Starting off with Karen being interviewed in her home sans makeup.
I guess that’s supposed to tell us how distraught she is so we feel sorry for her.
Oh NOWWW she’s accepting responsibility. This lady is too much.
“Do you know who I am? This will never touch me.” With her wig ready to fall off of her head. Like this cop cares she’s a fucking Housewife.
I don’t feel sorry for her. I guess I should clarify, I don’t feel bad for her.
I do actually feel sorry for her.
And I really feel sorry for Ray. I’m assuming she was returning from being with her boyfriend. She never clarified where she was coming from exactly. Didn’t she say ‘a friend’s?’ Don’t believe she was in a public place. In the bodycam footage, Ray never seemed to make any effort to shush her.

Let’s remember she used her parents’ passing eight years ago as an excuse why she was out getting shitfaced.
Exactly who does she think ‘looks up to her?’ This woman lives in a world of delusion. Children look up to her? WHAT? What CHILDREN??? This woman not only needs rehab, she needs a loony bin.

******
The ladies start to realize she’s not around, as they arrive and are getting their glam on.
Ashley tells Stacy after seeing that horrific footage, in which she was clearly blacked out, otherwise she would have known to shut up, it’s clear how she lied to their faces by downplaying it and/or claiming she wasn’t even drunk. She never said that, but she eluded to the fact that she wasn’t guilty. So in my mind, that’s saying she wasn’t driving drunk. AKA lying.
She won’t answer their calls. Wendy is whining it’s a slap in the face since she supported her. Well Not-a Real-Doctor-Wendy, that was your first mistake.
Oh no Andy not the chaotic over-decorated set? You let the gays go rouge again!
Andy, repeat after me. Less is more.
Why oh why is Gizelle ALWAYS first seat? Is she Andy’s fave? Is it similar to the Kyle Richards thing on Beverly Hills?
Should I go ahead and get started on the horrificness of the dresses, and the boobs, and the body glitter?
First of all, with the exception of Gizelle, the dresses look so itchy, stiff and uncomfortable. They can’t even walk nor sit down in them.
And the boobage is ridiculous. K and Wendy are the worst offenders with the fake titties shoved up under their chin, along with loose skin and flab that gathers in your armpit area as soon as you hit 40.

And why that shimmery shit Wendy? It does NOT look good on camera. Don’t they have glam people to help them with this shit?

Three words for these ladies: GET. A. STYLIST. Is ‘a’ a word?? Okay 2 ½ words. That looks painful.
Andy makes it official, The Grande Dumbass will not be in attendance. As we know, this is heavily discouraged, but allowed for the Housewife or any Bravo cast to not attend the reunion. Not sure if it affects their check or not. Usually it means they have something to hide.
Andy lets them know she has checked into rehab. Although she doesn’t have an alcohol problem at all, remember.
The timing is interesting right? Like she couldn’t have checked in the day after the reunion filming and sat here and owned her shit and apologized for lying??
She couldn’t do it. She could NOT do it.
And she knew it would put the girls in a predicament because being in rehab, they most likely won’t sit here and call her a coward. Well at least not right away.
Gizelle gives her a back-handed compliment by saying everyone knows she lives in a land of delusion, but perhaps she’s finally admitted she has a problem.
Wendy comments how it’s interesting she’s doing this prior to her sentencing, so is this really genuine or trying to get a lighter sentence??
I would say the latter.
And I hope the judge sees right through it.
And I hope he watched the show and saw her making light of it and referring to it as ‘the accident’ and making herself the victim.
Gizelle is coming to her defense which I guess is nice, about the possible ulterior motive to checking into rehab at this juncture in the occurrence (almost a year later, after found guilty, right before Reunion filming.)
So she sends a video where she blames ‘anti-depressants.’ I can’t with this woman. She piles on the makeup for this one.

For whatever reason she shades Wendy by thanking everyone for their support except for her. I guess due to their finale scuffle, but that wasn’t really Wendy’s fault that she got called out for shit talking her.
She’s just so defiant in this video, and remains in denial.
At what point will she just say she’s an alcoholic and fucks around on Ray? I would have respect for her if she’s just fucking owned it!!
The video was weird. She expressed no remorse, and no admission to her utter humiliation at the level of her drunkenness that night and her nonchalant attitude about it all season.
It’s astronomical that there was no apology included in that diatribe.
Gizzy is giving her far too much credit. Wendy admits she’s pissed. Andy thinks her comment about not coming back as ‘The Grand Dame’ but Karen only, was so fucking poignant and impressive, and thinks it means she’s dropping the facade.
Yeah, no Andy. She just realized how stupid it sounds, given her trashy behavior being far from ‘Grande.’ Which I GUESS is impressive. For Karen.
She thanked Andy just to suck up. Come on. That recording was actually a bunch of fucking horseshit in which she took NO ACCOUNTABILITY. NONE.
The DUI night videos were just BEYOND what I would have imagined. She would NOT shut the hell up. She was clearly blacked out and I’m sure has no memory of any of it. The things she was saying were embarrassing, constantly giving herself accolades, and bragging about ‘who she was.’
Even orders that the cop can’t tell her what to do!! I’m no fan of fucking cops, but in this instance, yeah he can!
Her sentencing is February 26th.
Yeah Wendy, who was this masked woman?? Andy comments about her demeanor being lighter and funnier. Yeah it was, and my theory is she watched herself last season, and saw all of that constant scowling and constipated faces, and realized that’s not how she wanted portrayed again.
Maybe she was reading my recaps!!
Maybe she got help for her constipation!
Wasn’t totally buying the Gizelle/Wendy friendship but it was nice not having them argue constantly.
Is Stacey doing a Housewife copycat and starting a cannabist business? She denies it but probably. That does tend to happen. Gizelle seems to have the tea. Tea laced with some happy juice of course.

