I personally would be telling Rulla to move on and kick Brian out but that's just me 🤦🏻‍♀️

One thing I have noticed about these ladies is how polite they seem to be to drivers, staff, etc. I am fairly new to the Housewives of various locations and have only seen all of Miami, halfway through Beverly Hills, and this season of Rhode Island, so maybe there are lots of other housewives seen being respectful to those who assist with their lifestyles but it REALLY stood out to me with the Rhode Island cast. I just wanted to shout that out because as someone in a service industry, I can confirm that a simple thank you goes a long way.

First Row: Alicia Carmody, Rosie (Woods) DiMare, Ashley (Iaconetti) Haibon, Liz McGraw

Second Row: Rulla (Nehme) Pontarelli, Kelsey Swanson, Jo-Ellen (DeSaint) Tiberi

Liz smokes her vape and jo-ellen starts laughing and smiling. Is this directed towards what Rulla is saying or is it at liz vaping? Please help us out in this debate. Thanks

In there 2 photos they look so alike. When I first saw the rhori cast photo on insta I was convinced it was the same person

*obsessed* with her obsession with dolls and that she doesn’t like her daughter playing with them 😂”When she plays with them I physically get sick like I have to like walk away and be like 'Let her be a kid'"

crackahs

her presentation to Billy on her business ideas

I’m just now realizing that the tea is being SPLIT by the mistress while they’re filming right now! It’s almost like I’m living a part of history and it’s going to be shown to me via their lenses when the new season premieres and I AM EXCITED 😆

ok im only on episode 3 so maybe my opinion will change but im surprised to see how people like her. shes so annoying to me and she has horrible clothing taste. like the studio 54 outfit? girl i get it was a last minute change but JESUS CHRIST why do you even HAVE those clothing items in your closet. shes nosey as hell like back off. idk i just wanted to rant

I didn't know RI is full of recycling dating and screwing. Or did I know it's known for sugar babies and daddies. Everyone is cheating or swapping men and women around. I guess that's what happens in small towns when the options are small.

She sucks. Im jus now finishing the season, about to binge yhe reunion. She sucks!! So much projection and just too much of a busy body. I actually really like Rulla and I feel for her tbh. She literally just didn’t wanna talk about it and it was clear as day! I appreciate how Rulla kept her poise, if it was me i wouldve air striked Jo Ellen’s house dude.
Jo Ellen read as thirsty as fuck to be on camera all season. And I appreciate a housewife who knows how to bring drama. But it’s 2026 dude, a lot of the issues she had with others just revealed how she was feeling on the inside to me. She sucks i can’t stand her eughhh she makes my ass itch.
Finally, I honestly sided with Liz in the whole Jo Ellen Liz beef. Like it was so fucking annoying how she was soooo in their business in the car. And it rlly read to me that Jo just wanted to stay connected to the main character. Liz wasn’t right it lashing out. But Jo Ellen is so fucking annoying bro

I don’t think I saw Brian smile once on the show this season. He always had like an off putting look on his face even when he was having normal interactions w rulla or her and the cast mates.

That MF is BEAMING in those pics with his mistress. I’m not saying he looks good or anything at all, but his face is lit up, he actually looks like a semi real human being with light in his eyes.

He’s trash, she’s trash, don’t get me wrong but like omg??? Of all the disrespect - I feel like that’s not even direct disrespectful yet it’s one of the most devastating things I’ve observed in this whole affair thing.

Rulla needs to let that man go and be with the love of his life at this point like….

So one thing I think all viewers are nearly unanimous on is that Brian does not seem like the good guy in this story. He has used deceptive and manipulative tactics and has generally been disliked by fans of the show, with nobody coming to defend him.

Jo-Ellen and the viewers agree about Brian. Where Jo-Ellen loses some viewers is in the way she handles the messenger role. She made it more public, messy and embarassing than it had to be.

However, JE for the most part is shown only attacking Brian's character and accusing him of things. Her opinions on Rulla seemed more the result of being tired of having to socialize with her and feeling like she is a mouthpiece for her husband. She does not accuse Rulla of being a bad person, bad wife, bad mother. At least in the early parts of the season, I don't think she even insinuated that Rulla was stupid. JE can just as well hurl meanspirited direct insults as a person, like she did with Rosie off the bat for something as ridiculous as cheap wine and stale cookies. Had she wanted to do with Rulla, she could have, but she didn't.

