The Hot Seat
The OG Housewife reflects on herRHOMcareer and her ongoing feud with Adriana de Moura.
It seemed like the party planner-turned-Housewife had so much left to give.
Then, Peacock unexpectedly revived the series in 2021, eight years after itd gone off air.
At first, I was like, Who the hell are all these new people?
I like all the oldies, Patton tells Bustle.
And then I watched the show back and I was like, You know what?
They know what they’re doing.
The current season sees her friendship with Adriana de Moura, a fellowRHOMOG, deteriorate into mayhem.
That’s Adriana, Patton says, rolling her eyes.
She always wants to fight with me and Alexia.
She loves to have chaos with us.
Recently, de Moura has taken aim atPattons best friend Alexia Echevarria, speculating about her marriage.
(Its hearsay and poppycock, Patton says.)
That was the most absurd thing I’ve ever seen in my life.
She’s just really grasping at straws to take me down.
I’m still here and not going anywhere, Patton says of the letter.
So, who knows what she’s going to come with next?
She already tried tokill me with her flatulence, a slow and lethal, tortuous death.
What do you remember about your audition tape?
My mom wanted to take me to the hospital.
I’m like, We’re going to enjoy our trip to New York.
Most of my friends husbands said, No, you’re not doing that.
It was a hot mess.
But I sat there, and I was very self-deprecating.
For some reason, they liked that, and I got the job.
Do you ever feel like you’ve ever gotten an unfair edit?
In Season 2, I was arguing with [Lisa Pliner] and trying to prove my point.
Then, she admitted I was right, and [the show] cut that out.
Do you have an embarrassing hot-mic moment?
Or well speak in Spanish, but now they got translators.
Theres no getting away with that anymore.
Who do you think has the worst confessional looks?
Adrianas had some pretty wacky looks.
I cant stand the gloves everybody wears.
And listen, I’m not one to talk.
I showed up looking like a bird in one of mine, with claw fingers and feathers.
That one was bad.
What’s your favorite Bravo one-liner?
I like when Luann [de Lesseps] says,Be cool.
Don’t be all, like, uncool.That’s basically how I feel about everything.
What do you think is the best Housewife-run alcohol brand?
What would you say to a full-time Housewife promotion?
I want that paycheck.
I get just as much airtime, but you see the difference in the paycheck.
The real question is, Marysol, if they gave you more money, would you say yes?
I don’t think anybody would say no.
