Speaker 1: My feeling is this.
Speaker 2: I feel like allegedly, the fact that Eva filed first,
Speaker 2: and the fact that Michael said I still want to
Speaker 2: save my marriage. I don't think Michael did anything. I
Speaker 2: think Eva allegedly wants to move on from the marriage.
Speaker 1: I think Eva may want something different.
Speaker 2: Stay tuned, we'll be right back after these quick ads.
Speaker 2: Welcome to Reality with the King. It's me Carlos King,
Speaker 2: the King of Reality TV and one of the most
Speaker 2: sought after executive producers in reality television with over ten

Speaker 2: so much going on in the world of reality television,
Speaker 2: especially at Bravo, like Bravo, Bravo, Efing, Bravo and my.
Speaker 1: Denise Richards boys.
Speaker 2: We're going to talk about Eva marself filing for divorce
Speaker 2: from her husband. We are also going to talk about
Speaker 2: all the Van Da Pump Rules saga. But I could
Speaker 2: not do this alone Today I am joined by my
Speaker 2: friend who also just happens to be a fellow producer. Okay,
Speaker 2: at entertainment tonight. Yes, I'm talking about Anthony Domine.
Speaker 3: Hello, Hi, Hi, thanks for having me, Carlos. I'm so excited.
Speaker 3: I'm very excited for this.
Speaker 2: Oh I I'm more excited than you are, because you're
Speaker 2: going to spell all the tea about vandam pump rules.
Speaker 1: I cannot wait.
Speaker 2: But before we get to that, Sierra hit the siren
Speaker 2: breaking news. I did not see this coming, but let's
Speaker 2: talk about it. Eva marcel I know, Eva the Diva
Speaker 2: America's Top Model winner. Yes, former Atlanta Housewives, current cast
Speaker 2: member on The Real Housewives Ultimate Gross Trip, not only
Speaker 2: season two but the upcoming season four, has filed for
Speaker 2: divorce from her husband, Michael Stirling recently. So, Anthony, what
Speaker 2: is the teach out?
Speaker 3: I mean, to be honest with you, this was a shock.
Speaker 3: I did not see this one coming. I feel like
Speaker 3: I had no rumblings. I did not hear any rumblings.
Speaker 3: No one was saying anything. I mean, you know, you're
Speaker 3: in the Housewives world. People talk people like you could
Speaker 3: see on screen first of all, and on screen these
Speaker 3: two were like sick as Steve together on the same page.
Speaker 3: There was never any drama. As soon as the story
Speaker 3: broke that she filed, I text everyone I knew related
Speaker 3: to her, associated with her, did you know anything? Everyone
Speaker 3: was shocked. No one saw this coming. So I am
Speaker 3: like you and the fans flavergasted by this one, like
Speaker 3: did you see this one coming? No?
Speaker 2: And like you, I kind of always get a little
Speaker 2: you know, INSI t but I'm going to I'm going
Speaker 2: to gag you.
Speaker 1: I had no idea.
Speaker 2: Drew and rap were divorcing, Okay, I was shocked by
Speaker 2: that weight were you?
Speaker 3: I No one, no one fully like tipped me off
Speaker 3: that this was happening. But I heard a couple of rumblings,
Speaker 3: and then I wasn't shocked when the whole finally went down.
Speaker 3: I mean, come on, he went to Tampa for a
Speaker 3: few days because he needed to get away, you know,
Speaker 3: all these things he was doing. He didn't want to
Speaker 3: adopt her son. I mean, that was just like very
Speaker 3: obvious that that wasn't going to be a good situation.
Speaker 3: So that one I wasn't talked about. But ev I
Speaker 3: was blown away by listen.
Speaker 2: I wasn't surprised they had metal issues meeting on jew
Speaker 2: and Rap because, like you said, we saw that play
Speaker 2: out on the house Spostle Atlanta. But I didn't hear
Speaker 2: any rumblings in these Atlanta streets that they were divorcing.
Speaker 2: But that just goes to show you, child, I'll be
Speaker 2: in my closet minding my business, despite which'all believe.
Speaker 1: So when it comes to.
