Another LOADED Bravo update is finally here.
It may have been quiet these past few weeks, but that never lasts too long in this universe. Buckle up — this one is JUICY. The drama on camera may be good, but behind the camera there is SO much more...
Andy Cohen was cleared of claims about misconduct.
NBCUniversal had their upfronts this week, revealing their slate of renewed shows for the Bravo Network, with What What Happens Live, The Real Housewives, The Valley, Southern Charm, and Summer House all being renewed for upcoming seasons.
In the same announcement, Andy Cohen's name was officially cleared! A spokesperson for Bravo told Variety that "the outside investigation into the recent allegations made by Brandi Glanville and Leah Mcsweeney against Andy Cohen has now been completed, and the claims were found to be unsubstantiated." Andy Cohen is not going anywhere (and neither are we at this point).
There was SO MUCH Housewives drama BEHIND the camera.
With The Real Housewives of New Jersey coming off of the season 14 premiere, the online drama has officially begun. The day of the premiere, John Fuda, husband of housewife Rachel Fuda, issued a press release regarding statements made about his past. Although the statement was not clear to exactly what he was admitting or denying in his past, it seems as if it's a retaliation to Teresa Giudice calling John "the biggest drug dealer in Bergen County" in the season premiere.
The Jersey ladies have also gotten heat on X (formerly Twitter), with their own fan pages firing at each other with screenshots of conversation with the Housewives themselves. Allegedly, both Jennifer Aydin and Teresa Giudice have been feeding fan pages information and planting rumors. Jennifer Aydin had gone as far as sending screeners of the reunion to the fanpages. Neither of these ladies have spoken about this publicly, so we'll wait till it's on the chopping block of the reunion. (Andy you better be listening.)
And some of the Real Housewives of Orange Country stars found themselves in hot water this week too. Jennifer Pedranti's fiance Ryan Boyajian is reportedly caught up in a 16 million dollar theft and gambling scandal surrounding the Dodgers. It's been said he has been granted full immunity in return for this testimony against other members within the gambling ring.
But the Housewives drama didn't stop in Jersey or The OC! Over in Beverly Hills, Mauricio Umansky has OFFICIALLY moved out, meaning Kylie Richards will be flying completely solo in the upcoming Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season, a side of Kyle we haven't seen since before the show started. This new development is bound to create heavy conversation within the group and, of course, an ever-changing family dynamic.
And if all of that wasn't enough, Dorit Kemsley, also of Beverly Hills, officially announced her separation from husband PK Kemsley. This was major, as last season of the show many speculated their marriage was not going well. She took to her Instagram account to say: "To safeguard our deep friendship and maintain a harmonious environment for our children we have made the mutual and difficult decision to take some time apart and reevaluate our relationship while we prioritize our children."
Between Dorit & PK and Kylie & Mauricio, the Beverly Hills franchise will be rid of husbands almost completely.
Is the end of 'Vanderpump Rules' near?!?
Okay so this reunion is definitely going to be very heavy and emotional, compared to last reunion where everyone was screaming and wanted to murder Sandoval. #PumpRules— (@)
The Vanderpump Rules cast is having a moment of their own once again. From internet debates to Dancing with the Stars roles, this group has been through it ALL. However the new season has given us a very divided dynamic, with Ariana Madix and Tom Sandoval having little to absolutely NO conversation.
The reunion trailer is bound to get you back on the Vanderpump Rules saddle. For the first time, Andy Cohen has the entire cast watch the end of the finale TOGETHER, with LIVE reactions. This is a new move in the Bravo world, since usually clips are played throughout the show, but never in this fashion. Coming off of a very divided finale and massive blowouts and breakdowns, this group may never recover from. It's worth noting that Vanderpump Rules WAS NOT mentioned for renewal during the aforementioned NBC upfronts. Could this be the end of the Vanderpump Rules as we know it?
After the Vanderpump Rules Finale aired, multiple reports hit the internet that LaLa Kent would be moving on from the show and possibly joining the cast of The Valley. It's not confirmed yet, but it looks as if both Scheana Shay could be joining LaLa Kent on her way to The Valley as well.
And not to be outdine, Ariana Madix of Vanderpump Rules had her own surprise for us this morning. The Love Island USA trailer is finally here and, of course, Madix is this year's host. After it was announced that Vanderpump would no longer film over the summer, fans thought it seemed obvious due to Madix's new hosting role. And that's not the only surprise she had in store, as she also let her fans know she will be back to Broadway for a second run as Roxie Hart in Chicago. One thing is for damn sure: Ariana Madix, baby, YOU are good as gold!
Trust and believe, there is NEVER a shortage of drama and announcements in the Bravo universe. Well be back next week with a slate of new battles Bravo will be fighting. It never stays quiet for long...
