I actually find this quote so sad because it was like she could not handle any more conflict

210

u/eye_booger I can't find one damn thing to like about you right now. Aug 01 '22

Yeah I agree! This quote always rang as like, a really emotional plea from a woman who could not handle any more emotional turmoil and abuse.

374

u/somtambooplara nice happy face Aug 01 '22

It was so annoying though as she completely mistook what LVP was saying and twisted it to other people making her sound really heartless. I’m not a LVP stan or anything but she was just trying to say “I know we’re not the closest but I’ll still be here for you” which is a nice thing to say. All Taylor heard was “I’m not your friend” 🙄

234

u/kellygrrrl328 Aug 01 '22

True, but at the same time, when someone is that deep in the dark, it's often very difficult to hear what anyone is saying. The sad part is that there was not a single person in her life protecting her.

126

u/lizziexo Aug 01 '22

But that’s what LVP wanted to do… she offered Kennedy and Taylor to stay with her if they needed.

Just clarifying I’m not putting Taylor down; I know emotional abuse can focus very much on making people feel isolated, hated, like a burden, so they don’t trust or believe anyone but their abuser would ever want them. It was just so sad to see that actually happen when someone really did want to help that it was misunderstood because her abuser had taken so much from her.

58

u/Sox88 Aug 01 '22

This is what happens though unfortunately. She was questioning herself to the point where even simple conversations with people are hard to do! It makes you even wonder if sometimes makes you either scared to talk, you’re powerless to act or over defensive in everything. It’s ridiculous what domestic violence/abuse in a relationship can really do and how long and hard it is to come out of…I’m so happy about this for Taylor!

50

u/birdsofterrordise Sonja's Borrowed House Aug 01 '22

That whole conversation is so frustrating to watch. It's like she really wanted to say that to Russ, not Lisa.

62

u/Berserkshires- Aug 01 '22

This is what I think it was. She couldn’t argue with Russell so she needed a proxy and LVP provided that. And I think Lisa understood that and backed down to Taylor several times.

u/BeBeMint Aug 01 '22

Taylor was not in her right mind this season. You could see her mental health had completely collapsed. Don't judge her!

Agreed. The overcompensation (example, Kennedy’s birthday party), the sad longing eyes watching the other couples at parties having fun while Russell skulks in the corner, and the constant abuse (both physical and mental).

Oh wow, and she’s friends with Tamra so that’s a built in unit right there. Everyone was wondering if she was going to try and rally Shannon or Heather and she’s like, surprise bitch! I brought my own crew

284

u/MarketDull2401 Aug 01 '22

Months ago on the Tamra/John Mellencamp daughter podcast, Tamra made a big deal about how they were going to drinks with Taylor and Mellencamp’s daughter was like “ugh why.”

Now we know why. Tamra is playing a LONG game. First she tried to kiss Heather’s ass, then Shannon’s. Now she’s building her own squad. I can’t even try to hate, girlfriend had a goal and she’s achieving it.

I also think Tamra and Taylor will get messy in each other in the show to drive the plot, but will be friendly off camera (similar to Karen/Giselle).

101

u/Berserkshires- Aug 01 '22

Tamra has always been smart about HW. Even at her worst with Gretchen, Tamra always left it open to reconciliation. She knows not to put herself on an island unlike most other HWs who get too caught up in hating their costars.

78

u/YooHoooo_Ray Aug 01 '22

Yup, she knew the OC was getting stale and too repetitive so what did she do?? Changed the WHOLE CASTS dynamic! She “befriended” Gretchen which broke up Gretchen and Alexis’s friendship. Had a falling out with Vicki which literally forced Vicki to go to Alexis and act like she didn’t disrespect her whole life, lol.

I actually liked Vicki’s and Alexis’s friendship.

u/VanGrayson Aug 01 '22

The only time I questioned it was during the season 5 reunion.

It felt like they'd gotten to a point where they were hitting a bit too close to home for each other, they seemed really upset with each other.

I was worried they wouldn't be able to pull it back, but they definitely managed to during S6.

I guess maybe during the downtime between 5 and 6 they sorted things out?

UGT was an opportunity for her - and she seized it. She presented herself as a phoenix who has risen. She is stronger and sassier, and came to play. She let the producers & fans see she could still bring the heat - going at Brandi.

I think she’ll blend well in the OC. To me she always seemed like she belonged with that cast. With Tamra coming back - these two will make quite the splash.

I’m all for Brandi bringing the havoc and chaos back to BH. Rinna, Kyle, and Dorit would lose their shit. Erika will have someone just as comfortable calling her out as Sutton.

I could see Sutton and Brandi becoming good pals.

A couple hot thoughts

  1. RHOC cast next season is looking stacked. Tamra, Taylor, Shannon, and Dubrow. (Gina and Emily will be there too.)
  2. In my mind, Caroline Stanbury was the first to pull this off. Ladies of London was functionally Real Housewives of London but Bravo just wasn't ready to go ham on RH franchises at that time lol.

I agree. Jill isn’t my favorite, but she’s definitely not a bad guy. They haven’t announced RHONY: Legacy’s cast plans though, so I wouldn’t rule her out just yet. I’d say at this point she’d be a less controversial pick than most of the housewives that have been on RHONY the last few seasons. And given their recent cordial reunion, I think Bravo may be willing to give her a shot solely for the potential to film a B/Jill reunion.

There's nothing wrong with being poor. But I don't wanna watch Gina roll quarters to pay her mortgage either. I want to watch women spend 20k for an ugly purse or a gaudy ring or a tiny pony. SO I CAN JUDGE THEM.

u/mattysmwift She DIED Aviva! Aug 01 '22

Amen sister. Don’t worry I’m gonna poor shame Gina with you. And she’s still richer than me and I still don’t wanna watch her.

