This season has been quite the explosion.
Whats been the most significant change in the dynamic?I think theres definitely a comfort factor, right?
My first season was just such a foreign world to me in so many ways.
I didnt really know a lot of the women well, so the connection wasnt a strong one.
For the second season, the relationships are more involved.
I think theres definitely a comfort factor there that allows you to be more natural.
you’re able to be more authentic, less censored.
You held your own against some pretty egregious personal attacks and rumors this season.
When I joined the cast, I didnt prepare for that.
It caught me a little bit off guard.
So I was just like, Im going to be my true authentic self.
I guess I never thought about it, because I didnt have anything to hide.
Can we talk about the infamous mirror-in-a-box disinvitation?
What kind of planning went into it?
Was it the reaction you were hoping for?
I will tell you that.
It was just not read correctly.
It was absolutely grammatically correct.
I can send you a photo if you want.
It all came to me as I was getting ready to film and talking to my makeup person.
I was saying something along the lines of, You know, I cant believe Larsa.
Who does she think she is?
She really needs to take a long look in the mirror before spreading rumors like that.
Then my makeup person asked me if I was going to still invite her to my engagement party.
I said, Absolutely not, I just have to figure out a way to uninvite her.
I didnt want to call her and have a conversation on the phone.
So we went back and forth talking about if I should send her a letter.
Then, I was like, No, you know what would be great?
If she could see herself!
The mirror idea just kind of came to me at that moment.
Like, that kind of dorky, smart humor with puns.
But I didnt think it was going to be as funny as when I watched it back.
When I watched it back, I was like yeah, that was pretty funny.
Speaking of the engagement party, several of the women last season were hyperfocused on your marital status.
Now that youre wedding planning congratulations, by the way what can you share about wedding developments?
Are you planning to invite all the ladies, are there plans to film during it?Thank you!
Anthony and I were both born and raised in Miami.
We are thinking destination-wedding vibe.
Location is still to be determined.
They have to take days off of work, book flights.
If they dont care, theyre not going to make the effort.
It automatically scales itself down.
The hardships with your father have been difficult and emotional to watch this season.
But the show really is like a pressure cooker.
And I think were so much stronger and better off today than we were two years ago.
And I think thats all due to the show.
Has your dad watched it?
Has he seen anything from a new perspective from the experience?You know, hes a stubborn man.
I think it definitely helped us each to see things from the others perspective.
Yeah, its like doing therapy in public.
That must be so vulnerable.The therapy sessions, we did them in my house.
We forgot that the cameras were there.
We were just so in the zone.
In my opinion, youve elevated yourself to top-tier Housewife status this season.
Do you still feel like the OGs treat you like a second-class citizen?
I dont think were there yet.
There was a lot to unpack at the reunion.
Obviously, we had a very eventful season and the reunion was equally as eventful.
Im always hopeful that things can move in the right direction.
We still have hopefully another season ahead of us.
Although I will say, it was my sons birthday the other day.
That leads me to believe that there is hope for a promising and positive relationship moving forward.
Like, I dont think Im an a-hole most of the time.
I definitely dont think thatthe Amex momentwas my finest moment, but I was trying to make a point.
I tried saying it at my engagement party, but got dismissed.
I thought,Maybe if this lawyer explained it to these women, itll finally sink in.
The point I was trying to make wasnt made as politely or as smoothly as I would have liked.
My delivery was not ideal, I will own that.
Not ideal, maybe, but highly entertaining.It was a little sassy and a little aggressive.
I was trying to make a point and I was in my feelings.
Not ideal well call it that.
The conversation has been edited and condensed for clarity.
