I'm lasering my ass for Ray, but I'm not wearing my ring,
and we're not in a good place.
Like, that's kind of conflicting.
Go in.
Go.
Hi, I'm Jenny Murphy.
I'm Evan Riela.
And Bowie!
I like that last week, Robin booed us.
Mm-hmm.
And now this week, we're in Bowie, which you know about.
Yes, I do know about Bowie.
I spent a vast portion of my childhood going
to summer day camps in Bowie.
Now, Giselle seemed not so pleased
that this is where this event happened.
What are your thoughts?
My thoughts are yes.
I would not be pleased either.
because Bowie is not it's a she's
a hard-working town okay she's not a glamorous city and to hold
your Sophia home coming event in a random med spa
in a random parking lot in Bowie Maryland was a
choice now I do like that this was a multi-layered event
that nobody really knew the theme of of
but I mean but what mattered is it made sense in Karen's mind right
and she said yeah we're at a
med spa it's the color purple inspired and there's
also champagne and Robin has an IV and she kind
have insulted everybody almost with their treatment yes
so she prescribed a spa treatment to every
single girl and there was a twinge of shade in each assignment
but then i don't know if she was
kind of shading herself because she decided to get
her butthole hairs removed she wanted to laser
them away but then giselle was very confused about
that well i think robin was more confused too
right because it's like not for ray because she
and ray are like not being intimate at the moment
and they're going through a marital no ring crisis
of sorts yeah not wearing a ring uh so
The question was brought up.
Who is she lasering her butthole hair for?
Who?
Who is it for?
I guess the man we see later on in the season.
Maybe herself.
Or maybe just herself.
She did say number one for herself.
Right, exactly.
Exactly.
She phrased it so funny.
How did she phrase it?
She said the trail was growing up.
Hair is like sprouting out of your butt.
It is an ambitious track growing up.
Yes, the trail was growing up.
And I thought...
No, I know.
It's bad.
I didn't know what side we were talking about.
Oh she was definitely talking about her butthole, no she did
and then we saw them because we saw her
sand right and then Ashley was saying
when they sat down for their drinks and snacks that she
could smell her singed butthole hair, I never imagined
that I'd be sitting enjoying this
delicious shrimp cocktail still smelling
the singes of Karen's booty hairs getting lasered
just in the room next door
and and that's what still gagged me that Robin brought her IV to the
table and just in a bag loose, I'm like now
that needle's gonna fall out, yeah it was a I feel bad
for this med spot
because this really
it didn't shine
didn't sell it
no not at all
and then the
the massage is
because Wendy got a massage
but it was kind of
just a foot rub
because she was in full glam
and had a fit on
I was confused about that
I was like how does this end
and I guess
she needed her feet rubbed
she said a man hasn't rubbed
her feet in 15 years
Eddie
sorry Eddie
and I forget
who picked up on the fact
that oh it was Robin
so Robin and Wendy
met up right
which shook me
yeah that was kind of crazy
and then the way
that Wendy was speaking
about Eddie
Robin's out here like
oh i think she's starting to place blame on Eddie
for this whole legal issue i get the feeling that
Wendy is kind of maybe blaming Eddie
if you're saying there's some issues then that means
you might have been blindsided i do think
that she's soft launching a case to build the narrative
that she was blindsided by Eddie and Robin
who is a legal expert of sorts is catching up on that
yeah and um Robin is catching up on that Giselle wants nothing
to do with it because when her and
Tia had their sit-down moment
which it seems like in the trailer for next week it doesn't seem like
it lasts at all um but Giselle apologized to Tia
for how things went down and then Tia was very
much like you're giving me support i think we all should
be supporting Wendy and Giselle was like i
don't support scam and fraud i do want us to step up for Wendy
but are we going to act like Wendy did
not potentially commit a crime which i feel like i mean like
and giselle's going based off of is
kind of what robin and wendy were talking about
giselle's going based off of what is being reported
right so those are the words associated with wendy's predicament
and she even kind of brought
that up when wendy was yelling at karen
when karen said that she's not helping women in and
out of prison um that wendy was like
but you're not supporting the person in your group in a
moment like that yeah i was like oh wait what i was like
when you brought that up
you're saying you want to help women that have
been through that when you literally have a woman
at your table who is going through that when we're
in new york you're kicking me while i'm down
you bring up my mom which is a slap in the face i know
that was it wasn't good it was a point you
know i understand where she's coming from with it
but i was like oh yeah kind of crazy this whole
Giselle and Wendy thing but I kind
of understand where Giselle's coming from telling Tia that she's
not going to support her because like Tia's going through
a very different situation Tia was cheated
on by her husband well did anyone swipe on him
but well there's no I don't know like he says he's
on dating apps all the time there was an attempt to cheat
and I guess before it's a pattern so
that's kind of crazy and that probably even hurt worse
because that was the beginning of their
marriage so many years ago and then to hear
when she was pregnant right and so to hear it's still
happening all these years later her kids are like 16
and 18 etc that just really sucks but
my point is that what Tia is going through yeah
we're gonna rally around you because it's not
your fault at all your man's being unfaithful
but it's different than Wendy allegedly running
an insurance scam with yeah you know
so that's a hard thing where it's like i'm like we saw the
