as any of them but she has a pleasant personality and you like her so you over look her remarks and the way she doesn’t care about Kim or the degrading way she treated Cedric even though he of course was just a hanger on but she didn’t treat him respectfully. She doesn’t even treat her husband respectfully this season. She treats a dog like a child, she embarasses her son whenever he is on, I like her too but she is as flawed as the rest of them. In my book they are all self indulgent and catty. None of them would make real friend material.
I think Lisa is charming but I personally would have a hard time with a friend that makes cutting remarks, witty as they may be, all the time. Especially if it is directed at me personally. It may have become grating. I know women that do-do that all the time and all the “just kidding” and “it’s a joke” does get old. I have the luxury of removing myself from their presence. But if I had to deal with them for work I would be direct with them and tell them, in private, not in front of millions, that their little comments are hurtful and not appreciated. But I know I’m oversensitive and have no problem telling someone that I am and please be nice to me.
PP,
I’ll be nice to you for a price! ha ha
How is your daughter doing?
We go for a Sigmodoscopy on Friday. No blood today but not feeling good. But that could be from the antibiotics and steroids which are done as of today.
I find Lisa’s sense of humour hilarious ( she makes fun of herself too), but I completely understand your point and see how people could be offended. I agree that if someone has an issue with a friend they would tell them in private that it bothers them. Not say nothing to them for years then talk about them behind their back and bring it up on tv. That’s not how friends behave. Lisa has her faults like all of us, but I think we’ve seen on the show that she can take criticism, listen, be compassionate and move on.
One thing that really bothers me is Taylor. After the tea party and making up with Lisa and seeing the 2 of them being photographed together in real life online etc i would have thought that she was now Lisa’s friend- (even though I wish Lisa would see she’s a total sociopath! ) So I don’t understand why she’s not backing Lisa up?
Really wish Camille would stay off twitter, she’s undoing a lot of good work and good will.
Wonder when their PR spun blogs will arrive?!
Pmck,
Taylor and Lisa “making up” made for one of the greatest WTF moments in Kyle’s life! She just couldn’t believe that now they were friends and all is forgiven. Taylor saw an opportunity and took it. Yes, Taylor is showing Lisa what a “true friend” she is by sitting there and not saying a word.
Absolutely, she’s no ones true friend, including her own. Sad and scary all wrapped up into one.
Norwegian – You are doing it too.
“In my book they are all self indulgent and catty. None of them would make real friend material.”
We can only comment about what they choose to show us. If some are better at representing themselves than that is who most viewers will take up for. It’s no different than how we elect Presidents these days.
Kyles war with Lisa went into full swing at the teaparty…As soon as Lisa aligned herself with taylor and that story line Kyle knew she needed to amp it up..Kyle has always been a sneaky vile kyle…Dont forget that little phone call to Lisa the day of taylors award ceremony…She knew full well Lisa was not attending,,but just had to make that “innocent” where are you call…..
her fanous words at the dinner party from hell…
No Camille …it’s not who you are..It’s who you are pretending to be…… I am sure SOMEONE said those words to her BEFORE she used them at that dinner…….
Diva,
I think Lisa called Kyle, but I think the producers put her up to it. Cuz I thought the same thing but the 2nd time I watched I saw that it was Lisa calling Kyle. But I still think Bravo told her to call Kyle.
PP,
I think it was producer David Rupel AKA Dave Blah-Blah-Blah Blog where I read that the producers knew that Lisa was not invited to Taylor’s BS award. They wanted to catch “Lisa’s reaction when she found out” so, they asked her to call Kyle. Lisa didn’t know why she was calling. You are right.
How cruel.
Bravo TV for you.
The pathetic part is this producer (David) proclaims to be “an amazing storyteller” his words not mine.
I posted a song downthread that describes him better than that!
Kyle definately didn’t see Lisa’s brilliant chess move at the tea party coming! LOL, Lisa ruined the takedown and stole the other loony from Kyle’s stable. Lisa walked into the White Party not knowing what was going to happen to Taylor at Adrienne and Kyle’s hands and pulled out another win by trying to warn Taylor. Hehehe – Kyle just can’t catch a break!

@BrandiGlanville tweets to Camille and Lisa
@TheRealCamilleG @LisaVanderpump I luv u both I know Lisa didn’t want me on the show be4 cuz of C wrd.Who can blame her,she loves me now tho
Love her!
I hate it when I hear HW try and excuse their behavior like it’s normal and everyone does it.
RE: Lisa is my friend and I care about her. We have had our moments like any friends. I have to wonder why Brandi would make that up
I have never fought like that with my friends or had friends be so unkind to me. It’s just not normal and insisting that is reflects very poorly on Kyle.
Thats right VP. Look, Kyle wants the public to think of her like “the down to earth girl”. Kyle tries sooo hard to act like Bethenny its a sin!…Kyle is fake. She never told Lisa when Russell AND Taylor were going to try and sue her, not even when the White Party took place….Kyle and Kim Richards think, and I do mean think that they get a pass cause they are aunts to the NO TALENT Paris Hilton…I/we also think that Bravo believes if Kathy Hilton comes on the show just everyone will come running..Well we are here to say, “Bravo You Are Wrong”..Kyle proved herself to the public and just like Jill Zarin we saw through to the true bullies who care more for fame then they do friends and they are Kyle Richards and Adrienne Maloof, and yes of course Taylor Armstrong , but she will bring those two down anyway…Another thing about Kyle, remember season 1 when Kyle was having trouble with Camille, Kyle basically admitted that she was going to these tennis picnic and dinners cause she didnt want Mauricio to lose the Grammers Business, well sorry, but she was willing to act fake and lie to Camille in order to keep their money coming in to Mauricio…I just cant wait till Bravo gives Lisa her own show, she deserves it and it only goes to prove if ya stay true to who you are people will see it, we all know people have faults but if ya just “do you”, again the fans will follow and that is why Lisa has a great fan base!!!!
Your right! She is trying to create that Bethanny personal of “oh I just tell it like it is….” but it always backfires because she’s not authentic enough to pull it off and when she is sincere she’s still so out of touch about how a normal person lives it further alienates her from the audience- or at least from me. She suffers from the Beverly Hills Bubble.
Yeah, if Mauricio was smart he world divorce Vyle now while he style has a business left. After watching Vyle’s behavior, I sure wouldn’t want to list a home with him.
Why would Brandi make that up? Because she has felt like an “outsider,” Lisa is the fan favorite and also (formerly) closest to Kyle of any of the housewives, and it drives a wedge between Lisa and Kyle leaving a huge opening for Brandi to step into. And it also alienates fans who are looking for a reason to dislike Kyle further.
Question answered Kyle!
Brandi Glanville @BrandiGlanville
@MartinePirozzi I read a blog that said @KyleRichards18 said I was making some n up,I wudnt do that.I believed wat I was told & stayed away.
I wonder what blog she read? LOL!
That is pretty damn cool. Thanks for posting that PP.
I always smile when I see your name Boobah!!
That just made me smile!! Yay!
(It’s one of many nicknames I call my youngest cat)
Wow! Bravo is not censoring any comments on the blogs! 1000s of comments! The majority agree with our majority of course.
Mine hadn’t showed up this morning, but it’s there now. They must have just released them all.
Saw Windy City there right near the beginning. Represent WCW.
Mine was up this morning and they took it down
Yep, mine showed up too. I was surprised!
I saw you bama belle and WCW— not mine–
Easiest lie detector is to find out who has the most to gain by lying. Brandi might have been jockeying for a spot on the show by creating drama, but she told Lynn prior to the airing having no idea whether or not the tides would turn against Lisa. So if they did turn she’d be out in the cold…pretty risky.
Kyle on the other hand has everything to gain and little to lose by lying. Lying won’t get her in hot water with Adrienne, because she’s dog-paddling like mad right now and wouldn’t want this added to her list of transgressions. Lying will prevent more evidence of “mean girl” behavior which she flat out said during the reunion was a characterization that really bothered her. And last, lying might allow her to keep her friendship with Lisa.
To me, Kyle has way more to gain and less to lose than Brandi.
This makes a lot of sense, and I agree with you. It’s so funny how she tries to say she’s not a “mean girl”…look at your behavior!
I agree with your approach. But I’m not sure I agree it was such a risk after all for Brandi, because she gave part of the interview after her WWHL show where Lisa and her were #1 and #2 fan faves, respectively. Now Lynn can possibly clear up whether the accusations were in part1 or part2 (post WWHL) portion of the interview, but going into it knowing the viewers are inclined to side with her and Lisa, it seems to me more like a sure bet for Brandi.
I believe Brandi. I’m completely sick of Kyle now, and I gave her the benefit of a doubt for a LONG time. Re-read House of Hilton last month, and Kyle is an apple who didn’t fall far from Big Kathy’s rotten tree, just like her sister’s Kathy and Kim, damaged beyond ever being normal.
I’ve never liked Adrienne, little miss born with a silver spoon in her mouth saying that if WE worked “hard” like she does then we would be rich too. Right, you out of touch, delusional, freakizoid-wanna-be a Barbie doll from the 80′s. She’s turning into the cat lady, which on her is appropriate, since she is so catty. HATE her. Boring, full of herself, trampy looking bitchy jealous shrew who treats her husband like dirt.
Wow… let us know how you REALLY feel , Mal!
So Jill’s jewelry line launched today. Honestly, its nothing special. I can get a lot of the stuff for waay cheaper at forever 21. She basically borrowed the exact same styles as every other famous jeweler out there.
Collection’s are supposed to have a theme, a unifying element that bonds the collection. You can’t just have a random bunch of objects. You want people to identify your brand, not think you bought it at your local Zales.
hahaha I didn’t know Jill was coming out with a jewelry line. I don’t even wanna look at it
the blind hate for kyle is so ridiculous. she’s been painted as evil and now it’s a bunch of people validating what the other says about her. but the best part is that you all accuse kyle of being mean and a bully when, given your mean and bullying behaviour, that should make her your heroine.
It’s not ‘blind hate’. Believe it or not, people ARE capable of forming their own opinions. Maybe the majority of us think Kyle is an asshole because she is, indeed, an asshole.
That is one of my favorite videos. Too funny that you posted it.
I sing the chorus often, I watched his comedy video years ago and that song has just stuck in my head!
We here follow Newton’s Law of Bloggers!
Were it not for Kyle’s action, we’d remain in complete inertia!
(And no, Newton wasn’t a chess player.)
LOL! Lynn needs to install some version of a “like” button.
And the Hoof thinks Wayne wrote that theory. Lol.
LOL!
It may be hard to believe, but viewers do indeed form opinions on what they see.
I’m not trying to bully her at all, and I certainly don’t have “blind hate” for the woman. Kyle attacked Lisa’s character, of that there is no doubt. If Lisa is her good friend and she cares about her, she would have accepted Lisa’s apology and not tried to excuse her own remarks or accuse Lisa of manipulating.
It’s pretty clear IMO
I don’t HATE Kyle Richards. In fact I am probably more sympathetic towards her now than I was earlier in the season. I think she is an unhappy woman. But I don’t think she is as honest as she claims.
It’s shameful that you don’t have the intellect to choose your words more carefully when first joining a group. Not the way to win friends and influence people. Good choice of screen name though as it tells exactly who you are…..a nonentity.
That was obviously posted in the wrong place. My mistake…..sorry.
jennih……you’re making a lot of assumptions and one of those assumptions implies that you think we are not intelligent enough to formulate our own opinions. Why would you think that? Is it because you yourself are impressionable? I’m not and I arrived at my low opinion of Kyle early on in season one and my opinion was then and continues to be based on what I’ve seen. Your assumptions are offensive.
Guys if you read my blog today PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDQjyPX0aS8 it’s of my best friend Jan Broberg speaking on her abduction.
Wow. I am going to order her book Michael. What a a strong woman.
Hey!!! The tweet that Lisa retweeted was by me!! I am thrilled to death that she retweeted it, as well as over 200 people retweeted it. I felt famous for a day!!
I really think Kyle just wants to do super damage control. She even said to Lisa “you know how upset I was on how I was seen this season.” That’s all she cares bout. Not once did she defend Lisa on Adrienne’s ridiculous accusations.
Wow Sue!! Way to go!
SUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good for you, Sue! Yay!
Yay, Sue!
Kadooz!
WooHoo!!! Congrats!!
^5
This link has the funniest cartoons about the housewives….check out the one on Adrianne and Bernie. The one for reunion is spot on lol.
http://mickeymouth1.wordpress.com/
The one with Adrienne MadHoof and Bernie is sooo true!
I love the one of The Hoof as the Catlady!!
You caught that, lol. She needs to dial back the plastics, she’s getting a little scary looking.
