On the positive side, Joanna does seem to be very concerned, if a little misguided, about animal rights. Apparently someone sent Marta an ANONYMOUS VIDEO of animals cruelty and it really opened Joanna’s eyes. My eyes would have been opened to what crazy-ass ex-boyfriend was sending Marta anonymous videos of animal torture, but I suppose attempting to help stop animal cruelty is also a good reaction.
Joanna also gets pretty fiery about celebrities who just lend their name to animal rights, but don’t actually do anything about it. She’s all, “Show me. Show me what you do!” Show me what YOU do, Joanna! Get your ass to a puppy mill and pull out some defenseless creatures living in their own filth, and I’ll try and forget that you think posing topless in a merkin is doing anything but making me nauseous.
In other nauseous news, Lea and RJ are making Roy, forthwith referred to as “Daddy,” a welcome home banner. In one of the more staged sequences I’ve seen in awhile, Lea greets Roy with a very Parisian kiss kiss on both cheeks, and RJ has to be coaxed into hugging his dad. The first part of the segment was actually nice – Lea explains that normally she and RJ accompany Daddy to wherever he practices, but they weren’t able to this time because of the gala. Daddy’s exhausted, and while Lea does insist that he attend the gala, she refuses to burden him with anything else. It’s nice – they really do seem to have a good family. I like them for ten seconds, but then all three of them (yeah, they finally got to RJ) start in about how SAD it was that John Goodman was convicted, and it’s not fair because everyone in Palm Beach thinks he’s Public Enemy No. 1 and he never stood a chance of getting a fair trial. Guys? He IS Public Enemy No. 1. I play devil’s advocate all the time and even I don’t see how you could spin this dude.
I do respect Daddy’s very delicate toeing of the line – he doesn’t actually come out and claim Goodman’s a saint, but he does make a point of the fact that the community in Palm Beach was pretty tainted and the defense was neither able to get the venue changed or the jury sequestered. I’m actually totally with him on that. But then RJ claims that the cops perjured themselves and that the judge is a liar, and Daddy gives his son a high five and calls him “perceptive.” Another Golden Boy who thinks he’s above the law is born!
But, enough child time has been had, so after Freda brings in a cake to welcome Daddy home, RJ is sent to the kitchen for his dinner. With the housekeeper.
I’m just so… sad.
Commercial!
We’re back and checking in on Lisa as she “works” really hard at getting everything ready for the lingerie party. When I say “work,” I’m referring to her running around with a dayplanner giggling and yelling for Daysy. Hahaha! Parties are hard!
If you like it, spread it!:

I figured Joe Francis was saying that either Joanna slept with Mohamed Ali or Mohamed from BH, Lisa Vanderpump’s friend, works for me either way. How come Joanna calls out Adriana and Alexia for “bullying” Karent, but when she talks about KK – that’s not bullying? I hate that the word bully gets tossed around like it’s nothing.
I loved Marisol this episode!!
Can anyone tell me where those 800 people were during Lisa’s party?. It looked a lot like parties I used to throw (I mean people standing around in the kitchen, getting drunk, and talking sh… about each other
) There was a random guy with a backpack standing outside in one of the scenes. I guess even backpackers didn’t care to stop by…
The party looked so trashy but I guess what else can you expect from the party, to which people show up with their buttocks hanging out, and Joe Francis is in attendence? I think that the only reason Lisa picked the theme was so she can show her (enviable) body in a slutty outfit.
I just hate those stupid charity events those women ( Housewives) organize. They try to look like they give back to the society, but they are only making sure that their social calendars stay busy. “I’ll invite you to my charity ball, and you’ll invite me to yours. Oh, we are so charitable” Blech. Instead of spending money on the venue, champagne, and food, give it directly to the people in need. But we know they won’t, because no one will hear about it.
Aliens rock…as a person on a board of a charity, we throw an event that costs 10k, but we raise 30k. So the event helps raise money that we couldn’t have raised on our own…
Just my two cents….
Oh, Alejandra, I wish “THIS GUY” had a link attached to it so those not in-the-know could get there and see what happened. Tragedy. I hold no ill-will toward Roy, BTW. He’s got to earn a living and people need guys like him to defend them. NEWSFLASH: Not everyone charged with a crime actually did it. But this one damn skippy did!
Back to reading. Can’t wait to get your take on the Black family’s reunion. Holy uncomfortable, Batman. Wow. That was just so…odd.
Sigh. Too tired to finish the last couple of **magical**pages (me likey recap.[grin]). Perhaps more tomorrow.
However I must say I think Karent proved herself to be a double dealing POT STIRRER FROM HELL! Damn! SHE asked if they’d slept together, and when he tells the truth (not even being sleazy about it, either), she rode her broom around the venue (the faster to find Joanna), and once with her wasted no effing time in tattling like a kindergartner. Aaaand she kept on doing it. I know that woman has some redeeming qualities…I just know it! She’s really gotta haul them out soon or hire a thereapist to teach
her how to suppress the majority of her personality. Then she just might be tolerable.
Although Adriana is working MY last nerve lol.
Tired.
Karent really forced Joanna’s hand by bringing Joe over and putting her on the spot. She could have pulled her off to the side and let Joanna contemplate how she wanted to handle it. I think Joe probably did sleep with her. He’s a sleazeball and was looking to start drama but he’s not stupid. He gets in so many conflicts and legal disputes with far greater stakes that he isn’t going to risk being exposed as a liar over something so inconsequential. He was so smarmy that I never really doubted him whereas Joanna seemed like she was initially more bummed that he had revealed it and then worked herself into a contrived anger cause she was put on the spot. Karent may have had good intentions but she really exacerbated the situation. Initially Joe only said he dated Joanna, which is not an inherently bad thing to say. Karent then asked if he slept with her and thus put the info on camera.
Hah yeah I dont think Joanna actually had sex with Francis, maybe hooked up in some way but I don’t think all the way. Marta on the other hand… I think she did!!
Wow Karent is not going herself any favors. At least she has a buddy in Jo though.
Parties are hard! So is going on vacation. Don’t you remember when Camille had to lift a pencil and write down all of the things for one of her 4 nannies to do before they left? Gah!
No wonder Joanna likes Karent. They are the same gossipy shit stirrers.
Joe Francis – eww. Marta is going to bring you down Joanna.
Alejandra – thanks for the shout out. I know she is bothering some of you, but I love Adriana and how upset she is getting about Karent.
Oh and Joanna, running an art gallery and a magazine are considered “jobs”. You are the one who doesn’t have a “job”.
Labowner, I thought the same thing. I actually liked this series because all the women but Lisa and Leah have jobs. I actually give Leah a pass because her event probably takes 3-4 months to put on and to raise that much money is awesome.
Joanna does know the Christian Loboutins are made from leather….right?
Oh and Joe Francis is there for an hour or so and even he has figured out Karent is a shit stirrer. How sad is your life in JF is calling you out?
No of course not Classy. Besides she probably sees nothing wrong with them because other parts of the cow were used for various reasons. It’s the same with vegan hippies who smoke. I am so above eating and wearing animals, but I have zero issues polluting the air they breath.
There are vegan hippies who smoke?
Labowner, did you see Joanna’s explanation about how she can wear leather? BS! That is something people made up so they could get away with wearing leather jackets, shoes and purses.
If you don’t think that any animals are raised for their leather you’re stupid.