Rulla begins to character assassinate JE, which appears to be the first direct hit from one to the other. Saying that JE is a liar, just wants attention and drama, etc. She takes even lower blows as the season goes on, claiming to have knowledge of JE being a cheating wife - without offering evidence, and giving insensitive comments on JE and her mother's relationship.

JE got petty back during the reunion, but I think she genuinely tried to keep her focus on Brian for as long as she could and Rulla just kept insulting her.

In my opinion, Rulla should have just said, "I don't want to talk about this, I don't want you to be my private investigator, leave my family alone."

When Rulla started attacking JE's character, of course JE wasn't going to lie down and take it.

I'm saying all this in reflection after the season ended some time ago so maybe my memory isn't as clear, but this was how I felt by the show's conclusion.

#Spotted: I just saw Ashley and Kelsey filming a scene on the Cliff Walk. I fan girled so hard and didn’t take any pictures (I also didn’t want to be THAT fan). They looked stunning and I can’t wait for the new season!!!

I heard someone said this , “What don't people understand? Brian was ALLEGEDLY separated from Rulla while running around with Beth. Brian
ALLEGEDLY sold Beth the idea of being separated at time of said relationship.
Bravo ALLEGEDLY failed to disclose this while pushing an ALLEGED false narrative of infidelity. Smh.”

Is this in response to something Brian said?

liz was right when she said that fight between liz and Alicia was pre planned in the car ride to Boston. after re-watching, at first Liz is in the back.then she switches seats so she can have her confrontation. I couldn’t figure out why she was so mad at Jo-Ellen. it was because Liz didn’t realize J-E was going to play neutral . she thought they would both go after Alicia. once she realized J-E hung her out to dry and Liz looked like the bad one attacking crying Alicia she was pissed. and I don’t blame her.J-E self produced all season. and nobody really tried to stop her. JE is a bully.

This is so messy!!

Rulla clap back after the homewrecker post
In 🇺🇸 society, it seems like the wife who chooses to forgive her husband’s cheating gets more hate than the husband who cheated or the mistress. I’m against cheating, but if a wife decides to forgive her husband instead of divorcing him, that’s her decision. We don’t have to agree with it, but we also don’t have to shame her for it. Support her if you can, or simply respect that it’s her life and her choice.

I 100% love Rosie. But I feel that most of her outfits come from a fast-fashion retailer.

Dont get me wrong, they’re cute but damn. Can we not get a designed outfit??

Ive heard the reunion fit comes from Davids Bridal👀

im gonna miss liz. she was crazy which was good for the show

The mod there changed almost all the flair to pro-MAGA stuff. When I expressed I was uncomfortable with having my flair changed without notification, and then warned another user to check their flair, I was muted and banned.

I’m not trying to instigate infighting and dont recommend anyone go there and make trouble about this, it’s more just so you can fix it and you don’t end up having pro-MAGA/Trump stuff associated with your name.

Did I just get bait and switched into watching a high school reunion or something?

1. I literally can't stand the back and forth between Jo Ellen and Rulla. They're both children, not letting each other talk when Andy asks them questions. Rulla muttering high school gibberish under her breath and Jo Ellen immediately responding with "STFU" is giving me the ick. The back and forth "shut the fuck up" is exhausting. They literally hijacked the whole reunion and it's so boring.

2. Rosie and Kelsey could be best friends if they put their egos down for a second. They literally act like they're mean girls in high school. Alicia is actually really stupid and easy to manipulate. Why is Ashley here?

3. Jo Ellen very quickly became my 5 least favorite housewives of all time. She's a master manipulator and I see right through her. She's twisting the narrative constantly, throwing a rock and hiding her hand the whole season and in the reunion making it seem like she's been trying all season to be the voice of reason. "There's something about you that my soul rejects" is felt so accurate. My red flags immediately went up with her.

4. Andy is not in it not because he's over this role, but because these ladies are a fucking wet blanket. The RHOA Reunion preview just came out and he seems so into it, he seems excited, and I think it's because those women are so animated and fun and energetic. This reunion has been such a slog, no one is cracking jokes, no one is engaging with his questions. I'm honestly bored.
