00:00 - Oh God.
00:01 - I watched the first three episodes.
00:02 The show is funny, drama, nostalgic.
00:05 I think it's everything that the fans are gonna want
00:07 from the Roni girls.
00:08 Dorinda, I'm gonna start with you.
00:10 What was your reaction when you saw who the lineup was
00:12 of the women that were picked to go on this trip?
00:15 - Listen, excited.
00:16 I always love to be back together with the girls.
00:19 I was just excited to be back on a trip with the girls
00:21 and, you know, all reconnect 'cause it's been a minute,
00:24 especially been a minute for me.
00:26 So it was great.
00:27 And the last one I did was "Ultimate Girl Trip 2"
00:30 which was all, you know, non-New York house life.
00:32 So it was nice to be back with the old crew.
00:34 - Yeah.
00:35 - And the Berserk shares, that was amazing.
00:37 I mean, epic.
00:38 - I said, I know you filmed with Kelly.
00:40 So it was interesting, you know,
00:40 I know Kelly from New York and stuff,
00:43 but I didn't, I've never got the opportunity
00:45 to film with her, but somehow I felt like
00:47 because she's sort of an old New Yorker, right?
00:48 So I guess it was like, she was part of us, you know?
00:51 - Yeah.
00:52 - And then for me, just got me-
00:53 - It's just that I only filmed with one season.
00:54 So it was nice to re-film with Kristen.
00:57 - Oh yeah, yeah.
00:58 And then for me, coming off "Crappy Lakes",
01:01 six weeks with Luanne just reminded me
01:03 how much I missed Dorinda.
01:06 You know, our last couple of seasons together were so good.
01:09 We had so much fun together and we really connected
01:11 'cause we had a little speed bump in the beginning
01:13 when she came into Ramona's home and had my room.
01:16 - Yeah.
01:16 - I was like, "What? Who's this bitch?
01:18 There's a new bitch on Ronnie."
01:20 So yeah, I wanted to get back with her
01:22 and to see, of course, Ramona.
01:24 And you know, it's already out in the news, we share a room.
01:26 And then like Dorinda,
01:28 I wanted to see what Kelly and Kristen were up to.
01:31 It's been so long, you know?
01:34 - That brings me to you.
01:35 What was your reaction when you got the call?
01:37 'Cause you obviously have been on the show
01:38 for the longest of this group of women.
01:40 So what was that reaction from you?
01:42 - From me?
01:43 - Yeah, I just was repeating the same sentiment.
01:45 Same sentiment, just missing, you know, my girls
01:47 and the opportunity to catch up with Kristen and Kelly,
01:50 see what was going on in their lives.
01:51 You know, Kelly got engaged and she's getting a new family.
01:54 Kristen has a family and is married.
01:56 So a lot has transpired.
01:58 I know the fans were dying to know
02:00 what the heck has been going on with Kristen and Kelly,
02:02 'cause they have their own followers
02:04 that have stayed by their side,
02:05 even when they're off camera.
02:07 And then I mean, it's been a minute
02:09 since I could be with Dorinda on a trip
02:11 because she lives far from me.
02:13 And then my townhouse was rented.
02:15 So I was traveling with my tour,
02:17 Sonya in Your City, the comedy tour.
02:20 So I didn't even get to see Luanne after Benton.
02:23 You know, we did Crappy Lake there for six weeks.
02:26 - I'm sure you had plenty of time to spend
02:27 during that experience, so.
02:29 - Oh my God, yes.
02:30 - Yes, well, Kristen, how is it just for you
02:32 to doing this crazy experience again with these women?
02:35 - I mean, believe it or not, it's like riding a bike.
02:37 I know I've been saying that over and over again,
02:39 but it really is.
02:40 It's like, you kind of just pick up where you left off.
02:42 I mean, the good news is not, a lot has changed.
02:45 And I think that that's kind of fun
02:47 for Kelly and I to kind of come in and be like,
02:49 "Hey girls, like what actually has been going on?
02:51 Or we heard about this or tell us about that."
02:53 And I think fans will also enjoy my question asking.
02:56 (laughs)
02:58 - Oh my God, you used the word fans.
02:59 I'm afraid, that's your boss, Kristen.
03:03 - I said, "The fans."
03:05 I said, "The fans," not my fans.
03:07 And then-
03:08 - That whole, about you.
03:10 - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:11 And then I think it's interesting too,
03:13 because, you know, Kelly and I,
03:15 we have these amazing four OG women.
03:19 And I think it's nice, 'cause I think Kelly and I
03:21 kind of just add a little bit of a different spice
03:23 to what everybody left off with.
03:25 So it's like, you know, recapping on the,
03:28 where they left off,
03:29 and then it's like a whole new journey, which is fun.
03:31 - Yeah.
03:32 Sonia, you take a little heat for not apparently
03:34 talking to the girls when you're not filming.
