How do you hook it? Women are debating the proper way to put on a bra: ‘The fact that people do this is blowing my mind'
Turns out, getting dressed can be a full-contact sport — at least when it comes to putting on a bra. A boob-tiful debate has ignited after 'Real Housewives of Potomac' star Gizelle Bryant and her podcast co-host Robyn Dixon revealed on an episode of their podcast, 'Reasonably Shady,' their vastly different bra-hooking techniques — erupting a battle of the back-claspers vs. the front-fasteners. '(Some people) latch it in the front, and then they swing it around, and then they put their arms in,' Bryant said. Advertisement 'That's how I do it,' Dixon admitted. Cue the chaos. Jenna Bush Hager and sportscaster Erin Andrews weighed in during a recent episode of 'Jenna & Friends,' siding with team back hook. Advertisement 'We don't put our bra on like that, though. We put it on in the back,' said Bush Hager. 'I've never done it on the front unless it's a front clasp.' 3 Putting on a bra is an act that women will always wonder if they're doing correctly. í íµí³í¸í½í° íâ¢íâ¬í¾íâíµíµí²í° – 'I'm double-jointed. I can do it. I just can't do the strap,' Andrews added. 'I ask [my husband], 'Honey, you're going to have to tighten this bad boy. Tighten it tighter,'' Bush Hager added. Advertisement Turns out this is a long-standing debate — and not every technique involves twisting, hooking or sweating it out. There are multiple Reddit threads of women asking each other how to properly put on the required wardrobe item. 3 Turns out this age-old debate has been bouncing around for decades — and not every bra-putting method involves twisting, contorting or working up a sweat. – 'It partly depends on how broad your shoulders are and how your mobility is. I could never get a correct-sized bra over my head like that, but I know people who can. And not for nothing but repeatedly stretching the band out to put it on that way will definitely wear it out faster,' one person explained on Reddit. Advertisement 'The proper way is to put your arms through the straps and put it on, then reach behind you and do up the clips,' chimed in someone else on the same thread. Even people on TikTok are trying to differentiate between the right and wrong way. 'The fact that people do this is blowing my mind,' a commenter wrote on a TikTok video that discussed the supposed right way. 'This is how I've always done it. the twist method is uncomfortable for me so I'm not sure how else to do it?' another comment read. But Gen Z is the generation trying to reshape the bra narrative. And they're not just rethinking how to put it on — they're questioning why it needs wires at all. Generation Z isn't burning their bras, but they're happy to send underwire packing. Advertisement TikTok creators are going gaga for wire-free options, racking up millions of views — and tossing their pokey push-ups in the bin. 3 Gen Z may not be burning their bras, but they're ditching the underwire fast. TikTokkers are racking up millions of views flaunting their wire-free wins — and chucking their pokey push-ups without a second thought. Arman Zhenikeyev – Melbourne's Stephanie Jade Lewis told that ditching wires was a game-changer. 'I don't even know I'm wearing anything… Now, it's not even a thought,' she said. Orly Jacobson jumped on the wire-free bandwagon too. 'After my breast reduction, I was so sick of wearing painful, wired bras… Seeing a lot of women my age wearing playful and versatile bralettes made me want to jump on the bandwagon.' Advertisement And Gen Z is putting its money where its mesh is. 'We have seen a significant consumer trend among Gen Z women, who are ditching traditional wired bras in favour of wire-free options,' De Winter said. Whether you hook, twist, tug or step in — one thing's for sure: the bra wars are far from over.

