This week on our favorite show,Rich Women Doing Things, the rich women do things.
For dinner at a friends house.
But mostly, the women just sit around and knit because they had nothing to talk about.
Nothing is going on.
No articles, no bombshells, no secret meetings.
Just boring old life in Beverly Hills.
They talk even more about Erika, mostly while she isnt around.
Not that conversations about race are awful.
We then have another conversation like the one that Crystal had with Sutton back in Lake Taco.
(Pro tip: one hasGirls5Eva.)
Some of the people they have loved most in the world are dark-skinned.
You literally just said your kids arent racist because the help are all POC.
Then she says, My mothers best friend is Black.
Thats like following a Whopper with a Big Mac.
Garcelle counters by asking, Do brown people only help at your house?
which is a simple but devastating question, which is what prompts Dorits bit about her moms Black bestie.
Dorit, however, mishears it as Do only brown people help at your house?
and reacts to that.
OK, so we got all the race stuff out of the way.
Does that mean we can skip the Erika stuff?
Well, hello, my name is Dame Brian Moylan, and I am now DaBabys publicist.
Erika decides to leave and she waits outside for an Uber with Kyle, Dorit, and Rinna.
Garcelle says, Notice who is here and notice who is out there.
She later tells Crystal that no one is on her side.
Sides are weird, Crystal says.
Shes right, but there are clearly sides.
Garcelle says ever since I joined this group, i.e.
No one could pierce it, and the clique would close ranks and decimate whoever opposed them.
Lisa Rinna is dissolving into a leopard print sleeping bag masquerading as a parka to escape the law.
I only mention this dinner so I could talk about their outfits.
The next morningthe first blockbuster article about Tom and Erikacomes out in theL.A.
That makes complete sense.
The article is not good.
The women have different reactions to this and fall into the same camps that fans have fallen into.
Kyle says if $20 million showed up in her account, she would notice it and ask questions.
Kyle has lots of questions, and Lisa believes her friend.
Shes totally right, but that may not be the way every rich wife runs or ignores her LLC.
There is no way I can sugar-coat this: the article looks bad for Erika.
But what Sutton instigates next seems a little bit odd to me.
She calls the women and says they should meet to discuss the situation without Erika.
Dorits house is nominated because she owns Gucci glasses (Gucci makes glasses?)
Before the meeting, Dorit says she wants to sit down with Erika and ask, Did you know?
Of course she does, and sheshould.
I think it is fair, and I dont think Erika would mind being asked those questions.
Sutton arrives last and sits down with a speech she has seemingly rehearsed.
She has something she wants to say.
I think we are being placed in a bad position, she says.
I think we are hearing stories that, to me, dont add up.
Sutton then closes by saying she doesnt want to be around our friend during this time.
I think that Sutton is right.
That isnt much of a friend.
Thats not even much of an enemy.
Everyone deserves a trial, right, and I cant wait to see how next weeks cross-examination goes.
