RHORI Reunion Part 1: Rumors, Receipts & Near Fistfights

Wendy (00:01.666)
Laurie, what do you think when Liz said that she was trying to protect Alicia when she said you weren't homeless?

Lori (00:08.65)
I think it's plausible, but I think because of Liz's personality and the way she presents herself, she just like I think it was like the way she said it w that like

You were never homeless. It wasn't like you know what I'm saying? It was it wasn't you know it wasn't like

Wendy (00:27.234)
Right. That's a good list. That's a good list, yeah.

Kelli (00:29.252)
That was a actually a really good impression. It was a great list.

Ha ha.

Lori (00:38.562)
I can see where you you would say that, but you know, you know, not really homeless 'cause you always you know, like, but what about your grandparents? They were great grandparents, didn't you stay with them? But I could see how you would kind of feel like like when you present things like that, then of course people are gonna be like, Whoa and I think that's why Alicia reacted the way she did, because how Liz presented it. So

Wendy (00:50.285)
Right.

Lori (01:04.168)
If you present yourself that way, don't be pissed off when people take it the way you presented it.

Kelli (01:09.774)
Think that it was like Liz was acting like she knew Alicia's family better than Alicia did. You know what I mean? Like, like, don't say that, they're gonna get pit. Like, all right, it's her family. She can deal with the backlash of anything that comes along with the fact that she just said she was homeless. She's obviously very close with her mother and her aunts, and she'll deal with it.

Wendy (01:10.188)
Yeah.

Wendy (01:20.055)
Right, right.

Lori (01:21.638)
It's her family, not yours.

Lori (01:26.58)
Yes. She's a grown woman.

Right. She's a grown woman. Yeah.

Wendy (01:30.988)
Right. Yeah.

Lori (01:34.836)
Yeah. Mm-hmm.

Wendy (01:37.325)
Yeah, Alicia does accept, you know, her apology and she does say that she didn't think that Liz had bad intentions. But she does also say that, you know, for her that was a lot opening up about that because she had never even told Billy that because she was embarrassed about having a shitty father. So the fact that she opened up about it and then to have that reaction. but then that's where it Yeah, that's where it it just like goes off the rails because

Kelli (01:59.364)
Mm-hmm.

Lori (02:01.365)
Yeah, it caused a problem.

Wendy (02:06.636)
You know, Alicia's ex accepting her apology. Liz then goes on to, but I wasn't the one who brought it up in the car. I don't want to go further with this, but let's just say the two of you knew that they that we were going to be discussing this in the car. And Andy asked Liz, like what, you felt ambushed? And she's like, Yeah, I did. And

Lori (02:28.745)
But I'm just gonna say this.

Lori (02:35.069)
I think that Liz is d did a very, very foolish thing because I think Liz threw production under the bus. And the other girls were like, we ain't cop into this. We want our job. Like, no, no, no, trying to like sway it a different way. So I think Liz was very foolish. And the second thing I wanna say is she also made no freaking sense. Because if if you're saying that you knew

Kelli (02:38.989)
She did.

Kelli (02:42.891)
Mm-hmm. That's exactly what she did.

Wendy (02:59.628)
That's the thing. Yeah.

Lori (03:04.361)
this was gonna come up in the conversation, then how could you feel ambushed if you knew like what are you tal what are you even saying? I'm like, what are you saying? So

Wendy (03:04.641)
Right.

Kelli (03:10.275)
Ha.

Kelli (03:15.501)
Basically the conversation didn't go the way she wanted it to.

Lori (03:19.261)
i that's all I can come up with 'cause I was like, you you made you you were making no sense.

Kelli (03:21.069)
So that's why she felt ambushed.

Wendy (03:23.896)
Well, because yeah. Because Alicia got so emotional. Alice Alicia got so emotional and was really upset about the whole situation. And Liz still at this point didn't understand it. And Joelyn was trying to say, like, Okay, Alicia, you're entitled to your feelings, but Liz is like, Well, you should have had you should have de escalated the situation and said that Liz meant no harm. Well, how can she do that when you're acting like a lunatic?

