Read Around the Rosies: RHORI Recap

00:00:03
Speaker 1: Reality with the King is hosted by me, Carlos King. I'm an executive producer who have produced some of your favorite shows from the Real Housewives in Atlanta, New Jersey and my own creation, The Love and Marriage Franchise and Bell Collective. Every episode we recap reality television from the Real Housewives Franchise to The Bachelor or Selling Sunset, in addition to celebrity guests, whether in the unscripted space or scripted as well.

00:00:36
Speaker 2: All rain drops, Happy Monday.

00:00:40
Speaker 1: There is so much going on today, but we have to get into the Real Housewives of Rhoe Island because baby, the way Rosie drag Kelsey not only dragged her verbally, the woman dragged her luggage, went out on the street. It said, bitch, get the fuck.

00:01:03
Speaker 2: Out of my house.

00:01:05
Speaker 1: This is the type of content that we need, okay to start our week. So shout out to Rosie because baby, you you you ate that. Okay, So let's get right into it. I'm gonna go solo episode today. Monica Garcia had an emergency, so hoping everything's okay to Monica. She was supposed to be here. She'll be back next week though, Okay, So I am doing a solo episode of bro Island. I haven't done a solo episode a long time, so it's funny because it reminds me of the good old Cloths days when things used to be so ratchet for me, I was a ratchet math. Look, I was a ratchet mess. Uh. They of the Cloppus the Cloppus days with my solo episode. Oh baby, it was a time. So check this out. We get to do this again. I'm actually really thrilled to be recapping the best episode of Rhode Island. This show is so good. And not only is this show so good, the girls are activated in a way, like I said in my past recapched Monica, that I haven't seen on a first season Housewives show in a very long time. These girls are so good, so good. All right, let's get right into it. So in this episode, Kelsey is moving into her new apartment, and this is where she admits that, look, I got this no apartment. I am still relying on my ex who's paying for the rent, the car, insurance, her health insurance, baby, everything, Cardinals, the whole nine. And she feels like I was with this man for ten years. This is the least that he can do because at the end of the day, when it comes to their relationship, she felt like, if we were married, this is something he should be doing anyway so that I'm able to have some sort of lifestyle okay after our breakup, and I'm actually okay with that. I'm okay with that. I did interview Kelsey last week, so if you did not check that out, please check it out. Kelsey was very upfront about this as well. Now, one thing that has happened is Rosie did an interview and Rosie revealed that when it comes to whether or not Kelsey was truly in the house during filming, she says that she was told that Kelsey has not been in the house for two years, two years prior to the show filming, and I did ask Kelsey that and Kelsey has denied it. Okay, I'm going to keep it a buck. I actually believe Rosie, my producer Spidey Senses and tenas when up up when I know iticed that, Okay, there is something suspicious about the fact that she's in the house. The house looks lived in, obviously a little bit, not a lot of it, and that in order for.

00:05:21
Speaker 3: The production to show the house that the homeowner has to sign what we call in the business a locations release.

00:05:33
Speaker 1: So anytime you see a location it could be a house or restaurant, whatever, the homeowner, not the person who's renting it, not the girlfriend, the side check, nobody, the actual homeowner has to legally sign off in order to allow cameras in the house. I'd never believe that the ex signed off on filming unless he and Kelsey had some sort of arrangement. That was number one. Number one. If you watch the dinner that Liz had where they all had to wear a mask, there was a moment in the episode to where Kelsey was asked about her boyfriend and then breaking up. And I could tell that that then I the question that we're asking wasn't happening in real time. It felt like there was a different audio being used. And I know I'm getting into the logistics we call it ADR, but I didn't buy it either. And I said to myself, hmm, it sounds to me like the cast may have known this. And when I had Kelsey on my podcast, she said that her be with Rosie is the fact that Rosie was trying to dig up dirt on the.

00:07:05
Speaker 2: Cast before filming.

