Liz & Dino: The Ongoing
As a native, here are some articles that circled a few years ago about the ongoing.
EXCLUSIVE: Documents Show RISP Source Claims McGraw Tied to Guilmette's Alleged Cocaine Dealing
“Source Five reported to your Affiant that he suspects that Elizabeth McGraw is supplying the money, also referred to as ‘fronting,’ to Dino Guilmette for these large scale cocaine shipments. Source Five admitted that Elizabeth McGraw is substantially compensated from the profits of this cocaine operation by Guilmette and his associates,” states the State Police documents.

The McGraws are socially close to Guilmette and, according to Rhode Island State Police documents, have other links tied to the illegal drug industry.
(Dino) Guilmette had previously made global news for his relationship for having fathered a child with Aaron Hernandez’ former fiancée Shayanna Jenkins.
RISP sought court approval of wiretap intercepts between Guilmette and a number of individuals, including Gerald and Elizabeth McGraw; Matthew "Matty" Guglielmetti, the underboss of the New England-based Patriarca crime family of La Cosa Nostra; and Richard "Ricky" Dion another known La Cosa Nostra associate and close friend of Guilmette.
Rulla 🥴
I genuinely don’t understand Rulla and her loyalty to Brian. He makes her look like a giant fool over and over again. Why put yourself through this? It’s SO difficult to watch. Is she just stupid? Delulu? I want to shake her!! Please tell me they’re not still together now.
Side note - Jared’s faces during the whole Rulla & Brian vs JE segment of the reunion were absolutely hilarious
Prediction
How much do yall wanna bet on later seasons Jo-Ellen will do something yall don’t like and everyone will switch up on her and be like, “I knew she was evil when she was bullying Rulla at the reunion”. I’m predicting this bc the tables always turn and yall always switch up on your “favs”
Liz leaves RHORI
Source: https://deadline.com/2026/07/liz-mcgraw-exits-the-real-housewives-of-rhode-island-bravo-1236972298/
Liz McGraw is moving on from The Real Housewives of Rhode Island after one season on the Bravo reality series.
As filming for the second season of RHORI ramps up, McGraw has confirmed she won’t be returning.
“I’m full of gratitude for the amazing opportunity to appear on this show,” McGraw shared in a statement on Instagram. “As filming for Season 2 begins, I have made the decision to take a step back and focus on my family, my work and my passions.”
She continued, “The RHORI cast is an amazing group of women who have created something special. I’ll be watching next season, rooting for the continued success of this franchise. For now, I look forward to enjoying this little corner of the world from the other side of the camera.”
Alicia is my favorite, but she was a waste of first chair
Alicia barely spoke dusting the reunion. Not that’s he needs to, but it would have been better if Jo Ellen was first chair. I’m hoping that Jo Ellen is first chair no matter what next season. She is so damn entertaining. “Your husbands a slut.” 😁
I think Liz knew she was leaving weeks ago but wasn't allowed to announce it until after the reunion
reddit.comJust now watching reunion
Okay I'm obviously late to the game. Just now watching part 1 of the reunion.
Probably an unpopular
Opinion but I really think JoEllen has done a good job of taking accountability for her actions and words.
She doesn't yell over and interrupt nearly as much as rulla or Liz. Says yeah girl I did that shit when they call her out on something. I love that for her. I even looked up her birthday to see if she was a libra bc I felt she was giving Libra energy.
Yes she's a little unhinged and nosey but she doesn't lie about it!!
Why didn’t Andy confront Kelsey if her SD and her really broke up 2 years ago?
I was wondering why Andy didn’t ask Kelsey about the rumors swirling that her and her sugar daddy haven’t been together in 2 years ? I feel like Andy brought up rumors about every else but the most important one for Kelsey.
💦🐚 RHORI Reunion Part 2 Discussion 🐚💦
The women are joined by their men to discuss the ups and downs of the season; Gerry and Liz address the rumors about their marriage; Billy makes a new kind of proposal to Alicia; Brian is in the hot seat and faced with some hard questions.
