'Real Housewives of Atlanta' Stars React to Brit Eady Skipping the Season 16 Reunion in New Trailer
The Real Housewives of Atlanta season 16 reunion trailer dropped on Friday, June 27 The first look teased how stars Porsha Williams, Phaedra Parks, Shamea Morton Mwangi, Kelli Ferrell, Angela Oakley and Cynthia Bailey, respond to the news that castmate Brit Eady skipped the reunion Despite Eady's absence, the cast still divulge and recall what happened between Eady and former star, Kenya MooreBrit Eady continued to surprise her The Real Housewives of Atlanta season 16 castmates up until the day of the reunion. On Friday, June 27, Bravo released the first sneak preview of the upcoming three-part reunion of the hit reality series. During the quick trailer, fans got a peek at how the women reacted to fellow castmate Eady's decision to skip the reunion. Towards the first half of the trailer, host Andy Cohen tells Porsha Williams, Phaedra Parks, Shamea Morton Mwangi, Kelli Ferrell, Angela Oakley and Cynthia Bailey, that 'Brit Eady has decided not to join us.' The clip then cuts to a shocked Ferrell, 40, who says, 'Wow,' while another woman is heard in the background saying, 'What?' Eady's decision to skip the reunion followed PEOPLE's reporting on Thursday, June 5, that she and Kenya Moore would not be attending, Eady on her own volition, while Moore, 54, was not invited by Bravo to participate. Moore was the longest running RHOA star when season 16 began filming back in April 2024. But her time in the season was cut short in June 2024, after she exposed sexually explicit photos presumed to be from Eady's past to guests at the opening of her Kenya Moore Hair Spa. She was suspended — and after an internal investigation — exited the series. On the same day as the reunion taping, Thursday, June 5, Eady, 37, addressed her decision not to attend the reunion on her Instagram Stories, alleging that the photos Moore shared a year ago weren't of her to begin with. 'I do not know who was in that photo, but upon seeing it for the first time recently, I now know it was not me,' Eady continued in her statement. 'I look forward to seeking accountability and moving past this dark part of my life." During the reunion trailer, Williams, 44, seemingly acknowledges the incident and says, 'Kenya had gotten information from a current housewife about Brit's past.' Cohen, 57, then turns his attention to Ferrell and asks, 'Did you send her the pictures?' His question left Ferrell shocked and speechless. The trailer then cuts to other moments that tease tensions between Parks, 51, and Oakley, as well as Williams and Morton Mwangi, 43, which prompts Williams to leave the reunion set.

Why Was Joe Giudice Deported? Bravo Star Asks Trump for Pardon
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Reality star Joe Giudice, who was deported from the United States back to his native Italy in 2019 after being convicted on federal fraud charges asked President Donald Trump for a pardon on Thursday. "President Trump, I respect you and I'm asking for a second chance," Giudice wrote on Instagram, along with the hashtag "PardonJoeGiudice." Newsweek reached out to representatives for Giudice for comment. Why It Matters Giudice rose to fame alongside his now ex-wife Teresa Giudice on Bravo's Real Housewives of New Jersey. Teresa also appeared on the fifth season of The Celebrity Apprentice, which was hosted by Trump. Trump pardoned reality stars Todd and Julie Chrisley last month. The Chrisley Knows Best couple was convicted on fraud and tax evasion charges. Giuseppe "Joe" Giudice, from the "Real Housewives of New Jersey," stands during a hearing in the Passaic County Courthouse in Paterson, New Jersey, on October 15, 2014. Giuseppe "Joe" Giudice, from the "Real Housewives of New Jersey," stands during a hearing in the Passaic County Courthouse in Paterson, New Jersey, on October 15, 2014. William Perlman/NJ Advance Media via AP, Pool What To Know In 2014, Joe and Teresa each pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, one count of bankruptcy fraud by concealment of assets, one count of bankruptcy fraud by false oaths and one count of bankruptcy fraud by false declarations. Joe also pleaded guilty to one count of failure to file a tax return. Teresa was sentenced to 15 months in prison, while Joe was sentenced to 41 months. After Joe completed his