Speaker 1: So wait, so who were the good friends you had
Speaker 1: on the show. I feel like you became you weren't
Speaker 1: really friendly with Kim, as you said, but then you
Speaker 1: became kind of good friends because you're in the in
Speaker 1: the game together, right.
Speaker 2: Kim and I lived in the same neighborhood, so we
Speaker 2: were neighbors.
Speaker 1: But you didn't become really good friends ever. We were
Speaker 1: the show for the show.
Speaker 2: Before the show, we were we already knew each other.
Speaker 1: But then when it seemed like you were freaking frack,
Speaker 1: it was for the show.
Speaker 2: Yes and no, okay, because Kim and I had a relationship.
Speaker 2: I brought her to the production to meet her so
Speaker 2: that she could be on the show. We weren't as close,
Speaker 2: you know, we were, Okay, we were the best friend Yeah,
Speaker 2: say again Michelle.
Speaker 1: Okay, so Michelle is ten, she's your best friend. That's
Speaker 1: to ten. Someone you don't know is zero? What was Kim? Seven?
Speaker 2: No? Maybe a five? Oh? Okay, so you know we
Speaker 2: talked on the phone. We trained with the same trainer.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: You know we've had drinks before and been out to
Speaker 2: eat together before. Our kids would go to the same school.
Speaker 2: We lived in the same neighborhood, that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: What was Cynthia friendship?
Speaker 2: That felt? It was? Cynthia and I were really close.
Speaker 1: Like nine, yeah, okay, so and you're from Michelle. I
Speaker 1: met her like she's in your circle.
Speaker 2: They both were in my wedding.
Speaker 1: And so through the show you fell out, which I
Speaker 1: don't have to ask you why because it's because of
Speaker 1: the show and that. But you met on the show, right.
Speaker 2: We met on the show. Yeah, Actually Cynthia came on
Speaker 2: the show through me. You know how they have somebody
Speaker 2: that you're kind of connected to. They had me to
Speaker 2: meet Cynthia before our season started. I met her. She
Speaker 2: and I went out to dinner, and the next thing
Speaker 2: I know, she was my friend that I was bringing
Speaker 2: on the show.
Speaker 1: Which, by the way, what a mistake. You're like me.
Speaker 1: I used to work overtime in ways that I didn't
Speaker 1: need to, and casting would call me and I'd call
Speaker 1: up twenty different people and think about who's good and.
Speaker 2: I don't know why I was doing that, And closer
Speaker 2: towards the end, I started saying, don't ask me. I
Speaker 2: don't know anyone. Because I felt like they would bring
Speaker 2: the girls would come on, then turn them against you.
Speaker 1: No, I'm just right. When you're in the beginning, you're like,
Speaker 1: I want to go to this restaurant. It's important that
Speaker 1: we do this scene, that we do that at the end.
Speaker 1: Who gives a shit casting yourself? Why am I doing
Speaker 1: your job?
Speaker 2: I don't know. I did all that, cast the whole entire.
Speaker 1: Show, right, So, but it's because you're not getting paid
Speaker 1: for that, but you're working. It's work.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So Cynthia was the was my real friend. I mean,
Speaker 2: we became very close. We at least I thought so,
Speaker 2: you know, so much so that we talked our day
Speaker 2: every day. We traveled together. We both lived in Atlanta.
Speaker 2: We double dated with our husband. You know, we did
Speaker 2: things about ourselves. She was one of my bridemaids in
Speaker 2: my wedding. We really had a we we had holidays together.
Speaker 2: I actually thought that she was like my sister.
Speaker 1: I don't obviously know her, I don't even know if
Speaker 1: I've met her, but I like her. She seems like
Speaker 1: a good person. Is she a good person?
Speaker 2: Well that's what I thought.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you saw her, you saw her recently?
Speaker 2: Yes, I bumped into her a couple of days ago,
Speaker 2: and I've bumped into her, you know, here and there.
Speaker 2: But I bumped into her two days ago at an
Speaker 2: event and we really laughed, laughed about I called myself
Speaker 2: getting her together. I started reading her about things that
Speaker 2: she had said in the press. We went through that
Speaker 2: whole thing and then we just laughed and laughed. It
Speaker 2: was really good seeing her.
Speaker 1: So it's clean.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's clean. No, I've always said to people, even
Speaker 2: in interviews, I'm always going to tell you the truth.
Speaker 2: But the deal is, if I saw her some we
Speaker 2: would never be close like that again.
Speaker 1: Ever that's fine because.
Speaker 2: I could never trust that process ever again with her. However,
Speaker 2: if I saw her somewhere, I could laugh with her,
Speaker 2: I could have a drink with her, I could work
Speaker 2: with her. We just won't be close like.
Speaker 1: And you enjoy her. And it got too deep, and
Speaker 1: then it went it went to you, well, we work
Speaker 1: on the same show, right, And my question is the
Speaker 1: thing is she's still in the cycle even though she's
Speaker 1: not on the show, My girl, she's still.
