Speaker 3 (01:02):
I remember when she I think it was on season two.
Speaker 5 (01:06):
Hi Joanna, Hi, how are you?
Speaker 6 (01:09):
Hi?
Speaker 4 (01:09):
Joanna? You are so beautiful, I tell.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
You, Oh my god, thank you.
Speaker 6 (01:14):
Well.
Speaker 5 (01:14):
You guys look beautiful.
Speaker 6 (01:15):
Oh, Joyanna, way, I have to tell you this is
a fun fact, because I'm not like this. So I
used to be a fan of you when you were
on Miami. I used to I watched it. I didn't
watch TV.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Back then much. And what year was that, Joanna.
Speaker 7 (01:31):
Twenty twelve and twenty thirteen, because my wedding was twenty thirteen,
so we started the year before that.
Speaker 6 (01:38):
Yeah, So I used to watch you and I always
thought you were so pretty, and it was long before
my housewife world, So full circle.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Now I get to talk to you about something we
have in common.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
Which is animals.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Yes, Dolores is she loves animals, I think more than
she loves humans much. Yeah, and she is constantly rescuing,
taking in animals, always has stories. So we're really excited
to talk to you about Street Rescue, which is a
docuseries premiering on YouTube on October twenty fourth.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
We want to hear all about it.
Speaker 7 (02:19):
Well, those that do follow me probably know that I'm
a crazy animal lover. I have been since I mean
the day I could remember. But when I started to
get successful and feel, you know that I actually have
a voice, I decided that in order to be fully satisfied,
not only you know, living my dream and doing covers
(02:39):
worldwide and doing TV shows. I wanted to give back
and inspire others. So I started working with you know,
PETA and the Humane Society back oh my gosh, over
twenty years ago, and I decided that I'm going to
use my voice for the ones that don't have a voice.
And I then later started my own animal rescue, which
(03:02):
is Angels for Animal Rescue. Now it's been a dream
of mine for a while to do street rescue because
living in California, you know, the vetting bills are over
the top ridiculous, and you know, sometimes I went to
the vets office and I actually seen people cry because
they couldn't afford to take care of their pets. So
(03:23):
I told myself, I would love to do a project
where we can go help you know, the low income people,
the people that live paycheck to paycheck, the homeless, whoever
needs our help with vetting bills of their animals. Plus also,
you know there's situations where someone just can't afford their
animal and instead of giving it to a shelter, which
(03:44):
is ninety percent of the time, a high kill shelter
where the dogs or cats get killed. So we try
to prevent that. So there's a lot of different rescue
stories involved with our show Street Rescue, but mostly it's
about paying for the vet bills for these people that
have a sick dog or any spain, neutering, just whatever
(04:05):
the situation is. And and most of them are low
income people. We also have, you know, some people that
live out of their trailers. We went to skid row,
people that are homeless. So it's just a bunch of
people that love their for babies, no matter if they're homeless,
no matter if you know, you could be super wealthy
and successful and you love your fur babies. So it's
(04:27):
different kinds of stories, but also you know, to just
to help people, to let them know that there is
help out out there. And hopefully with this project, we
can build and grow a community where people can you know,
support us, where we can help more. Because right now,
for the first season, I basically funded the whole show
(04:48):
myself and all the vetting bills and you know, all
the help that was needed. So in order wonderful, I
you know, like I do make jokes. I'm like, you know,
I'm not a superficial where you know, I need a
bunch of handbags and shoes and all that because I
think I'm like handbag or save an animals, you know.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
So it's like, well, that means you have a gigantic heart, is.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
What you mean? You know what?
Speaker 5 (05:10):
On camera?
Speaker 7 (05:11):
Sometimes I feel like it's too big, and I mean
not to ever, not to blow smoke up my you know.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
But the thing is, blow it up your ass all
you want, girl.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
If you don't, we will.
Speaker 5 (05:23):
Not even that.
Speaker 7 (05:24):
It's just sometimes I feel like I feel too much
or I have so much empathy that it hurts me
and I go, you know, like it's like if I
see someone being hurt or you know, if it's an
animal or a child or whatever the situation in the
world with you know, the different horrible things going on
with the wars and stuff like, I literally feel like
(05:45):
it affects me.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
It really, I feel path.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
You're that path, Joanna, And I.
Speaker 7 (05:51):
Will tell you it's not the greatest thing because I
feel like I worry about everything else going on then myself,
you know what I mean. So, but it's hard, you know,
with this project, at least I feel like I'm doing
something because I always feel like it's not enough, you
know what I do, and with building a community, I
can help so much more. We can help together as
(06:13):
a community because you know, if we become successful, you know,
all the likes, the subscribers, all that makes such a
big difference.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Okay, money that can right.
Speaker 7 (06:22):
To the nonprofit, then we can help even more so.
And it's not even helping the fur babies. It's the
families because there's so many people that love their animal,
They love their.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
Pets, you know.
Speaker 7 (06:34):
Like for me, my pets have always been kind of
my therapy being you know, going through the two divorces
and you know, ups and downs in my life. They've
always been, you know, the happy. Nobody's ever as happy
as they are when you come home, that's for sure.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
How many pets do you have?
Speaker 7 (06:50):
I only have three right now, which for me is
a lot. The most I've had at one point was
seven that were mine. I did have at home about
eleven that we're going through foster care or going through
the adoption process.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
So mostly.
