gonna throw something at the TV, but I really love my TV so much. I couldn't by the end of this. I cannot believe they all caved, you bunch of fucking cavers. What's wrong with you people? This was a long, long episode. It was supersized. And yeah, they did all cave. I mean, I think though, like on a certain level,

like I think we all feel bad for brand. She is a damaged person who has to lie to get through life. And like, I don't want to be friends with that. I don't even want to watch it, but I can still feel bad for her. Like for the, the traumas in her life that have really formed this as her personality, like you do feel bad, but like. I know. I hope Jessel does not, I hope Jessel moves onwards and upwards

because Brynn really fucked with Jessel's marriage. Like really everything that Jessel says is like really true. And that's really devastating. Well, it's not that I don't feel bad for Brynn's traumas, but I don't feel bad for Brynn in general. She's a fucking mess of a, she's a destructive person, period. I try to separate people, like people that can, people that are just too destructive that don't warrant my time. Like you don't get to you don't get to bluster with your stories anymore at this point. You're just harmful, and you're mean, and you're a liar. You don't tell any fucking truth ever. And all you do is fuck with other people and try and ruin them. So people like that, no, I don't care about. Like her stories are sad, yes, but like I get her away from me. Just go over there. Go over there. Yeah. And her bad crying and the Botox is terrible. She can't

even move her face. And then she doesn't even cry. Like there were so many moments today where she's and the second no one bought it, she immediately drops it. There's no tears her face just goes completely blank. I mean, it's just creepy Get her out of here. I'm done. I'm officially done Listen, you can be broken and damaged and you can be all those things you could be a liar You can be destructive, but if you're not campy and funny then we have no use for you Humor will will will get the audience to forgive a lot, yes. And you have none. And not telling jokes, it's not about telling jokes.

It's like you have to have a certain camp value to you about a certain like delusion that we enjoy. But Brynn doesn't have that. And Brynn thinks she does and she doesn't. Brynn's delusion is terrifying. We get back to the- Also did you read that her line of, I'm that kyven minnots side that was stolen from a movie?

You know that, right? I didn't know that. Someone sent that to us. What movie was it again? I don't know. Mila Kunis and something. Yeah, someone said it was Mila Kunis. Was it Black Swan?

No. No. No. I mean, Mila Kunis has been in like two movies that I've seen, Black Swan and Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and then nothing really since then. And I think, you know. Oh, I loved her in that,

that one she did with Ashton Kutcher where they're basically standing up for the guy from that 70s show after his rape charges. That was a great film. That was a great film. Okay, so let's go to part two, the Real Housewives of New York City reunion starts now. Jessel, did you get boobs put on your face?

I mean, there's just something different about you. Well, I haven't finished my sentence, Andy. The answer is yes. You just have to let me finish my sentence. Also Brynn, I mean Brynn distorts my words and says I was talking about the love of my life who has been my husband for 10 years and the father of my children. And Jenna's like, an apology is more fucking works.

It's like it's no more fucking words because honestly, this bin is really dark and I just cannot believe they would actually do that to her. But I didn't know. I'm sorry. I didn't know any of that. But you did. You did know. And you knew that wasn't her husband.

And you actually, you chose to bring it up. And I just, I'm crying right now. I just can't believe you did it. It's just, I'm just so upset about it. I want to prove to you that I'm not that person. I'm a sexy baby. And I want to earn back your friendship. And I'm like, absolutely like mortified.

I mean, not by anything else I did this this season but with this I'll be mortified about You think I really want to fuck with someone's fucking marriage. Yes, Brian. We all think you do absolutely. Yes Yes, your whole stick is fucking with people's marriages. I'm thinking when I do that I thought I was making a cute joke and So, you know still still just friend deflecting. It was just a joke. So now everyone's talking over each other.

And she's like, oh my God, didn't anyone chastise me? Did everyone say like, oh my God, this is so horrible. I mean, it was me that I said it, and now you apology and I'm sorry. And so she's like, and then she's, was she basically saying like, Sorry, okay. And so she's like, and then she's, was she basically saying like, why didn't anyone like call me to task about lying? It's like, it's not my, like what's worse?

She's saying that nobody made it a big deal then, but now everybody's making it such a big deal. And if you was doing that, then she's sorry, you know? But that's, you lied. No one knew it was a lie. No one knew it was a lie. Thought it was real. Yeah, that's exactly right. And so, and that's how she works. She just keeps spouting things that sound like oh, well, that's true

But then they're not true at all. They're they're all fucking she still lies She just adds lies on top of the other lies and size and inside basically is like, you know When I saw that I sent a text message, you know, cuz I apologize I felt bad after I saw that and bring us a congrats. And Jussell's like, you don't understand the work that I put that I put through, you know, like I don't want him to ever question my integrity. I don't want him to be eating his fried chicken and think for one moment while he's biting into that meat and getting mayonnaise all over his chin and lettuce everywhere on his lap that he's wondering, oh, I wonder

if my wife is cheating on me at this moment. I don't want that. I want him to be lost in his own slovenly disgusting ways. Yeah, he like gives me free rein. I can do whatever I want, you know, and now he's questioning me. And the other day was the first time I said, Are you eating upon me? And he said, No, I'm eating upon you. It's just, it's over, Brian. You've done this. And she's like, oh my God, I guess I just should have said nothing period.

She was, yeah, well there's that. So she says she's sorry again in her fake tears. And then Andy's like, give this tissue to Jessel. And Jenna's like, I did give it to her. Oh wait, I used it, sorry. That was a good monologue though that I gave, right? Did you believe it? God, I'm so embarrassed for the episode.

