Judging solely from the commercials and clips I occasionally see on E! News, I think Brandi Glanville is having a tough season on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. She used to be seen as the fun one, then she was the drama queen, then the drunk, and now it just seems like everyone is raging at her and she’s raging back. I’ll come back to this in a moment, but let’s just say, for argument’s sake, that Brandi isn’t super-happy on RHOBH these days. Would she really leave a paying gig? Apparently, she would. Brandi told In Touch Weekly that she’s starting to wonder if she will stay with the show much longer.
Brandi Glanville is over The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
“I’m not sure how much longer I have on that show,” Brandi tells the new issue of ‘In Touch.’ “Maybe it’s not for me anymore.”
Brandi, who joined the cast in 2011, hasn’t made a decision yet — but if she does quit, she has a surprising replacement in mind: LeAnn Rimes!
“She could be good at it,” Brandi says of the 32-year-old who married her ex-hubby, Eddie Cibrian. “Maybe it’ll be her next thing.”
That’s funny, suggesting LeAnn for the show. Brandi is so Machiavellian sometimes. Putting LeAnn on a show like Real Housewives would be such a catastrophe of epic proportions – everyone would see what an unhinged stalker LeAnn is. Which is just what Brandi wants. Now, as for Brandi… I wonder if this is more of an angle to get more money. Is her contract being renegotiated or something? Because while I don’t watch RHOBH, Brandi is the only one on that show with her own loyal gossip-following. People care about Lisa Vanderpump and Kyle Richards, but Brandi has crafted her own gossip-brand and gossip-persona much more than any other Real Housewife.
As for all the drama this season, apparently Yolanda Foster asked Brandi point-blank if she (Brandi) was an alcoholic. Brandi says she is not. Brandi also wrote a lengthy Bravo post about addiction and whether calling someone an addict should be a “negative label” or an “insult.” She writes in part:
Addiction is not a negative label, and it’s not an insult. It’s being used by some people to label others in a negative light, which I find distasteful and shameful. It’s wrong and discriminatory to view an addict as a bad or somehow a lesser person. Addiction is serious and shouldn’t be tossed around lightly to diminish others or as a slur or to create dramatic effect or bring attention to the speaker.
It’s possible to agree with Brandi and say that we shouldn’t throw the word “addict” as a go-to pejorative. It’s also possible to believe that Brandi does have some alcohol abuse problems, you know? Does Brandi want to quit RHOBH just because people think she’s an alcoholic?

Guilt much? How many bridges can you burn. She probably sees the writing on the wall she won’t be asked back.
I agree, Brandi probably suspects or even knows that her spot for next season is up in the air and is putting her own spin on things.
It sounds more like Brandi, her fans, and people she has worked with on on her podcast and Celebrity Apprentice are tired of WWHL, Andy, and Bravo catering Brandi’s storyline to Leann and her fans. After Brandi’s appearance on Celebrity Apprentice, people wanted to see more of Brandi doing other things than RHOBH, which seems more interested in keeping Leann and her fans happy because like many other tv personalities and major blogs before him(Wendy, Yahoo, E News, Guiliana), Andy made the mistake of criticizing Leann.
I think she’s an ahole. Not sure about rehab recovery rates on that.
Lol. Wouldn’t it be great if there was ahole rehab? I know a few people who would really benefit from that.
LMAO!
I think the asshole thing is a big issue. Brandi is a vile whether she is drunk or sober and going to rehab is not going to cure her personality issues, so I can see why it is hard for her to give up the booze and benzos. I think that she’s going to hold out as long as she can because she wants the option of being able to medicate and numb herself especially when she has to deal with karma / the consequences of her actions.
Yeah and her saying this because she is soooo PC? Delusional..
Ya i’m guessing she is either angling for more money or a spin off. Mama knows she has to pay her bills somehow!
How much do these women get paid?
I mean, far too much considering the menace they are to society. *runs quick google search* I am coming up with maybe $300k for the lesser known folks, and top tier franchise talent Nene Leaks supposedly got $1.5M. God I hope those numbers aren’t true. I get depressed just thinking about it.
Its in the several hundred thousand per year range, Nene is an exception. So they make a nice chunk of money, but not huge. The women that are really wealthy only do it to try to launch something – Lisa V for her restaurants, Yolo wants to eventually be a lifestyle guru, Heather Dubrow to re-launch her acting career, and so on. Some of the other women have complained that they spend all of their salary trying to keep up with the other women on the show.
It’s a sliding scale that increases exponentially depending on the franchise (they aren’t all equal as far as ratings), longevity of HW (the longer you are on, the more money you make), the amount of drama you bring (for good or bad, more is better).
Nene Leaks receives the most, but I think she’s the exception. I think Theresa Guidice also receives a substantial salary.
The Beverly Hills ladies have a starting salary of $18K for your first season which is more than doubled if you go to the next, and again if you survive to the next.
People like LVP are just over $250K now, but she also started on $18K
All the HWs sign a one year contract. It’s never a certainty that any of them will be invited back for the following season. It all depends on drama and ratings. Although some of it can be too much even for Bravo eg Taylor Armstrong and MCFR. Actually, in the case of MCFR, the viewers revolted so she was never invited to join the franchise though she tried and Bravo kept putting her onscreen.
Theresa is the second highest paid housewife at something like $700K per year – and she is the center of her franchise. As for the rest, it all relates to how highly rated your franchise is, and how important you are to the franchise. But almost everyone starts at a comparatively small amount for their first season have have to ‘prove’ their worth.
I am so happy MCFR isn’t on. Blech.
If MCFR is Faye, then I agree that it’s a good thing she’s not on as a full housewife. I didn’t see the point of her besides being a full-on attack dog acting in place of what Kyle wanted to do to the other women and to whom Faye didn’t even know in the first place.
Whenever Faye is told by those she attacks that she doesn’t even know them, Faye says she bases it on what Kyle’s told her. Then can you imagine that based on the ferocity of Faye’s attacks how badly Kyle speaks of the other women off-camera? Both women are just that vicious.
MCFR is Faye.
And yep, she is Vyle’s attack dog.
Who’s MCFR is this a commenter name?
I think she created a lot of false drama to stay on the show, and she went too far. Now no one can stand her. And yeah, she has an alcohol/prescription drug problem.
