Eva Marcille is ‘smiling anyway’ after filing for divorce from Michael Sterling

Eva Marcille shared a cryptic post on Instagram following the news that she’s divorcing Michael Sterling after 5 years of marriage.

The “Real Housewives of Atlanta” alum filed the paperwork last week, saying their union is “irretrievably broken” and that “there are no prospects for a reconciliation.”

Taking to her Instagram story Tuesday, the Bravolebrity sat beside a friend before flashing a smile at the camera, saying, “Tues-yay.”

“That’s a fake ass smile, but it’s okay,” she went on. “Smile anyway, right?”

Earlier in the day, the reality star posted a painting that showed a ballerina wearing a point shoe on one foot, with the other covered in blood and bandages.

“The pain under the beauty,” the image was captioned, seemingly a subtle reference to her current situation.

The 38-year-old tied the knot with trial lawyer Sterling in 2018.

The pair went on to welcome two children: son Michael “Mikey” Jr., who will turn 5 next month, and son Maverick, who will celebrate his 4th birthday in September.

Marcille also shares 9-year-old daughter Marley with R&B singer Kevin McCall.

However, Sterling raised the little girl as his own and even gave her his last name in 2020.

In her divorce filing, Marcille demanded legal and primary custody of the children as well as child support.

As for the couple’s assets, the “America’s Next Top Model” winner said she wants everything to be divided equally.

“This has been one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make, but sometimes life takes your journey in a direction you were not expecting,” she told People in a statement.

“Our children remain our biggest priority, and the eight and half years we have spent together will always be cherished. We ask that you respect our privacy at this time.”

In 2017, the pair got engaged on Christmas Day but have since come to live in “a bona fide state of separation,” according to Marcille.

Sterling made appearances on “RHOA” in Seasons 11 and 12 when Marcille was a main fixture on the hit Bravo show.

She has not returned to the show since Season 13.

Teresa reveals why she didn’t want Melissa’s family at wedding

Holding on to grudges.

Teresa Giudice revealed that she didn’t invite Melissa Gorga’s family to her wedding because of a series of social media comments they made a decade ago.

“OK, I guess I’ll be honest. What happened 10 years ago is I got busy, and I guess they got jealous,” Giudice said in a confessional on Tuesday’s episode of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey.”

Giudice’s comment referred to her being cast as part of the original Jersey ladies in 2009, while Gorga didn’t get to join until Season 3.

The episode then flashed back to the infamous 2011 christening where Gorga’s sister Lysa Simpson told Giudice that her invitation to the family event was a “technicality.”

Teresa Giudice revealed that she didn’t invite Melissa Gorga’s side of the family to her wedding because of comments they made on social media a decade ago.
Bravo

“Melissa’s mother and sisters were writing stuff about me on social media, and I know my mother would never write about anybody on social media, so I always just kept my distance after that,” Giudice, 50, added in the confessional.

Gorga’s other sister, Kim Marco Pirrella, had written in 2011 that she liked Giudice “before all the craziness n diva n lies.”

And back in June 2012, Gorga’s mother, Donna Marco, had tweeted, “Here’s how you know teresa is lying, she’s faking.” Marco had also written in an Instagram comment that she was “upset with Teresa and the girls for the hurt Joe [Gorga] is going through.”

Giudice explained that she hasn’t forgotten the things her sister-in-law’s family said about her after the explosive 2011 christening.
Bravo

“I’ll forgive, but I never forget,” Giudice ominously concluded in the confessional.

Giudice’s now husband, Luis Ruelas, had a different approach to the situation and even apologized to Donna before asking her to not “hold it against me” during a group luau party at the Gorga’s Jersey Shore house.

“Never! I’m happy for you, I’m happy for her,” Donnna said while hugging Ruelas, 47.

Without talking to Giudice first, Ruelas apologized to Melissa’s mom for not inviting her to the wedding.

Giudice said she was fine with Ruelas apologizing to Donna, because he wanted to be a “peacemaker.”

Ruelas later told Giudice about his conversation with Donna and she gave him the green light to invite her after all.

