Five , four , three

0:03

, two , one . It's

0:08

time to countdown reality TV's most

0:10

talked about moments with Amanda Bella

0:12

. Hey

0:15

everybody , it's Amanda Bella , and welcome back

0:17

to Bella Talks TV . It

0:19

is a really insane week in

0:21

reality TV . We have a lot to discuss

0:23

and I wanted to start this week's episode

0:26

with a little bit of a disclaimer , because there's

0:28

a lot of hot button , trigger

0:31

warning aspects of this

0:33

week's episode just based on what's

0:35

actually going on in these shows . So trigger

0:38

warning where you might talk about addiction , we

0:40

might be talking about some racist

0:43

comments that have been made online . We

0:45

might be talking about things that

0:48

might come off anti-feminist to

0:50

some . So I just want to warn

0:52

everybody . It's not that serious

0:54

. This is Bravo

0:56

and beyond , and we

0:58

just need to all take a Xanax

1:01

, calm down and

1:03

let's try to discuss these things without

1:06

everybody attacking each other and

1:08

coming at each other personally , because

1:10

I am not a racist , I

1:13

am not a bigot , I support

1:15

all LGBTQ , I support

1:17

all races . I know that I'm a white

1:20

girl , but just because I'm white

1:22

doesn't mean I'm a Karen . So I

1:24

think that there's also some other aspects

1:27

of that that go on in these shows and

1:29

in real life , and I just

1:31

want to start with saying that , because there's

1:34

going to be all types of things discussed in this week's

1:37

episode . It's been kind of a dark and

1:39

crazy week on TV , so let's

1:41

get into it , but I just really wanted to start with that

1:43

first . So please don't try me

1:45

, don't try to come at me . I'm

1:49

really just trying to discuss these things in a delicate

1:51

way because they are relevant and they are what's

1:53

really going on in our TVs . So

1:56

thank you all again for joining

1:58

me . If you're watching me on YouTube or

2:00

watching the video version of this , I have

2:02

finally learned . Now , guys

2:04

, remember this is a self-produced show , so

2:07

I don't always have the best equipment

2:09

, I don't always do the best editing

2:11

, I don't have maybe the best

2:13

visually appealing show , as

2:16

opposed to some other podcasters , but I'm

2:18

here in my living room just

2:20

doing my own thing here , so I've actually

2:22

been able to use my iPad

2:24

to get the camera connected to

2:27

the program that I use on my Mac to

2:29

make this show possible . So

2:31

if you're watching , I think the video should look

2:33

a lot clearer and more

2:35

easy to watch this week . So definitely

2:37

check me out on YouTube if you haven't yet

2:39

. If you're here on Apple Podcasts , spotify

2:42

, whatup , please leave me a review

2:44

and rate me five stars . I'm

2:47

going to be working really hard on this podcast

2:49

for the time to come . So

2:52

this is just the beginning again , and

2:54

I appreciate each and every one of the listens

2:56

, downloads , reviews that I get . They

2:59

all mean every single bit . They

3:01

mean so much to me , like anytime I get even

3:03

one extra person to come join

3:06

this party that I like to call BellatoxTV

3:09

. It just really means a lot . So

3:11

thank you all for being here again and

3:13

let's get into it . So

3:15

I want to start this week , of

3:17

course , with one of my favorite segments that I've been

3:20

doing , which is the shit

3:22

that no one is talking about . So no

3:25

one is talking about this new season of Jersey Shore

3:27

. I did a little catch up yesterday and

3:29

I have some thoughts , so it's been

3:31

a really good season . So far , I

3:33

think there's only been four episodes that have been

3:35

released , and Jersey Shore

3:38

, to me , is the epitome of reality TV

3:40

. Like we have to put some respect on the Jersey

3:42

Shore name , because they really

3:44

changed the game when it came to

3:46

the idea of reality TV

3:48

, because again , like 20

3:50

years ago , it was really just

3:52

the real world

3:55

, and I think you know , survivor

3:57

, some of these like really beginning OG shows

3:59

and Jersey Shore came along and really

4:01

gave us a whole new wave

4:03

of reality TV and

4:06

I'm obsessed with these people . I've

4:08

always been really into

4:10

just the idea . It's actually kind of crazy that

4:13

I end up living on the East Coast because , as you guys know

4:15

, like I'm a Michigan , chicago , girly . Like it's

4:17

crazy how connected I felt to the Jersey Shore

4:20

. I've now been down to

4:22

the Jersey Shore and I didn't even know these

4:24

places existed really until I saw

4:26

them on TV and learned about them . So

4:29

the fact that I've been able to really

4:31

kind of engulf myself in some of the culture

4:33

and go and experience it for myself . You

4:35

can actually rent the Jersey Shore house

4:38

on , I think , verbo or Airbnb

4:40

and you can stay there and I almost did that

4:42

for my Bachelorette party . That's how much I

4:45

am a Jersey Shore fan . So I'm

4:47

really enjoying this new season so far

4:49

. It kicks off with us

4:52

getting into Angelina and

4:54

her recent

4:56

decision to go out and

4:59

find her birth father . So , as

5:01

we all know , angelina has been a really polarizing

5:04

character on Jersey Shore . She

5:06

has been not

5:08

the most liked . She's very

5:10

vocal and really has no filter

5:12

and just says whatever comes to her mind , and

5:15

I think a lot of people have , you

5:18

know , pegged her as somebody who really has , like daddy issues

5:20

. So I think

5:22

you know she's been engaged four times

5:25

and she's had one failed

5:27

marriage and it's

5:29

easy to try to pinpoint , like why she

5:31

is the way that she is . But it

5:34

is a plethora of issues , I'm sure , and it's not just one

5:36

thing . So I don't dislike Angelina in

5:38

any way . I'm

5:41

actually like a weird , a weirdly almost like

5:43

an Angelina stan , like she

5:45

, even though she's not perfect which , again

5:47

, none of these reality TV characters are

5:49

supposed to be perfect . They're supposed

5:51

to be real , authentic . If

5:54

they're problematic at times , it's really

5:56

about them being able to take accountability for that . It's

5:59

not like nobody's ever going to make a mistake and say

6:01

something bad . It's about them

6:03

being able to own up to it and hopefully be

6:05

able to see what they're doing wrong . That offended

6:08

people . Now , again

6:10

, I'm not sure she's even quite that you

6:12

know where she's actually been able to do that yet . But

6:15

I think the producers stepping in this

6:17

season and getting Angelina

6:20

to explore this family genealogy

6:22

a little bit more and find her birth father

6:24

I mean first of all the producers of Jersey

6:27

Shore like I don't know that they they

6:29

never won an Emmy . I'm sure I don't know , I'd

6:31

have to really look into this . They've never been

6:33

nominated , I don't think , maybe

6:35

like just people , choice awards and stuff . But

6:37

the producers

6:40

over there deserve a purple heart . Like they

6:42

have kept this show going

6:44

for 15 years now . So

6:47

they haven't even been

6:49

in the Jersey Shore house , I think , for like eight

6:51

or something . So the fact that they've been able to extend

6:54

this and keep the show going by basing

6:56

the show and now what's going on in

6:58

their real lives , it's it's really smart , it's

7:01

a really good play from MTV and

7:03

the producers were really smart to include

7:05

some of these deeper storylines because it's like we've

7:07

seen the antics , like

7:09

we've gotten over some of these

7:12

things and they're all married and have kids and have moved

7:14

on with their lives and stuff . So

7:16

it's not like they

7:18

are just partying at the shore anymore . So they had

7:20

to find new storylines to keep the

7:22

show going to make sure that we continue to be invested

7:25

in these people's lives . Now

7:27

in this new season again , spoiler

7:29

alert , but you guys got to go watch In

7:32

the first episode , angelina goes on the mission to

7:34

find her birth dad . And they do , they find him . And

7:37

I thought this was going to be something that was stretched

7:39

out like all season . No

7:41

, in one episode they locate

7:44

her birth dad , they find him , they get him on camera , they

7:46

have them meet . This all happened within 10 minutes

7:48

. I was like whoa , we're already meeting

7:50

him . And even Angelina is like wait , wait , wait . What he's

7:52

like coming here now . She

7:54

was not expecting it to escalate so quickly , but

7:57

it's an amazing scene , the

8:00

fact that he comes in

8:02

and right away he's like I didn't know that

8:04

you existed . Like I am so disappointed that

8:06

we've missed out on all this time that

8:09

we've had to be able to create

8:11

memories together . But

8:13

let's start now and

8:15

let's , you know , put a lot of effort into cultivating a relationship

8:18

. It's basically the dream scenario and

8:20

you try to find your birth parents . Like

8:22

he's so open to it , he accepts her with open

8:24

arms , he's excited . He's

8:26

like happy to have a new birth dad , happy to have another daughter

8:28

. It really is a heartwarming

8:31

I mean I was sobbing really heartwarming scene

8:33

, but

8:35

of course , there's always got to be a twist

8:37

. So in the

8:39

second episode , angelina starts to

8:41

reveal that he has been

8:44

basically asking her for money

8:46

for all kinds of things , from surgeries

8:48

that he needs to his rent being paid

8:50

to you know

8:52

just other items . He said that

8:54

he court dates coming up that he needed

8:56

help with . He basically brings

8:59

her in and just has her start paying

9:01

for things and it is the most heartbreaking

9:03

thing ever . It's really sad

9:06

to see her be so excited to find her dad

9:08

and have him basically immediately

9:10

start trying to use her , and it just shows

9:13

you the downfalls

9:15

of being on reality TV . It's

9:18

a very sobering moment because

9:20

you're so elated one

9:22

minute and to see it turn so quickly . It just

9:24

shows you that it's really

9:26

important for you to

9:28

be careful of who you're having in your

9:30

life and the different effects that

9:32

the people in your life are going to have on you when you're filming

9:35

shows like this , because it's a

9:37

really , it's a really sad story . I

9:39

hated seeing that . Now

9:43

I really want to also get into

9:45

a second

9:47

thing . That I loved about the Jersey

9:50

Shore new season is that they

9:52

got their own Holiday . Now

9:55

it's really funny because at first they think it's a national

9:57

holiday , like banks are going to be closed

9:59

and they're all like wait , does Congress know ? Like

10:01

just Joe Biden know ? Like no , no

10:03

, no , no , it's just a New Jersey

10:06

holiday . So in the state of New

10:08

Jersey , I believe , they decide

10:11

that I think September 22nd is

10:13

the day that they declared Thursday and

10:16

it's so cool like seeing

10:18

them with all of their fans and the people that came

10:20

out in Jersey to support them . They had

10:22

basically like a huge press conference , like almost

10:25

slash parade , and everybody

10:27

was there cheering them on and I just

10:29