They’re all perfect.
Thanks Minkey (｡◕‿◕｡)
Good Job, MickeyMouth! I love all of them but the one with “Chunky Hoof” and cook is hilarious!
“Chunky Hoof” LOL Only in Hollywood where even your shoe can’t be considered fat.
Thanks Mel, it seems that pic of Adrienne and Bernie was what a lot of people were thinking.
Lisa’s blog has almost 1400 comments, and from what I saw, all backing HER.
That’s the most comments on a blog I ever remember being posted there. Anyone know of more?
Mickey Mouth rocks.
Not in this franchise! There were 175 comments last night! That amount of comments… 1400 just LynnNChicago, dear!
Thanks Malina
INteresting that both Kyle and Adrienne follow Cedric.
Also that Lisa, Camille, and Brandi follow Randy, Russell’s blogging friend.
I’m not on twitter, so I had no idea. That is indeed interesting… I’m glad that Lisa isn’t as taken in by Taylor as she sometime seems.
As for Kyle/Adrienne following Cedric…that’s just immature, pathetic and sad. There’s no reason. So petty.
Kyle has always defended Lisa in regards to the Cedric issue. Why on Earth would she follow that loser? Anything he says is all over the blogs anyway.
It’s weird, right? I’m very surprised.
I am too. I really believe despite Kyle’s faults she really wants to be Lisa’s friend. Yes she has some problems with jealously and wanting attention but I think she still wants to mend their friendship. This would obviously be a huge issue for them.
I think they probably follow him to “direct message” (DM) him from time to time if need be. You can only DM people who follow you. If cedric were to write to them, they would have to follow him in order to reply. And you KNOW they have communicated from time to time. Messy ladies!
That is interesting.
It is very interesting that they follow Cedric. I cannot imagine how Kyle, who professes to be a “good friend” would have any kind of relationship with Cedric after he caused such pain to Lisa. She has absolutely no understanding how much of a betrayal that is.
It just seems to me it was Adrienne leading the attack on Lisa. Camille said a few things, Kyle made a BIG mistake not saying sorry for the prey on the weak comment, and Adrienne basically ran most of the episode with her attack on Lisa. So why is Kyle getting most of the heat? Yes a lot of these issues should be handled in private but when Andy is asking a question specific to the situation would you rather the ladies skirt the issue? Obviously not because everyone likes Brandi’s answers.
Kyle does have faults. She should have been a better friend to Lisa. No one should support Taylor. But to call her Mini Jill is a bit much. I see Kyle as someone who always has been referred to as second best a lot of her life: Kim’s sister, Paris’s Aunt, and now Lisa’s friend. I can see why Kyle wants some attention but I wouldn’t call Kyle’s splits worse than Brandi’s barely there clothes. They both want attention but go about it in different ways.
I see what you’re saying, and I haven’t said anything bed about Kyle, but I’m guessing that people are annoyed as she was supposed to be a real friend to Lisa. Adrienne and Lisa were neighbours and cordial, but Kyle was supposed to be her true friend. Also when people are saying she should have said it in private I don’t think they mean not mention it at the reunion when asked, more that if something annoys you about a friend you bring it up with them in person, or on cameras in this case. Not do it all behind her back, be friendly to her face then do a hatchet job at the reunion. Its sneaky.
So are people more disappointed in Kyle as she was a real friend even thought Adrienne is doing and saying more? I can see being disappointed but I was really expecting a lot worse before I watched the reunion and after viewing it I really only have anger towards Adrienne and her petty nonsense. Oh and Taylor but that is given. Kyle has some apologizing to do but I don’t see it being irreparable like it was with Bethenny and the Evil One.
The smartest thing Kyle could have done was apologize for the prey on the weak comment without trying to justify the remark.
But I don’t think she’s all that smart.
I actually have more sympathy for Kyle now than I did earlier in the season. This is the way I see it:
Kyle is very insecure and jealous. As Christina noted she may have always been considered second best. She thought she was the star of BH. Then her dear friend Lisa outshone her. She was older, wiser, and wittier. But Kyle was still younger and prettier so she didn’t mind too much. Till Bravo brought Brandi Glanville on board. She assumed that she and Lisa shared an animosity for the newcomer but she overplayed her hand at the charity event and game night. And surprise, surprise Brandi became the second breakout star of BH. She was younger, prettier and has the amazing body Kyle wishes she still had. Kyle has mentioned body issues on the show. But to add insult to injury Lisa liked her! Kyle still had Taylor though. Taylor needed her so much. And Lisa hated her so there was no danger of losing Taylor to anyone else. Until the tea party where Taylor schreeched how much she longed for Lisa’s friendship and approval. She begged, she groveled and Lisa relented and opened her arms to Taylor. Meaning Kyle takes the back seat again.
I can actually see how frustrating that would be for Kyle. I honestly think she is telling the truth as she sees it, she feels wronged. But I think she took it out on the wrong person. It’s not Lisa’s fault if people like her. And Kyle herself helped to make Brandi a sympathetic character. And she played both sides of the fence with Taylor and Lisa trying to keep them apart.
Poor Kyle. I think I understand her but it doesn’t excuse her actions. She needs to hire Howard Bragman and shut up and do whatever had tells her. Like Camille did.
Sorry, but a free spirit is different than an attention hog in my opinion. Brandi was raised by hippies, remember.
I hope there are changes next season. I’ve stopped watching NY and NJ as they turned into car crashes. I liked these shows originally as a wee guilty pleasure, a sneak peak into a glamourous world. They have become embarrassing caricatures of female relationships. i’ve stuck with BH only because I like Lisa’s sense of humour, enjoy some of the funny, silly BH moments and let’s face it they are the only ones that really have that “glitzy” lifestyle. but I will not continue to watch if it goes down the same dark path as the others. I think Lisa should leave like bethenny did, she’s got no reason to stay, if anything it could only do downhill as she seems to have a lot of good will just now, and these things can change season to season, there always has to be a villain. Which is so silly, I’d be delighted if it showed lovely women getting on with their lives and doing fun things. we’re not 5 year olds with no attention spans, we can enjoy a reality show without all the nonsense. I know I’d prefer it!
I gave up on NY a long time ago, but I was so disappointed by the most recent season of NJ. They ruined it, it used to be my favorite HW show.. definitely not anymore.
Fantastic blog Lynn……..very well articulated,,,,,,,I also just read brandies tweets regarding this blog …I’m very supriesed I’m sure u have read it thought?..anywY way here is my opinion about the whole Camille situation..as everyone knows I love Lisa vanderPUMP so I will stick up for her
)…………………
Dm: TheRealCAmilleG ”Lisa never wanted Brandi on the show. You don’t know anything.”
WOW, this is pretty powerful particularly since no one was talking about Brandi, they were discussing the accusation that Lisa sells stories to tabloids. Why would Camille bring up Brandi if not to turn this viewer against Lisa?
In agreement with Lynns opinion above, Camille sent that dm thinking we are stupid,but FYI Lisa already publicly said she had reservations about brandy,if you look at camilles time line you will see the conversation had nothing to do with brandy,it was about defending lisa.so in my opinion Camille thought she would use what ever information she had to make Lisa look mean to viewers even if it meant “old news”……..wtf ! does she think we only watch the show part time?….I feel she was defiantly trying to turn viewers against Lisa thinking we were dumb,,,,,after been called out about the dm,,,,,she now tweets(just to cover her back) somewhere along the lines ” that lisa didn’t want brandy on show for alleged friendship with Cedric and tht it was public knowledge blah…….blah………
This just proves to me tht camile is a coward, she thought she can send dm and twist the truth………..y is she pretending to be lisas friends..friends do not send the public dms and try to make others hate them.after getting caught she tried to make light of the situation by saying it on twitter like it was nothing….them y not just send it as a tweet instead of a private cloak and dagger message….very crafty and sneaky…..I don’t like her any more.# fake…….
Lisa had every right not to want Brandi on the show. What is Camille thinking bringing that up?
I’m just confused because I was under the impression that Brandi and Camille were friends. What, is Camille jealous now too?
I suppose she could be pissed that Brandi made them making out in Vegas public..
A lot of this makes no sense. I am still confused to what exactly happened at the tea party that made Camille and Lisa get in a fight. If Camille wanted to come out smelling like a rose she should have kept her mouth shut. Saying Lisa didn’t like Brandi in the beginning…isn’t news and frankly is the stupidest thing to use as revenge against Lisa AND Brandi.
Agreed, she just makes herself look like an even bigger idiot than everyone already thought she was. I’ve seen conflicting reports, does she want to do season 3? Maybe she is worried that she won’t be ‘asked back’ and is trying to garner some attention?
Camille seems to have NO real friends if that is the case. She had a few things to say about Lisa, she was glaring at Taylor the whole time, I am not sure if she ever really forgave Kyle, and now she is starting crap with Brandi and Lisa? What gives Camille? Is your PR person on vacation?
Well, don’t forget about DeDe. That woman seems borderline obsessed with Camille. It’s creepy. I love my friends, but that scene from the Malibu party episode…. It was unbelievable.
Other than that, you’re right. She seems to be starting problems with everyone.
Wondering what was talked about at Camille’s house when Brandi and DeDe were there……DeDe doesn’t seem to have a filter when it comes to defending Camille.
Right? ITA, she says she was “behind the scenes” of a lot of episodes as well. So who knows what she says off-camera especially.
I believe Kyle. I don’t think she has any reason to be jealous of Brandi. She has four beautiful well-adjusted children, a stable long term marriage, and is a wonderful mother by all accounts. Brandi was just trying to stir things up as usual, and now she is back peddling saying “someone who knows Adrienne texted me.” That is a far cry from Adrienne or anyone organizing an attack and a terrible thing to say. The sad thing is that Brandi really believes her gross distortions of reality and is managing to take quite a few people along for the ride. Including Lisa. How terribly hurtful to tell Lisa her friends are conspiring against her. Brandi really enjoys this because she has been jealous of Kyle’s friendships with these ladies all along. Lisa will be learning another painful lesson with Brandi as she hasn’t been a very good judge of character several times now when picking her friends.
Wow, I don’t think I could disagree more. Kyle is clearly insecure and loves to be the center of attention–and Brandi threatens that.
Like Kyle wasn’t spitting mad when Brandi came in 2nd in that WWHL poll? She wants to be the star of the show, and people liking Brandi more than her must kill her.
Hi Regina,
I didn’t see where Kyle was splitting mad that Brandi came in 2nd in the WWHL poll. Can you show me the interview or tweet or blog where she said that? Missed it. Thanks!
You believe Kyle and that’s your choice but Brandi didn’t have to tell Lisa that “her friends” were conspiring against her. The evidence was in the full on mean girl attack she suffered through on national tv. Lisa was stunned at the hostility and had a hard time coming to terms with Kyle’s betrayal. How is that Brandi’s fault? Kyle has to own what a lousy friend she is and you like her need to stop blaming other people.
I’m just blaming Brandi for starting shit, like giving an interview that says Lisa’s “friends” were conspiring to attack her in a premeditated way when she hasn’t been able to provide a shred of evidence and is now backpedaling from her original statement. For reference, from LynnNChicago interview:
“Brandi told me that she knew the ladies had met and discussed reunion strategy before filming, without Lisa! With the exception of Camille, the other ladies had pre-arranged the attack on Lisa at the reunion but Brandi refused to be a part of any of it!”
How does a supposed text from an “Adrienne Maloof business partner” translate to an accusation that the three people Brandi dislikes met and planned an attack? Also, Taylor didn’t attack Lisa at the reunion. The ones with harsh words for her were Camille, Adrienne and Kyle.
Lucida,
Regardless of ‘why’ someone should or shouldn’t feel jealous, Kyle behaves in a jealous way and Brandi does not behave that way. Who knows why someone is jealous of another? Only they know their insecurities. I agree, it doesn’t appear on the outside that Kyle should have so many insecurities, but the fact is she acts very jealous.
Taylor said back at the tea party that the women had talked and planned to confront Lisa together. Obviously that is not the same meeting Brandi talked about but it does show that they had all been talking about Lisa and were planning to gang up on her. So it’s not a stretch to think that at least Adrienne hoped to organize another ambush.
I would warn a friend that other friends were planning to attack/confront her – because I would want someone to do the same for me! Brandi has feelings and knows what it is like to be attacked by the Hyenas and the rest of the “ladies” just sat there and let it happen.
I did wonder, if Brandi knew beforehand, why she wouldn’t warn Lisa…
I guess I don’t understand something. Most everyone on this site and everywhere else on the internet calls Taylor a liar and manipulator, and Camille got very angry that Taylor insinuated everyone was talking about Lisa behind her back, so why is something that Taylor said when she was angry and trying to hurt now being used to back up Brandi’s accusations? Makes no sense to me.
