Reality headlines: Secret Lives and dad talk

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Reality Recap!

Today, we're joined by Potomac diva Ashley Darby! She stops by to dish on what's still to come this season on RHOP, how she really feels about Stacey, and even teases a possible revived love interest. Later, Co-Editor-in-Chief at Variety and Actors on Actors executive producer Ramin Setoodeh joins us to talk all things Actors on Actors, plus some early Oscar buzz. And of course, we're recapping the latest episode of RHOSLC, Christmas shopping, and more.

"That's just so phony and who has time for phony?"