loved seeing this moment . There was that one time

10:31

. They talk a lot about how Chris Christie was the governor

10:33

when Jersey Shore first started and

10:36

basically not only the state of New Jersey

10:38

but all Italian Americans

10:40

were like mad at Jersey Shore . They did not

10:42

want them on their screen , they thought it was trash

10:45

and a bad representation . And then

10:47

to see how far they've came and how they've

10:49

won over the popularity

10:51

of the nation , it's just really cool

10:53

. So the whole scene , the whole

10:55

beginning of the new season , is really good

10:58

. Sam has been back

11:00

and they're going to have Ronnie joining soon

11:02

, so it's going to be the full cast for the rest

11:04

of the season and I'll definitely be tuning

11:06

in . I was skeptical . A lot of these shows

11:09

have kind of gotten gimmicky over the years

11:11

with the trips and the games and the you

11:14

know Dean's t-shirts . It's like okay

11:16

, enough , enough , but this new

11:18

season is promising . So no one's

11:20

talking about it , I'm talking about it . So you guys go check

11:22

it out and continue to watch with me . So

11:26

let's get into my LOL and OMG

11:28

of the week . So I skipped these last week because

11:31

it's been dark . It's been

11:33

a little dark out there , hasn't been so

11:36

LOL-y . But I

11:38

decided to take a little bit of break from Bravo

11:40

this week , understandably

11:42

, and I decided to pop

11:44

over to Netflix , pop over to Lifetime mix

11:47

of my reality TV this weekend and I

11:49

watched the new season

11:51

of Love on the Spectrum . So if

11:54

you guys haven't watched that yet , it is a show about

11:56

adults that are on the autism spectrum

11:58

and it's just a really

12:00

close to home show

12:02

for me . I have a family member . I

12:04

don't want to out anybody , but I do have a family

12:06

member that's on the spectrum and

12:09

his journey is beautiful and

12:11

he's one of the most amazing people that I know

12:13

. So it's just one

12:15

of those shows that you

12:17

have a personal connection to because of what's going

12:19

on in your own life , which is the point of reality

12:22

TV it's to be able to connect with people

12:24

, relate with people , see people that are like you on

12:26

TV , because you guys remember before , like

12:28

before reality TV , when things are

12:30

scripted , everything's just these glamorous

12:33

TV stars . Nobody really looks

12:35

like you . These people all

12:37

come from different lives that aren't

12:40

as real as our lives . So

12:42

reality TV really broke

12:44

that barrier between us and

12:46

TV stars . It became it

12:48

. It made everything you know . It completed

12:51

it too , which is great . It made it all kind of the same thing . So

12:53

I really appreciate being able to see

12:55

people like me , people that I know

12:58

that I like on TV , and

13:00

Love on the Spectrum is an amazing show

13:02

. So , again , these are spoiler alerts

13:04

. I do recommend that if you don't want

13:06

to give any spoilers too

13:08

, fast forward , but I want to talk about

13:11

the last episode of the season . So

13:13

it's amazing . There's a lot of great

13:15

people on the show . Three of them

13:17

I'm going to talk about specifically . One

13:20

of them is Connor . So

13:22

Connor is

13:24

a really amazing case . He

13:28

had never been on a date

13:30

before in his life . He they take him to

13:32

speed dating and that's a popular thing

13:34

for people on the spectrum because it's easy to

13:36

date other people that are on the spectrum

13:38

that are going to understand you know

13:40

your tics , your traits , things that make you different

13:42

, and not judge you , and I really

13:45

support the way , this way of dating that they show

13:47

on the show . So Connor goes

13:49

to a speed dating

13:51

event and he meets Emily

13:53

. At first he checks no

13:55

, and it's so funny and awkward , like

13:57

when you're sitting at speed dating . They give you a

13:59

little card with everybody's name and you're supposed to like kind

14:01

of circle yes or no , and he

14:04

circles no on her , like right in front of

14:06

her , and it's just like oh , it's like

14:08

no , connor , you're supposed to do that after

14:10

she gets up and walks away and that's supposed to be

14:12

like putting an X through their name

14:14

as she's sitting right in front of you . But it's

14:16

a really like likable moment

14:18

and obviously he's not doing

14:21

that maliciously . So he

14:23

ends up regretting it later and he ends up

14:25

being like damn , I shouldn't have like X'd

14:27

no on Emily , like she was kind of cute

14:29

Actually he was like she was kind of fine , like

14:33

he specifically was like I'm physically attracted

14:35

to her and I kind of want to go out with her again . So

14:38

he calls the speed date . He's like

14:40

she's like great news . You know , emily also

14:42

was interested in going on a date with you . All hook it up

14:44

. So they go on a date . They

14:46

hit it off , and one

14:48

of the things that they hit it off about is

14:51

their dogs . So Connor's

14:53

like , oh , I have a shih tzu named

14:55

chewy after Chewbacca . And

14:58

Emily's like , oh , I also have a shih tzu

15:00

named Ben after Ben Kenobi

15:02

from Obi-Wan Kenobi , you know

15:04

, so it . That's a really weird coincidence

15:07

. They both have little Star Wars shih tzu's . I'm

15:09

here with my little shih tzu , as always

15:11

, she's always right next to me . Look

15:14

at this little sleeping angel , love

15:16

her . But I just loved that

15:18

scene . I loved them connecting over their shih

15:20

tzu's . And then they were like this will be perfect , let's do a

15:22

dog date . And that's where we get

15:24

to my LOL of the week , because this

15:26

dog day is one of the funniest moments

15:29

, just genuinely authentically

15:31

funny . Like I was laughing out loud at

15:33

the way they're reacting to the dogs

15:35

being together and the just the high jinx

15:37

that ensue . So I won't spoil the whole scene

15:40

, but that's one of my favorite

15:42

moments , definitely my

15:44

LOL of the week , and I will post

15:46

a clip of it over on my Instagram , so make sure you

15:48

head over there to see the exact moment

15:50

I'm talking about . Another

15:53

really funny moment of that episode that had me

15:55

laughing was , at the

15:57

end , danny , one of the characters . She's

15:59

really into comics , comic

16:01

con animation and she lives in LA

16:04

. She's been going on a couple of dates with

16:06

this guy named Adon and

16:08

Adon has never kissed anybody

16:11

. He's a virgin and Danny is really

16:13

like into , you know , she's really

16:15

physically attracted to him too . Like that's the thing about

16:17

people on the spectrum Like they're just like us

16:19

. They want to have the same human nature

16:21

relationships as we do , including sex

16:23

, and there's nothing wrong with that . It is something

16:26

we all do . So the

16:28

fact that Danny is like okay , like I'm really

16:30

into this guy , I kind of got to get him

16:32

like on my level . So

16:34

she decides to bring him a cupcake

16:36

and they both have their cupcakes and she teaches

16:38

him a kissing lesson on the

16:41

cupcake . It's

16:43

so funny , like it's just one of those moments

16:45

where it's like it's not supposed to be funny , but just

16:48

the way that they're going through

16:50

the motions of kissing these cupcakes , like I was

16:52

laughing hysterically . It's so cute

16:54

and funny and just like a really feel good moment

16:56

. So you have to go see that . And

16:59

the final moment that I have to talk about

17:01

from this episode is I'm

17:04

going to cry just thinking about it . So

17:06

there's another couple , abby and

17:08

David , and Abby loves

17:11

the Lion King , it's her favorite movie . She's

17:13

really into lions and they've been dating

17:15

for two years . So in this season

17:17

David is like I'm going to basically

17:20

take you , david's also on the spectrum

17:22

. So they have adults with them that are taking them on these trips

17:24

and caring for them . But they take them

17:26

to Kenya to go on a real safari

17:28

to find real lions and it's

17:31

just amazing . At the very

17:33

end David sets up like a really

17:35

cute little date for them , like looking

17:37

out onto the

17:39

brand of the whole , like

17:41

Kenya Flatlands . And

17:44

you know , he brings Abby a glass

17:46

of wine , which I also love too . That people on the spectrum

17:48

drink like again , it's like they're normal , like they

17:50

want to have cocktails , they want to have sex , like they're

17:52

out there living and doing things

17:54

just like us . So he brings Abby a

17:56

glass of wine , but his drink of choice is milk

17:58

. So he's just drinking this like huge glass

18:01

of , like whole milk out on

18:03

this date , looking over the

18:05

Kenya . It's just

18:07

so funny . And then

18:09

they start

18:11

singing and I didn't know like now

18:13

that I started following Abby , I'm going to

18:15

link her in the episode description because

18:18

you guys have to follow her if you're looking for just feel good content

18:21

. She likes to sing a lot of the Disney songs

18:23

and they just start singing

18:25

. Can you feel the love tonight

18:28

? And they're seeing it together

18:30

on their day looking out onto

18:32

Africa . It's the most heartwarming

18:34

scene . I was sobbing like

18:36

vocally , like I was like

18:38

like doing like the real cries

18:40

. So if you're just looking for that

18:43

kind of reality TV , this weekend

18:45

, go check out Love

18:47

on the Spectrum . I hope I didn't spoil it too much for

18:49

you guys . It's such a good show . Now , switching

18:52

gears over to my OMG of the week

18:54

, got to talk about something that is not

18:56

as feel good and that's a little

18:58

bit you know , harder , harder

19:00

to talk about . Let's get into

19:02

talking about my OMG of the week , which

19:05

is the Wendy Williams documentary

19:07

. So this was definitely not as heartfelt

19:09

. This was really hard to watch . I binged

19:11

all four episodes the other night and

19:14

this is a really

19:16

big again lesson to who you

19:18

keep in your circle around you when you become famous . Because

19:22

people in her life are taking

19:24

such bad advantage of her and

19:26

clearly Wendy is dealing with

19:29

some addiction and alcoholism

19:31

and , you know , substance abuse problems . She

19:33

has now been officially

19:35

diagnosed with early onset aphasia

19:38

, which is the same thing that Bruce Willis has , and

19:41

it's just a very aggressive form of dementia

19:44

and it's really scary when people have it

19:46

, because they can be

19:48

you know , they have no filter and

19:51

they can be really harsh with their words . So the way

19:54

that she's speaking to the people around her

19:57

is really brutal and

19:59

she clearly should not be on TV and they really should not

20:01

be putting this out there . Like if I always try

20:04

to think of things like

20:08

if this was my mother or like a family member

20:10

of mine , I would be so mad . Like they're doing her

20:13

dirty . They're really doing her dirty . Like no

20:15

one needs to see this for our entertainment , like we have no reason to be watching

