Cocktails and Gossip

More on the Beverly Hills demotion plus Erika's cases. Atlanta - what is Drew hiding? Is Porsha showing restraint? This episode of The Valley was...intense. Jax and Brittany's fight - can Jax come out of this? Jesse and Michelle's coparenting. We think they just like fighting with each other and are both being awful. And we have some exclusive Valley tea you won't want to miss. Schwartz is having a bit of a moment right now. Will Kyle ever stop his partying ways? His recent behavior at Coachella is making us wonder.    This week's episode of Cocktails and Gossip is brought to you by our sponsor, Caraway.

The Valley is back and there's so much to discuss. Cocktailers will see the Jax and Brittany tea we've been talking about play out right in front of us. Same with the Michelle and Jesse post-separation/divorce situation. Janet tries to make peace with Kristen, and we're right there with Kristen that we could see right through her "apology". We go on a tangent about couples - is it possible to have one spouse be awful and the other to be a legitimately nice person? The Atlanta aftermath is heavy. And did Porsha really, truly, believe that Simon was 100% legit? Last but not least, our post went viral and Bethenny Frankel had something to say about it.  This Mother's Day, consider Nutrafol - the best-selling hair growth supplement.

Tasha from @thepopastrologist is here! The astrological weather has been "interesting" and why Tasha thinks we could be hearing some headlines this weekend as a result of the full moon. What does the astrology look like for the future of Bravo and Housewives? Why were Kenya and Britt a bad sitch from the beginning? What astrologically, do Teresa Giudice and Angela Oakley have in common (besides the obvious financial challenges)? We can't get enough of Tasha's takes.

Spencer is an open book and spills some amazing never before heard tea, you won't want to miss. We also get to learn more about his new reality competition show streaming on Hulu on April 11th called, GOT TO GET OUT. How has life been after the fires?

There's allegedly more to the story about Luis's tax liens. Garcelle quit Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, we'll tell you what we've been hearing. And what does that mean for the rest of the cast next season? Our Traitors news has been widely shared- we'll recap it for you. On Summer House, Craig and Kyle finally talked and it feels...anticlimactic and forced. Then there's the weird threesome/foursome scene.

We end with some breaking news that Luis Ruelas has been hit with a $2.5 million tax lien by the state of New Jersey. But we start with the trailer everyone's talking about - Vanderpump Villa, featuring the MomTok ladies. We have some exclusive and very juicy tea about one of the women (and it's not Demi) being seen with Marciano from VV in public doing...well, you have to listen to find out. Are the rest of the Summer House piling on to Craig, or did they feel this way about him the whole time he was in a relationship with Paige? And, on Beverly Hills, we can't have nice things if nice things are peaceful boat outings.

What went down in New Orleans with the Real Housewives of Orange County cast trip? Is Tamra really leaving Housewives? Atlanta is back and we're seated. Porsha is back and shares a little about why she filed for divorce from Simon Guobadia. Shamea, her ride or die, now has a peach and we think she's going to have a breakout season. The new cast members are spicy and have a lot going on...and is Drew getting too close for comfort with Dennis, Porsha's ex-husband and father of their daughter? The Valley trailer dropped and it's looking just as chaotic as we expected given the behind the scenes tea that we've been sharing. Summer House's Danielle: Is she just a mean girl?   If you haven't joined Cocktail Party, now is the time!

A what we're watching tangent turns into another tangent about why neither of us watches much true crime. Jax admits  he has a cocaine problem and says he is 83 days sober...we cover this and Brittany's response. Can we all agree to stop asking people who are in toxic marriages why they didn't leave sooner? Paige and Kyle finally go head to head. We've got lots of thoughts on this, but ultimately, can someone really explain why Kyle is mad at Paige? Kathy Hilton's brand of shade is one of the best. Was the fashion show scene a bit on Kathy's part? We think so. Did we love it anyway? Yes. We have an interesting theory on what is really going on with Kyle and Mauricio. The Shahs mess is getting messier. We break the whole situation with Gigi and Paulina down and explain who all of the other folks involved are.

