Andy asks Kyle about ‘American Woman,’ and how it caused the rift with Kathy and Kyle.
Although I thought they already were on the outs when she started this project. I may have touched on that last week, I recall Kyle stating a few years ago, that it was because Mauricio was successful in his Real Estate business, when he learned the ropes from Kathy’s husband. And they got all ticked off about that. I believe that is why she didn’t get Kathy’s permission or blessing for this ‘project’ that was to be inspired about her life and a “love letter” to their mom.
Like these people make no sense. They think that they’re so superior to everyone else, that they just get their assholes all up in the air over nothing.
Kathy admits that she only watched the trailer. So not sure how she can be upset about the content of the show if she only watched the trailer? And what does the fact that she doesn’t “talk to her mom’s friends” have to do with anything? Then she proceeds to get all upset, then she proceeds to check her eye make-up. She and Kyle hug it out. Then we’re forced to look at the back of Kyle’s hair that looks like something two 12 year olds would do just for fun.
Andy asks if they have ever discussed the TV show being a wedge prior to the TV trays moment. Kyle says yes, Kathy says no, this was the first time. What I don’t get is why this even has to be a discussion at this point when it was on 2017 – 2108, and canceled after one season. Clearly it sucked, and no one watched it anyway. So I don’t why Kathy still has her panties all in a bunch about it. move on.
Garcelle admits there was a rift with her sister Carol when she was naming her siblings, that could be why she forgot her name. She doesn’t get into the details. There’s no time for that when we have to get into the Erika drama at some point.
Kathy Hilton is the faved “Richards sister” according to a poll of some sort. I wondered about “Richards” sister when I thought that they had different dads. What I found is that their mom’s, I believe maiden name was Richards. And gave all three girls that name. Here is an interesting article I found online about their mom, family and upbringing. Seems their mom was on an onging quest to find a “rich man”
https://celebanswers.com/did-rhobhs-kyle-richards-grow-up-rich/
Andy asks Kyle if that makes her jealous, that Kathy was the favorite, and Kyle laughs it off and says “no I don’t ever feel jealous of my sisters” .insert rich people laughter here.
It’s now Crystal’s turn. Andy introduces her as having a “big shot Hollywood husband.” She does her signature irritated eye roll when Andy says “crystal clear” Perhaps she gets that all the time. She always looks irritated. Who even thought she added anything to the show. After the exaggeration of Sutton barging into her room, and giving her constant hairy eyeball to her at every get together after, she really had very little to say.
They play the yoga bathing suit scene and I didn’t realize previously that Rinna does her evil heartless laugh, “this is why I wore pants” when they were on all fours – after she encourages Crystal to wear a bathing suit. Why Crystal wouldn’t be annoyed at that, but annoyed at Sutton for coming into her room to return a coat, is confusing to me. Rinna’s bitch move was calculated and intended to embarrass her.
But Sutton accidentally gets a glimpse of Crystal while getting her pajamas on. Oh my God.
Of course the “ugly leather pants” are discussed. It’s not that the pants themselves were ugly, it was that they were very ill-fitting on her, in my opinion.
So back to the coat return door knock thing, as if we haven’t beaten this to death, brought it back to life 15 times, and beaten it again, and then a few more times. And honestly, it’s not doing Crystal any favors at all, because it just gets more and more ridiculous sounding every time it is told. I just picture times I have been barged in by a stranger in a dressing room or restroom if I forgot to lock the door, and how insignificant of an event it actually is, and having that complete overreaction in an attempt to get attention and pity, just blows my mind. Even for Real Housewives. But as we all know, they are all REAL Dramatic.
And again we have to break out good old Webster and define and analyze the shit out of the word “violate.”
Andy so nicely gives her the segway to use her eating disorder as an excuse for her violation outrage, and making this the chief “story line” for like five long episodes. Which I just don’t see how that makes any sense at all. Sutton saw her for one freaking second while she was putting her pajamas on.
WHO CARES ??????????
Crystal also gets cornered about the also, overreaction , to Sutton saying she doesn’t see color, when there was a conversation of race that came up, as opposed to Kathy saying something identical when she name dropped Michael Jackson at the table. That was all fine and no one said a word.
Crystal tries to explain that the tone was “different” with that conversation, as opposed to one with Sutton, although it really was not at all different. Of course she can’t admit that. But she wouldn’t go off on Lady Hilton, who they were all tripping over themselves to compliment and please and drool all over. But Sutton, who “no one ever heard of,” was an easy target. So who cares what we say to her.
It does tend to annoy me when one member of these casts get treated differently than the other, over personal preference, ass kissing duties, or who they’re most likely to get away with shit with.
