93. Exclusive: RHONJ Off-Camera Drama; VPR, B's Beverly Hills Epiphany; RHONY Legacy vs Reboot

Larry from @Bravobygays on Instagram and the Bravo by Gays podcast is here! We get INTO it about Vanderpump Rules - starting with Jo. We read the transcript of her interview on Rachel's Gone Rogue - is she a victim of Tom Shwartz's gaslighting? Were they actually dating last summer? Larry's thoughts on the Katie/Tori/Schwartz love triangle. What is actually going on with this Lala/Ariana feud? We have theories. What show does Larry think is Must-See-TV? Thoughts on Jax and Brittany - are they broken up for good? Summer House: We discuss Danielle and Paige; Why we think Paige is setting a great example for people (not just women) in relationships everywhere; Our real opinions on the Summer House newbies; What's going on with Kyle and Amanda?  

We're getting tips and seeing video that Jax already has one foot out of his marriage. A complete 180 from where he was a year ago? On the Valley, Kristen drops a bomb about another castmate, but then seems shocked at the backlash. We have some thoughts and observations about VPR that we're not seeing anywhere else. What is B's beef with Tom Schwartz about? And, in honor of our 100th episode, we answer Cocktailer questions. We answer Cocktailer questions, such as: What's the craziest DM you have gotten? How did the account start? What is our favorite part of doing the podcast? THANK YOU Cocktailers for coming on this podcast journey with us! We wouldn't be here without you.

Another wild week in March. How much more can we take? Monday's news about P Diddy's homes being raided by Homeland Security and his sons being cuffed, while he was allegedly flying around the islands on a private jet. Real Housewives of Potomac has us talking - the finale was definitely worth watching. There's a physical fight at the GNA party. And Mia and Gordon are getting divorced: Mia's been having an affair, and she and Gordon aren't sure whether their son is Gordon's or Mia's on-and-off affair partner. So this is going to be *quite* the reunion. We have an interesting theory on what might actually be behind Simon Guobadia's recent call to the police. Miami filming is delayed - we've got some thoughts on why. Why are we finding out so much more about Kyle and Mauricio's separation on Buying Beverly Hills? Last but not least, congrats to Ariana from VPR on the purchase of her new house. A quick update on where things stand with her house battle with Tom.    This week's episode of Cocktails and Gossip is brought to you by our sponsors: - Get 20% off your entire order at Honeylove!

Cocktailers won't be surprised to hear Marcus and Larsa are broken up (AGAIN). We've got some exclusive tea from a source on why. And – why can't Larsa just show some vulnerability for once? Watching Summer House, we're seeing the precursors to Carl and Lindsay's breakup. Cocktailers are seeing it play out much like the tea we shared - but we can't help but wonder, did Lindsay ever see the writing on the wall? Or was she so focused on winning each argument and on the wedding that she couldn't see what literally every other housemate saw regarding her relationship? And we've got a Cocktail Party exclusive on where Carl's head was at during the end of the summer when he approached Lindsay about the breakup. And last but not least, we both loved The Valley premiere and are hooked. Turns out one of the couples hasn't just broken up, but one of the new stars of the show has already moved on to a new relationship.  * Note * This podcast was recorded before the news of Princess Kate's cancer broke on 3/22/24, and we discussed theories regarding her whereabouts, so we have removed that section of the podcast.  If you haven't joined Cocktail Party yet, run to bravoandcocktails.com/join to join the party and get your first month for only $5 when you use code MARFLASH24.

Trishelle Cannatella from Traitors is here! We could have talked to her all day. She fills us in on her trip to NYC: WWHL and watching/meeting Ariana at Chicago on Broadway. Of course we have all the questions about Traitors - behind the scenes, her real thoughts on the cast, and her game strategy. We discuss five different theories on what's really happening with Princess Kate, and Trishelle weights in. Porsha and Simon's divorce keeps getting weirder - we share some exclusive tea.   This episode of Cocktails and Gossip is brought to you by our sponsors:  -AG1: Try AG1 and get a FREE 1-year supply of Vitamin D3K2 AND 5 free AG1 Travel Packs with your first purchase at drinkAG1.com/gossip  -Nutrafol: Find out why over 4,500 healthcare professionals and hair stylists recommend Nutrafol for healthier hair.