20:17

this . She should just be in the facility getting healthy

20:20

and getting better . But you know what it was made

20:22

and it's out there , so we have to talk about it

20:24

now . But I

20:26

don't think this ever should have been made . They

20:28

basically started this documentary because

20:31

this production crew had heard that

20:33

Wendy was going to be making a comeback and she had been off

20:36

the air for a while since 2020

20:38

, when a lot of these health problems started . As you guys know , there's

20:41

that famous video of her fainting while

20:43

she was doing her show and then she went on on her

20:46

show to talk about a lot of her

20:48

problems having to live in a sober house

20:50

, etc . So she was really

20:53

open about her struggles and

20:55

at that time I think it was great that they took her off the air

20:58

. They decided to basically

21:00

be like we can't put her back on the air until she has a clean bill

21:03

of health and that's when a lot of these tests these tests

21:05

were finally done to find out what was going

21:07

on with her . But she

21:10

is really in bad shape

21:12

. So , beyond her

21:14

having the aphasia and the

21:17

dementia that's setting in , she also has

21:19

grave disease which causes her eyes to really have that

21:22

like bulging effect , and

21:24

then she also has lymphedema , so her

21:26

legs are really swollen and kind

21:28

of like crusted over . It's

21:32

a . I believe that's a . It's a problem with

21:34

your lymphatic system not draining

21:36

, so which can also be caused

21:39

by alcoholism . And

21:41

you know , people don't realize , probably , that alcohol

21:44

affects a lot of your organs , your brain

21:47

specifically , like I was scarred for life when I was

21:49

in high school they did one of those

21:51

alcohol awareness seminars

21:54

and I remember they showed us

21:56

videos of like what your brain looks

21:58

like on alcohol and it's all

22:00

like Swiss cheese out and that

22:02

freaked me out to

22:04

the high heavens . So I've always had that

22:06

vision of like . Oh my God , I want my brain

22:08

to be like rotting . So I mean , I love

22:10

a cocktail , but I am

22:12

a social drinker , like I mean , not

22:14

that I would even count how many days it's been since I had a drink , but

22:16

I don't remember . It's been a

22:19

while since I don't like a month or something . So

22:21

I really don't drink like that . But I

22:24

understand people that do have these problems . I

22:27

would never out anybody , but I do

22:29

have a family member that's been in the AA

22:31

program for a few decades

22:33

and I've just seen

22:35

it work and I've seen real

22:38

alcoholics

22:40

in my life . So it's really

22:42

just sad to see one on TV and to see

22:44

it being televised for all

22:46

of us . Now the biggest problem with this is

22:48

that her manager and her publicist

22:50

are doing her dirty . They're basically

22:53

keeping her on TV to make money because

22:56

of course , they don't get paid unless she's making money and

22:58

all of her assets have been frozen because she's now

23:00

in a guardianship , so they don't

23:02

have access to her money . They need to be continuing

23:04

to keep things going in the Wendy Williams

23:06

sphere and you

23:08

know , if there's no Wendy Williams , there's no them . So

23:11

it's really scary . Now Wendy's

23:13

first husband , I believe , was her original

23:15

manager and when he

23:17

cheated on her and he got

23:20

another woman pregnant , that

23:22

was kind of what set off this entire

23:25

spiral of Wendy . People

23:27

don't realize like cheating is trauma

23:29

. Like when you get cheated on , especially

23:32

when you're a public figure , it's a level

23:34

of just like humiliation and

23:36

disrespect that is traumatic . And

23:39

I think that she's

23:42

just dealing with PTSD and she's trying

23:44

to self medicate through the fact

23:46

that you know she was so happy

23:48

, especially to have her son finally . Like , if

23:50

you guys didn't watch the original scripted lifetime

23:53

special on Wendy

23:55

Williams , I really recommend that too , because

23:57

it goes into a lot of her early life

23:59

and how she rose to fame and the

24:01

struggle goes that she had to start a family and just

24:04

a lot of her other problems . So I

24:06

recommend both of those on lifetime . But

24:08

she just really wanted

24:10

a son , she really wanted a family and

24:12

she really wanted to be like that exemplar

24:15

example of

24:17

lack love . You can just feel it in

24:19

her Like that's all she ever wanted . So when

24:22

he cheated , you know , he not only

24:24

she only not only lost her husband , but

24:26

she lost her manager

24:28

too . And she decided

24:31

to hire a friend

24:33

of hers as her manager . Now this guy

24:35

is a . You can just tell he's a total piece

24:37

of trash just from the documentary . All he cares

24:39

about is himself , he cares

24:41

about how he looks on camera and he's definitely just pushing

24:44

Wendy to do things so that he can continue

24:46

to collect money from her . And

24:49

she met him in a

24:51

club . She basically almost was like

24:53

this guy was almost like my dealer , like you

24:55

can't hire that guy . Wendy is your manager

24:57

. Like there's just so

25:00

many bad decisions that were made and it's

25:02

too late now , but I just wish

25:04

that she never would have hired him . And then

25:07

she has this publicist come in and

25:09

that's brutal . Her name is Sean

25:11

and she again is like the

25:14

producers of the show are like Sean

25:16

. Like you don't see anything wrong with Wendy

25:19

, you don't think there's any like health problems going on . Wendy's

25:21

like no , no , I think she's

25:23

fine , I think she's good . This is just Wendy , wendy's Wendy

25:26

. These people are doodly . Like I couldn't

25:28

handle it . I was so mad at both Sean

25:30

and the manager . So

25:33

it's just brutal . Wendy's

25:36

niece comes in . Wendy's son

25:38

is very active in trying to take care of her , but he

25:40

again has his hands tied because he

25:43

is in Florida and they try to get Wendy to

25:45

come down and live there with her and whenever

25:47

she goes down there she seems to gain weight

25:49

and get healthy and be doing better . But

25:52

she is an addict . So at the

25:54

end of the day she wants to be able to be in New York

25:56

and do addict things . So the

25:59

whole story is so heartbreaking . I

26:01

really am praying for the day that I turn

26:03

on the TV . I look at my phone

26:06

and I see Wendy like

26:08

sober . I want to see like some kind of statement

26:11

released from her saying that

26:13

she's free and that she's been healthy

26:15

and she's been able to get the right

26:18

treatment to hopefully in some way

26:20

return back to the public eye

26:22

because this is her passion . She

26:24

at the end of the documentary is like

26:26

I don't even really want the money . Like , of course , yes

26:28

, she wants the money . She really

26:30

just wants to be famous . Like she wants

26:33

to be connecting with everybody , talking

26:35

to everybody . Having her fans Like

26:38

that means everything to her . So let's try

26:40

to get Wendy healthy and back on our TV

26:42

screens . Okay , and now

26:44

I love also just that I'm on my couch hanging

26:46

out with you guys . My favorite part of just recording

26:48

the show is just being able to chill here . My

26:51

pd is my dog , so

26:53

again , thanks for being here . So

26:56

let's get into what you guys are all here for

26:58

always my top five

27:00

countdown of the week . So again , please

27:02

refer back to my disclaimer . Don't

27:04

come for me about any of this stuff . I'm just

27:07

repeating the news , giving my opinions

27:09

. I'm not racist and

27:12

I don't hate women and I'm

27:15

not an apologist for people

27:17

. So please , again , bear

27:19

with me and just remember . This is supposed to be fun . Bravo

27:22

should be fun . So

27:25

, okay , let's get right into my top five . So

27:27

the number five most talked

27:29

about moment of the week is Brittany

27:31

and Jax . What is going on with them ? So

27:34

Brittany this week has

27:36

gone online to her Instagram

27:38

, changed her name back to Brittany Cartwright

27:41

and she has been

27:43

seen out by TMZ . Her and Jax

27:45

both have been caught out on the streets talking

27:48

about their relationship . So it is conflicting

27:50

statements and there's a lot of confusion about what's going

27:52

on . So Brittany

27:55

has stated that she has moved out , that

27:58

she is taking space away from Jax

28:00

. She changed her name on Instagram

28:02

and all roads seem

28:05

to lead to the fact that Jax and Brittany are headed

28:07

for a divorce . Now

28:10

Jax , on the other hand , has

28:12

been also caught by cameras . He

28:14

was caught like disgustingly sweaty leaving

28:16

a gym the other day by TMZ and

28:18

he said the opposite Brittany and I are

28:20

living together , we're not getting divorced

28:22

and whatever . So there's

28:25

something going on here . They're either really

28:28

taking space and not communicating

28:30

in any way , and someone's

28:32

telling the truth here and someone's lying . I

