00:01:25
Speaker 1: Me to talk about anything else after that. So first thing first, ladies, Judgle mcgabe and they they be Lisa Renna. It's the hot topic of the day. She not only shaded Sudden Strap, she has said that she was drug at the premiere party for The Traders. Okay, and as if Lisa Renna could not get a more content to talk about, she also shaded Garcev Buvey and reunited with Andy Cohen. So let's get right into it. As you all know, Lisa Renna is enjoying the high the Traders, being on the Traders, and she now has a new book. It's a memoir called you Better Believe. I'm gonna talk about it, and baby does she Okay? This memoir is so juicy and Misthink does not hold back. One of the things she talks about is when she stepped away from Bravo. She said that it was better for her bottom line. I eat her money because she listen to this, Lisa Renner reveals that she was spending so much money pouring into her wardrobe for the show Let's have a real conversation rain drops Erica Jane entering that show. I think season five she is the reason all of those girls started wearing couture, started to put their gape up when it comes to the fashion, the same way Marlon Hampton did it. Let's have a real conversation now the satway Marlon Hampton did it on Atlanta Housewise as a friend of Okay, Erica Jane set the mark for fashion when it came to Beverly Hills Housewives because prior to Erica Jane, these girls were were a moo moos. These girls wore wear true religion jeans Honey, these girls were were a blazer with a thirteen below top child. These girls were were close from Ross, TJ Max, Charlotte Ruse. Now they're wearing Saint John, Honey, Ebasa Chi and g g All because of Erica Jane. So this is what Lisa Renna said in her book. She said, after spending my life savings to look good on air, it's probably a blessing in disguise that I left before bankruptcy. This is no shade, Lisa Rena. Clothes never gave you high passion. Lisa, you were better off continue to wear the clothes at Kmart because the clothes you were wearing on Bible Hills Housewives never gave me high passion. They never did. Never, No Erica Jane, Yes, Colrid Chard's apps of freaking lootly honey darek. Yes, you know what I'm saying, sing, Sure, you know, uh, but that's about it. But my point is I never looked at Lisa Renna as a fashion girl. I never looked at Lisa Renna and fashion in the same sentence. She never gave when it came to the wardrobe. She gave when it came to shade, she gave when it came to entertainment, but when it came to fashion, her and her turtlenecks just never did eat it be for me. So I'm shocked that my girl was about to go bankrupt keeping up with the James. Not the Jones's bitch. She was keeping up with the Jans as an Erica. So just like they said the Mathew Mathew, the fashion was a fashioning because it never gave and I felt I felt bad that she was about to go bankrupt, thinking she was giving us fashion when all the while it just wasn't giving that. And I'll leave it at that. But she also said this to her book. When they asked her about what grade she would give herself, she said, overall, I give myself an a minus for my fashion choices on the show. Lisa fucking Renna, you are fucking out of your mind. I love you down Booms. You are that girl. You will forever be Billy non Gene, you would ever be billy baby. When it comes to your soap opera career, an a minus. Nothing in terms of your word Drobe gave a minus. Your performance okay as a housewife, I would give that an a minus for sure. You were excellent on the show. When it comes to the fashions, miss thingk, you were definitely a D, not D plus, not D minus. It gave D. It gave D for down trodden, it gave D for dusty, it gave D for doing the least. I mean that's I mean, I disagree, not the D stands for disagree. Let me no rain drops. Let's have a real conversation. Let you know if y'all have greelled, disagree with me, because I'm telling you everybody now, it never gave it, just end gave passions. But she gives a minus performance as a housewife, and I stand on that. Now. When it comes to Sutton, Lisa Renna had this to say. Let's start with Sutton, who is living pre money can't buy you taste. I had to pretend that her offit was cute. That's some of the best acting I've ever done. Whoa the rain drops? She did not envre she said this about Ston. She's frumpy. There's no sex appeal about her whatsoever her and she's got a weird body, so God bless her. The body shaming. I mean, I think that's even low for you to Lisa Rena. Listen, it's her book, it's her memoir. She can say what she wants. That was a very low blow. That was a very low blow. Could we could have kept I had to pretend that her opic was cute. That's the best acting I've ever done. We could have kept it at that. Okay, I understand it, I receive it. I'm here for it. But to say she's frumpy and she's got a weird body. Listen, you don't have to be a sudden fan or not to be like that was wrong. I just I don't know. I just thought that was tasteless. I mean, is this all over the Elton John tickets? Because I don't know what it did to Lisa Renna for her to have that the disceral venomous er trawl shade. I'm shocked she went there. She I don't know, and I'm shocked that she went there only because you know, Lisa Renna talked about body struggles herself. You know, we know that when it came to her talk through her daughters about you know, body images and all of that stuff. I'm just shocked she went there. Lisa Renna definitely is a polarizing, shocking celebrity. I am shocked that she went there to describe her body. I'm shocked. I that wore me out. Not the type of wording out in terms of the fabrics that Lisa Renta would wear on the show. This wore me out, baby, I that was love. That was Oh but this is the crazy part. This is the crazy part. It actually gets worse because Lisa