B is back from Argentina! Amanda gets schooled on why Dylan Efron has "Down to Earth" under his name (it's not because he is down to earth like she thought, lol). Offscreen, Karen Huger was sentenced to one year in prison, five years probation plus fines, and immediately was taken into custody. What happened in the courtroom? We have a first-person account from a Cocktailer. Southern Hospitality - if you're not watching it, start now. Is Shep's sad one-sided relationship just a "redemption arc" storyline? On Summer House, the boys had to dunk into a tank full of weiners and B doesn't want to talk about it. And what's up with Jesse and Lexi's whirlwind romance?

Transcribed - Published: 1 March 2025

B is out of town on vacation this week - so, in her place, we have two guests. First off, Amanda interviews Becky Minkoff. Becky was forthright and honest, and answers all the questions...and yes, we we went there and discussed the situation with the influencer and the unpaid bills. What was really going on with Erin at the reunion? Hint: It had to do with THE PRANK. What did Becky love/dislike about Housewives? If she ever considered going back, which castmates would she want (and not want) to be there. Don't miss out - we have a feeling you might see her a little differently after you hear this interview. And, we round out the pod with a little tea with Tracy about what our inside sources are telling us about RHONJ, and Amanda puts her on the spot about what is really going on with TJ and Stacy.    Get Becky's book, Fearless and listen to her podcast, Superwomen with Rebecca Minkoff.    This week's Cocktails and Gossip podcast is brought to you by Quince.

We reveal our Superbowl must haves. All Superbowl roads lead to Bravo. Is Summer House vs. Southern Charm becoming the new East Coast vs. West Coast beef? Carl's podcast interview - a class act. And here's what we know about the rumors about Lindsay Hubbard and her boyfriend breaking up...What's the big Bravo news coming out this week? We have theories. RHOC exclusive - you're going to want to read this on Cocktail Party. And does anyone else play the game Amanda does, Sugar Daddy or Actual Daddy? B feels victimized...Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, bravo again. We laughed, we cried, we psychoanalyzed.   This week's episode of Cocktails and Gossip is brought to you by Nutrafol.

B got cut off in Nashville. But not the way you might think, lol. We had some interesting DMs and Cocktailer messages from an alleged ex-boyfriend of Molly from Southern Charm...and the drama ensued from there. And we have an exclusive - what show just had a "cameras back up" moment? Salt Lake City Reunion - does Bronwyn have an interesting relationship with the truth? Why did we all take a whole new stance on Mary this season? In one word, vulnerability. Real Housewives of Beverly Hills continues to have us seated. Even with Boz's boyfriend's questionable fashion choices. And, we say goodbye to RHONYC along with some of the cast - we've got tea about that.    Don't miss out on the tea!

Larry from @BravobyGays is here! We get right into talking about Paige DeSorbo being spotted at the Eagles game. We've got some info on the mystery man. Everyone's doing a double take on Kyle now that we saw on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills that she is not just texting PK but telling him she won't repeat what he tells her. Was this a straight up lie or a strategic bending of the truth? : Is everyone doing a double take about Kyle? Did she lie or just bend the truth? Traitors and other reality TV: what else we're watching and what we think of Traitors so far. We then go into a bit of a side mission about Spencer and Heidi Pratt, the Los Angeles Fires, and how to prevent them in the future.    This week's episode of Cocktails and Gossip is brought to you by our sponsor, Quince.

Craig and Paige broke up. Here's what we know. And we got a little blowback on our "coverage" of this topic so far - what do you all think? Southern Hospitality, season 3 premiered and we're here for it. This leads into a conversation about whether there's honor among reality tv stars. Jennifer Aydin publicly posts a rant about her experience at a sandwich shop in the airport.

Is the Brownstone of Real Housewives of New Jersey allegedly facing financial woes? 3. Crystal Minkoff allegedly has an "anonymous" Reddit - is she using it to promote her podcast? There's a lot to unpack with Southern Charm. Who's lying, Craig or JT? Is Paige getting a weird edit?