28:35

would like to think that

28:38

it's Jax , because it's so

28:41

simple to be like okay , jax

28:43

is lying . Jax is a pathological liar

28:45

. I'm confused

28:47

why he would be

28:51

the one saying that they're still together if they're

28:53

not . So it's confusing to me

28:55

to think why Brittany

28:57

is claiming that they're not when he is . There's just

28:59

everything's not adding up here . There's

29:02

a lot of questions and

29:04

we obviously know that the Valley is going

29:06

to be premiering and this is a

29:08

show about their relationship amongst other

29:10

relationships in the Valley , and

29:12

I don't know . There's just something weird

29:14

going on with this situation . I

29:16

have to say right now it's feeling

29:19

like PR . Now I am open

29:21

to new information , I'm willing to let

29:23

this situation unfold , but

29:26

I did hear

29:28

my sources tell me that Brittany's

29:30

actually they have purchased

29:32

this second house that they have a while

29:35

ago . So when Brittany says , oh yeah , I moved

29:37

out and I'm living in another house , I

29:39

heard that she had this house for a while

29:42

, that they both had this other

29:44

property that they use for business

29:46

, and this was on Kristen Doty's

29:48

podcast that Brittany said this it's

29:51

now been taken out of the episode

29:53

and removed . So

29:55

, because of the fact that it's still it's not there

29:57

anymore and that they removed it , that's fishy

29:59

to me . Now , if that comment was still out

30:01

there , that would mean that it was just kind of

30:03

like a true throwaway comment that was

30:05

said during an interview . But

30:08

the fact that they obviously requested

30:10

Kristen to go back , remove

30:12

that piece of the episode

30:14

and then re-release the episode without

30:17

people being able to backtrack and say , oh no

30:19

, brittany's had this house for a while , it's

30:21

just weird . So I don't know . I

30:24

don't believe it right now . I

30:26

think it's really sad if they're I

30:29

don't know if they're trying to use

30:31

a divorce , as we's , to get

30:33

PR for the show . But like it's Bravo . How

30:37

many divorces have we discussed and

30:39

seen happen on this network ? It's the

30:41

limit does not exist . So it's not

30:43

the craziest thing ever if they would be doing this just

30:45

for PR . I'm

30:48

just going to have to see how this unfolds . But everyone

30:50

is talking about that . I'm surprised so many

30:52

people are believing it and

30:54

it's to me . I always kind of think

30:56

back to what I said last week about Kyle and Mauricio

30:59

. Like if Mauricio has been

31:01

cheating for like 10 , 15 years

31:03

, like why now is

31:05

there a divorce happening ? Like I

31:07

just don't get it . Jacks has been absolutely

31:10

awful to Brittany . Like do you guys not remember

31:12

what happened with faith ? Like if

31:15

Brittany is going to stick with him through all

31:17

of that . I don't think that , like

31:19

, all of a sudden she would leave now . So something

31:22

must have happened or nothing happened . And this

31:24

is PR , just my opinion . But

31:28

that was the number five most talked about moment of the week

31:30

. Now , getting into the number

31:32

four most talked about moment of the week Again , this

31:34

has been like such a hot button topic . I

31:38

can't believe how many

31:40

people disagree with me on this

31:42

. But again , I

31:44

guess it's just that idea that because

31:46

of who I am , the way I've been raised

31:48

. It's my own bias and

31:51

I can admit that . I can admit that I'm biased

31:53

. I think being biased is actually again

31:55

part of human nature and

31:58

you just have to be able to recognize

32:00

it and own it . So I'm just

32:02

a little bit biased in the situation , for

32:04

whatever reason . But

32:07

we're going to be talking about the real houseways of Beverly

32:09

Hills here . People so strap

32:12

up . Okay

32:14

, to me , the real houseways of Beverly

32:17

Hills is a perfect display of

32:19

house library . It's

32:22

Dalulu , it's got

32:24

levels of fame , money

32:26

, attention , the fakeness that

32:28

comes at Beverly Hills , the idea of optics

32:31

, everybody wanting to present themselves

32:33

in the best light , and

32:35

it's just got these different

32:38

like dynamics that go on in Beverly

32:40

Hills that don't go on in the other

32:42

shows , and I think it just really

32:44

makes Beverly Hills special . It's truly

32:46

the definition of housewives to me . So

32:49

, with that being said , like I don't think it's always

32:52

supposed to be perfect and shiny and

32:54

politically correct , I think that it's

32:56

not fair that everything

32:58

everybody's going to say is going to be perfect

33:01

. But I'm not a Dury

33:03

Apologist . Let me just start with saying

33:05

that Like the fact that I don't necessarily

33:08

disagree with

33:10

Dury , or like hate her for the

33:12

comments that she made with the child bride

33:14

stuff , and you know the

33:16

things towards Garcelle that

33:19

Garcelle is claiming that that make

33:21

Dury a Karen . I

33:24

see it , I definitely see

33:26

it , but I will die

33:28

on the hill that . I just don't think that she is

33:30

malicious , I don't think that she is

33:32

racist and purposely trying

33:34

to make these comments

33:37

to put these women down . Like

33:39

I just don't feel it in my heart and that's my truth

33:41

, that's what I don't care . I don't

33:43

care if people think that that's wrong

33:45

, but I have to just stand in my truth , like

33:47

I'm not going to sit here and be like , oh yeah

33:49

, like Dury , like she , like

33:52

no , I just don't feel like that . I think

33:54

that she's made some really stupid comments

33:56

based on her own bias and

34:00

she , I think , would totally

34:02

like she did sit down with Garcelle this season

34:04

and really tried to own it . But it's

34:06

, it's the fact that to me

34:09

, garcelle and Crystal are fishing

34:11

so hard to go after

34:13

her If they weren't trying

34:16

so hard and they were disabled to go

34:18

after her in a way that wasn't so

34:20

like thirsty , I would be more

34:22

receptive to the things that

34:24

they're saying . But it's just

34:26

not coming off that way , like it's

34:29

really coming off to me desperate , that it looks

34:31

like Garcelle's had a few seasons . She's

34:33

given us all she's got . She's talked about her cheating

34:36

scandal ad

34:38

nauseam . We know we

34:40

talked about it every season , every

34:42

episode . Like , okay , you

34:44

need a new storyline , garcelle , we don't really

34:46

like the stuff about your kids . Like

34:49

every single other content

34:51

creator , stuff that I listened to is like , okay , we've had enough

34:53

. Like no one's really into the kids stuff

34:55

. No one wants to hear about the cheating anymore

34:57

. And you know , you're on a

35:00

very acclaimed Hollywood actress , you're

35:02

doing great things there , these

35:04

projects that you do . It's amazing

35:06

she's been winning awards . Like I'm not discounting

35:08

, like her as a , as a person or a staple

35:10

in Beverly Hills , it's just like enough

35:13

. Like she doesn't like the women

35:15

and she doesn't have genuine relationships

35:17

with them . So it just feels like she's

35:19

constantly trying to like pick at

35:21

somebody . And first

35:23

it was her coming after Sutton

35:26

and now it's her coming after Jury . It's

35:28

like , okay , we got it , we

35:30

got it . So I don't know , I just I'm over

35:33

it . I'm over Garcelle and that doesn't make me

35:35

a racist Like you guys . We can

35:37

dislike people of color just

35:39

because we dislike them . It doesn't make you racist . So

35:41

, americamembercom , there's a lot of reasons why I don't like Garcelle

35:43

, and one of them is because she just

35:46

won't give up . Like , even when Dorit

35:48

sits there and is like , do you not

35:50

like me ? Like , do you not want

35:52

to have a friendship with me ? Garcelle still can't

35:54

just be like , no , I don't like you , like let's just

35:56

not try . She's like I don't know . It's like

35:59

all right , garcelle , fine

36:01

. It's like because she wants to drag it out

36:03

. She's trying to get another season

36:06

out of this . Instead of just nipping

36:08

it in the bud , or not even the bud

36:10

anymore because it's been so long , instead

36:12

of trying to actually have a resolution

36:14

and do the housewives arc of

36:16

we're fighting , we're

36:19

getting through it , we're tying a bow on it and we're

36:21

moving on . She just wants to continue

36:23

it over and over and talk about the

36:25

same things and we've all had enough

36:27

. So we know , we

36:29

know there's Karen's out there . I deal with them every

36:32

day . We got to talk about something else

36:34

because it's getting old . So

36:37

that just brings me over to Crystal . Now

36:39

, again , I don't

36:41

not like Crystal because she's Asian . Like

36:44

that's ridiculous . So I don't want to hear

36:47

it . I don't like Crystal because she , to me , is

36:49

insufferable . Every episode

36:51

all she does is complain . She's

