I was wondering the same thing! Unless it's special, all-natural makeup or some such nonsense. |
Second and third husband, actually. |
I do think it is faked. --having 2 kids also have it (notwithstanding the being around horses as the reason claim) --seeing she has energy for things (I.e. Her claim she hasn't been running around for 3 years and LVP brought up the scavenger hunt from 2 yrs ago.) ---and this clinched the hypochondria: http://nypost.com/2012/10/31/model-resilience/ quoting, "The fourth wife of music producer David Foster — and the newest member of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” — says she broke her back in three places while giving birth to son Anwar 13 years ago." I think SHE thinks she is ill (hence the oral surgery, breast plant removal, stopping of Botox), but it is in her mind. I also think her having a "health care advocate" I is essentially a scam artist praying on her by helping feeding her "medications" and overall coddling her. |

Lisa Rinna is 100% correct about Yolanda - there is definitely a lot of attention-seeking involved with Yolanda's behavior. You can see how defensive Yolanda got regarding the lunch/dinner thing.
|
But what does that prove? Wouldn't most people get defensive if they are feeling attacked? |
Completely agree. It was hard to watch. I can't imagine treating a "Friend" that way. I really respected Kyle last night. She basically said, look my friend isn't perfect but she's my friend. And that's how it should be at that age. Who are these women expecting complete perfection from their social friends? Bizarre. Personally I think Rinna and Eileen come off as looking nutso. |
|
I 100 percent agreed with Rinna's assessment that all of their hands are tied in terms of questioning ANYTHING Yolanda says or does. She's sick so if you are her true friend, you are never to question anything she does or says even if inconsistencies appear or things don't make sense. That seems like a really high bar for friendship.
In the real world, if I was Rinna I would just distance myself from Yolanda. But it's TV world. Bringing this up is a lose-lose. |
Eh, I think you're not unraveling all the layers of this. They're on a TV show and Vanderpump is trying to make Rinna look like a major asshole by bringing up the Yolanda issues to millions of people. Or at least that's Rinna's impression, right or wrong. It's a bit beyond my friend isn't perfect. The implications of doing these kinds of things are exponentially more massive than in a typical real-life friendship. |
Completely agree. They have to walk on eggshells where Yolanda is concerned, because she's sick. Or "sick". Regardless, I would hate having to constantly be on pins and needles around someone like that, in case they got offended. Then you're always the bad guy. |
The problem is that Rinna is a self admitted people pleaser. This makes it nearly impossible for her to think for herself. She needs to grow up and make decisions about what she does and does not do herself. It's a total bore to watch a bunch of grown ups whine that someone is trying to manipulate them or make them behave a certain way. Just don't do it if you don't want to. BTW - Eileen has turned into a real ass. |
| BH has always been one of my favorite franchises and I just can't even watch it anymore. NOBODY CARES about real or imagined health drama, Bravo. Not with Brooks, not with Yolanda. A season full of in-fighting about some issue we are only about 10% privy to is not interesting. I can't watch it this season, it bores me to tears. |
My sentiments exactly!! It has gotten so boring that I don't want to watch anymore. Felt the same about OC, though BH was always my favorite. |
I thought the Brooks thing was good TV. It didn't feel like a plant story. The Yolanda storyline is a snooze. BH is not good anymore. Hopefully this is a low tide, like the Aviva NY years. |
|
I've been wondering why 3 of their shows have the same storyline.
Brooks heath issue Yolanda health issue And, I hear that Bethanny is going to have one too.... What are they thinking? |
I mean I guess middle aged people do start to have them but let's be real, we aren't watching these shows to see ourselves reflected back. I don't care about Bethenny's ovarian cysts or Yolanda's "Lymes." I want to see Jill Zarin ice skating in a dance costume, Ramona taking a pregnancy test on a yacht at 50, etc. |
