Bravoholics Anonymous #6: RHOBH Sutton vs. Dorit, Crystal Minkoff Rumors, JuicyScoop Pod Drama & Denise Richards' Iguana Funeral

Welcome back, Addicts! This week's episode of Bravoholics Anonymous kicks off with an emotional (yet hilarious) tribute to Godzilla, the beloved 30-year-old Cuban iguana from Denise Richards' new reality show, Denise Richards & Her Wild Things. If you're not watching yet, trust me—you need this in your life. Denise is TV gold, and her unique brand of chaos and authenticity is exactly what reality TV dreams are made of.
Then we dive into the podcast super bloom sweeping the Bravo universe. Crystal Minkoff and Cynthia Bailey stopped by The Viall Files to promote their podcast, Humblebrag. But Crystal didn't just drop by for fun—she brought receipts, confirming rumors about Dorit Kemsley allegedly skipping payments to her glam squad. Is Crystal stirring up trouble to secure her spot on RHOBH? Or is this a desperate attempt for relevance?
Finally, we're unpacking a juicy new episode of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Sutton Stracke continues her unhinged quest for validation—this time from Kyle Richards—while navigating explosive confrontations and personal meltdowns. We also dissect why Kyle might finally be hitting her breaking point, Mauricio sightings with mystery women, and Garcelle Beauvais proving she's still the voice of reason we desperately need. And yes, we have strong feelings about Erika Jayne's latest confessional moments, too.

Porn Pays but Hollywood Calls

Porn Pays but Hollywood Calls: A Deep Dive into LA’s Wild Side
In this episode of Meet My Friends, I sit down with my friend (and building manager) John Austin—an actor, a hustler, and a man with a résumé that includes directing adult films in the golden era of San Fernando Valley porn (2001-2006). We get into the nitty-gritty of what it was really like behind the scenes of the industry, from fast money and wild sets to the surprising professionalism of it all. But John wasn’t in it for the long haul—Hollywood was always calling.
We also talk about the struggle of chasing acting dreams in Los Angeles, the side gigs that keep you afloat, and, of course, what it’s like to manage a building full of eccentric tenants while doing chin-ups on the garage door track. Whether you’re fascinated by the adult film industry, the grind of an aspiring actor, or just love a good LA survival story, this episode is full of candid moments, wild anecdotes, and a behind-the-curtain look at a time and place that defined an era.
Press play and get ready for a story that’s as unexpected as it is unforgettable.