03:36 Is that true?
03:37 And what do you make about them
03:38 kind of getting upset with you about that?
03:40 - It's true.
03:41 It's always been true.
03:42 And I think Dorinda understands it the best
03:46 because she's a Sagittarius like me.
03:48 We may be very extroverted.
03:49 We like to make it nice.
03:51 And we always have a great time.
03:53 - We have a Scorpio rising too.
03:55 - When you don't see it, we're recharging.
03:57 We're recharging and we really are housewives.
03:59 We are busy taking care of several level homes.
04:03 And, you know, I know that Dorinda's daughter
04:06 still comes to visit quite a bit.
04:07 My daughter, we're very busy,
04:10 but we do miss the girls
04:11 and we pick up right where we left off.
04:13 And Louie Aron and I are like an old married couple
04:15 and Ramona and I will always be family.
04:17 So they give me a lot of shit.
04:21 - Dorinda, I would assume it was a relief
04:23 for you not to have to host this show.
04:25 (Dorinda laughs)
04:27 - That was, it was a totally different experience
04:30 than I was looking so forward to being a guest
04:32 because it's so funny when they asked me
04:34 to do "Ultimate Girls Trip 2",
04:35 I kind of didn't really realize that, you know,
04:39 it was like having two roles
04:41 because I had to get the house.
04:42 Showed up like 10 days before we filmed
04:44 and got the house ready
04:45 and then stayed seven days afterwards to take it all down.
04:47 135 people were on my property at one point.
04:51 - Wow.
04:52 - It was a lot.
04:53 I loved every minute of it, but it was,
04:55 and I didn't realize how much they kind of
04:57 were gonna count on me to kind of take control of it
04:59 and oversee the girls.
05:00 So it was nice to just be able to be a little bit of,
05:04 you know, just part of the group and observe a bit.
05:07 And I have a moment to get to, you know,
05:09 reconnect with everybody in such a beautiful environment.
05:12 And I love St. Barth's
05:13 and we have the iconic house where it all happened.
05:16 So.
05:17 - Kristen, going into it,
05:20 were you anticipating your personal life
05:22 and your husband being brought up?
05:24 Because that does happen, you know,
05:26 don't wanna get ahead of ourselves.
05:27 Was that something you were expecting before you got to?
05:29 - Yeah, of course.
05:31 You know, that was something that happened
05:32 when I was not obviously filming all these years.
05:34 So I knew it was gonna come up.
05:36 Yeah, definitely.
05:37 - Yeah.
05:38 And how do you- - He handled it well.
05:39 - Yeah, I was gonna ask how you feel-
05:40 - I mean, you know, it was so,
05:44 I think that the hard part was,
05:45 it was so long ago.
05:47 So it was like, you know,
05:48 you're like going way backwards to kind of move forward.
05:51 So it's obviously something that I have dealt with personally
05:53 a very, very long time ago.
05:55 And Josh and I are come out stronger than ever.
05:57 And, you know, to have to like rehash it all.
06:00 I mean, you see, you watched it.
06:02 So, you know, people just have to kind of watch and see
06:04 and it all gets put out there and we all move on
06:07 and, you know, end up having a great time, so.
06:09 - Onward and upwards.
06:10 And, you know, I think the fans just needed to know
06:12 that everything was good and how you handled it.
06:15 And kudos to you, you know, keeping your family together
06:18 and being there for your children.
06:19 You know, it's really, really good news.
06:21 And it came out and-
06:22 - I love the fact that, you know,
06:25 obviously I only filmed with Kristen for one season,
06:28 but, you know, I thought she came back very strong
06:31 with a strong voice and a great presence.
06:33 And I was really, even when she came after me,
06:36 I was like, that's-
06:37 (Kristen laughs)
06:39 - She held her own.
06:40 - And Rinda respects that.
06:41 - I'm good at dealing with it,
06:42 but I'm kind of liking what's going on here.
06:45 - So funny.
06:47 - Yeah, no, I was-
06:47 - Yeah, but it was sort of a sleeper hit, if I may say,
06:50 because most of the fans were expecting Dorinda and Ramona
06:52 to bring the drama and drive it.
06:55 But emotionally, like you said, Kristen,
06:58 a lot of things have changed.
07:00 Some things have stayed the same.
07:02 And I think everyone was really shocked
07:04 that it was going to be Dorinda and, you know,
07:06 and Kristen going at it.
07:08 I was, for one.
07:11 - It's a good matchup.
07:13 - Ramona was pretty calm during this trip as far as-
07:15 - She was.
07:16 - Okay.
07:17 - But she, what's the phrase?
07:18 She pulled the tail.
07:19 Dorinda, what is, pull the tail?
07:21 That is the phrase?
07:22 (Kristen laughs)
07:23 - Yeah, I said, if you pull my tail, I'm going to bite.
