WATNW- Adrienne Maloof

Ali B

One of my favorite housewives from Beverly Hills has to be Adrienne Maloof. I will never forget her opening scene in the first season. She was congratulated by President Barack Obama (king!!!!) for doing some type of charity work and she was so proud of herself. On the other hand, her husband said he didn’t want her to hang it in their house because he was a republican. Cut to her interview she flat out said she was a democrat and didn’t care what her rich friends thought of her. Ever since then, she’s been an icon in my eyes, and it doesn’t hurt that her and her family own The Palms in Vegas.

Adrienne has had some very legendary moments on her time on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. The one time Lisa Vanderpump tried to teach her to cook and she full on washed a raw chicken with soap and water. That is a scene that lives rent-free in my head. Or her amazing Maloof Hoof.

Since her time on RHOBH, she has started her successful Drinkade company, a drink committed to warding off hangovers. Checking in on her instagram, she has been very active. Supporting President-elect Joe Biden, thanking frontline workers in the pandemic, advocating for mask-wearing, and posting throwbacks of her time on the show. She has definitely been a favorite of mine since her first line on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

Let’s raise our crystal glasses of Prosecco to Ms. Maloof. Possibly one of the most down-to-earth housewives to ever be on television. Cheers!

WATNW- Carlton Elizabeth

Ali B

It’s that time again! Let’s dive in to the self-proclaimed witch from season four. Yes, Carlton Elizabeth only lasted one season with the women and was the wackiest one to grace our screens.

In addition to her one season stint on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Carlton was a model and actress in the 90’s and also made a cameo on Lady Gaga’s ‘G.U.Y.’ music video in 2014. She was married to producer David Gebba. On their time on RHOBH, they seemed very in love. Her witchy ways were no match for him, even though she wore a pentagram around her neck, there was not bad blood in between the two, until 2018 when they split.

Even pentagram-less, she is still intimidating

If I’m being honest, after the first or second episode I watched with her, I fast forwarded through all of her parts. She was not someone who seemed to bring anything that great to the show. She’s some sort of witch? Okay…. so is every other woman who does drugs and makes candles on this earth. Being a witch is not a personality trait, but I don’t need to be stricken-down by her powers so I’m just going to leave the rest of my comments to myself.

Scrolling through her instagram, she is still obsessed with her children, Mysteri, Destiny, and Cross, and she’s still living her best witch life. Her posts consist of her supporting the BLM movement, LGBTQAI+ community and her recent travels to various tropical places.

She was never my favorite, but she sure did make her mark on the RHOBH viewers. Let’s throw up our chalices filled with red wine and toast to Carlton. Creepy, yet consistent. Here’s to you, Carlton.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills: Secrets Revealed

Ali B

Oh yes, it’s that sweet time of year when we get a “Secrets Revealed” episode, or as Kyle Richards calls it, “The Sh*t You Thought You Got Away With”. Dorit and her Gucci ice cubes, Garcelle wraps up her first season, Denise gets tongue tied and Erika bonds with her new friend, Sutton, over being southern.
First things first: we have to applaud Garcelle for successfully finishing the season with these crazy white women. Personally, I think Garcelle is an amazing addition to the show. She seems to simmer down the other women in the times things get a little heated and I live for it.
Of course, I cannot talk about RHOBH: Secrets Revealed without mentioning Bravo, Bravo, F*cking Bravo. As explained by Kyle, the saying “Bravo, Bravo, Bravo” was a lighthearted way the women would tell the network they were still touching up hair and makeup between replacing camera batteries. Apparently, Ms. Richards didn’t get the memo. How could she think that the network would just cut out an entire dinner table fight because of one saying? Unfortunately, Bravo had other plans for Denise and aired it anyway. And poor Lois in the background of the fight. Lois is too much of a goddess to sit with these women and hear them fight over Dorit’s glam agenda.
The last thing I have to bring up is: Sutton is fun? As we saw in Secrets Revealed, Sutton turned 48, but it seemed like her liver just turned 21. In all honesty, I am not a huge fan of hers, but she did make the show a little extra fun to watch with her little southern way of living. I’m sure we’ll be seeing more of her in Season 11.
So let’s raise a glass of Reposado to honor Denise in her quest to fix her very public downfall and to Garcelle for completing her first season as an official housewife of Beverly Hills!
