Brielle Biermann Compares Lip Fillers To Getting A Soda
Brielle Biermann, the daughter of Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kim Zolciak, opened up about her experiences with non-surgical cosmetic procedures, and it's alarming. Brielle is one of the celebrities and influencers who will appear on Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind, a show hosted by Michelle Visage, where they will work with a plastic surgeon, Dr. Terry Dubrow, and psychotherapist, Dr. Spirit, PhD, to evaluate if they want to revise their cosmetic procedures or keep getting more work done. Other participants include Danity Kane singer Aubrey O'Day, Love and Hip Hop Atlanta star Jessica Dime, influencers Sofia Elgerabli, Sebastian Bails, Alan McGarry, and 90 Day Fiancé star Larissa Santos Lima. Talking with Dr. Dubrow in a promotional segment, Brielle, now 28 years old, discussed how she developed her habit of cosmetic work from her mom, Kim. "I had just turned 18 when I first got my lips done." "I graduated high school and the second I graduated, my mom took me to L.A. and I got my lips done by the doctor that everybody was getting their lips done all the time," she said. When Dr. Dubrow asked if there was any hesitation from the doctor because of her age, she said, "No. It was like, 'Get in the chair, let's go.'" Brielle received lip filler a bunch of times and even began to receive filler placed underneath her eyes and in her cheeks, although her mom was against it. "I told her to never do that under her eyes," her mom told Dr. Dubrow. "Sometimes you gotta let them go and learn on their own, even though I was like, 'Please don't.'" Now, Brielle's attitude toward getting filler underneath her eyes has changed. Admitting she was no longer happy with the work, she pointed out which parts under her eyes were puffy. "One side is definitely more full than the other," she told the doctor. The social media personality acknowledged that her habits around cosmetic enhancements were something she learned from her mother and people around her. "I was always going with her to her doctors' appointments. I feel like she was mostly getting every laser she could think of to remain youthful, but then every month, 'I'm like I need to get my lips done.'" "Filler became like getting a Diet Coke. The under-eye filler became an insecurity that I didn't even know I really had," Brielle added. "My mom was always going to get botox and lip filler, and watching my mom go through this made it seem normal," she continued. "I get hit up by tons of doctors for free surgeries, free injections. Anything I felt like I could go fix, I would go and I would fix it." Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind premieres on E! on July 9 and will be available on Peacock starting July 16th.

Bayou Blessings: Eva Marcille ‘Soft Launches' Reconciliation With Ex-Husband Michael Sterling At ESSENCE Fest Two Years After Divorce
Eva Marcille is spinning the block, announcing her rekindled relationship with her ex-husband years after their divorce. Source: Paras Griffin / Getty Two years after finalizing their divorce, the Real Housewives of Atlanta alum and her ex-husband, Michael Sterling, have revealed that they are back together. Marcille took to Instagram on Sunday to post a video of herself riding in a golf cart with her ex-husband, unveiling their rekindled relationship to the world. According to her caption, the video was captured at ESSENCE Fest, which took place over the Fourth of July weekend in New Orleans. In the footage, Sterling flashed a smile at the camera before Eva rested her head on his shoulder and giggled. 'Happy Essence!' the reality star wrote over the video. 'I'm floating🌻 soft launch #ganggang #essencefest.' The reality star's fellow Real Housewives took to the comments section to gush over the clip, with Kandi Burruss, Kenya Moore, and Gretchen Rossi all leaving heart emojis in support of the relationship relaunch. Marcille and Sterling first began dating in 2016, with the lawyer proposing in December of the following year. In April 2018, the couple welcomed son Michael Jr., now 7, and got married six months later. Following their Georgia wedding, Marcille gave her 11-year-old daughter, Marley, from a previous relationship Sterling's last name. Their second son Maverick, now 5, was born in September 2019. In 2023, the pair split, with Marcille citing 'irreconcilable differences' in her divorce filing. 'This has been one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make, but sometimes life takes your journey in a direction you were not expecting,' Marcille told PEOPLE at the time. 'Our children remain our biggest priority and the eight and half years we have spent together will always be cherished. We ask that you respect our privacy at this time.' The year after their split, the actress spoke about the weight she lost during the 'hard' breakup during an appearance on the Tamron Hall Show. 'It's like the stomach flu — you will be skinny afterward,' Marcille said in April 2024. 'When you drop a 200-pound person, you're gonna drop at least 30 pounds.'

