This article originally ran in theHousewives Institute Bulletin.
It seemed like shed never leave our TV screens.
Then, last March,Bravo announceda hard reboot ofRHONYand a spin-off tentatively calledLegacythat would feature the original wives.
This conversation has been condensed and edited because, come on, have you met Sonja?
Youre on the West Coast.
And then it turns out, still on hold, lets say.
Im getting all these emails and DMs from towns saying, hey come to us next.
One town in Texas said they didnt even have a hospital within two hours.
You know me, Who do I have to fuck in this town to get a playground?
Everyone was asking me last night, Hows it going with Billy Richard?
And I said, I didnt realize that he was going to go back to New Orleans.
He lives outside New Orleans.
Another town Id like to do forCrappie Lake, by the way.
He only travels by truck with his dog, so he doesnt fly.
And I was like, Honey, if youre going to come see me …
Normally if I text someone, they have 10 minutes to get to my place.
And I met a local guy, a viking throw in.
I realized that in Benton with Richard, those are real men, you know what I mean?
Theyre really good in bed.
They dont care about TV.
Was Billy Richard good in bed?Yeah, he was great.
He went all night.
So then, now, this guy Im dating out on the island, hes amazing.
And he doesnt care about TV.
Lets go get some oysters and Cheetos.
And Im really enjoying him.
So being in New Yorks been hard since he only has two days off a week.
How long have you two been dating?Eight months.
Are you using the boyfriend word?Yeah, I did.
I usually say lover, but you know?
When you stop doing doggy style and you actually turn around and see their face, thats a boyfriend.
You filmedReal Housewivesevery year for a decade.
Youd normally be filming right now.
That was our routine.
And then when I stopped filming after five months, I wouldnt drink for maybe two or three months.
Id wait until I filmed again.
And I dont have a snatch guard.
Its like, full-on all the bits and pieces are out.
Because you film, you get paid, it airs, you get paid.Crappie Lakewas great.
You only film for six weeks and you get ten, 12 episodes.
Then you doUltimate Girls Trip, its six days, six episodes.
Okay, Id rather more episodes.
But now its like, when am I going to film again?
You only filmedUltimate Girls Tripfor six days?Right.
Six or seven days, if I remember right.
Maybe it was six nights, seven days.
How was that different from filming a trip during a season ofReal Housewives?Thats a good question.
But youve got to confirm you cover all your bases.
You got to have it all in one day.
Is it fun at all?Well, for me, it was wonderful.
I call her Kelly Bean.
And we really had a nice time together.
Youre going to see that.
And then I think youll be surprised where the drama came from.
She was very stressed out all the time.
They want to know, the mothers and the kids.
And now weve got the husbands watching because of COVID.
The long hair, not a fashion look.
The gays love a fashion look.
Id love to do anUltimate Girls Tripwith her and some of the old wives.
So are we going to get to see your new viking boyfriend in any upcoming projects?No.
I have to keep them under wraps!
