• 1:19
  Speaker 1: be a rain drop because not only does she comment well.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Not does she did it once? In all fairness, So
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: there's this Instagram page, it's called Housewise. Let me make
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: sure because I want to you know, I'm a journalist. Hey, Portchos.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: I like to cite my sources.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: The IG page is called Housewives from a Housewife Okay,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: and they always post my clips.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Shout out to that page.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: And a clip that they posted from my show with Claudia,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Dustin and Blue. Rihannna responded to it and let the
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: com when Dustin Ross was going off on Andre Mastic
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: from Potomac. So Rihanna not only is a rain draw baby,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: she also is a fan, of course, of all reality TV.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: So with that being said, Amanda Francis from Beverly Hills.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Who you know I had on my show and you
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: know I am an Amanda Francis stan I bought her
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: book rich A's Fucked a couple of years ago.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: I read it and I think she's great.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: She was on my podcast and all of you guys
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: said like, oh my gosh, we like her now.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: So Rihanna.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: DMed Amanda. Yes you heard that right, she DMed Amanda
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: because a couple of weeks ago, a threads said unpopular opinion,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: maybe Amanda one hundred percent deserves a second season.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Amanda commented, why would I want to do that again?
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: Question mark.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: I believe Amanda was joking. I think Amanda's coming back
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: for sure. And I don't see Amanda saying no to
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: this personal opinion. She's not saying no to this. Amanda
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: manifested this opportunity, she did well in the end, and
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: she's emerged.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: As from the fan favorites.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: So all of that being said, I don't see her
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: not returning because she has no reason not to. But
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Rianna got word and she responded to it by dming Amanda.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: And Rihanna's exact words were no, no, nope, no quitting.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: You're gonna have your redemption. I promise you. We need
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: more you. Carlos King, you are mindicated. Carlos King, you
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: are mindicated. Once again, the eye got that you are.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: The girls tried to say you lost to Carlos when
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: you went up for mea Thornton, and.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: She was not asked back a few years after that.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Okay, but all of that being said, it does appear
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: that Rihanna to sees the magic that is Amanda Francis
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: and that makes me so happy. It really does, because
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Amanda deserves it. She really is like amazing.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: She really is. See like dogs think she's so amazing,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: they're barking too rody and Gadva got excited at the
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: thought of.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Amanda hints them barking. Okay, so all of that that
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: being said, it's so dope.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: It's so dope.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: It's so dope, and listen, it goes to show you
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: that it doesn't matter how you start, it matters how
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: you finish. And you can't believe the meat tweets you
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: receive because Amanda had emerge as the fan favorite.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: But the gag is it did not start off that way.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: It didn't. It didn't. She was somebody that all of
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: you guys felt wasn't great, and look, she actually is.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: She's fantastic. She's great, and she does deserve a second season.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: And like I said, I think she's gonna get another season.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Anthy Cohmen likes her.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: You could tell when she was on Washington Happens Live
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: and at the reunion.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: You can tell he likes her.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: And the moment she said during the reunion, I mean, guys,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: this is my package.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: That's still the deal.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: And in case you missed it, catch my interview with
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Amanda Francis on my YouTube channel or on the audio
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: podcast that you guys are listening to. It's a fantastic conversation.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: It really is, and I'm just happy that she is
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: somebody who understands the assignment and the fact that Brianna,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: who watches a lot of reality shows, also sees.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: The gym and Amanda.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: So rain Drops, let me know what you think. Do
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: you think Amanda should come back?
