00:00But like you said, we're just kind of scratching the surface

00:03on everything that goes on in the season and definitely took

00:06a unexpected turn with Kenya and everything going on with that.

00:10I know that you have said that you were disappointed

00:12about the way it goes down and it seems like next episode

00:15we're going to kind of get the answers.

00:17Do you feel like it was justified in having her

00:21kind of take a step back from the show?

00:23I didn't expect anything to happen, really.

00:30I just was personally like, you know, I felt like

00:35how can you respond?

00:36It was just beneath Kenya and that was where I left it.

00:40I really didn't know what to expect or if anything at all

00:44with what happened in that.

00:46Do I feel like it's justified?

00:48I don't really know.

00:48I don't know what, you know, what the network,

00:51what the investigation was.

00:53I don't know how they came to the choice that they did,

00:55but I know that losing Kenya didn't help us at all.

00:59It was definitely like we were literally the dream team.

01:03You know, Bravo spent a lot of time putting, you know,

01:06curating their vision for season 16 with exactly the cast

01:10that started this whole season 16 journey together.

01:13And it's just really unfortunate that the fans don't get to see

01:16it play out with that official cast that they put together

01:20that they took a while to find and get that right balance

01:23of the old and the new.

01:24And, you know, Kenya certainly is one of the most polarizing

01:27Housewives in the history of Housewives.

01:30So it's like, I keep saying, it's like, I felt like

01:32we were going to the Superbowl and when we got there,

01:34we lost one of our most valued players.

01:36So, you know, it was tough and it was a little sad

01:41to move on without her.

01:42But, you know, we had to continue making the show.

01:44And, you know, I hope that, you know, I love Kenya.

01:48I'm always going to love Kenya.

01:50I don't think we've seen the last of her.

01:53Yeah.

01:53Do you feel like Britney kind of had it out for her,

01:56especially like watching that the last episode?

01:58Like I said, I don't know what goes on this episode,

02:01but watching the last episode, it seems like she was kind

02:03of teeing her up a little bit.

02:05You know what?

02:06That was not the experience that I had with Britney.

02:10So, and again, I wasn't there in the times that I was around

02:13Britney and in Kenya.

02:16I didn't pick up that energy.

02:17But again, I wasn't there when, you know, everything happened.

02:21So I'm actually not really the right one to ask that question.

02:25I was still getting to know Brit.

02:27And the reason why I took the position I did with Kenya,

02:30because I know Kenya.

02:32I know Kenya.

02:32And I know, you know, I just held her to a standard

02:36that I hold for my friends.

02:37And I just felt like it was not good for Kenya.

02:40I just felt like she was bigger.

02:41And I felt like this was the way she responded

02:43was just beneath her.

02:45And, you know, I'm always going to, to want my friends to win.

02:49It really, what ended up happening ultimately was,

02:53was taking the focus off.

02:54What was the most important part of the event was

02:58all her incredible hard work to, you know, bring this,

03:02this Kenya Moore haircare salon to fruition.

03:05And I know how hard she's been working on that.

03:07And, and what, you know, this is like a lifelong dream of hers.

03:10And it's just really unfortunate that it was overshadowed

03:13by the events that took place.
