Starting point is 00:00:46 Welcome back to the Mention It All podcast. I'm Dylan Hafer, and I'm so excited to be here with a returning guest, a returning Bravo Lab who's back for another season, and I can't wait to get into it. Danielle O'Neillera. Hi, Danielle. Hi. Season 8 of Summerhouse. When was the last time we talked?
Starting point is 00:01:02 I don't know. Well, the last time. Summer or winter? Oh, God. They all run together. What piping hot tea were really covering them? Well, the last time I talked to you, IRL, you were dressed as Lisa Barlow for our, for our Bech's performance.
Starting point is 00:01:17 God, I miss being Lisa. You really, you embodied it well. I mean, I tried. I had the Wendy's Cup and everything. Yeah, you're bling, your 60s. Yeah. I wore a wig, too. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:28 I was like, no one does the middle part quite like Lisa Barlow. You were a lot more committed to that than. than I was, I got to say. You're your Meredith is unmatched. I don't know if Meredith can do it as well as you did. That was amazing. Thank you. You obviously are an expert on reality TV.
Starting point is 00:01:46 What does it feel like that you have been on this show for so many seasons now? I almost just got like hot just listening to you say I'm an expert of reality TV. I'm like, I can't believe I'm here. I mean, if not you, then who? I'm just like, wow, we've really done this for this many years, huh? Yeah. It's funny, like, just watching these first couple episodes of the season, kind of the dynamics with you guys that have been on the show for so long. Obviously, with Lindsay and Carl, there's so much going on.
Starting point is 00:02:13 And your relationship with both of them and Kyle and Amanda, it's like, wow, we've really, we've been on this journey for a long time with you guys now. Yeah, like, we're growing up or like horizontally. We're trying. How do you feel like this season for you personally compares to, you? the last few seasons, just going into it from the beginning. Well, for one, I'm single as a goat, like, very single. Yeah, I just feel like I'm finally feeling myself in my own skin. I have great relationships with every single person in the house.
Starting point is 00:02:49 Like, there was no, you know, sometimes you kind of walk on eggshells. You don't know how it's going to go, post-reunion of it all. Like, how's this summer going to go? But this time, I mean, I feel like the ride out with all the girlies was said it all for me. Like the vibes were so high. I know we say vibes a lot. But it was just such a great feeling that like we were just all the girls just loved each other. And we were just laughing and carrying on that entire right out. It really set the tone, I think, for me for that for this entire summer. Yeah. We were just talking about how that first weekend after you guys went to the carnival and you, you know,
Starting point is 00:03:22 were getting to know, do you have two new guys in the house? It felt like everyone really just had a blast in a way that we don't always get from everyone on summer house. Yeah, like how refreshing. We're having fun. Summer should be fun. Yeah, and not to mention, I crushed it at the carnival. So, like, I was really riding that high. You're like, when I show up, like, I'm going to do the activity to the fullest.
Starting point is 00:03:47 I'm not just like. I'm going to win. There's like a trail of little kids following me to get all my stuffed animals. I felt so good about myself. You're like texting the producers. You're like, can we go back to the carnival? Yeah, yeah. How fun was that?
Starting point is 00:03:59 I feel like that's honestly, though, when you've, when you've been on the show for a long time, I feel like it's important to stay to like keep enjoying it as it happens versus like, well, it's my job to go to the house now. So I'm going to go to the house and do my job. Like that you are still there like with your friends enjoying the summer house experience. I must say it really rarely ever feels like a job. Yeah. Until the morning.
Starting point is 00:04:25 I mean like you're still here. When they put on all those goddamn lights. And it's like an hour before you would feel it comfortable someone coming into your bedroom. It's like you're still kind of like tossing. And then all of a sudden the lights are on. They're like, all right, let's start the day. I'm like, what? It's like sometimes just in my everyday life, it's like I open the blinds a little too quick in the morning.
