, which did not include her. She also shares her opinions on some of her fellow “RHONY” alum, and answers whether she would ever return to Bravo after her complicated exit.
I do want to talk about your joke about being at the “ripe old age of 40.” You are the youngest judge to be in this space. Why does this genre need a new and younger voice to it? It feels – pardon the pun – like an honor, because you make an excellent point. The reality is there is no Judge Eboni without Judge Mablean, without Judge Glenda Hatchett, without Judge Lynn Toler, and there’s many others. So that is a beautiful, important legacy, including Judge Faith and Judge Lauren Lake, as well as my more youthful contemporaries.
I do suspect one day I will be able to sit down and maybe binge watch it, because I do view the reboot as my personal legacy. I feel proudly responsible for being the impetus, the catalyst for the network And I say this part to be to be messy, but also keep it really real. I don’t want to go to the Hamptons and eat no fucking barbecue with you, bitch, if we are not starting from a foundational place of aligned values. And I think that is where people get it fucked up and twisted watching these shows. We’re not actresses — although some of the these women be trying to act, but they’re not very good at it. So the reality is, I understand that viewers want to see a good time.
Should Bravo approach you to do a future season of “Ultimate Girls Trip,” would you be interested in hearing from them?
