Brandi Redmond Has Adopted a Baby Boy


BravoTV.com:
Brandi Redmond's dream of growing her family has finally come true. The Real Housewives of Dallas mom shared that she and husband Bryan Redmond adopted an infant son, Bruin Charles, this past winter.

Brandi recently opened up to PEOPLE about her adoption journey. “It’s changed our lives forever,” she shared. “We are obsessed with him, my whole family is. We’re just so blessed.”

Brandi expressed her desire to give daughters Brooklyn, 9, and Brinkley, 6, another sibling last season of RHOD. She revealed that she had suffered a miscarriage while trying to grow her family and explored with her OBGYN what challenges lie ahead for her as she tried to get pregnant with baby No.3. But after failing to conceive, Brandi and Bryan decided to stop trying for another baby, according to PEOPLE.

But at the beginning of 2018, Brandi got a call from a friend connected to a social worker who told the family about Bruin. Bruin was born prematurely on December 31, weighing 4 pounds and 5 ounces and measuring 18 inches. His biological parents were teenagers, who awarded him to the state at birth. Social workers had trouble finding a family who wanted a son until they found Brandi and Bryan. “It happened pretty much overnight,” Brandi told PEOPLE. “He was in the neonatal intensive care unit because he was born prematurely, so we flew out of Dallas — he was still in Texas —and we met him in the hospital. We just immediately fell in love.”

Cary Deuber Faces Off with Brandi Redmond Over Affair Accusations


People.com:
“Nannygate” came to a head on Monday’s Real Housewives of Dallas, as Cary Deuber  sat down with Brandi Redmond for a tense one-on-one chat.

As RHOD fans will remember, last week, Redmond claimed that the 41-year-old registered nurse’s relationship to plastic surgeon and now-husband Mark Deuber began as a workplace affair while he was married to another woman and she was both his surgical assistant and the nanny to his children.

“I don’t understand the character assassination,” Cary told Redmond on Monday, denying the affair. “Saying that I was Mark’s nanny and all of that b——-. What did I do that was so bad that you went below the belt? I don’t understand — if I have friends like that, who needs enemies? Like, oh my God. Let’s cut the shit. Why is it a bad secret that I watched the kids? I watched your kid in Memphis, I’m not f—— you!”

“It’s called a job. I work. I was working for four different plastic surgeons,” Cary said, explaining that Mark’s two kids from his previous marriage — Gary, 20, and Laura, 16 — weren’t the only two children she was watching. “I watched all of their kids because you know why? They f—— trusted me as a responsible adult…  You were totally trying to start s—!”

It was just one of many heated confrontations between Cary and Redmond in recent weeks.
Their arguing started at a dinner in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, where Cary debunked Redmond’s claims that she had previously said Redmond’s “Mommy Makeover” plastic surgeon had killed people on the operating table. Battles continued in Mexico, including a rocky boat ride that Cary later left claiming, “I can’t be friends with [Brandi and Stephanie Hollman].”

Redmond wasn’t having any of it, especially Cary’s insinuation that she was a liar.

LeeAnne Locken Shares Her Thoughts On Brandi Redmond and Stephanie Hollman Making Up


BravoTV.com:
Now that Brandi Redmond and Stephanie Hollman are back to being besties, it would seem that all is right with the world once again. But could LeeAnne Locken, who has formed a newfound friendship with Brandi and come at odds again with Stephanie this season, throw a monkey wrench in their plans? 

LeeAnne wants you to know that she would do nothing of the sort. "I truly believed that they were too close not to be friends again," LeeAnne recently told The Daily Dish, adding that she wasn't surprised to see Brandi and Stephanie ultimately resolve their issues. "I said to Brandi over and over, 'Look, whatever happens between you and Stephanie, [if] you and Stephanie reconcile, if you and Stephanie don't reconcile, whatever happens between you and Stephanie is between you and Stephanie, and I'm not a part of that. And I don't want to be a part of that. What I am is your friend. And if you need my support, if you need me to pick you up, if you need me to back you on something, if you need me to go somewhere with you, I'm here to be your friend. My issues with Stephanie are separate from me and you." 

In fact, LeeAnne said that she couldn't stand to see Brandi so upset over her falling out with Stephanie. "I can't tell you how many times we talked over the summer, and she was truly hurt by what was going on between her and Stephanie. And I think when you love someone, it's easy to forget how deeply they hurt you because you want so much for the love to come back," she shared. "But I very clearly remembered the tears and the crying and it broke my heart. And that is the truth. It really did." 

As for those who think LeeAnne did put herself in the middle of Brandi and Stephanie's beef, the RHOD charity maven is not here for it. "That's their opinion. Opinions are like ***holes; everybody's got one. You know what, I didn't. Stephanie can say it until the cows come home, but I'm not between the two of them. I never was. She was. Here's what Stephanie does. She and Cary [Deuber]. They're deflectors. She doesn't want to own that she's injured Brandi, so she's gonna make it my fault. And the reality is, own your sh**. I own mine. They certainly demand that I own mine. So my philosophy is don't make me the villain when you did the deed. I was over here listening to tears. I didn't do anything. And I never told Brandi not to be friends again with Stephanie. That never came out of my mouth. I will state that until I am dead," LeeAnne said. "We're adult women. My friendship with one human has nothing to do with someone else. If people are immature enough to need to blame it on someone else, then that's their own immaturity."

