This season Real Housewives of Beverly Hills has become a cesspool of drama – the unsavory kind, not the really dishy and delightful Dynasty kind.
In the latest sad news concerning the cast members of Bravo’s most depressing series, serial fibber Taylor Armstrong‘s friends are yet again expressing concern about her drinking.
The professional drama stirrer has also, apparently been stirring a lot of cocktails as of late – so many that friends and acquaintances are urging Taylor to consider rehab after numerous drunken episodes – several of which have been included in this season’s never-ending storyline.
“Taylor’s closest friend and advisers have told her that she needs to go to rehab,” a source tells RadarOnline. “Taylor admits that alcohol has become her crutch in dealing with Russell [Armstrong]‘s suicide, and coping with the drama of being on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.”
“While Taylor doesn’t drink every day, or during the day, and she certainly doesn’t drink and drive, whenever she does drink, she gets drunk,” the source clarifies. “Taylor primarily drinks in the evenings, at home alone, and when out socializing with friends She isn’t drunk in front of her daughter Kennedy,” the insider insists.
And Taylor admits she has a problem (only one?) but she isn’t ready to address it just yet! “Taylor recognizes that alcohol is playing a much larger role in her life than she would like, but she is refusing to go to rehab, primarily because of Kennedy. Kennedy has already endured the loss of her father, and Taylor just doesn’t want to spend any time away from her, period.”
“The network bosses haven’t gotten involved with Taylor’s drinking problem, yet though,” the source alleges. “They will if they need to, but Taylor has assured them she is handling it.”
Moving on, Camille Grammer recently learned that her ex-husband Kelsey Grammer is becoming a father again with new wife and former mistress Kayte Walsh, who is pregnant with twins. Kelsey announced the exciting news after his win at the Golden Globes, apparently shocking Camille, who had no idea!
“Camille and the children had no idea,” a source close to the family contends. “They found out about it from the media. Once again, selfish Kelsey decided to do what’s best for him with no concern for his current children. He needs to stop talking about his private life in public. It’s very hurtful for the children he already has.”
Camille recently shared on Twitter that the twins came about via “in vitro” and claims she has known Kelsey was expecting for “a couple of months,” but wasn’t aware that it was twins. Now she is speaking to The Huffington Post about her feelings on the matter. “It’s so unfortunate that he still talks about private matters,” Camille mused. “It’s hurtful to me and its disrespectful to our children.”
“He’s not thinking of the kids when he’s doing stuff like that. My daughter is 10 years old, so she’s able to watch. She’s aware of what’s going on. She hears it from her friends at school, but my son is too young. He’s still only seven. Still, I think it’s disrespectful.” I quite agree Camille!
In some very interesting news concerning RHOBH, apparently after an incredibly tumultuous season that left fans frustrated and in need of Prozac, Bravo may be re-evaluating who returns for season three over mounting concerns that the storyline is alienating viewers! Is it possible that they are again responding to the fans’ opinions? Is it possible that Taylor has replaced Jill Zarin as the most hated Housewife ever?!
Confirming that casting is still up in the air, Camille recently confessed she has no idea who will be returning next year- and they are on the hunt for new ladies!
“I guess they decided who they want and I guess they are going to start casting, looking for new housewives,” Camille spilled. “They told me they were going to start looking so it wasn’t behind my back. They were like, ‘Sorry we are doing a big casting call.’ I was like, ‘Thanks.’”
“I had a good year so I would want to go back for a third season, but they haven’t asked me yet, so I wonder what’s going on with that,” she continued. Camille doesn’t hesitate to admit the news worries her, but she understands that network’s position following a season that was troubling to viewers and doesn’t fit the image the show seeks to represent.
“When you watch the scenes between Taylor and Russell, it is uncomfortable,” Camille asserts. “I think some of the viewers feel that way. I’m glad that some of our viewers are coming back around and joining the season and our viewership is up. We took a little dip because of what happened, and I think we are on a upswing, so that is really positive.”