Speaker 2: In the cycle because she goes back over there and
Speaker 2: sit and look for free. Now.
Speaker 1: I don't know that part, okay, because people say she's
Speaker 1: showing up on the show, and I literally said, I
Speaker 1: don't know why Denise Richards would go on even for
Speaker 1: a meal on the show. If there's no upside, they're
Speaker 1: going to use you, they're going to promote you. That's
Speaker 1: what they did. Dig Jill's aron with the funeral, what
Speaker 1: she wasn't paid for, and it's all over the promos
Speaker 1: and then you're exploited for no money and you don't
Speaker 1: know how it's going to turn out, meaning they could try.
Speaker 2: I do know that girls go on the show and
Speaker 2: work for Marlowe worked on the show for years without pay.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. There are some that and I was.
Speaker 2: Very involved in her getting some pay. When she finally
Speaker 2: got paid, I spoke up and said, you know, marlow
Speaker 2: need to get paid, Like how dare you guys have
Speaker 2: Marlowe working on this show like four or five seasons,
Speaker 2: probably longer than that with zero dollars and she worked
Speaker 2: the entire time. Well also that traveled with us in everything.
Speaker 1: That's the cow and the milk. Literally, I mean, you
Speaker 1: have no leverage once you've already given it away for free.
Speaker 1: You gave it away on the first night. Now they're
Speaker 1: gonna take it whenever they want. Yeah, that's really just
Speaker 1: messed up. That's fucked up totally.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they know better than that. But they sitting working
Speaker 2: and you're making all this money out for them and
Speaker 2: don't even give them anything. That's not even cool.
Speaker 1: Well its work, yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: But Cynthia and I our relationship is.
Speaker 1: That, by the way, for the reality reckoning that'll come
Speaker 1: out interesting people that actually worked and had to be
Speaker 1: places on time and our schedule and no pay and
Speaker 1: no pay that I didn't even and I think about
Speaker 1: that for the kids. But that's interesting for the people.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, the next weeks are going to be very interesting
Speaker 1: in this reality reckoning, I think, and I stay the course.
Speaker 1: I still know I'm right. I look around and what
Speaker 1: I've realized since seeing you, and I won't say who
Speaker 1: the people are the real power, the real entertainment industry power.
Speaker 1: They fully are on board and respect what I'm doing.
Speaker 1: It's the people in the middle. It's like the garbage
Speaker 1: can production people that are scared because people very recently
Speaker 1: have said to me that they're all told not to
Speaker 1: associate with me because the powers that be a Bravo
Speaker 1: are making all the calls Andy I have gotten.
Speaker 2: Well, I just linked just bumped into Cynthia two days
Speaker 2: ago and she's not even on the show.
Speaker 1: I forgot.
Speaker 2: I've heard that, you know, yeah.
Speaker 1: You could tell me what did she say?
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, I wouldn't tell you. She didn't
Speaker 2: say anything dealing with this, Okay. I know people have
Speaker 2: reached out to her since she and I bumped into
Speaker 2: each other, just trying to figure out what we were
Speaker 2: talking about, what we were doing, what was I saying.
Speaker 2: And I've also heard in the machine, yes, yes, I've
Speaker 2: also heard that those girls were told to not like
Speaker 2: talk to me, and I'm sure they were told not
Speaker 2: to talk.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: I was also told they was just did not bring
Speaker 2: my name up on the show on the Housewives show,
Speaker 2: like don't say my name? Oh no, come around. And
Speaker 2: they also heard they said, don't bring up, don't bash Andy,
Speaker 2: don't you know, don't associate with me, all that kind
Speaker 2: of stuff. And that's that's you know, so how can
Speaker 2: you have a friendship one? And that's just really messed up? Though.
Speaker 1: Well, Andy's been making the rounds making phone calls saying,
Speaker 1: I hope you're not doing this thing with Bethany, which
Speaker 1: is like it's spaghetti against the wall. It's not going anywhere,
Speaker 1: so that he's making the calls though, and the producers
Speaker 1: or the production companies, they're making the rounds. That's those
Speaker 1: are the people. So the Andy's doing the marching orders,
Speaker 1: and so are the producers. And I love it, I
Speaker 1: love it deeply. But the powers that be, the people
Speaker 1: that run the multi billion dollar companies, they're coming up
Speaker 1: to me and saying, how can we talk? How can
Speaker 1: we sit down? How can we make this right?
Speaker 2: Well, how can you believe that these people aren't playing
Speaker 2: both sides?
Speaker 1: Which people the ponds or the big people, the big
Speaker 1: people or the big people, the big people, they're just no.
Speaker 1: They they're nervous because they don't want to get targeted
Speaker 1: and they want to play ball, which I'm for because
Speaker 1: it's about change. It's not about only gotcha, it's about
Speaker 1: don't be fucking stupid. I'll come in and tell you
Speaker 1: what needs to change. So you're either on this train
Speaker 1: or get out of the way. It's not going to work.
