None of these ladies can keep a secret, but I guess the confrontations make for better tv.  |

Caught the episode last night. First of all if Monique doesn't want people to talk about her drinking and driving she shouldn't be talking about it herself so much. Second, I too feel like sometimes Gis and Robyn can be bullies, but they were right calling Monique out for telling Candiace to do one thing and she herself not following her own advice. I do not understand how Ashley's mother can expect to be totally taken care of by Michael and Ashley. Helping is one thing, if she cant get by on her own income and is taking help from them- they (or Michael in this case) can decide not to help ESPECIALLY if the boyfriend is a moocher as he is portrayed to be. Granted I dont know all the details, maybe he/they have something keeping them from working or taking on a second job. I for one would not want to depend on my daughter's husband's money to get by.

Completely agree what a mess that situation with Michael, Ashley and her mom. I have to just shake my head at it. Must be additional things we aren't seeing as a viewer that's going on as I don't get it.

As a mom....(mind you my daughter is only 5 haha) I would never expect my daughter and her husband to take care of me (or my low life boyfriend) while knowing it is causing her marriage problems. Her mom was being completely irrational. Not that I like Michael...or that he's giving Ashley an ultimatum. But he has a point.

He does have a point and I don't know get why the mother is acting the way she is. Maybe I am missing something but she is being irrational.

Monique is so concerned about her image, yet she threatens to choke Robin with her umbrella.
ETA: I am so tired of Ashley inserting herself into everyone else's relationships.

Candiace needs over $100,000 for her wedding. Wow!
ETA: I wonder how much money Karen actually donated to charity.

Candiace needs over $100,000 for her wedding. Wow! ETA: I wonder how much money Karen actually donated to charity. Correction - she needs over $100,000 MORE for the wedding! She certainly showed us a lot of warning signs for that marriage in last nights episode. First her behavior over the budget and insisting everything has to be her way shows that she cares more about the party and being the center of attention than she does the marriage. Second, the discussion that they had after the charity event about the fight they had showed they don't fight well. They both went in for hurting each other for the sake of winning the fight. I give him credit for the way that they talked it out after. But if they fight that way every time things don't go their way they are going to find it hard to stay together. |

She seems like such a spoiled brat when she doesn't get her way. I can't blame him for telling her she's a spoiled princess. I mean I guess it's not the best thing to call your fiance but the girl needs a wake up call. She wants to spend $170,000 on her wedding! Trees and two dresses and 400 people. None of which are necessary. Good for her dad for telling her no on getting more money. I can't imagine that this marriage will last long. Speaking of which. I feel terrible for Ashley. She needs to get out and get out fast. |

None of which are necessary. Good for her dad for telling her no on getting more money. I can't imagine that this marriage will last long. Speaking of which. I feel terrible for Ashley. She needs to get out and get out fast. I agree on both counts. Candace is showing she has not been told no very often in life, and has not been faced with many times she had to make decisions taking what she could afford into consideration. I'm sure that's a great life if you can get it, but if you have it and don't feel gracious about it, then don't be surprised when people call you spoiled and entitled. It's the very definition of spoiled and entitled! I think that Chris would have been better off long term if he'd been more honest with her in that conversation - if he'd been bold enough to say "Yes, when you know we can't afford everything you want in your wedding and refuse to cut anything and pout that people are not giving more money, that's acting like a diva and a princess." It was nice that he was emphathetic to her reaction to being called those things - but she's not going to change if the people who love her the most are not willing to tell her the truth about who she is. With Ashley - I think that when they got married, her husband saw her as young and moldable, willing to do whatever he said. Now she's grown into a more mature woman who has her own wants and needs and he doesn't know what to do with that. She deserves someone who loves her for who she is - not for who she's willing to give up being to make him happy. |

The text that Candace sent to her fiancé was below the belt. Some things should never be said to your loved ones.

Robin made an interesting point about that text when she was on WWHL. She said that to blurt something like that out in the middle of a fight is below the belt but sometimes mistakes are made in the moment. To say it in a text means there's room to hesitate before she hit send, and she didn't. That makes it worse.

Something tells me that isn't the first time Candiace and her fiance have had it out like that. She is very spoiled and should get that under control if she intends on her marriage lasting. Not really feeling her as a new addition to the season.
Karen is still pissed Robyn repeated the private conversation about her tax situation and Gizelle wearing that t-shirt at the press conference with no press. They kept harassing her over the whole thing. So her backing out of Robyn's charity event and inviting Sherman's ex wife should not be a shock. Tit for tat. Gizelle and Robyn are way too pressed about this. They are all shady and are more frenemies than friends. And that's why RHOP cracks me up!

I wonder if Gisselle and Robyn hesitating to go to France was acting. I thought their contract made them go on these trips.

Gisselle is messy & Robin is her puppet. Since Robin's financial status has improved she's become quite mouthy & rude.

Gizelle and Robyn find anything to get mad at. Like why does it matter if Monique upgraded to first class? It's her birthday and she paid for the whole damn trip. I like that Gizelle is funny but those two are too much every where they are invited to.

Watching the reunion last night, Michael needs to take a lesson from the 2 Chrises in how to be a husband on this show. He came across HORRIBLY! The way he was going after Ray was petty and cruel, and lowered him to being a small enough man that i was hoping he'd never face such misfortunes in his own life to have to face such treatment from anyone else. He's no doubt the one who runs over with a box of salt anytime he sees someone suffering from a new open wound! The more I see him on the show, the more I wonder why Ashley wants to make things work with him, outside of the pride of saying she's stuck to her marriage. I think that people who have suggested that he married her as a trophy wife may be right. At the time they got married, Ashely could settle for that. But she's grown into being her own woman now, and deserves a man who will appreciate her for that instead of constantly working so hard to put her in her place. It made me cringe when she said they are moving forward with having a baby. Ashley deserves to raise a baby with a man who will treat her as a partner in a family. I think all Michael is to her is a means to an end to have a baby. Being a mother is too much work to settle for that.
I was also impressed with the way Karen handled Ashley and the ways that Ashley is constantly trying to force her to be more open about her life. I think it's evident to anyone watching that Karen is all about image over sincerity. That's who she is. Ashley has made a sport of trying to knock down those walls and force Karen to be more open and honest. She's said on multiple occasions that she wants Karen to be as honest as she is. But that's not a realistic expectation. She needs to accept Karen for being the woman she is. Karen is not going to be an open book anymore than Ashley is going to learn to keep her thoughts to herself in order to be proper.
I have not been a fan of Karen and Ray in the past. But they both won me over a bit last night with the way they each conducted themselves.

Hi Girly 18.
I heard that Ashley deleted her post soon after posting it.
I also heard that the accuser had a temporary restraining order on Michael because of a different incident.
The accuser wanted a permanent restraining order but it was denied.
Now this has happened.
All the Bravo related shows are getting more salacious off screen than on.
