The Bravo Docket

Trigger Warning: Discussions of sexual assault.

It’s a new year and we’re back, Legal Team. We’re kicking things off by unpacking one of the messiest and most layered legal stories to come out of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. This episode dives into Britani Bateman’s off-screen legal history, including her past disputes with her ex-husband, and how that relationship provides critical context for who she is and what we saw play out this season. We also break down Jared Osmond’s own messy divorce proceedings, the broader Osmond family background, and why that name carries real weight in Utah’s legal and social circles. Between sealed filings, overlapping disputes, and unresolved tensions, this is a saga that feels far from finished.

What’s on the Docket?
How Britani’s relationship with her ex adds context to her on-screen behavior
The Osmond family background and their influence in Utah
Jared Osmond’s messy divorce and related legal fallout
Why recent developments suggest this saga isn’t finished

We break down the state’s opposition to Wendy’s motion to quash, what the response clarifies about both sides’ arguments, and what it signals for the case moving forward. Plus, we examine Wendy’s team releasing a public statement and zoom out on the growing role of attorney led PR during active cases, when it’s allowed and when it can backfire.

What’s on the Docket
The state’s opposition to Wendy Osefo’s motion to quash
What the government addressed in its response — and what it skipped
How prosecutors justify their position and investigative scope
Wendy’s team issuing a public legal statement and why it matters

Legal Team, we’re back with a major update on the Wendy Osefo case. Wendy is facing 16 criminal counts, and since our last episode she’s filed a wave of motions challenging the evidence against her. We break down what she’s asking the court to dismiss or suppress, why her chain-of-custody request is raising eyebrows, and what her own discovery obligations now look like. We also unpack her original bid to sever her trial from Eddie’s (which they now want back to being consolidated), how marital confidentiality actually works, and the leading theories on what her defense strategy could be.

What’s on the Docket?

A breakdown of the 16 charges Wendy is facing
A detailed analysis of her many filings and what they reveal
Her dismissal and suppression arguments
Her (former) attempt to sever her trial from Eddie’s

Legal Team, we are back with another chapter in the Erika Girardi saga, this time unpacking the new federal lawsuit targeting her current attorney James Wilkes. We break down who Wilkes is, why he was sending Erika six figure payments before Tom Girardi’s collapse, and what Chris Psaila and Marco Morante are now accusing him of including civil abuse of process and conspiracy. We also share a quick update on Tom’s Illinois case and the shocking (or not so shocking) twist that dropped right after we finished recording.

What’s on the docket?
Who James Wilkes is and his relationship with Erika & Tom
The new federal lawsuit alleging abuse of process and conspiracy
What an “abuse of process” claim actually means (in normal-people terms)
How Wilkes and Erika are allegedly interfering, according to plaintiffs
The evidence they point to: Wilkes’ supposed pattern of misusing legal tools
A quick update on Tom Girardi’s now-closed Illinois case
Why the judge ultimately dismissed the complaint