Speaker 2: Eva and Michael did not see this coming, especially because
Speaker 2: on the Real Housewives of Atlanta, her very short two
Speaker 2: seasons on the show that is not shade is truth,
Speaker 2: they appeared to be very happy they got married on
Speaker 2: the show. He adopted her daughter, who she names Beans
Speaker 2: as a nickname, and he was running for like senator
Speaker 2: or mayor of Atlanta something child, and now.
Speaker 1: He's running to the courthouse. Now he is now.
Speaker 2: Trying to save his marriage.
Speaker 1: So this is the tea.
Speaker 2: Eva filed for divorce. But this is the gag of
Speaker 2: the gag gag gags. She wants primary custody of her
Speaker 2: kids were their kids because he did adopt her her
Speaker 2: first daughter from her previous relationship. They have one child together.
Speaker 2: She wants primary custody. Micros Thling revealed that he wants
Speaker 2: his wife back.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he released a statement saying that he is going
Speaker 3: to be fighting for her. He wants his wife back,
Speaker 3: like you said, So it seems like she's done. Something
Speaker 3: clearly happened, and I believe she had posted a couple
Speaker 3: of days ago on her Instagram story and was like
Speaker 3: I'm smiling although I shouldn't really be smiling right now,
Speaker 3: and that was like the inside. Yeah, because she filed
Speaker 3: I think on the twenty third, so this is like
Speaker 3: over a week ago. So this isn't like she filed yesterday.
Speaker 3: It's just that people just discovered that she filed. And so, yeah,
Speaker 3: she was being a little like shady on the ground,
Speaker 3: but no one really caught on because you didn't know
Speaker 3: she was going through a divorce or she filed for
Speaker 3: the divorce. So she does this, then he releases a
Speaker 3: statement saying he's fighting for the marriage, fighting for her.
Speaker 3: So seen something tricky happen, And I don't know what,
Speaker 3: but I think people can read between the lines.
Speaker 1: And what lines are you reading in between?
Speaker 3: Anthony? Oh no, no, no, no, I'm not getting in
Speaker 3: trouble over here. But I will just say I find
Speaker 3: it okay. Usually when people are divorcing and the statements
Speaker 3: are released, one will file, then the other one will
Speaker 3: file because they just want to both have a filing in.
Speaker 3: And then they release statements that are usually we're working together,
Speaker 3: or we're just going to be moving on for our family,
Speaker 3: or the relationship's broken. Like her statement was like I'm done,
Speaker 3: and his statement was I am fighting for this and
Speaker 3: fighting for my wife. So clearly he did something like
Speaker 3: she wouldn't be doing this if you know, if she
Speaker 3: did something right, I don't know. Maybe have you heard anything?
Speaker 1: No, yeah, exactly, yeah, No.
Speaker 2: Look that cameracross very shady like Chroloe.
Speaker 1: You know something?
Speaker 2: What big about our raid drops Anthony. They know that
Speaker 2: I tell them the truth.
Speaker 1: I don't lie. If I don't want them to know something,
Speaker 1: I'll let them know. Like, look, I know something, but
Speaker 1: I can't tell y'all. So I'll say this.
Speaker 2: I did speak to someone in the mix, but this
Speaker 2: person and myself just came up with what we thought
Speaker 2: happened based on the statements being released from EVA and
Speaker 2: separately from Michael.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna tell you my opinion. My feeling is this.
Speaker 2: I feel like allegedly because Michael is an attorney.
Speaker 3: So I know I know. That's why I'm I'm like, so, I'm.
Speaker 1: Gonna tell you my opinion.
Speaker 2: Yes, the fact that Eva fiult first and the fact
Speaker 2: that Michael said I still want to save my marriage.
Speaker 1: I don't think Michael did anything.
Speaker 2: I think Eva allegedly wants to move.
Speaker 1: On from the marriage. I think Eva may want something different.
Speaker 2: I think Eva, who's been amongst this Hollywood elite for
Speaker 2: a very long time, you know, the first black winner
Speaker 2: of American Next Tomado, Eva being in script show, she
Speaker 2: has a hit show, all the Cointmental BT, plus she's
Speaker 2: won The Ultimate Girls Trip two and four. And I
Speaker 2: feel like Eva may have thought that dating the nice
Speaker 2: guy then marrying him based on her prior relationship that
Speaker 2: we know according to court documents, was very disturbing, to
Speaker 2: say the least allegedly, and she woned a safe environment
Speaker 2: for her daughter at the time, who was just she's
Speaker 2: a single mom and now this beautiful boy that she
Speaker 2: has with Michael, and Michael is a very nice guy.
