99. P Diddy; RHOP Divorce, Love Child and DUI; Ride a Cowgirl

Another wild week in March. How much more can we take? Monday’s news about P Diddy’s homes being raided by Homeland Security and his sons being cuffed, while he was allegedly flying around the islands on a private jet. Real Housewives of Potomac has us talking – the finale was definitely worth watching. There’s a physical fight at the GNA party. And Mia and Gordon are getting divorced: Mia’s been having an affair, and she and Gordon aren’t sure whether their son is Gordon’s or Mia’s on-and-off affair partner. So this is going to be *quite* the reunion. We have an interesting theory on what might actually be behind Simon Guobadia’s recent call to the police. Miami filming is delayed – we’ve got some thoughts on why. Why are we finding out so much more about Kyle and Mauricio’s separation on Buying Beverly Hills? Last but not least, congrats to Ariana from VPR on the purchase of her new house. A quick update on where things stand with her house battle with Tom. 

Welcome to cocktails and gossip, the podcast where we drink cocktails, but you better believe we’re going to spill the tea. We chat reality TV, celebrity blinds and the hottest tea from problem cocktails.com. And as always, is all alleged and just for fun. We do not verify our blinds. Be
And I’m Amanda. Let’s get into this week’s tip
What’s up Amanda and cocktail hours? Whoo. I
came before the cocktails this time. Hi, guys. Hi, everybody. IP. I know what it is about this month. March has been I think like this March. I mean, last March was crazy too, because of scanable. But it’s
been crazy. March Madness. Yeah. Huh.
Except this is like not my bracket, who I just totally lost. On Okay, so my don’t even
bother with that. My husband knows it. Oh, we never have but like nobody presented me with a box or anyone. Oh, it’s not even a box. That’s football. Like nobody presented me with anything. I’m like that meme where it’s like, I love that men spend like all year watching college basketball to get beat by a girl who picks because of the school colors. And that to me.
It is so true. I yeah, I always my
house was pissed off because us New Yorkers are big St. John’s fans, and we were like on the cusp and I don’t really know how it works. But my husband was explaining it to me that there’s a committee who picks which seems like bullshit. And St. John’s didn’t make it in. So like, are pretty pissed over here in the borough’s?
Yeah, there’s like there’s rankings, right? And then yes, because there’s 64 teams so they have like the bubble teams that they’re you know, in that is kind of a committee and it’s just when you if you’re in a situation where not everybody’s playing everybody like that’s the only way to really do it. But I agree with you. So I don’t know I have always done I’m like used to do them by hand. And then now it’s like through the app and like doing it with my son. My daughter has no interests and like looking at like we’re in a couple of different brackets and like one of my very closest friend is she’s killing killing it like beating everybody quite badly on this bracket. So I am now char her because mine is definitely busted. Okay, so Monday, we get the crazy news that stuff is going on on multiple fronts. Regarding P Diddy, so I think it was Homeland Security or I was and
I think it was the two homes not the New York Jele
in Miami because we saw like the boats with LA and then like or with new with Miami and then the we saw the the Holmby Hills, ginormous house in the LA area. I personally didn’t see anything about New York, but I’m sure that that’s happening or if it hasn’t already. And then we also got the news that apparently his LA home has like an underground, like under the water or something tunnel. Did you see that?
I did. I did. And I wonder why would somebody need that? So back in November, we all know Cassie sued him. He settled. That was like the beginning of various lawsuits and allegations from seemingly coming from all sorts of people who have been involved with him over the years. Few weeks ago, there was one incredibly damning civil lawsuit. Other people are named. This lawsuit has drugs, murder, sex trafficking, all the things trifacta absolutely frightening. I would like to remind and everybody that Wendy Williams told us all in the 90s. And I’m old enough to remember her losing her radio job back then. And she did get hired by another station. But just an example of this man’s power.
When that happened, did she say it’s because I talked about P Diddy being a creep.
I don’t know if she said it then or after, or one of her got it. But I just remember knowing. And I was, you know, this was the height of Bad Boy, I was a teenager in the mid late 90s. And I loved hip hop, you know, did he’s from New York. Hey, we all I don’t know if we all did, but I certainly watched making the band. And like, a part of me just believed he was a shrewd businessman, which all successful businessmen and women seem to be right. So I never really fully believed it was as dark as because I’m naive. And I’m like, Well, if it’s that bad, then why is he still right? You know, out here running businesses. Yeah. So when this stuff started coming out, when the kasi suit suit started coming out, we posted a blind that said he knew this was coming. And this was why prior Right, right before the shoot, he made this surprising decision to give songwriters and artists publishing rights back. Yeah, there are no coincidences. We keep hearing a lot more will come out. Then there was a famous psychic who in addition to sharing scary allegations about what really happened, allegedly, allegedly to Diddy’s the mother of his twins Kim Porter, the psychic kind of saying five months you can’t stop the truth. She said right around Easter. And here we are. She ish. Yeah. Probably the most upsetting thing is his son’s alleged involvement. And then like it’s unclear because some people are saying he wasn’t on his private jet that was flying from LA or Miami to various islands where extradition I felt like we were watching the OJ Simpson Chase. And I don’t know if we’ll ever know whether he was in the plane or not. But his sons were arrested at his LA home. So whether he was in LA or in Miami, or on that plane on an island. He wasn’t with his kids. They’re adults, right? The boys are adult but you know, he does have two minor twin daughters, another minor daughter, who’s the twins same age but has a different mother because he had two congruent relationships. At this, he’s always sort of lived a polygamous lifestyle. And then he has a brand new baby. So get out. We assume he was tipped off that this was happening and he just left his kids. So
okay, really quick about this plane thing. Because if he’s on the plane, I just can’t get past that leaving his kids in LA. But if he’s not on the plane, I mean, we all saw that flight plan. It was all over the place. I had to Google where Barbuda is I didn’t know.
