ReWives ReRant: Sources Say…

And the thing is that when I was coming up in the entertainment industry, there used to be sources, and it wasn't always sources to say, by the way, if you ever hear a source close to the Kardashians, a source close to the Housewives, a source close to anyone, it's their publicist who spoke to them or the mom or it's never there's never a source, Like it's just

it doesn't exist. So I don't know why people don't just stop that, like this is like this is coming from Chris Jenner going through IDPR, or this is coming through Jill Fritzo, Bethany's publicist going through Like you know, it's not there's not a source there's not someone like doing my makeup who is an insider, you know, And so that's a scam. But let's just move on from that. So certain publications actually have some vetting process, Like if you do something on the Wall Street Journal or the

New York Times, they can't just write something. They can't just write something. And I don't even think that their online component will either. But certainly in print. They don't just write something online either. I didn't mean online online, they definitely don't either. But meaning it's like the New York Times tweets something, Yes, it's gotta be vetted. They would never ever post something in the Wall Street Journal

or the Washington Post or the New York Times. But people, but everyone thinks that all the glossies are the same. So okay, Magazine, in Touch, even US Weekly, all of them, sources say, and they don't have to go vet the source. New York Post a source said, they don't have to really go vetted. And sometimes they need someone on the record. They don't need any of that. People magazine likes to have two good sources like that they really have vetted.

So the thing about the Citizens' journalism is it's great, but it's kind of like a mashup of what other people are saying. It's a regurgitation. I remember years ago that it was set in the media and printed that I had dated a Rod. I had never met a rod. Okay, I had dated the situation. I had never met the situation.

So I always it's really dangerous. I remember years ago there was something that said Justin Bieber had gotten a girl pregnant, and it was like he probably had to live through that for a couple of weeks in the media, and it wasn't fun and it wasn't true. Jennifer Andison's been pregnant nineteen times if you read these magazines, and it isn't true. So it's not really like, it's not right and it's not fair and the person has to live through that for a while. I mean, the pendulum

is always swinging. In the beginning, everyone felt for Amber Heard and not Johnny Depp because in the beginning it was that he physically abused her. You didn't have two sides in the story. So it's a dangerous game that things are very damaging until the real thing comes out, and then sometimes it's just stupid and it doesn't matter and I guess you can use it to your advantage.

So it came out last week on the Real Housewives blogs and all over social media and TikTok from citizens journalists that I was on the plane to Saint Bart's and there is a person behind Ramona. In a post of Ramona's behind her on the plane, you see somebody in glasses, maybe aviators and a hat. And I do

often wear a hat and glasses. So when everyone started saying that I was there, that I was going to Saint Bart's, and I didn't correct immediately because I was watching what was happening, because I wanted to see how far this stupid thing could go. When people just don't let the truth get in the way of a good story. It's a great story. I come to surprise, everybody in Saint Bart's, Jill's Aaron would love that story to be true. She was probably loving it, but in fairness to Jill,

I was loving it too. I thought it was really funny to be reading about this. And then one person posted a picture of a fork as a joke, saying I think I don't think they were joking, but saying they see a reflection of me in this fork. I mean, I'm sure it was a joke, but it's really funny. So I am not in Saint Barts. I did not go to Saint Bart's. I did, but I do. And I think it's so funny that I'm so flattered by the way. I'm so flattered that I'm still part of

this conversation, like I really really am. I have to thank you all and people that write this stuff that really want me to be there that I'm just actually genuinely flattered, like thank you for I was only there. I've been there for I think fewer than half the seasons that it's existed. And I love that I'm someone that people really just think of as part of it. And I don't know that I missed. It's really really nice.

So no, I did not go, and I was asked by somebody yes, or I was asked by Chris Harrison if I miss it. And it's different than him missing The Bachelor because there's some control and structure. I was watching Jersey last night because I was watching for a Rewives episode and I was thinking, when you're there, you could even be enjoying a whole season, you could be enjoying yourself and talking and having fun, and you don't know how trash you're being from other people. And sometimes

it's warranted. You're being trashed because something happened. Sometimes you didn't invite someone somewhere, you said something you shouldn't have said, you did something, there was an article about you. You're this, you're a bad wife, you're a bad parent, you're broke, you're cheating, whatever it is. Sometimes people have other reasons that they just want to trash you. Maybe they're jealous, maybe you're getting paid more than them, Maybe they just

want to take you down. I've had people come on and think I'm going to be the one to take her down, and you know, stronger women than the ones who have tried. Well, no strong women have died trying to take me down on that show. But I don't really want to go into an environment where you know someone's always gunning for you, and it doesn't mean everyone, because there are alliances, but someone's always gunning for someone else,

