Bravo stars have gathered for Andy Cohen’s baby shower and the annual Bravocon, of course. But we don’t always see these contentious celebrities come together en masse outside of mandatory media events and filming. Not so on July 22 as dozens of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Vanderpump Rules, and The Valley cast members past and present celebrated Sutton Stracke‘s Green Label fashion house launch. See who attended and who was photographed sitting together here.

Brandi Glanville Slams Caroline Manzo Lawsuit, Claims Manzo Has ‘Buyer’s Remorse’

Andrea Francese — Sun, 09 Jun 2024 21:55:52 +0000

Caroline Manzo was set to appear on The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip. Her involvement in the series was announced in January 2023, but months later, Manzo left filming early. The former reality TV star later came out and said Brandi Glanville, her co-star, had sexually assaulted her, and production stood by while it happened. The drama between Manzo, Glanville, and Bravo has now progressed to a lawsuit. Manzo is suing. While Glanville isn’t named in the lawsuit, she’s tired of the allegations. In the wake of Manzo’s most recent court filing, Glanville took to social media to accuse Manzo of lying about what happened between them. She even suggested Manzo had “buyer’s remorse.”

Caroline Manzo sues Bravo over an incident on the set of ‘The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip’

Caroline Manzo’s lawsuit against Bravo and several other companies is moving forward. Earlier this month, Page Six obtained a signed affidavit from Caroline Manzo’s lawsuit against Bravo, NBCUniversal, Shed Media, Forest Productions, Warner Bros. Entertainment, and Peacock TV. In the explosive court filing, Manzo accuses Bravo and the other named companies of plying talent with alcohol and failing to intervene during an incident Manzo asserts was a sexual assault.

Manzo said during the filming of The Real Housewives: Ultimat Girls Trip, Brandi Glanville, her co-star, sexually assaulted her. She alleged Glanville held her down on the couch and forcibly kissed her. She went on to accuse Glanville of cornering her in the bathroom and fondling her vagina without her consent, among other inappropriate behaviors. Manzo left filming early, and the season has been shelved for now. Glanville was not named as a defendant in the lawsuit, but she’s speaking out about it.

Brandi Glanville reacts to recent Caroline Manzo lawsuit news

Brandi Glanville has spent more than a year dealing with the fallout of Caroline Manzo’s sexual assault allegations, and apparently, she’s sick of it. Shortly after court documents were leaked to the media, Glanville took to X (formerly Twitter) to set the record straight. In a multi-post diatribe, Glanville claims there was no sexual assault. She accused Caroline Manzo of having “buyer’s remorse.” She even alleged the New Jersey native was an active and willing participant in the situation.

Glanville claims her history on reality TV should speak for itself. She noted in her rant that she spent 13 years on TV and had never had a complaint filed against her. However, fans have pointed out that Glanville was known for being physically forward with other cast members during her time on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Still, Glanville maintains that she did not assault Manzo as the court documents suggest.

This is not the first time Glanville has spoken out about the incident. In March 2023, shortly after news of the incident surfaced, she took to X (formerly Twitter) to discuss what happened. She insisted that production told her to “bring the party.” Glanville said that she felt as if she had been “set up.”

Will the season ever actually air?

It doesn’t look like fans will ever get the chance to judge the situation with actual footage. While the season was filmed, it appears it will never see the light of day. While neither Peacock nor Bravo have commented on the lost season’s fate, several Bravo stars have offered their theories. According to The Daily Beast, Vicki Gunvalson and Camille Myers both believe the show will never hit the streaming service provider.

Peacock and Bravo are less certain about that. Still, if the season does air, it will probably be long after the lawsuit is settled. There is no timeline associated with the lawsuit, and it could take years for Bravo and Manzo to come to an agreement. In short, fans shouldn’t expect to see the season soon, if ever.

Which ‘Real Housewives’ Installment is the Oldest?

Andrea Francese — Sun, 02 Jun 2024 19:18:15 +0000

Bravo hit it big with its The Real Housewives franchise. It is the network’s most successful franchise, and the popularity of the shows doesn’t appear to be faltering. Fans remain just as invested in the lives of their favorite cast members today as they were when they first appeared on screen. Still, not all The Real Housewives series are created equally. Do you know which installment started it all?