The entire show is false drama, especially once you get into Seasons 4 and beyond when the women have learned to work the camera and any natural drama has actually played out. Housewives are highly encouraged to keep the show ‘interesting’ in order to stay on the show. Think about the intense level of crazy exhibited on every iteration of the franchise – for the most part it’s to bring the drama to keep the buzz alive and the viewers’ eyes on the screen. Most of the women on these shows need the paycheck and are thrilled to comply. That said, Brandi has a choice in how she does it. She doesn’t have to be such an a-hole and she doesn’t have to go for the jugular every single time. Part of the issue is that she’s getting sloppy drunk during filming – producers make sure the wine is flowing because it helps for maximumdrama, but Brandi just takes it too far. That’s practically her byline now “She’ll take it way too far!”
So true. I used to enjoy it as my guilty pleasure, but stopped watching because it was just too much.
The show stopped being about following these ladies around and seeing the fabulous lives they lead, and is now about throwing them together for horribly awkward group vacations, outings, parties, and get-togethers. Most of the events that they attend aren’t even real, they’re thrown specifically for the show, and they’re contractually obligated to attend. Its all a set up and the ladies know that if they want more camera time they need to have a storyline and conflict is one of the best ways to do it. It’s why she and Krupa keep sniping at each other – Krupa desperately wants to move over to RHBH and is trying to give Andy a reason.
Krupa is so desperate to join the RHOBH franchise that she’ll keep baiting Brandy enough to ‘prove’ her worth despite not being on the show. It’ll be really interesting to see where she takes the desperation if Bravo refuse to take the bait and or Brandi leaves RHOBH.
Ps: in light on the comment about Krupa’s lady parts, I can see why her hubby wasn’t falling over himself to go there.
And i’m glad MCFR didn’t make the cut. (following on from comment upthread)
It says so much about Kyle that she’s friends with MCFR.
And Krupa is just awful, but now that she’s suing Brandi I think that’s a sign that RHBH isn’t going to happen for her. To this day I’m convinced that Andy was considering the move and asked Brandi to help bring a little drama but didn’t expect the infamous “tuna” comment. Part of Brandi’s problem is that she bought into being a fan favorite early on and thought she was giving people more of what they wanted, but she’s not actually very witty and comes across mean and or offensive. Its not like shes the first Housewife to do that though.
How desperate is Krupa that she has to sue over the smell of her vagina? Anybody with anything substantial going on would just let that slide off and/or have a one-on-one meeting with Brandi and get a truce. Brandi should just stop talking about it period and Krupa’s stupid for thinking a smelly vagina lawsuit is good for her career.
So many “Real Housewives” are horrendous people, but Brandi takes the cake. She is the absolute WORST!! I hope she leaves or gets fired.
With Brandi we get the truth. She really does have credibility in this area on the show. Without Brandi keeping it real the show it would just be about fake Lisa and Kyle. I don’t think the two new ones will last. They are boring. Also like Yolanda.
The delusion, denial and lies fly thick and fast with her. If she isn’t an alcoholic, then I’m the Pope!
They are raging at her and she’s raging back. That’s funny. She is rude to everyone and causes the ugly drama.
This is an angle. She knows she has no story line or life but to antagonize and drinks way too much. She has no real friends left on the show but an addict and Yolanda who is barely on. . This is to angle for more money and to put out there to get LeAnn on the show. She knows with LeAnn and Eddie on, she’s gold to stay on for more money. She told Andy earlier this season on WWHL to bring LeAnn on. Bring it, she said. She knows it’s the way to freshen up her stale act, as she’s a one-trick pony. And I think she can tell Andy is over her. IF it weren’t for Eileen Davidson, the soap actress, and Lisa Rhinna being on the show this season and bringing some fun snark but class, I wouldn’t bother watching at all. Brandi has become just gross.
Brandi, LeAnn and Eddie are all losers. They are all pathetic.
i would have to agree. She has no reason to be on the show except as a sh*t disturber. And that’s why she’s gunning to get Leanne on. I wouldn’t want to watch the show if they were both on it. It would just be their never ending drama and that reached the way past dull point a few years ago.
Yep. Their story is old on all sides and no one cares anymore.
I agree, Brandi doesn’t have any storyline of her own. She doesn’t have a side business/career for them to focus on, she doesn’t have a famous husband and his career to promote, she doesn’t have famous kids and their careers to follow. She has NO storyline other than “F You” and arguing. It gets old.
aaa shows up at 2:49 pm and then at 2:57pm, it’s followed by a post from someone. This is why people aren’t buying that the I hate Brandi posters are real.
I just like the color of her dress or whatever she’s wearing. It makes me want spring sooo much. We have another foot of snow coming Sunday 🙁
This is all part of the Andy Cohen drama machine. This is all a soap opera cliffhanger so don’t get your panties in a bunch. Brandi always get a strong response which means ratings.
As for Leann joining that would be epic. Her insanity would magnify times 5. Andy would not sanitize it like she did on her canceled show.
I would love to watch her keep tabs on Eddie all day long. She is a webcam series all by herself.
That. Would. Be. MAGNIFICENT!
It is clear to me that Brandi’s season edit would reflect her tagline. Antagonism is her thing this year.
I think it’s a money angle. Who would put themselves on blast like that for less? I think she has a fairly thick skin, but is saying she has reached the end of the line for current remuneration. She has spoken about pursuing other ventures, and I’d guess she would walk in the case of any other prospects. She has certainly been workin her exposure heavily in recent years with podcast, CA, paid appearances, that column thing in Oz, etc.
I agree! I am shocked they haven’t done it already-the ratings would be through the roof because Leann couldn’t edit out the crazy like she did with her reality show. We would be able to actually watch the crazy that is Leann, and with cameras there so much no way could she contain the stalking/tweeting/keeping tabs on edie/drinking, etc etc. I’m not sure edie would agree, cause it would interfere with his, ahem, activities.
Okay, I am going to say something nice: The Brandi Glanville edition.
1) She looks great in turquoise. This is a flattering dress.
2) The makeup looks great. I like the lip line the makeup artist gave her here …. but not too excited about the red. Still a lovely makeup job.
3) Her face looks relaxed. Her smile looks genuine. As in, she has a natural smile going on here. Without botox fighting to keep her face immobile. A general soften look for her. This is a positive.
4) I would not label her an addict or alcoholic. As much as she probably needs to dry out. Skip the wine for a few weeks. And give the liver a break.
The red is just too harsh for her–she needs something softer. Otherwise she looks great! And I wish she would get off RH and maybe do a sitcom.
Agree on the labeling point. I think she is at the end of her rope with the franchise and drinks too much to deal with the hens. It’s a bad choice, but there it is. She has the potential to do comedy well,-she’s brash- but I think her real forte would be a talk show format.