The Hollywood Reporter followed up on the story and was told by a Bravo rep that the network does not comment on cast negotiations and no official announcement for the third season has been made!
I predict fan favorites Lisa and Adrienne will stay (provided they want to), along with Kyle – who, love her or hate her, really adds crazy drama to the line-up. Camille has emerged as a likable character this season and many fans enjoy her straightforward and humorous approach. Still, being told things haven’t been decided yet may not look good for Season One’s most controversial Housewife, but I believe she will return next season.
My guess is also that Bravo will sign on Brandi as a full-fledged housewife. I think it goes without saying that Dana will not be returning!
As for Taylor, after seeing the majority of the editing for this season I believe Bravo is well aware of her schemes and those of Russell. I think Monday night’s episode was filmed to “save face” so to speak after the network worried it would have legal ramifications stemming from Taylor’s claims of alleged abuse; and given the fan backlash, along with the very negative direction this season took, Bravo will hopefully replace her. Numerous fans have posted that they will discontinue watching if Taylor remains on the show and online petitions have emerged to remove her from the cast. At this point I don’t believe viewers are willing to give Taylor another chance to redeem herself.
I also think Kim will ultimately remain part of the cast, unless she decides to leave. Kim would be a good recurring castmate, but she obviously doesn’t have the interest or tenacity to withstand full-time filming. Viewers are heavily invested in the Richards’ sister storyline, which incidentally helped skyrocket the show to success with the Season One finale. Next season could show a rebuilding of their relationship, which would be a welcome change in their dynamic. And Kim is apparently very hard up for money, so there’s that.
Rumors have also been bandied about that Kathy Hilton is a possible contender for a spot on the show – and we know Bravo likes to get involved in family drama (see: New Jersey, Real Housewives of)! Personally I don’t think Kathy would participate since she’s never even made a guest appearance. My opinion is that Bravo should recognize what fans want to see on the Beverly Hills show and I think they need to return to the fabulous lifestyles of the rich and outrageous!
DO YOU THINK TAYLOR HAS A PROBLEM WITH ALCOHOL? DO YOU THINK KIM WILL CONTINUE WITH TREATMENT? WHO DO YOU WANT TO SEE RETURN NEXT SEASON? WHO NEEDS TO GET THE AXE?
If Trailor is on next season and Camille is not ..I won’t be watching.
Camille is a strong person on this show, and she WOULD be MISSED!
Honeybun…I completely agree with you. If they bring back Taylor or/and Dana..i won’t be watching. Those two HAVE to go ASAP! Keep Camille, her, Lisa, and Brandi together are hilarous.
This season was exhausting, should have been, ” Shady BS’s BH”. I don’t believe she was abused I think she was the abuser. I think Shady drinks and gets aggressive, which she has shown this season.. Camille and the other ladies had no chance of a story line this season due to Shady and her antics!!
Satan is waiting for Taylor with open arms! Will her lies ever stop? Take that little girl out of “Sybil’s” grip before it is too late……….
Taylor: please leave
Kim: please leave
Camille: please stay
Brandie: keep her
i don’t believe a word from taylor and would be thrilled if she was gone. because her type of drama is NOT entertainment!! it’s too real life, disgusting, and pathetic. she is an attention seeking fake and she only apologized to camille because adrienne insisted that she was the impetus for russel’s actions because taylor LIED. i for one won’t watch her use russell as her ticket—he cannot defend himself now. no matter what he may have done in life. i don’t care for brandi because she is an attention seeker as well but she’s nasty and judgemental with her behavior. everybody can see that kim has a problem and brandi’s speculation constantly is not to help but to get even. i also wish someone would force her to put some clothes on. she looks like a walking skeleton and it looks awful and makes my skin crawl.
