Dock in Miami With The Real Housewives of Miami #RHOM

The drama heats up in Miami, from cursed marriage, DUI charges, to teenage drinking and a seer who has stolen the spotlight even before the show airs. Miami’s most popular drag queen, Elaine Lancaster will also make cameo appearances.

Although the ladies try to play down the drama, it is apparent that the housewives franchise is built on the antics of the everyday lives of these women. And from what we have learned throughout the seasons, Bravos Real Housewives equal drama. Without the drama it is boring and of course the ratings will plummet like that of the Real Housewives of D.C. Will the Miami Housewives bring it like the ladies of Beverly Hills?

In our interview with the three blondes, Lea Black, Marysol Patton and Alexia Echevarria, the women claim the show will be different, and like every city, Miami has its pulse. What is the Miami pulse? The pulse of Miami is its constant party lifestyle, the beaches and you determine the rest. Let’s see if these ladies will be a success and erase the spell of failed shows representing Miami.

And if you are among the Miami elite or insider, the premiere of The Real Housewives of Miami formerly, The Miami Social Club, will be at the Eden Rock Renaissance Hotel on Monday, February 21, which is represented by the Patton Group/Marysol Patton. And of course, Andy Cohen will be there. According to Marysol Patton, “People are very, very interested in the show, it’s really exciting.”

It is almost a year since filming, just around the time when Marisol was busted for DUI. Will that be included in any of the upcoming episodes? Watch what happens.

“The Real Housewives of Miami” on Tuesday, February 22 at 10pm ET/PT.

How did you get to be apart of the Housewives?

Lea Black: Well several different people had recommended me. My friend (Ingrid Casares) had and then a gentlemen at Ocean Drive had. And couple of other people had mentioned it. And I said I didn’t think that – well at the time it was more of a lifestyle trend setting show. And at the time I said I didn’t really think it was something I could do or had the time to do or would really fit what I do because I’m so busy already and I started recommending a lot of my friends. And so they asked if they could interview all my friends here at my house and I set up my house and we interviewed at least a half a dozen of my friends for the show. And then at the end they said well will you at least just do an interview since I had taken over the entire thing anyway talking to my friends asking them the questions trying to make them look good for camera, telling them to smile it was hilarious. So I said sure and I guess it just sort of started from there. It took on a life of it’s own. And I was twisting Alexia’s arm I was like do it, do it. If you do it, I’ll do it. And she was like well if you do it, I’ll do it. At the time I didn’t – at the time I wasn’t sure. And now I think it’s become a phenomenon. I think Bravo has created a pop culture phenomenon so now I’m happy that I did it. In the beginning I was very trepidacious about it, not sure what to expect didn’t start out as a Housewives show kind of evolved into one. And so you know, I guess live life see what happens, take your chances go for it.

Marysol Patton: I’m sure you’ve read that I own a PR firm and we do a lot of luxury events so many of the guests that frequent my events are very social philanthropic beautiful women in the community. So somebody had called my office the casting director and asked if  we could recommend some great women for the show. And one of my employees turned to me and said why don’t you go? And I said, I’m not going – I don’t do that I’m too shy I don’t do anything like that. But then something inside of me I don’t know what, just something inside of me was like oh just go, you’re never going to get picked anyway. I don’t know what drove me to go. And actually the week before half of my face had become paralyzed I had Bells Palsy. So I went on an audition which I’ve never done in my life with half of my face paralyzed pretty much just making fun of myself on a whim. And then I don’t know like Lea says it just kind – they started narrowing it down, and narrowing it down. Even when the day we wrapped I still felt like I was being punked like I didn’t understand how I get picked. But I don’t know, just something inside of me was like oh, just go and I did.