Zoey……..this is what I was attempting to say but you’ve done a much better job of it.
Zoey I totally appreciate how respectful you are in your disagreement – thank you. I guess we all interpret behavior differently.
Brandi has been jealous of Kyle’s friendships with these ladies all along? What?
Where on earth did you get that idea?
Kyle may have four beautiful well-adjusted children and she may have a stable marriage but if so she doesn’t behave in a way that leads me to believe she’s grateful for that or that those things make her happy. She’s still a miserable bitch who vibrates at a very low level.
I disagree. Every interview I’ve seen and her behavior on Twitter lead me to believe Kyle is a happy, grateful human being. “I may not be the richest girl in Beverly Hills, but I am the luckiest.”She appreciates what she has and knows it’s rare. You are entitled to your opinion.
You seem to be looking @ Kyle through some serious rose-colored glasses. JMO..
Again you are entitled to your opinion, but my opinion is that ten times as many people are looking at Brandi through some serious rose-colored glasses. So I guess we are…even?
This is my scenario: as BG said, there was a meeting planned before the reunion, but it didn’t take place because Camille and Brandi wouldn’t attend. Imagine Kyle, Taylor or Adrienne then having a telephone conference during which someone said, “OK, we’ll just go ahead and ambush Lisa (remember: take advantage of her hospitality — free food! — but hate her) with all that stuff we were going to talk about at the tea party — feel free to embellish.” There was no physical meeting, but there was a meeting of the minds over the telephone. That way, Kyle is telling the literal (if not factual) truth.
I can see Taylor and Adrienne getting together and talking. They had to. Adrienne was leading the angry villagers against Taylor but now is supporting her the most? Yeah they got together and talked.
What I don’t believe is that they would invite Brandi. Brandi and Lisa were shown getting along on the show and publicly said after the show tapped they liked each other. So why, if there was a meeting, would they invite Brandi to bad mouth Lisa? It makes no sense at all unless Adrienne’s people didn’t get the memo and invited her by accident.
I agree. That’s why I asked the question upthread.
WHO called Brandi? And WHAT exactly did she say?
“Hi I’m Adrienne’s assistant and I am calling to invite you to the We Hate Lisa party. I was told to invite all the housewives except for Lisa. Can I put you down for one?…..Oh you actually like Lisa….err….Never mind!” CLICK
Did it go down like that? Also the Adrienne and Camille both said BRANDI told them that Taylor knew about the lawsuit email. Why is everything getting told to Brandi?
Thank you Christina and Nancy for looking at the facts of the situation and being the voices of reason in the minority on this one. Brandi says she and Adrienne hadn’t spoken since the reunion (she says this in her Bravo blog and also she said it on the reunion Part I). Lisa and Brandi are exchanging public tweets and being very friendly. So Adrienne invites her to join in a Bash Lisa Planning Party? And does so in a way that leaves an alleged text trail? I think not. Adrienne is nothing if not shrewd.
Yes, Adrienne showed her shrewdness at the reunion by accusing Lisa of selling stories to tabloids and calling her a liar about it several times. Oh, and letting her Chef badmouth her friends on his facebook page Very shrewd, that Adrienne. I’m not getting into who’s telling the truth, Brandi or Kyle, because to me it’s not that important and it’s becoming a game of semantics on both sides.
Adrienne is a “Shrew”! What she said at the reunion wasn’t a shrewed move.
Adrienne is nothing and is not by any stretch of the imagination shrewd. Get a grip.
She definitely showed her a$$ so to speak on part 1 of the reunion. Shrewd would not allow one to do that.
Hi Jeff…..someone else said that the Hoofster is not shrewd but is a shrew. And ain’t that the truth?
She certainly came off that way. Much to her apparent regret and she was left sitting there all alone.
“PG” – Clearly, I disagree!
Adrienne is quite shrewd in almost all business matters and if Lisa approaches life like a chess game, so does Adrienne. I see Adrienne is getting no love on this blog, but I don’t see anything wrong with playing chess. I fault neither Lisa nor Adrienne for being shrewd.
It just happens in this particular case that Lisa has been more skilled at reading and manipulating public opinion, hence she is the fan favorite and Adrienne is getting skewered. I like Adrienne and I think she will recover. I think she was told to amp up the drama this season and she complied. Lisa is always dishing it but she cries like a little baby when someone volleys back.
Adrienne’s family businesses are bleeding money right now. Their money was made by their father/grandfather and this generation hasn’t done quite as well = not shrewd imho
Everyone’s businesses are doing poorly – well, most. There’s been a 5 year recession.
Adrienne is not even a businesswoman, never mind a shrewd one. She and her males sibs inherited their money and appear to be squandering it. I believe that due to cultural disparities the Hoofster, being a woman, does not participate in the running of the family business but is merely a figurehead. However, if you can give examples of her astute business sense I’m all ears.
You certainly have an interesting outlook on life. Why does it have to be a case of “Lisa has been more skilled at reading and manipulating public opinion”? Do you believe everyone calculates their every word, thought, move? Could it not be that Lisa is just simply living her life as the authentic being she is?
The Hoofster is the one who went into the reunion with an agenda; Lisa did not and therefore if anyone is calculated it would be the Hoofster.
LOL I <3 you "the Hoofster"
And I still cannot believe someone is seriously calling Adrienne "shrewd"…gmafb!
Believe it. Shrewd.
Shrewd.
I can do this ALL day
PG – I will have to do it somewhere I have more space – it is getting to the end of the page here. And my kiddo needs help with her homework right now – not making excuses, will answer your question thoughtfully before I make another post!
Hey PG – I am responding in a new thread at the bottom of this page if you’d like to hear what I have to say.
Could well have happened that way.
Well since the call took place before the reunion I don’t see why Brandi and Adrienne not talking since has anything to do with wether or not it happened.
Brandi originally knew Adrienne. She was her introduction to the show. Adrienne made nice with Lisa all season while sniping behind her back. Why wouldn’t she think Brandi would do the same?
Good Job Lynn!
So sad that Kyle sat there quietly as Adrienne launched into her attack on Lisa. At last year’s reunion, Lisa interrupted and came to Kyle’s defense when the “bully” accusation was lodged by Camille over and over again. No loyalty from Kyle! Kyle has to create friction in order to make herself feel important!
IMO – they all have dirt on Kyle because she is a gossip and her only course of action is to stay out of fights so nothing gets turned back on her!
So true. She only has two modes…silence or attack and nothing in between. She criticized her sister for not coming to her defense when she knew the truth last year but she wouldn’t defend Lisa when she acknowledged in Lynn’s interview with her that she didn’t believe that Lisa sold any stories.
To me Kyle either doesn’t realize that she is saying one thing but doing another, or she’s a dishonest person. We can very obviously see her behavior, so which is it?
She may truly think she is those things she said to Lynn and earnestly keeps ‘saying’, but there is a huge conflict in what we see. Just doesn’t add up.
Bravo is publishing some pretty nasty remarks to Adrienne and to Kyle on their blogs from last week. Hmmmmmm
Lost your chess game Kyle. Too bad, so sad.
I skimmed through those. Some of the comments are GREAT. Love that they are both facing such a public backlash, karma really is a bitch I guess.
Just read the B side blog recap on the reunion. The photos and captions are priceless. http://www.bsideblog.com/2012/01/real-housewives-of-beverly-hills-reunion-photocap/#more-16264
That was a lot of captions. I didn’t make it all the way through, but the ones I did read were very funny.
I was trying to eat dinner and look at them at the same time. Didn’t work out too well because I was laughing so hard.
I can’t believe you guys would even twist Camille’s words to suit this…she clearly stated at the reunion that Radar told her the same thing about Lisa, but she didn’t believe it -she thought they were just trying to get her to feed them gossip.
It is just shameful that you all don’t have the intellect to hear her own words. And that is pretty much what she said in her tweet dm.
“You don’t know what you are talking about”….translation: she never made an accusation-she actually told them she thought it was dubious information.
As for Lisa never wanted Brandi on the show- that is actually really public and you are simply making something out of nothing. Lisa thought Brandi was a friend of Cedric’s and did not want her on the show. Lisa has practically said it herself.
ps- you missed the best tweet out of Camille yet, while focusing on this nonstory crap.
oops- your loss. I wouldn’t be surprised if it is erased in no time at all.
Oh, I didn’t know you were Camille’s translator. Yes, we all know Lisa didn’t want Brandi on the show. So please tell me again why Camille tweeted that tidbit of information, since you are her translator.
This one you mean? HI CAMILLE IF YOU’RE HERE.
@TheRealCamilleG lynnnchicago.com/?p=4511 here you go
LME… It’s prob the tweet about the ALLEGED abuse.. I copied it and have it…. so it can get erased…LOL LOL LOL
back to work….UGH
You’re good, Diva, you’re good! Now, don’t work too hard! Lol and a BIG Wink!
Cool Diva!! It’d be great fun if Camille gave Lynn an exclusive!!!!!
I agree and I thought Camille handled herself perfectly at the reunion. She was direct and HONEST without flying off the handle or hitting below the belt. She did so well in a true no-win situation.
I also think Camille did well at the reunion. She was honest. She didn’t always agree with Lisa but she didn’t attack her.
And I didn’t need a “translator” because Camille was echoing the dodge used that Lisa didn’t fall for but that apparently Adrienne did fall for hoof, line and sinker!
WCW…….hilarious……hoof, line and sinker. That is just priceless.
It’s shameful that you don’t have the intellect to choose your words more carefully when first joining a group. Not the way to win friends and influence people. Good choice of screen name though as it tells exactly who you are…..a nonentity.
Maybe there was no formal meeting and maybe the ladies didn’t discuss the reunion tactics even casually. *I stress maybe* Maybe the producers could have stirred the pot on this one.
Here’s why I say this: A relative of mine was on a popular wives show (not on Bravo) and I attended the reunion show with her. She was like Brandi – not a full-fledged housewife.
All I can say is everything was so heavily orchestrated even down to dressing rooms. The producers made it a point to keep certain wives away from one another so you really don’t have an idea about what’s going on. If you’re only acquainted with the other housewives it is possible to be totally in the dark. We befriended her security person who scouted out information for us. During the course of a very long day in that room, different producers would come in and say certain things to plant a seed to boost your ego and tick you off. Depending on your mental strength, that seed grows. Even the executive producer and a network executive came as a final visit to make sure she was good and stirred up. They then took her to the green room to watch what the ladies were saying about her. It’s all done so smoothly but really they want you good and angry when you get on stage. I cannot stress just how stressful the whole experience was – and I wasn’t in the hot seat. I’m glad I went because she really needed the moral support.
I do know that the producers would call her all the time to ask questions and talk. They’d act like her friend to gain her trust and tell her about the other wives. The producers called her almost every day the week of the reunion taping. It’s a serious mind game they play and it is like chess.
Sorry this is so long! Just wanted to share!
Bosandi you’ve been holding out on us!
Yeah I’m sure Bravo knows which buttons to push.
I think alcohol also has a hand to play in this reunion. Maybe Brandi was kept back stage and was given lots o drinks. That is why she was ready to go the moment she walked out while the other ladies were coaxed into “fighting” over many hours. Was your friend given tons of booze backstage?
Are you saying Brandi was drunk when Andy asked her a direct question and she gave a direct and honest answer?
No I am saying people who have something to drink lose the filter connecting from their brains to their mouths. They might say things differently had they not been drinking. Liquid courage and all. Brandi came out with guns blazing.
Well, I think that’s just how Brandi is. She doesn’t hold back or beat around the bush. She wasn’t any different at the reunion than she was the whole season.
“Are you saying Brandi was drunk when….”
Well judging from the amount of Brandi’s screen time spent drunken this season, I’d say there is a .40 probability that she was in fact drunk or under the influence at any given time filming! Adjusting the confidence interval for editing, of course.
Didn’t mean to hold out on you, lol. I’m actually embarrassed that she was involved with this particular show or reality TV for that matter. They offered her a FT slot but she declined. Those women are snakes and what you see on this particular show is how they are in real life.
Everyone had their drink of choice. The producers make sure that you have what you like to eat and drink well before you show up. So imagine being so nervous that you can’t eat a thing, you’re there all day and you start drinking to calm your nerves – not a good outcome. My relative thankfully didn’t drink much and was pretty well composed. I drank her bottle of champagne, lol, and ate her food.
Imagine being tipsy, no food and you have these slick producers telling you stuff like “you’re a fan favorite” “We need you full time” “Your episodes scored the highest ratings, ever” “All you can do is be honest” “Be yourself”, etc. Then another producer might come in and ask you about another wife like “are you close to so and so?” They get you on camera saying yes, we’re friends or whatever, then they make you watch episodes of the show and live reunion clips to discredit any feelings that you thought you had. It’s a mind f*ck for sure.