Speaker 2: Well, how did you feel after you and I talked
Speaker 2: and and our podcast came out, and then all of
Speaker 2: a sudden, on Andy's show, Watch what Happens Live the Ladies,
Speaker 2: I don't know the ladies their names. I think they're
Speaker 2: New York housewives. Yeah. When they started saying that you
Speaker 2: they felt like you were I.
Speaker 1: Don't know, the most irrelevant housewife.
Speaker 2: Yeah, of all times.
Speaker 1: Right, It's it's like, but it's called if you're going
Speaker 1: to take a right, the most right, if you're going
Speaker 1: to take a shot at this be, you better not
Speaker 1: miss Andy. You got to get creative. Like that was
Speaker 1: a little too obvious, Like we both know that. The
Speaker 1: producer question, what does that mean? That irrelevant means I'm
Speaker 1: not it? I'm no Like relevant is like you're Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're very, you're powerful, you're current your topic.
Speaker 2: Right, Okay, so.
Speaker 1: So say I'm the ugliest of all time, But you
Speaker 1: cannot say that I'm not relevant. I mean that's ridiculous.
Speaker 1: Like so say anything. I'm dumb. I I don't know
Speaker 1: what you want to say. I'm me. But that's so
Speaker 1: they just they took a shot at this be, but
Speaker 1: it didn't land because the audience knew, just like the
Speaker 1: last time, the audience knew, I was being ambushed. So
Speaker 1: you're gonna do it, you better do it right.
Speaker 2: So are these New York housewives those girls? Yeah?
Speaker 1: But also you can't blame them because they.
Speaker 2: Are not the I know, and also they gonna pick it,
Speaker 2: you know, and they probably you know, given like who's
Speaker 2: who do you think is there?
Speaker 1: Or they're just smart enough to know that I ironically
Speaker 1: am so relevant that by mentioning me, they got a
Speaker 1: week oppressed, which is what did happen? Yeah, so they're
Speaker 1: you know, it's a small show. They're getting not a
Speaker 1: ton of ratings. They gotta squeeze that. They gotta squez
Speaker 1: that lemon, get all the juice out, they gotta try
Speaker 1: this is it? It could be. I don't think there's
Speaker 1: gonna be another New York. I don't know what the
Speaker 1: franchise is going to do because the shit's coming down.
Speaker 1: And as I talk to all of these women, they're
Speaker 1: calling me and they're saying a couple things that are
Speaker 1: very cult like they're like very scared, and it's weird.
Speaker 1: I've been deprogrammed from this experience way longer than even you.
Speaker 1: You still had like you still have like PTSD. So
Speaker 1: like I felt a little bit like almost like bad,
Speaker 1: like you had identify with your captor, and like I
Speaker 1: felt like this loyalty to Andy that I was betraying
Speaker 1: when he's never been loyal to me, as I said,
Speaker 1: So think about the other girls that are closer in
Speaker 1: the machine, and they all have so much that's damaging
Speaker 1: against Andy and the machine. But they have this like
Speaker 1: sort of Stockholm syndrome wherey've identified with their captor and
Speaker 1: they feel this guilt and it's because they're still programmed.
Speaker 1: And each of them say that they've been promised like
Speaker 1: shows and that they're scared to bite the hand that
Speaker 1: feed them because they're gonna get these shows that I
Speaker 1: could tell you they're not going to get. And each
Speaker 1: of them thinks that they have a best friend relationship
Speaker 1: with Andy, like they're his best friend, you know. Tam
Speaker 1: Or the other day said, you know, he's like my brother.
Speaker 1: Don't you go to your brother's house with Thanksgiving? Like
Speaker 1: what do you mean he's like your brother. You've never
Speaker 1: met his friends, Like, he's not your brother. But every
Speaker 1: woman Jill really bonded with Andy on Judaism and other
Speaker 1: housewives on different things, whether it's sex or money or
Speaker 1: with he and I. He always want to hear about businesses.
Speaker 1: What am I doing in business? Like what am I doing?
Speaker 1: Money wise?
Speaker 2: Like you too?
Speaker 1: Right, So we all thought he had a different relationship,
Speaker 1: and he feeds off that because he has all the power,
Speaker 1: and we all get so dirty, and he stays clean.
Speaker 1: And they get everybody else to rat each other out
Speaker 1: and to kill each other and to whack each other,
Speaker 1: but they remain clean and they thrive on the power.
Speaker 1: I watched that show, and he remains clean. Well, not anymore,
Speaker 1: not anymore, not anymore. That's a reed.
Speaker 2: That is a reed.
Speaker 1: That that was not.
Speaker 2: No, that was all.
Speaker 1: I mean, what else? What else? That was?
Speaker 2: That was it? That was all in