So many people DM me and said, B you spelt Barbados wrong. I was like, no, no, it’s Barbuda. Like that’s a plate.
Yeah. Or Bermuda. And I was like, No, Barbuda is a place. I mean, jet fuel is expensive. I mean, I would guess just that that flight plan for the day. That’s half a million dollars in jet fuel and staffing. What is the plane doing? If Well, he’s
not on a plane, something’s on it. Right stones going on yet? Right. I think ultimately TMZ reported it was in Antigua and like, we know from Taylor Swift, people track these planes like there are Twitter accounts dedicated to it. So a lot of people were sending us that. Meantime, same day, Russell Simmons, who’s currently living in Bali on the run from similar allegations, sexual of the sexual nature was given a lawsuit same day, did his lawsuit as federal filed in the Southern District of New York. For those of you thinking that sounds familiar, it’s the same office that took down Jen Shaw, I believe married marks told us that it has what a 98% success rate. It’s federal. Yeah, that yeah, that’s big. And this is all unfolding, and we’ll see as we go. One insider says the dominoes will fall and this is the first of many arrests. Others say the real top people will be protected a law, Jeff Epstein so like is did he not the top person and then did his lawyer statement? Okay, so you have the federal government, Southern District of New York homeland security rating his homes, obviously, they have good reason right? And his lawyer says, yesterday, there was a gross overuse of military level force as search warrants were executed at Mr. Combs residences. There is no excuse for this excessive show of force. hostility exhibited by authorities or the way his children and employees were treated. Mr. Combs was never detained but spoke to and cooperated with authorities. Despite media speculation, neither Mr. combs or any family members have been arrested, nor has their ability to travel been restricted in any way. This unprecedented ambush paired with an advanced coordinated media presence leads to a premature rush to judgment of Mr. Combs. And is nothing more than a witch hunt based on meritless accusations made in civil lawsuits. There has been no finding of criminal or civil liabilities with any of these allegations, Mr. Combs is innocent, and will continue to fight to clear his name every single day thoughts.
So he is not in custody. Interesting, which
I listen again, guys, we’re not attorneys, I encourage you to certainly tune in to the Bravo docket this week. I’m sure they will be covering it. But what I do now, with anybody with a brain in their head knows is that at this level, you’re not raiding a house unless they were able to secure a warrant, right? Yeah. His sons were in cough. His sons are named in this lawsuit. And
it was raw, like, Did you see the video? It was It wasn’t just being locked out in cuffs. It was being pushed out. Yeah, they were treating? I couldn’t I don’t know the sons names. I don’t know. But one of the sounds just fine. Roughly. Justin,
and oh, god, okay. They could Yeah, yeah. Justin. And then the other one is? Oh, I think the other one is probably named after him. Maybe? I don’t know.
Well, and I’m watching this thinking out there’s helicopters above there’s video cameras, June Justin and Christian Christian. So the the authorities that are treating him roughly fully know that every all of this is on video. So it’s not like they’re like, Oops, I didn’t realize I was like, I don’t know, it just all feels. It feels like a lot. It’ll be really interesting. I
think. I think this isn’t, it’ll fall on the end of Diddy. I think that stuff has been uncovered. I think that, first of all, he wouldn’t have settled that humongous amount of money, I believe. I don’t think they just closed it. But she was asking Cassie for 30 million. So she wasn’t going to walk away with 2 million. So he gave her an enormous amount of money if there was nothing more to it. Why would he? And of course then we follow 50 cent who is like apparently he does have one of my followers said that 50 said did in fact buy a movie studio somewhere in LA I forget the exact town somewhere in California. No, it’s an it’s near Louisiana. I
think all in Louisiana. You’re right. Sure. In Louisiana, not near but in Louisiana. Right? You know, He’s big. He’s actually a big producer. He does power power. Yeah. And there’s many power like versions of power. There’s many of like spin offs of power. And like he’s it that doesn’t surprise me one bit that he would buy his own studio just to streamline his operations more.
He’s a brilliant guy. I mean, he also invested in vitamin water. And when he did, he was like, no, no, don’t pay me up front. I want a percent of the shares. And that’s how like he started his like, real big money like outside outside of music. And he’s been on DVDs as he’s been saying this for years. And Katt Williams called out Diddy. So it’s like, you know, also, and we said this the last time when we spoke about it in November, all his famous friends for Mary J. Blige to Jay Z to Beyonce, all his famous friends. Not a one, not a one has spoke out and said, He’s innocent. That speaks volumes. It
does and 50 cent I gotta say, I love you for being not being afraid to be shady on social media. always the best.
I just crack up. Me and my husband were like, just looking at last night laying in bed, like hysterically laughing like he had this mean. He’s named me he’s like, I think I’m gonna name the documentary. Did he do it? I was like, oh my god, I
can’t I love him. He’s too good. All right, you know, I thought that was so funny too. Okay, so we haven’t been talking about Potomac as much this season. But I do want to chat a little bit about it because I feel like things got kind of slow during the last, you know, few episodes, but that finale really delivered so there’s a lot to kind of share. So just a quick kind of recap for those of you guys and we actually had some people on Discord asking like, and I told him I was like I kind of napped through Do a few of the last episodes but then watch the last. I thought and feel like collectively
we all did like so many people were tuned out. And it’s funny because one of my one of my followers on Insta, I wasn’t even watching it Sunday night and she messaged me and thank you shout out to Susan. I won’t say your last name. She said be you have to turn on Potomac the last 10 minutes or Wow. And, you know, I would have found out about it like, but I’m happy she told me when she did. So I fast forward. I actually, I fast forward to watch the tenant last 10 minutes and then I went back because as I was fast forwarding, I’m like, damn, this whole episode looks interesting.