I finally watched her on something – youtubed WWHL – and in action she is beautiful. I was surprised. She also comes across better live than in print. But I don’t get the extreme love. I appreciate that she managed to put a spin on the godawful situation she found herself in, and turned it into a lucrative lifestyle, but she’s still… Not that appealing.
i think the only RH that’s a worse person is Kendra. I honestly don’t care if it’s just a persona for attention it’s awful and I’ve stopped watching because im sick of these immature mean spirited B***es. I also think half of Brandi’s fan base doesn’t even bother with the show in the first place.
She’s having a rough year because she’s enabling, turning people against each other for her amusement, and lashing out in the worst ways — like suggesting to Yolanda that her daughter is an alcoholic. Oh, really?!
That was a rude and stupid move, to be sure. Especially since it seems to me Yolanda intimated that her father’s fatal auto accident was due to ETOH.
As for the post saying that Brandi suggested Yolanda’s daughter is an alcoholic….that never happened. Brandi said Yolanda can’t believe every gossip that goes around, such as and as an example, the gossip that Bella is an alcoholic, which lead to her DUI.
This is far different from ‘suggesting’ that Bella is an alcoholic. Two different things.
anne…
don’t drink the kool aid — she most certainly did suggest it.
Your wheels are spinning so fast…..
Brandi can never take criticism and always hits back below the belt. No one was talking about her daughter being an alcoholic right after that happened back then. Kids party and drink and if driving, might get a DUI. She’s only 17.
She threw that back at Yolanda to spite her for telling her she has a drinking problem, and Yolanda wasn’t having it, and Brandi as usual reverts to “other people” are saying it.
Brandi disses other people, but she is incredibly thin-skinned and cannot in the least take criticism and always hits really cruelly below the belt. It’s a very nasty side to her personality, even doing it to Yolanda and using a teenager to do it.
@Talie
@Tarsha
Drinking the Kool Aid is when someone bases their facts on hearsay, gossip, and misinformation and refuses to rely purely on facts.
As for me, I can deal with the facts, regardless of being taunted by those who don’t know them.
Sorry anne, but you clearly don’t know the first thing about the facts. All you have spouted is delusional lies. You have clearly drank the Kool-Aid. Your nonsensical posts show this amply. Or perhaps you are Brandi.
@Tarsha – I can have differing opinions than you without having to be somebody else.
Anyhoo, you’re just repeating the same insults to me. Whatever.
If you have anything you’d like to discuss besides what you think of me personally, then I can do that.
It’s getting to be old with this back and forth of “Yes, you are,” “No, I’m not.”
Anne, no one is talking about or attacking you personally. We are addressing the content of the posts. Never mind. I can see this is a waste of time.
@Jayna – Brandi didn’t call Bella an alcoholic. Again, she was using it as an example of gossip, because Yolanda was bending her ear to the gossiping by the other women aka mean girls. Brandi also explains it in more detail in her latest blog.
I don’t doubt there were rumors, however short a time, after Bella got her DUI about alcoholism or being out of control with it, because rich kids, alcohol, DUI, these things go hand-in-hand in the gossip mills. And Bella did get arrested for DUI. Yolanda talks about it in one of her blogs and on camera. Yolanda said they made Bella pay for her own attorney and as parents, deprived or took back some of the things they were paying for her. She wanted Bella to know that there are consequences to driving drunk, especially since, iirc, Yolanda’s own family member was involved in a car crash that greatly affected her.
I say that’s a good thing, especially when you have rich ‘kids’ (actually adults) like Conrad Hilton who think mom and dad would buy them out of trouble and shouldn’t have to face any pain of the consequences.
I say none of the women on RHOBH can take criticism very well. Lisa V., for example, always couches her attacks as just jokes, but lets out big sighs and puts others down for bringing up how she goes after people.
And Kyle can’t take any criticism at all. If you say anything about her to her, she’ll tell you that all the pain is all on her and completely wipe out of her reality anything she’s ever done to anybody.
I watch rhobh and she is a moron. She antagonized everyone in the show including Andy Cohen. BTW I doubt she knows who Niccolò Machiavelli was. You give her too much credit. She is not that bright. She can go I’m not gonna miss her.
RHOBH is fake as hell. Sorta loosely scripted improv acting. You can’t really judge what these women are like in real life from that show.
Russell Armstrong’s suicide was not fake, neither is Kim Richards’ addiction nor the divorces/breakups that have taken place. If we are discussing something on the margins like whether or not a HW is a bitch or a shallow ditz, I can see chalking that up to editing and producer manipulation, but I don’t think that Brandi’s bigoted comments about Joyce Giraud last season were scripted nor that the physical altercation between Kyle and Brandi was improv. In Brandi’s case there have been photos and/or reports outside the show about her drunken behavior including witnesses discussing how aggressive she gets.
Brandi has also made provocative and outrageous comments on Twitter, her podcast and in interviews, so many are not judging her solely based on what happens on RHOBH.
How old is she? I’ve never seen the show but she can’t be older than mid-40s, right? With all the work she’s had done on her face and that heavy makeup she looks 55. What an odd world we live in when that look is preferred to something even close to natural (it’s the same way I felt about Lisa Rinna when she was doing those crazy lips).
I was surprised at how composed Brandi was on The Celebrity Apprentice. Her personality seems better suited for the East Coast. I think she would make an interesting addition to the NY or NJ franchises.
Surprised? Trump & team wouldn’t put up with her RH type of nonsense for a single second. They’d call her out in an instant. She knows that.
Maybe that’s why she’s been injecting all of her extra money into her face. She’s saving it for a rainy day. 😉
I can’t decide if I think she’s an alcoholic or just drinks on that show because the producers encourage it for drama, she also doesn’t know how to stop at one or two drinks. I’m the same way, which is why I drink maybe once a year, but I’m not a mean drunk in any way, I just let loose and overdo it to the point of a two day hangover, then swear off drinking another year. Anyway, she’ll never get fired because the show would be boring without her, I wish we could see more of the celebrity Apprentice Brandi, she did really thrived in that environment and I was impressed, she should stick to things like that.
I kinda think she mentioned LeAnn going on the show because she knows LeAnn will try anyway and that was a way to beat her to the punch. LeAnn obviously enjoys taunting this chick on a daily basis, I just checked their twitters and Brandi posted a tbt picture so of course LeAnn posted one not longer after, it surprises me every time she does this psycho crap.
I understand that there are a lot of people who support the real mean girls and call any of their victims who stand up for themselves to be at fault for doing so and thus label them the ‘mean girls’ in order to discourage their standing up for themselves. One example is the plain girl on Afterbuzz TV’s review of RHOBH.
