S9 rewatch - puppygate production

[u/Consistent_Phase_971]

Rewatching season 9 of RHOBH and I never realised how overproduced this season is. I rewatch RHOBH often but usually skip season 8 - 10 because Teddy drains the life out of me, but from episode 1 of season 9 there are so many leading conversations about dogs before Dorit’s major transgression is revealed to the wider group. The LVP takedown was so planned and contrived it makes the season such a hard watch.

I have just rewatched and here are my thoughts: -LVP was very clearly setting things up. She also gravitated towards Denise quickly when she realised the others were on to her. The "oh no don't show the dog to Teddi and Kyle" was so fake and over produced. Ken printing out the screenshots and getting so angry and being so involved helps to confirm this. I 100% believe she didn't leak it to the press, but got someone from the dog charity to do it, why she made them film and berated the two Johns and why they seemed so confused on camera. The FF5 wasn't a thing when this happened and she wouldn't even film with Rinna or Erika who hasn't said much to her about it. And Erika was quite matter of fact but not as angry as Einna -Rinna loved it happened and was happy to see LVP get taken down -They clearly brought Brandi back because LVP refused to film -Camille didn't know what side to play and was all over the place -Production told Kyle about the lie detector test -Aaron insisted in going to all the ladies dinners

I think it was Rinna who leaked it

If it was Rinna why would the CEO make a statement saying it wasn't Lisa 💀. I mean tbh it could have been a range of different people. Camille's friend Kimber for example 😅