It was I wouldn’t say the whole one is good. And guy is like if you gotten a little behind, you can actually just pick up I think the finale and because like some of it is even a continuation of stuff that happened last year. So he Karinna they call her Kay she went on the trip to the Dominican Republic with all of them. I like her. She seems great. They like the group is all at a party for the launch of GNA which is actually in chisels. athleisure brand cameras go down. Ladies kind of I don’t know
if you remember this, but we had an exclusive video that somebody at that club sent us Amanda that we posted. Oh, yeah, it so we knew about this fight. We didn’t know if they would air it.
Yes. Because we knew that’s right. Yeah, that’s right. So during the fights, Jabra so you guys remember Deborah Deborah is Ashley’s friend Deborah. Last year accused Candace his husband Chris, of hitting on her. Canada’s called her muppet. And lots of other names. Right. So Deborah comes to this party. After the cameras go down. Deborah goes up to Candace. Candace flips out we don’t have video of this fight. But we do have audio we do. I
need to find it. Like I think now it’s circulating around though. Like you see like, you see a scuffle but you don’t like really know what’s I? It was hard to make out what’s going on? And also there were two people in yellow like it was very confusing. Who was who and what was what, because it was just like from the back. So we weren’t see on its face. Yeah,
we yeah, we need to find that. And we’ll we’ll share that again. So that’s really where the show starts, right is the scuffle. And then there is another party for this magazine launch. And at the like, magazine launch party, they have a conversation like we don’t do this. This is like this violence is not okay. We need to take responsibility for our friends, which you know, for their acts of violence, which I think Ashley was like, look like I had I known she would do that I would never have invited her but I can’t take full responsibility for everything a friend does. Anyway, it was a productive conversation, I thought, then we got you know, the classic housewife ending where they do a freeze frame on each housewife and they do an update on what’s happening in each wife’s lives now. But me as last, when it’s her turn, we get the dramatic black screen and the dramatic three months later words at the bottom of the screen. And then we find out Mia and Gordon are getting divorced.

Mia has been and I would say quite unapologetically having an affair since last year with a man named Inc. So this I guess is the same man that she also had an affair at the beginning of her marriage to Gordon and has who has been saying to Mia, I will wait for you never married anybody else. Fast forward to I’m guessing this was 2022 ish when this affair started. I might have those dates a little bit wrong, but Mia says April of last year. So I think that that’s what she means. But orden I guess was having some kind of prostate issue and told me she could go outside the marriage with his blessing. As long as she followed two goals. One don’t involve the kids and two essentially Don’t be messy. Like don’t be out in public and being messy and whatever. So but what many of our like the cocktail errs, were discussing this in the DMS or discussing it on Discord. I’m seeing in the comments on the website. During this conversation that me and Gordon have in the kitchen. They both casually admit that they’re not so sure if their son Jeremiah, is Gordon’s son or ynx. Son. Even sounds like Mia, let’s ink think that Jeremiah is his mind blowing. Yes, thank you, Mia. I’m gonna say though what I think I’m sure the pot like the producers have been like, God, we’ve seen this throughout the season and said of all in one dose,
okay, yes. But we never know the timeline or so at first, I was feeling bad for Gordon watching this right, just focusing on what we did say. But then a cocktail or shared a really interesting perspective that I wanted to share with you and with the cocktail hours because I want to, like get feedback on this. So I think one thing that we have to recognize is whether you like really enjoy me or you don’t, she’s always been honest, that they have a non traditional marriage. And in their conversation, since she’s always been honest about their non monogamous marriage. I remember her first season she was more open about it. She spoke about Gordon going to strip clubs. She sort of always alluded to it. Am I right?
Yeah, I think she had even or Gordon had even said maybe last season that he had given her permission. Or maybe it was at like, I know that this and this was not like it was maybe on the reunion or it was somewhere on our screens, not like in collio party that we knew about this. And maybe
maybe it was at the reunion things were set yo with this person’s shared with me, as they said non monogamous couples face a huge amount of stigma, which we know to be true. And Gordon, who was half of this non monogamous marriage is now leaning into that right? Knowing that that your average person or more people are going to be on the side of oh, this is weird. This isn’t right. You were cheating. And so this person said, especially for non monogamous women, the stigma gets compounded by misogyny. And she said people lose custody of their children after a partner decides that the thing they were fine with. They want to leverage it in a courtroom. Yeah, so this person went on to say the way editing glossed over the whole thing of Gordon taking her phone and locking her in a room. She was always open on camera, but also with Gordon and in that conversation, she said you’re not being fair. Like you agree to this. Right. Right. So it was something I I appreciated hearing this side, because I admit as somebody who is in a traditional marriage, my mind did kind of feel bad for Gordon initially and not taking into consideration Hey, wait a minute, this is something he agreed to. This is something whatever their arrangement was. As they were co parenting, they were living in the same home and he was aware that she was with this man. Now, what he says Is she involved the kids, she brought them to the house. He has all right to be upset if she violated the rules of their agreement. Yeah, but it seemed to me that he was more mad that it wasn’t a casual thing that she clearly was, had feelings for this guy. And this person says that it was kind of Gordon was weaponizing it against her and combining that her history in you know, as a stripper was she again was always open about you know, she has been open about things that we get mad at other housewives for hiding or sugarcoating or lying about and so he’s weaponizing that against her now. So I actually when I look at it in that scope, I feel for me.
