Bravo Boss Teases Parts 2, 3, Show Future

Published by Daniella Wilson

When Bravo announced their official viewing party for the first night of the three-part Summer House reunion, tickets sold out in seconds. Hundreds of fans showed up to fill three auditoriums at the AMC Theatre on 19th street in New York City on Tuesday night to watch the cast of the hit reality series discuss, for the first time, the relationship scandal that has rocked both their friend group and the Bravo-verse at large. Josh Brown, vp of current production for the network, was in attendance at one of those live screenings, and in his decades of film and TV-making — including the last 10 years working on Summer House — he’s never seen anything like it. “I was expecting the fans to be engaged, but I was surprised at how engaged they were,” he tells The Hollywood Reporter. “There was either cheering or clapping or laughing or booing every 15 seconds. It just showed the incredible connection the fans have to the series and how meaningful it is to them.” THR spoke with Brown …

[This story contains spoilers from part one of the Summer House season 10 reunion.] Bravo aired the first part of the Summer House season 10 reunion on Tuesday night, where West Wilson and Amanda Batula shared new details about the beginning of their romance that triggered reality television’s latest scandal.    The debut reunion episode also captured the first in-person interactions between Ciara Miller, her ex and former best friend, where things got heated quickly. The upcoming Dancing With the Stars contestant even argued that she could see Wilson and Batula working out in an icy moment. “Maybe they’ll be together, because I honestly think that the best woman for West is someone who’s not gonna check him on anything, and that’s totally Amanda,” Miller said. “She’s very mute, she’s gonna be that weak figure that he needs, and he can always be the star in the relationship. So I actually think, like, maybe it could work.”  Before that, part one of the Summer House reunion kicked off just as the trailer promised, with Lindsay Hubbard …

Fans (including celebs like Rihanna, who unfollowed Batula on Instagram) have rallied around Miller, similar to the public support Madix received in light of her split from Sandoval.

The hotly anticipated Summer House finale introduces spin-off show In the City, and kicks off a three-part reunion. Ahead, a guide to all of the key points in Scandoval versus Summer House.

Published by Daniella Wilson

BravoCon will make its grand return in 2027, but before then, the network has planned a one-day fan event in Charleston, South Carolina. Bravo Fan Fest Charleston will be held on Oct. 24 in the location home to Southern Charm and Southern Hospitality. Attendees can enjoy live stage programming and panels, immersive experiences, themed activations and intimate photo opportunities with Bravo stars.

The news was announced by Andy Cohen Monday during NBCUniversal’s upfront presentation.

New York’s Elite Come Together at The Hollywood Reporter’s Most Powerful People in Media Party

Published by Sam Flores

As the media industry has evolved, so has the guest list for this event. This year, there were a large number of content creators in the room, from fashion commentator Nicky Campbell to Recess Therapy’s Julian Shapiro-Barnum. Hot Ones host Sean Evans was featured on the Most Powerful People in Media list and contemplated who his next dream guest would be. “Tom Cruise,” he said. “I just know I could crush that interview.” Writer, professor, and opinionist Roxane Gay was on hand to weigh in on the most important news story of the past month: The Summer House scandal playing out on Bravo. “It’s gotten a little ridiculous and overblown,” she said. “But it’s the best thing to happen to the show.” She admitted to not being a Summer House fanatic; however, she is all-in on Real Housewives of Rhode Island. Cohen, who was close by, would be happy to hear the news of a fan. Print media was alive and well represented at the party, with W’s Sara Moonves in attendance alongside New York …

Just two weeks before he hosts his final episode of CBS’ Late Show, The Hollywood Reporter cover star Stephen Colbert was the toast of the evening at THR‘s Most Powerful People in New York Media party, presented by History Channel, at Daniel Boulud’s Daniel Thursday night in Manhattan. Colbert hugged his colleague Gayle King shortly after both arrived. As King posed for photos on the red carpet, Colbert jumped in and joined her for a couple of playful shots. Later he posed solo, flashing some of his best male model-like stares, before he was spotted chatting with other guests near the bar and then making his way into the main party room. There he held court and could be seen deep in conversation with Rita Wilson as well as catching up with Andy Cohen, THR editor-in-chief Maer Roshan and Boulud, with whom Colbert had an appropriately warm moment with near the fondue station.