Yes, but the thing is that Kyle, Taylor and Adrienne have all been ugly to Lisa.
Yep, they sure have been ugly. No matter what a producer could have said to stir the pot behind the scenes doesn’t take away personal responsibility. They in no way get a pass from me.
Gosh it is like a dog fight or something, making sure everyone is as pissed off as ever.
I can see producers doing the same thing with Brandi, going back and saying “Wow your friend Lisa is getting slammed, Adrienne is calling her a liar, ect ect.” It is hard enough reliving the past but with a bunch of people whispering in your ear to be the next Teresa and flip some tables/ Andy I can see why the off stage people come out upset.
I would probably be so bored waiting so long for my turn I would yell at everyone. Like let’s get this over with I got places to be!
This crap about Kyle being jealous of Brandi is just too much-jealous of what? Her body? its not like Kyle is out of shape. Her beauty?-Kyle is not an ugly duckling. Her fame?-Kyle didn’t know Brandi would become popular with viewers while filming. Her life in general? Kyle seems to have a pretty good life-no? Beautiful children-a gorgeous(in my opinion) attentive husband a lovely home…etc. So what exactly is she jealous of-Brandi’s younger but there is no getting around that!!! I don’t think Kyle is jealous of Brandi at all..
Did anyone else notice at the reunion how quick Lisa was to call Kyle out about game night-she turned on Kyle so quick-saying that she thought Kyle was aggressive and scary and she did it to show Kyle how quick she could make people believe it or not. That to me seemed to be pretty calculating on Lisa’s part. I think she maybe be the smartest woman to ever be on any of the HW .
As far as Brandi saying in her interview with Lynn that there was a secret meeting-I don’t buy it-I don’t think any of them called Brandi and invited them to a meeting. I think maybe Brandi knows how to stir some shit and look good doing it. Now she is saying that Adrien’s partner sent her a text about it? That is not the impression I got from reading the interview-in the interview it seemed to me that one of the HW’s called her…and I believe that is exactly what she wanted us to think as we watched the reunion.
I don’t agree with you, but at least you have some good rationale to back up your opinions and for that I say thank you. Your points are well taken and are food for thought. I guess we’ll just have to see how everything shakes out, but for now, I tend to believe that at least a strategy was worked out with K-A-T before the reunion and that strategy was to make Lisa look bad. It’s pretty obvious. There are no pure innocents among the group. Of that I am certain.
I do agree with this. I certainly respect your opinion, I just disagree. Thanks for the insight, its interesting to see your reasoning.
Great post! Better articulated and reasoned than mine. Agree with you 100%
I agree!
LOL, well, I’m glad we can find SOMETHING to agree on, you and I!
Kyle seems to be jealous of anyone who takes attention away from her. Just look at the relationship between her and Kim.
Thank you all for the respect-agree or disagree-respect is always appreciated!!!!
missregina……ITA. Kyle is not at all evolved and I believe she is guilty of committing all of the seven deadly sins.
Yup, I think so too.
IF you read her text she said that ADRienne invited her to the meeting and her biz partner stated that they were going after Lisa. Brandi never stated which housewife invited her (i am sure she kinds still likes Adrienne and didn’t want to completly throw her under the bus). I think it is after Kyle called her a liar that she fought back. She even stated she has texts. Brandi comes across to me like a pretty toough biatch. Push comes to shove she will defend herself…especially if someone is calling her a liar.
As far as jealously…i do believe that Kyle is jealous. Brandi comes on for half a season and is the most popular “friend” of a housewife and she doesn’t like it. Lisa has the biggest fanbase on this crew as well. I believe Kyle came on board thinking she would be the queen b and that she would be the fan favorite.
Given the fact that Taylor herself stated in front of all the ladies that they talk behind lisa’s back….I do believe they discussed their beef against Lisa prior to the reunion and probably countless other times and Brandi called them out. Adrienne is being extremly quiet because she knows she looks like an azz and is doing her best to not dig herself even deeper.
Kyle has mentioned being insecure about her body since Portia’s birth. So yeah, she could be jealous of Brandi’s body. As a recovered anorexic I can tell you what your body really looks like isn’t the same as what your mind tells you it looks like.
I’m very fit myself but I would kill for Brandi’s long lean legs.
I would kill for Brandi’s legs and a few other body parts..that makes me envious-not jealous.
I’ll take her butt if it ‘s still up for grabs!
Re: the JEALOUSY-
Mel you helped me make my point-Kyle could not have been jealous of Brandi during filming b/c she had no way of knowing that Brandi would be fan favorite or most popular or what ever that poll was about. Sometimes women just do not like each other-why does it always have to be “she is so jealous”?…It just sounds so high school.
Because that’s how Kyle acts! Grown mature women do not act like Kyle does.
I never said Kyle was jealous of Brandi during filming…i am talking about during the reunion. However, reflecting on her comments during the season i think she WAS threatened and jealous by brandi. Even Paul called that one. From talking about how tacky of her to not wear a bra during the party….that catty remark after Brandi called Kyle’s husband hot…..the continous snarky comments and facial expressions toward Brandi…….
When the show started to air…I DO believe Kyle was shocked at the level of fanbase that Brandi got. Since she wasn’t a housewive officially i think Kyle was hoping that Brandi wouldnt get the cut.
Kyle was a biatch during filming because there was new blood and Kyle wanted to maintain her head B position. She was not so nice to Dana either, pamdana nearly had to kiss Kyle and kims azz to be accepted. She rolled her eyes Dana’s comments and didn’t even invite her to hawaii.
Kyle changed her tune about Brandi during filming because she didn’t want to look like the villian. She cleaned up her act toward the end to make sure she looked good. She was attempting to clean up her image, especially after last season.
The producer said that Brandi was actually asked to come to Hawaii, because Camille was fond of her and that I guess there would be someone for her to play with.
I know Q posted the link to the interview on her site Today and complimented Lynn for it.
Other bloggers…are not taking it so well… There is one trying to score an interview with Kyle by telling her via Twitter that she was shocked she gave the interview to Lynn. After a couple of exchanges, she goes on and says…”…next time yu can do with (Blank)” I’m not giving her the free adversting.
…and no it is not I Devil in case you were wondering…
Oh lord the pettiness from the reunion is making bloggers of the reunion crazy. If they want an interview with Kyle why don’t they ask her instead of putting down another blogger?
We’ve been asking that question for a long time on this blog.
People are really putting Lynn down when Kyle was the one who initiated contact w/her? Jealousy is an ugly thing.
I just noticed that. What a shame. Lynn did a great job.
Some do ask for interviews, but they get Dana Wilkey
I saw that too VAlleyVal.
The sad part is that EVERY one of these bloggers have said things at one point or other that have gotten them in hot water. It’s sad when the bulling leaps from the tv screens and connects to the blogesphere. I guess pettiness and immaturity tracends beyond the housewives series.
P.S Lynn you did a great job on both interviews (brandi and kyle). You got more substance in these two interviews then many of the other bloggers have gotten in all the combined interviews they’ve done with Brandi.
Read Brandi’s twitter. Someone said she was lying and she said she has the text messages to prove it.
Now I know the next thing everyone will say is… “show them”. But even though I’m pissed right now at everyone but Brandi, Lisa and Camille, I wouldn’t even show the text messages, that getting tooooooo deep into it. But I dare Adrienne to say that nobody contacted Brandi and the claws will come out!
Brandi also said to watch the reunion. So, more to come on Monday that will shed light into this.
Well… I as read all the comments posted here today and over the last couple of days.. and I have watched the reunion FOUR times…ya know ..for research.. all I can say..
None of these women know the real meaning of FRIENDSHIP… they all have their faults…some more than others and some are sneaky just for the attention…
and now I have LUGMANS song stuck in my head…. Money Cant Buy you Class…
Need to go KILL AN earworm now… LOL LOL LOL
Oh Diva, now you have that song stuck in my head too
I laughed hysterically when it came out, and then realized the joke was on me when I was singing it in the shower days later.
I know that “Taylor” has two of them for you. (earth worms that is)
Good one, Nancy.
Like I said Diva, none of these women are innocent.
Water….water…..water…..(crawling to this blog) So many blogs to get here.
Is this the blog we’re on? Thank you.
Yes, dear one. How are you?
Hi boston! How is everything? Still playing your harp? Hope so.
I just ordered a pizza. Drop on by if you can.
Hi Guys, I’m doing well. I haven’t been playing Nancy. I’ve been so busy with school and work that I’ve hardly have time to scratch my own butt! When I do have free time I take a running leap to the couch with my blanket. But all is well.
Well I hope you can get a chance to listen to some great harp pieces. Great one with cello and harp. Cannon.

Lynn this is really interesting in the middle. Turns out the Maloof’s owe over 150 million (basket ball team alone) and there is more about how much money they’ve lost on the Palms beneath that.
Might be worth a column!
The lost all but 2% of The Palms this year too, right?
Hmmm, may Adrienne will have to learn what “hard work” is after all?
Nah, she’s got a rich doctor husband that perhaps she should start treating better?
Not to mention they sold off the beer distribution company in New Mexico that essentially made their family rich. Throwing good money after bad so they can invest in a sports franchise and casinos? Beer distribution might not be glamourous, but it sure does pay the bills. However, apparently, the Maloof Companies own a very large stake in Wells Fargo Bank which is trading around $30 a share and appears to be a pretty stable institution.
I know! It certainly might explain Adrienne’s bazzzzerk behavior over Lisa’s daughter’s Bachelorette party.
I mean, if they were reported to have 300 million (between them and their mom) and just in that one article they OWE more than 150 million from bad management, they what other blunders have they made? Oh and that’s not counting losing the Palms (a stupid investment, bad location) and whatever they lost there.
Apparently when Adrienne “works hard” it’s a blowing over half of her inherited money. Maybe she should flip burgers instead? Or stop being such a see-you-next-thursday to her husband, who at least, makes money instead of destroying it.
Kyle went on to say, “You’re asked in-depth questions and you’re expected to answer, I’m always honest, that is one thing you should know about me, I have always been truthful and I am an honest person.”
I don’t think Kyle is honest and never have.
We know Kyle is dishonest because she referred to herself as Lisa’s friend. This is an obvious lie.
From an email. This little girls voice is beautiful.

boston,
We are going to her concert in a few weeks. We’ve been following her career
ever since we saw her on America’s Got Talent. I’m so glad you posted this.
I had no idea she was on America’s Got Talent. She’s amazing. The concert should be nice.
We’ve seen her before. David Foster is her agent.
Not bad for a little girl. She’s a doll too. Her parents
keep her very grounded. Hopefully she won’t let it get to her head.
I don’t think anybody is saying that Lisa is a saint. All of the women have flaws. Some of Lisa’s comments may rub people the wrong way, but I don’t think she ultimately has bad intentions. Does that mean no one can call her out? No. But some of the things said and done on the reunion did not seem to have honest intentions behind them. I got the feeling that Adrienne was on a mission or something. When you have a problem with everything that somebody does, that pretty much means you don’t like them. She has the right to not like Lisa, but she might as well just say it. Next week when Brandi says some of Adrienne’s employees told her that Adrienne did not like Lisa and she told Lisa, Adrienne doesn’t say “that’s not true”, she says, “why would you tell her that?”
I think that is where I stand with Kyle. She should have said some things in private but overall I think she said things she truly meant. Even if she was stupid with the prey on the weak comment. She was voicing things that she was upset with Lisa about but wanted to remain friends.
With Adrienne it does not seem real the way she is calling out Lisa. I agree it seemed anytime Lisa talked to Adrienne it pissed her off. Sorta like at first everything Brandi did pissed off Kyle. And probably why a lot of people here don’t like Kyle and talk about everything she does.
Everyone is talking to Brandi. X___X And Brandi is spillin all the beans. Me thinks no one will tell her anything next season.
I have been wondering what X__X means? I’m a little slow when it comes to some of the text symbols/acronyms. Thanks.
It’s the face I make when things don’t make sense to me. Like my eyes aren’t comprehending the crazy. Like it seems to me a lot of things have been told to Brandi (Taylor/Email of Suing, The We Hate Lisa Party, and now employees telling Brandi that Adrienne hates Lisa) and I wonder how on Earth she came to know all these things. Or why people would confide in her when she is a newbie and no one knew which “side” she would take.
That may be why. When you are new, you have no alliances. While that may be a put off for some people, to others it may seem like fresh meat.