00:07:10
Speaker 1: And now after seeing the scene, and now after seeing what Rosie said, I think Kelsey knew that Rosie had information that she was not living in the house prior to filming, and that her introduction into the show was more interesting if she let us believe that they were still in a relationship. The math isn't mapping to where all of a sudden, you've been with this man for ten years and the moment you started filming a reality show, you move out within a couple of weeks. Even with Kim Zosiac was dated Bg Kappa up Rest in Heaven. Okay, Kim did not reveal Big Papa's identity the entire first two seasons. Two seasons and they were together for maybe a year or two prior to that to the cameras, but the girls knew that Big Papa was a thing. I met Big Papa. Big Papa came on set once, but he went I signed the belise, hence was not ever showing him. But my point is if Kim Zosiak would have been like, I got this guy. His name is Big Papa, he bought me this, he gives me that, and then two episodes later she's like me and Big Papa broke up after we've been dating for a year or two, it would have been suspicious, like while you're breaking up, all of a sudden, cameras are filming. Kelsey's been with this man for ten years, so to break up with her during filming made no sense to me and my spidy senses. Although I'm doing this, look, it's that my spighting senses ever believe the accuracy of the timeline. So I am on Rosie's side, Love you, Kelsey, but we gotta be honest here. Rosie's telling the truth. So as we see Kelsey moving into her new apartment, first of all, who gets an apartment? That fact you were in this house for ten years and then all of a sudden you easily get an apartment that he said he'll pay for. Y'all come what I'm saying right, it's not the math a math. It just isn't. It just isn't. So I'm not buying all of this. But we'll get into Rosie versus Kelsey in a second. I do want to get into Joe Ellen. Joe Ellen, who is one of my faves. She probably, in my opinion, is having one of the strongest personal stories on this show because the thing with the Joe Ellen, she's very honest about the issues she is having with her mother, not had past tense, but like it's still having with her mom. So in this scene, her mother, Nancy is Joe Ellen the sister Nancy her mom, and they're, you know, at my grandfather's house doing stuff, and you know, Joe Ellen makes a joke that she was an angel, and her mom immediately retorts, you were not.

00:10:40
Speaker 2: Shade.

00:10:41
Speaker 1: Then Joe Ellen tells her mom that she about her mother was not nice to her growing up, and once again her mother retorts, immediately you were like, but you were nice, And Joe Ellen's like, but I'm a shy in this situation. It's not my job to be mature knights wish Joe Ellen is right. And in this scene is revealed that the mom, the mom called your Ellen a liar and Ellen's like, me lying about boys, and the mother goes like yeah, and she's like, but I was a teenage girl. All teenage girl lies about boys, Like what is that? And then she says, but mom, you would call me bipolar when I was really depressed. And that's when we realize that things are getting deeper. In this situation, and it makes me so sad to know that Joe Ellen have a type of childhood. And in that moment, her mother starts crying and gets emotional about the fact that she remembers a moment when she the mom, was a young girl and did something to where I think she said she hit her head and then blood was everywhere, and when her own mother found her, instead of worrying about her child being bloodied, that her own mother was more worried about the carpet.

00:12:24
Speaker 2: That she just got cleaned.

00:12:26
Speaker 1: So in that moment, what we're seeing is a cycle of what happened, and that's what made things super sad that Joella's mom, Nancy, was being the mother that she saw growing up and how she thought that's just how mothers are, and because that trauma was never healed, she then parlayed that into her own mothering when it comes to her dog. And in that moment, I thought it was such a good job of healing. Like you're seeing like these two generations right coming to a resolution about how they both felt being kids in their separate eras in life, and how that alone really propelled who they are as adult women Like Joe Ellen to me, and again, Joe Ellen has been very honest. You know, she talked about we call we use the word fast.

00:13:36
Speaker 2: In the black community.

00:13:38
Speaker 1: When a girl is a little bit hot in the pants for boys, we call her fast. So Joe Ellen admitted to being fast. And Joe Ellen admitted as an adult woman that she had three songs, which is fine, you know, and she's ver honest about, you know, being a sexual person. And once I saw this thing, it made me think about was Ellen that young girl or woman rather who was trying to find love through boys? And then as an adult woman man, you know, like it's that did that shape how she is treated when it comes to our relationships because she finds love not with her mom, so she was finding it with the men.

00:14:33
Speaker 2: And that's why her relationship with the men prior to her marriage has been very fun. You know.

00:14:44
Speaker 1: She slept with Kelsey's boyfriend on the boat, allegedly with another woman being there. And like I said, Joe Allen's was like, I have my sluty ways and I might have a slut shame at all because.

00:15:02
Speaker 2: Everybody, not everybody, most people had a slupt moment.

00:15:07
Speaker 1: You know, you were a slut. I was just.

00:15:11
Speaker 2: Everybody had a slupt moment.