Speaker 1: I will say this, I have heard.
Speaker 2: Nothing but great things about Michael Sterling being a great citizen.
Speaker 1: The people I've spoken.
Speaker 2: To have all said, you can't find a nicer guy
Speaker 2: than Michael Sterling, and you can't find more of a
Speaker 2: great father than Michael Sterling. I think Eva allegedly just
Speaker 2: wanted to possibly try something different because based on who
Speaker 2: Eva has dated in the past, none of them have
Speaker 2: been Michael Sterling child, not a politician, an attorney. A
Speaker 2: few have been bad boys, a few have been very famous,
Speaker 2: and I think Eva thought being with the good guy
Speaker 2: was going to serve her forever. And I believe that
Speaker 2: Eva wants to date again. My opinion all alleged.
Speaker 3: No, I think that's a good opinion, and I think
Speaker 3: like the core document might back that up because she filed,
Speaker 3: which we said, but she also feels that she wants custody,
Speaker 3: but she wants child support, but they should be able
Speaker 3: to like split, like he should contribute towards the kids medical, dental,
Speaker 3: hospitalization expenses. And then when it comes to assets, she
Speaker 3: wants to equitably split everything, and whatever they acquired in
Speaker 3: the marriage and debts that they wrapped up, they also split.
Speaker 3: So it's not like she's saying I want you to
Speaker 3: take everything, or I'm taking everything or anything like that.
Speaker 3: So it does seem like that's pretty amicable, which adds
Speaker 3: up to like what your suspicion is, but who knows.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: No, Anthony, You're right, and listen, this is no shade
Speaker 2: to former or current housewives who are either divorced or
Speaker 2: are divorcing. Nine times out of ten is a messy divorce,
Speaker 2: and the wife wants it all.
Speaker 1: And she wants she wants everything.
Speaker 2: The fact that even Eva's petition seems to be very amicable,
Speaker 2: let me to believe that again, allegedly, this is her decision,
Speaker 2: that Michael did nothing wrong and that she just wants
Speaker 2: to go out and they bad boys for my opinion, child.
Speaker 3: So here's my question. Do you think there's a possibility
Speaker 3: for her to return to Housewives of Atlanta? Because my
Speaker 3: take is I thought she was a great housewife. Agreed.
Speaker 3: I thought because she's stood up to Nini, Nini didn't
Speaker 3: like her and that created all this drama. And I
Speaker 3: think that they really didn't give her a fair shake
Speaker 3: on Housewives of Atlanta. She now has a resurgence of
Speaker 3: possibly being single because she might go through this divorce.
Speaker 3: She's a single mom, she wants custody for three kids.
Speaker 3: She's finding herself again. She got her teeth done, which
Speaker 3: she talks about all the time. She's happy. Hey, she
Speaker 3: talks about it all the time, so I'm just gonna
Speaker 3: put that in there.
Speaker 1: What did she say about getting her teeth done?
Speaker 3: She's I believe she said on Girls Trip Ultimate Girls Trip.
Speaker 3: She was talking about getting them done and smiling and
Speaker 3: all that stuff.
Speaker 2: I like a housewife who's honest about any former surgery.
Speaker 3: You mean that one's pretty up. I mean she had
Speaker 3: a beautiful smile before, but then you get like the
Speaker 3: perfect Veneers. So I just hope her and her Veneers
Speaker 3: making an appearance on Housewives of Atlanta. That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 3: I think she's a great housewife. She didn't get a
Speaker 3: fair shake, and she read Nini for filth and Nini
Speaker 3: couldn't handle it, And that's one of my favorite moment.
Speaker 2: Yes, I agree, I don't think she got a fair shake.
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna tell you something Anthony that I haven't
Speaker 2: told anyone. Oh okay, So I read it to Eva
Speaker 2: the Diva after her first season of Atlanta Housewives as
Speaker 2: a friend of I'm a fan of hers, she's a
Speaker 2: fan of mine. We follow each other on Instagram. She
Speaker 2: asked me, she said, what do you think about me?