Real Housewives of Potomac star makes a sudden shock exit just before Season 10 filming begins
With filming about to commence on Season 10 of Real Housewives of Potomac, one of the stars will not be returning. This reality star has been a main cast member since Season 6, though she announced on Instagram Monday that she will not only be leaving the show, but leaving the Beltway as well. Her announcement revealed that she and her family will be relocating to Atlanta, though she did not indicate that she will join the Real Housewives of Atlanta. Season 9 wrapped up last month with a three-part reunion special that revealed embattled star Karen Huger was entering a rehab progra m following her DUI conviction. Bravo has yet to announce any new cast members, with Huger sentenced to two years in jail for her fourth DUI offense. Who is this mystery Housewife? It's none other than Mia Thornton, who announced her franchise exit Monday on Instagram. 'With every new season comes a new beginning and I have some news to share. My family and I have made the decision to relocate to Atlanta, and with that, I will not be returning to The Real Housewives of Potomac next season,' she said. 'The past four seasons have been an unforgettable journey one filled with growth, lessons, and so many incredible memories,' she added. 'I want to thank Truly Original, Bravo, NBCUniversal, and Andy Cohen for believing in me and giving me the space to share my story,' Mia continued. She also thanked her fellow castmates, 'for the laughs, the lessons, and the unforgettable moments.' 'And to the amazing fans, your love and support has meant everything to me. I'll always carry that with me,' she stated. 'This next chapter is already full of exciting opportunities, and I can't wait to take you all along for the ride. Big things are coming…' she teased. 'I don't just make headlines — I make History. Atlanta, brace yourself. The empire has expanded,' she concluded. Thornton was last seen on the Season 9 reunion when she stormed out after Gizelle Bryant called her a bad mother. 'The past four seasons have been an unforgettable journey one filled with growth, lessons, and so many incredible memories,' she added. Bryant bashed Thornton for subjecting her seven-year-old daughter Julianna to a DNA test to prove whether she was fathered by boyfriend Incognito a.k.a. Inc or her estranged husband Gordon Thornton. 'And I stand by that. No woman, no mother, would put their child on a platform to discuss their paternity. No mother would do that. No mother!" Bryant said of Thornton's actions. Thornton stormed off the stage after Bryant brought up her children, screaming, 'Not my kids!' in what will seemingly be her last appearance on the Bravo franchise. 'I should have never put myself in the position to have anybody question my motherhood,' Mia told a producer before changing and leaving the reunion.

RHOP's Karen Huger Faces Prison Setback After Work Release Request
It's hard to believe that is sitting in a jail cell right now, but actions have consequences. Earlier this year, the former grande dame of was sentenced to 12 months behind bars for her role in a drunk driving accident. According to new court records, Karen recently applied for a work-release program. If approved, she would have been removed from the Montgomery County Jail and transferred to a much nicer rehabilitation center. Unfortunately for Karen, a judge just denied her request. The Washington Post reported on all of the details regarding Karen's failed attempt at a work release. Their legal experts explained that inmates become eligible for work release within 12 months of their release. Since Karen's sentence is relatively short, she basically filed for a work release as soon as she got into her orange jumpsuit. Of course, the idea of a 'work release' for Karen makes it sound like she's trying to get back in front of the Bravo cameras. However, that's not the case. She wasn't trying to make a bid for RHOP Season 10. This work release program requires inmates to kick off each day by applying for jobs. Those roles have to meet specific criteria. The jobs have to be within walking distance or accessible via public transportation. Plus, they have to be in an alcohol-free environment and not involve being filmed. Obviously, that would completely rule out working on Housewives. Per the court documents, Karen was hoping to spend the time in the work-release center focusing on her treatment and engaging in an outpatient rehabilitation program. Upon reviewing the request, Judge Terrence McGann denied the request, which means Karen will stay behind bars in a traditional jail environment. Although this wasn't the news Karen and her lawyer hoped for, it's not all bad news for Karen. She has supposedly been on her best behavior since her sentence, they predict she'll be released in November 2025, just a few months earlier than anticipated. The Real Housewives of Potomac is streaming on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland. TELL US – ARE YOU SURPRISED THAT KAREN'S WORK RELEASE GOT DENIED? DO YOU HAVE ANY WORDS OF SUPPORT FOR KAREN AND HER FAMILY? The post RHOP's Karen Huger Faces Prison Setback After Work Release Request appeared first on Reality Tea.
