(Miami, FL) On August 4, 2026, at approximately 7:00 P.M., Miami-Dade County officials were dispatched to the home of celebrity blogger Perez Hilton, following a number of calls regarding Hilton's physical and mental health. Just minutes before, Hilton had gone on a livestream on TikTok, where he publicly harmed his body with a large knife.

Before Hilton's name was unable to be searched on the app, numerous screen recordings were posted to TikTok as well as Twitter of the live stream. Hilton had engaged in joint livestreams with other creators, who questioned if the spectacle was real or fictitious. On the stream, Hilton announced the police were at his residence in Miami, Florida, moments before the live video was taken down and his page was deactivated. 

Officials arrived to find a bloodied, nude, and disoriented Hilton. Soon thereafter, emergency responders made contact with Hilton and transported him to a local hospital at around 11:30 P.M., where he was soon placed under Florida's Baker Act for an involuntary psychiatric evaluation.

On August 5, Hilton's talent managers, Dante Rusciolelli and Rebekah Kochan of Golden Artists Entertainment, released a statement explaining they were aware of the incident but had not had contact with Hilton. Later that day, Hilton's family, along with his team, released a joint statement, saying: 

Many of you have reached out with concern for Perez, and we are incredibly grateful for the overwhelming outpouring of love, support, and prayers. We can confirm that Perez is receiving medical care, and our family’s focus right now is on his well-being,” the statement read. “We kindly ask that you respect Perez’s privacy, as well as the privacy of his family, during this difficult time. If and when we are able to share any updates, we will do so with everyone as soon as we can. Thank you for your compassion, understanding, and continued support. - The Perez Hilton Team and Family.

The 54-year-old vixen has made her return to Playboy 30 years after her debut.

By Reichan Pendragon | July 15, 2026; 2:00 P.M.

Since becoming a Hollywood bombshell in the 90s, having the second to most magazine covers worldwide (coming behind Pamela Andrerson), and later transitioning into acting with her notable performances in the parody films Scary Movie (2000), Scary Movie 4, Date Movie (both 2006), Epic Movie (2007), Meet the Spartans, and Disaster Movie (both 2008), Carmen Electra seemed to have gone under the radar in recent years.

After a hiatus from the entertainment industry, Carmen Electra is making her comeback. Carmen, whose given name is Tara, returned to her modeling roots at Playboy for the first time since her May 1996 debut, shooting for the magazine's Summer 2026 issue under the direction of photographer Max Montgomery. Acting as an advisor, Electra posed in a studded leather bra over a fishnet catsuit, fisherman cap, corset belt, stiletto heels, completed with a Playboy glitter necklace. 

In her work as an advisor, Electra gave advice on tuning out stereotypes about age, enjoying life, and reinvention. She credited late musician Prince for helping her discover her identity and helping her believe in herself, as he gave her her stage name early on in her career.

In an interview on the Legally Goff podcast, Electra recalls meeting Prince at a nightclub when she was working on music with Capitol Records. After going over the late musician's home to discuss music, and being told she "didn't look like a Tara," was given the name Carmen, based on the 1954 musical, Carmen Jones. Though she had already had a demo deal with Capitol Records, Prince bought her out, and soon thereafter, the two traveled to Minnesota to work on music. Their friendship would later turn romantic when Electra was 19 years old. The two broke things off not long after due to Carmen discovering his infidelities, spawning her relocation to Los Angeles.

Throughout her career, Electra became recognizable after her appearances on Baywatch, along with her works with MTV on Singled Out and 2001 Spring Break, and her marriage to musician Dave Navarro.

Besides her uncredited cameo in the Wayan Brothers' 2026 Scary Movie 6, Electra has continued working through SKIMS and Von Dutch X Playboy collaborations.

The 20-year-old daughter of television personality Teresa Giudice has pleaded "not guilty" to simple assault after May 14th arrest.

By Reichan Pendragon | July 11, 2026; 2:41 P.M.