I think I'm done for the episode. Right now. All right, I wanna talk about the conversation that happened between Uba and Brynn on the last night of the Hamptons, specifically about the advice that you gave Uba about not being portrayed as an angry black woman. And so Brynn is, like we see a flashback, Brynn saying,

like, I want you to marry Oliver, and I want Oliver to marry you, and I don't want you coming up like an angry black woman. And so Brynn is like, we see a flashback. Brynn saying like, I want you to marry Eliver and I want you to, and I want Eliver to marry you and I don't want you coming up like an angry black woman, you know? So what was the context of that? And like no one wants to speak up. Anyone? So Brynn's like, but I just wanted to protect you, you know, and when you were saying they're going to give you the fair treatment because like Erin did, because she's white. And Erin's like, what? I didn't say that because you guys you guys she did say it why is everybody

making me feel crazy she said it because I would never sit here and not tell the truth oh really Erin is another big fucking liar and I can't believe Erin got off this entire reunion scot-free even this one and Erin's compulsively lying too during this one, but no one's furious, so I will be furious for them. Yeah, so Aaron is like, she didn't say they're gonna give Aaron the fair treatment. And Uba's like, you come from Apology, stay there. Okay, Brynn, no. So Brynn is like, no, no, no, sorry.

Uba says Brynn, it's confusing, because I've got a lot of capitalized words. I can't tell who's speaking, but I'm pretty sure that Brynn did not say Swear to Allah. So Uba's like, you start talking. No, no, no, boo, boo, boo, listen to me, boo. You know, you know what you and Oliver have now. Like just no, boo, boo, boo, boo.

And Brynn's like, I didn't say you can't do this. No, you lie left and right. If anyone believe you Brynn, it is, it's whatever. It's not my business. And she's like, Uba, it is, it's whatever. It's not my business. And she's like, Uba, you can't tell me that you think that was my intention, that I'm gonna sit there and say that to you. You did sit there and say that to her.

You said, don't be like this in front of Oliver, or he's gonna look at you as an angry black woman and dump you. We just saw the video. And she's like, oh, you're right, the angry black woman. And she's like, well, I tried to defend you. I'm just protective of you because you're protective of me. And she goes, I don't care because I'm not.

And Andy's like, okay, well, let me ask you this. Why insinuate to Uba that Oliver may not want to be with her if she acts a certain way? She goes, no, I didn't say Oliver wouldn't want to be with you. I said, I want everything for you. No, you didn't. They just really never said it, babe.

But you did mention Oliver, and she was already insecure in a relationship. So seem like you might be weaponizing that. And the weapon had some new boobs, right? And Brin's like, no, I wasn't weaponizing. I was being like, sexifying it. I was like, don't allow my stupid ass to fuck up what you actually want and what matters in life.

Ha! Ah! This lie doesn't even make sense. Like it's clearly not what she said. And it was like, you know, you know why I'm gonna marry Oliver besides the fact that he's rich as fuck. He lets me be who I am.

I sleep until 11. And they're like, oh my God. Wow. He's like, oh my God. Wow. He's like, well, the inner didn't like of the advice you had for Uba. Twit from Turr said, Brynn telling Uba to stop being angry if she wants to marry her boyfriend.

It's been a while since I heard something so micro aggressive. And Sammy Joe says, for Erin to be the one that's there to correct brain is wild, uh, because Aaron is also full of microaggressions and stupid fucking things to say. And Aaron goes, Oh really? Oh Aaron, thanks a lot. Jody Lynn Sue.

So what was your reaction to the backlash? Um, first of all, like don't bring Erin into this. Like poor Erin. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What was your reaction? Um, I think it was like hurtful. Like I'm biracial and identify as a black woman. And it was really hard to reach out and see that because like I know my attention, but

like I said something wrong. And maybe even if I'm allowed to say certain terms, like we can talk about things like maybe it's not always appropriate to bring it back because like we know identify as black but like I haven't had the same experience as you and because well I've had an excellent experience I have never had a bad experience being black it's like yeah I'm just saying like as a black woman in the world no I get everything for free friends like Brent's like, but I'm biracial, so I get that there's a difference. And Andy's like, wait a minute, do black people get things for free?

Oh my God, sometimes Andy just listen, you know? She's like, no, I'm so hot, I don't even care. You know, you understand getting upgraded, guys holding my bag, I don't even experience hardship. And he's like, wait, is it because you're black or because you're hot? And she's like, it's because I'm hot and black. But Aaron's like, yeah, she's just so hot. I mean, I guess. I love being hot and black. So then Aaron is like, I think the issue is that when you said that in your mind, you thought you're being protective, but it was out of context because it kind of felt like out

of left field. Let me help you with this really simple way to apologize. And then he's like, yeah, I think that's what you're trying to apologize for. Yeah, I accept it as a hot person. I will accept your apology. It is unkind for hot people to not accept apology from less hot people, Andy. So to the lady in the weird negligee, I forgive you. There. It's basically like giving to the Salvation's Army. Right, Andy?

So then they cut for break, and Brynn walks off alone. And Erin's like, Oh my God, is anyone like even friends with her? She's alone. I feel so bad. Yeah. And they're like, yeah, I know. Someone should say something like, it's just like, I was like, don't just, I really enjoyed sign this reunion. I would say, you know, cause everyone keeps talking about like, what do we do with Roni?

I think Sai has actually earned a spot in the next one. I think that Sai has not had good stuff to work with and seeing her now this season, she is like, she does give like that honest sort of response and she is quick. And like we didn't see it much last season. Last season, she was grouchy and kind of annoying and very much about being an influencer. And this season she is giving real housewives, but she doesn't, I mean, look what she has to, to work off of, bounce off of. So I feel like give, you know, put Cy and Jessel on a cast and Uba and then build around that with some like crazy people from the uppery side. And I think we've got a show. Oh God, no, I'm going to say the same thing I want. I say when I walk into a tender greens, throw it all away. All of it. Throw it all away. Unsafeable. Bring me some. Uber makes me laugh though. So like, I feel like when people make me laugh, there's credit.

Jussell makes me laugh. And I'm saying like, not because they make jokes, because Uber says things like, Oh yeah, I'm hot. I get everything for free. So I love being hot. Well, Uba had a good segment, but this whole show has distressed me and it needs to go. There, that's where I stand. I'm not changing. It's time for a commercial. It's time for a Crappin's commercial.

It's like insane.

I have no idea what she's talking about. And so basically they're all talking about how nuts Brynn is, but they're all, there were parts in this where I was like, God, this whole cast is really mean. Like they do really kind of stand together and mean girl. Or like when they were with Mean Cough later, I was like, damn, like these girls are harsh. They were so mean.

