Bachelor Paternity Scandal: Laura Owens Sentencing Part 1
Legal team, on the docket this week is a case we’ve covered multiple times and even had one of the victims, ‘Bachelor’ star Clayton Echard, on our show to tell his story. We are diving into the sentencing hearing of Laura Owens that took place just last week. Last we left off, Laura was facing 14 felony charges including fraud, forgery, evidence tampering, identity theft and theft by extortion arising from prosecutor’s allegations that she fabricated pregnancies involving two different men, Clayton Echard and Greg Gillespie. Now that her sentencing hearing is complete, we’re going over the arguments made by both sides, Laura’s parents’ involvement, and how Laura abused the legal system and used it as a weapon to manipulate her victims. We're diving in to every person who testified at the hearing giving our unfiltered thoughts. There is a lot to cover here, so part 2 will be coming next week. What’s on the docket? Laura's felony charges and recap of her crimes Jan and Ronn’s bankruptcy and GoFundMe for Ronn’s Parkinson’s disease medical bills Jan and Ronn’s creditors meeting and the importance of the description in the GoFundMe Laura’s plea deal, settlement conference, and continued negotiations What Laura pleaded guilty to Attorney Nicole Northup’s presentation about Greg Gillespie The legal back and forth between Laura Owens and Greg Gillespie Ed Leiter’s presentation about Clayton Echard Our thoughts on why Laura targeted Clayton Clayton Echard’s address to the court Stormy Mitchell’s victim impact letter Greg Gillespie’s victim impact statement Detective Beau’s response to Laura’s counsel’s mitigation in the investigation following Judge Mata’s referral Laura’s domestic violence protective order against Mike Maraccini The state’s requested sentencing for Laura Access additional content and our Patreon here: ⁠https://linktr.ee/thebravodocket The Bravo Docket podcast, the statements we make whether in our own media or elsewhere, and any content we post are for entertainment purposes only and do not provide legal advice.

Legal team, we are ending our coverage on the ladies from the Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip here. On the docket this week is Real Housewives of New York icon Luann de Lesseps featuring a recap of an earlier episode we did about her arrest (linked below), as well as the lawsuits she faced from her ex-husband, Alexandre, and her two children, Victoria and Noel, which she found out about through the press and then proceeded to blame her relapse on.

And we also discuss how her arresting officer ended up getting charged himself for crimes that were a complete failure of our justice system. Listen until the end to hear us answer some more of your questions from our last Q&A — what made us become lawyers? Are we going to Bravo Fan Fest? And, how do we manage work/life balance?

Can’t Keep It Up in Court: RHUGT: Porsha Williams v. Simon Defamation Lawsuit
Legal team, we are continuing our series on the Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip ladies and also closing out our discourse on Porsha Williams, RHOA star, and her legal cases. If you haven’t listened to last week’s episode, we go through her divorces from both Kordell Stewart and Simon Guobadia. On the docket this week is Porsha’s defamation lawsuit that Simon filed against her, which overlaps with the divorce timeline. In July 2024, Porsha posted four slides on her Instagram stories, to her 7.7 million followers at the time, sharing information on erectile dysfunction with the hashtag #menshealthawareness only months after her and Simon filed for divorce. Even though Simon was not named in the posts, blogs took it and ran with it, as well as the public, and later that year, Simon filed a federal complaint against Porsha asserting defamation per say, infliction of emotional distress, and invasion of privacy. We’re diving into Simon’s complaint, Porsha’s counter-arguments, and where this lawsuit currently stands. What’s on the docket? Porsha and Simon’s traditional Nigerian Edo native custom ceremony Simon’s federal defamation complaint against Porsha Simon’s detainment and deportation Our conflicting opinions on whether or not Simon had a right to file this lawsuit What is needed to prove defamation Porsha’s motion to dismiss, Simon’s amended complaint, and Porsha’s renewed motion to dismiss Truth is an absolute defense and false statement of fact arguments Porsha’s discovery requests Porsha’s motion to compel discovery and Simon’s objections False light invasion of privacy claim What is a transactional attorney The Court's final order Importance of staying in your lane as a lawyer Access additional content and our Patreon here: ⁠https://linktr.ee/thebravodocket The Bravo Docket podcast, the statements we make whether in our own media or elsewhere, and any content we post are for entertainment purposes only and do not provide legal advice.

