Real Housewives of Beverly Hills viewers are still reeling after Garcelle Beauvais walked out of the Season 14 reunion. No one, not even her supposed bestie Sutton Stracke, went out to follow her. Garcelle already announced her exit from RHOBH before part 3 of the reunion aired. But in the episode, viewers saw the exact moment she chose to quit.

Now, in addition to leaving the show, Garcelle unfollowed most of the RHOBH cast on Instagram. What made Garcelle unfollow her former co-stars? How did the RHOBH cast respond? Is there anyone Garcelle still follows from the show? We have the details and theories below.

Garcelle Beauvais unfollowed the RHOBH cast after Season 14 reunion walk-off

Garcelle herself said that “everybody jumped at me” at the Season 14 reunion. Even when she took accountability, the others wouldn’t let up. She was visibly exhausted. But she still waited until the end to leave, she just refused to partake in the cast photo.

After she walked off, Garcelle didn’t mince words about the other RHOBH cast members. “I can’t be friends with people like that,” the Jamie Foxx Show alum said. “I don’t trust them, and they obviously don’t like me.” She declared that they were all “f*cking assholes.”

Garcelle didn’t get to see how the others responded after she left. So, it’s possible that watching the cast’s reactions when the episode aired is what pushed her to hit unfollow. For instance, dismissing her issues as “child’s play.” Dorit Kemsley labeled her “unprofessional.” Garcelle and Dorit feuded for years, it wasn’t shocking that the Coming to America actress unfollowed her specifically.

For a while, Garcelle and Erika Jayne seemed to be getting on better terms, even sharing a kiss. But Erika’s shady comments and Garcelle’s responses to those comments put the kibosh on a potential friendship. At the reunion, Erika infamously said she wished Garcelle were more interesting. Garcelle responded, “That’s a sh*tty thing to say when I thought we were in a better place.” 

It probably didn’t help that Erika and Bozoma Saint John also came under fire for their attitudes about Garcelle on Watch What Happens Live. And all season long, Kyle Richards and Erika repeatedly singled out Garcelle for not showing her “real life.”

It wasn’t terribly surprising that Garcelle unfollowed the others. But Sutton was supposed to be Garcelle’s bestie. However, the reunion showed how Sutton failed Garcelle. The Spider-Man: Homecoming actress repeatedly hoped Sutton would have her back, but was left to fend for herself. When she was asked a question about Sutton, Garcelle clearly had enough. She chose to stand up for herself in response to the question instead.

During Season 14, viewers also saw Garcelle support Sutton during a difficult visit with her mother, Reba. When Garcelle mentioned this at the reunion, Sutton changed the subject to her friendliness with Erika. Considering Erika’s cruel reunion comment to Garcelle, which she vented about to Sutton backstage, it must’ve felt like a slap in the face.

To cap things off, instead of following her friend, Sutton stayed to take the cast photo. She told the others she didn’t understand why Garcelle left. By comparison, when Sutton had her health scare at the Season 13 reunion, Garcelle went along to keep her company.

This year, Sutton was shocked to see that Garcelle left the studio instead of waiting for her. In that moment, the Southern belle seemed a bit obtuse to just how upset Garcelle was when she walked off.

How did the RHOBH cast respond after Garcelle Beauvais unfollowed?

After news broke that Garcelle unfollowed the RHOBH cast, Season 14 newbie Boz posted on Instagram. On her stories, Boz wrote, “Imagine being mad at me, but I’m just basking in God’s favor.” Some RHOBH fans wondered if Boz’s post was intended as shade towards Garcelle.

Meanwhile, Sutton directly addressed Garcelle’s unfollowing her. She released a statement, where Sutton noted that Garcelle unfollowed all the Beverly Hills Housewives. “I can only imagine that she needs a clean break right now,” Sutton responded. “I love her and am giving her the space she needs.” As for Garcelle’s post-RHOBH journey, Sutton added, “I know that she is going to move through this next chapter with grace and success.”

Who does Garcelle Beauvais still follow from RHOBH?

Garcelle may be done with the main Housewives, but she still follows RHOBH Season 14 “friends of” Kathy Hilton and Jennifer Tilly. Viewers couldn’t help but notice Garcelle’s side eye when Jennifer gave a toast that the “best ships are friendships.” But while she wasn’t feeling that in the moment, it appears Garcelle has no beef with the Oscar nominee. This aligns with many RHOBH viewers, who gushed that Jennifer was one of the highlights of Season 14. The kooky, ultra-rich, and hilarious movie star was a refreshing presence at the tense reunion. Of course, it’s interesting to note that Jennifer is Sutton’s BFF.

At first, Garcelle continued to follow some of Sutton’s business accounts, such as The Sutton Concept. However, Garcelle later unfollowed those accounts as well. We’ll have to wait and see if their friendship can come back from this. In the meantime, Garcelle still follows their mutual friend/former RHOBH co-star Crystal Kung Minkoff. Should fans expect a tell-all appearance on Crystal’s podcast?

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is available to stream on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland.

Real Housewives of Miami star Larsa Pippen has a new man in her life. She confirmed her new romance with Jeff Coby this week. And this Larsa dating news comes just in time for the new season of RHOM, which is set to premiere soon. Andy Cohen has already promised it is a scorcher.

Larsa’s new relationship with Jeff comes after her dramatic split and on-again/off-again rollercoaster with Marcus Jordan. Of course, that romance was always controversial. Her new relationship with Jeff certainly doesn’t have that much of a dramatic backstory. Here’s everything we know so far about the new man Larsa’s dating.

We first found out about the new man in Larsa’s life in late March. That’s when the House of Villains contestant was spotted with Jeff at RHOM co-star Marysol Patton’s birthday party. While Larsa and Jeff arrived at the event separately, a fellow partygoer reported that the two were holding hands. The source said Larsa and Jeff were “cute” together. The onlooker added that Larsa was “glowing” and “seemed really happy” with her new man.

That initial birthday party sighting sparked dating speculation, though it wasn’t clear if they were a couple or just having a good time. But the couple did a hard launch, so to speak, in mid-April. Larsa and Jeff were spotted engaging in public displays of affection in a Miami parking garage. When those pictures came out, a source confirmed that Larsa and Jeff have been dating since January. The insider made sure to emphasize how happy Larsa is with her new boyfriend.

