So greetings once again to you all as you join is for the second half of our French trip. We reconvene in the heart of the most exquisite city in the world.
I had suggested that maybe it would be fun and a unique experience to take a cooking class with the girls. Oh how wrong could I be? It wasn’t exactly the gastronomic pleasure I had envisaged. . .
We had arranged to meet at about 6:30 pm, outside of the hotel. I had spent the morning with Kim, separated before lunch and then spent the afternoon with Yolanda at the Notre Dame. We were all acutely aware that there was a significant change in Kim’s behavior, but couldn’t quite understand what exactly was responsible for the shift. I knew she wasn’t drinking, for sure, and I support her a 1000 percent in her struggle with sobriety. But she seemed sleepy, lethargic, rambling, and almost incoherent at times. We waited for her for a substantial amount of time,which in the past had been a bit of a ritual and finally she joined us.
She still seemed not herself so I asked her in my naïveté, as there is such a difficult time change of nine hours, if she had taken a sleeping pill. I am ignorant of the fact, and have since been educated, that if you struggle with one sort of addiction, it is almost as if you slipped if you indulge in some sort of sleep aid. I didn’t realize the two were synonymous.
Kim was over emotional and volatile, vehemently denying that she had been in her bedroom all day. As I said previously we had left her just before lunch and she didn’t reappear until that evening. . .She was not accurately recalling the events of that afternoon.
As we watch this story unfold, all will be explained. I empathize with her situation, and love and support her.
It was difficult to watch Yolanda stating that because I hadn’t phoned her that I didn’t care about her. We have all been on this adventure tethered together by circumstance for three years and that cannot be erased.
I explained it to Mauricio when he arrived because there had been such a radical change in the dynamic between us. Kim was emotional and it was difficult to fathom. There seemed a tension and what should have been a wonderful experience was rapidly deteriorating.
Paris is one of the most romantic cities I have ever experienced. The incredible architecture, coupled with the little streets, creates a wonderful ambience. Maybe that would encourage one to be idealistic and strive for perfection in our relationships.
Kyle and I still have fun together. You the viewer has seen that. But she repeatedly brings up the question mark over ours. Absolutely the friendship changed, and I have endeavored to explain it to her as best I can. Actions have consequences, and she has difficulty computing that. The ripple effect of the hurt that is caused will manifest a change in any relationship. The trust isn’t there, but I continue to challenge her, intimating that going forward, if she was ever in my corner when under pressure (which sounds ridiculous but occurs frequently in this group of women). I would appreciate it and maybe it would be a step in the right direction towards rebuilding our friendship — back to what it used to be anyway lets not hold our breath.
So I will leave you now until next week. I adore reading your comments and as always. . .
Love Lisa.
X x
Kyle is definitely responsible for fracturing the friendship since the first tea party where not only did she not defend Lisa but joined in and told her something to the effect that ‘Lisa is somewhat full of herself’ followed by the reunion and her comment about their friendship being likened to a chess game.
I can only hope that kyle is as jealous of Lisa being on dwts as I think she is
Yes cherry I can only hope too. LOL!
The drama is all fake, I am amazed that anyone cares about this dull, tired, worn out, entirely predictable fake ‘reality’ show.
Oh just let us have our fun for a little bit, other than indulging in our guilty pleasures, I’m sure none of us take any of it seriously
Lisa quite accurately called Kim out for her crazy behavior. We hear Kyle talking way too much and why is that? Can’t believe this group carried with them to Paris the same old baggage of silly arguments and hurt feelings. Really,Kyle? Worst Paris trip ever.
I think old Kim protests to much. lol
Bravo takes these HW hags around the world to different places to repeat the same arguments that never end.Lisa should have left Giggy home with her other 2 or 3 dogs.Ken taking Giggy to the dinner table and letting him drink out of nice glassware was a bit too much.Giggy must be a paid cast member too.Kim is there to make all the others look good.
Lol…maybe Giggy IS a paid cast member…and why not he earns it! Can’t be easy carried around and always camera ready…what a hoot.
It seems to me every social circle has someone to make everyone else look good. In NYC social scene they have skanky dori cooperman for that, the convicted felon drug addict with multiple arrests who Looks like Heidi fleiss.
I’m slow girlfriend…who are you referencing?
