Podcast One presents The Lady Gang, The Hollywood Girl Posse with Lady Gang Quickie. Here's Kelty Knight, Becca Tobin, and Jack Vanek. Let's make this quick. Hello, hello, hello. Welcome to The Lady Gang Quickie.

I am Becca here with Jack and Kelty. I can't talk today. I allegedly not. I'm on day four of vacation. I'm brain dead. Brain dead. Just lots of tequila, margaritas, coffee. Lots of lucid nicotine pouches, but that doesn't do anything except make me sharp and brilliant and help me poop. But here we are. Wow. Damn. You didn't know this trick? No. Oh, yeah. That's, oh my God. Back in the day, everybody would just be like, I need a cigarette and a coffee, and it sends me straight to the bathroom. I should start smoking. No, you should start

using these nicotine pouches because it is immediate. Immediate. It's wild. You don't even have to leave it in for more than 20 seconds and then you're like oh the juices are flowing and then you're going wouldn't it be crazy if i got addicted to nicotine at 39 years old like this is when i start honestly you need something fresh yeah you need a new thing you know yeah you're getting a little boring yeah your medical stuff is yeah we're we're done now we're gonna be doing nicotine okay i'm like how and then you can write an essay for the cut after years of trouble with doctors and nicotine patch saved my life. Ooh, and then I could get a sponsorship. This is great. I do have one. Lucy is our sponsor.

Yeah. All right. Well, I need a personal one. Oh, shit. Okay. Today we are, well, Becca, why don't you like take us into how this idea came about? Well, you know, the things around town, all the hot goss, all the news, like it's all swirling, right? We're all getting all these random things in our algorithm about what's happening on Summer House and The West and Amanda. And I feel like, you know, we just took everything and we've distilled it down into this quickie for you because we want you guys to be in the know. And we don't want you getting your information from the wrong sources. And we are historians of Bravo. We are psychological studiers. And so we're going to take you through

because we can't stop thinking about it. I can't stop thinking about it. Well, and I think like what we were talking about, we were chatting in our text chain yesterday, and it's like the concept of these beautiful, stunning, amazing women falling for the most mediocre white man. We're like, how does this happen? How do they ruin your life? This has happened to me and Kelsey and probably many of you out there listening. and then it's like once you're out of the relationship and you're looking back on things you're like how the hell did that happen with this loser so we're kind of trying to break that down being like what is going on here it's like an epidemic and I don't know this man and I in the words of Kiki Palmer I'm sorry to this man like I've I don't know this man but I was like with sierra just two weeks ago she's a goddess she's like goddess so gorgeous so cool and then i like when i was looking at this i did a deep dive and i was like this like this is the specimen that has

you like it's wild so in a chokehold a little bit about wes wilson he is 31 his mom is an ob gyn which I think is very interesting. He has two brothers. His family owns a farm. This is the farm that Sierra visited. He, you know, he was a football guy, which kind of leans into being like a douchebag. No, not that all football players are douchebags, but I think like it leans to being popular and then having your choice of any girl and learning how to be like that guy. He worked for Major League Baseball. He, you know, had like a complex series in 2024. And in 2023, it's when he came in to Summer House through Lindsey.

Oh, that was so, I didn't realize he, so he's only been on Summer House. This is his third season. Yeah, he was brand new. He met Lindsey out in New York City. He was a newbie alongside Jesse Solomon. um his bravo bio at the time is like he was just laid off and he's struggling with commitment in dating it was right there as west becomes a fan favorite he has this midwestern charm his bromance and then his chemistry with sierra and then after filming of that season sierra and west get

together they visit the farm they attend a wedding together which you know is like massive and then uh west ends things with sierra at this dinner um saying he like couldn't commit for show related reasons then he went on like a bunch of podcasts and did like some like um an article an article just about how much he didn't like her like he's just thrown her under the bus so many times and been such a asshole to her yeah so at the season eight reunion just remember he's he admitted that the breakup felt more mutual in real time. To me, that is the wildest thing you can say. It felt like it was mutual.

It was mutual. And she's heartbroken. Like, of course he's going to say that. It kind of reminds me of like when a guy is like, yeah, we're in an open relationship, but it's like only open for him, you know? It's like, well, that's what I thought it was. Like, I thought it was mutual.

It's like, okay. Anyway, so blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. That's the backstory on West. He's mediocre. Where are we at, Jack? Okay, so there's a few things that I want to talk about. First, I did think his age was interesting because I was like, how old are these people, really?