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: I think she should. I think she's just getting started.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: I really do, I really do, I really do.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: So with that being said, we need to get into
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: the latest news when it comes to the update of
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Erica Jane.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Okay, So Jane.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Moments before her trial was set to begin for the
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: twenty five million dollar lawsuits she settled so she would
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: not be hitting to trial. The trial was in regards to,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: like I say, a twenty five million dollar legal war
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: that is tied to her ex husband Tom Giraldi.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: In regards to listen.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: You'd be having to live under rock to not understand
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: what's been going on. So the thing is she was
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: going to court because she was being sued by the
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: people that Tom Giraldi did wrong.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Okay, it has been.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Something that has imploded since twenty twenty amid allegations that
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Tom stole millions from clients. In twenty twenty four, Tom
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: was convicted on multiple wire fraud charges tied to claims
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: that he embezzled more than fifteen million dollars, and ever
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: since Erica filed for divorce, she's been fighting to separate
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: herself from Tom's claims, okay, from the claims that people
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: have against Tom. But all of that obviously was going
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: to come to a head because she was again being sued.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: And when it comes to the lawsuit, the lawsuit stems
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: from the collapse of Tom's law firm, Giraldi Keys with
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: the bank ruptsy trust Tee.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: Okay, so listen to brain drops.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: The bank ruptsy trustee accused Erica and her companies of
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: burning through more than twenty five million dollars in firm
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: funds on glam expenses and personal bills. So they're alleging
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: that Erica allegedly took money from the law firm to
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: pay for her lifestyle, her glam squad, her personal bills,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: and all of those things. So the law firm was
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: the one that was suing Erica, but Erica settled, okay.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: The lawyers informed the judge on Thursday, which is yesterday
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: at the time of this recording, that the case have
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: been officially resolved and the gag is next week was
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: when the process of the jury selection was supposed to
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: kick off.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: From the jump. Erica has denied any wrongdoing, So what
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: was a settlement?
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: According to People magazine, the settlement terms are still under wraps,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: but the agreement wipes out all pending hearings, motions and
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: the looming court room showdown, So we'll see what happens.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: She cut a deal now, according to the Bravo Docket.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: I've been on their podcast as well, so I do
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: want to read a comment that was asked of the
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Bravo Docket because they also were one of the first
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: people to report what happened.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: So I want to read to you guys a comment that.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Someone made that the Bravo Docket ladies actually did respond to.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: So the comment had to do with wandering like okay,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: if this case was settled, what does that mean? How
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: much did they get? So a comment or did ask
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: like okay? With all of this being said, is it
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: plausible that perhaps the deal that Erica made had to
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: be around two million dollars? And the Bravo docin responded
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: saying that yes, it had to be between two and
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: twenty five million.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: So that is I mean, girl, that's a range, a
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: big range.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: But it's somewhere in between that allegedly between two and
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: twenty five million. They believe that. Yes, it definitely is
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: a range in that number. If I had to guess,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: I'm not a lawyer, although I play with on TV.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying I think is maybe five.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Because the thing is this, the lawsuit and the lawyers
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: and all of those things. In order for that to happen,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: the team that could have cost them two million.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: So perhaps eric could not only have.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: To pay their legal fees. Okay, they have to get
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: something out of it, and it was around five million.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Obviously that is something better than having to pay twenty
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: five million.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: Does Erica have five million to even pay?
