Cocktailers who are coming to Fan Fest — send us pics and tips! DM B or hit the Send Us Tea button at bravoandcocktails.com all weekend. Last BravoCon you gave us Shep talking smack and Lindsay Hubbard keeping the peace between Tom Sandoval and his ex, and we'll be ready. We start with the email we got about Kristen Doute and Luke, who the streets say have split. Nothing is confirmed and we're rootin gfor them. Next Gen NYC is updating their cast. Who's in and who's out?  Gia Giudice's restaurant is getting slammed online for being adults only. We both come down on Gia's side on this, even as moms. But there's one key piece of info that puts us on the same side. Could RHOC go on pause? And is Bravo soft launching Lindsay Hubbard for a move to RHONY? We're skeptical about this rumor, and share a few reasons why. And we're hearing more and more about a possible new franchise show at Bravo and possible new cities. Last, Bronwyn from RHOSLC is spotted on a flight, the model showing up in Kyle Cooke's videos, and our feelings about Tia from RHOP.  This week's episode of Cocktails and Gossip is brought to you by our sponsors: -Quince: Find the fall pieces you'll reach for most at Quince.

I Choose My Beginning: A Story of Courage and Activism https://amzn.to/4j14o11 The Last Girl: My Story of Captivity, and My Fight Against the Islamic State https://amzn.to/4dwNaVF Nadia Murad was just 21 when ISIS attacked her village in northern Iraq. She was taken captive and endured unimaginable abuse before she escaped and went on to become one of the world's most powerful voices for survivors of genocide and wartime violence. A Nobel Peace Prize laureate and human rights activist, Nadia first shared her experience in her bestselling memoir, The Last Girl. Now, in her new book, I Choose My Beginning, she explores what it means to move forward and build a life beyond her past. Oprah and Nadia talk about the difference between surviving and healing and why she continues to speak out for the victims of the Yazidi genocide who are still missing. Nadia also opens up about finding love, getting married and creating a life that includes both her activism and her own happiness. Human rights lawyer Amal Clooney joins the conversation to talk about their work together seeking justice for ISIS crimes against the Yazidi people. 00:00:00 - Welcome Nadia Murad, author of “I Choose My Beginning” 00:05:40 - Why she chose to speak out 00:08:52 - Nadia wanted to rescue her niece 00:12:00 - Winning the Nobel Peace Prize 00:15:00 - Perceptions of survivors 00:18:00 - Online criticism 00:20:50 - Why Oprah admires Nadia 00:23:20 - Meeting Amal Clooney 00:27:00 - Cases for Yazidi women 00:31:30 - What Amal learned from Nadia 00:35:30 - Life in the refugee camp 00:37:35 - Falling in love 00:41:30 - Thousands of Yazidi people still missing 00:43:45 - The aftermath of war 00:51:00 - Nadia declined an operation 00:53:50 - Survival is not the end 00:56:00 - Building a new life Follow Oprah Winfrey on Social: https://www.instagram.com/oprahpodcast/ https://www.facebook.com/oprahpodcast/ https://www.instagram.com/oprah/?hl=en https://www.facebook.com/oprahwinfrey/ DISCLAIMER: Please note, this is an independent podcast episode not affiliated with, endorsed by, or produced in conjunction with the host podcast feed or any of its media entities.

We talk exclusives for the first half of the pod! Including a new show that's been greenlit, what's been happening with Jesse McBee and his wife, Alli, plus we're going rogue from what everyone else is saying about Amanda, West and filmig iIn the City. Plus, we heard why CT wasn't in the Bahamas, and the "love child" Southern Charm rumor got a little louder this week. Whitner, we have a proposition for you.  B educates Amanda on the phenomenon of "Will Diggers" or "Senior Chasers" who try to manipulate senior citizens to gain an inheritance. Here's the link to the country song B talked about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKpQRjj_WbU The Real Housewives of Potomac premiere was a banger. Robyn is back and won't give Shmaren a moment of peace. Wendy tries to throw Eddie under the bus from her $200k G Wagon. And we are so sad about Tia...did she know? We have some theories about what might have been happening behind the scenes. Then the premieres. Potomac came back loud: Karen is out of jail and nobody in our DMs is happy she's back, Wendy Osefo is talking about the indictments while pulling up in a G Wagon, Robyn is not giving Karen a minute of peace, and Stacey and Ashley and the rest of the women drop something about Tia's husband at a picnic table that we are still thinking about. Did Tia already know? We disagree on that one. And on RHONY, the old Sai is back and Amanda thinks she's a hypocrite. We get pretty heated about this topic...

