Well, hello, and welcome to watch what crappins.
That we just love to talk about.
I'm Ben Mandelker and joining me this morning.
It's the one and only Ronnie Carpins.
I'm hey Ronnie what's going on well hello how are you I am doing just fabulous I'm actually here in
Dallas Texas today uh because I'm at a board game convention I'm nerding out I went from

We also have our bonus episode. Right after this, we are going to do a trailer trash on the new
Real Housewives of Road Island trailer that launched last weekend. So get excited for a lot of
Dolores doppelgangers, because that's pretty much what that one's all about. And aside from that,
you know we got uh coming up we got amazon live on monday everyone tune in for that because it's ahead
of black friday so we know you're gonna want to get your deals okay and that's that's basically it
from me what's going on with you ronnie uh just ready to rumble with some real housewives of
orange county yay fun times interesting choice by this show to just ignore
Gretchen's shit and blame it all on Tamara.
I'm really surprised, especially with Heather Dubrow,
who has, you know, obviously LGBTQ plus children
and is always making a stand and, you know,
always has a Trevor project scene.
And Heather is very much like, well, you're nice to me and my family.
Who cares? Who cares? Who cares? Who cares? So I'm actually pretty surprised
to buy that. Um, I didn't buy one second of that horse shit. Um, so I guess I'd like to start
this recap off by saying, fuck you, Gretchen and fuck you, Bravo for doing this. This is pretty
crazy. I mean, they're really just going to gaslight everybody, I guess. These posts were not
something that were made up and were photoshopped and put there. And everybody acting like,
oh, wow, what? Well, we couldn't find the likes. You know you can unlike shit, right? You dumbies?
Yeah. This has been out since 2023. I mean, and that's the.
The compilation has been out a lot longer than that that people have been talking about this.
So it's pretty crazy that they all know that this was real, and they're all just going to pretend that it wasn't.
For what?
To keep Gretchen?
Did Gretchen bring something that I didn't realize?
So that's my opening thoughts.
Wow.
How about you?
Yeah.
I mean, it was pretty wild.
And then segueing into the second half when they all just started piling on Tamara, that was the funniest thing to me.
I was cracking up because, I don't know, Tamara just seems so caught.
She seems so caught.
And, you know, this is aside from the fact that, like, why are we deflecting onto Tamara in the first place?
We shouldn't be.
But the way she just got to be like, baby, Slade, obviously, Slade.
I mean, I've played a lot.
Look, I'm at a board game convention.
And there's a lot of these social deduction games, like the traders and everything that we play.
And she, here's how I know that Tamara is caught.
Because she's acting like me every time I'm a secret bad guy in Mafia.
or something. Every time I'm caught,
she's doing the exact same
Ben Mandelker techniques. Be like, but what about this person?
What about Slade?
By the way, and yes, anytime I play Mafia,
I play Slate Smiley. I'm like, it's not me. It's Slate Smiley.
I'm innocent here.
Slate Smiley's been bad. People are like, who's Slate Smiley?
But I was just laughing
so much at Tamara.
She was so funny to me
this entire episode
because she was like, you know,
the tears come on cue.
But also, like, the way she just, like, screamed at Emily, which was hilarious.
She's like, why, you an asshole all the time?
I just cracked up.
So as much as this.
It was a good episode.
Yeah, there was a lot of darkness here and a lot of toxicity.
But the deflecting was fun because it's been the whole season, right?
Yeah.
It started with Tamara deflecting all of the naked wasted stuff, which she thought she would be called out on by turning it into, well, Gretchen said that I, you know, gave her a date rape truck.
So it started with a very good deflection.
and it's ending in, you know what,
I don't even think it's a deflection.
I think Tamara's right.
I think it's pretty obviously Slade.
I mean, in the final episode of the season,
when Gretchen is crying to Slade,
he's like, oh, really?
Well, I'm going to call the bloggers,
and I'm going to get on this,
and we'll get Tamara back.
And then immediately they all get a phone call.
He said something along the lines of like,
oh, yeah, we're going to figure this out.
We're going to get Tamara.
Something like that.
And then this happens.
And now they all deletionable.
deleted the DM.
Look, we don't even know who the DM was from because we just read it and then we deleted,
he deleted it on his end.
So we never really even saw who it was.
You fucking liars.
You are such liars, all three of you who are well versed by now in Instagram and bloggers
and getting gossip and trafficking and gossip.
None of you wrote down that name of who was sending you the DM.
You're full of it.
I mean, I will say, I mean, Tamara's strongest point is that she's been on the show for years
and years. And this is like the, this is the only season where it's gotten, like, it's been a real
issue like this with, with, uh, outside media. Although the funny part is that like the whole
crux of the central controversy of the season is that she was talking to basically a, a reporter
of a good standing. So like you, there's clearly outreach that happens. But I mean, I would love to
say that it's slayed.
Because I can't stand Slade.
And I believe that Slade is the type that would leak every single piece of information that you had.
But they did seem to have some decent logic towards the end of the episode about, you know, like Slade wouldn't know this information that was leaked.
Of course he would.
But of course he would know because they just shot the scene.
So everybody, everybody who was at the finale would know all of this information.
It's silly.
And Emily's saying, well, how would I know?
You just said that you talked about Tamer, you talked about these tweets with Tamara or all these likes with Tamara and
and Gina two weeks ago.
And now you're saying there's no other person
that knew except Gina and you.
Well, that's not true.
You knew, Emily.
And whoever you two big mouths talked to.
So the hypothesis is,
the hypothesis is that they are saying,
only Tamara and Gina knew that they had that conversation in that store.
And also, of course,
the entire production staff, by the way,
who filmed the entire thing.
Why is it, by the way,
why is production never considered one of the leaks ever?
Like, to me,
it's always so obvious that like it's like there could be just some person, some messy person on
production. Alex Baskin. It's the same with LVP. It doesn't even have to be. Oh, my God, who leaked this to the,
who could it be? Oh, really? Well, might be Alexia Baskin. I mean, it doesn't even have to be,
it's fun to think that it goes that high. It doesn't even have to be that high. It just could be like a
messy field producer who's, you know, and we've, we've met a good number of them in our lives, you know.
So it could just be that. And we've also met a ton of.
housewives and guess what they leak shit all the time or they try to you know they all so it's not
it's also not beyond any reason that tamara did leak stuff but it's not beyond reason that all of
them did and i don't remember a lot of stuff coming out about this season anyway there weren't
like huge leaks they were like oh guess what happens in episode three nothing like that even
happened the season the biggest thing that happened was this tamara gretchen thing i didn't hear
about the date rape drug accusations
or any of that stuff. I didn't hear about that.
That was the biggest thing from the season. I heard that Katie stopped
filming with the cast. I heard that there was allegations that
Katie did something illegal, which is, I think,
the Shannon video. That's illegal.
And I heard she didn't go on the cast trip. I heard things like that.
I heard that Tamara had quit. I heard that she was back.
So I heard things like that. In fact,
that's, I think a lot of us were really excited for the season
because there was so much stuff that was coming out ahead of time.
But the stuff that they're specifically talking that
this, you know, FBI witness muffled voice person talking about like,
I heard.
