1. The update, from the words of Brandi's lawyer no less, only states that, in his opinion, Eddie is attempting to retract "some" of the child support he paid her, in addition to the alimony. As far as I'm concerned, Brandi's tweets, which never mentioned the alimony, go to show what a liar she is and how happily she mischaracterizes information to suit her role as the perpetual victim.

2. Depends how you read the 'employee of Sur' comment...to me that's her implying something about Vanderpump Rules.

The main problem with Brandi is that almost nothing she is involved in can ever be shown oncamera, other than her feud with Joyce, which I don't think anyone enjoyed. The surrogacy drama with Adrienne was almost entirely offcamera. The machinations regarding Lisa are almost entirely offcamera. So unless people want to hear about how black women can't swim, or how she lost her dog, there's limited material.

1. The original statement on the link was from eddies camp. Why is it anymore reliable? "Some" is still involving child support.

2. I think it's implying Lisa treated her like she does her sur staff, not a friend. That ranges from using her to get stuff for pump rules - and that much is absolutely true.

They made have bleeped the word surrogacy out but that brought practically all the drama that did play out on screen. And I think a lot of the issues with Lisa have played out on screen it's just now getting to the confrontation. People just don't think there's anything wrong with Lisa being dismissive because she's classy about it and everyone knew they had a falling out before the show even started airing so it seems like it's been playing out gif a year.

People may not have loved the drama with Joyce but it was about the only thing talked about by fans or covered by press from this season until now with Brandi/Yolanda/ Lisa.

1. Sure, "some" is still involving child support, but don't you see how Brandi characterized it? She characterized it as if Eddie was taking only child support away from her when that simply isn't true. But then, the truth doesn't leave her in the most flattering, victim like light.

2. And that implication re: Vanderpump Rules is about money. She wanted a piece of the action from that show. And notice how Brandi backtracks, saying she loves Lisa, a far cry from the "Lisa is evil" schtick on the show. And the crap about Lisa getting Cedric deported when Brandi has never even met Cedric? What a joke.

1. This would involve anyone believing Brandi is a pretty sharp tool in the shed and understood the legalities enough to twist it. And from what we have seen in BH I doubt that. More than anything it reads like a classic overreaction without the details. But even in the details, it does involve child support.

2. I don't think it's about money. I don't think Brandi would be on pump rules even if they did pay her. She put herself in a uncomfortable situation for someone she thought as a friend but now sees she was just being used to generate story. But I still don't buy it is about the money, it's about the fact that she was used by someone she thought as a friend.

I've yet to see her cry out about how evil is the most evil vile malicious women to ever walk the earth the way her fans are alleging Brandi is. She has pointed out [!@#$%^&*] Lisa has done and refered to her as calculating and bobby fisher after google searching lol. I'm sure Yolanda is also a trashy jealous hater who is spewing hatred and thinks evil is just pure evil? Lol.

The Cedric thing, Brandi was been a bitch and thinking it would come off as kinda funny. ESP since it's a years old rumor. I'm not saying she's innocent and a victim, she's done a lot of shady [!@#$%^&*] herself. I'm just saying I think a lot of points she, Yolanda and even vile make about Lisa are correct.

