‘Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ season 3 review: Adrienne Maloof denies threats of ‘suing’ Brandi Glanville
On this week’s episode of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” Lisa Vanderpump decided that it was time to sit down with Kyle Richards and find out why she isn’t standing up for her when fights occur with the other ladies. Lisa felt that Kyle should have said something when Adrienne Maloof was attacking her at the reunion and again when the ladies were in Las Vegas when Camille Grammer accused Lisa of not owning all of her restaurants (which turned out to not be true). Lisa asks Kyle to say that she was wrong, but Kyle tells her that she doesn’t want the apology to be forced like this. They were able to work out some of their differences and it seems that Kyle has a better understanding now of what Lisa wants from their friendship.
Later, Lisa decides to throw a tea party for the ladies at her beautiful home and it will include both Adrienne and Brandi Glanville. Adrienne and Brandi have been avoiding each other since their big blow out and the divide has separated the women from spending time together as a group, so Lisa is hoping that the tea party will bring everyone back onto some sort of civil ground.
Adrienne decides to bring Faye to Lisa’s party (without asking Lisa first) and now Brandi is worried that Adrienne and Faye together are going to cause problems for her, but Adrienne has no plans on discussing their differences at Lisa’s party. After everyone is seated Lisa makes a toast to everyone, saying that she wants everyone to offer olive branches so that everyone can move forward, but when everyone starts clinking glasses, Brandi doesn’t clink glasses with Adrienne. Lisa calls Brandi out on it (quietly) and Adrienne reaches her glass out to Brandi’s and the clink glasses.
The girls try to encourage Taylor to do gymnastics, but when she says that if she breaks her neck she’ll just sue since “everyone here likes to sue everyone else”, the party starts to get tense. Lisa takes Brandi and Taylor into the kitchen to tell them to stop with the suing innuendos and play nice. Back at the table Adrienne claims that she never sued or threatened to sue Brandi, but Taylor tells her that Brandi got a letter from Adrienne’s attorney threatening legal action. Brandi says that she got a letter from her attorney and that she has the letter, but Adrienne is denying everything saying that she is absolutely wrong. Adrienne accuses Brandi of saying falsehoods on her Twitter account and Brandi says that the things she wrote were true. Adrienne wants an apology and Brandi says that she already sent an email apologizing that included all the other women so that there would be no question from anyone if she apologized or not, but it’s not enough for Adrienne. Brandi tells Adrienne off and decides to leave the party, ready to print off the lawyer’s letters and show everyone the truth.
Do you think that Adrienne really sent a letter threatening legal action to Brandi? Is it time that Adrienne and Brandi settle their differences? Are you on Brandi or Adrienne’s side in this fight? Leave us a comment and tell us what you think.

What’s the big deal about using a surrogate? It would have been smarter for Adrienne to admit using a surrogate to have kids from the beginning. I think she could have gained empathy from the public by sharing her reasons for using a surrogate and facing the difficult task of telling her children.
But Adrienne chose to hide the truth and threatened Bravo and Brandi with lawsuits — Which is why Bravo did not air the surrogate accusation on the show – which was really weird – my reaction was why is Adrienne going bonkers over this? Not airing the accusation only served to shine a spot light on the situation. Did she think viewers would be unable to find out from other sources? Adrienne should have just dealt with the accusation honestly and truthfully – after all this is a reality tv show. But apparently to Adrienne, the purpose of RHBH is to show what a perfect life she has.
Now that Adrienne has been criticized for intimidating Brandi with her legal and financial power, Adrienne pulls perhaps the most curious of PR moves – she denies ever sending letters threatening legal action. But we’ve all seen Adrienne say on camera she would sue Brandi. And Brandi has the letter as proof. There is proof Adrienne lied and now all eyes are trained on her. For someone with so much money, where are her advisers? Adrienne isn’t very savvy – her good name is being sullied and it’s all self-inflicted.

Not sure it will make a difference..am in the entertainment business but this show captured an audience at one time but you are losing it…Too many wives and by the way the show is called housewives but yet what is with all the singles?? Taylor needs to go..sorry but her character is sooooo boring and Kim , who I guess is Kyle’s sister also yawn yawn… Was this a pity contract because of sister?? She seriously needs to be eliminated. Her character is so boring that when she appears its like a commercial break…bathroom time. If we want to learn about addictions we can watch Intervention on opposing channel.All other characters great but seriously dont ruin show by doing this phony thing and get rid of cast that doesnt belong. Trust me speak from a huge viewing group..we are about to drop the station
