1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 1: Canceled after five very successful seasons on the hit reality 2 00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:08,119 Speaker 1: show The Real Housewives of Orange County. Kelly Dodd was 3 00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:12,760 Speaker 1: fired from the show for being a conservative. She didn't 4 00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:16,079 Speaker 1: follow the COVID narrative set by the left, and she 5 00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:19,320 Speaker 1: voiced her thoughts on social media. Bravo didn't like it. 6 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,279 Speaker 1: She was also seen wearing a drunk Wives Matter hat. 7 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:26,639 Speaker 1: You heard me write, a drunk Wives Matter hut, obviously 8 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 1: a play on Black Lives Matter, but it's hilarious, right, 9 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,159 Speaker 1: It's a joke. Isn't she allowed to have an opinion? 10 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,200 Speaker 1: I guess not if you're the Royal Housewives. I guess 11 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 1: not if you're Bravo. Everyone has to be a liberal 12 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,159 Speaker 1: or I guess those are the only views you're you're 13 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 1: allowed to espouse on that network.

No one knows about this, 43 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: and UM, well, yeah, you found him at last, so 44 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 1: it's all good. I know. Yeah, I say the best 45 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: for last. So anyway, Uh, they came to me and 46 00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: I went through the whole process of trying out, and 47 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: they came to my house. They did the last interview. 48 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 1: They told me that I got the position. My ex 49 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,359 Speaker 1: husband said they don't. They didn't want me to film 50 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,799 Speaker 1: with my daughter, so they didn't want me, and they 51 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: wanted Lydia. Believe that season ten I believe. Then I 52 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 1: came back to my ex husband. Someone tipped off production 53 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,639 Speaker 1: Evolution and they said would you like to try out 54 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: a second time? And I was like, yeah, sure, why not? 55 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,920 Speaker 1: And so I tried out the second time. I was 56 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: building a house on the beach, and uh, my mom 57 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: moved in with me. My mom always lived with me 58 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 1: um since I moved to San Francisco to Orange Town 59 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: in two thousand and eleven. And they liked the whole 60 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: dynamic of my mom and my brother and having this big, 61 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: huge house on the beach and you know, married to 62 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: the former CEO of leap Fog his educational toys, and 63 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: my daughter, and uh, they hired me. So I got 64 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: to so, Rick, were you did you do the last season? 65 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: I thought, I swear, I thought I read something that 66 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: you weren't. But then I swear to God, I remember 67 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: seeing you. It was towards the end of my career 68 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: at Fox News, and they reluctantly agreed to let me film. 69 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,359 Speaker 1: I think it was eight a maximum of eight episodes, 70 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: and it was a short season to begin with. So 71 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: I was in I don't know, eight of the twelve episodes, 72 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 1: but not in the reunion. I guess you may have 73 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: mentioned us, but I would appear for here and there, 74 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: you know, for a short time. But it was a 75 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: weird season because they were filming we've we've film a 76 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,720 Speaker 1: lot of it on our cell phones. It's because of COVID. 77 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 1: So yeah that when Rick was on with me, we 78 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 1: had a self film. They shut down production. You know, 79 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 1: everything was lockdown, shut down, And it wasn't a great 80 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: season because everything was locked down, Like everything was shut down, lockdown. 81 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: You still got far better ratings than the current season did. 82 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 1: After they let me go. Yeah, I could point that 83 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,919 Speaker 1: out and Rick, you know you've covered war zones, you 84 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: worked on the news for a long time. What were 85 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 1: you sort of thinking as COVID was hitting. You know, 86 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: I was covering it. I was still in New York 87 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 1: City at the time when when the pandemic hit and 88 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: all the shutdowns, and um, fortunately for me, Kelly was 89 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,159 Speaker 1: was with me when it happened and had trouble getting 90 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 1: back to California, so she went up staying with me 91 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: for weeks at a time, almost solid for three months. 92 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 1: And we actually took advantage of the situation by going 93 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: out into the city and walking the streets and using 94 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: city bikes and riding all over the place. We you know, 95 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 1: we we explored all the neighborhoods, and both of us 96 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 1: were really upset about what was happening around us. Uh, 97 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 1: you know, it was kind of hard for me to 98 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: cover the story and not in ject my personal feeling, 99 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: but you know, Kelly didn't have those same restrictions, so um, 100 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 1: she was kind of voicing what I was feeling, which 101 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: is that the whole thing was overblown, that the lockdown 102 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: didn't work at the mass mandates and the social distancing. 