The world stopped when pop stars Charli XCX and Lorde dropped their remix of “Girl, So Confusing.” The smash hit had many listeners re-examining their friendship breakups and wondering if they too could “work it out on the remix.” The song also inspired a TikTok trend. Fans posted photos and videos of feuding celebrities or TV characters with the “Girl, So Confusing” audio in the background.
Naturally, I couldn’t help but apply the concept to the Bravoverse. There are countless Bravo feuds that I’ve been waiting with bated breath to be resolved. It’s no fun seeing your favs fight. In honor of the TikTok trend, I’ve compiled a list of Bravo feuds I hope will be resolved soon.
Here are three Bravo feuds that could benefit from working it out on the remix:
Bethenny Frankel and Carole Radziwill
There once was a time Real Housewives of New York stars Bethenny Frankel and Carole Radziwill were tied at the hip. They first formed a friendship when Bethenny returned to the franchise for Season 7. She found solace in Carole’s laid-back attitude and the two bonded over being the most normal in the group. Their friendship continued until the end of Season 10 when all hell broke loose. There were a myriad of reasons for the “breakup.” They fought over subjective text messages, a charity event gone wrong, and who a man in a scarf liked more (cue eye roll). However, the crux of the fight seemed to be Bethenny’s abandonment issues. She felt hurt and dismissed by her friend.
The women were never able to repair the friendship. They continue to throw digs at each other in interviews to this day. During Bethenny and Jill Zarin’s mending fences episode on the Just B podcast, Jill asked if Bethenny would be interested in having Carole on the podcast. B was firm that she had no interest in burying the hatchet with her former friend. Carole said the same in an interview on SiriusXM. She told the host that Bethenny was using her to “construct a storyline.”
A reconciliation between these two Alphas seems unlikely but a girl can dream. I miss their friendship. It was a joy watching them take on New York together.
Lisa Vanderpump and Kyle Richards
Bethenny and Carole’s friendship breakup was based on silly disagreements but nothing is more unserious than Lisa Vanderpump and Kyle Richards feud. Lisa cut Kyle out of her life over PUPPY DRAMA.
In Season 9 of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Dorit Kemsley adopted a dog from Vanderpump Dogs named Lucy Lucy Apple Juice. Unfortunately, the dog allegedly had behavioral issues and she didn’t feel comfortable having the pup around her kids. She thought she gave Lucy away to a loving home but Vanderpump Dogs was alerted that the dog ended up in a kill shelter. The RHOBH cast became suspicious of Lisa after stories about the situation started popping up in the press.
Her cast members suspected she planted the stories, which caused a whole lot of drama. Lisa seemed the most hurt by Kyle’s questioning given their close friendship.
Their friendship breakup still makes me sad. They were such a funny duo on RHOBH and the show isn’t the same without LVP. Lisa isn’t quick to forgive, so I’m not holding my breath for a rekindling, but it would be iconic if these two came together again.
Teresa Giudice and Margaret Josephs
We’ll probably see aliens touch down on Earth before we see Real Housewives of New Jersey stars Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga work it out. I’ve given up on that one. However, I do have some hope that Teresa and Margaret Josephs can “work it out on the remix.”
The Season 14 finale was rough and gave me little hope that these two hot-headed Jersey girls will be able to resolve their issues. But Teresa did say there was some hope for her and Marge at the end of the Finale Watch Party. When she was asked if there was a world in which she would forgive Marge, she said it was possible if her foe got down on her knees and apologized for everything. Now, I don’t think Marge would ever do that but the statement did give me some hope for the future.
Jersey is in a tough place right now with the cast so divided. The women may be replaced if they can’t find common ground soon. Teresa won’t film with Melissa but she may be willing to talk to Marge to save the show. It’s unlikely but it could happen. Here’s hoping Dolores Catania can create some peace between the two.
