Survivors of child sexual abuse in Rhode Island can now sue institutions that enabled or covered it up, even if previous time limits have expired. That's thanks to a law just signed by Governor Dan McKee.Jim Scanlan has been advocating for this bill at the State House for years. He was sexually abused in the late 1970s by a Boston College High School priest. His real-life story was the basis for a character known as “Kevin from Providence” in the acclaimed movie, “Spotlight,” about The Boston Globe's investigation revealing the Catholic Church knew about sexual abuse of children in its ranks. Scanlan joins host Edward Fitzpatrick to tell his story and explain why this new law is important. Tips and ideas?

Season 1, Episode 11 delivers peak Ocean State chaos. This week, tensions from last episode's blowout follow the ladies straight into Rulla and Brian's extravagant Arabian Nights–themed end‑of‑summer party, where belly dancers, hookahs, and even talk of a camel set the stage for a night that was supposed to be peaceful — but of course, wasn't.  But the real bomb of the night comes courtesy of Rosie revealing the infamous video allegedly showing Brian kissing another woman. The cheating rumor explodes back into the spotlight, blindsiding Rulla and overshadowing the fragile peace talks happening between the women. If you thought Episode 11 would be a breather before the finale, think again — Rhode Island refuses to let up. Support the show

Episode 9, “Questionable Behavior,” turns the Ocean State into a full‑scale emotional hurricane. I'm recapping the explosive Rosie vs. Kelsey Round Two blow‑up at Audrey's trivia night, where accusations about affairs, Miss Slam Pig, and “attacking” behavior send the whole group scrambling for cover.  Then we've got Alicia and Liz screaming in the car, all because Liz refuses to accept Alicia's version of her own childhood, leading to one of the rawest breakdowns of the season. And while all this chaos unfolds, Rulla skips both cast events, gives Alicia relationship advice on the beach, and still has no idea about the video of Brian — a secret Alicia is still sitting on. This episode is messy, emotional, and absolutely essential viewing as we head toward the finale. Support the show

Episode 6 delivers the first official cast trip of the season — and the vibes are chaotic before the Rolls Royce's even pull up to the mansion. In this week's recap, I'm breaking down Kelsey's shocking breakup text that sends the entire group buzzing, Liz stepping in as emotional support, and the women heading to a 29‑bedroom Newport estate where the drama follows them room to room. But the real fracture forms between Kelsey and Rosie, whose feud goes from simmering to explosive as accusations fly, alliances harden, and the cast splits cleanly down the middle. By the time the midseason trailer rolls, it's clear: the Ocean State is done pretending to play nice. 

Bravo Breakdown is back!  Episode 3 turns the Ocean State tide -  From friendship fractures to family drama to a Rhode Island Culture Corner that explains why this state treats gossip like a competitive sport, I'm unpacking the chaos with forensic precision. The season is heating up, and Episode 3 proves these women are just getting started.  The episode's central explosion happens at Liz's Studio 54–themed birthday party for her husband, where a clash over the “ongoing” Dino affair rumors ends with Liz kicking Kelsey out and hinting at a secret from her past. 

Welcome to the very first Bravo Breakdown, the new corner of Jess Sayin' where we talk everything Bravo.For our very first breakdown, I'm recapping The Real Housewives of Rhode Island Season 1, Episode 1 — and the Ocean State is already serving delusion, dynasty energy, and seafood‑tower diplomacy. I'm unpacking every cast intro, every suspicious edit, every early alliance, and every moment that proves Rhode Island may be tiny, but the drama is not.Welcome to Bravo Breakdown. 

Welcome back to Bravo Breakdown, where we talk Bravo like we're gossiping in the group chat. Episode 2 of The Real Housewives of Rhode Island is here, and the vibes are shifting. Suddenly everyone has an opinion, a storyline, and a bone to pick.  We meet the newest Housewife, Rulla, who arrives with enough scandal to power the entire Ocean State. Her husband Brian's alleged affair becomes the centerpiece of the episode.