So that's one of the reasons. And then live out in the press something that doesn't matter to you, about someone that doesn't matter to you, and then you have to fight with them or not fight with them. Or be talked about or cringe every time you see that they're talking about you, and when you leave, you don't have that, and you don't have that on other shows. You don't really have that as much. On Sex and the City, there's some Carrie Bradshaw and Samantha drama that

is off camera, but it's not rampant. They're not both running around talking about it all the time, and it's really just gross and you just cringe. And once you're off there, you're just not part of that conversation. Like Ramona's not running around talking about me. She might be right now on that trip, which is annoying because I definitely don't want to be part of that trip, and I'm not being paid to be part of that trip.

But overall, I'm not part of the vernacular because I'm not part of the drama that happened, which I like. And then you don't want to be thinking about this thing for all these months that you're not being paid to film. So while the girls get paid a good amount of money, they get paid for episodes that air. So let's say they're filming for four months, and let's say someone has agreed to twenty five thousand an episode, thoughts and prayers for that person to do that for

that money. But okay, and then they do fifteen episodes. They're not being paid for the week they the week they do of press, They're not being paid for the four for the four weeks they do to lead up of press. They're not being paid for the social media they're doing. They're not being paid for the blogging they're doing. They're not being paid for all of the things that they're doing year round to support the show. So they really don't get paid that much considering what they have

to do and experience and endure year round. It is a year round endurance project. Right every single person on vander Prompt Rules, even though they're on top of the world right now, is working right now, even though they're not being paid to work right now. This is not you know, when they're shooting or it's airing. So that's why when I say it's not like pounding my own chest, I'm sure there's a number. I always say it's a very high number to go do that, because even people

always say why don't you do one scene? Why one scene for me means they market it as if I was in every so you gotta be smart. And I think that horse has left the barn. But I love being part of the conversation. I am not in Saint Bart's and God bless them for being paid one hundred thousand dollars each to be there because they're gonna live it for six months, but they might like that. It's

relevance even if it's not positive relevance. In some cases, Kathy Hilton is not returning to Beverly Hills after two seasons of a friend of This is meaty, this is juicy, This will be three sides to every story. So I have not spoken to Kathy about this. If I did speak to Kathy about it, she would say either it was too stressful, or she was too stressful on or it was too stressful on her family or Paris. And Nikki really didn't want her to do it, but I

know she wanted to do it. I know Kathy loved doing it. I know Kathy loved the platform. So this is interesting because Kyle is the newest reigning queen of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. So maybe Kyle really didn't want to go back. If Kathy was going to be on or maybe it caused too many problems for her and her family. But this is interesting because I know, I know Kathy liked doing it, and I know she wanted to do it. I don't know that from last week,

but I know from I just know. I know. I said to her, what the hell are you doing this for? Why are you doing this? You're wealthy, you're married, your kids are grown, etc. Why. So this is an interesting one that you guys will have to do a deeper dive, because I know you are citizens journalists and you will figure it out. Because I would never call her and ask. And if I did call her and ask and she told me, I would not tell you because I never

ever divulge any sort of secret. So that's why I feel comfortable talking about it, because I know what I know and I know what I think. But if I called her and she told me exactly what the deal was, if I called her and told her and she told me exactly what the deal was and not to say anything, I wouldn't say anything. What the hell is? Why is this guy Louie all anybody talks about like usually there's smoke,

there's fire. It was Brooks years ago on with Vicky Gumbelson and that was you know, there was fire there. What the hell is going on with this guy? Louie and restraining orders and lawsuits and like, there's a lot going on, a lot of michieg gos with this guy. And I think he seems fun and I think she's in love with him. And I met him and he was nice, which means nothing because I don't know anything.

And I don't really know Teresa. I talked to Teresa for like ten minutes twice in a row, and we're like Instagram message friends, and you know, we're both on Bravo and have a respect for each other. And I put her on my Rushmore of Housewives friends, but I don't know her, so I certainly don't know him. What the hell with this guy? What is this? What's going on? Like I don't like this? I don't like this. How could so many people have so much against him? And

he's jumping in tiktoks and he's super into it. He's dancing with Milania and Theresa and I kind of love it, like it's a fun and watching them dance. Why was he accused of buying fake bracelets for all the kids for Christmas. The boxes were fake, Like, what is going on with this guy? Somebody fucking tell me. I don't understand. I don't watch, so I don't know, and if I watch, I'll be like needy. But I don't know. I just

got I just don't know. I need to know what the hell's going on with this guy.
