Snark Bait

You know him. You watch him. You (probably) love him. (Guilty.) But with as many lawsuits, accusations, and incriminating confessions as he has, we can’t help but wonder… is the trailblazing King of Bravo going to be untouchable forever?  We’re going on tour!!

Happy New Year, baby snarks!!! We’re back to our regularly scheduled programming but in the meantime, please enjoy one of our favorite throwback episodes of all time. What better way to kick off 2026 than with some good ol’ fashioned snark?!  Before Instagram, fashion bloggers were IT—and Arielle Charnas (known at the time as her blog name “Something Navy”) was one of the first. Soon, she became one of the biggest and most successful content creators on the internet… but in a little over a decade, it all came crashing down. In this much-requested episode, Christy and Sophie sink their teeth into the trials and tribulations of the now-infamous influencer (and her extended cinematic universe), Arielle Charnas.  We’re going on tour!!

Sorry for the fakeout… THIS is our last DET of 2025 (for real this time). We just had TOO many thoughts to keep to ourselves — from the VPR reboot to “Southern Charm,” Avery Woods haunting her own home, KJ Apa’s Jimmy Stewart accent, the “I Love LA” cast, and soooo much more.