Which installment of ‘The Real Housewives’ started it all?

There have been eleven different The Real Housewives series so far, and fans think more will eventually be coming. But do you know which one is the oldest? The show’s history began in 2006 with The Real Housewives of Orange County. The series premiered in March 2006 and featured Kimberly Bryant, Jo De La Rosa, Vicki Gunvalson, Jeana Keough, and Lauri Peterson.

Now heading into its 18th season, none of the original housewives remain as original cast members. Bryant gave up her part in the show after season 1. De La Rosa only appeared as a main cast member through season 2, and Peterson left after season 4. Keough left after season 5 but has cycled in and out as a friend and a guest ever since. Gunvalson was the longest-lasting original cast member. She appeared on the series from season 1 until season 13. She is expected to appear as a guest in the upcoming season.

The popularity of The Real Housewives of Orange County eventually led to the development of more installments. Following its success, Bravo developed The Real Housewives of New York City. The series premiered in 2007. Two new installments, The Real Housewives of New Jersey and The Real Housewives of Atlanta, premiered in 2008. The following year, the network premiered The Real Housewives of D.C., but the installment never gained traction. It was canceled after one season. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills was the next installment to air on Bravo. It premiered in 2010. Since then, several more installments have been developed with varying degrees of success.

Are there new installments in the works?

The Real Housewives of Dubai, set to premiere its second season on June 2, is the youngest installment in the franchise. Season 1 premiered in June 2022. The finale aired in September 2022. Season 2 adds one new cast member, Taleen Marie, and the loss of one member of the season 1 cast. Nina Ali stepped away from the series after appearing in the inaugural season.

While fans would love to see more installments of the beloved Real Housewives franchise, it does not appear that any new cities are being developed now. At one time, fans believed Bravo might be working on installments for Las Vegas, Scottsdale, and New Orleans. According to People, Andy Cohen put the rumors to rest when he insisted that the Bravo team was “good” at the moment.

‘RHOC’: Alexis Bellino Posts That She Misses John Janssen’s ‘Kiddos,’ Rubs in Shannon Beador’s Bad Relationship With Them

Lauren Weiler — Wed, 24 Jan 2024 20:52:45 +0000

Drama is heating up behind the scenes of The Real Housewives of Orange County. Alexis Bellino and John Janssen went public with their relationship at the end of 2023, and they’re still going strong into 2024. Recently, Bellino mentioned Janssen’s kids on Instagram — and she might’ve thrown serious shade toward Shannon Beador, Janssen’s ex. Here’s what happened.

‘RHOC’ star Alexis Bellino might’ve thrown shade with a post about John Janssen’s kids

The Real Housewives of Orange County star Alexis Bellino might’ve rubbed in that Shannon Beador had a poor relationship with John Janssen’s kids.

Bellino posted about her 47th birthday bash to Instagram on Monday, Jan. 22, 2024. She spent time at the Surf & Sand Resort in Laguna Beach, California. “Living a life forever young,” she captioned the post. “Thank you to all who made it amazingly special, especially my kiddos. Feeling loved, grateful, and blessed. Love you all!!!”

In addition to the post, she added more photos with captions on her Instagram Stories. “This man makes me know we can take this world on together,” she captioned a post that showed her and Janssen kissing, according to Page Six. “Haters … go away! You ain’t touching this PYT.”

Finally, Bellino added a photo of her and Janssen posing with her three kids with the caption, “The absolute fav part of my bday celebration (just missing J’s kiddos).” In a previous marriage, Bellino had James, 17, and twins Mackenna and Miles, 16.

Janssen has two kids, and Beador notoriously didn’t get along with them. Some fans think Bellino might’ve made a stab at Beador with her Instagram Stories.

Before Alexis Bellino and John Janssen dated, The Real Housewives of Orange County star Shannon Beador was in a relationship with Janssen. Beador got candid about her relationship with Janssen’s kids, which wasn’t good. In July 2023, Beador reportedly entered a screaming match with Janssen’s daughter.

