Kenya Moore’s Ex-Boyfriend, Matt Jordan, Accuses Her of Staging Moore Manor Blowup

RollingOut.com:

Ever since Kenya Moore joined the cast of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta “ years ago, she’s been accused by many a cast mate, blogger and journalist of faking parts of her storyline to remain one of, if not the most, dramalicious cast mates on the show’s roster. And now new accusations have sprung up against the star and this time they’re from her ex-boyfriend, Matt Jordan, who says Moore staged his now infamous tirade around Moore Manor.

As fans of the show remember, Jordan was filmed on camera for “RHOA” trashing Moore’s home, dubbed Moore Manor, during one of their more volatile falling outs. When it was all said and done, Moore called the cops after Jordan damaged her home’s glass garage door, garage door, outdoor security camera and even her Range Rover.

However, in a recent interview, Jordan claimed that the scene was fake and that Moore asked him to damage her home as a way to keep her storyline dramatic.

“Miss Moore requested I do that and certain things to build her storyline,” Jordan said. “I never broke anything that wasn’t already planned to happen. It was agreed upon prior to it. It was per her decision to boost her storyline on the show.”

Jordan added, “I was convinced it would be a good idea to do. She got the police report to show she has a crazy boyfriend. That really hurt. I didn’t think she would go that far and do me like that.”

Indeed, Moore did file a police report against Jordan and according to the Sandy Springs Police Department Report, police said, “I asked Kenya about the suspect, she believed it was Matt Jordan. Jordan is an ex-boyfriend, they had been together for about a year and had broken up in the past week. Kenya believed the vandalism was related to the breakup.”

Lisa Vanderpump Continues Feud with Eileen Davidson & Lisa Rinna

People.com:

The last time Lisa Vanderpump saw Lisa Rinna and Eileen Davidson, the 56-year-old restauranteur was trading barbs with them on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion.

It was a tense argument built around a season of accusations from the Housewives claiming that Vanderpump had been manipulating them to engage in discussions they didn’t want to be a part of — including a plot to expose Yolanda Hadid’s alleged Munchausen Syndrome.

But on Tuesday’s premiere season 7 premiere of the hit Bravo franchise, both Rinna and Davidson were ready to leave the battles in the past and move on.

Vanderpump? Not so much.

“I think maybe Eileen Davidson and Lisa Rinna would probably be thrilled if I wasn’t part of this circle of friends,” she told viewers. “But no — I’m coming back. And I’m coming back stronger than ever.”

“I had a really miserable time in Dubai,” she confessed, reflecting on the season 6 trip. “Rinna kept going on at me saying I told her to say something about Yolanda’s health, which wasn’t true. Rinna was just unusually aggressive. And Eileen was just backing her up. Eileen also kept going on at my about mentioning the word ‘affair,’ which she had had. It was just a nightmare.”

Kyle Richards hoped Vanderpump would find a way to move on — but admitted the process might take some time. “I’m sure they’re going to be okay eventually,” Richards said. “I know Lisa so well, and she does hold on to things for a long time. I don’t think she’s losing any sleep over Lisa Rinna and Eileen.”

“I mean, is she sitting there with a voodoo doll?” Richards joked. “Maybe.”

Dorinda Medley Announces Engagement To Boyfriend John Mahdessian

Wetpaint.com:

Another Real Housewives of New York star is getting married!

Dorinda Medley has revealed that she is engaged to her boyfriend, John Mahdessian.

The New York City dry cleaner to the stars had previously proposed to Dorinda in the RHONY season 7 finale, when she said no. But it appears she has since changed her tune.

This will mark the second marriage for the 51-year-old reality star, who was previously wed to Richard H. Medley from 2005 until his death from cancer in 2011.

Dorinda broke the happy news to Radar Online while hosting the Celebrity Page Holiday Party at New York's Bagatelle on Thursday, December 8. "I’m getting married!" she told the site.