Christina, thanks for explaining the face symbol. I realized that I should be prefacing all my posts with that symbol as I feel dumbstruck most of the time by these HW shows! Lol!
Kyle was pissed at Lisa after the tea party because Lisa did the right thing and gave Taylor the friendship she needed to have at that time. The preying on the weak remark was a cruel slap to both Lisa and Taylor.
Well I took it more like the Tea Party was so hellish Kyle could not comprehend Taylor and Lisa making up so fast. Taylor was trying to make Lisa’s even the We Hate Lisa Prequel and it ended with Taylor and Lisa holding hands promising to go to Disney together. Maybe Kyle was pissed but to me she was like wtf did I just experience?
Hi WCW,
I couldn’t agree more. Do we know when the reunion
was taped? I wonder how the relationships are today?
I was taped two or three weeks ago.
Reunion was shot a couple of weeks ago. Kyle reaching out today makes me think that next week she will look even worse than in Part One.
I wondered that too!
Love your recent work!
Thanks WCW!
OMG I love the “who wore it better”. Fun stuff there.
Thanks. Anytime I can use a Seinfeld reference I’m in, lol.
Reunion was taped Jan 5th or 6th. I tweeted Lisa about surviving it at 12:30am on the 6th so I’m guessing the 5th.
Just an FYI on Jillo’s latest newsletter. Why she still feels the need to send these dull letters out is beyond me.

Oh I forgot. Lol, look at the new pic’s of her photo shoot. Can we say touch up? Massive touch up?
The hearts bracelet from her $1 store line too closely resembles that punched tin jewelery you get in those bubble gum vending machines….if she did one in just solid substantial silver or even in brushed silver it would look really good, but covered in rhinstones it looks like everything that is already avaliable at Claires.
huh…I’d almost forgotten about her
It’s funny that she seems to think she still has fans. Well, maybe people in other parts of the world who haven’r seen her bad side come out yet…
It’s just so sad. I almost feel sorry for her.
I wonder how much of a commission Maurice (formerly known as Maurico on the show, suddenly Americanized this year) made from selling the Vanderpump/Todd mansion? And this is how Kyle repays Lisa? No wonder she is lying through her teeth, IMO. I’m sure the people in the platinum triangle will think twice about using Maurice since Kyle is such a back stabbing bitch who will just lie her way out of a situation, after first taking the commission money, OF COURSE.
Yeah, Kyle is not doing any favors for her husband’s business….
Do we know for sure Mauricio was their R.E. agent? If so the fee’s 6% of sales price.
Yes, he was their agent. The asking price was 29 million. Maurice had an online listing for it here (the link no longer works since he sold it):
http://50beverlyparkestate.com/description.html
The house sold for 19 Mil. Mauricio was the listing agent. If he just had the listing he is entitle to 3%. About $600K.
Somebody correct me if I’m wrong, I remember when S2 started I commented on Kyle being a little cold to Lisa (remember episode 1 Adrienne’s dinner party hijacked by Taylor). I wondered at the time if it was because of who Lisa gave the listing of her house. I never really got a definite answer, but somebody posted that Lisa gave the listing to Martin, her longtime friend and the commission when they bought the new house to Mauricio. This would mean that Mauricio got the smaller commission. Do we know for sure how it went down?
Zillow.com article that I looked up yesterday mentions that Mauricio was the listing agent for the existing home. Zillow article says the listing price was originally 29 Mil and it was sold to a foreign investor for 19 Mil. Regardless if Mauricio had the existing home listed or if the Vanderpumps purchased one of his listings, Mauricio made a bunch of money.
Which enabled Kyle to get her “dream home” how ungrateful can one woman be!!!!
I believe I read that they took a loss on the sale of their original house, just to unload it, so Kyle could have/buy her “dream home”.
what i don’t understand is why people like Adrienn become so petty , so hateful so ignorant and a random rumor mill , and Camille stay out of it , Adrienn will sell you in twinkle of the eye,
Old SWSNBN was trying for the past week to beg for extra followers or whatever to 240k by yesterday and after checking she still have the same 234K she had last week….
whhhaaa my comment didn’t post
I want to believe this interview from Kyle, and to believe that she had no ill intentions towards Lisa.
This is so hard for me to believe because Kyle spins like Crazy every time something might make her look bad. I remember after that party when I was still team Kyle she went in on how she comes out looking bad whenever her sister is around her. She loves to throw the negative attention on someone else, well all of them like doing that, but I’ve seen it a hell of a lot more from Kyle.
I honestly still believe that The ladies on couch B used Lisa as a tank, (A tank in the gaming world is someone that is used to go into a battle and take all the damage)
Now even though I do really like Brandi now, I can’t just say there is no way Brandi is lying. But with Kyle’s track record for covering her ass. I’m leaning more towards Brandi as the truth in this.
I don’t know why Camille felt the need to justify what she said during the reunion about being told Lisa was selling stories. I got from what she said was that she was saying basically, “I was told the same thing too, but I know that people will say anything to try to get you to talk to them.” I think she should have basically left it at that and called it a day. I was hoping she was good friends with Lisa, but who knows…still I think she has displayed much better behavior than last season. So kudos.
I was a fan of Adrienne & Kyle last season, but seriously the way they acted on Monday was beyond lame.com.org.inc.com.org.inc…you get the picture..it was just lame.
For me Lisa is still hella real..and so not part of the fakery. Hence why I <3 her
I’m with you. I’m not sure how the confusion of what Camille said came about. To me she did back up the claim that the Radar Online reporter said that Lisa sold stories, but Camille basically said she didn’t believe that and proceeded to keep her mouth shut (Adrienne, take note).
Dear Bravo,
I will watch any show you create for Lisa Vanderpump. I would love a show featuring Dr. Paul (sans Hoof). It would be a great move for your network if you guys created a standard for “classy” (I know I shouldn’t put that word in writing) reality TV and kept to it as some of your HW shows are verring into the Snookie territory. I really have no taste for the low rent stuff that Marlo, Nene and “Talls” are dishing in Atlanta or the petty jealousies of Hoof, Vyle and Traylor (jury is still out on Camille.)
Best regards,
Your Audience
It was disappointing to see Lisa attacked and not have her “friend” Kyle come to her defense or every the idiot Taylor. (And btw, BECAUSE Lisa spoke up about the texts from Russell I am not as skeptical of Traylor. Lisa lends credence to Tthat she can’t get on her own…) T should have stepped in for Lisa but alas nothing. It’s like they are politicians polling to see where the wind blows instead of being decent, gracious human beings. I know Lisa is intimidating (she must have dealt with this stuff all her life) and I know her remarks can be a bit biting but what makes her humor so fun is that she is spot on – she is the Greek chorus in this show – they should be kissing her derrier. I wish she would make a clever comment about my business so I can get so much press or better yet let me be her next project please.
Lisa should not rescue emotionally damanged people and start rescuing people who actually have a strong future that needs a jump start…:) End of rant.
“Dr. Paul (sans Hoof)” hahahhahahah I think I love you.
And I forgot to add…way to go, Lynn! Congrats on getting your interviews and having them picked up by other sources. Awesome…but not surprising.

I never spoke to @KyleRichards18 I was asked to meet by Adrienne I didn’t go. Adriennes biz partner said they were going after Lisa!Simple!
So we need to find out if Kyle and/or “Taylor” met with Adrienne for this meeting.
“Villa CaaCaa” has Kyle written all over it as she is the mistress of poop. So I believe that Kyle and Adrienne did try to coordinate an attack on Lisa.
Wow! Hell is going loose soon!
Is that our sparkle?!
I think everyone knows that Lisa is a confident, straight-forward person and has no problem articulately speaking her mind. I think that they anticipated that she would be giving her honest opinion and depending on what that was, they would need to be able to go head-to-head and be able to articulate it well.
I think the problem was that Adrienne over reached. She came out the gate swinging and did not stop. It was overkill. Instead of just defending her feelings or opinions, she seemed like she was attacking and her pure dislike for Lisa showed clearly. Whoever said the best offense is a good defense was wrong in this case!
Love your name, Sho’Nuff, and completely agree – Adrienne came out swinging about such petty nonsense, and I think by the end of that part of the reunion, she knew it as well. Epic Fail on her part.
What sweet revenge for Lisa that in just a day she has close to 1400 supportive comments on her blog. Put that in your pipe and smoke you dumb BH broads.
LOVE this! So true….I’m glad Lisa came out on top in this situation.
Just got around to watching reunion- must vent for my own sanity
Kyle & Hoof: Have we learned nothing from “she who must not be mentioned?”
Never….Never gang up against the most popular cast member because you are not as beloved lest you suffer the same fate as JZ.
For BH women they know nothing about PR (contact Camielle’s people- they did an excellent job.) Kyle is just bitchy and wants to be the queen but can only do so through bullying and manipulation (and still fails) Hoof is supposidly a powerful biz women but she cries when someone calls her little doggie a name? For 2 seasons Hoof has brought nothing in terms of story lines or interesting conversation- Let’s not confuse refined with dull. Obviously the 2 witches are jealous of Lisa. Hoof would rather believe”what she heard” over what her ‘friend” says- Klassy
BTW- don’t judge others when you come off like a humorless, cranky wizard (that dress!) You just cannot judge others when you look like that- that’s ‘not nice”
Cannot wait for more of Brandi calling people out on their shit. I love how she just rips people’s masks off- In a way she is like the voice of the audience- much like Bethenny was (although they are very different)
Kyle and Hoof need to go into damage control overdrive. They need to go back to Housewife university and take a refresher Housewife history course. We can learn a lot from the mistakes of those before us. People love Lisa and now will love her even more.
Breathe…..Namaste
That was a great post. Thank-you.
They already are. Brandi tweeted Adrienne “@AdrienneMaloof My phone cut off, lunch tomorrow we can sort this whole mess out!”
I’m sure when Adrienne heard Brandi saying that she had text messages to prove who contacted her, she decided to put that fire out quickly. The bad part is whatever they discuss, Brandi will tell it if she ever has to defend herself.
So many “new” posters! If you would like your name added to our birthday lust, please post the date under here. jeang, did you have a bday & didn’t give it to me? Let me know.
Birthday LIST…NOT LUST!
Dame,
Get your mind out of the gutter.
I was going to make up another birthday date so I could get in on that birthday lust……
You’re already on that one
Windy! Good one!
Lust is good…
it was jan 29th.
Brandy just tweeted:
@AdrienneMaloof My phone cut off, lunch tomorrow we can sort this whole mess out!
OMG poor Brandi. This is never going to go away now.
Nancy, I have been studying for the Aquatic Rehab Specialist class thus weekend. Damn…you need to take the test for me! Too much physiology! I’m a Caoomunications Studies major…I talk good…
Really? Do tell. I’d love to see your textbook. Fly me out there and I’ll take your test.
But you would miss George’s homecoming! Lynn is really stirring the pit, usint she? I’m so glad she got two exckusuves; never a dull moment! How you doing?
I’ll order a pizza for him.
Is it a difficult course?
Are you ever going back to work? How is your back doing. I sure wish FLG would check in with us. I’m
worried about him.
I’m doing fine thanks. It is lonely around here though.
We don’t like spending time away from each other.
Hi Nancy, Diva, Lynn and all of you special people! I’m still around. My health is not improving. My illness and the move we made in 2011 was physically a bit too much for me. Hubs and Mr. Tigre are doing fine. I hope I will start to regain some strength and rejoin the group. I miss all of you and read the blog when I have enough strength. I need to get feeling better so I can feel sparky and snarky! Hugs and lots of love to all of you!
Dame, Cusi and everyone else, special wishes to all of you as well!
Oh FLA, a million hugs to you! Do as you’re told & get better. Check in when you can & email if you’d like. Lovelovelove! Dame
Best to Hubs & Mr Tigre
Thank you so much Dame! ((((Dame))))
FLG,
Left a post downthread for you. Is there anything we can do for you? You have been so missed.
I’m going to be sending you an e-mail soon.
xoxo
FLG. I am wishing and praying with all I have that your health will improve and not just so you can come back to us, although that would be so great. Hugs, FLG.
Hello FLG……..It’s so nice to see you here. So many people have been wondering where you were and how you were doing. Please do get better soon and don’t be a stranger.
Peace and Love
Helena
FLG! I’m late, but wow we missed you! You’re on my prayer list along with your hubs and Mr. Tigre too. I hope things turn around for you soon. You deserve to be happy and healthy after all the stuff you’ve been though. I’m hoping February is a month of positive change for you. ((((((((FLG))))))))))
So glad you checked in! Worrying about you and missing you and wishing you improved health.
Communication…jesh…I’m dine.
Don’t worry I got it. (Says a lot about me, eh?)