(Montville, N.J.) – In a press release obtained by The Wealthy Socialite, Montville Township Chief of Police Andrew Caggiano confirms that the 20-year-old college student and daughter of The Real Housewives of New Jersey's Teresa Giudice has now been charged with one count of simple assault after her May 14th arrest.

Giudice, a student at the University of Tampa, virtually appeared in Montville Township's Municipal Court, accompanied by attorney Alan Kraminsky. Giudice entered a plea of "not guilty" to the court. According to court docs, the victim (simply listed as 'L.R.' was allegedly struck in the head by Giudice, causing redness to the middle of the victim's forehead.

The newly released initials have caused speculation from RHONJ viewers as the victim's initials are the same as her mother Teresa's husband, Louis Ruelas; however, nothing has been confirmed.

The Rhode Island native and marijuana entrepreneur has quit the hit Bravo show after its first season.

By Reichan Pendragon | July 1, 2026; 4:30 P.M.

(Cranston, R.I.) – It's official, after only one season, Center Seashell Liz McGraw has announced her departure from The Real Housewives of Rhode Island. The announcement came days after the final part of the inaugural season's reunion. McGraw took to her Instagram on Wednesday, July 1, writing:

I'm full of gratitude for the amazing opportunity to appear on this show. As filming for Season 2 begins, I have made the decision to take a step back and focus on my family, my work and my passions. The RHORI cast is an amazing group of women who have created something special. I'll be watching next season, rooting for the continued success of this franchise. For now, I look forward to enjoying this little corner of the world from the other side of the camera..

The Instagram post comes as a shock as the newest Housewives installment has been a hit amongst fans and viewership alike, undoubtedly due to the breakout cast; McGraw being one of the most outspoken and controversial cast members overall, being compared both visually and behaviorally to Dolores Catania of the New Jersey franchise; ironically, the two are longtime buddies.

Although McGraw gained a positive rapport with the Bravo fanbase at the start of the season, opinions began to change mid-season due to her cunning and invalidating behavior toward castmate Alicia Carmody after Carmody revealed during an icebreaker on the cast trip to Block Island that she and her mother became homeless after her father sold her childhood home in her youth. McGraw incessantly dismissed Carmody's claim, leading to her fallout with fellow cast member Jo-Ellen Tiberi.

The Wealthy Socialite of July, Kathy Hilton, is keeping her pride after being discharged from her Grand Marshal at Los Angeles' Pride Parade position.

By Reichan Pendragon | June 27, 2026; 7:30 p.m.

(West Hollywood, CA) – On Wednesday, June 3, WeHo Pride announced that socialite and longtime gay advocate Kathy Hilton would no longer be serving as the Grand Marshal Icon at the town's Pride Parade on June 28 due to Hilton's personal connections with U.S. President Donald Trump, and an allegation of saying a gay slur in 2022.

Hilton was first announced to be the honoree in late May alongside former Los Angeles Rams Cheerleaders Quinton Peron and Napoleon Jinnies. The announcement quickly raised eyebrows and distaste from members of the LGBT community due to Hilton's past with the President's family.

In the joint statement with WeHo Pride, Hilton stated, "I am honored to have been considered for this recognition and appreciative of the support I have received from members of the community throughout the years. My reason for wanting to be involved in this year’s WeHo Pride weekend was simple: to celebrate, support, and share in the joy of a community that means a great deal to so many people. Pride is, and always will be, about celebrating and uplifting LGBTQ+ voices, experiences, and achievements."

The decision to pick the mother of Paris & Nicky was no shock as throughout her career, Hilton has been an advocate for the LGBT, with her contributions and philanthropic activities with the Elton John AIDS Foundation, the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation (since its inception), Dr. Mathilde Krim, God's Love We Deliver, and Project Angel Food.

