Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

I like her.

Me too.

If Adrienne had so many "questions" about Lisa, It's very telling that she held it all in until the reunion instead of just asking Lisa about it beforehand. It was like Lisa got ambushed.

Ive read that what comes out next week is that the women, sans Lisa, got together and called Brandi to have a meeting before the reunion to see how to handle Lisa. Brandi told them to screw off. (my words LOL). Don't know if any of this is true, but it will make for interesting watching next week.

I like Lisa's sense of humor. My friends and I are like that. We are brutally honest with each other and laugh at each other all the time. I see where she was coming from saying how you try and "funny it up" for the cameras. To me, Adrienne came off as very full of herself.

Brandi might not be my cup of tea completely but she is refreshing and very fun to watch.

I didn't like Brandi this season but if the bolded is true I could change my mind about her.
I didn't like the way they were ambushing Lisa. Some of the things they were saying (like the Maloof Hoof) were obvious joke. Maybe not good jokes, but she didn't say them in a spiteful way. The whole thing about selling stories was silly. Why believe the reporter? He'll say anything to get you to talk. I doubt Lisa needs $25,000 that badly. I also doubt anyone is paying that much for gossip about the housewives.

I found it a tad boring-trying to create drama where there wasnt any

I couldnt stop staring at Taylor's LIPS!

Ha Ha Ha No kidding! She mentioned the stepford wives - her lips made me think she was one!

 

[Nohal]

I have to say I felt sorry for Lisa. They really ambushed her. I don't think she is trying to be mean or catty I think that is just her way. I think she really held her cool when she was being attacked. Seems to me that Adrienne held her tongue until the reunion instead of talking things out with Lisa before then. I was really surprised at Adrienne believing all the crap she kept going on about. Really Lisa doesn't need the money from the gossip blogs, but in hindsight she is probably sorry that she didn't decline comments like Camille.

I thought the whole reunion drama was ridiculous! The last episode these women were getting along and supporting each other. It's as if Bravo, at the least - encouraged this behavior. Possibly even threatened to pull them from the show if they weren't nasty enough. I hope the compensation they received for their dignity was worth it, Kyle & Adrianne. Taylor already had enough drama and Lisa was high drama protecting herself. Camille, her few digs at Taylor were idiotic but there wasn't much drama with her, and she wasn't invited back. Brandi, I don't really like her.

All the comments I've been reading, I don't think the fan community as a whole likes all this angst. My very favorite episodes, of any RH, is when they are getting along. Bravo likes the fighting.

Night 2 ... Brandy was on fire.

Listening to Taylor and the others discuss Russell was very disturbing .

My best friend for years was married to an abusive , cheating man. The way they described Russell was spot on classic abusive, rich , narcassitic ( SP? ) man . It brought it all back seeing it , upset me so much and I wasn't the one married to him. We did however have a huge run in when I helped move her out , gun was pulled and the police were involved .
I can't imagine being the wife . My friend to this day won't talk about it , but I know he changed her life in untold ways and the fact that she has to share custody with this loon is even worse. I hate to say this ,but if Russell was that bad, it might be better for her little girl that he is gone . I know that is awful to say , but until you have walked that life , it is hard to judge .

Taylor probably shouldn't be talking about Russell at all! Especially for their daughter's sake.

Taylor probably shouldn't be talking about Russell at all! Especially for their daughter's sake.

Taylor is too busy making money with the book and trying to stay on the show to care about her daughter. She is seriously going to hurt her daughter and hurt their relationship. It's so sad that a parent would put money before the daughter.

I am loving Brandi. Hope she comes back. She seems the most "real".

 

[emcclay]

Brandi has no class. Her parents went wrong somewhere!

Agreed and agreed.

She makes me ill.

She may not be the classiest girl around but she sure is funny and honest. I'll take her over Taylor, Kyle and Adrienne any day!


Looks like Dana is going to stir it up next week. Really? Go home. You are unimportant.

 

[Mickey'sMainMami]

Brandi might be a bit raunchy, but at least she is honest. Everytime she has been confronted by someone about something, she has owned up to it. She seems to be one of the few who do this. I would trust Brandi more than I would trust anyone else. I loved when she called Taylor out about the book, to me it's just a ploy to make money, because that seems to be all Taylor cares about.

I loved how Kyle tried to stick up for Taylor about it too saying the book was a way for her to make money, I think it's sick, and I know I won't buy it or give that witch any of my hard earned money. She should go out and get a job. I am suprised no one called her out on her lies about her past. From what I have read and heard, she didn't grow up like she said she did. I know everyone bends the truth at sometime, but I would have a hard time believing anyone about anything if they were being caught in so many lies like Taylor seems to be.

I also find it extremely hypocritical of Taylor to have accepted to speak at a fundraiser for battered women. Then bring the man who is a wife beater with you. Why would you do that? I wonder if she got compensated for being the speaker? That sure would explain it.

Taylor is sad and pathetic and a gold digger, and I really can't stand her. I hope Bravo drops her from the next season!

I don't see her as real I see her as insecure and looking for shock value to keep her "interesting".

You wrapped it up perfectly. I really wish they would take Taylor off the show. Adrienne seems weird lately. Seems like she is believing every little piece of gossip she hears but was awfully offended when Brandy said she heard she was going around saying she didn't like Lisa.

 

[joviroxx]

Interesting read. I would bet Taylor's story isn't quite the way she puts it and this article brings up a LOT of inconsistencies. In no way does it say Russell was a good guy, but personally, I don't buy the whole weak, innocent beaten wife story.

As far as Brandi, I like her. She isn't necessarily classless but she is crass. I like that she owns what she says and does and is no where near the fakeness displayed on the other couch.

 

[NEVERENOUGHWDW]

Taylor is in a local bookstore tonight signing books. I just can't go as much as I'm curious.

If anyone is in NNJ or NY state she's in Bookends in Ridgewood.

 

[jpaxton1118]

I am sure that Russell said mean things and his temper was bad but I have doubts if she was abused like she said she was. I think she got a little too wrapped up in her own story and maybe by hearing stories of other women and their abuse she started to make them her own. Either way I think she is a liar and has some issues and feel for her daughter because she does not have a good role model as a mother. Another vote for Taylor to be gone!

Thanks for the link. I've been waiting for an article or something to bring up her inconsistencies. She just tells story after story and nobody questions why they keep changing.
I watched her on Dr. Phil (ugh, I know). She said the abuse happened on a few occasions throughout their marriage. Last night she said it was every 6 weeks for over 5 years. That's not exactly a few times.
When on Dr. Phil, I don't remember her mentioning the whole dislocated jaw. I mean seriously, he dislocated your jaw, you popped it back in place and that was it? You have no obvious side effects?
She was caught in that lie about Adrienne being Kennedy's Godmother last year, but it was like a little blip on the radar.

I can't stand when people straight up lie and nobody calls them on it. I don't think Russell was a saint but she is ruining what little his children have left of him. At least Brandi (who I didn't really like this season) touched on that.

 

[TwingleMum]

Does anyone know the reason why Lisa moved??? Are there money issues?? Adrienne seems like she wants to say something buy is biding her time.

Did anyone catch a really fast comment Brandy made about Paul not being married?? Adrienne immediately said "oh yes he is". I thought it was a little wierd. Do you think Paul and Adrienne have an 'open' arrangement. I mean I thought this season Adrienne treated Paul like dirt. Its like she doesn't care about him. Paul seems like he has a level head on his shoulders. He was the one to take care at the white party and say what needed to be done. He was firm and no nonsense when he talked to Russel and Taylor. When Kyle was crying (again) he said he didn't feel bad the situation was not of their making.