36:53

always picking fights with people . I

36:56

don't think that she is naturally

36:58

funny or have really

37:00

a lot of redeeming

37:02

qualities that like I would . I would try to think like

37:04

would I want to hang out with this person in real life and

37:06

I wouldn't ? I don't , I don't like her

37:08

. I love her husband Like I

37:10

love Rob . Rob is a shit

37:13

to me . I would hang out with him any day . But Crystal

37:15

, to me , is so annoying and I just always

37:17

have these little nuggets in the back of my head . Like

37:19

the 14 friends that were

37:21

like Karen were done with you , like if , if

37:24

her whole friend group abandoned her when

37:26

she became a real housewife , like that must have been

37:28

. She just been , must have been . Like insufferably

37:30

talking about it , like I

37:32

can imagine . You know it sounds like

37:34

when she met Anna Marie , she was like I'm a housewife

37:37

. Like she said that . I

37:39

really believe that she said that . I believe

37:41

that she does feel proud to be a housewife

37:43

and I think that she really , really , really

37:46

cares about being on the show . So

37:48

again with her , if

37:50

she's not gonna talk about her business , which I believe

37:53

, the cocoa water like great

37:55

good job , we're proud of you . But because

37:57

of the bath and the claws she can't really talk about her business

37:59

because she probably doesn't want Bravo to take any

38:01

money of that . So we're

38:03

not talking about her business . There's not

38:05

really . There doesn't have to be problems in her relationship

38:08

, but they don't really show us like too much

38:10

with Rob and I assume that's because he's probably

38:12

a Mauricio type . This man's probably busy

38:15

as hell . Remember , this

38:17

is the man that directed the Lion King and the Brave Little

38:19

Toaster and many other things . So

38:21

I think that she's just really trying

38:23

to make problems with these

38:25

women . Now let's go back to again Crystal's

38:28

beginning on the show . What was her number

38:30

one story ? In line Calling

38:32

Sutton a racist , sutton making

38:34

dark comments , sutton saying things

38:36

that were biased , whatever . That

38:39

was like her number one thing . Then I think you

38:41

guys kind of forgot , because I don't see anybody

38:43

ever talking about this . She also came for Kyle

38:46

about the same thing . Go back and watch

38:48

the season 12 reunion . Crystal

38:50

and everybody is coming for Kyle for

38:52

also making these comments . Remember , kyle

38:55

accused Garcelle of

38:57

not paying the charity and

38:59

Garcelle had to sit her down and be like yo , you're being

39:01

a Karen . It's like , okay , we get it

39:03

. Like these women are Karens . When

39:05

are we gonna realize that the real houseways

39:08

of Beverly Hills is like filled with Karens

39:10

, so should be called the real Karens of Beverly

39:12

Hills ? That's like the point . You

39:14

guys , we have to have

39:16

these conversations , but we have to move

39:18

on . We can't make every season

39:20

Like these women are out of touch

39:22

. These are like some of the richest women in the nation

39:25

Like oh , it

39:27

makes me exhausted just thinking about

39:29

it . I understand it's a very important

39:31

part of society . We

39:34

have to have these conversations , but we have

39:36

to move on . I'm praying

39:38

that we do not spend season

39:40

14 of the real houses of Beverly Hills

39:42

talking more about how the women

39:44

are Karens . It's enough . It's

39:47

enough . So

39:49

, and also , I just wanna talk about

39:51

the fact that Crystal calls everybody a bitch . I

39:53

made a little video on my Instagram

39:56

too , and that's just five

39:58

examples of her saying the word bitch

40:00

. She loves calling everybody

40:02

a bitch . She'll be like using

40:05

it as a derogatory term . She'll

40:07

be using it to insult people . She uses it in her Instagram

40:10

captions . She uses it to describe

40:12

places , people . She has

40:14

a cocktail that she made with her coconut water

40:16

called Pucker Up Bitch . It's just

40:18

like her brand is bitch . So I

40:21

feel like it's just too much for me . She's

40:23

just doing too much and a lot of the stuff

40:25

that I don't like . So I don't

40:28

like Crystal , I can say that , and

40:31

I'm not here to apologize for Doree either . I

40:33

think that they're both wrong , I think everyone's wrong

40:35

, and I don't really like any of the women

40:37

in real life . I

40:40

don't think I would have anything in common with any of

40:42

them and that's kind of why we watch these shows

40:44

right , just to see different types of people

40:47

and to learn about these different dynamics

40:49

and like microcosms

40:51

of our nation . So thanks

40:54

for bearing with that . That was

40:56

just my honest truth and

40:59

I'm sorry if anybody's offended , like

41:01

if you're listening and you're like totally

41:04

disgusted by me . I don't know , I guess this isn't the

41:06

podcast for you , but I

41:09

appreciate you guys just giving me the platform to

41:11

vent that out and hopefully

41:14

, like I said , we can all start to move on , even though we

41:16

still have a whole

41:18

portion of this next

41:20

reunion . So I

41:23

don't know , we gotta get through two more episodes still . So

41:26

that was my number four most talked about moment of

41:29

the week , the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

41:31

reunion and unfortunately

41:34

it's not gonna really gonna get any lighter because we're moving

41:36

right into my number three most talked about moment

41:39

, which is Vanderpump rules

41:41

. So there's a lot going on there and

41:43

I kind of just sucked everything about

41:45

Vanderpump rules into one idea

41:47

and I

41:50

kind of just wanna talk about Brock and Sheena a little

41:52

bit here . So there's been a couple of different

41:54

things in the news about them circulating

41:56

, and one is the most recent

41:59

purchase of a home in

42:01

Sherman Oaks . Sheena just bought a house

42:03

and the

42:06

interesting thing about Sheena buying this house is in

42:08

the Valley and there's

42:10

a lot of rumors that they think this might

42:12

be the end of Vanderpump rules . Like

42:14

where do we go after this season ? The

42:17

show is gonna be hard

42:19

. So a lot of these people

42:21

like Sheena and Lala are also

42:24

buying houses in the Valley and I think

42:26

that their plan is to hopefully just get like

42:28

sucked into the Valley and have that

42:30

kind of still be the next version of Vanderpump

42:32

rules . That's on TV . Tom

42:36

Schwartz was on Amanda Hirsch's

42:38

Not Skinny but Not Fat podcast this past

42:40

week and he confirmed that

42:42

before Scandival , the Valley

42:44

was the plan . Bravo was gonna

42:46

just spin everybody off , vanderpump

42:49

rules is gonna be over , and

42:51

that was the plan . But then Scandival happened and they

42:53

decided to squeeze out this last season . So

42:55

I kind of think that that's maybe still the direction that Bravo's

42:58

gonna go in . They're probably gonna cancel

43:00

Vanderpump rules or maybe just kind of let

43:02

it go out on , I guess , a high note and

43:05

move over into the Valley . I'm excited

43:07

for that . I think we've all had enough

43:09

Vanderpump rules . It's my favorite

43:12

show on Bravo . I'm gonna be sad to see it go

43:14

, but don't you want things to kind of go out

43:16

on a high instead of

43:18

having to end back on season 10 when it

43:20

was really bad and everybody was calling

43:22

for it to get canceled ? So I'm actually

43:24

kind of happy to hear that this might be a

43:26

possible potential plan for

43:28

Bravo . Now getting back to the house

43:30

about Brock and Sheena . So they buy

43:33

this house together jointly , but

43:35

then , after they have the sale of the home , sheena

43:38

petitions to be the sole owner

43:40

on the deed . Now they've

43:43

had some different people weigh

43:45

in on this legal experts

43:47

and basically there's two reasons

43:49

for this . They said there's either a divorce

43:51

coming or a bankruptcy . That's

43:54

the only reason why somebody

43:57

would want to be the sole owner . So

43:59

it sounds like Brock . I don't know , it's

44:01

gonna be definitely one of the two . They're showing us

44:03

a lot in the editing

44:05

problems going on with Brock and Sheena , and another

44:08

thing that I posted on my Instagram was about

44:10

Sheena's mom , erika . Like don't

44:12

you guys feel like she's a little sus ? I

44:15

specifically posted the scene when

44:17

Brock poses to Sheena and her

44:20

mom is like creeping , like looking

44:22

out the window , pulling back the window shades , like watching

44:24

them , and she's shaking her head and

44:27

basically what I would like to say ? Like

44:29

disbelief slash disgust at

44:31

the fact that Brock was proposing just

44:34

seems like Erika has never really been a fan

44:36

of Brock . So I mean , has anybody really

44:38

been a fan of Brock ? I also like

44:41

, side note , I hate that he wears those little like

44:43

Speedos grosses me out . So

44:45

this is me . Some

44:47

people probably love it , but I