A source told Page Six that Beador appeared “wasted” and “had to be held back and removed by security” following the upset. An “argument” allegedly occurred between multiple people, and “everyone was screaming at each other.” The group was then asked to leave, but the bar was also reportedly closing for the evening.

“Yes, there was an argument, but it was at the end of the night, the lights were up, and everyone was being asked to leave,” Janssen told Page Six regarding the situation.

Beador later opened up about the argument. “Unfortunately, I don’t have a positive relationship with John’s daughter as happens often in blended families,” she said on Watch What Happens Live, according to Page Six. “We had an argument. There was an argument.”

Beador denies any claim that security removed her. “The lights were up [and] they were saying, ‘Everybody wrap it up,’” she said. “I wasn’t kicked out, but I asked security to help me with my Uber.”

Shannon Beador said her relationship with John Janssen ended after ‘a lot of bickering’

So, what led to Shannon Beador and John Janssen’s breakup? The Real Housewives of Orange County star told Page Six that they bickered often in their relationship.

“It was just a lot of bickering,” Beador said. “There was no major [moment like], ‘Oh my God, you’ve got to walk away!’ It was just the bickering, bickering, bickering. And that’s not a way for anybody to live. We couldn’t get past it.”

Beador said in the past that she felt “hurt” by Janssen’s relationship with Bellino. “I’ve been hurt a lot in the last couple of weeks because, No. 1, John said that he didn’t want to be in the public eye, and he’s thrust himself more into the public eye at this point,” Beador told E! News in December 2023. “So, I’m quite confused about that.”

Megan Elliott — Sat, 06 Jan 2024 21:42:00 +0000

This will be a reunion to remember. The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 4 ended with multiple jaw-dropping reveals, including the shocking claim that new Housewife Monica Garcia was behind an Instagram account dedicated to trolling Jen Shah and other cast members. Plus, we finally found out who gave Heather Gay the black eye. What impact will those (and other revelations) have on the ladies of Salt Lake City? And will they be able to move past Monica’s epic betrayal? We’ll find out when the RHOSLC reunion airs on Bravo.

‘The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City’ Season 4 reunion begins Jan. 9

An uncensored, extended version of the episode will stream the next day on Peacock. Part II and Part III of the reunion will air at the same time on Jan. 16 and Jan. 23.

Bravo releases ‘RHOSLC’ teaser, reveals seating chart

After the shocking season 4 reunion, Bravo dropped a reunion teaser. As you might expect, things are tense as Andy Cohen quizzes the women – who haven’t been together as a group since the Bermuda trip — on everything that went down this season. That includes confronting Monica about the accusations that she’s behind the Reality Von Tease troll account. Monica seems unapologetic, channeling Regina George as she calmly holds up her Burn Book.

Andy also wants Heather to spill about the black eye she received back in season 3. She’s been cagey about exactly how the injury happened, but in the finale, Monica revealed that Jen Shah was responsible. Meredith Marks also shows off her impression of fellow cast member Whitney Rose.

“Is that how I sound?” Whitney wonders.

As for the RHOSLC reunion seating chart, first-year cast member Monica has snagged the coveted spot to Andy’s right, while Heather is on his left. Next to Monica are Meredith, followed by Whitney. Lisa Barlow sits next to Heather, followed by Angie Katsanevas and friend Mary Cosby.

Bravo has also released a synopsis for each reunion episode. Spoiler: We’re going to have to wait until Part III for Monica to address the Reality Von Tease drama and for Heather to spill about her black eye.

Reunion Part I: “The ladies reunite in New York to discuss the season’s highs and lows. New housewife Monica sets the record straight about her past – from her affair, history with the Mormon church and how she became an informant in her ex-friend’s criminal case. Angie confronts Monica and Meredith about the rumors regarding her husband and the Greek Mafia.”

Reunion Part II: “In Part II of the reunion, Monica breaks down while reflecting on her relationship with her mother. The rift between Angie and Monica grows as they disagree about the unseen events from Greek Easter. The group is joined by Mary, who comes to Monica’s defense and sheds light on where she currently stands with the rest of the women.”