Wow, Lynn, as one of the original, professional premiere HW bloggers, the upstart college groupie fangirl got big-time jelly over this:
Her tweet:
@AllAboutTRH I’m shocked @KyleRichards18 did an interview with someone who harasses bullies and bashes many people…actually I’m not
Oops, meant to say “over you” not “over this”
But y’all get my drift.
I don’t know if anyone mentioned this earlier, take a look @ Kyles’ blog comments from January 25th. They are not flattering. Not at all.
kari, as well as Adrienne’s blog from last week. There are 100s of posts from today (or there were)
I have to wonder if Bravo set this entire thing up.
They didn’t have to post any of those harsh comments to
Kyle and Adrienne but they did.
Bravo’s job with the blogs is to feed viewership and get higher Nielsens. I can’t believe Nielsen is still in business. You’d think, that with digital TV, it could be directly compiled through Comcast. Or something.
Great job, Lynn. Congrats on chatting with two housewives in less than one week.
Very impressive, to say the least.
I’m hopping on here to write that I looked at the tweets from the person who threatened Taylor on Twitter. (You can find them on topsy.com – all public tweets remain recorded even after the account is deleted.) Anyway, the person who tweeted that is definitely over 45, most probably male, and has lived in Los Angeles. Although they have a female avatar, they make reference to “cholo” (old l.a. expression) mention “The Gap” (to Melissa Gorga, I think) and are referencing a really, really old song. First they tweeted Courtney Stodden, then Gorga, and finally, Taylor. It sounds like an angry, bitter person – it doesn’t sound like something Taylor (or an associate) made up.
Just my two cents. Not that anyone asked me. Heh.
Also drunk. It sounds like a drunk person.
Hey 5, great detective work! So sorta a serial threater? I do hope Taylor is safe (i just threw up in my mouth a little bit)
I don’t tweet but I believe Taylor and I told that yesterday, that threats are to take seriously always and since she is in the public eye now and there are a lot of crazy around, she should avoid personal appearances… JMHO>
Cusi – Ha. Well, I dare say Taylor will enjoy the police protection frenzy. There’s always that. Will sell more books. I’m sorry, I didn’t realize this was covered yesterday. I just hope they really followed through with police report.
DR – Howdy! It’s awful. I’m sure she’s safe, and I was tempted to think she was behind it – but it’s just too weird. Even if those other tweets were put up to throw people “off scent” as it were, it’s still bad. It “sounds” drunk. On the other hand, if they don’t call the police… hmn.
Also… the correct “terminology” in reference to Melissa Gorga would have been “chola” not “cholo.”
This sucks. I hope they get the IP of that person and call the police, etc. I can’t stand Taylor, but I hate (really REALLY hate) cyber bullying even more. It’s cowardly and disgusting.
I think they want her book to flop.
this adds to the interest though. eesch.
I have not been around much. Nancy, I notice George is out of town from upthread. Have a lovely time when he gets back.
xo

Thanks V5.
How have you been? Did you hear about that
horrible accident that happened in your state this last weekend? 10 people were killed. I thought about you and Diva when I read about it.
It’s almost impossible for me to feel any empathy for the shady shyster but death threats are a very scary business. I know this from personal experience. When a stranger finds your phone number and leaves messages on your voice mail telling you that they know where you live and they are going to come to your house and kill you, it’s really freaking scary. I’m a tough cookie but this guy scared the crap out of me and it took me a long time to overcome that fear.
Unlike Traylor, I certainly hadn’t done anything egregious that would warrant a death threat but psychos are not the most rational of people. My picture was taken at a vigil outside San Quentin prison on the eve of an execution and it turned up on the front page of the S.F. Chronicle, above the fold, the following day and that was enough to piss someone off. And that made it relatively easy to find me.
So, this one time I do feel empathy for her. But that doesn’t change the way I feel about her overall. I’m still looking forward to the day her book comes out and Diva compares her timeline to the alleged “facts” the shyster has cooked up. That will be a red letter day for sure.
Oh please, Taylor probably thought she got away with her fake text from Russell that she showed Lisa (the one Lisa talked about on the reunion). Frankly, we all agree that Taylor sent the e-mail from Russells phone for the ladies to see, just like she had the black eye all of the sudden cause she knew the ladies were questioning the abuse and she now wanted to have proof. Sorry, but I would not put it past Taylor to have hired someone or Taylor herself is sending the threats.!!
I’m glad you brought this up. Remember when Taylor called the Lisa in Hawaii to tell her she and Russell had split? Lisa’s first comment when the phone was ringing was, “I don’t recognize this number” or something to that effect. I think Taylor had a second phone and the text that was supposedly sent from Russell was a fake that Taylor sent to it. I know it sounds far fetched, but the look on Taylor’s face when Lisa brought up the text on the reunion said a lot…as if she was thinking, “yay…it worked!” Just my conspiracy theory two cents.
I had a big long post written up but screw it. Fact is, I don’t know what’s going on. Fact is, once this show is over and until the reruns hit, little of it will matter to me. My eyes will perk up when I see my girl Brandi on screen but even with her, out of sight out of mind. I’m just not vested enough with any of them to continue blaming these school girl games on one or the other. Bottom line is, I like Lisa, I like Brandi, Sometimes I like Kyle. Kim needs a lot more help than she’s getting. Adrienne looks like a complete idiot right now but I’m sure she’ll recover. Lips McGee is hopefully on her way to prison. Camille is still Camille but only in self protection mode (I’ve thought that all season long). It’s fun to snark on these people, enjoyable to watch them have fun, but I cannot outright hate any of them, well nearly any of them.
I stated upthread, that if you look at Exactly what Kyle says, she’s probably telling the truth. This was pointed out by someone on the previous blog. If you look at it in any other way, you’ll see lies. That’s why I said then, and now, only if you can see what was said, Verbatim. To say she’s Jealous of Brandi, well, she may be. I think image envy would be a better phrase. I’ve been reprimanded here a few times to look at how someone grew up. What they grew up with. Frankly, I’m surprised she’s as stable as she is. She could be a lot worse and more deserving of the venom. She’s not a drunken junkie (a disease, Not a moral flaw, I know that), she has 4 beautiful kids who by all accounts, are well grounded (I guess we’ll see with Portia), Her husband didn’t cheat on her with an 89 pound skank (wouldn’t be her fault if he had just like it isn’t Brandi’s). She doesn’t have a whore of a daughter who’s claim to fame is a ‘leaked’ (yeah, Right) porno tape and a piss poor one at that (since she was also brought up as a source for Kyle’s ‘insecurity’).
I’ve seen a few here state that they don’t like Adrienne because she was ‘born with a silver spoon’ and says that anyone who works hard can be a success. Honestly, I’m looking for the crime in that and can’t find it. Because who she is born to is not in her control and she’s right about being successful. It may not happen with the first, second, or even third thing you try but if you give up, it will Never happen. It’s also entirely possible you’ll die trying.
Their biggest crime from what I can see is going after Lisa. Who, btw, Does have a very sharp tongue and one backed by her Brittish accent. Again, I like Lisa and don’t particularly think she means anyone any harm. I also believe she will apologize to someone just to shut them up. I think Anyone would if pushed to that point. I know I would. However, I do think that if anyone had a problem with her, it should have been privately discussed. I further think that None of them are innocent in this war of words (let’s call it what it is). They’ve all said things in the THs that could be taken as offensive to someone.
Now tell me this, If they had gone after ‘the extra in the background’ or Lips McGee, in the Same way, would we all be just as pissed at them? Or would we be cheering them on? I don’t know the answer for all of you but for me, as it relates to the TV show, I’d be cheering them on. We were all hoping that Lips M would get hers at this reunion.
Well, I guess I replaced one long post with another one. Peace people. I’m going to hit the DVR and talk shit about Randy, Stephen, and Jennifer (at the screen).
Well Jeff, if you’re gonna be all logical like that, it’s hard to pick a fight!
Tweets:
Somebody tweeted Lisa the below:
@blawren2 @LisaVanderpump had lunch at your restaurant on Monday…beautiful decor, great service and food!
Lisa retweeted and added: At villa caca?
Another Tweet from Lisa:
Wow…Bravotv.com is exploding with your comments..thank you all for the 1400 of them,I am reading …:)
Tweet by Brandi:
Let’s all just get along ok? Xoxooxoxob
Lisa replied:
@BrandiGlanville ok:)
Awww, I really do like her. Love that she is taking the “villa caca” thing as a joke, its so silly.
The comment is offensive because Adrienne didn’t work hard for her money. It was handed to her. A lot of people who work very hard all of their lives do not become multimillionaires, but that doesn’t mean they are slackers.
Also, I doubt Adrienne has ANY concept about working hard. She seems stupid to me, and bitchy. If her money hadn’t been handed to her, I can’t in my wildest dreams imagine she would be rich. She’s not clever. She’s not pretty. She has no taste. She’s bitchy. AND, on top of all of that, it looks like daddy’s money has been squandered by her and her brother’s mismanagement, so she’s done the opposite of making money. She’s squandered it.
There’s just as much prejudices against the rich as the poor. She shouldnt have her birth status held against her any more than a person of lower wealth shoukd.
Well, she is the one who made the tag line.
I know; no problems here.
Hi Dame……are you feeling better at last? I hope so.
I started disliking Adrienne when she started making mean comments about Lisa. Like the CNN comment at the royal wedding.
She was a big disappointment last year, but I thought she was too guarded like we didn’t really get to know her. This year is another story. She’s messing with my favorite and that in my book is a no no.
I’m not saying she hasn’t stuck her foot in her mouth a few or more times this season. She played the game, played it the wrong way, and appears to have lost.
Mel,
When it was announced she would be part of RHOBH, I was really looking forward to seeing her. I was familiar with her background. I was disappointedly because she never took a stand on anything. People thought she was drama free and above all. Instead I saw a very guarded person.
I’ll just reiterate something here. I respect everyone’s right to their opinions and views. Further, often times I agree. Sometimes not. That’s life. Before RHOBH, other than Kim R, I never heard of Any of them. That shouldn’t shock anyone as I simply don’t follow the who’s who press because I just don’t care. My interest here is little more than a television show. At this point in time with the Real Housewives shows, I don’t know why anyone is surprised by what they see. I understand that with some of these women, what we thought they were, and what they’ve turned out to be, is a disappointment.
We, myself included, are attacking Kyle and Adrienne for being attackers and 2,3, or 4 faced at that. For being vicious behind someone’s back. Someone we like. Most of us anyway. With Lisa and her class act talk no shit it’s a joke image though, I go back to two events (though I still Like Lisa). Kyle’s charity event, and Camille’s event. While the others were junior highing it up talking smack about a woman they just met, Lisa appeared to be gleefully a part of it. So in My mind, she was in the same cesspool as the rest of them. Granted, at the time, Lisa believed Brandi had ties to Cedric and was looking at her through those glasses. Still though, she was on that bandwagon of trash talking with the rest of them. Far from grown high class as far as I’m concerned. What turned me on her was that later in the season, before any footage aired, Lisa appeared to give Brandi the benefit of allowing her to be herself and not just some acquaintance of Cedric. It appears to have turned out well between the two of them and I hope they remain good friends.
Well Mel, what can I say. We woman are wired differently than men and react differently to the same thing.
I follow the NBA so, I am familiar with the Maloof family.
I was just letting you know how disappointed I was with Adrienne since S1 nothing more nothing less.
I enjoyed Lisa since Season 1 and in my eyes, she is a class act, witty and very accomplished.
Lisa and Brandi didn’t interact much in the beginning of filming. It was until the Hawaii trip that they spend time together. Nobody claims Lisa is perfect. She made the mistake of trusting someone who she thought was a good friend.
It’s bed time for me Good Night.
On the chance you come back and look VV, I hope you don’t think I’m arguing with you. Not the case.
Sorry, I have to disagree. Lisa was the adult at the fundraiser and approached Brandi and spoke with her forthrightly. Lisa was not in the corner with the other crones.
Then I apologize to Lisa for not remembering Exactly what went on.
THAT’S your definition of success.. Multi-Millionaire. Well, I guess you’re always going to be banging your head against the hate wall. They can all be pretty bitchy IMO.
Jeff,
My daughter just told me she was going downstairs to play video games with her brother. He is 21, she is 18 and they have a fabulous relationship. Coming from the hell that was my sibling experience……That is MY definition of success!
And a good one it is. Hope your daughter is on the mend soon.
Nancy, course isnt hard, just lots of anatomy. I’m worried about FLG too. No one has heard from him. I have to type real slow – carpelthumbal tonite! Gonna watch Face Off BBL.
Be careful about your carpel tunnel. That’s what started my RDS.
I had surgery for my carpel tunnel. Biggest mistake of my life.