Starting point is 00:04:45 And it's like, oh. Imagine that times a billion because all of the lights are so bright. Yeah. Do you feel like obviously, you know, the lights in the morning aren't the most fun all the time. but do you feel like the sort of like day-to-day experience of filming kind of falls away for you as you're like going through your day with your friends at the house? Yeah, I mean, the morning is the only time it actually feels like work. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:10 The rest of the time, I'm just happy to be there. And we just like have fun because I'm kind of like always in the mix. I'm just like living my life there. I think that's the thing like with this group, obviously you've been through a lot of changes of people coming and going. and, you know, new people joining the show. It's not like it's literally the same group that you've always been with. But in a lot of ways, it kind of feels like it is. Like, in watching this week's episode in particular, I was just like, yeah, like, I don't know,
Starting point is 00:05:40 like Sierra's been here forever. Page has been here forever. Like, it doesn't really feel like there's kind of this like phases of it where I feel like with some shows. I think that's the format. I think we have a brilliant format because everyone does do sharehouses in the Hamptons. It's very natural for people of all ages to be in one house together. I mean, Kyle's 41.
Starting point is 00:06:04 So like, but it doesn't feel that way because we're all kind of just like in it doing like we all have the same reason to be there. Just to have a good time blow up some steam before we go back and work during the work week. So I feel like the format of the show really like it's good. Yeah. It's working. It was so funny. The like the teaser that they put out for the new show that Jackson, Brittany and them are doing. Valley.
Starting point is 00:06:25 Yeah, where it's like learning how to be adults. Jackson. Kyle might be the new one. We'll do the city. I like seeing on the show, I feel like we, over the, as the seasons have gone on, we've gotten like a little bit more of the back and forth between the city and the Hamptons. And seeing, like, in this episode, there were a few different kind of like vignettes or scenes that we got in the city. Like, I think it, people obviously enjoy.
Starting point is 00:06:54 watching you guys enough to care beyond just like what theme party are they having this weekend. Even the camera work, not to like be too fourth wall, but like I was like, oh my God, Lindsay and Carl look great and the scene. Like I was like, this is a well done scene. The same thing with Kyle and Amanda. I'm like, oh, because they're not running around like a bunch of idiots in the backyard. Someone's from getting to pull. And actually focus on them. I was like, this is brilliant camera work. Well, I think across the board like Bravo shows reality TV in general. like the production value now versus like eight years ago. It's like, wow, we're really the cinematic transitions.
Starting point is 00:07:31 I mean, finally they heard me when I say put a glow filter on it. Oh, no, if you see me this past episode, though, I looked like absolute trash the next morning. Like, I was like, how did I let myself go downstairs? And then I was like, what happened the night before? Because it kind of cuts at the Fourth of July party being over. We do like a club send like moment. And then it seems like we go to sleep. we did not go to sleep
Starting point is 00:07:55 Gabby myself Kyle we went out that night and we got back horrendously late early however you want to say and then I had to like go to work the next morning
Starting point is 00:08:08 and I was like girl didn't even put a base foundation on it was just like there's no lash happening there was nothing and I was like I was mortified but I had to look back in my photos I'm like oh that's why so I give myself a little grace over I feel like over the course of doing this
Starting point is 00:08:23 this many years. It's like there are certain moments where it's just like, you know what? Nobody's going to remember. Yeah. Good sleep is everything. That's why Ali's science back support is made with a blend of melatonin and L-Dien for both kiddos and grown-ups. So when your mind won't switch off, you've got
Starting point is 00:08:42 something that can help. You're racing thoughts and restless nights won't stand a chance. Find Ollie's sleep solutions for the whole family at Ollie.com. That's O-L-L-L-Y.com. Whatever your thing. It could be anything.

Generate images or videos of your thing. Make decks for presentations to show your thing. Whatever needs to be done for your thing, Canva can make it an even better and bigger thing.
Starting point is 00:09:21 Canva, the thing that makes anything a thing. So coming into this season, you obviously went through a lot with your relationship with Lindsay last year. And you definitely had some nerves, some complicated feelings about kind of navigating that this season. How did you kind of mentally prepare yourself to be back in this environment and kind of figure out the next steps in that relationship? So, well, the best thing that Lindsay and I did was have a conversation off camera before we started filming. And we kind of just laid it all out all over again, had a great understanding and then set up some boundaries. So I, you know, went into it wanting to have a fresh, clean slate. And you'll see that.
