<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Welcome to the first part of <strong><a href="https://www.realitytea.com/show/real-housewives-of-orange-county/">The Real Housewives of Orange County</a> </strong>Season 20 reunion.<strong> </strong>Last time, Vicki gathered past and present RHOC housewives to <a href="https://www.realitytea.com/2026/10/30/real-housewives-of-orange-county-rhoc-season-20-episode-17-recap/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.realitytea.com/2026/10/30/real-housewives-of-orange-county-rhoc-season-20-episode-17-recap/">celebrate the show’s 20<sup>th</sup> birthday</a>. And Gina confronted Tamra and Heather for comments they made about her finances.</p>



<h2 id="h-what-happened-in-real-housewives-of-orange-county-season-20-episode-18" class="wp-block-heading">What happened in Real Housewives of Orange County Season 20 Episode 18?</h2>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Vicki defended her <a href="https://www.realitytea.com/2026/10/15/vicki-gunvalson-problem-rhoc-cast/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.realitytea.com/2026/10/15/vicki-gunvalson-problem-rhoc-cast/">history of mom-shaming</a>. And Heather was raked over the coals for talking about Tamra and Carmella behind their backs.</p>



<h2 id="h-it-s-all-about-vicki" class="wp-block-heading">It’s all about Vicki</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img decoding="async" width="667" height="1000" src="https://www.realitytea.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2026/11/Vicki-Gunvalson-RHOC-seaosn-20-reuniuon-Nov.-5-2026.jpg" alt="Real Housewives of Orange County Season 20 Episode 18" class="wp-image-1253707" style="width:916px;height:auto" srcset="https://www.realitytea.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2026/11/Vicki-Gunvalson-RHOC-seaosn-20-reuniuon-Nov.-5-2026.jpg 667w, https://www.realitytea.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2026/11/Vicki-Gunvalson-RHOC-seaosn-20-reuniuon-Nov.-5-2026.jpg?resize=200,300 200w, https://www.realitytea.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2026/11/Vicki-Gunvalson-RHOC-seaosn-20-reuniuon-Nov.-5-2026.jpg?resize=38,57 38w, https://www.realitytea.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2026/11/Vicki-Gunvalson-RHOC-seaosn-20-reuniuon-Nov.-5-2026.jpg?resize=76,114 76w" sizes="(max-width: 667px) 100vw, 667px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Photo Credit: Martha Galvan/Bravo</figcaption></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The set brought it <em>way</em> back to the Season 1 reunion, which was held in Vicki’s backyard grotto. Poor Vicki made her entrance in a wheelchair. She had knee surgery 48 hours before the reunion.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A fan question for Vicki asked, “Why can’t you just relax, unplug, and enjoy what you built for yourself?” Vicki replied, “Well, because I have a lot of staff, a lot of employees. I have a responsibility with my company.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In addition, Vicki’s constant desire to work irked her co-stars. Host <a href="https://www.realitytea.com/tag/andy-cohen/">Andy Cohen</a> stated, “It is what the women on <a href="https://www.realitytea.com/show/real-housewives-ultimate-girls-trip/">[Real Housewives] Ultimate Girls’ Trip</a> were saying about you.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Vicki said she understood, noting, “My responsibilities don’t end when I’m doing Housewives or Girls’ Trip. To do two shows and working, it was hard.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Andy pointed out that fans criticized Vicki for <a href="https://www.realitytea.com/2026/08/10/rhugt-vicki-gunvalson-debbie-downer-feature/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.realitytea.com/2026/08/10/rhugt-vicki-gunvalson-debbie-downer-feature/">being “checked out.”</a> Vicki replied that she “did feel reserved. I did feel quiet.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Then, Andy asked about Vicki’s ex-husband, <a href="https://www.realitytea.com/tag/donn-gunvalson/">Donn Gunvalson</a>. “Hypothetically, if he called you tomorrow and said, ‘I want to get back together,’ would you?” Andy asked. “Well, hypothetically, the answer would be, ‘We have a lot to talk about,’” Vicki said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The cast was floored. “I don’t love him anymore the way I did as a wife,” Vicki said. “I’m all about the family.” And while Vicki&#8217;s boyfriend, <a href="https://www.realitytea.com/tag/michael-smith/">Michael Smith</a>, “was supportive” of Vicki reclaiming her orange, he initially didn’t want to film.</p>