“I’d love to invite Donna! Would you be mad at me?” Ruelas asked his future wife, to which she shook her head no.

Ruelas went to go invite Donna, but the olive branch couldn’t be fully extended as she had already left the party.

Melissa and Joe seemingly did not directly address Giudice about not inviting her side of the family.

“Do I wish that Luis would’ve discussed it with me prior to speaking Donna? Of course,” Giudice said in a confessional. “But I love Luis, [and] I know he’s trying to be a peacemaker.”

However, Giudice subtly shaded her brother, Joe Gorga, by saying that “all of this could’ve been avoided” with an honest conversation, but Joe “loves a spectacle.”

The couple’s decision to not invite Melissa’s mother and sisters previously led to an explosive argument between Joe, 48, and Ruelas at a boys’ night.

Joe previously called out his future brother-in-law for not giving his in-law the “respect” of an invitation.

“It’s like ‘F–k you, you mean nothing to me,’” Gorga told Ruelas before threatening to “break your f–king balls!”

Since Marco had left the party, it’s unclear if Giudice and Ruelas did invite her, but in the end, it didn’t matter.

As Page Six previously reported, the entire Gorga family skipped out on Giudice and Ruelas’ wedding on Aug. 6 after their tumultuous relationship reached an all-time low.

The two families have yet to repair their relationship.

“The Real Housewives of New Jersey” airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.

‘RHOC’s Emily Simpson shows before-and-after facelift photos

Emily Simpson is a big fan of her facelift.

The “Real Housewives of Orange County” star showed her Instagram followers before-and-after photos from a recent procedure on Thursday.

“A couple years ago I was watching myself on TV, and to my utter surprise I realized that I had completely lost my jawline,” the former Bravo personality wrote.

She blamed the change on “being middle-aged, gaining 30 pounds and then losing it” and menopause.

“After a lot of research and three consultations,” the ex-reality star underwent a “mini lower face/neck lift.”

Simpson gushed over her “amazing” results, joking, “I still look like myself … just like myself before my jawline packed up and left town.”

She added, “I still work out hard and work out consistently, but once you reach a certain age there are just things you cannot change naturally. I choose a combo approach.”

The lawyer, who has also gone under the knife for breast implants (which she eventually removed), reminded trolls that plastic surgery is her decision to make.

She gushed over the “amazing” results.

“All women are allowed to choose what they do with their bodies and how they would like to age. From completely natural to surgery,” Simpson wrote.

The party planner teased “another [recent] surgery” that she will reveal soon.

Simpson joined the “RHOC” cast in 2018. Ahead of Season 16 in 2021, the reality star had her facial fillers dissolved.

“The filler had migrated on my face and there was too much right underneath my eyes,” she told People at the time.

“It gave me what I call ‘The Cabbage Patch Kid’ look, which made me lose my eyes,” Simpson continued. “The area directly under my eyes was too puffy.”

Kyle Richards ‘cannot stand’ Ozempic rumors: It’s ‘frustrating’

One more time for the people in the back!

Kyle Richards has issued another Ozempic denial, calling rumors that she takes the diabetes-turned-weight-loss drug “frustrating.”

The “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star “cannot stand” the speculation, she told Extra on Wednesday.

“Sometimes I turn my cheek the other way and ignore it, but I work really hard and it really bothers me,” the Bravo personality, 54, explained. “I would like to be able to be an inspiration to people.

“So don’t think I took the easy way out,” she continued. “Follow what I’m doing and you’ll see changes.”

The reality star clarified that she slimmed down by working out “for two hours every day.”

Richards explained, “I really put a lot of effort into my diet and exercise and taking care of myself, so when people like to think I took the easy way out, it’s frustrating.”

The actress first clapped back at rumors last month, telling an Instagram hater that she has “never” tried Ozempic.

“This is not from plastic surgery,” she added in the January commnet. “I’m honest about what I do. But if giving plastic surgery the credit makes you feel better then pop off.”

The following week, the “Little House on the Prairie” alum elaborated on her fit figure on Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge’s “Two Ts in a Pod” podcast.