I don't know anybody's ages. Everybody kind of looks the same to me. So like you said, West is 31, Sierra's 30, and then Amanda's 34. And then I think Kyle is like 44 or something like that. Or whatever, maybe he's mid-40s. So those are the ages that we're- They're too old to be around like this.

That's what I'm saying. like especially Amanda, like that's a couple of years younger than me. So to be getting caught up in a situation like that in your mid forties is interesting, I guess. Like the eggs are dead, babe. Like we need to be fertilizing. Yeah. Sorry not to put pressure on her, but. So what we haven't talked about yet, this happened, uh, I think like two weeks ago. Um, but a lot of you probably haven't seen it, but there was these audio clips that leaked from the reunion and it was mid-fight, like mid-brawl happening. And I think the craziest part of it all is it had to have been leaked either by a cast member or production. And there was this whole internal

investigation about who leaked it. Allegedly, they found the person through a fan who somehow found out who that person was. But I ended up posting a video of the audio on TikTok. It would never let me post it on Instagram. I kept flagging it as like copyright or something like that but it let me post it on TikTok and then it got taken down like for fraud I don't know what it was but they took my whole video down so they were like cracking down on this audio it was crazy like for all and I couldn't find it so I had to like find the um transcription of it to pull some quotes from it so they were like I mean I wish that they would work this hard for other things you know but why do they care so much isn't that good if it leaks like it makes people more excited

No, because what the part that leaked is literally like peak. It's what you watch three hours of reunion just to get to. It's like, to be honest, I don't even, after hearing that, I felt like, yeah, of course I'm watching every frame of this reunion, but I'm also, there's not going to be any surprises. It's like the crescendo. Yeah. Everyone's waiting to see like how everybody handles it. Who's going to come out and like do the attacking? Who's going to cower down? Who's going to be apologetic? Like you already know from all this audio. Yeah. And I think like the craziest thing about the audio was amanda's um attitude yeah because she was so rude and mean to sierra like sierra wronged her and she was so defensive and just like justifying everything and

being like you know sometimes you can't help your who you're attracted to and she's like well do you want me to be like celibate after this like such rude things that like don't make any sense and i think that was the biggest takeaway from that is just like no remorse doesn't feel bad at all and then also from the audio that we got west doesn't say a peep so like amanda's out there just like trying to defend herself to the end and west is just allegedly according to this audio just sitting there silent well he shut down two seasons ago at the reunion after the stuff came down came out with sierra and him having broken up him doing all the press about it and they were going after him to be like, how dare you? It's so f***ed up you would do this. And he had like

two words to say the entire reunion. Nothing. It shuts down. But that's what I'm saying. They're always like, I said sphincter and I know that's not the right word, but like. Sphincter isn't even a word. No, that's your butthole. But like, same. But like. He's a child. But like snake in the grass. Like you can make these big f***ing moves. You can like make these big moves, big f***ed up moves. And then when people come to talk to you about it, you like shut down. That's Well, she called Amanda a snake in the grass, and Amanda is a snake in the grass. West is such a dumbass. Like you said, Becca, he's like a kid.

He does all these dumb things, probably doesn't think about the repercussions or how they're going to affect people, and then cowers down when he has to face the consequences of his actions. Like, he doesn't defend himself. He's just like, oh. Yeah. And I just, I'm going to get destroyed for saying this. Destroyed.

I know this because obviously I'm team Sierra. I think, I think Amanda is a snake in the grass. I think what Amanda did is despicable, disgusting, manipulative, all the things, sneaky. But Sierra from two years ago, he showed you who he was. He was not that into you. He was never that into you. If a guy wants to be with you, he's going to be with you. If he likes you, he's going to show you he likes you. Yes, there were some flirtations and mixed messages, but like she's not an idiot he's like that with every woman and so I do feel like for him yes he's a piece of shit but I also think that he should sort of be taken out of this whole thing it's like he he'd never led her on like he to me as a viewer I know we didn't see everything but to me as a

viewer this every single frame I've ever seen of them since they broke up the first time was like this guy is not into you he's not doing anything to show you he's into you he's making out with a girl in front of you at the at the house like it's all these things and i i feel sad that sierra couldn't have received that message and listen we've all been there we've all had that guy that we just like cannot get over like but he says he loves me while he's literally humping someone else i do think that he let her on but like he's it's like it's just the most but you're on a show saying this while he's doing the other thing and then back and forth and then crying about her and then like how they're like making up in the last episode it's just it's such a mind and i

agree with you it's like you know he showed you his true colors two years ago yeah however as somebody who has been in that position before and it's just like you have blinders on yeah and you just can't get out of your own head and it's the one dude i said this when we talked about it before it's just the one dude that's you up so bad forever you can't think straight that'll be her one that has her up for the rest of her life like even though they were not and you know people will defend him or whatever it's like they're never actually together it's like it doesn't matter right a situationship like that could be worse than like a divorce yeah yeah it just is it's at the end she's at her return to saturn you know so yeah um so okay can i ask a dumb

