0:13

Oh my god.

0:15

I didn't have the full understanding

0:18

because I hadn't seen the episode and

0:20

I've only seen what is on social

0:23

media about Kyle's

0:25

text to Dorit.

0:28

But Kyle sent a long, heartfelt,

0:31

emotional, guttural text

0:36

to Dorit, and Dorrit chose to air

0:38

it on the show, and the production

0:40

company and the network allowed

0:43

that.

0:44

Like what a personal violation

0:47

like.

0:47

That is not something I have to ask anybody if

0:50

it's okay.

0:51

It's crazy.

0:53

There's just I can't imagine

0:55

a universe where you would feel is

0:59

this big brother? Like this is the Handmaid's

1:01

Tale? I mean, what

1:03

else could it possibly be? You're on a show,

1:06

and you're working on the show, then you're off the show

1:08

and you're texting, Like does

1:10

everybody have to hand over all of their personal

1:12

thoughts too? It's your actions,

1:16

and it's the things you say when you're on

1:18

camera, but it's the things you say

1:20

when you're off camera too. That's insanity.

1:24

Like that is such a violation and

1:26

anyone who doesn't understand that is wrong

1:29

And I never say that. If you don't understand

1:31

that, that's a crazy violation and.

1:33

Should be illegal. That is

1:35

wrong.

1:36

Wow, imagine like watching television

1:38

and be like, oh my god, cause

1:41

you're like, what else have I texted Dory in

1:44

the years that we've known each other? I

1:46

mean, good God, I

1:49

could tell you this with great certainty. Luan,

1:52

Ramona, Jill, Alex,

1:55

Kelly be like, I don't know if I've ever texted Kelly

1:57

Ben Timone, but like to

1:59

share a personal text. I mean I

2:01

have text with Andy Cohen for

2:03

years. I would never share them text

2:06

with Kelly Rippa. I have text with people

2:08

that I've worked with that I can't

2:11

stand in the past. I would never air

2:13

a personal text like

2:17

or or an instant you know, an Instagram

2:19

message, Like that's where the line

2:21

is. You know, you do everything

2:24

above board, like we're in the ring and

2:26

whatever happens in there is you're in the ring. But

2:28

like you don't like smack

2:30

someone on the back of the head as you're walking out,

2:32

like it's not fair fighting, what the

2:35

fuck? And Kyle's not gonna

2:37

air Dorit's messages because that's two wrong

2:39

to make it right, and that's not gonna make her feel any better.

2:41

It's just so unethical from every single

2:43

person. And does

2:46

anyone not understand that, Like this is insane.

2:50

I mean, it's crazy. That's I don't

2:52

know why.

2:52

That hit like on the back of the head, like, are you fucking

2:54

kidding me?

2:55

That's crazy.

2:57

If I thought my personal texts, oh

3:00

my god, that is horrendous.

3:05

And Kyle is a favorite there,

3:08

and that's how they treat their favorite

3:10

children. That's what happens

3:12

to the favorite child in the family.

3:17

Imagine what happens to the least favorite

3:19

children in the family. So

3:27

I need to make the distinction

3:29

between them

3:33

on reunions, airing

3:38

a text that someone shows when

3:41

there's a discrepancy. So

3:43

I'm like, you called me a

3:46

whore. No, I didn't, Yes I did. Here's the

3:48

text you called me a whore. That

3:50

is very different than just

3:55

unilaterally deciding

3:57

to err a text when someone is so emotionally

4:00

vulnerable and just saying that they're

4:02

at their lowest point like that could send

4:04

someone over the edge emotionally.

4:07

That's very different. And maybe

4:09

listen, I came up at the time when there were

4:12

no texts, there were no receipts.

4:14

That started later, and

4:18

I believe I called

4:21

Dennis on camera

4:23

to prove a point. And

4:26

I believe that Carol and I

4:28

were having a dispute and we showed

4:30

andy texts,

4:33

but I don't believe

4:36

we read entire texts.

4:39

Ever, I've never read an entire text of someone

4:41

else's like I feel like that's private or

4:44

an Instagram message.

4:45

So that is very different.

4:46

Like you can't say Kyle texting someone

4:49

heartfelt. That doesn't incriminate anyone,

4:51

That doesn't settle any argument, that has nothing

4:53

to do with anything else. Really that's necessary

4:56

or relevant, Like it wasn't like someone

5:00

else said that Kyle

5:04

killed somebody and then Dorrie was

5:06

like, here's the evidence she killed somebody?

5:08

Or she didn't like it was literally, Hi,

5:11

we're friends. I'm sorry, I'm vulnerable.

