Starting point is 00:00:47 I'm Dylan Hafer And today we have a first In the studio I am here with not one, not two But three Real Housewives It is a full half of the cast Of the Real Housewives Of New York Season 14
Starting point is 00:00:59 I'm here with Aaron Dana Leachie at Jessel Tunk and Bryn Whitfield. Hi. We're happy to be here. Wow. So excited. You're just laid out before me. You all look great.
Starting point is 00:01:12 I'm loving the show. I've seen a couple episodes. How are we feeling? How are we doing? Is it real? Yeah. I mean, I think we're all just like, fuck. What did we just get ourselves?
Starting point is 00:01:23 Yeah. It's kind of hit. Like, oh, God, this is real. It happened. Like, when I watched the first couple episodes, too, I was like, I did that. And like, there's no. I can't.
Starting point is 00:01:31 I can't back out. It's a little too late, you know? So we're here. And it's funny watching yourself on TV. Fucking weird. It's so weird because, you know, in your head, you're just doing you. And then you sort of, in retrospect, look back. And you're just like, holy shit, I am the biggest fucking bitch brat, whatever.
Starting point is 00:01:47 Like. Oh. Okay. Can you get that in writing? I'm speaking for everyone, actually. I'm speaking for everyone. Call your husband. She admitted it.
Starting point is 00:01:55 You're like voice memo that, play it back. He's going to hold of the pre-not. You're like, let's rework. this. No, it's weird. And also I feel like I didn't, the first time I watched it, it was so surreal because we got, it just was randomly kind of sent to us at the last minute. We didn't, we didn't have a heads up. So in watching it, I didn't even contemplate like the jokes and how funny it was. I was like, do I look ugly? Do I look fat? Why did I wear my hair like that? Like I couldn't actually, you know, but then when I rewatched it, I was like, this shit is funny. I think it's very funny.
Starting point is 00:02:23 It's very funny. And we're not even trying to be. I think that all of us together is so unique and we have such interesting personality traits that like you put it together and it's like I don't even know what I would call it but it's an explosion of just like fun yeah yeah I think when you're putting together a show like this obviously you're all new to us as bravo viewers but like creating the dynamic of the group is so important and so watching a brand new show like this it's it's exciting to see kind of like all the different combinations and how you guys are as a group and one-on-one and we see you with your families from the very first episode. Like there's, there's a lot of pieces to the puzzle.
Starting point is 00:03:03 Yeah. Like the poop situation at my house. There's always like a potty training incident at my house. So I'm curious from you guys, how much were you in the housewives world? How much were you aware of before this opportunity came across your doorsteps? I personally love old Roney. I thought old Roney was hysterical. I thought it was lighthearted.
Starting point is 00:03:27 I loved like the drama that they would get into and then the resolve. And I feel like things changed pretty dramatically after a while. So I was excited about the idea of sort of bringing that back into a more modern sense, right? Like we're very different than those women were. We even live in completely different neighborhoods all of us. So I love the old Rooney and I'm so excited to be able to share sort of our version of New York. I think that Roney almost was like a micro-examined. of like the Upper East Side, right? Like it was a very sort of close-knit community that was
Starting point is 00:04:05 showcasing like one element or aspect of New York. I think the way that we're doing this is so different, so culturally diverse, so vast. And it just really showcases what New York City is. And it's just really a melting part of so many different people. And that's kind of what this show is, I think, you know, kind of gearing towards. I was a massive fan of Beverly Hills. Because my best friends on it, her mom's on it. Lisa Vanderpump. Yeah, and I knew Lisa Vanderpump before the show. And let me take, she was more, like, you would go over on a Tuesday random night and you, there would be like rose petals up the staircase and candles. It would look like Valentine's Day and it was like a Tuesday. And she's just like, so she's that fabulous,
Starting point is 00:04:44 but I'm friends with Pandy. And so, and actually back in the day when they were starting Vanderpump rules, they were like, we're starting this show. Would you maybe want to like think about being on it? Yeah. I was like, well, I'm going to have to quit my job at this PR firm and actually work at the restaurant. You're going to have to hook up with, the guys on the show, then break up with them. Yeah, break up with them. I think that manager, I think one day,
Starting point is 00:05:04 I think I made out with him once in Halloween. Peter and his name is. Like, this was like 2006. Wow. You could have been scandibal. Yeah, but I got my worst. And I was like telling Lisa and Pandy, I was like, I would never do reality TV.