email i don't know right and look i don't know any updates yet
so who knows maybe we're not the
judge we're not the jury the trial hasn't happened yet like she's
not she hasn't been convicted but
Giselle's like she's been arrested either way like it's just
not looking good for her I do
think Giselle made a good point too where she
was like Tia if this was happening to me Wendy
would be having a field day if it
were me Wendy would run me down to the ground you think so
absolutely have you had that experience with her I'm
not a scammer 1000% which I was like Tia like
you're a little bit newer to the group these girls
do not like each other yeah yeah and I feel like
if it was happening
to Giselle Wendy would go even harder than you know how Giselle's
treating the situation with Wendy
and Giselle is capable of of more i feel like she's actually
she's actually being as nice
as she can she's like scaling back you know she's being pretty
soft i think she i feel like it was half
an olive branch went at the table she was like
I'm gonna be going to Capitol Hill
and advocating for you know the the organization that she got
involved with after her father died I think it's
a brain cancer organization brain tumors and she
was asking for her advice I'm heading to the Hill I'm going
to speak to Congress so I would like a
little advice from Wendy on that as you have stepped
your feet in these rooms I feel like in
that moment she was like low-key like uplifting
her presenting in front of the group like this
is a woman who's been on Capitol Hill
and who's done this amazing work etc etc Wendy what's your
advice so it's it's almost like she has
the ability to compartmentalize and not be shady
in every moment I've heard assume I guess Wendy
from her interactions with Giselle usually I
wonder if Wendy in that moment she's like
so you're saying this to me because you know I'm
not getting opportunities like that ever oh you've
been on Capitol Hill before right yeah
I'm just like grain of I'm like you know I could see if Wendy was like
and also you've been calling
me a scammer I'm just I'm just
so naive there was shade in it I you know I could see I was calling
for it I could see how it could be perceived shade gotcha
so you think it was like low-key
pettiness like pettiness wrapped in a bow I think it could
be a little bit wow well I could see
because I'm like Giselle doesn't give
a ---- about advice that's probably true okay wow you're
opening my eyes i didn't think about it that way
but i i think y'all i think danny might be right
so who knows but i do know that uh wendy
and karen really got into it and i think they'll
continue to get into it because that was a kind
of dramatic end yeah yeah remind me how did it end
like i'm sorry i can only you know what how it
ended it i think it's gonna have to continue
because oh i see karen was kind of just like we're not like
when it comes to karen the only
thing i can remember is her getting her butthole hair removed
so i kind of everything else just
kind of that's probably also like wendy
was critiquing about how she was handling their
relationship and her pain wait what wendy
was critiquing how karen operates with her
but karen was probably in a little pain after oh oh yeah oh totally
because i've never had
laser hair removal but i hear it is painful i hear it's painful
but more effective so her
butthole is probably really raw and like to have an argument
while you have like a raw scab butthole
yeah like that's just that's just really i don't
know i mean aren't they burning it it's i don't
know now i'm thinking about karen's scab what i'm thinking about
is did you see the did you see the
preview clip they dropped of giselle robin
and Ashley sitting down tell me all about it Robin
does not give a about Ashley yikes
and Robin is saying bringing up to Ashley and Giselle how we
should be giving a little more grace
to Wendy curious Robin saying that but see I don't
understand how Robin's tune changed
so quickly just over one lunch that's okay because remember
when we were at the carpet with Robin at BravoCon two years ago
and she was saying like I'm
happy I'm not on the show with Wendy
as she said I don't want to misquote her but she was saying
some things not positive about Wendy yeah
so how did we get here and then she was saying do you
think she's advocating on behalf of Wendy to drive
a wedge in between Giselle and Ashley somehow is
she like using that as an opportunity she can do two things at once
because her wedge with Giselle
and Ashley was Robin was like Ashley was like
because Robin was basically saying Giselle how
we talk about her on the podcast she said I told
her that we covered the news but how you describe
it and how you guys discuss it with Wendy said to Robin
but Ashley's like but you've said some
things about me on the podcast Robin I don't
always like and I think it's because you don't
like me and Robin was like
who told you that and Ashley was like well Giselle said that you kind
of are sometimes cautious of me
so i'm like i feel like everyone's tattling on giselle it seems
i don't really know what cookie crumbles where
and i do know giselle and robin are like best
best best best friends but i also think giselle
and ashley are best best best friends i don't
know do you know who's gonna love to see all
this karen karen with her singed butthole hairs she's
like i love to see giselle get tattled on a little popcorn
at home candace oh 1000 percent i feel
like if candace saw those three girls
on the screen she'd turn off but actually no she's nice
but actually yeah she's pretty nice i do always wonder how she
and wendy are i think there's a
question mark around their friendship they don't
really talk about each other and you know yeah i
don't know what's going on with them
but um we won't find out about that next week but we're
gonna find out more about this whole robin ashley giselle moment
because the lunch seemed very
interesting they just gave us like a two minute clip
but i want more so we will get more next week