<h2 id="h-why-did-vicki-s-boyfriend-call-jenn" class="wp-block-heading">Why did Vicki&#8217;s boyfriend call Jenn?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img decoding="async" width="667" height="1000" src="https://www.realitytea.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2026/11/Jennifer-Pedranti-RHOC-Season-20-reunion-Nov.-5-2026.jpg" alt="Real Housewives of Orange County Season 20 Episode 18" class="wp-image-1253711" style="width:987px;height:auto" srcset="https://www.realitytea.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2026/11/Jennifer-Pedranti-RHOC-Season-20-reunion-Nov.-5-2026.jpg 667w, https://www.realitytea.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2026/11/Jennifer-Pedranti-RHOC-Season-20-reunion-Nov.-5-2026.jpg?resize=200,300 200w, https://www.realitytea.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2026/11/Jennifer-Pedranti-RHOC-Season-20-reunion-Nov.-5-2026.jpg?resize=38,57 38w, https://www.realitytea.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2026/11/Jennifer-Pedranti-RHOC-Season-20-reunion-Nov.-5-2026.jpg?resize=76,114 76w" sizes="(max-width: 667px) 100vw, 667px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Photo Credit: Martha Galvan/Bravo</figcaption></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">After Jenn called Vicki and Mike’s relationship “sad” in the press, Jenn received a call. “To call me at 10 o’clock at night, from your phone number, and Michael just let me have it. Cussed at me,” Jenn stated. &nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Vicki admitted that she spoke to Jenn on the phone first. “Well, he told me to keep his f*cking name out of my mouth,” Jenn said. So, Vicki rolled her eyes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When Jenn called her out, Vicki said, “I’m gonna roll them large.” Is it almost time for recess?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“However it happened, he got on the phone and was aggressive at her, and that’s inappropriate,” Gina said. “I just tell him to stay out of it,” Vicki responded. “I can’t be responsible for everybody.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Next, Andy asked Shannon if something had happened between her and Mike at The Quiet Woman in June 2026. Shannon froze, while the ladies confirmed that it did. “Well, I was upset, and Mike was talking to the owner, and then she looked over at me and laughed,” Shannon explained. She suspected that they were discussing her.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Well, you said to him, ‘Why are you hugging her goodbye?’” Tamra stated. “And then Mike got upset, and, like, he basically said, ‘I’ve known her for 25 years. Don’t you f*cking worry about who I’m hugging. It’s none of your business.’”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Finally, Shannon admitted that she was upset by the incident, but they “worked through it.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Naturally, the ladies weighed in about Vicki’s ring. Shannon explained that Mike bought it “because it was beautiful and he knew he wanted to give it to her when it was the right time.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">However, Vicki said that she <a href="https://www.realitytea.com/2026/09/23/rhoc-couples-doomed-survive/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.realitytea.com/2026/09/23/rhoc-couples-doomed-survive/">doesn’t want to get remarried</a>. And no one, including Vicki, has ever seen the mysterious ring.</p>



<h2 id="h-tamra-s-tangled-relationships" class="wp-block-heading">Tamra’s tangled relationships</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="667" height="1000" src="https://www.realitytea.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2026/11/Tamra-Judge-RHOC-Season-20-reunion-Nov.-5-2026.jpg" alt="Real Housewives of Orange County Season 20 Episode 18" class="wp-image-1253713" style="width:946px;height:auto" srcset="https://www.realitytea.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2026/11/Tamra-Judge-RHOC-Season-20-reunion-Nov.-5-2026.jpg 667w, https://www.realitytea.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2026/11/Tamra-Judge-RHOC-Season-20-reunion-Nov.-5-2026.jpg?resize=200,300 200w, https://www.realitytea.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2026/11/Tamra-Judge-RHOC-Season-20-reunion-Nov.-5-2026.jpg?resize=38,57 38w, https://www.realitytea.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2026/11/Tamra-Judge-RHOC-Season-20-reunion-Nov.-5-2026.jpg?resize=76,114 76w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 667px) 100vw, 667px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Photo Credit: Martha Galvan/Bravo</figcaption></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Next, Andy brought up the drama between Vicki and Tamra. Namely, over <a href="https://www.realitytea.com/2026/10/16/tamra-judge-cries-estrangement-daughter-sidney/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.realitytea.com/2026/10/16/tamra-judge-cries-estrangement-daughter-sidney/">Vicki’s podcast comments</a> about Tamra’s relationship with her estranged daughter, <a href="https://www.realitytea.com/tag/sidney-barney/">Sidney Barney</a>. “At the time, that was two and a half years ago. She was so awful to Shannon, and I felt protective over Shannon,” Vicki commented.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Tamra said that she and Vicki “were not in a bad place.” She added that they “never discussed it before starting to film.” As for Tamra and Shannon’s current relationship? Tamra asked, “Are we co-workers, or are we friends?”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Shannon responded, “I can’t, for myself, go back to where we were 10 years ago.” However, Shannon spent two hours on the phone talking with Tamra the night before the premiere. Heather called Shannon out for sending “mixed signals.” In the end, both ladies decided to move forward.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">During a break, Vicki left the couch, and Emily, Gina, and Shannon discussed how Vicki, Tamra, and <a href="https://www.realitytea.com/tag/alexis-bellino/">Alexis Bellino</a> were in a group chat. “I mean, she was hugging f*cking <a href="https://www.realitytea.com/tag/john-janssen/">John [Janssen]</a> coming into the party,” Shannon said, referencing her ex-boyfriend. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Later, Andy brought up how Carmella and her boyfriend, <a href="https://www.realitytea.com/tag/danny-hampel/">Danny Hampel</a>, called it quits. “It’s not easy &#8217;cause there was a lot of love there, but it’s not healthy for me,” Carmella said. “I couldn’t get truth from him.” </p>