Brittany and Jax are separated. Here's why we don't think it's just a PR ploy to support their upcoming VPR spin-off, The Valley. Jax blames "communication issues", but of course we have some tea on what we're hearing could actually be the cause of the split. Did Luann bag herself a french billionaire? Erin Lichy's Hamptons home is renting for how much per month this summer? Summer House: We're watching the demise of Lindsay and Carl's relationship, and we've gotta say, Carl is being vindicated so far. Is Kyle an island among the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast? And is that why Kathy is at the reunion? The Real Housewives of New Jersey Trailer is out - and despite what we know about the divided cast, it looks like we're in for a good season.    This week's episode is brought to you by Lolavie.

Have things ever been this chaotic in the Bravoverse? Lawsuits. Multiple Breakups. Mortal enemies joining forces. There's so much to talk about. Rachel Leviss files a revenge porn lawsuit against Tom and Ariana. Then Jax and Brittany announce their separation - we have exclusive tea. Porsha files for divorce against her husband of one year, Simon Guobadia. B did a deep dive on his history of brushes with the law - let's just say there's a lot there. House of Villains theory. Teresa and Kim D have reunited and brokered peace - we've got thoughts on what could be going on behind the scenes. Leah McSweeney sues Bravo and also throws out some pretty crazy allegations. And the Wendy Williams documentary is causing a lot of talk. It's heartbreaking. Our thoughts are with her and we hope this documentary sheds light on her plight.    Have you joined Cocktail Party? For $7.50 per month (aka the cost of a Starbucks), you get access to the HOTTEST tea on Bravoandcocktails, the podcast ad-free, a bonus podcast every wednesday, access to our Discord server where we can all chat real-time on breaking news, and the opportunity to join B and Amanda on our monthly Zoom call - where we all chat, laugh, and raise a glass of whatever we're drinking together.

Larsa from RHOM interrupted our Super Bowl watch parties to let the world know she and Marcus had broken up. In her own thinly veiled way, of course. BUT, before any of the dust settled, they're seen together four days later on Valentine's Day. We have been getting lots of tea on this relationship since last year - so, since the subject came up, we share the exclusive Cocktail Party posts. We share our thoughts on couples who go through each other's phones. Porsha is back on ATL and it's got us looking forward to RHOA after a season that could only be described as "mid". We share our other RHOA casting tea, as well. While we're liking the VPR season and view into the aftermath of Scandoval, we can't help but wonder - is this the end of the road for VPR? Sandoval continues on his non-apology tour with a chat with LVP that devolves quickly. Just not a good look.   This week's episode of Cocktails and Gossip is brought to you by our partner, AG1.

Hot tea incoming on a Real Housewives of New Jersey and her husband fighting with someone in their inner circle IN PUBLIC - and some Instagram unfollowing. B's got a prediction about Teresa. Vanderpump Rules and Beverly Hills both gave us great reminders that partners need to have the sometimes hard financial discussions. Rachel Leviss was seen in NYC - what was she up to? B has an epiphany about Kyle and Dorit's friendship - Cocktailers, do you guys agree? And this week, we saw a public spat between some of our favorite RHONY Legacy ladies and some of the current Reboot housewives.    This week's episode is brought to you by Nutrafol.

This week's Grammy's award show was arguably the best ever. We felt like we had to go off our usual Housewives beat to unpack a few of the big moments with you. And we have some exclusive Cocktail Party tea to share with you about one of the night's biggest winners. Kandi is leaving RHOA, and we're hoping it's just a pause. We'll share what we're hearing about the rest of the cast. Miami is still extra spicy in Mexico - we've got thoughts on the Kiki/Lisa fight...and the ladies really bring it with the fashion.    This episode is brought to you by our sponsor, Mood.
