RHORI Recap: Brian’s Affair Video Leaves Jo-Ellen, Liz and the Housewives Speechless

The affair saga that has dominated RHORI since Episode 2 just reached a nuclear level.

In Episode 7, Jo-Ellen receives video footage from a mutual friend showing Brian in a long, intimate embrace with the mistress — grabbing her ass and kissing her — filmed just two days before the polo match confrontation. The video even shows Brian’s distinctive red car interior.

This is the undeniable proof Rulla has been demanding.

Jo-Ellen and Liz watch the footage in horror. Liz immediately tells Jo-Ellen to “release the hounds” and show the group.

The women are stunned as they describe what they’re seeing. Kelsey predicts Rulla will still find a way to deny it. Alicia gets tagged to eventually show it to Rulla since she’s closest to her (and has dinner plans with the couple next episode).

This video is the climax of a season-long storm:

• Jo-Ellen first exposed the affair in Episode 2
• The awkward husband showdown happened at Liz’s Studio 54 party in Episode 3
• Rulla’s denial reached new heights at the schooner and polo match in Episodes 5 and 6

Jo-Ellen has oscillated between wanting to stay out of it and feeling genuine concern for Rulla as a fellow wife and mother. Now she has the smoking gun.