Starting point is 00:10:09 But as the season goes on, it's really difficult for me to like completely build that wall up because there's so many fun things that, you know, especially being the Hamptons under the same roof, we're just so good at like getting ready together, you know, going downstairs first and grabbing a glass of rosé like there's so many things that we share together and memories that like it's so easy to fall back to that place um when it came to her and Carl I just wanted to make it clear that I was in support but that I was going to stay as far away from their relationship as possible yeah it's well it's tricky like on a show like yours setting the boundaries is a lot easier if you're not sleeping in the same house yeah most of the time that you're filming I mean like on on other shows you might
Starting point is 00:10:54 be able to get away with like, okay, like, we're going to see each other at like group dinners and we'll get lunch a few times. Right. In this show, it's like, yeah, you're, if you can't kind of have that everyday casual rapport, it really, it must like great on you really quickly. Yeah. And so we were just really great at the casual report. It was actually so much fun. Yeah. So that was really great.
Starting point is 00:11:17 But then towards the end of the season, you know, I had to step in and go into full friend mode. Yeah, it's obviously a lot has happened from what we're watching on the show right now to where we are in real life right now. I mean, I have spent time. I've seen you and Lindsay together. Obviously, things are in a different place. Was it like, what was it challenging? I mean, obviously Lindsay kind of was going through a tough time personally, but was it challenging for you to kind of figure out how to navigate that as the season went on? and then obviously since then.
Starting point is 00:11:56 So in the beginning of the summer, I had no idea what was going on. And I don't think, I think they were doing a lot of, of the fighting or, you know, whatever it was behind closed doors. As the season, like, as the season kept, you know, continuing on,
Starting point is 00:12:13 then everyone was kind of like, okay, there's something going on here. But a lot of it, like, we had no idea about or how bad it was or what have you. So it was interesting, because I think that they, you know, similar to last summer, like you want to put on, we're going to get married or we're going to get engaged.
Starting point is 00:12:29 You want to put on that you are in a good place, that you're happy. Because otherwise, everyone in the house is going to talk about it and be like, should they get married? I mean, like, we saw what happened with Kyle and Amanda when they were building,
Starting point is 00:12:43 going into their wedding, we were just like, should they get married? Like, why isn't Amanda excited about it? I was like, well, because it's been three years and a pandemic happened. Like, maybe she's just not. thrilled about the wedding invitations. But we, we questioned it then too. So I thought it was all very
Starting point is 00:12:58 normal fighting and figuring stuff out and normal chatter within the house. Because again, we talk about things and it's right, you know, right under our nose. So like the question always becomes, are they going to, are they going to make it? Are they going to go down, like walk down the aisle? So I wasn't like, I guess like I was just like unfazed a little bit at first. Yeah. And I feel like on a day-to-day level, maybe it's like, oh, they're annoyed with each other or something like that, but you're not thinking like they were arguing at breakfast. That means they're not going to get married. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:13:33 I'm like, people fight. Like, people get annoyed with each other. I, you know, I just think that I think that's way more normal, to be honest. You know, the picture perfect thing that happened last summer I thought was way less normal. I was like, there's, what? I feel like that's part of what made it challenging for maybe you. and some other people to kind of like fully feel like you're on board if you're getting if you feel like you're not getting the real yeah like what's the sauce like what's going on here yeah um but this summer
Starting point is 00:14:01 I was like okay there's there's something going on but I'm not going to read too much into it and obviously didn't not expect what would happen at the very end yeah do you feel like it's been you know several months, I guess, since you guys finished filming. Do you feel like has your, do you feel like your friendship with Lindsay has kind of been like on a solid trajectory, like since that time? Yeah, absolutely. I think that she, I mean, she's, she's been a great friend and heard me when I said before the summer, like, I want you to be invested in my life as well. You know, I have my app coming out. Like, I have imposter syndrome. Like, it's really, you know, I would really love for you to also be there for me in that capacity, not just when it comes to relationships. And she really heard that. And she
Starting point is 00:14:49 did that. She kept checking in. She continues to check in. And she's very supportive. And now she's, you know, doing her own thing and has a whole Airbnb. Like, so, you know, I love that kind of Lizzie, like the one who she's, you know, she's a badass. She's a workaholic. She, you know, she knows who she is. And I feel like she's, she's back. And maybe, maybe that's why we're better than ever now. I don't know. But like, I feel like this is who she is. I feel like, you know, I hate to say that, but, you know, because she was, she did want to get married.