In 2022, as Hilton was accused by television personality and then-wife of disgraced attorney Tom Girardi, Erika Girardi, of calling a DJ a homophobic slur during a taped trip to Aspen, Colorado, on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, in which her sister, Kyle Richards, is a main cast member. The accusation was stated at the reunion of the Bravo reality show's twelfth season, while Hilton feuded with cast member and actress Lisa Rinna. Girardi, a friend of Rinna, claimed that during the cast trip, Hilton angrily approached her at a nightclub and said "The DJ's an old fucking faggot," before leaving the dancefloor.

Hilton denied the claim, explaining she approached the DJ to request a song be played, to which he asked her where she was from, and after responding "L.A.", was told to go back home. Richards, Kathy's younger sister who was standing beside Girardi at the time, pleaded that she had not heard those words. 

A deep dive into actress Mo'Nique's infamous 2010 blackball…and how it all leads back to Oprah Winfrey.

By Reichan Pendragon | June 23, 2026; 6:02 p.m.

Actress Mo'Nique's career hit an all time high in 2009, when director Lee Daniels approached her to portray the supporting character of Mary in his indie film, Precious, where she acted as Gabourey Sidibey's characters' mother. Upon its release, the film began receiving major award buzz, mostly for its emotional plot and Monique for her dramatic and realistic portrayal of a cruel and abusive mother. When the movie began receiving critical praise, Daniels, along with Lionsgate, Tyler Perry, and Oprah Winfrey, all of whom acted as producers for the film, requested that Mo'Nique fly overseas to the Cannes Film Festival to promote the film. As Mo'Nique had completed all of her contractual obligations with Daniels (the film's lead producer), she declined, explaining that she was spending time with her family; a crucial decision that would take a toll on Mo'Nique's career and livelihood. 

Precious would go onto be a box office hit, and an award success. In 2010 alone, Mo'Nique would be nominated for over 30 awards, including an Oscar, Golden Globe, BAFTA, SAG, Independent Spirit, Critics' Choice, and NAACP, all of which she won. It was Mo'Nique's breakthrough as a serious actress in major films. In the years following, it was a given that Mo'Nique's appearance in film would sky rocket after such a moving performance, however, the phone didn't ring.

In the Spring of 2010, Mo'Nique would receive a personal phone call from Oprah Winfrey, asking if Mo'Nique would like to come on her talk show alongside her brother Gerald, who Mo'Nique had no relationship with since childhood when he was sexually abusive to her. Mo'Nique declined the appearance, but greenlit her brother's sole appearance. In April, television commercials began to run as Mo'Nique saw her brother Gerald was accompanied by her mother, stepfather, and brother who had previously been her manager. Mo'Nique was blinded since Winfrey said nothing about Mo'Nique's other family members joining, which she has since stated she would have never agreed to.

Mo'Nique confronted Winfrey about this, to which Winfrey pleaded she had 'no idea' Mo'Nique's mother, stepfather, and brother would be joining. Winfrey and Mo'Nique's camaraderie was no more after the blindside.

In 2013, after two years of getting no work, Lee Daniels would offer Mo'Nique the leading role of Gloria Gaines in his historical drama film The Butler, where she would act opposite Forrest Whitaker. Mo'Nique optimistically accepted the role. Shortly after, director Daniels would be approached by none other than Oprah Winfrey, offering her financial support for the film in exchange for the role of Gloria Gaines. In a bind, Daniels would then give the role Mo'Nique had already accepted to Oprah Winfrey.

Two years later in 2015, Daniels would once again offer Mo'Nique a role in his hit drama series Empire, along with the role of Richard Pryor's grandmother in Daniels' freshly announced biopic about the comedian. However, Daniels would later phone Mo'Nique, who was set to play the role of Cookie, and told her that both offers would be rescinded after claims emerged that she was too difficult to work with, subsequently telling her she had in fact been blackballed for "not playing the game." Unironically in the following months, Oprah Winfrey was announced to be playing the role of the grandmother.

For eight years after Precious, Mo'Nique's career and livelihood suffered as nobody in Hollywood would work with her. On many occasions, Mo'Nique had spoken out publicly about the blackballing, outing Daniels, Winfrey, Lionsgate, and Tyler Perry, and was even shut down by all the ladies of The View (specifically Whoopi Goldberg), who dismissed her pleas.

