R: Will you be on next year? AD: You never know until next year and every year Bravo adds somebody new so that will probably happen again. It’s an experience to be part of a cultural phenomenon, it’s really fun. My friends told me not to do it, but I was clear with Bravo to protect my family, and I’m feeling like my family is being portrayed properly and now my friends are rooting for me.

R: Is your relationship with the other ladies forced? AD: Because we were doing the show together, I felt a connection with the two new women, Carole Radziwill and Heather Thompson.
