On the latest episode of her podcast, Heather Dubrow’s World from PodcastOne, the 52-year-old actress talks to Andy Cohen about why she ultimately decided to come back for season 16 of the hit Bravo show.
I think the viewers want it, the show is at a crossroads right now, we have some rebuilding to do, and I think that it’s just interesting.
“I think that what’s great is, you can leave something …
Dubrow, who originally announced she was leaving the franchise in January 2017, said her kids played a big role in her decision to return all these years later.
My family’s in a different place, my kids are a little bit older, the pandemic has sort of given me a different perspective on things.
I sort of came to the realization that, wait a minute, this might be that kind of space-time continuum moment where it’s like a good idea to go back, we sat down, we had a family meeting about it.
“I thought at least one of them was going to say, ‘I don’t know,’ but they were one hundred percent, all of them, all in,” she revealed.
“I didn’t watch it before I started and I haven’t seen it since I left,” she shared.
“We’ve been working on this for a while and I’m excited for people to meet the new Housewives who haven’t been announced,” he said.
“That being said, listening to her at the reunion, made me and I think the other producers feel like, ‘You know what, maybe at this moment in time being on TV, wasn’t the healthiest spot for she and her family,'” he continued.
I make mistakes,” she said of the controversies during a December appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.