Reunion Part III: “Tensions reach a boiling point in the conclusion of an intense reunion. Heather’s bombshell admission about her black eye forces Andy and the group to question her timing and past loyalty. Monica is in the hot seat once again as she defends her motivation for participating in a social media account.”

Dita Von Teese Wants Nothing to Do With ‘Real Housewives of Salt Lake City’ Drama

Megan Elliott — Fri, 05 Jan 2024 01:34:43 +0000

Dita Von Teese does not want to be involved in the latest Real Housewives drama. The model and burlesque star is making it clear that she has no association with the infamous Reality Von Tease Instagram account, which is dedicated to slamming former Real Housewives of Salt Lake City cast member Jen Shah.

Dita Von Teese wants her followers to report the Reality Von Tease Instagram account

The Reality Von Teese account doesn’t have a ton of followers. But it’s a big deal in the RHOSLC world. The troll account not only mocked Shah, who is currently serving time in prison for fraud, but also cast a critical eye on other cast members from the Bravo reality show. However, the true scandal had to do with who was running the account.

In the RHOSLC Season 4 finale, newbie cast member Monica Garcia was revealed to be one of the people behind the posts. The news stunned the other ladies on the show, who were hurt – and angry – over her betrayal.

The jaw-dropping reveal also brought the account to the attention of Von Teese herself. Reality Von Tease is a play on her stage name. The account also used a photo of Von Teese in its profile. She quickly called on people to report the account.

“Please report this page @realityvontease for using my photo for their profile,” Von Teese urged her followers on her Instagram Story. “Apparently it’s being used right now on @BravoTV as well.”

“No, I do not watch this show and this account is just using my photo,” she added in a follow-up post. “Please report.”

Von Teese, who has been dubbed the “Queen of Burlesque,” has posed for Playboy, appeared in music videos and episodes of America’s Next Top Model and RuPaul’s Drag Race, and performed around the world. From 2005 to 2007, she was married to Marilyn Manson.

In addition to earning the ire of Von Teese, the Reality Von Tease account stirred up major drama on RHOSLC.

For the past three years, Reality Von Tease had been “annihilating and exposing Jen Shah,” Heather Gay explained in a confessional interview in the season 4 finale. But the account also “expanded to troll all of us: me, Whitney [Rose], Meredith [Marks], Lisa [Barlow]. These were character assassinations. We never knew who it was.”

Then, during a trip to Bermuda to celebrate Monica’s birthday, Heather received a call confirming Reality Von Tease’s identity. She wasted no time in sharing the shocking news with the other ladies.

“Monica is not who she says she is,” Heather said. “She’s not our friend. She’s someone that has schemed and worked to infiltrate our friend group. And the name that you all know her as, the woman whose birthday was celebrated, who we’ve been trying to champion and support and defend is Reality Von Tease.”

Heather confronted Monica at dinner with the rest of the cast. She slammed the other woman as a “f*cking bully” who does “not deserve to be at this table or anywhere near any of us for the way you’ve treated us!”

At first, Monica denied having anything to do with the troll account. But she later fessed up, though she claimed she was just one of several people involved.

“Von Tease was never just one person,” she said in a confessional. “It wasn’t just me. There were several other humans involved, but bottom line, our mission was to take down Jen. The other women were just collateral damage.”

“I knew that this information would come out,” she added. “Even Gossip Girl couldn’t stay Gossip Girl forever.”

Meghan Markle Could Actually End up Making a ‘Real Housewives’ Appearance Someday — This Is How

Mandi Kerr — Sun, 26 Nov 2023 14:35:00 +0000

Meghan Markle dismissed the idea of ever appearing on the Real Housewives franchise on her defunct Archetypes podcast. However, a commentator says it’s not entirely out of the question. While they admit it may be “unlikely” for the Duchess of Sussex, it’s not impossible. Were certain circumstances to align, Meghan could end up on an episode.

