Since the rebooted Season 4 of The Real Housewives of Miami, co-stars Adriana de Moura and Julia Lemigova were besties. Their fun, even flirtatious vibe captured RHOM fans’ attention from the jump. While this duo always had each other’s backs, that is sadly no longer the case. Feel free to cry into a mojito, because this one hurts.

Adriana de Moura and Julia Lemigova’s RHOM friendship is over

Recently, Julia spoke to SiriusXM’s Page Six Radio, explaining how her friendship with Adriana fell apart. “For years, people have been telling me not to trust certain people, and I think I wanted to fight that, to fight what they were telling me. But now I’m finally opening my eyes and seeing maybe they were right all along,” Julia stated.

According to Julia, while filming Season 7 of RHOM, Adriana came “directly at” her. She still doesn’t understand what caused Adriana’s strong reaction. “Adriana is a very mysterious person. You never really know with her,” Julia said. “The incredible part is, as you’re watching the show, you will be discovering things about our relationship at the same time as I am discovering them myself.”

She continued, “There are still maybe some things I don’t know [about why we fell out]. I don’t even know what and why. I just know some facts, and it’s very sad and disturbing.” Julia added, “But, you know, what’s done is done.” It is so distressing to hear that this duo’s friendship is over.

“And life is going on. You just have to learn from things and just keep going,” Julia stated. “So I don’t know what tomorrow’s going to bring – but for now, all I can say is, no, Adriana will not be coming to see me in ‘Carmen.’” Julia played Manuelita in the opera on April 12 in Miami.

I can’t wait for Season 7 of RHOM to return so that we can find out exactly what happened between Adriana and Julia.

The Real Housewives of Miami is streaming on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland.

Dorinda Medley Reflects on ‘Iconic’ RHONY Scene With Candace Bushnell https://www.realitytea.com/2025/04/18/dorinda-medley-reflects-iconic-rhony-scene-candace-bushnell/ https://www.realitytea.com/2025/04/18/dorinda-medley-reflects-iconic-rhony-scene-candace-bushnell/#respond Fri, 18 Apr 2025 17:08:02 +0000 https://www.realitytea.com/?p=902744 Dorinda and Candace are doing well.

Real Housewives of New York alum Dorinda Medley is one of my all-time favorite housewives. She had us feeling Jovani, and made it nice for her co-stars. I was sad to see her leave after Season 12, but luckily, Dorinda found her way back onto our screens. Recently, Dorinda and Sex and the City creator Candace Bushnell reflected on a memorable RHONY moment.

Candace Bushnell was almost removed by RHONY producers before iconic Dorinda Medley scene

Candace joined Dorinda and co-host Kiki Monique for SiriusXM’s Reality Checked. When Candace was asked if she had ever been asked to join RHONY, Dorinda answered for her. “Yes, you were. People have asked you to be on Real Housewives of New York,” Dorinda stated.

“Well, I did go on. Well, of course, there’s a famous time when I went on,” she said. “I’m doing not well, bitch,” Dorinda said, repeating the iconic line from Ramona Singer’s dinner party. However, Candace committed the cardinal sin.

“But I kept getting yelled at by the producers. I mean, first of all, I had no idea that there are so many producers on the set and they are watching you and I tried to talk to Carole Radziwill ’cause I’d known her for a really, really long time,” Candace explained. “Fellow writers,” Dorinda chimed in.

“Yes, and one of the producers came up to me and said, ‘Candace, you’re breaking the fourth wall. If you don’t stop breaking the fourth wall, we’re gonna kick you out,’ so I was like, ‘Ah, okay. Whatever,” the writer said.

“Well, we didn’t break the fourth wall,” Dorinda stated. “We made one of the most iconic scenes in history.” Candace responded, “Yes, exactly.” Breaking the fourth wall is fairly common now, but not at that time. “We weren’t allowed to break the fourth wall at all,” Dorinda added.

Of course, Dorinda was the first Faithful murdered in Season 3 of The Traitors. As for returning to RHONY someday, Dorinda isn’t ruling it out. “Sure, why not?” Dorinda previously remarked.

Bethenny Frankel has never been shy about sharing her opinion. The Real Housewives of New York alum has continued to share her opinions. Whether she is trying to spark a “reality reckoning” or reviewing Melissa Gorga’s sprinkle cookies, Bethenny always has plenty to say. And that is why her fans love her. On the other hand, Bethenny’s remarks can sometimes rub people the wrong way.

