Get ready for an unforgettable weekend as BravoCon takes over Las Vegas, bringing together your favorite Bravolebrities. This year, just like the network’s hit shows, drama will be overflowing offscreen. From the marriage issues in Beverly Hills to the highly anticipated Summer House panel, here are five major storylines to watch out for.
The Reality Reckoning and Ramona Singer
BravoCon this year is overshadowed by the “reality reckoning” spearheaded by Bethenny Frankel against Bravo, NBCUniversal, and network face Andy Cohen. Frankel, who advocates for reality stars to unionize, participated in Vanity Fair’s recent exposé, accusing producers of encouraging excessive drinking without ensuring a safe environment, exploiting harmful plots, and disregarding cast members’ mental health issues.
There are allegations that Bravo covered up racist behavior from certain franchise stars, like Ramona Singer from The Real Housewives of New York City. Page Six reached out to Singer for comment, and in her reply, she used a partial racial slur. Singer was subsequently removed from the event, leaving fans wondering if panel host Michael Rapaport will address the controversy.
Vanderpump Rules: Ariana Madix and Tom Sandoval Reunite
Viewers will finally witness the reunion of exes Ariana Madix and Tom Sandoval from Vanderpump Rules. Last seen together during the show’s reunion, where Madix confronted Sandoval for having an affair with her best friend, Rachel Leviss. Leviss will not be attending BravoCon and is rumored to be part of Frankel’s reality reckoning. While Madix and Sandoval continue to live together, questions remain about the nature of their relationship. Has Madix forgiven Sandoval? Find out on Friday.
The Relationship Drama of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Are there any happy marriages left in Beverly Hills? Most of the headlines from the new season of RHOBH have focused on Kyle Richards and her relationship with husband Mauricio Umansky. Richards surprised fans when she announced their separation in July, and now their struggles are being played out onscreen. Rumors suggest Richards is dating country singer Morgan Wade, while Umansky has been linked to his Dancing With the Stars partner, Emma Slater. Additionally, it was recently reported that Dorit Kemsley and her husband P.K. are essentially separated after eight years of marriage. Will they address these issues when they take the stage on Sunday?
Summer House: Lindsay Hubbard and Carl Radke Face-Off
Last year at BravoCon, Hubbard and her fiancé were celebrating their engagement. However, things took a sudden turn when Radke called off the wedding just two-and-a-half months before the big day. Hubbard was blindsided by the decision and is still searching for answers. Will she finally get closure during Friday’s panel?
Serious Seas on Below Deck
While Bravo’s programming is typically light and entertaining, Below Deck Down Under took a serious turn when attempted sexual assault was caught on camera. Bosun Luke Jones and second steward Laura Bileskalne were removed from the yacht after Jones attempted to enter a co-worker’s bed. The incident was captured by producers, who received praise for addressing the issue. Captain Jason Chambers and Chief Steward Aesha Scott will be among the talent present at the Below Deck franchise panel.
