Summary

In this episode of TSFS, I’m joined by David Yontef from Behind the Velvet Rope to dive into the latest headlines, starting with an update in the Joe Duggar story and the Caldwells’ GoFundMe, including Paul Caldwell’s statement clarifying that none of the funds will help anyone who would harm children and explaining their sudden housing, employment, relocation, and counseling needs amid rumors they reported Joe. Then we jump into Bravo tea, from reactions to Emily Simpson’s dramatic transformation and debate over GLP-1s, to Morgan Wade launching the “Not Okay” podcast and her role in a Yellowstone spin-off despite claims she wanted privacy. We also discuss Melissa Gorga saying she’d like Danielle Staub back for RHONJ, Gizelle Bryant’s photo with Angelina Jolie, and my theory that the Summer House reunion audio “leak” was staged. We close with a plug for our upcoming live show.
