Previously on "The Real Housewives of Dallas" Reunion..
It was a positive COVID test.
- Kary and Brandi... - Hi.
- Hi, Andy. - ...are Zooming in.
I have my pink briefcase with all my evidence.
Elle Wood goes to court.
I'm not like you. I'm not milquetoast.
I'm not a doormat. Not gonna take that.
I'm not a doormat, but you know what I am?
- So that's not who I am. - I'm a good friend.
- You're divorcing? - Yeah.
- Wow. - I wanna hug you, Kary, so bad.
I'm not asking you for speaking lessons.
Did any of us ever sign up for, like,
the Tiffany Moon grammar class? 'Cause I know I didn't.
Kameron had said "Chicken feet? No thanks.
I'd rather eat SparkleDog Treats."
It wasn't a personal thing,
and I sincerely apologize that I offended you for that.
Do you accept her ownership and her apology
for that statement?
- No. - You don't?
- No. - You don't accept her--
We're not finished.
♪
The tweet that you tweeted out with the SparkleDog Treats--
to me was very offensive.
I ate everything at dim sum, every single thing off my plate.
Actually--Actually, Kameron, this is actually
not even about chicken feet anymore.
I know, exactly. I think it's personal.
I think you don't like me, and there's a reason.
- No. - And I really wanna know why.
I think you are so privileged and ignorant
that you would compare something that I eat every week
and consider normal and try to promote your business.
What?! Promote? Lookit, you're selling t-shirts, honey.
You are selling t-shirts for $25...
- Yeah, I sell t-shirts for $22. - ...with chicken feet on it.
You're promoting yourself, my love.
- Look at this. - You sell t-shirts
that have chicken feet on them? - Yes, $25.
- It says "Tastes Like Chicken." - I mean, I can't even like...
It says "Tastes Like Chicken"? Like, the chicken feet?
- Yes. - Okay.
- Yeah. - Do you need this?
- Did you forget that? - No, she remembers.
No, I haven't forgotten any of these.
All of these receipts that you're bringing, Kameron,
you're, like, "This! This!" I remember.
Yeah, I don't need you to show me.
I have that in my head, okay? The whitesplaining, all this.
I don't need you to show me. I remember.
Yeah, okay, I would like to know how are you not judging me here
as a collective group according to my race?
Tell me right now.
Um, I would like to first reference the scene
in which that was, like, suited for?
This is bullsh--, Tiffany. This is bullsh--.
- Are you ready to listen now? - Yeah.
I'm happy to listen, and you need to explain that.
So that tweet was live-tweeted
when it was Kary's 50th birthday party,
and we sat down to dinner, and the food came out,
and I think I said something like, "Oh, my God.
This food is delicious."
This looks so good.
It's a lot better than the chicken feet. I know that.
My people take offense to that.
You just offended everyone in China.
I'm sorry, girl. I can't--No. It has nothing to do with China
that I don't like chicken feet. - It's like our cultural food.
It isn't, no, no, no.
That's stereotyping your whole country right now.
Do you realize that?
And I was like, okay, thanks, whitesplaining.
Thank you for explaining my culture to me!
I wasn't talking about racism, Tiffany.
- I was talking about food. - Yes.
It wasn't about racism! You made it--
Food...is...part...of... my...culture!
Don't explain my culture to me.
I was comparing food.
I'm not talking about your culture, Tiffany.
- I was talking about food. - Like, how do we go from...
She's saying food--She's saying food is part of her culture.
- Ooh, child! Child. - Okay.
She's saying she-- when you talk about food...
- Yeah. - ...that it's important
in her culture, that it's-- - There's eight other countries
that eat chicken foot. I ate my whole plate.
There's 18 other countries that eat chicken foot. So what?
Yeah. Stephanie said she'd rather ck
her husband's asshole than eat a chicken foot.
So why am I the one being attacked right now?
I never said anything about it.
Were you offended by what she said,
that she would rather lick her husband's asshole?
That's far worse, Tiffany.
I mean, his asshole may taste good. I don't know.
Like, what on earth? Why are you after me?
- It may. I don't know. - You're always surprising me.
- [ laughs ] - You're very surprising.
Well, you're gonna let that go,
and you're gonna sit here and attack me.
What do you think of that? I am curious.
Stephanie did not say to me,
"You're offending your own culture.
You're stereotyping..." whatever the sentence was.
That's the part that I'm whitesplaining.
I wanted to look at you as an individual.
- Okay. - Not the butthole, whatever.
I wanted to look at you as an individual.
- Okay. - You know what I mean?
Don't tell me, a woman born in China...
- Got it. - ...about my culture.
- Got it. - That's whitesplaining.
