RHOA will never be what it was in seasons 5 to 9. Time to cancel the show.
This season does not revolve around Teresa. All her behind-the-back manipulation of Jen A is causing the toxicity. She is nasty. There’s no ‘namaste’ in her soul. Louie is the Brooks of RHONJ - Teresa was the prey he was stalking. He’s desperate for the attention the show brings but the real story will backfire on him. I am SO not interested in the opinion of an entitled Gen Z! Edit Gia out!!
marge is filth
GIA HAS NO BUSINESS ON THIS SHOW
The very own 2 people that did the nastiest and violated action on #RHOA HISTORY was on WWHL yesterday being rewarded, Phaedra and Porsha, and now u want to tell me about fin code of conduct? Give me a fkn break bravo
Amen!
Gia starting to look like a middle aged bitter housewife. Why she’s stuck here is weird. If she’s protecting her mother by potentially providing income, well that’s a strange dark sad place
But David, you were praising Kenya and her behavior. What changed? lol
I won’t miss Jenn or Danielle. Thise bougie kids stuff is absolute garbage.
Smh .. much as I don’t like to agree with brandy .. I agree with brandy .. 😮
Danielle was in Jennifer's personal space. I'm team nobody too. Danielle didn't push her back she threw a glass. Her and Margaret should go. Margaret has pushed people and threw drinks. Throw all the housewives shows away. Bring back soap operas.
Rachel is going to sue Ariana and Tom…and she’s going to WIN.
Thank you, Jen was the one who pushed her, what did she expect after that. It was like a reflex for Danielle lol
I am a huge Kenya fan. It's a shame that things shaked out like this. I have always felt that Bravo has been reluctant to keep Kenya around because she has secured herself as an iconic housewife to the audience, and that she was forcing production to show her in a different light as Kenya was shedding her previous villain role. I don't know why Bravo has continued to try and paint her as the villain in the last season (when in reality it was Marlo) when that was clearly not Kenya's real life but I just get this feeling that Bravo never liked Kenya despite her delivering every season. I don't know what else they're going to do with the season because this was such a huge storyline moment for the new RHOA season that it would be nearly impossible not to show the fallout from the event. Like are they going to cut the event and pretend like it never happened? I also imagine that Brittany Eady's relationships with the other cast members who supported Kenya would also show on screen as well? Like I'm just not sure if production can make the storyline make sense without showing what had happened at the hair care salon. Or perhaps RHOA is getting canceled? Anyways, Kenya came on screen and changed the game single-handedly and she left with fire and brimstone. I gotta hand it to Kenya: this was a crazy way to leave the fans lol.
Sick of seeing Gia every week and she's of age so if someone mentions her name, Teresa better keep quiet. Also, Jen put both hands on Danielle's neck and push her back. Danielle has every right to defend herself and I hope she comes back next year. Teresa better worry about her husband because it doesn't look good for him. Just saying....ciao
Why can't people see this was a CAT FIGHT..it is not worthy of a lawsuit. They both were aggressive, it was only a matter of time of who would through the 1st punch
In the real world where we're not millionaires we throw charity events to raise money and the expenses come off the top... there is always 90-95% left for the fund raiser... the alternative is not raising money at all for a charity! So I think Danielle did a good thing because she's new to this world and she did something good!
She needs to be held accountable for her actions, enough is enough of her getting away with EVERYTHING!
David. You are a lawyer. You cannot say that assault is “putting hands” on Someone“. That’s battery. Assault is any act of movement, verbal threat that puts another person in fear in danger of Battery. Thus, Danielle assaulted Jenn A and was the initial attacker. Then, Jenn A committed battery by putting hands on Danielle as a defensive move, but still that’s battery. Danielle used an object which will be deemed a weapon, to also batter Jenn A. That’s the sequence. In NJ, Danielle is at higher risk of getting a higher penalty bc she initiated the crime of assault flying too close into Jenn As space menacingly. Jenn A petty verbal provocation is not a reason for Danielle to literally commit Assault Per Se. Sue Jenn for defamation. 🤷🏽♀️ I kno what ppl think, Jenn “has mouth and need be popped”. Goo luck being sued or prosecuted.
Make it make sense Bravo. I’m not saying what she did was great, in this day. However compared to some of her peers, this is minor. And the tape is out there for public consumption, excuse the pun, so the math ain’t mathing. It feels over the top.
I love your shirt.
No way, imo that the producers didn't know what was going on... funny how only she is liable when I'm sure if they had an actual HR that actually did investigations, they would have found that producers knew all along and their jus as liable, but they are broavo and that would make bravo liable... so they said umm no you gots to go girl.. thanks but no thanks... bravo don't give a f lol
I want a whole new cast
Hands up require civil action. Yell, cuss, scream, etc, but do not ever place your hands on someone.