sentence, he was deported to Italy. Joe was born in Italy and moved to New Jersey when he was 1 years old. He never obtained U.S. citizenship. He has since relocated to the Bahamas. Teresa and Joe, who share four daughters, finalized their divorce in 2020. Joe's Instagram post, which currently has over 38,000 likes, is captioned: "I'm Joe Guidice. I served my time, and I've been deported from the U.S. for nearly a decade. I was raised in Jersey. I'm a father of four amazing daughters and I just want to be allowed to visit them again. President Trump, I respect you and I'm asking for a second chance. @realdonaldtrump @donaldtrumpjr." Teresa commented on Joe's post on Thursday with prayer hands and heart emojis. "I love you dad," Milania Giudice, Joe and Teresa's daughter, wrote. Their oldest daughter Gia Giudice also wrote, "I love you." Fellow Real Housewives of New Jersey stars Siggy Flicker and Jen Aydin shared supportive comments on Joe's post. "I'm trying. Joe should be back home with his beautiful daughters," wrote Flicker, who was appointed to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum's board of trustees by Trump. Earlier this year, Joe Guidice appeared on his ex-wife Teresa Guidice's podcast Turning the Tables where he spoke about fighting his deportation. "I got a lawyer working on something, but she's been working on it and hasn't done anything yet, so, I don't know, we'll see. I did get in front of the embassy and they denied that was it. I paid a bunch of money for that, so...I went, and it took not even five minutes and they denied it, so I'm done with this crap. It is what it is." What People Are Saying Joe Guidice said earlier this year on his ex-wife Teresa Guidice's podcast Turning the Tables about missing the U.S.: "Well, I mean, you got friends, family. I mean, everything. You grow up someplace, you get used to everything. I mean, that's why I adapt[ed] here in the Bahamas, Nassau, because it's kind of like Americanized, and I always see American people here. So, I kind of feel like I'm close to home. When I was in Italy, it wasn't really the same. It was nice, but it just felt far. Like, here, it's close. It's only two-and-a-half hours away, and I guess because everybody comes and visits me, I don't feel like I'm too far." What Happens Next?

Andy Cohen officially says goodbye to NYC penthouse of 20 years
From Bravo to Broadway, Andy Cohen is officially saying goodbye to his longtime home. Emmy-winning playwright and screenwriter Danny Strong and his partner, actor and producer Caitlin Mehner, have officially closed on Cohen's longtime West Village penthouse duplex for its full $12 million asking price, The Post has learned. The deal, which was finalized on June 26, caps a swift transaction that entered contract just over a month earlier. 11 Emmy-winning playwright and screenwriter Danny Strong and his partner, actor/producer Caitlin Mehner, have officially closed on Andy Cohen's penthouse duplex at 2 Horatio Street for its $12 million asking price. Getty Images for Prime Video The 3,500-square-foot co-op, located at 2 Horatio Street, was assembled over two decades by Cohen, the Bravo star and producer behind 'Watch What Happens Live' and 'Top Chef.' Designed by architect Gordon Kahn with interiors by Eric Hughes, the home is known for its bold use of color, sweeping views of Manhattan landmarks, and dramatic custom details — including a sculptural walnut, steel and glass staircase connecting its two levels. 11 The 3,500-square-foot West Village co-op, which overlooks Jackson Square Park, entered into contract in May after eight months on the market and initially listed for $14 million. Eytan Stern Weber, Evan Joseph Images Strong, whose musical Chess heads to Broadway this fall, called the duplex 'my dream home,' previously telling The Post, 'We are so excited to be moving there.' He and Mehner, new parents to a 7-month-old daughter, had been looking for more space to accommodate their growing family. 