ask question. I am. I have to be honest here. I am so and I think there's probably some lady gangs invested. I'm so invested in this. I have never watched a single episode of Summer House. I don't think you need to. I'm only invested in this through the tabloids. So what do you need to understand his appeal? You do have to watch it to understand his appeal, because when he came in as a new cast member, he was fun. He was flirty. He was confident. He was quirky. He like he had all of the makings of the guy that every girl does fall for or want a fling with on this show. But why are they in the house? Because this is the concept. This is the whole thing of the house. It started out years ago. I mean, when Kyle was not an elderly person and he was single and fun

in his late 20s. And in New York City, a lot of the 20s, single 20s, they have a house share in the Hamptons. So they all go in and they all pay to share a house in the Hamptons because it's so expensive to get all your single friends together and you get this big house and you go out there every weekend. So it's a concept that's just existed forever. So that's how they started it with these like core people like Carl when he was still drinking Kyle when he was still single. And so they've just added on these extra people and then it's become married people because they've gotten older. And so really, truthfully, I'm like, if this were not a show, Kyle, no, If this were not a show on Bravo, West and Ciara would have never seen each other again after they

broke up the first time. Because there's no world that Ciara is going to be like, let me go do a summer share with the guy I'm obsessed with. It's all... That treats me like shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which is also why this whole thing is so different because there is a reality show involved and there are forced friendships and forced dynamics. Not to make it better or worse, it's just not real. It's not real life. If it were, Ciara would have met a gorgeous banker a year ago in her new summer house, and she would probably be getting married to an awesome guy. But instead, she has to go back to the trash because she has to do her job on the Bravo show.

Okay. Thank you very much for that. Okay. This is helpful. I was like, why are they in a house? Is this like the Jersey Shore? It kind of is. Kind of, yeah. Yeah. The Lady Gang. So basically then, I don't know if we had talked about this before, but after like Amanda and Wes put out their statement then they're just they're out and about they're going to these college college bars they're they were seen at that baseball game and it's just like

this is so interesting to me because she was like with Kyle she's like I don't want to date a DJ that just like parties all the time and then now she's not even dating because he won't even commit to her but she's seeing this guy who is also a Peter Pan who also wants to go party at college bar so you're doing the exact same thing you're complaining about with your ex and then now she's like dressing like him she's like her mannerisms are the same as him so she's definitely like the type of person that like chameleons with the type of guy that she's with wait is that the game where the lip reader our good lip our good goddess lip reader on tiktok was saying that she was like act like you like me yeah that was dark if you have to say act like you like me and on the jumbotron

so you're in danger girl and we can get to the how why this is so insane is because so they had the nbc up front like a couple days ago i think it was maybe on monday and they showed a sneak peek of the summer house reunion and it was before the reunion starts they're like going to sit out there and it's like kyle kyle kyle carl sierra and mia and they're kind of all huddled around and it's Kyle talking and he's like, okay, so the thing that I am focused the most on for this reunion is West's ease of lying. And then he says he knows for a fact

that West has been in a full-blown exclusive relationship since February of 2025 and they all have the receipts. So I guess to Becca's point where you're like, I don't need to watch it anymore. It's like, yes, we need to watch it because they allegedly have these receipts of West being in a whole relationship. With not any Sierra or Amanda.

With not Sierra or Amanda. it. It's with that Mija girl that he had talked about before that was like rumored who he was seeing. And so that's like the craziest thing to me is like all the weird shit that like he's now going to see Amanda and him are out and about New York. They have to make a joint statement at the same time that he has a full blown girlfriend. It's like, what is this man doing? He's just having fun. He's just having fun. You know what? You guys, I got to be honest. I fell for it I fell for it I had that boyfriend and he was like you're the love of my life and like I'm yours and then literally had a girlfriends in every city and was telling them that I was cool

with it we were in an open relationship like it's not a big deal so oh let's do it like but no one was filming me like it is weird he he even admitted though like two reunions ago he admitted that he wanted to have his pick. Like he loved that he was on this show and that girls were flooding his DMs. Like he was very open about like, yeah, of course, I love it. I'm famous now.

And girl, I'm paraphrasing. And women are flocking to my DMs. And it's okay that he didn't want to be in a committed... He could have really been into Ciara. But when you get put in that world, that big old world, like I dumped my boyfriend when I got on Glee, you guys. Because you know what?