At this time, Larsa has yet to publicly comment on her relationship with Jeff. But on April 16, the couple made their official red carpet debut by attending the premiere of The Accountant 2.

Larsa Pippen’s new boyfriend Jeff Coby: Age, career, and other details

Now that Larsa and Jeff confirmed they’re dating, RHOM fans are naturally curious to learn more about her new boyfriend. Especially his age, considering Larsa’s habit of dating younger guys since her divorce from Scottie Pippen. To start, Jeff Coby is a 31-year-old 6-foot-8 basketball player. By comparison, Larsa is 50, so they have a 19-year age gap. A tall and much younger guy who is also a basketball player … Jeff certainly seems to fit Larsa’s type!

Jeff is a Haitian-American former athlete. While both of his parents are Haitian, Jeff was born and raised in Florida, where he played high school basketball. He attended Columbia University, where he played basketball for the Columbia Lions. In his senior year of college, Jeff was named Columbia’s defensive player of the year. Jeff graduated from the university in 2017 with a degree in art history and sociology.

In his professional career, Jeff played basketball in Spain, Luxembourg, Japan, and the Dominican Republic. He’s also played for the Haitian national basketball team. He was added to the Knicks’ training roster in 2018 and signed with the Austin Spurs in 2019.

At this time, Jeff’s social media is private. It’s unclear if it was already that way before, or if he changed it after his romance with Larsa went public.

What happened between Larsa Pippen and ex Marcus Jordan?

While they dated for over a year, Larsa and Marcus were always a controversial couple. But their relationship led to a joint appearance on The Traitors Season 2. As well as a short-lived podcast.

Things with Marcus started to go south when he threw a backstage tantrum at the RHOM Season 6 reunion. That led to a brief split. But they got back together so quickly, Larsa’s own co-stars weren’t sure if that breakup was ever for real. Ultimately, Larsa and Marcus called things off again during the summer of 2024. Afterwards, Marcus landed in hot water when he was arrested for drug possession and a DUI. He eventually admitted to a substance abuse problem.

After they split for good, Larsa swore she was better off without Marcus, claiming she slept “like a baby.” She also expressed her wish to date a “boss” next. We’ll have to wait and see if Jeff is the “boss” she’s been waiting for.

Real Housewives of Miami is available to stream on Peacock, it’s also available on Hayu in the UK and Ireland.

What Are the Original RHONY Cast Doing Now? https://www.realitytea.com/2025/04/17/what-are-original-rhony-cast-doing-now/ https://www.realitytea.com/2025/04/17/what-are-original-rhony-cast-doing-now/#respond Thu, 17 Apr 2025 13:00:00 +0000 https://www.realitytea.com/?p=901646 What the RHONY OGs are up to today.

The post What Are the Original RHONY Cast Doing Now? appeared first on Reality Tea.

It’s hard to imagine now, but RHONY was only the second Real Housewives franchise when it premiered in 2008. The original Real Housewives of New York cast had a tall order to fill the shoes of RHOC, while creating a very different feeling franchise all its own. And the OG Real Housewives of New York ladies absolutely nailed the assignment.

RHONY is also the first, and so far only, Real Housewives city to undergo a full cast reboot. However, many loyal viewers will never let go of the OG cast. Over seventeen years after the first season premiered, what are the original Real Housewives of New York gang up to now?

RHONY original Bethenny Frankel is making a killing on TikTok, and trying to start a Reality Reckoning

Bethenny Frankel was unquestionably the breakout original RHONY star. As the only unmarried Housewife in the original RHONY cast, she was a bit of an underdog (though she didn’t love that label). From the first season, fans saw her attempt to grow her own Skinnygirl business. She had a quick wit, an interesting backstory, and was willing to call out her co-stars. Eventually, this led to a spin-off and her own talk show.

However, Bethenny eventually had a huge falling out with Andy Cohen and Bravo as a whole. She keeps trying to start a Reality Reckoning, after coining the phrase. It mostly had fits and starts, but her recent podcast interview with a former Real Housewives producer showed she’s still determined to take Bravo down.

Aside from reality TV, Bethenny has built quite a successful career on TikTok, where she has 2.8 million followers. She’s an influencer on the app, and her videos include product recommendations, hot takes, RHONY behind-the-scenes secrets, and a war with Chanel (one of her many high profile feuds). Bethenny is still as unapologetic and opinionated as the day RHONY viewers met her.

Jill Zarin is a proud mom, and is feuding with multiple Bravo stars

Zarin Fabrics matriarch Jill Zarin had a personality as fiery as her red hair. In the first season, she appeared to already be close friends with Bethenny. However, B insists none of the original RHONY cast members were friends before the show.

As one of the original RHONY cast members, Jill courted controversy early on. She received criticism for sending her daughter Ally Shapiro to a weight loss camp. Speaking of Ally, Jill made headlines last year for dominating the attention at her daughter’s engagement party. Ally’s relationship ultimately didn’t work out, and Ally gushed over her mom’s support. Afterward, Ally sparked romance rumors with Leo from Love Is Blind.

Her mom had less luck forming relationships with other reality personalities. Instead, Jill’s TV pursuits post-RHONY led to feuds with other Bravo stars. Including the entire cast of Below Deck Season 11. She also competed on The Goat. Jill feuded with Shahs of Sunset alum Reza Farahan. But dismissed him in the press as a “fan” who imagined their feud. Also, her appearance on The Goat inspired Jill to get a facelift.

Alex McCord is pursuing her PhD, and made a return to Real Housewives fans will (probably) never see

Alex McCord was a bit of an outsider in the original RHONY cast. And not just because of where she lived. Say it with me, everyone: “While you are in high school, I am in Brooklyn! Just trying to survive in this economy!”

Of course, we can’t talk about Alex without mentioning Simon. The quirky couple are still together, recently celebrating their 24th wedding anniversary. Remember Alex and Simon’s boys, Francois and Johan? In the original RHONY seasons, Alex and Simon were determined to get their sons into the best preschools. Now, they’re all grown up and attending University! Alex regularly posts about how proud she is of her boys on her Instagram.