Starting point is 00:15:24 But I feel like this is, I don't know, she's very true to who she is right now. I feel like that's a super relatable thing. That it's like everybody has relationships and friendships where it's like you're not always on the same. It's like if you're going through kind of like different phases or something. Yeah, like if she were pregnant or something and I'm still single. It can be hard to just sort of like line up where you are in life and how you can be there for one another where it's like that push and pull of like maybe you need a little more today and maybe I need a little more tomorrow. And it's not like I don't support you or I'm not extremely happy for you and where you are. But it's just like I also have my own needs in this friendship and I want them to be heard.
Starting point is 00:16:04 And last summer that didn't go over very well. And it kind of got lost in her feeling like I didn't support her. But that is in the past fully. And, you know, our friendship is, is pretty great. I love to hear that because in the episode that I just watched, like you, you sort of say that, that it's like, obviously, I want to get to a better place, but that doesn't necessarily mean the exact same way that it was before. And I think that that's, I mean, like, as we get older and we mature. It's like very, like, it sounds sappy. But it's like, yeah, you like learn more things and become a different person.
Starting point is 00:16:39 Yeah. And sometimes it takes, you know, some of that bad stuff. and it did in our case in order to get to this really great place that we are now. I want to talk about this night out that happens in episode two of the season. We get a lot of different perspectives of it. Amanda literally is reading off of notes that she took on the night out in her confessional. I thought that was so funny. I was cackling.
Starting point is 00:17:02 I'm like, no, she didn't. I know how many hours of housewives Amanda has watched. Oh, my God. I love her so much for that. Producer brain. I okay but I don't in the episode and I don't think we got kind of like your version of events on that night Because I purposely removed myself from like what was going on like Amanda was way more like Oh there's something going on over there like I think that they're in a fight I was just like just dancing by myself like having a good time
Starting point is 00:17:32 Yeah so like what was what was kind of your experience that night because obviously you know Gabby and Lindsay came back earlier I texted them just wondering why they left so early. Yeah. And it was very much, you know, he's dismissing me. He's like, you know, he must be on something kind of. And I was like, yeah, I looked at him. I was like, no, that's, you know.
Starting point is 00:17:54 And so I was like, I'm not going to get too much into it. Because again, I saw this, you know, I don't want to, I want to still have that boundary. But like it seemed pretty serious. I didn't think that the text message or what I heard about it was going to be as serious as it was. I thought maybe she just got, you know, a little too drunk. and wanted to go home. Yeah. But it was,
Starting point is 00:18:12 it was a lot more serious. And then the next morning, I discovered that she didn't sleep in her own bed, that she slept in Gabby's. And I was like, oh, good God, our first night. Like,
Starting point is 00:18:22 what's going on? And that's the extent of it. Yeah. Like I was out with, with everyone. And again, I tried to just remove myself and continue that. Well,
Starting point is 00:18:31 I think it's tough because at that point, you guys were still kind of like figuring out your dynamic with each other. And just- I would have been the Gabby in that scenario. I'd be like, all right, let's piece out of this thing. And even like just thinking about it from like people at home watching the show, I feel like if you had been like, Lindsay, let's get you out of here and take you home.
Starting point is 00:18:47 People would be like, Danielle's trying to separate. Not again. So good, so good. Everything you want for summer is at Nordstrom rack stores now and up to 60% off.

Starting point is 00:19:16 Great brands, great prices. That's why you rack. Girl, winter is so last season. 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. That perfect hang on the patio sundress. Those sandals you can wear all day and all night.
