About this episode

Brandi and Julie join Heather to discuss the Summer House finale, Alex Cooper's pregnancy apology, and a bizarre murder-for-hire plot.

Brandi Howard and Julie Goldman are back in the studio, and we are diving straight into the chaos of the Summer House finale and the highly anticipated premiere of In The City. We also break down the drama surrounding Alex Cooper’s pregnancy announcement. Does she owe a fellow influencer a public apology for how it all went down? Then, we sink our teeth into a truly bizarre murder-for-hire plot involving a pop star, an influencer, and a father-daughter hiking trip that ended in a tragic "accident" and an arrest. Plus, I’ve got the inside scoop on whether Real Housewives of Rhode Island producers are actually trying to cast the ex of a current Housewife’s girlfriend.