If Crystal spoke up to Sutton on how the “I don’t see color” phrase annoys her, then she should have also addressed it with “Mrs. Hilton.” saying they were different tones or whatever was just a cop out on Crystal’s part.
Regarding the story about her dad at the gas station when she was a child, and someone yelling out racial slurs at him. (like WHAT is wrong with people ???) That is really really sad that he didn’t stand up for himself. This is what America is all about and made up of. Diversified people of all races. I just don’t know how people can be so narrow minded and ignorant. He was probably so humiliated in front of his child to be yelled at this way. Andy says ‘asshole’ and didn’t get bleeped. Was that because I watched it online ?
Dorit says in a flashback clip that it feels “so good to be glamming again.” Just what a tone deaf thing to say when so many people’s lives have been affected by the plandemic, I mean pandemic.
There is a very long clip played of all of the ladies showing off their very pricey outfits, jewelry and purses.
As we now know, Dorit’s home was broken into Wed night Oct 27th, the night that Part 3 aired, and she was held at gunpoint while her purses and jewelry got stolen by burglars. These ladies really NEED to stop flaunting their possessions on air constantly. And showing their houses from the outside ? Also not smart. Guess no one learned from Kyle’s robbery few years back. Here is the article in case you missed it:
Dorit is asked if she pays retail for the designer labels that she wears constantly. She answers yes and Andy acts like he can’t believe it. Like wouldn’t they want Dorit “advertising” for them?
Maybe designers are all like – “I don’t know who she is…” Not to mention they don’t usually come across in the most positive light on these shows when they act ridiculous for “camera time.”
Kyle married for 25 years while filming, and Karen on RHOP also married for 25 years while filming, what a stark difference. One time Kyle mentioned this during the anniversary episode, while Karen Huger has mentioned it in every . Single. Episode. Multiple times. She even went up to a table of strangers to tell them this. I just wanted to point that out.
Kyle’s diamond earrings given to her on WWHL got lifted during the robbery, that were shown off and flaunted on national TV. Just saying. I just have no patience for the shock and complaining about it.
Kathy Hilton is explaining the phrase “have a gorilla” by replacing gorilla with various other animals.
Doesn’t anyone remember “have a cow” ?
Do Kyle and Kathy think their family invented this phrase?
They really didn’t get into Kathy’s comment that “no one knows the real Kyle.” Kyle looked uncomfortable when that was said though. It cracks me up that anytime Kathy says ANYTHING, ANYTHING AT ALL, they all are like “yes, yes, lovely, oh my God, Oh Kathy you’re hilarious …” it’s just beyond disgusting ass kissing. Are they not at all embarrassed? Are they not seeing how this looks? It looks fake and ridiculous.
Here we go with the “Erika segment” that is sure to go on entirely TOO LONG. (and it does!) Now we have to sit through all of her hissing and pissing and mob gangsta wanna be remarks. That usually make no sense. (case in point: “no one knows what I say or do, or what I WILL do… )
Utter bewilderment on everyone’s faces when she spews that out. Yet no one says, “Erika, stop, you don’t make any sense. You’re making more of a fool out of yourself with these off the wall comments.”
She even knew she sounded ridiculous after she says it. Erika you’re from Georgia, you’re not a gangster.
No one there says it. I’m saying it. Is she gonna come for me ??? Guess it doesn’t matter if I say it though. Why wouldn’t Kathy speak up? What the fuck does she care ???? we all know she thinks Erika is a complete fucking embarrassing moron. piece of shit. Come on, we know this. We know this.
Kyle says as she’s trying to defend herself against the wrath of Medusa, that they were put in a difficult situation. (AKA – they were too afraid of her to call complete BULLSHIT on her assinine stories contrived for pity and attention.) Or maybe to just bring up to her, in an attempt to make herself accountable, to try to merely question the fact that maybe it was wrong of her to expect that Tom’s income, while large, was a bottomless pit, and there was no way he could keep up with the rate she was spending it at. Especially with her fake “career.” She was aware (not to the last dollar), but had some idea of the amount of cash she was going through on a monthly basis. And if she knew his health was in decline for the last fiveish years and she continued with these over the top obscene spending habits, isn’t that sort of very poor judgment? Or lack of common sense even? like shouldn’t she have been thinking, what if he soon cannot continue to generate this kind of income, then what ???
Did she think she was gonna run the firm ???
This woman was literally just waiting for him to die and get her mits on his money. (of which there is none now)
None of the ladies had the nerve to hold her accountable for this. She remains to NOT be held accountable for anything– one year later. Stolen money was given to her and she spent it. How does she see she is not accountable?
Now the dinner comes up with Kyle , Dorit and the guys… it does NOT get old or any less funny every time it’s shown, does it ?
