Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

Here's a timeline on her blogs with bravo (where she speaks about her Lymes)
http://tamaratattles.com/2016/01/27/lets-talk-about-yolandas-bravo-blog-s/

here is another timeline that is interesting[there are i think 5 parts]:
https://realskepticsoftv.wordpress....estigation-of-cld-part-i-the-basic-breakdown/

Both of them are long, but I did find them informative.

I did too. Thanks for the links! The first one, especially mentions a few Q's I had about the timeline. I was pretty sure I wasn't the only one who thought things didn't add up, now I know for certain.

I may be wrong but isn't Erika the one who says you need to own your own s**t? Erika sure didn't own hers. I understand Lisa R frustration at being accused of saying things about Yolandas kids when it wasn't her. I just don't think that it was the time or place to approach her. I don't get what Erika Jayne is all about. Does she only perform at gay clubs?
It was odd that Yolanda, Kyle, and Lisa V went to the cryo place and had such a good time and then to lunch and Yolanda jumped all over Lisa with the medical records of her kids. Was that all in the same day or did I miss something?
I liked Eileen in last years shows but this year it seems like there is nothing there really boring.

I was also a little surprised Erika did not pipe up and admit she spoke with Yolanda about the kids and the lyme. It would be more her style to stand up and admit it was her. I thought she made herself look guilty and like she was trying to hide it by changing the subject and trying to "fluff" over it, kind of made her look meek which is really not like her at all. I would have respected her more if she stood up and owned it, and challenged the ladies to find fault with her. "yeah I said it, what's wrong with that?"

I love love love Eileen, but I also think she is a bit boring this season.

Maybe the good friend Erika is conflicted with the down to earth Erika. Surely she sees there are some inconsistencies in the Yolanda sick story. Not saying Yolanda hasn't been sick, just that some of it is....peculiar.
So, rather than get into it, she just sort of glossed over it. I agree I would have respected her more if she'd have said, "Yup it was me."

Maybe. I was just surprised at her backing down. She just looked so guilty saying, "Oh, lets just forget about all that and have a drink!" Everybody in that room knew it was her and she was just like, "Nope, not me. Lets have some fun! Did you like the show?" It was not what I expected from her, she was trying to shift attention and change the subject when they were all ready to throw down. I think she just didn't want to get ambushed by the entire group. It's easier to take them on one or two at a time I would think.

 

[Miskey]

I'm going to confess. If I were Erika, I would not have confessed anything in that moment. First, it was her night, I'm sure adrenaline was pumping and she was feeling "up" from her show, it was a time to be happy and celebrate. Second, she was a little cornered, in a room with women who were looking for a cat fight. I would have brushed it off and saved the fight for later.

I've wondered if Yolanda's "Health Care Advocate" and too much Dr Google isn't a large part of her problem. I'm sure that "health care advocate" lady that is always with her is getting paid a pretty penny, and if Yolanda isn't sick anymore, she'd be out of a job.

Does anyone remember the season before Yolanda was diagnosed? I'm drawing a blank on exactly what all had happened, but I remember that Yolanda had issues with Lisa Vanderpump, and she just came out of that season in a pretty bad light. When the diagnosis was announced, not long after that season's reunion had aired, it was implied that the Lyme disease was her excuse for her actions. The fans went from being put off by her, to having great sympathy for her. Now looking back, I'm thinking, how convenient!!

On another note, Lisa V and Kyle showed a lot of class by making that mess in the hotel hallway, and then running off snickering to their rooms

It doesn't matter if it was Erika's night, I don't care if its someones night if they are going to go around and stir the pot you deserve to get called out. She didn't own her stuff which is highly immature, and she's not afraid of talking badly about people being their backs and people are starting to figure that out too. She's just like Yolanda, makes things up. I can see how they are friends. Then next week her and Yolanda gang up on Lisa and are screaming at her like a banshee, the reason why Erika didn't want to say anything is because she knew she was in the wrong and she consistently needs backup.

Did anyone else catch the smug look on Yolanda's face when she tried to force Lisa to take her kids medical records? (That i believe are fake or paid for to get what Yolanda wants). I feel so bad for her kids, GiGi doesn't really talk to her Mom all that much from what I have heard, I think maybe she has caught on that her Mom is a bit off.

JMO, Those "records" are likely pretty useless. Sadly, I figure they are probably from practitioners who's main goal is to keep the cash coming in year after year.
I truly hope Yolanda finds peace and healing.

What has Erika made up?

Yes, I absolutely saw that smug look

 

[miksilver]

I think that Erika knows that as a new girl to the group she just has to bring the drama. No better way than to stir it up and then deny it to everyone in the room. Best of all, she owned it during her talking head. Now, that's the way to get attention on a Housewives show. I think she just knows how to play the game.

 

[nkereina]

The whole who said what over the Lyme disease with the Hadid kids was irritating. Who cares, why did they need to get to the bottom of it? Even if Erika hadn't said anything to Yolanda, she would have seen it when the show aired. And I can't blame Erika for telling Yolanda in the first place either. Should she have admitted to it when Rinna called her out? Probably, but I also agree with her that it was the wrong time and place for that conversation.

The flashback clip they showed of Yo's conversation with Rinna went something like this:

Yo: "I heard that people are talking about Bella & Anwar"
Rinna: "Kyle & Lisa were lightly discussing it at dinner"

While Rinna may not have said verbatim "Lisa and Kyle said your kids don't have Lyme", she did admit to overhearing a conversation about it. Even though Yo already knew from Erika, I could see where it would be easy (and more recent) to say that Rinna told her they were talking about the kids. Because it's kind of true.

Otherwise, this season has been a bore. Not a big Kathryn fan at this stage. Her being appalled at the C-word at every turn is annoying. It is just a word and to be so opinionated over it is silly. Eileen is always a snooze fest for me, but I did appreciate that she doesn't like expensive handbags. I can relate to that.