Starting point is 00:05:17 Like that is like so trash. The second I got it, Pandy screenshot it, she's like, really bitch? Oh, okay. I was like, I'm poor. I need to. Well, good to know. I mean, I feel like,
Starting point is 00:05:26 Any connection you have is like an opportunity for like a fun little crossover situation. I think reality TV in general has changed so much and especially when you think of housewives. Like it's not lowest common denominator anymore. You have like Michelle Obama watches Potomac like John Hamm watches Beverly Hills in New Jersey. Like it's actually like it's cool now. Yeah. So now it's cool. It was always cool though.
Starting point is 00:05:48 It was oh I thought it was always cool. And also to Jessel's point I'll say one thing that really stuck with me was that like none of the old Roney ladies would go down. downtown. Like to get, do you remember that? Like to get them down to, we go downtown. I can't put,
Starting point is 00:06:01 I don't go uptown. I go down. It was kind of like a funny full circle moment because on the first season of New York, it was such a big deal that Alex McCord lived in Brooklyn. Oh my God. And I think the first scene of your season is at size. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:17 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, that's not weird to live in Brooklyn. Right across the river. She lives in Brooklyn. She's odd. I mean,
Starting point is 00:06:24 she happened to be odd. Yeah. So like that works. By the way, we can't even afford to love in Brooklyn anymore. That shit is so expensive. Yeah, her setup looks pretty nice. It's beautiful. It's gorgeous.
Starting point is 00:06:35 Not like my up-and-coming. I'll try it back. Just wait. You haven't seen that yet. Yeah, I've heard about the neighborhood debate. Oh, my God, it's up-and-coming. Right back there, you guys. 30 years ago.
Starting point is 00:06:47 Pre-Jazy and Beyonce. So I'm curious, you talked about how reality TV has kind of changed. Like, when this conversation started happening about doing this show, Was it an automatic, yes, that's so exciting? Or was it like, is this something I want in my life? Yeah. I think there were several conversations, obviously, that I had to have, because it's not just me.
Starting point is 00:07:08 I have a husband. I have kids. Like, all of those elements come into play. I mean, my family in general, being Indian. And we're a very private culture, you know. So being on national television and sort of giving, you know, this audience a window into your life. It's something that we didn't take lightly, I would say. What about you?
Starting point is 00:07:26 Aaron? Conversations were had, but I feel like when an opportunity like this, and it really came to me from a friend, a mutual friend, and it was like, yeah, like you don't pass up an opportunity to be on like this amazing show. I think we're all really blessed that we were given this opportunity, really. Yeah, and I was on vacation last year. I was fucking around the South of France. And I just left a job in tech, being the head of a comms for a tech startup. And so I was just like going to take a like it was like okay in spring and there's like economy i'm going to start i have time thankfully you know to like take a break and chill and then i started doing this what better way to take a break and chill i know it's like the ultimate to dive into the least chill experience
Starting point is 00:08:13 whatever it was relax yeah it was so weird though like i don't think any of us knew what this it was like one day there were just cameras in your your house and they're like okay go and i was like do what and you're like so what do i like do like do like like how do I start this? And they're like, just like, just do your life. Right. Nobody's saying like, and action. Yeah, nothing.
Starting point is 00:08:32 It's really true. Yeah. And the first week, I was like, but what do you want me to say? Like, do you want me to flip a table? I mean, I'll like, click someone out. They're like, no, just be you. And it happens eventually. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:40 And here's the scary thing. I don't know what you guys thought. But like, I was like, first of all, I thought it was going to be like two small little documentary style cameras, you know. And I didn't think that we would, I didn't think it would like, we would know what to do or like, or like, how would we have this conversation if there's 10 cameras sitting right here. Like, obviously I'm going to be insecure.
Starting point is 00:08:56 You get used to it after five minutes. And that's the problem. You don't, you forget they're there. Yeah. And also, it is good. And it's also brilliant production and like the people that they hire because we got very, very comfortable. At least I was very close with my crew.
Starting point is 00:09:12 So like, we'd make a joke and they'd be like, chuckling behind the camera. And I'm like, oh, yeah, I'm going to keep it going. Yeah. They wrap you up. You're like, it's almost performance. But you're yourself. But you're yourself. That's important.
Starting point is 00:09:23 because when you're on a show like this, like going, you're going to work at your home. They're coming into your space. It's not like you're just arriving on set somewhere and then you leave it at the end of the day. It's like they're with your kids. They're with your partners. Your mom is on the first episode. I mean, it's really like all encompassing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:42 And my mom did not know what the hell to do. I kept asking her question. She was like, she was like, what? Like, I don't know. I don't know. I was like, mom, you're on fucking camera. Just like, fudge it. Like, you know, just like, just riff.