“After gaining weight during the summer … I said, ‘That is it. I’m not having any sugar, any carbs, any alcohol,’” Richards told listeners on Jan. 23.

Richards has denied using the diabetes drug on multiple occasions.

Except for enjoying “a bit of birthday cake” now and again, the “Halloween” star has stuck to her diet.

Richards dismissed allegations of Ozempic use at the time, noting that she hasn’t used Mounjaro, a similar medication, nor “any of the shots.”

While Khloé Kardashian and other stars have denied losing weight with the drug, Chelsea Handler admitted to trying Ozempic without realizing during a “Call Her Daddy” interview.

“I’m not on it anymore,” the comedian said in January. “I’m an irresponsible drug user, but I’m not gonna take a diabetic drug.”

Jen Shah carries (possibly fake) Gucci bag to sentencing hearing

Jen Shah is looking polished at court.

The “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” star appeared for her sentencing during her fraud trial on Friday, wearing a camel-colored coat with a matching monochromatic leopard-print pussy-bow top.

Shah, who was sentenced to six-and-a-half years in prison for wire fraud, also carried a Gucci leopard-print clutch ($1,190) for the occasion — less than one month after it was revealed that federal authorities confiscated more than 50 counterfeit purses and pieces of jewelry from the reality star’s home in Utah.

She previously clutched the same bag at BravoCon afterparties (though she was not invited to any of the formal events).

It would seem the Italian fashion label is a go-to for Shah, who paired a red Gucci handbag worth more than $2,000 with a pearl-accented Gucci logo belt to the courthouse in July 2022.

Among the items, according to documents obtained by Page Six, were handbags marked “Louis Vuitton,” “Chanel,” “Fendi,” “Jimmy Choo” and “Gucci,” although neither the red purse nor the leopard clutch were described among the knockoffs.

The Bravolebrity was arrested in March 2021 for allegedly scamming hundreds of victims in a telemarketing scheme, prompting the raid of her home. However, the inventory list — which also included real designer goods — was released after Shah pleaded guilty in July to help her pay the $9.5 million in restitution she owes.

The “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” star previously carried the same purse at BravoCon afterparties.

At her plea hearing, Shah admitted she knowingly offered bogus services.

“From 2012 to March 2021 in the Southern District of New York and elsewhere, I agreed with others to commit wire fraud,” Shah said. “I did this by knowingly providing customer names to people who were marketing business services that had little or no value.”

Her husband, Sharrieff Shah Sr., pleaded with the judge to show leniency in the sentencing at the time.

‘Real Housewives’ star Jen Shah to face sentencing for telemarketing fraud scheme

Disgraced “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” star Jen Shah will be sentenced by a federal judge in Manhattan Friday for running a yearslong telemarketing scam that targeted elderly Americans. 

Federal prosecutors want Judge Sidney Stein to hand the fallen reality TV star up to 10 years in prison over the scheme, arguing she helped siphon the life savings of her victims for nearly a decade. 

“At the defendant’s direction, victims were defrauded over and over again until they had nothing left,” prosecutors wrote in their sentencing submission. 

“[Shah] and her co-conspirators persisted in their conduct until the victims’ bank accounts were empty, their credit cards were at their limits, and there was nothing more to take,” they wrote.

Shah, 49, pleaded guilty in July to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud for providing “leads” about who to target to a crew of telemarketers that duped victims into investing in dubious online projects. 

The scammers offered their marks bogus business services beginning in 2012 — then pocketed the cash and provided the victims “products” and “services” that were of little or no value. 

At her plea hearing, Shah told Judge Stein she knew the services being offered were basically worthless.

“From 2012 to March 2021 in the Southern District of New York and elsewhere, I agreed with others to commit wire fraud,” Shah said. 

“I did this by knowingly providing customer names to people who were marketing business services that had little or no value,” she added. 

Shah’s defense attorneys argued in their own sentencing submission that she should serve three years in prison, arguing that while she played a significant role in the fraud, she was not a leader of the operation.