If I only knew I would have never had the surgery.
Good luck with your test. No cheating!!! ha ha
No…carpelTHUMBAL…I can’t hit the right keys on my phone!
Surgery did help you? Sorry!
No it was the surgery that caused the RSD.
he commented up line
Goodness gracious! The comments to Adrienne Maloof-Hoof are too much!
This is from Bravo’s site, I am just the messenger Adrienne!
“”Submitted by Cynthia on February 1, 2012..
Adrienne.. i really liked you Season 1 although it was disturbing how badly you treated your husband.. and am i surprised how you could treat a supposed friend? Your a back stabber and made a fool of yourself on national TV along with your side kick Kyle… if you both left the show I’D BE THRILLED… how your husband stays with you is beyond me… Looks only go so far.. your mean spirited heart is a whole other dimension. Lisa is a CLASS ACT and you owe her an apology since your accusations esp. re: Radar was WRONG.. they announced this themselves… Also re: Pandora’s shower.. why didn’t you approach Lisa? why would she have to approach you…? After seeing the type of woman you really are.. when i go to Vegas.. the Palms would be the last place i’d visit!! Lisa if your reading this… hold your head up high.. Kyle and Adrienne aren’t worth another Thought and are NOT YOUR FRIEND.
P.S. If i was LIsa.. i’d file a lawsuit against you without hesitating for character assasination.. esp. when Radar revealed she’s NEVER SOLD A STORY.. shame on you!!!”"
Well that was rather harsh!
See what good old jealousy can do?
A sincere apology would be an alien concept to Adrienne.
Look how she treats her husband. I used to think it was all for show but I’m not so sure anymore.
FREE PAUL!
WOW – pretty strong. After reading Jeff/Mel I have to agree with him, in the long run it doesn’t matter. However for now it’s entertaining and we relate to these kinds of behaviors in our lives all the time. I just ended an almost 30 year friendship because of constant passive aggressive remarks, to the point that I couldn’t take it anymore and felt very used in the friendship. I think Kyle lives in her own world and likes being in the middle of things, if anyone sold stories it would be Kyle or Lips McGee Kyle becuase she has a nasty shopping habit and Lips cause she needs the money asap. I think Lisa has her moments (like anyone else), but she is likable/lovable and has worked very hard to get where she is. She was not born with a silver spoon. Adrienne lives in a rarified world of her own making. I doubt very much that she makes any major business decisions, and is not involved in the day to day operations of the Maloof family. Bernie is part of her survival/comfort – he feeds the family
and probably has other things he does – she will not part with him over family, friend or foe. I am glad that many of you pointed out that there is still a s1 Camille lurking and she is probably a mix of s1 & 2. They have their perceptions and we have ours. But I still can’t believe how hard they went after Lisa. I think it is a simple fact of jealousy of her popularity and fan base – all as simple as that. JMHO
You are right about Adrienne not firing Bernie. He is confort for her. I seriously think Adrienne is a loner who doesn’t have many friends.
ITA. I would love to see her interact with her children.
Maybe I would think differently if I saw that.
good grief, good point about Taylor needing the money…gosh
i mean that is so obvious but it’s almost like Taylor is channeling the whole ‘the bigger the lie the more believable’ thing
i swear when it comes to the Lisa ‘hit campaign’ i have to believe that somehow Taylor is involved in every single bit of it. She is diabolical and so scary…she was determined to make Lisa pay, pay, pay for throwing suspicion on her to Kyle last season. She probably got someone with a British accent to call Radar Online and pose as Lisa…NOTHING would surprise me at this point…
I sound like I might be needing a tin-foil hat soon, but I just have to wonder if somewhere in Taylor’s evil little brain, she knew that a lot of things were going to go down in her life, and she started planning way back for there to be a ‘fall guy’ to take some of the heat and focus off of her. Lisa was a perfect target, because Lisa saw through Taylor from the beginning, like Kim did. There is absolutely nothing a liar hates worse than someone who can see them for what they are, because that becomes a mirror of their own self-hatred, which they can’t tolerate feeling.
You got it Cusi!!….”Piss on the Palms”!!!!!!!!!!
I apologize if this was already brought up… but did anyone read Dana’s blog and the part that basically says Adrienne’s business means more to her than Lisa’s does to Lisa? She’s talking about the comment Lisa made about the shoes and states that Adrienne’s business is “sacred” to her. She says she knows Lisa’s restaurants are too but not to the same extent. What an a$$hat. Her entire blog was bs, but that stood out to me. I’ll be shocked if Dana is back next year. Like I said before, 99% of the comments are negative… love it!
I didn’t read her blog because I didn’t see what she could add to anything. Considering she barely knows any of the ladies outside Taylor she needs to keep her mouth shut.
who?
Lynda Erkiletian tweeted. Seems she thinks they had worse problems on DC than suicide… Good grief, these women are competitive!
Lynda Erkiletian @THERealL… 2h @LisaVanderpump @BrandiGlanville the reunion so far is making me uncomfortable! Please tell me part 2 is a love festival! Women for Women!
LynnNChicago @LynnNChicago 2h @THERealLyndaDC @LisaVanderpump @BrandiGlanville You know better Lynda! You’ve been there…
Lynda Erkiletian @THERealL… 1h @LynnNChicago @LisaVanderpump @BrandiGlanville so true but we had Real issues #spindoctors #whitehousebreakin #crazybs BH is high class
mary wilkinson @marywilki… 1h @THERealLyndaDC @LynnNChicago @LisaVanderpump @BrandiGlanville Lol everyone thinks their issues r real, they had a death #rhobh
Lynda Erkiletian @THERea… 54m @marywilkinson57 @LynnNChicago @LisaVanderpump @BrandiGlanville true yet they are living in the moment. What’s worse? Living in the past.
If Russel hadn’t died I would compare the DC gifters to the BH gifters. But now that I think about it there were very few issues other than the gifters in the DC season. A few racial/gay right moments but that was actually better (well…not matter but more relate able) that petty dog/shoe issues.
I’m probably crazy but an insult directed at my dog would hurt me as well. My problem with Adrienne is I rarely see her with her little dog so I’m not sure she was actually hurt.
I get ticked when someone calls my cat fat but not heated enough to get mad on national television. But I didn’t get my cat to make my rich neighbor jealous so there is probably a slight difference. XD
Do you really think that was the reason she got the little dog? Please don’t say yes.
I think that it is a trend (lately) for rich people on TV to have hand held dogs. So I don’t think it is out of the realm of possibilities that she got JackPot because she saw how popular Giggy became. She did give away a previous dog (or was it two?) so I am side eying her decision to get another pet so soon. But maybe the dog costs like 5k and that is the real reason she bought him, to have another expensive accessory in her house.
I’ve always wondered why she gave that German Shepard away.
“Taylor” also gave away a little dog but we know why now.
Sociopath!
Yeah Russel was so abusive Taylor gave away the dog he gave Kennedy without batting an eye…then got her a horse! I think giving a horse away would be a lot harder though. Unless it was a Rent-A-Horse.
Oh my goodness I was so angry when Taylor gave away that little Maltese. My little Lucy is a maltese, and if a dog can be “hypoallergenic” she is pretty close…doesn’t shed and never bothered my allergies. T is just a pathological liar I guess.
I agree w/ Christina that Adrienne’s desire to buy Jackpot may have been fueled by Lisa’s “success” with Giggy
The problem is that Adrienne openned a Twitter account for her dog and she named it “TeamJackpot” Why “Team”? Why not just Jackpot?
She got a cat now… Next will be a parakeet … anything for attention.
Ugh the twitter account for your dog/small children (Some of the babies in Teen Mom have “twitter accounts”!) is so strange to me, but you’re right, Adrienne was trying to make it into a Jackpot vs Giggy thing all along. WOW holy run-on sentence! Sorry.
Yes
That was weird.
Left you a post upthread.
CarpelTHUMBAL…can’t type on my phone. No carpeltunnel.
I get it. I’m happy now.
Nancy,
Left you a message up thread. Wishing all of you the best!
Left you a message upthread too! Hugs & kisses & love to you & Hubs & mr Tigre. Take care! Luvluvluv!
FLG mi amor! Where in heavens have you been? I miss you!
I miss you, too Cusi. I don’t have the energy to post but hopefully I will feel stronger soon. (((Cusi)))
Sending Prayers and Angels your way
~~{{{FLG}}}~~
FLG,
I’m so happy you posted.
I have been thinking about you all the time. You are so missed around here. Is there anything we can do for you?
Love, Nancy
I don’t believe Kyle, she has been caught in too many lies to count. I do think it was a planned attack on Lisa, and Bravo was all for it. Bravo doesn’t want to own up to their part in Russell’s suicide, so let’s create this drama with our fan favorite Lisa. Obviously Kyle and Adrienne are all for it, Bravo may have paid them extra…who knows! Lisa looked so hurt and shocked, all the while Kyle, Adrienne and Taylor seemed so smug and proud of themselves. Also, Andy’s questions totally fed into their antics, which really makes me believe it was all part of a set up.
I think you are into something, Juli… It could be like you see it. It didn’t occur to me but what you said makes more sense to this none sense.
If you watched the NJ reunion or the NY one, Andy feeding them ‘the right’ questions on a preplanned attack shouldn’t surprise anyone. He’s always going to be the biggest bitch there and his handlers, Bravo, have trained him well.
I have to wonder if part of the trouble is andy is so damn drunk most of the time. He probably doesn’t remember key parts of the story line.
Bravo is now REMOVING comments, Lisa used to have 1397, now has 1384. Kyle used to have 254, now has 238. Others have probably changed as well.
Something tells me Kyle and Adrienne are not happy with the comments and are getting Bravo to take the ones that say they suck donkey balls down.
Earlier today Lisa has as many as 1500 and I believe Brandi had as many as 529, then a minute later, they started to slowly go down.
It think it’s too many comments for the site to hold honestly. Everybody’s # of comments keeps changing. They probably keep redistributing them, but keeping them at the same amount.
Nancy, are you still here?
Do I imagine or it was said that Kyle is now co-producer of BHHW’s? If that is the case… I am afraid we will not be watching Brandi next Season…
Hi Cusi,
I’m back. I needed to practice for a while. This blog is making me into a very
lazy cellist. Not good.
How are you doing?
Cusi, it was in a link to an ” insider” spilling rumors I think.
Hi all– Wow– what a Big day- congrats Lynn–2 exclusives that is awesome. And so many new people—welcome—-Dame, I was not the sparkle involved earlier. ( they didn’t even post my comment to Lisa @ Bravo–(I think I mentioned Taylor and prison).
I have an entire houseful of girlfriends here for the rest of the week. We are playing tourist and wearing our pj’s and watching movies and eating brownies. If someone seriouly tried to hurt me or used my name while discussing some frivilous lawsuit, one of these women would eat them alive like a rabid dog.
I like to hope Lisa has real friends like this, but then I think Kyle was her BFF last season and I know that can’t be true.
So glad FLG answered. Has anyone heard from the Empress or have I just missed her?
Hi sparkle, good to hear frim FLG, huh?. Still no Empress. Have a great girl’s week. Just make sure two couches are never used. That seems to cause feuds!
will do–wish you were here!
LOL, I love “I think I mentioned Taylor and prison.” @@!!!
Have fun with your girlfriends, how fun!!
lots of love and prayer to princess beanie boo with test–I been thinking about youse guys.
I know, I took up free time to search for my comment then it occured to me about the prison part
Empress has her own blog now.
Oh! That’s who I’m talking to? I’ll be darned!
Ha ha!
Wasn’t that funny!
hi nancy, I’m turning into a pumpkin–up so late, how r u?
Fine thanks. You?
Princess, i keep chasing you. I was so sorry to hear about poo. I sent many prayers your way. What is happening now?
appt on Friday for sigmodoscopy.
Good. Let us know ok?
sparklemuffy……..it sounds like you’re having a blast. Empress has been blogging but I’m not too good at posting links.
http://realhousewifeofaiken.com/
Hopefully this link works.
there you go! thanks bb
I am alive and well! Thanks for asking. I gave myself a promotion and should have sent out the announcement. Doing a little writing of my own now. Everybody knows that only a relocated Yankee would gossip in such a manner – well, at least admit to it.
Empress, put up the link. I love reading your posts.
FLG, we ended up ships passing in the night, but sure glad to see your posts and hope all goes well in the future.
City
Thanks Cityside,
BB beat me to it re: the link, upthread. Thank you for reading.
Here’s my made up scenario and how nobody is “technically” lying.
