Mean Girls: Part 2

Brandi discusses why she wasn't afraid to take on the Richards sisters, even on one foot.

Mean Girls: Part 2!

It's official I'm traumatized! As I hobbled into game night, I had no idea that it was going to be one of the longest, most uncomfortable nights of my life. After Dana immediately let me know what designer she was wearing, I found myself one of the first to arrive along with Kyle. Given our last encounter, it's fair to say I was pretty uncomfortable. It didn't take long before the eye rolls, dirty looks, and awkward silences began. Kyle's feelings towards me were very clear and for reasons I did not know. Slowly but surely the other girls started to arrive (Thanks G-d!). I had still not met Kim at this point (neither had Dana) and as we waited for the last to ladies to arrive, Dana got the call saying Adrienne couldn't make it. My immediate reaction? Nooo! Adrienne is not only my ally, but she's also level headed and can usually take control of a situation if/when it gets out of hand.

As we waited the two-plus hours for Kim to arrive, we were sitting around having some wine (but note, there was very little food) and making uncomfortable small talk. When Kim finally arrived, the ladies all made a b-line to her and started fussing over her: fixing her hair, makeup, clothes, etc. This was my first time meeting Kim and she seemed friendly enough. She commented on my shorts (which I thought were super cute, albeit not Valentino). Once she arrived, Kim spent about 15 minutes in the bathroom and at one point Kyle joined her. By this point we'd all waited a long, long time for Kim and when she finally joined us, she was a hot mess. Even Kyle was suspicious of Kim's behavior and even took a drink of Kim's drink to make sure it was just coffee!

Game time! OK, sue me. I didn't know who Winston Churchill was (Yes, yes: England's great wartime leader. Check.). After Dana picked the teams (how coincidental: I was on a team with Kim and Kyle. Hmmm.), my teammates made it clear they were not happy with this arrangement and that they didn't like me at all. I felt totally left out and my feelings were hurt, so I told them as much. It was very childish of them to purposely go out of their way to hurt me. During our games, Kim disappeared into the bathroom on multiple occasions for long periods of time. One time, she took so long that Kyle went looking for her and was worried about what she was drinking. She even checked in with the bartender.

I thought your blog was on point. Only problem is your answering machine message is as obnoxious as the way Kim and Kyle treated you. Other than that though, you seem like a pretty stand-up woman to me.

Brandi you poor thing having to deal with those women. You handled it well.

You didn't deserve that mean game night. Don't worry though- the viewers see it all

Keep doing what you do, you're awesome. I fast-forward my DVR whenever the two Richards are on screen...

Brandi - they were horrible! And since neither Kim nor Kyle have bothered to get to know you, it makes me wonder why they are so intent on making you feel horrible. If I met someone in your circumstance, I think I would treat you more kindly just because of your leg & recent divorce - not turned up the super mean! Glad you stood up - who cares what a bunch of women think - they will get that back one day - guaranteed, karma always catches up with people!

Brandi, I felt so bad for you tonight...they were so mean..you handle yourself well under the circumstances...you r gorgeous and sweet and mosh importantly Real,

I'm your biggest fan!!! Stay amazing!

Brandi, run on one foot and get out of this show. It's destructive and no longer fun to watch. This was my last night. Best of Luck to you.

Gosh I felt bad for you tonight. Those 2 are so mean it is unreal.

I thought you were awesome tonight! Kyle and Kim were being completely catty and rude to you. I love that you stood up for yourself! Bravo!

Hang in there, Brandi! I hope you find another group of women friends because these women, except for Adrianne, are not worth it.

First off, you could not be more right about Dana. I was starting to like her. I really thought from the previews you were going to be in the wrong tonight but, girl, I give you credit- I probably would have smacked someone.

Your blog says it all...Well said regarding Dana. Kyle was rude right from the start. Regarding Kim, this woman needs help. Next time make an early exit...

I am so glad you are on this show now. Finally a real person who tells it like it is and can back it up. Kim's probably lucky she hid your crutches otherwise she might of gotten one up side the head. Oh and thank you for pointing out what all of us at home were screaming at the t.v. as everyone else ignored all of the bathroom trips and slurred speech!