Alexia Echevarria: And in my case my friends were all casting for the show and they all knew about the show. And some other friends had always told me, oh they would watch all the shows and they would say if the Housewives ever come to Miami you have to be one of them, you’re like such they could like see me doing that. But anyhow I found out that it was here, I never wanted to be part of it because I knew my husband wasn’t going to support that or wanted me on the show. So I never went to any castings until the end. And I mean there were a lot of people in town again that would call me you really need to do this, go to the casting. And I sort of gave everybody no, no, no – but then that’s why I truly believe in destiny. It was the last day already they were going back to LA and a friend of mine calls me she is like I need you to accompany me to this casting. And I said – inside of me I said I know it’s for the Housewives. And then she like listen I don’t really want to go with you because if I go they want me to do this because they had heard – I have a son that had casted for another show. So I had gone to pick him up one day and they had seen me. So they had told him to tell me that they were interested in me. So, I told her if I go with you there are going to want me to do the casting. She’s like no, no, you don’t understand they are looking for a professional for a doctor and dah, dah, so they’re not interested. I ended up going with her to the casting and they ending up selecting me not her. So here I am. We’re best friends but she is like you know what, all my friends were right they told me don’t bring Alexia. And so yes, so she was like I should have listened to them. And I’m like okay. After we were selected which I still didn’t know how to break the news to my husband, Marysol and I spoke and then we said okay we’ll both do it. And then of course (Herman) loves Marysol. And if he would have known Lea at that time too because he loves Lea as well he would have say okay that sounds good Lea, Marysol and you I’ll let you do it. Let’s make it a three women.


What will each of you bring that is different?

Alexia Echevarria: Well in my case – Alexia, I’m Cuban American. Like when for example we’re bringing in the Cuban culture as far as like the food like you know, we get together and we cook and we get together and we cook. So like my husband roasted a pig that Lea absolutely loved – right Lea? You’ll see how funny that is. And so you’re going to see the Cuban influence and the food that we eat you know, the black beans, the white rice, the pig and I mean that was in my case particular. But besides that you know, I guess like the music you know, I don’t know did we film anything at night with like Latin music I’m sure. I’m the Cuban Barbie, I’m a Cuban Barbie with a cha-cha in the back – okay.I know in my case it was that because you know, we do the cooking and then I did the – like the Cuban night where we cooked you know, Cuban food.

Lea Black: Well the dancing Adriana said she did some Latin dancing.

Marysol Patton: Alexia they play a little Latin music in the background like a chicka – chicka – chicka. I brought my mom. She loves to say every time the camera is front of her, I’m just a pure Cuban refugee. She has a very heavy accent I don’t know why because she has lived here over 50 years. So her English should be spot on now. She is very intelligent she has a intense vocabulary but a really thick accent. So – and she is very…And you know what I think Latin in Cuba for so many years. I mean even my mother went to an American school in Cuba and still she has a heavy accent. And you know, she was a doctor and you know, she went to medical school and everything in English but – and she writes in English perfectly, all her medical – everything in English. But when they speak it’s a – I think it’s very difficult accent to break.

On having Pet Gays on the show:

Lea Black: Loads of them. We love gays. Well I have (Jason) who has been personal assistant and also runs one of the charity that I do every year. I’ve had him for seven – eight years with me. He’s prominently on the show. Then we’ve had a couple of cameos and guest appearances from my friend (Elaine Lancaster) the biggest Diva yet to be known to mankind.  And several – I mean (Jerry) is on unless he’s was edited out he’s a friend of mine that’s gay. I’ve got some of my – lots of my girlfriends are you know, not heterosexual, so it’s an interesting mix of interesting people that are very you know, liberal socially.

Alexia Echevarria: Yes one of my best friends and he’s on the show as well he is my interior designer and at the same time he’s my best friend. His name is (Javier Soto) and he’s on the show a lot because he’s involved in my daily like personal life.    So you know, he comes to my house and helps me with the flowers you know, we’re friends we go out at night. You know, he helps me with design with anything that happens in my life he’s part of so that’s why you’re going to get to see him.

Marysol Patton: Yes, my best friend is on with me and there is quite a few scenes. He – his name is Frank Amadeo he’s the President of Gloria Estefan Enterprises.    And actually we do some – we do some event – Red Carpets with them that were filmed. And he’s my best friend, I love him.


The Beverly Hills Housewives have up the game in terms of wealth, connections, glitz, glamour and drama. What kind of drama will Miami bring?

