Criminality

Can #MomTok survive a Criminality episode? We’re about to find out because Melissa is diving headfirst into the whirlwind world of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” with a focus on none other than the notorious Taylor Frankie Paul.

Though she is best known for her brief and bumpy marriage to Charlie Sheen, there’s a lot more to Brooke Mueller and Rebekah wants to share stories and scenes that paint a fuller picture.

Melissa delights us with a peek into one of TV’s brightest stars — Sherri Shepherd. Her charisma and drive took her from hit show to hit show and soon Sherri was on top of the world — just don’t ask her if it’s round or flat. But as these stories often reveal, the VIEW from the top isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. Sherri was one of the funniest women on tv, but things at home were anything but happy. Torn between work and caring for her son with special needs, Sherry struggled to make things with work with her first husband leading to their eventual divorce. She remarried and what follows with husband number two landed Sherri and her husband in court over a battle about surrogacy and parental responsibility. In an episode chock full of great tv clips and one decent Ba-ba Wa-Wa impression, this episode will also make you ponder what you might do in a similar situation.

ALL ABOARD: Since the most recent season of RHONJ derailed, Rebekah decided to course correct and include more than you probably care to know about the newest Jersey house husband, Luis Ruelas. He is more than Tre’s new love, more than a pizza oven business thief, he’s just a man in a “forgivity” shirt, asking people on social media, to trust him. But should we? If you ask his most recent ex, Vanessa Reiser, that would be a hard no. She outed him as an alleged narcissistic sociopath, but Luis has 99 problems and that’s just one. From “inventing businesses” to hiring investigators, Luis is always booked and busy doing the devil’s work. Rebekah will walk you through today’s episode, but beware, it’s a CRIMINALITY episode today, but could be a much darker story in the future.

Melissa and Rebekah are back from a summer hiatus and waste no time getting back into the wild world of reality TV crimes. Melissa leads this week’s episode with a trip to one of her favorite places — TLC! She introduces us to TLC’s latest larger than life family, the Plaths’; stars of “Welcome to Plathville.” Join us as Melissa takes us with her to explore life on the Plath farm in Cairo, Georgia. No shoes? No problem. Nobody seems to wear any on this show and it bothers Melissa almost as much as the actual crimes committed by family matriarch, Kim Plath. Can we really blame Kim for her problematic parenting when all she really wants to do is listen to Meatloaf in her car in peace?! If her blood alcohol level is above the legal limit, then the answer is yes. This family has the veneer of the Von Trapps, but the behavior of the BRowns — who could ask for anything more? Here’s what the hosts are watching as of today’s episode: Melissa: Claim to Fame, Hulu/ABC Rebekah: Love is Blind UK, Netflix SAY HI!
