    A recap of the pussy pattin' propaganda documentary of Erika Girardi's "comeback" as Erika Jayne via a Vegas residency at the House of Blues in August 2023. We watch low impact dance rehearsals and witness her fond memories of Tom, whom she still seems to enjoy describing at his professional peak. We hear her reminisce about her old life of obscene wealth and spending before lamenting her Vegas show's current budget and trying in vain to secure $100k more. Denied by the showrunner for already being over budget, and failing to get a personal loan, our heroine must overcome the odds...and the show must go on. Lees meer

    Afspelen
    First, we hit a few Bravo hot topics, then we recap The Kyle Show/Beverly Hills Reunion that summarizes all the stale beef, 2022 tiffs, and dodged accountability that Kyle storyboarded for our enjoyment. Interrupting that flow is Sutton's attempt to point out Kyle's ongoing damaging accusations against her, Dorit's stance that so much changed in Kyle's life that questioning it was warranted, and the episode ends with Kathy emerging bc of course there are guests on The Kyle Show.

  35. Deep Dive: Marco Marco Lawsuit, "F*ck Chris"

    29 februari 2024 · 1 uur 32 min

    Afspelen
    A rundown of the 2016 Secret Service led prosecution of Chris Psaila, half of the celebrated L.A. design house, Marco Marco, after Erika Girardi's allegations of $787, 117.88 worth of fraudulent charges on an AMEX card Tom paid but had begun to object to, with Volkswagen asking, "Now why am I in it?" Lees meer

    A review of Chris' 2023 lawsuit allegations that Erika's longtime choreographer Mikey Minden, assistant Laia, and an AMEX representative/investigator also played a role in maliciously prosecuting him, plus a description of his receipts filled with texts, sketches, and images supporting legitimate charges for goods and services that challenge his now dismissed indictment that could have resulted in over 150 years in prison. Just this month, Erika lost an attempt to dismiss his lawsuit and a Secret Service buddy of Tom's filed to remove himself from this narrative. After listening to this pod, you'll understand why.

    Content discussed and reviewed is pulled directly from lawsuit filings, L.A. Times articles, statements made on the Housewife and Hustler HULU documentaries, and a generic legal definition of anti-SLAPP laws.