Yeah, watching that conversation. I felt frustrated on me as behalf to because it’s clear that Gordon knew what was going on. And now he’s acting. Heard about it.

back to this locking someone in a room. That is I believe that is still kidnapping and saying she needed to rough like that is row scary. And like Kathy Bates in Misery vibes. I don’t know. I think that’s that is. I don’t like that. I think regarding monogamy, non monogamy within a marriage. What I am very interested in is how do couples who decide to do this, decide where the line is so that the other person doesn’t fall in love with somebody else? Right? Because I would imagine that it’s the when these agreements are are made that it’s more about supposedly supposed to be more about, like the sex or whatever. And I don’t know, I haven’t been in a situation. I’m just guessing. But like, that’s something I always wonder like, how do they do that? How, like, where are the lines? So that? Well,
I always go back to listening to Dr. Drew say that. Yeah, you know, and he’s a marriage therapist. And he said like, 99.9% of times. It does not work. Right. Because something goes awry. And Doug,
yeah, what he says is it’s a temporary band aid, but it’s never a long term solution and that yeah, he’s never seen it work out to have couples have a non monogamous Rupal kind
of it’s not sustainable over so many years.
Yeah. And then of course, I headed again, because I think the reader or the cocktail errs point is very interesting, especially about weaponizing that in the courtroom. So Maryland is a I had to dig in because I’m like, is it a fault or no fault divorce state because that can be huge, because we know from our discussions here, that Georgia is a fault State and then if adultery can be proven, then the person who committed adultery can be found at fault in Maryland, if you guys remember quite a while ago, we talked about Ashley Darby and Michael Darby, and that in order for them to get divorced, they had to live separately for a year. Because Maryland law says that so I guess as of last October, Maryland made some changes. So Maryland used to be a no fault or a fault. No Fault. So fault was an option, divorce state, and that separation requirement had to be a year but it has now it’s now no foul, and it’s now reduced to six months. I don’t know. I just think Gordon’s kind of trying to play for the cameras. I think me as not having it. I have not always been like the biggest meow fan. But I mean, I say go meow like
me too. And I, you know, it’s not up to me. It’s not an arrangement that I would make. But it’s an arrangement that they decided to make, and you can’t have it both ways, right? So she’s doing what they agreed to. And okay, it does get a little bit gray area with the with the children, but like, maybe that’s why you don’t agree to it in the first place. Right? And then them so casually saying that they believe the sun is her boyfriend inks, and we had a cocktail or who sent me an email and shared with me that she knows ink and ink believes it his son adds a whole other layer. And after I posted that, we saw the clip where Mia says Inc believes it’s his son. So this is like, this is so messy, and it’s a child who maybe one day is going to want to know who his biological father isn’t. And regardless is going to have a relationship with Gordon. Right these last so many years and there’s a level of confusion that now that child needs to work through, you know, and having to choose if let’s say Inc is his dad, like Gordon loves the child and clearly it hasn’t mattered to him if it’s biologically his he said that he wants to raise him as his child. And so if it isn’t, you know what, where does that go? Right? The whole thing can get very messy, very
messy. And I think again, no judgments to anybody, but I have my I have my questions about whether if you marry somebody for money, which Mia said I might have a fake can really be the recipe for true happiness. I don’t I question it. I’m not gonna say for sure it can’t, but I question it. Okay, so day after the finale finale is Sunday, Monday, the wild day, we hear it announced that Candice is out. We were told she has something new and exciting in the works. The freeze frame on the finale said that she’s chopping herself to some bigger labels, but we don’t know if you know her saying that she’s got new and exciting stuff. That’s a positive spin. If that’s true, we don’t know. We do know that housewives rarely leave on their own. I feel like I could see Candace leaving on her own but who knows we also hear Robin may be out. I
mean, this checks out in January we received an email and it’s always amazing how often these emails are accurate because they can come from anywhere. The email said to Potomac ladies will be giving their walking papers the cast is over them and producers see no reason to keep trying with either due to lack of storylines and relationships with the group. Expect two to three new women next season. And then it concluded with rumor has it Candice is one of them. And maybe Robin, I don’t believe Robin has confirmed as of you know when when we’re recording, right. Potomac needs serious help. Let us not forget Karen who now has two DUIs. We were not aware of it. Yeah. When this tried it out about
her first one, you know,
always eluded to her having a drinking problem but I just thought they were being shady. So angry. I want her off the show. And I have always and anyone who you know listens to us or you know follows problem cocktails on Insta knows that I’m a huge Karen huger fan always have been she cracks me up. I will give her the same heat that I gave Shannon there is 00 Excuse zero room, despicable the fact that she denied it. At first in a statement shout out to our cocktail errs in law enforcement who before the media outlets were allowed to publish it because it wasn’t officially out. told us that she was so we posted it hours a few hours before it It was actually confirmed and Sunday night.
Yeah, because or Saturday and I can’t remember when it was, you were talking texted me some say I’m dying was not caught up and I was like, wait, what what?
So Emily, because so she was charged with the DUI and six other citations including reckless driving and failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident. Now it’s all public on the montgomery county website at the time, it was not but I trusted this person who was in law enforcement who has shared things with me in the past. This was before it was available to media outlets, so that’s why it wasn’t confirmed by the other outlets. In the interim, other outlets were sharing Karen statement, which was blaming her emotional state over the loss of her mother, she did not mention drinking. Mind you once this was made public, we find out she was wasted way above the drinking limit.