11 Designed by architect Gordon Kahn with interiors by Eric Hughes, the home includes a chef's kitchen, a nanny's room, and a glass-and-steel staircase leading to a home office. Eytan Stern Weber, Evan Joseph Images 11 It features 4 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, two fireplaces, and striking details like a gold-tiled bar, marble fireplaces, and a spa-like main bathroom with Empire State Building views. Eytan Stern Weber, Evan Joseph Images 11 The couple, now parents to a 7-month-old daughter, cited their growing family as a reason for the move. Eytan Stern Weber, Evan Joseph Images The purchase also marks a bit of a real estate shuffle. Strong is in contract to sell his current residence at 299 West 12th Street — the sam Emery Roth-designed building where Cohen just purchased a new penthouse for $18.21 million, The Post reported. That unit reportedly features over 2,000 square feet of outdoor space, something Cohen had long been seeking. 'Outdoor space was the decision! I always have coveted outdoor space,' Cohen told People. 'There is a dearth of inventory in the West Village with outdoor space, so when I found something that was meaningful enough for me to leave my dream apartment … that's what it took.' 11 The residence occupies 3,500 square feet. Eytan Stern Weber, Evan Joseph Images 11 Strong, who wrote 'Empire,' 'Dopesick,' and two 'Hunger Games' films, is also in contract to sell his unit at 299 W. 12th Street—ironically, the same building where Cohen just bought a new $18.21 million penthouse. Oliver Rodriguez/Shutterstock 11 The wet bar. Eytan Stern Weber, Evan Joseph Images The sale also marked a professional milestone for real estate broker and former Million Dollar Listing New York star Ryan Serhant, who shared news of the contract on Instagram back in May. 'Congrats @bravoandy,' he wrote, adding, 'Thanks for trusting me and @serhant with your home.' Serhant later told The New York Times, 'It's one of those treasures that you wait your whole career for.' Cohen had initially listed the property for $14 million in September 2024 before cutting the price by $2 million earlier this year. The duplex ultimately found a buyer after about eight months on the market. 11 A living space. Eytan Stern Weber, Evan Joseph Images 11 One of two fireplaces in the home. Eytan Stern Weber, Evan Joseph Images 11 An ensuite bathroom. Eytan Stern Weber, Evan Joseph Images Serhant and Donna Strugatz of Serhant represented the listing, while Jonathan Stein of Douglas Elliman represented Strong. Inside, the home features 4.5 bathrooms, two wood-burning fireplaces, wide-plank oak floors, and 25 windows offering views of Jackson Square Park, the Empire State Building, and the Chrysler Building. The main suite boasts a custom dressing room, a corner bath with a teak soaking tub, and a marble steam shower. Other highlights include a lacquered bar, a gold-tiled powder room, and a chef's kitchen with cobalt blue cabinetry. Strong is best known for scripting Recount, The Butler, Dopesick, and two Hunger Games films.

'McBee Dynasty' cowboys say dad's 'difficult' legal woes brought family 'closer'
Saddle up. Season 2 of the reality series 'The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys' premieres Monday, June 30 (9 p.m. on Bravo), bringing back brothers Steven McBee Jr, Jesse McBee, and Cole McBee as they preside over their multimillion-dollar family business, McBee Farm and Cattle Co, deal with relationship issues, and their father's legal drama. 'Before we even started doing this reality show, 'Yellowstone' came out a few years prior to it. And we had people coming up to us saying, 'You guys are literally 'Yellowstone.' You should have your own reality show!' Cole exclusively told The Post. Advertisement 15 The McBee family in Season 2 of 'The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys.' Bravo Media 15 Steven McBee Jr. Stephanie Diani/Bravo Steven Jr. added that he finds the hit Kevin Costner cowboy drama – which ended in December – 'very accurate, as far as waking up every single day to the external pressures.' Advertisement He explained, 'It feels like you're fighting so many forces. You're fighting Mother Nature, you're fighting the government, you are fighting the locals. You're just fighting the unexpected on any given day. That's how it is, on a real farm and ranch.' Their father, Steve McBee, was in Season 1 (which aired on Peacock before the show moved to Bravo), but he's not in Season 2 amid his legal drama. In November of 2024, he pleaded guilty in a multimillion-dollar crop insurance fraud case, for which he could face up to 30 years in prison. 