And you seemed so more concerned
with the public's perception
of you possibly being "racist," canceling you...
Who wouldn't right now, Tiffany? Who wouldn't? Give me a break!
...than actually hurting my feelings.
Well, Twitter agreed with me, so Twitter removed your post.
- Right, oh. - So just letting you know.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, boo.
Twitter did not remove my post.
- Right here. Right here. - This is your account.
- She deleted it. - I removed my post.
- She deleted her post. - No, honey, lookit.
"Thank you for report. We reviewed the account,
and your tweet has been removed from Tiffany Moon's post."
- There you go. - I have so many tweets.
Honey, I don't think Twitter lies, babe.
I have never deleted a single tweet except that one.
Twitter doesn't lie. Twitter doesn't lie.
- Twitter doesn't lie. - Twitter doesn't lie, my love.
- All right, well... - Oh, Twitter doesn't...
- No, it doesn't. - I wanna--I wanna--
I wanna talk about the pizza party.
According to your fellow Housewives and the viewers,
your epicurean pizza party... - Yeah.
...was kind of a flop.
No fighting. On your first infraction,
you shall receive a verbal warning.
- You just ate some crickets. - No, I didn't.
- Hey, Brandi? - [ retching and coughing ]
Ew, gross.
Nikki Nik tweeted, "Tiffany's party was like an H.R. meeting."
BravoTea tweeted, "Tiffany has more rules at her pizza party
than the U.S. has COVID-19 restrictions."
Um, Brandi, what was your reaction to the pizza party
and the rules and the cricket?
As far as the cricket, like, I was in my first trimester,
and I did not know, so I think that also has something to do
with me throwing up.
Tiffany, Jake from Topeka, Kansas, said,
"Tricking everyone into eating crickets was pretty extra,
"especially after the whole chicken feet thing.
"Not really the best way to get yourself a girl posse.
Do you still stand by that prank?"
I mean, I get that eating crickets is gross,
but, like, it's not-- it's FDA-approved.
It's not poisonous, you know?
Actually, it's a criminal offense.
Actually, it's a criminal offense,
and it's a misdemeanor in the state of Texas.
What's a criminal offense?
Hiding food in people's food without them knowing.
Right here. "Pen-al" Code, Title 5, Chapter 22.
- Pee-nal code. - "Assaultive Offenses."
- Thank you, Lawyer Barbie.
- Penal code. - I will say that I don't--
I do not mind--I do not mind a joke and a prank.
So I guess it was better that it was me
and none of the other ladies.
Stephanie, Sharon from Plainview, New York, said,
"All of you went after Tiffany for her cricket prank,
"but why am I 100% sure that if Brandi did the cricket prank,
you all would have thought it was hilarious?"
Because it was more of, you do these shows,
and obviously, you wanna create moments, right?
So I think Tiffany, on every party she threw, up until
the, um, Hawaiian party, she was trying to get a reaction.
Like, chicken feet was to get a reaction.
Let's be honest, right? Putting crickets in our food
was to get a reaction. Giving up all those stupid rules
was to get a reaction, and then when we get a reaction,
you're like, "I don't know why they don't wanna be my friend,"
but it's like, it's part of our job to react as well.
So we're kind of damned if we do, damned if we don't.
- Yeah. - And it sucks.
D'Andra, did they overreact about the cricket prank?
I believe so, but I like to eat a lot of different things,
so nothing bothers me.
Oh, my God. You're asking D'Andra?
- D'Andra eats everything. - Yeah, don't ask D'Andra.
- Yeah, nothing bothers me. - She literally will eat worms.
I'm always up for a new culinary adventure.
- Doesn't matter what it is. - Se will eat anything nasty.
Kameron, Hannah from Baltimore said,
"Do you think everyone was harder on Tiffany
"in her first season than they were on you
your first season on the show?"
I had a really hard time my first season,
and I reached out to Tiffany, telling her,
like, I've been there before. I've been the new girl.
And I constantly--I felt like throughout the season,
wanted to check on her, like, send her messages,
"Are you okay? Let me know.
I know what it's like to be the new girl."
Well, you're looking at me funny.
Are you saying I didn't do that?
'Cause I have text messages.
Don't put your suspicion on me.
Honey, I got text messages right here.
You want me to get 'em out? Do you need me to get 'em out?
I don't remember you reaching out to--
Okay, if you want me to get 'em out, I will.
- Okay, so-- - Kameron, can't you just
remember stuff without having to riffle through a piece of paper
every five minutes? It's really annoying, and like--
- It is kind of annoying. - Well, I just--
- Annoying the crap out of me. - I know it's annoying,
but I just don't want people to be a victim,
and you just--you need to tell the truth.
You must have been texting the wrong phone number, honey.
