Brunnen. Not only did genuine Housewives of Beverly Hills get genuine last night, however something happened that I can’t recall ever happening before on Bravo – the network declined to air something very juicy, most likely since they’re in the process of getting sued over whatever it was that Brandi said. I can’t even believe of anything else to state in summation of exactly how off-the-rails last night’s episode was, so let’s just get straight to the recap.
We started at Kyle’s house, where the household was having one of the traditional problems of having a teenager – kids egging the home – OR SO WE THOUGHT. That Mauricio, so tricky! For the second time this season, he tricked everybody with talk of drama on the front yard in order to surprise somebody with a new car. First, it was a Maserati for Kyle, however this time it was a Mercedes for his recently licensed daughter. this one didn’t have a huge red bow on it, however the youngster didn’t seem to mind. Time will only tell what type of mess he creates in order to award their gardner with a Porsche next week.
Our next stop was with Brandi as well as her book agent, who ate some sushi as well as kibitzed over Brandi’s book cover as well as title. Brandi doesn’t want her photo on it as well as she wants the title to be, “It’s a Breakup, Not Cancer: exactly how I got F—– Over as well as got The F— Over It,” which I really believe is an awesome title. The problem, though, is that you can promise like that in a book’s title, as well as if the thing doesn’t have Brandi’s photo on it, none of the rabid Housewives fans will understand it’s hers as well as purchase it when they roam past it at Target. listen to your agent, lady. He made Chelsea Handler truly rich.
Over at SUR, Lisa was talking about some things that seemed to be priming us for her upcoming SUR-centric spinoff. A young, half-drunk waitress had offended an essential client at a celebration the night before, which meant it was time for the kind of remarkable sit-down that Vanderpump rules will most likely be full of. Lisa didn’t fire her, even though she would have been justified – telling a guest that the celebration sucks truly isn’t something you can do in the service industry, even if you’re young as well as pretty, as well as the server didn’t seem to have any type of idea of the truth that she had really done something rather wrong. however still, we’re trying to gin up the picture of Lisa as a den-mother here, so she simply sent her off for the night’s dinner service, not for good.
In further server drama, Brandi called Lisa to make sure that Scheana (not a misspelling) wouldn’t be working for that night’s tasting festivities. If you’ll remember, she was among Brandi’s ex-husband’s numerous mistresses, as well as they ran into each other while Scheana was passing a tray of drinks last season. Of program Lisa’s not dumb sufficient to routine her, however mainly it was fascinating to see some much more of Brandi’s home during the phone call. In particular, we saw her bedroom, which was little as well as full of routine person stuff as well as not whatsoever appearing like it’s been attended to everyday by a maid like everybody else’s homes. Brandi: she’s just like us!
Once people started arriving for the party, Kim as well as Brandi made a funny phone call to Kyle about exactly how they were searching for her, as well as she was late, as well as they were just so worried. For some reason, Kim’s self-awareness as well as humor in that moment made me feel truly happy, to the point where if I had been in the room, I most likely would have hugged her. compared to last season, she’s made such a significant turnaround, as well as Housewives so seldom ended up being better, much more functional people as the series wears on.
Once everybody arrived, the group sat down to try SUR’s appetizers, as well as naturally, that’s when the drama started to come out. very first Kim talked a little bit about rehab as well as exactly how it is to be out (some people in her life still “challenge” her, as well as they may or may not have been sitting across the table from her), however then conversation turned to Brandi as well as her issues with Adrienne. From exactly how the scene was cut, it seemed as though producers wanted to highlight that she went on as well as on in her griping, a few of which we’ve heard before – namely that Adrienne as well as Paul tried to flip Brandi to their side during their dispute with Lisa as well as that they pressured her to tweet specific things that would assist their public cause. Side note: I truly hate when Housewives cast members suggest about tweets, whether it’s in a routine episode or during the reunion. It’s tedious, as well as it will never not be tedious.
The thing about Brandi, though, is that if you let her talk long enough, she’ll talk her foot into her mouth. Or at least that’swhat it seemed like she did while airing her grievances about Adrienne in the existence of Lisa, Kim, Kyle as well as Taylor. The scene was incredibly thoroughly edited to show the run-up to the comment as well as the reactions from the group (mostly of the “aghast” variety), however not what Brandi really said. It was intimated that it concerned Adrienne as well as Paul’s family, so in the moment, I assumed it was either a few of the stuff that’s already come out in their divorce (abuse allegations, the split itself, whatever else) or rumored monetary issues.
In stark contrast, we then cut to Adrienne as well as Paul having a cutesy household day at home. Paul was clumsily shredding salad as well as putting meat on the grill, Adrienne was teasing him about his lack of culinary prowess as well as his back hair. See, they’re fine, everybody! nothing to see there! gar nichts! At least up until we get to the point in the season where things hit the fan as well as everybody starts accusing everybody else of beating the kids as well as each other as well as god knows what else. Tabloid accusations were thrown as well as then retracted or cleared so numerous times that I’m not even sure what the score is anymore. We definitely didn’t discover out last night.
At that point, the second celebration of the episode beckoned. Mauricio had just opened a new genuine estate brokerage, as well as he was having the gang over to view one of the properties as well as swill some cocktails as well as perhaps offer a condo to Camille. She was polite however hesitant, mainly since I believe she won sufficient houses in the divorce to keep her entertained for the moment.