It's Chris Samuels.
It's just Chris Samuels.
We really needed the shadow, you know, in the shadows.
Like all that stuff, I had not heard ahead of time.
So, I mean, I don't know.
We obviously don't know who the leak is.
But I just felt like Tamara, whether she was the leak or not,
she reminded me so much of how badly I play these social deduction games.
I'm like, she's lucky she didn't make it farther into the traitors and, like, was a traitor
because she was, she was spiraling in that front chair.
And she was like, her head was going left and right.
And she's like, blah, bruce late.
And then, like, when everyone stopped listening to her, she finally starts crying to Andy,
ugh, I just, I mean, like, the stuff with Gretchen was dark, but I have to say, like,
to me, the episode was saved by the hilarity of this, like, wild goose chase.
They all were on over the stupid leaking situation.
Because ultimately, I think the good thing about it, you know, it is one situation where I believe Tamara, of all people, which made me feel extremely uncomfortable because I never agree with Tamara on shit.
But I thought what was super entertaining about it was that they beat Tamara at their own game.
And I thought that that was pretty wild.
That I do believe 100% this is Slade.
But it's also Slade beating Tamara, which is crazy.
I never thought I'd see that happen.
You know, someone who gets just as down and dirty with Tamara and beat her at her own game in the finale.
And of course, it helps that he had the help of the cast because the cast was like, fuck Tamara.
I mean, Tamara's quit how many times this season.
She's been a huge pain in the Astor Production and cast.
They're all so sick of her.
You can tell.
I mean, they're all saying how sick.
They're like, oh, God, did she quit again?
Jeez.
And now we're letting her back in.
You know, that's been a huge part of the end of the season.
So the fact that she got beat and the cast actually went and said, we're going to help Slade.
We all forgot who we got this DM from.
We all are just going to believe all of this horseshit.
We're all going to pretend that we didn't see these tweets
or know that these likes were going on the whole time.
That means the whole cast decided to team up and get rid of Tamara.
And I thought it was pretty funny because Tamara has been using these tactics for years.
And they got her.
They got her.
I also think that...
You got credit where credits do.
Tamara is such like an elite villain in the world of Bravo that she actually doesn't really
even need to go to the blogs to get her to like to get her way she just manipulates so well and she
she just she doesn't have to do these tactics and she never has had to do them so that definitely
like lends moves the needle more towards slade but i just felt like her behavior at the reunion just
felt so guilty so that moves the needle back for me i guess we'll never know and i'm sure she'll
be like it wasn't me and you know what the ambiguity is part of the fun of it um but
It is hilarious that Gretchen did the truly, like, of the offenses of leaking to, quote-unquote, bloggers, which, of course, there are no bloggers involved, versus, you know, liking homophobic, transphobic tweets, like Gretchen's transgression is, transgression is the worst, and it's offensive, and it's, like, really terrible, and yet it's Tamras that seems to be the thing that they really do all the roasting for.
So that's so real housewives.
Wow. Transgression really works.
I know. And it's also ironic.
On so many levels.
She had a transgression.
But a transgression implies that like she would normally she wouldn't do that, but she had a transgression.
And the sad thing is I think that she normally she would like those things, but she was caught.
Yeah.
Okay. Well, let's get into it tonight.
The reunion concludes.
So welcome back, everybody, from exotic locales such as Amsterdam to New Orleans, Heather Dubrow's penthouse, blah, blah, blah.
Okay, so this first thing is just fun.
We're doing mushrooms.
Heather Dubrow is a cool mom.
And she does mushrooms whenever she can.
I mean, the kids are gone, so why not?
Can I say something?
You know what image, I think, is most emblazoned into my brain from last weekend of Bravesant.
when we were we were backstage before our panel we got to go into the big um the backstage holding
area which is where they pretty much kept all the bravo leberties during the convention it was and it was
like the size of a massive lunch room and in fact there was just tables there was just this big long room
big big big big big big room and there are all these tables truly like lunch tables but there was this
big aisle and you had to walk all the way down that aisle to get to the buffet and we were walking up that
aisle. And I don't know if you saw this, Ronnie. Maybe you weren't with me. But Heather Debrough came strutting down that aisle like it was, you know, Paris Fashion Week. And she came right at us. And I think we were like talking with someone, because I would have said hi, of course. I've been like, Heather Debrough, Lady of Comedy. But I couldn't. But did you see her the way she walked? She strutted down that aisle like it was a runway. That was honestly one of the funniest images. And that's just what I think of was her with those her shoulders going back and forward.
like, you better work. Work it, girl. Television's Heather DeBrow. I may or may not be on
mushrooms. Cool mom. No, I didn't. I didn't see that because you tended to see the Bravo
liberties. I saw towards the end of the tunnel, which was cookies. That's all I saw. I was like,
how many of those can I have? What are those made out of? You know, I didn't really see anybody unless
we literally tripped over them. I know. Because I was concentrating on whatever calories were
surrounding me at the time.
Well, what was so alarming is, I mean, I, too, was looking at the cookies, and we finally
got the cookies, and then that's when Shane Simpson came right up to us.
And it's like, ah, Shane Simpson.
He's saying hello to us.
I'm just looking at the cookies.
Okay.
So we talk about how wacky everybody is with their space cakes and their mushrooms.
Everybody's really cool, guys.
And then we talk about how Katie didn't know the, she didn't know England was an island.
or, you know, what the Mississippi River was.
And so, you know, everybody admits that none of them know, you know.
And, you know, I admit that I'm not surprised.
But I also probably wouldn't know either.
I mean, I'm kind of a ding-tong with all that stuff.
So does anyone still have their painted dick from Amsterdam?
And Gretchen's like, no, I just have a broken dick, that's all.
And then he's like, wow, good one, Gretchen.
Hey.
Really, give you a special.
It was actually the only sign that we had that Andy just wants her out of there.
Because the rest of the time, he was like, all right, I'll tell the company line and rally behind Gretchen.
For this one, he just went, wow, good one, Gretchen.
Kind of looked back at his cards.
Gretchen and Jerry O'Connell should do like a special together where Jerry O'Connell could be like,
guys get their dicks broken.
Women break their face for facelifts, am I right?
everyone, God, men and women.
Women break their nails
and men break their dicks.
Isn't that funny?
There's a straight guy opinion
on Housewives.
Whoa, isn't it crazy? I'm a straight guy, but I'm talking about
women's stuff. Isn't that novel? Oh, my
God. All right. See you
on the next episode.
So then we talk about Heather
shooting the scene about her dad
in front, you know, pouring the
ashes into the canal.
which I still find kind of odd.
I mean, that's like, hey, dad, you lived here.
And then you pour his ashes into the gutter.
Love you, dad.
But I guess it kind of fit.
Yeah.
Goodbye, cocksucker.
So we talk about that and how touching it was.
And how many similarities she has with Emily once they really talked and realized, like, wow, our parents are both kind of monsters.
And I don't know.
I don't know what else they had in common.
but we both have sandwiches in our purse just kidding that's mace
normally i use the mace on emily simpson and people of the servant class but today we put
the mace aside and bonded i usually use the mace on carbs so i've got mace in my purse
in case emily decides to pull out any more tuna sandwiches it's time for a commercial it's time
for a crappence commercial.