I wanna see them. I wanna see 'em.
Let me get 'em out here.
This is gonna be a long day.
- [ papers rustling ] - Here you go.
"Hey, girlie, was worried about you since you left early.
"I hope you really are okay.
"I know cast trips are insane, and it's a lot to take in.
"Know that I'm always here if you ever want to vent or talk.
"Took me a long time to figure everything out,
so I know how it is being the newbie."
And then you said, "No, I just had some stuff
to get to at home. Thanks for your support, babe."
You know, it seemed like at the end of the season,
you were in a really great place with everyone.
Then the show starts airing,
and then people are tweeting about the show.
I'm assuming that watching the show really made you
unsure about how you felt about everyone.
- Yeah. - Is that fair?
- It's very strange... - Yeah.
...to--to watch something you did months ago.
And I mean, do you feel like social media
really set your relationship with Tiffany back?
I'm telling you, I was so excited
for you to join our cast.
I thought you were gonna be my number one alliance.
Like, I was like, yes.
And then I felt like once the show wrapped,
I felt like your cyberbullying was like a different person,
and I just got hurt feelings. - So where's the daylight here?
Is there a path forward for you two?
I'm an optimist. I feel like there's always a chance forward.
I feel like the bridge has not been burned.
Um...but I also feel like the--
Oh, my God. I can't take it with the papers.
Oh, you're getting out the paperwork?
- [ laughing ] - No, I have one more thing.
- Oh, my God. - You have one more thing?
- We're wrapping this up. - I can't take this seriously.
- Oh, my God. - I'm just--
but this is the thing. I have another--
I have a whole conversation between us,
and we said we're moving forward,
and it's like every time I put--
Okay, well, this is the moving forward after that.
But there's been a hundred moving forwards with her.
And within 24 hours, it's like--
This is the moving forward. This is the moving forward.
Okay, let's hope. Okay.
So she's saying she's an optimist, and she feels like--
Like there's always the chance for a path forward,
but not if you keep mentioning the past.
I'm trying to figure out how are we gonna change this?
- Stop talking about the past. - But you said that before.
So I just wanna see, like, if it's the real deal here.
Like, this is the real deal. 'Cause I will put my hand in.
And I will hug you, and I will say, let's do this, babe.
- Let's have a reset... - Okay.
- ...from now on. - Let's hug. Okay, let's hug.
[ laughs ] I--
Well, I didn't know about the hugging part.
- I mean, let's do it. - [ laughs ]
- Okay. Okay? - Okay.
Okay.
I don't know about COVID restrictions there,
but I appreciate it got done.
We all get negative COVID tested.
- Okay, good. Okay, good. - We just did.
Okay, all right, we're gonna take a break.
- Oh, my God. - Bridge is not burnt.
- I'm so tired. - We'll be right back.

We are back on the veranda
with the Lone Star ladies of Dallas.
I'm Andy Cohen.
The Dallas Housewives certainly have a way with words.
Which way those words are going? Well, that's another story.
So let's just Astroglide into this,
and you can see their best blunders for themselves.
Tiffany's having all of us meet her for "dimsam."
- How do you say it? - "Dimsam"?
Isn't it "dimsam"?
It's maybe more "suh" on the end. I don't know.
"Dimsam"?
You're saying "sum" kinda weird.
"Dimsam"?
I didn't have my typhoon shot updated.
- Typhoon? - Typhoon? What is it called?
- Typhoid. [ laughs ] - Typhoid!
Typhoon shot. [ laughs ]
Oh, my God!
After my little "shenan-digas" I did last night...
"Shenan-digas"? How do you say those? Shenan--what?
- [ laughing ] - "Shenan-digas"?
Shenanigans.
- Aw! - Too-doo!
They're all clean today.
Too-doo? What does "too-doo" mean?
- It means "Ta-da!" - "Ta-da."
[ laughs ]
♪ Too-doo ♪
It raised a flag to me with the Astrogliding thing.
What is Astrogliding?
Leaving your body and-- and your soul.
That's astral projection. That's not Astrogliding.
- Well... - Astroglide is what you use
when you have sex. - I use that during sex as well.
The Leaning Tower of Pisa.

- Canada, maybe. - [ buzzer ]
- The Great Wall of China. - [ bell dings ]
- Bigfoot's number 7, right? - [ buzzer ]
Yeah. Did I do 7?
Well, use the 9 commandments. I think we...
9? Now I wanna know which one you got rid of.
Kary, what are the 9 commandments?
The do not lie, don't sleep with a neighbor.
[ laughter ]
Uh, do not, uh, masturbate.
- Aah! - That is not--
That is not...
Then we're all going to hell, I guarantee you.
