126. Back to the Big Apple; Shannon's Love Hotel scandal; Has Tamra gone too far? Jax and Brittany's divorce update

This week, we have our fabulous team member and fellow Bravo lover, Tracy on the pod! Teddi Mellencamp announced that she and her husband, Edwin Arroyave are getting divorced. There's a lot to unpack, including a lot of exclusive tea about what has been going on behind closed doors, plus some theories on the odd timing of the filing coming a week after their PDA-filled appearance at an event. Why is Teddi getting so much hate during such a terrible time? And why, if they are such great friends, are we hearing that Tamra is allegedly spilling Teddi's private business to people in a very public way? There's a new Peacock competition show - what's the premise and who might be appearing? And on Potomac, is Karen having an existential crisis?   This week's episode of Cocktails and Gossip is brought to you by our sponsors, LolaVie and Jenni Kayne.   -Get 15% off LolaVie with code GOSSIP15 at lolavie.com/GOSSIP15   -Find your forever pieces and get 15% off with promo code GOSSIP15 at jennikayne.com/GOSSIP15

Is anyone else decorating for the holidays yet? Whitney Rose's new company is an MLM and there's allegedly been some shady business about their conference. Plus, Amanda's story about when she thought she was being asked out on a date...but it was actually an MLM lunch. Traitors season 4 is currently casting - and we have news on when season 3 will air. Growing up in the 90s in Beverly Hills was wild. RHOC continues to be full of fighting and betrayal. Were Tamra and Shannon ever actually friends? Or was it an alliance the whole time? The Southern Charm trailer is out and the season looks juicy. Craig grew up in Never Neverland, and Austen is salty about it. JT gives us the ick. We have an update for you on the Naomie Olindo case. The RHOBH trailer also came out, and it looks like Dorit is bringing it, just as we've heard. And RHONY was great this week - the Clueless party was ICONIC. We share our favorite looks and what we're hearing about the show ending filming early.  This week's episode of Cocktails and Gossip is brought to you by our sponsors.  -VImergy: Get quality and convenience in every drop with Vimergy.

Spoiler alert: stand down everyone, we're not coming for Jeff Lewis. We got called out on his radio show this week - but we stand by what we said... Here's why we think RHONY is great this season. And we are noticing some interesting changes in Jenna Lyons this season. And we've got theories about Ubah and Sai's beef with Brynn. In RHONJ OG news, Dina Manzo's ex was convicted and sentenced for hiring a man to assault her husband. And in uncharacteristic fashion, both Dina and her daughter Lexi have made public statements. It's heartbreaking. Not sure how it's possible how we got tea that's 10+ years old and STILL entertaining, but we got some on Danielle from RHONJ, lol. Lots of buzz around Vanderpump Rules.

This week, we have Melissa from @yourbishtherapist talking all things housewives, including how she found herself at the center of big drama with Tamra Judge from Real Housewives of Orange County. What does it mean to be emotionally stunted, and is it caused by nature or nurture? What is financial infidelity? How does trauma affect the real housewives, and how do we see it manifest on our screens?

First, our thoughts and love go to those affected by Hurricanes Helene and Milton. The tea on the Valley keeps coming, and we seemingly have an unpopular opinion about it. Is Vanderpump Rules filming being held up by egos? Speaking of VPR, there's a tie to Momtok and Scheana's talking to anyone and everyone about it. Potomac is back. Mia comes in hot with the daddy drama. Karen takes no accountability for her DUI - despite the fact that she is charged with 8 different counts and will be facing a trial. The new housewives are promising. On RHONY, of course we've got to talk about Abe and Erin's marital issues. Is financial betrayal worse/as bad as cheating? B's got opinions about Brynn, and why won't Becky Minkoff talk about her religion?    This week's episode of Cocktails and Gossip is brought to you by our sponsors:  -Tushy: Give yourself a little self care moment every day with a TUSHY bidet.

RHONY is back and we are loving it. The women have seemingly all evolved their friendships/alliances. Is Brynn stirring the pot for fun or to make good tv? Erin's got a lot on her shoulders this season. We're intrigued by Raquel. Did Tamra go too far speaking about Ryan from OC on Watch What Happens Live?    This week's episode of Cocktails and Gossip is brought to you by our sponsors: -Branch Basics: Choose Branch Basics because cleanliness matters and get 15% off your entire order at BranchBasics.com/GOSSIP with promo code GOSSIP. -Nutrafol: Cocktailers, get $10 off your first month’s subscription and free shipping when you go to Nutrafol.com and enter the promo code GOSSIP. -OneSkin: Get 15% off OneSkin with the code GOSSIP at oneskin.co   And don't miss out on the Dateable podcast – this podcast will help you feel inspired to date differently and create a love life that works for you.

So much going on in the Bravoverse this week. And we have some news that we share at the beginning of the pod. In Momtok news, we have some exclusive tea about one of the Mormon Wives allegedly cheating (publicly) on her husband. And that's not all, sounds like she's had quite a bit of drama in her personal life for years - we get into it. Salt Lake City is off to a fantastic start. Battles are already being had, one liners are being served. Michelle from the Valley just committed one of Amanda's pet peeves. And after she looks up how to play Jenga, Alexis might need to look up the word "career" in the dictionary.   This week's episode of Cocktails and Gossip is brought to you by our sponsors. -Zocdoc: Stop putting off those doctors appointments.Go to Zocdoc.com/COCKTAILS to find and instantly book a top-rated doctor today.   

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.
