Following the intense taping of her long-running reality series’ season finale, one cast member is speaking out about the state of her friendships and a unique new project that took her far outside her comfort zone.
The attorney and television personality says she emerged from the recent reunion special feeling positive about her relationships within the group. She emphasized genuine bonds with her co-stars, noting particularly close friendships with several women. The reunion, she suggested, provided a crucial platform for addressing unresolved tensions from a controversial international trip, specifically concerning another castmate’s social media activity. She believes the forum allowed for necessary conversations and is curious to see the audience’s reaction to how those discussions unfolded.
Her latest television endeavor, however, placed her in an entirely unfamiliar setting. For a special crossover episode, she participated in a lifestyle exchange program, trading her Southern California home for life on a farm on the East Coast. The star admits she initially believed she would be swapping lives with a fellow reality star from a different city. The realization that her counterpart was not from the reality television world came as a surprise, but she embraced the experience of immersing herself in a completely different family dynamic.
The episode also features a cameo from her closest friend within the cast, who visited the star’s home to check on her family during the swap. The star appreciated this authentic touch, stating it was a true reflection of their off-screen friendship and that her friend’s perspective helped illustrate her own character to the new family.
Known for her straightforward communication style on camera, the star traces this trait back to her childhood. As the eldest sibling, she explains she had to mature quickly, adopt a blunt and responsible demeanor, and learn to solve problems independently—a background she says directly shaped her adult personality. While she acknowledges her directness can sometimes cause friction, she does not believe it stems from malice.
The special episode featuring this unique household exchange is scheduled to air this week.
