The Tea: According to the tattles at Tamara Tattles and her comment section snitches who have all the tea:
- When the Real Housewives of Atlanta arrived, the place fell silent and everyone was stunned by their fabulousness;
- John Mayer, who is Cohen’s buddy, was impressed with Leakes who kept everyone in stitches;
- Cohen was surprised to see Phaedra Parks who he had fired there and who Leakes probably invited in a rumored attempt to keep the RHOA franchise amidst falling ratings
- Beador was reportedly wasted
- Grammar and Rinna had a little fight and Cohen went over to them and said save it for the Reunion show
- Rinna was the life of the party and got everyone to dance on tables
- Notably absent were Bethenny Frankel (who had a speaking engagement) and Countess LuAnn from RHONY; Monique Samuels from RHOP (who is a brand new mom); Lisa Vanderpump from RHOBH (who is rumored to be leaving and feuding with Richards); Kelly Dodd and Heather Dubrow from RHOOC; Tinsley Mortimer from RONY; Porsha Williams and Kandi Burruss from RHOA (though she is on Celebrity Big Brother right now and Williams is heavily pregnant and maybe couldn’t get on a plane); Melissa Gorga of RHONJ
- Marlo Hampton was not an original invited guest but came to surprise Cohen who picked her up and twirled her around when he saw her.
- Ashley Darby from RHOP looked pregnant and having just peeped her Instagram, it looks true.
- Leakes was caught on her phone amidst all the hoopla
- Most got along.
- Danielle Staub manipulated the media to get a last minute pity invite and showed up with a gift and glammed out…allegedly
Non housewives attendees included actors Jerry O’Connell and his wife actress and model Rebecca Romijn.
They noshed on Chinese chicken and lobster Cobb salad, Salmon with Mango Salsa, Filet Mignon, Chicken Paillard, grilled asparagus, fried potatoes, spinach and grilled polenta cakes.
They danced to 70s hits
Fun Times!