Kelli (03:29.248)
Mm-hmm.

Kelli (03:53.6)
Exactly. She wanted Jo Ellen to like, you know, she's got a good heart. You know, you know, but when you're acting like an asshole, it's kinda hard for people to do that.

Lori (03:53.621)
Absolutely.

Wendy (03:59.298)
Right.

Lori (04:01.589)
Who's gonna say that? Yeah. And the most telling thing was, is I don't know if you guys caught it, but Alicia said, You can't say that out loud to Liz. And she was talking about, what are you doing? Like, yeah, what are you doing? Like letting people know that this was all set up that we were supposed to talk about. This, of course, Alicia was supposed to bring it up. It's a it's a storyline, it's a point of the show. But

Wendy (04:17.186)
The voice note, the voice note. All about the voice note.

Lori (04:31.473)
Now you're gonna like out production about how like you what are you doing? What are you doing?

Kelli (04:38.167)
And you know, it's so interesting because she put out that s that overly produced apology, right? Remember? Where she looked like she was in a church. I mean, these women and this s trying to stage these church apologies. But and then she comes on the reunion and she just acts like a crazy person all over again.

Wendy (04:44.12)
Mm-hmm. Right. Right.

Lori (04:44.383)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Lori (04:59.933)
Yeah, and Liz saying Liz saying, Should I play it now? Everybody at that place was probably like like No, no, no, stop, stop stop, no, no. We want our job. What are you doing? Yeah, I don't I you think Dolores would have gave her better notes on w th the whole thing.

Kelli (05:07.693)
What are you doing? What are you doing? Yeah. Exactly.

Kelli (05:21.293)
Yep. Yep.

Wendy (05:21.91)
Yeah. But then Alicia says, like you felt ambushed, but you were the one ambushing like me. Like and why did you, you know, ambush Joelyn? You pushed her, you pulled her hair. And sh they're right. I mean, she was the one acting like a crazy person.

Lori (05:34.409)
Is right.

Lori (05:37.939)
Yep. And I love Alicia. Get over yourself. You're not that great. It wasn't a setup because if it was, it would have been better. Now relax.

Kelli (05:43.767)
Yes.

Kelli (05:48.183)
Yes, that was great when Alicia said that. You're not that great.

Lori (05:50.611)
That was great. It was great. And how about Liz? I'm tactile, defensive. I was like

Wendy (05:52.525)
Yeah.

Wendy (05:59.033)
Yeah.

I mean seriously like

Lori (06:03.439)
It was crazy. It was crazy. And and it and Liz saying you to Joelyn, you embody something that my soul rejects.

Kelli (06:16.388)
What is she talking about?

Lori (06:19.614)
No god.

Kelli (06:20.686)
Sorry, Liz, I don't get that whole enlightened spiritual vibe from you.

Lori (06:27.485)
Listen, I I yeah, I can understand what Liz is talking about with Joellen. I think Joelen does some shady, weird, manipulative stuff. But when she does that and I don't even work with the girl. I don't know her like you know her, but she does that from a certain

Kelli (06:28.11)
You're like a wound up ball.

Lori (06:55.549)
You know, she's like a batter child. Like she she does she behaves that way because of her past trauma. Not that it's an excuse, but

Kelli (07:05.496)
No, but hurt people, hurt people, right?

Lori (07:07.601)
Absolutely. And and Joelyn does some weird some weird stuff. I'm I'm with you on that, Liz. I get it. But I don't think that she's I don't think that she's evil or you know, like Liz tries to make her out to be. I just think that she's very misguided in some of the ways that she handles her relationships because she doesn't know any better.

Wendy (07:21.707)
No, no.

Kelli (07:31.298)
Right. Right.

