She claims he showed her evidence … and had her talking to his lawyer, mother and friends to convince her they were through. “This is MY TRUTH,” Khloe says, insisting she truly believed Tristan was single when they started dating … and if he wasn’t, she is “so completely and utterly sorry,” but pins the blame on those who lied to her. “I pray my truth is in fact that,” she wrote. “Lord knows I pray but now, I really don’t know what to believe.”
Wednesday’s episode of The Real Housewives of New York finally showed us that blowout fight from the midseason trailer, and it did not disappoint. If you watch The Real Housewives of New York online of late, you know that Luann has bordered on insufferable. Every single time any of the ladies have tried to help her, she’s complained that she’s too busy to give a you-know-what because she’s a cabaret girl. When the explosive episode kicked off Bethenny and Ramona were trying to get through to Ramona that her drinking is a cause for concern. This conversation occured shortly after Sonja threatened to knock Bethenny out before smacking her head off a table. It was pretty wild. Sonja, however, welcomed the feedback from the ladies, and ultimately decided to take Luann up on the offer to attend an AA meeting with her. Before we got to the AA meeting, new addition to the cast, Barbara Kavovit admitted that she felt left out. Bethenny wanted to find out why Barbara felt that way, so she pulled her aside. “If you guys would rather me go home, I’ll go home,” Barbara said while simultaneously fighting back the tears. Bethenny told her that she felt she was too up Lu’s ass to forge friendships with the other ladies. Well, she didn’t quite say it that way, but you get the gist. Ultimately, Barbara agreed that she could be a better friend away from Luann and that was that. Sonja struggled at the AA meeting, but she put on a brave face. It all came to the forefront when Sonja broke down at the beach when she met up with the ladies. Sonja later admitted that it was too much for her to take on board, and the ladies tried to help her. Everyone except Luann, that is. Luann said that she was staying at the beach, leaving the other ladies to help Sonja. “Anybody want to go for a swim on the beach?” she said while Sonja bawled her eyes. “I’m gonna go for a swim. I’ll see you back at the house.” Bethenny was shook, and not in a good way. It was like she was ready to unleash holy hell on the countess, but she bit her tongue. At the house, Sonja admitted that Luann essentially abandoned her, despite being the one to bring her to the AA meeting. While this was going down, Luann posed for photos, one of them was at a poster promoting her cabaret show. Did this prove how self-absorbed Luann was at this moment in time? Probably, but we need to remember here that Luann has her own $hit going on. The next night is when the good stuff happened. Barbara told Luann during dinner that she felt like she had been iced out for no reason, and she was not going to stand for it. Luann gave her a hug, but Bethenny saw this as Lu’s way of brushing this under the rug. “I felt so protective of you, Lu, because I’m protective of the people that I love,” Barbara said of the situation, prompting Luann to say it was “not my fault.” “It kind of is, though,” Tinsley said even though nobody asked her remind them she was still on the show. “Because you let Barbara do that for you, have the shield, protect you in that way — and you never [stick up] for her.” “I never what?” Luann asked before making fun of Tinsley Tinsley for slurring the words “stick up.” Queen Bethenny had heard enough. She flipped the eff out. “You’re insufferable! You’re insufferable!” she scremed as she slammed her hands on the table. “Oh, wow. What a day this has been,” Lu fired back. “This is it! Are you gonna sing it? Sing it!” Bethenny hurled. . “Jesus, I go for a swim, and this is what happens? Gotta be careful when you leave the room in this group, huh?” Lu said, trying to keep her composure. “When’s the last time you asked me how I am about Dennis?” Bethenny asked. “When’s the last time?” “When’s the last time you asked me how I am?” Luann said in response. “All the time!” Bethenny screamed. “You are intolerable. You never change. ‘Cause you never change ’cause you dined out on your sobriety.” “You’re dining out on it. Yes, you are. Dining out. Yes, you are.” Luann then said she was annoyed that Bethenny would say she’s using her sobriety as a crutch. “B Strong? You should be so proud of yourself. You’re bully strong,” she said. “Let me explain something to you clearly,” Bethenny yelled, slamming her hands on the table one more time. “Dennis helped you with your case 100 percent. When’s the last time you asked me how I feel about it? You actually are [the only one who hasn’t checked in on me]. Unnerving. It’s unnerving!” Luann claimed the evening was “not enjoyable,” as Bethenny shot back that “the truth hurts.” “I’m so mad!” Bethenny said as she looked like she was going to flip the table. “I did your intervention, and my f–king boyfriend, ex-boyfriend, ex-fiancé died of an overdose, and you haven’t checked in on me!” “Do you understand?! I did your intervention while my guy died of a drug overdose. And you haven’t asked how I am! He died! He’s in the ground!” Bethenny was up at Lu’s face, saying that her friend never checked in on her. “No, you haven’t! No, you haven’t! Not one time!” Bethenny shouted before mimicking her new nemesis. “‘I’m going through a lot. Come to my thing.’ Cabaret! F–king Cuban cabaret upstate. And cabaret, cabaret, cabaret all day. LIFE IS NOT A CABARET. It is actually not a cabaret!” “Wow, look at you,” Luann managed to say. “Look in the f–king mirror! Look at me?!” Bethenny screamed across the table. “You never checked in on Dennis. Not once! You’ve never asked about Dennis. You never asked. YOU NEVER ASKED!” she continued. “No, you don’t. No, you don’t! Every day it’s about you. Every f–king day it’s about you. Every f–king second it’s about you. ‘Ohhh, because I didn’t get a massage.’ BECAUSE YOU’RE AN ASSHOLE THAT DIDN’T EVEN HAVE LUNCH WITH US TODAY, BUT YOU GO TO LOOK AT YOUR OWN POSTER!” “I went for a swim at the beach, for God’s sake,” Luann replied, implying everything with her was all good. “Do you understand it was a whole weekend?!” Bethenny continued in her tirade. “I took weeks of my life for you! … I had lawyers come to your house on a Sunday. I spoke to your kids. I sat outside on your driveway to make sure that you didn’t drive your car!” “You almost crashed the (inaudible) and killed your friends! You were running in a field in negligee and had to be taken in cop cars, and I made sure that they didn’t record it so you ultimately didn’t get arrested!” “You left the f–king rehab that I got you for free two weeks early FOR CABARET! YOU’RE A SICKO. FOR CABARET? YOU LEFT REHAB? I got it for free! You’re sick!!!” Oh yes, this drama will continue next week.

Kim Richards is ready to win back her housewife title. It’s been four years since she was fired from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills following her boozy breakdown and arrest for kicking a cop. But now, Radar Online has learned that she is “in talks” to return to the show as a full-time cast member. “Kim has been begging producers to take her back ever since she was fired,” a source close to the 54-year-old said. Richards, who is one of the OG stars of the franchise, stopped filming the show years back to deal with her substance abuse issues. As fans know, following Kim’s removal in June 2015, the sister of current cast member Kyle Richards has successfully maintained her sobriety and is ready for her big return! Especially now that Lisa Vanderpump’s spot is open. Kim has made a few appearances on the RHOBH in a guest role for the past several seasons and even made up with co-star Lisa Rinna . “Kim has been hanging on as a friend of the housewives,” shared the source. “But right now, she has no other job and has no other source of income.” The insider added that the “producers for the show know that Kim can bring in the ratings because she has done it before. But only when she is a mess.” “Now that she seems to have it together, people are skeptical if their fans will care about her boring life.” However, Kim is not giving up that easily and is ready to do just about anything to get her spot back on the show. “Kim told them that she knows how to make people tune in and that she will deliver the drama,” the insider said. “If it takes another meltdown she is ready to do that. “At this point, she will do just about anything to be back on the cast full-time.” And after longtime castmember and Bravo sweetheart Lisa Vanderpump recently quit the series , we know there is a serious chance for a new addition. “I think [my castmembers] made it pretty impossible for me to go back frankly,” Lisa told Daily Mail on June 4 when asked about her return on next season. “So… no.” On June 6 the famous restaurateur opened up more about her decision to leave RHOBH during an interview with Us Weekly. “I made the decision to leave,” she said. “It was a very difficult year for me, personally and professionally. “I had wonderful things happen this year, opening up TomTom and the cocktail garden in Vegas,” she explained. “The Housewives, it’s just, it’s emotionally too difficult to deal with.” However, just yesterday, Real Housewives executive producer, Andy Cohen, shut down the rumors that he was actively considering Kim, as well as her and Kyle’s sister, Kathy Hilton, to join the cast. But we’re sure Cohen will be having some pressing conversations with the Housewife hopefuls very soon. And as for icon LVP, no one can ever replace her — but the show must go on!

