2023 has been a blur. Between everything that’s gone on this year, it’s a little bit easier now to forget how #SCANDOVAL gripped the public for nearly half a year.
It was a reality scandal within reality scandals and everyone wanted to know about it. So it should come as no surprise that even months after the fact, much was made of Rachel Leviss teaming up with Bravo ‘favorite’? Bethenny Frankel for a podcast, to seemingly tell her side of the story. If you want to check it out, you can do so here:
After listening to Part 1, I can only tell you that Bethenny Frankel must be environmentally conscious because this pod was nothing but recycled storylines and details we’ve heard before. Now I know that since it’s apparently a ‘Part 1’ I should wait before I unleash my guilty of nonsense verdict, but there was absolutely nothing in here that everyone didn’t know. Even worse, Bethenny couldn’t stop mentioning how she was completely unfamiliar with Vanderpump Rules and it’s cast, giving off big time Howie Mandel vibes.
There was one talking point that’s worth discussing. SCANDOVAL itself was the talk of everything for the 1st half of 2023. There is no doubt that renovations could’ve been done across all Villa Rosa and Pump properties with the royalties from the 3-Part Reunion. Bethenny used this as a big talking point in the podcast, that Rachel essentially didn’t get paid to have her life and reputation dragged through the mud…isn’t that unacceptable?