While that was going on, Lisa was at the hospital, attending to Ken while he was getting prepared to go in for hip replacement surgery. It was the result of an old polo injury, which is possibly the most Lisa-and-Ken reason to have surgical treatment ever, as well as Lisa as well as Ken were having extremely divergent reactions to the impending operation. Ken didn’t care, Lisa continued to mom everyone, the sky was blue. I can’t blame Lisa for her concern, though – a hip replacement definitely sounds serious. whatever went fine, though, since of program it did.
Back at the party, much more people were arriving, as well as Brandi was expressing naive confidence that no one had tattled to Adrienne about what she said. little did she know, Kim was tattling as she spoke. when again, we didn’t get to hear what the whole bombshell was, however we did see the fallout – Adrienne as well as Paul chose to leave, however not before Paul started yelling about what a bitch Brandi was as well as what he wanted to do to her to ensure that the whole celebration might hear. Adrienne, at one time or another, had alleged abuse in their divorce proceedings, as well as I couldn’t wrap my head around exactly how Paul might be an abuser – he always seemed so goofy as well as gentle before. in that moment, it all seemed plausible. I’m not sure what the condition of those allegations currently is (like I said, I’ve lost count), however they were the very first thing that came to mind when Paul started flying off the handle. even Taylor admitted that that kind of habits in a guy makes her very nervous.
The whole thing rapidly dissolved into profanities as well as shrieks of, “YOU LIE,” “NO, YOU LIE,” which gave me a long time to believe about what everyone’s reactions told us about the veracity of whatever claims were made as well as why precisely Bravo wouldn’t broadcast them. Let’s response the second concern very first – for Bravo not to air something that is so clearly juicy as well as headline-worthy, Adrienne would have to have threatened them with an huge lawsuit. Bravo has no conscience, so it has to be a legal problem that’s stopping them. That, or they want to draw us out as well as tell us what it was two episodes from now. likewise a decent possibility.
If it’s a prospective lawsuit, though, then Bravo has to believe that Adrienne as well as Paul would have some kind of actionable defamation insurance claim if they broadcasted Brandi’s claims, which implies that it’s likely something that’s not already commonly speculated about, as well as it may extremely well be false. In order for a defamation insurance claim to stick, there has to be some kind of negligence toward the truth, as well as that negligence needs to be even higher when the defamation involves a public figure like a truth show cast member.
For the network to keep what Brandi said peaceful in spite of the truth that it’s the center of a major storyline might imply a few things. It might suggest genuine issue on the network’s part that whatever Brandi said is really defamatory as well as actionable. It might imply that the accusation will be revealed later, at which point we’ll recognize this was all a ploy to keep us watching. Or, it might suggest that there’s continuous litigation over what was said; ichF Das war der Fall, die Anwälte von Bravo würden das Netzwerk höchstwahrscheinlich daran hindern, die Aussagen auszustrahlen, auch wenn sie der Meinung sind, dass der Anfall leichtfertig ist. Ich habe ein Geschwätz gesehen, dass es die dritte Option ist, aber nichts völlig solides.
Und dann gab es natürlich Brandi, Adriennes und Pauls Reaktionen auf die Vorwürfe, die öffentlich waren, was (zumindest für mich) darauf hindeutet, dass Brandi Reality -Bomben abgelegt hat, dennoch unangemessen oder schlecht geplant. Brandi blieb ziemlich (Betonung auf „relativ“) ruhig, während Adrienne und Paul sie anschrie, selbst als Paul, ein erwachsener Mann, ihr ins Gesicht kam. Andererseits erzählte Adrienne und Paul von dem Moment, als Kim ihnen erzählte, was gesagt worden war. Das ist normalerweise nicht die Reaktion, die Sie von Menschen erwarten, die gerade herausgefunden haben, dass jemand lächerliche, schnell widerlegende Lügen über sie erzählt. Es war viel mehr im Einklang mit genau der Art und Weise, wie Menschen handelte, als etwas öffentlich verstanden hatte, dass sie verzweifelt versucht hatten, verborgen zu bleiben. Sogar in den Voransichten der nächsten Woche sieht Brandi ruhig aus und sicher, und Adrienne erscheint, als würde sie gleich werden. Mein Darminstinkt ist, dass Brandi Realität auf ihrer Seite hat, auch wenn sie keine Angemessenheit hat, um es in der Gesellschaft zu halten.
Ich mag Brandi immer noch ein bisschen, aber natürlich glaube ich auch, dass die schmutzige Wäsche von Adrienne ausgestrahlt wurde (die angeblich mit der Geburt ihrer Kinder in Verbindung gebracht wurde) sowohl in schlechten als auch völlig unnötigem Geschmack war. Adrienne hat in den letzten Folgen eine gute Aufgabe gemacht, einen Arsch aus sich selbst zu machen, und Brandi wäre viel besser bedient worden, wenn sie sich im Schnitt zurücklehnen und sie alleine implodieren lassen. Darüber hinaus war Brandis gemeiner Mädchenversuch nicht sehr gut geplant. Wenn Sie Gerüchte verbreiten möchten, müssen Sie dies in einer solchen Methode tun, dass sie nicht so auf Sie zurückzuführen sind. Tun Sie dies auch nicht bei einem Abendessen, bei dem ein Videokamera -Team sowie viele der guten Freunde Ihres Feindes zuhören.