A multitalented actress, model, entrepreneur, it-girl, and tabloid target. Sydney Sweeney has it all. Since reaching worldwide stardom portraying the innocent, seductive role of Cassie Howard on HBO's Euphoria, Sydney Sweeney has transitioned into the world of lingerie, launching her lingerie brand SYRN earlier this year in late January to a sell out in under a day. With her striking beauty, voluptuous shape, and seductive portrayals in Euphoria, The White Lotus, The Voyeurs, and The Housemaid, there couldn't have been a better venture for Sydney to dive into, well besides jeans of course.

The lingerie brand (pronounced as Siren) is available in 44 different sizes and ranges price wise from $16 to $269 roughly. Sidney, who was a DD by the time she was in 6th grade, composed the line to be of comfort to girls who (like her) have naturally big breasts and need a comfortable fit, telling Parade, "I wanted to create a place where women can move between all the different versions of who we are." The brand's launch was divided into four lines: Comfy, Playful, Romantic, and Seductress; and has since expanded with collections: The Midnight Snack, The Do What Makes You Naked, and My First Rodeo (which launched in a pop up shop entitled 'The SYRN Saloon' at the Stagecoach Music Festival). Along with its launch, came with the usual reaction that anything Sweeney has done since her American Eagle advertisement in 2025, criticism, with disparagers describing the line as male gazed, attention seeking, and predictable.

Since the second season of Euphoria concluded, Sydney Sweeney has been the subject of online bullying, slut shaming, and numerous unsuccessful attempts to 'cancel' her. The majority of the heat came directly after her denim campaign for American Eagle entitled 'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans', which rubbed mostly the leftists of the internet the wrong way as the advertisement uses an innuendo in which jeans are juxtaposed with genes. The campaign was followed by left leaning "stan" accounts (for singers such as Bjork, Ariana Grande, etc…) stamping Sweeney as a white supremacist. However, Sweeney barely reacted to the inciting claims, simply telling GQ, "I did a jeans ad."

See how Heather Gay's credibility dwindled all because she woke up with a black eye

By Reichan Pendragon | May 5, 2026; 7:55 p.m.

On the morning of April 9, 2022, while on a filmed girls' trip in San Diego, author and cast member of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Heather Gay woke up with a black eye and scratches and bruising on her arms. She would text her friend Meredith asking her to come to her room. Upon Meredith's arrival, she was met by fellow castmate Jen Shah and Heather, who would remove her darkly shaded sunglasses to reveal her left eye swollen shut and heavily bruised. Heather would reveal her eye to the group of ladies soon thereafter, to a reaction of gasps and ''What the fuck happened?'' Heather had previously told Meredith she had no idea how the black eye came about; however, in front of the other ladies, she perplexingly hinted that everyone knew how she got the black eye but didn't want to talk about it.

In her green-screen one-on-one interview with the show's producers, Heather would refuse questioning pertaining to her eye. Heather's contradictory answers of her not knowing how it happened and "I think we all know" quickly raised the eyebrow of fellow castmates Lisa Barlow and Heather's cousin, Whitney. After Whitney asked, "Did someone hit you?" Heather quickly changed her stance of entirely not knowing to a refusal to talk about it, not wanting to 'make the trip about [her] eye'.

At the season's reunion special, which was not attended by Shah, who had left the show awaiting trial for a telemarketing scheme she was later sentenced for, Gay would yet again retract her previous insinuations, explaining to host and executive producer Andy Cohen, "I blacked out, I don't know how it happened." Obviously confused, Lisa expressed her wish that Heather maintain one story that was the truth, as it caused 'so much damage.' Well, when Gay went on her book tour for her 2023 memoir, Bad Mormon, Gay would once again retract her previous claims, with several allegations and new explanations, one being that she had fell into a bathroom cabinet, another claiming someone broke into the San Diego rental home and hit her, but that Bravo producers omitted the footage due to a 'non-disparagment clause' between the rental homes' company and the shows' production.

