Jeana Keough, Lauri Peterson & Lynne Curtin Talk ‘RHOC’ Reunion Drama on #WWHL; Jeana Comments on Tamra and Simon Custody Battle

Tonight, in the Watch What Happens Live clubhouse, Andy Cohen hosted three blasts from The Real Housewives of Orange County past: Jeana Keough, Lauri Peterson, and Lynne Curtin. All three ladies were dressed in black…mourning their departure from the show, perhaps?

After Andy commented on tonight’s “explosive” RHOC reunion (I’m sorry, what show was he watching, because the only thing explosive about that reunion was talk of Shannon’s colonic) and commented on Lynne’s blinged out cuff bracelet. Believe it or not, she’s still wearing that crap.

Anyway, Andy asked the ladies about Alexis Bellino’s doubts about Tamra’s recent conversion. Jeana said: “Tamra’s made great strides to try to become a better person this season… most of the time she’s been successful.”

Then we were treated to a montage of all the ladies in their heyday, posing provocatively in swimsuits, dancing—badly, fighting with their daughters, and Lynne drunkenly slurring something about big penises. Ah, the good old days.

Andy asked whether the ladies still spoke to their old cast mates. Jeana seemed to still be in touch with everyone. In a bizarre story, both Lauri and Lynn ran into Vicki on a yacht. (Where did I go wrong in life that I’ve never been on a yacht?) Lauri said there were no apologies coming from Vicki. Shocking, I know!

Andy brought up the reunion, where Tamra discussed her relationship with her estranged daughter and put the blame for it firmly on her ex-husband, Simon’s, shoulders. Jeana was all like, not so fast, mister. She regularly talks to both Simon and Tamra, and proclaimed the “children shouldn’t be forced to pick sides.”

Seems to me, Miss Jeana is still riding the fence, and those sharp posts are mighty uncomfortable on the hiney. What does Jeana have in common with Simon anyway?

Moving on to Brooks and #Cancergate, Jeana (who did most of the talking) said: “I hope he is lying, but unfortunately I don’t believe he is.” Lauri commented: “In my personal experiences, I haven’t found him to be trustworthy or honest. I agree with the rest of the girls. It’s suspicious.” Lynn just sat there looking spacey, like always.

The most awkward call of the night, in my opinion, was for Lynn. The caller asked if Lynn’s daughter, Alexa, was still in the “entertainment” industry. (In case you hadn’t heard, Alexa was doing porn to pay for her plastic surgery and was later arrested in a domestic dispute.) Lynn’s mouth popped open and then she mumbled:  “Alexa is doing great… She’s really happy. She’s living in San Diego. She has a boyfriend.” Andy let it go. Good thing too, because no mother wants to talk about that.

And for the best moment of the night, we got a snippet of next week’s reunion where Brianna spills the tea on Brooks. At one point in the past, he put the moves on Vicki’s daughter. He “hit on me when I was pregnant at your birthday party. I told her [she refers to Vicki] that he did it and she called me a liar and said he would never want me.” Ouch! Andy asks Vicki if it’s true. In typical Vicki double speak she says: “I have to believe it because my daughter said it.” Well, that’s a ringing endorsement. Evidently, Brooks wanted to show Brianna his big, old dork. It even has a nickname: Girth Brooks. At this pronouncement, Vicki’s lips puckered up like she’d stolen one of Shannon’s nine lemons and has been sucking on it for the last thirty minutes.

Wrapping things up, we learned Jeana’s son Shane is dating Miss Nevada, who came in third at Miss USA. Lauri’s son, Josh, is still addicted to drugs, and Lynne is a grandmother.

So, do you wish any of these ladies would come back to the ‘Housewives’ franchise? If so, which one? Or would you rather see Gretchen return, with Slade Smiley by her side, a dog tucked under each arm, and sporting enough eyeliner to make a drag queen weep?
