I think Yolanda felt the clock was ticking on her marriage, her age is showing more and more, and she didn't think her husband would leave a sick woman. Then he did and she said, oh well, onto the next.

I'd like to see her just strike out on her own now that she's set this nice foundation for herself as a celebrity. It really seems, though, that she sees spouse as a part of her identity.

Lisa V is really going off the deep end. She makes it seem as if her husband wants all the animals but in reality she is an animal hoarder. I don't believe they are honest about the number of animals she has collected. Fortunately they have the money to care for them. I wonder how many pets she actually has. I also noticed her daughter and son in law have distanced themselves from her and weren't enjoying their antics.

Yes, to all of the above! I find it so strange that Lisa would assume her husband would be delighted with a mini-pony... has he expressed this desire before? And then when she took a moment to call him and admit what she was up to, and asked if he'd even like the pony, he actually answered in a very serious voice that he might. I can't even imagine my own husband's reaction! He'd be incredulous - a mini-pony?? I like them, but they kind of remind me of the king and queen in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, with their eccentric and very silly (and childish) tastes.

I also noticed her daughter and SIL at the (very purple?!!?) birthday luncheon for Ken. They looked mortified when she made that crass "69" remark.

One of the best moments in RHoBH history! The horror on their face made me laugh. It was up there with crazy Dana losing her "lambo".

I do think she's sick, though have no idea with what. Quite possibly it's Lyme, since that has a reputation for being so difficult to treat. However... I felt that she went to that dinner for the sole reason of reminding everyone just how sick she is. I can't stand being around people who just want to talk about their illness, and nothing else. Here she was, at a festive occasion, and it seemed the only things she could talk about were her symptoms (the affected cough, the sweaty palms, etc.). I think she deliberately wore no makeup so that she could prove to everyone how ill she is.

I don't care one way or another if a woman wears makeup or not, but I did think that was a very deliberate and calculated choice, designed to get everyone talking about her. It's not that I don't sympathize with her for being sick. I just hate it when people appear to enjoy getting attention for being sick (her bedridden, sickly Instagram photos - who does that??).

If I was that sick, I would never have shown up at any event (especially a filmed one, duh!).

I agree with this 100%.

I know someone exactly like this IRL (coincidentally, they have lyme too). everything that comes out of their mouth relates to their illness and, more specifically, themselves. I do feel bad that they are ill but the narcissism displayed in the vast majority of their posts makes it a little more difficult to feel sorry for them. JMO.

I'm always incredulous at the self-centeredness of people like this. Yes, we get it, you're sick - but they seem to have no clue that everyone has a story of some sort and that while they may be sick, the people they're boring with their tales of illness may also be going through something awful in their lives. It's like it never occurs to them that those around them could be suffering in some way too (either personally or through some sort of family crisis). Narcissistic is exactly the right word.

10000% agree. The person I know has been lucky enough to have WONDERFUL support during her illness, I know personally that multiple people in her life send her money, do kind things for her, take her on trips, etc. yet she chooses to focus on the 'people that are unsupportive'. and constantly complains about it on social media. It's so unattractive, and yes, do they realize that EVERYONE is going through something?

He strikes me as someone who was never "cool" as a kid/teen, and is now trying to make up for that in spades. Everything about him drips insecurity. Yolanda will be better off without him.

Everything about him drips narcissism.

Doctors are really bad at catching Lyme disease. I think Yolanda is suffering from depression of the kids leaving home and her marriage ending, which would intensify any lingering Lyme issues.

Most doctors don't have a clue what to do with tick borne illnesses. You don't get cured of the illnesses. They are always there and can pop back up. I've been diagnosed with Lyme and had Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. Finding a doctor has been a nightmare. I've been treated with antibiotics but have had the illness reoccur. I don't see a "tick" doctor as the better ones are swamped and don't take new patients and there are quite a few who seem like quacks. My internist and I are trying to figure this out together. It makes it frustrating to watch people make ignorant comments about tick related illnesses when the medical community admits that we don't know enough. I don't discuss what I've been through with anyone other than doctors because of the ridiculous comments I've heard. In general, people have no sympathy for chronic illness. Yo hasn't been "cured" of her Lymes disease and probably still has symptoms. Combine that with living in La La land and the life stage she is going through is sending her off the deep end. The combo of the mental fuzziness and the idiots around her would cause anyone to be depressed. She is being hit with every stressful milestone you can have in your life with a chronic illness. God help her.

And she's all better...

I remember the first season with Yolanda she was not drinking because she was being treated for something - I wonder if it was the Lyme disease back then or if she is just one of those chronically sick people. Her personality was always a bit grating to me in that she felt the need to distinguish herself to such an extent from the other ladies. Look, I'm a Dutch farm girl, not a BH lady, I grow lemons and eat healthy, blah blah. Kind of preachy and a little rude to distance yourself from the people and the place that has treated you so well.

I really wonder if this is some response to her children growing up and leaving home.

I am so confused by the Yolanda situation. I can't tell where her sickness ends and her attention-grabbing begins. She already had a pretty attention-grabbing life, what with the gorgeous house, gorgeous children, and rich husband. I don't know that she needs to grab attention in this way - she's a statuesque, rich, exotic blonde woman. She was getting tons of attention. I don't think looking like crap in a robe in bed for months on end is a way of getting attention. it's letting the world pass you by and that's why I think there is something real going on. But she has been getting so many treatments (did you guys see that medicine closet?!?) that I think she's lost all perspective and she can't know if she's still sick or feeling side effects from the gazillion treatments she's pursuing, seemingly simultaneously.

Yikes Yolanda has got some long bony man-feet!

I don't doubt it. The attention grab at Lisa Rinna's birthday party was very revealing in my opinion. And why is she always so well put together for her appearances on the WWHL and Access Hollywood.