Picture this.
You're standing on the beach
when you notice something strange.
The horizon doesn't look right.
At first, all you can see is a thin white line
stretching as far as your eyes can see.
Then the line starts to rise.
But it's not the horizon at all.
It's a wave, a 30-foot wall of water.
And it's racing straight toward you.
On the day after Christmas in 2004,
a 9.1 magnitude earthquake hit off,
the coast of Indonesia, triggering a devastating tsunami.
It struck Thailand without warning. No alarms, no cell phone alerts, no evacuation.

So Andy's like, ah, that's great, that's great.
Okay, well, the season ended on a dark and dramatic noke, to say the least,
I want to start with the emotional final dinner in Amsterdam,
where you all confronted Gretchen about her alleged, LOL, social media activity.
All right, we're getting right into it, everyone.
So now we're here at the, at the Gretchen, Gretchen liking, homophobic, and transphobic tweets.
So we see a whole clip of that.
your immediate excuse about liking these posts is to say,
hey, if I'd like something,
I probably didn't know what it was about
and that you weren't paying attention
to what you were liking.
What do you mean by that?
And are we supposed to believe this in 2025?
Go on.
I mean, that many posts.
You just like that many homophobic,
transphobic posts, really.
Accident, total accident.
So she's like, well, oh, go ahead.
I was going to say, I'm going to say,
this is not a defensive record.
This might sound like it at first, but it's not.
I have definitely been scrolling, and I'll see, like, a friend just post something, and I'll just, like, like, like, like, I won't even won't really watch the whole video because I just, I know they're happy with what they posted, and, like, it's like a, you know, like, look, it's their, it's their child, like, climbing on a thing, and I'll be like, like, I'm like, I'm not going to watch that, but I know, it's like, I want to support them.
So, you know, I've definitely blinded light.
And then you realize later, they're saying, like, oh, that was my child.
Thank God, he's trampling over trans rights.
Yes, go, child.
Oh, my God, what did I just like on accident?
The child's like, oh, the gay should go to hell.
And I'm like, like, like, like, but like, but like, like, but like, like, like, there is a difference, I think, between, you know, aimlessly sort of going to and just, you know, supporting versus when you see like an obvious meme that says stuff about, that's anti-gay.
Like, that's not something you blindly scroll by, okay?
So you can't really use the scroll by excuse.
If you see giant text that's obviously about that.
Like, you people, you know what's on those screens there.
You can't just act like you were just treating it.
You can't treat it the same way you treat content from your neighbor who's walking their dog down the street.
Right.
Yeah, exactly.
So she's like, well, I want to make it clear that there's absolutely no excuse for liking anything that has any sort of, like, offensive sentiment.
Okay, cinnamon.
And I also want to make it clear to every single one of you that I denounce anything that maybe seems homophobic or transphobic or anything like that.
Because I was just confused and I was shocked by what was being brought forward to me.
Oh, my God.
It's not cinnamon, okay?
It's sentiment.
But also...
Just fire her for that.
Can we just fire her for not being able to pronounce eh and pronouncing it i?
She's seasoning her excuse, the cinnamon.
I wouldn't ever post something with bad cinnamon.
Also, by the way, I think one thing that we haven't discussed is why also has Gretchen not been prepared for this?
Because the thread that is mentioned on this reunion quite a bit is a thread that came up in 2023.
It's been forward to us umpteen times.
I've seen it with my own eyes.
You've seen it with your own eyes.
It's really long and really huge.
I don't believe that someone went and doctored all those images.
I believe that those are, they are real.
And what I'm trying to say is someone surely has brought this thread to Gretchen's attention.
So even, so, and in fact, it's probably why she unfollowed all those things.
So why was she so, why, this, oh, I'm surprised.
Why are you so surprised when this is, this is clearly going around the internet?
It had to have been brought to her attention at some point.
Like, hey, Gretchen, you're liking all this stuff and everyone's mad at you right now.
What's your response to this?
Like, someone had to say it.
So, like, in my mind, I'm thinking, if you get confronted with this on the TV show,
normally it'd be like, you know what, I saw that and I was appalled by that.
And I unlike all those things because I was disgusted at my own behavior.
And I made me realize, like, I got to really, whatever excuse you're going to give,
like, how are you not ready with that?
But I think that in her mind, she was saying, oh, God, I didn't think this was ever going to be brought up on TV.
And how do I handle this?
She is ready for it.
I don't know what you're talking about.
She's extremely ready for it.
She came with a plan.
The plan was to act dumb and then blame Tamara for doctoring all these.
So blame Tamara.
Well, I guess that's what I'm saying.
She's just like, what?
I'm saying her excuses.
I didn't do anything.
I've scrolled around.
Maybe I liked a couple of things.
Oh, so you accidentally liked, we teach gender ideology in school, or it's
It's normal for half of free teen classrooms to be gender questioning, blah, blah, blah.
You accidentally like something that says this is the trans influencer who went viral for flashing at the White House a couple of weeks ago about the, I mean, all this shit, you just accidentally, you just accidentally like something on Matt Walsh blog that you follow and probably still follow.
I mean, come on.
No, but what I'm saying is that like she's saying, I was in such shock about these things.
It's like, you can't give that excuse because like this was, this is from 20.
23. Like, how could you, you can't say that you're in shock because, because it's been going
around. I'm just saying that she gave it. When she says, I'm just, I was in such shock. I didn't,
the reason why I didn't have a quick answer that I was so surprised by everything. It's like,
you were not surprised. This had to have come to your attention. Because she's lying.
She's a liar. So she does her whole things and her whole bullshit. And Andy's like, well,
did you recognize any of the posts that you saw that Tamara showed you? And she's like, uh-uh, no.
Mm-mm.
And Tamara's like, well, which one to be talking to that?
And Emily goes, the bleep one, which, I mean, that could have been any of them, friendly.
And Tamara's like, but you followed the account, Dale.
And she's like, well, I know that you said that I followed that account, but at the end of the day, you get nothing for nothing.
And, you know, I think we've all been guilty of scrolling mindlessly at night.
And maybe I saw something and I liked it, not really looking at the content.
Gretchen, it was like hundreds of, it's like multiple.
things, babe. It's not two things. Yeah, that's like me being like, oh, well, it was late at night.
I just like, you know, casually like some, you know, racist anti-black memes, but, you know,
it was late at night. It was like, what? No, it doesn't work that way. And for the record,
I did not do that. Um, so Heather's like, well, I get that. But when you have a good friend
that's sitting across from the table from you, who's so emotional and so invests.
did in this and really doesn't want this
to be true. I mean, I get it. You were
shocked. But what was surprising to
me is that the girls had
to say, go after Heather, follow
Heather. Okay, so you're not, you're more
upset that she didn't follow you
to comfort you than you are at the post.
Like, this is just, this whole episode
is fucking mind-boggling to me.
Yeah, it is, it is hilarious that
that's her takeaway, which is like,
I had to walk away from the table,
a celebrity who has been on Reba
McIntyre show. Bitch!
and you still didn't follow me.