Another thing she posts about on social media is her PhD research. She specializes in adolescent eating disorders. Also, through her research, fans discovered her real first name is Sara.

Alex returned to Real Housewives with the Ultimate Girls’ Trip. However, due to the allegations between Brandi Glanville and Caroline Manzo, it’s a season that will likely never air.

Luann de Lesseps is enjoying life as a cabaret after being a RHONY original cast member

Has any Real Housewife had more of a character arc than RHONY OG Luann de Lesseps? When we first met Luann, she was a married Countess who chided Bethenny for being too casual with a driver. God forbid Bethenny not introduce her as Mrs. de Lesseps! Let’s also not forget her original RHONY tagline: “I never feel guilty about being privileged.” A few seasons in, Luann grew into the woman who taught us all, “Be cool. Don’t be all, like, uncool.”

After her divorce from the Count, Luann branched out into a singing career. Eventually becoming the cabaret star we adore today. And after her disastrous short-lived marriage to Tom D’Agostino, she fully embraced a maneater reputation. Her scandalous hook-up with Joe Bradley was, to quote the Southern Hospitality cast, iconic.

In addition to her successful cabaret show, Luann guest starred on Murdoch Mysteries. Next up, Luann will appear on Love Hotel. Maybe someday we’ll get another edition of Luann & Sonja: Welcome to Crappie Lake.

Ramona Singer is editing her photos heavily and hanging out with POTUS after her RHONY journey

Ramona Singer joined the original RHONY cast with a long career in fashion and a seemingly idyllic marriage to Mario Singer. While a lot changed since her first RHONY season, Ramona did unleash her infamous Ramonacoaster side early on.

Ramona’s history of problematic behavior was one of the reasons the original RHONY got put on pause. Ultimately, Bravo chose to reboot. Ramona returned for RHONY: Legacy. However, she was fired for racial misconduct. And banned from the premiere, though she showed up anyways.

These days, Ramona spends most of her time in Mar-a-Lago. She still courts controversy. And not just because of her close association with the President. Recently, Ramona was called out for extreme FaceTune. But insisted it wasn’t her fault. Instead, she put the blame on one of her gay friends. That’s the Ramonacoaster!

Real Housewives of New York is available to stream on Peacock.

Netflix continues to expand its reality TV offerings with Battle Camp, a new competition series. But while the show is new, the contestants should be familiar faces to Netflix viewers. The Battle Camp cast includes stars from The Mole, Too Hot To Handle, Squid Game: The Challenge, and more. Here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming series streaming on Netflix.

The Battle Camp cast returning to Netflix

18 Netflix stars are set to compete on the streaming service’s new crossover series. And there are some pretty notable alums in the mix. For instance, remember Love Is Blind Season 4 villain Irina? She was infamous both as the season’s mean girl and for her disastrous courtship with Zac. Irina claims she’s done a lot of work on herself in the last two years. But she may have to reach into that more ruthless side to beat the competition.

Also onboard for her first competition series is Lexi from The Ultimatum: Queer Love. She jokes that she’ll bring “brains, brawn, and definitely a lot of boobs” to the campground.

There are also plenty of Too Hot To Handle alums at the camp, including Season 6 winner Bri and Season 5 and 6 rule breaker Louis. Too Hot To Handle alums Chase and Georgia also signed on. They previously crossed paths on Season 1 of Perfect Match, which Georgia won. Another Perfect Match Season 1 star in the cast is Nick from The Circle Season 3.

While there’s plenty of dating show alums, a lot of the campers are from Netflix’s other competition series. From The Mole, we have fan favorite gamer Avori and Season 2 villain Tony. Squid Game: The Challenge’s Lorenzo and Trey, as well as Cheer’s Gabi and Morgan, also know their way around a fierce competition.

Kyle is ready to reclaim victory after he didn’t win The Circle Season 6. His co-star Quori-Tyler, aka QT, is at the Battle Camp as well. Another The Circle star onboard is Shubham from Seasons 1 and 5.

Selling The OC stars Gio and Polly are taking time away from the Oppenheim Group for Battle Camp. This competition should be as stressful as an average day at that dramatic Orange County office!

What’s the Battle Camp release date on Netflix?

All 10 episodes of Battle Camp Season 1 will be released April 23 on Netflix. Each episode includes challenges, punishments, and group votes. In the final episode, one victor will receive the $250k cash prize. They’ll also receive bragging rights, as Battle Camp will determine who is the best competitor in the Netflix Reality Universe (or NRU). To get to the final stage, the Netflix stars will have to fight tooth and nail.

As Netflix stars arrive at camp in the premiere, they’re assigned one of three teams: Wolves, Bears, and Eagles. After that, another day at camp is never a guarantee. Instead, they’ll have to earn themselves a continued stay. Also, at the end of each day, contestants’ names will end up on a spinning wheel that determines who goes home. To avoid the “wheel of misfortune,” the stars will have to ace the competition and make alliances with their fellow Netflix campgoers.

Simply put, this isn’t your average summer camp. Nor is it a kumbaya, bonding retreat, or glamping experience!

What else do we know about Netflix’s Battle Camp?

Battle Camp is hosted by Taylor Lewan. You may know Taylor as co-host of the Bussin’ with the Boys podcast. He’s also a former NFL player. On this show, the host also serves as camp counselor. So, Taylor will also be charged with overseeing the chaos and attempting to reign it in. Considering the Netflix stars who are on the campground, and the major cash prize at stake, good luck with that!

The first trailer is set to be released on April 7. Before we get that official first look, Netflix is teasing that this could be its toughest competition yet. According to Tudum, the stars will be pushed “to their absolute limits.” As Netflix puts it, “They’ll need to be unbeatable in high-octane challenges, unbreakable as they face grueling punishments, and last but certainly not least, unhateable in camp.” Let the crossover chaos commence!

Battle Camp premieres April 23 on Netflix.

Paige DeSorbo has responded to the news of Craig Conover moving on after their split. It was recently confirmed that the Southern Charm OG is in a new relationship with Natalie Buffett. This comes after the Summer House star broke up with him around Thanksgiving. The Bravo crossover couple were together for over three years after meeting on Winter House.

