This week on Raised by Reality, we cover the latest episodes of Summer House and The Valley.

The fallout from #Scamanda continues and we're looking at Summer House in a totally new way. The ladies of Beverly Hills bring it...barely.

This is a longer episode, so get comfy and let's dive in!

Kind of hard to believe someone who has never been married has to be the one to tell Kyle that you can't verbally abuse your wife.
