00:00I feel good. I'm so excited. It's my first VMAs.
00:02Really? Oh my gosh.
00:03Yeah.
00:04First impressions?
00:05Um, this is like no red carpet I have ever seen in my life.
00:08Like, I've done red carpets before.
00:10This is on another level.
00:12It's always wild.
00:13It's crazy. Yeah.
00:15We're coming off a crazy season.
00:17Crazy, crazy season.
00:18What has life been like since cameras stopped rolling?
00:21Um, it's very normal.
00:23I mean, like, I'm busy.
00:24I've got my podcast.
00:27I wrote another chapter for my paperbacks coming out.
00:29I've got the four kids going back to school.
00:31So, you know, it's been very busy.
00:33But it's been nice to take, you know, to let all the hate die down
00:40and to realize how fast the cycle is.
00:43And, you know, people come back to you, so.
00:46Were you surprised about the backlash that you kind of faced at the end of the season?
00:50I knew it was coming.
00:52But I also know that it only really exists in my phone.
00:54Like, you meet people in real life and, like, everyone is, like, so loving and so lovely.
00:59So, I mean, it's all part of it, right? Yeah.
01:02Have you maintained your friendship with Teresa?
01:04Yes. Yeah, yeah.
01:06Do you consider her part of your, like, inner circle now?
01:09No, I don't think we're a part of each other's inner circles.
01:12But we are very both invested in growing a friendship.
01:16So, yeah.
01:17Do you think there's any chance you and Margaret could ever get back on track?
01:20Yeah, I mean, I don't hate anybody on this cast.
01:23I don't have a bad word to say about anybody.
01:25Everybody was making a show.
01:28I don't—I really don't have a bad word to say about anybody.
01:31Margaret and I were friends for a very long time.
01:34I don't think that anything was that, like, crazy that we can't get over it.
01:38Like, I know it was, like, the bombshell of the finale.
01:41But, like, in reality, it wasn't that big of a deal.
01:43You know what I'm saying? So, I don't—
01:46I mean, I think I—but I am a forgiver, you know?
01:49And I like to let go of things.
01:52And so I can't answer for everybody else, you know?
01:54There's other people who love to fight.
01:56I'm not one of those people.
01:57So, for me, yes. For her, I don't know.
02:01Did you see that bombshell coming at all?
02:04No. But as soon as she started talking, I was like, uh-oh.
02:07I know what's coming.
02:08But I have to say that it was a secret that I didn't like having.
02:13And so it was bad when it got revealed, of course.
02:16I knew because the whole world was gonna, like, make it a big deal.
02:19But it actually felt very good to me to not have a secret anymore
02:23because I knew that my friendship with Teresa was not—
02:29with that secret there, it was not a true friendship.
02:33So, I knew that once it was revealed, if we decided to move forward as friends,
02:37that was gonna be true.
02:39And so when she was like, I don't even care,
02:42then I knew we could really move forward with honesty
02:45because you can't keep a secret like that from a friend and have a normal friendship.
02:48Was that a sigh of relief, too, when she was like, whatever, it's fine?
02:52Because you were like, I don't know if I should tell her.
02:53I don't know if I should have been there.
02:54Of course, of course. Yeah, yeah.
02:57Where do you think the show goes from here?
02:58That's the million-dollar question.
03:00I mean, it's such a great show that I can't imagine that it wouldn't come back in some form.
03:05I do think things are gonna change because they sort of have to.
03:08It got too dark.
03:09The problem with Jersey is that fights go too far.
03:11And they get too dark, and they get too heavy,
03:14and then you can't come back from them, and then everybody hates.
03:17And I would love to see a cast, that includes me,
03:21where the fighting is more petty,
03:25and you can come back from it and have a good time.
03:28Do you almost foresee, like, two different shows in Jersey?
03:31Do you think that's possible?
03:33I have seen Bravo make decisions that have blown me away, so I have no idea.
03:38I think that it's going to be one show with some new, some old.
03:42That's my prediction, yeah.