Lori (07:34.728)
And if you're if you're an older person in the group, you're older than Joelyn. So try and try and massage the situation. Try and be a friend. Try and guide her on how to properly express herself or handle some kind of situation where you know she's not handling it correctly because she doesn't have the skills. She doesn't have the tools to do it. So then she just goes off the way that she's gone off her whole life.

Kelli (08:05.452)
And Joe w when Joelyn said like I was trying to protect you from looking crazy. I really believed that. Like at the Copa where she was like, you know, like looking in her eyes and then she pushed the chair and she pulled her hair. Like I really think she was trying to like diffuse still from the vehicle to the the bar or restaurant. Like I think she was trying to diffuse it and be like, girl, you look crazy, you know. But the

Wendy (08:05.452)
Yeah, I mean

Lori (08:10.173)
It's true. Yeah, absolutely.

Wendy (08:11.576)
She was. She was.

Lori (08:18.59)
Mm-hmm.

Lori (08:33.799)
Right, right. And then I think then I think she got upset. Yeah.

Wendy (08:34.947)
Yeah, because

Kelli (08:35.328)
It not that I think she was drunk or anything. Yeah, but it's almost like a drunk when you're trying to tell a drunk person to stop drinking. And I you know, I'm I'm I'm one of those guilty drunk people myself. I don't if I'm drunk and slurring my words, I don't want you to tell me not to drink anymore. I can admit that about myself. But exactly. I'm finding myself very entertaining right now. But

Lori (08:50.323)
Right. Right. I'm on the roll, right.

Lori (08:58.917)
Right, so you can just go away.

Kelli (09:01.134)
But it's almost like that, like when you're trying to tell a person who's acting a fool to stop acting a fool. They're not it's not clicking.

Lori (09:06.643)
Right, right. Right. And then I think Jo Allen started acting a fool because she got upset and then started, you know, acting kind of wacky herself 'cause she just was just really jacked up.

Kelli (09:17.388)
Yeah, she's like I can act however I want right now 'cause Liz is still looking like the crazy one. I can fly off the handle a little bit right now and still look better than what Liz is looking like right now.

Lori (09:21.385)
Yeah there you go.

Wendy (09:22.668)
Which was very true in that instance.

Wendy (09:29.324)
The thing is too, Andy gave Liz like an out to apologize, because he said to her, now that you've seen the episode where Rosie's man is singing and all the chaos is going on at the table, you know, I want you to address the hair touch and the chair push. Like that would have been her opportunity to say, you know what? I didn't realize it. But now that I see it, you know what? I was wrong. She didn't. She didn't. She refused to apologize to Joelyn. She refused to apologize to Joelyn. She apologized to Alicia.

Lori (09:51.411)
I mean at the very least.

Kelli (09:56.709)
She apologized to Alicia, but she didn't apologize to Joe Allen. Yeah.

Wendy (09:58.755)
But would not apologize to Joelin.

Lori (10:00.165)
Right. And at the the very least that she could have done is apologize to Rosie and be like, you know what? Things got out of out of hand with me and Jo Allen. I'm sorry that I did that at the show. But you you couldn't even do that.

Kelli (10:07.896)
Yeah.

Wendy (10:19.915)
I know.

Kelli (10:20.28)
Yeah. When Jo when Jo Ellen said that Liz needs to take ownership of her own behavior and and Liz totally deflected and she goes, I'll say whatever the fuck I want. I was like, Yeah, well, I don't don't think there's gonna be any accountability taking today, ladies.

Wendy (10:31.619)
Yeah.

Lori (10:38.438)
No, no, no, no.

Wendy (10:40.93)
I did think it was interesting because then when all this is going on after Liz says that, you know, I don't think I owe her an apology, like nor will I ever. Then Ashley chimes in. I was like, my God, what the hell is Ashley gonna say? And she's like, Well, a as a viewer from the other side of the table, I did feel like I needed to go over and be with Liz because I felt like it seemed like two people were really going in

Kelli (10:53.667)
Weird.