Meghan told Andy Cohen there will be ‘no reality show’ during a ‘Real Housewives’ discussion

In the final episode of her Archetypes podcast, Meghan spoke with Andy Cohen, executive producer for Real Housewives. They touched on her love for the franchise in the past, being unsuccessful at booking a guest spot on Watch What Happens Live during her days on Suits, and a rumor about joining Real Housewives.

Specifically, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills after she and Prince Harry moved to California in 2020. “I never heard that!” Meghan said of the rumor, to which Andy replied, “She has a full plate! She’s Meghan Markle! Have you never heard that? Good. I never even tried to stoke the fire because I was like, ‘Folks, that’s not happening.’”

“You mean that this is my audition for Real Housewives of Montecito? Is this the moment?” Meghan jokingly asked. Andy assured the now-42-year-old she wouldn’t have to audition. Rather, they’d build a show around her.

“There will be no reality show,” Meghan later told listeners. “But I think it’s so funny. No, I never heard that. I never heard about the Beverly Hills of it all.”

Meghan may someday appear on ‘Real Housewives’ as a guest spending time with a celebrity friend

Publicist and celebrity expert Mayah Riaz isn’t ruling out the possibility of Meghan appearing on Real Housewives for good. “The likelihood of Meghan appearing on a Real Housewives show as a cast member [is] unlikely,” she told Mirror. “While she may have expressed interest in the past, her remark about no longer craving other people’s drama suggests that she may not consider it a priority.”

Given Meghan’s “current status and commitments,” joining a reality TV show may not be high on her to-do list. Although, there may come a day when Meghan makes a one-off appearance on the show.

“Meghan has high-profile celebrity friends,” Riaz said. “If one of them were cast members, it’s possible she may make a one-off guest appearance. But it’d likely be drama-free and perhaps a scene where she is catching up with the cast member over lunch.”

A potential ‘Real Housewives’ appearance could be good and bad for Meghan Markle

“On one hand, it could make her appear more relatable and approachable to a wider audience, humanizing her public image,” the commentator said of Real Housewives potential impact on Meghan’s “brand.”

“However, it may also be perceived as a departure from her previous roles and responsibilities, potentially diminishing her credibility and the perception of her elite status,” Riaz went on. “Ultimately, it would depend on how she navigates the platform and the narrative she chooses to present.”

Additionally, Meghan may even prove “too famous” for the show. “Meghan’s level of fame and her established brand may make it less likely for her to participate in a reality TV show like Real Housewives,” the commentator said. “She would be likely to prioritize other opportunities that align more closely with her current interests and goals.”

“I don’t think reality TV is on the cards for her, even if her career was to face struggles in the future,” she added before concluding it “could provide Meghan with a platform to showcase her activism and philanthropy.”

‘RHOBH’ Star Sutton Stracke Gets an Absurd Amount of Spousal Support Each Month — Inside Bravo’s Shady Reveal

Perry Carpenter — Wed, 08 Nov 2023 23:52:00 +0000

Sutton Stracke’s lifestyle, bolstered by a staggering amount of spousal support, has become a focal point on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Her financial backdrop, as disclosed on the show, has intrigued viewers with its grand scale.

Yet, when probed on camera about the origins of her wealth, Sutton’s reluctance to dive into details added a layer of mystery. This hesitancy adds an air of intrigue to her already compelling narrative on the hit Bravo series.

Sutton Stracke opens up about her financial situation

Sutton, known from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, has a significant monthly income coming in from her former spouse, Christian. In the latest season’s opening episode, Sutton was somewhat forced to talk about her finances after Bravo shared a screenshot of her spousal support.

She clarified that they both started off on an even financial footing. However, once they had their first child and she stepped back from her career, things changed.

The reality star felt her independence wane as she became reliant on the money he provided, which she termed an ‘allowance.’ She vowed never to be in such a position again.

Reflecting on the concept of receiving spousal support, Sutton acknowledged the financial security it offers, likening it to a weighty anchor. While she has no plans to relinquish this financial support, she admitted to grappling with the sense of obligation that accompanies it.

“My power diminished. This became ‘here’s your allowance,’” Sutton shared. “I will never allow that to happen again.”