“Ms. Shah’s piece of the puzzle, though important, was not enough to carry out this fraud without these other crucial pieces controlled and directed by experienced criminals (who were not Ms. Shah),” her attorneys wrote. 

“There is neither reason nor evidence to place Ms. Shah at the ‘Godfather’ or ‘Kingpin’ level of this fraud,” they added.

Braunwyn Windham-Burke sparks engagement rumors with girlfriend

Braunwyn Windham-Burke began the new year with some bling and a “promise.”

The “Real Housewives of Orange County” alum and her girlfriend of less than five months, Jennifer Spinner, sported flashy diamond rings in Windham-Burke’s quickly deleted Instagram Story Monday, sparking engagement rumors.

“We started 2023 with a promise ❤️,” the former reality star wrote atop a photo of her left hand placed over Spinner’s right as the two were in a car, road-tripping from Wilmington, NC, to Charleston, SC.

While both women showed off silver eternity bands, Windham-Burke’s was notably on her left ring finger — where an engagement ring would normally go.

“You really never know. Braunwyn is Braunwyn!” a source close to the mother of seven — who came out as a lesbian in 2020 — tells Page Six exclusively regarding a potential proposal. “I do know that the two are madly in love.”

The two sported diamond rings in the “RHOC” alum’s Instagram Story Monday.

Our insider adds that Windham-Burke’s children — Bella, 22, Rowan, 20, Jacob, 17, twins Caden and Curren, 9, Koa, 7, and Hazel, 4 — as well as her estranged husband, Sean Burke, “love” Spinner.

Additionally, we’re told there is a significant reason behind the lovebirds’ road trip, as they are “searching for a forever home for the family.”

Spinner, 38 — who splits her time between New York and Germany — pointed out that her family also lives in Wilmington.

Spinner has been dating the mother of seven since August 2022.

Although Windham-Burke — who filed for divorce from Burke in October — previously said she most likely wouldn’t get married again, she admitted she might “change [her] mind” for Spinner — her first “mentally stable” partner.

“There would be something nice [about] walking down an aisle and see[ing her] waiting for me,” Windham told us last month. “That would be pretty beautiful.”

“I love her. I love her so much,” she added. “I just, I love her.”

NeNe Leakes gives health update on son Brentt after stroke

NeNe Leakes shared a happy update on her son Brentt Leakes’ health just in time for the holidays.

The former “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star, 54, shared on her Instagram Stories on Wednesday that the 23-year-old club owner is learning to walk again after suffering a stroke on Sept. 26.

In one of the clips, Brentt appears dressed in a hot pink track suit, while taking a few steps in the hallway of a hospital.

Nurses and NeNe can be heard cheering from him as he walks around.

“I’m so happy for you,” the proud mom adds. “This is so good.”

She then noted in a text post, “To God be the Glory.”

It appears that Brentt had just been discharged from the hospital as NeNe pointed out that he was “walking out” after being admitted just two months ago.

“Home just in time for The holidays,” the reality star also posted, before adding, “Nurses are the best.”

NeNe also gave a glimpse of what Brentt’s recovery actually looked like by sharing a video of him “learning to walk again” on a treadmill with a contraption that helped keep him up.

In a separate video, he was seen taking steps backwards while again hooked up to a device that helped him walk as he threw a basketball and worked on his hand-eye coordination.

In early October, NeNe confirmed the news that her son had been rushed to the hospital after suffering “congested heart failure and a stroke.”

At the time, she said doctors were still working to find answers as to why Brentt had experienced such health issues at such a young age.

However, the former Bravolebrity said experts had ruled out concerns about his weight.

“Just in time” for the holidays, NeNe said of her son being released from the hospital.
WireImage

“They were thinking that maybe he had caught COVID and maybe he didn’t know that he had COVID,” NeNe said at the time, noting that doctors allegedly informed her that people who have had the Delta variant of the infection have experienced similar issues.

The “shocked” reality star added at the time, “We are still trying to figure it out, because if we knew the cause then obviously they could treat the cause.”

It is unclear if NeNe has finally learned what brought about Brentt’s condition.
