When the cloffice becomes the People's People's Court. Sarah and TIP guest co-host Tom Smyth (writer and Bravoholic) sit down to record a Taking it Personally about The Traitors, when news breaks about Karen Huger's shock sentencing. This ep is one for the books. They react to the news which was announced moments before pressing record, discuss Karen's journey (and potential future) on the show, the judge's decision, whether the show would go on pause while she's in camp, and what a future of RHOP might look like without Karen. It's a grand dame for the grande dame - and it's Andy's Girls, Episode 644!

Highlighted Organizations Supporting Civilians in Israel and Gaza:
Women Wage Peace: Women Wage Peace is the largest grassroots peace movement in Israel whose purpose is to promote a political agreement, involving women in the process. Today the movement has more than 44,000 members. https://www.womenwagepeace.org.il/en/
NewGround: a Muslim-Jewish Partnership for Change: NewGround envisions an America where Muslims and Jews and others, both secular and religious, model lasting partnerships and engagement in authentic communication and mutual cooperation. The organization empowers Muslims, Jews and allies to bridge divisions and leverage shared values to strengthen our communities and our fragile democracy. https://mjnewground.org/
Standing Together: Standing Together  is a progressive grassroots movement mobilizing Jewish and Palestinian citizens of Israel against the occupation and for peace, equality, and social justice. We know that the majority have far more in common than that which sets us apart and only a tiny minority benefits from the status quo. The future that we want — peace and independence for Israelis and Palestinians, full equality for everyone in this land, and true social, economic, and environmental justice — is possible. To achieve this future, we must stand together as a united front: Jewish and Palestinian, secular and religious, Mizrahi and Ashkenazi, rural and urban, and people of all genders and sexual orientations. As the largest Jewish-Arab grassroots movement in Israel, we are committed to creating an alternative to our existing reality and building the political strength to make this transformation possible. https://www.standing-together.org/en
Solutions Not Sides: Solutions Not Sides has been teaching skills of empathy, active listening, communication, critical thinking and conflict resolution through exploration of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict since 2010. Our programme is based on three key values: non-violence, equality for all, and the rejection of hatred.https://solutionsnotsides.co.uk/
Palestine Children's Relief Fund (PCRF): PCRF is the primary humanitarian organization in Palestine, delivering crucial and life-saving medical relief and humanitarian aid where it is needed most. Access to essential resources like food, clean water, and healthcare is severely limited. Urgent action is needed. With your support, we can continue this vital work, ensuring that the over one million children of Gaza receive the urgent care they need and deserve. https://www.pcrf.net/

0:00.0 | I'm |
0:02.0 | Bhopal Oh, clankety clank, you guys, it's taking it personally. |
0:36.3 | Listen, this is going to be a tagline free episode because we were going to focus on a peacock show, technically not a Bravo show. But we have some Bravo news breaking 30 seconds before we press record. I can you tell in like hyper? My blood pressure is increasing, which is actually a good thing for me. |
0:55.7 | I have historically very low blood pressure. |
0:57.5 | So this is not a bad thing for me. |
0:58.6 | But terrible news for Karen Hugar and her family. |
1:01.4 | Anyway, episode and literally just texted one of my little texty threads with friends. |
1:09.5 | Hashtag Karen Watch. |
1:12.7 | I meant to follow it up by saying, |
1:20.3 | please let me know I'm about to record about traders if news breaks. And then at the exact moment, |
1:26.2 | Gibson John's texts our thread and says sentence to a year in prison. And I said, Tom Smith, |
1:29.8 | Smyth, grab your fucking microphone. We're about to respond. |
1:48.8 | So you guys, it's taking it personally, but also it's Andy's Scrolls. It's a fun fusion. So excited to have a return guest, one of my favorite people, Bravo Holic writer, whose credits include Vogue, Vulture, the Cut, and the LA Times, among others, Tom Smyth, also known as Tom Smith-Smith, welcome back to the Clawfuss. |
1:56.3 | Thank you so much for having me here on this historic day. A scream was let out in the Clawfis moments ago when news broke. I literally like shriek yelled and said no. then you said what and i couldn't respond we this |
2:03.5 | literally broke 30 seconds ago it's there's a lot to say i honestly thought to myself maybe i'll do |
2:12.1 | like a breaking news e g once we find out whatever is going to happen but i I have to say, you know, and I'll reference |
2:19.7 | some articles. People are like publishing stuff because this literally just happened, literally |
2:23.1 | just happened. But I do have to say, I believe, according to the last, and we're recording |
2:28.1 | this Wednesday morning, last thing that I had read was like prosecutors recommending six months, time served. The fact that she got a two-year |
2:37.5 | sentence, one year suspended, meaning she will serve a year, is more than what the prosecutors |
2:42.8 | thought they would get. And probably, I would certainly assume, a lot more than Karen expected. You have to think at this point, |
2:53.6 | she is really regretting the decision to stand trial. Oh, for sure. I mean, that I think |