Yeah, they get like mean girly, but I don't really feel bad for Brynn. I just mostly feel afraid of the ladies. Wiki, they're not fun. I just need more fun. Okay, so Rebecca comes and she is getting out, you know, getting dressed and stuff. And meanwhile, let's see,

Uba and Erin are eating lunch and it was like, I really like that you are not letting anyone slide. And there's like, but it's just so hard for me. Cause like, I feel bad when she cries. Don't you feel bad? I feel so bad. Let me show you how bad I feel while I sit here and eat salad and don't move to go comfort brain. I know, right? Let me just finish my sweet grain. It was like, I mean, you think people are going to go through shit and then you hear other people's story and then you're like,

we don't know what other people are carrying, you know, so then part where it was like, are you kidding? Like, of course, I feel bad. I didn't know that she knows the guy that assaulted her. I mean, God, you know how that would feel. I don't think I'd be able to live here. And Aaron's just like, well, I would want him to go to jail, which is another like shaming of not calling the police on the guy. Aaron's just so fucking gross. I actually did not, I did not take that as shaming of not.

I took it as like, it sucks that, that this is the way the situation is. Well, I took it that way because of what she said in the last reunion, which was just adding onto that. Why aren't you calling? Why aren't you doing something? So then Jenna goes to Brynn's dressing room and tries to talk to her, I guess.

And then Aaron's like, yeah, the thing with Brynn is that she believes everything she's saying. So that's what's scary. So now we go to Brynn's dressing room with Brynn and Jenna and Brynn's like, I feel dead inside, you know, like a sexy, dead, beautiful little baby girl. Yeah, well out there, everyone's having a hard time.

Like this is fucking hard, okay? And Brynn's like, yeah, I there, everyone's having a hard time. Like, this is fucking hard, okay? And everyone's like, yeah, I just wanna hug, but it's so mad at me. And Jenna's like, well... She's so mad at me, like I'm scared. It's like, so much stuff is getting back. I'm scared of everyone.

You're not scared of everyone. You're scared of Con-C-Quan-Ses. Now go take it. So then in Raquel's dressing rooms, I was like, did she say I tormented her? She said I made a life hell and Raquel's like, yeah, for like five weeks. She's like, yeah, what did I do? She's like, you didn't do shit like me this entire season. Yeah, even Andy's like, what did she do? Right? Yeah, like,

what did I do? Okay, you've said it five times. I get it now. I'm starting to feel tormented also. So Brynn still doing her like, everybody hates me and they want to rip my head off and anything I do It's gonna be like she's just trying to she's just trying to manipulate You know, like I'm stuck between a rock and a hard blaze Unfortunately, it's not between a rock and a really hot hard someone else's husband It's not between a rock and a really hard, someone else's husband. Yeah. I mean, people, it sucks.

It sucks for Brynn right now. Of course it does suck because now like if she's trying to make like an honest, you know, overture to, to make amends, to grow, to build back up trust or whatever, it's going to be hard. People are going to think the worst because that's what happens when you lie and manipulate all the time, that when you finally decide you're not gonna be that person anymore, people are not just going to accept it on face value.

Sorry, it is what happens. Well, and also the fact that you waited for this entire season to air and you didn't text anybody and be like, oh my God, I'm so sorry, that was harsh. Or listen, can we make up after that trip? Can we talk it out? Nothing, you wait for the cameras to be there so you can cry and make it look like

everybody's victimizing you. Not buying it, madam. No. So, Cy agrees. She's like, the water works, the light clock works. I've never seen something so performative. That bitch needs an Oscar. So, Jenna's just giving advice to Bryn like,

you know, you just have to say sorry, you know? And then that's over. You just, you don't need to dig in. You're making it harder on yourself. Just say sorry. So then in Erin's dressing room, she's still talking to Jessel and she's like, yeah. And I mean, all Brynn does is make fun of you.

You're supposed to be close. Yeah, you know who else does that? You, with Brynn, you're constantly degrading Jessel and constantly talking down to her and constantly saying shitty things to her. And Jessel's just letting you slide. Yeah, he was so fucking awful. Like there's one thing projected

and another that's happening behind my back. I just don't like that. So back to Brynn's room, Jen is like, no one thinks you have bad intentions. It's just that we all think you're kind of a shitty person who lies and maybe shouldn't be around us anymore, but not bad intentions, good intentions for sure. Good intentions to lie.

Like you were gonna use that lying for charity. We all believe that. But the thing is like, and that's all about intentions. It's like, no, like actually if anything that the big catchphrase of the past four years is impact over intentions, bitch, impact over intentions. Even if it was intentions, your intentions are terrible. Your intentions are to make it look like Jessel was in love with some other guy other than

her husband or like wanted her ex. I mean, your intentions were shitty. So you can't you can't rely on that. So anyway, welcome back to the Real Housewives of New York City reunion Okay, the city never sleeps. Let's welcome Rebecca Minkoff to the chat Rebecca. Have you ever dried your hair before? It looks wet on purpose Andy. Okay. Well, wow, I left my cake out in the rain. Am I right guys? Okay, have a seat. So how are you feeling here being denied? Would want to know how to approve? And she's like, you know, I mean, everyone looks great.

Hi ladies. And everyone hates her. I don't remember everybody hating Rebecca. Yeah. Like, I don't understand. I know that people have problems with the Scientology and this and that, but what the fuck did Rebecca do?

