118. RHONJ Season (Or is it series?) finale; We're embarrassed for Jackie; We need plumbers!

Sean Combs, aka P. Diddy was arrested this week. Lots of shocking details in the 13 page indictment, plus we have some insight from someone who knows how the Southern District of New York operates. Real Housewives of Orange County newbie Katie - what do we think about her? Stassi is on the comeup and is throwing some shade (which we love) along the way. Real Housewives of Dubai is over - will it be back? We discuss whether Lesa controlling Ayan is a common theme in women's friendships - or just a housewife status play. And B reveals she got a not-so-nice DM from a Dubai housewife.   This week's episode of Cocktails and Gossip is brought to you by our sponsors.

We have missed Larry @BravobyGays and we are so happy to have him join our chaos. We have a lot to say about Hulu's The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. It involves all of our favorite things to talk about - sex, religion, cheating, backstabbing, drama. We need season 2! In Bravo news, Dr. Nicole and the "will she/won't she" return conversation has us all on the edge of our seats. B has some great insight on what might be motivating her hesitance to return. And will we be seeing Nene on our screens again?    This week's episode of Cocktails and Gossip is brought to you by our sponsors, Lolavie and Nutrafol.

Amanda's dog is a jerk. The Mistress in Miami seems to find herself single again. Shocking. We have some exclusive Real Housewives of Miami tea about who may or may not be continuing on the show and who may or may not have been demoted. And where is Alexia's head in her on again, off again relationship with Todd? We can't stop watching Tamra's face peel off on social - it's must see viewing each day. And Vicki really went in after Tamra - we think they're both going way too low and they both need to stop. Oh, the Valley, the gift that never seems to stop giving us drama. We've got more exclusive tea this week about Brittany and separately about a new person filming this season who has ties to Michelle and her boyfriend...love triangle??? And did Jesse and Lexi from Summer House continue their romance now that summer is over?   This episode of Cocktails and Gossip is brought to you by our sponsors:  -TUSHY: Over 2 Million Butts Love TUSHY.

So much happening in the Bravoverse this week, we barely knew where to start. First, well wishes to Vicki from RHOC who is recovering from a near death illness. Alexis Bellino is engaged to Jimmy J, and we wish them well. But will Alexis' divorce settlement prevent her from actually marrying Johnny Aioli? Tamra is getting a lot of heat for her treatment of Shannon. Vanderpump Rules' future is being questioned - will there be another season? We have some exclusive info on this from a source. And in other VPR news, Brittany filed for divorce - and for full custody, which tells us there's more to the story. And we have some info on what may have led to Jax going into rehab. Plus a theory on why Brittany finally filed.  And we have SO MUCH tea on what's actually happening with the whole cast of The Valley and why they're divided, plus who's on which side. So much drama and mess and we are here for it.   This week's episode is sponsored by Nutrafol. Find out why over 4,500 healthcare professionals and stylists recommend Nutrafol for healthier hair.

Jenn Fessler joins us this week - she is authentic, real, and answers the hard questions. We got a preview of her new song. She reveals something surprising - there is a surprising piece of information that all of the RHONJ housewives knew going into filming and throughout filming the season. Jenn's favorite and least favorite parts of being a housewife, plus where she stands with each of the women. And, best of all, she shares a little preview of her new song. Jenn also graciously gave Cocktailers an exclusive discount on her sexy yet comfortable line of stiletto heels, F Major. Go to shopfmajor.com and enter code COCKTAILS for 25% off!

We kick off with a back to school tangent. And of course, we talk Real Housewives of New Jersey and the non-reunion as we're calling it. Is it the end of the show as we know it? Another tangent - the meanness of some of the fan accounts is just a line too far. Is Teresa spiraling after seeing bad fan reactions to her saying that she didn't care about what Louie said about Marge and her son suffering? We have a theory about why Johhnie Aioli might actually be suing Shannon. And the RHONY trailer is out and we have some insight into some of the eyebrow-raising clips...   This week's episode of Cocktails and Gossip is brought to you by our sponsors, Jenni Kayne, Lolavie and Nutrafol.    - Jenni Kayne: Find your forever pieces @jennikayne and get 15% off with promo code GOSSIP15 at jennikayne.com/GOSSIP15! #jennikaynepartner - Lolavie: Get 15% off LolaVie with code GOSSIP at https://www.lolavie.com/GOSSIP! #lolaviepod - Nutrafol: Get $10 off your first month’s subscription and free shipping when you go to Nutrafol.com and enter the promo code GOSSIP.  

Is RHONJ coming back? We share the latest tea. We go deep on the season (or is it series?) finale of Real Housewives of New Jersey. Who's lying? Dolores or Marge? B has a theory about a scene being filmed later than portrayed. Our unpopular opinion on Jen Fessler peacing out on lunch. There were some great one-liners this episode. And, B's tangent - We need plumbers!   

Amanda shares a little about her week getting married and about her "oops" that may force cosmetic surgery a little sooner than she thought. Real Housewives of New Jersey has everyone up in arms, and even Andy's commenting about the show's future on his radio show. Get out your tiny violins, Cocktailers, we discuss "Teresa's Big Announcement" and we have thoughts about what Teresa might actually be stressed and upset about. Could it be that maybe everyone is right? Maybe both the ex and Luis are toxic? And we were fully entertained by Marge's shady flowers...we fully expect that card to be on display in Andy's clubhouse. We both enjoyed this week's episode of OC...and give Gina props for choosing her children, even if we don't believe that's the full reason Travis is moving out. Alexis' Johnny J press tour continues...but what in the name of Jesus' jugs made her think her big revelation would actually make him look better? Vicki's getting sued, and everyone else seems to be running with that news, but we have a little different outlook.    Today's podcast is brought to you by our sponsors: - By focusing on the cellular aspects of aging, OneSkin keeps your skin looking and acting younger for longer.

Real moms of Bravo Abby & Vanessa join B this week. Expect to here about F boys, OC insider scoop , Jersey insider scoop. And all of B and the ladies opinions on everything from VPR to the publicist. Yes, we get into it, we break it down. We laugh and we spill all the tea. It is not to be missed

First, a tribute to Shannen Doherty - we will miss her. She was unapologetically herself and we feel like we lost a friend this week. Tom Sandoval continues to villainize himself - he just filed a lawsuit against Ariana for "invading his right to privacy" through her "unauthorized and unpermitted access to, use of, and copying of the data on his cell phone and the distribution to Rachel Leviss". We have thoughts on that and his very strange 4am Instagram live with his girlfriend. We have breaking news on the Real Housewives of Orange County. And, a Cocktails and Gossip exclusive about the future of Real Housewives of New Jersey. We can't tell you all the details yet, but we share what we can and definitely encourage you to keep an eye on Cocktail Party next week for more.    This episode of Cocktails and Gossip is brought to you in part by OneSkin.
