Shamea Culpa: Part 1 (Rafi D'Angelo on RHOA, RHUGT, The Valley, RHORI, RHOC, and more)

Sarah sets a Google Cal reminder for August 23, 2027: "Remember to light a Yahrzeit candle to memorialize the beautiful life that was RHOA S17." After saying her prayers in a Rum Bum shaped spiritual circle, a hilling retreat in the cloff, she celebrates the journey of RHOA and a few other beloved shows (and...Orange County) with her beloved Bravoholic pal, seeker of truths and LOLs, Rafi D'Angelo (writer, overpricedvodka.com). Over the course of this homeless but not toothless two-parter, Sarah and Rafi deep dive their RHOA highs, lows, and omg don't come for Angela or else you're ready for some ruh-rohs, K. Michelle's journey from "Love and Hip-Hop" to RHOA (and the impact of LAHH on her 'plotting' conspiracy theory), a curious case of confirmation bias that had Angela's sympathy (bcc: Don Corleone), Kelli "I look a gift horse in the mouth and say 'nay' to feeling gratitude for Phaedra's legal assistance" Potter, Phaedra and Pinky's continued back-and-forth, Porsha's boundaries around discussion involving her mom and child after a boundary-crossing conflict with Shamea, Shamea's continued focus on her own, sole innocence (while continuing to test people), Angela and Amaré's relationship, Rafi's interest in Kelsey's relationship with her ex [redacted: Judge Caprio's son], a moment from Kyle's RHUGT white party that had Sarah cackling, the importance of gay men as a part of the foundational culture on RHOA (fingers crossed for RHUGT cameos!), "The Valley" aka relationship Dark Shadows, a RHUGT made up of Housewives moms, RHOC's Grand Canyon convo, and more. Kelli says she's the standard, and Hanes would like to have a $650 word - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 826! Part 1!

Highlighted Organizations:

Women Wage Peace: Women Wage Peace is the largest grassroots peace movement in Israel whose purpose is to promote a political agreement, involving women in the process. Today the movement has more than 44,000 members.

NewGround: a Muslim-Jewish Partnership for Change: NewGround envisions an America where Muslims and Jews and others, both secular and religious, model lasting partnerships and engagement in authentic communication and mutual cooperation. The organization empowers Muslims, Jews and allies to bridge divisions and leverage shared values to strengthen our communities and our fragile democracy.

Standing Together: Standing Together  is a progressive grassroots movement mobilizing Jewish and Palestinian citizens of Israel against the occupation and for peace, equality, and social justice. We know that the majority have far more in common than that which sets us apart and only a tiny minority benefits from the status quo. The future that we want — peace and independence for Israelis and Palestinians, full equality for everyone in this land, and true social, economic, and environmental justice — is possible.

Solutions Not Sides: Solutions Not Sides has been teaching skills of empathy, active listening, communication, critical thinking and conflict resolution through exploration of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict since 2010. Our programme is based on three key values: non-violence, equality for all, and the rejection of hatred.

Palestine Children's Relief Fund (PCRF): PCRF is the primary humanitarian organization in Palestine, delivering crucial and life-saving medical relief and humanitarian aid where it is needed most. Access to essential resources like food, clean water, and healthcare is severely limited. Urgent action is needed. With your support, we can continue this vital work, ensuring that the over one million children of Gaza receive the urgent care they need and deserve. https://www.pcrf.net/