[ laughter ]
Oh, my God. So why do you think Canada
is one of the 7 wonders of the world?
- I like it there. - [ laughter ]
You like it there?
- Yeah. - That was hard.
- You got two and a half. - Yeah.
Bigfoot, of course, is not one of the 7 wonders
of the world or the new world.
Um, Kameron, have you gotten your typhoon shot this year?
Actually, now--
Did you get a hurricane shot instead?
You know, I actually due for my typhoid shot still. I am.
Kary, I may not be able to name all the commandments,
but I do know there's 10 and not 9.
Sleeping with your neighbor? Is that one of them?
[ laughter ]
No, no, not sleeping.
Like, not sleeping with that neighbor, right?
- Right. - Oh, my gosh.
[ laughter ]
Kameron, a traditional Chinese meal
made up of all kinds of dumplings is called what?
Um..."dimsam."
Did I say it right?
- No? - Close. Close.
Okay. How do you say it? Please tell me.
Dim... sum.
Like, do I pronounce it like s-o-m-e?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Like "Dim some"?
- Okay. Perfect. I know now. - Or s-u-m.
- Okay. - Sum.
- Sum. I know now. - Yeah.
D'Andra and Stephanie, the official Astroglide
Twitter feed gave you both a shout out
after that episode aired. Did you know that?
- Really? That's so exciting! - Oh, my God. Love it.
Free Astroglide for life for you both.
D'Andra private messaged them, "Where is my free Astroglide?"
- Yes. - D'Andra, it seems like
you were the only one
that thought Captain Brandi was funny.
Everyone else kinda thought it was creepy and annoying.
- How do you feel about that? - D'Andra, what is that?
This is a cruise director co-host.
Captain Brandi.
I kind of have a weird sense of humor.
[ laughter ]
Well, D'Andra's season of self-discovery with a shaman
had her circling the universe on wings of pure light.
But when estranged stepfamily reached out to her,
she was forced to confront a dark truth about her past
and her own last name. Watch this.
I decided to take a couple of spiritual journeys.
I started to see a shaman.
I have no idea what a shaman is.
Like, I think of a magical wizard.
[ laughs ]
[ New Age music playing ]
I'm Christian. I've been raised a Christian my whole life.
Going to see a shaman is not something that is allowed
in the Christian religion.

I wanna talk about Darrin, your shaman.
- Was he your hairdresser first? - [ laughter ]
I knew Darrin for 25 years.
He did my hair and makeup for different photo shoots
that I did when I was a model years ago.
Did Darrin do anybody else's hair here?
Uh-huh, for, like, three years.
Wow.
He's actually very, very talented at extensions.
Were you disappointed he changed careers?
No, I think he still does hair.
- He still does hair. - Oh, he still does hair.
Yeah, I think hair's like his main job,
and then shaman is like part-time.
You don't make a lot of money being a shaman.
- Right. - [ laughter ]

talk to you but think a shaman goes against Christianity?"
♪
Brandi, Courtney from Vancouver, Canada,
said, "You're so hypocritical. How can you believe that ghosts
talk to you but think a shaman goes against Christianity?"
It was a little bit uncomfortable.
I mean, we were saying all of these things
that I have no idea what they mean.
He didn't tell us what they meant.
We were just, you know, chanting these weird things,
and for all I knew, we were, you know, doing witchcraft.
- I had no idea. - I, in my mind,
am okay with it because I know that
what I was doing was meditation.
I will do anything if it will help me, heal me,
make me a better person, make me feel better.
Brandi, Nicole from Dallas said, "You think seeing a shaman
"goes against your Christian beliefs,
"but is waving a giant dildo at Kameron
something Jesus would approve of?"
No, Brandi. No, no, no. I don't participate in this.
[ laughs ]
This is like a level that I will do.
[ laughter ]
I think Jesus would think it's real funny. [ laughs ]
[ laughs ]
Kameron, what do you think?
Um, well, I really choose
to accept all religions and all beliefs.
Brandi, I think you should be a buffet Christian
over a cafeteria Christian because that way...
- Thanks, girl. Thanks, girl. - ...you could have a little bit
of everything on your plate, and I love buffets.
Well, the cafeteria is kind of a buffet.
Okay, I wanna switch gears
because the whole drama with your stepfamily
over your dad's inheritance is really Shakespearean.
- Mm-hmm. - Your father died by suicide.
- Yes. - Your mom remarried.
My mother remarried when I was 6 years old.
Oh, okay. Did you really grow up with Glenn Simmons
as your father figure?
Glenn basically took me in and raised me
because he was the one parent
that was the most parental of all of them.
[ voice breaking ] He would roll my hair at night.