I saw upthread that someone called Brandi an enabler. So being friends with recovering alcoholics is being an enabler? Remember that one of Brandi’s BFF is a counselor for substance abuse who was also a former addict. Are people here really saying that Brandi is trying to get everybody to drop their recovery? In Brandi’s blog, she says she’s not a counselor so don’t expect her to be. When Kim took the pain pills, that was done through her and her ex-husband Monty. That’s not on Brandi.
The other women on RHOBH have no story line except to rag on Brandi. Kyle uses Kim’s recovery efforts as her own story line, because people are bored about Kyle showing off her vacation trips and shopping with Portia to buy toddler clothes. There’s not much else she does. She’s the one who took the women, including Kim, to a wine tasting. That meant Kim, being a good sister, showed up and had to sit there patiently watching everybody drink wine and say how good it was. Then Kyle went after both Kim and Brandi at two different events, refusing to allow them to leave peacefully, because Kyle had to show the world that Kim’s pain (which she had to be hospitalized for later on) and anything about Kim is only about Kyle, Kyle’s embarrassment, Kyle’s camera time, and Kyle needing everybody to cater to Kyle. Kyle’s relationship with Kim is about Kim having to serve Kyle’s ego. It’s an unhealthy relationship. Kyle drives Kim to such a state, I think the real enabler and destructive influence in Kim’s life is Kyle. Did you know what when people praise Kim for her lengthy list of work and fame, Kyle jumps in with how much she’s worked too? Can’t shut up even for a second to let Kim have a little bit of time enjoying a compliment. Again, it’s all about Kyle, Kyle, Kyle.
As for Lisa R., she’s desperate to stay on the show. Her only real storyline is to play pretend addict-therapist. If she isn’t accusing people of being addicts, alcoholics, enablers, etc. without any in-depth knowledge or relationship with those she’s labeling, then her other storyline is to pretend her interactions with her teenage daughter and friends is interesting enough for the RHOBH viewers.
For Lisa V. (the original mean girl), she’s checked out of RHOBH. Her main efforts are on Vanderpump Rules. For RHOBH, her storyline, besides ragging on Brandi (who’s been doing everything she can to be Lisa’s friend), is that she got a dog and her adopted son (whom she sent away for years) wants to know who his real parents are. I don’t blame him. He probably knows he’s not the favorite child.
As for Eileen, she thinks her marriage is interesting and she thinks the viewers will fan-girl out for her because she’s on soap operas. That’s it for her storyline. Other than that, she and the other real mean girls are jumping in on the kill like the piranhas they are. Fish school mentality.
Yolanda, who is a RHOBH favorite and is known as the most sensible and real member, is an independent type of person who doesn’t join in with the mean girls club just to be part of something. She’s not a joiner just to be a joiner because she graduated from the high school mentality that most of the other RHOBH ‘women’ haven’t outgrown.
Someone upthread said that Brandi is rude to everyone. Really? Based on what? Brandi is basically the only one who always apologizes for two-way arguments (with the mean girls refusing to admit fault and imperfection) and trying to get friendly with everybody, but like the mean girls that the others are, they look upon this as a form of weakness and they smell blood. They know that the only interesting storyline and character is Brandi and they want the upperhand in true mean girl style.
I am smh so much at the above delusional load of upside-down nonsense that all I can manage is this: What you are doing is exactly what you accuse the other women of. You are excusing the real and sole, mean girl of the show, Brandi, and her disgusting behaviour and making villains out of her victims. I guess her fans are going at full speed trying to spin it to make her a victim. Shame it will NEVER work, because the vast majority of people don’t support shameless hateful mean girl bullies like Brandi. Just read any blog. She is so hated by normal people.
You tell her, Tarsha. I couldn’t even finish reading that load of nonsense.
@Tarsha
@Jayna
So much for you two attacking me, calling me and my post delusional and nonsense.
If you don’t agree with me, fine. I can take that. But look at my post. I don’t attack people here. When I disagree, I say so and state my position without resorting to name-calling and insulting other people’s posts.
Anne, your post is delusional nonsense though, that’s the problem. What else are we to call it? You posted lies and delusional nonsense. It is what it is. Btw, I am a former ‘BBer’ and have followed Brandi on twitter for several years now, BEFORE she even GOT ON RHOBH, and I woke up to how deceived I was by her. I know far more than you think. You clearly are still under the influence of the Kool-Aid. Unfortunately these days there is little difference between Leann fans and Brandi fans. Btw I wasn’t attacking you personally, I was addressing what you wrote.
@Tarsha – If you don’t agree with me, then fine. But name-calling other people and their posts isn’t my style.
It doesn’t really matter to me how much you think you know. I base my opinions on what I know. I don’t base it on how much and what others say I’m supposed to know because they say so.
My posts are my own. I don’t post here to list lies. I make comments based upon what I know.
But you do you. You post what you want. But if you attack me and my posts, then don’t be upset if I respond with disagreement.
Tarsha and Jayna
That is anne_000’s opinion. There is no wrong and right ones, stop trying to police her and call her things such as delusional. LOL like you know all this stuff for a fact since you followed her on Twitter. You don’t like Brandi, that’s fine, but you don’t need to be rude to those who do.
@ Hearts – Thank you Hearts.
I agree with you. It’s all just opinions, there’s no right and wrong, and everybody should feel free to have an opinion without being name-called, insulted, and feel bad about having a differing opinion.
I’m fine with differing opinions. That’s what makes reading comments and writing them interesting.
Doesn’t matter what you think of Brandi, but you can’t seriously be acting as though all of the women are angels and she’s the sole devil. Or I guess you can, but telling someone she’s acting like a mean girl and telling her she posts lies and delusional nonsense, and then act as though you weren’t rude stretches the boundaries of polite behavior. I mean, you told her she drank the Kool-Aid, as though she’s no more than a delusional fool, which you pretty much called her anyway. And, “you tell her, Tarsha” is completely out of line. Can one only post opinions that agree with yours? Don’t bother with the Brandi fan nonsense, I’m not on Twitter, don’t watch TV, and don’t care enough to argue about her. I like her, but in a peripheral way.
Well said @jenn12. Sentiments shared.