Lea Black: I would say that none of the women in this show particularly go out their way to step on anyone.  But if anyone did get stepped on then more likely than not it was someone calling them out on something that perhaps they deserved to be called out in. It certainly was never in a mean way that I thought. Now that’s just from my perspective not seeing what all the other women were shooting. I think that collectively people have their opinions that you know, maybe there is – some mean girls. But I haven’t seen anything so I can’t speak personally about it. I think that’s going to be a fun above the belt drama. That’s what I think. I think that Bravo is a master at creating fabulous reality television. And I think what they’ve done is take the best of everything but it together and make it fun, exciting upbeat and there is quite a bit of drama. But I wouldn’t say that it’s hair pulling, table flipping drama I would say that it’s a different type of drama, but I think people would be fascinated with the characters. Many of them are very witty and everybody has their own corky personalities. And overall I think that Bravo has once again delivered an out of the park reality show that will be entertaining and upbeat ad it’ll be all about Miami, how fabulous Miami is the best of Miami. A lot of the best and the worst of all of us. Each one of us will probably be portrayed at our best and sometimes at our worst. But I think the drama will be – will surprise you. I think it’s going to be a different kind of drama that will evolve as the period goes on with or without giving away what the drama is. I think if people stay tuned past the third episode the drama will start to heat up. At the very end of our show when they announced it was going be a Housewives show I TiVo’d every show. And I’ve watched every show except I think maybe Orange County. And I find myself fascinated and glued to the television and looking forward to them. And I think that Bravo is just got this thing going. It’s like the hottest thing going. They are able to just…wait and something could happen.  One of the things I like is each city has it’s own pulse. And I love – I mean Atlanta is so Atlanta, Jersey is just Jersey, New York is so New York. That’s what I love about it. It’s like a trip around the world. Dock in Miami. I’ll take anyone of those houses that the Beverly Hills women live in. Fun, fabulous and everybody is going to want to be here. We are fortunate enough to live where everybody wants to vacation. So how much better than that can it get?

Alexia Echevarria: I really enjoyed watching the Beverly Hills. And I think that each show of the Housewives we have something to learn from them and we can identify and learn something from each of the ladies in our own way. I have similarities in my case with even Nene in Atlanta because I can relate to her that she has a son that’s a teenager and the problems and the kind of relationship that she might encounter with her son. And let’s say there are things I think as myself that I can relate to each of the ladies and the different shows. The thing is that I think that the ladies identify that the public can sort of like once they get to know you and your character and your personality it’s like they want to know more about you. So I mean this reality TV so it’s real so they can identify with you. So I mean I’m sure that if I feel that way about the other shows and the other ladies the viewers will feel the same thing about us. Some will like us, will not like us, some can say wow I’m like her in this way or I’m not like her –  it’s something like Lea says that it’s like so people are hooked on this. They’re like, it’s like their guilty pleasure or not even the men I mean it’s really, really fascinating like Lea said. It’s just how they put it together. But I think it will really show who you are. I mean again we haven’t seen the show so I may not have that concern now but maybe after I see it I will think different and that was Camille’s case what she that was her defense. But for now I mean it’s been a while, it’s been almost a year since we filmed but it’s going to be interesting to see how it shows.

Marysol Patton: When they first cast all of us and some of us didn’t know each other. I know the ones that did know each other were like well I don’t understand why they picked this person, or that person it was very confusing to us. But now when I see the footage and I see everybody together I was like wow, we’re all so….they really knew what they were doing it’s really…..comes together there is a lot of strategy behind it that we don’t see when we’re all put together.

Alexia Echevarria: …but I think that the mix of Latin, the Brazilian and Assyrian and our lovely Texan are bringing. I think that’s going to be what sets us apart from everybody else.  I think the uniqueness of the cast, the Latin Culture I think and the Latin girls, the way we speak, the way we look, the way we move. Our cast is very diverse but that’s what is going to really stand out the fact that there is four Latin girls on the show.

Lea Black: I’m a Coke and Gringo. Coke and Gringo that would be me – yes. And the beauty of Miami when you’re living up in a freezing part of the country and your looking at you’re seeing about in 70 degree weather with perfect sky and blue water I mean that’s got to be like a retreat for people.

Alexia Echevarria: We go to all the fabulous places and we mingle with different people.

Marysol, your mom is the most talked about thus far, and can you tell us your relationship with her and her abilities as a seer?

Marysol Patton: She’s quite a character. It’s my mommy, mothers are mothers. My first marriage she was like that’s never going to last. I channel my mother’s accent all the time. When I got married the first time I remember her coming down to the room when I was getting all married and where I was getting ready and she brought me these very fancy pearls. And she said, I’ve been saving these your entire life you need to wear these or your marriage will be cursed. And I said, we’re getting married here in the living room, I’m not dressed up, I really don’t think it’s necessary to put on those pearls. And I know you didn’t buy those 30 years ago or 28 years ago, I know you bought those about a month ago. And she was like I curse you, and I curse your marriage, and you will never last with this man. And she walked away and you know, a few years later it was down the tubes. I mean that day I was mad with her. But three years later I was cursing the marriage.  I’m very close with my mother and like most daughters we don’t like to listen to our mothers. So growing up she would always tell me oh, I don’t like this guy, or he’s not the one for you or whatever information she gives me. And of course I was very stubborn and I thought you don’t know what you’re talking about, you don’t know this person. But in the end she was always right. So I don’t really ask for it, she just kind of tells me what she feels when she feels something and now I listen to her because she’s always dead on.