Starting point is 00:19:39 And you've had enough of you. 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. Obviously, you're going to live your life and make your choices, but when you are filming the show, how much do you think about, like, this is going to be on TV in eight months and people are going to have feelings and thoughts about my choices? I mean, the past two seasons, it's, well, definitely last summer. But this time, I feel like, I feel a lot better just because I don't know as much as other people in the house, no. And to be honest, as much as Lindsay was my priority and that friendship
Starting point is 00:20:24 was my priority, I still wanted to navigate a new friendship with Carl as well. So I didn't want to hear negativity at all because I'm the supportive friend right now. I want to, everything is going to be great. You guys are going to get married and I support that 100%. So I don't want to hear anything bad. And I don't to be caught in like, you know, the gossip of it all or, you know, picking sides like that early on. Because, you know, and I'm glad Gabby was there for her, truly, because she needed, she needed someone in her corner that night. And so, you know, normally that would be me, but I'm glad that it wasn't because I'm trying to, it's going to be difficult to watch, I guess, knowing what I know, but I truly try to be a friend to Carl as well. And we do have some really great conversations
Starting point is 00:21:07 coming up. So, yeah, hopefully Lindsay's okay with that. Yeah. How has your, dynamic with Carl kind of evolved in the wake of them not being together anymore. So at the very end when we picked everything back up the girls rallied around
Starting point is 00:21:26 Lindsay. At that point I'm very much Team Lindsay. And I really and I told production I was like I would really love to have a conversation with Carl and Carl declined. And so like I think that that would have maybe changed a lot of things if I maybe have heard
Starting point is 00:21:42 heard his side a little bit sooner, but I still don't know really where he was coming from. I only know, you know, Lindsay's side of events. Going with that one. Yeah. Well, it's tough. And then when you're in the off season, it's like, okay, I'll see you at BravoCon. I'll see you at the reunion. It's like you're a, what I was attitudey to him at BravoCon.
Starting point is 00:22:05 I really was. I think there were a lot of attitude moments happening at BravoCon. Yeah. He was wearing like a graffiti blazer and I was like, oh, I remember a blazer like that. You were to the prom with Lindsay, remember? It's like so petty. I think I saw, I ran into Lindsay. It was like the morning before you, y'all's panel at BravoCon.
Starting point is 00:22:25 And she was like, she's like, do people hate me? I was like, people don't hate you. She was so nervous. Well, but it's like, the funny thing about BravoCon is that I think it feels scary to be like confronted by so many people. but like 99% of those people are going to be like, I love you so much. Can I take a selfie? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:44 But I think she also like, I love how human she felt at that panel. Yeah. And then Carl, I was like, whoa, did someone write that for him? That's pretty good. She's over here shaking and nervous and like coming from the heart. And he's just, I was like, whoa. It's tough. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:01 It's tough because, I mean, like, you know, when things are happening live and in the moment like that, it's like there's a lot of emotions. there's a lot of, you know, strangers in the room. I mean, I just like, I like when people see that vulnerable side of Lindsay. I think that that's kind of way more of how I know her versus, you know, the one who, that tough exterior, you know, the Leo of Lindsay. When you think about watching back like the rest of this season, what's the kind of feeling that you have about that?
Starting point is 00:23:34 Like, how are you in general, like, watching your? yourself on the show? I have to do it, so I do it. But generally, I, it's, because I'm just like, what did I do? And what did I look like? And like, what else? What did I do? What did I say?
Starting point is 00:23:51 And then like you have other people saying things about you. It's always so interesting. I just like would rather leave the experience, like, how it was. But obviously we have to watch it back. I think that for, and people can blame me if they want, but I'll feel less concerned about myself and my behavior this summer and more in tune with how Lindsay might be feeling after something is aired because to relive all of that. I can't imagine it. Like our friendship was one thing, but this is someone that she thought that she was going to walk down the aisle
Starting point is 00:24:22 towards. And so like I just, you know, my heart breaks to have to, for her to have to relive all of that. Yeah. And I think seeing kind of the, the additional context around it and what people are saying in interviews and confessions, it's like kind of seeing the whole like package of it. Yeah. And people like, you know, people are going to see Carl's side. Like there's, you know, there's, there's going to be those moments and that's going to hurt her too, right? Because, you know, she felt so wronged and so betrayed by, you know, what happened. And then, you know, there's, you know, there's what happened just this past episode, you know, like that's, I was like, that wasn't a good look.
Starting point is 00:25:05 I mean, on her, like, her part was, like, I think that that was a bad thing to, to say at the time. Yeah. And it's tough because it's, like, feelings don't always have to be, like, one for one with, like, every, every single, like, second of footage that happened over the summer. It's like, you can still feel a certain way, even if there was, like, you know, perhaps foreshadowing or something. Like, yeah, I completely agree. And, like, I hope that, I don't know, I hope that she, she survives all of it. and with her head held high. I think she will.