That you saw a celebrity walking away
and you didn't even ask for their autograph.
If a celebrity falls in a far as in Amsterdam,
does it still get people wanting autographs?
A philosophical question for the ages.
If a celebrity falls down,
but nobody's there to hear it,
were they a celebrity at all?
Somebody check on Reba.
If a celebrity falls down and no one is there to hear it,
does that mean that they are just Wendy Malik?
Oh, so Gretchen's like, but I was legitimately like, wait, are they even serious about this?
And also, she seems completely benz-oed out, right?
She's like, yeah, I was like, are they even serious?
Like, who's saying this?
Because fundamentally, this is not what I believed or who I was.
Cinnamon.
And Tamara's like, wait, see, didn't know you were following all these head accounts.
Really?
And Heather's like, I mean, there were just so many.
And she's like, no, no, I didn't know.
I didn't know what.
You know, it wasn't just one.
If it was just one, I would have rolled my eyes.
You know, but the way it was presented to me.
Yeah, it was 200.
Get her.
Get her.
Yes, 200.
It's a lot.
It's a lot.
I mean, like, when it gets to be as many hate tweets as the number of auditions I have on a daily week,
you know, it's mind-boggling.
And Gretchen's like, yeah, well, no, I follow it a lot.
And Shannon's like, whoa, there were 200.
There were 200 on that feed?
Well, yeah, she followed.
She unfollowed over 200 accounts when she got back from Amsterdam.
Which also proves how stupid Gretchen is because, like you said,
she had been kind of in trouble for this off camera for so long,
and she didn't unfollow until she got home from Amsterdam.
She's like, she didn't bother unfollow until she was like,
oh, I guess they're going to call me out on this on TV.
Yeah.
So Shannon's like, well, but how do you know they're all, you know that they're all hate accounts?
Yes, I know.
And Jen's like, but you know what?
You know what?
You know what?
I thought, wow, I really need to pay attention.
I mean, who do I even follow?
Who do I follow?
Yeah, I mean, I need to pay attention too.
I had to make sure that I wasn't following someone with anti-Asian shit on their thing.
But I didn't follow Jen, so I was safe.
I love how Jen's take away from every single season of Real House House of Orange County is...
You know, I realized looking back at the season, I just have to pay more attention, you know?
When I learned that I didn't have any money to my name, I just realized I got to pay more attention.
When I realized that, like, Ryan had been sending dick pics to other girls, I just realized I got to pay more attention.
Girl.
It's like the ultimate thing for Jen to say.
Wow, you know what I learned?
I really need to pay more attention.
Thank you so much for your antitransposts.
Thank you so much.
You really taught me something.
God, we all learned a lesson here today.
You know what?
Let's all lift Gretchen up above our shoulders.
All I really want to do is learn in this life.
Thank you, Gretchen.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Good old Jen.
Always learning.
I mean, listen, I gravely apologize if I like something that was offensive or had
offensive sentiment in it.
But I will say that the one post that was brought forward, it was very upsetting to me.
It was very suspect to me.
It doesn't align with who I am.
It's like, you are you, Gretchen.
I'm someone who doesn't believe in gay rights.
I mean, I'm someone who believes in gay rights.
So Tamara's like, but then why would you follow people like that?
You know, all this guy does is post stuff like that.
And she's like, well, right, but I took steps to go and look at who I was following
because I had like 4,500 accounts or something I was following.
you know so like maybe that's my mistake i followed too many accounts and like maybe i didn't know
what they were posting because you know i follow left wing accounts i follow right wing accounts
and like back in 2020 when the election was going on that's why i followed those accounts
yeah that's when you followed like the you know there was far right like the extremely far right
hateful accounts like what is how is that an excuse it's like well it was political season listen
I was just hating on gays and trans people
It was the political season
I was just caught up in it
I was caught up in it
You know
And he's like well it is a free country by the way
And you can follow the right wing accounts
You can follow whoever you want
And maybe you should follow the accounts
At BravoTV.com
All right and I'll throw in that
Okay so Gretchen tell me more
So Gretchen's like
True and I will say it was a good lesson
For me to learn
And so I went and I rectified
And I went and looked at a lot of accounts
I was following and I was like, I do not stand for this and I am not going to follow accounts
that have this type of rhetoric. And I don't know why I initially. Rhetoric. Do you say rhetoric too?
Did I make you say rhetoric? Because I've always pronounced it that way. That is my bad and I'm
sorry for brainwashing you. Well, I can just hide behind the fact that I was doing a Gretchen
impersonation. It definitely was not Ben Mandelker pronouncing it that way. Definitely not at all.
That's how I pronounce it. You know what's really terrible? For some reason, somewhere in the past three
years, I cannot stop saying apropos as
apropos. And that's not correct.
A hundred percent. And I don't know where that
came from. That's good.
Apropo. Apropo of dumping.
However, apropo
rhetoric. Oh, no. I said rhetoric right.
This is the best part.
And I interrupted you. So go for it.
Let me get a running start. And what I
was going to say, because it's a really salient point.
Okay. I'm not going to follow accounts that I have this
type of rhetoric. I don't
know. Initially, I
followed it, but maybe they had a post
about God. Maybe they had a post
about something. Tamara's
I don't know. I can't tell you why because it's a lot of
accounts and the reason why I followed something
and didn't follow something, I don't know.
I'm just a girl.
I just follow things that
say nice things about God.
I don't know why people are upset with me.
I was just following nice
posts about God.
Oh, you're just such a fucking good
person, Gretchen. I love it.
I'm so sorry, guys.
I liked all these hateful posts because I love God.
So sorry.
Sorry you misunderstood that.
And he's like, all right, let me help you out because you seems to be just suing all the wrong things.
By the way, if you're willing, if you're following 4,500 accounts, it stands to reason that you're not seeing when most of these accounts are posting on a daily basis.
There you go.
It's a freebie, Gretchen.
Run with that.
What the fuck is this guy doing?
This is so annoying.
You know, this is really disappointing coming from.
him and Heather everybody else I could kind of understand you know because I don't doubt that they're
not following a lot of these same accounts but Andy and Heather are really killing me like you know
what Andy I get you're a host and you don't I'm not expecting him to necessarily attack her and be
like you fucking homophobe what the fuck were we thinking or anything like that I'm not expecting
that okay I'm not a crazy person but at least don't stand there and help her out like yeah you
probably didn't see him because you just follow so many accounts like come on
Sit down. Just sit this one out. Please. Jesus. She doesn't need any more help. Can I say something to you as long as Ron Del Carum is acting like I am not an ally anymore? Can I say something that will absolutely not let Gretchen off the hook? I've known you a very long time. And all those times, you've never gotten a role on Malibu country. So I think when you initially said that that was a lie. But other than that, I think 14 years, you have never been anything but kind to me and my family. And I never
believed that you were that kind of person. But I have people that I have had in my life for a
very long time that I thought were that way and found out some very disturbing things that go
against my family and my children specifically and everything I believe in and that it has
shattered me. And I will tell you that what I've heard over the years, rumblings of this kind
of rhetoric from you in different communities that I've always chosen to ignore. But when I saw all
those posts and saw that you like them.