What I love most about one skin is how smooth and hydrated my skin looks. I use it to prevent wrinkles in general, but specifically crow’s feet and my chest area are where I’ve been targeting and getting great results. treating the symptoms rather than the root cause of aging has long been the norm. Most skincare that is available on the market is designed to provide a temporary reduction in visible signs of aging, addressing just the surface symptoms of an underlying decline in skin health. In a third party 12 week clinical study performed by third party research organization, os one face was clinically proven to strengthen the skin barrier, improve skin health markers, and diminish visible signs of aging. Wrinkles were diminished in 87% of users. One skin is more than skincare. It’s about skin longevity, targeting the root causes of aging to help you look and feel your best at every age.

what was her? Do we know what her blood alcohol level was?
I’m sure this person sent it but I don’t mean
it to you. And I was just curious, like
dub like way over way? Oh,
let’s see if I can Google it while we’re talking.
She should have stayed quiet because the courts and prosecutors take these cases very seriously as they should and her statement to the media about it just being an emotional situation. I doubt will sit well with a district court judges. I think she burned bridges with the media who were wrongly believed her because we didn’t know about the first DUI so what happened was when they ran when this person in law enforcement ran the records for me, they were like holy shit, she has a DUI from 2007 and then they were like this isn’t public yet but the way it’s worded this is gonna come up as a DUI and sure enough it did. So
yeah. And okay. The article is saying that the police could that she smelled like alcohol and that she was walking with a sway her eyes appeared bloodshot. Her speech was slurred. She refused the breathalyzer, she refused to answer how much she’d had to drink. She refused medical attention said she didn’t want to be on body cam. And then they had to suspend her driver’s license because she refused a breathalyzer test. She released a statement saying she was grateful to be alive. Understand your emotional state before you get behind the wheel.
Like flat outline the next day to like when she had time to think about it. She just lied. Like it’s gonna get out. Although it gets when you have a DUI from 2007 that never was made public and kudos to all those women even Sharif’s. Nobody ever outed her. You know those ladies? Oh, no. Oh, yeah.
Oh, for sure. I mean, I am very, very disappointed. I think I agree. There is absolutely no room for that. I think it is a very selfish act. It’s it’s despicable. I’m very curious to see how she handles us on an ongoing because I wonder if she has looked at Shannon but or and then like, well, it died down eventually. You know, and like, if the will the show want her back because I think at this point now, you know it’s happened to one or two, the show like Bravo keeps them but now a third like what message does that send by Bravo if word is now effectively giving a platform to people who drink and drive. So
it’s so different to me then the women yelling at each other or even fighting, drinking and driving. You know you’re going out? I don’t know, I just I can’t understand it. We live in the era of Ubers and Lyfts. And yeah, these are women of means like it not it’s it’s no excuse. I don’t care if you have no money you spent if you can afford to sit at a bar and get drunk you can afford to Uber home. Right? Like, I can’t wrap my head around it. And we should all be angry. You know, I’m driving my children on roads. You’re driving your children on I’m driving my fucking self on roads. And people think it’s acceptable for them to just go in a car wasted and crashed into people. People die. Yeah,
so I mean, my I have been heard nollie back did a few years away from driving himself like same scares the crap out of me.
It and it doesn’t make it listen. It wouldn’t make it okay if our sons or daughters at 18 drank and drove when 50 something year old women with money get behind the wheel of a vehicle intoxicated, it makes my blood boil. Yeah, I can’t think of something that makes me more angry. So I think I’d like to see Bravo, stop. I’d like them to cut the shit and say, You know what, this is enough.
Yeah, I agree. You know, at least Gina own up to it was mortified. She apologized. And she changed her ways. Yes. Yeah. I feel like Shannon just never seemed all that. Sorry. And Karen is not really seeming to own up to anything either. I have. I just have no room in my heart for that. I am right there with you. Hmm. Okay. Let’s move on Atlanta.
Oh, god, god, there’s
a lot of just this is just I don’t know, it’s such a crazy month. So Simon, good. Badea Portia Fallon, ex felon, who is apparently you know, fighting deportation by because has has not had his immigration approved has called the cops and accused her of sending an armed man to their home. Bye, guys.
We write like little notes. And I wrote the notes of
shooter shooter. Yes, yes,
I think your shooter. So
one of our cocktail learners, who is an attorney has a very interesting theory. She said that Simon’s allegations, a crop against Porsche could have another motive because victims of domestic violence that are undocumented or facing deportation can receive protections under federal law and not be deported. Make sense? Right? If somebody comes over to you know, like, is marrying somebody from the US and that person is a monster, that person who has immigrated should have some protections, however, yeah, so we don’t know anything about this
gunman. This this Simon wants us to believe okay. Yeah, that he is a victim of Porsche as a diplomat, domestic violent person, which to try to avoid being deported for his crimes. This is a man who’s been trying to get citizenship and has been denied since the 90s. Because he’s a felon. What a fuckin psycho. Like, I guess A for effort like what? Who is believing that Porsche is sending an assassin to kill him and this is going to stop his deportation. I just I just said there’s
not many things that make your blood boil like people who like Miss reports or make a falsely alleged falsely claim domestic violence I mean, it’s because domestic violence is such a real issue. Right I if that’s what he is really doing. I Yikes. Okay. Let’s do talk a little bit something later. So Miami, we have heard the filming will be moved to fall. Which you know, Miami, a lot of people who live in Miami like to get out of Miami in the summer because it’s so hot. We’re hearing there will be some Cash changes. Not surprising. And we’re seeing, you know, I don’t know, let’s talk about why we think. And maybe it’s a couple of reasons, right. But we’re seeing production, put more and more time in between filming across all of the franchisees. So I’m just starting to wonder if this is like an across the board. A make them miss us, or scarcity strategy, by Bravo. So if the con, you know, there’s less content, you know, you and I have talked many times when that, like, during the fall, when there was so much to watch, that it was, you know, we had, like, we had a wealth of Bravo shows to watch. Right. But if there’s a lot of content who’s Yeah, right, the more we will want to watch what’s actually on. I
mean, it makes sense, right? Because if you have if you’re producing, you know, three or four things, five things and you’re paying five casts, and you’re paying five productions, and you’re getting your numbers split amongst those. Isn’t it better to have two out and same numbers, but against two is higher ratings and you’re paying less people so you’re making more? Because
it makes you I like So bravo fans, right.
