[S1: E7]: The Little Boutique of Horrors
Previously on The Real Housewives of Beverly Beach…
The girls left the Coachella trip earlier after Stefania left. Olivia and Ren talked to Stefania after the trip where she expressed she was done with Yvonne. At Yvonne’s eventful dinner party, Yvonne confronted Richard about his marriage to Lauren. Stefania stopped filming with the group.
**After Yvonne’s Dinner in the Production DM**
Production: Stefania has decided to leave and stop filming with the group.
@TheOliviaJBlake: How odd.
@FyeRoleplay [Yvonne]: How trashy.
@RenRose_BB: Why do we keep pushing all these new girls away?
@TheOliviaJBlake: I dont think it’s anything we did. She didn’t seem to understand that we were filming a scene at the house after we went to Coachella. FYE and I tried to explain it to her but she took it the wrong way and refused to film with FYE.
@RenRose_BB: Damn, it wasn’t that serious. She should have stayed.
“I’m really upset Stefania left. I know the other girls gave her alot of shit but she was cool. I liked that she marched to the beat of her own drum but this is a tough group.” She frowns
“I hope Stefania can find happiness being a call girl down in San Diego. She was renting a tiny home in Beverly Beach anyways. She doesn’t have the personality or the income to be in this town.”
A beautiful montage of Beverly Beach is shown. The camera zooms over the town before zooming in on an Indian restaurant. The shot switches inside to Olivia sitting alone at a table, waiting.
“This afternoon Brandon and I are going on a date to my favorite Indian cuisine in Beverly Beach. It will be good to have some one on one time with him.”
A tall and handsome Brandon walks in, the camera catches him smiling as he sees Olivia. She gets up and hugs him.
Brandon: “Babe, you look wonderful.”
Olivia: “Thanks sweetie.”
The camera gives a wide shot of the two seated at the table.
Brandon: “It feels like you’re always so busy. Going on trips, your agency, seeing your girlfriends…I don’t see you enough.”
The camera pans to only Olivia as she raises an eyebrow and opens up her napkin.
Olivia: “Really? I feel like I’m around enough.”
Brandon: “We haven’t seen each other in almost 2 weeks. I missed you.” He reaches across the table and squeezes her hand.
“Brandon and I have a good relationship; but sometimes I feel like he’s more invested in it than I am. I have fun with Brandon, I do! I just have other things going on and love isn’t my priority especially since my divorce.”
Olivia: “I’m sorry. I’ll make more of an effort for us.”
Brandon: “That’s all I ask for, beautiful. Now let’s get you that chicken tikka.”
Olivia: “Yes, please.” She giggles and the scene ends.
The camera is pointed to the ground and shows a bunch or cord and the camera man’s feet. Richard’s voice is heard.
Production came to Lauren’s house to film a scene…
Richard: “Alright babe, I’m going to go take a shower.” His feet are heard going up the stairs.
The camera angles up to show Lauren who is getting her mic pack put on by some of the staff.
Cameraman: “Alright Lauren, we are just going to get some shots of you doing household stuff, then after Richard is done with his shower have him come down and we can film a scene with you two.”
The camera shows Lauren nods as she picks up Richard’s gym bag from the floor and she walks towards the laundry room, the cameras follow.
She starts loading his dirty gym clothes into the laundry, the bag can be heard vibrating.
Lauren: “Oh…Richard left his phone in here.” She mumbles and takes it out of the bag. The camera stays on her as she pauses, with the phone in her hand seeming to read something on the screen. She unlocks the phone.
The camera gets an angle of Lauren holding the phone, she is on Richard’s text messages. The name of the person Richard was texting is blurred out. From the angle, the camera shows multiple heart emojis, long text messages, and blurred photos from a woman in Richard’s phone. Lauren quickly locks the phone screen and looks at the cameras and nervously laughs. She finishes loading the laundry.
Lauren: “I’m going to go see if Richard is almost done with his shower…”
The next scene is Lauren in her confessional interview. She sits in the chair and sips from a bottle of water while a makeup artist touches her up.
Producer: “Alright Lauren…What were those texts you found on Richards phone the other day when we were filming at your house.”
Lauren looks visibly uncomfortable as she shifts in her seat.