Bethenny Frankel is leaving NYC for “personal and professional reasons”

Recently, Bethenny landed in the headlines again for discussing Real Housewives of New Jersey stars Teresa Giudice and Luis Ruelas’ over $3 million tax lien. “I cannot believe Teresa is in another marriage with financial and legal issues,” Bethenny stated. Same, Bethenny. Same.

Now, Bethenny is sharing some personal news about a big life change. She posted an Instagram video announcing that she and her daughter, Bryn Hoppy, are leaving NYC for Florida. The duo is moving to Florida for “personal and professional reasons.” Bethenny stated, “Something has arisen that made this the best and healthiest for myself and my daughter [Bryn].” However, this isn’t a complete goodbye to New York.

She will “maintain residences in the Hamptons and New York City because we love New York.” Bethenny’s new home in Florida “will be our primary and permanent residence.” Then she turned the camera around to show waves crashing on a beach. “This will be my backyard,” she stated.

In the video’s caption, Bethenny wrote, “Excited to share this with you … It’s been a concept for a while, but personal & private circumstances have made this the healthiest life choice.” Of course, we don’t know if Bethenny’s boyfriend, the founder of Yapstone, Tom Villante, is the personal reason for this move. It seems doubtful, since the couple has only been dating since September 2024.

I’m sure Bethenny will give us all the details about her move to Florida in the future.

Season 5 of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City was a roller coaster for Meredith Marks. She had Angie Katsanevas thrown out of her bat mitzvah for insulting Britani Bateman. Plus, Meredith had a rocky season with her former friend, Mary Cosby. However, now there are rumors that Meredith has been suspended while filming Season 6 of RHOSLC.

Rumors were spreading that Meredith allegedly had an explosive fight with Britani, leading to her suspension. Meredith supposedly stopped filming mid-season because of comments that she reportedly made about her RHOSLC co-star. However, the rumors are false.

A source told The U.S. Sun, “Meredith has not been suspended from the show. She is not pleased about the rumors and nastiness, pun intended.” 

The insider continued, “She wouldn’t be surprised if the call was coming from inside the house, and Brittani was leaking all of this herself to stay relevant. Meredith and Brittani get into some pretty nasty altercations and have some blowout fights, but nothing that warrants a suspension.” According to the source, the discord stemmed from both personal issues, which “hit below the belt,” and political disagreements.

So, how did this rumor get wings? A Bravo fan account posted, “ALLEGEDLY Meredith got suspended for flipping out on Britani after a huge fight.” Well, Meredith wasn’t Britani’s number one fan last season. After Britani was caught recording the ladies arguing while onboard a Sprinter, Meredith felt uneasy. She questioned whether Britani had bugged her room. Naturally, she called in a private investigator, Heather Gay, to sweep her room.

Then, Meredith had a meltdown during the Season 5 reunion over who spread a rumor about Angie’s husband, Shawn Trujillo. She threatened to walk out and ordered host Andy Cohen to show footage proving that she didn’t tell Monica Garcia the rumor.

Still, Meredith and her bubble baths bring a certain vibe to the series, so I’m glad that she is returning.

Season 16 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta is embroiled in a scandal. Brit Eady and Kenya Moore bumped heads from the jump. At her hair spa opening, Kenya showed photos of the newbie reportedly performing a sex act. This was in response to Brit previously mentioning having a pistol. Then, when Angela Oakley weighed in on Brit’s situation during the peace brunch, there was zero peace.

In a sneak peek of RHOA Season 16 Episode 7, Kelli Ferrell invited Porsha Williams, Shamea Morton, and Cynthia Bailey over for a visit. The topic? What went wrong at Kelli’s brunch? After all, Porsha wasn’t there and needed the tea.

Real Housewives of Atlanta (RHOA) Season 16 Episode 7 sneak peek

Not to be outdone, Angela invited Drew Sidora over to her home for a visit. First, she made Drew admit that she isn’t Michael Jordan’s cousin. Then Angela shared how she has been feeling lately. “I’m exhausted. It’s been a rough couple of days,” she stated. “Peace brunch … it was a sour lemonade. My food halfway good.” Yikes!

Meanwhile, at Kelli’s house, Porsha asked what went down at the peace brunch. “Drew and Angela walked in. They already Team Twirl, right?” Kelli explained. “So, Brit was already in defense mode, right? Because she’s still dealing with things on the blog.” Plus, Brit was furious that so many of the ladies talked to Kenya.

Porsha responded, “You can see her still being upset about it.” And both Shamea and Cynthia agreed. I think that Brit is going to be upset about this for the rest of the season.