Tracy is with us this week, and she's breaking down the Virtual Reali-Tea Awards. Huge thank you at the Tristate Cadillac Club for hosting us at a genuinely wild night. Tracy tells all: who she met, who was actually letting loose, Kyle Cooke behind the DJ booth, Carl Radke with his shirt off, the Countess closing out the show, and which Bravoleb is even better looking in person. But first, Cocktailers, it's Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Do your self exams and get your mammograms. Whitney Rose was partying at the awards without a care in the world, and her attorney officially filed for divorce the next morning. We have some interesting theories about that whole situation, including a DM about exactly where Justin was spotted last weekend and the company he was keeping. Vicki Gunvalson is very angry at us, so come down this rabbit hole with us that ends with Vickiherself calling us liars. We've also got tea on where Carmella stands, and what's happening with casting for next season, if there is one. Plus RHOA has rolled up to Baha Mar and our Cocktailers are on property, of course. We have reports from the flight, the lobby and the resort. Is CT actually there? The new Southern Charm trailer has everyone flipping out over a love child accusation, and our Charleston people did not disappoint.  This week's episode of Cocktails and Gossip is brought to you by our sponsors: -Cozy Earth: Head to cozyearth.com and use our code COCKTAILS for an exclusive 20% off home and sleepwear! -Nutrafol: With Nutrafol Strand Serum, your length goals are officially in reach.

Happy first birthday to one of our youngest Cocktailers, Baby Beau! This week's Zoom was one for the books...you never know what's going to happen on a Cocktailer Zoom and this one did not disappoint. We're watching Ciara on Dancing with the Stars ad we're so proud to see her doing so well. Are cameras for In the City up? And will West and Amanda be on the show? We tell you what we know plus have some firsthand tea from someone who saw them at the Yankees game. Apparently even Kyle Cooke is interested in that tea, because he reposted it. We're hearing some rumors about Whitney and Justin from RHOSLC - let's just say the streets are talking. We know B is no fan of Whitney's but should Whitney take all the blame for the explosive fight with Quai on the trolley? Smother Mothers...do we consider ourselves Smothers? And last but not least, we're not really surprised that Bronwyn didn't tell the whole truth about her previous marriage....   This week's episode of Cocktails and Gossip is brought to you by our sponsors:    -The Lowline Hotel and Leeward Restaurant: Cocktailers!

Halloween tangents: One of us did racy costumes in her 20s, one didn't, but both are trying to bring the racy costume back. Also, a reminder that the Cocktail Party Zoom is this Tuesday the 29th at 7pm ET. Podcast exclusive: Katie Ginella posted a cryptic "karma" reel this week, so we took it to an OC source. Listen to hear what we're hearing. Plus the Discord debate we want your take on: why is Katie catching heat for gloating when Janet Caperna did the same thing about Danny Booko and Nia Sanchez leaving The Valley and nobody blinked? West Wilson has a new show, and has been spotted with Amanda Batula. Kenny and Whitney got engaged in Italy with a People spread, and we're keeping an eye on Kenny, who might be showing shades of bridezilla — ask him about the pink flowers. Over on RHONY, the new women are coming out swinging at their own marriages: Hailey Glassman on why she married Ruben, Daisy's Craigslist-and-Raya arrangement, and the Jessel versus Erin showdown that sounded extremely rehearsed. Real Housewives of Salt Lake City has a new face (not Meredith) - we are liking Ashley Quai. Whitney Rose and Justin are still living in the same house, and Bronwyn Newport's model boyfriend Brandon has everyone talking. We've also got two exclusive emails out of Salt Lake: one about an OG whose new "boyfriend" is reportedly on her payroll, and one about a blonde OG who is furious that Bronwyn got Traitors over her. Amanda did a little research on what an ayahuasca retreat actually involves, and we're interested but too chicken to try it.

The RHOSLC season premiere was this week and we are both weepy, teary messes. It was a beautiful tribute and look inside how all the housewives reacted and also supported Mary. Rest in Peace, Robert Jr.    And RHONY was another banger. Erin vs. Jessel and why we see it differently. A moment of appreciation for Erika. Our conversation about Martha Stewart and Daisy turns into: How do celebrities retain their makeup artists? Seriously, Cocktailers, we are curious about this. Tell us what you know. We're hearing about what we can look forward to for the next season of RHONY. We wrap up the pod by talking about the Next Gen NYC finale part 1. We disagree about Liam, and do we think Georgia has a future on the show? B has an interesting theory about why Riley and Ariana are actually not speaking.   This week's episode of Cocktails and Gossip is brought to you by our sponsors: -Bellesa Boutique:EVERYONE who signs up to our giveaway wins a FREE spicy toy or gift card for toys! https://bbvibes.com/cocktails #bbpartner -Quince: Find the fall pieces you'll reach for most at Quince.

