US Weekly

Transcript

00:00I'm so excited. The OG from the OC is coming back next season. Did you see it coming? Did you?

00:06Oh, I think we all saw it coming.

00:08Yeah, like, I mean, it's season 20.

00:10And then Tamara and Vicky were, like, lots of posting.

00:13Yes, yes.

00:14We were having feelings, like, is Vicky coming back?

00:16But last night was awesome.

00:17We thought for sure that if there was a season for her to come back, it was going to be season 20.

00:21And that was exciting the way that Andy did it.

00:24I mean, that was really cute.

00:25And to see that reaction from Vicky, and she deserved it, so that was fun.

00:29Right, so how do you think it's going to shake things up then?

00:32And do you feel like we needed a good shake-up after a very hard season?

00:35We do need a good shake-up.

00:37And I keep saying I've never worked with Vicky.

00:40But, you know, Vicky has that, like, super fun whoop-it-up.

00:43But, you know, I am excited to work with her.

00:45And I do think it's the shake-up that we may need.

00:48I don't know. How do you feel like it's going to go, though?

00:50I don't know. I mean, Tamara and Vicky and Shannon.

00:52Yeah, it's going to be interesting to see the dynamics.

00:55Yeah, did you ever see Vicky and Tamara kind of making up?

00:58No, I didn't.

00:59No, because, I mean, even just, like, over the summer,

01:02Vicky was, like, texting me stuff and saying, like,

01:04oh, I'm just going to keep my mouth shut, what she said.

01:06But she was telling me some stuff.

01:08And saying, like, Vicky was like a soundboard.

01:11Like, she would be like, I've been there with Tamara.

01:12Like, she knows that other side of Tamara.

01:15But I think they have such a history.

01:17Yeah.

01:17So maybe that's where that bond gets resurrected again.

01:21I'm not sure.

01:22Shannon doing.

01:23She okay?

01:23Yeah.

01:24Yeah.

01:24She's great.

01:25She is.

01:25She's great.

01:26She actually is.

01:27Yeah, she's doing great.

01:27Do you ever see a road to reconciliation between you and Tamara?

01:31Is that ship has sailed?

01:32I mean, obviously, we haven't seen the last episode of the finale.

01:35Yes.

01:36But things are going to get very heated.

01:37Yes.

01:38Things do get heated.

01:39And you know what?

01:40Here's the thing.

01:40And Jen explained this really well in another interview.

01:43I think that the goal of what all of us were saying to Tamara this season is we just wanted

01:48her to take a step back and kind of take an internal look at things.

01:52And we just really wanted to see some of the behaviors change.

01:55And so I think for me, if anyone's ever really willing to show movement and change, then yes.

02:01And I hope that there's a way forward for us.

02:05Was I extremely hurt by what happened?

02:07Absolutely.

02:07But I also feel like I built such amazing relationships with the other women.

02:12And I have really great relationships with them and friendships that are real.

02:15And I'm excited to be with them, you know?

02:19And then hopefully that can get worked out in the process, you know?

02:22Definitely.

02:23After watching it back, were Slade and Ryan disappointed that they didn't go to the reunion

02:27to kind of tell their side?

02:29You know what's funny?

02:30Ryan was never actually officially asked.

02:32They mentioned it to me, like, would Ryan want to go?

02:34And I'm like, oh, you're not going to get Ryan there.

02:35This is weeks and weeks prior.

02:36And then Ryan was like, what the hell?

02:38I heard I canceled last minute.

02:40I think it was more of like, did Slade want to go?

02:43Because Matt and Slade and the whole Katie thing, it was all between them.

02:47But I think Slade made the right decision.

02:49There was no need for Slade to go.

02:51Yeah, no, there wasn't.

02:52And there was nothing really to prove there.

02:54Like, you know, it was just funny when Matt would say, oh, he called me 20 times in a row.

02:58It's like, we literally went and looked at the phone record and I was like, what did I miss?

03:01Because you called him once.

03:03Like, what am I missing here?

03:04So, you know, it just, it's like when you know your truth, you don't feel like you have to go and like stand up for it.

03:09It's just like, it is what it is.

03:11And if he wanted to be on the show and do whatever he needed to do, that's fine.

03:16I mean, you know what I mean?

03:17Yeah.

03:17Have you spoken to Katie since the reunion?

03:19Have you run into her this weekend at all?

03:21Ran into her.

03:21Like, I've seen her in passing here.

03:23Last night we were at the Bravos and all the girls lined up for a picture.

03:27And when I stepped into the picture, she was at the other end.

03:30So she waved and I waved back to her.

03:32And, but no, I mean, Ryan ran into Matt and they had a nice conversation and I had a nice conversation.

03:38Katie wasn't with him at that time.

03:40But we do see each other in passing, but we haven't been able, like, there's been no connection.

03:45We haven't spoken.

03:45Do you see a space for her within this group now?

03:50I don't ever want to say no.

03:52And I just said this.

03:53I've had so many times where Katie and I would have real conversations or what I thought was real.

03:57And I would say, like, Katie, do you want to be in this friend group?

04:00Are you, because her tactics sometimes felt so like this isn't how you go in and try to forge friendships.

04:06It felt opposite to that.

04:07So do I see a path for Katie?

04:10Yeah.

04:10If she genuinely was trying to form friendships, sure.

04:13But not the behind the scenes talking to bloggers and all that, that, that I don't feel like bodes well for any of us.

04:20Yeah.