Speaker 7 (07:07):
Now because of my daughter, I do also try to
help outside with different animal organizations, also with street rescue.
So aside, you know, just being really busy with my
daughter and trying to be a hands on mom. I
try not to put too much responsibility when it comes
to the fur babies, because my one last week was sick,
(07:27):
you know, nine pm at the emergency room, two am
pick her up. So you know, I got to focus.
Also that I do have a little girl now, so
I can't have eleven dogs taking care of them. But
I do whatever I can to give back when it
comes to other organizations or as this new dream project.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Do you have any advice for somebody out there that
wants to get involved or help out in pet rescue.
Speaker 7 (07:51):
Well, you know our the Street Rescue, our show and
also you know street Rescue dot com, our website.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
It will have any way people want to get involved.
Speaker 7 (08:01):
You know, one the best way to get involved is
you know, to watch our show to subscribe. That's one
way there's gonna be. Also we're building a community where
we're gonna also let people know, you know, a link
where they can adapt or where they can volunteer, where
they can donate food or bedding if they want to
work or volunteer their time at shelters or different organizations
(08:24):
that that that need their help, or if there is
a family that you know have a that has a
sick animal. We're also going to provide the low income
facilities around that are very helpful and are a big
part of you know, the animal loving group where they're
not all about profit and caring how much money they make,
(08:44):
you know, with the medical because honestly, the medical when
it comes to two pets, it's it's beyond I don't
know how it is in other states, but here Pornia,
it's absurd.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
It's absurd.
Speaker 6 (08:57):
My daughter's a bat and arian and she often takes
money out of her own pocket to help a family
like that, but she's still not making that much money.
She's been a vet for two years and I don't
know she makes a lot of money for the practice,
but she does, and she has crazy student loans. So
but you know what, I understand every single thing you said.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
It resonates with me very much.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
So Halloween is around the corner and your favorite podcasters
serving up episodes that are so good it's actually scary.
Sex and the City meets Severance when Adam Scott joins
Kristin Davis to discuss the haunting relationship between Big and
Natasha on Are You a Charlotte? And nine one one?
(09:46):
What's Your Emergency? The new episode of Call It What
It Is? Of course, nine to one Nashville co star
Kimberly Williams Paisley joins Jessica Kapshaw and Camilla Leddington to
talk about her health scare, her superstar Huby Brad, Paisley,
her memories on the set of Father of the Bride
with the legendary Diane Keaton. Oscar winner Bree Larsen is
a work in progress. Sophia Bush finds out why, and
(10:08):
Walt's right over to daniel with because Danielle Fischel has
fellow Dancing with the Stars contestant Dylan Efron on to
talk about the ballroom, the.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Leaderboard and more.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Listen now on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever
you get your podcast.
Speaker 6 (10:34):
I was thinking, is there a world where like people
that want a pet, but they say, like I can't.
I can't do it because I'm not home enough, I
don't have the house board. But I want to do something,
you know how, like sometimes you can adopt a kid
from another country and pay for their birthday or pay
for things like that. Maybe if that's an idea you
(10:54):
can add to what you do. I don't have a foundation,
I don't have the heart for it. Joanna, I work
with a lot of pet rescues.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
What you do for.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
You, good for you.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
But you do it, I can't do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 7 (11:06):
That's the most important thing, being proactive, you know, because
not everybody can have pets. You know, our lifestyle might
might not be okay with it. You know, if it
wasn't for my mom helping out, or you know, people
in my life that helped out, like I wouldn't be
able to travel, I wouldn't be able to pursue you know,
my dreams and my work because I would be have
to be home with the pets. But there is ways
(11:29):
for people to get involved. I'm not sure. Actually, that's
a good point you bring up. If there's a way,
like you said with like with different kids, or like
with families where you can adapt by doing you know,
sending money there, I'm sure there isn't.
Speaker 6 (11:43):
That's actually the Christmas card with the dog, or if
the dog went to the doctors and their donation paid
for it, send them a letter thank you so and so.
Speaker 7 (11:53):
So they know that whatever, you know, because I know
there's organizations where you can specifically donate for see let's
say you see an organization take it a dog or
from a shelter, they found it on the street, it's
super sick and need surgery asap. So you could put
the donation and the name of the pet that you're
trying to rescue or at least give money towards to help.
(12:15):
So yeah, there is ways to do it that way.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
But for your foundation, you actually have that too on
your website.
Speaker 7 (12:21):
Okay, great, you can just put in the name of
the dog and then you feel like you're helping that
specific dog.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
So yeah, definitely.
Speaker 7 (12:28):
But I love your idea of you know, like sending
them a card so they're more involved and like with
the you know, showing like how the dog or how
the cat's doing after you know they helped save and
you know, donated towards it. That's actually a really good
point to keep them more hands out.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
And I find because I also work with women's shelters
and a lot of people send me there are things,
and then I'll send them a picture of the people
actually receiving it.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Because a lot with pet rescue, a lot with.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
Donation places that you donate, you want to make sure
that the pet is getting the most of what you're sending.
Speaker 7 (13:07):
Because also I will tell you, I have also been
a victim of scammers, So you really need to when
you want to donate, you really have to make sure
it's a five oh one see nonprofit. Uh there's a
like during the fires here in Los Angeles, I almost
got tricked to of sending money. They had a little puppy.