Lauren: “I know what it looks like…and it’s really hard for me to see those texts but I know where my husband and I stand. Which is a lot better than most women I know. These side girls come and go. Being Mrs. Barnes isn’t as easy as you would think.” She blinks as tears fill her eyes, she gives the camera a weak smile. She gently blotches her tears with a kleenex.
Lauren: “Sorry.”
The scene ends.
The camera follows Olivia & Lauren as they walk into a nice outdoor restaurant. They are seated by a waiter.
Olivia: “Can I get a mimosa?”
Lauren: “I’ll just have a mimosa and a water for now. We are waiting on two others.” The waiter nods and walks away from the table.
Olivia: “So are you excited for your birthday?”
Lauren: “Yes! I can’t wait. I hope the other girls can make the trip.”
“I’ve been feeling a little blue lately. My birthday is coming up and I really want to just have a fun time and get away from it all. I’m inviting all the girls to Mexico for one day and one night. I’m going to be chartering a private jet, we have rooms at a spa, I’m so excited. I’m charging it all to Richard’s card…His birthday gift to me.” She smirks.
The camera follows Yvonne and Ren as they walk in together. They greet the other girls.
Ren: “Me and Yvonne pulled in at the same exact time! It’s like the stars are aligning today.” They all laugh.
The waiter comes back and brings the ladies their drinks, Ren and Yvonne are shown ordering.
Yvonne: “So how is everyone. I don’t believe we’ve all been together since my dinner the other night.”
Ren groans.
Ren: “Yeah…that was…something.”
The camera pans to Lauren who is quietly sipping her drink at her seat and then to Yvonne.
Yvonne: “I thought it was somewhat productive. It cleared the air a little.”
“Do I have any regrets about calling out Lauren and Richard’s marriage? Not at all.”
Olivia shrugs.
Olivia: “I guess you could say that…”
Lauren: “Anyways girls, the reason why I invited you here is because as you know my birthday is coming up this weekend… I want to invite all you ladies to Mexico for a fun little day trip! We’ll be taking a private jet, it’ll be really fun.” Olivia smiles and Ren claps.
Ren: “Yes! I need a break. It’ll be right after my store opening too!”
Yvonne: “I think I can make that work in my schedule.”
All the girls cheer and Olivia can be heard saying “Viva La Mexico!” as the camera zooms out on an aerial view of the table as the scene ends.
A wide angle of Ren’s store front ‘REN’ is shown. Paparazzi are shown taking pictures of the guests. The camera focuses on Olivia who is already at the photowall, getting pictures taken of her. The camera then switches to a shot of Yvonne getting out of the back of a black SUV and entering the store.
Yvonne: “Olivia darling, you looks fabulous.”
The camera goes to Olivia who turns around to face Yvonne.
Olivia: “Thank you, honey. You are looking spectacular in that light blue! You look 10 years younger, babe.” Olivia leaves the photowall and walks with Yvonne to the main area and the pair take a seat.
Yvonne: “So have you talked to Ren since Lauren invited us to Mexico? What is the point of the party? Is she going to have an ice sculpture of Drake?”
Olivia laughs.
Olivia: “I honestly haven’t talked to Ren since then! I mean I came here because I had already gotten the evite. Maybe Drake will make an appearance and perform…or even better, promote for her Instagram.”
“Neither of those things are happening. He f*cked, ducked, and then ran into her at Coachella… and f*cked again.”
The camera follows Yvonne and Olivia as the walk around the venue looking for Ren. Passersby can be heard asking where Ren is.
“Is she late for her own event? Poor business etiquette.”
Olivia: “I’m going to text her.”
The camera zooms in on her phone as she texts Ren asking where she is. The camera pans to Yvonne who has her arms crossed.
Yvonne: “I’m going to leave if she doesn’t show up to her own shindig.”
Lauren is shown walking in. She walks over to the girls and mingles with them. At the bottom of the screen it says [45 Minutes Past Starting Time]. Suspenseful music plays as a Bentley pulls up to the valet, Ren gets out. She looks frazzled and hurries into the building.