Thanks, chica! 🙂
IMO Brandi’s blog is spin and her comments do not actually reflect what happened on the show. Yes Brandi and Kim Richards have been “labelled” addicts but not pejoratively so. In Brandi’s case, her castmates think that she is mean, menacing and damaged and that her aggressive behavior is being fueled by alcohol and she needs to get help. Brandi’s use of Xanax has also been brought upon the show but I don’t think that she has been accused of prescription drug abuse on the show, but drug abuse has been discussed on the interwebs.
As I stated above I’m not sure if rehab will fix all of Brandi’s issues but I think that her castmates are taking that position in hopes that it will address the issues that affect her dealings with them.
You are also forgetting one major factor. While RHOBH was filming, Leann and Eddie’s reality show was airing and Leann and Eddie were doing interviews slamming Brandi. The issue this season isn’t Brandi’s drug use, it’s how Leann and Eddie used VH1 as a platforms to trash Brandi. VH1 aired Leann’s reality show without any thought or care on how it would effect Brandi, Dean, and Brandi’s sons.
Even today, Leann is on twitter thanking one of her fans who harasses Brandi for sending Jake and Mason gifts. We are supposed to act like none of this has an impact on Brandi’s behavior.
I don’t really watch Housewives, but I enjoy following the Leanne/Brandi SWF Drama. I did see Brandi on Celebrity Apprentice and she seemed really capable and friendly. Maybe it’s time she drops the villain act and returns to being “the fun one” because she seems like she can be really lovely.
I guess I just don’t agree that Brandi’s actions have been ‘villainous.’ I don’t know what Brandi did that was ‘villainous.’ It it because she tried to help Kim leave the first event when Kim was chased around by Kyle? Was it at the second event when after Brandi tried to make nice with Kyle, Kyle followed her and Kim around screaming at them and criticizing them to everybody who wasn’t deaf, with Kyle screaming the f-word at Kim in front of everybody including the cameras? I just can’t accept Kyle’s behavior as normal and healthy.
I noticed that when Kyle took her recovering alcoholic sister to a wine tasting, she didn’t sit beside Kim but it seems like Kyle is always just waiting to catch Kim slip so she can pounce on her.
Though Kyle said in the first season that she doesn’t need therapy with Kim because she said there’s nothing wrong with herself, I think Kyle does need therapy in order to deal with an addict and/or a recovering addict. You can’t tear someone down thinking that will rebuild them. You can’t wait on pins and needles and jump on them every time you think something in their actions wasn’t 100% normal. Kim can’t be Kyle’s clay model. It seems to me that Kyle will only accept Kim if Kim was a robot that never did anything until Kyle gives her specific instructions. Again, that’s not healthy for either of them.
I’ve noticed in previous seasons that when Kim was getting attention and was happy and charming and sober, Kyle automatically started ragging on Kim to her (Kyle’s friends) and accused Kim of being drunk, even though she wasn’t. It’s like Kyle can’t stand any good attention towards Kim.
Same with the other women. The only thing they seem to bring to the viewers is how much dirt they can throw around about people they barely know and never wanted to get to know.
It must be hard to find out during a ‘reality show’ that your personal life isn’t interesting and thus have to find something else to do, which in the mean girls’ case is to join a pack of wolves to tear down two people who are effectively strangers to them.
You know, this is what I dont understand. Why is there so much hate against a single mother, trying to raise her boys and make a good living and providing a future for them?
Brandi was cheated on by a louse of and husband, lived thru the whole thing in the public eye, has to deal with a very unstable, crazy, vindictive, SWF, hasbeen, childstar special snowflake being around her children 50 percent of the time. If it were me I would be in jail right now, so I dont begrudge her having a glass of wine or two, when her boys are not around, and she is in the midst of the 4 Bitches from Beverly Hills
The first season Brandi was on, all the “women” acted so high school, talking about her and laughing behind her back, and not friendly at all, they even admitted to it. At the Season 2 reunion, Brandi was the only one that had LVP’s back, all the others ganged up on her, accused her of selling stories to ROL, and tried to “take her down”. Season 3, she did what ever Lisa wanted, including getting together with the slut, on TV, and listened to her tell everyone about the 3 year long affair she had with Edna, the diamond earrings she got, and had to listen to her complain that Edna cheated on her too!!!! I.COULD.NOT.HAVE.DONE.THAT!!!
Season 4, Brandi tried to get out from under LVP’s thumb, have a personality of her own, and most important did not want to film with the slut anymore, as LVP
brags what a wonderful friend she is, instead of honoring what Brandi is asking for, she keeps Sheana slut around, just to promote her on spinoff VP, which I watched for 1 season and felt dumber for. Brandi by far did not say the worst things about LVP last season, and LVP was terrible to Kyle taking about the tabloids and affair in front of Kyle’s youngest daughter, but all that is forgiven, yet no-one can say to Brandi, yes last season was bad, let us try to put it behind us, we all made mistakes? No, and I do think that is because Bravo didnt want that to happen, they need the drama.
Bottom line, I dont see what Brandi has done that is so bad that she gets all the hate tweets, I would be curled up in a straight jacket, and I think the people that spout it, needs to realize they are talking about a person and spewing all this hate shows what an awful person they are, not Brandi.
Have some compassion yall
tweetersagainstcheaters, the problem is that you are feeling sympathy for Brandi for what Leann does to Brandi, you cannot separate the 2. Leann has nothing to do with this. You are also wrong with what you say about Lisa. Firstly, Lisa didn’t know Kyle’s daughter was there. And Brandi did so much damage to Kyle’s children, Adrienne’s children, and now, even using Yolanda’s daughter’s DUI. So Brandi is the expert at using children as a weapon. There is no low she won’t stoop to. With that out of the way – Don’t make Brandi out to be a puppet, Brandi is no one’s puppet. Lisa was the one that was wronged. Brandi and scheana met with the whole purpose of breaking the ice so, as Brandi herself said, it would make things easier for when she goes to SUR, and Brandi and Scheana can wave hello etc. Only Brandi went back on that, demanded Lisa fire someone she knew before Brandi came into the picture, and legally, would have NO grounds to fire her, anyway. It simply was not possible and it was grossly unfair for Brandi to ask such a thing. Even if Lisa was willing to fire Scheana because Brandi went back on her word, Lisa would have legal trouble if she did. Some friend Brandi is, asking that of Lisa! The fact is, through the end of season 2, season 3, AND season 4, Lisa was the ONLY one who TRULY gave Brandi the hand of friendship and who truly went out of her way to defend Brandi, and Brandi shat all over it. So lets get it straight. Brandi stabbed Lisa, someone who defended her so many times and was the only one who stood up for her, in the back. Lisa, and Ken, were clearly deeply hurt. Brandi is a user and a manipulator who has no hesitation in selling out her only friend on the show for a bigger storyline. She burned her bridges with viewers when she backstabbed Lisa. Where was Brandi’s compassion for Adrienne, for Kyle, for Yolanda and for Lisa? especially Lisa, who has been nothing but good to her? I cannot understand how anyone can support Brandi’s behaviour she has been disgusting. Bottom line, Brandi has shown she is a vicious backstabber who is no one’s friend. And what Leann puts her through, is NO EXCUSE for her behaviour on RHOBH.
