   Legal team, on the docket this week is a case we’ve covered multiple times and even had one of the victims, ‘Bachelor’ star Clayton Echard, on our show to tell his story. We are diving into the sentencing hearing of Laura Owens that took place just last week.

Now that her sentencing hearing is complete, we’re going over the arguments made by both sides, Laura’s parents’ involvement, and how Laura abused the legal system and used it as a weapon to manipulate her victims. We're diving in to every person who testified at the hearing giving our unfiltered thoughts. There is a lot to cover here, so part 2 will be coming next week. Lees meer

   Legal team, we are ending our coverage on the ladies from the Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip here. On the docket this week is Real Housewives of New York icon Luann de Lesseps featuring a recap of an earlier episode we did about her arrest (linked below), as well as the lawsuits she faced from her ex-husband, Alexandre, and her two children, Victoria and Noel, which she found out about through the press and then proceeded to blame her relapse on. We go through the details of her plea agreement, probation, and the preliminary injunction that helped resolve the family lawsuit. And we also discuss how her arresting officer ended up getting charged himself for crimes that were a complete failure of our justice system. Listen until the end to hear us answer some more of your questions from our last Q&A — what made us become lawyers? Are we going to Bravo Fan Fest? And, how do we manage work/life balance? Lees meer

4. Can’t Keep It Up in Court: RHUGT: Porsha Williams v. Simon Defamation Lawsuit

   Afspelen
   Legal team, we are continuing our series on the Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip ladies and also closing out our discourse on Porsha Williams, RHOA star, and her legal cases. If you haven’t listened to last week’s episode, we go through her divorces from both Kordell Stewart and Simon Guobadia. On the docket this week is Porsha’s defamation lawsuit that Simon filed against her, which overlaps with the divorce timeline. In July 2024, Porsha posted four slides on her Instagram stories, to her 7.7 million followers at the time, sharing information on erectile dysfunction with the hashtag #menshealthawareness only months after her and Simon filed for divorce. Even though Simon was not named in the posts, blogs took it and ran with it, as well as the public, and later that year, Simon filed a federal complaint against Porsha asserting defamation per say, infliction of emotional distress, and invasion of privacy. We’re diving into Simon’s complaint, Porsha’s counter-arguments, and where this lawsuit currently stands. Lees meer

   Legal team, Cesie is here to continue our Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip series on behalf of the show’s ‘Roaring 20th’ special. On the docket this week, Cesie is giving updates on both Vicki Gunvalson and Lisa Barlow’s legal issues. We’ve covered all of these before (prior episodes linked below), but more has unfolded in both housewives’ cases.

Plus Vicki is now trying to bring her OWN claims against her client! Then Cesie dives into Lisa’s legal trouble with her brand Vida Tequila. In Lisa’s Watch What Happens Live appearance and at the Dismissed Lunch, she stated that all of the legal cases against her had been dismissed, but in doing some late-night digging, Cesie figured out that there might be more to the story.

   TRIGGER WARNING: Domestic violence. Resources linked below. Lees meer

   Legal team, Angela is solo today and taking a detour from the Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip lawsuit and legal issues coverage to talk about Below Deck. There has been a lot going on this season of Below Deck Mediterranean regarding the former bosun Nathan Gallagher and what is unraveling in real time for his legal partner Gael Cameron. While being in an active storyline on television with new episodes coming out weekly, Nathan Gallagher is dodging international arrest warrants for his domestic violence offenses. Angela discusses maritime issues, mechanics of a plea in absentia, and some very famous cases of people trying to use yachts to escape paying taxes, felony charges, and international crimes, including Scientologist founder L. Ron Hubbard and former White House Chief Strategist, Steve Bannon. Despite Nathan Gallagher’s criminal offenses taking place before filming Season 11 of Below Deck, Angela shares why she doesn’t think it’s production’s fault for missing this information in his background check. But since this information has come to light, Bravo has terminated Nathan, and Angela explains why it’s only a matter of time before he is caught.

    Legal team, we are continuing on in our Ultimate Girls Trip Roaring 20th series where we cover the various legal issues that each of the housewives involved in this show have been tied to. On the docket this week, we are moving from Teresa to Kyle…but really, Mauricio. Are they getting divorced or not? We give you guys an update on the case regarding the Sweetwater property, which then turned into this other case where there was a qui tam action that was filed (we’ll explain what that is). For our fans of The Valley, we get into the loan Michelle accussed Jesse of taking out and spending fraudulently. We break down what small business loans are used for, and speculate about what could happen to Jesse if the government found out he used his Economic Injury Disaster Loan to pay for personal, luxury expenses. We also touch on the Kim and Kyle eviction, and why we hate that photo being circulated right now. Leave Kim alone! Lees meer