Note: we recorded on Tuesday November 26. We woke up to news that some found shocking. That Vanderpump Rules would be continuing on, but without its original cast. There will be a whole new cast of SUR-vers who actually do work at Sur. The fallout continues, but we've got tea on how the original cast is actually feeling. With VPR and RHONY before it completely cleaning house with their casts, is this part of a new trend for Bravo? Congratulations to Kristen Doute on her pregnancy! RHOC sent cameras back up to get the ladies' reactions to some news that Heather and Tamra had been holding on to. Why was this information revealed in this way? We've got theories. We've got some exclusive tea on RHONJ...and a juicy blind about a housewife trying to get editorial control.

Michelle Dempsey-Multack is back on the pod to talk about all of the chaotic Bravo divorce situations, starting with Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave. Dubai is on pause - good reminder for all of us Bravo fans to be careful what we call boring. Michelle, a Miami resident, shares a story about meeting Nicole from RHOM and bumping in to Alexia frequently. And we talk about the Martha Stewart documentary. Martha's a baddie. We go on a bit of a tangent about the word "narcissist" - what it actually means, and why it's overused. Last but not least, while we're enjoying Real Housewives of New York City, we've got a real issue with pregnancy pranks.

There's a lot to unpack, including a lot of exclusive tea about what has been going on behind closed doors, plus some theories on the odd timing of the filing coming a week after their PDA-filled appearance at an event. Why is Teddi getting so much hate during such a terrible time? And why, if they are such great friends, are we hearing that Tamra is allegedly spilling Teddi's private business to people in a very public way?

Is anyone else decorating for the holidays yet? Whitney Rose's new company is an MLM and there's allegedly been some shady business about their conference. Plus, Amanda's story about when she thought she was being asked out on a date...but it was actually an MLM lunch. Traitors season 4 is currently casting - and we have news on when season 3 will air. Growing up in the 90s in Beverly Hills was wild. RHOC continues to be full of fighting and betrayal. Were Tamra and Shannon ever actually friends? Or was it an alliance the whole time? The Southern Charm trailer is out and the season looks juicy. Craig grew up in Never Neverland, and Austen is salty about it. JT gives us the ick. We have an update for you on the Naomie Olindo case.

And we are noticing some interesting changes in Jenna Lyons this season. And we've got theories about Ubah and Sai's beef with Brynn. In RHONJ OG news, Dina Manzo's ex was convicted and sentenced for hiring a man to assault her husband. And in uncharacteristic fashion, both Dina and her daughter Lexi have made public statements. It's heartbreaking. Not sure how it's possible how we got tea that's 10+ years old and STILL entertaining, but we got some on Danielle from RHONJ, lol. Lots of buzz around Vanderpump Rules.

First, our thoughts and love go to those affected by Hurricanes Helene and Milton. The tea on the Valley keeps coming, and we seemingly have an unpopular opinion about it. Is Vanderpump Rules filming being held up by egos? Speaking of VPR, there's a tie to Momtok and Scheana's talking to anyone and everyone about it. Potomac is back. Mia comes in hot with the daddy drama. Karen takes no accountability for her DUI - despite the fact that she is charged with 8 different counts and will be facing a trial. The new housewives are promising. On RHONY, of course we've got to talk about Abe and Erin's marital issues. Is financial betrayal worse/as bad as cheating? B's got opinions about Brynn, and why won't Becky Minkoff talk about her religion?    This week's episode of Cocktails and Gossip is brought to you by our sponsors:  -Tushy: Give yourself a little self care moment every day with a TUSHY bidet.

So much going on in the Bravoverse this week. And we have some news that we share at the beginning of the pod. In Momtok news, we have some exclusive tea about one of the Mormon Wives allegedly cheating (publicly) on her husband. And that's not all, sounds like she's had quite a bit of drama in her personal life for years - we get into it. Salt Lake City is off to a fantastic start. Battles are already being had, one liners are being served. Michelle from the Valley just committed one of Amanda's pet peeves.

