Yeah, moments that I would take back on or surrounding the Housewives. I would take back the moment where I said a slur to Luan in the Berkshires, because while I talk about a lot of people publicly, i'll talk about their actions or something I didn't agree with, or maybe just not caring for their decisions, but I won't character assassinate. I won't say something about their physical appearance or just call somebody some name to be mean um.
And I would take back that one moment where I said something to Luanne about um perceived promiscuity and I would not I would take back that moment. I would take back the moment where I peed on a stick in the bathroom because it's the only moment ever on Housewives for me that was not real, it had happened before, and that producers really needed to show that I was actually pregnant and I wasn't comfortable at the moment and
that happened. I would take back talking negatively to Kyle about the Housewives before she joined, because I was leaving and I felt that it was not sort of a great look or vibe overall. And I would take back being sort of negative about it to Kyle. I would take back years ago blogging and just publicly talking about when I talk I think I talked about Theresa years ago, who I didn't even know about her participation on the show, when it just didn't need to be said, like I
just didn't. It didn't need to say. It wasn't that bad and Theresa and I were fine. But I would just take back having blogged around other shows, um, because it just wasn't necessary. Not everything needs to be said, UM moments I would take back. I would take back. To be honest, I did not know when I on Just Be podcast said that everybody in the industry knew that Tom was not what he and Erica in the show portrayed him to be. I never said Erica knew.
I could never know if Erica knew, but everybody was saying that Erica must have known if I knew, and it kind of came back and slapped her in a time, and I don't think she really needed it. I just was saying the facts, which was that Dennis told me that Tom owed everybody money, and I did tell Andy Cohen that it was all show and no go and that it was crazy that she was spending that kind of money per month when he don't got it like that.
So I told him that, and I told yes, Kyle that, UM, but I didn't know that that would become like I hadn't seen that season and I hadn't seen that. Um. I didn't know that would be hard of the reunion because I didn't know that was a big thing, like did they know. I just knew that it was coming on public that he was a scammer, and I knew that he was a scammer, So I didn't realize that like that was going on inside the show and that my saying that would affect what was going on in
the show. And that also happened on Watch What Happens Live one time when I said that I had spoken to I think it was Lisa, Rinna or Kyle, I don't even remember, and I said something about vander Pump and said, if you're gonna like you're gonna come for her, you gotta kill her, meaning like that's a person that if you're gonna go after you better finish the job, just like me, Like, if you're gonna come for me,
you better you know, you better not. Miss. I was saying that to them, and I said it just like flippantly on Watch What Happens Live? And I wasn't watching the show. I think it was around Doggate or something, but whatever that meant made the audience think that like the two of them were plotting against Lisa. They were just discussing what was going on the show. To my knowledge, I have no idea what they were doing on the show, but they were discussing with me what was going on
in the show. And I was like, oh, well, you know, with Lisa Vanda promp as a character, you know, like me, you're gonna take But I said it and watch What Happens Live, and it like became a thing, and it became a thing with the two of them. They were
like annoyed that I had mentioned it. And that's where you have people that you know personally and you're just in that same cesspool where we're asked questions to provoke something on Watch Rappens Live and it lights a fire that I didn't even know I was holding the matches for. So that's something I would take back. I couldn't have known.
And you can't not talk about The funny thing is you can't not talk about anything because you know, Teresa was once you asked a housewife that either she doesn't like or something, and she said something negative about me, and then she said something positive about me being a good mother, which I was happy for. But they asked a question like who's the housewife that you think is the most blah blah blah like, And he asked me
who's the thirstiest Jill or Dorinda? Like I could say if you to answer that question, but like, then you're not playing the game, so you end up pissing somebody off. You make somebody happy and pissing somebody else off. That's why it's a really shitty game. And that's why going on watch What Happens Live, you need you need to like be in a straight checker for the next three weeks because you're gonna go on there. It's not like going on the Today Show or something where it's like relaxing.
You leave and you leave it behind. You go there and it's little fires everywhere. They use gasoline. When you're there, they literally hand you a match to add to the gasoline so they can just put that in the press and get ratings. And it's like that's what The Housewives is all about. That's kind of why I left living out the ship storm publicly all the time with everybody. You have so many housewives, you're always gonna say something,
So definitely apologies are owed and regrets have happened. I mean and and and you know, twelve years on its show a corner of my life, you're gonna make a couple of mistakes, gonna break a couple of eggs when you make a housewives omelet thank you ye. So I am struggling with this Rushmore thing. I honestly I struggled about the Vicki Tamar of it all because I think Tamar is excellent, and I know she is authentically her
on the show, which is why presumably she's been asked back. Um. I toyed around with my final Rushmore being Lisa Vanderpump because the first time I said it, I had her as somebody on my Rushmore because she was excellent at the interviews. But my definition of a housewife someone who isn't afraid to get dirty and isn't making it a popularity contest. So Lisa vander Pump was entertaining and she always managed to stir the pot, and she was good
in the interview chair. Albeit planned. You could tell those are planned lines. And I never really used to think about the fact that I do know that producers would give some people their lines or they prepared ahead of time. And you can ask any person that I ever worked with that the ship just just it was just off the cuff because when you started out years ago, you just didn't know all of the ways it can be orchestrated. Now, if you deconstructed, you can look back and see how
people could plan all of this. Um So, Lisavannah Pump is definitely on the list. Kyle, I'm giving most Valuable Player because she has gone the distance, and I mean this in the highest praise, like like the Susan Lucci of The Housewives and iconic soap actress who Kyle has been there since the beginning, is an o G and hasn't missed a season. I don't think there's anybody on from the beginning. So she's is like the Susan Lucci. She's she's a career Housewives and she has managed to
have good relationships with the castmates, with the producers. Yes, she's gotten into with different people, and she's definitely been involved in a lot of drama on the show with her family members and with other people. Kyle once said that Lisavannah Prompt was was playing chess with Bobby Fisher. So when I say that I think that Kyle is calculated, I do not meet it in a negative way like that.