Lea Black: Until she gives you a reading you don’t want to hear and you might not like her – I’m kidding. Just kidding.

Are you prepared for the media scrutiny that comes with the exposure from the Bravo’s Real Housewives Series?

Marysol Patton: I own a PR firm so I’m very well aware what comes along with all of this. And I’ve already probably played through in my mind and strategized with my team what’s probably going to come up, what’s are the most dreadful things anybody could say about me and I’m ready for them. I’m not perfect and you know, if you don’t take things too seriously then you’re not going to get hurt do you know what I mean? Hopefully it will be for those employees and the people that work in my company I think they are excited about it and I think it’ll be great for us for our clients. My mother has no idea what’s coming to her because she doesn’t go on the internet, she doesn’t read weekly. So I really don’t know if she knows what to expect.

Lea Black: You know that’s something I probably need to give more thought to. But you know, my life is sort of an open book and my husband is a public person and I kind of been scrutinized already. And hopefully I didn’t do or say anything that would embarrass myself or my husband or his clients or anything like that. But no, I don’t think I am prepared for it because I didn’t realize until recently kind of how big the brand had gotten and how big the phenomenon was. That’s all sort of new.  I don’t think when we started with this it was as big of a conversation as it is now. So probably I’m not prepared for it, but I sometimes do better not thinking through and just kind of going with the flow and handling it as it comes. That would be what my plan would be. I am prepared to enjoy all the good publicity and ignore all the bad. That would be my philosophy. Don’t laugh, but I didn’t tell anybody that I did the show until I finished it and then I denied up until Bravo said that they had announced it. So I’m getting a lot of people mad at me I already knew that I basically denied doing it. So there – I was trying to keep it at bay I don’t know why I guess I was shy about it. I think my law partners are having a stiff drink about now. My husband’s law partner. I think he’s ready to call 911 for oxygen.

Alexia Echevarria: Yes I feel like Lea. Yes, I’m not really prepared for that. Because I mean I don’t think you’re ever prepared to hear if you’re – in this case if it’s something negative I’m never prepared for that kind of thing. Of course if it is something positive you like it and you’re happy with it. But I mean if it’s geared toward the negative then it’s not something we’re prepared for. And I don’t think there is anything you could do really to be prepared for that. And at the same time I mean since we choose to do this it just comes with the territory. And I remember that being a point with my husband saying okay, well you got to know that from now on you know, it’s like your life is public you know, to everyone. So that does scare me a little bit because I love my privacy and so that’s like the only concern that I have.  And publicity is publicity you got to like you say take the good and you know, stay away from the bad. In my case – Alexia my husband is a lot more supportive now. In the beginning it was almost like divorce time for us. And now he’s like my biggest fan and he’s excited for me so I have the support which is very important to me. My kids are super excited they were one of the reasons why I actually did the show. And at work for you know, here in my business or venue everybody is you know, very excited, very supportive and very much looking forward to all the opportunities.

You ladies also said that it’s a diverse cast. It’s missing a black person, a Chinese person what happened with that?

Lea Black: Well  we did not do the casting. So you have to ask the producers and the people that did the casting about that.

Alexia Echevarria: Exactly. I mean there was an open casting so I mean we had nothing to do with the selection process or the casting.


Did any of you do anything on camera that you’re already worried about?

Lea Black: I’m worried about the fact that I just threw myself together and didn’t do my hair and makeup and just grabbed clothes out of my closet and ran did this stuff and didn’t take the visual part of it seriously, because I came at a time when I just came off a four months of working 24/7 for the Gala and then straight into that. So I just didn’t have time to catch my breath and organize my life. And I’m sure visually I’ll be very upset with myself. I am positive knowing myself there are many times I opened my big mouth when I should have kept it shut. I can think of one time where I wish I would have said something where I stayed quiet. Well I was trying to be elegant and I shouldn’t have been.