<h2 id="h-vicki-denies-mom-shaming-carmella" class="wp-block-heading">Vicki denies mom-shaming Carmella</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="667" height="1000" src="https://www.realitytea.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2026/11/Carmella-Garcia-RHOC-Season-20-reunion-Nov.-5-2026.jpg" alt="Real Housewives of Orange County Season 20 Episode 18" class="wp-image-1253717" style="width:961px;height:auto" srcset="https://www.realitytea.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2026/11/Carmella-Garcia-RHOC-Season-20-reunion-Nov.-5-2026.jpg 667w, https://www.realitytea.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2026/11/Carmella-Garcia-RHOC-Season-20-reunion-Nov.-5-2026.jpg?resize=200,300 200w, https://www.realitytea.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2026/11/Carmella-Garcia-RHOC-Season-20-reunion-Nov.-5-2026.jpg?resize=38,57 38w, https://www.realitytea.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2026/11/Carmella-Garcia-RHOC-Season-20-reunion-Nov.-5-2026.jpg?resize=76,114 76w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 667px) 100vw, 667px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Photo Credit: Martha Galvan/Bravo</figcaption></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Another fan question for Vicki read, “You’ve said numerous times that you don’t like bullying and mean-girl behavior. So, why bully and mean-girl Carmella the way you did this season?” &nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For once, Vicki took some responsibility. “Straight answer is, I shouldn’t have, and I was wrong. And I <a href="https://www.realitytea.com/2026/08/21/real-housewives-of-orange-county-rhoc-season-20-episode-7-recap/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.realitytea.com/2026/08/21/real-housewives-of-orange-county-rhoc-season-20-episode-7-recap/">was not mom-shaming her</a> going to Vegas. I didn’t say you were a terrible mother,” Vicki stated. “I said, ‘You’re living in Corona Del Mar, and you left your four kids back there.’”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">However, Heather disagreed. “I never said anything about her being a bad mother or an absent mother,” Vicki insisted. “I never did.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While Vicki continued to deny mom-shaming Carmella, Heather stated, “No one on the couch agrees with that.” Finally, Carmella chimed in. “In a confessional, Vicki, you said, ‘Looks like Danny’s doing her job,’” Carmella remarked.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cue the flashback footage. “I guess Danny’s filling in her role. Many times,” Vicki commented.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The “OG of the OC” said that Danny told her that he was caring for Carmella’s children. When Vicki complimented his relationship with the kids, Danny reportedly responded, ‘I’m basically taking care of the kids because she’s got to work up in Orange County.’”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“That’s different than saying raising the kids,” Shannon pointed out. “Shannon, you’re doing schematics right now,” Vicki replied, much to Andy’s amusement.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">However, a fan mentioned that Vicki “criticized <a href="https://www.realitytea.com/tag/meghan-king/">Meghan King Edmond’s</a> parenting of her stepdaughter,” and that Vicki remarked that “Tamra needs to be careful because she already lost custody of one child.” Conveniently, Vicki didn’t “recall” slamming Meghan.</p>



<h2 id="h-heather-s-chair-was-radioactive" class="wp-block-heading">Heather’s chair was radioactive</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Next, it was Heather’s turn in the hot seat, and her authenticity was questioned. Andy brought up Heather’s claim that she never talked “about Tamra between seasons” with Jenn. “The truth is, Heather and I have had very real conversations about Tamra and how she feels about you. It’s like you want to curate your character,” Jenn told Heather.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“We all went out last year after the reunion,” Heather said. “We all talked about Tamra. Tamra and I have talked about this,” she added.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“But as you lead the charge on this horrific conversation,” Jenn began. An activated Heather exclaimed, “By the way, I did not lead the charge! I’m saying what happened was, you singled me out because you want her to go down, and you want me to do it,” Heather said, gesturing towards Tamra.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“But I think the difference is, nobody’s sending donuts to Carmella’s house as they’re talking about her trashy hair,” Jenn said. In unseen footage, Carmella revealed her son has an egg allergy, and Heather sent him donuts.