During the filming of the following fourth season's finale, which was filmed on May 10, 2023, in Bermuda, Gay, in a planned confrontation against newcomer Monica Garcia, would apparently finally come clean with the truth. For backstory, Heather, along with the other women, had discovered that Garcia, who had previously worked as Jen Shah's assistant, had been running an Instagram account that targeted them, so in an attempt to expose her, Gay would confront Garcia with the accusations. During her tirade, Gay explained that while the other women had to cover for Shah (who had already been sentenced to prison and was no longer on the show) for her lies and what have you, they would not be doing the same with her, leading to her "admission" that Shah was actually the one who gave her the black eye a year prior, followed by stagger from all the women who had no idea.

Following the airing of the episode, Shah would deny all claims from her prison cell, branding Heather as a liar, explaining that if she had given Heather the black eye, producers would definitely have footage of it, and rightfully questioning why Heather would continue to befriend her if she had indeed physically assaulted her.

Predictably, at the season's reunion taping, Andy Cohen confronted Gay with the allegations made by her against Bravo and how Jen Shah gave her the black eye. But Gay still couldn't give a direct answer; she hopped around from "There was a lot of drinking," to saying she just "woke up with the black eye" and 'knew' Shah had given it to her. When asked why she not only withheld the truth for so long, but lied on the show's production, Gay replied, "I was scared of her," but also wanted to protect her amid her legal troubles, saying, "I had protected her for three years, I wasn't going to stop at the black eye," before crying, to the comfort of the rest of the ladies.

In all honesty, I don't even think Heather believes Heather. In a time span of one year, she managed to change her story over ten times, but the only detail that she always maintained was how she didn't know how she got it, even though she claimed to know Jen was the one who gave it to her. 

As far as her lying to "protect" Jen, who she was supposedly "scared of," I call bullshit. I don't know anyone in their right mind who could get punched by someone they're terrified of and not take the opportunity to either expose them on national television or file legal charges– oh, but let's remember: she was protecting her… I also think it's unfair for Heather to make such a contentious allegation toward Jen, who could barely defend herself. Blaming the black eye on Jen was low-hanging fruit, and Heather still decided to reach for it. Heather knew that announcing Jen had given her the black eye would make for a great reveal and great television, and would put a halt to all unanswered questions.

Her mother and friends said she was "on top of the world," and described her as "happy." So what would cause a 20-year-old Russian model to jump to her death from her New York City apartment? This is the story of Ruslana Korshunova.

By Reichan Pendragon | May 1, 2026; 7:35 p.m.

She was dubbed "The Russian Rapunzel" and "a face to be excited about" by British Vogue in 2003, but rising model Ruslana Korshunova died young. Four days away from her 21st birthday, Ruslana fell to her death from her ninth-story Financial District apartment building in New York City. Her death was ruled a suicide by police, but many questions remain unanswered as to how and why she did it.

Ruslana Korshunova was born in July 1987 to Russian parents. After her father died when she was five, she was primarily raised by her mother, Valentina, and older brother Ruslan, in Kazakhstan. In her youth, she was described as gifted in school, learning German at a young age. Ruslana's life would change forever after she was discovered by British senior talent booker Debbie Jones (who worked for the Models 1 agency) at the ripe age of 15. Early in her career, Ruslana would secure her spot as a serious model by gracing the front covers of French Elle and Polish and Russian Vogue, and soon thereafter signing with IMG Models.

Ruslana would make her runway debut in 2005, walking the London and New York Fashion Week runways for Isabel Marant, Marc Jacobs, Cacharel, and Paul Smith. She would continue her work in print for the campaigns of Vera Wang, Christian Dior, and DKNY, as well as her continued success as a runway model with her now-iconic 2006 Spring Collection for Betsey Johnson. Ruslana was on the up and up; while she had been compared to the prime of Kate Moss, Ruslana had never been in any tabloid trouble, never an accusation of drug use, just a Russian girl seeking out the American Dream. That year, she would reach international success with her advertising campaign for Nina Ricci's self-titled perfume.