Missing it’s likely you wouldn’t know her, if you google the pig you’ll see, her more global claim to fame was when she was hangin w Lindsay lohan and Tara Reid in rehab @promises. She hangs in NYC with social ppl, rich kids , and wannabes and other drug addicts and criminals, her latest addition is a former Russian hooker and her disbarred douche husband. Classy. Warning looking at a foto could cause Trauma, and for the love of god don’t look at a foto of her in a bathing suit or mini skirt, her legs are scary.
Sadly, I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s why a lot of ppl keep sahnja around….ya know the cheap good time girl.
Looking forward to seeing you on DWTS. Will Ken help you practice?
I think class shows through..and it does for Lisa. How she ever felt a connection with Vyle is beyond me. I don’t see anything in common there at all… shared sense of humor at one time perhaps?
I’m with Lisa on this blown out of proportion Kim event. Kim doesn’t need to be on a show and fighting for her sobriety simultaneoulsy. Surprised that her medical/therapy team would okay this.
I’ve been hurt in adult friendships too…and truly once the trust/confidence is gone it’s hard to go back.
I don’t understand what kind of medicine she was taking that made her so high?
Sick of having to watch the addictions of Kim. She is constantly on something and is no longer interesting. Like Lisa I would not have known that taking a sleeping pill would be like relapsing from alcohol, so makes me despise Kim even more. Everybody is supposed to read all the manuals on drugs and alcohol so as to not upset Kim. Kyle is a snake and will stab Lisa in the back the first chance she gets. Anybody that thinks you are manipulative and holds a grudge is NOT a friend and she says she has to be honest so–leave Lisa alone if that is how you feel about her. OH, wait you don’t have Addie and Camille to attack her with anymore so maybe you should suck up.
I think Kyle holds a grudge that she can’t manipulate Lisa- PROJECTION, Kyle is thy name.
I absolutely agree with you. The very thing Vyle accused Lisa of doing, is the exact thing SHE does – all the time. btw: I can’t stand the sound of her donkey bray cackle.
The time Lisa spent with a rambling Kim until she saw her in the evening doesn’t mean that Lisa was aware of Kim’s activities. She’s not a mind reader (especially since Kim has no mind). Lisa’s comment was innocent enough. As per usual, Kim took great offense and blew it out of proportion. That alone should prove how off the beam Kim is and how she needs to get off the show. She simply can’t handle simple tasks – like walking and talking at the same time.
Kyle and Morris don’t deserve a friendship with Lisa and Ken. They are trash, fake, sleaze personified in their true close friends (Faye, Taylor, etc.) and not on the same level of class as the Vanderpumps….actually, no class. I really wish Bravo would fire both Richard sisters – their only storyline is agonizing to watch and not what most viewers want to see. Kim and Kyle need therapy for Kim’s instabity and Kyle’s ignorance of addiction. They are not entertainment. And I hate to hear Kyle’s vulgar, loud, laugh – ewwww.
ITA and LOL at Morris. I had to think about it for a moment. I”m kinda slow this week.
Oh and google high heels – Morris wasn’t accurate on that little fact either. He is so full of himself…..he just had to try on a pair of gym trunks that look like a million pair in the states – but he thinks he is so hot – get over yourself Morris – you are not all that and please go blow your nose.
Lol Pinky! I wish I didn’t care about Momo, but I hate his guts!!!!
I’m so sick of all this crap with Kim, if Lisa didn’t know about the sleeping aid situation someone could have told her but no just let it fester. Why they are allowing a lunatic go to Paris is anyone’s guess. Grow the hell up Kim but then you are a grown woman. Face it you and your sister, you need major help. Lisa did the best she could and I don’t fault her at all. I am sure there are a few jealous housewive out there because Lisa made it. Kyle has to be seeing red. Good luck Lisa, one thing I do want to say is, your hair, extentions need to be trimmed. You hair is now too wild. Hopefully you will make it to the end of DWTS.
What is Lisa looking at in the WP picture? She looks very sad, the face of a martyr!
Lisa has had a fulfilling life and has worn many hats. However, Vyle and Dim-Kim believe she is also a clairvoyant or a therapist. They expect her to know exactly how to treat Dim-Kim at all times. They also expect the viewers to accept whatever crapola spews from their lying lips. Ridiculous on all counts.