103 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: I mean, come on, it was ridiculous and it hurt 104 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,599 Speaker 1: people and giving people government checks so they wouldn't have 105 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: to go to work. Um was people were making more 106 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: money not going to work, and they would have made 107 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,359 Speaker 1: if they if they kept their jobs for a while 108 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: at least. And um so there was no incentive to 109 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 1: go back to work for a lot of people. And 110 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: it was frustrating for me to see everything shut down 111 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,559 Speaker 1: and everything, Uh, people suffering and kids not going to school. 112 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: And Kelly felt the same way, and you know, I 113 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: think I voiced it though I was a little bit louder. 114 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: I wasn't scared. I mean, everybody was in their house. 115 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 1: It was like people were washing their vegetables in the dishwasher, 116 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 1: and it seemed like it was like the end of 117 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: the world, that we were going to get this disease 118 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: and everyone was going to just drop that. That's what 119 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 1: people thought, and I was like, no, it's the flu. 120 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,040 Speaker 1: I said that. On the show. People got mad. They 121 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: said I was insensitive. Uh that you know, I said, 122 00:06:55,120 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: wearing the mask. It doesn't work the vaccine when a vaccine, 123 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: go get vaccine, but you could still get COVID getting 124 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: the vaccine. People didn't like that. Uh, there was a 125 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,359 Speaker 1: lot of people, and I think it's mostly like the 126 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: far left were they were upset, they were angry with you. 127 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: And I think Kelly was saying what a lot of 128 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 1: people were thinking, but we're too scared to say themselves. 129 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 1: And I think Kelly got in trouble with Bravo. One 130 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: of the reasons she was she wasn't offered another contract 131 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: is because she was so bold and kept it so 132 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 1: real during a very fragile time where people weren't supposed 133 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: to speak out. People were getting censored and censured and 134 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 1: you know, kicked off of social media platforms for for 135 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: speaking their minds and for sharing information that it might 136 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 1: go against what the government was telling everyone. And they 137 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: were saying, you're spreading misinformation. So I don't know. You know, 138 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: you have a freedom of speech. Who's to say what 139 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: information is correct and my information is wrong? I don't 140 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: get it. I think that what you were saying was 141 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: was on on the mark right. And Kelly, it's your 142 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 1: to your point. You know, there is such a thing 143 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: as freedom of speech. But ultimately Bravo ended up letting 144 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 1: you go. Why do you think they let you go? Um? I, well, 145 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: you know, I think they'd let me go because I 146 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: said a lot of things that upset some people. You know, 147 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 1: I was, I was frustrated, and I was angry with 148 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: the lockdowns and the mask and you know, I was 149 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: really upset about my daughter not going to school, like 150 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 1: these kids who almost went through two years of not 151 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 1: learning as we're behind. Like it's absolutely you know, businesses 152 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: are being closed shut down. Uh people weren't you know, 153 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: able to make an income? Uh you know it's it's 154 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 1: really We're starting to make me mad. And and people 155 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: are getting those government chestick Rick said. And so many um, 156 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 1: so many family owned stores and bars and restaurants had 157 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 1: to close. It was I was just upset about the 158 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 1: whole thing and afraid to say it. And I think 159 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,680 Speaker 1: you know, I was given a drunk wives Matter hat 160 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: at my wedding shower and I wore it for thirty 161 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 1: seconds or pictures, just like I posted it. It was 162 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: a gag gift, you know, it was a play on words. 163 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 1: I was getting married, and I didn't buy it. I 164 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,599 Speaker 1: never warred again. Meanwhile, the movement, I was accused of 165 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: mocking the movement. You know, Brabo called me and said, 166 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: you're mocking the movement. When they put so much effort 167 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 1: and um commercials on the BLM, and and uh, I 168 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: got all kinds of trouble. And you know, the BLM, 169 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 1: they spent tens of millions of donations they received from 170 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 1: some of their leaders. You know, they spent millions of 171 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 1: on their money on their homes for themselves and their families, 172 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 1: and they paid each other for you know, from the funds. Allegedly, 173 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: you know, some big corporations stopped donating. Uh, they're under investigation. 