    • I think the gross ickiness is Josh Griffith's intention. At birth, Ian Ward stole Mariah from Sharon, so that Sharon knew only of the Cassie twin and not the Mariah twin.  Sharon gave up Cassie for adoption at birth, never knowing that Mariah existed. When Ian Ward stole baby Mariah, he had her be raised by a woman member of his cult. She grew up in his cult. Years later, after Mariah was an adult in Genoa City and had left him, he tried to kidnap her to marry him himself, I sort of remember some icky scenes where he had arranged a wedding, but she escaped or was rescued -- it was so gross that I chose to forget it, and I don't want to look up the details. Mariah is feeling traumatized/triggered by Ian Ward being in Genoa City several months ago, because he was obsessed with her, and he terrorized her loved ones, interacted with Tessa, and drugged Sharon, which ultimately resulted in the death of Heather -- causing the grief of Daniel and Lucy. None of that was Mariah's fault. But she was so horrified by what happened, that she feels she did something wrong that caused this hateful villain to continue to obsess about her.   Based on small comments that Mariah made recently, I think she feels completely worthless. I gather that when she was away on the business trip a month or two ago, all of what happened with Ian Ward and Heather's death just hit her all at once and she was mentally/emotionally collapsing, and just felt unable to call for help.  During the business trip she sat in her hotel room and spiraled more, feeling more and more worthless and afraid. Finally she started drinking at a bar, and that's when the creepy old man approached her.  By that point, she wasn't in her right mind, and started interacting with the guy.  Either she though he was Ian, or she thought he was someone like Ian, and she would be *required* to flirt with him in a role play, and do what he commanded, almost like old programming being reactivated.  Or perhaps just simple self-loathing playing out. I don't know if the guy actually knew Ian or Jordan, or if he was a random stranger.  But Mariah's fear/loathing/subconscious chaos kicked in. And then... well that's as far as her flashbacks have aired so far. She can't bear to face the rest of whatever it was.  I gather that in the coming episodes, we'll (eventually) find out what happened next as we see more of the icky flashbacks. --------------- The rest of this post is only my speculation: I think that she felt like she was supposed to have sex with him but didn't want to, and may have tried to kill him instead. Or he r*ped her.  Or they didn't have sex at all, but it's all convoluted in her mind.  Something horrible happened but I don't think it was her fault.  If the man died, maybe she covered it up?  I really don't know, I'm just speculating ideas. At any rate, I'm totally convinced that this is NOT a conventional "cheating storyline" where someone willingly has sex outside their relationship. ----------------- This is basically Josh Griffith's obsession with dark storylines, creepy villains, and terrible writing of "mental health issues".
    • The most we ever saw was on the "Roger years" tape.

    • Right. Literally for decades, soaps mesmerized their audiences with tales of romance, family conflict, class struggles, and recognizable interpersonal-relationship sagas. We didn't need relentless, heavy violence. We didn't need clones, mad scientists, extra-terrestrials and demon possessions. We didn't need gaggles of plastic himbos and bimbos pushing beloved vets off-screen. We only needed to see people whom we cared about, and the intelligent, moving progression of their lives. Flashy sets, gaudy gimmicks, and high-falutin' hairdos be damned. The characters and the words were important.
    • Absolutely! Brad should've simply moved on from Lunacy. There's no point of freeing her, if you're not going to at least make an attempt at redemption or incorporating her into the fold. It happened with Quinn, who committed quite a few felonies before become the Forrester Matriarch.  Heck, keep Lunacy in prison and have Poppy/Finn discover that she gave birth to twins - 'Sunny' could've come on with a clean slate and still had Sheila/Finn and all the other drama. It certainly couldn't have been worse than what we've witnessed with the destruction of $B.    
    • I would enjoy it if Swan popped up on BTG as an old one time friend/mentor of Anita’s for a cameo. This is just

    • I had totally forgotten that Courtney story. I see Burton was already phoning it in by that point.
    • omg I completely missed that, but now when I see it typed here in your post, it's obvious icky cringe. So now I just checked and Tomas said that -- on May 27 that he likes the author Carl Ivati.  He said it with sort of an accent, so I didn't catch the stupid joke or think about the spelling.   I remember when that aired, that I actually said to myself at the time, "I wonder if that's a Latin American author, and I will have to google him later." And now I see your post, and I see. Well that's cringe, and I feel stupid to have fallen for it.

    • There's a lot you don't need if you have the writing.  You don't even need large casts!  You could make do with a cast of 12-18 actors if the writing is there.
    • Thank you. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with sleeping around if your spouse actually knows about it. She’s just a cheating slut.