RHUGT: Porsha Williams’ Divorces From Kordell and Simon
Legal team, we have another episode in our series covering the legal issues of the real housewives on Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th. On the docket this week is Porsha Williams, star of Real Housewives of Atlanta, and her various lawsuits involving her ex-husbands. As a housewife cast member, Porsha has really grown, and although her love life is in the best place it’s ever been right now, her legal issues from her past relationships with former NFL player Kordell Stewart and entrepreneur Simon Guobadia are far from sweet. From contentious divorces to deportation issues, to having to ask the Georgia court to enforce her prenup — Porsha has been through the wringer with these men. Once a trad wife learns from one irretrievably broken marriage, she’ll make sure there’s a favorable prenup in the next one! What’s on the docket? Porsha’s growth on the Real Housewives Background of Porsha’s marriage with former NFL player Kordell Stewart Kordell’s divorce petition and confidentiality agreement What Porsha got to keep in the divorce with Kordell per the settlement Background on Simon Guobadia Messy beginning to Simon and Porsha’s relationship with Falynn Highlights from Porsha’s prenup with Simon Porsha’s divorce petition Simon’s counter claim and allegations agains Porsha Judge’s discovery verdict and final order on Simon and Porsha’s prenup Statement of facts from Porsha’s filed motion to enforce the prenup The Scherer Test (Georgia Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreements) Simon’s immigration issues and ICE detention Access additional content and our Patreon here: ⁠https://linktr.ee/thebravodocket The Bravo Docket podcast, the statements we make whether in our own media or elsewhere, and any content we post are for entertainment purposes only and do not provide legal advice.

Legal team, Cesie is here to continue our Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip series on behalf of the show’s ‘Roaring 20th’ special. On the docket this week, Cesie is giving updates on both Vicki Gunvalson and Lisa Barlow’s legal issues. We’ve covered all of these before (prior episodes linked below), but more has unfolded in both housewives’ cases. Cesie breaks down what happened between Vicki’s company, Coto Insurance, and plaintiff, one of her clients. Is this a case of bad financial consulting, or even elder abuse? Plus Vicki is now trying to bring her OWN claims against her client! Then Cesie dives into Lisa’s legal trouble with her brand Vida Tequila. In Lisa’s Watch What Happens Live appearance and at the Dismissed Lunch, she stated that all of the legal cases against her had been dismissed, but in doing some late-night digging, Cesie figured out that there might be more to the story. Salt Lake City Roundup Part 2: Vida Tequila on the Rocks Whoop It Up... in Court? What’s on the docket? Cesie’s love for jury selection What is Vicki Gunvalson’s business The lawsuit against Coto Insurance in Orange County Superior Court What is financial elder abuse Vicki’s defense against the claims Vicki’s claims against Gary Vyneman Recap of Lisa and Vida Tequila’s financial disputes What a dismissal indicates, and what it does not Lisa v.