He would make sure when I was sick
that I would go to the doctor. He would take me to--
you know, I was very ill as a child.
I was always in the hospital 'cause I couldn't breathe,
and I had severe asthma,
so Glenn would stay up all night with me and hug me
and rock me and make sure that I was okay
or go to the doctor with me or the hospital,
and then he would go and--and have a board meeting.
Wow.
I mean, he was always there for me.
And how old were you when you changed your name?
It was like 18 or 20. So the day I turned that age
is when I went, and he had to go with me,
and he said, "Are you sure you wanna do this?"
I said, "Yes, I do." My mother had been kind of
really trying to push me for years to do it,
and I felt like I didn't wanna hurt my dad.
But at the time, it was just because of the fact
that, you know, I thought I was doing the right thing.
I didn't think it was-- it wasn't opportunistic.
Your mom is saying now that it was opportunistic.
Why, then, was she pushing you to do it then?
That's where the mystery lies,
is because I've had several conversations.
"Why would you say that? Why would you embarrass me?"
I don't even know anything about that story.
The story I know is the story I'm telling you.
And she is steadfast that that's her story.
- Does she have a point-- - But I'm telling you,
I was too young to have the ability to discern
whether Simmons would take me farther
or Callaway would take me farther.
Well, I mean, 18 to 20 isn't too young to figure out
that your stepdad is a billionaire
and with an influential last name--
Well, he wasn't a billionaire, first of all.
But honestly, I'm telling you, Andy,
I did not think of it that way.
I mean, you are Dee Simmons' daughter.
Yes, I am, but that doesn't make me exactly like her
in every single way. - Okay.
I think there's always been a rumor
that people have always thought D'Andra took on the name,
you know, to benefit her,
but I think all her true friends know that's 100% not true.
If you saw her stand up at Glenn's funeral
and watched her make that tribute,
like, everyone was in tears.
I mean, it was the most beautiful thing I've ever heard.
Your father-- he had a lot of money, too.
Probably more than my stepfather.
And that's the inheritance. So my father's part was,
"I'm not going to pay child support,
so my daughter would get the rest of the inheritance."
- All of it. - Are we talking
about $10 million, $5 million?
Over a lifetime, a lot more than that.
20? 30?
- 40? - A lot more than that.
- Okay. - Yeah.
So it was oil and gas,
and my grandfather had built wells
and all that kind of thing.
So what happened was my stepmother
and on behalf of my brother, wanted all of it for them,
and I said, "Well, this isn't fair,
'cause my blood grandparents had built this part,
and they wanted me to have something.
They came from dirt-poor nothing.
- Yeah. - And at the end of the day,
I split it down the middle with my brother,
gave him half of everything. - Wow.
Now after that, he wanted to sell part of his inheritance.
I bought it, because why is it gonna go
to some other family member?
So he owns a quarter now, and I have three-quarters of it.
Wow. How is your relationship with Mama Dee today?
Great. The biggest regret I have this year...
[ voice breaking ] is what I said on camera to her.
That was horrible. I should never say that to my mother.
- At Tiffany's party. - Mm-hmm.
Go [bleep] yourself.
Take your ----ing mask with you, you ----ing bitch.
- I should never have done that. - Aw.
Never, ever have done that.
D'Andra, we all say things we don't mean,
and she knows how much you love her.
We've had that volatile relationship, and, um,
every year it seems to me we move a little bit further.
We have some progress, and then we have to step back,
and that was really...
- You're only human. - ...embarrassing.
- And you reacted. - It was humiliating
and horrible for her, and I just--
I-I should never have done that to my mother, ever.
- I know. - And I'm so sorry.
It's so unfair that I did it on national television.
- She knows. - But I-I made a big mistake,
but I hope people can forgive me for that.
- Has she forgiven you? - Mm-hmm.
Well, that's the most important thing.
My husband was horrified.
He would never talk to his mother like that, ever.
I'm glad you two are good, though.

We started filming,
and I was probably maybe two weeks pregnant,
and, um, by the time I found out I was pregnant,
I was out of my first trimester, so yeah.
And how did you find out?
First of all, years ago, I was told that
I was premenopausal,
and the chances are, like, .0 something.
So it's kind of a little bit of a miracle,
but how I found out is really funny.
I was due for my annual,
so right after filming, I went in,
and you pee in a cup, and she came in and she told me
that, um, she was like, "Well, you came back po--
um, that you're pregnant.
So then she does a scan on my stomach,
and I see a baby on the screen,
and I completely have a panic attack,
and my doctor is, like, "Brandi, this is amazing.
This is a miracle."
She was like, "But I have to ask,
is this not Bryan's?" And I was like, "What? No.
