Erika's $25m lawsuit dismissed??
What is this!? It says the entire case has been dismissed. As in permanently. HUH?
I also read the start date was pushed back from May 19 to May 26.
I THEN read she settled for $2 million.
Which, if any, is true!?
Was Andy playing along with the storyline when he said he'd never seen Erika cry so hard as she did after her Rome fight with Dorit?
I mean...I do believe Erika was definitely very upset after that fight, but for Andy to say at the reunion that he'd NEVER seen her cry so hard?? Come on, man!
She cried a LOT during season 11 about the Tom stuff and her life, particularly the scene hiking with Kyle (non-waterproof mascara), she also cried in season 10 when Tom said he was proud of her when she got Chicago. She cried in therapy this season when talking about her DV.
All those times were MUCH more "cry-worthy" than after the fight with Dorit. Unless there was a lot more shown to Andy that we didn't see.
Is this cycle considered "regular"?
I started my period on 2 May. It ended on 4 May (the standard 3 days for me lately). I got the typical post period hormonal headache on period day 3 and that finally went away on 7 May. Then I felt ok and for the first time in weeks did NOT fall asleep multiple times on the couch while trying to watch a movie or Youtube videos. Until 12 May, when my boobs felt sore, my feet felt a bit sore, I felt a bit bloated, and then fell asleep on the couch that night. Ovulation. These PMS symptoms always start when I ovulate and then just worsen and escalate until the next period.
Before peri, the PMS symptoms always started 3-5 days before my period, and now it's SO early. Is this still considered a regular cycle?
Period days 1-3, hormones acting like PMS until day 6, and then ovulating again on day 11? My normal ovulation is between days 12-15, though normally 14-15. My period app says my next period is due on 2 June.
So basically, this month I only got FOUR days of NOT feeling exhausted, sick, uncomfortable, pained, extra anxious, depressed and irritable? FOUR. DAYS.
Questions and curiosities about Erika
I have some questions about Erika with regard to money and behaviour.
Does she rent everything (house, car) so she can declare bankruptcy if she has to (if the court finds she must pay however many millions) and they can't take any of it to sell and recoup debt? In that case, all they could do would be to garnish her RHOBH earning and any other income. Then after however long, she could (if she has any money by then) buy stuff again.
Given the above, if she moved in with someone (a partner) who did own stuff, would THEY be impacted even if she doesn't marry again?
At the reunion, Erika said she didn't want to talk in a public forum (on camera / at the reunion) about what REALLY pushed her over the edge with what Dorit said - that she had used Dorit for a storyline / drama to save her job. She said she told Andy that she didn't want to say it. So Dorit was confused (maybe) as it was the first time Erika had brought up to her. So ok, fair enough. HOWEVER, my question is - how long is it between end of filming and the reunion? 3 months? 6 months? WHY DID ERIKA NOT TELL DORIT THIS IN PRIVATE DURING ALL THAT TIME!?!?
How do you know what you need!?
I'm 47 and so confused. I don't know if I have too much or too little estrogen, and also progesterone.
The diagrams they show of the monthly cycle show that estrogen spikes really high at ovulation (when I first start to feel hideous during the month, and it feels like a mini period) and is still a bit high from then until the period comes (all throughout the luteal phase, when I feel terrible the entire time, and worse the closer my period gets). So this implies I have too MUCH estrogen.
Then, the diagram shows progesterone as slightly spiking at ovulation (again, when I feel bad) and then getting higher and higher heading towards the period, which again implies I have too MUCH progesterone.
So how does HRT help this!?
Ok, so I'm definitely no Camille fan, but I've been re-watching a few random episodes lately from seasons 6-9 and just saw the one from season 9 where Camille said PK owed her friend a heap of money and then she told Rinna she wondered how Dorit got all her money and that she found her fake.
Now, everyone's talking about it.
Then, in season 14 at Kyle's cowboy party, Camille seemed to go insane at Dorit out of nowhere, and appeared to feel incredibly angry on behalf of...whoever...that Dorit was always late and kept people waiting for glam reasons. It seemed like she was unhinged and trying to have a "moment". Dorit called her a c*nt. Erika also did in the associated confessional. It was funny and I actually loved it.
But now, Kyle and Erika are the ones going on about Dorit being late. Seems like THEY are trying to have a "moment".
Was Camille right this whole time? Or is everyone else now just crazy?
I just re-watched this and somehow didn't notice the first time that Dorit told Erika to stop, and Erika said (calmly) that she's not gonna stop. Dorit and Kyle were going at it at the Erika / Dorit birthday dinner, Kyle seemed to glance to the side and then Erika kind of apathetically chimed in.
Much later, in Rome, Erika interjected again during the Kyle and Dorit argument, Dorit got frustrated again (though was still not rude to Erika) and for a second time told Erika to stop / hold on, as she was trying to deal with Kyle. Erika again said she was not gonna stop, and seemed to get carried away, thinking Dorit was telling her to shut up or to stop talking forever, etc.
THEN I remember (based on another thread about Erika and the emotional abuse by Tom during their marriage) Tom telling Erika to be quiet ("I'M talking now, Erika.") Maybe being told to stop / be quiet is a trigger.
Was that supposed to be...nice, or a dig?
Did Dorit bring that makeup bag (that Erika gave her many years ago) on purpose to (a) show Erika she still values her, or (b) as a dig?
Erika noticed it and asked if that was the bag, and Dorit said "Sure is! That's how much you've meant to me!" What does that actually mean? Like, she still uses this gift from Erika all these years later?
And then Erika goes "SAME!" What does THAT mean? Was it said in anger, or agreement with Dorit but said with a firm and frustrated tone? Was she saying that's how much Dorit has meant to her too?
What? 🤪