They were laughing so HARD. Why ? Because her stories are LAUGHABLE !! this whole situation, while sad for the people who never got, and probably will never see, their law suit winnings,
it has been ridiculous to see her cavalier demeanor about this, and her made up stories and child-like tantrums. But yet again, guess they think they’ll all turn to stone if they stand up to her, since they’re all AFRAID OF HER, no one would speak up. Sutton tried but literally got threatened by her while everyone sat there looking stupid. Sutton leaves crying and upset, while Erika sat there cradling Kathy’s dog looking like the cat that swallowed the canary, as the rest of them sat there embarrassingly massaging her ego. It was pathetic. It was gross. She is gross.
She will never think she is doing anything wrong if no one tells her, because she sure as hell as no self-awareness and accountability on her own.
Kyle looks like a scared child (not just because of her hairdo) as she is trying to gravel to Erika and make excuses for her comments at the dinner with Dorit, PK and Mauricio. She sort of throws the guys under the bus. What’s interesting at how terrified Kyle looks explaining this to Erika, is how she made fun of Sutton for being scared, at the dinner at Kathy’s (not Tiffany’s) episode as Kyle was egging her on and on and on — (“Be honest, that’s not what you said to me, I think you should be honest…)
Now it’s Dorit’s turn to gravel and beg for Erika’s forgiveness (can’t believe I am saying this). Hopefully this is quick and painless, but it is Dorit. She says that her stories seemed preposterous.
That is actually a very good description. Dorit seemed to have learned some new words for the reunion. PK must have taught her them.
They bring up the LA Times article, that printed the morning after Erika rushed out of Kyle’s vaca home. She insists that she had NO idea, this story was being ran in the paper that morning. LIE.
Her attorney had NO CLUE this was coming out ? COME ON.
It gets brought up that Erika’s situation is different from Joe and Theresa Guidice’s legal troubles, because they cheated the IRS, whereas Tom and Erika Girardi — yes Erika too, she said it herself, there’s an excerpt in her book where she claps back at haters of her ‘spending her husband’s money.’ And her answer that is this: “it’s our money, know how I know – the IRS says so” so let’s think about that. If Tom’s income was actually HER money to spend (bc the IRS says so…) then shouldn’t his stolen money troubles also be her troubles and responsibility ?
Little food for thought for Mrs Girardi don’t you think ? Anyway I got off track, I just happened to think of that.
Her situation is different, Andy says, because there are actual people involved (victims) that were owed this money from their law suits that Tom did not distribute to them because he needed this money to fund Erika’s shit and lifestyle and music ‘career.’ So if his money is her money, then this problem is her problem. Get a job and pay back some of this money!! She continued to spend spend spend, even though, according to her, she was aware his health was in decline. Now she says Tom left her “in this mess” ummmmmmmmmmm ?
Really ???
What was interesting in this part of the reunion is the glazed look and almost eye roll of her when the dreaded word “victims” gets uttered. She clearly does not consider them victims, or consider them at all. Andy attempts to explain this to her, how her behavior has come off as having no consideration whatsoever and only worrying about how this is affecting HER. She dismisses this. Well good try Andy, sort of. Well not good try actually, mediocre try.
“Understood” she says. But really is it understood? Or does that just shut people up for the moment.
She then proceeds to change the subject to her and how this has affected her. They all allow this of course. I found it interesting here that she says, “she thought Tom was great”, and I find out he’s doing this. Wait a minute, now she thinks he’s great. In every damned episode he was a monster, cheater, liar, cold, kept money from her. She wanted so badly to leave him, but couldn’t (aka “where was I going??) Just another one of her many contradictions.
Her stupid insta posts come up, and the ladies do tell her ever so gently that these posts probably are not the best idea in light of what is going on. She says she’s paid for these – Should she not pay the bills, she says? (do “bills” include paying back money SHE owes to Tom’s clients? – remember it’s HER money too) Also who the hell in their right mind is paying her to advertise for them ?? keep wondering that but forgetting to look it up.
She says she knew NOTHING of his shady dealings because she does not work at Girardi Keese. We know that Erika. That sentence has the word “work” in it. Also it requires clothes, and a brain to even be an assistant at a law firm. I feel she did know there was a lot of shuffling around of funds to keep this character “Erika Jayne” funded. Erika Jayne performances generated zero income. Erika Jayne performances cost THEM millions of dollars that THEY did not have.
Garcelle hit the nail on the head when she said she thinks that she knew things weren’t all kosher but was living such a lavish lifestyle and having so much fun pretending to be Madonna, (paraphrasing) that she just didn’t WANT to know.
She didn’t care. And she still does not care.
