Cocktails and Gossip

This week we have so much Southern Charm gossip! West Wilson has officially been fired from Southern Charm. And the Real Housewives of Rhode Island finale ended with a bang, but Cocktailers knew about it. Why does Joellen keep letting Liz treat her badly? B has an interesting theory. A Cocktailer saw "THE VIDEO" of Brian and the mistress and described what was allegedly in the video - we share details. What's next for Rulla and Brian? Is Alicia's fiance trying to control her? Or was the "re-proposal" maybe just a bit last minute? On to Southern Charm. The gossip gods have been smiling down on us - we have a lot of tea to unpack with you this week. Was a Bravo and Cocktails post used as evidence in Taylor's breakup with Gaston? And could Scheana be mounting a new strategy to get back on reality TV? Or could there really be trouble in her relationship?

Tracy is here and making us laugh from the jump. Go Knicks, and go Bravo and Cocktails - because we're both having big weeks. Cocktailers knew that Jennifer Lawrence was the one who helped Andy figure out who recorded the audio leak from the Summer House reunion. Lots of people laughed about this and didn't believe us. But we were right. It was confirmed by Zaddy Andy himself - and have details about how it all went down. Tracy is Adding Kyle Cooke to her cart. Jesse Solomon has worked his way (back) into our hearts. Are we all buying into Amanda's damsel in distress act? Nope...co-host Amanda has some strongly worded thoughts on this. We've got intel on the new Summer House cast...and a theory that you're not hearing anywhere else. Tracy's thoughts on In the City...and what we're seeing for the first time on Bravo. And egg freezing ... why it can be life changing.

We're watching Love Island, as promised. We're not so sure about it yet, but giving it a fair shake. Everyone's talking about Amanda Batula's bun; we have theories about it. Plus two exclusives about West and Amanda, including what they were overheard saying about having kids?!?!?! Our theory about why West has been so quiet during the reunion. Cocktailers knew about West's "secret girlfriend", Meija, who apparently West was also in love with. Liz from RHORI is actually scary. But why the rage? B has a very interesting theory.

Breaking news: Did KJ and Dara break up last night? Here's what we know. The Summer House Reunion came in hot and never stopped. B has a theory about who actually leaked that Amanda and West were hooking up. Why was Amanda's reaction to West's nude so strangely gleeful? We've got a theory about that too.  As expected the timeline is a main point of conversation (and contention). We have to ask, why would anyone put out a joint statement about their romance when they haven't been past third base? We're not buying it. Bailey completely laid Ben out and it's hard to argue with her points, especially after production shows the clips right after. We have casting updates for Season 11 of Summer House ... but things are always a little fluid up until the last minute with this show, so we'll see. And RHORI: Now we know why people say Liz is "scary". And we are still team Kelsey even though she's kind of stepping in it lately.

This week, we finally get what we have been asking for. The Summer House folks In the City. And what a wild transition from the Hamptons to NYC it's been. And, Bravo addresses the West/Amanda romance and Amanda and Kyle's breakup all at once. Back to the Hamptons, we see some evidence that Amanda and West were up to no good last summer. Did West do what he did to Ciara because he secretly hates her after fan reactions to their breakup? Back to In the City, Bravo and Cocktails was featured twice on the show. Once at the beginning regarding Amanda and Kyle's breakup and then again showing our post about Danielle dating a married man. But Cocktailers knew first, of course, all the way back in August of last year. The Valley is heating up again. Darkside Danny makes an appearance...but is it really just when he drinks that he acts like this? We are starting to question that. And why Lala and Janet's situations are NOT the same.