Below Deck Star Wanted: Nathan Gallagher
TRIGGER WARNING: Domestic violence. Resources linked below. Legal team, Angela is solo today and taking a detour from the Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip lawsuit and legal issues coverage to talk about Below Deck. There has been a lot going on this season of Below Deck Mediterranean regarding the former bosun Nathan Gallagher and what is unraveling in real time for his legal partner Gael Cameron. While being in an active storyline on television with new episodes coming out weekly, Nathan Gallagher is dodging international arrest warrants for his domestic violence offenses. Angela discusses maritime issues, mechanics of a plea in absentia, and some very famous cases of people trying to use yachts to escape paying taxes, felony charges, and international crimes, including Scientologist founder L. Ron Hubbard and former White House Chief Strategist, Steve Bannon. Despite Nathan Gallagher’s criminal offenses taking place before filming Season 11 of Below Deck, Angela shares why she doesn’t think it’s production’s fault for missing this information in his background check. But since this information has come to light, Bravo has terminated Nathan, and Angela explains why it’s only a matter of time before he is caught. What’s on the docket? Overview of Season of 11 Below Deck Med Nathan Gallagher’s criminal charges and his active bench warrant Nathan Gallagher and Gael Cameron’s relationship timeline Origin of Boxing Day Nathan and Gael’s violent DV dispute on Boxing Day in Sydney, Australia that led to his arrest The penalties for Nathan’s criminal charges What Nathan claimed happened to arresting officers Criminal and legal data that tracks domestic homicide December 27, 2025 risk profile for Nathan’s bail What happened on Nathan’s trial day (September 1st, 2026) The Sixth Amendment and what that means for criminal procedures in the U.S. Crosby v. United States The statutory philosophy New South Wales criminal law operates on Nathan’s August 7th, 2022 altercation in Dungloe, Ireland and his active bench warrant there Why Angela doesn’t think this is Below Deck production’s fault Commercial yachts strict maritime security protocols What deckhands have to have to get their visas to work on international waters Angela’s thoughts on why Bravo didn’t cut Nathan out of this season The Immigration and Nationality Act Nuances of international extradition Examples of when Below Deck cast members have been edited out of the show Famous cases where people have gotten caught in International waters (L.

200 Episodes: Answering Your Bravo Questions
Legal team, in honor of our 200th episode, we thought it would be fun to answer your questions (from Instagram and Patreon) and give you our honest, unfiltered thoughts. We entertain some Bravo hypotheticals—which housewife would we love to represent in court? If we could subpoena the unedited footage from any single Bravo event, what would we choose and what would we hope it proves? Which housewives would we send to jail (for non criminal reasons)? And answer juicy questions like have we ever had a housewife reach out and be angry at our coverage? Who sent us a cease and desist letter? What topics do we stray away from? How do we feel about Erika now? And we also give Bravo some ideas on how they could partner with us in their content. Thank you all for your questions! We’ll do a part 2 soon! What’s on the docket? How we started the podcast Personal updates since starting the podcast The cases we wish we could have been involved in Our ideal housewife clients What unedited footage we would subpoena from a Bravo event The non Bravo cases we would have loved to cover What case outcome we both disagree with Our continued frustrations with Erika The biggest mistake that Bravo housewives make The most shocking story we’ve covered The housewives we’d love to send to jail Who has reached out to us and been angry at our coverage The bravo celeb we’re most cautious about speaking on because they’re litigious Topics we stray away from What our primary goal is for the podcast and our future plans Access additional content and our Patreon here: https://linktr.ee/thebravodocket The Bravo Docket podcast, the statements we make whether in our own media or elsewhere, and any content we post are for entertainment purposes only and do not provide legal advice.

RHUGT: Kyle, Mauricio, and Jesse Lally
Legal team, we are continuing on in our Ultimate Girls Trip Roaring 20th series where we cover the various legal issues that each of the housewives involved in this show have been tied to. On the docket this week, we are moving from Teresa to Kyle…but really, Mauricio. Are they getting divorced or not? We give you guys an update on the case regarding the Sweetwater property, which then turned into this other case where there was a qui tam action that was filed (we’ll explain what that is). For our fans of The Valley, we get into the loan Michelle accussed Jesse of taking out and spending fraudulently. We break down what small business loans are used for, and speculate about what could happen to Jesse if the government found out he used his Economic Injury Disaster Loan to pay for personal, luxury expenses. We also touch on the Kim and Kyle eviction, and why we hate that photo being circulated right now. Leave Kim alone! What’s on the docket? Jesse Lally’s small business loan Michelle’s allegations against Jesse Our thoughts on The Valley What could happen if you spend the loan on personal expenses A recap of Mauricio's real estate lawsuit The PPP qui tam action against Mauricio and The Agency Our thoughts on why Kyle and Mauricio aren’t getting divorced Recap and update on the Kyle and Kim Richard’s eviction Access additional content and our Patreon here: ⁠https://linktr.ee/thebravodocket The Bravo Docket podcast, the statements we make whether in our own media or elsewhere, and any content we post are for entertainment purposes only and do not provide legal advice.