In September 2007, Ruslana would walk her final runway in Milan, Italy, for John Richmond's Spring/Summer 2008 fashion show

As the story goes, on June 28, 2008, in the settling hours of 2 P.M., after returning home from seeing her boyfriend, Ruslana fell from her ninth-story apartment. According to her friend, she was supposed to go to a dinner that night, which was going to be attended by Ruslana's ex-boyfriend, whom she apparently wasn't over.

Upon the paramedics' arrival, it was evident that Ruslana's hair had been chopped. Ruslana's hair was somewhat of her trademark; the reason for the "Russian Rapunzel" nickname earlier mentioned. Her friends and family adamantly refuted that it was an intentional jump, though Ruslana's blog posts sparked concern; originally in Russian, they've been translated to read, "I'm so lost. Will I ever find myself?" and "It hurts, as if someone took a part of me, tore it out, mercilessly stomped all over and threw it out. My dream is to fly. Oh, my rainbow, it is too high." 

Further investigation found that because there was construction outside of Ruslana's apartment complex, there was a black net attached to her balcony, which was cut. The distance in which Ruslana was found (8.5 meters) revealed not to be an accident, but an intentional leap from her balcony.

Her ex-boyfriend, Artem, said, "She gave up on herself. Everybody here [New York City] can barely breathe," while her mother and friends contested that she was happy since returning from Paris for a modeling gig.

It's Official! The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star has been named the first-ever monthly Wealthy Socialite of the Month for the month of May.

By Reichan Pendragon | Apr 26, 2026; 5:00 p.m.

As we all know, last month, Paul was a victim of public shaming and a (pop culture) worldwide "cancellation" after a video surfaced of Paul physically attacking her former partner, Dakota Mortensen. Upon the video's release per TMZ, which was provided by Mortensen, ABC announced the cancellation of their upcoming season of The Bachelorette, in which Paul was set to star.

In early April, The Wealty Socialite reported the contents of the official police report, which explained that prior to the video recording, the two engaged in a heated verbal exchange before Mortensen allegedly grabbed Taylor's head and slammed it into his car's dashboard and struck her knee and elbow with his fist, prior to their entry into the home the night of the incident. The confrontation escalated upon entry, resulting in Taylor physically retaliating. Both were found with little to minor injuries; however, Paul was booked into Salt Lake County Jail and charged with Assault, Criminal Mischief, and Domestic Violence in the Presence of a Child.

In a court hearing at Utah’s 3rd District Court on April 7, Paul gave the statement, "Dakota has a history of creating these situations, and there is a pattern of him trying to sabotage anything big or exciting that is happening with my life. Things like a new season coming out, or in this case the trailers of the Bachelorette starting to run always seem to set him off," before providing the court with text messages from Mortensen which read, 'now I have to watch you fall in love with the rest of the world and give every guy a side of you I’ve craved everyday.'

In mid-April, a Draper prosecutor, along with the Salt Lake County District Attorney’s Office, evinced that neither Paul nor Mortensen would face any charges for the 2023 incident, as there were no other credible witnesses to support the others' claims of physical abuse.

Since the announcement, many spectators, as well as ABC, have taken a different stance on Paul's case. Executive Vice President of Unscripted at Walt Disney TV, Rob Mills, stated the company's priority is "making sure that Taylor, her family, everyone is being taken care of." On April 22, Paul deactivated both her Instagram and TikTok accounts as a way to heal from the turbulent time in her life. The same day, it was announced that Paul had chosen not to participate in the filming of the fifth season of her Hulu series, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.