I don’t know why Wendy thinks Stacey needs to ask her first. Don’t think her and Happy Eddie have a trademark on marijuana.
The Grande Dame being the ‘Grande’ person she is seemed to try to have Wendy and Stacey hating each other.
I think Wendy learned her lesson in not automatically hating someone she deems as ‘competition’ after the debacle with Nneka last season. I think she was actually embarrassed about her and her mom’s behavior, that’s whey we saw this new improved ‘Happy Wendy.’
Why is Gizelle going after Stacey so hard??
And Wendy is a little extra self-absorbed.
Friend Jazzi enters for her five minutes and is immediately questioned about her relationship with Mr. NFL Guy, because it all seemed a little sketchy given he was with someone else and just had a baby.
So another side chick story. What kind of low self-esteem and complete skankiness does it take to be the side chick? Real question. And then to portray yourself as self-righteous and better than everyone?
Don’t get it. Get a clue. And some makeup.
She denies she was the side chick, yet confirms they were together when he was with this other woman in which he has a two toddlers with, that he forgot to tell her about.
So not a red flag that he started seeing you when he just had a fucking baby??
And she thinks this dude isn’t going to do this to her??
Clearly anxious, she makes a weird joke about being Andy’s ‘side chick’ who’s single, and gay.
She wants to know if she gives side chick energy? Actually yes, you do.
Karen and her ‘award’ which was bestowed upon her the same night Gizzy was having an event in honor of her late father who just passed.
I found it interesting that Karen wants all of the attention and pity that the world has to offer when her elderly parents passed away eight years ago (and even blames her DUI on it.) However didn’t hesitate to shit all over Gizelle’s fund raising event in honor of her dad who recently passed away from a brain tumor.
Ashley was not divorced at the time of reunion filming, however she is now, and did you all catch her photo shoot announcing it?

What is literally wrong with this girl?
GNA –we all know what that was, a fake business for a story line.
They have a website with literally nothing on it. Changing it to health and wellness in honor of her father? When’s that happening? Like how about some follow-through?
Now it’s an ‘outreach?’ and not any type of for-profit business? Thought Ashley was all worried about having an income in the wake of her divorce with no settlement and no alimony.
They make no sense. Can’t they hire someone to help them with this shit?
We’re not talking about the Huzzband, but we’re talking about Miami. What happened? Some Mia Miami birthday drama apparently.
Jazzi explains that she invites her and Stacey to Miami for her birthday and never showed up to the restaurant.
So apparently the POS that Mia is, uses the excuse that they should have RSVP’d to her POC (point of contact) instead of to her.
What is she TALKING about? She is clearly lying. She’s so defensive.
Stacey’s got the receipts in the way of a string of text messages that Andy gets to read. He loves this shit.

She never gets back to Stacey telling her she’s at the meeting spot until after midnight.
Even though the message she claims she never got telling her of their arrival, shows as ‘read.’ Mia is such a mess. She looks pretty embarrassed I must say.

She apologizes after she denies the whole thing. But still acts like there is no issue. Was this bitch raised in a barn?
I don’t know why Wendy’s worried about not being invited when she didn’t even show. And I didn’t think she and Stacey were especially friendly? If they were, honestly I don’t remember.
Now Mia cries so they pity her and drop in, because they’re still bitching. She’s trying to cry anyway. She dabs at fake tears. She needs Candiace’s cryangle.
Wendy calls that shit out.
She brags about taking accountability, but did we notice she didn’t do that until the messages were read. Before that there were excuses.
They needed to RSPV to her POC, she didn’t know they were coming, she didn’t get the message…
Mia chases them to the dressing room during the break to still not explain herself, but repeat she’s sorry and she can’t be a good friend right now.
Stacey doesn’t really accept the fake apology and the tears are suddenly gone.
Oh no not a Housewife ‘leaving?’ I guess it’s the humiliation? This doesn’t really seem like grounds for storming off? Being called out on what you definitely did do.
Loud wails behind the door.
Next week she ‘leaves’ again.
