During the latest RHOSLC reunion, host Andy Cohen appeared to be upset when Meredith insinuated that the production team had set her up during the season. The situation escalated with an emotional scene where her fellow cast members rallied to defend the production team, leaving viewers puzzled.
In a conversation on the podcast Two Ts in a Pod, Tamra asked her co-host, Dolores Catania, if anyone on her show had been disrespectful to the production staff. The question was highlighted by the Instagram account @byewighellodrama.
Dolores responded confidently, saying, “Never, no. New Jersey’s not nasty like that.”
“Never, no,” said Dolores. “New Jersey’s not nasty like that.”
“Oh, we do,” said Tamra, referring to RHOC. “I’ll just … leave it at that.”
Dolores said the Jersey cast has had moments where they wanted production to leave them alone.
“Oh, yeah,” said Tamra. “But not like going off and blaming [production] for things … and taking it all the way to Bravo.”
Dolores responded, “[But] there are certain producers that do not deserve respect — none of who I’ve come across in a long time. But in the past, like the draconian producers who produce where they want to just run you into the ground and ruin your life — they’re there.”
Later on, Tamra reacted to Bronwyn’s split from husband Todd Bradley.
“I’ve said it a million times. If you come on to the show and you don’t have a good marriage, you will get divorced. It’s just that simple,” said Tamra, via @byewighellodrama. “The camera doesn’t lie. It’s gonna showcase the cracks in your marriage. And then when the cameras go down, it’s gonna make you guys fight more, and you’re gonna get separated.”
At one point, the co-hosts addressed Meredith’s comments about production.
“This is where it scares me for Meredith for her future on the show, because Meredith admits [she was] frustrated with production,” said Tamra. “And Andy’s saying this sentence right here: ‘What this time?’ … when Meredith blames production.”
“That wasn’t good,” said Dolores. “Production holds your life in their hands.”
Tamra later asked, “Is this the kiss of death for Meredith?” She also thinks the cast was being “performative” and “a**-kissy” when they tearfully defended production against Meredith’s complaints.
