Summary
I recap Carl Radke’s Barnes & Noble event in Clifton, NJ — five years sober, brutally honest about friendships, Summer House tea (Paige leaving, Amanda & Kyle “going through it”), DWTS dreams, and why sobriety reveals who actually liked you.
From there, we dive into Southern Charm and Austen Kroll’s wildly uncomfortable Viall Files appearance, failing-upward behavior, and podcast hosts who should ask fewer questions.
We hit RHOSLC chaos — Monica Garcia stirring the pot, stomach-pump rumors, pills, hypocrisy, drug tests, and a reunion that’s already delivering (full recap coming with a guest once it wraps).
Plus: Andy Cohen gets honored by NYC with a literal trash can, his growing disdain for Bethenny, TikTok oversharing, and the Reality Reckoning fallout.
Quick stops across the Bravo-verse:
RHOC (Gina’s engagement + glow-up, Katie Ginella exits),
RHOA (Kim Zolciak’s tax mess, Kandi vs. Todd custody drama),
RHOBH (Kyle Richards buying a $6.5M Tennessee home),
and a wholesome check-in on Alex McCord thriving in Japan.
