Hermes, Prada and plenty of drama. Mixed with bottle service, selfies, and growing #instafame, that's what you can expect when E!'s hit reality series returns for season two tonight.
Welcome back to the 90210, which has acquired a new resident as EJ Johnson relocates to Los Angeles and joins his friends in the fabuluxe zip code over flowing with sunshine, designer fashions, and plenty of plastic by way of surgery and credit cards.
The new season kicks off with a trip to China for the opening of an elite department store that just so happens to be owned by Dorothy's retail mogul father. Joining Dorothy on the trip are Morgan, Brendan, Jonny, and Roxy who is growing tired of Dorothy's reoccurring jabs about her career, style and being financially cut-off by her parents.
However, Roxy isn't the only one carrying drama in her couture luggage as Dorothy's boyfriend Cooper is inexplicably absent from the crew's overseas adventures. Even with the galas, VIP treatments, amazing sightseeing and being surrounded by her #BFFs, Dorothy is still distracted by what appears to be a major bump in her relationship and an opportunity to show Cooper the Wang empire. Sounds like love is a battlefield, even when that battlefield is a multimillion dollar property in Beverly Hills and you're worth billions of dollars.
On the season 2 premiere of #RichKids of Beverly Hills the #RichKids are taking over China!
Dorothy Wang invites her friends Morgan Stewart, Brendan Fitzpatrick, Roxy Sowlaty and Jonny Drubel to go to China with her for the opening ceremonies of her father's new retail center, the largest in the world!
Once in China, Jonny realizes that he forgot to bring pimple cream. Uh-oh!
But Dorothy reassures him that she will save the day! Since their hotel is above the mall her dad owns, she explains, "It's closed, but I could probably get it to open."
While eagerly awaiting the season two premiere of #RichKids of Beverly Hills, we caught up with Roxy Sowlaty—the interior designer in the group, to get the scoop on the group's trip to China, her dating life and much more!
According to Roxy, the vacation to China wasn't exactly the easiest—particularly when it came to fellow castmembers Morgan Stewart and Brendan Fitzpatrick.
"Morgan was a lot to handle and so was Brendan," Roxy explained. "And I was the first two nights in Nanjing. We all had our days—we each had like one really bad day."
But despite the drama that was endured, the trip was an amazing adventure for Roxy, who unlike her friends had been there twice before.
"China was a lot of exploration, jetlag induced drama, anxiety and stomach issues," she said. "But we got through it all and it was beautiful to see and explore Shanghai and Nanjing. But there was definitely a lot lost in translation."
In addition to China, Roxy also went on a girl's trip to Hawaii with Morgan and Dorothy Wang, which she enjoyed, although she did point out that her dog Lychee Lou was not to happy about her being gone.
When asked about the future of Morgan's relationship with Brendan, Roxy said, "They are in it for the long run as far as I'm concerned. Nothing is too hard for them to deal with."
And as for the dating life of the Persian princess herself, who often jokes on the show about needing to find a new boyfriend?
"I'm not online dating," she was quick to point out (She doesn't count Facebook dating as online dating). "But I am dating. Whatever is meant to be will be. I'm not dying for a boyfriend. I'm very focused on my work right now."
Season two of #RichKids of Beverly Hills is right around the corner and Jonny Drubel is ready to roll!
Fresh off a plane from China and "more in demand than glitter during Pride month" as he puts it, Jonny has been extremely busy with both his career and personal life. He's chosen to take a short break from the music industry and has recently signed on as the advisor for a social media company which is getting ready to launch.
When asked about his recent trip to China with the gang, Jonny said, "It was a s--t show. There was a lot of dumpling eating and wondering where the closest McDonald's was. You can expect a lot of #RichKids completely out of their element with Dorothy being our tour guide, which was absolutely hilarious in itself. When you travel with that many people and we're all that close, it gets dramatic because you're away and there's a lot of jetlag, there was no Facebook and no Twitter because it's a Communist country."
In addition to dealing with travel and friendship drama, Jonny also served as nurse and caretaker to Brendan Fitzpatrick, who wasn't doing so well on the trip.
"Brendan had the first freakout," Jonny explained. "We landed in Beijing and Brendan had a meltdown because the airport's air conditioner was literally broken and he just started sweating. I was holding him in my lap with a damp cloth over his forehead and nursing him back to health."
As for the season two premiere of #RichKids and how it will compare to the previous season?
"First season is like you got tipsy," Jonny said. "Second season is like you blacked out, then you wake up and go, 'How did that just happen?' You get to know everyone a lot better, how we got to where we are and how we all became friends. There's a lot of drama, a lot of fighting—there will be some explosions."