Lindsay Hubbard Wears Horsehair Tie to Shade Amanda, West Scandal

Lindsay Hubbard Wears Horsehair Tie to Shade Amanda, West Scandal

Published by Daniella Wilson

Lindsay Hubbard is sharing her thoughts on the ongoing Summer House scandal and revealing just how “activated” she got while filming the season 10 reunion. During Tuesday’s episode of Watch What Happens Live, host Andy Cohen asked Hubbard about the horsehair tie she was sporting for the episode — a clear callback to West Wilson’s now infamous Feb. 3 appearance on the series, where he denied his romance with Amanda Batula. “You’re wearing the horsehair tie that West was wearing when he was here,” Cohen pointed out, to which Hubbard responded, seemingly throwing shade toward Batula, “This is from Meija Moreno. You can go to her Instagram, and some would call it being a girl’s girl.” Wilson gave Meija Moreno a shoutout during his last WWHL stint, and it’s been since rumored that they were in some sort of relationship right up until he and Batula announced they were together. Hubbard is the first original Summer House cast member to appear on WWHL since Batula and Wilson confirmed their romance in late March. After a …

‘Maury,’ ‘Ricki’ and End of Daytime Talk Shows for TikTok, Reality TV

Published by Daniella Wilson

In August 2019, Sholonda was back in the studio for the 19th time to film for Maury — but this time, she wasn’t the one who would run. She received the typical boos and thumbs-downs from the studio audience at the Rich Forum in Stamford, Connecticut when the host revealed how many times she’d graced the daytime talk show’s stage to air her personal drama. But she quickly won them back, earning a wave of cheers when it was announced she had recently lost 150 pounds. But Sholonda was about to get a slap in the face. Before she even stepped onto the set that journalist-turned daytime talk show host Maury Povich used for the final 14 years of his 31-season run, the audience had learned that her husband, Tyrell, and daughter, Deanna, were having a shocking secret affair — and that Tyrell was claiming to be the father of Deanna’s toddler. A challenge to the family dynamic, to say the least. Throughout the now-infamous segment, Povich encouraged Sholonda to “let it all out” as …

‘Summer House’ Reunion Leak Cracked by Fan, Says Andy Cohen

‘Summer House’ Reunion Leak Cracked by Fan, Says Andy Cohen

Published by Daniella Wilson

Andy Cohen is shedding some light on what he’s called the “most emotional ever” Bravo reunion for Summer House, and is condemning the person who leaked audio from the “very intense” cast gathering, which Cohen called an illegal violation. Over the weekend, Bravo concluded their investigation into audio from the reunion that leaked online, determining that it was a person “involved in the production of the reunion” — and not a castmember, despite social media speculation — who released an unauthorized recording from the highly anticipated taping that took place Thursday in New York City, which won’t air for another month, on May 26. Investigators were brought on to probe the leak, however Cohen said on his SiriusXM Radio Andy show Monday that, though this team of investigators were “on it,” it was “a Bravo fan — who you’re gonna hear more about — who cracked the case … [and] delivered crucial information.” Cohen sounded very excited about this fan — with Bravo and Cocktails reporting that it could be Bravo superfan Jennifer Lawrence. The …

Summer House Reunion Not Have Ciara, Amanda, West Sit-Downs With Andy

Published by Daniella Wilson

The highly anticipated Summer House season 10 reunion was filmed on Thursday, where Ciara Miller will come face to face with her former friend and ex-boyfriend, Amanda Batula and West Wilson, for the first time since they announced their romance. But while the show’s controversy has been compared to that of Vanderpump Rules‘ infamous Scandoval, Summer House will not be following in the show’s footsteps and altering its reunion format. Season 10 of the Lisa Vanderpump-led series went up in flames when Tom Sandoval had an affair with Rachel Leviss, his Vanderpump co-star and friend to his longtime girlfriend Ariana Madix. The scandal swiftly went viral, and at the reunion for the reality series, Bravo boss Andy Cohen sat down with all three parties involved separately to gather their side of the story. Miller, Batula and Wilson will not film scenes with Cohen separate from the main Summer House reunion, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed. The reunion will follow Bravo’s typical format of the whole cast being present and seated on two couches to hash …