Speaker 2: On Atlanta housewise. I said, you want the truth? She said, bitch, yes,
Speaker 2: I said, you're holding back.
Speaker 1: I said, I.
Speaker 2: Need WB upn Eva back, baby, I need Eva, who
Speaker 2: was smoking a cigarette on the back Patty on Tomato
Speaker 2: reading The Girls for filth. I said, as a fan
Speaker 2: of yours, I said, Eva, I literally watch everything you do,
Speaker 2: all of your unscripted shows, your scripted shows, your guest appearances.
Speaker 2: I am the quintessential Eva, the diva fan, and I
Speaker 2: feel like you're not giving the audience.
Speaker 1: I E me too, what we want.
Speaker 2: We want Eva to read the Girls, and I will
Speaker 2: say this. She understood that she had her reason for
Speaker 2: holding back at the time, but she promised me. She said, look, girl,
Speaker 2: I'm going to read the Girls if I.
Speaker 1: Get a peach.
Speaker 2: I was okay, bye, And I thought that she did
Speaker 2: much better on the show and that she was just
Speaker 2: going to continue to elevate her presence. And that's why
Speaker 2: we all enjoy her on Ultimate Girls Trip, because she's hilarious.
Speaker 1: She's spicy.
Speaker 3: You're just smoking weed, and it's like, let's get high,
Speaker 3: let's have fun, let's drink like no drama, super chill.
Speaker 3: She's great.
Speaker 2: Anthony just dropped some tea. What you can't be a
Speaker 2: politician's wife smoking weed? On reality it's legal?
Speaker 3: Is it legal? And Lena, I don't know, think about it.
Speaker 2: Michelle Obama could not be smoking a blunt on the
Speaker 2: White House gardens because.
Speaker 3: I mean, here's the thing, Michael Sterling knew what he
Speaker 3: was getting when he signed up to be with Eva.
Speaker 3: So I don't think like that was a thing. You
Speaker 3: think he wants this relationship over because he wants to
Speaker 3: pursue is his career further, Like you think that's the
Speaker 3: thing like he was with like he won end things.
Speaker 3: Possibly even because she smokes weed. I don't think that's
Speaker 3: a thing.
Speaker 2: No, I don't think it has anything to do with Michael.
Speaker 2: I think it goes to show you that Eva is
Speaker 2: just returning back to the woman she was.
Speaker 1: I feel like every woman.
Speaker 2: Who dated bad boys, right, I feel like they say,
Speaker 2: let me date the nice guy. I need to try
Speaker 2: something different, And I think Micro Sterling on paper was
Speaker 2: that person.
Speaker 1: But after a few years.
Speaker 2: I think at the end of the day, you like
Speaker 2: what you like, and I think Eva likes a little
Speaker 2: a little rough riders a little Yeah, no.
Speaker 1: I get a roughneck.
Speaker 3: Like why does a statement look so guilty, Like as
Speaker 3: a publicist, if I was a publicist for him or
Speaker 3: whoever his lawyer is or whoever, why would I make it
Speaker 3: look like he cheated that I'm fighting for her, I'm
Speaker 3: doing everything I can. Why wouldn't you say there was
Speaker 3: no extra marital affair. I love her where we weren't
Speaker 3: on the same page, I'm fighting like he gave a blanket,
Speaker 3: like I'm fighting. And it seems like everyone's going to
Speaker 3: read in between the lines, like you know, we've been
Speaker 3: in this game for a long time. If you don't
Speaker 3: give him everything, they're going to run with something. And
Speaker 3: he didn't do that.
Speaker 2: Agreed, And I think that goes to show you that
Speaker 2: he's not meant to be in reality television. He I
Speaker 2: think Michael Sterling is a regular person who just lives
Speaker 2: his life for his family and his career. And to
Speaker 2: your point, he didn't think that far into the statement.
Speaker 2: I think that public declaration of I'm fighting for my
Speaker 2: wife and his mind, Anthony. I think allegedly he thought,
Speaker 2: let me get some sympathy, because nobody wants to see
Speaker 2: a marriage in and I think Michael wanted the world
Speaker 2: to know that this is not my decision.
