00:00Congrats, Season 2. How are we feeling ahead of the premiere?
00:04I mean, I'm not sure. I'm excited about tonight.
00:07I think it's going to be a roller coaster, so I'm trying to prepare myself mentally again.
00:13Yeah.
00:13How are you feeling? It's your first season coming in hot. How's it going?
00:18Yeah, first time for a lot of these things.
00:21And I'm really excited, and I've got a good coach, you know, to help me keep a thick skin.
00:27And, you know, just keep focused on the positive and what the future holds for us, yeah.
00:36Well, I watched the first episode, but the trailer in itself for this season is so intense.
00:43I mean, I didn't love all the allegations and Jesse calling you a hooker.
00:48What was your reaction in response to that?
00:52I cried a lot, and it was very difficult because who wants to hear that?
00:58It was a very difficult time for me. I was also going through a lot of personal things, so you'll see how I react.
01:06It's so hard.
01:07And then how do you come into play, you know, supporting Michelle, and how do you feel when you hear those topics get brought up?
01:14And, you know, those are some serious allegations, too. It's not great. What do you think?
01:18Yeah, I can't say that there's no feelings that come up whatsoever, but communication is key, and we talk a lot.
01:25And, yeah, we know each other quite well.
01:28A million-dollar question. Everyone's asking you, how is co-parenting going?
01:32It's awful, but I love my daughter.
01:37No, I know. It's not. I know. All I can do is smile because I always wish that one day we will get to that place.
01:45I don't know if it will ever happen. That is my hope because I do love my daughter, and I want her to see two happy parents.
01:52And so all I can do is play my role in being positive.
01:57That's so hard, honestly.
01:58We see Lala kind of lash out at Jessie in the trailer for this season, too.
02:03How does it feel to have the Vanderpump girls on board and showing you some support during this, like, hard divorce?
02:09Honestly, I'm so impressed, and I was so grateful to have Sheena and Lala, like, have my back, really support me, and I loved it.
02:19I love that.
02:20With this season being so intense, is there anything, any misconception about you that maybe you want to clarify?
02:26Anything that viewers are going to see that maybe is not a true representation of you?
02:30I mean, I say this on my podcast that I am naturally a shy person, and I don't have this huge personality like some of my other friends on the show,
02:40and so that people can perceive me a certain way, but, yeah.
02:46Yeah, I think that her new podcast, actually, The Pursuit of Sassiness, is a great platform for her to actually express her true self.
02:58And there's going to be some really amazing guests coming on in the future, and there has been already.
03:05And, yeah, I mean, I would say there's a lot of misconceptions about Michelle, but sometimes, yeah, people that are sort of at peace can get a lot of negative feedback from people that aren't at peace.
03:19Do you feel like you're ever judged more harshly than Jesse, especially for season two?
03:26I think so, just because, like, I was internal, and I didn't want to say a lot of things, and he just blabs and opens his mouth.
03:33And he can have charisma if he wants to, and people can like that part of him, and he can be entertaining.
03:42So, yeah, I can see why some people might like him if they don't really know the both of us.
03:48Yeah.
03:48Is there a piece of him that we're missing?
03:52Mm-hmm.
03:53Absolutely.
03:53Yeah, I think you'll, you'll, I really believe that this season you'll see people's true colors come out, and you'll see, like, who's happy internally and who's not.
04:04Who is supporting, who's your biggest support system this season?
04:08I'm really close now with Janet and Sheena.
04:11They have been there for me every step of the way.
04:16Wow.
04:16Yeah.
04:17Oh, I can't wait to see.
04:18And then after you coming on board your first season in the books, do you have any regrets, any hesitations for maybe another season?
04:27No regrets.
04:28Maybe trying so hard to create a positive relationship between us and Jesse probably wasn't worth the effort.
04:40But, you know, I'm excited for the next season, yeah.
