In Touch caught up with Caroline where she told us about her plan to start fresh after last season’s “dead end” drama. “I at least know how I feel and the past is where I want it to be. It’s in the past,” Caroline says of the finale.
In Touch revealed the news of Danielle’s return, but Caroline insists she’s not shaken by the troublemaker’s comeback. “Does not even faze me,” Caroline says of Danielle’s return.
“If she’s talking, I don’t know about it. I only know what I read from you guys and I’m like, ‘Ooh, interesting.’”
And as for Teresa, Caroline insists the two are civil to each other, but remain far from reconciliation.
“I don’t know if we could go back to where it was, but I’d certainly like to be able to get into, ‘How’s the kids? How’s everything?’ Civil,” Caroline admits.
So, who does Caroline think is worse: Danielle or Teresa?
“It’s a matter of perception,” she admits. “Everybody has their opinion of [Teresa]. She has a tremendous fan base and to some, I became the new Danielle.”
Over the weekend, RumorFix reported that Tamra Barney went for a bridal dress fitting with some of her co-stars — and our keen RumorFix readers noticed that former Real Housewives of Orange County star Lauri Peterson was in the group.
So of course, the Internet went a buzzing — Is Lauri, who was on four seasons, coming back?
A source close to the show tells our Real Mr. Housewife exclusively, “No she is not returning as a full-time Housewife.“
While it may be nice to see Lauri in a few scenes — assuming that Tamra’s bridal dress shopping was taped — it will be sad for Lauri’s fans to now know that she will NOT be back as a full-time Housewife.
Reality Tea interviewed the new Housewife, who admitted, "I'm petrified, honestly. I don't know what the other women say behind my back. A lot of the times these women are nice to you when you're standing there and then they talk shit about you behind your back. I'm not that person. If I talk shit about you I talk shit to you and I won't like you off camera either."
Could she be making another dig at Lisa? Marisa clarified, “And I don't 'not like' Lisa or Taylor; I just have opinions.” According to the newcomer, “There's been little things with Lisa that she did to me off camera or on camera and then I ignored it. I would not ignore it next season but I let it go this time because I was the new girl. So I did let things go with people."
There was also a bit of a learning curve. “It was completely shocking,” Marisa says, “but it was a shitload of fun.” The most shocking part? Lisa, once again. Marisa was surprised, because she thought she’d get along famously with the witty Brit. But Marisa says of Lisa, “She's very nice on camera. She's very nice and kind on camera. And she's nice to the people she likes off camera."
Above all, Marisa just wants viewers to realize what a loving wife and mother she is. “I have a housekeeper,” Marisa says. “I don't have a nanny. My husband and I do all the driving. We all travel together. We're very hands-on parents. So to me, those are the most important things."
Marisa will be introduced to the ladies and the Bravo audience in Season 3, Episode 7, which airs December 17th.
You aren’t cool with what went down in Halle Berry’s driveway. Why?
“My beef is that, if it was two black men who go to work on each other like that, they would say that ‘it’s expected of us,’ ‘we’re criminals,’ ‘we belong in jail’ and ‘they should take the kid away from the woman and put her in a foster home.’ If this man, who just won a custody battle, is coming to drop off his kid in the driveway, Halle Berry had the power to shut all that down.
This is a very volatile situation that she’s put herself in once again. He’s dropping off his daughter and all Halle had to do is come out of the house, meet the baby half way just because they don’t like each other and keep it moving and that man can go about his business. But, for the fact that her man, her current boyfriend, had to have something to say and then homeboy had the beatdown of life by a boxer, he should have gone to jail.
When I looked at the pictures, that beatdown was severe. That’s a beatdown and a half, stitches, black eye. I’m surprised he didn’t knock out a couple of teeth while he was at it.”
