Luann Unleashed, Teresa Redeemed & Next Gen NYC Exposed with Dana The Bravo Investigator

Pop Therapy

Show Notes

My friend and friend of the show, Dana, The Bravo Investigator, is back and we're putting the Housewives under investigation. Some of them have a lot to answer for.

From the gloriously unrestrained nostalgia of Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip to Luann becoming an increasingly magnificent caricature of herself, Teresa Giudice's unexpected emotional evolution and Vicki Gunvalson looking like she'd rather be literally anywhere else, there's plenty to unpack.

We get into The Real Housewives of New York, my ongoing Jessel Taank grievance, the Kennedy controversy, Bethenny Frankel and Carole Radziwill, and the shifting friendships and marriages on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. Then Dana brings the receipts on Next Gen NYC's Charlie Zakur and his reported links to the notorious NYC crypto torture house case.

Plus, Dorinda Medley, Martha Stewart, Bravo's returning veterans and the million-dollar question: Does loving reality TV become endorsing the people behaving badly on it?

Nostalgia, nepotism, questionable behaviour and a little psychological dissection. Just another day on Pop Therapy.
