Kim Richards’ white lie about Pill Popping
Have you watched The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 5 Episode 11? Then you may remember the notorious poker party at Eileen Davidson’s house that turned into an all-out brawl, and the cause of the throw-down. Yes! It was Kim Richards’ drug consumption which not only lead to a feud between Kyle Richards and Brandi Glanville, but a cold war between Kim and her sister Kyle. Though Kim said that she doesn’t remember the poker party, and claimed to took a pain pill prescribed to her husband; but it was not a bold move for a woman struggling with sobriety.

Cates picked up a handful of chips and threw them at Rossiter, however, he seemed nonplussed by the outburst.
Men who play Ladies Events are Idiots – Coren
Winner of two different EPT Main Event (London in 2006 and Sanremo in 2014), Victoria Coren-Mitchell called those 22 men ‘idiots’ who joined the EPT Ladies Event in Deauville. She believes that the creation of ladies, seniors or men poker event have nothing to do with discrimination. Coren said, “This is just a game. People have come here to have fun. Traditionally, women don’t play poker – and that’s partially because some of them find it intimidating. Having a ladies event is not about being Prime Minister or running a country – it’s not that important. Ladies event are a nice way to create a fun event and at the same time to attract women that would not play otherwise.”
