The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion included Brandi firing attacks on all of the original housewives, but another secondary housewife, Dana Wilkey, didn't make it onto the reunion show until the end, which will air on Monday. However, she was disappointed that she couldn't be sitting on the couch when Brandi was there, because she felt she could have defended Taylor Armstrong, who happens to be a good friend of hers.
"The reunion was hard for me to watch because I wish I had been there to stop Brandi from criticizing Taylor. She's been through enough," Dana writes in her official Bravo blog. Brandi asked her some questions about her book, saying Taylor makes it the world's business considering she is on a reality show. But Dana doesn't see it that way and wanted to be on the show to tell Brandi to back off. "So rather than argue about whether she should have written it or how long she should have waited to do so, why doesn't everyone just read it and see if it can help someone you know?" Dana suggests from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills women.
However, it is difficult situation. While one side argues that Taylor was too quick to publish the book, others think it couldn't be on the shelves soon enough just in case it could save lives. One argument is that Taylor was too quick to publish a book and it's not like Taylor's book is the book that will save lives.
"Is it possible that because our friendships are developing publicly and that all the girls have so much influence that people are scared to let their guard down? I think the answer is yes," Dana writes on her blog. She thinks it will be hard for Taylor and Brandi to create a genuine friendship because of the constant focus on Taylor's situation with Russell.

As for the book, I hope it does not sell. It wasn't written to "save lives." It was written as a desperate attempt to make $$. Taylor will be broke because as she alluded to, her husband had some shady business deals.... The part Taylor left out is that she was included in those medical records deals as well. She white washes EVERYTHING. People lost hard earned $$ because of both Russell AND Taylor. He seemed like a lost soul and I feel badly for his children that Taylor has written this one-sided legacy in a situation where he is unable to defend a word of it. Don't trust her...never did. I do believe they abused one another-but this book is a disgrace. So, Dana, you buy the book. As for me, I think shelters, hotlines and the fact that there are so many out reach programs out there for DV is going to save lives...NOT Taylor's tell all book!!! Just get her off this show!
