A $60,000 DEBT SHOCKER! DR. SIMONE WHITMORE OBLITERATES HER SON’S FUTURE AS THE “SHADY” TRUTH BEHIND HIS LAW SCHOOL FUNDING LEAVES THE FAMILY IN TOTAL SHAMBLES!

As Dr. Simone Whitmore saw it on Married to Medicine, her parental obligation to financially support her two sons ended when they both recently earned college degrees.

“Once Miles and Michael told me that they were gonna be graduating this year, all I have been able to think about is moving forward financially,” she shared in a confessional from Season 12, Episode 3. “Now, it’s time to pay bills, baby!”

And 22-year-old Michael, specifically, had certainly racked up some big expenses: As Dr. Simone revealed, he had “spent over $60,000 by himself” in a year on a credit card. During a heated family debate (more on that below), she informed Michael that the responsibility to “finance” his planned law school enrollment would fall on him.

In an exclusive interview with The Daily Dish, however, Dr. Simone admitted that she’d at least somewhat softened her position.

“We came to an agreement,” the Atlanta-area OB-GYN explained. “He’s going to law school in the fall of 2026. And the agreement we have is that he will take loans for tuition, and I will support him, provided he cuts back on his fabulous, luxurious lifestyle. So, no more spending 60K on a credit card.”

Either way, Simone did not enjoy reliving their intense discussion when it aired on Married to Medicine.

“That was a really painful moment to watch back,” she added. “I knew that he was spoiled, he was entitled, but seeing how entitled he really is, I wanted to choke him out.”

Amidst a surprise family meal that Michael and Miles, 26, threw together for her and Cecil Whitmore on Married to Med‘s Dec. 14 episode, Dr. Simone brought up her younger son’s “financial situation” and asked how he planned to pay for law school.

“I do have a mother who makes pretty good money,” he answered, to which Simone responded, “I don’t feel like I should be footing the bill for anything other than the roof over your head, that sort of a thing … The only one here at the table with an actual graduate doctorate degree is me. And how I did it was I got scholarship money and loans.”

Michael, meanwhile, countered, “Your mom was not able to do the things for you that you’re able to do for us. What about all the rich white kids? Their parents pay for their way to do everything, and they get out of college debt-free and are millionaires.”

His comment didn’t sit well with Dr. Simone, who shot back, “Who here at the table gives a f–k about how hard I’m working, instead of being able to move towards retirement?”

Once Michael declared that he was “done talking about this,” she became even more frustrated and eventually stormed away from the family table.

“The bottom line is you are so f–kin’ entitled,” Simone shouted at Michael as she walked off. “I’m done! I don’t owe you a motherf–king thing from here … I’ve given you everything I have to give!”

In an unexpected turn of events, Cecil actually sided with their son in the argument.

“Michael’s point is still a valid one,” he chimed in. “We are blessed. We are in a situation where we can help … He said that he thinks every day about what he can do to be able to give back to you.”

As the conversation continued, Dr. Simone vented that “it’s always three against one” in their household, with her being the “lone man out.”

“If I’m dead before he finishes law school, then what?” she fired back at Cecil’s claim that Michael would repay her someday. “You can’t speak for me ’cause you don’t think like me.”

As the drama continues, take a sneak peek at what else you can expect from Dr. Simone and her family on Married to Medicine Season 12.

Sutton Stracke doesn’t think Dorit Kemsley should return to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills for its upcoming 16th season.

As she also reflected on her spat with Dorit, 49, at Rachel Zoe‘s house over her efforts to have her sit down and reconcile with Kyle Richards, 57, Sutton appeared on Jeff Lewis‘ radio, where she, without naming names, responded to a question about who she felt should not be a part of the show moving forward.

“Well, I’m just not gonna name names. I’m not gonna do that,” Sutton, 54, first said on the April 2 episode of SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live.

Then, signaling Dorit’s ongoing lateness, Sutton described her castmate as “challenging.”

“I find one personality in particular challenging, not because she’s late all the time. Just because … It’s just difficult for me. That’s just a personality thing for me,” she explained. 

Although Jeff, 56, said he felt Dorit was “incredibly unlikeable” this season, his co-host praised her bilingual skills, and Sutton agreed, offering additional compliments.

“That girl can speak some Italian. She’s beautiful, and I think she’s very smart, and I love when she speaks Italian,” she concluded.

Meanwhile, on the April 9 episode of the RHOBH: After Show, Sutton said that when it came to her spat with Dorit on Thursday’s episode, she had good intentions.

“I was really trying to not be confrontational, but come from a very sincere, calm place … I was really making an effort … I wanted a friendship with Dorit, truly. So, I felt like if I was honest with my feelings in that moment, that it would help,” she explained. “[But] Dorit did not want to leave her conversation with this woman to speak to me, and she was angry about it. She didn’t want to deal with me, which was showing me exactly that she doesn’t want to have a real friendship with me.”

“Why would you be that angry?” she asked. “She was not having it … [And] it was upsetting for me, and that’s okay.”

After Dorit was seen shutting Sutton down, which Kyle said she “would not have [done] to [Bozoma ‘Boz’ Saint John],” Dorit revealed where she was coming from.

“She came on the dance floor. I was like, having fun. And Sutton comes over. I was like, ‘Oh my God, what the f*ck?’” she recalled. “You know what she told me she was mad at? That I turned my body and was directing it to Rachel. It was so f*cking ridiculous, and she wanted an apology. I was like, ‘You know what? I’m not even going to challenge [her].’ I was like, ‘I’m so sorry.’”

“The problem is, I know what she’s doing. I know it. So, it’s like, really? I’m supposed to play along?” Dorit added. “[She was] trying to grasp at straws.”