The world changed. The world opened up. My opportunities opened up. And I just wasn't that into him. So you know what? It's like it's normal human behavior. I think the problem here is that he should have never with Amanda. He should have been smarter. Yes. Yeah. She's an idiot. He should have been smarter and been like, there are a million other women out there. But then I also do think there's a part of him. It's like when you join the new cast of something. Right. So Amanda is is she's been in that show for almost since the beginning. Right. So she's kind of like the senior of the reality show. And it's like housewives. When a new housewife comes in, she's smart to go to the senior reigning queen and become BFFs because it makes her relevancy even more relevant. And I think West did this a little bit with Amanda. She's like OG summer house. There's a lot of action and conversation and and relevancy. And so I think he just got carried away with that. Yeah. But what about the housewife? Okay. So wait, can I tell you the craziest thing that it's a quick aside, but it's wild.

I don't know if you guys saw it. So while this is all happening, all this West drama, his cousin murdered his grandma last month. Is that not insane? Yeah. April 22nd. So not like three weeks ago. So while he's and then also his nudes leaked, his dick pics leaked.

Did you see this, Becca? Wait, I didn't see the dick, but I heard that it got leaked. And it was a bad dick pic? And he said it was for medical reasons, right? No, you guys. So I saw it. You saw it? I saw one of them.

And he's just like standing in the mirror, flaccid penis, soft, soft, soft. And it's just like it looks like he almost accidentally took the picture in the mirror. Like it's so bizarre. but he and this is where it's like he does have this like charm he went on a podcast and was like talking about it and the way that he was responding to it was like so funny he's like yeah yeah they like weren't even good dick pics they're like medical yes they're medical and then he's like i don't know how they leaked the same day that they leaked my facebook got hacked in whatever um and they're really old they're like from his old apartment he's like i used to sauna and then

after I got out of the sauna, I would go take progress pics of my body. Eek. And then that was one of the dick pics. They weren't. Brutal. They weren't good. Well, at least it's a good explanation. Yeah. We've all done that. Yeah. Yeah. You know. Yeah. Progress pic. Progress pics. How embarrassing though to have a limp dick pic out there. Yeah. Yeah. It was, it's not. Karma. It's not great. So, um, so basically I don't know who Jen Fessler is. Can you guys give me housewife of New Jersey. Okay. And she's still on The Housewives? Yes. She's like in her late 50s, early 60s. And the video came out of her. They're very drunk. Her and West are very drunk eating pizza. Yeah. When was the timing of the video? Was it post? It was in 2024. Oh, okay. So this

is like pre any of the drama. Yeah. So yeah, there's that video of them kind of like they're wasted. Wasted. It's gross. So then I don't know who asked this, but it said former Real Housewives of New Jersey friend of Jen Fessler was asked by Page Six about the summer house scandal tonight. And she said this about West. West is the cutest, sweetest golden retriever puppy dog. He does not mean any harm. He didn't mean it. He's just trying to have a good time. He doesn't want to hurt anyone. Give him a break. And then so under this post, Sierra comments, LOL, because they slept together too. Like him and this older lady. Him and Jen Fessler. And then somebody goes, ma'am, I beg your pardon. Isn't that old lady married? He's got a type. And she goes,

that's what I thought. So then Jen responds and she goes, in all seriousness, and while I can't help to be a little flattered, it's not nice, nor is it okay to post something categorically untrue and defamatory on social media, regardless of whatever rumors or apparent evidence they have. that's the definition of libel if it were true i would have no recourse but because it's a lie this con can get more complicated blah blah blah blah and then she goes on tamara and um yeah teddy's in a pod teddy's podcast and they're asking her about it and she's like well you know i could sue for libel but i'm i'm not going to and my husband's a lawyer so it'd be really easy and then um sierra comments on a post about that and she goes don't with me and then it's the meme

of michael jackson eating the popcorn in the movie theater from the thriller music video and then she goes me watching people back down so she's saying it's true jen's saying it's not and but how would sierra know like is west being like hey uh sorry i broke your heart i said this old lady i'm sure Or she's probably known it for a while. I think it's just she made the comment as, like, a joke. You know what I mean? Sierra did it as a joke because it's, like, another, like, a lady that's, like, backing him up being adorable and cute. And she's like, so you basically drank the Kool-Aid, too.