Starting point is 00:25:37 But, you know, if I know my feelings about how ours went down, reliving that, and then having what happened at Winter House, reliving that, man, it is, it is rough out there. It is rough in the DMs. It's rough in the comment section. Like, people are just, you know, they can be so ruthless and so mean. So, and it becomes a big distraction on your, like, you know, everyday mental health. Yeah. You recently also got a lot of attention for what happened with you and Joe Bradley.
Starting point is 00:26:08 Uh-huh. How was that for you? We don't have to get like into it, into it. I'm just curious, like, because it seemed like things happened so fast and then didn't. And I don't know. I say this because it's the truth. I was absolutely love-bombed. And it was just like so quickly he was like, you know, I love you.
Starting point is 00:26:32 And you know, you're my girlfriend. That's how he would introduce me. And I just kind of like leaned in. I was like, this feels good. Yeah. And then he was doing press for. Cuffing season. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:43 And it was like around my birthday. I'm like, oh, this is great. And then like he was doing press for Southern hospitality. So of course he's like out there talking about stuff. And, you know, I mean, we met at Bravo Con for God's steak. So like I couldn't like, oh, we have to have a secret relationship. Even Andy knew about it. So like that part, you know, it was fine until it wasn't.
Starting point is 00:27:05 And now it's, you know, it's, it's a dumpster fire. It's okay. I feel like, you know. The love bamboo. It's like a, it's a little, it's a blip. It's a little moment. It's a little moment. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:27:21 Well, you won't have to relive that one on, on TV, I don't think. So. No, no. Thank goodness. You're like, that didn't happen in the summer house. So. No. Oh boy.
Starting point is 00:27:33 You know what I was just thinking? I feel like you would loki be really good on the traders. This is the second time I'm hearing that today. And now I agree with you. Before I was like, would I? I would love to join that show. I mean, it's phenomenal. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:48 I mean, so Kyle did it last season. Yeah. It's been blowing up this year. I'm like, we've got to make some calls. I mean, me, Lindsay, Paige. Yeah, you could have a. a whole little traders click. The cliques of my content. Like, that's why I would say I would all be really good at it. Page would pack like 74 suitcases. I would love to see those fits on traders.
Starting point is 00:28:13 Yeah. Yeah. The fashion alone, it's like, it's like the reason to do it. I mean, like, how many people wear berets on that show? Oh my God. It's insane. I'm like, wow, do I want a beret now? I don't even, I did talk, I talked to Fadra and she was like, yeah, I had like three days to get all my outfits together. I'm like, okay. The girlfriend turned it out. I know. And that she's, have like a makeup artist there like she has to painting her face as she's sleeping and then she wakes up like that yeah good I'm like do they have Scottish glam yeah what's happening over there in that old house I don't know but I feel like I mean you've been on winter house holding it down I feel like we could get you out of the country and doing something fun I mean now they were put on pause
Starting point is 00:28:53 yeah get me over there okay manifesting traders for Danielle great season of summer house coming up I'm curious, I've been asking everyone the last few months and I think the answers are super interesting. You've been on this show for a long time. How do you feel like doing reality TV as a whole has changed you or impacted you as a person? I definitely have more anxiety now. But I think overall it's, you know, pushed me to face some demons, to learn a lot more about myself, to understand my relationships, whether it be with, you know, significant others or with just friends, I think it really pushes your, you know, the who you are of it all. Like what, who are you in this world? And are you a good person? And if you're not, like, how do we course correct that? Like, the mirror is just so
Starting point is 00:29:45 big. You know, like you are really looking at yourself. And, you know, I think that for the most part, the platform that it's given me and just, you know, putting people that look like myself or have a similar background, whether it be professionally or how I grew up. I think that is huge. I think representation is like the biggest thing, especially with a Hampton, Hamptons based show. Like this Puerto Rican has been there for a bit now. And she's not leaving. Right. Like you've got your own bedroom. You can be off the show, but I'll still be out there. I love it. Well, Danielle, thank you so much for being here.