Sean Combs, aka P. Diddy was arrested this week. Lots of shocking details in the 13 page indictment, plus we have some insight from someone who knows how the Southern District of New York operates. Real Housewives of Orange County newbie Katie - what do we think about her? Stassi is on the comeup and is throwing some shade (which we love) along the way. Real Housewives of Dubai is over - will it be back? We discuss whether Lesa controlling Ayan is a common theme in women's friendships - or just a housewife status play. And B reveals she got a not-so-nice DM from a Dubai housewife.   This week's episode of Cocktails and Gossip is brought to you by our sponsors.

We have missed Larry @BravobyGays and we are so happy to have him join our chaos. We have a lot to say about Hulu's The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. It involves all of our favorite things to talk about - sex, religion, cheating, backstabbing, drama. We need season 2! In Bravo news, Dr. Nicole and the "will she/won't she" return conversation has us all on the edge of our seats. B has some great insight on what might be motivating her hesitance to return. And will we be seeing Nene on our screens again?    This week's episode of Cocktails and Gossip is brought to you by our sponsors, Lolavie and Nutrafol.

Amanda's dog is a jerk. The Mistress in Miami seems to find herself single again. Shocking. We have some exclusive Real Housewives of Miami tea about who may or may not be continuing on the show and who may or may not have been demoted. And where is Alexia's head in her on again, off again relationship with Todd? We can't stop watching Tamra's face peel off on social - it's must see viewing each day. And Vicki really went in after Tamra - we think they're both going way too low and they both need to stop. Oh, the Valley, the gift that never seems to stop giving us drama. We've got more exclusive tea this week about Brittany and separately about a new person filming this season who has ties to Michelle and her boyfriend...love triangle??? And did Jesse and Lexi from Summer House continue their romance now that summer is over?   This episode of Cocktails and Gossip is brought to you by our sponsors:  -TUSHY: Over 2 Million Butts Love TUSHY.

So much happening in the Bravoverse this week, we barely knew where to start. First, well wishes to Vicki from RHOC who is recovering from a near death illness. Alexis Bellino is engaged to Jimmy J, and we wish them well. But will Alexis' divorce settlement prevent her from actually marrying Johnny Aioli? Tamra is getting a lot of heat for her treatment of Shannon. Vanderpump Rules' future is being questioned - will there be another season? We have some exclusive info on this from a source. And in other VPR news, Brittany filed for divorce - and for full custody, which tells us there's more to the story. And we have some info on what may have led to Jax going into rehab. Plus a theory on why Brittany finally filed.  And we have SO MUCH tea on what's actually happening with the whole cast of The Valley and why they're divided, plus who's on which side. So much drama and mess and we are here for it.   This week's episode is sponsored by Nutrafol. Find out why over 4,500 healthcare professionals and stylists recommend Nutrafol for healthier hair.

Jenn Fessler joins us this week - she is authentic, real, and answers the hard questions. We got a preview of her new song. She reveals something surprising - there is a surprising piece of information that all of the RHONJ housewives knew going into filming and throughout filming the season. Jenn's favorite and least favorite parts of being a housewife, plus where she stands with each of the women. And, best of all, she shares a little preview of her new song.

We kick off with a back to school tangent. And of course, we talk Real Housewives of New Jersey and the non-reunion as we're calling it. Is it the end of the show as we know it? Another tangent - the meanness of some of the fan accounts is just a line too far. Is Teresa spiraling after seeing bad fan reactions to her saying that she didn't care about what Louie said about Marge and her son suffering? We have a theory about why Johhnie Aioli might actually be suing Shannon. And the RHONY trailer is out and we have some insight into some of the eyebrow-raising clips...   This week's episode of Cocktails and Gossip is brought to you by our sponsors, Jenni Kayne, Lolavie and Nutrafol.    - Jenni Kayne: Find your forever pieces @jennikayne and get 15% off with promo code GOSSIP15 at jennikayne.com/GOSSIP15! #jennikaynepartner - Lolavie: Get 15% off LolaVie with code GOSSIP at https://www.lolavie.com/GOSSIP! #lolaviepod - Nutrafol: Get $10 off your first month’s subscription and free shipping when you go to Nutrafol.com and enter the promo code GOSSIP.