This is what worries me,
Gretchen Rossi, when you follow a
multitude of hate mongers.
What you are going to see in your
page is hate.
Okay. I mean, nice
monologue, but you basically just
said, you just took a very long road
to say, yeah, I've known for a long time you were like this,
but you've always been nice to me. So
stop following, stop liking shit so you
don't get caught. That's what it sounds like to me.
So Emily's like, well, she's saying like,
you know, like ours, like dogs.
That's what we get on ours,
because that's who we follow dog accounts.
Well, I'm saying this.
Your's, Emily, yours is animals, Gina,
yours is windex and other things that the maids need,
et cetera, to clean my house.
And I don't know.
I'm assuming that Katie,
I don't know what she sees,
maybe just lies.
And I see, I don't know, I see,
trips to Venice
etc but Gretchen you see hate
you see hate
well my page my page
is all fitness and possums
falling in love and possums
garden trash cans and stuff like that
I mean it shows
what you follow and Andy's like
well mine's guys I like twinks
and housewives and like Diana Ross
was pretty much the occasional
Charo post
and others like yeah I have Kate decorating
and folding, okay?
And also, how to fire a butler.
Oh, God, I love those videos.
I love the Heather Follows folding videos.
I want to make fun of that,
but I too have seen my fair share of folding videos
because I'm such a bad folder.
I really am.
You know, I'm just...
One of the...
You're a bad folder? Go ahead.
No, I don't have anything to add to it.
I'm just a bad folder, sorry.
You need to watch more videos.
I have all of my staff watching them.
And then I have videos of people trying to get past gates they don't have coast to and being electrocuted.
It's hilarious.
Oh, you know what I love?
I love those videos of a dad coming home from the military and surprising their child.
And then their boss gives them bowls to bring Zinobu.
Oh, so heartwarming.
But Heather, you've got to understand that was a small percentage of all the accounts I follow.
There were a lot of posts, ma'am.
There were lots and lots of posts
And Tamara's like, well, the last few days
You've been unlocking problematic posts, huh?
Huh?
She goes, no, uh-uh, I told you guys.
And Emily's like, wait, how do you know what she unlikes and likes?
How does the internet work?
You can see if people like things that if they unlike them, that is crazy.
And Gretchen's like, yeah, that's a word.
And Tamara's like, well, because I printed out two days ago
all the posts that she still had likes on.
And all but this one, making fun of dealing about
Being on the Bud Light can
That's the only one that she's still liked by you, Gretchen
Well, Gretchen still left that one up
She's still left that one up
That's the one that Heather probably hates the most
Because she's friends with Dylan
Yeah, I mean, Gretchen's like
That's where she draws the line
She's like, I can't fake it anymore
I have to stand up for Bud Light
I can't have Dylan Mulvaney
Drinking Bud Light God forbid
Andy's like
Andy's like but wait
Isn't that a good thing
Like shouldn't she have unlike them?
wasn't that the right thing to do?
Andy, you're fucking killing me here.
The point is she's deleting them
because it's the reunion
and she doesn't want to be caught.
Right, not because she
had a change of heart.
And Shannon just turns to Gretchen's like,
you didn't unlike the Dylan Mulvianney one?
She goes, no, I did?
She goes, wait, did you unfollow
or did you unlike?
She was both.
She was like, I can't follow this anymore.
This is too complicated for me.
Sorry.
So Tamara's like...
Oh, God.
So Tamara printed out all this stuff.
And Andy's like,
Okay, well, so she just went through and she unfod a bunch of things.
Well, I appreciate the accountability.
And it was a good lesson for me, which is, if you have a reunion coming up, always unfollow the hate memes that you liked.
That way you can like them again later.
What was the accountability, Heather?
The whole I didn't mean to, and I just scrolled things that I had no idea what they were and liked hundreds of posts.
And these are deep fakes.
How was that accountability?
It's this cat?
They're losing their minds on this cast.
I mean, listen, I'm not going to say that Housewives' audiences are always the brightest, okay?
But come on.
Are we really this stupid?
I will say, this is what it really strikes me as, in all honesty.
It strikes me as Heather, I think, really likes Gretchen.
And I think she, Heather is looking for mental workarounds so that way she can still,
she can still be friends with Gretchen
because I think it's too devastating
I guess it's almost too devastating for her
to like to face this
that's what I really think is what's going on with Heather
because I don't I'm actually surprised too
I think it's really bad
I mean it's your children here and it's what you stand for
it's like you just did an event in Wiiho during the season
you have Dylan on your show
and the fact that she's sort of like
looking for mental workarounds
it's to me it says that this is someone
I think she's just having a really hard time reconciling the Gretchen that she thinks of, that she really adores versus the Gretchen that is really sitting here.
And I don't think she's really out of place yet where she can, she's able to, to kind of like deal with that.
I think that's very giving and kind of you to think that.
I obviously disagree.
I think that she's doing this because she thinks this is too dark.
And honestly, you're talking about a lot of people in the country that feel like Gretchen feel, right?
So there's not, this is not something crazy that Gretchen's, these posts that Gretchen liked, these are not something that all of us are unfamiliar with.
We see it.
As gay people, we see it all the time.
We've heard it our whole fucking lives.
And now it's kind of in vogue again to have these kinds of hateful thoughts to the point where they're not even hateful at all.
They're just normal.
And now you're just expected to stand by and listen to this shit every fucking day of your life as the racist and the homophob take over.
And that's just how it is.
Bigots are kind of taking over right now.
They're very in fashion and they're all patting themselves on the back.
And if you go against it, they will try and cancel your ass.
And that's just how it is.
And I think that Heather is not wanting to get into that.
She doesn't want to have to listen, half that Bravo audience at least is going to, I already saw a lot of the comments they were leaving on Heather's.
Heather's Instagram
after the Amsterdam thing
when they were blaming them all for getting on
Heather. I'm sorry. They were blaming them
all for going after Gretchen without
finding out that these posts were true.
People are like they weren't true and you guys are going
after Gretchen. You're being mean and
nah, nah, nah, nah, and calling Heather's kids, all sorts of
names. And I think that she's like
I don't want to tangle
with that side of the country right now.
It's not worth it to me.
And that is half our audience.
And I don't want to hear it. And I think
that that's where she's coming from. And I don't know that I really blame her.
