The New Jersey Housewives have given the Bravo-verse legal lessons in everything from defamation, to restraining orders, to assault. But when Teresa and Joe Guidice were sentenced to prison for bank, mail, wire and bankruptcy fraud, it became one of the most shocking moments in reality TV history. In this episode, Kiki is lawyering up with Cesie Alvarez, attorney and host of the Bravo Docket podcast, to answer the question-why on earth would someone commit federal crimes on camera? And together they reveal that the cases surrounding the RHONJ are much darker than people think.

Kate Middleton, formally known as Catherine, Princess of Wales, announced on March 22, 2024 that she has cancer. It came as a shock to many, but for some-it was straight up unbelievable and led to many conspiracies. In this episode, Kiki is diving into those conspiracy theories with Betches’ resident Royal expert Samantha Bush, who runs the wildly popular account @bravohistorian and is the host of the Chronically Online podcast. Together, they discuss why Kate Middleton became "QAnon for Wine Moms," how the Pop Apologists account contributed to the spread online, and why we should all stan Camilla Parker Bowles.