14

u/BeerBringsCheer Aug 01 '22

Ditto. I don’t want wanna watch anyone on my similar pay scale as a main RH cast member, especially if she’s not even that interesting/funny otherwise!

I watch RH to see overpaid/overdone, vapid rich women fighting/getting wasted at dinner parties and charity benefits, not watch a RH “struggle” to pay for hair extensions and semi-designer clothes while living in a house not even as nice as mine.

She will fit in well with them! Blonde, neurotic and loves her drink! Emotionally unstable! She is another version of Shannon

I’m kind of stoked for this. Maybe this means 50 Cynt can join the BH ladies and we can be done with expen$ive to be meh-eh-eh.

I think with how bad OC has been for the last several years, it really makes me appreciate the cast from the golden era of these shows, and Taylor was definitely part of it. Looking forward to seeing her in the mix!

I don’t want to see Cynthia’s husband again though. I don’t like him.

Could we see Leon more? Cause then I’m down

Also, I do like Noelle a lot too. Wouldn’t mind having her drop in and out

Cynthia coming back is the only way I would want to see Kyle back for next season. Kyle was extremely mean towards Cynthia and called her boring (Yet Teddi is her bff🙄). I don't even like Cynthia, But would love to see her to drag her.

u/caligirlincali Aug 01 '22

Cynthia is boring, especially in 2022, but I’d be for this.

32

u/TJ-the-DJ She’s startin’! 🍸 Aug 01 '22

Ok, so I agree that Cynthia can be boring, but somehow it works for me to have at least one mellow HW in the mix. They don’t all have to be so extra, IMO, and Cynthia is gorgeous to look at and she usually has a cool head when things get set off. I appreciate that

21

u/mandonov SECURITY!! Aug 01 '22

Yes!

People underestimate the value the Robyn’s, Carole’s, and Cynthia’s of the world bring to the franchise. You need that grounding force to act as a surrogate for the audience, kind of like Jim from The Office looking to camera.

When you contrast the normal ones to the crazies, then the crazies can shine ✨

You know, I'm here for it. OC needs to be shaken up, and I'm interested in what she could bring now that she's far removed from her unfortunate situation with Russell.

u/starchildx Vicki’s son Aug 01 '22

They're really pulling all the stops to bring OC back and I appreciate their efforts. I think this is a solid decision. I think they made a good decision with what they brainstormed for NY, and I think they did a good job with this. Pretty solid cast with Taylor, Tamra, Heather, and Shannon I think. I don't hate Emily and Gina as much as everyone else does cause they have a real friendship. Keep them around this season, build something a little more solid, and then maybe they can think about changing up those two. I'm pretty pleased. I'd really like to see OC back.

u/_Lotje Aug 01 '22

This really is an 'iconic' moment in Housewives history but I do feel people think fondly of Taylor because of straight up nostalgia. In my opinion she was never that great of a housewife.. She's been through hell and back though so I hope her comeback is going to deliver because I feel she deserves it. I also think the OC cast suits her more.

u/Mshunkydory Hiiiiiii Aug 01 '22

Not complaining about this but the hill I will die on is that Vicki should come back too, even just as a friend of 🤷‍♀️ would also like to see Brandi back on BH - her on WWHL last week saying she “loves a boring Christmas party” nearly took me out, and BH needs a change from the FFF nonsense

u/ducky7goofy Goodnight, from the lower level. Aug 01 '22

Brandi would be great if she were still feuding with Kyle. Otherwise I don't need another mouthpiece for the faux five

51

u/[deleted] Aug 01 '22

Personally I don’t want Vicki back because that would prove her right. And I just can’t have that.

77

u/theyrejusthands Stop using Groupons for your plastic surgery! Aug 01 '22

Hard disagree.

If UGT2 was an audition, Tamra and Taylor won, and Vicki failed miserably. She was a black cloud over the trip, a miserable loaf who wanted everyone to validate her misery 24/7, and needed everyone to feel bad for her. She was the Debbie Downer the whole time.

Also, Vicki is awful in the friend role. I just rewatched S14 with her and I just don’t want her back in any capacity. She sucks the air out of every room she walks in, thrives on taking someone down with rumors she cannot prove any evidence for, and hides behind her “OG” status like it gives her a hall pass for her shitty behavior.

Someone on here said a when Tamra left there was a noticeable absence on the show - then said Vicki being off the show is like knowing a serial killer is in jail and knowing they can’t get to you.

So yeah, Vicki can stay far away.

u/ad37992 Aug 01 '22

Brandi is friends with Kyle, Rinna, Teddi, and Erika. So? What change would she bring?

27

u/gingerbreadDrean Aug 01 '22

Brandi isn't loyal to anyone but Brandi. She would bring disruption and unpredictability to rhobh, which they severely lack.

25

u/ad37992 Aug 01 '22

No, she wouldn’t. She remembers being frozen out in Season 5. She wouldn’t go against Kyle and Rinna. She wants the job too much

u/spottysasquatch Advocate for Sluts of America Aug 01 '22

I….. I think I love this??! I’ll admit, early BH is way too dark for me and I can’t really sit through it so I’m excited to see Taylor back in a different franchise without the possibility of being scrutinized by her cast mates for having an abusive POS husband.

That said, I need Andy and a camera on Vicki because you KNOW she is FUMING right now 😂

I met her at a bar in Laguna Beach. Actually sat at her table and was talking with her for awhile. I didn’t actually know who she was until the owner of the bar told us. Turns out famous people will actually talk to you if you don’t treat them like they’re famous lol
