Brandi is glad she stayed out of the fray of Lisa's tea party, but she understands now where the animosity came from.

This episode finally addressed all the gossip, chatter, and reality regarding Taylor and her marriage. I must admit, it seemed a bit passive aggressive of Taylor not to invite Lisa to her event -- especially knowing that not only would she find out about event, but also because Taylor was planning to attend Lisa's tea party the next day.
Lisa isn't a wallflower and Taylor must have considered that she would say something, right? Taylor seem prepared for the showdown, didn't she? Honestly, I'm glad I wasn't involved at all. The talk with Taylor was a long time coming. Beverly Hills is a small town. While Taylor never said anything to me personally about her marriage, there had been a lot of gossip and talk. Having said that, I knew Russell only briefly. He was always kind and sweet to me, so I will not speak ill of someone who cannot defend himself.
On a lighter note -- As far as Lisa's ego goes, I don't know her well enough to judge, but if having pictures of yourself around is egotistical then none of these women are ever invited to my house!
Watching this episode, explains a lot of what was confusing to me in the following weeks. I didn't understand why all the animosity existed until now.
The moral of the story is that if you or anyone you know is a victim of domestic abuse, please reach out to a health care professional immediately.
Until next time. . .