You all liked her two seconds ago. How do all of you in unison hate her now? Well, because I guarantee there's been like chatter that they probably all been texting and Erin is, Erin obviously has a beef with Rebecca. So she probably has been texting with all of them like Rebecca kinda sucks, right? Like she's supposed to help the show

and she's not helping the show. She's not sharing her story. She probably poisoned the well. And like- I think what it is is, no, I'm sorry to interrupt you. I just wanna give my thing before we move on. I think what it is is no, I'm sorry to interrupt you I just want to give my thing before we move on I think what it is with her is that they saw the audience reaction not liking her and now they're just all like fuck her

Because especially Erin because I think Erin is very in tune with that stuff And I think they're just like fuck this girl now. They also probably did not get enough free shit from her So Andy is like, all right, so Brynn, you and Rebecca hash things out in Puerto Rico and you said you might even go shopping together. What has happened? And Brynn's like, not yet, but I saw. Because by the way, one thing we never got into,

which I was hoping we'd get into, was the whole Rebecca and Brynn fight about like the when you're a parent,'ll know because I would have liked that to be Relitigated just for the fun of it. So then Rebecca's like, yeah When are we going to the rexis and she goes like I'm paid six second in origin rack But cuz like yeah, we pretend a bag for you. She's like, oh, man So Andy's like, all right well

poop from Scooper says, Jordan wants to know when I started to click that Brynn had an issue with you. And she's like, you know, it was really fun to hear about Brynn trying to make fun of my brand that I've built over the past 20 years. And it started to click when I found out

about the Nordstrom Rack comment. That was when I found out, yeah. Yeah, I mean, you're supposed to drag me back. You're supposed to be like, bitch, you sold sweatshirts at BravoCon, eh. Which is what she told her on camera, which we all heard. She's like, this is what you're supposed to do. You're supposed to fight with me over made up things.

And she's like, I don't need to be produced by you. And so I was like, yeah, Brynn, that feels like producing. She's like, no, it's not producing. I mean, it's conversation in Hamptons. And all you kept saying is like, I don't know how to do this. I'm just here to promote my brand. So. Yeah, but it's better than just showing up and lying

and trying to cause fights over nothing. That's not what it is. Yeah. So I don't know who told you that that's what it was, but that's not what it's supposed to be either. And this is what fucking sucks about Brynn is that she like throws the shade at Rebecca, not cause she even feels it.

I don't think she even feels it. I think she does it cause she knows it's going to create like a scene. It'll be funny. So it comes from an inauthentic place. So within any interaction that's built off of that, that's going to be, it's going to be inauthentic and it just sucks. And then she, and then she's like, people, if I try to like apologize to someone, they're going to say I'm being like inauthentic and manipulative. It's cause we see you doing it time and time again. You literally just said,

if I say this to you, you're supposed to say this back. But instead, Rebecca had a reaction that was authentic to herself, which is like, I'm not going to engage with this because I'm 30 times more successful than Brian, who still has not been able to like name whatever job she has. And I don't have to, I don't have to like do your stupid games and promote my shit. Well, buy an advertisement. Don't try and get an apple.

Oh, whatever. All you do is promote your fake fucking personality and your fake job and your fake this and your fake that. You're totally making something up to promote on this show. Cy talks about her influencing. Aaron talks about her homegirl business and her Bitcoin and all that other shit. Give me a break.

That's why everybody goes on Housewives. Yeah, they're acting like this is a whole unique phenomenon. So Rebecca talks about how her business shrank 70% after COVID. So she was like, she wanted to do this as a way to get back into the mix. This is a flashback on the helicopter. And that's when Brynn says,

playing advertisement. So Andy's like, so you thought she was being inauthentic? And Brynn's like, yeah, you're waiting. You're wasting like everyone's time. Are you kidding me? You're going to be the one to talk about wasting time. It's been two years that you've been wasting my time. We sit here. You know what I could be doing right now? Literally anything else in the world. I could be going to Nordstrom Rack instead of sitting here talking on a podcast about you because you're a waste of space on this show and you've dragged down an incredible franchise and we have to sit here and talk about it. Talk about a waste of everyone's

time. Jeez, Brynne Whitfield. And so then she goes off on everyone shares but you. She's a friend of like, listen, I don't know why I'm sitting here sticking up so much for Rebecca Minkoff. I mean, she didn't do a ton of stuff on the show, but she wasn't mean to everybody. So I don't really understand this whole, like, let's bully this chick. Like, if you feel like she didn't say anything, just be nice and let her go. I mean, what the hell?

I know why we're standing up. Well, aside from the fact that, like, we've sort of oddly, I've oddly enjoyed her all season for reasons I can't explain because I do think that, like, I do enjoy her. We like her squint acting. Her squint acting, it's like very effective for me. Like I love because all everyone in this cast Has like Laura or the cast in general comes together and produces very boring television And then she just comes in and squints at them like wow

Wow, you guys really are so boring and I know you're calling me boring, but I'm squinting at you and I can see that You're the boring ones. So like I like that But the other thing is that I don't remember even what my other point was I got squinted my other point'm squinting at you and I can see that you're the boring ones. So like, I like that. But the other thing is that, um, I don't remember even what my other point was. I got squinted. My other point got squinted right the hell out of me. I know. I was like, I know where we're standing up for her. I can't remember why, but we are. Because she came to the crappies cause we, she's been nice way before.

We've been making fun of her nonstop. So it's not even that. It's just like, I think they're being mean to her for no reason. I just don't really understand it. I think it's like, Oh, here's why I get mad. Here's why I get mad. Because I feel like in this segment, they, they are like, like they are so dismissive of her in a way where they're not dismissive of each other and in a way that I would have liked. Like, why are they not holding Jenna to task? Okay, I'm sorry. I like Jenna, but she's been fucking boring all season. She made a Pavlova, okay?

So like, as I like Jenna, and I also like Rebecca, but they don't take Jenna to task at all about being boring. And you cannot tell me a single thing she did this season besides making a little bit and running Bentley. Sigh cut her foot. That's all. We don't know anything more about Sigh.

She didn't do anything but give like little funny bon mots here and there, but she did share anything about her life this season. Aaron shared a lot. Brent shared a lot. Uba shared kind of a bit. I just realized the answer, Ron. I figured out why they are so mean to her.

I totally just figured it out. The pregnancy prank was so reviled by the audience and everyone like after that pregnancy prank thing happened, people were like, that's it, get rid of this entire cast. And now they are scapegoating Rebecca for it. And the truth is- Erin. Yeah, Erin, I think was just as culpable and she'd probably be like, no,

I helped her out, but no, sorry. No, it should be told. It's production's fault. This is neither. They just did a prank. It's fine. They did a prank. People do pranks. Production made the mistake of putting it at the center of the trailer and building it up and fucking with the audience. That was the fault of the show runner. Show runner should be fired from the show, I'll just say it. But like, I think the cast is looking for this.

