Adrienne Maloof

Charging at an Inferno

Adrienne knew when to "use her legs" this week, since she "nose" when to retreat.

Dec 16, 2010

So this episode started off as a bust.

Just kidding. I'm referring of course to Paul's broken nose, courtesy of my apparently fierce four-year-old, Collin. The story is that Paul was wrestling with the boys, and Collin's foot made unfortunate contact with Paul's, well, face. Paul, being a plastic surgeon, was able to call in a favor from his colleague to have his nose repaired right away. I promise you, I was really trying not to laugh. I get that a broken nose is a serious thing. But watching my grown husband try and rationalize to me that my preschool son had done this deliberately was too much.

Speaking of too much, I still laughed watching Paul dramatizing his breathing struggles. What in the world was he doing there? It seemed like he was in a Lamaze class or something. He won't admit it, but Paul really did try and milk it for all it was worth. What is it with grown men and pouting when they are sick or injured?

So onto The Dinner: Yes, I'm capitalizing it, because it seems to deserve it, right?

I think that Camille really did intend to host a dinner where some hatchets could be buried, so to speak. Unfortunately, it ended up that some of the women felt that those hatchets were buried in their backs. The evening started off nicely, and it was a really lovely setting. I have to say that as soon as I took a sip of one of those drinks, I did worry a little about where the night might go. Two sips in, and I knew I had to be careful with them. I’m not much of a drinker to begin with and those things were strong!

Adrienne, You are a tough lady who maintains her class at all time. Love it!

You're the only person with complete class out of all the ladies. I admire you but please be more feminine towards and loving to Paul. If you don't want him, there are plenty women who would gladly take him from you!

You were my favorite but to ditch KIM.really nice all about family!not you

I agree Adrienne! That's why I like you the most because you are a strong women, yet you are wise and that is definitely something to aspire toward as a person. And down to earth too, which is hard to find these days! lol It seems like many of the girls like and lean on you for that reason. =)

In any case, I do agree that Camille set up the dinner party her way by inviting her "wanna be" girlfriends. If she really wanted to resolve past issues with Kyle, she very easily could have not invited her friends and asked Kyle not to bring hers too. Then at least the grounds would have been fair.

You rock! Your blog is hilarious and your relationship with Paul is seems so real. I love how you guys have so much fun with each other and you can laugh with him and his antics. You are an amazing woman and I wish I could be 1/100th like you down to your genuine kindness, friendliness, classiness, and intelligent beyond belief. Please stay true to who you are. Love watching you!!!!

wow, can you say nut job, Allison the Qwack. You on the other hand and Paul are hillarious and very real, you keep the show light and fun.

I love love love you and Paul....i just laugh my *ss off....and I love your blog about him... Bravo- please show more of this family. Adrienne is a REAL housewife...and mom...come on...did you see the way she was making the PB and J ?....she took the time to make sure the spread was juuuust right around the edges .....good moms are so cool....we need more moms like Adrienne!!!! Happy Holiday!!

I think it is admirable that you did not partake in this immature behavior tonight. Well done.

I would truly love to read what you think about Camille now after seeing this episode air and the comments she made about Mauricio, since Camille has always claimed that you are her closest friend of all the ladies.

I think that you are an amazing woman! I am proud to say that I have a wonderful and supportive group of ladies that behave as you do!

Adrienne, I really like you. You are strong and a no nonsense kind of girl. How creepy was that psychic next to you?

Adrienne, Paul is hilarious! He is so dramatic! Hope his nose is feeling better :o) You are a class act and were at the dinner that night. I hope to visit your Casino when i go to Las Vegas for the first time this February. Happy Holidays!

Adrienne, you are a class act. I thought the dinner was appalling, and I agree with you, Camille should have had enough sence to control her house guest. Camille thinks she is better then everyone, and is a very miserable person, who I feel intentially likes conflict. Stay away!!! You and Lisa Vanderpump arein a different class then the rest of the housewives.

Kyle is a good friend and I'm disappointed you dont stand up for her. If anyone could stand up to Camille, it's you.

Adrienne, watching you tonight reinforced what i believe about you: You are a classy woman in and out. And you are by far and beyond my fave housewife of all. I know you love Kyle, but she needs to take some Graciousness classes from you. YOu rock!

You are one HW I have not been disappointed in. You rise above the drama every time. A class act!

You are a class act. You stay above the stupid stuff. Good for you! Clearly you love your husband and children, and they love you back. Keep up the good work! I love watching your reactions.

Why did you get in the limo with Kyle and the other ladies? Your body language and conversation and willingness to grab drinks afterward made it seem as though you agreed with Kyle's behavior. If anything, I would have thought you would have ridden with Kim or declined to grab drinks. I was disappointed that you seemed to have found any side worth supporting.

LOVE your humility and class! My favorite housewife of all time!

I agree, I think Camille should of handled the situation differently and redirect the conversation elsewhere. I think Camille was looking for a confrontation, she would of never invited Allison, knowing how head strong she is!!!

Btw, My husband and i are huge fans, and i have to say, we are just like you and Paul. :)

I admire your calm, focused personality! I wish you would say something to Kyle about the way she treats her sister, Kim though. I have cringed at every episode about her treatment!