"The thing about New York is that it is so intense and there are just so many people," she continued. "One of the biggest luxuries for John and I is that we just get to be together. We like to do normal things and just hang out together, watch TV, go for walks and, of course, cook."

"She says that she is the peanut butter and I am the jelly, but together we are amazing," added her future husband, 52.

It remains to be seen if the engagement was captured by cameras this time around — filming for RHONY Season 9 began in October.

Teresa Giudice's Bankruptcy Settlement Approved by NJ Court

NJ.com:

Teresa Giudice's long national nightmare is over. For the most part.

A settlement between "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Teresa Giudice and her creditors has been approved by a U.S. Bankruptcy Court judge in Newark, leaving the reality star free to pursue to her legal malpractice lawsuit against her former bankruptcy lawyer James Kridel.

Under the settlement, Giudice will keep 55 percent of any potential winnings from the legal malpractice suit, with the remaining 45 percent going to any remaining creditors.

The settlement comes after highly-contested negotiations between lawyers representing various antagonists: Giudice on one side, and the people to whom she owes money on the other. U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Stacey Meisel congratulated both parties during the hearing Friday.

"I honestly wasn't sure it could be done," the judge said.

Giudice's lawyers Anthony Rainone and Carlos Cuevas told NJ Advance Media that Giudice has already repaid the bulk of her creditors, and has paid about $156,000 to the Internal Revenue Service, which filed a $551,563 tax lien against the couple last year.

Phaedra Parks Definitely Has a Type: Meet Her Alleged New [Reformed] Bad-Boy Boyfriend Restaurateur Tim Norman

DailyMail.com:

By all accounts, Phaedra Parks divorce from Apollo Nida is a done deal, despite differing accounts of when it was signed and sealed.

Nida, 38, who is is serving an eight-year prison sentence for conspiring to commit mail, wire and bank fraud, recently got engaged in prison to a woman named Sherien Almufti, who revealed her engagement ring made of paper towels on social media. 

And Parks, 43, has already moved on with a new beau of her own, quietly dating restaurateur Tim Norman for the last two months, DailyMail.com has learned exclusively.

The couple met when Parks was in St. Louis for a conference and went past the Sweetie Pies Upper Crust restaurant for a meal. Norman made sure she was well taken care of and then asked if he could show her around the city while she was in town.

'Since then, she's been to St. Louis and Los Angeles several times to spend time with him. He also travels to Atlanta to see her. They haven't gone public, but its no secret to those who know them that they are together,' a source told DailyMail.com.

Norman, the 37-year-old star of OWN Network's reality series Welcome To Sweetie Pies, is a reformed bad boy.

When he was 17-years-old, Norman went to prison for 10 years for armed robbery. 

In recent interview, Norman confessed to being a teenage drug dealer who amassed debt with numerous other drug dealers. When he was unable to pay the money back, he started robbing people in an effort to get the cash.

'He served his debt to society and came out turned his life completely around. He's become a huge part of his mother's restaurant business and was a vocal advocate for social justice during the Ferguson case,' said the source.

Could the 2nd Second Season of ‘Real Housewives of Potomac’ Be the Reality Show’s Last?

WashPo.com:

Et tu, Potomac?

It has been a while since we heard from the lovely ladies of Bravo’s Washington reality show, “The Real Housewives of Potomac,” which ostensibly chronicles the lifestyles of the mostly divorced and D.C. adjacent. Last we heard, original cast member Katie Rost, the former model and “ball and gala gal,” had been given the buh-bye (apparently she wasn’t “exciting” enough) and Season 2 of the show began filming in April.

But the good news stops there apparently. According to a person with knowledge of the production, Bravo is on the fence about its Potomac offering. Cast members had hoped the show’s second go-round, which wrapped in late summer, would piggyback on “Real Housewives of Atlanta,” which premiered its ninth season on Nov. 6. But that’s not happening.