(13:27):
It looked like it had this yellow material. I guess
after like it's a you get like a burnt victim,
and then they you with something. So they made it
seem like the puppy was being rescued and it was
in the fire. And later I clicked on it and
I'm like, well, how could I donate it? Like, oh,
here is you know a venmo or something?
Speaker 6 (13:49):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Yeah, yeah, I mean you gotta be careful with that.
Speaker 7 (13:54):
And I'm like, well, there is there a hospital I
can donate too? Is there an animal rescue that's a
nonprofit that's certified? And they, you know, came up with
this big story and I'm like, something doesn't smell right here.
And I actually posted on my social media, I'm like,
you guys, be careful.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
Good for you.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Well that happened.
Speaker 6 (14:12):
I adopted a dog from California Sandy Dog Rescue she
had a Chihuahua that was actually crying. Tears were coming
down in space, and it broke my heart. It broke
the internet. And a week later I thought the dog
would have been adopted, and it wasn't. Anyway, I had
it shipped here and then like the dog's eating meat
balls in my mom's kitchen. And then I see it
pop up again on Instagram and another place.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Took the cat.
Speaker 6 (14:38):
Oh yes, yes, yes, another I said, wait a second,
that's unk.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
And you know, so that is terrible or isn't it terrible? Yeah,
it was eating Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Yeah, we adopted. We we rescued. Actually are the dog
that we have now. Prior to that, we had a
pit bull for fourteen years and he passed away and
and then it took us a little while to I
think it was a year or two to adopt a
new pit bull. Now, he was a puppy and he
was the only puppy in there that they said, because
(15:13):
he is a pit bull, nobody wanted him.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Oh, they're the best dogs.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
And he is the sweetest dog, afraid of his own shadow,
just kind.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
He thinks he's human.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
He wants to sit at the dinner table, he wants to,
you know, he hugs people like and it's so sad
that pit bulls get such a bad rap, you know what.
Speaker 7 (15:33):
They have such a bad reputation because of Michael Vick.
I think because of what he did with the dog fighting.
I think a lot of people are you know, scared
because they have it in the back of their head, like, oh,
pipules and fighting dogs, which is such bs because it's hardest,
sweetest dogs. Actually, one of our dogs that passed away
and my fourth dog that we had is actually my
(15:54):
ex husband's. He was a Staffy Terrier and he was
the most amazing dog with my daughter. And when you
look at him, you know, you're like, wow, that's like,
you know, like a guard dog. But like Staffy's and
Pibbles are like I think the dogs when it comes
to children, like they just I don't know, they just
feel that they need to be their protector.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
And it's amazing.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Before we get into other things, Street Rescue it is
a docu. Sentries premiere and on YouTube on October twenty fourth,
and then you have new episodes coming on YouTube every Friday.
They start at seven pm Easter Time, four o'clock.

tips you could use for your dogs or your pets.
So there will be a lot of fun surprises as
(17:11):
we go. Aside from rescuing animals.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Well, things have changed a lot for you since we
saw you on the Real Housewors of Miami. Now as
you know that they have been you know, brought back,
did they ask.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
You to come back to the new reboot?
Speaker 7 (17:40):
I did have conversations with one of the producers.
Speaker 5 (17:43):
He's like, just think about it.
Speaker 7 (17:44):
It was nothing like hey, you know, we really we
really want you to really need you, will you do it?
It was more kind of like I like, oh, hey,
you know, kind of filling it out situation. But I'm
at a point in my life ever since I had
my daughter, and even like when we were filming Housewives,
I didn't want to go back to Miami, and at
that point where we didn't know if Miami was going
(18:05):
to get picked up or not, I was done with it,
so was my ex husband, Roman Roman, my husband at
the time.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
He's like, if I remember Roman, we remember remember.
Speaker 7 (18:15):
And it's like when he he's like, you can film
it without me. I'm not gonna I'm gonna have zero
part in it. My sister said, oh, hell no, I'm
not coming back to it. So really I would have
been filming by myself with it.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
You would do just fine. Think of all the animals.
Speaker 6 (18:29):
You could say, Joanna, I'm going to tell them put
you back on.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
Now what No, she lives in La now So Beverly Hills?
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Would you there?
Speaker 4 (18:36):
You go to ever consider joining in the Real Housewives
at Beverly Hills.
Speaker 7 (18:41):
Well, it's funny because when you know, after the Miami one,
where I was basically okay, I'm done with this, I said,
the only thing I would consider is Real Housewives of
Beverly Hills. That was back then they were considering it.
They're like, oh, that would be kind of cool to
do a transfer for Miami Beverly Hills.
Speaker 5 (18:59):
But that didn't happen.
Speaker 7 (19:00):
But it was definitely something I would would have been
open to back then, and I think Roman he would
have been open to that, not Miami, but Beverly Hills.
Speaker 5 (19:09):
He would have.
Speaker 7 (19:10):
Just at that point back in the day, I think
it was a little bit more classy, probably more classy
than it is now. But yeah, that was we were
in the talks back then about Beverly Hills. But you
know what, it's like, I've been so content with my
life and even before Housewives, Like you know, a lot
of people might not even realize I've had a career
before the Housewives. I did so many things that usually, yes,
(19:32):
the girls that are on Housewives do that I've done before.
I have my own TV show in Poland them like
the Polish Tyra Banks I do. I love that of
America's Next Submodels. So I've been doing that since twenty ten.