5:13

I'm at a low point and that was aired.

5:15

So if you don't see that that's different, then you're

5:17

just clueless. Let's

5:30

talk about the texts that Dorit shared on

5:32

the Housewives. The press is saying that

5:34

I'm blaming Dorit. I'm actually not blaming Doriet

5:37

at all. Dorrit is not at fault. Dorit

5:39

is a housewife doing a housewives job.

5:41

Dorriy is a soldier and

5:43

she's a good housewife, and she

5:46

needs the job. She wants the job, she's good

5:48

at the job. She's doing her job. There

5:50

are no real deep

5:54

personal relationships

5:56

possible on the Housewives. It's

5:58

affected siblings, affected sister

6:00

in laws, it's affected cousins, it's

6:03

affected friendships. We've

6:05

seen best friends crumble, We've

6:07

seen sisters go to war.

6:10

That's a fact. So Dorita is

6:12

just doing her job.

6:13

You cannot get mad at Dorit because you cannot

6:15

get mad at anyone for what they're doing under duress.

6:18

And that's why so many housewives have admittedly

6:20

said that they take anti anxiety medication,

6:22

antidepression medication, because

6:24

The Housewives is

6:27

an alternate universe where it's

6:30

heightened drinking, heightened stress, heightened

6:32

nervous system activation, traveling,

6:35

and not getting enough sleep, alcohol

6:38

being everywhere, alcohol is seeming like a good

6:40

idea, drugs seeming like a good idea,

6:42

falling off the wagon.

6:44

All of these things are true.

6:46

So Dorita is in a situation where

6:48

she wants to get raiding. She's a housewife, and she

6:50

also has producers in her ear telling her

6:52

it's a good idea that happens all

6:54

the time. I do not blame Dorit. Also,

6:57

we're dealing with a situation where this is a

7:00

person sending a text who's under mental

7:02

and emotional dress.

7:03

She says it in the text.

7:04

She says she's at an emotional low, so

7:07

now she's at a vulnerable point.

7:10

She's going through a bad divorce.

7:12

It's affecting her emotional and

7:14

mental well being, and she's

7:17

communicating that. That's different than

7:19

I ever seated at a reunion. When someone says you didn't

7:21

say that, someone says I did say that, and

7:23

then they provide a receipt. That's a very

7:25

different circumstance. So don't

7:27

get it twisted. I'm not blaming Doried.

7:30

Don't hate the player, hate the game. So

7:37

there are rumors that Watch what Happens Live

7:40

end or Andy Cohen's tenure on that

7:42

show will end soon because

7:45

of failed

7:48

ratings, and that show has never really rated

7:50

that high. But it's a flagship store

7:53

to promote the Bravo product, so it's

7:56

a great place to have a conversation

7:59

about Bravo shows that

8:02

will definitely and always

8:04

does result in pickup, which ends

8:06

up promoting those shows.

8:08

It's always been a promotional vehicle, and

8:12

everyone can decide over ten

8:14

years later to criticize Andy

8:16

because of that, and certainly

8:19

he and I are not thick as thieves at the

8:21

moment, but I will say that he's

8:23

done a great job, Like he

8:25

really has had an incredible

8:28

run from a show that in the very beginning

8:31

Kathy Griffin didn't want to do because she was like, I've

8:33

done the Tonight Show with Johnny

8:35

Carson, I'm not doing watch.

8:37

What Happens Live.

8:37

And the show started with Dan Yell as

8:40

its first guest. I used to be on in

8:42

the beginning, and Oprah's

8:45

been on, Share has been on, Madonna's

8:48

been on pretty

8:51

crazy guests on that show, but not

8:53

just the guests. He's been charismatic,

8:56

entertaining. He makes it look easy

8:58

and it's not easy, and just the grind

9:00

of going in every single night and it being

9:03

live and getting killed and criticized

9:05

for different things. And it's been incredibly lucrative

9:08

for him and it's been a great, as I said,

9:10

promotional tool and vehicle. But he's

9:12

done great and had a good run. So it's

9:15

never been a ratings darling, but

9:17

that you know, ratings are amazing

9:19

and advertisers are all

9:21

about the ratings, but that show has

9:23

had a double and triple dip in that it's been

9:25

a great promotional vehicle and

9:28

it's been a coveted seat

9:30

for women to come on and hawk

9:32

their wares and promote the

9:34

show, and it's been

9:37

like a rite of passage. So many people have passed

9:39

through there, so it's definitely been an iconic

9:42

touchstone in entertainment for years