This is Bryan's," um, and she was like,
"Okay, I was just making sure 'cause you seem upset about it,
and I'm like, "Well, I just haven't been
taking care of myself. I've been drinking."
And I should point out Brilynn is in perfectly great health.
- She is. - Yeah.
She's beautiful. She's perfect.
And we did a ton of testing as well.
So you have that happen, and then your mother-in-law
was killed in a tragic car accident,
and your daughter Brinkley was in the car.
- Yes. Um-- - What happened there?
They went out to see, um, my sister-in-law's kids,
and they were leaving her neighborhood,
and they were hit by 18-wheeler
and they were drug, and the car flipped,
and then the truck-- the 18-wheeler
fell on top of them and-- and completely smushed the car.
And she died, um, from what we know, on impact.
[ voice breaking ] And Brinkley by the grace of God, made it,
and--and it's crazy, 'cause she, um,
she's perfect, and she had some broken--
some broken bones and a little bit of scratches,
but, um, and they don't even know how she survived.
Um...but she did.
Wow.
Oh, my God. I'm so sorry.
- So sorry for your loss. - Oh, thank you.
As if that wasn't enough, a video was making its rounds
on social media and in the press about your husband Bryan.
Um, shows him at a club with another woman.
How have you been since that video came out?
Um... [ sighs ]
You know, I'm--I'm disappointed that I--
I'm aware of when that happened
Um, it was in Las Vegas during, um,
a dual bachelor- bachelorette party
for my sister and brother-in-law.
How long ago was the video from?
It was 2018.
But, yeah, extremely disappointed, and, um...
[ voice breaking ] And I...
[ sniffles ]
Sorry.
What's your thinking about staying with him?
I'll tell you that, you know, this was cr--
the craziest year and my darkest hour.
That man was there for me and is there for me,
so I feel like I would be really a piece of sh--
if I didn't, you know, be there for him.
'Cause he's hurting, too, right now.
How have you two been dealing with this together?
You and Bryan.
I wanna protect my children,
and... [ sniffles ] I...
I hate that a fan sent that video to my--
my daughter's Instagram that is private,
and she saw it.
[ sniffles ]
Because as much as, like, I can be angry
and stuff, like, that's-- that's her dad,
and I just feel like it's just--
it's just not okay.
Hmm.
Oh, God. I'm so sorry.
Brandi, you know we're here for you.
I love you.
I'm here for you, too.
[ sniffles ]
Stephanie, when that video came out,
and I know you and Travis... - Yeah.
...are obviously great friends with them
and also great friends with Bryan.
Did it make you mad at Bryan?
Yeah, I have not talked to Bryan about it,
but I am angry at him.
This girl is literally like family to me,
and I love her so much,
and--and she's been through so much,
I was honestly terrified
that she was gonna do something to herself.
So I had, um, a good friend of mine
and then a therapist that Brandi and I both have used.
And, um, my good friend walks in first.
'Cause I'm like, "You have to go see her
because I can't get ahold of her,"
because every one of us pretty much was traveling,
and it was spring break, and then he said
he walked in the baby's room. It was pitch black,
and she's sitting in the corner, like, just holding her baby
and bawling, and it just broke my heart.
Like, absolutely broke my heart.
Mm-hmm.
I think this video has been put out there.
I think someone did it intentionally
to try to hurt me once again, and, um,
and they were successful.
Who would do that?
I think we all know.
I don't know that I...
Um...
Do you know?
♪
Coming up next...
I think you might be getting a nose bleed.
- [ sniffles ] - You do, honey.
- You have a nosebleed. - Oh! Oh!
Well, that's not cute at all.
This video has been put out there.
Who would do that?
I think we all know.
- Do you know? - Mm-hmm.
Who?
Um, I'm assuming she's referring to LeeAnne.
- Yeah. - I mean, it's the same M--
Modus Operandi, I mean, over and over again.
She keeps things for years and then releases them
when it's appropriate, she thinks,
to backlash at the person or harass someone
or to make somebody feel horrible about themselves
and shameful, and it's just-- it's awful behavior.
- Yeah, it's horrible. - It's horrible.
And then she does it, like, a-- like, I felt like
it was definitely very intentional.
It was done on a Tuesday, the day our show comes out,
a few hours before. - Mm-hmm.
So it's a day where there's a lot of eyes on the show,
and then it comes out, and... just like...
it's just sad. - That's your friend.
Do you think she did it?
I honestly--I-I don't think she would ever put it out,
but maybe someone she knows would do it.
So she's no longer on the show,
but she's still very much a part of...
- She was very angry. - Oh, yeah, very angry,
because Brandi is allowed to be on the show,
and she's not on the show any longer.
Uh... I wanna move on to another video.
About three and a half years ago,
I made a video and posted it on my Instagram Story.