The ‘RHOBH’ star gets a crazy amount of spousal support every month

Sutton and Christian tied the knot in May 2000 in New York but parted ways when Christian initiated divorce proceedings on Sept. 22, 2016. He filed just two days after Sutton’s birthday.

They found themselves at odds over the exact date they ceased being a couple, with Christian marking it as May 31 of that year. Sutton insisted it was later.

Under their agreement, Christian consented to a substantial spousal support arrangement. He is providing Sutton with a whopping $300,000 each month for the duration of her life.

Additionally, he is responsible for contributing $50,000 monthly for child support. The parents maintain joint physical and legal custody of their three children and have established a $3 million trust fund for them, which Christian will continue to augment.

While Sutton is clearly set up nicely with spousal support, she was very hesitant to discuss it in front of the cameras when she first joined the show.

Sutton Stracke had previously refused to talk about her finances on ‘RHOBH’

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Garcelle Beauvais wasn’t afraid to talk finances with Sutton during her first season. But Sutton was caught off guard by her questions regarding how she made her money.

As they indulged in a lavish dinner, Garcelle cited her own experience as a single mom unable to afford the luxury of personal stylists.

Raised to consider money a private matter Sutton looked uncomfortable as Garcelle couldn’t contain her curiosity. She pressed Sutton, inquiring bluntly about the source of her wealth—was it inheritance, marriage, or family fortune?

Sutton, caught off guard but setting aside her southern decorum, admitted that her financial comfort was courtesy of her successful former husband.

“No. I got married. My ex-husband — he did well,” Sutton stated.

But Sutton refused to say anything beyond that, leaving fans wondering about her financial situation. But, now they no longer have to wonder.

New episodes of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills air Wednesday nights on Bravo.

5 Reasons It’s Time For Shannon Beador’s ‘RHOC’ Exit

Perry Carpenter — Thu, 12 Oct 2023 00:03:00 +0000

Shannon Beador, a staple on Real Housewives of Orange County, is facing growing calls for her exit. Her behavior and personal struggles have pushed both fans and co-stars to question her place on the show.

While reality TV thrives on drama, Shannon’s antics and life challenges have seemingly pushed beyond the limits of entertainment. As fans look forward to season 18, here are five reasons it’s time for Shannon to give up her orange.

Viewers have had enough of Shannon Beador’s behavior

Fans of the Real Housewives of Orange County have gone to the extent of sharing their exhaustion with Shannon’s drama on Reddit. Several threads have emerged, voicing a collective sentiment: it’s time for a break from Shannon.

Particularly, fans are requesting that the show address her evident alcohol concerns. As for Tamra, the audience seems to find her equally grating and views her as a conduit to more Vickie drama.

“That’s it. That’s the post,” one Reddit user wrote under a post about putting Shannon on “pause.”

“PS she’s god awful. And get rid of Tamra too,” the post stated.

The post received overwhelming support, with some commenters saying that drinking has become a huge issue for Shannon. And they aren’t wrong.

The ‘RHOC’ star’s presence is disturbing the group’s dynamic

Following season 17 of RHOC, it’s abundantly clear that Shannon’s constant complaints, whining, and continued drinking have become more than just a buzzkill; they’re irritating.

Unlike other cast members discussing real issues, Shannon continually dwells on her past marital woes. Her ongoing woe-is-me persona has gotten so unbearable that it’s making the rest of the cast noticeably uneasy.

With season 18 on the horizon, fans posted on Reddit about Shannon’s future on the show. Many hope she takes a hiatus to give the other cast members some much-needed respite from her overwhelming negativity.

“I’m really hoping she at least gets put on pause for season 18 just so the other ladies don’t have to walk on eggshells around her for an entire season again,” the user wrote.

Shannon Beador isn’t sharing all aspects of her personal life

Shannon was in hot water during a notably intense episode of Real Housewives of Orange County. The situation escalated when co-star Tamra Judge began probing Shannon about her friendship with Heather Dubrow and potentially leaking sensitive topics.

Shannon decided she’d had enough, removed her microphone, and told the producers that airing such discussions could ruin her relationship with her then-boyfriend, John Janssen.