00:15:13
Speaker 1: So Joelle like, is a past for me? Not pass around? But she not a pass of our baby, but she gets she gives them sort of pass for those for those reasons, for those reasons. This is reality with the King, and I'm Carlos King. Let's get back into the show. So again I look at her childhood and her relationship with her mother as an entry point in terms of how she deals with men.

00:15:49
Speaker 2: But I thought I was very healing.

00:15:51
Speaker 1: Alicia is having a double day with the rue La La and Brian because after talking to her husband deal about what happened in last week's episode where the girls were shown a video of Ruler's houseband Brian in a compromising position with the mistress and what that sort of meant in terms of validating Joe Ellen's nosiness as a PI of our I and seeing that Brian is still cheating, still cheating on Rula. So Alicia's walking in and you know she had a conversation with Brian at the top of the episode, like I need to tell her, I need to tell her, I need to tell her. Rula called out sick last week. Child although my girl had on a full face of makeup, eyelashes, hair extensions from Jessica Simpson's collection, and in her interview chair, she's giving all the reasons why she had lime disease, Why you know she was sick, Why she may have COVID, the hantavirus. Child, she may have abola, you know, she may.

00:17:17
Speaker 2: Baby Rula had everything honey and wanted to.

00:17:21
Speaker 1: Borrow kim Zosiac scooter. That's how I saw it. She was her immune system. Baby is not intact.

00:17:31
Speaker 2: She is low and iron like Claudia Jordan.

00:17:34
Speaker 1: She may be a knee nick. I don't know. But Rula couldn't make it last week to the girls trip because she was sick. But my girl was in bed eating Campbell's chicken noodle soup with a face full of beat makeup. Okay, giving low roach tease. And I was here for it. Okay, Rula, I got your back, all right, So Rula roach, rule of roach, Adie rule of roach was okay, take it. So Ruler Brian had Aleasha and Bill over and you know this was the most comfortable I've seen Brian.

00:18:20
Speaker 2: Brian look not Brian, Yeah, Brian, Brian looked comfortable.

00:18:25
Speaker 1: You know, he was more fun. He talked about being on a zipic having boattox, and he seems more free, and I'm like, A, right, this is the real Brian. Okay. In this moment, brian phone rings and he gets up from the table, excuses himself, tells Ruler Roach. He has to tells Rula Roach, he has to take the call. He leads the table. He comes back saying, my apologies, it's a work call. Brian's a podiatriss unless somebody foot.

00:19:16
Speaker 2: Is damaged.

00:19:20
Speaker 1: Where they need surgery. I don't know a lot of podiatris who gets a work call in the middle of dinner to where instead of taking the call at the table, he excuses himself and goes in the other room. So of course we're all like, is that the mistress whose name is allegedly Beth allegedly allegedly allegedly Okay, the woman that he is assuming because she did not honor a Nda, all right, that's Beth who's allegedly the mistress in this moment, Lisha's like, I don't feel comfortable telling her, so I'm gonna tell you what I think happened. And this is again the beauty of reality with the King because I'll give you, guys, what I feel like as a producer is really happening.

00:20:13
Speaker 2: I think that scene was takeed prior.

00:20:19
Speaker 1: To what was going on, and Alisha had no intentions of telling Rula based on my knowledge, and I cannot confirm this because I like to watch it along with you guys, and I don't.

00:20:35
Speaker 2: I'm not Joe Ellen.

00:20:36
Speaker 1: I'm not the prime investigator calling all my contact to get tee.

00:20:39
Speaker 2: Okay, I'll lead that to Jojo, so Jojo does that. I don't.

00:20:45
Speaker 1: But I do believe that Rula became a real housewife at the last minute because of how interesting her storylineer Brian was, because they did not see that coming. I think she was always a friend to the show, but they realize her story so fascinating and interesting. That's why she deserves to be a housewife. And I love that she is Rula, as y'all knows, my favorite cast member.

00:21:11
Speaker 2: I love Rula La and.