RHONY is back, baby. We feel like we got the yacht after this episode. From the Carole Radziwill homage to Carrie Bradshaw to the Martha Stewart cameo right off the back, we think we are going to have a lot to look forward to as fans. While we're happy that Sai is sharing more about what was really going on in her marriage, we can't help but give her the side-eye for not being honest with us all along, and we're really questioning her motives for becoming Jessel's bestie. Hailey Glassman was perhaps the biggest surprise of the show: not at all what we were expecting and we are loving the kookiness. Are CT and Phaedra for real? As much as we love them together, we've got our suspicions and will tell you why we both feel this way. Todd Tucker is not worldwide, but he's releasing a new documentary about his divorce. We would like one Cocktailer to go see this movie and report back to the rest of us. And how his other new movie release is related to some RHOA casting news that we're hearing. Last but not least, could Steven McBee's ex-girlfriend Allie be getting her own show? We're hearing some rumors. NOTE: Amanda accidentally listed Allie's last name as Eckhart. Allie's last name is Eklund, and we're sorry for that mistake, especially because we're both big fans of hers!   Thank you to our sponsors, Bellesa Boutique and Nutrafol for sponsoring this week's episode of Cocktails and Gossip.   Bellesa Boutique: EVERYONE who signs up to our giveaway wins a FREE spicy toy or gift card for toys! https://www.bboutique.co/vibe/cocktailsandgossip-pod #bbpartner Nutrafol: Give your hair the support it needs.

Rest in peace to Gloria Steinem. We thank her for advocacy for feminism and human equality. Funny story, Amanda was a missing person for about 16 hours and learned what it was to have an Italian Mom and Jewish Mom worried about her. Danny and Nia will not be on Season 4 of the Valley. We weren't surprised...and could Lacy become a full time castmember? Brittany was granted a temporary restraining order, and Jax fires back by filing for his own. This is a big hit to Jax's plans to get back onto The Valley...and Lori K's efforts to rehabilitate Jax' reputation. Podcast exclusive: We got an email in our Send Us Tea inbox that we haven't posted yet...but since we're just among friends here on the pod, we read it and talk about why we haven't shared it yet. Amanda Batula and West Wilson went to yet another wedding last weekend, but there was a little controversy. Cocktailers knew first, of course. This led to a convo about wedding etiquette, and B and Amanda both had slightly different perspectives on it.    This week's episode of Cocktails and Gossip is brought to you by our sponsors. -HomeServe: Join the millions of customers who trust HomeServe.

We start with a tribute to Dolly Parton, who we sadly lost on August 25th. We share a funny story about her that we hadn't heard before...and talk about the way that she fought the patriarchy, yet never considered herself a feminist. We will miss you dearly, Dolly. Big news in Beverly Hills. We're hearing Leah Remini is also joining the cast! We're also hearing this is the heaviest salary year ever for RHOBH...what do we think this means for the show and for other Bravo shows? And, in other casting news, we're also being told that Scheana will join the cast of The Valley for Season 4. Does this mean someone else on the cast has to go? We think it might. We get a lot questions about Lindsay and Carl from Summer House. Are they getting back together? Here's what we know. KJ has been seen with Remi Bader...while we knew who she was we found that a lot of Cocktailers didn't, so B gives us a little more information about her background and career. We relive the Baby Sister saga and Amanda teaches B about the "formula" that tells you how much younger of a person you can date. We don't make the rules, Kyle. Will West and Amanda be on In the City? We share our thoughts on that and why it would make sense. Last but not least, Farah Aldjufrie is expecting a baby boy and announced who the father is. But Cocktailers knew back in July after she announced her pregnancy.    For those interested in donating to Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, which gifts books monthly to children from birth to age five, free of charge, visit https://donate.imaginationlibrary.com/   Thank you to our sponsor, Caraway for sponsoring this episode of Cocktails and Gossip.