@anne_000 I want to first strongly emphasize that I agree to disagree with you. You have not personally attacked any commentators on this site, and I respect you for that.
However, I would like to raise a few points to you. You’re saying that you don’t understand why people dislike Brandi and why she’s considered villainous. It seems that you consistently watch RHOBH, so my question to you is, how in the world are you filtering out all the wrong doings that Brandi is doing but pointing the fingers at the other cast members? Let me outline some of the very MANY disgusting things Brandi does.
1. Throwing wine at Eileen’s face- it broke my heart to see Eileen cry out of shock and embarrassment. Is that acceptable behavior in any form? I do not believe for one second that was staged. That is all brandi who then throws out a half-hearted apology later and says she was “transformed into another dimension” when she threw the wine. BS.
2. Never mentioning LVP’s magazine incident until way later in the Puerto Rico Trip because that’s when she decided to go up against LVP. She needed an army of women to back her up so she decided to bring up that incident. What a stealthy fox. Then she sits at the dinner table and literally SMIRKS when women start ganging up against LVP and her husband.
3. Constantly bullying Joyce Giraud. Joyce was nothing but polite the whole season. she asked Brandi repeatedly not to call her Hoyce or whatever because it brought up painful memories, yet Brandi did it purposefully. Oh also, I don’t believe for one second that Brandi didn’t tell Joyce that LVP cannot take criticisms. She’s been saying that EXACT phrase about 5-6 times throughout prior and present season. She is so self contradictory, it’s unbelievable.
4. What I saw in the last few episodes is Brandi just as vicious, if not more, towards Kyle. Telling her “I’ll go ghetto on you bitch” and “I’ll knock your teeth out”. Is she seriously in her 40s? Who threatens other people like that…I also saw her telling Kyle to back off yet she leaned forward a few times to intimidate Kyle. She’s so hypocritical.
5. She talked on her radio show about how she’s jealous and disspaoitned she wasn’t chosen to be molested as a child because she wasn’t good looking enough. Whether or not that was a “joke”, it’s one that perpetuates the disgusting stereotypical thinking that many predators have, which is that these children will like the physical touch, they want it, etc. If Robin Thicke shouldn’t be singing “I know you want it”, neither should these kind of disgusting remarks guised under jokes.
6. Oh and let’s not forget, Brandi loves to mention the whole cheating rumor regarding Kyle and her husband. she brought it up first last season and she brought it up again to hurt Kyle. For someone who’s been scorned and scorched due to infidelity, she should know better than to poke someone wayy below the belt like that.
7. She should NEVER mention anyone else’s kids- doesn’t matter what topic, what situation, what condition. NADA. because if I recall, she flipped out when other women told her she shouldn’t allow her son to pee in the pool and turned it around to by threatening Kyle and Kim that she will murder them for talking about her children. So she should NEVER, EVER mention Yolanda’s daughter. It shouldn’t even cross her lips. She’s so vile.
I don’t think this is a persona she created on RHOBH. This is who she is as a person. These are ideas that come out of her, words that she created through her mind, and actions that she should take responsibility for. I don’t care how she is on CA. Her pristine behavior on CA does not negate or balance out any of the cruel behavior she displayed on RHOBH.
I was a long time fan of Brandi. Couldn’t stand Leann. but that changed real quick after I started to watch RHOBH. I still don’t like Leann. but I definitely dislike Brandi on a equal level if not even more.
@lululemon, THIS is how you disagree with someone. You should be giving lessons.
The timing is interesting, since she is winding down the exposure she gained on CA.
The only way I can see LeAnn being remotely watchable is if Brandi is on the show with her. The Squints’ shirt-lived show was a yawn fest.
That’s what Brandi is banking on. She didn’t throw LeAnn’s name out there with no ulterior motive. It’s a card she is playing to see if that’s a way to keep herself on there and get Bravo interested in pursuing it.
Brandi mentioned before on the “One-on-One with Andy” episode that she would be all in favor of having LeAnn on the show.
Everybody on these RH shows know they’re brought back only if they have an interesting storyline or if they can bring enough attention to the drama.
I don’t think LeAnn is brave enough to be on RHOBH. She quit therapy sessions with her, Eddie, and Brandi when the therapist wouldn’t agree with her all or most of the time. She only wanted to go when she could find a therapist who was more in her favor. (Via Brandi’s podcast)
For right now, all LeAnn can tolerate is sitting behind a screen, blocking out criticisms, and agreeing with fans who agree with her. Imagine that with the wider audience of RHOBH, how she’d be able to handle criticism from people beyond the realms of Twitter and Instagram from which she can use the block option?
I would like to see LeAnn on RHOBH but only if Brandi was still a full-time HW. I’d like to see a one-on-one, sit-down convo like Brandi had with Scheana on camera. But I don’t think LeAnn is mentally and emotionally capable of doing that. But… it would make for some very fascinating viewing if it happened, imo.
I just can’t get past her lips.
Where did all these “I hate Brandi” posters come from? The Leann fan is at it again. So predictable.
RHOBH, WWHL, and Bravo isn’t a good fit for Brandi anymore. Ever since Andy gave Leann the A$$Hat award and Leann and her fans made that petition to get Brandi kicked off of RHOBH, Bravo, WWHL, and RHOBH are catering Brandi’s storyline to Leann and her fans.
This has nothing to do with LeAnn. Brandi had no problem alienating people who used to like her all on her own.
Agreed. I hate Leann too. I think Leann is garbage. I also think Brandi is garbage. Its not either/or yet some of the unhinged Brandi supporters think that if you dislike Brandi, and, lets be honest, at least 97% of the viewing population does, then you MUST be a Leann stan. I don’t like Leann. I don’t agree with how she uses the boys against Brandi. And I’ve read a lot of stuff that Leann did. But I judge Brandi as an INDIVIDUAL PERSON. I honestly truly believe that if Brandi butchered a newborn baby in the center of the town, her fans would say “well, its because Leann did this or that”. They blame EVERYthing Brandi does, on Leann. If anything you’d think what Brandi has gone through because of Leann would make her a BETTER person, not a *worse* one.
