ā€œWe donā€™t say that he hits you. Because we donā€™t say that he broke your jaw or beat you up and he hits you. We donā€™t say that, but now weā€™ve said it,ā€ Camille warns Taylor. ā€œYou need to be honest because thatā€™s not cool.ā€

The next day, Camille continuously texts Taylor in hopes of providing a reasonable apology, but Taylor was not going to give in that easily. Adrienne Maloof and Kyle Richards understand how Taylor is feeling, but does not think Camille should feel as if she was in the wrong.

Camille says, ā€œI was just trying to be a friend and when you hear something like that you just want to reach out and help themā€¦Itā€™s almost like the elephant in the room that we canā€™t talk about.ā€

Taylor is also busy planning her daughter Kennedyā€™s fifth ā€œcounty fairā€ themed birthday party. American Idol alum Ace Young wrote and performed a special song for Kennedyā€™s birthday, which Taylor is ecstatic to witness.

Meanwhile, Lisa skips out on Kennedyā€™s birthday party in order to help plan her daughter Pandora Vanderpumpā€˜s bachelorette party and wedding. The bachelorette party is being hosted at Planet Hollywood ā€“ā€“ an idea that is bound to cause some drama with Adrienne Maloof, whose family is affiliated with top competitor Palms Resort and Casino.

Back at Kennedyā€™s birthday party, all the housewives arrive and a potential feud arises when Brandi Glanville decides this would be the perfect time to clear the air with Kim Richards. Luckily, the housewives decide against an all-out brawl at the birthday party and instead Kim refuses to apologize to Brandi. ā€œThe way she spoke to me was disgusting and I have no desire to apologize,ā€ she says.

The episode concludes with the ever-present subject of Taylor and Russellā€™s rocky marriage. Kyle says, ā€œI donā€™t know what to think of Taylor and Russellā€™s marriage. Theyā€™re happy, theyā€™re not happy, thereā€™s trouble, thereā€™s not troubleā€¦heā€™s more concerned about everybody seeing him as father of the year.ā€

Taylor settles the issue in a testimonial at the conclusion of the episode. ā€œRussell and I have a difficult marriageā€¦Finding real happiness with another person takes a lot of work,ā€ she says.

With the more recent events surrounding the housewives, this is a chilling end to the serious subject of this episode. What did you think of the latest episode of RHOBH, HollywoodLifers?