The video was of me making fun of my squinty eyes.
Brandi, Jay from Dallas said, "At the season 4 reunion,
"you pulled a chair out in the middle of the room
"and demanded LeeAnne be held accountable
for her hateful remarks."
Where are you going?
I think LeeAnne needs to sit her ass right here.
Go for it, sister.
Now that you're in the same situation,
can a chair be pulled out for you?
If I was there, I was planning on pulling out my own chair.
So yes.
Tiffany, Giana from Roswell, New Mexico, said,
"It seemed like you left Brandi off the hook
"for the video pretty fast.
"Do you think you would've been so forgiving
if it wasn't for being on the show with her?"
I never thought that Brandi put that out there to hurt anyone.
It was a mistake, and she has recognized that mistake
and apologized over and over again.
It's like what else can she do?
So you do not think Brandi is a racist.
I have never thought that Brandi was a racist.
I don't know what else to say to you, Brandi.
Like, I never thought you were a racist.
No, I don't think that you would think that I am.
I mean, I...
- [ baby crying in distance ] - I, um...
I mean, that whole thing, like-
Hearing Brilynn crying in the background.
She's hungry. [ chuckles ]
Brandi, Katie from Brooklyn said,
"I'm sorry that you were suicidal over being canceled,
"but you spent the entire season playing the victim
"and trying to make everyone feel sorry for you
"instead of making Tiffany feel welcome and accepted.
Do you still think that was the best way to handle this?"
I mean, to be honest, like,
I thought I was amazing to Tiffany.
As a matter of fact, I was the one who took her
to the hospital when she got sick at her birthday.
I feel like I went over and beyond
to be friends with her.
Do you agree?
No. I mean, I don't think
Brandi deserves everything that's come her way,
but I also don't think that she was very welcoming.
I didn't understand what you meant when you said
you couldn't be yourself around her.
I feel like sometimes I'm very guarded
when it comes to our relationship
because of the video.
I wish you wouldn't think so ill of me.
I wanna be myself in front of you.
- I don't wanna not be me. - So do I.
And it seemed like a lot that you were dumping on her lap.
What I felt, you know, with all of the sayings that she would d
and the impersonations, and, like, she would say,
"I love you long time" or "take a photo."
What made you jump in the pool?
- I love you long time. - The pool is like a hot tub.
But not tonight.
Those were the things that you felt uncomfortable
because you didn't know whether to laugh or--or--
I didn't know whether to laugh--
And that was my point, is being comfortable.
'Cause normally, you know, Brandi a long time ago
would have been, like, joined in on, you know,
the impersonation and doing all that,
and then that's why I felt like I just couldn't be myself.
I mean, I don't know what part of you felt like
you weren't being yourself
'cause you brought a blow-up doll
with the large phallic object.
You made silly noises.
We talked about fart and poop and butt sex and...
- She seemed like-- - Like, what part of you
were not being yourself, and if I said something
that made you uncomfortable,
why did you not pull me aside and be like, "Hey, girl,
"when you say this, I don't know how to respond.
Like, how would you like for me to deal with that?"
instead of basically accosting me
in the middle of a dinner
in front of everybody and blindsiding me.
I could have addressed it, obviously, a lot better.
Um, I handled it poorly. I did not explain myself well.
Um, and, you know, and I'm human,
and I made a mistake.
The biggest regret I have--
one of the biggest regrets beside my mother,
is not saying something at that dinner,
because I should have said something when Brandi said,
"I feel uncomfortable," and I just sat there
like a lump, and I really feel horrible about it.
I told her that, because nobody had your back.
I should have said something, but it's my biggest--
one of my biggest regrets.
- Kary, you were a victim... - Yeah.
...of LeeAnne's comments last season.
Do you regret not sticking up for Tiffany more?
Yeah, 1,000%. Tiffany, I'm sorry.
I definitely know that it was all on Brandi.
It didn't have anything to do with you
and that you should have never felt uncomfortable.
I think we all probably missed a huge opportunity to learn
to sit down with Tiffany and explain to us
her experience, what we can learn from that,
what knowledge we can glean from that.
We didn't do that. We let her down,
and we let, I think, everyone down by not doing that.
I think we should have asked a lot of these questions
instead of expecting her to tell us.
That was what we did wrong.
Brandi, do you have any final thoughts on this topic?
I think that this whole thing was very teachable,
and if we all give each other a little bit more grace
and, um, empathy,
and learn from each other, we can all grow.
♪
Okay, we're gonna come right back
with some final thoughts after this.
♪
of season 5 of "The Real Housewives of Dallas."
Ladies, to wrap things up tonight,
I'd love each of you to tell me one thing you wish
you had never said or done this season
and one thing that you wish
you had said or done this season.