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When Heather denied calling Carmella’s hair “trashy,” Emily exclaimed, “You told Shane she was trashy!”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Emily continued, “As soon as the camera goes down, you go right over to production, and you say, ‘She’s trashy. Get her off the show. She doesn’t belong,’” Emily said, referencing the Nobu dinner.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Carmella explained why Heather’s text hurt her more than the “trashy” remark. “I wouldn’t text that ‘I can’t wait to see you’ and then turn around and say things behind your back,” Carmella said. Thankfully, Heather apologized.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Then, Gina confronted Heather about using Carmella as a realtor. “I was upset when they were bringing a realtor into this, you know, arena or whatever, and I shared that with you. As my friend, I was surprised, and it hurt my feelings,” Gina said.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Fancy Pants continued, “But I totally get that, because it probably takes someone, I don’t know, secure and strong and successful to be my friend. And maybe that’s not you.” Yikes!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><a href="https://www.realitytea.com/tag/alan-cumming/">Alan Cumming</a></strong> has revealed which celebrity he would love to see join <strong><a href="https://www.realitytea.com/show/the-traitors/">The Traitors</a></strong>, and his choice is none other than comedian and actor <strong><a href="https://www.realitytea.com/tag/meg-stalter/">Meg Stalter</a></strong>. The show&#8217;s host recently expressed his admiration for Stalter. He described her as hilarious and bold while sharing his enthusiasm for potentially seeing her compete in the reality series. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The two are also part of Old Navy&#8217;s 2026 holiday campaign, titled “All Aboard the Jingle Jet,” alongside several other celebrities.</p>



<h2 id="h-alan-cumming-wants-meg-stalter-on-the-traitors" class="wp-block-heading">Alan Cumming wants Meg Stalter on The Traitors</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">During a conversation with <a href="https://www.instyle.com/alan-cumming-old-navy-holiday-campaign-traditions-traitors-interview-12238124" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">InStyle</a> in early November, Cumming revealed that Stalter would be his dream casting choice for The Traitors. Although the two appeared in the same Old Navy holiday campaign, they did not get to meet because their portions were filmed on separate days. Nevertheless, Cumming has been following her work and is clearly impressed by her personality and sense of humor.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“I&#8217;m fascinated by Meg,” Cumming told the publication. He also praised her performances in the holiday advertisements, adding, “I really admire her and she&#8217;s hilarious in these ads.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Moreover, the actor particularly appreciates Stalter&#8217;s willingness to embrace unconventional fashion choices. He recalled her appearance at the <a href="https://www.realitytea.com/2026/09/07/alan-cumming-emmy-win-traitors-host-proves-one-thing/">Emmys</a>, where she dressed up as an actual Emmy award. He said, “I love how bold she is, like at the Emmys when she came as an Emmy, that was genius!” </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cumming further admitted, “She&#8217;s the one I&#8217;m most fangirl-y about.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Meanwhile, Cumming also revealed that The Traitors alum <a href="https://www.realitytea.com/tag/kate-chastain/">Kate Chastain</a> would be his ideal holiday party guest. Then he also recalled their experience during the show&#8217;s first season. He described how they remained relatively relaxed while a storm caused chaos aboard a ship. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Everyone was vomiting, and cameras were falling everywhere, and because I was below deck with Kate from Below Deck, we were just having a drink and chatting,” he shared. “I loved her. She&#8217;s just great value.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As for the current season, viewers can expect plenty of drama, along with Cumming&#8217;s signature capes, sleeveless outfits, and impractical looks for the Scottish countryside. He also teased an exciting finale, saying, “I love the ending of this season. It&#8217;s absolutely epic. Just you wait.” Season 5 is scheduled to conclude on November 19.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><a href="https://www.realitytea.com/tag/gilmore-girls/">Gilmore Girls</a></strong> star <strong>Kelly Bishop</strong> is stepping into a new creative role with her upcoming fiction debut, <strong>Broad Appeal</strong>. Co-written with New York Times bestselling author <strong>Ali Rosen</strong>, the novel will be published by William Morrow in fall 2027. The story follows four women in their 70s who become unexpected roommates in Manhattan and discover that life can bring new beginnings at any age.</p>