Wendy (11:04.002)
hard on her and I didn't seem like didn't seem like a one sided fight. Like Ashley said I felt like you needed comfort and I wanted to be there for you. And Liz is like crying. I did too. But I do I do think that she meant it to be quite honest with you. But that's who Ashley is. Like that's who Ashley Yeah, that's who Ashley is. And Liz is like crying like thank you. But I will tell you this, like she will never acknowledge Ashley for having done that, even after Ashley pointed it out to her. She didn't notice it at the time.

Kelli (11:11.652)
I thought was so random.

Lori (11:14.451)
Yeah, it's like what?

Lori (11:18.491)
Ashley, yeah, yeah, that's 'cause show who she is. Yeah.

Kelli (11:30.2)
Never. Never.

Wendy (11:33.332)
Ashley's now pointed it out to her and she won't acknowledge it in the future because that's who Liz is. You know what I mean? As random as it was, I was like, Where's she gonna go with this? And then when she said that, I was like, okay

Kelli (11:37.944)
Right. That's right.

Lori (11:46.899)
And I loved Rula's face when Liz says that she doesn't do the click thing. Rula was like, okay.

Wendy (11:49.718)
Mm.

Wendy (11:53.638)
yeah.

Kelli (11:55.779)
Mm. Right.

Wendy (12:00.418)
When Andy asked Joelin and Liz if they've ever been in a fight before, and Joelan's yeah, and Liz is like, do you want to tell him why? And we find out it was because of a smoky snowsuit. Like, what? Are you kidding me? Seriously. I mean, are we five?

Kelli (12:18.734)
That is the one of the funniest things I've ever heard. And and Liz is like, I I c I took that from my do I was gonna give it to my daughter and Joanne's like, All right, well I didn't know that. Like, then don't offer it to me if your daughter needs it, psycho.

Lori (12:30.825)
Right.

Wendy (12:34.241)
Right.

Lori (12:35.635)
Right. So this is what happened. Liz lent her the snowsuit. It stunk like weed. Joelyn decided not to wear it and said Right. Either way, it smelled. And then so Joelin doesn't wear it and before she gives it back to Liz, she says, Well, you want me to dry clean it for you? Like it smells like either cigarettes or weed or whatever. And then she got all pissed off. I would have been like, Go ahead.

Kelli (12:44.416)
Or cigarettes. She smokes cigarettes too.

Wendy (12:47.114)
Either way, right. It's sm it smelt.

Kelli (13:03.182)
Yeah, she got insulted. Honestly, I would have just gotten the fucking thing cleaned. 'Cause I smoke and I don't like the smell of smoke on clothes. If somebody gave me that and I if I really needed to wear it, I would have gotten it cleaned and then worn it. I wouldn't have been able to wear it with that smell.

Wendy (13:05.836)
Right.

Lori (13:05.993)
Walking dry Go ahead, dry cleaned it.

Lori (13:15.815)
Right. Right. I don't think Joel and wore it. That's a thing. She didn't even wear it. She she right. Right. Right.

Wendy (13:21.964)
No, she didn't wear it. She said she didn't wear it. She said I didn't even wear it. I mean that the I mean

Kelli (13:22.766)
that's why she said I didn't even wear it. I didn't even wear it. Yeah, so she should have given it back to her smokey. I mean, listen, chances are Joe Ellen said it shady and was being snarky.

Lori (13:35.754)
You're right.

Right. But even still, even if you called me up and said it's snarky, I would have been like You okay okay to dry clean. I would have been I would have been laughing, like, Go ahead, dry clean it, that's great. Yeah, go ahead. Go ahead.

Kelli (13:45.513)
Fuck off, go get it cleaned.

You wanna spend the money to get it cleaned? Go right ahead. But this was weird when they said they were together on Mother's Day. 'Cause 'cause Liz is like I where did this narrative come from that we're best friends?

Wendy (13:58.915)
And yes.

Kelli (14:05.356)
I just think that that's a I I just first of all, I think the housewives throw the term best friends around like it's nothing and that irks me to no end. But I don't like like when w why Liz keeps saying like we weren't friends, we weren't friends, we weren't friends. If you weren't friends then you Yeah, you lent her your snow suit and you wouldn't be so upset over over all of this then if she wasn't really your friend, you wouldn't give an F.