This story is planted by taylors people for attention and sympathy. She’s an alcoholic but doesn’t drink every day, during the day, when she has to drive or around Kennedy? To me that sounds like a bored lady with no hobbies, talents, or interests to fill her time, not an alcoholic.
and there is a difference bw someone lacking self control, and a genuine alcoholic. A large group of people can grow up and choose to make better choices. For example many kids binge drink in college but then slow down in their mid and late twenties.
oh yeah, and i believe Bravo will keep her on. Try to give her another chance to redeem herself, just like they did with jill, wasting and ruining viewers time…
Honestly sounds to me like Taylor’s trying to get out of doing her contracted book promotion. She will be out there on her own, being questioned about her own written word. There’s not very much buzz about it, so the invitations for interviews wouldn’t be very high either. Preorders are lagging.
I want to see the interviews and watch Taylor flail for the truth trying to remember what lies she’s told.
I really want Camille to come back!! Why can’t they get rid of Taylor? She is nothing but annoying…..What about Kim; she wasn’t even on the show really this season, get rid of her!!!
So, here is my idea…..remove Taylor from RHBH and give her her own show…….”Taylor’s Drama Hour”
I know this sounds repulsive, but, the rest of the cast will be women who are MORE self-centered, MORE dishonest, MORE morally corrupt, MORE angst-ridden, drunker, louder, MORE obnoxious with bigger problems that they just can’t shut up about, ever. Basically, an entire cast of women who are MORE Taylor than Taylor ever thought of being. She will have to live in the same house with these women 24/7, with no escape.
Let’s make this crazy bitch walk a mile in our shoes and see how she likes it.
Camille better be back! Wow – what a slap in the face to all of us if she’s not – she went from being the most hated housewife in history to be hero and one of the most loved – who would have ever thought that would be possible. No to Dana – good grief girl get some self respect – No to Taylor – she needs to get her life in order away from the cameras – Kim in a reoccurring role I think would be better for her – Brandi – could return she turned out to be pretty funny actually – and no to Kathy Hilton – just no
Dana needs to call me……I am a broker of self-esteem and self-respect. I can provide these things for her, it is going to run around 23mil, but if she just pawns a few lollipop holders and sunglasses I’m sure she can come up with the cash. It is totally worth it, because you get to dress up like a princess in a fluffy dress and ride in a horsedrawn carriage to a French castle where you are presented with your self-esteem certificate.
Call me, Dana, call me.
If Taylor stays on, I am going to have to do what I did this season. Dvr the series, then on each episode, when Taylor appears, I fast forward right through her. She is too exhausting, and not fun to watch at all.
I liked the housewives show particularly NYC in the earlier seasons (1 & 2) when it wasn’t all about the conflicts between the women and more about their lifestyles. I’m just hoping BH won’t go down the road of NYC and get too much into entangling conflicts.
30 days of rehab isnt going to fix those ugly fish lips NUFF SAID …
@137 Maxine, why didn’t want to keep Blandi?
Taylor and all her fake crying need to go
OM to the G -! I just read the Timeline of Tays supposed abuse on several diff websites, what garbage. RT needs to publish their own timeline!!! It is indisputable evidence of her lies.
And also, I do not for one second think Taylor isn’t really drinking when she drives Kennedy, or daytime, or around Kennedy, or whatever. That ho is hitting the bottle harder than she is Dr sophy! hopefully we will see a DUI out of her soon!!!
Sadly if Bravo doesn’t “invite” Taylor back for next season she will become the next Jill Zarin. She will never really go away. If she is back for next season we all have to put up with it because let’s be honest (JANET) not EVERYONE will stop watching. If she isn’t back then poor Kennedy will continue to suffer because Taylor will go off the deep end and continue drinking to excess. Therein lies the dilemna.
guys..maxine is the old tweetmaxine..she makes stuff up as she goes along and is a major troll on all blogs. she is blocked by all…guess save here…so far.
Also, I notice that a lot of celebrities like to say they are entering rehab for alcohol abuse, like that is any better than drugs, in reality it is usually the drugs+alcohol combo. Sorry Kim we know that was your Baggie in the limo!!!! Pssshht, alcohol.
