Every Single Thing Happening at BravoCon 2025

Hi everyone, and welcome to BravoCon! Get ready for a weekend full of juicy gossip, dramatic moments, and fans eager to meet their favorite Real Housewives. I’m Brian Moylan, and I run Vulture’s Real Housewives Institute. I’ve been to every BravoCon, even the very first one in 2019 – I actually had to go in disguise because Bravo had temporarily banned me while I was researching my book, The Housewives: The Real Story Behind the Real Housewives. This year, I’ll be here getting all the latest news, interviewing the stars, and sharing the hottest gossip from the panels before it even makes it onto shows like Real Housewives of Beverly Hills – remember when Dorit and Erika Jayne had that disagreement about a potential divorce? (It turns out Dorit was right!)

Get ready for some shocking and funny moments, particularly at the Bravo awards show where Kandi Burruss is receiving a lifetime achievement honor. We’ll also get answers to some big questions: Will Wendy Osefo and Karen Huger from Real Housewives of Potomac show up for their panel despite their legal issues? Is Real Housewives of New York getting yet another cast shakeup? And will NeNe Leakes and Andy Cohen finally make amends? Stay tuned all weekend for all the latest updates! —Brian Moylan

Thursday’s sole event was not without its mishaps. Or its triumphs.

The recent taping of Watch What Happens Live, celebrating 20 years of The Real Housewives, was quite a scene! Fans lined up for drinks, the sound wasn’t great, and RHONY‘s Erin Lichy actually tripped and fell on the stairs as she came on stage. The event brought together almost 30 Housewives, including original cast members like Vicki Gunvalson and Shereé Whitfield, as well as Carole Radziwill, who recently returned to the show and looked fantastic in a tuxedo-style outfit.

BravoCon delivered the drama as usual, starting with a playful game of ‘Squash That Beef’ where Gizelle Bryant from Real Housewives of Potomac hilariously ‘erased’ Adriana de Moura from Real Housewives of Miami. But the highlight was a new game called ‘Full-Time, Friend Of, or Forgotten’ – a twist on ‘Fuck, Marry, Kill’ where the Housewives chose which former cast members they’d want to return as full-time cast members, as ‘friends of’ the show, or not at all. The results are sure to be entertaining when the episode airs on Bravo, Monday, November 17th at 9:15 p.m. Hopefully, a funny moment with Erin will make the final cut too – watching her stumble is always good for a laugh.

Where is BravoCon 2025 taking place?

Since the last BravoCon in Las Vegas in 2023, the event has moved to a significantly larger venue – from a smaller theater at the Paris hotel to a much bigger one at Planet Hollywood. It’s at least two or three times the size! There were quite a few empty seats at Thursday night’s Watch What Happens Live taping, likely because fans are still arriving from all over the country. I even met some enthusiastic fans from Boston, California, Arizona, and Montana outside the event.
