Chapter 1: What are the current updates on the Los Angeles fires?
What's going on, everybody? Welcome back to another episode of the Vile Files Reality Recap Edition. I'm your host, Nick. We got the household here. Obviously, I think we should start this episode by acknowledging these terrible fires that we have here in L.A. It's affecting, I mean, we got Sierras living in a hotel right now, and... Thousands of homes, sadly, have been burned down. It's crazy.
The skies here in Los Angeles are full of smoke and clouds. It's a very terrifying situation. Thankfully, we are okay right now, and the rest of the household seems to be okay. But it's a very scary situation, and obviously our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone. Scary situation.
It is very scary. It is 0% contained as of this morning, and it just keeps going and going, and more fires keep starting, and all of PCH basically was on fire last night. The Palisades Village is completely burned to the ground. It's very sad. It's like, I just, it's, I can't believe it's real. I mean, it's just, it's heartbreaking.
Yeah, I mean, it's, I've lived in L.A. for decades, What, 10, 11 years now or something like that. There's been a couple years where there's been like days where it's just like, holy shit, there's a lot of fires. This seems to be worse than I can remember.
It's also very close to home. Like I was staring outside my hotel window and I could see the mountains over Burbank catching on fire and it's just kind of.
When did you have to leave? Like what?
My power was out since 8 a.m. yesterday. So after work, when I got home around like 5 or 6 and realizing we still have no power and I need Wi-Fi and food and whatnot. So we packed up our car, our dog, and we are now staying in a hotel.
How long? Do you know?
Uh, last update that we got about power said 24 to 48 hours. So I'll be staying there again tonight and possibly tomorrow. Okay. I don't think this is a normal fire season either. Like this is clearly, um, we usually get Santa Ana winds at the end of August, September, and that's usually when our fire season is. Um,

Chapter 2: What is the controversy surrounding Justin Baldoni's leaked voice notes?
I do feel like I was a good wife when I did make myself a cup of coffee yesterday morning and you asked, how was it? And I said it was awful.
He did.
Yeah.
So you're not missing a thing. Yeah. Yeah. It's a fasting.
I needed a cleanse. I've been really eating way too much sugar lately these days. And I think my diet has relatively been not like where I feel like it could be or should be. It's the new year. I figured, fuck it. Let's try it. If my mom can do it, why can't I?
you know did you finish those candies i bought you oh my god i fucking crushed those they're gone are there more oh my i finished those like i had to make myself i had to make myself save the second pack the two containers are gone the first the first one was gone before i got home the second one i was like i'll wait till tomorrow to finish it and then i just crushed them was that am i supposed to they are hard to find and are you offended that i didn't preserve them
I was just like, just so you know, if they're gone, they're kind of gone.
But also, Justin, what should piss you off even more about him eating those is that he doesn't suck on them. He just immediately chews them up. So there is no savor of anything. Once the sour is gone, you have to. It's the same with cough drops, which I feel like defeats the purpose of a cough drop. Thank you. Because the lozenge is while you suck it and you swallow.
I haven't eaten 36 hours and you guys are just trashing me.

Chapter 3: Why is Allison Holker facing backlash?
But Natalie made a great, great point.
we're not saying that Justin, that this happened, but we're just saying that it is possible that this happened. And like, I mean, I pump at work and like, if I'm all set up and everything is like good and I'm covered, it's like, sure, somebody can come in and I'll text somebody. Yeah, come in, let's talk, let's have a conversation. I do that with Sierra and Allison and all the time.
I'm just like, okay, yeah, I'm set up, come in.
I couldn't imagine if one time you were like, yeah, I'm pumping, it's cool. And then going forward, every time someone's like, yeah, Leia's pumping in the other room, I just walked in.
Yeah.
without ever just checking in or knocking on the door. It's the same as like, yeah, like someone's door's closed. You knock. Oh, you can come in the next time it's closed. You're just like, I don't need to knock this time.
Right.
I don't know. I mean, I think obviously people who are supporting Justin are going to support Justin, you know, I don't think their opinions are going to be swayed. Just like my opinion of Justin is not going to be swayed.
You're absolutely right. But if you're having a hard time, Even considering Blake's allegations, like I'm just more back to like Emily said, just ask the questions like what's the motivation? A lot of people are speculating, oh, the motivation is she wanted to take over the project and then secure her rights to like doing the other movies. That's just like fan theory as far as I know.

Chapter 4: What are the predictions for Bravo and RHOBH in 2025?
Chapter 5: How are celebrities responding to their personal controversies?
He's posting like sobriety coins. So he's like celebrating or like encouraging himself to stay sober.
He must have unfollowed me earlier.
Oh.
That makes sense.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Allie is posting TikToks of her new Larchmont apartment. Yeah. So she's moved out. Larchmont. And he's posting coins, sobriety coins? Sobriety coins, yeah.
To prove. So has there been any acknowledgement about his being violent and physical towards women?
From him?
Yes.
No. I mean, this is him returning to social media.

Chapter 6: What happened with Nikki Glaser at the Golden Globes?
That's my irrational fear.
It's vibe football time. So do you guys know about the wild card? Absolutely not. Playoff edition. Okay. So for anyone confused, the wild card.
I'm sorry. Go ahead.
The wild card round of the playoffs is basically the girls, and by girls I mean grown men's, chance to bring the receipt, the proof, the timeline, fucking everything to the table in order to be greenlit into the next season of the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. Or in football's case, the divisional playoffs.
The divisional playoffs.
Yes. So...
It's win or go home. Win or go home. And the playoffs are the Super Bowl?
No.
The Super Bowl is the Super Bowl. They turn into the Super Bowl. You're trying to get to the Super Bowl.