While Craig didn’t say his new girlfriend’s name at the time, he did announce the relationship with Natalie on Watch What Happens Live. Craig confirmed that he was only dating one person. And said that “everything happens for a reason.” How did Paige react to the news that Craig has a new girlfriend? Also, what’s the status of her own dating life after their split?

How did Paige DeSorbo react to the news Craig Conover is dating Natalie Buffet?

A source told Us Weekly that “Paige isn’t fazed by Craig dating” Natalie Buffet. In fact, the source claimed that the Summer House star is too busy to even think too much about Craig or his new relationship with Natalie. Instead, Paige is preoccupied with focusing on her career and her personal life.

The news that Craig moved on came as a bit of a surprise to Bravo fans. Before then, most of the focus was on whether or not Paige had already moved on to a new relationship. In December, Paige was spotted with Joe D’Amelio at an Eagles game. She was also rumored to attend the Super Bowl with him. One report even claimed that Paige and Joe were already “getting serious.”

Craig and his Southern Charm co-stars shaded Paige for seemingly moving on with Joe so quickly. Craig even refused to defend Paige against rumors she cheated on him with Joe. However, at the Southern Charm reunion, he confirmed he asked her if there was another guy and that she said no. Paige, for her part, emphatically denied cheating on Craig. In a Summer House preview, she accused him of texting two other girls during their relationship.

So, now that Craig has moved on with his new girlfriend Natalie Buffett, what’s the status of Paige’s own love life?

The Us Weekly article also touched on Paige’s stance on dating now that she’s single. However, the source didn’t mention Joe’s name in their comments to Us Weekly. Instead, the insider insisted that Paige isn’t seriously dating anyone right now. According to the source, the Summer House fashionista “has been open to dating again, but is really focused on work.”

They added, “It will take someone extremely special to be able to tie her down.” But she’s got plenty of options. “She’s a hot commodity and people are always trying to date her,” the insider continued. We saw this on Summer House, as her co-star Jesse Solomon flirted with Paige even while she was still dating Craig. Also, she and Carl Radke had a pantry thing during her first season.

“Paige is super motivated, and career-focused and doesn’t want to be bogged down in a relationship right now,” the insider added. After her three-year relationship with Craig, she’s not interested in settling down with another super-serious relationship. At least not right away. During her previous relationship, she expressed hesitancy about getting married and having kids. Even though Craig claims she asked him to buy her an engagement ring. At this time, “Paige wants to have a fun summer and is doing what she wants right now.”

How Paige DeSorbo is focusing on her career after her breakup with Craig Conover

Paige’s career-focused mindset was a bit of an issue in her relationship with Craig. It comes up a lot in their arguments on this current season on Summer House. But amidst their breakup, her career is doing better than ever. Both on her own and as part of the Giggly Squad with former Summer House co-star Hannah Berner. Their podcast recently launched both Paige and Hannah to new levels of success.

In recent months, Paige and Hannah co-hosted the Oscars Afterparty red carpet. They also booked an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. Additionally, Paige recently starred in her own Tresemme commercial and she still has a show with Amazon. She continues to work with major fashion brands, such as launching a shoe collection with DSW.

Also, while she’s not looking for a serious relationship, she did make a big decision in her personal life. Recently, she opened up about freezing her eggs. It’s clear Paige is living life on her own terms at the moment.

Summer House is available to stream on Peacock.

Southern Charm wraps up Season 10 with Episode 17, “Reunion Part 2.” On Part 1 last week, Craig continued to make wild claims about his breakup with Paige. Shep insisted things didn’t work with Sienna because he wasn’t rich enough. Andy followed that up by joking that Sienna would join them on the reunion stage. JT and Madison apologized to each other, but his extra comments dampened the moment. JT accused Venita of ghosting him after they briefly dated. She left to get her phone for the receipts, then Andy teased it was probably about to get worse.

What happened on Southern Charm Season 10 Episode 17?

Venita and JT hash things out. Miss Patricia makes her first reunion appearance to celebrate a decade of Southern Charm. Salley and Taylor continue to fight about Gaston. Molly shares that Whitney apologized for his cupcake comment. Craig and Austen get into the deep issues behind their friendship woes.

When Venita grabs her phone, she reveals the exact texts between her and JT. His last two texts were sent when she was at a friend’s wedding, so she didn’t have her phone anyway. The most damning reveal is that, at 1:30 pm the next day after his last text to her, he went Instagram official with his girlfriend. At that time, he and Venita hadn’t spoken for a week after going on dates every single day for a month. JT insists his post wasn’t a way to get Venita back for ghosting him.

I remain confused by the timeline and this whole situation in general. But I think it’s fair for Venita to be upset JT went public with his girlfriend after she needed a week to herself. Especially when she took that break because the girl made nasty comments calling her a “rat.” Personally, the fact that he went from daily dates with Venita to Instagram official with someone else in only one week seems very fast. It made me wonder if JT ever really broke up with his girlfriend at all. I’m sure Venita has similar questions.

Venita admits that she still wants to be friends with JT despite everything. Then, in a moment that made many cringe, she also admits she still wants to date him. Venita, you deserve better! I wonder if she still feels that way after their latest back and forth.

On a break, Venita brings him a drink as a truce. He jokes that he’ll risk his life by drinking the sugar. A producer calls them out for flirting, which they deny.

Breaking down JT’s conspiracy theories and Craig’s relationship with the truth

Andy’s as confused by JT and Venita as the rest of us. So he moves on to the other issues with JT. Madison and Austen joke about their matching polka dots, which JT seems to believe indicates an affair. As for the rumors Austen cheated on Audrey, Leva explains it was a timeline confusion. Austen met Audrey the summer before when he was still dating other girls. However, he and Audrey didn’t start dating until six months after they met. Austen also says he’s in love with Audrey. Madison approves.

Unaired footage of the conspiracy theory golf outing reveals that JT had a lot more to say about Austen. Shep scolds JT for playing “moral police” about holding Austen accountable. But there’s still no proof of him calling Miss Patricia a b*tch. Still, Madison, Austen, Salley, and Craig believe he did.

