"I have to have some integrity at the end of this," Mellencamp said of her decision not to kiss up to Tate. The two women were among the group of eleven celebrities who moved into <a href="https://www.insider.com/big-brother-season-23-winner-players-the-cookout-interview-2021-9">the "Big Brother" house</a> this season to play the game of strategy and psychology and outsmart each other to win the $250,000 grand prize.The person who wins each week's "Head of Household" competition becomes the head of household, or HOH, and holds the power to nominate two other contestants for eviction from the house. They also get to have their own room for the week of their reign, dubbed the HOH room.<div type="image" title="Teddi Mellencamp wearing a wide-brim hat" height="1333" width="1778" msid="89415289" hostid="261"></div>A common "<keyword id="12048092" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="big-brother" source="Orion">Big Brother</keyword>" tactic for contestants who don't win HOH is to befriend the HOH during that player's time in the master suite to increase their chances of avoiding nomination and staying in the game longer. Mellencamp said some of her castmates used this tactic, perhaps because they admire Tate's career outside of the house."Chris Kirkpatrick, I think, would die for her," Mellencamp told Insider on Saturday of the former NSYNC member's loyalty to Tate.The HOH naturally has a lot of power over the house while they hold the title, given that they partially control the fate of people in the game. But some HOHs demand respect for their title more than others, and Mellencamp said Tate was one who "didn't take that job lightly." "We're like at her beck and call," said Mellencamp, adding that she was shocked by the athlete's attitude. Tate was carefully planning her meals as she prepared for an upcoming fight, but the former <keyword id="11899410" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="reality-tv" source="Orion">reality TV</keyword> star said that Tate had housemates "cleaning up after her" throughout the house. <div type="image" title="Teddi Mellencamp." height="675" width="900" msid="89415290" hostid="261"></div>If Mellencamp had held the HOH title, she said the vibe of the house would have been different. "I would've made it fun," she said, explaining she had a deal <a href="https://www.insider.com/lamar-odom-pooped-his-bed-on-celebrity-big-brother-2022-2">with housemate Lamar Odom</a> that he could have her HOH room if he voted to keep her in the competition this past week and if Mellencamp ended up winning HOH in a future week. "So HOH would've been a completely different experience had me or Lamar been in that room," she added. According to Mellencamp, Tate kept her door closed most of the time and was "zero fun."

While discussing Cohen's new book, "The Daddy Diaries: The Year I Grew Up," Cohen said the birth of his daughter changed him as a parent. "I felt way more in control when I had just one. Then when I had two, I not only felt ... I don't want to say I felt out of control, but I just felt the experience got a little lonelier for me. I started to feel more vulnerable," Cohen said.He then recalled an instance when he took his children to the park but noticed he was the only single parent present."The sprinklers went off. I didn't know to have a change of clothes," Cohen told Mellencamp and Judge. "I looked around, and I'm the only single parent there. I'm the only gay dad. I just felt like I was on an island, and I went back to my house, and I cried." Cohen added: "And I cried more than once. Somehow it opened up a vulnerability. It was just a trigger." Cohen welcomed his son via surrogate in February 2019 and Lucy via surrogate in April 2022, <a href="https://people.com/parents/all-about-andy-cohen-kids/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to People</a>.

