Goodbye, Ramona! Did We Really Get A Reality Reckoning?

56 minutes

The Reality Reckoning is here! This week the much anticipated Vanity Fair article, “Inside the Real Housewives Reckoning That’s Rocking Bravo,” was published. But did it really blow the lid off this viral movement? In this episode, Kiki breaks down allegations of abuse, potential lawsuits against Bravo, and why Bethenny Frankel is leading the charge. And it’s goodbye to Ramona! How allegations of racism ended in the former RHONY star getting fired. Later, Kiki is joined by Ryan Bailey, host of the podcast So Bad It’s Good, to talk about what's next for reality TV and why he is suspicious of Bethenny.