174 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,200 Speaker 1: And you know, and I'm the one who got in 175 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 1: trouble and called a racist. It wasn't just about that, though, 176 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,559 Speaker 1: and you know it was it was about you saying 177 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,439 Speaker 1: a lot of things that upset a lot of people 178 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 1: at a time when you weren't you know, no one 179 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,679 Speaker 1: was being allowed to say anything, and you know you 180 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 1: were you weren't holding back, right, you know. And and 181 00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 1: I caused him a lot of grief. I caused him 182 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 1: a lot of trouble. They worked over time. Yeah, yeah, 183 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: you know, I keep responsibility for things I said. You know, 184 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 1: I was angry and frustrated, and lots of people spoke 185 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 1: out and I got censored and punished for it. You know, 186 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,680 Speaker 1: most of everybody on my show. I kept quiet. They 187 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 1: didn't want to get in trouble. Quick break back with 188 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 1: Rick and Kelly on the other side. I saw you say, uh. 189 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,079 Speaker 1: I think it was on Instagram. It was like a 190 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 1: back and forth with a fan, and you said you're 191 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,080 Speaker 1: fired because I'm conservative. You know, I think that's I 192 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 1: think that's I think that's probably a lot of it. 193 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 1: I mean, I think there's all. I think there's a 194 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: lot of you know, I cause a lot of headaches. 195 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 1: You know, you did the politics Factory. I think so, 196 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 1: But a lot of people think so, you know. I mean, 197 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 1: I don't know. But just for the record, the ratings 198 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 1: were a lot better last season when I was on 199 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 1: the show. You know, they said that it was a boycott. Um, 200 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 1: you know that there was a boycott against me, and 201 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 1: people are starting to turn off because they got the work. 202 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 1: They said that, but they but clearly there was there 203 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 1: was no effective boycott last season. There was not. It 204 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: was a bunch of nonsense from a very small, loud minority. 205 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 1: And and none of these things I said. I got punished, 206 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 1: you know, sixteen thousand dollars I got punished for. Um, 207 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,319 Speaker 1: We're never on the show. It was just me venting 208 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 1: off camera on social media. But I get it. I 209 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 1: was too real, you know, But isn't that the point? 210 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 1: And how many conservatives do you think are on the 211 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,679 Speaker 1: different franchises? I mean, how many housewives do you think 212 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,559 Speaker 1: are conservative? I think I think a lot of people, oh, 213 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 1: on the franchises. I mean Orange County, Orange County is 214 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:44,680 Speaker 1: without naming names, without naming names, Orange County is very conservatives. Yeah, 215 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 1: very very No, they're scared, they're so they're scared to death. 216 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, uh, they don't want to talk 217 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 1: about it. They don't want to because once you talk 218 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 1: about it, you lose half your band base. So they're 219 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 1: not stupid. They don't want to lose half their band 220 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 1: baidse Bay and it's not you cannot it's not the 221 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 1: Real Housewives anymore. And I think a lot of my 222 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: conservatives I have, you know, a pretty big band base, 223 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 1: bigger than Gina and uh and and Emily, and you know, 224 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,320 Speaker 1: they fired me, and so I think a lot of 225 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 1: the the conservatives were turned off by Bravo. You know, 226 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: they don't want to watch they like you said, you know, 227 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 1: I worked in the news. I watched the news. I 228 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 1: want mindless fun TV where I don't have to watch politics, 229 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 1: and I think Bravo brought politics in there, and I 230 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 1: think it's turned off a lot of people. And ratings 231 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 1: for New York took a nose drive in the ratings 232 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 1: for Orange County with the worse in the history of 233 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 1: that franchise. This past senging and then and then they 234 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 1: bumped up a little bit at the last of the 235 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: final finale. Still is a million lessons and that aren't 236 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 1: I mean, you're gonna understand not a million. I don't know. Yeah, 237 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,079 Speaker 1: but you have been a stand when we were on 238 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: there was the riots, the Capital riots were going on, 239 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 1: the private ential thing was going on. Uh, you know, 240 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 1: there was a lot of viewership going towards the news. Yeah, 241 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 1: the ratings last season was remarkable, really that the year. 242 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 1: Last season, the ratings were over a million almost every 243 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:22,080 Speaker 1: single week, and the ratings for TV News weren't an 244 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 1: all time high because it was during the run up 245 