However, Brit and her husband, Michael Cunningham, decided to hit up the car dealership for some pricy retail therapy. “So, how are you feeling about Angela?” he asked. “At the peace brunch, I was there to speak my peace,” Brit stated.

“And the first thing she said was, ‘I know about insurance. How’s that even possible?’ Like, how do you know what’s going on with me?” she said. “I’m under investigation now.”

I have a feeling that the repercussions from the salon stunt are going to continue to haunt these Atlanta peaches.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta continues on Sundays at 8/7c on Bravo. You can watch on Hayu in the UK and Ireland.

It seems like Season 14 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey aired a 100 years ago. When the season ended with the cast firmly divided into two camps, the RHONJ reunion was scrapped. So, the powers that be at Bravo paused the show while trying to figure out a way to save the series. Now, Jenn Fessler is sharing her knowledge about casting for Season 15 of RHONJ.

Jenn Fessler has heard RHONJ casting news

“I have,” Jenn responded. “Well, I have not … no specifics, don’t get too excited.” She continued, “Oh, I don’t know who. Well, although some of the women know some of the women that have been called. Like, I went into a nail place recently in Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey, which is the town next to me. And apparently, some woman came up to me and said, ‘Just so you know, I’m interviewing, and there’s a bunch of us interviewing,'” Jenn explained.

“And I was like, ‘Thank you for the information, and, you know, good luck to you.’ So, I know that they’re definitely casting,” she stated. “So, I don’t know what it’s … who knows what it’s going to look like. I mean, you know, everybody has their own sort of theories.”

When asked if the woman at the nail salon had a Real Housewives vibe, Jenn replied, “She seemed really nice. So, no. She was very nice to me.”

Back in January, there was an unconfirmed report that Bravo had hired a new cast for RHONJ, but then decided not to move forward. As for OG Teresa Giudice? She has the perfect cast in mind. She would return (duh!), along with Jennifer Aydin, Dolores Catania, and Jackie Goldschneider. The rest of the cast would be newbies. That would be … a choice.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey is streaming on Peacock and can be viewed on Hayu in the UK and Ireland.

After 12 years of marriage, Vanderpump Rules alums Tom Schwartz and Katie Maloney finalized their divorce in 2022. Alas, the bubbas were no more. Navigating their split took some time, as did recovering from Tom Sandoval’s cheating scandal. As you may recall, Tom was swept up into Sandoval’s messy behavior because he knew about Sandoval’s affair with Rachel Leviss. So, what is Katie and Tom’s relationship like today?

Where do Katie Maloney and Tom Schwartz stand today?

Recently, Katie was a guest on the podcast, Humble Brag with Crystal and Cynthia. While Katie and Tom previously shared custody of their two beloved dogs, Gordo and Butters, that arrangement has now changed. “We still have the dogs, and they primarily live with him. I love those guys so much that like,” Katie stated, “I can’t never see them. So we mostly talk about the dogs and … it was really intense.”

As for Katie’s friendship with her ex-husband? “We’re cool. But like, we don’t get lunch,” she explained. Which is a pity because Katie and Ariana Madix own a sandwich shop, Something About Her. Meanwhile, Katie has moved on with guitarist Nick Martin of the band Sleeping with Sirens.

Plus, Tom previously met Nick, and he is a fan. “I met Nick and he’s so cool, so down to earth. And obviously a rock star,” Tom quipped. “Listen, I love seeing her happy. If she’s happy, I’m happy,” he added.

As for Tom? He was hit hard by the closing of his bar in December 2024, Schwartz & Sandy’s. Sandoval was Tom’s partner, but due to Scandoval, he took a step back. “It was like perpetual, constant anxiety – when you’re hemorrhaging money. And you know that this place with your name on the side of the building is not doing as well,” Tom previously said.

Right now, Tom isn’t dating, but he has a special someone that he loves “hanging out with.”

Season 12 of Vanderpump Rules is getting a major facelift. The entire cast was let go in favor of hiring new faces. After Scandoval, the cast was divided and couldn’t come back together. In this reboot, Lisa Vanderpump will once again be watching over a group of unruly SURvers. Just like the early Pump Rules days. So, who is Lisa still in touch with from the original cast?

Which Pump Rules cast members does Lisa Vanderpump still talk to?

“For me, Vanderpump Rules was more of a business show about mentoring, nurturing, dealing with all the dynamics,” Lisa told US Weekly. “It wasn’t so intrusive personally.” VPR, which was a spin-off of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, led to several other shows, including Vanderpump Dogs and Vanderpump Villa.