44:50

think it sounds like to me Brock is gonna

44:52

probably file for some kind of bankruptcy

44:54

. I think that he has

44:56

had a lot of problems starting

44:59

to have his own career here after he was

45:01

a rugby player . You know , in 2020

45:03

, it sounds like a lot of the American

45:06

rugby players basically got like laid

45:08

off and I don't think like the league ever came

45:10

back . And if you guys watch Southern

45:12

Hospitality you'll know about O'Sheen . O'sheen

45:14

was also one of Brock's friends

45:17

that played rugby . If you guys remember that

45:19

episode where Brock and

45:21

O'Sheen are at that party , at Tom

45:23

and Ariana's , and O'Sheen grabs

45:25

Charlie and they're like all disgusted

45:27

by him yeah , that was O'Sheen , and

45:32

it's just easy

45:34

to see that Brock has like tried to

45:36

use Sheena , I think , to

45:38

kind of stay , you

45:41

know , build a life for himself , because

45:44

, just because of the timing of everything , so

45:46

I don't know , I don't like Brock . Remember he tried to have that app

45:48

and he was asking everybody to like do free advertisements

45:50

and like post and do videos

45:52

and stuff for him . Like he just seems kind

45:55

of like like a , like a , like

45:57

a mooch Right , like that's the word that

45:59

he's mooching off of everybody , trying

46:01

to just get free stuff from them all the time . And Sheena

46:04

is a perfect victim for

46:07

a mooch , like she

46:09

is a , a perfect target . Brock

46:11

is really this type of guy and he

46:13

met Sheena that he probably

46:15

saw Yep Going to get a green card

46:17

, yep , this girl's going to finance

46:20

my whole life . I'm kind of like Angelina's

46:22

dad when he met her and

46:24

was like oh , I just see dollar signs Like

46:26

I'm coming into this lady's life she's established

46:28

, already been on TV for 10 years Like we're

46:31

doing the damn thing . It's

46:33

not good . I'm not going to talk about summer moon . I actually

46:35

got into some fights in the comment

46:37

section of Instagram about summer moon

46:39

and I've learned not to talk about the children anymore

46:42

. But that's a whole other opinion

46:44

that I have and it's just

46:46

. I don't know . I don't like Brock . I

46:48

really don't like the fact that his

46:51

children in Australia aren't in his life

46:53

and there's just a lot

46:55

going on there . So we'll

46:58

see if this whole thing comes to

47:00

fruition with the valley and if they become

47:02

part of it . I don't know if

47:04

Brock and Sheena are going to get a divorce , even though

47:06

they're kind of making it seem like they're having problems this

47:08

season Unclear . We will see what happens

47:10

. You have to watch what happens live

47:12

. But that has been a big part

47:15

of social media this week and just

47:17

seen what's been going on , with Brock and Sheena Now

47:19

talking about the sale of the house . You've

47:21

got to also talk about the issue

47:23

with Ariana and Tom getting rid of their

47:25

house . So it looks

47:28

like Tom is now suing Ariana for $90,000

47:31

that apparently was alone that he gave her

47:33

through the

47:35

through the house , and I guess

47:37

now he's trying to sue her for that . Seems

47:40

like they're going to have a really hard time

47:42

getting out of this house . I can't believe that they're still there

47:45

together , like I personally never could have been able

47:47

to do it . But it's kind

47:49

of crazy how many lawsuits are going on in

47:51

the Bravo verse right now . It's actually kind of scary

47:53

and , like I said , really dark . I'm not really

47:55

liking this Bravo era that we're in , but

47:58

you got to talk about it . And

48:00

that definitely brings us to the next lawsuit

48:02

, which is Rachel versus Tom and

48:04

Ariana in the case of her revenge

48:07

porn . So , as

48:09

a female , I can admit

48:11

that I've sent pictures and

48:13

stuff of myself to people and

48:15

it's it's definitely like a fear that you always

48:18

have in the back of your head , like what if this person

48:20

like you know I have X's now that are out

48:23

in the universe that have

48:25

pictures of me ? And that's like a disgusting

48:27

and thought , um , you know , I was young

48:29

and I probably should have never done that , but thank

48:31

God this law exists

48:33

where they can never release

48:36

these things or distribute them or share them with

48:38

anybody or , you know , you can sue them . So

48:40

that's that's been put into protection

48:42

for a really good reason and

48:44

because it's something human that all

48:46

girls do I don't want to say all girls , but you

48:48

know a lot of people do . It's really important

48:51

to recognize that these laws are put in place to protect

48:53

us and to make sure that we can , you know , do

48:55

these normal things like want to

48:57

be able to send a sexy photo to someone you're dating

48:59

or whatever , um , with consent

49:02

. Now , the problem with this case is that

49:04

there was no consent . Um

49:06

, rachel unfortunately did FaceTime

49:09

. Tom did some scandalous

49:12

things . He chose to record on

49:14

his end and then the night that

49:16

everything broke , scant

49:19

of all broke , which is exactly , you know , one year ago

49:21

that we were all on

49:23

our mics talking about this . But

49:26

, um , the night that scant of all broke

49:28

, which is exactly one year ago , ariana

49:30

phoned Tom's phone . She found the said

49:32

video of Rachel and that's what

49:34

started this whole thing . So it

49:36

is crazy to think it's been a year , but I actually

49:39

think Rachel has a case here , um , and

49:41

I actually think I would sue the shit out of anybody

49:43

that ever did that to me . So I , even

49:45

though I'm team Ariana for life , I I don't

49:48

think that this was right and I know that even

49:50

in the moment when she was really upset , I think

49:52

it's one thing to tell people

49:54

that that's what she found , but if she was

49:56

indeed showing people this video and in

49:59

any way sending it to people , distributing it , taking

50:01

her own copies of it , like that is fucked up and she shouldn't have

50:03

done that . So , stuck

50:06

between a Brock and a hard place on

50:08

this one , but I definitely don't think

50:10

that , um , that that was cool . So

50:13

it's disappointing to see

50:15

that this is where we're at , but , um

50:17

, I hope that there can be some resolution

50:19

and some healing here in this situation and

50:21

hopefully eventually we can all move on

50:23

from Scantable . So number

50:26

three most talked about moment of the week VPR

50:28

lawsuits drama . Beyond

50:30

Number

50:32

two , we got to talk about two . I'm going to keep this short

50:35

because this is sad too and I

50:37

just want to put my support

50:39

out there . So the number

50:41

two most talked about lawsuit

50:43

moment of the week is now Leah McSweeney

50:46

coming out and putting her lawsuit

50:48

out against Andy , claiming

50:50

that he offers cocaine to

50:53

people um , especially housewives

50:55

, and gives them favorable edits

50:58

, et cetera . Um , if they do use

51:00

with him and just

51:02

the idea that he um acts

51:05

. You know that he acts a certain way and basically

51:07

does these things Um

51:09

. You know it's one thing to do them in the private privacy

51:12

of your own home , but it's it is

51:14

another thing to be having them in the workplace

51:16

, um , and be offering them to the

51:18

talent . So again

51:20

, um , I

51:23

don't really know what I think is true . Like

51:25

, I guess two things can be true at the

51:27

same time . Like , do I believe

51:29

Andy recreationally uses

51:31

drugs ? Sure , I do . I

51:34

think he might have even admitted that he has . So

51:37

I do believe that . Do

51:39

I think that he's done these

51:41

drugs with some housewives ? I

51:44

potentially do think that is true . But

51:47

do I ever think that Andy coerced

51:50

somebody , gave somebody

51:52

special treatment ? Um

51:55

, no , I don't believe it . I don't

51:57

think that Andy is this guy that Leah is

51:59

painting him out to be in this lawsuit . I

52:01

think that you're naturally

52:03

going to like people a little

52:06

bit more that you have experiences with

52:08

, especially like you have these coworkers that you work with and

52:11

you don't hang out with all of them outside

52:13

of work , but there's usually a few that you are really

52:15

good friends with and you actually take your relationship

52:18

out of the office . That is normal . So

52:21

I think Andy , being in the same

52:23

age group , being around these women for last 20

52:26

years , I do think that the lines

52:28

have probably been blurred outside of the work

52:31

where things have happened , you

52:33

know , if it's consensual and

52:35

these housewives wanted to do these things with

52:38

him , and they were just doing that for fun , like

52:40

on their own time , like that's actually just their

52:42

business . The fact that he

52:44

is trying to claim that he , you know , forces

52:47

it or whatever in the workplace

52:49

, like that's just a really hard pill to swallow

52:51

. I think we'll all be really disappointed