Wendy (14:05.922)
I know.

Wendy (14:23.64)
You lent her your snow suit.

Lori (14:26.058)
Right.

Lori (14:32.681)
And she sa she has said that sh it broke her heart and blah blah blah. So so what are you talking about? Right. So what are you talking about? Yeah. I think that Liz is not friends right. She's not friends with Joelan when she doesn't want to be friends with Jo Allen. And she's friends with Joelan when she wants to be friends with Joelan. And that's it.

Wendy (14:33.294)
Exactly.

Kelli (14:37.144)
Yeah, like if she's not your friend, then why is it breaking your heart? That's just weird. Right. She's just a walking contradiction at this point, Liz.

Kelli (14:54.274)
Right. And then Liz says, Well, I invited you over for Mother's Day because your mother and your sister left you out of whatever they were doing.

Wendy (15:03.862)
And Joelyn said that that's not true. I had a good time with Gary, and you called me to see if you wanted if if I wanted to go for a drive because you weren't having a great day. And we went and we had drinks. So Liz said, You are truly you truly are a dangerous mother effer. You embody something that my soul rejects. Joelyn said, You embody something that I have to chase after like my mother. Joel and said, You are a narcissist. Lid said, I'm not your ma, bitch.

I'm not your ma. I'm like, okay. And but then Joelan admitted. Joelyn said I look for love with you and maybe I just need to distance myself from you and her. And I think that is spot on what Joelyn said. I do. I think that she does need to distance herself from her and her mother.

Kelli (15:38.188)
Another very good impression of Liz. You girls are really killing it tonight.

Lori (15:48.718)
I think so. I think so. Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Kelli (15:58.285)
I think Liz is walking away from this reunion but Rula as her only ally. And I don't think that's a great look.

Wendy (16:11.63)
then they go to a break and then that's where Andy asks Rosie about, you know, she shares some issues with her mom and have you and Joel and bonded over that and they you know, they talk about it and

Wendy (16:25.292)
They talk about the click, Rosie, you know, 'cause they were all from Cranston and Rosie wasn't. but Joe Ellen admitted to Rosie that there was a group chat before they even started filming. That Rosie wasn't a part of. So yeah.

Kelli (16:38.328)
Yes. talking shit on her.

Lori (16:38.538)
Yeah.

Right. And and it was about her.

Wendy (16:43.904)
Right. And Rose and Joelin made them like get rid of that chat.

Kelli (16:51.202)
Yeah. I mean again, I just think that this comes from the fact that Kelsey is jealous of Rosie. 'Cause are they the only two that aren't married? no, Rosie's married. What am I saying?

Wendy (16:51.99)
And Andy's like, Well it's yeah.

Wendy (16:58.978)
Yeah. Yeah. And Andy said r it sounds like

Rosie's married. Kelsey's the only one that's well, and actually A Alicia's not married, but

Kelli (17:09.324)
Alicia, but she's you know, might as well be.

Lori (17:10.271)
Right, but she's in a relationship.

Wendy (17:11.67)
She she might as well be married.

Wendy (17:17.966)
So then it it pretty much ends, like we're gonna see next week. I mean, I cannot wait for those men.

Kelli (17:18.335)
I it

Kelli (17:21.838)
Well wait. Yeah, but what about Rula calling Jo Ellen a slut and Jo Ellen says your husband's the slut and Rula jumps up?

Lori (17:24.57)
yeah, that'd be good.

Wendy (17:32.109)
yeah. Yep, they were fight. I mean, that there was so much fighting going on between the two of them and

Kelli (17:35.522)
And then Rula says Joel and was sleeping with doctors and calls her an effing whore. When she said eff and whore, I was like, Okay. Now there's gonna be a fight. Cause you could say a lot of things, but when you call somebody an effing whore, gloves off.