Starting point is 00:09:52 And she was so cute, though. I mean, imagine, like, I put her in a position that she never, first of all, didn't sign up for and be, like, no one, how the hell do you even explain what to do with someone?

And now Springs got you looking at pictures of tank tops with hungry eyes. Your algorithm is feeding you cutoffs. You're thirsty for the sun on your shoulders.
Starting point is 00:10:43 That perfect hang on the patio sundress. Those sandals you can wear all day and all night. And you've had enough of shopping from your couch. Done hoping it looks anything like the picture when you tear up on that envelope, it's time for a little in-person spring treat. It's time for a trip to Ross. Work your magic. I was actually at BravoCon the night that you got brought out.
Starting point is 00:11:06 I was there. Oh, my God. I was sitting like on the side of the stage. No, I was really, really close. On your side? Yeah. Oh, cool. I probably have pictures where you're like staring at my phone camera. No way.
Starting point is 00:11:17 But I want to know what was that night like and how long before that were you like put together as the housewives of New York. That night was so surreal. So surreal. Like we were in a dressing room before. We were all like, you know, talking, having cocktails. It was like kind of normal. And then all of a sudden, Andy goes, the doors are going to open and your lives are
Starting point is 00:11:39 going to change forever. And literally that's how it felt like the doors open. And there were just all these people screaming. We were looking at them. We were like, what in the world just happened? And then that was it. It were thrown into it. it was like bang, bang, bang.
Starting point is 00:11:54 And we didn't know, like, what the reception was going to be. Because obviously, like, leading up to the announcement, there were so many people that were, you know, not on board. And so here we are. Like, the doors were opening. And I half expected us to be booed. I don't even know. Like, I wasn't, we were just so uncertain about.
Starting point is 00:12:12 I thought, like, that was my first. That would have been great. They're going to throw tomatoes at us. Oh, my God. I'd be like, throw your panties and stuff. No, but it felt, I remember walking out there. I felt like all my friends were. How did it feels?
Starting point is 00:12:22 It was like BravoCon's crazy. And the Bravo universe is so fucking intense. And the fans are so passionate. And they're amazing. Yeah. But I remember feeling like a WWE fighter. I was like I'm in a ring. Like, you know, like it felt like it's just, it was a very surreal.
Starting point is 00:12:38 Yeah. Yeah. Did you like meet people that night like other Bravo people? Or was it kind of just like weird. In the back holding area, they were because it's like such a well coordinated show. So you can't help but just running into people. First, we were in Andy's drive. dressing room. Taylor Armstrong, I remember she came out of the bathroom. I had to go to the
Starting point is 00:12:55 bathroom. And she actually helped me like unzip and she was so sweet and so kind. Yeah. Yeah, you had a whole production there with the zipping. I know. There's a lot of zipping and a lot of zippers. And then who else? Teresa, I remember Teresa was in the back when we were waiting and she like walked past and she was she's so lovely, so adorable very like a little bit. Yeah. She's her personality is so big. I thought she'd be really tall. She's very petite. The hair is like as big as I'm 5'10 juice taller than me. But everyone was lovely. I mean, I think that, you know, we were sort of brought into this world that we were relatively new to and, you know, the amount of support that we felt backstage, on stage.
Starting point is 00:13:36 I mean, it was a really fun moment. It's interesting to hear you guys talk about the support and how great the fans are because then obviously there is like the flip side with the Roney reboot situation this season. people have a lot of strong opinions and those can be very strong positive and very strong negative. And we're talking right now. The show hasn't premiered yet. So obviously there isn't like people haven't gotten to see the show. And I think that'll kind of enter a new phase. But I'm curious how you've.
Starting point is 00:14:06 I get it. Yeah. I get it. Like why call it Roney, right? Call it something else. But the truth is that that's what it is. Like it's not we're not all housewives. I don't think I'm not met.
Starting point is 00:14:17 I think any of us. But none of them really kind. Well, they kind of were. There were a few seasons there where not one of them was married. Exactly. Exactly. And if you go through, and Roney originally, it was Bethany wasn't. She was single, funny, and broke like me.
Starting point is 00:14:31 So it's like, are you the next one? My husband is more of a housewife than I am. I'm like, you know, no, he literally is. I mean, he's, he's. He's here first. He's in the kitchen. He cooks. He watches the kids.