So there's a lot of things I've been doing before.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
You how do you do that? Do you do you
go to film and Poland when you for the show,
like are you there for a certain amount of time
and then your your home base is in La.
Speaker 7 (19:58):
Yeah, I live in Los Angeles and for the last
fifteen years been traveling there also for other businesses.
Speaker 5 (20:04):
I am Polish.
Speaker 7 (20:04):
I was born in Warsaw, so for me going back
is fun. But we usually film like six weeks in
the summertime, so then it's convenient because I get to
bring my daughter not have to worry about her schooling.
And then we do where we go. Once a year
we go to the we take our final like semi
final models to a fashion week, so this year we
went to Dublin. We've gone to Paris Fashion Week, we
(20:27):
did La Fashion Week. So every year we do a
different fashion week where our models actually go to cast
things and some of them get casted for these fashion shows.
Some of them don't, which is exciting for us because
we see the potential in them. But the real test
is once you know, they go out in the royal
fashion world and see which designers actually book them. So
(20:48):
it's one of the best shows I've you know, I've
been involved and I love doing and I've been doing
that gosh for almost fifteen years now, so we're on
there fourteenth.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
Congratulation on that.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Congrats, that's amazing. That's a long lasting show and.
Speaker 7 (21:04):
It's one of the top shows there, and you know,
and it's like, I, you know, after I decided that,
you know, The Housewives is not something that I want
to continue doing, it's because it just wasn't worth the
stress for me, and especially.
Speaker 5 (21:17):
Now being a mom.
Speaker 7 (21:19):
Maybe if my daughter was older, maybe, but right now,
just like, it's just too much stress. I even apaid
enough stress in my life as it is with you know,
my animals, my rescue, my traveling, my work, my daughter.
Speaker 5 (21:32):
So I'm just like, why add the extra stress? I
give you guys, props? I really do.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
She smacked during your time on the show.
Speaker 5 (21:43):
I was yes by Adriana.
Speaker 6 (21:45):
I was yeah, you know what, Joanna, I think being
an EmPATH and even just speaking to you shortly in
the beginning of this which I've always thought you were
beautiful inside and out in a class act. But I
think because you feel so deeply and it's not easy,
it's just I don't think that I think that it's
(22:06):
not it affects you more than other people would see.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
I'm like a stone bitch a little bit, like I'm not.
I'm an EmPATH now, Joanna, like I'm an EmPATH too.
Speaker 6 (22:16):
Like if someone's in the room and they're hurt, I
feel it in my gut and I lose sleep over
animals and children and the things that go on.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
I lose sleep.
Speaker 6 (22:26):
But when I'm in the room with mean people, I
don't care about their feelings. Like, but I think that
you probably would be affected in a way, and it's
not easy, and if you did it longer, you would
probably become callous.
Speaker 7 (22:39):
Yeah, And the thing is, you know, I think also
I was extra sensitive when it came. You know, obviously,
I remember the producers say that I'm unpredictable and they
love the fact that I'm predictable because if somebody pissed
me off, I definitely let them have it. And I
feel like on that show, I was I wasn't proud
of the person that came out from that show, just
(22:59):
because you know, I've never been in my life with
a group of people that were just like from every ankle,
I felt like I'm going to I'm getting attacked. And
I don't know if it was just a jealousy thing
where because I was established to a point in my
life where you know, I did the Dancing with the Stars,
I did other ABC shows. I did you know, covers
of magazine worldwide, I did you know cover of Playboy
twice celebrity. So I think coming into the show as
(23:23):
somewhat of a name, I think the girls felt even
more pressure too.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Oh absolutely, because I think a lot of girls come
into the show not established, and they want to become
established and they've used this platform.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Those are the worst things.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
But you already had a platform, you were already well known,
so within when it comes to show, you honestly could
take it or leave it because you had other projects.
Speaker 7 (23:46):
Yeah, And also I think that's why also I felt
a little bit more, you know, because I'm all about
women power.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
I get it.
Speaker 5 (23:52):
I get it. It's reality. You need drama, I get it.
Speaker 7 (23:55):
But there's a certin amount of drama that's just you know,
I just I just don't want to deal with it anymore.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
And back then it was also I was a.
Speaker 7 (24:03):
Little bit worried about my brand because my brand until
the point of Real Housewives of Miami was very angelic,
very you know, like no drama. Side from I did
have a drama situation with teraryll Owens on a show
we did for ABC. But aside from that, I didn't
really have any you know, big drama in the media.
(24:25):
So that was also something in the back of my
head about, Okay, what are my clients gonna think? What
about all these brands that I'm working?
Speaker 6 (24:31):
Yeah, sure you could lose endorsements with please so wrong
thing exactly.
Speaker 7 (24:37):
So that's why I was like, Okay, I'm you know,
I was appreciative of it.
Speaker 5 (24:41):
Do I regret it?
Speaker 7 (24:42):
Maybe there's moments I do regret it, maybe the way
I allowed myself to be, but you know, hey, more
power to people, you know, to you guys, everybody that
does it and takes advantage of it and builds a brand.
Speaker 5 (24:56):
Like you know, I'm all girl.
Speaker 6 (24:58):
You seem to be doing just fine fine, but are you.
Do you speak to anyone who you used to film with?
Speaker 3 (25:05):
You know?