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 1: to the election between uh, the president, former President Trump 246 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:29,960 Speaker 1: and and President Biden. It was a run up to 247 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: the election, so the TV News I'm sure you remember 248 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 1: at least of the ratings for the News during that 249 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 1: stress of October November was like ten twelve, sixteen million 250 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 1: a night between CNN, MS and Fox and and Bravo 251 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,320 Speaker 1: still was Orange County was still getting over a million 252 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 1: viewers every week. It was remarkable considering the competition. And 253 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 1: this season they didn't have that competition, and they were 254 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 1: they were down into the seven hundreds. They had five 255 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: of the lowest rated shows in the history of the franchise. 256 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 1: It was it was pathetic, and Kelly wasn't there, And 257 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: I think a lot of viewers missed her, missed her realness, 258 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,200 Speaker 1: missed her um willingness to speak her mind, and so 259 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 1: what what what made her so popular? Also, I think 260 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,080 Speaker 1: god or wanted to kick off the show and Kelly, 261 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 1: you look at someone like Andy Cohen. So you know, 262 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 1: I watched Bravo. I'll watch what Happens Live afterwards. Sometimes 263 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 1: he's clearly like a raging liberal. So I mean, how 264 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 1: much do you think he projects his own views on 265 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: the network and the different Real Housewives franchises. Oh, I 266 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 1: think he totally pushes his forces his agenda on people. 267 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 1: And that's why on my reunion when I got into him, 268 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 1: like into an argument with them, I said, people being 269 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 1: He's like people call you uneducated, they say that you're missing, 270 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 1: you spreading misinformation, you know this, and this, I mean 271 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 1: clearly putting his political views on me. And I said, 272 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 1: that's funny, because I get tons of d M where 273 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 1: people don't want to see a political show. You know 274 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 1: that you're constantly shoving your viewpoints down people's throats. And 275 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 1: that's not what Bravo is is. It's not a TV, 276 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: it's not CNN, it's not MSNBC. It is to watch 277 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 1: mindless fun TV, not not to get into politics. And 278 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 1: I said that, and I got fired. I got a right. 279 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 1: One of the reasons I got fired that that was 280 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 1: Kelly in a nutshells he wasn't afraid to speak your mind, 281 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 1: even on camera to the you know, the facto boss 282 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 1: of the whole franchise le network. Like I mean, he's not, 283 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 1: but he is. You know, he's the face and the name, 284 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 1: and she's still he is the executive producer, so he calls, 285 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 1: he can call the shot. In my opinion is there's 286 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 1: room for that on the show. They need Kelly. They 287 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 1: need people like Kelly. They need that spirit and that 288 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 1: realness and that you know, ability to be true and 289 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 1: stand up to others and and make some entertaining TV 290 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 1: and it was it was bland and suff this year 291 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 1: because because Kelly wasn't there and everyone was kissing one 292 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 1: particular housewives. But and and and not um not being 293 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 1: truthful the team is that these ladies need a job. 294 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 1: They get paid handsomely for working part time. They thought 295 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 1: that Heather Debro was going to come back and save 296 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 1: the show. Dave couldn't be true and real to themselves 297 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 1: and hence that's why the show sucked this year. I 298 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: mean it's just point blank. I mean everybody that I 299 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 1: talked to, you know, I have seven hundred and eighty 300 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 1: four thousand followers on Instagram and then two d and 301 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 1: something like two hundred thirty thousand, a total of a 302 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 1: million followers. I get constantly like, I'm so sick of 303 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 1: Bravo putting their politics involved. You know, this is not 304 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 1: what we're watching for. But you know, I am grateful 305 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 1: for the time I had on the show. You know, 306 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 1: it was an amazing experience. I made great friends and 307 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 1: made great money at the time. But yeah, I'm also 308 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 1: focusing on the future. Kelly, do you know of anyone 309 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 1: um on one of the or any of the housewives 310 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: who maybe said left winning things or you know, have 311 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 1: posted about liberal ideology. Have any of them gotten in 312 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 1: trouble with Bravo for any of the things that they 313 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 1: have publicly said if it's left leading. No, Look at 314 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:09,200 Speaker 1: Lisa Arenna. Look at Lisa Arena. I mean she went 315 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:14,159 Speaker 1: all balls to the walls. Duranda Medley, Bramlin did that. 316 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,439 