You f***ed him, too. Like, he got you to f*** him, too. I don't think it's a joke because why would she say me washing people back down and don't f*** with me? Well, because she knows she's not going to sue her. That's the thing. she's like calling her bluff not because she can prove that they unless you have a sex tape of somebody i mean sierra can't prove it even if you know what i mean so it's true i think she's just kind of like jen got too feisty with the comment she should have just let it go but then jen was

like an an old lady like a crazy old lady yeah and so i think it was just sort of a that like calling the bluff of it all and i what i want for sierra is when this reunion airs and when we're done. I want her to go the Ariana Maddox route where it's like you don't even breathe their names. You don't make a you don't make a comment. You rise above and become a queen, a bigger queen than you already are. She's already in arenas that are so above the garbage of what that muck and mire is that if she continues, she's gorgeous enough, beautiful, funny. She has it all. I want her to stop slinging mud and show us that she's too good for it. Yeah, I agree. It's like now i think now you can she can get as messy as she wants until the reunion yes yeah and then

it's like then we elevate yes then we elevate sierra then we go find she's gonna find the best dude ever and be like what was i thinking what was apparently rihanna is like supposed to be hooking her up with some like a-list celebrity great thing so that's what how'd you find that out because mia said said that because they're all friends with rihanna because rihanna like loves summer house so she said that she was in her dms trying to hook sierra up with some celebs so i love it love it i tried to hook sierra up with a big celeb this week actually after met gala i don't want to tell you because they didn't know they were in on it well they weren't neither of them were in on it i was like come to this party there's this guy and like it wasn't her love of

her life because i did discuss with her that she needs a normie she needs someone that's not doing shirtless selfies on Instagram for her long-term love but for right now she should be in a PR relationship and really like elevate her star power you know I did the Kelty and I was like this person would be perfect and um I said what do you think and she said a little flashy for me so she is really looking for someone normal great yeah me too well she's gonna find it OK, so jury's out. West, me. Amanda, snake in the grass. She really fumbled because wasn't after the breakup. She was kind of set up to be the new Ariana. Yeah. And now everybody is like obsessed with Kyle because, you know, she played herself because for the last 10 years, people have been like, Kyle sucks.

he's been rumored to have cheated on her a million times like she had all the ball was in her court she had all the power because I think it's not I think that there's some truth there I think that he actually cheated on her and admitted to it before they got married has been out all night long when they were married and fans from all over the world of all these places he was visiting for lover boy have been like I made out with him my friend had sex with him like he was absolutely labeled a trash human. And now Amanda, because she went after the one guy that was off limits for her best friend. Now she has wiped his slate clean and he is now celebrated and people adore him. They've forgotten all of the, all of the other things. It's like,

she really f***ed herself. Well, and it's so funny. It's like, I'm seeing some videos of him on TikTok and I'm like, when did he get hot? Like all of a sudden now he's hot. Kyle? Yes. you're out of your mind they're like wait when did he actually get like attractive he did and it's just because he's djing no it's just because now he's he's like it's like Stella got her groove back he's a scorned man yeah he all of a sudden well and it's like I think he like unintentionally is playing the right game because it's like him being obviously Kelsey you're not watching but like a big storyline on the last season is him being super open about how lover boy like their beverage company is just like floundering and how it's just

been super hard to keep like the financials up he's in the trenches and he's like i don't know if i'm gonna be able to make my payments which is why i'm taking these dj gigs to make this money to support lover boy and it's like all ball amanda's like around behind his well you know what i mean so it's he him being honest about like what he's going through i think has been the vulnerability it's made him you know look yeah like he is kind of likable in this season minus I guess he had some blow up in this last episode yeah he lost his mind but also because his wife was sitting there like smirking at him it was really dark could you believe her face no I've never seen some so so but so gleeful in my life wild but then the other thing that I just

could not wrap my mind around is and this is how you know she's in total um self-combustion uh what is it when you like self sabotage sabotage so lover boy is tanking so this is like during summer house season before the affair alleged affair or before she says she was sleeping with west so she he's saying he's getting all the opportunities to dj to make the money to kind to like pull lover boy out of, pull them out of complete and utter like financial just ruin. And you're the wife and she's, how on earth are you going to sit there and not be so thrilled that there's a now a new reason for you to make some more money? Like the fact that she wasn't like, go, go DJ, go do a residency in Vegas, whatever it takes to like put more money in our

bank account and the fact that she's such a cunty little selfish bitch about it it's like what are you doing what is she doing what is she doing also like dj money is like the easiest money to make ever so yeah it's like come on and people watching forget that you make no money on reality tv like they're probably making at the most ten thousand dollars an episode so it's like but you're not even that right like maybe eight thousand five thousand and so it's like the end of the season And you're like, I made 60 grand. Well, by the time you like get the outfits and it's a disaster. Anyway, happy birthday, Jack.

And we will. We're here for a long time. We're here for a good time. A good time.