RHOA always used Kenya Summer Moore as a The Example, and without her, it's OVER...lawsuit coming soon
Tom Sandoval broke the law, by recording Racquel without her knowledge and consent, yet he's given a promotion, and cast for other Bravo show's. Make it make sense...
Always Love your perspective on these women. You aren't a flip flopper. I don't always agree but I respect your opinion. 4 more episodes to go. Thank God! Can't wait till it's over than I'm done
Good but they should have fired Teresa when she flipped the table with children sitting there and the words she called there mother horrible! Then she throws a whole table at Margaret and had someone pull Margaret’s hair so hard that it hurt her neck! Why is it upsetting people have to be held accountable for there behavior.
Exactly!
She is awful! Her own mother won't speak to her
It doesn’t matter if Jennifer returns Kenya will still pursue a lawsuit allegedly
Lastly has anyone seen Jennifer on her selling Amazon clothes even if she returns who would notice her she’s disappearing on ozempic and addicted to plastic surgery she could return as a new cast member and we wouldn’t know it lol
😅😂
We know what Jennifer Aydin did, we all saw it for ourselves last week. Frankly it was a lot more mild than I expected. I can think of at least two dozen examples off the top of my head of past housewife bad behavior that was far worse including on this very show! We have no idea what Kenya did, the rumors are all over the map from nothing to revenge you know what. I'd hate to look like a fool now by making a judgement with so little true info and be proven an idiot in a week or two.. I'm holding my opinions on whether firing her was right or wrong until I know what she actually did, I think that's the smart position for all of us.
Well said
I just rewatched RHOA and RONY on Peacock and noticed both franchises changed around seasons 10: they became more fake and boring. It’s time to cancel housewives. It had its day, and that day is over.
Right.time to move on
And don't forget after LVP left RHOBH in season 9, the next season (which was season 10) was very different too! Kyle was out of her mind in season 10! You could tell Kyle lost her mind after season 9.
@@benbelzer8303 Good point! I lost interest in RHOBH when LVP left.
Agree, the hands: do not touch me when we are arguing. My Space!
I would Sue Aiden! #BillgatheringEvidenceForDivorce
😂😂😂😂😂😂
1st things 1st The Gia being a sidekick and the voice of reason for her mom is tacky and a ticking time bomb Melissa’s point to Jen fessler even though she was clearing up the analogy of John fuda was on point talking to children (Gia) is weird . I wasn’t a fan of Melissa or tre but this season Melissa bringing business friends and her cousins wedding was fun . Now as far a Danielle …tre and the crew knew who attending that party wink wink and attempting to corner her would be a bad idea Danielle borough someone similar in culture to Jen aiden those woman didn’t want any issues at the launch the real fans and locals noticed drita da vanzo from mob wives walking around behind Danielle like a henchman lol I think the new girls have fun style and Witt but their are boundaries that no one should cross lessons learned tre is dusty and washed up in this arena
in a court of law there are different levels of assault. a push is low level assault, smashing a full drink against someone's face is a much higher level of assault. you should know this! lol. if cabral sues jennifer should counter sue, i know who will come out of it worse off and it's not jen. if cabral let jen push her then sued, that would be different, but you're not gonna get anywhere if you smash a glass in a face after a push. are you sure you did law?
She smashed a glass on Melissa foot Years back no accountability Walking away from a heated argument is a better look if your a lady and feel threatened
There’s a history of violence anger and assault from aiden run back all the tapes you would gasp Not defending Danielle Simple fact checking
agent provocateur Aiden
@@Uknow1000-u2x you seem to be really triggered by my comment.. i would even go as far as to take a guess at whom you might be?!... cabral, is that you?!?
Noway I’m far from it years older just a fan of the show and see the petty and where it’s going if you were to meet me you would see I’m the opposite ein skin color weight height lifestyle difference omg the list can go on lol 😂 I have to forward this comment to everyone I know this will be the funniest thing ever Just don’t take sides you said your team aiden I’m team no one but it’s crazy how no one see everyone for who they are
golden jersey spitfire's husband was worried afterward. leah should have taken to heart the carole radz interview with you david where she said these women gotta get lickered up to do and say the things they do for bravo ratings. I say be a responsible adult and take care of yourself. no one else is gonna do it for you...but i guess thats what all this protected class crap is about. makes me ill. people are turning into pussies with weak sauce poured all over them then they walk right into what they want most and piss and moan about it.