It's Eric Fuller, I think, isn't it? Everyone online thinks it's Eric Fuller. That's what everyone's saying. How many shows does this guy get to fuck up before you guys just fire his ass? Like seriously, come on, man. I feel like I want like, before I fully like get on the Eric Fuller like hate train

I have to double check to make sure like there's probably other people who've gone from show to show to show and so like I don't want to just put it all on eric, but he has been on all three flop shows recently atlanta Potomac and this and like that's a problem Yeah, that's a problem. So anyway now we get back to but I do think that you're her. I think they're gonna blame her for everything. But it was Aaron, cause you know Aaron was like, let's do something funny. And then Brynn was the one who took it to the level of she's fucking all these random people and doing all this and made it even worse. So I mean, girl. And let's not forget, it could have been an okay prank,

but Aaron was the one who ruined it. Aaron told Brynn, she's like, it's actually a prank. And she's like, I'm not gonna do it. And she's like, I'm not gonna do it. And she's like, I'm not gonna do it. And she's like, I'm not gonna do it. And she's like, I'm not gonna do it. And she's like, I'm not gonna do it.

And she's like, I'm not gonna do it. And she's like, I'm not gonna do it. And she's like, I'm not gonna do it. And she's like, I'm not gonna do it. And she's like, I'm not gonna do it. And she's like, I'm not gonna do it. And she's like, I'm not gonna do it. And she's like, I'm not gonna do it. And she's like, I'm not gonna do it. And she's like, I'm not gonna do it. And she's like, I'm not gonna do it. And she's, and let's not forget, it could have been an okay prank,

but Aaron was the one who ruined it. Aaron told Brynn, she's like, it's actually a prank. And then Brynn then did all of her ridiculousness. And it just became the stupid, annoying thing that like, even if it was solely Rebecca's idea, Aaron, Aaron literally fucked up a prank again. Again. So let's watch her skate. I mean, get get the girl's in a tutu because she's skating free. So then We and he asks Rebecca what her reaction was when sigh called her boring on the Jeff Lewis show Which he just says hot mic. He doesn't say Jeff Lewis, but we all know that's who it was

so then we see that clip and then Brynn's like, I just saw the podcast thing, cause it went viral. Which I love that Brynn is still watching Jeff Lewis clips, even though she's so triggered and hurt and deeply, deeply disturbed that a man would ever, ever say. So anyway, Rebecca's like, well, I texted Cy after that and she clarified that she meant that I was nice and the show was boring.

So I believed that until the confessional where she just doubled down on the boring and said, yep, she's boring. And so I just goes, she's so nice. Mm-hmm. She goes, you know what? Can we talk about something? I mean, you're not actually nice.

That's what I've learned. Oh, okay, Aaron. Swing for the fences, Aaron. Let's see what you got, baby. So Rebecca's like, okay, like you want to talk about this now or later. And everyone's like, well, whatever you'd like to do. So Andy's like, why is Rebecca? Why do you think Rebecca is not nice? Because she called me to complain about me bringing up, how are you Jewish? And how are you a Scientologist, which was approved language actually from you, but she didn't like the tone in which I said it,

you know, because then proceeded to text with some crazy messages while I'm at Bravo Fan Fest, about to go on stage. And then we played phone tag. And then the first time she texted me about the Scientologist stuff, my dad was in that episode. And she goes, wow, you know, I didn't realize your dad was in that episode. And she goes, wow, you know, I didn't realize your dad was in that episode.

It was probably shitty timing for me to complain about the tone of the way you said something. What a fucking bitch being considerate about the fact that my dad was in the episode. She's still mean. So Erin makes this whole case about what a bitch she is. And then she's like, and then she apologized. I'm like, so that's your ending?

Like she was completely nice to you and courteous about it. What the fuck? So then we see the text and Rebecca'm like, so that's your ending? Like, she was completely nice to you and courteous about it? What the fuck? So then we see the text and Rebecca's like, hey, my call to you was ill timed. I should have asked how you are doing after that episode. And I was so wrapped up in myself that I didn't. I'm sorry. I hope you're okay and holding up. What a fucking bitch. What a fucking bitch. What a monster. So then Aaron writes back, thanks for saying that. You notice that Erin never apologizes back? Every time, and it's always Erin's fucking fault too. And every time she gets an apology, she never says, I'm sorry too. She always goes, well, thank you. Cause I was a little taken aback, especially when it was approved language. And yesterday was awful for me for thanks. So thanks for checking in. And Andy goes, but wasn't that nice? And she's like, yeah, but then my episode with my dad

actually comes on and not once did you check on me. Maybe because you never called her back, Aaron. Maybe she figured you fucking hated her now. You just said yourself that you decided you didn't wanna speak to her after she, you'd been playing phone tag for a couple of days and then you just blew her off. So she probably figured this girl hates me now.

What do you want? But actually as it turns out that she did because she's like, yeah, I did reach out to you after you said your dad was sick and everything. And she's like, look, I even sent you a poem. I checked on you and Aaron's like, Oh wow. She sent me a poem. And you know, it sounds silly. Like, oh my God, she sent her a poem. But then when you see the text in the context, she, you see that she sends a text with like some sort of poem and she goes, this is something that really helped me out in my life or whatever.

It was actually like a nice, a really nice text to send. It was just so, so now everyone's like, oh really, you didn't even reach out. I was like, it's literally right there. She reached out. She's such an asshole, this chick. And oh, I'm sorry, she only reached out with a pump. What do people normally do when people die?

They send you a card. Is that any better? It's the same thing and you just wouldn't call her back I mean, it's she's just such an asshole fucking Aaron So then it comes to you didn't check on me a ton So it doesn't right now it's not you didn't check you see he's moving the flag because she keeps losing So she keeps getting caught in her fucking lies And so she keeps moving the goalposts So Aaron's like well all you do is complain to everybody about Scientology. When? Your bags.

When? Your brand. When? When did she ever do any of that? We didn't see it. And you never worry about what we're going through except to send me probably 20 texts asking me if I'm okay. So then Rebecca's like, you know, I was mad that you were suddenly trying to separate yourself from, well, then it starts up at the prank and Rebecca's like, you know, I was mad that you were suddenly trying to separate yourself from, well, then they start to put the prank and Rebecca's like, I was mad that he was trying to separate yourself from it as if you had nothing to do with it. And we see a text from Rebecca that says, so that's how this goes on instead of a joint like and accepting responsibility and apologies to those upset for this.