Speaker 1: She'd never gotten trouble. She was all about the left. 317 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:22,159 Speaker 1: They never got charged anything because they were posting about 318 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,719 Speaker 1: they were following the lead. They were, they were following 319 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 1: the agenda at the time. You know, Dranda Medley, all 320 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,879 Speaker 1: she does is she talks about politics. She gets a 321 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 1: freaking serious XM radio show on on on Radio Andy. 322 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,159 Speaker 1: I didn't get let go from New York, but I 323 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 1: think that was that was for the reasons. But he 324 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 1: he rewarded her by giving her a slot on serious 325 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 1: XM Radio. Andy. Now, because she's so far left, you 326 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 1: think for one second that he has one. And I 327 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 1: don't call myself. I called myself a libertarian because you know, 328 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:59,159 Speaker 1: I'm physically conservative and I'm you know, I'm socially liberal. 329 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 1: So I believe in a hand up, you know, I 330 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 1: believe that we should help old people. I believe you 331 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 1: should pay our taxes, but I believe, you know, parents 332 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 1: black taxes. I believe, and if you work hard, you 333 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 1: get rewarded for your work. You know. I don't believe 334 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,879 Speaker 1: getting all your money to the government and having them 335 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 1: tell you how to live your life. These left people 336 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 1: are left woke, they do I I don't believe in that, 337 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 1: And it seems like there's not even one moderate on 338 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:31,160 Speaker 1: serious XM Radio Andy. I mean, I listen to these 339 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 1: people and they're like, you know this, Miss Michelle Collins show. 340 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 1: She's like, yeah, you know, I believe in free speach, 341 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:38,680 Speaker 1: but I don't believe that you should say this. It's 342 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 1: like it's like hypothaesy on so many levels, and it's 343 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,680 Speaker 1: like it's hard to listen to. And it's like, isn't 344 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 1: that discrimination? Is that discrimination that you're you're not allowed 345 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,879 Speaker 1: to to to have a difference of opinions? I mean, 346 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 1: isn't that what we have? Is that what we live 347 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 1: in America? It's just it just boggles my mind. I 348 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:03,119 Speaker 1: just that I thought that Drunk Wives Matter hat was funny. 349 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 1: It was to play on word. It was just funny, 350 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:09,119 Speaker 1: and they love it. They loved. They love to use 351 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 1: these buzz works. They love to say rights, I am Mexican, 352 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 1: I am my full Mexican, I'm thirty percent Native American. 353 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:18,920 Speaker 1: I had I showed all my twenty three in me, 354 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,200 Speaker 1: you know, and it's like, I'm the minority here, and 355 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 1: you know I was, I'm a walking rainbow and for people, 356 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 1: and it's mostly white woke kids that are saying that 357 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:35,920 Speaker 1: I'm I'm racist. It's like it's and it's like Rick's 358 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,919 Speaker 1: daughter is really woke and she's she said, well, you 359 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 1: can't wear that because you're you're what they're called a 360 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 1: white passer buyer. I'm like, what I mean, these people 361 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 1: make up these buzz words. And I'm like, did you 362 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,680 Speaker 1: know that I grew up in a predominantly white neighborhood 363 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 1: and people used to make fun of me that I 364 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 1: was brown skin, you know, black hair that you know, 365 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 1: called me beaner all the time. You know, like does 366 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 1: she understand? Like what? It just it boggles my mind 367 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,640 Speaker 1: that they love to use these buds words as racist, 368 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,920 Speaker 1: you're racist. And by the way, you know, when I 369 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 1: first started the show, they called me a racist because 370 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 1: I was married to Michael at the time and there 371 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 1: was a football a basketball player that was hitting on 372 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,920 Speaker 1: me and I was talking to him, and they when 373 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:24,399 Speaker 1: I came out with the nice guy, they asked him, 374 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:30,119 Speaker 1: do you like black guys? And I said, no, like 375 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,480 Speaker 1: And it had nothing to do with you know, I 376 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 1: thought I was gonna get trouble. I was married. I mean, 377 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 1: I don't date, you know, I think it was it 378 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 1: was And then then they called me a racist because 379 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,439 Speaker 1: I said I don't date black guys. Do you think 380 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 1: I think it was a set up? And do you 381 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:45,919 Speaker 1: It was a total set up. And then you know, 382 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 1: it's like if somebody said, do you do you date Asians? No, 383 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 1: I've never dated an Asian. Doesn't mean I I don't 384 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 1: like Asians, you know, I just these it's I have 385 00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 1: a lot of black friends. I have a lot of 386 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,359 Speaker 1: Asian friends. I have a lot of every color around 387 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,119 Speaker 1: the rainbow. I'm very worldly. I lived in Hong Kong. 388 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 1: It was an easy way for people to criticize you 389 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 1: or or come after you. That's what it was. It 390 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,440 Speaker 1: was just an easy way for them to come after 391 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 1: That hat was a gift you worn for ten seconds. 