PHOTO: Reiko Mackenzie's Ex's New Girlfriend

Former Real Housewives of Vancouver star Reiko Mackenzie's ex has moved on. Sun Mackenzie, who has been separated from Reiko for two years now, has been dating 20-something waitress named Ashley Bolton.

Following a string of nasty tweets from Reiko, Ashley deleted her twitter account. Seems Reiko's pretty bitter her ex has a girlfriend while she's still single. In the past few months, details of rocky relationships with both her ex-husband and girlfriend have come to light.

A story about Ashley and Sun was submitted to theDirty.com and I'd bet good money Reiko was the one who sent it. The post revealed some shocking insight into Reiko and Sun's relationship including that Sun is allegedly a drug dealer and sleeps with Reiko occasionally. Here's the whole post:

"Nik, Trashley has kept on the DL since she cancelled her social Media. She may think no one knows her game but we all do. Used to work at Cactus with Ashley Bolton aka Trashley. She acts all sweet to your face but will pretty much sleep with your brother, husband or anyone who is over 50 and appears to have money. She’s moved into a upscale hotel with her over the hill bf (Sun Mackenzie) former husband of Reiko Mackenzie. Oh and btw Trashley .. Sun still f$$ks Reiko from time to time.. It makes him feel better about giving the loot up to R. Sun is apparently beyond the law… Besides being a FT thug this guy clearly has some skeletons as he was aquitted of murder. Put these scandalous train wrecks on the blast."

Turns Out Reiko Isn't Very Rich

There's pressure to flaunt the good life on a show like the Real Housewives of Vancouver, and it seems Reiko Mackenzie pulled out all the stops to create the illusion.

The Cars

Turns out most of them were leased. Among the leased cars were a 2007 Bentley Continental Flying Spur, Ferrari F430 Spider, Lamborghini Murcielago and 2011 Ferrari 458 Italia.

Makes sense. While I believe Reiko holds a Ferrari 458 Italia, probably as a lease, we've never seen her in any of her other cars. Ever. They were probably leased for the show.

She's also tweeted about driving a Fiat but that's a relatively inexpensive car. And we've never seen proof of it either.

Reiko's Ferrari

The Home

Allegedly was also leased for the show. If you've been following Reiko on Instagram, you'll notice she's moved between at least three properties last year. One was to a farm and we all know out-of-town properties don't exactly cost an arm and a leg.

This article says she lives in Kerrisdale but a quick look at their real estate shows it's not exactly a high-rolling area.

Luxury Goods

A lot of the expensive shoes Reiko posts to her social media accounts is often in the store. Gives the impression that she can't afford these goods at all but posts the pictures to create the illusion she can.

And a pair of Louis Vuitton shoes she wore to an ET Canada interview are three years old. Which begs the question, did she get them second-hand?

As further testament to her limited financial resources, her ex-husband Sun Mackenzie is allegedly short on child support. And if we remember from the show, she relies on him to fund her lifestyle.

However it looks as if Reiko's set to launch a film career. She's signed up with a talent agency so maybe we'll see her on tv some more. You can view her "demo reel" too.

Reiko's Family and Relationship Drama

Since she was cut from the Real Housewives of Vancouver, Reiko Mackenzie's life has taken a dramatic turn for the worse in her personal life.

In October of 2012, she announced her separation from husband Sun Mackenzie. She then started dating Vancouver-based DJ Kasha Kennedy but the two broke up. Allegedly it was Kennedy who ended the relationship and Reiko is devastated.

Now there are rumors circulating that Sun Mackenzie is not paying Reiko child support for their two daughters, Ashanti and Alizee. Allegedly she is gearing up to take him to court to settle the matter.

It will be their second time in court together. Court documents show the couple appeared in court in January of this year. Likely to finalize their divorce is my guess.