Adrienne.. you and Lisa bring class to the show. Its good to see such a positive role model. You have an amazing work ethic, your a strong woman, have a loving family, and carry yourself w/ class (as does Lisa). It's easy to see how your an inspiration.. God bless

I love your style. You and Paul are great! You are a class act. Love Love Love You Girl.

Utterly crazy! I have to say Adrienne both you and Lisa keep calm, cool and collected in the middle of this barrage of insanity. I know Camille is going through a difficult time now, but that does not excuse her repeated bad behavior. I believe the dinner party was meant to hurt Kyle and Camille's goofy friend was bent on making it happen. Camille began the mudslinging at Kyle's friend Faye. I think Camille should be embarrassed and ashamed of her actions. If she thinks she comes off looking good with her snobby bragging and I'm better than everyone attitude she is sadly mistaken. She never should have been on the show and people wouldn't know what a pathetic type person she could be. Kyle I think is wonderful most of the time. She is a bit mean to her sister though. I have a sister so I sort of get that. She can be mean to her but she won't let anyone else be mean to her. Odd but I think that is a sister thing. Anyway, I never write on these things but I can't believe how far Camille has taken this. Her friend Allison is a nut case and it's sad because I liked that show Medium. Now I don't know how I could even watch it and enjoy it again. It would remind me of that crazy lady. -DW

Yep! You and Lisa - CLASS all the way! Money doesn't buy you class...you already have it! And that's the best kind of class to have! I love that you are so level-headed and just plain SMART and CLASSY! -Kim San Diego, CA

You did an amazing job of not adding to the craziness! And yes, I was thinking the SAME thing... why was the hostess, Camille, making remarks to Faye and not asking the guest (Allison) to keep quiet?? That was beyond weird. And to see Camille, DD, and Allison laugh over the cruel distasteful remarks said by Allison really showed their true colors. Very mean people, in my opinion.

I love you, but you know what Camille and that witch did to Kyle was wrong! Stand up for Kyle! The women obviously look to you for support and advice

You are a respectable lady, Adrienne. I commend you and Lisa for staying out of the fray. I don't see how any of the others thought they could benefit by behaving that way. Your "two legs" served you well... no need to subject yourself to such ignorance.

Thank goodness someone is level-headed! You & Lisa are great!

I'm sorry, I know that everyone is going to want to talk about the "dinner" on this...but Adrienne......YOUR HUSBAND WITH HIS NOSE ANTICS...MAAM, I was almost CRYING LAUGHING!! HHHHAAAAAAAAAA!!! HY-STERICAL!!!! I really needed that laugh with all this craziness going on !!!!! SOOO FUNNY! LOVE YOU TWO!!! :)

I love watching the play between you and your husband Paul. It's nice to know I'm not the only one who doesn't baby my husband when he's not feeling great. Watching you guys reminds me of the way that we relate as a couple. It's wonderful to see such as strong, well bred lady on this show who keeps herself very classy and very down to earth even in the middle of mudslinging dinner.

I truly think that all of you all are giving camille way too big of a free pass.

I absolutely admire you. You are a tough cookie. Money is what you have, but brilliance, wisdom and grace are what you embody/are. I do worry, though, that reality TVs tend to keep the drama queens longer. I hope Bravo recognizes that there is a grown up crowd who watch RHWOBH as well. More power to you! As for Paul and his allegedly broken nose, no comment! Please tell the kids to break some more parts with love :-)

Adrienne, you are definitely the classiest, most mature lady on the show! Keep it up!! Don't let the cattiness of the other ladies get to you!!

Adrienne, Camille could really learn a few things about how to handle her " status" from you. I have never seen you throw you name, weight or wealth around for that I respect you.

Adrienne,

You are such a wonderful, sweet down to earth person. Never change your ways. I just love you on the show!!!!

Good job in not getting involved in that situation, how did you end up on the show.

Adrienne's face during this episode was expressing her views in this blog. I'd be so freaked out to even sit by that "serial killer profiler". The scene where she put her hand on Adrienne, and Adrienne pulled back, ewe! I support the views of Adrienne above all the other housewives. She's the most real, and worldly. Bless Amanda Tackwell, San Jose, CA

I am so glad that you are equipped with so much common sense! Thanks for keeping it classy!

You are such a classy woman. I enjoy watching you on the show and love how you stay so real. You are a housewife that inspirational, unlike some of those other " ladies" on the show!

You're fantatsic - how you deal with Camille in such a calm manner is a testiment to who you are as a person. (And, I too, would have laughed if my husband did that panting thing Paul did - HYSTERICAL!)

LOVE U SO MUCH, Such strength, class, , dignity, and sooo beautiful!!

Adrienne, I really think you are a smart and classy lady with a lot of moxie! It is very apparent on every episode of the show. Great comedic timing too- I was cracking up when you broke up an uncomfortable moment with the crazy medium chic with a "well let's toast to that" at Camille's dinner party. The look on your face while Paul was showing you that he couldn't breathe was priceless too!!!

Smart lady, cool head, so enjoy your presence on the show.

You are the most elegant and classy of all the housewives on any show! I watched you tonight and was so impressed by how you kept yourself out of the %^&storm that was kicking up around you. I'm so glad you didn't lower yourself. I was a huge fan of Kyle's and yours until this episode, but then was surprised by how Kyle threw her sister under the bus. So I can officially say that you now stand alone as my favorite - keep it up! You are an example to women everywhere on how to be a lady and rise above.