I think it could be a mix. It is pretty disappointing if you're going to make your whole
storyline about standing up for what's right. And then you don't stand up for what's right
because it's too hard, you know? I think it could be a mix. I think there could be a genuine
concern about that because it really is an issue. People are losing their jobs, you know,
and they're losing a whole lot more. Because of bigots. Well, their rights.
obviously yes, but like for people just for saying certain things, you know, when when there's like
definitely like some bigoted mindset out there in the country. So there could, it could be somewhat
fear base, but you know, and I'm not saying this as an excuse, but like in terms of like how
can someone be so strident about certain stances, but then seems to be kind of almost looking for,
like when she says, well, at least you were accountable. It's like she's looking for a way that
she can justify maintaining some sort of like friendly relationship with, with,
Gretchen and that's why I'm saying like I you know I think we all know we've we've
all had people in our lives who are you know they are on different ends of the political
spectrum and they do things that you're like that's you say that's problematic to me you know
but they stay in your lives because there's enough history and you know you feel like you know
who they are as a person and you know like you're like on one hand you're like I should
I should drop this person as a friend I really should because I'm actually like offended by them
but somehow they stay in your life in some weird way and we all know it's like you know
there's family members sometimes that can happen luckily luckily none of my immediate family
members have that I have no issue with that and I think that's what's happening with Gretchen
with with with Heather is that she's trying to deal with the fact that she's had this
long friendship with Gretchen that she's really enjoyed it and I think that like she's I think
she's just trying to to figure out a way but I think for us
as outsiders to their friendship, it's like, how can you stand for these things? How could you
have an event in West Hollywood? How could you have these radio shows and you have these children
that you advocate for? And that's all really wonderful that you do that. But how can you do that?
And sort of be oddly forgiving to Gretchen. And that's really a hard pill to swill to swallow.
I mean, it's not even forgiving it. It's not even forgiving it because Gretchen's not apologizing
for anything. She's just playing dumb and saying she never did any of that. And has
knows that that's bullshit. She knows she is. She knows she's a huge Trumpy. She's posting online
with her hats and her this and her that and her anti-vax shit and all of this. Heather knows
exactly who that is. And as far as people that we deal with in our own lives, of course. I mean,
I talk about it all the time. I come from a very religious conservative family. I have these
arguments all the time with people very close to me that I'm not dumping. But I am telling to
fuck off every time we have those conversations. And I am trying to explain the other side.
to them. But when it comes to a friend, no, I'm not going to listen to this shit. Absolutely not. When it comes to my family, you don't choose your family. You make that work. But when it comes to friends and people I have in my life, there's absolutely no fucking way. And I think that a lot of this is just producer. I think production didn't want them to bring this stuff up in the first place. It's a huge can of worms. It's a huge mess, which they could have avoided by not bringing Gretchen back in the first place when you know all those posts are out there, you ding-dongs. But instead, they're just going to pretend like, let's just whitewash.
let's just get over it and let's just turn this into a fun fight against tamra and i think it's
disgusting and heather is a part of it so sorry she's she's she's she's just as bad in my eyes and i
hate saying it but you know that's what i see so fuck her too i would have liked her i would
have liked her to have to have been stronger against gretchen it was a little surprising that she was
she was
um her vibe was more like i'm just disappointed i'm not i'm not upset i'm just disappointed
and i would have liked her to be more like gretchen i don't care what you say you like these
things this is offensive to my family and i was i really expected a lot more from you and i
felt like we didn't i mean we got that on the episode on the episode itself uh in amsterdam
but um it was surprising that she was sort of soft on gretchen i
thought as well. Well, I'm Andy, too, coming up with excuses and being like, oh, no, but she did
unfollow people. Isn't that the right thing to do? She's doing great, guys. It's really, it's
just, it's a mind fuck watching this, honestly. Commercials. Here comes one right now.
So, Jen, uh, Gretton's like, it was a lesson. I don't subscribe to it and I don't
align with it. You subscribe to all of them and you align with all of those.
accounts. So whatever. I would, you know what, I would rather Gretchen just say, listen, these are my
opinions. And I'm sorry you don't like them, but I have a different political idea than all of you.
And I think, you know, my right is a one, whatever the arguments are for the anti-trans stuff or the
anti-gay stuff, the religious arguments against anti-gay stuff, all of this that we're seeing
every day, every one of us is seeing this every day. I wish she would just have stood up for it and said,
this is what I think and I'm sorry that you guys don't agree with it, but it's nothing personal against you. These are my beliefs. I still wouldn't agree with it and I still be yelling and screaming and pissed off over here. But at least you would have some nuts. I mean, grow some heels. You know what I mean? Be a real fucking person. If that's what you believe, then that's what you believe. Just like I believe what I believe and I'm ready for all the comments that are going to come at me and call me a reverse bigot and everything else that I hear whenever I go off like this from religious nuts, I'm willing to take it. So fucking take it.
If you have an opinion, then be willing to stand up and stand up for your opinion, you know.
But this whole, I'm going to do it and then just pretend I'm too stupid to understand what I did.
And I'm the real victim here because you guys are calling me out.
I mean, that's what we're hearing all the time now.
If you call out bigotry, we're the bigots.
Because how dare you?
Oh, I thought you were the accepting ones, huh?
Yeah.
But you don't accept my bigotry?
You know, that's exactly what we're seeing here.
And to see the gay person and the person who supposedly supports gay people bending to that is
just gross. Like, I don't, I don't know. I don't know what else to say. Yeah. No, it's upsetting. It's
so upsetting. It's so upsetting. I forget by it to give me a grammar. By the way, if you try to rob my
house, I'm going to shoot you. That was in the headlines today. Maricio threatening to kill people
if they could do. I'm glad that that's like now, I guess, the discourse that's happening in
public these days. I guess it's the top-down effect. Just to lighten it up a little bit. Thanks,
Maricio. Yeah. I actually also, I mean, I know we're
trying to move on from this. I also do think that there is a part, like what you touched on it,
which is that, like, probably Heather just wants to move forward with this. I think it's an
uncomfortable situation for her. There's someone that's a friend of hers, but the friend is
also hateful, and it's just like she doesn't want to, I think, deal with this right now on the
reunion. It is more fun. It's more entertaining for the whole audience to talk about, like, you know,
grilling Tamara about you know who who leaked what you know and so she's probably putting a nice
little like well at least you took accountability you know showing that she's the reasonable one
and you know like let's move let's move on also there's this like i also do think that there is
this pressure on on us to you know that people who are more left lean left have been sort of put in this
put this label that we're like this totally irrational, left-leaning, you know,
mob who doesn't listen to reason, who doesn't listen to the other side.
And that's always been our problem is that we're in our ivory towers and we don't
understand the real world.
So there is this like pressure to be like, okay, I hear what you're saying.
I hear what you're saying.
And I wonder if that is something that Heather is also catering to,
is like you did something really hateful and I will give you some okay you did took some
accountability so I will I will grant you that but you know and so you know that's also
frustrating that like you know we have to do that all the time because we've been accused
of being totally you know not let we've been accused of not listening to the other side
but the truth is I think like when you've been if someone is saying hey like I'm going to
like this, I'm going to like this meme that goes out to 100,000 people that advocates for someone's
rights to be taken away and advocates for someone to be viewed as lesser than and then could lead
to some to violence against a person could lead to me for it to be less safe for me to walk
around on a street without getting punched in the face or even who knows what like I think
you're allowed to say that's offensive to me without having to worry about like but I understand
what you're saying like I don't know why we have to couch things when
it comes to, like, rights.
Yeah, well, that's what this whole fucking thing is.
It's like, let's just ignore it.
So, Jen, now we get Jen spin.
Okay, Jen, who acts like the biggest dummy in the world, comes with her spin to help out Gretchen.
So she's like, well, but the post came from somewhere, right?
So if you're telling us it wasn't you, then where did it come from?
