Kyle Damns Me If I Do, Damns Me If I Don't

Lisa doesn't know why her defense of Kyle's marriage isn't enough or why Brandi shared her makeout with the world.

Here we are again. I hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving. . .

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills on Bravo Tuesdays at 8/7c and next day on Peacock. Catch up on the Bravo App.

Absolutely adored the segment in Hollywood this week. The joyous moment of witnessing David being recognized for his talent and commitment to the music industry. I was thrilled to be included and felt a sense of pride just witnessing it.

We then settle into a scene with Kyle talking to Mauricio about the tabloid stories that seem to dominate each week. But I suppose this is our reality. That's what we signed up for. It was front and center of a major magazine and to think that in the midst of the show, when a story reared it's ugly head that it wouldn't be discussed is ridiculous. In fact in the kitchen it was Kyle who initiated the tabloid conversation about her supposed pregnancy, which you keep seeing. I remember before I joked with Kyle I said. . ."Ugh its all ridiculous nonsense." Now she felt the need to discuss my lack of support?

After seeing their subsequent conversation I am glad I am alleviated from the responsibility of having to defend them. . .Fake support who says that?

Who does know what transpires in somebody's marriage? However I am adamant that what is printed in the tabloids is not to be relied on. Much has little merit. I have the sentiment that if Kyle doesn't believe it and he denies it, then that's good enough for me. Who cares what a tabloid says?

When a magazine printed rumors about our marriage quoting Cedric, there was not a word in our defense. I didn't look for it and I didn't expect it -- because I gave it the credence it deserved -- nothing.

Can we as women state unequivocally that our husbands are faithful? Of course not! It would be foolish to. That is why I said to Ken I wouldn't even know for certain if he was playing around. I have never been given reason to think so, but I am not with him all hours of every day.

This was an honest conversation between husband and wife who have been married for 31 glorious years, and I defy any woman to be 1000 percent certain, but one thing I know for sure is that tabloids are for the most part inaccurate.

I find it odd that Kyle keeps singling me out? I was the only one who attempted to discredit it. Not one person including her sister, who was quiet at Carlton's lunch, supported her. But the very first time I was on the carpet and the first time since it was published that I was out in front of reporters, which was a month later, I stated, when asked, that I believed it to be utter bulls---. I chose that terminology as I knew it would be printed. I was only vaguely included in the "bully story" that had been previous and had no need to defend myself. I absolutely said it in support of them. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

You see Pandora and Jason come for a family dinner. It was short and sweet, but the reason they were there was to inform me that after five interviews with a company in New York there was a possibility of them moving there -- whaaaat? Noooooo! But after that initial announcement they came up with another plan and wanted my blessing, a plan to recreate the sangria that we have sold for years in SUR and VILLA BLANCA and take it to the market, with my approval on all aspects -- taste, design, etc. . .I was hesitant to venture into anything business oriented with Jason, as I believe we have a perfect relationship and I didn't want anything to jeopardize that.

Anyway, they decided to run with it, and I am extremely proud of their new business venture. I have overseen and been instrumental on every aspect of it. It is exciting times.

Brandi and I met up briefly at the bikini shop. In the midst of her trying on not very much, she states that she "made out" with Carlton. . .I was stunned, firstly because she announced something so personal for the world to now know. I had no idea how Carlton as a mother and wife would feel about that. Was there not an unwritten code that one would not disclose that? That is between them and certainly not my battle. I imagine it was a frivolous moment, not that I have ever had any like that. But I would be more concerned with the lack of discretion and take note for the future.

And so on we go on this tumultuous journey. . .

Have a good week.
Love always Lisa.