I mean Kyle has found a way from the beginning to now to navigate and get a little bit dirty and a little bit of heat, but never really all the way into the mud, because I think she has managed to control that and control her image and and stay endeared to the audience and to the other people. But a Rushmore housewife for me, really goes to the mats and gets dirty and isn't really overly scerned with
their image. It's just not something that they really think about to to the to the fault of it, you know, like me. And he has been a disaster, because he's been a disaster, Teresa has been a disaster and it's not but they've also been so iconic and glamorous and fabulous and hilarious. So Kyle definitely has been incredible and is I'm giving my m v P. Gone the distance, But she's not on Rushmore because there's a down and
dirtiness of of of a rushmore. And the reason at least A vander Pump isn't getting the Rushmore even though I previously said she would, is because I do feel that she also And that's that cast, by the way, Beverly Hills, that cast is very in control. I spent one time, one weekend with them, one episode, and just they're very in control. They manage their image, they know what they're doing. They finesse this situation and it's a program and I get it, and I was spected, and
it's a different brand of what we're talking about. There are other people in the New York Housewives that have managed to have two separate lives that that's why they're not getting the rushmore people that I'm thinking of, because you have to have been stayed, you have to have stayed exactly true to your authentic self messiness at all on and off camera. So Lisa vander Pump has always been controlled and didn't show up to a reunion. So because she didn't show up to a reunion, I can't
give a rushmore. You see. I think about this a lot. So the other people that are on my very short list for Rushmore would be Tamera or Candy. And you know, I read the comments and many of you said I should put myself on that list. And this is not a humble brag, this is not begging for compliments, but it's my list. I just don't know how to put myself on the list. And here's my other reason why I don't know how to put myself on the list.
You know how the Brady and She is very iconic, and we talked about it, and we think it was like a full era. It was really only six seasons. I was on the house Webs three seasons and then I left in the beginning three seasons. Kyle's went on Housewives for twelve years. I left after three seasons and it was gone for three seasons, and I came back maybe for I think four or five seasons. So I've been on for eight seasons. I mean, it's it's significant.
It's enough to have made a mark. Um. So I don't know if I should leave it to you guys to vote. I cannot give myself an award. I cannot elect myself or nominate myself for this this very high honor. So I will leave you with this The definition of a Rushmore housewife is iconic, authentic, even when messy, not about who was the most popular with producers or who did all of the things that you like and relate to.
You may hate this person, they may They are polarizing because they came on the show and decided to give it their all, and they decided to be exactly who they are off camera on camera, and they were unapologetic. They are funny, they're entertaining. They bring the drama, but don't kill the party. They connect tissue, they drive story. They do not have separate lives on and off camera. They don't have that many secrets, and they don't really
have that many skeletons. They're not really somebody that everybody could figure out something about and catch them in a lie there. I mean, I just know that Teresa, Vicky, and Nini are absolute definitive Rushmore's. And I can't come up with the last one because none of the people I'm coming up with are definitive. Lisa Vanna Brump didn't go to a reunion and always managed to finesse and
manage her reputation. Kyle maintains a polished, controlled manner overall on and you know on the show with the audience that I respect immensely um and she's she is the m v P. And Kyle is the closest I could possibly come. So you may have your own thought. Candy is iconic, iconic. Porsche is also iconic, but in a more theatrical way. Then you get Kenya, who's iconic in a theatrical way. This is different. This is like more
authentically old school. Tamar gets chipped just because I gave it to Vicky and it's too similar in nature nature, But Tama no that you should be like on the Rock with Vicky. I just had to choose one. And it wasn't that I was choosing from a certain city. I don't think they're all from Orange County. It's just that I chose who I chose, and I'm happy about it. The timer definitely gets an honorable mention. And if it were not myself, the two people that it would be
down to would be Kyle and Candy. I think Candy is less afraid of tarnishing her image and Kyle also know that I'm friends with Kyle, so I'm not I I you know, I want to be. I'm being as authentic and honest as possible. She's great and there's been a superb housewife for so many reasons. Uh so, I may just have to let you all decide anyway, I digress
