Kristen Taekman

The Real Housewives of New York City is about to undergo a really big change.

Again.

We aren’t sure if Tori Spelling is fit to give marital advice, but The Real Housewives of New York City’s Kristen Taekman needs all the help she can get.

On part two of The Real Housewives of New York City reunion last night, we were treated to something we haven't actually experienced in awhile:

A heavy dose of unabashed, unfiltered Bethenny.

Josh Taekman has been outed.

The husband of Real Housewives of New York star Kristen Taekman was forced to admit Monday night that he had an account with Ashley Madison, the infamous - and now infamously compromised - website that helps spouses cheat on their significant others.

The Real Housewives of New York City Season 7 Episode 20, or part one of the reunion special, was as interesting as any installment this year.

Not a very high bar to eclipse, no.

Tuesday on The Real Housewives of New York City, Bethenny and Ramona's feud continued, while the latter hosted her New Beginnings party.

Would anyone truly begin anew, though?

The last two weeks of The Real Housewives of New York City have been suspiciously cordial and sentimental. Would last night be any different?

Tuesday night on The Real Housewives of New York City, tension between Ramona and Bethenny was still annoying, but the episode showed a different side of the ladies from The Big Apple.

What did we learn from this latest installment?

Last night on The Real Housewives of New York City Season 7 Episode 15, some of the ladies' late night antics were called into question.

Below, we recap that and everything else that went down ...

Tuesday night on The Real Housewives of New York City Season 7 Episode 14, Ramona's antics put quite a damper on the ladies' night out.

Raise your hand if you're surprised. Anyone?

Last night on The Real Housewives of New York City Season 7 Episode 13 ...

Good times all around. Let's recap ...

Last night on The Real Housewives of New York City Season 7 Episode 12, Kristen and Bethenny argued again as their feud grew even more hated.

Meanwhile, new accusations about Sonja threatened to ruin the Turks & Caicos trip. What were they, and what else went down in the tropics?

What makes the ladies of The Real Housewives franchise infuriating entertaining is that there is a disconnect between the cast members' lives and real life.

Their mega-millions and fickle friendships so greatly differ from the norm that millions of people watch them like they are gorillas in a zoo. 

Last night on The Real Housewives of New York City, LuAnn invited the ladies (term used loosely) to a photo shoot, where Kristen confronted Bethenny.

Again.

Birthday drama is par for the course on Bravo, and Tuesday's The Real Housewives of New York City Season 7 Episode 10 was certainly no exception.

Bethenny and Heather got into a mega-screaming match in the middle of Dorinda's celebration. Let's recap how we got there and how it played out ...

Tuesday on the The Real Housewives of New York City Season 7 Episode 9, a comment riled up Dorinda during her birthday trip to the Berkshires.

Meanwhile, a surprise visitor showed up on said trip.

Tuesday on The Real Housewives of New York City Season 7 Episode 8, Carole runs for the board of her NYC building, Bethenny gets emotional, and the ladies fight at a caviar dinner celebration.

We'd love to tell you that by the end of the episode the ladies resolve their problems.  But who would we be fooling?

"Oh, my God, I don't fit in. I've been to Upper East Side parties before. Some women look great, and some have gone over the top. It looks like the Star Wars bar."

The Real Housewives of New York City Season 7 Episode 6 marked Ramona's first birthday without Mario, so it was time for quiet reflection.

Just kidding! The ladies took a limo to Atlantic City to help her celebrate!

Tuesday on The Real Housewives of New York City Season 7 Episode 5, Bethenny sat down with Sonja to work through their issues, free of drama.

Yeah, right.

Last season, viewers had to bear witness to Kristen Taekman’s marriage on The Real Housewives of New York City.  In disgust, they watched her patriarch husband, Josh, ignore his wife and children and often belittle Kristen.

On the season premiere, Kristen said her marriage is improving--even though Josh wouldn't run the bath for their kid.

It was Bethenny's birthday on The Real Housewives of New York City Season 7 Episode 4, which meant an excuse for her to talk about herself a lot.

It also gave Carole and LuAnn an excuse to show up with much younger dates, teaching viewers "The Art of Being a Cougar" ... or something like that.

Tuesday on The Real Housewives of New York City Season 7 Episode 3, Ramona and Bethenny held dueling brunches, putting their co-stars in a tough spot.

The ladies venture from Manhattan to the Hamptons on The Real Housewives of New York City Season 7 Episode 2 for a weekend of fun and nostalgia.

That and absolutely no drama whatsoever ... yeah, right. Did we fool you!?