In a video posted by TikTok user Stephwithdadeets, regarding Paul's deactivation, Paul's sister, Aspen May, left a comment that read, 'She just wants a break [sic] it's been a lot [sic] for all of us. She is still welcomed on the show if she wants when she feels ready.' Other commenters wrote, 'there is no secret lives without Taylor,' 'I also will not be watching without her,' and 'Let's all collectively heal this mom and say something nice, ' receiving merely positive laudation from fans and viewers alike.

The businessman and one-time partner of Kim Zolciak has passed away, according daughter.

By Reichan Pendragon | Apr 25, 2026; 11:31 p.m.

(Miami, FL) – Real estate developer Lee Najjar, known by the pseudonym 'Big Poppa,' has died at the age of 68, his daughter confirmed on April 20. The cause of death remains unknown at this time.

Najjar came into the public eye after his identity was revealed to be the former partner of Kim Zolciak of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Najjar became romantically involved with Zolciak prior to the show's production commencing; however, his identity remained a mystery as he was still legally married at the time of his relationship with Zolciak, and was therefore given the nickname 'Big Poppa'. In 2008, Zolciak told People magazine that she and Najjar were engaged. Throughout his unidentified time on the series, Najjar funded Zolciak with extravagant gifts, including luxury cars, a townhome, and jewelry. Najjar and Zolciak amicably broke off their engagement in 2010, after Zolciak claimed that he had not followed through with the divorce of his wife as promised.

Najjar's death was confirmed on April 20 by his daughter, Katelin, per her Instagram story. His funeral was held on April 25. He is survived by his wife, Kimberly, and their children, Katelin, Jeremy, Jared, and Jamen.

The one-season-wonder was spotted filming with Dorinda Medley and Luann de Lesseps in Florida

By Reichan Pendragon | Apr 23, 2026; 10:48 a.m.

It seems The Real Housewives of New York City season eight alumna has returned to reunite with her former RHONY castmates to film for the upcoming reality series The Golden Life. The Reality Report on Instagram obtained footage of the Jewish and Asian mother of two filming with Luann de Lesseps and Dorinda Medley earlier this week in Palm Beach.

As you may recall, Wainstein entered The Real Housewives universe similar to the way a Jew and an Asian would walk into a bar, disquieted and awkward. The 5 '8 former model who's originally from Hong Kong was introduced to the group of Bohemian women by Dorinda Medley back in 2016, subsequently joining the cast of the eighth season of RHONY as a full-time Housewife. Wainstein's time on the show was plagued with peculiar behavior that was often highlighted by the other women, specifically when Wainstein loaded her pizza calzone with her personal medication and silverware, which the other women found bizarre. She was transparent about her eating disorder and relationship with food; however, she felt the other women didn't quite understand her or her disease.

During the course of filming, Wainstein was married to businessman and venture capitalist Michael Wainstein, and living in Manhattan's Gramercy Park neighborhood with their two children: Jagger and Rio. In the midst of the show's airing, Bravo confirmed through a rep of Jules in June that she and Michael were divorcing after eight years of marriage, which, according to Jules, was due to Michael's infidelity. In September, Wainstein announced her departure from RHONY after only one season.

Jules left the Big Apple amidst her divorce to move in with her parents in Boca Raton. In February 2020, Jules was arrested for allegedly attacking Michael and his car with a baseball bat in a Palm Beach parking lot. I guess nothing good can ever happen to a New Yorker in Palm Beach, huh? Nonetheless, Wainstein has been spotted filming with her former season eight cast members ahead of the show's release dates.

I'm glad Jules is back. I think we weren't able to see her true identity. She was going through a rough time in her marriage, her eating disorder, and navigating a group of women she didn't know that didn't understand or like her, all while a camera crew followed. This is why I think it's so important for these women to get sophomore seasons, because that's when the audience can really find out who you are (i.e., Siggy Flicker of New Jersey; Braunwyn Windham Burke of Orange County). Jules definitely falls into the category of the one-season-wonders who deserved a second season (with the forefront being Carlton Gebbia of Beverly Hills and Claudia Jordan of Atlanta), but hopefully, she provides us with context and great television.