392 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 1: I can guarantee you because she's never one that had again, 393 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 1: she wouldn't have worn it again. I don't think that 394 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:28,120 Speaker 1: hat was made seven years ago. That hat my girlfriend 395 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 1: had that hat seven years ago, seven years ago, that 396 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: hat was made. That hat was trademark seven years ago 397 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 1: point and it had nothing to do with Black Lives Matter. 398 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 1: But yet, but I still think it's funny. I think 399 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 1: it's funny. Like I I, it's a joke. People need 400 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 1: to take a joke, Everyone needs to lay up. But 401 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 1: that's but that's the problem of where we are today 402 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 1: is everything is so woke. Everyone is so sensitive. You know, Rick, 403 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 1: we talked about sort of the ratings taking a nose dive, 404 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,439 Speaker 1: but we all saw Real Housewives in New York just 405 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 1: completely imploded because the entire last season was so woke, 406 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 1: just shoving all the micro regret, all this crap down 407 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 1: her throats. Like do you think the executives at Bravo 408 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:12,159 Speaker 1: are you know, putting it together? Of okay, you know, 409 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 1: we're injecting all these left wing ideology down people's throats 410 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:17,440 Speaker 1: when they're just trying to have a good time and 411 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 1: the job. Maybe that's why the readings are are taking 412 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,200 Speaker 1: a nose dive. Did you think they figured it out? 413 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 1: They they must have by now, And I had heard 414 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,200 Speaker 1: something before this current season that they were not gonna 415 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 1: they were to avoid bringing politics back into the mix 416 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 1: because they saw what happened. They write, they I mean 417 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,920 Speaker 1: they saw, they saw how badly it hurt them, all 418 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 1: that political talk and all that BLM stuff and all 419 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 1: the you know, the woke stuff and um and that 420 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,639 Speaker 1: that this is supposed to be an entertainment show and 421 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:50,439 Speaker 1: they shouldn't be worried about informing people or trying to 422 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 1: change people's minds about things. I don't know. All I 423 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 1: know is that that Kelly was and he was a 424 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 1: real Housewives. She remains a real house My my real wife. 425 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 1: She's not afraid to speak her mind, and she's she's 426 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,439 Speaker 1: she comes from a very good place. She's got the 427 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:12,119 Speaker 1: biggest heart of anyone I know. She's a warm, wonderful, loving, 428 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 1: giving person. Uh And and it hurts me to see 429 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:21,480 Speaker 1: her criticized or called out for just for saying things 430 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 1: that people are thinking but don't think you're allowed to 431 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 1: say out loud. And you know, that's the beauty of Kelly. 432 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 1: She's she's got no filter and she says what's on 433 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,680 Speaker 1: her mind, and it's gotten her in trouble. But that's 434 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:33,680 Speaker 1: what sad is that on our climate you're not allowed 435 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,479 Speaker 1: to say or do you have any kind of feelings, 436 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,880 Speaker 1: you have to go. Like everybody's scared to be on 437 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 1: these shows now they can't say what they feel and 438 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,160 Speaker 1: you're not allowed to say anything that isn't towards their 439 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 1: narrative or else you'll get punished. You'll get fined, you'll 440 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 1: get fired. I mean, just I'm the prime example. That 441 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 1: doesn't sound very real. Then no quick break, and then 442 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 1: all the questions you've ever wanted to know about the 443 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 1: Housewives stay tuned, Kelly. Do you think Bravo gets it 444 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 1: that you know, maybe you know we're pushing all these 445 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:12,399 Speaker 1: woke policies, woke ideologies. Ratings aren't doing so great. Do 446 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 1: you think they get it? I hope they get it. 447 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:19,360 Speaker 1: I hope they understand that not everybody that watches Bravo 448 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 1: is gay and transgender, and like you know that there 449 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,919 Speaker 1: are a lot of people that are conservatives, you know, 450 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 1: tuning in and watching, well, they are conservative gays and 451 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:33,200 Speaker 1: conservative transgenders too, and a lot of them have come out, 452 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:39,199 Speaker 1: but they do, but they think that their whole you know, 453 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,200 Speaker 1: people are you know, like Andy Cohen said, people are 454 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 1: damn me, there's a boycott, there's this, there's that, because 455 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 1: they're listening to that small, loud group of people that 456 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 1: are woke, broke. But you know, it's like, it's just 457 00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 1: so frustrating and irritating to me that we are flipping 458 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 1: into communist socialism communists. It's just you know, if you're 459 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 1: getting censored. You know, I got shadow band from Twitter, 460 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 1: I got shadow band from UH from UH Instagram, Instagram. 