When a certain person isn’t posting, the massive influx of I hate Brandi posters doesn’t happen, but as soon as that certain person starts posting here again, the I hate Brandi posters start crawling out of the woodwork. It’s always the same script, “they hate both Brandi and Leann, but…”.
What are we supposed to think when one of Leann’s fans bragged for a month that she was BFFs with an executive at Bravo and that the Bravo executive tells her information about Brandi? Leann gets blamed for some of Brandi’s actions because Leann is responsible.
How can Brandi get better when Leann is still doing mean and nasty things to her? After witnessing Leann tweeting daily, giving meet and greets, playdates with Jake and Mason, and Christmas cards to people who harass Brandi, I blame Leann, Eddie, and whatever press they are using as a platform to further their I hate Brandi parade for Brandi’s actions. People defend Brandi because they see what Leann and Eddie are still doing to her. Just because the blogs aren’t writing about it, it doesn’t mean that it’s not happening. Why are we supposed to ignore how Leann uses tv personalities to help her bully Brandi? It happened with Wendy and Guilana. Now we are seeing this same pattern repeated with Andy and WWHL. Why are we supposed to ignore that Brandi’s drinking during this season of RHOBH could be attributed to the stress of Leann and Eddie’s reality show and interviews which were airing as she was filming? Instead of helping Brandi during this difficult time, Bravo, Andy, and RHOBH exploited it.
This has everything to do with Leann. It wasn’t Brandi who created the petition to get Brandi fired from RHOBH, it was one of Leann’s fans. It was Leann who threw the temper tantrum after
Andy gave her the AH award, every time any tv personality criticizes Leann, it’s followed by that personality going on attacks against Brandi. Wendy did it, Guiliana did it, and now Andy is doing it.
So… because Brandi has insufferable relations with the new wife and her ex-husband, this gives her all the leeway to act like a complete trashy/ vile/ inhumane biatch on RHOBH? Why are so many Brandi supporters looking the other way when her actions are certainly under the category of the most despicable events on RHOBH? Doesn’t matter if she has a tough personal life with her family. It gives her no right and no excuse to take it out on other cast members. She’s not an abuse victim. She WANTS to be on RHOBH. No one is bullying her or exploiting her. She can walk out of this anytime she wants.
Isn’t this the same post you wrote when your name was Janis? You are rewriting history again. Brand is being bullied and exploited. No one is looking the other way.
Say goodbye to her podcast; I’m a listener but people come on becuase they are fans of the show and most are housewives. She is so proud of it, says she wants to be be a talk show host.
That’s why I don’t believe for one second that Brandi would voluntarily leave Real Housewives. She’s not just saying goodbye to the podcast – almost everything of monetary significance stems from Brandi being a Real Housewife – her salary from the show itself, the book deals, the clothing line, etc. She’s also launching her own wine, so we’re supposed to believe that Brandi is going to quit RHOBH because it’s “not for me anymore” but then try to get a wine business off the ground without having the Housewives platform to promote the product.
I think she’s so fun to watch on Celebrity Apprentice, and I love her books. I read her books before I saw her on RHOBH, and only started watching that show now and then to see her.
I agree, she doesn’t need that show anymore and I hope she moves on to more fun things.
I really like her.
I agree with her, I don’t think it’s for her either. I was sympathetic towards her until season 5 and it’s been downhill ever since. Sadly I’ve come to dislike her and unlike some morons, that doesn’t make me team Leann, who think they must jump on the team Leann when they stop liking Brandi. I can dislike both and I do. It would be wise to remove herself from the show before she loses more of her fan base. I think she could go further without the show and if she filtered herself.
I don’t like many of the housewives on this series, not just Brandi. I don’t think she is the worst housewife either. I find most of them unlikable. There is no sincerity or loyalty, just using one another for alliances. I think Kim is the one that is most sincere and unfortunately has two toxic people trying to use her. Kyle for a storyline and Brandi the enabler.
On another note, because it must be said. I am annoyed at Brandi talking about Leann almost as if she is pushing for her to join the show. She really is not doing herself any favors there. Stop pushing that and let Leann fade away with her parking lot concerts. Eventually some other has been will be the new infamous tabloid fodder and Leann will history.
I meant season 4, Was sympathetic to her until season 4
I agree. She claims that Leann’s the one who keeps attacking her (for the most part, it’s true) and that she doesn’t instigate anything. She also promised to stop talking about the affair, Eddie, and Leann, after her first book came out, but what do you know? It’s still her storyline and it’s still in her shtick comedy zingers. She is baiting Leann just as much as Leann does as well.
Oh, and I love how she tries to stick it to Kyle by constantly mentioning how close she is with Kim and Kathy Hilton on twitter to show what Kyle is missing. That’s a truly bitchy thing to do. Now I don’t really feel bad when Leann parades her stepchildren on twitter for Brandi to see.
It obvious that everyone has a strong opinion about the housewives. Most of It obviously not good. But while commenting on the unattractive personalities of the ladies just think about the drop in viewership if all they taped were soccer games, charity fundraiser and tea parties without the drama
The housewives franchise would die out.
People do realize that reality shows are scripted and edited, right? I can’t believe the amount of time some put into arguing about who said what, and who did what. I know middle school kids with more maturity than this.
After seeing Brandi on the real housewives, I understand why her husband walked out on her…or did he run? She always looks like she needs a bath.
Get your story straight!! Edie (gonad-less Eddie) or better yet Edna like he was called in an earlier comment did not walk out on Brandi. SHE KICKED HIM OUT TO THE CURB FOR GARBAGE TAKER LEAKANN TO PICK UP!
That’s what Brandi says and she lies as does Eddie, but the fact that cannot be disputed is that Eddie filed for divorce from Brandi.
I’m not saying that you and others should not believe that Brandi kicked Eddie out, but the people who state that Eddie left Brandi definitely have a valid basis for that belief.
@aaa
As we have told you many times before, Eddie only filed for the divorce because Leann took him to Cabo. That’s how Leann and Eddie’s relationship operates. Leann gives Eddie a vacation or very expensive gift and for it Eddie appears in her staged photo-ops or he pimps out Jake and Mason to Leann and her fans. Even now, the only way Leann could get Eddie to spend this Valentine’s Day with her was to take him on a vacation first. Last year, Leann made the mistake of taking Eddie on a vacation after Valentine’s Day and he wouldn’t spend Valentine’s Day with her.
People have a valid basis for the belief that Brandi kicked Eddie out because the court documents state that Eddie wouldn’t move out of the house.