I have done for what I've done. You just bought, like you just took the opportunity to like throw me right in front of the bus. And Aaron's like, what kind of text is this? Why can't you call and have a normal conversation? I have to know what you're talking about. Because you won't call her back. You've already established that. You hate her at this point, Aaron, you fucking liar.

She's like, yeah, I don't even know what you're talking about, the prank was your idea, was it not? That's all I've said about it. You're such a liar, Aaron. You totally made this go. You were the cockroach in the thing. You're the steal the phone from the person. And also like you totally delighted

in being part of the prank. And now you're acting like it was something you were dragged into. We saw you. You saw how much fun you had with it. We saw how you sat there at the table and were like a willing and active participant in it. We saw the way at the dodge ball thing,

you walked off the Rebecca and keyed with her and laughed. So don't act like suddenly it was like, oh, it was like this thing I had heard about was gonna happen, you know? Get over it. And Andy's like, well, by the way, you were a part of it. I mean, maybe it was her idea, but you were in it. And she's like, well, I'm not denying that,

but she was mad at me. Yeah, she's mad at you because you were throwing her under the bus and pretending you had nothing to do with it, Aaron. You talk in circles just like fucking Brent. So Andy's like, okay, I want to follow up. What do you mean by approved language? What does that mean?

And she's like, well, you know, Scientology is like sensitive, you know? So I said, am I allowed to ask you the question? How are you Jewish and Scientologist? Because like, I don't get it. And she said, yes, but then she got mad about me and she got mad about that. And that's like literally so weird. And she says, no, I wasn't mad about that. You said in a confessional, I don't understand how you can be two things

that are so opposed to each other. And then we see a flashback to that where she's like, I love Becky and I don't wanna judge, but like, how can you have two religions that are so different? And she's like, to see that from you is just disappointing, Aaron. Okay, now to just go against Rebecca,

you can't come on here as a Scientologist, have all of your press being like, oh my God, this fucking Scientologist is coming on, and then not have anybody ask you about it, especially if your only answer is gonna be like, oh my God, it just makes me, it helps me with my business, it helps me get my thoughts together, it helps me be a better mother.

I mean, shit, at that point, I wanted to be a Scientologist and I don't even have a business for kids. UFO lands in Suffolk and that's official, said the News of the World.

And Aaron's like, you know, Rebecca, we're supposed to be talking about like how we feel

in the moment of filming. Like that's what a confessional is. And Andy's like, yeah, has she given you a clear explanation? Ha ha ha pun of how she could be Jewish and a Scientologist. And Aaron's like, I don't fully understand. I mean, yeah, she explained it, but I don't understand. I believe it or not. I felt like Rebecca gave an explanation that like, I understood how it worked for her when she said like Judaism is her religion. And then Scientologists are applied. Like that's the philosophy. I mean, it is sort of strange to have two religions in your life at the same time. But I also was kind of on this mindset of like, you know what, like that's the philosophy. I mean, it is sort of strange to have two religions in your life at the same time. But I also was kind of this mindset of like, you know

what, like just it's working for her. It's what she likes. If she winds up having to fork over a chunk of her salary or not to the Scientology, that's on her right now. And like, I can't, I just can't summon the energy with everything else going on in the world to get mad about someone else's choice about what they're doing with their money and their religion. Pete I mean, I've seen enough documentaries to be pissed at Scientology. So, I don't, you know, I don't have a problem with being pissed at Scientology. And I honestly would rather Rebecca have stuck with her original answer, which is like, Judaism is my religion, Scientology is my…

Jared Applied philosophy. which is like Judaism is my religion, Scientology is my applied philosophy, whatever, my applied philosophy. But she didn't, instead, I think she got approved language from the church because she came back with a whole different tune this time and they showed it, they kept cutting away and showing what she had originally said compared to now, where now she's like,

well, Scientology is a recognized religion and this is hate speech. I'm like, girl, please, no, I'm sorry. I'm not down with that. Scientology is a recognized religion and this is hate speech. I'm like, girl, please, no, I'm sorry. I'm not down with that. Scientology is some bullshit made up by some fucking crazy author who wanted your money. He even has a quote saying, the way to be rich is rich,

but to get even richer, you need a religion or something bullshit. Like, please, like do what you wanna do, but I'm not gonna buy this whole like hate speech crap, especially after the stuff we see the church has done in documentaries and stuff like that. So I'm not really buying that. I wish she had stuck to her original guns. But now, you know, she's doing this whole like, it's hate speech, blah, blah, blah. And then we get to the ladies and their confessionals all being like, I'm not saying shit about Scientology, they'll come for me.

Or no one has it a positive thing to say, right? So he's like, so do you all stand by your comments? And Jessel tells him that she went to dinner with Raquel and with Rebecca, and they asked a lot of Scientology questions. And he's like, well, why didn't you talk about it on camera? And they're like, well, she was reluctant to talk about it. And she's like, well, why didn't you talk about it on camera? And they're like, well, she was reluctant to talk about it. And she's like, well, I wasn't reluctant to discuss it with my friend, Erin, who's decided she's not my friend anymore, but I mean, whatever. And he's like, but you gave her talking points. It sounds like anyone can say anything

and you're on a reality show. So you can see Andy's mad at that point. Whenever Andy hears that someone's like holding back, he gets upset. So Brynn was like, yeah, it's unscripted. Oh shush Brynn, miss, like you're supposed to say this when I say this, and then you're gonna say it's unscripted. So Andy's like, well, whatever.

But she did say it on camera. She did explain it on camera. So that's what I don't understand about this. She did explain why she's in it and if they had more questions they could have asked. They never asked her and she said, I don't wanna talk about this. That's when I was like frustrated with this

because I felt like, you know what, to be honest, the Scientology aspect of Rebecca is like not what I care about. You know, it's like I care about her interactions with people on screen. And of course we didn't get a lot of that. And she did tell us at the crappies, like I was talking a lot and they edit it.