Speaker 1: This is hers.
Speaker 2: I want to fight for this, and I think Eva
Speaker 2: allegedly may have said to him I need to try
Speaker 2: something different.
Speaker 1: I thank you, this is nothing bad.
Speaker 2: I need to leave and we shall see how this
Speaker 2: plays out. But I would love to see Eva Marceill
Speaker 2: return to the real hospital at Atlanta. I, honey, I
Speaker 2: want Eva, who's friends with Drew, because word on the
Speaker 2: street was that Drew got on through Eva, because even
Speaker 2: Drew our friends and when they gave Eva the walking papers,
Speaker 2: Drew was like, but wait, I'm here because I'm friends
Speaker 2: with Eva.
Speaker 3: Oh Drew with a fluff.
Speaker 1: Shaye shay Shade.
Speaker 3: Here's my thing. If you were in a bad marriage
Speaker 3: on a reality show, that you feel like you can't
Speaker 3: be her authentic self and you have to continue to
Speaker 3: try to convince everyone that a relationship is fine, that
Speaker 3: your husband's not as bad as everyone thinks he is.
Speaker 3: You aren't going to come through as a great housewife.
Speaker 3: You look like kind of dumb. I think if this
Speaker 3: relationship ends, which I'm pretty sure it's going to, and
Speaker 3: she comes back single and through this divorce, I think
Speaker 3: she could be a really fun, good housewife. I think
Speaker 3: she's been okay I think Ralph Pittman is his name
Speaker 3: held her back, but I think she has the ability
Speaker 3: to be a very good housewife.
Speaker 2: I cannot agree more. I want Drew and Eva back together.
Speaker 2: And yes, his name is Ralph Pittman because I made
Speaker 2: the mistake of calling him Ralph Sidora.
Speaker 1: So, Anthony, that's why you are what a journalist.
Speaker 2: Who I hate you interrupt, but stay tuned for more.
Speaker 2: We'll be right back after these quick ads. This is
Speaker 2: reality with the King, and I'm Carlos King. Let's get
Speaker 2: back into the show. Speaking of drama, Anthony, I have
Speaker 2: a confession to make. I don't watch banda Pump rules.
Speaker 3: That is completely fine. Here's a confession for me. I
Speaker 3: was a fan, watched for many years, and then the
Speaker 3: last couple of seasons have been kind of a flop,
Speaker 3: so I stopped watching. Now I'm back fully invested, like
Speaker 3: it is a resurgence. They actually doubled their viewership since
Speaker 3: his scandal has broke. I think they hit like one
Speaker 3: point two million viewers. They're fully back. Lisa Vanner Pump
Speaker 3: is cash in the checks all the way to the bank,
Speaker 3: so this worked out for her. But yeah, I mean
Speaker 3: I was like March third, the World Stop for Bravo
Speaker 3: because the story broke that Tom Sandoval, who's an original
Speaker 3: cast member, was cheating on his girlfriend are Animattox of
Speaker 3: ten years with their best friend who they brought into
Speaker 3: the group through another best friend that dated for a
Speaker 3: while and those two broke up. So basically, James Kennedy
Speaker 3: is a guy that's on the cast. James Kennedy was
Speaker 3: dating this girl named Rachael Levis. She was brought to
Speaker 3: the show a couple of years ago. She was kind
Speaker 3: of like this girl everyone picked on. She wanted to
Speaker 3: be a beauty queen. She was like a pageant girl.
Speaker 3: They all picked on her. James and her got engaged
Speaker 3: after like five years ago. She ended up calling it
Speaker 3: off at the reunion last season, so everyone was like,
Speaker 3: what the heck? This is insane. Homeworld gets herself onto
Speaker 3: the show through all the friends, so she stays she
Speaker 3: never went anywhere. So then she becomes best friends with
Speaker 3: Tom Sandoval and Ariana Maddox. They're all hanging out together,
Speaker 3: doing everything together. Then it blows up that they were
Speaker 3: having an affair for about seven months behind Ariana back.