I understand that you were alone and therefore it does become tough to feel comfortable, especially when surrounded by women who hate you. However, it is not fair to make accusations and basically look for something to embarrass Kim with. Gossiping with Camille while the others away sort of made you look like the villain. Not cool. They may have jumped to the defense, but attacking them to begin with made you look VERY unclassy. Don't criticize them for attacking and do it yourself. Doesn't look good. Also, you admitted or implied you were a slut multiple times..you really do come off as one from the viewer's perspective. So far unimpressed by you and pretty disappointed you are part of the show.

I really liked you on this episode, you really held your own... while i don't dislike Kyle or Kim, i was definitely #teambrandi tonight. The one i can't stand is Dana... but w/e.

Anyway, stay strong, and i'm glad you know how to hold your own... it's stupid that we leave highschool just to encounter people who seem like they never left :/

Hang in there Brandi! I hope you find a new group of women friends because these women, except for Adrianne, are not worth it.

Brandi, I felt so sorry for you on this episode. Those other housewives are just so jeolous of you because of your beauty and class.

Brandi, I'm sorry I've spent the last couple weeks trying my best not to like you, but despite my best efforts I'm actually starting to REALLY like you. You let us see where you are coming from with Adrienne tonight, and your vulnerability and the real you is coming through. I couldn't believe Kyle didn't try to help you down the steps when you were on crutches. So hang in there, I wanted to dislike you but I couldn't.

I can't believe those WOMEN behaved that way towards you. And that Dana? You're absolutely right about her. I'm glad you stood up for yourself. One foot and all!

And BTW, your shorts were super cute!

Brandi, you handled yourself like a lady. I like you and you are right on the money about what is going on around you. I'm in your corner and hope you stick around and put these women in their places! And by the way you are by far the most beautiful..and therein lies the problem....Good Luck!

Brandi, you may not have known who Winston Churchill was, but you sure acted like him: Strong, brave and you didn't give in. I felt so badly for you. They were bullies. There is no excuse for their behavior and Dana as the "hostess" was beyond shameful in taking sides. Social climber, insecure, yes indeed... but also jealous. You are gorgeous and they are, well, not. I think you should be proud of yourself and I can tell you that everyone watching was on YOUR side.

im so happy you stuck up for yourself. stay strong !!!!!! that was hard for me to watch.....i cannot beleive they did that to you. but anyways. dont waste your time on things that are unnessary (: LOVE YOU !!!!!!!!

Good for you holding your own...they were all being bullies.

I agree Dana turned and became a mean girl!

Sad to see how mean Kyle, Kim, and Dana behaved towards you. It is so disappointing to see the other women sit in fear of being attacked and never stick up for you. Its obvious Kyle, Kim, and Dana are very very insecure. Thanks for sharing.

You handled yourself well. Those girls have no class, including Dana, excluding Camille. They acted like high school kids! Keep your head up!

You're fantastic. Really. Now stop calling calling yourself names.

Well said Brandi. I don't know how you tolerated sitting there as long as you did

This viewer is on your side. What a bunch of bullies! They have to be jealous of you.

Good for you!! I have been in that situation many times and it is HORRIBLE! It takes GUTS to stand up to that crap and you did it!!! I think I would have just left, especially when Dana bailed on you too. Those women are evil. I would not want to be a part of that group. They will always want to bash you. Beware.

Brandi.. You Rock! good for you to stand your ground. You verbalized.. what everyone was thinking.. Kyle and Kim were disgusting.. as well as PAM! Keep your head up and continue to stand your ground..

Brandi I have a new found respect for you. You kept your cool with the mean girls (kyle, kim, and their tool dana) and did not stoop to their level. They are just jealous of you b/c you look so much better than them. Hope they don't gang up on you again.stay strong!

Really proud of the way you handled yourself tonight! I would have left crying!!!

Brandi- Stay strong! I have not seen girls act like this since my 5th grade pool party. My heart went out to you. Know that you have a lot of supporters!

Tonight was a sad and disgusting display of bullying I've seen. It's sad that you were the target of these women who are so insecure, especially when there is no reason for it. You're all smart, beautiful and sucessful women. Good for you for standing up for yourself (even on one shoe) lol. You're quickly becoming one of my faves!