<h2 id="h-kelly-bishop-s-debut-novel-broad-appeal-arrives-in-fall-2027" class="wp-block-heading">Kelly Bishop’s debut novel Broad Appeal arrives in fall 2027</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Announced Thursday, Broad Appeal will explore friendship, second chances, and the challenges of starting over later in life. The novel centers on Roz, a 78-year-old retired divorcée whose comfortable Upper West Side lifestyle is disrupted by rising housing costs. To keep her apartment, she takes in three roommates. (via <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/lifestyle/arts/gilmore-girls-star-kelly-bishop-first-novel-1236748606/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Hollywood Reporter</a>)</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The roommates are her eccentric entomologist sister-in-law, a former trophy wife recovering from financial troubles, and a spirited dance teacher.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Although their living arrangement begins as a practical solution, the four women gradually form an unexpected family. However, buried secrets, financial difficulties, and unresolved heartbreak threaten their newfound bond. William Morrow describes the book as a story combining the friendship and humor of The Golden Girls with the banter of Sex and the City.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Bishop expressed her excitement about the project, saying, “This story is about friendship, resilience, second chances and the surprising ways our lives can change when we least expect it.” She also added, “I&#8217;ve always believed that growing older doesn&#8217;t mean growing smaller. If anything, it means there are still stories worth telling and lives worth reinventing.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The publisher&#8217;s executives also praised Bishop&#8217;s storytelling. Senior VP and deputy publisher Jennifer Hart said the novel showcases her storytelling abilities in an entirely new way. Meanwhile, vice president and executive editor Liz Stein described it as “funny, wise and deeply moving.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Best known for playing Emily Gilmore in Gilmore Girls, Bishop has also appeared in Dirty Dancing and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. She won a Tony Award for originating the role of Sheila in A Chorus Line. Additionally, she released her New York Times bestselling memoir, The Third Gilmore Girl, in 2024.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.mandatory.com/tag/Abdul-El-Sayed"><strong>Abdul El-Sayed</strong></a> faced a pointed question during his appearance on <strong>The View</strong> after winning Michigan’s Senate race. Co-host Sara Haines challenged him over comments he made after the March attack on Temple Israel near Detroit. El-Sayed had condemned the attack but also said that “hurt people hurt people.” On the show, he explained why he made the remark and admitted that he should have responded differently.</p>



<h2 id="h-abdul-el-sayed-acknowledges-mistake-in-temple-israel-remarks" class="wp-block-heading">Abdul El-Sayed acknowledges mistake in Temple Israel remarks</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Haines raised the issue during the Nov. 5 episode of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/reel/2315097399313488" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The View</a>. In March, Ayman Mohamad Ghazali rammed his vehicle into Temple Israel in West Bloomfield Township and fired at a security guard. Four of Ghazali&#8217;s relatives were killed days earlier in an Israeli airstrike in Lebanon, reports said. El-Sayed condemned the incident but also said, “hurt people hurt people,” which later drew criticism.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Even after El-Sayed apologized, the comment stuck with many people, Haines said. She pointed out that it appeared to take him about five months to understand why his words upset voters and constituents. She then asked whether leaders have a duty to challenge extremist views within their own religions. Haines also explained that she feels responsible when people use her Christian faith to justify cruelty.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">El-Sayed thanked Haines for asking and agreed with her point. He said faith should “uplift all of us” rather than justify harmful actions. He explained that he condemned the attack immediately but also wanted to offer context about the attacker’s family losses. “When people are hurting, context is secondary,” he admitted, adding, “I should’ve stood with their pain, and I learned from that experience.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The senator-elect said he was “not above apologizing” when he makes a mistake. He also argued that people should look beyond a simple division between “good and evil” when discussing violence and its causes. He explained that he wanted people to understand the attacker’s family losses in Lebanon. El-Sayed said leaders must stand with people’s pain “with no exceptions and no asterisks.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Haines said she respected his response but remained surprised that he needed so much time to understand the impact of his remarks, especially given the presence of children at the synagogue. Joy Behar described his apology as “better late than never,” but El-Sayed replied, “It’s also better early than late.” He then stated that individuals should be held accountable for their actions, not a whole <a href="https://www.mandatory.com/news/1882579-donald-trump-iowa-rally-abdul-el-sayed-racist-comment">religion</a>. He pointed to Christian nationalists as an example, saying society often recognizes their individuality while treating people of other faiths as representatives of their communities.