Craig claims he’s never lied on camera. Going through the montage of his untruths, he has explanations. He insists he did apply for the bar, but was rejected. He also says he did walk at graduation, but was missing a credit. When Andy argues that he still lied about graduating, Craig argues, “Well, define graduating.” Shep tells Craig it’s okay if he admits to lying at the time. After all, it was during that troubled stage. But Craig “would never say something that can impeach me” when filming. Didn’t Craig have a lifestyle coach once where he revealed what an incredible liar and manipulator he is? Anyway …

A look back at the beginning of Southern Charm

Miss Patricia’s arrival onstage brings us down memory lane of the Southern Charm origins. We see Craig, Whitney, Shep, and Patricia’s 2013 casting tapes. Craig, then a law student, said he wanted to be an attorney because he loves money. He also said his future wife hadn’t been born yet. When Andy asks about that, Craig says, “I don’t even know that guy.”

Shep said his window for settling down just opened and would close in 15, 10, or 12 years. Producers note that it has already been 12 years!

Patricia’s tape includes a cameo from Michael. It shows her looking fabulous while lounging, and chiding the guys for not being married yet. Some things don’t change!

Before she goes, Miss Pat stands by her comments about Paige, calling her “dismissive bordering on rude.” Also, she’s given up on giving the guys advice.

Salley and Taylor duke it out at the Southern Charm reunion

Taylor and Salley’s overlap with guys comes up. Salley’s not with Andrew anymore. The one thing she will agree with Taylor on? “That dude is weird.”

Then we get to Gaston. Taylor says they’ve been together for a year and a half. She’s convinced they’ll get married someday, maybe soon. She accuses Salley of bad-mouthing Gaston to the group before she had a chance to introduce him. And taking advantage of her fractured friendship with the girls to “infiltrate” her own friend group.

Salley claims she had a right to tell people how Gaston treated her. She adds Taylor and Gaston are still running their mouths around town about her. Andy asks if Salley would ever want to be friends with Taylor. She says not while Taylor is with Gaston. “Then I guess we’ll never be friends,” Taylor responds.

What happened to the ring Craig bought Paige?

Craig, Shep, and Austen continue to put a lot of blame on Paige, both for the fractured friendships and for the breakup itself. As a viewer, this is frustrating to watch. Including the part where they speculate on whether she moved on. For his part, Andy won’t say what he thinks, joking it’s an “HR issue.”

Craig says he isn’t ready to start dating yet. Something must’ve changed since he has a new girlfriend. Meanwhile, Madison sends him girls via his DMs.

Ultimately, Craig admits he was in love with a fantasy, and ignored the reality. Perhaps that’s why he missed the signs. In the meantime, he’s going to give the four-carat ring back to the jeweler.

Why is the Southern Charm cast scared of Craig?

Up next, the cast analyzes Austen and Craig’s friendship woes. Craig finally sticks up for Paige, saying she’s not a mean girl because she mocked Austen after the poolside confrontation. Instead, she was sticking up for Craig.

Austen admits he’s “terrified” of Craig’s temper, which Craig says he’s working on. The rest of the cast agree they’re scared of Craig, at least sometimes.

Austen calls out Craig for his jabs. Madison told Austen that Craig doesn’t respect him. After a long pause, Craig says he does. Rodrigo adds that Austen often feels judged by Craig. Craig says that if Austen feels that way, then they shouldn’t hang out anymore. This shocks Venita, who calls Craig out for his attitude towards his friends. Austen says he gets “backhanded” by Craig for “stepping out of line.” Craig responds, “I can’t control the way you perceive my actions.” Shep calls that “gaslighting.”

Craig and Austen agree they understood each other better after Craig opened up about his drinking problem. Andy commends Craig for this. So does Austen, who tells Craig he loves him. Craig promises to work on himself so the others aren’t scared of him. Andy advises Austen to be more communicative, and Craig less judgy. He hands the floor to Shep, who ends the reunion, and season, with a speech reminding the cast they’re all family.

Southern Charm is available to stream on Peacock.

Welcome to the recap for Southern Charm Season 10, Episode 16, Reunion Part 1! Last week on the Southern Charm Season 10 finale, Venita believed JT when he denied the racism allegations. However, Ryan stood by his side of the story. Molly went as Shep’s date to the Summer Soiree. They kissed at the party … and did more than kiss after. Taylor talked about Salley behind her back again but walked away when Salley tried to confront her about it. After the finale, Venita and JT began dating … until he went Instagram official with his girlfriend. Five months later, Craig vented to Austen and Shep about his breakup with Paige. He claimed she asked him to buy her a ring before they split.

Andy compares Venita to Diana Ross, and I agree! She wins best dressed at the reunion. Madison’s entrance serves as a pregnancy announcement to the group. Rodrigo also announces his engagement to Tyler after ten years of dating. Craig shares a lot about his split from Paige and insists he was blindsided. Madison and Venita both confront JT, to mixed results. We also get an update on Shep and Molly’s connection after their finale kiss. And Venita finally gives a timeline of her and JT’s relationship.

Craig makes some bold claims about his breakup with Paige on the Southern Charm reunion

Craig insists there were no signs of trouble before Paige broke up with him. She did it over the phone two days after Thanksgiving. It was just before he and Austen did a live show. Craig didn’t tell Austen because he didn’t trust him not to tell the world.

Andy mentions Craig saying they were still together on the December 12, 2024 episode of Watch What Happens Live. Was Craig lying?

Craig maintains he bought a ring and agreed to move to New York. So, he didn’t think the breakup was real. He went to her apartment after that WWHL appearance. That’s when Paige allegedly said, “I might be making the worst mistake of my life but I need to go find myself.” She told him to keep the ring, and said, “Maybe we’ll get married at BravoCon.” Andy jokes that’s not a bad idea.

She stayed in touch through December. Then she gave him a heads-up about announcing the split on her podcast. And then all of Craig’s stuff showed up on his porch. That’s when it finally sunk in.

Despite what Paige said, Craig maintains it wasn’t mutual. He also shades Paige’s public behavior and social media activity since the breakup, saying he doesn’t recognize her. Rodrigo says Paige “lives in the comments.”