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: Who knows? Does she have two millions to pay? She
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: gets paid from the show she is making appearances performing.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Maybe she had to sell a few things. I think
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: With that being said, look, I think based on her
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: personal items, some of the iconic archival wardrobe that she owns,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: maybe that's how she was able to come up with
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: the money in addition to what she's getting paid by Bravo.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: But the good news is this for her right for
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: her going to trial is of course stressful, and she
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: now does not have to deal with that. And just
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: because you settled doesn't mean you're guilty. It doesn't always
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: mean you're guilty. And I think, based on her going
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: through this for oh my god, six years, that this
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: is the final chapter of that situation she had to
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: go through with Tom. And for that, I am happy
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: that she is able to just not have to deal
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: with that, because that alone is just a lot.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: It's a lot, It's a lot.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: So I'm happy that she is able to move on
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: from this because you can tell it has been something.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: That has affected her, and rightfully so.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: And like I said before, I do not believe for
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: a second that she knew what Tom was doing. I
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: don't believe that. I don't believe it for a second.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: I think she was caught off guard, just like everybody.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: I think, because Erica had no idea about Tom's fine
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: nansis and what was going on.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: It's not like she had access to his bookkeeping.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: He gave her amount of money, she took it, and
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: she did what she had to do with it without
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: asking questions. So with that being said, I definitely believe
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: that she knew nothing, but she knew nothing.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: So that's that. Before we finished off for Beverly Hills.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: I do want to update since we're talking about trials.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Wendy and Eddie OSEPHO shout out to shout out to
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: excuse me, doctor Wendy who celebrated her birthday. Yesterday, they
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: appeared in court and in terms of their insurance fraud,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: the court dis schedule that on January twenty fifth through
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: the twenty ninth they both would be tried together and
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: not separately, and will be facing the sixteen combined charges,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: including seven felonies related to allegations that they faked a
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: home burglary to defraud insurance companies. So the update is
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: they will be getting a joint trial and the judge
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: is set the dates for the joint five day trial
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: and schedule of preceding status hearing for January thirteenth, twenty
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: twenty seven.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: So that's the latest. That's the latest.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: They're not going to be tried separately, which I know
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: is something that they both wanted. The judge wants them
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: tried together, so they will be tried as won. Yeah,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: so the trial again is now scheduled for January twenty
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: fifth through the twenty ninth, and yes, the Bravo cameras
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: were there to pick up everything.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: There's rumors that Wendy is not filming, or hashmen filming
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: or stop filming.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: None of that is true. None of that is true.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: She is filming.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Rabo camera's worthy to capture her and Eddie's arrival in court.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: So we will see what happens with that situation. Okay,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: on too much lighter news because y'all know.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: That story depresses me. I just can't. I can't. I can't.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: I can't. I can't. I can't. I just can't. I
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: just can't. Okay, AnyWho.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Direk Himsley is out on press tour to promote her
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: book on Burden, and she recently sat down with Extra
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: TV to not on to promote her book, but to
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: clear some things up. She addressed her holly publicized, messy
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: divorce from p K, where she denied get this, She
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: denied his allegations that she spent nearly one million dollars
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: luxury designer goods while their family face foreclosure.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: She is saying that it's.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Not true at all, that none of that is true
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: now granted, we did see the core documents where it
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: was mentioned, but that of course was PK's lawyers doing that.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: But the Reds said that none of that is true
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: and that their home, yes is still tied up in
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: financial pre foreclosure facing you know, auction issues. And she
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: also stated that you know, she had no idea that
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: PK wasn't paying it.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: She denies a lot.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Of what PK has said, but said that based on
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: what's been going on, she's just trying to figure everything.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: Else out now.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: What she also talked about in this interview was her
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: relationships with the Ladies. She gave an update posted reunion
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: and shockingly has mentioned that her and Erica Jane have
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: been texting each other.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they've been testing each other.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: She said that she reached out to Erica in regards
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: to seeing what she was going on with the trial
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: that was coming up, which is good.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: We love that, We love that, we love that, and
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: she said that.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: Erica also reached out to her, so she believes that
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: they will come to a resolution.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: In terms of their friendship.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: But when it comes to Kyle, she did say that
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: she has not spoken to Kyle because she felt that
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Kyle again was unsupported of her during a challenging time
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: in her life.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: But the good news is she is saying that her
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: and Erica.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Have been sharing, in her words, some really warm, supportive messages.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: So that's good. That's good, that's good.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: And that she believes that they can move past their issues.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: So I know there's word on the street in regards
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: to what's going to happen.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: With the casting of next season.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: My honest opinion is I think they're all coming back.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: I think they're all coming back some capacity. I don't
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: think anyone's at risk. I think they're all coming back,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: and I also think that they'll bring somebody new. But
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: in terms of rumors people's getting fired, I don't think
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: that's the case. And Duri definitely ain't getting fired, not
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: at all, not one.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: Bit, okay, not one bit, all right.