Jo-Ellen is like SpongeBob
In that episode in which he rips his pants. At first what she was doing was entertaining. The more she does it the less amusing it gets. It’s at a point now that it’s cringe (the garlic butt comment put me over the edge)
JoEllen mean girl
this is just solely my opinion. it gets to a point where it gets annoying. ok I get it that Brian should be exposed and he got fired.. BUT this is just CRUEL. Rulla doesn’t want to know all this information on national television. she has kids like cmon Jo..
Whose Stock Has Gone Up and Who’s Went Down?
Scroll to the bottom for the TLDR, because I’m aware I write essays, but here’s my reasoning.
Alicia- I think slightly down. She’s still my favorite on the cast, but I think this second part did make her look a little neglectful with the finances. I’m not saying she’s an idiot by any means, but after (rightfully) complaining about her lack of financial freedom and then learning she hasn’t done anything about it wasn’t great. It would have been one thing if Billy was not letting her, but both of them agreed she just wasn’t doing anything about it. I still love her, think she’s charming, hilarious, and authentic. I do think she and Jo-Ellen should have switched places, but Alicia is still my favorite.
Jo-Ellen- This was Jo-Ellen’s reunion. Even if I think she came off a little unhinged and went a bit too hard on Rulla (her fury at Brian was deserved). Even if I believe her and think she’s right, her delivery could’ve been ever so slightly more tactful. I am fully expecting a supervillain arc for her next season, especially if she keeps going down this path. I think her stock went slightly up. She should’ve been first seat over Alicia.
Kelsey- Stock down. It’s clear she cannot keep up with these women verbally and was Jo-Ellen’s mouthpiece. I wasn’t expecting her to do that great, and she didn’t. But Rosie had her looking like a complete fool.
Liz- Stock up. I think she did very well this reunion, kept her cool, explained herself well. The only time I thought she could have gotten to her screaming self was when she was mocking Jo-Ellen for saying she was scared of her, but she got back on track. I also think she handled herself well with Rulla and everything she was doing. I have been on a journey with her this season, I started out enjoying her, then I hated her, now I’m more neutral. I still think she’s a ticking time bomb, but she didn’t explode this time.
Rulla- Miss Rulla, I want to root for you. But you are so frustrating to watch. We will start without the Brian stuff- she came to fight but got ate up every single time. She brought a water gun to a pistol match. She came for Liz for seemingly no reason, made baseless accusations against Jo-Ellen, just overall was made to look ridiculous. Now onto Brian. He’s a terrible liar and Rulla is terrible at covering for him, and then he continues to make her look stupid but revealing things she didn’t know. Now, with all that being said, I root for her and need her to leave this man. She’s clearly intelligent outside of this, and I guess it’s subjective, but she’s gorgeous and is with… Brian who in my opinion is not that great looking and it’s not like he has a stellar personality. I know people have speculated something darker in her marriage, and I hope that’s not the case. Even the story of basically getting Rulla drunk to take her home was disturbing to me. I do think Jo-Ellen had some misplaced anger towards Rulla when it comes to Rulla, and I don’t believe Jo-Ellen’s intentions are as pure as she tries to make it seem. Hoping for a redemption arc for Rulla next season, but I’m not sure. I still say stock down.
Rosie- Stock way up. I thought she handled herself very well and calmly ate up Kelsey. I do think she handled Rulla way better than Jo-Ellen. I originally thought she was gonna be like Ashley Darby or Whitney Rose, but she’s way better as a housewife (right now). I still could see her going down that path, but right now she’s fine.
Ashley- Stock the same. She really didn’t have much to say, but in fairness her role really isn’t as a fighter like the others. I am glad she told Rulla she’s better than Brian, because she’s right. I hope she continues to come out of her shell more, I’ve enjoyed watching her this season.
TLDR
Alicia- Stock slightly down
Jo-Ellen- Stock slightly up
Kelsey- Stock down
Liz- Stock up
Rulla- Stock down
Rosie- Stock way up
Ashley- Stock the same

Alicia please 😆😆😆
Alicia telling Jo-Ellen in all seriousness she couldn’t bust up Rulla’s face because of her new nose just about took me to glory.
Was Vaping at the Reunion Allowed?
Did anyone else catch Liz vaping during the reunion? I thought Andy would definitely comment on it or at least ask her about it, but he acted like it wasn't happening. At one point she was waving her hands to move the smoke away! Was I the only one surprised?