let me think he's out there. This memoir is juicy and I'm kind of here for it, okay. She also brings up Garcea Bouvet and Denise Richards. She calls them full blown narcissists. She claims they joined Real Housewives of Beverly Hills with an agenda, and she also talks about that infamous moment in Amsterdam. With Kim Richards. Okay, so this is what she had to say. She said that Garcilla came onto the show with an agenda we mixed like oil and water, and she was firmly on Denisa's side. According to Lisa, uh, she's saying that Garcelle was the narcissist hunter. I'm sorry. According to Lisa, Lisa said that she was the narcissist hunter of Beverly Hills because she was really good at susting them out. So she's calling herself, okay, the narcissist hunter because she was able to sust out who she felt were the narcissists of the show. She said, all those women are full blow narcissists. I'm talking garcell Sutton and Denise. I was always called a bad friend because I did not support these newbies when they first came on the show. But it was because I found out they were bad dudes. They put on a good show, but on a fundamental level, we just did not buy it at all. She described Denise richards first season at an eventful and recalled how Denise wrinched Denise Richards, excuse me, she turned her sophomore year on a rampage She says this, I noticed right away she wasn't being buddy buddy with me. Maybe she knew she didn't make much of an impression of her first season. Maybe producers told her she needed to step it up. Who knows, But that's when she came at Guarsell and me at her backyard barbecue, saying we were talking about three something in front of her kids. She'll never cop to this, but the niece came in with an agenda and it pissed me off. I thought it was shady. She goes on to say, I realized my relationship with de Niee was superficial when I turned on her after the barbecue piasco. She gasled me to no end. This is reality with the King, and I'm Carlos King. Let's get back into the show. Now. Look, before I get to what else she said about Garcel, let's stop there talk about Denise. I can see that one of the most interesting things about hiring actors to be reality stars. And I've worked with actors who became reality stars, and one thing I will say to you, it's very hard for them not to be in character with their own set. They feel like they're on a movie set. And they treat it as if they have to tap into this character in order to be entertaining. And I'm sorry, listener, and I love you now. I think you also have a little bit of that in you too. I do believe in real life you're a whack a do and a's a compliment, but I do believe you know how to turn it on and all because you are a great actress. On Trainers not so much, but on Housewives you were excellent. So the guard Selah Denise do that. Sure, that wouldn't surprise me at all, especially when you've been acting because you were in your early twenties. So yes, I could see that for sure. I could see Denise coming in with an agenda. Absolutely okay. But I feel like Lisa Brenna does it too, when she delivered the line to Durry, are people doing coping your bathroom? Like that was a character that was a lie that she that she knew she was going to say. So again, I'm not mad at Denise for doing it, just like I'm not mad Amlee Surena for doing it. It is what it is now when it comes to Garcel, she confirmed that she no longer speaks to Garsel describing her as a huge disappointment. Lisa did say though, that her and Denise briefly reconciled after a close betrothed friend of theirs passed away. She talked about how they got a call together. It was paid hopeful moment. Then a couple of days later we got into it again about something stupid. She took my olive branch and stuck it back of my eye. I haven't communicated with her since you have to ask her why she would do such a thing. My hypothesis is that she'll never get over the boof you're so angry comment. Can't be mad at her for that. Okay. Now with that being said, she also gets into the infamous Amsterdam moment where she lunched at Kim Richard's after Kim Richards said, you don't want to talk about the husband's okay. Also in that moment is when the iconic Aileen Davidson said, you beast, how dare you? I invite you to my home? Yes? Okay. She talks about that moment and she talks about how the reason why she broke the glass is because when Kim Richards made that comment about let's not talk about the husbands. Let's not talk about what you don't want to put out there. She said she lunged at her and then stopped and decided to break the glass because she didn't want to go to prison in Amsterdam. That's what she says, Okay. She also addressed rumors that Harry Hamlin is gay, which a lot of people are saying. That's what Kim Richards was allegedly trying to put out there. That when Kim Richard said let's not talk about the husbands, she was allegedly going to talk about the gay rumors. Okay, So this is what she had to say about the gay rumors as relates to here. When you're a good looking man in Hollywood with a good sense of style, that adds up to is he gay. Let's just clear this up one last time, once and for all. Harry's heterosexual. He is not a gay man in any way, shape or form, not that there's anything wrong with that. I have actually never heard those rumors until Housewives. I just figured bitches will say anything to get my hackles up, so it never concerned me. My reaction was always more, why you mad boo? Besides, every husband's sexuality was questioned at some point on the show. I know I will say this. I grew up watching Harry Hamlin and Lisa Rena on the soaps. I never heard the gay rumors. And again I think a lot that came out because of what Kim Richards was allegedly trying to intimate. So that was that, but maybe this book is explosive. She also