Yeah, so the Harry Megan book has been extremely explosive and such a pop culture phenomenon and it doesn't even matter what my opinion is or anyone's opinion is. Um. But I was thinking when the texts between Megan and Kate were made public, which just like, that's so crazy that someone could share with the media texts between family members, much less royal family members. It's crazy. I bet you in the future, families family members will have to sign
n D A s AL. They'll get sued. Although you know, like in the future, if someone is dating Prince George when he's older and he's going there, going and and she or he is going to be around the royal family with him, they'll probably have to sign an NDA, no question about it. If you thought your text would be released, Uh, they could never do that. On The Housewives.
It made me really think of the Housewives, like Megan is playing from the Housewives handbook, because when we first started out in the Housewives, no one showed receipts at a reunion, No one ever dare read someone's text. That started happening years later, and that's a common practice now in the Housewives too. Show texts to print out pages of correspondence show emails. And it's funny because on this
podcast I've talked about how crazy that is. Like I'm friends with Kelly Ripper, for example, and I can text her crazy things. She knows no one's ever reading them. She knows that I would never It's like part of my code barring something illegal, like ring you know, something seriously illegal, where you you must prove something you know. I can't believe that people share text and I've even had people share my messages that go through Instagram publicly,
like to you know, for clickbait. I cannot imagine sharing texts between myself and someone else unless it were a very very serious matter, life or death, stealing or illegal. I can't really imagine that. And it's just funny the things that get glossed over. So okay, argument's sake, every single word Harry Megan say is true. They've had a terrible time of it. We don't need me to go on about it again. But just the fact that Megan would share texts between Kate and Megan, because there are
probably it never ends this Housewives. This is housewives, So so what happens with the Housewives is someone shares with seats and then someone says, oh, what about that time when this happens. So I'm sure Kate, I mean, but Kate's not playing in the Housewives sandbox. Like Kate is rising above as a member of the royal family. She cannot go back and forth and start showing whatever text she has or whatever story she has. One party is totally silent and the other is talking, and that can
be frustrating. That can be frustrating. It happened to me during my divorce. I said not a word. People had a certain feeling about things, and there was nothing I could do until things came out years later. Uh. And there were a couple of people that worked within the
have worked surrounding the royal family. They're no longer there, and they have said that the Royal Family is not really running down the hall every chance they get to leak something just because somebody's not getting enough attention, or because it just doesn't seem that plausible that like every time Megan got more popular than Kate, that they would put negative stories. It just it just doesn't all track that much. It's very Housewives. So Megan Marco is showing receipts.
M okay, so Lisa Arena has left the building. Um, she brought it. She was an iconic housewife. In fact, in the beginning I called Andy and said that Lisa would be a great housewife and he was not into it, and um, I told him he should reconsider. And Lisa and her husband called me to ask me if they should do it when it came about. Same with the apprentice, because they asked me about that too, and she did really bring it. She was not someone who was afraid
to get dirty. She really did immerse herself. When I used to see her in the crossovers that I would do, she used to wear just like the sheep dresses and have that signature short hair. And then to be honest, I Erica Jane started a whole onslaught of labels and glam squads, and Erica is the reason that Dorey and Kyle everybody have their fashion level at that game. It's fully the award for greatest impact on glam and fashion
in the Housewives undeniably goes to Erica Jane. Dory hopped up and found her own thing with her hair in the fashion. But if you go back and look at the read season one, it wasn't like that because of Erica Jane and the way that she treated every scene like a stage. Everybody else stepped it up. And Lisa
Rinna is the greatest example of that. If you go back and watch how she used to dress and in the end with the Fendi suits head to toe and the glam and the hair, and we call her and the alter egos, and she really she really did change. Like she was absolutely different style wise and otherwise. She really immersed herself in that entire culture. Uh so much so that she just was different, like personally and professionally. She just seemed different as someone who knew her before
and after. She just seems some people the show changes, and um, Lisa definitely definitely changed. She became more of a character in many ways. But you know, God lover, she will do anything for you know, the check the headline that depends like and she came on the show needing the gig and she made it last for eight years. I mean, she really was on for a long time. She probably made a lot of money, she made a
lot of deals. She changed her life and syon Aara and people ask if it doesn't matter if she got fired or not. You know, I'm sure her contract was up and Bravo probably just didn't renew. The audience probably needed a little cleanser. Uh. I think she was maybe love to love. Um. I think she was maybe love to hate, meaning people love to hate her. And then I think she might have become hate to hate. And I want to explain what that means. Hate to hate.
If someone hates to hate a character, it's because it's making them feel bad about themselves, like they feel a little ikey watching. And it has happened on Jersey, It's happened on different shows, happen on Atlanta. It's when the show has jumped the shark. They have to make a change because it's just not fun for the viewer anymore. And the viewer is there to escape and to have fun. And I think that that is part of what happens.
And you can't really blame the housewives because in order to stay on the Housewives, you have to have a storyline. In order to have a storyline, you can't really be the under the radar Kristen Takeman Jacqueline player. You have to really get in there, and to get in there means you might be in the line of fire, so it's hard to figure out the dance of how deep to go