I LOVE CAMILLE this season, but Taylor, never liked her in the 1st season, even worst in the 2nd season. Get ride of Taylor!!!!
Kim really adds nothing to this show. It is depressing watching people self destruct on tv. Let her go and fix herself away from the cameras, please.
Please bring back Camille and DUMP Taylor! I think Kathy is afraid of what kind of edit she would receive!
More “barf” news – on Radar OnLine – big article with Dr. “Sofa” says Taylor is a role model of abused women – we saw enough of that crap on the show. It’s getting so bad that I also fast forward anytime SHE is speaking or is in one of HER drunken rants. Makes me want to put some OK on her ass!!! (sorry to the peoples in OK)
Why not throw out all the housewives, except Brandi, lol? There are surely a lot of interesting housewives in BH beyond this group. It will be like a first season to them. Veterans know the routine and get more boring and predictable in later seasons.
OT, sorry, but what someone else said is true about the Pic Post from yesterday, @RT, there appears to be a Virus that gets on anyone’s PC if U click on it….Love RT, just a word to the wise…
I don’t think Jill or even Taylor could hold a candle to Michaele Salahi as the most hated housewife ever.
what the ?? they should get rid of taylor not camille! taylors time has to end class it up not trash it more and brandy puts the fun in it too love to see more fun and forget the fake tears omg taylor is still milking her ex hubbys death for all it worth omg and if they do get cathy in return would be great oh and did everyone forget she was divorcing him and moved out to boot omg hope to be saying by by taylor
Keep Camille! She’s awesome. Funny in a low-key way and surprisingly no-nonsense. Taylor is tired. I don’t believe a word out of her mouth and if the other women are afraid to show what they REALLY think of her just because the man she left offed himself, then it’s a bore! She’s a total lying con artist who deserves to be exposed and the current ladies, for whatever reason, won’t do it. I don’t believe she was abused. I fully believe she was the aggressor in her relationship w/Russel and that she drove him into bankruptcy and then suicide. She’s a horrible person who will go straight to hell when her time comes. Get someone on the show who will or get her off the show.
Actually, Taylor gives The Devil Wears Prada a new name.
Toward the end of the bathroom scene where Kim was crawling around on the floor, Ken told Kim to put something in a towel, she wanted to put it in a shopping bag. Any speculation on what “it” was?
Taylor needs to go! She is ALWAYS with the waterworks! She needs to get herself together. Same with Kim. She needs to go as well! And I’m SOOO tired of her saying,”I’m a Virgo!” All the time! I take offense to that, considering so am I. I sure do NOT act like her!
@hotdog21. Taylor losing Kennedy to a responsible parent, even a foster parent would be better for Kennedy than being raised by the social climbing media whore.
They need to get rid of Kim and keep the rest. I want to see how broke Taylor makes ends meet… really. A lot of people are struggling right now, and we would like to see how she manages to pay for housing, and everything else with the little bit she gets from filming, shell have to do more to maintain a beverly hills lifestyle.
I dont know why people wouldnt watch the show. Taylor (though I dont like her) has MADE this season, I cry during almost every episode, because regardless of which parts are real or fake, the situation as a whole is very sad, and Im sure millions of conversations about domestic abuse has resulted from this season that would have never taken place.
I hated Camille last season but now I love her. I liked Kim last season because people were picking on her and I usually feel attached to the underdog but now I dont like her because she is crazy and annoying. I LOVED Lisa last season, but now I dont like her so much – she has pulled a NeNe Leakes – being super likable the first season, gaining a ton of fans from that, and letting it all go to her head and turn into a total self-righteous bitch. I still like her a little but if she keeps on the NeNetude, by season 4 Ill hate her too.
Camille Adrienne and Brandi: If these three leave I will NO LONGER BE WATCHING.
While she is drinking in the evening at home “alone”, where is her daughter? Her responsibilities exceed bedtime. And trust me, kids know what goes on after bedtime.
Why on god’s green earth woulld they keep the Kim sister? She adds NOTHING to the show.. Even when sober, she is a shallow woman even more so than her sister or even the ghastly Taylor.