And Tamara's like, wait, the posts were real.
And Gretchen's like, wait, you mean the original post?
And Jen's like, yeah, I mean, where did that come from?
Huh?
Go ahead.
Blame Tamara.
That's what I'm setting you up to do right now.
And Gretchen's like, well,
Well, that is a question.
So when I went home, I hired a cyber analysis company.
And you, Heather, said to me, I need you to prove to me it's not true.
So I did.
I spent thousands of dollars.
You should have sent that to that mother who still needs a child support that Slate hasn't paid.
Getting a cyber analysis done on these posts.
And you can see, it's a 25-page report.
The most egregious post.
is a fabricated fake post.
Oh, God.
Okay.
Okay, Gretchen.
So what about the other 199 ones?
Even if we believe you, which I don't for one second.
And did they show which is the most egregious post?
They didn't, right?
They didn't.
But I am wondering between the lie detector and this cyber analysis firm,
I am wondering what's going on in Orange County with these online experts.
So Andy's like, well, it's important to note that at the time, he's reading it now,
at the time of our initial investigation, the most egregious and offensive boats did not exist anywhere online.
Our system detected it may be a combination of AI and some other image editing software.
And the software is called technological and malevolent ratio antagonism, also known as Tamara.
Whoa, what other thought?
We've been using software that's called, if you're going to,
I use me at least give me a taco.
And it found that these posts are fake.
And Tamara's like, wait, did we even have a high three years ago?
I mean, come on.
And Andy's like, okay, leading to the conclusion that it's a manufactured post and could not
be authenticated.
Tamara's like, okay.
Well, it's probably a post of Instagram removed because it had the word, the F word in
there.
And so Gretchen's like, well, this third party cyber analysis company continued to do a lot
research on a lot of accounts that unfortunately were tied to Tamara.
Was this third-party cyber analysis company, the Liberace Foundation by any chance?
Exactly, exactly.
They continue to do a lot of research on a lot of accounts that unfortunately were tied to Tamara.
So are you saying that Tamara was the, Tamara was the honeypot?
Like she was coming up with far right, horrible, like gay people or pedophiles.
she was coming up with all these posts to like trick you into liking them so then she could use those later because you've already admitted that you had to go and follow 200 accounts and unlike all of these things like we've already got that into evidence right where gretchen has basically said yeah and he said she's doing the right thing by deleting all of these likes but now you're saying that these posts are faked so which is it
Were they fake posts
Or were you tricked into liking the posts
This makes no sense
I wasn't really
I think she was trying to say like
No I'm not the
Like I'm not the one who likes hate accounts
Actually the hate accounts
It's Tamara who's actually connected to them
So Tamara's like
Oh my God I would sue you fuck your ass
And Gina's like
What does that even mean?
I feel man I can't follow
And Gretchen's like
Okay then sue my ass
Now I have nothing to do this nothing
So Andy's like
Well how did you find that post
How did you find this?
And Tamara's like, it's been cycling around social media for a long time, bitch.
And it really has.
Like, Tamara is not lying about this.
It is, I mean, again, the number of people that have sent it to us, it's staggering.
It's for years.
It's been four years.
And it hasn't only been during this season.
It's been a long, long time that Gretchen's been doing this shit.
And everybody knows it, including Andy, by the way.
So what?
Where did this post come from?
How did you even find it?
And Tamara's like, well, it's been cycling.
It's been around.
And Gretchen says it's not.
And Shannon's like, well, you said, it came from two teeth in the pod.
No, no, she didn't.
She said that it was a headline on two T's and a, it was a headline that IHeart sent them because it was going viral this season.
But that post was from 2023.
The one that compiled all of this stuff that they're talking about is from 2023.
Yeah, I think that also, I think the mentality is, like, again, a lot of Bravo stars, a large chunk of them are conservative right wing.
And a lot of them have gone and liked problematic posts.
I mean, Corey Kiefer was up there liking anti-trans posts a few years ago that we caught that.
We flag that.
It's, you know, it's, and so I think the mindset is like, okay, we're casting people on these shows.
They're from all different backgrounds.
And really these shows are to show how different people from different backgrounds interact in many ways.
And, you know, that, and like, and the byproduct of that is that some of these people like really problematic things.
And I think they're like, okay, that's that.
But I think with Gretchen, though, it was really like, it was a lot of it.
And I think that the volume of it is what has been so shocking.
You know, it's just been, it's like, it's.
Well, it's also not just like a Republican thing.
It's liking hateful, very far right things, right?
Extremist things.
And I think also your point about a lot of these people, I mean, especially on Orange County.
This is Orange County we're talking about.
Yeah. These are the women of Orange County. So a lot of them, I think, are like, well, don't come after me. Like, shit, are they going to come through mine, too? Especially you've got Emily up there. You think she doesn't have a lot of Trumpy shit going on over there. She was reposting that, like, all those Save the Children, you know, QAnon posts a few years ago, too. So it's like they could all be caught. So I think they're probably doing like, okay, let's have an emergency session here and just save us all from this.
Yeah. I think between Orange County and Orange County and Utah and New Jersey, Southern Charm. I mean, obviously, there's a lot of, you know, right wing, right leaning, you know, people on Bravo. McBee Dynasty, uh, hello. Yeah. But so it's, and the thing is that I don't think that either of us are offended by the mere presence of someone who's conservative or right wing. I mean, like, you know, it's like we're, we're here to see people.
people of different backgrounds.
But I think it's the fact that Gretchen, she, she liked so many of these, as you said,
far right-wing things that were really hateful and are about, you know, depriving people
of their rights just to exist as a human.
And that, and I forgot what the rest I was going to say, but I think you guys can know.
I don't even have to explain that.
Well, there's a difference between having a disagreement with someone politically.
So it's not like saying, oh, fuck all Republicans, blah, blah, blah.
It's not that.
I mean, people are going to have different, you're going to meet people in life with different points of view.
And you have to fucking suck it up and you're still going to have to interact with people.
It's not that.
These are far right hateful, bigoted posts.
And if people are saying, well, that's just, you're just disagreeing with me politically.
It's like, oh, okay.
So that whole side now is completely racist and bigoted.
I mean, okay, if you want to take that title, that's fine.
But yeah, I think, you know, it needs to be a distinction.
It's not like we're not talking about tax policies here.
You know? Right. So anyway, so now they're arguing about where these posts came from. So Shannon's saying, you said it came from your podcast. And Tamara's like, well, let me finish. And Gretchen says, no, it was just one Twitter feed. And Tamara says, okay, well, two years ago, because it was tweeted. So Gretchen's like, wait, two years ago. And she goes, well, I don't know. I can look up on my phone if you want the exact date that she retweeted it. And she's like, no, but you said on that thing it was a year ago. Now you're saying two years ago. Oh, so you haven't seen the post either?
Gretchen, it was posted in 2023
and it was a compilation of your
post that went back years and years.
Yeah. Okay? So now they're
trying to get her on the specific date. Tamara
first saw it to get her.