Speaker 7 (25:06):
I briefly speak with like Anna Karen I even seen
or spoke to in a little bit, but she was
one of my closest friends since the show.
Speaker 5 (25:14):
And Leah Black.
Speaker 7 (25:15):
I messaged her when her husband passed away, you know,
to let her know that if she needs anything to
reach out but yeah, those those three were probably the
ones that supported me right off the bats. We kind
of had a bond, Like none of them ever disrespect
to me. Never I felt like they were my enemies.
So those are the ones I still do keep.
Speaker 6 (25:37):
Well. You kind of remember when people kick you when
you're down, the people you meet your friends on that road,
and the people who don't do that and pile on you,
you remember, like those are the people you remember at
that time.
Speaker 7 (25:50):
You appreciate that exactly, and you know it's like I
remember every anytime before I went to film, I'm like,
give me a shot, give me a shot.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
And I was always wasted on that show because.
Speaker 6 (26:01):
I always so many are like that, right.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Yeah, speaking of Leah, who I love, she just did
an interview and said Marisol put a hex on her
to get her off the show.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
Wait when did she say that? Man?
Speaker 4 (26:20):
Recently?
Speaker 3 (26:21):
Yep, she just did an interview.
Speaker 6 (26:23):
Any thoughts on that playing Marisol for doing that stuff
all the time.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
It was actually on watch it was on watching Lia
said that, yeah.
Speaker 5 (26:33):
Watch what happens. I don't. I did not watch it
and see that.
Speaker 7 (26:35):
I didn't know, But I feel like Leah always felt
like Marisol didn't like her and uh always wanted her
off the show. But I did hear from Anna that
Alexia begged the producers or begged Bravo to keep Marisol
on the show and get gave her a part of
(26:56):
her salary. That's what I heard, really, That's why, that's.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
What I heard.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
Ask there's some tea.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
I've never heard that before, never heard that before, and
I'm friends with both.
Speaker 6 (27:07):
Of them, so I don't know, you know, I think
maybe she did offer that. I don't know that they
would do that because she's a friend of so she
gets paid like as a friend up. Marisol is not
a full time housewife, even though she films full.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
Of films like one.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
But she has films like one, so she's as friend up.
She only gets that, and they wouldn't have to. I mean,
you don't get that. I don't know.
Speaker 5 (27:28):
That's what I heard.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
So I'm just anyway for the tea, No, we love.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
We love it.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
Anything else the other year for it?
Speaker 7 (27:36):
No, nothing else. I don't have any other inside to
scoop for you guys.
Speaker 5 (27:40):
Today.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Well that was good, Actually that was good.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
Well we'll ended up.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
We're not mad at it at all.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
We're going to end it on that.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
We thank you so much for your time, and guys,

Speaker 5 (28:03):
Positive.
Speaker 7 (28:03):
It's positive. You know that we're helping these people. So
you know, we try to make it. We don't want
to make it or we don't want to make it
like depressing and sad and for people to feel worse watching.
We want to uplift to show that caring about another
person and another and a fur baby could be a
(28:24):
positive thing. So it's not depressed it.
Speaker 6 (28:27):
I know I cry even at the happy stories when
it comes to animals, Joanna.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
So yours are okay, but she cries.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
She cries nothing about humans, not one thing, no one thing.

Hi, guys, welcome back to another episode of The twat
Seat with myself, Tamra Judge.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
And Dolores Catanya.
Speaker 4 (00:19):
Hi, good morning, Dolores.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Hi.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
So today we haven't blast from the past when it
comes to Housewives, and it's Joanna Krupa.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
Now she's been very, very busy with a.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Project called Street Rescue, which I know you and her
are going to.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
Have a lot to talk about.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Now, Joanna, she is a model and actress in television Percenter.
She was on Housewives.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
She is now.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Currently the head judge of Polish Top Model. She's been doing.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Oh I did not know that. So she lives in Poland.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Now twenty ten. I think she lives in La So
we're gonna have to ask her about that. She appeared
at Dancing with the Stars, and of course she was
on The Real.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Housewives on Miami.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
I remember when she I think it was on season two.
Speaker 5 (01:06):
Hi Joanna, Hi, how are you?
Speaker 6 (01:09):
Hi?
Speaker 4 (01:09):
Joanna? You are so beautiful, I tell.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
You, Oh my god, thank you.
Speaker 6 (01:14):
Well.
Speaker 5 (01:14):
You guys look beautiful.
Speaker 6 (01:15):
Oh, Joyanna, way, I have to tell you this is
a fun fact, because I'm not like this. So I
used to be a fan of you when you were
on Miami. I used to I watched it. I didn't
watch TV.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Back then much. And what year was that, Joanna.
Speaker 7 (01:31):
Twenty twelve and twenty thirteen, because my wedding was twenty thirteen,
so we started the year before that.
Speaker 6 (01:38):
Yeah, So I used to watch you and I always
thought you were so pretty, and it was long before
my housewife world, So full circle.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Now I get to talk to you about something we
have in common.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
Which is animals.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Yes, Dolores is she loves animals, I think more than
she loves humans much. Yeah, and she is constantly rescuing,
taking in animals, always has stories. So we're really excited
to talk to you about Street Rescue, which is a
docuseries premiering on YouTube on October twenty fourth.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
We want to hear all about it.