I hope it’s not true, because I like having choices. Regarding the the changes in Miami, the I got somebody shared with me that they don’t think it’s big cast changes. They think maybe a demotion, maybe in addition, they think we’ll probably see Anna Quino Nan hat or not as their last name can cook coaches, something like that. Yeah. But you know, that all depends, like, does she have a real connection to people? Is she going to bring something to filming? So I don’t know how much we’ll see her. The shift to fall end of summer leads me to believe in addition to the weather being better. I mean, they’re doing it for Nicole to everyone loves Dr. Nicole. She’s giving birth and prayer to Dr. Nicole, she posted yesterday at 35 weeks pregnant, she was starting to have some contractions. So hopefully she cooks that baby a little longer. So she’s due at the end of April, April. Yeah. So like it waiting until September makes sense. Because they want her to want to go to parties and this and that. And when you have a week old baby at home, you’re not gonna want to do that. Whereas, you know, 12 weeks from having a baby, you’re more inclined to do those things. So I think that it has a lot to do with Dr. Nicole. Yeah, I wouldn’t be shocked if Lisa had a demotion. I don’t caught her. Because it’s so easy to integrate her here and there, but I don’t know that they want or need her full time. And somebody told me and I find this very hard to believe but I trust the person who told me that it was Adrianus choice initially not to be full time. I’m thinking maybe it was influenced because her son didn’t want to film but I’m just surprised she wouldn’t want to do it for the exposure and the money. But you know, they started filming remember over three years ago so maybe at a different place. She may have had a relationship she wanted to keep private back then and now things are you know what I mean? So, but I heard initially it was her choice for the people want her full time that people want Kiki full time.

people want Adriana? Oh, interesting. Yeah, I hear a lot of people on Discord of our cocktail are saying they can’t stand her. So I think she’s one of those people who make some good TV. There are definitely some cringy moments coming from her. But I like her story that she’s doing this pop star thing in her 50s. I think the thing that’s really interesting about Miami is the line between the full timers and then the Friends of feels a little more and more blurred when it comes to how much screen time they get. Because we see muddy soul all the time, right, despite the fact that she’s not full time and we even see her home life, you know, with her partner, I guess the or I don’t know if I’m still confused about if they’re married or not. And it doesn’t matter with Steve. Right? And then his stuff. Yeah, and too. So I don’t know, anyway, or Yeah. All right. So you and I have been texting. You gave me some homework this weekend to watch Mauricio The Umansky is show on Netflix, selling Beverly Hills. What’s your take on it?
My take on it is, I really would not have watched the show other than I saw so many clips, where they’re going to be talking about his marriage, right, and the daughter’s processing it and it’s not just about real estate. So that’s what, why I said to you, let’s watch this. Let’s see what’s all the doing. And then I saw an interview with Mauricio and the girls. And their response to that is it’s not that we’re sharing more, it’s that this is a different format. It’s not a bunch of housewives, it’s just our family. I don’t know it seems to me like they gave Netflix more. And I think that Kyle’s a good mom, and she’s letting her daughters have the exposure, because the first season was kind of nobody was really talking about it. Right? Yeah. So I wasn’t planning on watching it. I don’t know how I feel about the whole thing. Somebody said they said that Kyle hired an attorney. My source says she has not officially this is this is as of the weekend guys. So yeah, we’re close to next weekend now but as of last weekend when Karen was driving drunk. Yeah, I’ll do it had not secured an attorney.
Completely random. But I wanted to bring this up. Heather McDonald, great podcast, our comedian. She does a lot of predictions. She I don’t think she pretends to be psychic. I think she’s just like I can read the writing on the wall kind of thing she put out on her social media. She predicts there will be a People magazine cover between Kyle and Morgan Wade. By May 1.
I have to tell you, I got another person who DM me and said, My friend works in country music doesn’t watch reality TV. Kyle was there wherever they were they were holding hands. They’re very much a couple. I’ve gotten that a dozen times. Yeah, I believe they are and what I also learned a while back I forget if I mentioned it on here is that Morgan isn’t officially out to her family. We’ll just sort of assume she is. But there’s a layer to it. And I think that a lot of people say like, oh, but you know, we’re outing people. Well, here’s the thing. I’m not outing anybody. She was a love interest in her music video. This week. She wrote on one of Morgan posts ride a cow girl not able
so you guys know the song say horse ride a cowboy, right? It says save a horse ride a cow girl.