461 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:18,960 Speaker 1: What I love is you get thousands of comments on 462 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 1: our posts, and I love when people write and say 463 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 1: I don't agree with everything you say, but I but 464 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,439 Speaker 1: I love you and support you, and I appreciate that 465 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 1: you're willing to to say what you think, that you're 466 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 1: willing to speak your mind. She gets those all the time. Yeah, 467 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,280 Speaker 1: you know, it's like, why can't we have a difference 468 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,120 Speaker 1: of agreement, Like why I can listen an opinion? Why 469 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,159 Speaker 1: I listen to people all the time and I'm not 470 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 1: saying I'm right, So why can't you respect other opinions 471 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 1: and outlooks on things. I just it's it's so frustrating 472 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 1: and it's so disheartening to see that, you know, I 473 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 1: I got punished for being real. I totally agree. And 474 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 1: before I want to give you guys a chance to 475 00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:59,879 Speaker 1: talk about a lot of things you're working on. Before 476 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 1: you do, I've got to ask you just like basic 477 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 1: questions about the show. I asked on my girlfriends things 478 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 1: that they want to know. So, Kelly, I just want 479 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,119 Speaker 1: to go through some of these questions about, you know, 480 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,119 Speaker 1: just kind of how the show works and just basic 481 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 1: you know, behind the scenes type stuff. Kelly, how scripted 482 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 1: is the show? If that's scripted, it's produced. So you know, 483 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,640 Speaker 1: when you know, you'll you'll do a scene and then 484 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 1: the next time you do another scene, they'll be like, Okay, 485 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,640 Speaker 1: this is what happened. Let's talk about this, so well 486 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,880 Speaker 1: give you talking points. They won't say, hey, say this 487 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 1: or do this, but they'll bring up what happened in 488 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 1: the reminder of you know of that. But it's not scripted. 489 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 1: It's just it's produced. So like like like Shannon and 490 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,359 Speaker 1: the other day, I go, why didn't you say this is? 491 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 1: I did? But they didn't edit it in there. You know, 492 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:54,199 Speaker 1: it's not like it's fully reality obviously, uh, because I 493 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,880 Speaker 1: got censored. But it's not scripted, it's not like you're 494 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 1: you're reading from some mind. And do they ever tell 495 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:05,480 Speaker 1: you you can't say certain things? But if they don't 496 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 1: like them, no, editor, now they don't have to include anything, right, 497 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 1: But no, they've never told me. You know, if I'm 498 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,720 Speaker 1: sitting on you know, in a confessional and I'm sitting 499 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,159 Speaker 1: there and I'm you know, they'll be like can you 500 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 1: say it like this? They'll give me two ways of 501 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 1: like rewarding it or saying it again. But then if 502 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,400 Speaker 1: I don't want to, I don't have to. I'll be like, hey, 503 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,879 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that. Like for instance, they wanted me 504 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,439 Speaker 1: to talk about Shannon's cooking right there, like because I 505 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 1: threw the it away and They're like, say it was disgusting, 506 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:38,199 Speaker 1: and I'm like, it wasn't disgusting. I didn't want to 507 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 1: eat it. Do they ever make you reshoot scenes? Yes, 508 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,679 Speaker 1: they do. They make you reshoot. Yes, I've had that 509 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 1: happen maybe five times where they didn't get the audio clear. 510 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 1: They'll make you do pick ups like what they hear 511 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:57,360 Speaker 1: you correctly, and then they'll you know, they'll reshoot something 512 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:01,840 Speaker 1: that they didn't get. Yeah, They'll they'll have you reshoot things. Yeah, 513 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 1: do you think the editing process is fair. I do. 514 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:06,919 Speaker 1: I think I think the editing process is fair. But 515 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 1: they can pick favorites. They can. They can make one 516 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,840 Speaker 1: person look better and another person look worse if they 517 00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:16,960 Speaker 1: want to, and they do that on occasion. Um right, 518 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,640 Speaker 1: well yeah, so like like Gina, Like Gina has gotten 519 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 1: away with her behavior for four years now, they're just 520 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 1: now showing it. She went after Elizabeth Bargas hardcore when 521 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,399 Speaker 1: we were on there, and they never showed it. They 522 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 1: made her look like an angel, they made her look good, 523 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 1: and it was really frustrating to see. So yeah, I 524 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,680 Speaker 1: think they do play favorites. How long did the confessionals take? 525 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 1: Oh my god? That I think it's like, I think 526 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,719 Speaker 1: the confessionals are like of the show, But how long 527 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 1: do you sit there? For hours? I sit there for hours. 