But already, it is doing so much more than that.

She lets the other women fawn over Sutton, who is sobbing, “I didn’thandle thatwell.”

And it’s not going to go much differently this time!

Because these two womendon’t like each other.

I think they werepleather, not leather pants."

It’s that."

“Why are you constantly mean?!”

Sutton cries out, and Crystal has had it.

You cantellCrystal has had it because her voice finally raises above the tone of a casual conversation.

“You’re upset because you want me to apologize for somethingyoudid!”

“Let’s be clear, I will not apologize foryouractions.”

And then you want to cry and get empathy.

You’re not gonnaget it, trust me."

“Then LEAVE,” Crystal bellows.

Is Crystal a little “mean” in her approach to finally telling Sutton what she thinks of her?

But I firmly believe Crystal was pushed to this point.

Garcelle asks Sutton to put on her big girl panties (“the high waisted ones!”

Y’know, the exact same question she asked the last time they had this argument.

But this time, Sutton has a slightly different response.

FOUR DAYS LATER

Kyle, Dorit, and Kathy have tested positive for COVID.

And everyone isin quarantine,restricted to their iPads during one of the most significant revelations inRHOBHhistory.

Erika doesn’t quote Dorinda Medley to answer, but I will:Not well, bitch!

She proceeds to provide no facts for us to care about.

she learned about the allegations against Tom at the exact moment the public did.

Which I take issue with.

Not that there’s a sadistic streak in everybody there is.

Erika doesn’t owe her viewing public anything, of course.

Butwealso don’t oweherour allegiance when the tough gets going, and she has to get tough.

This is an industry built on casting judgment based on a limited supply of information!

It’s so painful when you read things about that lawsuit."

But she doesn’t!

Yes, Erika, Tom has made a mess for you and his colleagues, andabsolutelyno one else.

It’s simply hard to find sympathy for someone who seems to be offering so little herself.

“There’s nothing I can do except wait to tell my side of the story.”

Erika cries that Kyle would be shocked at how quickly people distance themselves from you when times get rough.

She thinks he’ll punish her until the very end.

And that’s exactly where she feels like she’s arrived: “This is the end.”