Andy asks if Paige broke up with Craig for another guy. Craig says Paige denied it. Then she said some “crazy stuff.” Allegedly, Paige asked why he didn’t try to win her back. She also said they made the right decision, which frustrated him because he didn’t make that decision. Ultimately, Craig says, “I wish she had just been honest from the beginning, and then none of this would be happening.”

Madison versus JT

Madison is doing great, between her pregnancy and Brett’s good health. But she’s still mad over JT’s implication about the FaceTime call. JT says the call made him uncomfortable but wants to avoid the nitty-gritty details out of respect for Madison. Venita fires back, “You didn’t come here to look cute, just answer the question.” Salley also accuses JT of making accusations and then not giving details. Finally, JT says it was a lot of questions about whereabouts and who Madison was with. Madison fires back that JT was trying to make Brett look like a jealous person. But if he was, she argues, she wouldn’t be on a show with her ex.

Venita is on Madison’s side, whereas Leva sees both sides. Leva also says the problem was that Craig blew what JT said out of proportion. When she tries to ask Craig a question, they keep interrupting each other, which leads Craig to mouth off, “You’ve said more today than you did the whole season!”

Madison does agree it was blown out of proportion and apologizes for going too far. JT also apologizes for gossiping. But just when the friendship seems back on, he adds that Madison would’ve felt uncomfortable if she were in his position. His apology seemingly ruined, Madison calls him “delulu” before they move on.

Is Molly a better fit for Shep than Sienna?

Andy commends Shep for cleaning up his act since BravoCon 2023. But he also asks about the “slow motion car crash” relationship with Sienna. Andy reminds Shep that he once said he wouldn’t still be chasing after twenty-something girls in his forties. And, of course, brings up the infamous text. Everyone cringes, but Molly says it was a powerful move for Shep to be vulnerable. Austen also “respects it.”

Shep maintains that Sienna got the ick because he’s not rich enough. In fact, he claims that she met a Denver Broncos player when she was pitching a business idea at a Forbes event. Shep also reveals he recently spoke to Sienna, who was mad at him for sharing intimate details.

Molly is very supportive of Shep and down on Sienna, which leads Andy to ask about their connection. They admit they hooked up one other time after the finale. But nothing’s official, especially since Shep was away for months. Andy asks Molly about Shep’s track record, but she says she can look beyond a person’s past mistakes if they work on themselves. Madison jokes that Shep better be nervous if he hurts Molly.

What happened between Venita and JT?

Venita says people who think her and JT’s relationship was fake can “f*ck off.” He agrees. They dated for about a month, though they never “banged it out.” When asked why he kept his girlfriend a secret for so long, JT stumbles over his words. But he says Venita knew the whole time. “Don’t do me like that,” she responds, denying it.

Andy asks if JT became the f*ckboy after performing that “f*ckboy exorcism” on Austen last year. Venita agrees. “Well I didn’t f*ck her, so, I don’t think I am,” JT says. That was uncalled for!

The cast reveals that JT’s girlfriend was making negative comments about him all over the internet weeks before they went Instagram official. JT says they weren’t together at the time.

That’s when Venita gives the much-needed timeline. In September, JT told her he wasn’t seeing that girl anymore. Then he and Venita started going on dates almost daily, trying to figure out if they would be boyfriend and girlfriend. Then the teaser dropped, and the girl DM’d Venita calling her a “rat.” When Venita asked JT to do something about it, he said he couldn’t. That made Venita pump the breaks. But JT accuses her of ghosting him for a week.

He claims he tried to meet up with her. Venita denies this and gets up to grab her phone. Molly quotes Heather Gay, getting excited for the “Receipts! Proof! Screenshots! Timeline!” But we leave off on a cliffhanger, so we’ll have to see those next week in Part 2.

Southern Charm Season 10 continues next week with the Reunion Part 2.

New episodes of Love on the Spectrum will be available to stream on Netflix very soon! The Emmy-award-winning documentary series returns for Season 3. There are several dating series on Netflix, but Love on the Spectrum is unique. The show follows people on the Autism spectrum who are looking for love. In some instances, individuals embark on the dating scene for the very first time. Additionally, the cast includes some returning faces who are ready to keep pursuing their happily ever after. Here’s everything you need to know about Love on the Spectrum Season 3.

Love on the Spectrum Season 3 will be available to stream on Netflix starting April 2, 2025. For any new viewers looking to catch up before then, the first two seasons of Love on the Spectrum are already available to stream on Netflix. Season 1 had six episodes, while Season 2 had seven. It’s expected that Season 3 will have the same amount.

In addition to the US edition, Love on the Spectrum Australia is also available to stream on Netflix.

Love on the Spectrum Season 3 trailer

Netflix released a trailer for Love on the Spectrum Season 3 ahead of the April 2 premiere. The trailer starts with producer Cian O’Clery asking new and returning cast members what traits they’re looking for in an ideal partner. “I mean there’s like eight billion people in the world,” says newcomer Peri, “somebody’s gotta be the right one for me.”

As the narration says, “Finding love can be hard for anyone.” However, “for some people, it can feel like an impossible dream.” Season 3 will continue to follow young individuals on the autism spectrum as “they navigate the confusing world of relationships and dating.”

The trailer shows the ups and downs viewers can expect from Love on the Spectrum Season 3. There’s some tears and dates that don’t go well. At one point, newcomer Madison tells someone they’re not a romantic match.

But there are also plenty of laughs and romantic-looking dates and lots of smooching. At the end of the trailer, someone jokes they’ll have to “get the hose out on you two” to a happily making out couple.

Season 3 features both new and returning Love on the Spectrum cast members. Couple Abbey Romeo and David Isaacman are still together, and returning for Season 3. Other returning favorites include Tanner Smith, James Jones, Dani Bowman, Adnan Correa, and Connor Tomlinson.

The newcomers this season are Madison Marilla and Pari Kim. Madison was inspired to join the show after watching the previous two seasons. “Abbey and David’s love story made me think finding love for people who have autism is possible,” Madison told Tudum. In the trailer, she’s seen reassuring herself that she’ll find her prince. The 27-year-old wants to find someone who shares her values and is “conversational and fun to be around.”