07:26 I guess I said, who knows?
07:28 To tell you the truth,
07:28 I know everybody thinks I come on the show
07:30 with these sayings somewhere.
07:32 I really don't.
07:33 They just sort of fall out of my mouth.
07:35 And then I, everyone afterwards asked me about that.
07:37 I'm like, I don't remember.
07:38 All I know is two days later,
07:40 there's a t-shirt being sold on Etsy.
07:42 - I know, the pigeons.
07:43 What was it?
07:44 I don't even remember.
07:45 Pigeons, eagles, pigeons.
07:46 I mean, that was like amazing.
07:48 I was sitting there going, pigeons, eagles.
07:51 Like that's the definite, yeah, you got to trademark that.
07:53 - And Sonia at the end is, what is it again?
07:55 I said, I don't know.
07:56 Which phrases that people relate to and say, me too.
08:07 You know?
08:09 - Sonia, I spoke to Luann and Kelly two days ago
08:11 and Luann said that Tinsley was potentially
08:14 in the mix to be on the trip.
08:15 Is that true?
08:15 - I know that I think we all were,
08:18 any ex-housewife or current housewife
08:21 or whatever the hell we are, paused and pissed.
08:24 We were all potential, right?
08:30 I would have been happy to see Tinsley,
08:31 but in hindsight, since I was not invited to her wedding
08:35 and I brought her on the show
08:36 and I hosted her in my home,
08:40 even her housekeeping and her food,
08:42 to not be invited to the wedding was very strange to me.
08:46 - You weren't invited to the wedding?
08:47 - Wow.
08:48 - Who was it?
08:49 - The stewards.
08:50 - Yeah, who was?
08:50 Was anybody invited, you guys?
08:52 - Her brand new friend that she met through me, Leah.
08:55 - Hey, Sweeney.
08:57 - Oh, wow.
08:58 - She didn't know her
08:59 and she didn't know any of the housewives.
09:01 She was my friend, like family.
09:03 And you know what?
09:04 Now I'm going to back it up.
09:05 I'm going to back it up, Dorinda.
09:07 You know what?
09:08 Sometimes once you're off the show
09:09 and you're going into a marriage with children,
09:12 like you just want to cross your T's,
09:15 dot your I's, keep it clean and stay out of a fishbowl.
09:18 So probably-
09:19 - Yeah, forget about the past.
09:20 - Yeah, it probably wasn't personal.
09:21 It was probably a professional decision.
09:24 And like, I just, or a brand decision.
09:27 Let's say she didn't want me there distracting from,
09:29 you know, who wants to talk about housewives
09:31 when you're getting married?
09:32 - She's not so off the grid too.
09:33 It's like surprising.
09:34 - Yeah, when you don't film with your husband, exactly.
09:38 - Yeah.
09:39 - Speaking of being on pause, Dorinda,
09:41 this also comes up on the show.
09:43 - It does.
09:44 - A group of ladies, are you all on pause?
09:45 Are some people fired and some people on pause?
09:47 How do you define these terms?
09:49 - I'm fired.
09:50 - I never defined the terms.
09:52 It was Andy Cohen that defined the terms.
09:54 I just got stuck with this label.
09:56 And now I guess Camel was put on pause.
09:58 And I think there's a,
10:00 I think probably in the Webster dictionary,
10:02 if you look up the word pause, my face is there, I guess.
10:05 Because it was never,
10:07 I think it was a gentle way of Andy Cohen letting me down,
10:10 you know, and then going on the radio show
10:12 to confirm me that it, and I was like, okay,
10:15 well, I guess that's what it is right now.
10:17 - Well, I like pause better than fired.
10:19 And I think that nobody's ever gonna put Dorinda
10:23 in a box, right?
10:24 - Yeah.
10:25 - She's not going anywhere.
10:26 She has such a loyal following everywhere I go.
10:29 What's she doing here without Dorinda?
10:31 I mean, I can't tell you how many times I've heard that.
10:34 And nobody wants to do anything
10:36 without Dorinda making it nice.
10:37 - I think after this show,
10:38 the truth of the matter is,
10:39 and I hope that Sonya and Kristen agree,
10:41 and the other girls, they can't live without us.
10:44 (laughing)
10:45 - I definitely see the legends coming back together.
10:48 - They can't live without us.
10:49 - I also could see a crossover "Ultimate Girls" trip
10:52 with some of the new girls.
10:52 - I would like the girls to come back up to the Berkshires
10:55 and maybe put on some of the new girls.
10:58 But as I said to someone the other day, you know,
11:01 the audience has been thirsting for us
11:03 and this is just too little of a water to give them.
11:06 - Yeah, I agree.
11:07 - It's your glass full.
11:09 - It's gonna be more for sure.
11:10 - It's gonna be people wanting more, which is a good thing.