went on watching What Happens Live because in the book she talked about how Andy Cohen revealed the text message that she sent to him in the book and how she felt that was so rude. Although he gave her heads up, she said it was still appropriate that he did it. She was unwatching Happens Live. They talked about it and he admitted he was wrong for doing it. He apologized to her, and he also gave her her flowers, saying that he appreciates the fact that she was a part of two very important moments in her life. Number one the baby shower, how she got all the girls up on the tables to dance, and when he got his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. She was filming that day, but she made it to the event to say a speech, and how they all went out to lunch afterwards, and how she sat next to his mom during the lunch, so he did give her floppers for that. She looked very much appreciative of that as well, which is good because now we get to you know, look, I hope in the perfect world that she comes back from the show. I think the show needs her. I think the break did something great to her. Although Lisa Renna said she would never go back, I'm hopeful she may consider it. But when it comes to Kathy Hilton and the Aspen drama, she said she thought that Bravo gave Caffy special treatment, and she just thought that, you know, when she saw Kathy Hilton's publicist at the reunion when they never ever ever were allowed to bring any guests to the reunion, she felt that while the network's on Cafy side and I'm done, and she says that's pretty much the reason why she decided to lead, because she felt that the network was protecting Kathy. She says in the book that she witnessed Kathy's bad behavior over the course of filming that season, especially on our trip to Aspen, and I think the Hiltons had tried to hide it. They had that had been their gold entire time. This is what she says in the book. She goes on to say, they spend years and years covering it up, and all of a sudden, I've called it out a national team, but I was not going to protect her. I was going to call her out on it, and that is what I did. She goes on to describe that famous Aspent incident that did night happened on camera. She said, there were no lights on, she flipped. It was pounding on the walls, screaming and yelly and absolutely losing her fucking shit, and it scared me. I had never ever had anybody behave like that in front of me in my entire life, and then freaking the fuck out. So I spoke of it, and I was little inn eyed for that. She says she felt victim to the Hilton Richards machine. This is what she says. It has really done a lot of work to sleep that. I'm sorry, it has really done a lot of work to keep that undercover. They were not about to let Lisa Renna fuck that up. Bravo went along with it, and so did Andy Cohen. I went down for it. Took the fall because they spent too many years and too much money protecting their name, she said. Following the taping of the reunion, she sent the message to her producers and to Andy, informing them that she would not be returning to the show for season thirteen. And that's when that email made it to Andy's book, she said. After she read it, she was so mad she threw the book in her fireplace and Washingtonburg gleefully. She had thought Aramatic, I love her. She's crazy in a good way. But yeah, and in the end, rain Drops, this is what Lisa Rena has to say.

00:22:46
Speaker 4: While she mentioned that she brought that show so much and gave her her all, she felt that nobody had her back, and she said, and I quote, nobody fought from me. Nobody said, oh my god, please stay, don't go.

00:23:02
Speaker 1: I was pretty much left or did by everyone who have been in my life for eight years. Nobody had my back, not even Andy especially so raindolf Man, you got it. Let me know what you think about that, Okay, let me know what you think about what Lisa Renna had to say about what happened in her time of Bravo and everything else. Do you agree with her? Do you disagree with her, let me know in the comments. Okay, but baby, make sure you guys pick up a copy of her book. It is really, really, really juicy. Once again, her book is called well her memoir honey memoirle is called you better believe I'm going to talk about it. Okay, now in sad news, I think you all know this by now, But unfortunately, Oh Real Housewives on Salt Lake City star Mary Cosby, her son Robert Jr. Has passed away at the age of twenty three. Robert died Monday in Utah. The cause of death is unclear, but police responded to a possible overdose and it turned into a death investigation upon arrival. Police in Salt Lake City told TMZ they responded Monday night to a call for a full arrest medical emergency for a twenty three year old male. TMZ was told that fire and paramedics were dispatched. It that's to happened. As you all know, Robert Junior was suffering through drug addiction that we all saw on the show. He is Mary's only child, and my heart goes out to her, to Robert Senior, the entire family. This is devastating, shocking. He just got out of jail a few weeks ago, and in his last Instagram post that was posted on February third, he captioned it with saying, I'm back. Yeah, It's just it's devastating news.

It has been revealed that they pushed back production of the show. The show was in pre production and I believe they were supposed to start filming next week if I'm not mistaken, but that has since been postponed. No word on, obviously, what's going to happen with Mary if she's going to continue on with the show or not, that's going to be her decision, obviously, And it's just sad. It's really sad. Addiction is real. Please have grace for those who are going through addiction. It's it's it's everybody finds to their addiction differently. And he was only twenty three years old.