Speaking of Reiko vs Sun, it seems Sun has a new girlfriend and Reiko is not happy. She tweeted threats to the girl- supposedly a 19/20 year old waitress- and her employer. Reiko quickly deleted the tweets of which I unfortunately do not have copies of.

His young new girlfriend isn't the only thing Sun has been enjoying since his separation/divorce. He was spotted partying with Ronnie Negus's son Jhordan following his split from Reiko. #turnup

I guess we'll see what becomes of their family drama when new court documents are released. I love that BC does that.

Cars, Not Charity

Reiko Mackenzie and her Ferrari- valued at $350,000

All of season 1's cast of the Real Housewives of Vancouver champion some cause. Jody feeds the homeless, Ronnie's a big supporter of the BC Children's Hospital, Mary has tuberculosis, even Christina does something for third world countries. The entire show, and after following her on Twitter for two years, I have never heard anything about Reiko donating to, or volunteering with a charitable organization. Instead, she now is up to 4 Ferraris, in addition to whatever she had from season 1, and also recently asked on Twitter if she should get a new Porsche or Land Rover for winter.

After doing some research, I compiled a list of things Reiko could have bought instead of getting one Ferrari Enzo (she has 2):

• school supplies for 43,333 children in Africa
• 2,166 cows to supply families with milk and a source of income
• 65,000 blankets for children without
• 13,000 emergency food baskets to feed people during a famine, drought, or natural disaster
• provided 2,363 communities with clean drinking water
• provide 325 medical clinics with supplies
• sent 41 students to Harvard
• sent 163 students to most Canadian universities

I wonder if her one-dimensional personality if why she wasn't asked back. I wouldn't knock anyone for living a good life, but if you can't give back, or just blindly buy up as much as you can without giving others a thought, who want to see you on tv. We all give Jody heck for who she is, but even she makes an effort to use her wealth and social status to help others. Come on Reiko.

The Real Housewives and Their Fans

You're only as famous as your fans. In order to stay on top, you need a supportive fan base- the bigger the better. Here we rank the season one's cast of the Real Housewives of Vancouver castmates by their fan pages and their own engagement with their fans via Twitter:

1. Ronnie Negus: her Twitter fan page @RonnieNegusFans is the most popular with over 500 followers, the longest running and still tweets regularly. Ronnie herself is also pretty social among her admirers. She frequently tweets her fans back or retweets their messages of support. She's also been know to reward her most loyal fans with bottles of Rehab.
2. Jody Claman: also frequently reaches out to fans. She has also rewarded her most loyal fans with phone calls. She's supported by two pages (although one hasn't tweeted since July) and @LindaNTyler which is essentially a Claman fan page with a different name
3. Mary Zilba: also regularly reaches out to fans. Her new fan page @MaryZilbaFans is still fairly young but has potential to help build her fan base. She has another fan Twitter page called @MaryZilbaUSA but that one hasn't tweeted since August.
4. Christina Kiesel: doesn't even have Twitter but has a pretty strong fan page. @CKieselRHOVfans has over 120 followers and still regularly tweets
5. Reiko Mackenzie: her fan page has been inactive for over a month. Looking through the tweets, almost none of them were about Reiko. And the few tweets reaching out to her went unanswered.

How will season's 2 cast compare to season 1? The season hasn't aired yet so it's too early to tell if who we're making our fan account for. They do seem fairly social and friendly though. Hopefully they'll have the engagement of Ronnie, Jody and Mary, and in turn, just as loyal fans. 

___________________________________________

While we're on the topic of not making fan pages prematurely, a moment of silence for @LisaMarieFans.

After another RHOV blogger falsely reported that Lisa Marie Blair was a new housewife, an over-eager RHOV fan made a fan page for her.  If they're quick, they can maybe change it to Amanda/Robin/Ioulia fans before other people start claiming them.

Season 1 Cast: What Are They Up To Now?