Alexia Echevarria: All the women would show up with their hair and their makeup done and dress nice. I may you may not feel comfortable because you change your fashion a year later is a different story. But I think we all cared about our appearance and we all do. And believe it or not I take more time and effort when I go to something that I’m not being filmed. Because when I was being filmed I was so like nervous and uptight and then just busy all the time. Because I had to put in the filming into my everyday life which is all the other stuff I do and work at home and everything else. So to me believe it or not that wasn’t my priority except I have a hair person and a makeup person and you know, and I love clothes and I love fashion so I had a lot of things to wear. But it’s not because I went out of my way to make it that way. That’s just part of like who I am and how I am. But at the same time after I was filmed some times you would say God, I could have worn this, God, I could have said this. You know, that’s what I mean. I mean so I’m sure we’re going to be very critical about ourselves and the way that we look and the way that we dress. And we might like an outfit and not like another. But it’s – I’m glad that you brought that up Lea because I hadn’t even thought about that. I have a friend that lost weight after my birthday. She lost 30 pounds after she filmed with me. So I was happy that I contributed to her weight loss. So yes, because she was like my God, I didn’t know the camera was going to be here and now that they’re here. She’s like so I looked at myself on the camera and I said okay, tomorrow I’m starting a diet. And she’s lost 30 pounds. But besides the physical is there anything? In the beginning I started off shy and now Season will be different. But like I was very quiet so maybe I would think back when I see I’m going to say gosh, I should have said this, I really wanted to say this…but they didn’t give me a chance. So you know, and you know, I wasn’t competing for camera time or for attention.

Marysol Patton: I know I have an employee that’s concerned that she lost 20 pounds since we filmed and she’s very angry that she wasn’t skinnier when we filmed. Yes besides the physical I mean I try and think back about scenes and conversations. I can’t think of a time when I walked away and thought oh God, I can’t believe I said that or did that. Maybe the people around me.

On meeting with Andy Cohen for the reunion show:

Alexia Echevarria: I’m a fan of Andy this is Alexia speaking. I’m a fan of Andy’s so I’m really excited about meeting him. I think he’s great, and I think he you know, he knows how to get what he wants. So yes, that I’m afraid I maybe as a matter of fact on Tuesday I’m going to be on his show, the Watch Happens Live right after our show premieres.    So we’ll see. when we signed up to the do the show this was like a part of it. Being real and seeing who you are and there is nothing to hide now. I think people want to know that that’s actually the best part. Because that’s where you can really dissect the whole thing and see. And then I think it’s also a time that the ladies have a chance to really upon up more with the viewer and say how it really was. Because sometimes like we say its edited or portrayed in a way that you I think sometimes you need to have that opportunity to really clarify something or you know, or say something. So I thinks it’s great for the ladies and of course and he’s great. I mean he’s so entertaining and I think he’s very easy to talk to. I mean I don’t know because I haven’t been there yet, but he seems – all the ladies feel very comfortable with him, they’re just like delighted to.

Lea Black: When I grow up I want to be Andy Cohen how much fun is that job? I mean to sit there, have drinks and talk to all the people that you watch all week. I just find it kind of the icing on the cake of the whole phenomenon. It’s just like interesting to me that they came up with that. And these women go on there and talk and it’s just you know what you’re getting into and you do it anyway. I think it’s cute. I mean you know what you’re getting yourself into but you go on there and you do it anyway. It’s just like the party that everybody wants to be at but they’re afraid about what they’re going to say. But what kind of a great job is that to sit and talk to these characters that they’ve essentially allowed to become public and just ask all your questions of all the things you want to know behind the scenes of who they are at what makes them tick. I mean I’m like to have that show I love watching it. It’s like ask them this, ask them that and wait to see who is going to vote. I think it’s hilarious and I think it’s like a stroke of genius that Bravo has made that the bow on the package at the end of each show. I think it’s great.  That’s why we’re watching it. Well he gets a couple of drinks down them.

Alexia Echevarria: Yes, yes that’s going to be us Lea.

Marysol Patton: That always work.

Lea Black: I know it’s hilarious.

Lea Black: Oh God.

Alexia Echevarria: I bet my husband wishes he could get all clients by doing that.

Marysol Patton: Marysol – hello?

Alexia Echevarria: Yes.