The cast includes Umansky and two of Richards' daughters, Farrah and Alexia, <a href="https://www.insider.com/questions-real-housewives-of-beverly-hills-reunion-trailer-2022-10">who have all previously appeared on "RHOBH."</a>But aside from a very small FaceTime cameo, the original "RHOBH" cast member told Insider earlier this year that she's far too busy to take on yet another reality TV role in the real estate docusoap."I'm really excited for my husband and the girls," Richards told us in July. "It's exciting, it's fun to see how [The Agency] has grown. But I really have my hands full with the 'Housewives' and my acting and producing again. My plate is full right now."As well as recently wrapping season 12 of "RHOBH," Richards appeared alongside Jamie Lee Curtis in "Halloween Ends" last month. <a href="https://www.insider.com/halloween-ends-david-gordon-green-spoilers-secrets-revealed-2022-10">The movie marked the final installment in the latest "Halloween" trilogy.</a><div type="image" title="Buying Beverly Hills" height="1753" width="3507" msid="95360045" hostid="261" sizebytes="112040"></div>For his part, Richards' husband told <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/mauricio-umansky-why-kyle-richards-isnt-on-buying-beverly-hills/">Us Weekly</a> last week that the reason she won't be appearing on the show is that "Buying Beverly Hills" is on a different network — Netflix — to the one that Richards calls home: Bravo."I think that's just an issue between networks," Umansky told the magazine.Richards did, however, support her family at the Netflix show's premiere in West Hollywood last week. The "Housewives" star <a href="https://realityblurb.com/2022/11/04/photos-kyle-richards-dorit-kemsley-and-teddi-mellencamp-attend-buying-beverly-hills-premiere/">hit the red carpet at the event</a> with costar Dorit Kemsley and former costar Teddi Mellencamp.Richards' strained relationship with sister Kathy Hilton has been one of the focal points of "RHOBH" season 12, following Hilton's <a href="https://www.insider.com/timeline-the-real-housewives-of-beverly-hills-aspen-drama-2022-10">alleged meltdown during a trip to Aspen</a>. According to Lisa Rinna, Hilton threatened to "destroy" Richards and her family during a diatribe. Hilton has denied Rinna's claims.Speaking to Us Weekly, Umansky said it's been "really hard to watch" his wife and sister-in-law fight on television."I know a lot of the stuff that's going on in the background, which isn't exactly what's being put out there. Being supportive of Kyle, I think Kyle's a hundred percent in the right here without question," Umansky said. "I think that it's sad the way it's being portrayed, the way it's being received, and what's going on. But Kyle's so strong and she's such a good person that she's not even out there really trying to defend herself too much and she's just taking it in the chin, like the strong person that she is."

The series - which was inspired by creator <a href="https://www.instagram.com/garyjanetti/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;ig_rid=7d3ba161-a3cd-4d6a-83b5-cd5c141c272a272a">Gary Janetti's Instagram</a> account - instantly made headlines after all 12 episodes were dropped at midnight on Thursday with little promotion or fanfare. Critics and royal commentators called out the show (<a href="https://www.insider.com/sophie-turner-voicing-princess-charlotte-hbo-fan-reaction-hypocrite-accusations-2021-7">and Sophie Turner</a>, who plays Princess Charlotte) for taking aim at <a href="https://www.insider.com/kate-middleton-prince-williams-new-strategy-after-oprah-interview-photos-2021-6">Kate Middleton and Prince William's</a> young children, while others were appalled that it made fun of Prince Philip's deteriorating health just months after his death. But those aren't the only issues with the cartoon.<h2>'The Prince' just isn't funny, not even a little.

There are also plenty of adults to make fun of in the royal family, and "The Prince" doesn't hold back as it takes aim at every member. The Queen constantly throws tantrums over tarts, Camilla's a mute, Prince Charles is desperate for his mother's love, and Prince Philip is a bumbling old man who can't chew his own food. <div type="image" title="&quot;Prince George&quot; HBO cartoon" height="1634" width="2516" msid="84991649" hostid="261"></div>"The Prince" was actually delayed <a href="https://www.insider.com/prince-philip-funeral-photos-show-royal-family-arrival-2021-4">following Philip's death</a> in April, but the show made no effort to remove repeated jokes about his condition, including Prince George's quip to "get the defibrillator paddles ready."Meanwhile, <keyword id="2959098" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="Meghan-Markle">Meghan Markle</keyword> is portrayed as a desperate actress who can't land a new gig, Prince Harry is so out of touch that he can't buy milk or work a fridge, and Middleton is constantly guzzling wine to cope with being married to Prince William. <div type="image" title="&quot;Prince George&quot; HBO comedy" height="1547" width="2063" msid="84991652" hostid="261"></div>"I thought everyone in LA was just a vapid alcoholic," she tells her husband in one episode.

Anyone <a href="https://www.insider.com/meghan-markle-kate-middleton-pitted-against-each-other-toxic-press-2021-3">who has read a British tabloid</a> - or just gazed at the front page of one - wouldn't find these spoofs of the royals to be surprising.