Meanwhile, Pari joined the Netflix series to show off her unique personality and inspire others on the spectrum. She also wants to dismantle stereotypes, including about age and gender. For instance, she wants to show it’s cool to like both trains and Disney princess films. The 22-year-old dated men in the past, but is interested in dating women on Love on the Spectrum Season 3. “I feel much more comfortable dating girls and women,” she says, “it’s a better match for me.” She’s looking for a relationship full of “love, support, kindness, comfort, trust, understanding, and loyalty.”

Also returning this season is relationship coach Jennifer Cook. She’s a neurodiversity expert and author who guides the cast members throughout their dating journeys.

What to expect from Netflix’s Love on the Spectrum Season 3

Season 3 will continue to follow the journeys of fan-favorite stars. Such as Abbey and David, who reach new milestones in their relationship.

Some Love on the Spectrum cast members gave hints on what viewers can expect from Season 3. For instance, Tanner emphasized wanting viewers to see his growth and maturity in Season 3. “I want people to know that autistic people are not always stuck being the same way,” he explained. “We grow and change just like everyone else.” Adnan says he wants people to see “everything” about his new stage in Season 3, including his career success.

Meanwhile, James is “very excited” for viewers to see the next stage of his dating journey. He added that at this point, he is now “fairly certain of what I am seeking in a romantic partner.” So is Connor, who had a “whirlwind of experiences” after Season 2, including traveling and even singing on Broadway. Dani says she’s had to learn that life isn’t like a rom-com. She’s learned to expand her horizons and to look beyond the previously narrow parameters she used to have for potential matches.

Relationship coach Jennifer Cook also spoke about the differences in journeys for returning cast members and newcomers this season. Newcomers will focus on communication, “creating reciprocity in conversation, active listening, asking questions that show your interest.” For the returning cast, she wants to help them “find some joy in learning what you bring to the table, and not shying away from that.”

Love on the Spectrum is available to stream on Netflix.

Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 16’s new Housewife Shamea Morton often gushes over her husband Gerald Mwangi. The couple are certainly poised to be Atlanta royalty and a new Bravo power duo. Shamea is a successful multi-talented threat herself, working as a radio personality, a singer, and a dancer. The former RHOA Friend Of is also an actress whose credits include Will Trent and the classic movie Drumline. She was an Atlanta Hawks cheerleader from 2003 to 2014 and was on the Atlanta Falcons cheerleading squad for five seasons as well.

Meanwhile, Gerald is clearly quite the mover and shaker in his own right. As RHOA viewers saw with their gorgeous estate in the Season 16 premiere. Not to mention, when he gifted his wife a Rolls Royce for her birthday. Here’s everything you need to know about Shamea Morton’s husband Gerald Mwangi.

Who is Shamea Morton’s husband, Gerald Mwangi?

Shamea Morton has been with her husband Gerald Mwangi for over a decade now. The lovebirds met in October 2014 and were married in 2017.

Before he met Shamea, Gerald was born in Nyami, Central Kenya. Gerald was born in 1962 and is currently 63 years old. He attended University of Nairobi for his Bachelor of Commerce degree. While there, he also worked as an accountant. Gerald came to the United States in the 1990s to study Construction Engineering Management at East Carolina University Greenville. He graduated in 1999 and went on to have quite a successful career.

Today, Gerald and Shamea have two kids together. Their first daughter Shya was born in 2018 and is now six years old. Their second daughter Shiloh was born in 2023. Gerald and Shamea welcomed Shiloh via a surrogate. Because Shiloh was premature, the two-year-old has experienced some health problems.

Gerald and Shamea plan to use the same surrogate to expand their family in the future. Shamea said they are planning to have a third child, as they still hope to have a boy.

Does Shamea Morton have any ex-husbands?

According to her IMDb page, Shamea was previously married to King Solomon Smallwood Jr. However, we don’t know how long they were married, or when her first marriage ended. Shamea Morton’s age is 42 years old, so she would’ve met Gerald in her early thirties.

While Gerald is her second husband, Cynthia Bailey is convinced he should be Shamea’s last. As she joked when he presented Shamea with her Rolls Royce birthday present, priced at $430k. “If I had these kind of birthday presents,” Cynthia cracked, she would’ve “tried to make my marriages work!”

Shamea shared the moment she knew Gerald was the one. On the Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 16 premiere, she recalled how they met at a nightclub. Later on, she attended a cookout at his house. At first, she assumed he had secret baggage or red flags, “cause ain’t nobody letting this good man just walk around Atlanta.”

Despite the fact that she “blew up his bathroom” after the cookout, Gerald asked her out on a date the next day. “Hallelujah, thank you Jesus, this man accepted me for me and all of everything I did to that man’s bathroom,” Shamea said. “And we ain’t parted ways since,” she added, gushing, “that man love me.”

In an Instagram post to wish her husband a happy 10-year anniversary, Shamea wrote, “You really can find love in the club.”

What does Shamea Morton’s husband do for a living?

On Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 16, Cynthia was overwhelmed by the grandeur of Shamea and Gerald’s home. There wasn’t even an address on the invitation, just the name of the estate, Sterling Hall. “This is wealth, honey,” Cynthia said in a confessional while praising their home.

Producers then asked Shamea what Gerald does for a living. “He’s an African king,” Shamea said. Then she burst out laughing, adding, “No, that is totally not true.” Instead, she explained, “He does HVAC.” According to an article from 2023, Gerald is the CEO of a million-dollar company. His net worth is estimated to be $177 million.

As Shamea described it, Gerald accumulated his wealth because he has some pretty big contracts. She mentioned that his impressive work includes “some of the airports you walk through, my husband has built, manufactured, and installed the HVAC.” “So, there you go,” she added with a smile.

Real Housewives of Atlanta is available to stream on Peacock.

It’s the finale this week on Southern Charm Season 10, Episode 15, “Arrested Development.” Last week, Craig and Austen started hanging out again. But Austen could see the cracks in Craig’s relationship with Paige. Madison got great news that Brett is cancer-free and planned to throw a Summer Soiree with Ryan. Meanwhile, Ryan claimed he heard from their mutual barber that JT called Venita “some Black girl.” JT denied it, ranted about the snakes in the group, and told Venita he had to see her.

What happened on Southern Charm Season 10 Episode 15?