52:53

. Um , if more

52:55

things start to come out like anything else

52:57

disturbing because , um , it's

53:01

daddy Andy , you guys like we , we

53:03

can't bite again the hand that feeds us . Like this man

53:05

has given us everything . I

53:07

want to make sure that we continue to support him . So

53:10

many housewives have came out in support of him

53:12

, making posts and every time I see a new

53:15

housewife come up , I'm like , yes , please support

53:17

Andy . Like we . Our

53:20

King's got to feel down right now . He's

53:22

got to feel down . He's got to feel probably

53:24

even ashamed of some of the things that he's done . Um

53:26

, you know , whether or not , allegedly , these things are

53:28

even true or whatever . He probably

53:30

feels really bad that he's ever done these things now and he probably

53:32

has his own regrets . So I'm

53:35

really praying that in a court of law that this lawsuit

53:38

is dismissed . Um , no filter

53:40

. Was Zach ? Oh , I love him . He's the best . I met

53:42

him at Bravo con you guys that and

53:44

we had the most fun like I had the most fun with him

53:46

. He is amazing . Make sure

53:48

you're following him . But he posted

53:51

a video of Leah

53:53

on the Thailand trip , of her being like yeah , I'm bored . Girls

53:55

Like , why don't you guys all take some shots and entertain me

53:57

? Like this is again a classic case of projection

53:59

. She was the one that

54:01

actually was trying to course the women to use alcohol

54:04

to be more interesting , she

54:06

was the one that was telling these girls to do this stuff . Now

54:10

, this is a like literally exhibit a . I think if you were to

54:12

play that video

54:15

in front of the judge , she would just be like okay , dismiss . So

54:17

hopefully this video gets presented

54:19

to him or her , whoever the judge is

54:21

, and they can just get rid of

54:24

this and get you know clear Andy's name . We

54:29

need Andy to get back to making Bravo the beautiful place

54:31

that it can be . We support Andy in this house

54:33

, which again

54:35

I can't believe . I'd have to say I

54:38

can like think of three accounts right now that I've seen like

54:40

bashing Andy , like

54:42

fuck off , leave Andy , like

54:45

fuck off , leave Andy alone

54:47

. God , I can't believe that . People

54:50

that are making money off

54:52

of him I'm talking shit about him . It's like okay

54:54

, if you don't like Andy , then you shouldn't have a Bravo

54:56

account and you shouldn't be

54:58

out there making money off of him , and

55:03

okay . So the darkness is not

55:05

over you guys . Unfortunately

55:07

, we still have one more topic to discuss

55:10

and this has been the

55:12

craziest one yet . So number

55:15

one was talked about moment of the week how

55:17

my drum roll is

55:19

Carl and Lindsay . So

55:23

okay , I tried to take the honest

55:25

route with this one before and I

55:27

was like , okay , I'm going to just like be myself , tell

55:30

people how I feel , put my opinion out

55:32

there , and I literally got eaten alive

55:34

. So I was

55:36

shocked to see how many people really

55:39

think Carl's wrong in this situation . But

55:41

I'm not going

55:44

to speak on that , I'm

55:46

just going to deliver what happened

55:48

and I guess let everybody you know continue

55:50

to make their own opinions and I'll sprinkle

55:52

in a little bit of mine there too . But again , please

55:54

don't come for me , because I

55:57

can only just say things Like bias

55:59

is created based

56:01

on your own personal experiences

56:03

and again , because I have dealt

56:06

with people that are in the program , people that

56:08

have gotten sober , that are close to me , and I've

56:10

also dealt with like psychos , on

56:12

drugs . So I just feel like

56:14

I have my own opinions about this whole situation . So

56:19

where do we even start ? Let's

56:21

just start from the

56:23

beginning of the night . Everybody's getting ready

56:25

in the summer house to go out . Now Lindsay comes

56:27

in hot . Remember , she wasn't really in the first

56:29

episode because they were in DC , on

56:31

the lawn . And

56:33

again , it's important to note that they weren't in

56:36

the White House , because that's

56:39

not what's going on . They were on the lawn with like five

56:41

million other people and

56:44

they go to this Fourth

56:46

of July party . They're not in the Hamptons . Everybody else

56:48

goes to the summer house for the first weekend and begins

56:50

to bond right away and they're all having a lot of fun

56:52

and they're kind of thinking like , why do we even need Carl

56:54

and Lindsay ? It's not great . They're basically

56:57

thinking like , ok , we don't need them . But

56:59

of course it wouldn't be a summer house if

57:01

there wasn't drama . So we need Lindsay to come

57:03

in and do this . So I

57:06

realize that she is necessary to the show , but

57:08

I can like her as

57:11

a character and not like her as a person . And

57:13

I think that that's where TV

57:15

reality TV specifically gets

57:17

tricky , because you can be

57:20

like OK , I like this person for the show , I like

57:22

the dynamic that it brings , I

57:24

like this , but like I don't really like them as a person

57:26

outside of the show . There's two different things going

57:28

on here . So I appreciate what Lindsay

57:31

does for the show Doesn't mean I

57:33

want to hang out with her . But so

57:37

Lindsay comes in hot . She wasn't

57:39

there the first weekend . She's already pissed that she didn't get to choose

57:41

her room . They get the hot room . She's coming

57:43

after West . You know they all

57:45

start getting ready to go out and

57:48

it doesn't really show

57:50

much in between . It just fast

57:52

forwards to one hour later and in comes

57:54

Lindsay and Gabby back to the house by

57:56

themselves . It is

57:58

then later revealed that that Lindsay

58:01

was pretty much like on one in

58:03

the cab , because she decided to go in

58:05

the cab with the boys out and

58:07

all the girls were together and she started

58:09

getting in her head about how it was going to be

58:12

portrayed and again , I think a big problem

58:14

it's like the unspoken

58:17

fourth wall of the show is like these people

58:19

thinking about how they're going to be portrayed

58:21

and I think they start like spiraling when they realize

58:24

they're not going to be likable . And

58:26

I think Lindsay had some

58:28

kind of a sobering moment where

58:31

she was like shit , like I've been here

58:33

for whatever three hours

58:35

and I'm already coming off bad , like

58:37

I need Carl to

58:39

basically like help me get

58:42

back on a good path and get

58:44

in good with the girls and try to make this

58:47

summer fun , and etc . So

58:49

I think that she starts having these thoughts and when she

58:51

brings them up to Carl , carl

58:53

dismisses her . So I

58:56

have a lot of empathy for Carl in this

58:58

moment because A Lindsey's wasted

59:01

, so Lindsey's wasted

59:03

, carl sober , and then Lindsey's kind of having

59:05

these like gibberish thoughts

59:08

about her needing

59:10

some support from Carl because she's afraid

59:12

that the girls are going to come from him and Carl tries

59:15

to calm her down and be like no

59:17

, you know , it's going to be okay

59:20

, the girls aren't going to think that you're not going to be

59:22

villainized , like we're just

59:24

taking a cab out . It's not that deep but

59:27

unfortunately for Lindsey , like that triggers

59:29

her and sends her even into a deeper

59:32

spiral where she then accuses

59:34

Carl of being on drugs . Because how

59:36

could you not just agree with me ? You

59:38

must be on drugs to not agree

59:40

with me , and that

59:43

is problematic in its own . If

59:45

you think that you're so right and so

59:47

perfect and that everything you say is gospel

59:49

, then if

59:52

anybody disagrees with you they must be on drugs

59:54

. It's just like . Okay , why

59:56

such a jump from like A to

59:58

Z ? Like why did we have to go there

1:00:01

? Why couldn't you just be upset with Carl

1:00:03

for not , you know , being supportive

1:00:05

period , not not being supportive

1:00:08

because he's not sober ? It just it's

1:00:10

. It's crazy . It's crazy

1:00:12

, you guys . Like there's no other word . She's acting

1:00:14

like a nut . So

1:00:16

they get out of the cab

1:00:19

, they go into the bar and , according

1:00:21

to Amanda , who took notes on her phone , lindsey

1:00:24

was just visibly upset right away . She

1:00:26

didn't really even give the night a chance . She

1:00:28

was really swept up in her own emotions and

1:00:31

really started to accuse

1:00:33

Carl of not being sober . So it

1:00:36

leaks out from it just being with the guys

1:00:39

seeing how she's treating him . But

1:00:41

then now all the girls are seeing how she's treating

1:00:43

him . So yes , the whole house

1:00:45

then turns on her based

1:00:47

on her own behaviors . Okay , like

1:00:49

, not because of Carl . They

1:00:52

turn on her because they just don't like Lindsey

1:00:54

and I think that that's really hard for people

1:00:56

to understand that she's

1:00:58

like , not likeable . I

1:01:01

don't know what would you guys like

