Well folks, the reality TV equivalent of the Oscars, BravoCon 2025, has rolled out its red carpet over the weekend to play host to a dazzling array of the network’s biggest stars.
This year, the annual convention, held in Las Vegas, has spawned countless gag-worthy moments, which is exactly what you’d expect whenever a bunch of Housewives assemble under the same roof.
From shock reconciliations to newfound feuds and long-awaited comebacks, here’s all the biggest takeaways as BravoCon 2025 wraps up later today.
Teresa Giudice and Joe Gorga reconcile after years-long beef
In proof that nature is (maybe) healing, The Real Housewives of New Jersey stars Teresa Giudice and Joe Gorga officially reconciled at BravoCon, years after their infamous feud that also came to ensnare Melissa Gorga became a hallmark feature of the Housewives show.
The sibling duo were seen hugging it out while at a BravoCon stall, and later said on the red carpet that their decision to mend fences was “not for the cameras”. It’s wholesome news, but in the Housewives universe, reconciliations are tenuous and ought not to be trusted.
Vicki Gunvalson nabs a full-time Housewives spot
The so-called OG of the OC, Vicki Gunvalson, is well and truly living up to her name, after it was announced at BravoCon that she would be returning to The Real Housewives of Orange County as a full-time Housewife!
Bravo daddy Andy Cohen made the announcement while hosting faux awards ceremony The Bravos, bringing Gunvalson on stage and asking whether she’d return for the show’s 20th season by presenting her with an orange (because, duh!).
Real Housewives of Potomac stars make their post-arrest debut
The Real Housewives of Potomac was rocked by two cast arrests this year, with BravoCon serving as the first time Wendy Osefo and Karen Huger made public appearances in the wake of their legal woes. For her part, Huger — who was arrested and jailed last year for a DUI — received a standing ovation from the crowd at The Bravos.
Meanwhile, Osefo — who was arrested on fraud charges in October — said during a BravoCon panel that she “can’t say too much” about the ongoing case but vowed to “continue to push forward”. That’s Bravo-speak for ‘you’ll find out on the show!’.
Lisa Barlow claps back at Jennifer Lawrence
While she didn’t attend in the flesh, noted Bravo superfan Jennifer Lawrence was top of mind for Lisa Barlow of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. If you recall, Barlow caught strays from Lawrence earlier this month when she said was unimpressed with her recent cosmetic work, prompting a surprisingly classy clapback from Barlow at BravoCon.
“Everyone has a different perspective. She is an amazing actress. I have loved that Jennifer Lawrence loves the Bravo community… Jennifer Lawrence can do no wrong. She has bad days like all of us.” Kudos to Barlow for keeping it cute!
Vanderpump Rules stars joining The Valley
Outside of the Housewives universe, BravoCon fed us new deets about The Valley, a spinoff of Vanderpump Rules [VPR] that’s entering its third season next year.
Ahead of the new instalment, the cast revealed during their panel that they’re welcoming VPR alums Lala Kent and Tom Schwartz to the season three cast. They’ll be joined by fellow ex-SUR waiters Kristen Doute and Brittany Cartwright, following news that Vanderpump Rules is undergoing an entire cast shakeup for a totally rebooted season.
While part of me wishes one of these big moments was a wine glass being thrown, there’s still a few hours left of BravoCon 2025, which is more than enough time for a reality TV star to make a fool of themself. Welp, that’s all the tea from this year’s shebang. Can’t wait to see what 2026 brings us.