Interesting, where are all these “I hate Brandi” posters coming from?
@why?
Eddie Cibrian was working on CSI making $60,000 an episode when he filed for divorce from Brandi. If you want to believe that Eddie Cibrian, who was making over a $1 million a year at the time, threw away a 13 year relationship and 8 year marriage that produced two children for a trip to a tourist trap a few hours away that’s your prerogative, as it is my and other people’s prerogative to believe differently.
Okay, definitely not everyone who dislikes Brandi is LeAnn, or one of her minions, but I side eye any poster who pops up to state “no wonder her husband left her”. Just no. Anytime a poster is pushing the Eddie loves LeAnn angle you know it’s fishy. Because no. And I honestly wish he did love her, as much as I despise them both.
@aaa
No matter how you spin it, Eddie only filed the divorce because Leann took him to Cabo. People have pointed out to you many times that Eddie stated in an interview that his ultimate goal in life was to vacation. Why would Eddie spend “his millions” on vacations when Leann, Leann’s father, and Darrell were footing the bill? Besides, Eddie also gambles( Morris Chestnut said on Wendy’s show that he gambles with Eddie all the time). The $60,000 that you said Eddie was making per episode of CSI, couldn’t go to vacations because it was being spent elsewhere.
We have witnessed Eddie pimping out Jake and Mason to Leann in exchange for vacations to the Bahamas, Hawaii, Cabo, Aspen, Montana, and Tahiti. According to Leann, Eddie’s favorite color is even green, the color money.
You are going to believe differently because it doesn’t fit your fairytale that Eddie loves Leann. You keep bragging about how Eddie filed the divorce first, but if Leann hadn’t offered Eddie a trip to Cabo in exchange for filing for the divorce, Eddie wouldn’t have ever filed for the divorce first. Even though Eddie filed the divorce first, he kept stalling the process. Fighting Brandi for minor things like her wedding China and the Bronco Brandi’s father gave them.
@ BeckyR
How many different names are you going to use to write this same post? Leann has spent her entire relationship with Eddie trying to be Brandi, so no matter how many different names you use to write this same post over and over, Eddie still wants to be with Brandi. As usual you are taking what people write about Leann and applying it to Brandi.
That is just disgusting. So basically EC didn’t have the guts to divorce someone he didn’t want to be married to, so he had the right to cheat? And what did Leann’s husband do to deserve it? He was walked out on and Leann tweeted things about her/EC’s anniversary and he had to point out, “You should be proud, considering you were married to me at this time last year.” Or when Leann tweeted, “My first anniversary as a wife” as though she’d never been married before. Dean did what to deserve it? And whether or not you’re married has NOTHING to do with your personal worth. Are you joking me? I’m married for 12 years; a friend, a hardworking mother of two, had to throw out her cheating husband who said it was her fault because she didn’t pay enough attention to him. And she’s worth less than me because I’m still married? Is your last name Duggar? A man’s opinion of a woman has nothing to do with what she’s worth. Jesus.
…oh becky, becky, (*cough* LR/LR fan) becky, ..”needs a bath”..? Really..??
That regular reference to LR’s poor personal hygiene, has really offended you hasn’t it? Angry much? You’ve been nursing it so long, you just couldn’t wait to project it back on to Brandi. How unoriginal …*yawn*
This is what one of Leann’s fans posted November and December of 2014(the tweets about Bravo firing Brandi began on November 29, 2014 ), and it’s one of the reasons, people blame Leann for Brandi’s actions, question the massive influx of Brandi haters, and think that Bravo/WWHL/RHOBH/Andy are catering Brandi’s storyline to Leann and her fans. The person even tweets to the person who created the petition to get Brandi fired from RHOBH. Brandi is right, RHOBH isn’t for her anymore, it’s become a means to appease Leann and Lisa.

My observation is that the person whose tweets you are quoting is more of a Real Housewives fan than a Leann Rimes fan and her dislike of Brandi stems from things that have happened on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Leann name has been in her mentions but Lisa Vanderpump and other Housewives are mentioned more frequently.
The person’s whose tweets I quoted is an avid Leann fan and her dislike of Brandi stems from Leann, not based on what she observed Brandi doing while watching RHOBH. You do know that Leann has her fans and her employees watching RHOBH and listening to Brandi’s Podcast? Remember during Leann’s European tour when the woman who took the desert photos for the cover of Leann’s Christmas album did that social experience(tweeted a comment that Joyce had made about Brandi)?
People have witnessed Leann tweeting to that account. If you scroll through timeline of that account, that person tweets to the same Leann fans who are constantly harassing Brandi, the Brandi parody accounts that Leann’s fans created, the account everyone suspected of being Leann, one of the stepmom blogs(the stepmom blog has since changed her name to something else) that Leann was always tweeting to, and about 3 accounts that were created by Leann’s fans with the sole purpose of harassing Brandi. If it was a RHOBH or Lisa fan, why was the person watching Brandi on Celebrity Apprentice? The person also listens to Brandi’s Podcasts. You can’t make this go away by claiming that it’s a fan of RHOBH because it’s not.
It’s interesting because the hate tweets to and about Brandi on that account sound just like the ones we are seeing show up here.
It doesn’t matter that Leann’s name isn’t in these mentions, what matters is that a Leann fan is bragging that she has connections to someone who works at Bravo. I was told that this has nothing to do with Leann, but based on the tweets made by the Leann fan who bragged that she has connections to Bravo, it has everything to do with Leann.
I don’t even own a TV, but from media and social media I can gather enough to say this:
Brandi needs to resign from RHOBH for her own sake more than any body else’s.. and for more reasons than just how she is encouraged/or scripted to come across..
She will not starve.
I think her Celebrity Apprentice appearance, has evoked a particularly embittered tirade.. her detractors cannot bear or afford a [more] redeeming representation of her, of course..
..this vitriol is too familiar..
I have a TV, but never watch it. I can’t believe how people know every single thing these women have said and done. I have a headache just from all the recaps, and I usually like those because I find out what happened without having to watch. I can’t believe people think all this is real, and yes, someone killed himself, and someone is in prison, but for the most part, that has to do with actual lives. Do people really think all these women do is go to lunch and parties with one another and that they’d spend time with one another if they didn’t like each other? Scheana became a storyline, I get that, but if Brandi was such good friends with Lisa, she would’ve known Scheana worked there. People script and edit for maximum impact and ratings, as they do with all reality shows. It’s why they’re such BS. I don’t get why people love them so much.