1:01:03

that if somebody did that to you , would

1:01:05

put yourself in Carl's shoes . You're

1:01:08

gonna tell me you're still gonna be on Lindsey's side . I don't know

1:01:10

. That to me is bananas , but to each

1:01:12

their own . So she

1:01:14

leaves with Gabby and she goes back and she's

1:01:17

wasted . You guys like she , she

1:01:19

. There's no way that she can clearly remember

1:01:21

the events of the evening . You can tell that she's

1:01:23

, you can just tell that she's

1:01:25

like on one . So

1:01:28

she's telling Gabby I

1:01:30

don't think he's sober . She calls him cocaine

1:01:32

Carl . My jaw was on the floor . That

1:01:34

should have been my OMG moment of the week , the

1:01:37

fact that she called him cocaine Carl , like that just

1:01:39

rolled off the tongue a little too easy . And if

1:01:41

that's remember or drunken words

1:01:43

are sober thoughts , right . So if she's

1:01:45

saying this all when she's drunk , like she thinks this

1:01:48

a lot when she's sober , and the whole

1:01:50

thing is problematic because this is

1:01:52

again . They're supposed to be getting

1:01:54

married in like eight weeks

1:01:56

or 12 weeks or something . So it's

1:01:59

really alarming to everybody in the house

1:02:01

. Now they

1:02:04

start doing some texting . Carl

1:02:06

is telling her like I'm going to talk to you tomorrow when

1:02:08

you're sober . Like let's just stop . And

1:02:10

like , no , I'm going to talk to you when you're sober

1:02:13

, and it's just not a good luck , you guys . The

1:02:15

whole thing is really cringy . The

1:02:17

next morning they wake up and in my

1:02:19

heart I'm thinking like , okay , the

1:02:22

damage has been done . She already accused

1:02:24

him of not being sober , but she's

1:02:26

going to wake up and she's . She's

1:02:28

not going to apologize or take accountability , because I

1:02:30

know my Lindsay , she's not going to do that . But

1:02:33

I thought at least she was going to do

1:02:35

like babe and like I'm sorry , like I

1:02:37

thought there would be at least a

1:02:39

sweeping under the rug of it so that

1:02:41

they could move on with the summer . But she

1:02:43

unfortunately immediately doubles

1:02:45

down . She stands by everything

1:02:47

she said and then , even all the way up into

1:02:50

the Instagram statement that she

1:02:52

released yesterday , she still is

1:02:54

believing in what she said about him

1:02:56

. She still believes that Carl was not

1:02:58

sober . So it's funny

1:03:00

because now I watched . I don't want to give you guys

1:03:03

like any spoilers , but it's not really that much

1:03:05

of a spoiler if it's already out there , but they show

1:03:07

the next , the six minutes

1:03:09

of the next episode , you know , on the Bravo previews

1:03:12

. So again , like fast forward here , like two

1:03:14

minutes if you don't want to hear what happens

1:03:16

. But pretty much she

1:03:18

just totally continues to double down

1:03:21

and one

1:03:23

of the producers asks her like but did

1:03:25

you ever really think that Carl

1:03:27

wasn't sober ? And she says no

1:03:29

. So she , she already admits

1:03:32

that everything that she said was bullshit

1:03:35

, but unfortunately

1:03:37

she can't own that . She

1:03:40

can't tell everybody in the house that . She can't

1:03:42

tell Carl that she

1:03:44

just really needs to be right

1:03:46

. And again this comes down to

1:03:49

, I think , just like the optics of the show

1:03:51

and like her wanting to look a certain way

1:03:53

and basically write her own narrative

1:03:55

and it's , it's just

1:03:58

messy . The whole situation was really

1:04:00

cringy to me . We're

1:04:02

gonna obviously have to continue to watch this season

1:04:04

to see how this plays out , but it just from

1:04:06

everything I've seen online and I actually

1:04:09

have seen all some , I feel like mutual

1:04:11

friends . It just doesn't seem like , even

1:04:13

currently , the way that Lindsay is talking

1:04:15

about the show to her friends

1:04:17

and people in her life , that she's like learned

1:04:20

anything or that she regrets anything

1:04:22

. Now she is going to be the guest

1:04:25

on Watch what Happens Live on Thursday . So

1:04:27

I'm scared . I'm

1:04:29

scared , you guys , because it's

1:04:32

really a hard conversation

1:04:35

to navigate . I can't really like talk about

1:04:37

it on my Instagram , because this is a safe

1:04:40

place . This is my platform . Like if you're here

1:04:42

for Bellatox TV , like I get to do

1:04:44

this . But there's something about Instagram

1:04:46

where it really triggers

1:04:48

people , so I'm not going to really like

1:04:50

be talking about it much on there . But please

1:04:52

continue to join me here . I

1:04:55

hope that you guys agree with me . I don't know , like

1:04:57

, if you don't . I also hope that

1:04:59

you guys can understand that it's it's

1:05:01

really good to also interact

1:05:04

with podcasts , content creators etc

1:05:06

. That like don't have the same opinion as you , because

1:05:09

it kind of reminds me of like Trump

1:05:11

. Like if you're only watching Fox News and

1:05:13

like getting news from there , like that's all you're going

1:05:15

to believe . So I think it's important . I hope that you guys will still

1:05:18

continue to listen to me , even

1:05:21

if you disagree with me , but I understand if you don't , because

1:05:24

this is a really personal thing for people . I

1:05:27

don't operate that way in my Bravo life , like

1:05:29

I don't . I know that these people are a . They're

1:05:32

not my real friends . They don't pay my

1:05:34

bills , they don't live in my house , they

1:05:36

don't sleep in my bed next to me

1:05:38

Like I . I just don't really care

1:05:40

about if they like me . So

1:05:42

I'm just saying my real , honest

1:05:45

, authentic opinion and

1:05:47

that's what this is all about to me Just

1:05:49

being able to vent all these crazy thoughts out

1:05:52

that I have . You know , when you watch

1:05:54

all these shows and you consume all this stuff , like it's

1:05:56

natural for you to want to have reactions and

1:05:58

want to be able to share your opinions about it . So

1:06:00

that's , that's just really where

1:06:02

I'm coming from this week . You guys , I really hope

1:06:04

that you still enjoyed this episode , even

1:06:06

though we had a lot of polarizing topics

1:06:09

to talk about , and I hope that you really take what I

1:06:11

said to heart about me being

1:06:14

a good person . Like you know , when Snooki

1:06:16

gets arrested , she's like I'm a good person

1:06:18

, like I'm a good person . You guys

1:06:20

like I . I , at the end of the day , like I'm not

1:06:22

dying on the hill for any of these people . I'm

1:06:24

not standing any of these people . I'm always open

1:06:26

to changing my opinion when

1:06:29

new information is received , and

1:06:31

I hope . I hope that I'm able to change

1:06:34

my opinions and I constantly

1:06:36

like to come back . You know , dari is a really good example . Like

1:06:38

I don't agree with anything that she said

1:06:40

. I'm not going to be including her and like kind of like

1:06:42

my list of favorites anymore . I think that she's

1:06:45

now been like demoted because unfortunately , like

1:06:47

she just put her foot in her mouth like too many times this

1:06:50

season , so I removed

1:06:52

her from the stand list . You know , you got to do

1:06:54

what you got to do . I'm willing to change

1:06:56

and evolve as a content creator . So

1:06:58

thank you all again for

1:07:00

being here . This

1:07:02

was a crazy week . Hopefully next week we'll have

1:07:05

a little bit like lighter , funny stuff to talk

1:07:07

about . But I really appreciate you guys

1:07:09

at all . I didn't even need to talk about my wedding at all . It's

1:07:11

in 30 days . So leading

1:07:14

up to there again , I'm going to try to pre

1:07:16

record some episodes that you guys have content

1:07:18

from me the week of my wedding

1:07:20

, the week of my honeymoon , etc . So I

1:07:23

love you all . Thank you all for being here , thanks

1:07:25

for just , you know , supporting

1:07:28

me and letting my freak flag

1:07:30

fly , and I hope that you all have a great

1:07:32

week . I have been playing around on the

1:07:34

days that I've been releasing these episodes just

1:07:36

trying to see if they changed my metrics at all

1:07:39

. I know people like I personally

1:07:41

love when podcasts are released towards

1:07:43

the end of the week because when the weekend comes

1:07:45

, like I need a lot of content and things to do

1:07:47

, I like to you

1:07:49

know if I'm going for a drive , going for a walk

1:07:52

, like things on the weekend , I want to be able to have my podcast

1:07:54

. But then some people really like to listen to them

1:07:56

, like when they're at work , to help them get through

1:07:58

their workdays and stuff . So I'm

1:08:00

basically just releasing these episodes as

1:08:02

I make them randomly on different days and we'll

1:08:04

just see what happens . So sorry for

1:08:07

the inconsistency , but again , it's just me

1:08:09

here doing this and love

1:08:11

you all . Have a great week and

1:08:13

keep in touch on Instagram . Go , rate

1:08:15

and review and have a good one . Ciao

1:08:18

Bella .