These shows are boring and need to end. I’m loving the lifetime movie transitions for some housewives. They should expand that genre. Literally endless casting opportunities for campy fun lifetime movies 🎥
I agree about the Lifetime point. I actually really enjoyed Hunting Housewives! 😅 It had a fun campy silly aspect, like so ridiculous yet it was serious. 😊
i'm team jen because i like her. anyone that gets in someone's face, expect to get pushed back. don't smash something in someones face because you didn't them pushing you away from their face. cabral started it all, looking for drama. cabral is embarassed because jen called her out for being a social climber of the worst kind and cabral's anger showed for the world to see
Every action has a reaction being reactive to anything has potential side effects
Btw Jen aiden hit Melissa with a glass on vacation Danielle just isn’t Melissa or like the rest who pull hair pour water and yell Danielle has a Jean left hook not justify just fact checking
@@Uknow1000-u2x and melissa had every right to sue back then, it's her fault she didn't. but back to the present...
I had a neighbor pushed over a parking spot over an argument fell and died and very young to a push is an assault at any level you don’t know the outcome to anything physical Both wrong Jennifer was smiling snarky and loving up slandering Danielle on assumptions Danielle should have kept her cool but was frustrated from this being a constant topic that she thought she rectified at Melissa’s housewarming but again Jen is a wild boar in expensive lipstick and Danielle is ruff from urban upbringing Recipe for disaster Theresa should have intervened as a friend of both both she’s in LALA land
I work in the legal field, same as you David. We know that Bravo has to protect themselves. I’m angry that Kenya was so stupid, I like her
produced... they thought they could control the stink and ride another contrived controversy thru another season but that created no safe space for the noisy new girl. i thought vickyG. was plenty ruff on the new girls all on her own....but production used Kenya to put sone shine on tired shit.
Kenya’s exit is sad because of the way she’s going out. And for what? At the end of the day, this is a lesson for all of us. If you’re a 👸 don’t let a 🐸 knock you off your throne.
Jen is totally not coming back. I think she's out. Jen definitely got physical with Danielle first. If you think about it Jen is already gone because they aren't doing a reunion and she was suspended. Her future was already written when they announced no reunion. Jen is done, she's toast.
I know they don't like Jen but I hope they allow her to come back.😢
@@MiaMixxShe won't, but she's not the only one. Half of the cast is toast. This truly is the final season with this whole Jersey cast. I like Jen too, but she sank herself.
@@MiaMixx And the other point. Jen is the primary person involved in leaking the screeners to Melissa's Old Nose. That's a big part of this too.
Jennifer Aydin is 100% coming back 😂 for those who think otherwise, you’re not listening…Teresa is already no longer talking to Danielle
@@RosasNaturalLivingI don't think Danielle is coming back either. Teresa will be back, but Jen and Danielle will go bye-bye.
Thank you for clearing this up! Kenya was fired but she's more in the Carole Radziwill category. 👍 But if she gets legal she'll be in the Nene category. 😊
I am studying in a small city in the north of the Netherlands. I saw some Skinnygirl underwear at the TK Maxx here. Then I rewatched RHONY, and then I rewatched it again. It all started to make sense.
So Phaedra and Porsha had a campaign throught a whole season to accuse Kandi of SA and they are still on up front and center ?!?! Where is the consistency?
I find this to be easy to reconcile.. When Porsha and Phaedra had their moment in Season 9- it was well BEFORE any reckoning! The same way most employers updated their contracts to include a social media clause, Bravo has updated their Code of Conduct to now account for the things the reckoning brought to light.. firing Kenya or Pausing RHONJ, its no different than how folks with regular jobs are getting fired for their OF.. these actions are reflextive of the times..
That was then, this is now. The climate is different.
Phea got let go and she paid her dues... 😒
@@richperspectives8227 climate is different now, they are up front and center now! I would assume to be consistent is not to promote or highlight talent w very problematic behavior, in their case smear campaigns and physical altercations
Out of interest, do you like Jackie, David? Sorry if ive missed this elsewhere! Xxx
would you elucidate on the Nene tea you have? 👀👀 I heard Bravo keeps pushing back her arbitration hearing fates
I liked Kenya a lot - she was obviously great for the show. *However*, for me she became a Nene Leakes (who I also loved btw) 2.0 in as much as - I think - that her ego got the better of her, unfortunately. Obviously, dont know the exact details of what went down but if what is being reported is true then it's just an incredibly mean/cruel thing to do and imo Bravo would be correct in firing her because these things can really damage a person and there has to be boundaries. Will wait for it to play out (if it even does on the show) and I hope to be proven wrong but I'm sure that they wouldn't be getting rid of their main attraction for no reason! Will be very interesting to see how Porsha responds to this given her and Kenya's history / what happened with her on the show in the past xxx
This show is a sinking ship! #rhoa is a joke! Now they want make “company policy “ and moral conduct? lol 😂 ok! The news girls were going to quit at one time! Secondly Brit the one who “allegedly “ did revenge porn! Just got into with Sheree I won’t be watching!!