Who would like to go first?
- I'll go first. - Okay, great.
I mean, I don't think I can pic one thing I wish I had done.
- [ laughs ] - It's a long list?
I mean, it's a long list, Andy. No, I mean, honestly,
the one thing I wish I had done is to have taken a closer look
at my issues and communicated more when I'm hurting
and what is going on, 'cause I never want to be the person
I was this season, and I hope everybody sees my heart
and--and forgives me. - Brandi?
I probably wish that I-I did no go into J.R.'s bedroom.
That's not like me to disrespect
someone else's property, much less a historic site.
[ chuckles ]
Um, and then the one thing that I wish I would have done
is taken a pregnancy test.
[ laughter ]
That's so true. You're so right.
- Oh, my God. - You're so right.
- D'Andra? - I definitely wish that I had
not spoken to my mother the way I did when I got mad at her.
That was a big, big misstep for me.
And I wish, because I brought Tiffany on,
and she's my friend, that I would've instigated
conversations that we didn't have.
I feel like that was a huge misstep for me,
and it's my onus and my responsibility,
and I'm sorry, 'cause I think it would've been better
if we all would have had those conversations,
and I could have instigated those.
And I didn't do it, and that was a big misstep for me, too.
Steph?
Well, I really think I hurt Tiffany's feelings
with the closet thing, so I wish I would have never said that
because I know that hurt you.
I would never bring people into my closet
and brag about all my stuff and try to show off.
- Look, look, look. - Plum, yeah.
- Yeah, I wanna see. - It's French.
I just think it's obnoxious.
One thing I wish I did do
is I see you over here feeling very alone,
and I'm sorry if you went through the season
not feeling supported.
Reaction to that?
[ voice breaking ] Thank you. Um...
Why are you so emotional?
Did Stephanie just make you emotional?
Yeah. Um...and I-I did feel alone a lot of...the season.
One thing that I wish I didn't do... [ scoffs ]
um, was put crickets in all y'all's food
and make Brandi sick and try so hard
and be so pushy with Kameron with the chicken feet.
Like, when I watched it, I was like, oh, so cringey.
I was, like, trying to be funny.
What do you wish you had done?
You know, I really feel like when I started getting close
to a lot of the girls was when Kary threw me
that amazing party,
and I sort of started to let my walls down.
I feel like after that, I don't know.
Like, we--we gelled better.
I wish I could've had that moment
when we all, you know, group-hugged
before the snakes came out, like, earlier,
because then it wouldn't have been so awful
the first half of the season.
Ooh, I think--I think you might be getting a nosebleed.
Oh, you do, honey. You have a nosebleed.
- Oh! Oh! Um... - Which is another first.
- Tiffany, here. - D'Andra has one.
Oh, my God. Well, that's not cute at all.
- [ laughs ] - Oh, my God.
Wipe your lip right there.
I don't think you can look ugly Tiffany.
Oh, my God. We need-- Oh, my God.
Definitely making a moment now.
There you go. Okay, you're good.
There I go, trying too hard again.
- There you go. - Oh, my God.
No, you're good.
- It's still bleeding? - No, you're good.
- Oh. - You're all good.
You're all good. You look fresh as a daisy.
Oh, I'm sure I look great right now.
Yeah, you do. And you, Kam?
Um...well, I wish I never offended you, Tiffany.
[ voice breaking ] Never in a million years
would I ever try to offend you.
Bottom of my heart, I'm not like that,
and I really want you to know, like, I never, ever
wanted to offend you, and I'm so sorry. I really am.
- I really am. - [ whispers ] Thank you.
And something that you wish you had done?
I wish I would've asked you more questions
so I could understand, and I didn't.
I feel like an idiot. I didn't.
Okay. Well, we do have a final toast. Pickle shots.
- Oh, yay! - Which is what you drank
at the bar in Austin. - It's so good.
They delivered them all the way to our room.
- Are you serious? - Wow!
They got the pickle shots, too.
I am so sad I'm not there with everyone.
I'm so sad.
Tiffany, can you remind us how to say "cheers" in Chinese?
- Oh, gosh. [ laughs ] - Because I would like to learn.
Ganbei.
- Ganbei. - Ganbei!
- Ganbei. - Ganbei.
- Cheers. - Ganbei.
- Cheers, Kary. Cheers, Brandi. - Thank you, ladies.
♪
Oh, that's real. It's good. [ laughs ]
- Oh, my Lord. - That is disgusting.
Just tastes like a bunch of pickles.
- Ooh. - I don't see any alcohol
in that one in any form. - Yeah, right? Exactly.
You're gonna get an IV drip tonight of alcohol.