Is RHONJ coming back? We share the latest tea. We go deep on the season (or is it series?) finale of Real Housewives of New Jersey. Who's lying? Dolores or Marge? B has a theory about a scene being filmed later than portrayed. Our unpopular opinion on Jen Fessler peacing out on lunch. There were some great one-liners this episode. And, B's tangent - We need plumbers!

Amanda shares a little about her week getting married and about her "oops" that may force cosmetic surgery a little sooner than she thought. Real Housewives of New Jersey has everyone up in arms, and even Andy's commenting about the show's future on his radio show. Get out your tiny violins, Cocktailers, we discuss "Teresa's Big Announcement" and we have thoughts about what Teresa might actually be stressed and upset about. Could it be that maybe everyone is right? Maybe both the ex and Luis are toxic? And we were fully entertained by Marge's shady flowers...we fully expect that card to be on display in Andy's clubhouse. We both enjoyed this week's episode of OC...and give Gina props for choosing her children, even if we don't believe that's the full reason Travis is moving out. Alexis' Johnny J press tour continues...but what in the name of Jesus' jugs made her think her big revelation would actually make him look better? Vicki's getting sued, and everyone else seems to be running with that news, but we have a little different outlook.    Today's podcast is brought to you by our sponsors: - By focusing on the cellular aspects of aging, OneSkin keeps your skin looking and acting younger for longer.

First, a tribute to Shannen Doherty - we will miss her. She was unapologetically herself and we feel like we lost a friend this week. Tom Sandoval continues to villainize himself - he just filed a lawsuit against Ariana for "invading his right to privacy" through her "unauthorized and unpermitted access to, use of, and copying of the data on his cell phone and the distribution to Rachel Leviss". We have thoughts on that and his very strange 4am Instagram live with his girlfriend. We have breaking news on the Real Housewives of Orange County. And, a Cocktails and Gossip exclusive about the future of Real Housewives of New Jersey. We can't tell you all the details yet, but we share what we can and definitely encourage you to keep an eye on Cocktail Party next week for more.    This episode of Cocktails and Gossip is brought to you in part by OneSkin.

Amanda just had an evening out doing an activity that B does NOT approve of.  And we go on a bit of a tangent about boating. Our merch store is almost ready - we can't wait to share it with you! And while things were slow on Bravo this week during the holiday, there was a lot going on offscreen. True to B's prediction, Lindsay Hubbard announced her pregnancy. And we share a little about why we haven't and won't share specifics or pictures of the new man in her life. Summer House is filming, and we've got info on the newbies - and who is vibing. And Hannah Berner came out this week telling the story of why she and Kyle actually had beef - turns out it had nothing to do with Luke. We each have theories about why Hannah is now telling that story, four years later. And if you haven't watched Ryan Serhant's new show Owning Manhattan on Netflix, jump on it. We both loved it and share our thoughts on what makes it so good - and of course, we've got opinions on the agents.    This week's podcast is brought to you by our amazing sponsors, Jenni Kayne and LolaVie.

She also answers our questions about getting facelifts in our 40s, and what kind of non-surgical beauty treatments give the best bang for their buck. And of course, we get her opinions on what's happening on shows like Real Housewives of New Jersey, Vandperpump Rules, and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

We both had late nights...so it's only fitting we start with a tangent about rosé. And as expected, New Jersey is top of the list to discuss this week, and we untangle the hairdresser drama and talk about how charity events work. Amanda finds some interesting data about Jen Aydin's charitable history. LVP is going to be back on our Bravo screens. With Kenya out on Real Housewives of Atlanta, who is going to take her place? Could the timing of Peter Thomas's tax announcement be a coincidence? And a theory about Gina from RHOC that we put together with Cocktailers on our last Zoom. Dubai sparkles...but we have a bone to pick with the show.

