The Bravo Docket

Trigger Warning: Discussions of sexual assault.It’s a new year and we’re back, Legal Team. We’re kicking things off by unpacking one of the messiest and most layered legal stories to come out of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. This episode dives into Britani Bateman’s off-screen legal history, including her past disputes with her ex-husband, and how that relationship provides critical context for who she is and what we saw play out this season. We also break down Jared Osmond’s own messy divorce proceedings, the broader Osmond family background, and why that name carries real weight in Utah’s legal and social circles. Between sealed filings, overlapping disputes, and unresolved tensions, this is a saga that feels far from finished. What’s on the Docket? How Britani’s relationship with her ex adds context to her on-screen behavior The Osmond family background and their influence in Utah Jared Osmond’s messy divorce and related legal fallout Why recent developments suggest this saga isn’t finished Access additional content and our Patreon here: ⁠https://zez.am/thebravodocket⁠ The Bravo Docket podcast, the statements we make whether in our own media or elsewhere, and any content we post are for entertainment purposes only and do not provide legal advice.

Legal Team, we’re back with a major update on the Wendy Osefo case. Wendy is facing 16 criminal counts, and since our last episode she’s filed a wave of motions challenging the evidence against her. We break down what she’s asking the court to dismiss or suppress, why her chain-of-custody request is raising eyebrows, and what her own discovery obligations now look like. We also unpack her original bid to sever her trial from Eddie’s (which they now want back to being consolidated), how marital confidentiality actually works, and the leading theories on what her defense strategy could be.

Legal Team, we are back with another chapter in the Erika Girardi saga, this time unpacking the new federal lawsuit targeting her current attorney James Wilkes. We break down who Wilkes is, why he was sending Erika six figure payments before Tom Girardi’s collapse, and what Chris Psaila and Marco Morante are now accusing him of including civil abuse of process and conspiracy. We also share a quick update on Tom’s Illinois case and the shocking (or not so shocking) twist that dropped right after we finished recording. What’s on the docket? Who James Wilkes is and his relationship with Erika & Tom The new federal lawsuit alleging abuse of process and conspiracy What an “abuse of process” claim actually means (in normal-people terms) How Wilkes and Erika are allegedly interfering, according to plaintiffs The evidence they point to: Wilkes’ supposed pattern of misusing legal tools A quick update on Tom Girardi’s now-closed Illinois case Why the judge ultimately dismissed the complaint Access additional content and our Patreon here: ⁠https://zez.am/thebravodocket⁠ The Bravo Docket podcast, the statements we make whether in our own media or elsewhere, and any content we post are for entertainment purposes only and do not provide legal advice.