I also loved the running subplot of two married Buckingham Palace butlers who desperately just want to keep the spark alive - and find some free time to finally watch "Game of Thrones" together.With everything that has happened in the royal family over the last few years, the adults are a ripe source of inspiration for commentary on the monarchy, as well as <keyword id="6355064" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="Celebrity">celebrity</keyword> culture and the differences between British and American media and society. But satire still has to be smart, funny, and surprising. "The Prince" drops the ball on all three, and needlessly makes fun of a kid in the process.

"I have great love and respect for Tom and for our years and the lives we built together." But class-action law firm Edelson PC alleges that the couple's divorce is a "sham attempt to fraudulently protect Tom and Erika's money from those that seek to collect on debts owed by Tom and his law firm," according to court documents viewed by Insider.In the lawsuit, Edelson PC claims that Jayne and Girardi are using their divorce to hide money that rightfully belongs to the families of plane crash victims.Girardi's law firm Girardi Keese represented the families of multiple victims from the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/boeing-737-max-lion-air-indonesia-crash-anniversary-questions-fallout-2019-10">Lion Air Flight 610 accident</a>.

The class-action firm claims in the new lawsuit — which was filed on Wednesday in a Chicago federal court — that Boeing transferred confidential settlements to Girardi Keese, but that the funds were never distributed to the victims' families. The suit alleges that Girardi instead kept the money "for his own purposes and doled it out to his friends and family," including Jayne. "At the heart of this deception is Defendant Girardi and his need to fund outrageous lifestyles for himself and his soon-to-be ex-wife Erika Jayne," the complaint continues. "Tom and Erika have reached <keyword id="6355064" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Celebrity">celebrity</keyword> status in the glitz-and-glam world of Hollywood and Beverly Hills ...