Brandi Redmond Talks Marriage Struggles After Challenging Year


BravoTV.com:
Brandi Redmond wasn't afraid to open up about the good, the bad and the ugly of her personal life last season of The Real Housewives of Dallas, especially when it came to her marital issues with husband Bryan Redmond. The RHOD mom shared how she felt distant with her hubby and even revealed that he said he wanted a divorce after how she acted during one wild night at the strip club last season. 

But what a difference a season makes, because Brandi and Bryan are in a totally different place these days. "Bryan and I are amazing. If you go back, if you look at what we went through, I think it was a learning lesson for both of us. We learned to communicate better and just reflecting back on that, it was actually a blessing, because we were able to pull ourselves together, go through counseling, and really focus on the things that we really needed to to make our marriage better," Brandi recently gushed to The Daily Dish. "I love that I had the opportunity to come back and show it to everybody. It makes me smile."

The RHOD couple got to such a good place that they even renewed their vows in front of their closest friends and family in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, last year. "I think what's funny is we were all wearing pretty dresses, the girls, and my husband comes out with all the guys, and they're all wearing robes and then they take them all off and they're in little whitey-tidys. And I'm like, 'Wait, I can't post these pictures,'" Brandi said of one hilarious and memorable moment during the big day. "It was fun, and I think it was more intimate, and we needed it."

Brandi teased that we'll see more of Bryan's fun side this season of RHOD, which fans may not have seen much of in the past. "He was very closed off. He was scared because he didn't know what we were getting ourselves into," Brandi said of the way Bryan came off during Season 1. "And this season, I think you're going to be very surprised with Bryan because his personality really shines and he relaxed and he was himself and he had fun doing it." 

Though Brandi said Bryan doesn't watch the show, reliving Season 1 proved to be a valuable experience as she approached working on her marriage. "Bryan and I's relationship and everything we went through last season, it definitely made us stronger," she said.

Andy Cohen Talks Possible Return of 'Real Housewives of Dallas'


FashionNStyle.com:
There was a lot of hype for the latest installment of Bravo's "Real Housewives" franchise. However, due to low ratings and backlash for the abundance of poop and charity conversations, it is uncertain whether or not "RHOD" has a chance at being renewed for a second season. Luckily, Andy Cohen recently discussed the chances of season 2 and what cast shake-ups fans could expect.

During an appearance on the "Kidd Kraddick Morning Show" for "Dish Nation," Andy confirmed that there is "potential" for season 2.

"There is a potential second season of the 'Real Housewives of Dallas,' you bet," Andy responded, according to Oh So Cynthia.

He then revealed that a possible cast shake-up could be in order for season 2. 

"We always shake [the cast] up a little bit. Now that the reunion has aired and all the dust is settling, we're taking a look back and reevaluating and figuring out who we want to keep and who we want to let go," he explained.

One of the show's hosts, Kellie Rasberry, then told Andy that "RHOD" needed to get rid of "poop and charity." Andy thought she meant that Brandi Redmond and LeeAnne Locken should be fired, since Brandi talked about poop while LeeAnne talked about charity, but Kellie meant that the show just needed to remove those topics of conversation.

Oh So Cynthia also confirmed that, if the series is renewed, filming would begin in September.

LeeAnne Locken On Being ‘Loud Mouth’ In Brandi Redmond’s Phone


Inquisitr.com:
Real Housewives of Dallas star LeeAnne Locken has been feuding with Brandi Redmond since the show began filming in Dallas last year. The two women just can’t seem to see eye-to-eye on anything. While Brandi enjoyed a few poop jokes and showed up at a charity event with a Paris-inspired hat of a dog party with plenty of poops, LeeAnne was shocked and knew she had to keep her distance from her co-star if she wanted to be respected in the charity world. On last night’s episode of The Real Housewives of Dallas, she learned that Redmond had saved her number in her phone as “Loud Mouth.”
According to a new Bravo report, Real Housewives of Dallas star LeeAnne Locken is now revealing that she actually found it funny that she was listed as “Loud Mouth” in Brandi’s phone. Before their reconciliation, Locken may not have been as understanding of her Real Housewives of Dallas co-star’s decision to call her a name in her phone. The two didn’t get along, and they also yelled at one another at a party. But when her Real Housewives co-star called her to make peace, Locken felt it was time to settle the drama.
“I was 100 percent surprised that she called me to meet up. So much time had gone by between when Brandi first sat me on the couch to the lunch meeting. I honestly didn’t think it was every going to happen and I was so sad about that, especially after hearing about her brother. I didn’t think I’d ever get that moment with her because I was too afraid to reach out, thinking it would do more harm than good. After what I know about PTSD through Rich, my heart immediately wanted to talk to Brandi, so I was beyond thankful when she called,” the Real Housewives star LeeAnne revealed on her blog, sharing that she was thrilled that she could make peace with her Real Housewives of Dallas co-star.
As she was watching this week’s episode of The Real Housewives of Dallas, LeeAnne learned that Brandi had saved her name in her phone as “Loud Mouth.” Of course, this wasn’t really a mean label, as Redmond could have gone all out with the name. However, Locken wasn’t exactly offended by the label. Instead, she felt it was so funny and decided to make it a fun event rather than one that could ruin the peace between them.

“I laughed when I saw how she has me under ‘Loud Mouth’ in her phone. Really, though – I did laugh because I now know that that is just Brandi’s sense of humor. I know I’m not the only one in her phone under a silly name. Who knows? Maybe she has Stephanie as ‘Fart Queen?’ Lol, and I truly thought it was good natured humor, especially after getting to know Brandi better, I see that and can appreciate that about her,” the Real Housewives star reveals about her name being labeled as a joke in her co-star’s phone.