“Wow… I’m done,” Shannon stated. “This is gonna destroy everything. We’re done. My relationship is over if this is on the air.”

Tamra caught up with her, confirming Shannon’s fears. Vicki Gunvalson, left at the table, humorously commented on the unfolding drama. The episode left viewers questioning the impact of Shannon’s reality TV life on her relationships.

The ‘RHOC’ star is losing her credibility

In an RHOC episode, Gina Kirschenheiter called Shannon’s credibility and mental state into question.

During a frank, on-camera confession, Gina criticized Shannon for not remembering a damaging statement she made about Gina’s family being nearly taken by Child Protective Services back in 2019.

“Shannon says s**t, and then she wants to pretend that she didn’t do it, and if you can say things that are that f**king hurtful and not even remember you said it, you need to go f**king check yourself into rehab,” Gina said.

The intense argument transpired after Shannon had initially told Jennifer Pedranti that she helped prevent Gina’s kids from being taken by authorities. Shannon later fervently denied the comments.

Flashbacks, however, showed Shannon making the exact allegations she later rejected. Amidst these accusations and denials, the episode raises doubts about Shannon’s ability to remember facts or speak truthfully.

Amid legal troubles, the reality star’s mental state draws concern from her co-stars

RHOC fans aren’t the only ones who have expressed concerns about Shannon’s behavior.

During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Heather Dubrow said that she hopes Shannon self-reflects after her recent DUI arrest.

“I hope Shannon continues to take some space and figure out her next steps,” Heather stated.

Shannon had earlier been arrested for a hit-and-run and DUI, which led to her car ending up on someone’s private property. According to Us Magazine, her lawyer, Michael Fell, stated she’s remorseful and prepared for the legal repercussions.

Shannon’s friend, Jeff Lewis, also noted that she plans to enter counseling soon.

‘RHONY’ Reboot: Sai De Silva Isn’t Opening Up About How She Met Her Husband

The secrecy around Real Housewives of New York star Sai De Silva and her husband has quickly captured attention, though not always favorably. Her recent conflicts with crowd-favorite Jessel Taank have turned the spotlight on her, and curiosity about her marriage has fueled the fire.

While Sai openly discusses her family and children, she’s noticeably tight-lipped about her relationship with her husband, David Craig. This conspicuous silence around her marital origins has fans and critics alike buzzing with speculation.

Who is Sai De Silva’s husband, David Craig?

On the Real Housewives of New York reboot, Sai De Silva quickly earned a reputation as one of the show’s new antagonists. The social media influencer has piqued fans’ interest, especially regarding her marriage to husband David Craig.

Sai De Silva and David Craig married on June 16, 2009. Craig is retired and spends time running the family’s household in Brooklyn, New York. In a blog post, Sai wrote Craig “likes his privacy. In a world where we share everything, it’s nice to have something that is private in my life.”

Sai has made a point to obscure her husband in social media posts. A 2020 vlog covered Craig’s face during a sitdown question and answer session. And in January 2023, an Instagram post gave fans just a passing glance at Craig’s profile.

However, Real Housewives of New York viewers did get to see Craig during season 14, episode 12. He accompanied Sai on a double date with Erin Lichy and her husband. Still, there hasn’t been much offered in the way of how Sai and David Craig met.

Sai De Silva does open up about her children

Sai has kept tight-lipped about about her spouse, especially during her rookie season on RHONY.

In stark contrast, she’s unreserved about her kids, London and Rio. This Brooklyn-based mom provides for her children and brings them into her creative world.

Both kids were introduced to Bravo audiences in the inaugural episode of RHONY’s 14th season, and Sai frequently showcases them on her style-centric blog and on her Instagram, @scoutthecity.

After marrying David, Sai welcomed London in September 2011. Post-motherhood, she ignited her career by launching her blog, Scout in the City.

Although she didn’t set out to become a blogger, her popular content with London gave her recognition.

Her younger child, Rio, born in April 2017, has become the family’s little comedian. In August 2023, Sai shared a poignant moment about Rio’s growth, capturing her mixed emotions on Instagram Stories.

New episodes of the RHONY reboot air Sunday nights on Bravo.