So she was like, I don’t know, lesbian baiting us. So I don’t feel any sort of shame because it’s not like this is to friends who have never given hints or joked about it or egged us on. Right? So, you know, whatever their reasons are for not officially saying it or whatever their reasons are. I will say this. At the end of all of this 28 year marriage is a huge success. Regardless of at the end you decide to go your separate ways. The circus that they’ve created around the end of their marriage and the way they’ve tried to monetize it and get more exposure both of them the Dancing with the Stars, the spin off show that we’re all tuning into I don’t love it. They have money they don’t need to do it. Kyle makes over a million dollars a season just on Beverly Hills. I think it’s tacky. I think it’s tacky in the same way I know you guys notice I don’t comment or report on the Kardashians because I don’t like how they operate as a family I don’t believe in profiting off like that. Like that’s the housewives is different to me. But like I don’t know, I just I I just, it’s unnecessary. Kyle has. She’s the, you know, she’s the star of Beverly Hills one way or the other, she could have ended her marriage with a little bit more class than making it such a circus. That’s just my opinion, I guess, dealing why I agree, I feel and more Recioto. Now I’m not putting it. Yeah, I’ll putting it on five.
Yes, being photographed and posting pictures of you, with other women who are not are in bikinis. And on that lake, it’s just it’s not. I don’t find that to be I just don’t care for that. I think that so I actually thought Kyle gave us a lot more than people gave her credit for on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. And she said a lot of things, you know, especially at the reunion, you know, just saying that raisio did something that was unforgivable, that we can’t come back from that we are separate. You know, she did say quite a bit and saying like, look, I wasn’t always ready to just admit what was going on which, again, I completely understand buying Beverly Hills, it stars, The Umansky family. And
they’re interestingly enough without it, although I say that, and I also wasn’t planning on tuning in, but that’s because there’s so much out right now. Yeah.
But Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is an ensemble cast with Kyle is one of the housewives so I am sure that financially, the family scene stands to gain more by giving more information to buying Beverly Hills. And I’m sure the point, right, I think it’s kind of a business decision. And it doesn’t surprise me. I also think the girls want fame and this is the vehicle so why wouldn’t they all give more to that show? So it just doesn’t feel that shocking to me.
It doesn’t feel that shocking to me either.
Yeah, so yeah, that’s a very good spin on it. Yeah.
I we were talking about this actually on Discord with the COC tailors. And I did think I’m like, I think Kyle gave us quite a bit and said a lot without saying exact words. And I don’t think I don’t know that it would be really classy to say in the reunion special, whatever it was at Murray’s to did, I really don’t think that level of detail is probably appropriate for us. Anyway, you know, so? I don’t know. I think yeah, I had no idea that Morgan Wade is not out either sash
again. That’s what someone said. But she does a music video where her love interest is a woman even if Kyle was a hired actress, that was her love interest in the right. Yeah, I just I don’t know. I. So the other thing is a lot of people are taking Kyle at her word that she won’t return. I’m told that she’s retired. Like she makes over a million dollars a year. She loves doing the show. Like, she’s my source has not heard that. That’s legit that she’s not returning. And I’m inclined to believe that source.
Yeah, I think all right, so
much happening in the Vanderpump Valley village that I don’t know that we are gonna get to it this pod but a couple of things. First of all, congratulations to Ariana on purchasing a $1.6 million beautiful home. Yeah, like, not the Valley, which there’s nothing wrong with the valley. Yeah.
Well, no, it’s not in that valley Village neighborhood, which is where the shared house was. I mean, it’s it’s six miles away. So you know, and if you’ve ever driven in LA, six miles can be more than an hour drive. You though, you know, I think she’s claiming her own space and moving on. I
say Good for her. And she’s catching a lot of heat this season for not cooperating. And I see both sides of it. As Lala pointed out last night, why oh, she’s got tons of brand deals. She’s in a position where she can move differently because she is not solely dependent on the show, which is going to complicate the friendships, and rightfully so. I mean, listen, if my sole income were our podcast as an example, and you also had the podcast, but you also had a television show. And you were on Broadway and you were doing ads for GLAAD garbage and Energizer batteries and everything else. And now you’re doing a Broadway show where everyone is seeing what a talent you are. So it’s just going to keep coming. You’re in a much different position than I am just having the podcast so I’m going to have To continue to smell the tea and the podcast and engage with people that you may be in a position to say, B, I don’t want to deal with them, so I can see both sides of it. You know, and I think that I think it’s going to be interesting to see Lala and Ariana is fight because what I saw, um, watch what happens prior to the blowout at the reunion because the reunion hadn’t been filmed yet, right? I saw Ariana sort of taking the stance like, Yeah, I’m not loving what I’m seeing. And I feel like I get why they’re doing it. I may not love it, but I love them. And they’re my friends. So I sort of feel like she understood their point of view. So I don’t know what was said at the reunion to really tip it into. Because we know I mean, Katie and Lala are I mean, excuse me, Katie and Ariana are on one side and then it’s like, Lila Katie, and kind of everybody got a mess up everyone’s name, Lila Sheena, and everybody else. So although Lala and Sheena haven’t publicly said they’re on the outs, but it’s kind of I’m sure there’s tension there. I don’t know. And I don’t listen, the show’s been going on how many years? And God 12 A lot. Yeah, and they’re definitely gonna get another season to wrap it up is what I was told when I shared on cocktail, you know, this week or last week. So there’s this season, they’ll definitely be a next season. And then we know that if Valley village does well, which it seems like it is going to do well, Lila and Sheena, have already been on that and they can transition right over to that. And I hope they get to a place where Ariana is like, Listen, I’m walking away from Vanderpump Rules and whether they see each other and they hang out or not. It’d be nice for them to like resolve it and not have beef because the beef isn’t about a true issue between them. It’s like everyone’s doing what’s best for themselves. And sometimes, sometimes it’d be like that, like, yeah, like I don’t think that Lalo or Sheena has any malice towards Ariana, there may be a little bit of envy, there may be a little bit of a feeling like I think it’s more so like, we got to do what we got to do, because we don’t have the same opportunities right now.