Starting point is 00:14:42 Yeah. What a catch. He is more of a housewife than I am. I think that he should be on the show, like, in my place. But truly, like. I would take poverty. Yeah. No, but that's the whole name thing, right?
Starting point is 00:14:51 Because I think people are so, like, buzzed and charged by it because it's like, it's not rony, this was rony. But I think people just need to get used to it and become comfortable with it, that we're, like, taking the name. You know what I mean? At the same time, I mean, these fans have been watching the same women for almost, what, 13 years. I think that they are so invested in each of those women's lives. It's like, get it. It changes never easy. And they were amazing.
Starting point is 00:15:17 Yeah. They were the best. Horatible. Like the one-liners. But they still exist. It's not like, it's not available on Peacock. Like the same way as your show. Crappy Lake.
Starting point is 00:15:26 They're not going anywhere. Sonia and Lou are there. I mean, and who knows? And they just did. I heard like the other girls trip. They're going to keep doing it. So why have less? Like, I like everything more.
Starting point is 00:15:35 More men, more money. Like, just have it more. Like, now you get more. And you can watch seasons one through nine on Peacock. Like, and it's fucking hilarious. So just rewatch. Then you get us. You get some new sloppy dumb girls.
Starting point is 00:15:45 And then, and then it's just more fun. Everyone over here like, speak for your son. Everything is like that's like not me. Get me. Everything is what I'm saying like that fun, like what you want. Like, you know, it's just there's. The other thing is not to be an asshole. Okay.
Starting point is 00:15:59 But like, but I mean, are you going to watch them for another 10 years? Like, where are they going to be in 10 years? I'm just saying like, think about the age. Like the age is a factor. Right. I'm not trying to be. How many boobs can you get? Your boobs are eventually going to just like succumb to gravity and like that shit is not cool
Starting point is 00:16:15 anymore. Don't you ask me get my boobs done for the first. Don't see me go through two divorces, you guys? Like, come on. Exactly. No, but we get where the fans are coming from, but we just want people to give us a chance. A, it is a different show. We're not sitting here.
Starting point is 00:16:27 We're not going to recreate. We're not miniature versions of prior people. It's a new show, and it represents New York, and it's very, it's just fresh and new. Yeah. And give us a shot. Yeah. So I've seen the first couple episodes, and I'm curious, you talked about getting used to the cameras being there just kind of on an everyday basis.
Starting point is 00:16:45 But I'm curious about how you got used to now. navigating conflict and issues and having those conversations, both in front of the camera and just in front of the group. Because that's something that Housewives kind of needs is like, if you have an issue, you got a real quick. Aaron got used to quick. I got pulled in to Eric. Aaron brought me up to speed very quickly. But that was surreal. Yeah. And see, and I'm not. I'm actually very like I'm avoidant. I don't like like I just send a text and then block you for the break. up. Like, I'm just very, you know, I'm, I'm confronted when it's like a one-sided sort of monologue or something and I can just preach or if I'm in the mood. But if I'm not in that mood of like, I'm ready to go, then to just be put in that position, it's, it's kind of surreal. You're like,
Starting point is 00:17:31 oh, my God, this is happening. And then for a split second, I did become aware of the cameras again. And then you're like, I don't know. It's just, it's surreal to fight. Because like, do you fight in, like, if you're at Starbucks, do you just start fighting in front of people at work? Do you guys just like, if you have an issue, do you just start yelling? Right. Like, if you're, with an arena around You don't yell. No, I'm not yell, but do you get an in a conversation, even in the conference room? We've seen it happen and those work moments are awkward. Right.
Starting point is 00:17:55 You know, or that guy at Starbucks that's like, where's my order? And everyone's like, oh, my God, it's weird. But you just forget about the fact that the cameras are even there. Yeah. Then when you get into it, then you're just like, it's just a friend. I'm like, hey, let's go over. You know, like the group was more felt like more present to me than the cameras. Yes.
Starting point is 00:18:09 I think also like how you navigate life in real life is not how you navigate life on in the situation. Like for me, if someone, if someone has a problem, my immediate instinct is, hey, let's grab lunch and let's like hash it out, right? You love to grab lunch. I love to grab lunch. She's a lady who lunches. She's a lady who lunches. I love it.
Starting point is 00:18:28 I'm a lady who lunches. But like, let's have an adult conversation. Let's like try to hash it out. Yeah. Although, you know, that's how I deal with something. It's like people, other people have different, you know, ways of handling. And then you see that play out because we all handle conflict in different ways. And then you see it then like, yeah, because it's real, you can't hide it.