They just edit everything I was talking about. But like I, I want to hear, I would have loved to have dug in more about her fight with Brynn. I would have let her relationship with Brynn because I thought that was fascinating the way that Brynn was trying so hard to get under Rebecca's skin and like Rebecca wouldn't do it or like why Rebecca wouldn't drink. Like let's, can we just talk about the stuff that happens on the show? Like the Scientology stuff is like, it's quick. It's like, it's a fun thing to kind of like discuss,

but this entire segment just became about Scientology. And I was like, I didn't, I didn't tune into Rebecca to find out about Scientology. Honestly, if I wanted to, I would watch the documentaries that you're talking about. Well, and it's like they cast her to, they cast a Scientologist so they could have this big Scientology controversy. And she was like, no. Yeah.

Which I kind of like. She's like, help me. Cause now they're gonna bring it, now they're gonna like hold her feet to the fire for this now, which is like, oh, okay. Now you guys want to hold her feet to the fire. Cause you know the audience was pissed off about it. Because remember this stuff is shown,

this stuff is all filmed before we ever, before they ever, obviously, this stuff is filmed and put on TV before they know what the audience reaction is. It's not like it's in live time. So once they were fine with not holding their feet to the fire about Scientology until they saw it on the feeds and everybody having a fit about it. And now they're going to act like they're big and tough about Scientology. Like your morals don't matter now just because you're doing them because they're popular. You know,

you can't just come up with morals because they're the popular thing to do when you didn't have them back then. Like I don't, I can't with these people, you know, you should have been pissed right at the beginning and said something right at the beginning, not hold it until the reunion to be so morally offended by the whole religion. Give me a fucking break.

Yeah, so Aaron's like, well, I'm just curious because I didn't say anything in the confessional other than the Jewish thing. So Rebecca goes, well, I just think the tone you took. And Aaron goes, oh, tone. And Rebecca, sorry, I said the word tone again. Like when is Aaron, all of a sudden Erin's gonna be like, I didn't like the tone.

I feel like half of Erin's fights and issues and the way she excuses herself is like all about tone. She's like, I didn't say it with that tone. I said it with this tone. I was like, hey, this will be a funny thing. Not like a, hey, this will be a funny thing. Erin gets off, she excuses herself out of everything because of tone.

Yeah. Yeah, and now Rebecca says, Rebecca says I didn't like the tone, which you said. She's like, oh excuses herself out of everything because of tone. Yeah. Yeah, and now Rebecca says, Rebecca says, I didn't like the tone in what you said. She's like, oh, tone, suddenly tone, oh wow. Shush. I think what she's trying to say is she came in already being judged. And Rebecca's like, yeah, I mean, like,

instead of being like, I want to know more, you guys are like, I'm going to bring it up because it's click bait, you know, and you wanted a reaction. And Raquel's like, but if you allow the opportunity to ask, and Brynn's like, well, on the helicopter, like literally, I held her hand, and I was like, I'm so sorry about the article that came out about you.

Like, how can we help you? What can we do? Can I spread around that you're fucking around on your husband and having orgies? That'd be fun. Yeah, by the way, Brynn, we saw that. You did not hold her hand and say, oh my God, what do we do?

You were like, if people ask us, what should we say? Should we be like, we know what's in our ears? She was, there was no expression of care in what you were saying. So Rebecca's like, I know. And you said, and I said, you can say no comment because you don't know how to answer those questions and they can come to me.

Brynn's like, yeah, but that's weird. That's like not how stuff works in life. No comment. That's like creepier than you're adding to the creepiness. Well then you come up with your own fucking answer Brynn. Like what do you want us to say? She said, say no comment. If you don't want to say no comment, since you seem to be so media savvy, then why are

you even asking her in the first place? So Rebecca's like, I'm not saying no comment. I'm saying for you to say no comment if you don't know the answer to come to me. And Raquel's like, but you didn't wanna discuss it. And, but she did discuss it. So like how much do you need to discuss it? Like how much, what do you like about this religion?

Here's what I like about the religion. Why aren't you discussing it? I just told you what I liked about the religion. No, but you need to tell me more. Okay, well I like that it's like, but you need to tell me more. Okay, well, I like that it's like a good philosophy, but tell me more. What do you want her to talk about? Christi Alli's underwear? I mean, Jesus Christ. But by the way, why is no one applying this energy to Jenna's personal life? Because why is nobody applying this to, and I'm not going to start making this all religions are

equal, but why do we have to know about everybody's religion so deeply when are we Gonna ask Aaron about Zionism and when are we gonna ask Aaron about all her fucking Trump votes and her her Donations to the fucking Ted Cruz fund and all this other shit. Like if we're gonna go there do it with everybody I don't care about any of your fucking religions. Okay, I choose none of them and I don't want to hear about them from any AU So Jenna is like, she's like, sorry, I'm just like saying for me, like, because I saw that you felt reluctant at the picnic and whether that was reaction to brain or someone else, like we were all feeling like we just like we didn't want to bring it up because it felt

like it was a closed subject. I'm like, Jenna, you're the one who's like, I refuse to bring my fiance on TV and I'd be like, oh no, it's a closed subject. Yeah. So he's like, okay, so why were you attacked? And this is where I'm not on Rebecca's side. I don't think she was attacked. I feel like they were very nice to her. But she says, okay, well, I feel like when someone calls

someone a used car salesman selling snake oil, that's offensive. When Brynn never even bothered to get to know me. And she goes, but I literally asked you to picnic. Yeah. She, you asked her and she told you. And then what did you do when she gave you her answer? You called her a snake salesman.

So now you're saying you want her to talk about the religion more, even though you were complaining about her talking about her religion in the first place. You see the- Yeah. That's why she's not going to talk. Yeah. It's like, I'm not sitting here trying to stand up for Scientology. I'm not sitting here trying to stand up for Scientology. I'm not,

but what I am going to stand up for is someone who has these idiots coming for them, you know? And that's where I get so mad. So I'm like, I will stand up. I will take a stand for Rebecca Minkoff because I just feel like they're such hypocrites and they like, we are stuck with their boring asses for whole season. And then someone comes in and is honestly more or less innocuous. She squints at, Rebecca squints at them, talks about shitting her pants, having mucus on her boobs or whatever.