So much to discuss about Real Housewives of New Jersey this week - on and off screen. First, a tangent about Dolores' boyfriend Paulie's 14 year separation in which he still isn't divorced. This week's episode was classic Housewives and we loved it. Rumors are swirling that Carl and Danielle from Summer House are dating - we'll share what we know. We do have an exclusive on an upcoming RHONJ scene - and more bad news on Teresa, her husband Luis, and Vinivia, a company they are associated with. And last but not least, B has another prediction.

Lots of smoke around Kyle and Amanda and their marriage this week. Is there fire? Why didn't Amanda go to Italy with Kyle for Andrea's wedding? We'll tell you what we're hearing plus more on the history of their relationship and how that could weigh into today's situation. Thoughts on the Summer House reunion, and where things could be headed for this summer's filming of Summer House. We've got an exclusive about the cast and filming of Bravo's new show, Making it Manhattan. Luis Ruelas, husband of Teresa from RHONJ is tied to another business scandal. We looked into the company at the center of the scandal and found some pretty interesting imo. Teresa launched her pod this week - and we're in shock about what she said about her past. On RHONJ, Jackie gives the ultimate "pick me girl" energy and we. are. over. it. We're hearing all kinds of wild rumors about Real Housewives of Atlanta filming - and we're reserving judgement for one very specific reason.    Have you been thinking about joining Cocktail Party?

We start out with a tangent about college hookups, going right into why Amanda is mad at Bravo. We need a reunion on the Valley! Here's why. We have an exclusive about Britney and Jax's house. B is vindicated now that Andy Cohen and People Magazine confirmed that there will be no RHONJ reunion. We've got some tea about where Jersey could possibly go next. And we are loving Real Housewives of Dubai. It's giving fashion, fun and the light housewife shade we all are craving.

Who's surprised that Jax is out there dating Only Fans models? Not us. B has some exclusive Vanderpump Rules tea. Who do we think the VPR couple who temporarily rekindled was? We think there are some clues in the Peacock extended version. And our thoughts on the final installment of the VPR reunion. We feel like we got some clarity. Summer House: B has a theory on why Amanda is seemingly on Carl's side. And we have another theory about why Kyle called Craig a liar on WWHL. We have some exclusive RHONJ cast updates. And why is Teresa having lunch with the hairdresser who "exposed" her for allegedly having an affair when Joe was in prison a few years ago? We smell a setup and hope Danielle does too.    This episode of Cocktails and Gossip is sponsored by Nutrafol.

The Atlanta cast is finally set. Why is Sheree out? And yet again, all roads lead to Bravo as we tie a Housewife to the Drake/Kendrick Lamar battle. Kim Z is clickbaiting again. We’ve got some insider tea on the new “Making it in Manhattan” show. Carl and Lindsay - luggagegate and whose side we’re on. Kyle’s fight with Ciara and Paige - we have slightly differing opinions on the situation but both agree he’s acting like a man baby about it. We have an update on the Naomie Olindo (formerly of Southern Charm) lawsuit - it’s still not over, and it’s not looking great for Naomie. B’s got some insider info on Austen and Craig’s spat.

First, a genuine apology to Jen Armstrong, formerly of RHOC and to Jen Pedranti, currently on RHOC. We mixed up last names, and when we meant to refer to Jen Pedranti, we accidentally called her Jen Armstrong. No shade was meant. But just because we messed up Jen P's name, doesn't mean we're not going to share the latest on her fiance's involvement in the Ohtani theft/gambling scandal. @bravoandcocktails_ Instagram has been in the news - thanks to a pic we got from a Cocktailer that was then shared and credited to the B&C IG by TMZ - of Dorit and PK at dinner shortly after their separation announcement. We have a hot take on Jenn Fessler's convo with Teresa. B's question for Amanda - if *this one thing* changed about John Fuda, would we all have a different opinion about him? The VPR reunion aired, and we've got different opinions about the Lala vs. Katie convo.    Cocktailers, thank you for listening to Cocktails and Gossip! We might change our minds about shows and Bravolebs on the daily, but you know what we don't change our minds about? Gossip.