Speaker 3: They were going to events together, they were hanging out
Speaker 3: in the house together. There's rumors allegedly that they were
Speaker 3: in their bed together when she wasn't home. Yeah, it's really, really,
Speaker 3: really bad, And I think that's why so many people
Speaker 3: are invested. Because one Arianna after like Stacy Schroeder, was
Speaker 3: the original girl everyone loved, she ended up getting kicked
Speaker 3: off the show. Arianna became like everyone's favorite. She was
Speaker 3: the fan favorite. She was really cool. She wasn't really
Speaker 3: always in the drama, and she was very good at
Speaker 3: like keeping her level head and like being you know,
Speaker 3: talking to everybody about their issues and situations and being
Speaker 3: the peacekeeper. Then like this whole situation happens and people
Speaker 3: didn't really like Tom Sandoval, her boyfriend of ten years,
Speaker 3: Like he's very much into himself, which is very obvious
Speaker 3: in the show. And I think when this happened, everyone
Speaker 3: was like, he's trash. He was holding her back and
Speaker 3: now it's time for her to like flourish. But yeah,
Speaker 3: it was with a best friend.
Speaker 2: I am active on social media and my brain jobs
Speaker 2: always tweet me and comment Carlos talk about this, talk
Speaker 2: about that. Everybody wanted me to talk about band the
Speaker 2: pumb rules, But I can't be fake because I don't
Speaker 2: watch the show. But the world did stop. It broke
Speaker 2: Twitter for like two weeks straight. But now I get
Speaker 2: why that level of scandal to where we've been together
Speaker 2: for X amount of years, a best friend of ours together,
Speaker 2: I'm having a private affairwith Now, how did this all
Speaker 2: become public?
Speaker 1: What happened?
Speaker 3: Okay, this is a good tea the drama, so there's
Speaker 3: a lot, but to be quick, Tom Sandoval is in
Speaker 3: a bay and that he pays for himself. It is
Speaker 3: a passion project that he has been talking about on
Speaker 3: the show for a while. He wants to be a musician,
Speaker 3: so he is a cover band that he does events
Speaker 3: around I think lay or other places. A bunch of
Speaker 3: the cast was there. He's performing and his phone drops
Speaker 3: out of his pocket. Someone that knows Arianis's girlfriend of
Speaker 3: ten years hands him the phone and says, here, this
Speaker 3: is Tom's phone. He must not notice it fell out.
Speaker 3: She apparently goes through the phone. I don't know if
Speaker 3: it was like I have a suspicion going through the phone,
Speaker 3: or just like, hey, what's going on in Tom's phone?
Speaker 3: She finds a video allegedly finds a video of Tom
Speaker 3: and Raquel on a FaceTime together and they're pleasuring each other,
Speaker 3: so she obviously is very upset. Mind you, well this
Speaker 3: is happening. I'm pretty sure it's the same day. Raquel,
Speaker 3: the girl he's cheating with, and Sheina she who are
Speaker 3: both on the show, are on Bravo Watch What Happens
Speaker 3: Live on Bravo What Happens Live. They ask Raquel who
Speaker 3: she would rather kiss, Tom Schwartz or Tom Sandival. This
Speaker 3: whole time, everyone thinks she likes Tom Schwartz. She gives
Speaker 3: answered Tom Sandoval and it throws everyone off, even Sheena,
Speaker 3: and she's like, why would you mention him? That's so weird.
Speaker 3: Arianna calls Sheena after they film. She's like, I just
Speaker 3: found this video on his phone. Sena then confronts Raquel.
Speaker 3: Raquel admits to it. Sena allegedly punches Raquel in the face.
Speaker 3: Oh all hell broke lose punches her in the face.
Speaker 3: They end up coming back to La Raquel files a
Speaker 3: temporary restraining order against Seena she which actually was just dropped.
Speaker 3: It was officially dropped because Raquel never showed up in court.
Speaker 3: She didn't want to move forward with it. I mean, Carlos,
Speaker 3: there is just so much that I can't even like.
Speaker 3: For two weeks this has been going on. They film
Speaker 3: the reunion, a fight almost broke out, multiple fights. Raquel Yeah.
