During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live, Bronwyn, 40, openly discussed her strained relationship with Lisa. She addressed Lisa’s alleged gossip, explaining why she was more forgiving of Whitney Rose, 39, and Angie Katsanevas, 51, despite them bringing up her supposed past legal issues. Additionally, Bronwyn shared insights into her husband’s reaction to Lisa’s derogatory comments and mentioned a potential encounter with Jeff Lewis, 55, at the upcoming BravoCon.
Bronwyn declared her stance on the November 4 episode of WWHL, expressing her frustration: “This is like the final example for me. I’ve always wondered about my relationship with Lisa, but it’s clear that she will continue this behavior, and I am done-done,” she stated, emphasizing why Lisa’s actions bothered her more than the actual cheating rumor.
Despite an apology from Lisa, who promised to refrain from discussing Todd or Bronwyn’s daughter, Gwen, 19, Bronwyn found her words insincere and remained resolute in her decision to distance herself from Lisa.
Although Lisa offered an apology, vowing not to speak about Todd or Bronwyn’s daughter, Gwen, 19, again, the words fell flat with Bronwyn.
“I was pretty clear in the episode that I think it’s rude when someone speaks to you. So I said, ‘Okay. Noted. Thank you.’ But I don’t believe it. No,” she confirmed.
As for who she believed was responsible for digging up dirt about her past, Bronwyn said that she believed Lisa played a role.
“I don’t think that Lisa digs or posts, but I do think she encourages other people to, and I think she lives for it when they do,” she explained.
After Whitney and Angie were seen bringing up the past charges, despite claims of Lisa being behind the reveal, Bronwyn was questioned about whether Lisa was truly the leak.
“I don’t know that that had anything to do with it coming up so much the way that it was in the press, which was what was really most upsetting to me and my family. I also have a good relationship with Angie and Whitney, and I really don’t think they meant any harm by that. I think they were just kind of catching [Mary Cosby] up and talking about where we were all going before the trip. And if they did mean any harm, they get a pass from me because we have a friendship already,” she reasoned.
As she answered rapid-fire questions from host Andy Cohen, 57, Bronwyn said that “somebody” from the RHOSLC cast “warned [her] about Jeff Lewis” ahead of BravoCon and named Britani Bateman, 54, as her co-star with the least impressive style.
“You did see me take her shopping. I tried to help,” she noted.
Looking back on Angie’s beach apology, Bronwyn suggested that Mary, 53, had facilitated their makeup before detailing another recent spat the two of them had.
“Mary’s coming for your gig,” she told Andy. “Angie and I had like a little tiff the other day, and Mary put us on a three-way call, made us apologize. Mary’s the new mediator. She’s the new Andy, for sure. She is keeping this group together. But no, Angie apologized, and I appreciated her saying that.”
When asked about her mother’s reaction to the show, Bronwyn confirmed Muzzy has been tuning in and seemingly learning from what she’s seen.
“The first time she appeared on the show, she came to me the next day and we had an amazing conversation. She was like, ‘Is this how I speak to you? Is it harsh?’” she revealed. “After the second one, she was kind of like, ‘Well, I didn’t think you should do that.’ She is Muzzy. She sticks to her opinions, and I’m happy that people are seeing it cuz I do love and respect my mom always, she’s my mom. But also, yeah, I do want her acceptance, and she’s a tough one to get acceptance from. So it’s a process.”
“More is coming with Muzzy, and I think it’s what some people in different family dynamics go through,” she added.
Then, after naming Daisy Kelliher, 38, as her favorite Below Deck crew member, Bronwyn shared Todd’s reaction to Lisa’s “gout d*ck-sucker” diss.
“Todd doesn’t watch. I have to repeat it to him. So that’s really fun for me to be like, ‘So they asked if I suck your gout d*ck.’ It’s not foreplay at my house, to be honest with you,” she stated.
Also on the live broadcast, Bronwyn said Lisa was guilty of not being accountable for her behavior, noted that Heather Gay, 51, “admitted” to hooking up with Captain Jason Chambers, 53, and said that when it came to the potstirrers of the cast, Lisa was the one causing drama “undercover” while Angie was doing so in a more obvious manner.
As for Jason sitting down at the costume dinner and then immediately proclaiming, “I’m out,” Bronwyn asked, “Wouldn’t you?”