Speaker 7 (02:19):
Well, those that do follow me probably know that I'm
a crazy animal lover. I have been since I mean
the day I could remember. But when I started to
get successful and feel, you know that I actually have
a voice, I decided that in order to be fully satisfied,
not only you know, living my dream and doing covers
(02:39):
worldwide and doing TV shows. I wanted to give back
and inspire others. So I started working with you know,
PETA and the Humane Society back oh my gosh, over
twenty years ago, and I decided that I'm going to
use my voice for the ones that don't have a voice.
And I then later started my own animal rescue, which
(03:02):
is Angels for Animal Rescue. Now it's been a dream
of mine for a while to do street rescue because
living in California, you know, the vetting bills are over
the top ridiculous, and you know, sometimes I went to
the vets office and I actually seen people cry because
they couldn't afford to take care of their pets. So
(03:23):
I told myself, I would love to do a project
where we can go help you know, the low income people,
the people that live paycheck to paycheck, the homeless, whoever
needs our help with vetting bills of their animals. Plus also,
you know there's situations where someone just can't afford their
animal and instead of giving it to a shelter, which
(03:44):
is ninety percent of the time, a high kill shelter
where the dogs or cats get killed. So we try
to prevent that. So there's a lot of different rescue
stories involved with our show Street Rescue, but mostly it's
about paying for the vet bills for these people that
have a sick dog or any spain, neutering, just whatever
(04:05):
the situation is. And and most of them are low
income people. We also have, you know, some people that
live out of their trailers. We went to skid row,
people that are homeless. So it's just a bunch of
people that love their for babies, no matter if they're homeless,
no matter if you know, you could be super wealthy
and successful and you love your fur babies. So it's
(04:27):
different kinds of stories, but also you know, to just
to help people, to let them know that there is
help out out there. And hopefully with this project, we
can build and grow a community where people can you know,
support us, where we can help more. Because right now,
for the first season, I basically funded the whole show
(04:48):
myself and all the vetting bills and you know, all
the help that was needed. So in order wonderful, I
you know, like I do make jokes. I'm like, you know,
I'm not a superficial where you know, I need a
bunch of handbags and shoes and all that because I
think I'm like handbag or save an animals, you know.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
So it's like, well, that means you have a gigantic heart, is.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
What you mean? You know what?
Speaker 5 (05:10):
On camera?
Speaker 7 (05:11):
Sometimes I feel like it's too big, and I mean
not to ever, not to blow smoke up my you know.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
But the thing is, blow it up your ass all
you want, girl.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
If you don't, we will.
Speaker 5 (05:23):
Not even that.
Speaker 7 (05:24):
It's just sometimes I feel like I feel too much
or I have so much empathy that it hurts me
and I go, you know, like it's like if I
see someone being hurt or you know, if it's an
animal or a child or whatever the situation in the
world with you know, the different horrible things going on
with the wars and stuff like, I literally feel like
(05:45):
it affects me.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
It really, I feel path.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
You're that path, Joanna, And I.
Speaker 7 (05:51):
Will tell you it's not the greatest thing because I
feel like I worry about everything else going on then myself,
you know what I mean. So, but it's hard, you know,
with this project, at least I feel like I'm doing
something because I always feel like it's not enough, you
know what I do, and with building a community, I
can help so much more. We can help together as
(06:13):
a community because you know, if we become successful, you know,
all the likes, the subscribers, all that makes such a
big difference.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Okay, money that can right.
Speaker 7 (06:22):
To the nonprofit, then we can help even more so.
And it's not even helping the fur babies. It's the
families because there's so many people that love their animal,
They love their.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
Pets, you know.
Speaker 7 (06:34):
Like for me, my pets have always been kind of
my therapy being you know, going through the two divorces
and you know, ups and downs in my life. They've
always been, you know, the happy. Nobody's ever as happy
as they are when you come home, that's for sure.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
How many pets do you have?
Speaker 7 (06:50):
I only have three right now, which for me is
a lot. The most I've had at one point was
seven that were mine. I did have at home about
eleven that we're going through foster care or going through
the adoption process.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
So mostly.
Speaker 7 (07:07):
Now because of my daughter, I do also try to
help outside with different animal organizations, also with street rescue.
So aside, you know, just being really busy with my
daughter and trying to be a hands on mom. I
try not to put too much responsibility when it comes
to the fur babies, because my one last week was sick,
(07:27):
you know, nine pm at the emergency room, two am
pick her up. So you know, I got to focus.
Also that I do have a little girl now, so
I can't have eleven dogs taking care of them. But
I do whatever I can to give back when it
comes to other organizations or as this new dream project.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Do you have any advice for somebody out there that
wants to get involved or help out in pet rescue.
Speaker 7 (07:51):
Well, you know our the Street Rescue, our show and
also you know street Rescue dot com, our website.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
It will have any way people want to get involved.
Speaker 7 (08:01):
You know, one the best way to get involved is
you know, to watch our show to subscribe. That's one
way there's gonna be. Also we're building a community where
we're gonna also let people know, you know, a link
where they can adapt or where they can volunteer, where
they can donate food or bedding if they want to
work or volunteer their time at shelters or different organizations
(08:24):
that that that need their help, or if there is
a family that you know have a that has a
sick animal. We're also going to provide the low income
facilities around that are very helpful and are a big
part of you know, the animal loving group where they're
not all about profit and caring how much money they make,
(08:44):
you know, with the medical because honestly, the medical when
it comes to two pets, it's it's beyond I don't
know how it is in other states, but here Pornia,
it's absurd.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
It's absurd.