Adrienne/Bernie/Adrienne’s Biz partner decide to have a little pow wow with some of the other housewives to prepare for the reunion. They aren’t going to include Lisa because she has just been voted favorite housewife and they want to take her down a few pegs. They want to invite Brandi because she talks and may spill the beans about something Lisa said about one or more of them and they will be able to use it against Lisa at the reunion.
Brandi declines and Camille declines. That leaves Taylor and Kyle. Perhaps because of scheduling conflicts, a sit down get together was never held; however Adrienne or Adrienne’s biz partner could have informed Kyle and Taylor about Adrienne’s plan and told them what Adrienne was going to bring up at the reunion. Kyle may have also put her two cents in. Meanwhile, Brandi has every reason to think a planning session occurred, even if it didn’t.
So technically, neither Brandi nor Kyle are lying. That’s exactly how I think it went down. That’s my theory and I’m sticking to it.
c’est possible
You could be right. I do believe that Brandi was contacted, and as she states on her blog once she got on set and saw how upset Lisa was, that confirmed it for her. On twitter these past few months Kyle was always tweeting that her and her husband were out to eat with Adrienne and Paul. She even did last week. It’s obvious that they are very close (probably new BFFs). So of course it’s normal that she would discuss Lisa with Adrienne or know what Adrienne was going to say about Lisa. And need we say more about Taylor, she’s right there with them. They’re her two guard dogs!
Honestly I don’t think anybody hates Lisa (except Adrienne), but I don’t think they like her either. I think she’s a fun time, but I think they don’t appreciate her humor and comments (I do!), but because nobody ever told her how they felt it continued. Then she became so popular because of her quick wit, and we the public enjoyed it and wanted to see more of, so there was probably alot more of it, and Lisa’s comments mixed with her super popularity rubbed the other ladies the wrong way.
I just think Kyle would have done better sitting Lisa down and saying, “Look Lisa, I don’t want you to be mad at me, but I really need to tell you how I feel about something…..” and took it from there. She seemed to prepare her statements so she would have ammunition, but it “back-fired”.
I love Lisa, but I think if she stays on the show she will have to be walking on eggshells and as I’ve stated before, if I can’t have Lisa at 100% I don’t want her at all.
yeah, Kyles denial about it sounded just like her denial that she said those infamous off-camera things to Camille. There is a ring of untruth to it.
Also, Kyle is pretty famous for readjusting herself when public sentiment turns against her. That infamous video of Taylor high as a kite and swaying on the street with Faye Resnick and Kyle after a party was taken after the fight between Kim and Kyle but before airing and the public backlash, and Kyle is absolutely remorseless when asked about it, and seems jovial and without contrition, a stark contrast to how she acts when the viewers flipped out about her eviscerating her sister and almost attacking her.
So now she probably realizes she’s been played by Taylor, and once again public sentiment comes down on the side of someone she’s targeted, and once again she’s back peddling. Kyle is learning the same lesson SO MANY of these reality wanna be divas learn (or at least have the opportunity to learn), that that high school mean girl b.s. doesn’t play well at all outside the cafeteria. Once you’ve graduated, there is just no place for it in the real world (practiced openly like this). Scarily, even Taylor knows this, and launches her attacks from behind the scenes. Then she sits there mutely while other people do her bidding for her. I think she stole Camille’s copy of “The Art of War”. Camille, on the other hand, seems to have problems *every time* there is an issue with the truth. That’s where she gets in the thick of things, it seems to drive her nuts, and she can’t let it go, it’s pretty interesting.
Night night people. Emily wants her “mommy”.
Did Kansas girl have surgery this last Monday or is it this coming Monday? I can’t remember. (surprising, huh)
She had it this Monday. I think she posted Monday evening.
She did. I hope she’s still doing well.
Here I am! Yes, I’m alive! Surgery was Monday and I’m doing well. Thank goodness for pain meds, but it’s astounding how fast recovery is. I’ve had plenty of company too — they all end up in the kitchen washing dishes and taking care of me. Very touching. I’ve been checking in here when I had time.
Still on goal of being good enough to go to an antique motorcycle show this weekend with the new guy. Now he’s decided to bring along his adult son – first meeting. I’ve GOT to be feeling good by then.
Thanks for worrying about me.
Kansas. Glad you are doing great, but please don’t overdo it this weekend.
Kansas_ Those are excellent news! Please take care, let your loved ones spoil you for longer until you are completely recovered!
Did anyone post this already? It’s a video of an interview with both Lisa Vanderpump and Brandi. They are so cute together! Kind of nice after the Reunion.

Morning All!
Haven’t finished reading all the posts yet but noticed a lot of new posters today.
Welcome to the family!!
Good morning.
Good morning! Thought I was the only one online this early for a minute there, lol
Good Morning BB!
Good morning! Thanks to all who posted back to me last night. Can’t wait to see who Lynn nabs the interview with today .. Wow on Empress’s new blog– I wll try to check back later. the girls are up and rolling—:)

New Blog!
Adrienne started going after Russell only after Taylor and Lisa resolved their conflict. She was relentless in stirring up the issue that Kyle must turn him away from the party in front of the cameras and even made sure she was there to assassinate his character, just like she did to Lisa at the reunion. How humiliating. I question how threatening the email from Russell really was or if Adrienne jumped on the chance to try to get rid of Taylor, because she was now a friend of Lisa’s.
I agree with the post upthread, Adrienne thinks there is only room for one princess and she feels entitled to be the princess.
I liked her alot the first season, but now hearing all the Bernie stuff that has been going on, I see her differently.
Oh…now I guess Kyle will be a favorite because she called Lynn. Kyle has been on every talk show, radio show, giving interviews to anyone who will listen. Kyle’s a bully, and the definition of a mean girl. Why wasn’t any HARD questions asked? (felt like Andy’s reunions)
I suppose Camille will be the new target on this blog now. First Jill, then Teresa, and now Camille.
For Pussy Galore – we were having a discussion upthread and it ran to the right side of the page. It is somewhat tangential, feel free to ignore.
To summarize, I stated that Adrienne is a shrewd business woman. PG disagreed but said if I wanted to cite evidence, she would listen.
Here is great information: http://www.therichest.org/celebnetworth/category/business/women/
Some people said that Adrienne is not involved in the Maloof family business. However she has been in charge of Marketing and Promotions for the Maloof enterprises for some time. This alone does not qualify her as astute, I agree, but she could easily have taken her share of her father’s inheritance out of the company when George Maloof died in 1984 and lived a life of luxury. She chose to work.
Others have said as a reason for Adrienne not being a shred business person the fact that the Maloof’s “have been leaking money” and that they diluted their ownership of Palms down to 2%. There are two primary reasons for the decline in Maloof net worth over the past couple years. First, as referenced in the above linked article, they owned substantial stock in Wells Fargo. When the banking crises hit in 2009, they lost about $125 million according to the linked article. Secondly, in selling off shares of Palms, they unloaded close to $800 million of debt. I do wish to point out that Adrienne does Marketing and Promotions – her brothers are in charge of mergers, acquisitions, capital and development.
I think her Charles Jourdin shoe line is fairly successful but I don’t have any figures to cite. I am sure I will get all kinds of comments about how she didn’t design the shoes, but come on folks, we see that Lisa doesn’t create her menu or even stay late to manage at SUR. There comes a point in our lives where we have earned the right to delegate.
What I found most interesting is that the media kerfluffle about Adrienne’s supposed financial crisis last summer started with a story leaked to RADAR ONLINE by someone close to Adrienne, and was the source of many rumors the Maloofs had to dispel about their finances. Now I am thinking Adrienne was told that Lisa was the one who caused her and her family that trouble by leaking the info. And I don’t blame her one bit for asking Lisa about it at the Reunion.
This is the link I meant to reference with the really great info on the Maloof finances, breaking it down with a timeline. No question they like many others have suffered during the recession, but nothing to indicate financial mismanagement of any sort by Adrienne or her brothers.
http://starcasm.net/archives/119798
This also has a link to the original RADAR ONLINE story of Adrienne Maloof’s financial troubles that went viral last summer. As most of us know, when it comes to investment in businesses, perception is everything. These rumors would really have hurt Maloof opportunities for capital investment and are far more serious than anything I saw hurled by anyone at the reunion. Friends do not do something like that to friends.
No, friends don’t do that to friends, it would be reprehensible. But it sounds like you’re ASSuming the source was Lisa. That’s a big assumption there, especially considering that it is not her style. Got any proof? Can you even point out anything in Lisa’s past behaviour that would make anyone think that she would do such a thing?
Given what we see of Lisa on TV we can see that yes – she has a biting sense of humour at times, but her motivation is not malicious. Consider how Lisa handled Taylor when Taylor attacked when she was a guest in Lisa’s home, which was beyond rude. Had Taylor pulled something like that on me when she was in my home I’d have asked her to leave immediately, but instead Lisa opened her mind and heart to Taylor’s needs (or what Taylor fake-cried as being her needs).
In my opinion, of all the women of RHOBH, Lisa is at heart the most gracious, most open minded, most empathetic, and most forgiving. (Brandi comes in a close second.) I don’t believe for a second that Lisa would ever spread malicious gossip to a rag.
No, if it came across that way, then I said it wrong. I do not ASSume it was Lisa – but it sounds like someone somewhat credible gave Adrienne and perhaps Camille information that made them think she did. I am just putting two and two together. So given the information available at the time, it makes sense.
I have a different opinin of Lisa than most viewers. What I don’t understand is why all five of the other longtime housewives have the same issues with her. Brandi is too new to really know what is what in that group. I refuse to believe it is simply a case of Adrienne, Kyle, Taylor and Camille being “jealous” of Lisa, and that word gets tossed around too casually. As others have suggested, there is more to Lisa than what we see. Of course, there is more to ALL of them than what we see.
Some have suggested I am overly defensive of Kyle and Adrienne, but they are the ones getting all the hate right now. If Lisa were getting the kind of hate they are getting, I would probably be sticking up for her.
PS in their denials, did Radar say that Lisa never GAVE them a story, or did they say that Lisa was never PAID for a story? Perhaps Adrienne’s mistake was stating Lisa was paid.
Let’s pretend your theory is true. What did Lisa gained from leaking the story? Lisa is to smart to risk being outed as the source of this leak.
You seem to ignore the obvious. Lisa V. and her husband have been in the restaurant business for many years. Very successful. Discretion is vital for that success. Film does not lie. We saw what we saw during the season and at the reunion. Viewers are rightfully upset at the treatment of Lisa. They need to stop making excuses or pointing the fingers and look at themselves in the mirror for blame.
On the reunion part 1 Lisa very clearly acknowledged to having talked to ROL, but she had never sold a story to them. That is what Adrienne accused her of doing, and there is a huge difference.
And that was Adrienne’s mistake then, accusing her of taking payment. What is the difference between taking payment for a story that hurts a “friend” and not taking payment for a story that hurts a “friend”? if the result is equally hurtful?
What everyone is seeming to forget, is the 1st time Brandi was on the show….remember, at Kyle’s fundraiser???? Remember how awful Kyle, Taylor and Faye were? They were making fun of Brandi because her “claim to fame” was her horrible ex husband, and his horrible new wife? Sorry Kyle….you lose…
Now Kyle is slamming you, Lynn, on Twitter…..
What is she saying?! I’m not on twitter so I’m always clueless about these things
I didn’t see an attack on Twitter. Somebody ask her why she gave the interview to Lynn ( not in those words ) and Kyle replied:
“no clue that was her. Found out later. Never saw her blogs before. Just responding to what Brandi said to her.”
Kyle might be lying about not knowing who Lynn is. Every housewife and their uncle knows who Lynn is.
Again, I just didn’t see a slam. Just more of the same. Lies Lies Lies…
Double backlash then… What a Moron Kyle is!!! and to think I was defending her just a few weeks ago!!!
Kyle’s Bobby Fisher chess comment sounded scripted but not rehearsed very well. Also, Kyle’s playing to the camera during the show is getting worse. She’s a bad actress and I think has pretty poor character from what I’ve seen. All these women seem to have some serious character flaws but Kyle is a standout in that regard. Not buying anything she says.
I watched the first episode of the reunion WITHOUT any prior knowledge of what Brandi said had taken place: a meeting with the other hw’s to harpoon Lisa. Therefore, Mz. Kyle Richards, my opinion is not clouded. You and Adrienne BOTH attacked Lisa relentlessly. It was obvious that you did not care in the least that Lisa was surprised and hurt. You only made yourselves look bad.
I found it also telling when Adrienne was accussing Lisa of selling the stories to the tabloids and calling her a liar Adrienne kept saying I heard it from a friend and when Lisa was saying who who who did you hear this from the camera shot to Kyle and she looked nervous ass hell like she was thinking please Adrienne don’t say my name was i the only one who noticed that?