Yeah.
I have a lot of thoughts. And I don’t really know quite where I stand on this. Because watching the episode last night, we’re recording on a Wednesday today, Lala ghost Ariana, hey, I was at your house today. We saw Tom at the DJ thing last night. And he invited me to do this breathwork thing. I thought that felt like too much. But I did stop by. And we had a real moment, you know, and Mala says, you know, everybody should be able to evolve. And I agree with that. However, I cannot even imagine how that would have felt for Ariana to be like way, way. Wait, you’re my friend. And you she like Oh, you gotta punch to the gut. Yeah, like I. And it’s a tough situation because I get it lawless. Gotta feed her growing family. And yeah, part of the deal is keeping the show going. But I don’t blame Arianna. First of all, if she’s upset about that, but second of all, like Ariana doesn’t have to, kind of to your point earlier. She’s got a lot of stuff going on. But she also does not have to put up with Tom being repeated in literally in her light. I don’t. She doesn’t. And
right. Which is why she’ll probably walk from the show, I guess. I don’t know. Well, maybe she stays on it. And it stays awkward. I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know what decision she ultimately makes. I don’t know. There’s a lot to talk about with Vanderpump. And we will we’ll get to it next week because there’ll be more more happening. All right. And of course Valley village Jax is such a psycho. Oh my god, but he’s such good TV. I am such a loser. I can’t turn it off.
I made a fuck this up.
Like you definitely did. Everyone asked me about Brittany’s mouth, by the way. Yes, it was very distracting. But she also shared at the beginning of the episode. She had that thing on because she had Yeah, liposuction under her neck. So I just think it’s a result of that and it will go back.
Yeah, yeah, I kind of I noticed what people are saying and but again, like you, when you have any kind of surgery, especially around other muscles and stuff, you lose some feeling for a while. So right. I’m guessing that’s what’s going on.
I also wanted to just take a second to first thank Amanda for on Friday, mid day when I was on a girls weekend in Florida and the very sad news that Princess Kate is battling cancer came out and we had just released our podcast in which we speculated about her whereabouts and all that she got right on it and she deleted it and yes, our pod was only 36 minutes as a result of that most of you guys agreed with our decision. Some of you felt we shouldn’t have been speculating at all. I will say, we run a gossip account. And there’s always a thin line between gossiping and intruding. And as soon as we realized it was out of line, we scrapped it. I did not know, obviously, that that was the outcome, I do take responsibility for gossiping about her suffering through that. And I think it’s hard because we do want to talk about gossip. And that’s why you guys tune in. And that’s why you guys follow me on Insta and, and follow Amanda and I’s website and chat with us on Discord. And so it is tricky. And I hope that I hope you understand you know, where we’re at with it, and that, you know, when you know better you do better, and that’s what we did. And we appreciate the support, because most of you guys were like, Thank you, and you made the right move. And for those of you that nobody said to me, like, oh, what I still want to gossip about it, like every but some people did say, oh, that’s why you shouldn’t have been talking about it. But you know, like, I said it the first pod, this is not the Wall Street Journal. You know, we’re, we’re moms and we gossip. And we have people who sell us send us Intel. And I did here 10 minutes prior to the announcement that it was cancer. And I immediately took the post down and cut the had asked Amanda to cut the pod which she did and reposted it. And so it’s the best we could do. And so we appreciate your support in that decision. And you know, where people we make mistakes. And that’s it. Yeah,
and yeah, and thanks for thanks for bringing that up. I think. I will also say you guys have heard me talk about being in marketing. I also think that this is why having a skilled crisis communications person on your team is important because, yeah, it was real bumbled in the royal like the royal family. Nobody forced her to know all the details. And I’m not saying that. But I’m saying when there are a lot of things that just don’t add up. And you’re not.
Well, they blame the photoshopping on Kate, why they do that? Like?
Yeah, I just think there were a lot of things that were mishandled, which is why all of the wild speculation happened, I truly believe had the announcement in January come out. And then another update, just saying, you know, the situation was more complicated than we initially believed. The princesses, you know, is fine. She’s taking longer than expected to recover, but we expect a full recovery. I think that would have been all at Tuck. You know, and I just think it was I just think it was mishandled. I, once we found out like, like you said, that this was the this was what the real thing was, of course, we we took everything down, we cut it out of the podcast, out of respect. But like I said, I just I think there are this is why and Christ’s communicators are not people who just are spin doctors, right? It it. There are a lot of times where there is something going on that the public doesn’t need to know all of the little nitty gritty details. But crisis communicators also understand how things will look when you put out a photo that has been very, very badly photoshopped that’s going to add that’s going to raise more questions than it answers. So this is all I’m saying. Like this is when this is why it makes sense to have a skill crisis communicator, on your team, when there is when you are in the public eye. And you are going through something like this. I’m not saying you need to tell everybody everything at all. I’m just saying think about how the public will respond. And you know, anyway, and
of course, wishing her a full and speedy recovery and all the best and we certainly won’t be commenting on it anymore. Except we were not with a happy update when she announced that she’s cancer free. So Kate,
we’d love to see you ringing that bell or figuratively, which would mean that you’re cancer free. So we are all thinking about you. Love