“Today has been…a sh*tshow. A few hours before the opening of ‘REN’, I told Aaron about my miscarriage. He got very upset with me for hiding it from him.” She dabs tears away from her eyes as she solemnly looks down. “I’m nervous he won’t come tonight. I’m just trying to be strong for the crowd.”
Ren walks in and gives many of the guests hugs, apologizing for being late. The camera follows Lauren as she walks over to Ren.
Lauren: “Hey girl. Everything looks great, how’s it going?”
The camera zooms in on Ren as she faintly smiles.
Ren: “Thank you Lauren. I’m trying, it’s been a crazy day.” She hugs a friend as she passes by and grabs a champagne off of one of the waiter’s serving trays. Olivia and Yvonne walk over to Lauren and Ren.
Olivia: “Hello honeys!”
Yvonne: “I see you all are looking really good tonight.”
Lauren scans the room and turns towards Ren.
Lauren: “Is Aaron coming tonight?”
Yvonne: “Why wouldn’t he be?” She looks at Ren.
The camera pans to Ren as she unlocks her phone. Texts are seen asking when he will be there with no response on his end. She quickly locks her phone and puts it back in her clutch.
Ren: “Honestly guys, Aaron isn’t feeling well so I don’t think he’s coming tonight.” She lets out a nervous laugh. “But we’re going to have a great night. ‘REN’ is my brainchild, I’m so excited you all could make it.” The camera focuses on her as she tears up. “I’m so happy. Excuse me, I’m going to go get ready to say my speech.” She hugs all the ladies and heads to the main stage area.
“Aaron hasn’t ‘felt well’ in a couple of months.” She does air quotes.
Lauren: “Well, I’m going to grab another drink before the speech starts.” Yvonne and Olivia nods, they sit down and Lauren heads to the bar.
“I’ve been here for over an hour and there’s no such speech, let’s get this show on the road!” She taps her watch.
The camera follows Ren as she takes the microphone and then walks on stage. The room gets silent. A shot of Yvonne and Olivia sitting down is show.
Ren: “I want to thank everyone for being here tonight. Unfortunately, my amazing husband couldn’t make it because he was sick so…” She throws her hands up. “He’s here in spirit. What can I say.” Multiple shots of a silent and confused crowd are shown. The camera shows Yvonne, Olivia, and Lauren sitting in there section. Yvonne has her eyebrow raises while Olivia and Lauren are looking at the ground. “But I hope you guys enjoy.” People clap and cheer.
Cameras follow Ren as she rushes to the restroom after walking off stage, she can be heard sniffling. Before she enters the restroom she turns around with tears in her eyes, she shoves the camera.
Ren: “F*ck off!” She enters the bathroom as the cameras stay outside and film the door.
The shot then switches back to the other ladies. Yvonne, Olivia, and Lauren all get up.
Yvonne: “That was…a speech.”
Lauren and Olivia are seen looking around, looking a bit concerned.
Lauren: “Where’d Ren go? Should we check the bathroom?”
Olivia: “Yes! She seems upset. Yvonne, do you want to come with?”
Yvonne: “I am actually going to leave now. I listened to her speech and supported her, now I have a bed to get back to.”
“I don’t know what kind of speech that was but it definitely wasn’t worth the two hour wait. I’ll be leaving now.”
The camera shows Yvonne leaving as the other girls push past the camera standing in front of the bathroom. The girl’s mics can still be picked up.
Olivia: “Ren, what’s going on?”
Ren can be heard sobbing and sniffling.
Ren: “I think Aaron wants a divorce because I don’t want to have a baby.”
Olivia: “I’m so sorry, divorce is so hard. If you aren’t ready to have a baby and he is, you both have to make the decision to budge or end things. You all are at an impasse.”
Shots of Ren’s party guests are shown outside in the boutique, some can be heard asking once again where Ren is.
Lauren: “Ren, the speech was a little out there. You made a splash, now lets reel it in. You need to pull it together tonight. You are a strong and intelligent business woman and this is YOUR event.”
Ren can be heard crying as the episode ends.
Next Time on The Real Housewives of Beverly Beach…
The ladies head south of the border for Lauren’s birthday. Not is all fun in the sun when the ladies seriously question Ren’s marriage amongst themselves. Ren distances herself from the group, bonding Yvonne, Lauren, and Olivia.