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><a href="https://www.realitytea.com/tag/Nicolas-Cage/">Nicolas Cage</a></strong> pushed back his homeless remark following the backlash. The actor explained what he meant when he was discussing the damage caused by a giant sinkhole near his Malibu home.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph" id="h-nicolas-cage-clarifies-his-homeless-remark-after-backlash">Nicolas Cage clarified his remark that he was left “homeless” after a giant sinkhole threatened his $10.5 million Malibu home. Cage told <a href="https://apnews.com/video/nicolas-cage-on-malibu-home-damage-were-not-destitute-7a9a182b5bf94aa8b77790d06399ddfa" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">AP News</a> that he was just “riffing” when making the comments. He said, “I went to Comic Con, and I was riffing with a very good interviewer, and he just had to ask, because it was Halloween night, ‘What are you doing for Halloween?’ Now, when I said that, I meant my house is not available for trick or treaters.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cage added that he would now be more careful with his words and explained that he and his family are doing fine after <a href="https://www.realitytea.com/2026/10/15/nicolas-cage-malibu-home-sinkhole/">the incident</a>. He said, “Now, I have to watch my words so much to the letter. We’re content. Fine. We’re not destitute. We’re okay. I was just meaning that the house is not available for decorations and for candy to hand out to the children, which I like to do because I like Halloween.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">During his appearance at LA Comic Con Saturday, the actor shared details about his <a href="https://www.realitytea.com/2026/09/08/nicolas-cage-malibu-home-massive-sinkhole/">Malibu property</a>. He said, “I’m currently a little bit homeless. Something happened to my house in Malibu. So I’m just sort of living in hotels, so I don’t have normal trick-or-treaters I would like to enjoy tonight.” (via <a href="https://pagesix.com/2026/11/05/celebrity-news/nicolas-cage-awkwardly-backtracks-claim-sinkhole-made-him-homeless-after-backlash/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Page Six</a>)</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">His Malibu property faced catastrophic damage after the property sank into the ground because of heavy rain and erosion. Five homes including Cage’s was red tagged in the area and evacuation was put in order. Cage requested an emergency building permit and was granted packed sandbags against the beach to prevent future erosion. His clarification provided context behind his previous remarks, emphasizing that his comments were to share the incident. <br></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.mandatory.com/tag/Nile-Rodgers"><strong>Nile Rodgers</strong></a> is standing by his decision to use artificial intelligence in a new music video. The Chic guitarist faced criticism after he shared a preview online. Several viewers questioned his choice to use AI for the project. Rodgers pushed back and explained how his team created the video.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Rodgers announced the project publicly on Nov. 2. The video will accompany his charity single “The Christmas Song,” featuring singer Rebecca Ferguson, and he hopes to release it by the end of November. As he prepared the video, he also shared footage of a crew creating what he called “an AI me.” “This AI capture was very thorough and I’m so excited about the finished project,” he wrote.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Rodgers later posted a preview, but many commenters focused on his use of AI. He responded to one critic by calling it “somewhat hypocritical” to oppose AI while using it for convenience. Rodgers pointed to his past work with Microsoft and Apple to explain his familiarity with technology. He also told the commenter, “I respect all opinions,” while defending his decision to use AI.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In another response, Rodgers stated that his creative team was in charge. He explained that they created the mood boards and storyboards before AI followed their instructions. “We painstakingly created every second you’ll see on the screen,” he wrote. He added that a traditional film version would have cost about $100,000.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Rodgers also asked critics to reflect on their use of AI in their daily lives. “Do you use Google, or get driving directions?” he asked. AI has faced wider criticism from people who fear it could take jobs from human creatives and limit artists’ control over copyrighted work. Others have raised concerns about the large amounts of energy and water that data centers need, adding to the debate over AI’s place in creative work.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Zac ended the message with a loving note to his daughter. “I love you,” he wrote in the caption. The birthday tribute came just hours after it was reported that Jen had filed for <a href="https://www.realitytea.com/2026/11/05/secret-lives-of-mormon-wives-jen-affleck-divorce-file-zac-pregnancy/">divorce</a> in Utah on Tuesday, Nov. 3, one day before Nora’s fifth birthday.