11:12 - We have a lot more to give, don't you think?
11:14 I mean, six episodes is definitely not enough.
11:16 - That we've already seen three episodes,
11:18 I'm like, really, there's only three more?
11:20 - I know.
11:21 - Yeah, I just did an interview.
11:22 They were like, it's just not enough.
11:23 It's like a little tiny sip.
11:25 Well, they need the glass.
11:27 Yeah, so I guess I guess-
11:28 - The positive thing.
11:29 The positive thing, Dorinda,
11:31 is who else can give you six episodes in six days?
11:35 - Yeah.
11:36 - Just the Ronis.
11:37 - We could've given 10.
11:37 - The OGs, the OGs.
11:39 (Dorinda laughs)
11:39 - We could've given 10.
11:41 - Kristen, what can you, 'cause you know,
11:43 Ramona antics are common on this show.
11:45 What can you tease about what we can expect from Ramona
11:48 and bedrooms and drama?
11:51 - Well, Sonia said that they share a room
11:55 and it's really interesting how that all happens.
11:58 Thanks to Dorinda, I was so happy that she came through
12:02 with, you know, you'll see, with the game.
12:05 And no, honestly, I think it was a whole new Ramona.
12:10 I mean, I noticed it right away.
12:12 You could tell she's got this relationship brewing
12:14 and she's not talking about it.
12:16 And I have to tell you, I think my relationship
12:19 with Ramona has completely come full circle.
12:21 I mean, and I think you really see it out in this show.
12:24 Definitely, especially 'cause we had all that silly drama
12:26 in the press, the two of us back and forth
12:29 before we started filming.
12:31 And you see that in the show too.
12:32 So it's funny how it comes full circle of all the girls.
12:35 - You never imagine.
12:36 - Exactly, of all people to see Kristen
12:37 and Ramona gelling together and having a future.
12:41 - Crazy. - It's pretty funny.
12:41 - Yeah, yeah.
12:42 So yes, she's changed a lot, yeah.
12:44 - Well, but we still see some sneak peeks.
12:46 - We do, we definitely do.
12:48 - Let's not get too sugary about this.
12:51 We still see some sneak peeks.
12:53 - Yeah.
12:54 - There's always gonna be conflict.
12:57 - The truth out of each one.
12:58 We each have our own thing that we just can't help ourselves
13:01 no matter how much we try, it comes out.
13:04 - Yeah.
13:05 And there's always conflict on a girl's trip.
13:08 A lot of girls on a girl's trip is gonna bring conflict.
13:11 What I like about the New York girls
13:12 is that we do really communicate our feelings well
13:15 and we find the resolution and move on.
13:19 - Absolutely.
13:19 So my last question is I have to wrap up.
13:21 It's gonna go to you, Dorinda.
13:22 Who else besides the six of you would you love
13:24 to bring back in the fold from New York
13:27 for a future girls trip?
13:28 - Listen, I think the more the merrier.
13:30 I think they should bring back anyone they can
13:33 and throw us all in the mix.
13:35 Listen, I know people don't believe it,
13:37 but I think they should have brought back Jill.
13:38 I think Jill would be great.
13:39 - I think Jill would be great.
13:40 - 100%.
13:41 I mean, I was--
13:42 - Well, they tried to, they tried to.
13:44 - It's about the moolah.
13:46 - Maybe even, who knows?
13:47 - Yeah, if it's not about the money,
13:49 it's always about the money.
13:51 - Yeah.
13:52 - So we're all trying to be very flexible
13:55 and we're willing to do short shoots.
13:56 - Don't worry, aren't they the one that they said,
13:57 you don't do it unless,
13:58 it's all about the money for all of us.
14:00 Let's be honest.
14:00 - Yeah, but I'm welcome.
14:03 I'm here, I'm ready.
14:04 I'll take crumbs and short shoots.
14:06 - She's like looking at a contract.
14:07 - I'm ready.
14:08 - But the truth of the matter is, listen,
14:10 I think a lot of the housewives,
14:12 I even say Jules Weinstein.
14:14 I thought she was a great season.
14:16 I was always sad that she didn't get another season
14:18 'cause I thought she had a lot to give us.
14:20 - Yeah, I agree.
14:22 And personally, I was crazy about Aviva.
14:24 - You don't become a housewife unless you have a son.
14:27 - Yeah.
14:28 - Keep it together, Aviva.
14:29 Keep it together.
14:29 - Aviva, yeah.
14:31 - Yeah, Aviva would have been great.
14:32 And Tinsley, I think Tinsley would have been amazing.
14:35 - No, she's off the list now
14:39 'cause she's starting a new marriage.
14:40 She doesn't need to be in a few.
14:42 - Yeah, I know, I know.
14:43 - Honestly, I didn't think that she,
14:45 she had a hard time, I thought, with the show.
