The second lesson? Never allow a caterer to hand you a bill in front of guests. Oops. It was going so well for Ashley until the last night, when her husband Michael showed up at the drag club the ladies were partying at. It’s hard to blame him; there is no party like a gay party that has a few Housewives in attendance.

Monique has a French name and an essential oils business, and that’s two reasons for her to celebrate her birthday in Cannes. No sooner has everyone unpacked and met for a bite, than Ashley is accusing Karen of living in a townhouse instead of the palatial home she entertains in.

Being a gracious hostess is an art. The first step is knowing whether you are the hostess or not, and Charrisse Jackson and Karen Huger have not passed that test.
