With so many cities in the franchise and headline-making stars, it can be difficult for Real Housewives fans to keep up with the biggest gossip each week. That’s where we come in to help. Last week, the biggest Real Housewives gossip included a surprise hookup, legal issues, and a Housewife potentially jumping ship to another city. What happened this week? Here are the biggest Real Housewives stories from the week of May 30, 2025.
RHOSLC star Britani Bateman sued by former mother-in-law for $100k
Real Housewives of Salt Lake City “friend of” Britani Bateman showcased her messy personal life on Season 5. This week, the polarizing RHOSLC star was in the news for some serious drama with her former in-laws. Britani’s former mother-in-law, Sandra Underwood, is suing her for $100,000.
According to the lawsuit, Britani approached Sandra for money after her former mother-in-law sold her home. Sandra agreed, but with understanding that it could “request to be withdrawn at any time” and would be “returned without objection.”
Sandra claims that the funds were placed into a family trust created by Britani’s dad. But Britani allegedly used the money for “her own personal benefit.” As a result, she was “unjustly enriched.” The lawsuit claims that “Britani willfully, maliciously and through intentionally fraudulent conduct, also converted Plaintiff’s funds and now refuses to repay the funds.”
Reportedly, Sandra reached out to the singer in March to try to settle things out of court. However, Britani did not return the money.
Sandra’s legal teams also cited her medical needs and limited income as reasons for Britani repaying the money. She requests Britani pay back $100,000 plus interest “out of simple decency and morality.” Sandra also requests getting reimbursed for legal fees.
Real Housewives of London cast confirmed … and they’ve got some scandals
After months of speculation, the Real Housewives of London cast was officially confirmed this week. The newest Real Housewives are Juliet Angus, Juliet Mayhew, Panthea Parker, Amanda Cronin, Nessie Welschinger, and Karen Loderick-Peace.
However, once the cast list dropped, some juicy Real Housewives gossip and scandals about the ladies came out. To start, two of the Real Housewives of London have celebrity exes. Amanda Cronin dated Andrew Ridgeley of Wham! last year. After the breakup, she spilled the tea to the Daily Mail. Amanda, who claims to have the “longest legs in Belgravia,” also said it will make a juicy chapter in a future memoir.
Additionally, former Ladies of London cast member Juliet Angus dated Full House star Bob Saget. Juliet’s continued to make headlines in the years between her appearances on reality TV shows. But not always for good reasons. Last year, Juliet was slammed as “out of touch” for her reaction to getting robbed.
Additionally, cast member Panthea Parker is a millionaire whose friends include J-Lo. Karen already has Real Housewives experience after appearing on Real Housewives of Jersey. Nessie appeared on the Great British Bake Off. The Real Housewives of London look like an interesting group!
Phaedra Parks returns to RHOA
Phaedra Parks made her official return to Real Housewives of Atlanta this week. She addressed the missteps that got her fired in the first place. But that didn’t stop her from quickly slamming her new castmates. Phaedra’s past with Kenya Moore doesn’t mean she’s Team Brit Eady. On the contrary, she didn’t hesitate to throw shade Brit’s way. She told Porsha Williams that Brit’s a “girl about town … a woman about the city, and countries too.” Porsha burst out laughing at the shade. Frick and Frack are back!
Additionally, Phaedra’s RHOA return came with a press tour, where indicated she’s back for the long haul. Also, she threw shade at the POTUS.
That wasn’t the only gossip that came out of Atlanta this week. We also learned more about the root of Porsha and Shamea’s feud. We’ll have to keep watching RHOA Season 16 for more!
RHONJ alum Dina Manzo’s daughter Lexi’s shocking claims
Real Housewives of New Jersey kids Gia Giudice and Lexi Ioannou reunited for a podcast episode this week. Dina Cantin’s (formerly Manzo) daughter Lexi made some shocking claims about her former stepdad Tommy Manzo. In case you forgot, Tommy was sentenced for allegedly hiring a hitman for Lexi’s current step dad David Cantin. But that’s not the only reason Lexi spoke out about his behavior.
Lexi told Gia that Tommy was overly affectionate towards her, though “never inappropriate.” But she said she was “very uncomfortable” with it. Lexi explained that neither of her parents are super affectionate, so, “To receive it from a stepfather is kind of, like, extra strange when you don’t receive it from your actual father.”
Tommy’s affection for Lexi continued in a surprising way even after he and Dina divorced. “He had this, this, like, weird obsession with me,” Lexi claimed. “For years, people would tell me that he kept my room exactly the same because he thought I was going to come back. I can’t even begin to understand why he would think I would ever come back there.”
Additionally, Lexi expressed how the Manzo family disappointed her with their lack of support. And she slammed Dolores Catania for writing a character witness letter for Tommy’s trial. RHONJ may be on pause, but the gossip and drama never stops!
Stay tuned for next week’s news highlights!