I hope that things calm down soon on RHOBH. I'd like to tune in without it turning into a scene from RHONJ or Atlanta. Yuck.

BTW, you rocked those shorts!!! I'd wear those too if I had a body like yours. lol.

Good luck!

You're fantastic. Really! Now stop calling yourself names.

You were so right and they were so wrong. The End. So glad a room full of mean girls didn't stop you from speaking up!

You, Adrienne, Lisa and Camille are the ones who should be on HWBH. Kyle and Kim are the most immature! Their behavior tonight was unforgivable. Stay strong and don't take their crap! You seem like a nice person. Wasn't it Kyle that got so upset about the "c" word at the bbq? I had rather hear the "c" word that all the "f" words that were flying out of her mouth! BRAVO - PLEASE POST - Thank you

You are totally right. Love your attitude, and I know you are wealthy, but I feel like I could talk to you even though I am a teacher in Michigan. Best of luck as you deal with them.

You really held your own tonight. Good for you girl! Kim and Kyle were horribly rude, and your "hostess" was downright pathetic. Keep your head up. To me you seem real and legit.

Brandi, I do not even know how I would have reacted to the way Kim, Kyle, and whatever her name is treated you. You remained calm through most of their "mean girls" display which I give you the utmost credit for. Kyle was my favorite last year but this year the tides have changed. I never thought that she would have turned so catty. Keep your head up, true colors are definitely shining through :)

Don't feel bad about the Winston Churchill thing. I immediately got your reference. I'm sorry those ladies can't think on their trivia toes. Dana guessed the wrong shoes when Camille said "our favorite shoes with the red bottom". I am pretty sure Louboutin would disagree with her response. They aren't as savvy as they think. Yes your comments might occasionally be a little abrasive, but at least you have good intentions. They just seem to have cruel intentions.

I know how uncomfortable a night like that can be...but I think it was clear you had enough. Those girls were over the top mean. They clearly felt in titled as a group to attack you. I had to keep asking myself are these grown women. I felt so sorry for you and the hostess "Pam" was the worst....insecure to the hilt! Shine on... I think you are a great addition to the cast because you seem real and you seem to say what everyone is thinking.

I love seeing you stand up to Kyle . You were right on about Kim....she does have a problem (it may not be drugs, alcohol, but there are issues there). Camille and Taylor are both too chicken and are cowards, but Kyle is a bully. Don't let her bully you.

I like you on BH Housewives...you make it juicier and you continue to be the person you are. I think you, Lisa, Adrian and Camille are the only honest ones. I like you a lot! Stay the same and don't back down and let them bully you!

No matter what happened, to accuse someone of doing something illegal like drugs was way off base. Kim is a fragile soul. Kyle wasn't on her best behavior but your behavior at the BBQ wasn't your best moment either which was before game night. You had already set the stage. A simple.....sorry, I started off on the wrong foot.....might have helped. But it seems you look for trouble......some need or excuse to go on the attack. Maybe I'm wrong but it's the way you look at this point.

By the way, Dana was having fun.....she didn't go after you.....you clearly owe her an apology, or, are you in a 'mean girl club'....different branch?

I expected to not like you, but I have to agree with everything you've said. You just seem very direct and candid. I never understood the big to-do about the cockadoodle doo word, or boys peeing in bushes. Kim and Kyle's behavior was horrendously ill mannered. Kim is a downright lunatic. Her behavior was off the charts, and I wish I meant in a fun way. She was also just cruel. Dana is a horrific phoney of a brownnoser. She should have reigned in the incredible alienation and lack of manners from the get-go. This was not entertainment; it was painful to watch. There is an interesting book out there about how women hurt women most. This showcased it. Sorry, Brandi.

Brandi,

I felt so sorry for you tonight...You showed up looking to meet some new ladies, and have a fun game night. Horrible to watch it unfold. I guess they are looking for a new punching bag this season. I am glad you stood up for yourself, and didn't take their abuse...I hope your foot gets better soon!

Watched todays show, you call it like it is. No B.S. Keep it real.
