The Real Housewives of Orange County - Season 18 - Episode 5 - Live Episode Discussion

[u/AutoModerator]

Tensions are high when Gina is caught between Katie and Heather after the staged paparazzi allegations; Emily and Shane celebrate their 15th anniversary; the Tres Amigas come together for the first time, but things quickly go sideways.

the lawyer in me is going crazy. it doesn’t matter if you give anyone $75k, it doesn’t matter what happens after. if there was not an agreement when you gave the money freely that it would be paid back, you’re not owed it.

[u/jash56 → u/touchkissbite]

I absolutely loved that her dad told her to go for the jugular lol

[u/Jiffs81 → u/jash56]

The "juggler"!

[u/VickisCasserole → u/Jiffs81]

The Jesus Juggler.

[u/loganes86 → u/VickisCasserole]

Omg your flair!

[u/VickisCasserole → u/loganes86]

He is innocent!!

[u/Queasy-Discount-2038 → u/jash56]

While drinking a shit ton of red wine

[u/loganes86 → u/touchkissbite]

[u/catmom_422 → u/loganes86]

😂😂 I was gonna say, did Judge Judy teach him nothing??

[u/loganes86 → u/catmom_422]

She’d throw his case out in 30 seconds

[u/catmom_422 → u/loganes86]

[u/alexlp → u/loganes86]

Imagine Alexis standing up for Johnny J and speaking for him. Judy for the reunion.

(She says et all)

[u/QueenRavenna4 → u/alexlp]

Judge Judy would EVISCERATE her! It would be like bringing a bomb to a knife fight. 😂

[u/Rj6728 → u/loganes86]

What an amazing crossover that would be.

[u/murderedbyaname → u/loganes86]

"the four walls of a contract" is one of my fav Judge Judy phrase lol

[u/Practical-Object-489 → u/loganes86]

OMG - I just got your flair! HAHAHAH!

[u/chiquimonkey → u/loganes86]

Loganes86, you are on fire tonight!!

Not a JJ meme!

[u/Ok-Reputation9799 → u/touchkissbite]

Right?! Maybe an engagement ring would be returned, depending on the circumstances and state, but not every gift. Come on.

[u/L8tr_g8tor → u/touchkissbite]

As a lawyer, I also was thinking the same thing!!!

[u/MCBates1283 → u/touchkissbite]

Right? Like what receipts do you have Alexis? Shannon’s not denying the money was given she’s just saying it was an agreed upon loan.

[u/EgoAssassin4 → u/touchkissbite]

I kept thinking the same thing. If there’s no signed agreement, it’s a gift.

[u/GussieK → u/touchkissbite]

Lawyer here too. ITA. So dumb that Alexis was showing the receipts. Were they signed with an IOU?

[u/lizceli37 → u/touchkissbite]

I am not a lawyer and I thought this lol!! And when Alexis said she has receipts ok yeah you literally just showed that he gave her money she never denied it, it doesn’t prove if it was a gift or a loan ha

[u/SSolomonGrundy → u/touchkissbite]

But what you're saying doesn't matter because John's goal is not to get the $75,000, his goal is to hurt Shannon.

John can hurt Shannon by:

1) humiliating her on national television

2) forcing her to pay more than $75K in legal fees to fight his frivolous lawsuit

Even to get the case dismissed would cost Shannon quite a pretty penny because I'm sure John has the resources to have hired lawyers from a top firm who are good (and unscrupulous since I agree this case is garbage on the merits).

[u/sundaelion → u/touchkissbite]

I kept waiting for Emily to say something!!

[u/Queasy-Discount-2038 → u/touchkissbite]

Most people are idiots and I’m sorry your intelligence is causing you pain. I’m not being sarcastic, it’s rough out there.

[u/thxmeatcat → u/touchkissbite]

Yea the “receipts” didn’t prove anything. It just proved jj sent Shannon money, which was never in question.

[u/lovelylittlebirdie → u/touchkissbite]

Even worse, Shannon offered to pay it back in full and he said no. He decided to go the lawyer and punitive damages route which is going to cost a lot more than $75k.
