The article contains an appeal to authority. The author cites a statement made by Dorit Kemsley on Instagram without critically examining its validity or providing context beyond what the celebrity said. There is also an example of inflammatory rhetoric in the phrase 'speculated that her marriage was on the rocks'. This suggests a sensationalized tone rather than an objective reporting style. No other formal or informal fallacies were found in the text.

Deception
(50%)
The author uses emotional manipulation by quoting a fan's question and then having Dorit Kemsley respond with 'S*** happens. It's called life- try it sometime.' This response is intended to dismiss the fan's question and convey frustration or indifference. The author also engages in selective reporting by only mentioning Dorit Kemsley's response without providing any context about the fan's question or intent.
But, DK seemingly didn’t take too kindly to the phrasing,
we were. S*** happens. It’s called life- try it sometime.
Fallacies
(85%)
The author uses the informal fallacy of appeals to ignorance when they state 'the details won't all come out until the new season of Housewives airs.' This implies that because the details have not been publicly disclosed, they do not exist or are not important. However, this is a flawed assumption and does not hold up to logical scrutiny.
the details won't all come out until the new season of Housewives airs.