This week on the Southern Charm Season 10 finale, Venita hears JT out and stays on his team. Madison and Ryan hold their Summer Soiree at a prison-turned-party venue. Sparks fly between Molly and Shep when he invites her as his date. Craig gives his side on the breakup from Paige.

JT and Venita talk it out

JT asks Venita to come meet him. On the way over, Venita expresses that she’d even be annoyed with JT calling her “some girl” who likes and is chasing after him. She has a name, after all, and JT likes her as well. But she doesn’t buy Ryan’s story, saying it’s “not JT.”

When she meets with JT, she emphasizes that it doesn’t sound like something he would say. He does admit that he maybe called her a “beautiful Black woman.” But he denies saying “some Black girl” or that she was “all over him” either. Venita’s mainly mad at Ryan for trying to start something, and plans to confront him at his event. Venita and JT hug it out, but jokingly agree to “leave room for Jesus.”

Shep and Whitney meet for a “snacky-poo.” Whitney urges Shep to stop pining over Sienna and bring a date to the Summer Soiree event. He mentions Molly, and Shep says she’s “sweet” but he doesn’t want to mess with her head. However, she has only had sex once in two years, so maybe she’s just looking for casual fun. Shep asks her out and she agrees.

Craig and Paige fall out of sync

Craig drives Paige to the airport and bemoans that she can’t stay another day. They remember a time when she did decide to stay. Paige also says that Southerners are so chatty on flights. She prefers being in New York where she can order something to her door without interacting with people.

Paige also realizes that she’s super busy over the next weeks, going from LA to Italy to her tour. As we know from Summer House this season, Paige’s busy schedule is a major issue for Craig. When he asks when he’ll see her again, she jokes “Never, this is the last time you’re going to see me and you don’t even know it.” Even though it’s a joke, Craig says this airport drop-off feels different.

Craig and Austen hang out before the finale event. Austen says that Taylor told him Salley mentioned him yelling “Show us your boobs!” in the Bahamas. Taylor sees this as Salley trying to sabotage Austen’s relationship, but he thinks she’s projecting. Speaking of Salley, she heads over with her boyfriend Andrew, who says he’d rather just hang out with … Craig.

Shep picks up Molly and admires her ballsack door knocker (a gift from her brother). She feels like she’s getting picked up for prom, and it’s a bit weird. So soon after his Sienna heartbreak, she’s not expecting anything more than a fun time.

At the party, all the guys (and Leva) ship Shep and Molly. Taylor thinks she can do better. Patricia says she wants to hold up a red caution sign to the girls entering the group. Leva remarks that she loves to hear the “nerds” flirting. Later on, they have so much fun dancing Molly’s shoe flies off. They have chemistry for sure!

Salley and Taylor’s feud rages on

Salley confirms to Austen that the boobs comment was no big deal. If anything, she brought it up as a joke because she’s getting her implants out. Salley pulls Taylor for a chat. Since they agreed to keep each other’s names out of their mouths at Salley’s housewarming, she’s confused why Taylor said that to Austen. Taylor makes excuses, arguing she didn’t know Salley said it maliciously. Salley asks why she involved herself. Taylor just walks away, which Salley notes happens every time. Later, Rodrigo proposes a toast to them dating each other’s exes. Salley says she got the better deal, only for Taylor to say that a second later, with Salley firing back that she said it first.

Venita confronts Ryan

Venita admits she goes out of her way to avoid confrontation but wants to talk to Ryan. So she has Leva with her. But this ends up being a bad call, as Leva sort of dominates the conversation. They get into it when Leva accuses him of piling on JT without checking the facts. Then Rodrigo comes in. Ryan waves off Rodrigo, who tells the others he doesn’t like Ryan running his mouth. Venita asks Leva to leave her one-on-one with Ryan.

He says he was trying to warn her because he knows how she feels about JT. He admits it may not have been JT’s exact words, but also points out that the barber may have backtracked on the phone with JT to keep him as a client. Venita is friends with Ryan but feels torn because he’s in the anti-JT club. Madison says she’d take Ryan’s word over JT’s and doesn’t see anyone making that up. Venita thanks her for her support despite her stance on JT.

The bromance is back, but what about their romances?

Shep hugs Craig and Austen and tells them he loves them (although he admits that isn’t always true). Craig asks Austen about his girlfriend Audrey. He hasn’t heard much about her. After all, he and Austen haven’t been on good terms since he and Audrey started dating. Craig also says he’s “99 percent confident” he’ll propose to Paige in 2024.

The whole group watches Molly and Shep flirt. Salley gushes that she “LOVES this for Molly.” She says it’s a better fit for Shep than Sienna because, well, Molly actually likes him. Craig says he texted Shep to make out with her. Just then, Molly makes a move and kisses him. The others cheer, which Molly gives the finger to. Shep tells her she’s a really good kisser, and they kiss again. Madison says it’s exactly what they both needed – “fireworks!”

Producers inform us that two hours later, Molly’s dry spell ended. And that two months later, Venita and JT began dating … until … he went public with his girlfriend. Venita unfollowed JT, and they haven’t spoken since. And five months later … we hear the podcast clip of Paige announcing her and Craig’s breakup.

Craig gives his side of the breakup

We cut to January 2025, as Craig confides in Shep and Austen about his breakup from Paige. Craig insists they had a great Thanksgiving together. However, she called him a few weeks later with the “We need to talk.” He said it was “calm” and that she told him she needed to find herself. The first people he wanted to tell were Austen and Shep. But the news couldn’t get out yet, and he was worried it would if he told Austen. He also didn’t want to say anything because “I didn’t want it to be real.”

“She asked me to buy her a ring and I did,” Craig claims. He tells them that over the summer, he went to New York and designed a ring. Only for Paige to express she wanted to back off an impending engagement. In hindsight, he feels that was a sign. Also, he offered to move to New York and raise their kids there, but she worried he’d resent her for it. Craig laments that they had such a rare connection, were best friends, had a great sex life, and everything. “It’s weird to mourn someone who’s still alive,” he says. We’re sure to hear more of Craig’s side of the breakup at the Southern Charm Season 10 reunion next week.

Southern Charm Season 10 continues with the reunion next Thursday on Bravo.