On a related note, it's been confirmed that Dina Manzo will not be back on Real Housewives of New Jersey, but there's tons of speculation she may join the Beverly Hills or Orange County cast now that she lives in California. I think she fits in better with OC, less money with that cast. Will be interesting to see if either comes to fruition!

I would not confess either, but I am not Erika. Erika seems like the type to be like, "HE## yes I said it and I'd say it again!" She also does not come off as they type to be concerned about being cornered or they type that would shy away from a cat fight. It was just so unlike her.

I can absolutely see a situation where someone is asked about his children and he not going into any kind of detail about their health and instead saying "they're fine", feeling like it's none of her business. We don't know how the question was asked of Mohammed or in what situation, or if in the presence of others. I've learned in my old-age that just because someone asks a question it doesn't mean I need to answer it, for whatever reason I choose. I'm sure he would not have guessed that a simple response would end up on the show as a controversial denial of the existence of his children's medical issues.

Two of my three children (and our dog) were diagnosed with Lyme disease. The only symptom that my DD had was Bell's palsy. She tested positive for Lyme. She took antibiotics for a month and was fine. Years later she developed other medical issues, which don't appear to be related to Lyme. My DS developed terrible back pain suddenly and he tested positive for Lyme. Again, a month of antibiotics and he was fine. Although we don't know exactly when they got a tick bite…we never saw the ticks or a bullseye rash in either case...it appears it was caught early. We happen to live in an area where testing for Lyme disease would be fairly automatic when certain symptoms present. It's not always that easy to diagnose or to cure, and others may have different symptoms altogether.

Yolanda has been doing much better since all that loose silicone was removed from her body. Seems to me that the loose silicone is more likely the culprit. And didn't she say she breast-fed her kids? I wonder if it was after she fell and broke the first ones? I thought that situation would be more likely to lead to all these autoimmune issues. It's Bella and Anwar who have the health issues, correct? Not Gigi? I just googled and saw that Yolanda commented that the implant leak was 20 years ago. Whether or not it was exactly 20 years, who knows. But Gigi is 20, Bella is 19, and Anwar is 16. Just playing amateur detective here, FWIW.

Also in regards to Lyme I have it and passed it to my daughter in utero. There is a thing called Lyme rage and it's basically when the Lyme bacteria is attacking your brain and it makes you angry or edgy. I also suffered some memory loss and lost feeling in my legs from it attacking my brain.

There is research being done that Lyme can be spread through other things other than just a tick.

As someone with Lyme I do have to admit I'm over this story line. At first I was happy she was speaking out about Lyme because it's a complicated and controversial disease. Now though people are saying she's making it up and I too went through that because people don't understand. I watch these shows to escape and I'm watching a version of what I've been through and I don't like it

 

[NewRVLady]

Yolanda's DD Gigi is in a full page ad in New York Times Sunday styles section-buck naked-except for the shoes the 3 girls are modeling
I showed DH and pointed to her in the 3 some and told him she's a Real housewife's DD

So how did everyone feel about tonight's episode?

• Yolanda is irritating me, there is no way she doesn't know what Munchhausen Syndrome is, and she still completely pretends she doesn't know how to say it. And she is trying to twist it around saying that Lisa Rina originally said it, when she didn't. She clearly cares about what people think since she's getting so enraged over it, and how can people support her when she posts unquestionable things on facebook and instagram. She can't even keep her stories straight on when she got sick, and what she could and couldn't do in a certain time frame.
  
• Lisa and Yolanda's hug was so fake. What was with Yolanda wanting to spew out that Lisa has bipolar disorder or some other mental disorder clearly Yolanda just wants to lash out which I take issue with. Don't make stuff up just because you want to get even.
  
• I understand why Kyle gets upset when people talk about Kim, but a lot of people were involved in her actions in the last season. It's not like Lisa was bringing up something new and it wasn't like Erika or Kathryn were speaking ill about Kim. I understand if she doesn't want someone new talking about her sister. Addiction is scary, and I am glad that Kim seems to be in a better place at the moment and I hope it remains that way.
  
• Erika finally fessed up, but I'm on the fence with her now because she seems a bit dishonest when she claimed to be super open.
  
• Also why is Kathryn on the show when she lives in San Diego, BH is quite a distance away from San Diego.
  
• Then next week Yolanda tries to stir the pot, I truly think she has something against Lisa (as she always has, even in previous seasons) and I believe that Erika also is going to try and join Yolanda against Lisa (which I hate to break it to them, but they won't win that battle since Lisa is one of the favorites.)

Yolanda was off the rails last night and I was embarrassed for her. Also, why has she dropped Foster and gone back to Hadid? Wouldn't a normal person go back to their maiden name, not the name of another ex-husband?

I also didn't get Kathryn continuously talking when everyone asked her to squash it several times. Just because you had someone in your family struggle with addiction, doesn't mean your situation applies to everyone and your advice is relevant. She doesn't know Kim, and it's seems like her motto of "you don't KNOW me" should apply to others as well. Heck yes, if I was Lisa R in that limo with Kim I would have been scared!!

I hope Bravo revamps this show before next season. Time for Kyle, Yolanda, and Kathyrn to go. I know Lisa R gets a lot of hate on the Bravo blogs and facebook page, but I get a kick out of her, and enjoy watching her. And yes, for a million+, I'd hawk adult diapers in a hot minute

she probably went back to Hadid because her kid's all have that name?
Did anyone see Fashion Police Tues nite? They ALL love her DD Bella's look at the Grammys....she is as pretty as Gigi!

 

[Allison]

Yolanda was on Watch What Happens Live last night and said the kids wanted her to use Hadid as did she.