Seems like only yesterday we were meeting the likes of Ronnie Negus, Mary Zilba, Christina Kiesel, Reiko Mackenzie and Jody Claman. Now season 2's underway and with some new faces. Sadly Reiko and Christina left for different reasons, but we're excited to meet new wives Robin Reichman, Amanda Hansen and Ioulia Reynolds.

But what's season one's cast up to now?

Ronnie Negus: she recently wrote a children's book called "Mommy Why?" to inspire compassion and understanding in children.

Jody Claman: has two new cookbooks in the works, recently opened a store called Jody's Fine Foods, and has expanded her store The Glass House to Montreal and soon, Toronto.

Mary Zilba: no word on if she launched her scarf line. But apparently Blue Tulum is still being considered for launch. She also has a new cosmetics line called Buff Beauty and launched a fragrance.

Christina Kiesel: hard to keep up with since she doesn't use Twitter, but allegedly she's working on a travel show

Reiko Mackenzie: since the show, she has separated from her husband and began dating DJ Kasha Kennedy. She's also rumored to be working on a cookbook.

Reiko on The Rush

Season one cast-mate Reiko Mackenzie, recently appeared on The Rush to open up about her experiences on the Real Housewives of Vancouver. She also chatted with show hosts Fiona Forbes and Michael Eckford about driving fast cars, kicking ass in martial arts and cooking. Check it out:

Why Didn't Reiko & Christina Return?

With the announcement of the Real Housewives of Vancouver's new cast came the news that Reiko Mackenzie and Christina Kiesel would not be returning for a second season.

Christina is rumoured to have left in hopes of acquiring a travel show. Reiko on the other had tweeted that she had not been asked back because she didn't add enough drama to the show.

It's a shame neither will be coming back. Christina was hilarious. And Reiko may not have been full of drama, but who didn't enjoy her cars?

Reiko is Dating Again- A Woman!

A few months ago, Reiko Mackenzie of the Real Housewives of Vancouver announced her separation from her husband Sun Mackenzie (read more here). But now it seems she's dating a woman!

Reiko and her rumored beau, Kasha Kennedy

The rumoured beau is allegedly Vancouver-based DJ Kasha Kennedy. The pair were sighted at the Vancouver opening of Topshop October 19th. Kasha later tweeted a photos of the two of them a few days later on October 24th.

A source close to Reiko confirmed she is indeed in a relationship, but out of respect for Reiko, we'll wait till she confirms the relationship herself. If it is in fact true, than be sure to congratulate her on embracing her sexuality. That sounds cheesy but coming out is hard to do. Show your love and support!

Reiko Mackenzie is Separated

The Real Housewives of Vancouver tomboy, Rekio Mackenzie, has separated from her husband Sun Mackenzie. Yesterday she tweeted a series of hashtags announcing her separation

It's safe to assume she's already move out. She has tweeted news and photos of moving into a new home with horses!

Nice to see Reiko's energy and enthusiasm about her new life. No reason was given for the separation.

New Info on the Wives

Well I just got some information from a Vancouverite and he says there's some truth and some falsehoods to the lives and scandles of the Real Housewives of Vancouver. Here's some of the information I got:

• Christina never was a prostitute. She marrid a wealthy guy at 19, then left him for someone even wealthier- David Aisenstat, owner of The Keg. Both men do quite well of more than likely Christina got a good divorcee settlement
• Jody did not start her business with $800. She comes from a wealthy family and they supported her business ventures. But the bit about her and Mia causing trouble in Vancouver is true. They call themselves the "Claman Sisters". Also Mia is still a confirmed skank.
• Mary has been married twice to men who made lots of money. The "venture capitalist" she referred to is her second husband.
• Ronnie is rich in thanks to her third husband. Also she has 4 kids by 3 different men.
• Reiko's husband, Sun News Lal, did have mob connections but that was before they were married. The mystery is where their current source of income comes from. Some say he comes from a wealthy family and others say he still has connection with the Indo-Canadian mob.