And more or less is like whatever. And then suddenly they treat her like she's like the garbage of the earth. It's like, no, you people are the ones who have made our lives so annoying. Yeah. Inception of, you know, like a few other moments.

For me, it's the moral outrage by popular demand that I just can't get behind. I'm like, oh, now you're mad. Now you're suddenly all mad because you know how the audience feels. So I'll shut up. Well then, so they're like, well, no, they're like, well, we try to get to know you.

We try to ask you questions. And Rebecca's like, you guys never even bothered to get to know me. And Brynn goes, because you moved to Florida a week before we started filming and you like fly in to film with us and you know I love Rebecca's response she goes she goes you know what though I own two houses here and I pay taxes here like most successful people live in multiple places so don't tell me about where I live I was like I thought that was actually a really good burn that did not get the credit it deserved it was was her way of being like, yeah, I am extremely successful.

I have a house in Florida. I can do that. I'm allowed to do that. Yeah, multiple homes, you fucking twit. And Brynn's like, well, congratulations, but you don't live in New York. Yeah, she fucking, what part about two homes did you not just hear a five story walk up?

I know, I know. And she goes, she goes, that's completely untrue. Are you like the location police? Like who are you? And Brynn's like, I don't even know what that means. Well, I'm glad you talked about my whereabouts. If you want me to understand something, please quote a movie, thanks.

Yeah. And then Brynn, you can see Brynn wants to make a comeback about like Scientologists like stalking people who've left a religion, but she's like, I'm not gonna do that on TV. Yeah, because I'm glad you're noting my whereabouts. And she goes, no, that's probably what you do. Because she's still too scared.

She starts to, she's about to. Grow some heels, man, Jesus. So Andy's like, whoa, we got a big reaction. Diamond from in your butt hole says, no thanks, stop normalizing cult. What's your reaction to the use of the word cult? And she's like, wow, that is bigoted. I mean, it's hate speech to keep calling a religion a cult.

And like, you wouldn't be asking me these questions about Christianity, Muslim, Judaism. I'm like, tired of attacks. And it's only like, okay, for this religion, it's like, nah. Yeah. Um, so then, yeah. And again, I'm totally fine with questioning Scientology and people being pissed off about it being glorified on TV. I mean, I actually get that. So then he's like, okay, got it. So, um, Ros from nine to five says, did you really expect to come on a reality show as a Scientologist and not talk about it?

And she's like, you know what? I can have an honest conversation and this is not something you can answer in one hour. We talked about it at dinner and we weren't done in an hour. And Brynn's like, this is the exact format. Really? Because she talked about it to you

and you complained and called her a snake oil salesman. So shut up. So he's like, well, you had tons of hours. I mean, you were on a trip to Puerto Rico exact format. Really? Because she talked about it to you and you complained and called her a snake oil salesman. So she said it. So he's like, well, you had tons of hours. I mean, you were on a trip to Puerto Rico that was five episodes and nothing happened. So, until the end, obviously. And she's like, I'm not gonna just be out of the blue

and be like, guys, let me clarify this. And then Brynn's like, but there's like a negative connotation around it. And there's like so many misleading things. And I told him to helicopter, like maybe use this as a way to set something record straight and like, tell us about like what you just said earlier. And when you sat down, like, help me get. OK, but Brynn, you're also the one who just cried in the dress room saying,

like, you didn't want to like call up Uber, right? Like you understood the value of like bringing something up in the proper context and not calling someone out of the blue. So now like you have to, now you're saying to Rebecca, like, oh, Rebecca, just start talking about it. And Rebecca doesn't want to talk about it. She probably does not want to like make this her identity on the show.

But what kills me is she did talk about it. Bryn goes, tell us about like what you just said earlier when you sat down, like it helped me be a better mom. It got me out of depression. She literally told you that on the show. Why are you accusing her of not saying it? She said it on the show. Oh my God, I can't with this lady.

I just can't. So Andy goes, so before I let you go, I wanna know, is there anything else you wanna address? And she's like, okay, I'm sorry, Aaron, that I didn't call to check in on your father. I can understand how incredibly insensitive that seems. And I'm really sorry. I know, and incredibly insensitive that seems, and I'm really sorry. I know, and in parentheses,

that I only sent you 90 texts and you never called me back any of the 10 times I tried to call you in the first place. So I'm very sorry. And she goes, yeah, well, thank you, which is typical. No apology back, just a thank you. Cause I was really shocked that we were still talking about my tone

and not the real stuff. So I appreciate it. I think if Rebecca Minkoff had been more of a fan favorite, I was really shocked that we were still talking about my tone and not the real stuff. So I appreciate it. I think if Rebecca Minkoff had been more of a fan favorite, and I think the fans were basically indifferent. I don't think that people even hated her. I think they're just like, she's whatever. I think they hated her and then they kind of came around towards the end when she was

being funny in that finale, you know? Yeah. And I think that like when, like if they, if, if the fans had liked her, Aaron would have been kissing her ass. But then Aaron saw this was like a, like an easy person that she could dunk on. So she's just like, whatever. So Rebecca's like, and for anyone that I offended with my infertility and terrible pranks and you know, like someone who went through it myself, that wasn't sensitive.

And I had no idea, but like not just beyond you guys, anyone who's dealing with that, I really apologize. And he's like, okay, does anyone have anything else they want to address with Rebecca? And they all just sit there quietly. They like, like don't even acknowledge. Doesn't Sy take a selfie? Like they all just throw her off and look away from her.

Ugh, they're mean. They're so nasty. This cast isn't fun and they're mean. Like I just don't, I don't like it. She's like, okay, well, quick and dirty, I guess. So then they just ignore her and Brent's like, can I get a diet coke? I'd do anything for a diet coke.

Ah! Rebecca's like, so do I just wait here on the sofa? Like, is anyone gonna come get me? Even the crew ignores her. I mean, Jesus Christ. So Andy's like, Rebecca wants to know if she should exit. Yes, you exit. They told me you exit.

All right, bye everyone. Yikes. I was like, that was awkward. And yeah, that was really awkward. That was one of the more awkward segments we've had on a reunion and not saying something. Yeah, that was wild. Congratulations you've reached the end of part one of a two-part recap. For part
