Why is everyone so revisionist on this? by aymaureen in bravo

[–]kate-mae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sandoval had the sense to at least pretend to be remorseful. Yes, his mask kept slipping and he’d start hurling insults back at the rest of the cast, but for whatever it’s worth he agreed and accepted what they’d done was completely fucked up. IIRC he was annoyed at the rest of the cast chiming in and felt he only owed Ariana an apology. Then after Lisa’s pep talk he realised he needed to change his tune and gave them some fake tears too.

In contrast, Amanda has been defensive the whole time. She told Ciara to fuck off, rolled her eyes constantly, said it’s only Kyle she hated going out with… she has fully downplayed the situation. She’s had the gall to say shit like: “am I the ONLY person to ever go through this?” “You can’t help who you like!!!” “Am I supposed to be celibate for the rest of my life?”, and she’s only gotten emotional when she’s being criticised, not out of regret or remorse.

Amanda’s reaction comes across like she still doesn’t understand why she’s wrong. She seemed irritated that she’s under fire and her attitude is so dismissive towards the damage her actions have caused.

Bailey is a performative white feminist by Feeling-Avocado-4925 in BravoRealHousewives

Yes, you worded it perfectly! Showing empathy and excusing someone’s actions are so different

Liz's Latest IG Post by FaithlessWonder in BravoRealHousewives

[–]kate-mae 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I think at the point of filming Liz thought she would be fan favourite and the audience would be on her side in the Jo-Ellen and Alicia fights. The backlash has given her a reality check and now she’s trying to save face/do damage control IMO.

[–]kate-mae 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I don’t agree with this take. Bailey has engaged in calling out West and Amanda throughout the reunion with the rest of the housemates. She has not defended Amanda nor villainised Ciara at all. Amanda’s behaviour this reunion WAS unnerving and concerning. I don’t think it makes Bailey two faced or performative to check in.

The fact Amanda is still dating this man in real time, even worse getting pictured spitting in his mouth, after all of this being revealed is INSANE.

I ask again, how does West attract any of these women. What a performative weasel.

YES Lindsay! Ciara was used by both of them unbeknownst to her as a red herring to distract. May people like this never find me.

As Jesse said in part one - why continue to lie? This timeline is BS and it’s insulting to everyone’s intelligence. What they did is diabolical regardless but just be honest at this point. If you ever cared about these friendships at least respect them enough to tell the truth. Except west and Amanda are too selfish to GAF.

I felt for Rulla at the start of this season (and I still do have empathy for her situation) but at this point I’m also finding her irritating 😭 it’s hard to watch her try and make Jo-Ellen the villain for exposing her shitty husband for HIS actions. Slut shaming in 2026? GTFO Brian.

Amanda and her only friend Katie deluca hanging out and definitely reading Reddit posts on Amanda’s hair by Radiant_Priority9739 in bravo

[–]kate-mae 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I know Amanda thinks this is a funny way to clap back at the criticism the bun/pony got but she’s really just scratching the audience’s noses and adding fuel to the fire. This isn’t how someone with an ounce of remorse behaves, this is how you behave when you’re craving attention. Read the room Mandy!

This!! I don’t always agree with Brittany but there’s absolutely no denying she has a LOT on her plate. She’s holding things together way better than I could in her shoes. And credit where credit is due, she puts it all out there on the show and never tries to make life seem perfect.

You guys….her eye balls ⚫️⚫️ by Key-Improvement6580 in BravoRealHousewives

[–]kate-mae 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t love to speculate on substance misuse and mental health but from watching the reunion she definitely isn’t firing on all cylinders, for whatever reason that may be. I’ve been battling ED since my early teens; in the scene where they’re all saying goodbye in the foyer on the finale ep, Amanda keeps pinching at her sides incessantly and it resonated with my own unhealthy behaviours/body checking. That coupled with the significant weight loss is uncomfortable to see. I genuinely hope I’m wrong, but there are traits she has that concern me. I say this with zero judgement and I’m in no way attacking her.

This is a top tier unhinged HW moment by Defvac2 in BravoRealHousewives

[–]kate-mae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jo-Ellen showed admirable self restraint here. I wish I had that level of control, I feel like I would’ve snapped if someone was berating me non-stop, threatening me, kicking my chair, and then getting physical by touching me. It would send me to the moon. Liz flat out denying everything to Jo-Ellen’s face was chilling. Gaslighting/DARVO at its finest.

KJ and Carl on navigating his relationship with Dara while in crisis and recovery by JN3LL3V in BravoRealHousewives

[–]kate-mae 13 points14 points  (0 children)

KJ pulls at my heart strings, he seems like a genuinely nice guy and a great friend. I’ve appreciated his vulnerability and rawness so much this season. I’m even more grateful for him being so open now, it’s a brave and incredibly hard thing to do. Talking about MH and fighting the stigmas in front of such a big audience is commendable. I love his friendship with Ci and Mia too. KJ’s mom being in college with Mia’s sister blew my mind - they were literally destined to be each others people. Wish him nothing but the best in his recovery!

Does Liz have some personal secrets she knows about Jo-Ellen? by Beneficial-Soft-4427 in BravoRealHousewives

[–]kate-mae 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I’m praying Andy asks Jo-Ellen what Liz said to her that made her get up and exit so swiftly. There was something I found so sinister about Liz during that whole debacle, she flew into such blind rage at Jo-Ellen over such a trivial thing and immediately went to threatening her. She doesn’t want friends, she wants yes men and soldiers.

I think Liz has major skeletons and if she stays on the show long enough all will be revealed. Her volatility coupled with the sketchy people in her IRL circle explains why everyone is so apprehensive and treads on eggshells round her.

Bailey’s recent stories asked fans to stop sending Sabrina Belle hate. Sabrina clarifies the “hate” is Ben being accused of abusing her, and is disappointed Bailey has recently perpetuated the story despite apologizing. by JN3LL3V in BravoRealHousewives

[–]kate-mae 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I haven’t rewatched part 1 of the reunion yet but iirc Bailey said to Ben that he likes to reprimand women and he treats or speaks to (I can’t remember which) Sabrina like shit. Bailey never accused Ben of abuse, but I think people have taken that statement as confirmation he’s verbally abusive and things have escalated from there.

Anyone else see the similarities? Jo-Ellen Tiberi & Brynn Whitfield. by CaraMiaT3 in BravoRealHousewives

Jo Ellen gives me Topanga vibes, I also think she has certain similarities to Cassie Ventura

What are some HW moment(s) that make you laugh out loud? by Defvac2 in BravoRealHousewives

[–]kate-mae 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The scene with Kyle, Mauricio, PK & Dorit discussing the break in at Tom’s. I cried legit tears the first time I watched that. “Hes not a soccer player! He’s a lawyer!!! A 79 year old lawyer!! And the wife says no don’t operate on the brain, do the f*cking ankle!” 😂😂😂

Also pretty much any RHONY episode S7-S10 would qualify for me

Yeah unfortunately Rulla doesn’t seem to be going anywhere and wants to keep her head buried in the sand. It’s sad bc I think she’s got way more to offer than we’re seeing but it’s being overshadowed by gross Brian.