Even when I travel I take my kit along and the slim ER w/ energy booster helps keep me on track.” However, Kenya has been a fitness fanatic for some time, and most importantly, eats healthy, which we believe is the true reason she was able to bounce back so strong after delivering Brooklyn in November. “I’m 47 years old. I was worried too,” she said about the pressure to slim down post-baby. “The young girls get to snap back but what about me? [laughs] And so, you take care of your body and you eat well.” “I eat a lot of fruit. I drink a lot of water — a lot of water,” she added. “Vegetables. I’m really a pescatarian so I eat a lot of fish, sushi, things like that.” It also didn’t hurt that a lot of the weight she put on, 75 pounds worth, was water. “A lot of it, to be honest, because of the preeclampsia, was water weight gain,” she said. “So a week after I had given birth, I lost 40 pounds. But I had a C-section so I couldn’t really stand up, I obviously couldn’t work out or do anything like that. But I was a workout person before. I took care of my body. I, what we call just ‘snapped back’ after two weeks. I thought, ‘Wow! My tummy is flat again,’ or nearly flat. I didn’t think that would happen.” Looking good, Kenya! We’re glad to see her have her happily ever after — and manage to look this good while having it.

Source: Paras Griffin / Getty Rapper Pled Guilty To Menacing Emily B & Her Father Earlier This Year Fabolous has been quietly working to satisfy the terms of his plea deal in connection with allegedly pummeling and threatening reality starlet partner Emily B. The “Throw It In The Bag” rapper has been working to satisfy the terms of his year-long pre-trial intervention program after he pleaded guilty to one count of harassment and copped to threatening Emily and her father with a pair of scissors outside of their northern New Jersey home. Things are going so well, that the judge on the case has not asked Fab, 41, to come back to court to review his progress, and he doesn’t have a court date pending, a court official confirmed to BOSSIP. If he successfully completes the diversion program, his charges will be thrown out and his criminal record wiped clean. Fab initially faced up to 20 years in state prison after prosecutors accused him of punching Emily B so hard that her front teeth had to be removed. Days later, a video emerged of the father of two brandishing a sharp object at his partner and her father and threatening to kill them. We’ve reached out to Fab’s lawyer, Brian Neary, for comment.