15 Jesse McBee in 'The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys.' Paul Andrews/Bravo 'It is a real-life situation that we were dealing with throughout filming season two. Obviously, right now, we're still dealing with it,' Steven Jr. exclusively told The Post. Advertisement Steven Jr., who also appeared on Fox's 'Joe Millionaire: For Richer or Poorer,' added that his dad's legal woes have 'made us come together closer as a family.' He explained that they try not to pay attention to negative comments on social media because those people 'have never interacted with us.' Steven Jr. said, 'Anyone who knows us on a personal or professional level sees how hard we work, sees the real businesses, the real jobs that we provide.' 15 Steven McBee Jr. and Calah Jackson in 'The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys.' Paul Andrews/Bravo Advertisement 15 Jesse McBee in 'The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys.' Paul Andrews/Bravo Regarding his father, he said, 'Yes, we're dealing with that, and yes, it is a really difficult situation. But, we're going to focus on the good, positive things that are going on.' Season 2 also covers the brothers' personal lives. Steven Jr., has a rocky relationship with his girlfriend Calah Jackson, Cole is expecting a baby with girlfriend Kacie Adkison, and Jesse is getting ready to marry Alli Ventresca (they've since tied the knot, but it hadn't happened yet when Season 2 was filmed). Jesse told The Post, 'We work all day, and then in the evenings, we eat dinner together and we hang out together. So if there's a fight going on between the girls, it affects us in our relationship as brothers.' 15 Their father, Steve McBee, in Season 1. Paul Andrews/PEACOCK via Getty Images The population of Gallatin, Missouri is under 2,000 – and the show covers how that can be difficult for a woman dating a McBee brother. 'I love it up here. I love where I live. It's not for everybody,' said Cole. He added, 'I don't think it's in the middle of nowhere. Some people say it is. For the girls, our girlfriends and wives, I see it's a little harder for them. They don't have as much to do. There's not a lot of jobs to find. There's shopping an hour and a half away.'

Paul Andrews/Bravo 15 Cole McBee and Kacie Adkison in 'The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys.' Paul Andrews/Bravo Since their father is no longer on the show, their mother, Kristi, is now part of 'The McBee Dynasty' in Season 2. Advertisement Steven Jr. explained that she wasn't in Season 1 because she's 'a private person.' 'And it was a little bit sad to see comments come in, like, 'Where's the mom? Do they not have a good relationship with their mom?' We are very close with our mom. And so, we're extremely excited to get to showcase that in Season 2 and get to introduce our mom to the world.' 15 Kristi McBee in Season 2. Paul Andrews/Bravo 15 Calah Jackson and Steven McBee Jr in 'The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys.' Paul Andrews/Bravo Advertisement 15 Calah Jackson in 'The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys.' Stephanie Diani/Bravo Cowboys are all the rage at the moment in pop culture, between 'The McBee Dynasty,' the popular 'Yellowstone' universe continuing with spinoff shows, Beyonce doing a country album, and even cowboy fashion. Steven Jr. quipped, 'We're finally on the leading edge of fashion, for once in our lives! We've been wearing Carhartts, blue jeans, boots, and cowboy hats for decades now. And they seem to have come back around and become popular here in the last three, four, or five years.' Cole added that they don't feel exclusionary over who gets to join in on the trend. Advertisement 'I want everybody to get involved with it. It's a fun culture. It's a fun lifestyle.' 15 Jesse McBee on 'The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys.' Stephanie Diani/Bravo 15 Alli Ventresca in 'The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys.' Stephanie Diani/Bravo 15 Steven McBee Jr and Brayden McBee on 'The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys.' Paul Andrews/Bravo Jesse explained that he wouldn't say the brothers are 'the most cowboy out there,' but 'anybody who wants to get into the cowboy lifestyle or the farming style, ranch style, are more than open to, do it. I'll never understand why people are against people trying to learn about it or go out there and buy a cowboy hat for the first time.' He said, 'We're all for it…the more, the merrier.'