Marysol Patton: Hi, hi, were actually doing a big red carpet premiere on Monday and we’re all going to meet Andy for the first time there. So we’re all really excited about it. And all I know is from watching the show is that whenever he asks questions you might as well just tell the truth because it all comes out in the end anyway – so. So honesty is the best policy and just have fun with it because he’s having fun, it’s all about comedy and entertainment….yes, it’s all about the comedy and the entertainment and you know, hopefully we’ll be delivering all of that.

Alexia Echevarria on her teenage son’s drinking:

Alexia Echevarria: Well you know what I mean I have you know, everybody’s relationship with their son is differently – it’s different. And I lived in Europe, I moved to Spain when I was 17 I came back when I was 22. So those five years you know, in Europe it’s a different thing. And you know, my parents raised me a little different maybe like you say the rest of America where we can drink wine with our parents and maybe champagne. I mean not on a daily basis and neither does my son drink on a daily basis. As a matter of fact he doesn’t even like to drink. But he does like to go to clubs and you know, like my mom said you know, what when you were 18 you were doing the same thing as well. You know, everyone had fake ID’s, everyone is going to the clubs because that’s the age that you do that. I mean I don’t encourage it, or promote it, or – and he knows he cannot drink and drive that’s my main concern. But I mean as far as going to clubs I mean every child at that age that’s what they want to do. You know, they want to go into a club, they want to dance, they want to listen to music, they want to go see a special DJ. So do I enable it, do I facilitate it, maybe I do. Maybe I do because I want to know. You know, I have that kind of communication with my son that I want to know what he’s doing, where is at. There is other children that need to lie to their parents because their parents were not supported or help them you know, or won’t be okay with them. My son doesn’t need to lie and for me that’s more important. I rather know the truth and there is nothing wrong with the truth and I don’t think there is anything wrong with an 18 year old wanting to go to a club. I complain to my mom about it and my mom is like, are you kidding me? I mean you wanted to be at a club since at the age of 15, you know. I mean and of course I didn’t – my parents were very strict especially my father. So I always said the day that I have kids I don’t want to be a strict because I had to be lying the whole time. I mean I had to lie until the age of 30 I think. So you know, I don’t want – I didn’t want that with my son. But then again you never know whether you’re doing the right thing or not. I want to think I’m doing the right thing and that’s why I do it because I feel I’m doing the right thing.

The ladies opinion on Larsa, Cristy and Adriana:

Lea Black: I think that Adriana has a lot to offer the show. And that I think she is kind of controversial and upbeat and glamorous and fabulous and try to makes it fun. I think she’ll probably has opened herself up to a little scrutiny but I think she can handle it. And I think she’s far more of a really great mother than maybe will come across in the show because I know that side of her the best. I think Larsa is a ball of laughs, she can be a lot of fun she’s kind of interesting to watch. And I think that she plays it a little bit safe. And once in a while she’ll get a little dig in and I’ll take in the context in which I know she means it which is good humor and all fun. Cristy I don’t know very well. I’m – I don’t know her that well so I don’t have that much to say. I would say that if she would be a little bit on American time and a little bit more punctual when we did things together I’d probably know her better.

Alexia Echevarria: Okay you pretty much said it all. You summed it up very nicely. But overall I just wanted to add that overall I think we all got along fairly well. And you know, considering that we really didn’t know each other before I think you know, we did a nice job, you know, getting along. And I agree with a lot of things that Lea said. And Adriana is very sweet – identify – I Alexia identify the most and have the most things in common with Larsa and with Adriana. Especially in the motherly part you know, I’m a hands mom as well I have two boys. So I thought you know, I had more in common with Larsa and Adriana.

Lea Black: Does that make my son an orphan?

Alexia Echevarria:    No.

Lea Black:    No, I’m kidding you.

Alexia Echevarria:    Right. No, no.

Lea Black:    I’m kidding.

Marysol Patton:    I don’t have much left to say. You know, I – I’ve known of Cristy for about 20 years because her sister was friends with you know, my little group of friends back in my early 20s. But I only would see here at the gym I really didn’t know her well. And I still am trying to figure her out. I don’t know her that well still. Larsa like Lea said she is very – she’s funny, she’s witty. She’s new to the group I don’t know her that well either still but I do think she’s funny and always has a lot to say. And Adriana I’ve gotten to know quite well because we all spent some time together when we’re not filming now and she has become a friend. And surprisingly so she speaks about six or seven languages and she is extremely intelligent. And she – and I know she comes off as this kind of sexpot but there is a brain up there and she’s quite sharp. So that’s what I have to say.

Spread the love!