Camille Grammer’s worst fears came true on Tuesday’s episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. The California wildfires claimed her house, mere moments after she thought she was in the safe zone. However, mother nature had other plans, and the wind shifted direction, obliterating her home in the process. The other housewives were sunning it up in Provence, France during the installment, and they were upset to learn about Camille’s home. Then there was Denise Richards, who was praying her home was safe. Thankfully, it was, but that’s not to say her Malibu neighborhood was completely unscathed. Back in France, Kyle opened up to the group about previously suffering from anorexia. It was something Kyle had kept well away from her daughters, and she struggled to hold back the tears as she revealed all. Kyle subsequently revealed that she once weighed under 100lbs, and would eat a handful of almonds a day. On a more harrowing note, she said that people complimenting her appearance made her eat less and less because she felt she had to keep the skinny figure. Yikes, right? “I feel really weird even saying this now because I’ve never, ever talked about this, not even to my daughters, which is why I’m staying quiet because I feel weird,” Kyle began. “When I was younger, I had my own problems, but I never wanted to say it because I had my daughters, and I never even wanted that in their head.” “It started when I was 17,” she continued. “I was on a TV show, and I didn’t like — they kept putting me in these big things, and my boobs were big when I was young.” “And it was like, my sisters were tiny and cute. Everybody was blonde, blue-eyed and skinny. I said, ‘I don’t like my wardrobe.’ And they said, ‘Well, lose some weight, and we’ll put you in cute wardrobe.'” Kyle later revealed that the inspiration to open up about her eating disorder was that Lisa Rinna’s daughter, Amelia, was going through the same thing. “I can’t just pretend that I don’t know what that feels like,” she said. “So, guess what? I had an eating disorder when I was younger.” “People would compliment me, and the more they complimented me, the less I would eat,” Kyle admitted. “I would take V8 juice and put it in a bowl and heat it up, and that was my food. I was 99 lbs. I was like that for years.” “I mean, I remember times when I’d say, ‘I’m only gonna have six almonds today. That’s all. That’s what I’m gonna have.'” What did you think of all the drama? Hit the comments below. RHOBH continues Tuesdays on Bravo.

Source: SOPA Images / Getty We’re in an age where people are using their voices and dollars to demand visibility and recognition. When plus-size is “represented” in media or runways, it’s often a 12 or 14. While there is more visibility, it’s still limited. Plus size people of prominence get beauty shots, not body shots on magazine covers. Plus size models going down the runway are sans stomachs and flab. So when Nike quietly released a size 16/18 model in London’s Oxford Street store, most people were pleased. Source: Jeff Greenberg / Getty The plus size mannequin is not a new concept. You will see them in plus size stores like Lane Bryant and department stores that carry size inclusive brands, like Macy’s and Rachel Roy. The plus-size mannequin features thick thighs, a flat stomach simultaneously holding some fat, and soft arms. As a size 14 woman, with a body that is shaped similarly, I felt seen and celebrated. While weight and health is correlated (yes, it’s true that it is harder to recover from injury when you are obese), size and exercise are not. People of all size exercise and people of all sizes deserve high performance exercise gear. This mannequin is part of the revamped women’s space which is dedicated to “celebrating diversity and inclusivity of sport.” Plus size women are often intimidated at the gym, a phrase called gymtimidation. While the gym is a place to get in shape, women of a larger size are often stared at and made to feel uncomfortable. Hence reasons for places like Curves (a gym for women) or classes that are geared directly toward plus size women. How you look or what you wear can have an immediate effect on your self-esteem. Plus size women deserve, need, and want clothes that they can wear to help take care of their bodies and isn’t the same outfit that consists of a gifted t-shirt from an event or an outfit they wear to clean the house. The irony and energy that society always tells plus size women to “work out” is the same energy that people are using toward Nike, appalled that they would even consider “normalizing obesity.” Tanya Gold, a writer for the Telegraph, wrote a fatphobic op-ed entitled, Obese Mannequins Are Selling Women A Dangerous Lie . “She is, in every measure, obese, and she is not readying herself for a run in her shiny Nike gear. She cannot run. She is, more likely, pre-diabetic and on her way to a hip replacement. What terrible cynicism is this on the part of Nike?” This automatic stereotyping of larger bodies, without being a doctor or even knowing someone’s medical history is isolating and irresponsible. People that are upset seeing a plus size mannequin doing the exact same thing that you are upset that plus size people apparently aren’t doing is such backwards and problematic thinking. Throughout her article, her words are laced with fatphobic commentary like, “She heaves with fat,” illustrates a larger problem. We’re so careful about Black Lives Matter , focused on inclusion within the LGBTQTI community, however, when it comes to larger bodies, fatness is the misfit of marginalized communities. The plus-size population remains ridiculed, disrespected, and isolated. No wonder the community is so strong, at times, it’s literally all we have. The body shaming of an inanimate object illustrates a larger problem in society surrounding the idiosyncrasies surrounding plus size women and their bodies.