Lisa invited Stassi Schroeder, who took a break from reality TV after being fired from Pump Rules, to join the cast of Vanderpump Villa. “There was a definite feel-good factor about her coming onto the show. We had a lot of fun together,” Lisa stated. “It felt right.”

She continued, “She’s definitely still Stassi, which separates her from most people and says things that most people wouldn’t even think of. But there’s an essence of responsibility for sure – that continually growth and responsibility.”

Of course, Lisa was in touch with James Kennedy. However, after his December 2024 arrest for misdemeanor domestic violence, Lisa put her foot down. James was not charged in this incident involving his then-girlfriend, Ally Lewber.

“I know [addiction is] a disease, and we talk about that, and you just at some point I had to say, ‘I cannot support this anymore’ with some people when they keep making the same mistakes,” Lisa stated. “So that’s frustrating for sure.”

Finally, Lisa shared that she and Tom Schwartz have been in contact. They talk “quite a lot.” As for the rest of the OG cast? I guess it wasn’t a fond farewell to Lisa and the series.

Vanderpump Rules is streaming on Peacock. You can also watch on Hayu in the UK and Ireland.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey seems like it has been on pause forever. Teresa Giudice and her husband, Luis Ruelas, are in limbo since Bravo hasn’t made any RHONJ Season 15 casting announcements. Right now, this couple could use the paychecks. Luis and Teresa were both hit with tax liens totalling a whopping $3 million. So, how did Teresa’s four daughters react?

While most of us felt a sense of déjà vu, Gia Giudice wasn’t worried about Teresa and Luis’ financial bind. Since Teresa already served time in prison for fraud, I think I would be concerned.

“It was definitely a family discussion. My sisters were calling, just making sure – because they’re at college,” Gia told PEOPLE. “Everyone checks in – ‘Is everything under control?’ And [Teresa and Luis] obviously said, ‘Yes, everything is being handled.’” Teresa’s eldest daughter added, “So certain things we obviously do talk about as a family, but if it’s careless stories, then we just brush it off.”

Right now, Gia is branching out on her own. She is a cast member in the new series Next Gen NYC, which premieres in June. She also has a new podcast, Casual Chaos. Previously, Gia planned to attend law school, but those plans are on hold. Instead, Gia is focused on her social media, new show, and podcast.

“My whole family’s in the public eye. So whatever goes on with my family, [I’m] associated with it,” Gia explained. “It’s just how it goes.” She continued, “I’m excited for people to get to know my fun, lighthearted self. And I just want them to feel like they’re in a conversation with me while listening to my podcast. I want them to feel how casual and easy I am, and I also want them to really feel like they can relate to me,” Gia added.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey is streaming on Peacock and can be viewed on Hayu in the UK and Ireland. Next Gen NYC premieres Tuesday, June 3, at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.

During The Valley Season 2 premiere, Tom Schwartz told Jax Taylor all about Schwartz & Sandy’s. Schwartz and his bestie, Tom Sandoval, were partners in their dream bar. However, much has changed since that scene was filmed. Namely, Schwartz & Sandy’s closed down in December 2024.

Tom Schwartz and Tom Sandoval’s bar was forced to close

During The Valley Season 2 After Show, Tom shared some more details with Jax and Jesse Lally about the ill-fated bar. “Honestly, I think I’m still processing everything that happened. I’m at least proud to say that I can walk away knowing that I put everything I had into that place. Almost all of my money,” the Vanderpump Rules alum stated. “Lord knows I over-leveraged myself. I feel like we really never were fully accepted or embraced by the neighborhood, but I’m f*cking proud of that place.”

Then Jax weighed in on how hard Tom worked at the bar. “Every time that I was there, man, you were all in. You were always busting ass,” Jax stated. “You were so good to your employees. Everybody loves you there.” He added, “I think you spent more time there than you did your house.”

However, Tom is at peace with the bar’s untimely end. “I have a newfound sense of peace that I haven’t felt in a long time. It was like perpetual, constant anxiety – when you’re hemorrhaging money,” Tom said. “And you know that this place with your name on the side of the building is not doing as well. Your employees are suffering now. They can’t pay their bills,” he added.

Reportedly, Tom felt “abandoned” by Sandoval as he followed other pursuits. Plus, Scandoval negatively impacted the bar. So, would Tom open another spot? Well, one thing is certain. “I would never put my name on the side of a bar again,” Tom stated. He does still “love being in the bar/restaurant industry.”

 The Valley Season 2 airs on Tuesdays at 9/8c on Bravo and is streaming on Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