Speaker 3: Raquel handed the documents from the lawyer saying they were
Speaker 3: dropped in the tro to Andy Cohen, who then gave
Speaker 3: him to Shina because they couldn't film together. This is
Speaker 3: the first time in a reunion history that I think
Speaker 3: of in Bravo because our straining orders in place, they
Speaker 3: couldn't film together. They couldn't be one hundred feet from
Speaker 3: each other. So they had a film with Raquel in
Speaker 3: the entire cast, and then they had to bring Shena
Speaker 3: in and film with Shina in the entire cast. They
Speaker 3: couldn't be on video camera together because of the restrainding order.
Speaker 3: It was like a mess, a mess. As a producer,
Speaker 3: doesn't that sound horrible?
Speaker 2: It is insane in the membrane. And instead of love
Speaker 2: and hip hop because Band the Pump Rules is about
Speaker 2: a restaurant, I'm gonna cop is love and I Hop.
Speaker 1: Because this is some mess? What in the love at
Speaker 1: ie hop is going on? Here?
Speaker 2: Were banda Pump Rules to where there's Butcher's big throat?
Speaker 3: Why yes, I mean the whole thing is is insane,
Speaker 3: Like as a producer, you can't ask for anything better.
Speaker 3: You don't want to see anyone get cheated on. You
Speaker 3: don't want to see a physical altercation. But you know,
Speaker 3: for ratings four viewers, it is double the viewership. People
Speaker 3: are so invested they probably just wrote their ticket for
Speaker 3: at least in other two seasons. Because the show I
Speaker 3: was told was kind of on its way out, like
Speaker 3: the ratings weren't that good as they were paying all
Speaker 3: these people a lot. The cast is huge, there's like
Speaker 3: ten plus people, so it's like a lot of money,
Speaker 3: and then this happened, So, I mean, here's something we
Speaker 3: recently broke on entertainment. They don't know the future of
Speaker 3: the show, so they just wrapped season ten. Obviously, the
Speaker 3: rings are really good, but apparently Ariano Maddox is saying
Speaker 3: she won't be filming with Tom stand of all her
Speaker 3: ex and possibly Raquel and the other cast is on
Speaker 3: arian A side. So if they don't want to film
Speaker 3: with this couple, where do you go? Like you've been
Speaker 3: in this situation before, Like if people don't want to
Speaker 3: film with people, what do you do?
Speaker 2: I don't know, give them more money?
Speaker 1: Give them listen.
Speaker 2: I have worked on shows before Portia Kenya getting into
Speaker 2: their situation. I've worked on shows where a couple started
Speaker 2: the show being married and got a divorce on the
Speaker 2: show and still have the film with each other. Right,
Speaker 2: you have to make it work, and one of the
Speaker 2: ways to make it work is to as a producer,
Speaker 2: you have to explain to them the bigger picture.
Speaker 1: But the difference with these cast.
Speaker 2: Members of Don the Pump Rules, they're young, you know,
Speaker 2: they're very young, and they may not understand the bigger
Speaker 2: picture into this, but you have to see all of
Speaker 2: this play out. I will say this, I definitely think
Speaker 2: the network is going to have a sit down because
Speaker 2: the ratings have doubled, which I don't know if you
Speaker 2: guys know this. Nobody watches live television anymore, so it's
Speaker 2: hard to crack a million total viewers live meaning the
Speaker 2: time it came on at eight o'clock until the time.
Speaker 1: Ended that nine oh one pm Eastern time.
Speaker 2: Honey, you usually get that over course of three days
Speaker 2: to have that Anthony Live over a million viewers, when
Speaker 2: prior to the scandal it was almost app Yeah, the
Speaker 2: math is math being and the math is showing that
Speaker 2: people want to see this and this is the resurrection
Speaker 2: that vand the Pump Rules needed because with the scandal
Speaker 2: of the racist allegations that I know happened years ago,
Speaker 2: it was this dark cloud over vand the Pump Rules
Speaker 2: because at one point Van the Pump Rules was the
Speaker 2: favorite show in Bravo. People love the show, and I
Speaker 2: remember being on a plane during season one and trying
Speaker 2: to like stay up and you know, and watch television.