We open this week by remembering Hayden Panettiere and talking honestly about postpartum depression and anxiety. Speaking on it should never cost a woman her job, and Amanda shares her own experience with postpartum anxiety for the first time on the pod. The Send Us Tea inbox has been working this week. Podcast exclusive: we're hearing names for the next season of The Traitors. Contracts are not signed and this is all subject to change, but we like what we're hearing. We also break down three separate emails about what Bravo's Housewives slate looks like heading into late 2027 and 2028. New cities, new casts, and what show is likely going on "pause".  Plus, what's going on with RHOBH filming? And we've got the eight women reportedly asked about the next Ultimate Girls Trip. Then Amanda puts on her Legally Blonde glasses for a look at McBee Dynasty and how timing is everything and is starting to make a lot more sense. Apparently wife-swapping is more common than we knew. Next Gen NYC is so good right now. Following up on the Jax/Brittany/Lori mess, we got a slightly ominous email about the timeline...

Tasha Beg, pop culture and astrology expert joins us this week! We're in eclipse season for the month, and Tasha tells us what this eclipse season means for all of us, and which signs will see some activation at the end of the month. And of course, we want to know what's in the charts for our favorite shows and for our favorite Bravolebs, including which Housewives are looking at some big changes astrologically. Tasha also sees some VERY interesting things coming up in Amanda Batula and West Wilson's charts starting August 28th into early 2027. And if the Summer House casts' lives all seem a little chaotic, well, it's true and it's coming out in the charts. Tasha tells us who she's seeing relationship changes for, and who she sees money coming up for in the next year.  Podcast exclusive: B is hearing about a new Bravo show being cast. If you are interested in a reading with Tasha, she is generously offering Cocktailers $25 off a 45 minute reading if you use code COCKTAIL.

B and Tracy went to the Real Housewives Roaring 20th premiere last night and tell us all about the night's shenanigans. Who they met, what they talked about, who was best dressed, and highlights of the night. Who on Summer House is making out with who? And is there a possible new Summer House crossover with another franchise? We are both confused and amused by Jax's fake Smartwater campaign. It took us out that Smartwater actually made an official statement about all of it. We also have a theory about what's really going on here. Does OG of the OG, Vicki still see her daughter? We have some exclusive tea about Brianna, allegedly of course. And the Rulla from RHORI vs. the mistress circus on social media has us seated. Why is this still happening? We're truly confused. We're hearing more about the next season of Real Housewives of Atlanta...and we're not loving all the news. And last but not least, you won't hear this anywhere else...did Angela Oakley from RHOA film an episode of Wife Swap? And we're hearing that another surprising Housewife will also be filming.   This week's episode of Cocktails and Gossip is brought to you by our sponsor, Quince.

B went to the House of Stassi premiere party and met the cast - she spills all the details. Plus, our thoughts on the first episode. In the City is over and the second reunion episode had some juicy tidbits. Are Lindsay and Danielle friends for a reason or a season? Is Bravo going to let Eoin get away with calling Yvonne an "effing idiot" not once but twice? And we have to talk about Amanda and Kyle's sex life. Or lack thereof. We are flabbergasted. Why is Real Housewives of Orange County making Amanda sad? And we have some tea on Vicki's kids' relationship with each other. We do a mini-deep dive on the lawsuit that was filed against Leva's company that alleges the bartenders weren't paid minimum wage...if this is true, Leva could be facing a large financial fine, not to mention significant legal fees. Last but not least, we have some HOT tea about Real Housewives of Beverly Hills casting.    This week's episode of Cocktails and Gossip is brought to you by our sponsor, Nutrafol.

Our thoughts on Chelsea Handler's public letter to her family. Angie K and her husband, Shawn, are reportedly separated - we tell you everything we know. There's controversy in Charleston, South Carolina. We're hearing that Southern Hospitality will have another season, but that Leva may not be invited back. What we know about that and the reported beef she has with a couple of cast members. Part 1 of 2 of the In the City reunion aired this week. We have thoughts on what Amanda says, and a theory about the whole "timeline" controversy. Should Lindsay have "let the mouse go" with Whitney and Kenny, or was she justified? And we are so excited to have a new Housewives franchise - Real Housewives of London has finally premiered stateside and these ladies are rich, honey. We miss Ladies of London but we're all in on this show...the cast definitely has our attention, including one member that we're side eying already.   If you're curious about joining Cocktail Party, our membership community where you get the hottest tea first plus all kinds of extras, check us out at bravoandcocktails.com/join and use code MYTREAT to get your first month for only $5.
