Top Stories

Brandi's village shows up. As Brandi Glanville continues battling tough health issues, Housewives across franchises are putting their money where their taglines are — Reality Blurb reports that Vicki Gunvalson and Claudia Jordan both donated to a GoFundMe launched by Brandi's pal and opened up about why they pitched in. Per OK!'s coverage shared to r/realhousewives, the fund aims to cover $7K-a-week medical expenses, and an emotional Brandi wrote, "I'm spent." Whatever franchise wars rage onscreen, the alumni network rallies when it counts.

RHOC is at a full boil. Thursday's episode fallout keeps giving: Gina says it was "hurtful" that Heather Dubrow enlisted Carmella Garcia as her realtor instead of her — but Tamra Judge accused Gina of being "jealous" of Carmella, and Heather explained her decision. Meanwhile, Jennifer Pedranti addressed Vicki calling her "low-hanging fruit" and accusing her of hiding her relationship, then turned the tables by claiming Vicki is the one jealous of Carmella — while also weighing in on the Heather-Gina snub and her wedding date.

Bronwyn's final straw. In a RHOSLC sneak peek, Bronwyn Newport opens up about what ultimately ended her marriage to Todd Bradley. Salt Lake City is not coming to play this season, hennies.