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jen also submitted a proposed parenting plan with the filing, though the document’s details remain private. Zac and Jen share three children: Nora, son Luca, 3, and daughter Penny, 16 months. Jen is also pregnant with their <a href="https://www.realitytea.com/2026/06/19/jen-affleck-pregnancy-baby-no-4/">fourth child</a>, a pregnancy they announced in June.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The couple rose to fame in 2024 through Hulu’s The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Their relationship has also drawn attention over the years. In an April 2025 interview with Us Weekly, Jen described their marriage as a “night and day difference” at the time. She added, “If we can get through this, we can get through anything,” reflecting her outlook on their relationship at the time.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><a href="https://www.realitytea.com/tag/paris-jackson/">Paris Jackson</a></strong>&#8216;s $600 million inheritance dispute has taken another turn after a Los Angeles judge allowed <strong><a href="https://www.realitytea.com/tag/michael-jackson/">Michael Jackson</a></strong>&#8216;s longtime estate executor, John Branca, to keep certain financial records confidential. The November 4 ruling covers legal fees, litigation costs, and estate accounting information as <a href="https://www.realitytea.com/2026/10/29/paris-jackson-estate-boss-incompetence/">Branca faces allegations</a> over his management of the late singer&#8217;s fortune.</p>



<h2 id="h-a-judge-lets-michael-jackson-s-executor-keep-certain-financial-records-confidential" class="wp-block-heading">A judge lets Michael Jackson’s executor keep certain financial records confidential</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Judge Brenda J. Penny issued two orders granting Branca&#8217;s requests to seal portions of court filings containing sensitive financial details. According to documents obtained by <a href="https://pagesix.com/2026/11/05/celebrity-news/paris-jacksons-nasty-600m-battle-over-dad-michael-jacksons-fortune-takes-shocking-new-turn/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Page Six</a>, one order allows him to withhold “confidential, nonpublic information regarding the amount of Executor incurred attorney fees and costs.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The second ruling concerns the estate&#8217;s financial accounting and family allowance. The judge determined that making these details public could create a “substantial probability of prejudice” to the estate&#8217;s interests in ongoing litigation, negotiations, and business matters. Both requests were unopposed, and the orders do not establish that Paris opposed them or that the judge ruled directly against her.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The development comes days after Paris filed a petition on October 29. Her demand was that Branca <a href="https://www.realitytea.com/2026/11/03/paris-jackson-michael-jackson-dad-estate-trust-legal-battle/">transfer $600 million</a> into the family trust intended for her and her brothers, Prince, 29, and Bigi, 24. She accused the executor of withholding their inheritance and maintaining an “iron grip” over when and how much money they receive.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">28-year-old Paris also claimed the trust remains unfunded more than 17 years after her father&#8217;s death, despite the estate generating billions of dollars. Additionally, she alleged that Branca reduced payments to the siblings by millions after she questioned his management.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">However, the estate has denied these allegations, calling claims that Branca withheld or reduced payments “a complete fabrication.” Its spokesperson also stated that more than $200 million had already been distributed to or spent for the benefit of Michael&#8217;s children and other beneficiaries. The estate further cited unresolved legal matters as reasons for the delay in fully funding the family trust. It included an IRS dispute.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Meanwhile, Paris Jackson&#8217;s petition is scheduled for a December 3 hearing. Michael Jackson died in June 2009 at the age of 50.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><a href="https://www.realitytea.com/tag/John-Mulaney/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.realitytea.com/tag/John-Mulaney/">John Mulaney</a></strong> may soon take on the role of a secret agent in Warner Bros.&#8217; upcoming Get Smart reboot. The 44-year-old comedian is circling the role of Agent Maxwell Smart. The original series, created by Mel Brooks and Buck Henry, ran for 138 episodes between 1965 and 1970.</p>