Wendy (17:39.254)
Right. Yeah.

Lori (17:48.573)
Right. Right.

Lori (17:56.369)
Earrings hoops out.

Wendy (17:57.039)
Well well Joel and even said she said didn't she say I'm gonna effing what did she say? Yeah de yeah I knew she sh or yeah, she's definitely threatened some sort of violence. I I don't remember exactly what the violence was, but there was some violence threatened. Which, by the way, is is technically an assault. Is an assault just to threaten it.

Kelli (17:58.125)
You r hoops out.

Kelli (18:03.694)
Kill you. I'm pretty sure she said I'm gonna app and kill you.

Kelli (18:11.171)
What?

Kelli (18:14.951)
I mean

Lori (18:15.541)
And it was it was very I thought her b Rules behavior right. I thought Rules behavior was very odd. Though there was like this really odd misplaced anger and I was just like, Girl, the only person you should be mad at is your husband.

Kelli (18:38.212)
Right.

Lori (18:39.637)
That's the only person you should be mad at.

Kelli (18:42.254)
Like for real.

Lori (18:45.073)
And I'm not saying Joelyn's totally innocent. I know Joelyn's up the mistress's ass. I get it. But it's a show. Everybody needs a storyline. And girl, yours was your cheating ass husband. So don't be pissed. Don't be pissed that you came on a reality TV show with a cheating ass husband and other people made it their business and picked up on it and ran with the bone. Don't

Kelli (18:59.342)
That's right.

Wendy (19:06.509)
Right.

Lori (19:14.867)
Don't be pissed at that 'cause

Kelli (19:16.962)
Exactly.

Wendy (19:17.336)
Yeah.

Lori (19:19.251)
Right? Is that right?

Wendy (19:19.906)
Joe No, it's totally right. Joelin said, I'm gonna break your effing nose and Alicia said, No, no, no, she just got her face down. You can't, you can't

Kelli (19:25.468)
that's right. That's right. You can't do that. You can't do that. She just had it done. I'm telling you though, as soon as F and Word was said, I'm like, my God, there's gonna be a fight now.

Lori (19:25.523)
Yeah, Lady was like, No, no, she just got it done. So funny. So funny. Can't do that.

Wendy (19:41.634)
I know, 'cause Andy did get up and everyone else on the couches, like, did you see them? Like Liz covers her face, Kelsey's biting her nails, Asters like like I I mean, it was j it was bad.

Kelli (19:44.181)
Yeah.

Kelli (19:47.875)
Yeah. Ashley probably wanted to jump under the couch. Take cover. my god. Holy shit.

Lori (19:52.061)
Yes.

Lori (19:55.776)
Swim through the swim through the moat and go.

Lori (20:02.687)
So next next time should be very interesting with the men. I would not want to be Brian.

Kelli (20:06.336)
Absolutely.

Wendy (20:08.792)
But listen, I like that we saw that Jared in the back is telling Brian, you have to tell the truth. You have to tell her everything. I like that Jared's doing that.

Kelli (20:20.686)
I love that Jared's doing it too, but Brian is still standing there with that stupid look on his face. You know he's not gonna do it. He's such a P U S S Y, and I hate that word, but he fits the description so well. I hate that word. I won't say it, but I will spell it. Yep.

Lori (20:35.785)
Yes, he does. Yeah. He's definitely a pansy ass. Yeah.

Ugh, he gives me the ick so bad. What is she holding on to? Rula leave him. So season two you can get along with all the girls and you can have a single season and we could see you out there dating all the wealthy men of Rhode Island.

Wendy (21:03.608)

Wendy (21:24.926)
I know she was and remember she wouldn't I know, but remember she wouldn't talk about it? I think it was when sh I think she said when she was still married. I don't know. We're gonna have to wait and see. But I'm telling you that's Yeah. Listen, Joelyn has all the receipts. Except for except for the damn police report. So don't bring that shit up, Joelyn. If you don't have that receipt, don't talk about it.