RHUGT: Teresa Giudice Is Rewriting History
Legal team, on the docket this week we’re revisiting one of our favorite cases…because she just can’t stop saying that she did nothing wrong. Conspiracy to obtain mortgage loans through fraud and misrepresentations, bankruptcy fraud through concealment of assets and false declarations, and failure to file income taxes…of course, we are talking about Teresa Giudice, former cast member of Real Housewives of New Jersey and current cast member of Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip. This episode is the first part of a series we’re starting in conjunction with the RHUGT Roaring 20th. Bankruptcy, loan allegations, indictments, guilty plea sentencing, prison, Joe’s deportation…we’ve covered it all before. This will not be as in-depth as our previous episodes on Teresa, but we’ll be laying out the facts as we respond to what she’s been saying to the press (and on RHUGT), and reminding you of how it all went down back in 2014. We will not let her rewrite history and spin this false narrative that she was “made an example.” Previous episodes on Teresa linked below! Teresa & Joe Giudice: Part I Teresa & Joe Giudice: Part 2 Teresa & Joe Giudice: Part 3 What’s on the docket? Angela’s respect for Teresa Cesie’s frustrations towards Teresa Background of Teresa’s crimes Teresa’s recent press statements The difference between jail and prison Teresa and Joe's discrepancies in their bankruptcy filings Teresa’s malpractice claim against bankruptcy attorney The importance of clients telling their attorney the truth Teresa’s genuine defense theory Details of the indictment What happens in a sentencing procedure Pronouncement of the sentence Gia Giudice's comments about her dad’s deportation on Next Gen NYC Why Joe was deported Our thoughts on Trump pardoning the Chrisleys and not Teresa and Joe Access additional content and our Patreon here: https://linktr.ee/thebravodocket The Bravo Docket podcast, the statements we make whether in our own media or elsewhere, and any content we post are for entertainment purposes only and do not provide legal advice.

The Chrisleys' Malpractice Lawsuit Against Former Defense Attorneys
Legal team, it’s been a little over a year since our last series on Todd and Julie Chrisley. In our previous episodes on the Chrisleys, we gave a detailed timeline on how everything unfolded, including how they became reality TV stars in the first place. Those episodes will be linked below. But in summary, the Chrisleys conspired with their former business partner to defraud Atlanta area community banks out of more than $30 million in personal loans, and they were fully convicted in a jury trial in 2023. In 2025, Todd and Julie were granted full executive pardons releasing them from federal custody. On the docket this week, we are discussing the federal malpractice lawsuit they filed this past June against their former defense attorneys, Balch & Bingham LLP and Chris Anulewicz. Todd and Julie are alleging that these lawyers failed to provide competent legal representation during their federal jury trial. We go through their complaint, what they are arguing, and point out the flaws in their case, including the use of the fruit of the poisonous tree doctrine related to the documents used as evidence to convict them. Chrisley Didn't Know Best The Chrisley's Sentencing Part I The Chrisley's Sentencing Part II The Chrisley Trial Files: What the Headlines Missed The Chrisley Trial Files: What the Headlines Missed (Part 2) What’s on the docket? Our previous episodes on the Chrisleys What is a loan out company Recap of federal jury trial and what they were charged with Julie’s “scrapbooking” fraud Mark Braddock’s role as an informant Trial testimony updates on members of the Chrisley family (Nanny Faye, Lindsie, Kyle) Thoughts on Teresa Giudice's new interviews The Chrisleys v.
