Legal Team, this week we’re stepping outside Bravo for a two-part deep dive into the world of Mormonism, polygamy, and Sister Wives. We’re unpacking the origins of polygamy within the LDS Church, how it’s treated under modern law, and how Kody Brown and his wives managed to stay on TV despite its illegality. Next episode, we’ll dive into the Sister Wives lawsuits themselves and answer your biggest questions about this fascinating family and so much more. 

 What’s on the docket? 

• The origins of polygamy within the LDS Church 
• How Mormonism and polygamy intersect in pop culture and reality TV 
• The legal definitions of polygamy vs. bigamy 
• Which U.S. states have the harshest — and most lenient — laws against polygamy 
• Background on Kody Brown, his faith, and the Sister Wives family dynamic 
• How Sister Wives navigated legality to stay on air

Legal Team, this week we’re diving into Cardi B’s latest courtroom battle — a case simple in theory but overflowing with drama. From Emani Ellis’ flimsy claims and her lawyer’s chaotic tactics to Cardi’s raw, credible testimony that only strengthened her case, this trial had it all. With rare jury questions, a plaintiff who left empty-handed, and Cardi’s post-trial reminder that deep pockets don’t guarantee payouts, this one set the record straight.  

What’s on the docket?  

• Who is Emani Ellis and why she sued Cardi B  
• The allegations vs. what actually played out at trial  
• The plaintiff’s chaotic attorney and his own legal baggage  
• Cardi’s authentic testimony and why it boosted her credibility  
• The jury's questions to the witnesses 
• Why the case fizzled with no payout for the plaintiff  
• Cardi’s post-trial message and public remarks

Trigger Warning: Discussion of abuse.  

Denise Richards cannot seem to catch a break when it comes to the men in her life. In this episode, we’re breaking down her messy divorce from Aaron Phypers and his long list of lawsuits, including one for misrepresenting he could cure cancer. Let's just say, his “healing through frequencies” routine is falling apart and we see right through his tabloid interviews.   

What’s on the docket?  

• Denise and Aaron’s relationship timeline and RHOBH history  
• Aaron’s lawsuits for debt, fraud, and exploiting a cancer patient  
• Their divorce battle and why Aaron representing himself complicates everything  
• Aaron’s petition and eyebrow-raising income and expense claims  
• Denise’s temporary restraining order and her declaration of abuse 

If you or someone you know is experiencing abuse, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233).

Legal team, today we’re switching things up and diving into the strange, controversial world of lie detector tests. From their 1920s origins and ties to Wonder Woman’s lasso of truth to infamous pop culture moments and why most courts won’t accept them as evidence, we’re unpacking the history, science, and drama behind the lie detector test — including its recent cameo on RHOC.
