Part 1 of The Real Housewives of New York reunion is just a few days away and Bravo is dropping a few preview clips this week. In one snippet, the ladies chat about other Housewives franchises and Kristen Taekman defends her good friend Brandi Glanville, while throwing some shade at the rest of the Beverly Hills cast.
In the video clip, the cast starts out chatting with Andy about which other RH show they’d like to join because when he asked RHOBH stars about it, they all said New York. (Bethenny Frankel wants to go to Atlanta for a HW swap) Then they shared which Housewives they’d love to bring on their show. Dorinda says Brandi, Luann would bring Lisa in and Sonja says Kyle. Andy turns the Brandi talk to Kristen , who is BFFs with Brandi. He comments that Brandi had a very rough season on Beverly Hills. Andy asks if there’s anything Kristen would like to say in Brandi’s defense; does Kristen think Brandi was misrepresented? “I definitely think she was misrepresented [last season on RHOBH]. I think that she’s going through a very hard time, and continues to, like many of the women on this cast have been going through some rough times.”
She continued, “I genuinely don’t think she’s really that close of friends with many of those women and I think that really shows. I think Yolanda really had her back and they have a great bond. I don’t think a lot of those women understand her. And, you know, people love to hate her, but she’s been nothing but good to me. She’s actually a really great friend.”
Bethenny says that Brandi was flying too close to the sun. Kristen responds “You what, Bethenny, someone had to because there was nothin’ else goin’ on.” Ouch. –
Many of the NY cast chimed in to say that they’d met Brandi, had dinner with her, and really enjoyed and liked her. It’s different for us, the viewers, because we only see what Bravo shows us and what the reality stars Tweet, say in interviews, etc. And we form our opinions based on those things. So when a reality star gets frustrated because “we don’t know the real them” or understand how the editing was off, it’s not our fault.
In other Kristen and Brandi BFF news, the two got together for a girls’ night dinner while Kristen was in town. They shared the photo above , captioning it “Filtered and Unfiltered Blonde 😉 #unfilteredblonde #bestiesforlife #rideordie.”
