00:00Before we get to Potomac, I did see that Vicky shared a note on her IG story that you left
00:06for her in the clubhouse.
00:07After Ultimate Girls Trip, was it important for you to show Vicky the love from her Bravo family?
00:13100%. When I found out that she was going to be there, I knew I just had to tell my
00:17girl, like, hey, I was thinking about you.
00:18Because even when they had their premiere party for Ultimate Girls Trip, Vicky was so warm to me.
00:23She grabbed my hand. She's like, honey, how are you? How's everything going?
00:26And, you know, considering our past, I'm really happy for where we are now.
00:31And there's been so much drama in the first three episodes. We haven't gotten to see your personal journey so
00:38far.
00:38So what can you share about what viewers will see from you?
00:42Well, I went back and forth quite a bit about how much I wanted to share about my parenting journey.
00:48I am obviously very protective of my sons, but I also felt like it was important to be honest about
00:54some of the struggles that I'm having.
00:56And how I'm coping with that and really how it's affecting my relationships, not, you know, just with my children,
01:03but also how it's affecting my relationships with other people.
01:05My friends and, you know, my boyfriend. My boyfriend? Yes, I said that word.
01:11So I'm navigating that for sure.
01:13Start this season in a little bit of the hot seat because of the alluding to what was going on
01:21with Tia's husband, Rob, during that live show.
01:24Tia's got some stuff that's brewing in the streets.
01:27It's that manning.
01:28It's that manning.
01:29It's that manning.
01:32At the time, did you think that Tia sort of knew what was going on with Rob?
01:38Or what was your handle on the situation at that point?
01:42Well, I didn't in my mind, I couldn't think about how Tia didn't know.
01:48You know, I felt like something that had made its way to our group had definitely been brought to Tia's
01:54attention at some point.
01:56And, yes, I am remorseful for my delivery of how I said it on the stage.
02:01You know, I was feeling a little feisty and free.
02:03You know, Wellington brings it out of me.
02:06So my delivery was wrong.
02:07But essentially, yeah, that was something that I knew would be the case for the season.
02:14And it was tough to watch Tia process that betrayal in real time as Stacey sort of gave her the
02:22news.
02:23What was your reaction watching that conversation?
02:26I've received pictures of him on these dating sites.
02:33Do you have them?
02:35I do.
02:36And I've never repeated it to anyone in this group until this moment.
02:39That was a hard conversation because I actually had no intention of telling Tia.
02:46It was never going to come from me, right?
02:48I know I may have made a joke.
02:49I may have alluded to something.
02:51But the actual words themselves would never have come out of my mouth.
02:53So I was very surprised that it was Stacey who was the one that delivered it.
02:59Because it just didn't feel...
03:01It was just kind of shocking to me, honestly.
03:03How did you feel about Robin coming back?
03:06Surprisingly, yes, actually.
03:07I was very happy to have Robin back.
03:10I don't really know what's been going on in her life.
03:13Cheers to Robin.
03:15Have you talked to Ashley?
03:17You know I haven't talked to Ashley.
03:19Oh, I know.
03:19I see her via Instagram and how her kids are doing, and that's nice.
03:23And, you know, I get my little tidbits on TikTok about their podcast, but I hadn't actually seen.
03:28So I was like, what is going on with Robin?
03:30What is the dynamic between her and Juan?
03:32Which I don't really get that.
03:33But it was just nice to get a little inside look again.
03:36And she's familiar.
03:37Like, I know what I'm getting with Robin.
03:40Giselle and Robin had been filming the Reasonably Shady podcast.
03:42Yeah.
03:43And Giselle had made a joke about, like, oh, you'll find out something in six months or something alluding to
03:50your situation.
03:52Robin edited it out.
03:54Why didn't you give Giselle or Robin a heads up that you shared that information with Tia?
03:57Oh, well, because at that point, I felt like it was all just out in the open.
04:02And whether it was going to be me to tell Tia or someone else, it was just in our atmosphere.
04:07It was floating all around.
04:09And considering the fact that Tia had her feelings about me from what I said on the stage, I kind
04:14of felt like it was incumbent on me to be honest with her about that.
04:16To show her that, like, yes, the way I delivered that information was a little shady.
04:22But here I'm coming to you as a friend to tell you that this is what's being talked about.
04:26Especially because I know she was really protective of her kids and whatever could get out to affect her teenage
04:31children.
04:32So that's why I felt like she had to know.
04:34And, you know, I do have to congratulate you on being the only Potomac woman to bring a man to
04:40Alexi's birthday party.
04:42Did you peep that?
04:43Karen, yes.
04:44Hello there.
04:45Oh, my God.
04:46Oh, hello.
04:47Hi.
04:47I think we're late for the following.
04:48Hi.
04:49Nice job.
04:50This is Alexi.
04:51This is my husband.
04:52Your birthday, right?
04:53Yes, it is.
04:53Happy birthday.
04:54I'm like, damn, all y'all bitches single?
04:56What the hell is happening here?
04:58Yes, but yes.
05:00Did you have a feeling that Josh might be the only guy present from the group?
05:04No, I actually thought Eddie was going to come to the dinner.
05:07I envisioned Ray being there.
05:11I thought maybe we'd even get, like, a little want appearance.
05:14I really did think that there were going to be more men, especially because Courtney had been so intentional about
05:19asking us to bring her partners.
05:21So I figured everybody was proud of who they have on their arm, and they would bring them.
05:25But clearly I was wrong.
05:26Well, I was also like, are there no babysitters in Potomac?
05:31So do you buy the excuse they all were watching the kids?
05:34In defense of Eddie and Timo, I am not going to shame a man that is at home watching the
05:38kids.
05:39Don't bring Eddie into there.
05:40She don't know what Eddie's doing.
05:42He's at home watching the kids.
05:43Darling, considering how much they travel and the events that I see them at, and they're all about town, dressed
05:50to the nines, no babies in sight, and sometimes with their men, yes, everybody has somebody that could have taken
05:56care of those children.
05:58It's very convenient.
06:00Well, I, along with other Potomac fans, were saddened to learn that the institution is in trouble, that Karen and
06:07Ray are separated.
06:08You know, what was your reaction to that news?
06:11I was heartbroken.
06:12I was gutted.
06:13Mainly because I felt like Ray has endured so much with Karen throughout the course of their time together, and
06:20now Karen is, like, refreshed.
06:23You know, she has a different perspective.
06:24So I thought that was actually going to be a positive for Ray.
06:27Like, I thought that they were going to essentially, like, start dating each other again, and that would be happy
06:33and, like, getting to know you.
06:35But in actuality, I think it's put more of a strain on them.
06:38So that was shocking to me that they were having a hard time coping when I really thought they would
06:43just be banging like bunnies and, you know, really getting to know each other again.
06:47Do you think there's a chance for Karen and Ray to come back together and the relationship shouldn't be reinstated?
06:52Oh, I'm holding out hope.
06:54For Karen and Ray, you know, I only lasted in my marriage for 10 years, and Karen and Ray have
07:00been married for 30 years.
07:01So I have to imagine that it ebbs and it flows and that there will always be ups and downs.
07:06But I'm just hoping that this is just, like, a little blip, and then they're going to keep being happy
07:12and loving.
07:13Because, I mean, Ray is 80 years old.
07:16You're going to put that man back on a dating market at 80?
07:18That's not right.
07:19Karen is ageless, okay?
07:21Karen is looking at not a day over 45.
07:25That's not fair to Ray, you know what I'm saying?
07:27So I'm hoping they bring it back together.
07:29I'll put it back together.
07:29You do that right?
07:29You