And Gretchen's like, well, you were the only person
that knew anything. No. And
she's like, I wasn't the only person. It's been
all over Reddit. It's been all over the entire
internet. Right. And
Gretchen's like. And Gina, I really like you,
but it really was frustrating to be
because I had someone call me and say
that you and her were plotting. And
planning together. Oh, yeah, I know.
And like, but you saw, you saw what
you saw, Gretchen, and the reality is
she brought it up to me.
I feel, man.
Gina doesn't plot.
Yeah, right. Tamera.
Gina and Emily saying, oh, yeah, we never plot.
Okay. Then how do you explain having
all of this information two weeks before
you even brought it up? Isn't that a form
of plotting? Well, let me
ask you this, Tamara. Why? After
you made up with her several times, did you bring
it up at the end? Tamma's like,
Well, when did I forget up, Andy?
He said, in Amsterdam.
No, I didn't.
I brought it up the night out there and say what after me.
Which is true.
Tamara, Tamara told Gina this after that, like, country, whatever, whatever that thing was
that they did, that event.
And so she told Gina in Orange County, and then Gina just sat on it and decided to wait
until the big trip, which is also pretty shitty of Gina.
Let's also, you know, like, she's like, oh, I don't be it.
And this was like weighing on me.
I was like, really?
So you waited?
Until it was a group scene.
Two weeks later.
so and also you waited until right after that they had made right after they made up so now you're going to destroy their their this friendship that not friendship but like this fragile truce that you claim that you want so badly exactly but i don't plot so um andy's like okay but you said you resolved everything with her and then you two pointing to Tamara and Gina had talked about bringing it up and Heather's like so why didn't you tell Gina to squash it and Tamara's like yeah you know anytime I bring anything up it's like oh
God, here Tamara goes.
Here she comes with some poison.
And Emily's like, but you did bring it off.
And I'm saying what doesn't make sense to me is that you've had this for a long time.
That is true.
That's a good point.
But it's also a good point that you knew for two weeks, too, Emily.
You knew as well as Gina, and you also didn't do anything.
So I think it does go to show that Tamara, you know, has just been sitting on this and waiting until she could use it to her advantage.
This entire reunion is, too, Emily.
This is like that Spider-Man meme where they're all.
pointing at each other, all the Spider-Man.
They're all pointing like, but you, but you, but you.
So, Andy's like, okay, so you said you knew about it for two years.
And Tim was like, yeah, well, I found about it two fucking years ago, and I never thought
about it again until recently when you can't let the show.
And Cameron's like, oh, no, that's bullshit.
Yeah, you want to figure out how to weaponize it against me and harm me and hurt me.
That's what you did.
You used it against me.
You used me like a hate tweet against me.
So, Tamara's like, why did I bring it up the first day then, bitch?
I don't know, Tamara.
Well, I'll say why you didn't bring it up, which is because you didn't think yet to
that was the nuclear option.
And you're like, I'm not going to do the nuclear option on the first day, right?
Because we have a whole season, you know?
Right.
We need this for, we need a finale.
But I also think production was like, we're not bringing this up.
Because everybody in production knew that this was going on.
And I think they were like, we're bringing Gretchen back.
We just want to bring her back for the old fun of fighting with Tamara.
But we don't want to bring all this stuff onto the show.
So don't do it.
And now I think it makes them look all like assholes that they do.
didn't bring it up, but they are kind of assholes from not bringing it up, because this is crazy.
Well, I don't think that it was even supposed to be, I don't think that Tamara's like, I'm going to
save this for the finale. I think that Tamara got to a breaking point because Tamara now has this
narrative that Gretchen's been coming after her for 15 years. The truth is it was Tamara, who's always
going after Gretchen. But she was just, I think she was so fed up and she just decided, you know what,
I am doing the nuclear option. I don't care. But if I do the nuclear option, people won't really
believe it. It won't have the same gravitas because I've used up all my credibility because
I'm in this endless feud. So let me give it to some dumb dumb to do it for me. Gina, get over here.
Yeah, exactly. Because Gina is the person who would walk into the Oval Office and be like,
oh my God, look at that nice red button. Oh my God. Oh, my God. I just sent off a bunch of nuclear
weapons. I feel mad. I feel bad. The cold. It turns out the code was I feel bad. I feel
be it. I feel bad. I feel bad. I'll have to do us enter that into the football. Sorry.
So Jean is like, well, I think she brought it up in retaliation.
Tamara says, well, why is that changing that you're a homophobic bitch?
Uh-uh.
Nah, uh-uh, I'm not.
You know, and I just went to a gay bar this year.
Yes, you are.
You are so gross.
Yeah, but then you, but when you say tied to Tamara, what does that mean, though?
What does that mean that these tweets were tied to Tamara?
Like, she made it up.
Is that what that means?
No, that's not what I said.
There's a Twitter feed that Tamara happened to have.
on her phone that night and she was like
look at this and that Twitter feed
that was the only feed it was on
that has not been anywhere else but on your
Twitter feed
and she's like
Grudson it's all overfilled it bitch
it's all over a minute
she goes oh well now it is because you started
putting it everywhere
no no that's a lie
you're a fucking die
you're not
do you know how many DMs that people have sent
me that you're the one that's out putting
that into the press.
Girl, so now you have...
So you're getting a lot of
stuff from bloggers saying that
Tambrose is the one telling them. Why are they communicating
with you so much? Miss Lady
who never talks to bloggers.
And she's like, do you know how many people are saying that?
Oh my God, can someone just buy this woman a G?
For Christ's sake.
I'd like to buy a consonant.
She can't even do it right.
She can't even feel of fortune.
She was, like, paying the wheel.
It's like, you don't have to buy the consonants.
I'd like to, anyway.
She's like, I'd like to sound the puzzle.
Trans people.
We're going to stop you right there.
The first word is pants, not trans.
I would like to pay for G because that's the gay and the LGBTQ whatever, and I support them.
I would like to donate money for a G.
Can I say one more thing to Gretchen?
Because, like, I really want to say this to you.
In hindsight, was this something that I felt I needed to bring up?
Yeah.
Because it was something that was brought to me, and it was, like, a little disturbing to me.
And I wish I had brought it up to you, not at, like, a dinner table.
So I guess what I guess what I'm trying to say is I feel, I don't know.
It's like, it's not so much remorse.
It's not so much, like, it's not so much sadness.
It's like, I guess you could just say, I feel me, ma'am.
I meal me.
So now not only are they going to let them, let her off, they're going to apologize to her.
I'm sorry, I am embarrassed you.
If this isn't fucking dark enough.
Yeah, I'm so sorry I brought up your hate posted dinner.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry that when you, you know, liked all these things that advocated for the removal of rights for a segment of the population, that I approached it in a way that made you feel uncomfortable.
I apologize.
Unbelievable.
And Gina's like, yeah, I'm sorry for doing that at dinner.
I was like, thank you.
I appreciate it because I didn't think, I thought you and I had a good enough relationship that you could talk to me.
And if you knew like a couple weeks or maybe a month before, I wish you'd brought to me because I feel so blindsided and ambushed.
And I'm sorry for that.
You know why?
Because I feel glad.
Just kidding.
It's opposite.
I feel me yet.
Wait, did you mean glad G-L-A-D?
I don't even know what that means.