Starting point is 00:18:46 So then you see it. how like, yeah, Aaron's very direct. She's at an I'm avoidant. And then you see how that pans out in our communication styles. It's very much like the shit you deal with with friends when you're trying to plan a bachelor party and no one's getting along. It's like, what is this breakdown in communication? Right.
Starting point is 00:19:00 Like Jenna kind of watches from the side and it's like, is this for real? Yeah. Yeah. She's like, it sucks. This is the worst. Yeah. She's a bitch. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:09 You, I was so curious to see Jenna on the show because, you know, I'm aware of her from her fashion career. rear. Aaron, you said in the first episode that she's kind of an enigma to everyone in the group. What was it like seeing her in this environment? Because I think, you know, you think of her as like the J-Crew woman. Right. I think it's very, I think it's going to be very interesting for people to see her not be the head honcho because she just wasn't able to. So she had to balance all of our emotions, you know, like be upfront because we're all in a group and we're all being open and honest and you know she's not used to that she's not used to having to to do what people expect her to
Starting point is 00:19:51 do right it's usually her way or the highway so i think it was like even you know we went on a trip to my house out east yeah and she left she just walked out in the middle of the night because she wanted to go home like those are not things that you do in a friend group like you just don't leave because you feel like it like we're all there together and we committed to it so it's like those type of situations come up with her. And I just don't think that she's someone who's used to being in a friend group, really. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:19 But you're being taken out of your kind of natural habitat in a way. And it's like... Habitat of running the show, right? There's no showrunner. Yeah. You... So hosting is a thing on Housewives that it's like, it's stressful and a lot.
Starting point is 00:20:34 And with this group. You're doing it right away. Everyone has opinions. What was, how did you mentally prepare? I didn't. I should have. I should have gone to therapy before having everyone at my house. I did not mentally prepare. I just went with it. And I got a lot of shit and a lot of complaints. Oh, she's sidowing me. Let's make no. The record show. The record show. But ultimately, it's like, whatever. You can complain. You can say whatever you want. I had a great time.
Starting point is 00:21:06 I had a great time. I thought it was fun. I was hammered the whole time. You're like, I don't know. I got to go to my favorite restaurant. I got to hang out. Yeah, we're in the Hamptons. It was great. Weird. Yeah, I didn't even care where I slept. I think I slept with me.
Starting point is 00:21:18 I slept with me. Yeah, I like cuddling or whatever. Sleep on the floor. Usually I sleep on a cold bathroom floor. Actually, she left in the middle of the night. You did? I did. Remember you were like, I was coughing and I needed my. I moved around.

Starting point is 00:30:36 Like, like, the. Then to which the former cast and then plus us and the excitement and how quickly irritated they can get or how much they just fucking embrace you and like and making like fan cams and stuff like this. I knew it was big to so many people. I didn't know that it was like this this fucking big. Yeah. I would say don't spend too much time on Reddit. It's not worth it. If that's so.
Starting point is 00:30:59 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I just got back on Twitter and that too. I was like, I was in a thread. I got all tied up. I'm like, I don't know what the fuck's going on. The level of detail and minutia, like it's like, you know, when we were talking about the wine,
Starting point is 00:31:13 Aaron was drinking wine and I was facetiming her and I was telling my husband, I was like, oh my gosh, she's drinking wine. Go get me wine.

Starting point is 00:31:27 It was, we were not trying to be like, you know, comedians. It was just like a throwaway moment. But like, it was funny in the moment. Yeah. Well, I'm excited for people to get to know you more because obviously we, have known for since the fall that this is happening. But it's finally here. And people are getting to see it.
Starting point is 00:31:44 And one more thing about the fans, they like give us life. Yeah. They make us so happy because we see all these fan accounts like post like little excerpts and then they'll be like, I'm so excited for this one. And I'm so excited. And that like gets gets us energized.
Starting point is 00:31:57 So keep the good stuff coming because we're getting a lot of hate. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, we got to do a little like balance it out. Yeah. Balance it out. I think once they see it, they're going to be like, oh, okay. And they're like, you get that feeling.

Like, it is a runway. And I said it again, and I'll say it, like, one more time. I mean, it just, I think that's what New York is, right?
Starting point is 00:32:27 Essentially, it's, like, expressing yourself through just, like, how you dress and, like, all of that. It's just exciting. Yeah, and it's not trends, too, not to knock any other franchises. But it's like we're not, none of us roll up and like head to toe Blancheaga.
