Overview
- On the RHORI After Show, Rulla said Brian stayed quiet during the on‑camera clash to avoid yelling at a woman and to keep Gerry McGraw’s birthday from turning into a scene.
- Jo‑Ellen alleges Brian escalated the feud by emailing her employer to “file a complaint,” saying her company forwarded the message and that she saved the email.
- Rulla disputes that version and says Brian only spoke with a friend who was Jo‑Ellen’s boss to ask that Jo‑Ellen stop spreading what he called gossip.
- Brian acknowledges speaking to one of Jo‑Ellen’s colleagues but insists his aim was not to get her fired, only to halt comments about his personal life.
- In new comments, Rulla says viewers have seen only part of the story and adds she had nothing to do with any phone call about Jo‑Ellen’s job.