00:21:13
Speaker 1: I thought it was a very smart thing for her to do, and I love it, love it, love it. But again, I also know that baby Brian was getting the call from Beth, because I do believe that Beth knows every time Brian is filming because she's always lurking around somewhere. So that's that. Now let's get into holy Field versus Tyson, which is Rosie and Kelsey. Kelsey pulls up, sirens are blazing, She's yelling about eight thousand square foot. Rosie is embarrassed because she lives in a gated community hoa. They have a siren's clause in their hi Wait agreement, and Kelsey was like, I'm joking. I'm joking out joking, and Rosie's not here for it at all, and she's like, I'm a house police. I'm a house police, and I'm questioning your squirrel footage. Is it eight thousand square foot? And then Rosie's like, bitch, here's the blueprint. Take the measuring tape and measure for yourself because you're so thirsty to find out this information. And that's when I was like, look, Kei, Kelsey, I love you down as well, but Rosie's eating you up already before all the accusations started flying out of Rosie's mouth, So in that moment, Rosie is not feeling this joke, and quite honestly, I don't blame her. Because Kelsey has to reach the room now granted, she hath fifteen rooms in an empty house. She could read, and maybe she's not used to doing that, okay, especially after being removed from it for two years. Allegedly, she's not reading the room. Hell, she's not reading Rainbow. She's not even reading Rosie. So Rosie is like, why are you coming here doing that? And she questions where Kelsey's house is and says that at least my name's Onnadeedo. Bitch, that was a read. Then Rosie doesn't end there, bitch. She then talks about how you have a boyfriend with the other woman, and that's polygamy. So when I made that joke weeks ago, I'm actually right about it. And that's why he, you know, isn't with you anymore. He kicked you out. They're going back and forth. Rosie tells her to get the fuck out of her house. She tells her that you know she's a no one and talk to me when you have a house, a husband, and a career, Because sucking dick is not a career, bitch. My flabbers were gassed, my gas divers, flabber, Sucking dick is not a career. Well, damn, Rosie, what do you tell the girls who are alone. I mean, I love the Oliphan Girlies, but sucking dick is not a career. She's pretty much calling Kelsey the head.

00:24:48
Speaker 2: Doctor, not Hea doctor, but dick doctor.

00:24:54
Speaker 1: Hey Niny season six, okay, all right, joy, I'd like that was the Atlanta Girlies if you know, you know pretty much Rosie called Kelsey a hair doctor, okay, because she gives head as a career. And that's when I lost it. And that's when Kelsey lost it. Rosie grabs her suitcase, throws it outside and says that you don't have a career. That's why, No, you don't have a career, because her sugar daddy paid for you to win a pageant. Rosie is reading the fuck out of Kelsey. Kelsey, you cannot read. You need help, And I loved Kelsey. Rosie read you fulfilled. The way Rosie read you was very Atlanta housewife. It was very Brandy Glanville. It was everything I don't know. Rosie had it in hurt to throw her suitcase out the fucking house. Kelsey looks for it. The producer lets Kelsey back in the house because I think the producer felt bad, like bitch you just got read. At least come back here redid yourself get in a word something? Rosie is reading you for filth and Rosie is just screaming at the top of her lungs. And Kelsey walks back in. And the one thing you had to say was you won the pageant fair and square. We'l see what that's your comeback. This woman says you suck dick as a career and that your should have daddy paid for your pageant for you to win. It says that your name in a medi which is true, and you had no rebuttal but to say you want a fucking pageant fair and square. We don't care about that. Who cares? Joy Behart? Who cares someone who can? No one cares. And in that moment, I'm like, Kelsey, you're a pretty girl who can't read. You remind me of somebody on another show that rained up. Let me know the comments about our other girl who's pretty but can't read. You're heard, you can't read. You're messy a reader. You are not Rosie Reggiet now boots on the ground. That scene was classic Housewives. It was excellent, It was superb. I loved every minute of it. So rain jobs, let me know who you think wan. I mean, I think it's obvious, but I'll ask anyway between Kelsey and Rosie and let me know what you think about let me know if y'all think that Kelsey was out of that house two years ago and that Rosie's onto something, and if that's the reason why Kelsey said on my podcast last week that Rosie was digging dirt of the girls. And even if she was, Rosie didn't start this with you, Kelsey, love you now, but you started Rosie. So Rosie at least was smart enough to know if any of these bitches come for me, I have something in my back pocket to expose you. And that's what Rosie did, and I'm sorry. That's what makes a good housewife. Can we have a real conversation? I don't believe in listen, if Joe Ellen can investigate Rula's husband and his chick, all is fair in Real Housewives Land? When you have information on all these girls in the event, hey, Tisha, in the event that one of them comes for you, so that when you do, you're not struggling in a scene to come back at them. You're able to say, oh, let's go and baby, that's what Rosie did. And as a journalist, Hey Porsche, hey Rosie, you can't play with the journalist. Rosie journalistically that that's the word, gathered her information and Kelsey, she gathered you so rain drops. Let me know the comments, your thought from this episode and I'll see you on the next one.