Nene Leakes Declined ‘The Traitors' Season 4 For Family Reasons
Source: Prince Williams / Getty Reality TV queen Nene Leakes is setting the record straight about why she won't be appearing on Season 4 of Peacock's The Traitors , despite swirling rumors that she was slated to join the cast. Read more inside. In a new interview on the Humble Brag with Crystal and Cynthia podcast, the Real Housewives of Atlanta alum confirmed that she was indeed approached to compete in the wildly popular competition series and was even excited about the opportunity. However, family came first. 'I was asked to do Traitors — I was really excited about doing it, by the way,' Leakes shared candidly. But behind the scenes, her 25-year-old son Brent was facing serious health challenges after suffering a stroke at 22 and undergoing a heart transplant. 'His heart started rejecting [the transplant],' she revealed, adding that he had to be hospitalized in order 'to stop the rejection.' Though Brent has since 'turned a curve' and is recovering, Leakes admitted there was no way she could've stepped away to film. 'My fear was committing and then having to go back to them and say, I can't do it. So that was never going to work,' she said. 'Brent was very sick. It was no way I could have committed to it.' Leakes also shut down social media rumors claiming she walked away due to money. 'No, no, no. I got the check,' she said firmly. 'If Brent had been in the place that he's in today, I would have went.' While fans may be disappointed not to see Nene stirring the pot in the Scottish Highlands alongside fellow Housewives like Porsha Williams, Lisa Rinna, and Candiace Dillard Bassett, her reasoning is deeply heartfelt. 'We can FaceTime. He's talking. He wasn't walking at the time. Now he's walking, he's talking,' Leakes said proudly. Though The Traitors Season 4 will go on with a star-studded cast, Nene Leakes is focusing on what matters most — family and healing. And when the time is right, fans can bet that her return to the spotlight will be just as iconic. SEE ALSO Nene Leakes Declined 'The Traitors' Season 4 For Family Reasons was originally published on

RHOA's Shamea Morton & Kandi Burruss Like Pro-Diddy Posts Online, Furious Fans Put Their Peach Pasts On Blast
The fallout from the Diddy trial verdict continues to ripple through the entertainment world, and 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' favorites are now facing significant backlash after Shamea Morton and Kandi Burruss liked pro-Diddy Instagram posts. As a result, several outraged fans find their stance deeply problematic. Source: Prince Williams / Getty Reactions continue to pour in after the shocking results of the Diddy trial, where a jury exonerated him on some of his most serious charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering. The verdict sparked a wave of strong opinions across social media. As reported by Reality Tea, Kandi Burruss and Shamea Morton were both 'busted liking a pro-Diddy post' on Instagram, fueling fan outrage. The controversial post originated from a woman named Eboni Elektra, who is known to be the best friend of the late Kim Porter, who was in an allegedly abusive relationship with Combs until 2007. According to Page Six, she is also Combs' cousin. In the moments after the verdict, Elektra shared a picture of Diddy with the caption, 'PRAISE GOD.' Elektra's post continued, 'GOD'S WILL… is higher than any opinion, mistake, judgment, or gossip. If this is God's will for Puff/Diddy, then that's His will. In the end, what we think does not compare to His will.' For many, drawing on religion to praise a man who was captured on camera violently beating his then-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, as seen in the widely circulated hotel footage, was already a contentious move. The fact that Kandi and Shamea then publicly endorsed this post by liking it intensified the negative reaction from their followers. For Shamea Morton, the like on the post was particularly jarring for fans. Shamea has been open about surviving an abusive relationship prior to her marriage to Gerald Mwangi. Fans questioned why someone with such a personal history would seemingly endorse a post celebrating a man seen committing acts of violence. Kandi Burruss Likes Pro-Diddy Post: Past Controversies Resurface For Kandi Burruss, the controversy is even more intense, given her own history on 'RHOA.' Fans on X (formerly Twitter) have been quick to criticize Kandi's actions, bringing up her infamous feud with Phaedra Parks. You may recall, Kandi faced shocking accusations of attempting to drug and engage in sexual activities with fellow cast members, particularly regarding claims of conspiring to drug Porsha Williams to take advantage of her. While Kandi vehemently denied these accusations, the fact that she was on the receiving end of such grave allegations makes her perceived support for Diddy – who has faced accusations of drugging people for sexual acts – a bitter pill for many fans to swallow. 'They jumping Kandi for showing support for Diddy as they should bc why would you wanna be associated with that type of person after the stuff you were accused of?' one user wrote. This isn't the first time this summer that Kandi has found herself in hot water over her social media activity. When Todd Chrisley, the reality TV star convicted of federal tax evasion and bank fraud, received a pardon from the President, Kandi went out of her way to show her support for him. This perceived pattern of aligning herself with controversial figures or seemingly supporting questionable outcomes has fans demanding answers and clarity from the usually media-savvy entrepreneur. 'Where was y'all at months ago before the trial? Where was y'all at during the trial? If you were in such support of this man or against the trial, why didn't you say that while the trial was going on?' YouTuber Aaron stated. This public questioning of their silence throughout the weeks-long trial, only to celebrate its outcome, has further fueled the backlash surrounding the fact that Kandi Burruss likes pro-Diddy sentiments.