The source said that Jayne, 49, had "known about his infidelity for years" but had recently reached "her breaking point." "When she was performing her last week on Broadway, he left her high and dry and was frolicking around town instead of supporting her and attending her shows," the source told People. "She realized she would never be a priority to him." <div type="image" title="Erika Jayne" height="2938" width="2000" msid="79805461" hostid="261"></div>Jayne was performing in "Chicago" on Broadway in the role of Roxie Hart. Her stint was cut short after theaters closed in New York in March due to the coronavirus pandemic. The source told People that Jayne and Girardi's split was "a long time coming." "The lawsuit just coincided with her decision to leave him," they added. Jayne, who married Girardi in 1999, <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/pictures/rhobhs-erika-jayne-tom-girardis-divorce-everything-we-know/">filed for divorce</a> in November, citing "irreconcilable differences."Jayne had previously requested that <a href="https://www.eonline.com/news/1207091/erika-jayne-is-requesting-spousal-support-from-estranged-husband-tom-girardi">Girardi provide spousal support</a> in their divorce, and that he pay her legal fees. Girardi has since asked the court to terminate Jayne's right to spousal support and requested that the reality star pay her own attorney's fees, according to court documents obtained by <a href="https://pagesix.com/2020/12/09/erika-girardis-husband-requests-terminating-spousal-support/">Page Six</a>. Representatives for Girardi and Jayne did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment. <h2>Contrary to the source's explanation for their split, a recent lawsuit claimed the reality star's divorce filing was just a 'sham'</h2><a href="https://www.insider.com/real-housewives-stars-divorce-is-a-sham-new-lawsuit-claims-2020-12">Jayne and Girardi made headlines in early December</a> when a lawsuit filed on December 2 by class-action law firm Edelson PC alleged that the couple was using a "sham" divorce to hide money - used to fund their "lavish lifestyle" - that was meant for families of the victims of the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/boeing-737-max-lion-air-indonesia-crash-anniversary-questions-fallout-2019-10">Lion Air Flight 610 accident</a>, according to court documents viewed by Insider.The new Boeing 737 MAX plane crashed into the Java Sea 13 minutes after taking off from the Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Jakarta, Indonesia, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/lion-air-crash-timeline-boeing-737-max-disaster-killed-189-2019-10">killing all 189 passengers and crew onboard</a>. Girardi's law firm Girardi Keese represented the families of multiple victims, but, Edelson PC's suit claims, did not distribute the agreed-upon settlement funds that Boeing paid out to the victims' families. The suit, viewed by Insider, alleges that Girardi instead kept the money "for his own purposes and doled it out to his friends and family," including Jayne. Edelson PC declined to comment when previously reached by Insider about the case. <div type="image" title="Lion Air Crash" height="1368" width="2000" msid="79805463" hostid="261"></div><h2>Tom Girardi is <a href="https://www.insider.com/erika-jayne-husband-tom-girardi-held-in-civil-contempt-rhobh-2020-12">now being held in civil contempt</a> in connection to the embezzlement lawsuit - and also dealing with another lawsuit brought by his business partners</h2>On Monday, US District Judge Thomas Durkin held Girardi in contempt after Girardi declined to explain why he couldn't pay the $2 million owed to four of his clients, according to the <a href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/2020/12/14/22174396/real-housewives-erika-jaynes-husband-held-civil-contempt-over-missing-lion-air-settlement-cash">Chicago Sun-Times' Jon Seidel</a>. "These are widows and orphans," Durkin said, according to the Sun-Times. "Half a million dollars for any one of these families is a significant amount of money. Life changing, given the tragedy they went through."Durkin asked Girardi to explain what happened to the money, the Sun-Times reports. His lawyer told the judge she had "advised him to decline that," according to the Sun-Times, and said Girardi would not be able to pay the $2 million figure.Durkin is now planning to refer Girardi's case to the US attorney's office, according to the Sun-Times. In a separate lawsuit, Girardi's law-firm partner Robert Keese, in addition to business partners Robert Finnerty and Jill O'Callahan, are claiming that <a href="https://people.com/tv/erika-girardis-husband-tom-sued-by-law-firm-partner-amid-divorce-embezzlement-case/">Giradi kept money from them as well</a>.Their suit alleges that Girardi never paid them the $315,000 in income they were each owed from their joint venture, known as the 1126 Wilshire Partnership, and that they each lost $442,500 in equity, according to court documents viewed by Insider. Keese and his partners said they also each lost $442,500 in equity.

"I have great love and respect for Tom and for our years and the lives we built together." But Edelson PC's lawsuit, which was filed on December 2, alleges that the couple's divorce is a "sham attempt to fraudulently protect Tom and Erika's money from those that seek to collect on debts owed by Tom and his law firm," according to court documents viewed by Insider.The class-action firm claims that Boeing transferred confidential settlements to Girardi Keese following the plane crash, but that the funds were never distributed to the victims' families. The suit alleges that Girardi instead kept the money "for his own purposes and doled it out to his friends and family," including Jayne. "At the heart of this deception is Defendant Girardi and his need to fund outrageous lifestyles for himself and his soon-to-be ex-wife Erika Jayne," the complaint continues. "Tom and Erika have reached <keyword id="6355064" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="Celebrity">celebrity</keyword> status in the glitz-and-glam world of Hollywood and Beverly Hills. To keep up their celebrity status, Tom and Erika must project a public image of obscene wealth at all times, and at whatever the cost."The complaint also claims that Girardi's firm is "on the verge of financial collapse and locked in a downward spiral of mounting debts and dwindling funds." The lawsuit cites an interview Jayne gave to <a href="https://www.eonline.com/news/924125/erika-jayne-s-diet-and-fitness-secrets-may-surprise-you?cmpid=rss-000000-rssfeed-365-topstories&amp;utm_source=eonline&amp;utm_medium=rssfeeds&amp;utm_campaign=rss_topstoriess_topstories">E!

Jayne told <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/did-erika-jayne-tom-girardi-sign-a-prenup/">Andy Cohen in June 2017</a> that she and Girardi do not have a prenuptial agreement because "a prenup wouldn't stand in his way anyway.""I'm married to a very powerful lawyer," she told the Bravo host. "So it doesn't matter whether you had one or you didn't, it's gonna be all Tom's way, I assure you."