Speaker 2: So I remember watching Band the Pump Rules season one
Speaker 2: thinking this is great TV. It just never was something
Speaker 2: that was on my radar after that. People love this show,
Speaker 2: so the fact that it has a second win, you
Speaker 2: have to make this work.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, so what happened was they were actually
Speaker 3: done filming the season, like it was over, then all
Speaker 3: this stuff happened. So Bravo was like, pick up the cameras,
Speaker 3: we're going we're filming. So for the past like two
Speaker 3: weeks they've been filming. And this all happened before the
Speaker 3: like the re union filmed like March twenty fourth or
Speaker 3: twenty fifth, forgot, and so they filmed the reunion while
Speaker 3: all this was happening. But also they're filming the end
Speaker 3: of their season, so it's like chaos going around. I'm
Speaker 3: told that they actually had to do sit down interviews
Speaker 3: one on one with Tom Sandoval, Ariana Maddox, and Raquel
Speaker 3: Levis during the reunion. It was actually filmed the day
Speaker 3: before the reunion, those three personal interviews because they wanted
Speaker 3: them to have the ability to talk before the whole
Speaker 3: cast is screaming at them and saying everything, so they
Speaker 3: could get everything they want out. And so they picked
Speaker 3: up for about two weeks. I know that Raquel only
Speaker 3: filmed one scene with Tom Sandoval. He came to her
Speaker 3: apartment after everything broke. We don't know what happened. They
Speaker 3: probably talked about getting exposed, what the relationship looks like.
Speaker 3: And then Ariana filmed with Tom after she finds out
Speaker 3: a cheat on him. And there's a promo that we
Speaker 3: haven't seen, like we've seen the promo but it hasn't
Speaker 3: aired yet where they're talking and then he goes to
Speaker 3: the counter and he's like, do you want me to
Speaker 3: get you anything? And she's like, I'd like you to die.
Speaker 3: I'd like for you to die, Like it's such a
Speaker 3: good sound bite. He's like, she's like, do you want anything?
Speaker 3: And he's like for you to die. It is an
Speaker 3: incredible SoundBite. So yeah, I mean the show is really
Speaker 3: really taken off and I don't know what the future
Speaker 3: is and needed this, brav But like you said, they
Speaker 3: can't let it go. That would just be insane.
Speaker 1: No, they're not gonna let it go.
Speaker 2: Listen, give a raise to all parties because this is
Speaker 2: the a storyline.
Speaker 1: And I agree with you.
Speaker 2: I know they picked up the cameras to at what's
Speaker 2: happening currently into the back half of the season before
Speaker 2: the reunion, but this is something to where you have
Speaker 2: to start filming like tomorrow for the new season so
Speaker 2: that you're able to capitalize on what they're going through
Speaker 2: in real time and give us another season season eleven
Speaker 2: as soon as possible.
Speaker 1: That's what I would do.
Speaker 3: I mean that's what they did, I believe with It's
Speaker 3: Beverly Hills Housewives and Salt Lake City because the Gentshaw stuff,
Speaker 3: and then with the Erica Jane stuff, they were like, Okay,
Speaker 3: we got a good season, keep going. Like I think
Speaker 3: they had a little bit of time off just to
Speaker 3: get like back to relaxing, and then it was like
Speaker 3: full blown, a full another season again, which I like
Speaker 3: because as a viewer, you want to like keep going.
Speaker 3: You don't want to like Ultimate Growth Trip was filmed
Speaker 3: six months ago and now it's coming out, and I'm like,
Speaker 3: we already know all this stuff, like you know, like
Speaker 3: sometimes that happens where we don't want this to come
Speaker 3: out in the press. We want to see it on
Speaker 3: the TV. Love.
Speaker 2: Yes, Vanda Pumburul's new season needs to happen at least
Speaker 2: three to four months after the final episode of the
Speaker 2: reunion airs. We can't wait another year. Yeah, can't do that.
Speaker 2: You need at least at the very least three months. Well,
Speaker 2: the reunion's airing in June.
Speaker 3: Okay, so I know that they're going till June because
Speaker 3: they're only halfway through their season, so they still have
Speaker 3: like a lot of episodes going and then they have
Speaker 3: two maybe a three part reunion it's not been decided yet,
Speaker 3: and then it'll it'll be in June.
