Introducing the most iconic fight and debasing fight in Real Housewives of Rhode Island history… In one corner, we have Rosie and Clemmy. In the other corner, we have Kelsie. Who will win? Not the Slam Pig (Rosie’s word, not ours).
Dom Torres and Kyla Denanyoh are discussing episode 8 of Season 1 of The Real Housewives of Rhode Island. The episode begins with Alicia facing her fear of driving and telling Billy about her disagreement with Liz over whether she was homeless. Then we see Kelsie unpacking her belongings in the new apartment, paid for by her ex-boyfriend. The ex is paying for her car note, health insurance, and apartment, which is very generous, although a little surprising to Kyla. She expresses how vulnerable she would feel at 30, unable to pay her bills. Dom explains how he has met plenty of people who let their good looks and forgiving attitudes give them a soft life, regardless of their age.
Jo-Ellen has an emotional, vulnerable conversation with her mother and sister about how they were raised and how they did not feel loved or appreciated by their mother. Jo-Ellen’s mother explains that she was modeling behavior she had seen in her mother and sent the girls away to reform schools or behavioral institutes because she did not know how to handle their attitudes and teenage years. Dom & Kyla agree that it is never too late to apologize and are thankful that Jo-Ellen's mother has admitted to not handling many situations properly and is now seeking their forgiveness.
Alicia has an uncomfortable dinner with Rulla and Brian and debates whether she should tell Rulla about the video of her husband cheating. Kyla believes that Alicia is making too big a deal out of the video; Alicia is the messenger. Just say it!
The episode ends with Rosie getting a haircut from Kelsie, part 2. This time, Rosie will take a photo of the hair and post it on social media, along with the payment that was not made in their prior exchange. However, before Kelise comes into the house, she is pranking Rosie by driving down the street using a bullhorn to announce the square footage of Rosie’s house. When Kelsie enters the house, Rosie has laid out the architectural plans to jokingly show the square footage, but the prank is lost on Kelsie. Before Rosie can offer Kelsie a beverage or a seat, both women begin yelling at each other about their professions, lack of husbands, and career rumors. Kelsie and Rosie get physical with each other, pushing and shoving each other, and Rosie tosses Kelsie’s bag out of the house, which prompts Kelsie to get the bag and then storm back into the house.
Then Rosie calls Kelsie a slam pig. Urban Dictionary provided that a slam pig is “a highly offensive, misogynistic insult used to describe a woman perceived as promiscuous.” Well damn.
Let us know, do you think Kelsie is a slam pig? Have you heard of this phrase before? Who do you think won the argument?