<h2 id="h-john-mulaney-explains-why-playing-a-clueless-spy-suits-him" class="wp-block-heading">John Mulaney explains why playing a clueless spy suits him</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While attending the premiere of Madden on November 4, where he plays EA founder Trip Hawkins in the biographical film about football legend John Madden, Mulaney said, &#8220;It’s a world of espionage with a super, super confident, not always informed person. That’s my favorite type of person to play.&#8221; The actor further stated to <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/john-mulaney-teases-get-smart-reboot-1236748313/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/john-mulaney-teases-get-smart-reboot-1236748313/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Hollywood Reporter</a>, &#8220;I’ve gone very far in life sounding like I know what I’m talking about but having absolutely no idea what I’m saying. And I think that works perfectly for espionage.&#8221;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Seth Grahame-Smith, known for Now You See Me: Now You Don’t, is writing the reboot&#8217;s screenplay. Charles Roven and Andrew Lazar will serve as producers. The spy comedy series, in which Don Adams starred as Maxwell Smart, aired its first four seasons on NBC, while CBS aired its final season. The series earned seven Emmy Awards, with Adams taking home three acting honors and the show securing three wins for Outstanding Comedy Series.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Get Smart first made its way to the big screen in 2008, with Steve Carell stepping into the role of Maxwell Smart. The film also featured Anne Hathaway, Dwayne Johnson, Alan Arkin, and Terence Stamp. Directed by Peter Segal, known for 50 First Dates, the movie grossed $230 million worldwide against an estimated production budget of $80 million.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Mulaney has kept busy with several television and film projects. He most recently hosted Netflix&#8217;s anti-talk show, Everybody&#8217;s Live with John Mulaney. The comedian will next appear in Madden, an upcoming Amazon MGM Studios film. The movie will receive a limited theatrical release on November 11. It will then make its global debut on Prime Video on November 18.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.realitytea.com/tag/prince-harry/"><strong>Prince Harry</strong></a> reportedly visited a luxury New York City hotel known for its appearances in &#8220;Gossip Girl.&#8221; The Duke of Sussex made an unannounced trip to Manhattan for meetings focused on future business opportunities and partnerships.</p>



<h2 id="h-prince-harry-confirms-new-york-meetings-about-future-partnerships" class="wp-block-heading">Prince Harry confirms New York meetings about future partnerships</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" id="h-prince-harry-confirms-new-york-meetings-about-future-partnerships">According to <a href="https://people.com/prince-harry-spotted-nyc-hotel-unnounced-trip-exclusive-12238520" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">People</a>, Harry visited the Lotte New York Palace in Midtown Manhattan on Monday, November 2. A source spotted him speaking with someone in the hotel&#8217;s luxurious Gold Room in what appeared to be a business meeting.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.realitytea.com/2026/11/05/prince-harry-prince-william-king-charles-family-reunion-efforts/">Harry&#8217;s</a> spokesperson confirmed the visit, saying, “The Duke had a number of meetings in New York focused on new business opportunities and partnerships. Further details will be shared in due course.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">However, the representative did not disclose the nature of those potential partnerships.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Lotte New York Palace is familiar to &#8220;Gossip Girl&#8221; fans. The hotel served as the residence of Chuck Bass and the van der Woodsen family in the popular television series.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Its Gold Room is part of the historic Villard Mansion, which dates back to the 1880s. The space features high ceilings, gilded walls and a balcony originally designed for musicians.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Harry&#8217;s spokesperson offered few details about his meetings. However, the visit follows his recent discussions about developing commercial projects.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">During an earlier visit to Washington, D.C., Harry met veterans, military spouses and defense officials. He also mentioned a potential “commercial” initiative that would “really value those who served rather than expect them to volunteer.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It remains unclear whether his New York meetings concerned that project.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Following his brief visit, Harry returned to London. On November 4, he delivered a keynote speech at the Wanderlust Reader Travel Awards in the Painted Hall at the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Meanwhile, <a href="https://www.realitytea.com/2026/11/05/prince-harry-meghan-markle-commonwealth-rumors-fan-reactions/">Harry and Meghan Markle</a> are preparing for their first joint overseas trip since returning to the UK.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The couple will visit Brussels on November 10 to attend the opening of the Lost Screen Memorial at the European Parliament. They will also deliver a joint address about children&#8217;s online safety.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph" id="h-prince-harry-confirms-new-york-meetings-about-future-partnerships">Harry&#8217;s New York visit highlights his continued interest in exploring new opportunities beyond his royal responsibilities.<br></p>