Speaker 6 (08:57):
My daughter's a bat and arian and she often takes
money out of her own pocket to help a family
like that, but she's still not making that much money.
She's been a vet for two years and I don't
know she makes a lot of money for the practice,
but she does, and she has crazy student loans. So
but you know what, I understand every single thing you said.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
It resonates with me very much.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
So Halloween is around the corner and your favorite podcasters
serving up episodes that are so good it's actually scary.
Sex and the City meets Severance when Adam Scott joins
Kristin Davis to discuss the haunting relationship between Big and
Natasha on Are You a Charlotte? And nine one one?

It Is? Of course, nine to one Nashville co star
Kimberly Williams Paisley joins Jessica Kapshaw and Camilla Leddington to
talk about her health scare, her superstar Huby Brad, Paisley,
her memories on the set of Father of the Bride

a work in progress. Sophia Bush finds out why, and
(10:08):
Walt's right over to daniel with because Danielle Fischel has
fellow Dancing with the Stars contestant Dylan Efron on to
talk about the ballroom, the.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Leaderboard and more.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Listen now on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever
you get your podcast.
Speaker 6 (10:34):
I was thinking, is there a world where like people
that want a pet, but they say, like I can't.
I can't do it because I'm not home enough, I
don't have the house board. But I want to do something,
you know how, like sometimes you can adopt a kid
from another country and pay for their birthday or pay
for things like that. Maybe if that's an idea you
(10:54):
can add to what you do. I don't have a foundation,
I don't have the heart for it. Joanna, I work
with a lot of pet rescues.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
What you do for.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
You, good for you.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
But you do it, I can't do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 7 (11:06):
That's the most important thing, being proactive, you know, because
not everybody can have pets. You know, our lifestyle might
might not be okay with it. You know, if it
wasn't for my mom helping out, or you know, people
in my life that helped out, like I wouldn't be
able to travel, I wouldn't be able to pursue you know,
my dreams and my work because I would be have
to be home with the pets. But there is ways
(11:29):
for people to get involved. I'm not sure. Actually, that's
a good point you bring up. If there's a way,
like you said with like with different kids, or like
with families where you can adapt by doing you know,
sending money there, I'm sure there isn't.
Speaker 6 (11:43):
That's actually the Christmas card with the dog, or if
the dog went to the doctors and their donation paid
for it, send them a letter thank you so and so.
Speaker 7 (11:53):
So they know that whatever, you know, because I know
there's organizations where you can specifically donate for see let's
say you see an organization take it a dog or
from a shelter, they found it on the street, it's
super sick and need surgery asap. So you could put
the donation and the name of the pet that you're
trying to rescue or at least give money towards to help.
(12:15):
So yeah, there is ways to do it that way.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
But for your foundation, you actually have that too on
your website.
Speaker 7 (12:21):
Okay, great, you can just put in the name of
the dog and then you feel like you're helping that
specific dog.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
So yeah, definitely.
Speaker 7 (12:28):
But I love your idea of you know, like sending
them a card so they're more involved and like with
the you know, showing like how the dog or how
the cat's doing after you know they helped save and
you know, donated towards it. That's actually a really good
point to keep them more hands out.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
And I find because I also work with women's shelters
and a lot of people send me there are things,
and then I'll send them a picture of the people
actually receiving it.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Because a lot with pet rescue, a lot with.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
Donation places that you donate, you want to make sure
that the pet is getting the most of what you're sending.
Speaker 7 (13:07):
Because also I will tell you, I have also been
a victim of scammers, So you really need to when
you want to donate, you really have to make sure
it's a five oh one see nonprofit. Uh there's a
like during the fires here in Los Angeles, I almost
got tricked to of sending money. They had a little puppy.
(13:27):
It looked like it had this yellow material. I guess
after like it's a you get like a burnt victim,
and then they you with something. So they made it
seem like the puppy was being rescued and it was
in the fire. And later I clicked on it and
I'm like, well, how could I donate it? Like, oh,
here is you know a venmo or something?
Speaker 6 (13:49):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Yeah, yeah, I mean you gotta be careful with that.
Speaker 7 (13:54):
And I'm like, well, there is there a hospital I
can donate too? Is there an animal rescue that's a
nonprofit that's certified? And they, you know, came up with
this big story and I'm like, something doesn't smell right here.
And I actually posted on my social media, I'm like,
you guys, be careful.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
Good for you.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Well that happened.
Speaker 6 (14:12):
I adopted a dog from California Sandy Dog Rescue she
had a Chihuahua that was actually crying. Tears were coming
down in space, and it broke my heart. It broke
the internet. And a week later I thought the dog
would have been adopted, and it wasn't. Anyway, I had
it shipped here and then like the dog's eating meat
balls in my mom's kitchen. And then I see it
pop up again on Instagram and another place.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Took the cat.
Speaker 6 (14:38):
Oh yes, yes, yes, another I said, wait a second,
that's unk.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
And you know, so that is terrible or isn't it terrible? Yeah,
it was eating Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Yeah, we adopted. We we rescued. Actually are the dog
that we have now. Prior to that, we had a
pit bull for fourteen years and he passed away and
and then it took us a little while to I
think it was a year or two to adopt a
new pit bull. Now, he was a puppy and he
was the only puppy in there that they said, because
(15:13):
he is a pit bull, nobody wanted him.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Oh, they're the best dogs.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
And he is the sweetest dog, afraid of his own shadow,
just kind.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
He thinks he's human.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
He wants to sit at the dinner table, he wants to,
you know, he hugs people like and it's so sad
that pit bulls get such a bad rap, you know what.
