Because it's insanely stupid. And vulgar.

Its silly but not vulgar?? LOL. Its no different then re doing the kitchen or adding a patio. Turning a den into a drinking room is strange but not vulgar or wrong. Now I think she's kinda crazy and going through a major life crisis but still.

I don't think anyone's saying it's "wrong" - but it certainly is stupid. A room devoted to drinking champagne? Because drinking champagne in the dining room, kitchen, living room, bedroom, or patio is so passe.

+100
I actually think only insanely stupid and vulgar people think something like that is desirable, or cool.

Agreed. I can think of many many things that people with money do that I consider over the top. But isn't that kinda the way it works typically, the more money you have the more self-indulgent you can be.

I'm pretty sure Charrisse and her husband do *not* have that kind of money. It seems like she's trying desperately to convince her friends and audience that she has millions to burn. Her fancy suite in Bermuda was very deliberate. People who are truly wealthy don't need to flaunt it.

I do think this won't look so hot in her divorce proceeding though.

Gizelle is on facebook live right now answering questions, if anyone is interested.

It's on the RHOP facebook page.

Does Charrisse really have all of the money she wants everyone to think she has?

The last episode where they were still in Bermuda was cringe-worthy. The polo match with all the leering guys? GROSS. And then the boat ride/cocktail party with that incredibly bizarre guy who was interested in Robyn? Talk about creepy.

I suspect those dudes were either encouraged to be or flat out wanted to be on camera.

Charrisse's absurd champagne room.

It looks so odd compared to the rest of her house. On one hand, totally fabulous. On the other, one of these rooms is not like the others...

^^^ sorry, cricket match - not polo

Karen is truly ridiculous. What on earth is she hiding about her move? And her reaction to not being the "grande dame" of Potomac anymore - priceless. She honestly thinks she's all that.

Charrisse's absurd champagne room. I was dying when she said, "I really thought it was time to spend some money on ME." Umm, your birthday party blowout wasn't enough? I couldn't stop rolling my eyes at her incredible self-absorption.

Robyn on the phone with Juan - he actually said, "I didn't hear anything you just said." Meaning he was paying absolutely no attention to her whatsoever. And she still thinks there's something there! She was actually worried that he'd be mad if she went out on a date! I like Robyn, but she is beyond clueless when it comes to Juan and to how her kids talk to her.

We get about 288k from interest yearly after a few continual investments are fed. It's plenty to live off of (especially since our house is paid off) but it's nothing to write home about. Monique may have double or triple that amount in the bank NOW but I will be curious to see what they are up to in 10 years. I've seen 17 friends file bankruptcy. About 1 in 19 college couches make 6 figures and 1 in 290 make 7 figures. All these dudes always think they can couch somewher

Sorry got cut off. They all think they can coach somewhere and be fibe. That's not the case hardly ever. Same with annoucing. My DH is a CPA but works very part time (70k a year at most) but it gives us benefits and something to keep him busy. I would say we have 40 athlete friends and the 23 that haven't gone broke have gotten crazy close. About 5 of us have been ok. It's sad but we never had money or knew anyone with a lick of it so we were vulnerable to so many mistakes. I wish I could ait down with Monique. That paster ain't no4thing but a greedy manger/agent.

Ughhh excuse numerous typos. I'm on my sons iPad and it's so hard to type!!!

Wow PP, thanks for this bit of info, very informative! I've always wondered...
