Welcome back, Edittors. On this Cockies and Goss edition of The Good Edit Unfiltered, behavioral analyst Elle Schwartz breaks down four Bravo stories about people taking control of their own narrative. RHOSLC's Whitney Rose says she and Justin Rose separated in May after nearly sixteen years of marriage and are nesting for their kids while they sell Wild Rose Beauty. Elle looks at how money has narrated this marriage across six seasons. Bronwyn Newport answers the Chase McWhorter rumors from Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and the West Wilson chatter on Hulu's Get Real, Amanda Batula appears to clap back, and Page Six reports a new name in her orbit. Southern Charm's Shep Rose calls Taylor Ann Green the muse behind his ayahuasca memoir, Nothing in Moderation, and writes about guilt over how he treated her. Can a memoir work as an apology? We close with care as Meredith Marks reflects on standing by Mary Cosby after the loss of her son, Robert Cosby Jr. Plus a look ahead to the RHOP Season 11 premiere on October 11. Stories come from published interviews and media reports, and claims stay claims. Subscribe on Acast, Apple Podcasts and Spotify, and follow @tge_thegoodeditunfiltered.