I like to watch Camille and Lisa and a little of Brandi. Taylor did bring the drama and I think we would have seen the truth come out but Bravo is blocking it with their idiot Dr. Sophy making sure no one with a brain was allowed to speak. If they don’t mind slandering a dead man, why are they actively preventing the women from asking questions ? Why did they force that inappropriate assinine group session at SUR to shut down further inquiry? I would honestly love it if Taylor came back and Bravo let it be real. But they won’t for some reason. Does anybody know why? RT, meinnyc, Bryan???
If that joke remains on for another season I will not be watching. Taylor is a poor excuse for a “Housewife” to begin with unless Bravo is trying to show us how NOT to act in a marriage. I have also read the abuse timeline and it does not add up. OH! and the years of abuse without a bruise or a scar? Funny how she didn’t have a mark on her for years until she was called a liar then magically she gets a bruise across the face at the same time she had lasik eye surgery! Come on, now I feel bravo is just looking at the viewers as though we are idiots. Sure there are many out there buying into her lies and those are the ones that seem just as desperate for attention as Taylor is! Notice how the posts defending her ALWAYS include their personal story. I feel for the women who HONESTLY have dealt with domestic violence, but her story is bogus. I read a comment the other day that stuck with me and it really made sense. What abused woman who is petrified of their husband goes around telling complete strangers what he allegedly did to her? When lisa said the FIRST time she met Taylor she told her all about the abuse. ABUSED women do not do that. They are ashamed, blame themselves, and want everyone to think their lives are fine. She is a known liar, scam artist, con and a fraud. Bravo needs to get rid of her and her kiss ass sidekick Dana. Clearly birds of a feather flock together and Shana was the one who brought the pathetic name dropper in the mix to begin with. Those two are vile!
Shame on you Bravo for allowing this mess.
If Camille goes, I go. Plain and simple. Bravo, keep Camille, Brandi, Lisa (maybe Kyle). Ditch Dana and “Tray”lor-trash immediately. They are scum.
Taylor is the reason I haven’t watched this season. I tried to watch but she has ruined the show, always blubbering and playing the victim. She is a drunken mess and a bore. I would possibly watch again if she was gone. They should have just scrapped this season.
Also, I would keep Kyle, Camille, Lisa, Adrienne, and then find two new Housewives to add to the mix, I don’t really enjoy watching drunks, so getting rid of Taylor and Kim would be fine with me. Thanks for the weekly Recaps RT, I can keep up with the latest without having to endure Taylor.
We are all SICK of Taylor. Tired of the Victim act. Reality is Taylor came to Beverly Hills 8 years ago looking to for a sugar daddy. Problem was Russell wasn’t rich enough for her or the lifestyle she dreamed of. The real nightmare she has been dealing with since she got to Beverly Hills was that Russel wasn’t able to keep up with her demands. Now that he’s gone, she wants anyone with money to adopt her? Watch out Lisa Vanderpump. I don’t think you need another Cedric. Is this the kind of a role model we want for young girls? The role model she claims to be? She is pathetic! And yet, I’m sure she’ll find another idiot to marry. Bravo, it’s time to cancel her show! By keeping her on the show, you are contributing to delusional behavior & the world doesn’t need anymore of these women. Please bring us some true Role Models for next season!!!
It would be unfair to take Taylor off without the chance to turn around on the show, and show the viewers that you can bounce back from hard times and big fights.. keep them all! Even Dana because it’s hiliarious when she tells us how expensive her stuff is
Taylor has got to go, the audience is not responsible for her child. Taylor needs to find a job, other than grifting. Our children turned out fine raised in other places than BH.
The same I’d true with Kim, she needs to grow up and get a job like we all do. They shouldn’t keep her on out of pity. When I watch this show I want to see their glamourous lifestyles and I love it that they’re all friends. When the cat fights started in New York is when the show wasn’t fun anymore. Take a lesson Bravo!
