Even though RHONY has made its mark in this revamp to the reboot of the revamp, many, including Michael Rapaport just dont seem to get it. There are a few inconsistencies, half truths and double standards though that seem to be affecting Erin, Sai, Jessel and our slew of newbies this season. Teddi Mellencamp makes major moves. West is apparently giving his phone numbers to other women all over NYC. Jeff Lewis reignites his feud with Bethenny. Scheana is jealous of Ariana Biermann. Last, but sure not least, Vicki makes Tamra cry.

Judy Torres steps Behind The Rope. The Queen of Freestyle is here to mention it all. Long before podcasts and social media gave artists a platform to discuss mental health, Bronx native Judy Torres—affectionately known to millions as the "Queen of Freestyle"—was the voice of a dance music revolution.

This past week, Kim D. posted a horrific, disgusting video of her dancing around to headlines that Mary Cosby’s son had past away, that Cindy Crawford’s son had past away and that Milania Giudice was found with fentanyl in her system. To make matters worse, the ex RHONJ friend of, included KJ Biermann in her attack somehow implying that what he allegedly did relates to what Milania is going through.

So much has been said about Milania Giudice over the past two weeks. Today we break down Teresa’s statement, share Milania updates and ask whether the media and BravoVerse has a duty to not discuss Milania’s mental health as Tre has asked of all of us.

RHONY’s Passover Seder from he$$ has everyone fighting, Martha Stewart returns, Jennifer Tilly appears and Carole gets really mad. Last, but not least, on RHOSLC Whitney betrays Quai, Lisa tells a few...