Another source with knowledge of the production team’s decisions said the premiere date of the show has definitely been pushed back. Bravo, said this source, wants to find out if RHOP can “stand on its own,” without a carry-over audience boost from the well established Atlanta show.

“The ladies are getting very nervous,” our source said. “They’re all feeling major anxiety and fearful that their show may not air. It’s definitely holding on by a string. . . . For right now, the ladies are on pins and needles.”

A representative from Bravo did not respond to a request for comment.

Phaedra Parks and Apollo Nida are Already Divorced, Just Like Phaedra Said

TMZ.com:

Phaedra Parks said she was officially single again, but Apollo Nida said otherwise -- now we know who was actually right ... turns out, it's all Phaedra.

Court docs unsealed Monday back up Phaedra's original claim 100% -- she's been officially single since July.

According to the docs, Apollo was served in March -- while behind bars -- and even asked the court for time to respond, which he was granted. Still, 4 months went by and he went radio silent ... so the judge went ahead and signed off on the divorce without Apollo's signature.

The docs also include a parenting plan. Phaedra gets physical custody of their 2 kids while Apollo finishes his 8 year bid. When he's out, he'll get visitation, but she gets final say over any parenting disagreements.

Apollo denied knowing anything about the divorce, and even went so far as to file his own petition last week. Clearly, he's got time to kill right now.

Kim Richards Talks Life After Rehab and Arrest: ‘I’m Just So Grateful to Be Where I Am Today’

People.com:

Kim Richards is opening up about overcoming her struggles and welcoming new challenges in the upcoming season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

“Before I started the show, life was really good and then, you know, things happened and it wasn’t,” she told reporters at The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 7 premiere party at the Sofitel Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills, California, on Friday. “And it wasn’t just my relapse that was hard, but I went through a depression as well after that.”

Looking back, Richards said she feels “so happy” now.

“I’m just so grateful to be where I am today, and to be this happy and have life this good and have the relationships that I have … I feel so blessed,” she said. “I feel powerful. I feel so grateful. Honestly. Life is so amazing today. I wake up happy. I go to sleep happy…”

But her happiness has been a long time coming. Richards, 50, who originally entered rehab following her April arrest for public intoxication, decided to leave her Malibu treatment facility for her daughter’s nuptials in May 2015. She checked herself back in two weeks later. The reality star and former child actress also entered rehab back in 2011.

“I was really busy this season with my home, my daughters, my son and my grandchild,” she said, when asked about her presence in the new season. “My focus was really on my family.”

As for drama in the upcoming season, Richards said it’s difficult to avoid.

“Well I really wouldn’t go that far!” she said, when asked if there was less drama in season 7. “I managed to make a little time to get by to say ‘Hi’ to everybody, but I don’t know if I squeezed out leaving out the drama. It wasn’t my doing, but you know, leave it to the [Lisa] Rinna!”

Andy Cohen Confirms ‘Real Housewives of Miami’ Cancellation

RadarOnline.com:

Andy Cohen has finally confirmed that a beloved Real Housewives franchise will not be returning.

Cohen, 48, revealed at Live Talks L.A. that The Real Housewives of Miami “didn’t work out,” just weeks after he raised the question in Superficial: More Adventures From The Andy Cohen Diaries.

“I knew the first question was going to be when is Real Housewives of Miami coming back and I said, ‘Never say never,'” he wrote in his book. “But I could see from the women’s faces that they didn’t believe me and then I kind of didn’t believe me, but I was getting nostalgic for them.”

RHOM lasted for three seasons from 2011 to 2013, and starred Lea Black, Larsa Pippen, and Joanna Krupa among others. None of the ladies got a spin-off after the show’s cancellation, but Marysol Patton and her mom Elsa received a web series, Havana Elsa during the show’s second season.

RadarOnline.com exclusively reported that three-season star Alexia Echevarria‘s husband Herman died of natural causes earlier this year. He was separated from the Bravolebrity at the time, and was found alone in his condo.
