Cocktails and Gossip

B went to the Vulture Reality TV Masterminds Awards event and has a lot to share with us, including what Kyle's reaction was to her, who she vibed with, and who she met. The next day the Jenn Fessler/West Wilson scandal exploded. We have thoughts both on whether it happened, and how Jenn and West handled it. And on this week's episode of Summer House: What did West whisper to Amanda, and why did production choose for us not to hear it? Real Housewives of Rhode Island: The offscreen drama continues to be as good as the on-screen. We told you a few weeks ago that Rulla's husband the cheating podiatrist is suing his ex-mistress for breaking the confidentiality clause from a previous lawsuit. Well, now, the mistress is suing Brian back. We also got some BIG tea (a Cocktails and Gossip exclusive) about the mistress that truly made Amanda's jaw drop. And on the Valley, we've got nothing but love for Nia, but maybe a little concern, too, as her husband Danny is acting like a man-baby. Plus another podcast exclusive: Which The Valley star just got more cosmetic surgery???

We start with some Met Gala tea to cap off Met Gala week. We were a little nervous for Ciara, but she seemingly avoided a wardrobe malfunction. Now that we know what we know about West and Amanda, was this latest episode of Summer House the worst yet? What is "duper's delight" and why is everyone talking about it this week? What was Amanda's motivation in going so hard for Ciara in her conversation with Mia? We have slightly differing opinions. Why we think Kyle truly was surprised when Ciara brought up a trial separation. Bailey and Carl: will they or won't they? We think they won't and explain why. Will we see Ben and Sabrina next season? We think not...

We have been bamboozled, hoodwinked, swindled by Steven McBee. Will we even watch the show now that we know different? B got intel that the person who helped Bravo crack the case on who recorded the leaked Summer House audio was no other than Jennifer Lawrence, Academy Award winner and Bravo fan. West Wilson is enduring a family tragedy. We recap the other audio leaks and it just raises more questions. B reads a post that has been circulating called Amanda Batula and the Carrie Bradshaw Accountability Crisis. It gives us a lot to think about. Michelle from the Valley is dating Dr. Dre. What??? We have more info on how they met... and do we think he'd ever be on The Valley?

Our thoughts on the Real Housewives of Atlanta newbies. And Drew Sidora's ex makes how much more money than her? We have questions about this. Real Housewives of Rhode Island is a chaotic mess and we are loving every minute. The cheating podiatrist's mistress is giving us Fatal Attraction vibes and now the cheating podiatrist is suing her. Listen to find out why he's suing. And we have a little tea on how Rulla and her cheating podiatrist husband started their romance. Once again, how you get 'em is how you lose 'em. And, one of the people featured on the show has seven felony charges against him in a case that's ongoing. Thank you, Bravo for sharing this with us. We love mess. And we have some more intel on West and Amanda and the ongoing Summer House debacle.