528 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 1: So I'll go in like around eight in the morning 529 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,880 Speaker 1: and I'll get out of there about five. Yeah, and 530 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 1: then and there, I mean, we're in there at least 531 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,800 Speaker 1: once a week, and we're dump finishing once or twice 532 00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:03,720 Speaker 1: a week. And then how do you prepare for the 533 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 1: reunions because those are always you know, very fiery. Everyone's 534 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 1: sort of at each other's throats. How do you prepare 535 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:11,360 Speaker 1: for it? How long did they take take us through 536 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 1: sort of you know reunions and the whole process behind it. Well, 537 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 1: you know you for instance, like Andy Cohen, I knew 538 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 1: Andy Cone was going to come after me for he 539 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:22,719 Speaker 1: was like, you know, you really didn't do anything on 540 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 1: the show, but their social media was atrocious and like 541 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 1: blah blah. I knew he was going to come after me. 542 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 1: So you know, I wasn't gonna let him, you know, 543 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 1: believe me, I wasn't. I wasn't gonna do that. I 544 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 1: was even if I even if I wasn't going to 545 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:42,640 Speaker 1: suck up to him, I was gonna stay true to myself. 546 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 1: I was gonna you know, I wanted to have dignity. 547 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 1: I wanted to be real, and obviously they didn't like it, 548 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,960 Speaker 1: and so I prepared myself for him coming after me. 549 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 1: I actually helped Kelly record the last reunion UM could 550 00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 1: because you know, because I just as a UM as 551 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 1: her husband, as a journalistism, I obviously tracked the show 552 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 1: and I knew there were key points that she was 553 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 1: thinking to have been ready for, and so I talked 554 00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:11,320 Speaker 1: to her about it and we went through some stuff together, 555 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,240 Speaker 1: and you know, obviously I was only there for the 556 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 1: last evening. We weren't together before that. That was part 557 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,640 Speaker 1: of it, right, So you watched, you watched the show, 558 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 1: and then you take notes and then you you know, 559 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,000 Speaker 1: kind of like the access of what you think they're 560 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:26,880 Speaker 1: going to ask you, and you have to have a rebuttal. 561 00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 1: You were in there on your own for what you know, 562 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,920 Speaker 1: it was like twelve hours and you're you're sitting there 563 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:36,920 Speaker 1: for twelve hours. It's exhausting. It's like when you're getting 564 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 1: like bombarded and and and attacked and from all angles, 565 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 1: and it's like it's like you're in a fight. How 566 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 1: are you friends with people after that? Because you know, 567 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:49,280 Speaker 1: I've watched a lot of the I mean there's a 568 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,000 Speaker 1: lot of low blows and it gets pretty vicious. Is 569 00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 1: it hard to walk out of that and you'd be 570 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:56,960 Speaker 1: friends with some of these people? And she was, again, yeah, 571 00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,120 Speaker 1: it was. It was really hard to be fun with 572 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 1: Vicky and tamra Um after those shows. But you know, 573 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:08,200 Speaker 1: we spent so much time together and we really did 574 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,320 Speaker 1: have a good friendship. I didn't talk to them for 575 00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,680 Speaker 1: a couple of years, and I think it was like, 576 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:18,000 Speaker 1: you know, tiny heels all wounds, and we we just 577 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 1: got to an understanding of hey, we really enjoyed ourselves. 578 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:23,960 Speaker 1: You know, a lot of it. You know it was 579 00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:27,800 Speaker 1: before TV show. We really like each other. Let's you know, 580 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,800 Speaker 1: let's let's be friends again.

We've spent years together. And you 588 00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:57,000 Speaker 1: talked to Tama all the time. Yeah. Although Shannon really 589 00:31:57,040 --> 00:32:00,800 Speaker 1: got picked on this season pretty badly. She did. She 590 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,200 Speaker 1: got really picked up, and you know, she came into 591 00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:06,360 Speaker 1: the seasons going, you know, I've been working so hard. 592 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 1: I think she's been on for eight years.

And she 595 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:17,200 Speaker 1: went in with a positive attitude. She had no idea 596 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,080 Speaker 1: they were going to come after her the way they 597 00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 1: the way they did. Heather de bro can push all 598 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 1: this woke stuff and it's like celebrated. So it's like 599 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,840 Speaker 1: she gets to be you know, she gets to exercise 600 00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 1: freedom of speech and and you know, say what she wants, right, 601 00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:35,840 Speaker 1: and she gets to say, oh yeah, exactly.