Speaker 7 (15:33):
They have such a bad reputation because of Michael Vick.
I think because of what he did with the dog fighting.
I think a lot of people are you know, scared
because they have it in the back of their head, like, oh,
pipules and fighting dogs, which is such bs because it's hardest,
sweetest dogs. Actually, one of our dogs that passed away
and my fourth dog that we had is actually my
(15:54):
ex husband's. He was a Staffy Terrier and he was
the most amazing dog with my daughter. And when you
look at him, you know, you're like, wow, that's like,
you know, like a guard dog. But like Staffy's and
Pibbles are like I think the dogs when it comes
to children, like they just I don't know, they just
feel that they need to be their protector.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
And it's amazing.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Before we get into other things, Street Rescue it is
a docu. Sentries premiere and on YouTube on October twenty fourth,

So there will be a lot of fun surprises as
(17:11):
we go. Aside from rescuing animals.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Well, things have changed a lot for you since we
saw you on the Real Housewors of Miami. Now as
you know that they have been you know, brought back,
did they ask.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
You to come back to the new reboot?
Speaker 7 (17:40):
I did have conversations with one of the producers.
Speaker 5 (17:43):
He's like, just think about it.
Speaker 7 (17:44):
It was nothing like hey, you know, we really we
really want you to really need you, will you do it?
It was more kind of like I like, oh, hey,
you know, kind of filling it out situation. But I'm
at a point in my life ever since I had
my daughter, and even like when we were filming Housewives,
I didn't want to go back to Miami, and at
that point where we didn't know if Miami was going
(18:05):
to get picked up or not, I was done with it,
so was my ex husband, Roman Roman, my husband at
the time.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
He's like, if I remember Roman, we remember remember.
Speaker 7 (18:15):
And it's like when he he's like, you can film
it without me. I'm not gonna I'm gonna have zero
part in it. My sister said, oh, hell no, I'm
not coming back to it. So really I would have
been filming by myself with it.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
You would do just fine. Think of all the animals.
Speaker 6 (18:29):
You could say, Joanna, I'm going to tell them put
you back on.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
Now what No, she lives in La now So Beverly Hills?
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Would you there?
Speaker 4 (18:36):
You go to ever consider joining in the Real Housewives
at Beverly Hills.
Speaker 7 (18:41):
Well, it's funny because when you know, after the Miami one,
where I was basically okay, I'm done with this, I said,
the only thing I would consider is Real Housewives of
Beverly Hills. That was back then they were considering it.
They're like, oh, that would be kind of cool to
do a transfer for Miami Beverly Hills.
Speaker 5 (18:59):
But that didn't happen.
Speaker 7 (19:00):
But it was definitely something I would would have been
open to back then, and I think Roman he would
have been open to that, not Miami, but Beverly Hills.
Speaker 5 (19:09):
He would have.
Speaker 7 (19:10):
Just at that point back in the day, I think
it was a little bit more classy, probably more classy
than it is now. But yeah, that was we were
in the talks back then about Beverly Hills. But you
know what, it's like, I've been so content with my
life and even before Housewives, Like you know, a lot
of people might not even realize I've had a career
before the Housewives. I did so many things that usually, yes,
(19:32):
the girls that are on Housewives do that I've done before.
I have my own TV show in Poland them like
the Polish Tyra Banks I do. I love that of
America's Next Submodels. So I've been doing that since twenty ten.
So there's a lot of things I've been doing before.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
You how do you do that? Do you do you
go to film and Poland when you for the show,
like are you there for a certain amount of time
and then your your home base is in La.
Speaker 7 (19:58):
Yeah, I live in Los Angeles and for the last
fifteen years been traveling there also for other businesses.
Speaker 5 (20:04):
I am Polish.
Speaker 7 (20:04):
I was born in Warsaw, so for me going back
is fun. But we usually film like six weeks in
the summertime, so then it's convenient because I get to
bring my daughter not have to worry about her schooling.
And then we do where we go. Once a year
we go to the we take our final like semi
final models to a fashion week, so this year we
went to Dublin. We've gone to Paris Fashion Week, we
(20:27):
did La Fashion Week. So every year we do a
different fashion week where our models actually go to cast
things and some of them get casted for these fashion shows.
Some of them don't, which is exciting for us because
we see the potential in them. But the real test
is once you know, they go out in the royal
fashion world and see which designers actually book them. So
(20:48):
it's one of the best shows I've you know, I've
been involved and I love doing and I've been doing
that gosh for almost fifteen years now, so we're on
there fourteenth.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
Congratulation on that.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Congrats, that's amazing. That's a long lasting show and.
Speaker 7 (21:04):
It's one of the top shows there, and you know,
and it's like, I, you know, after I decided that,
you know, The Housewives is not something that I want
to continue doing, it's because it just wasn't worth the
stress for me, and especially.
Speaker 5 (21:17):
Now being a mom.
Speaker 7 (21:19):
Maybe if my daughter was older, maybe, but right now,
just like, it's just too much stress. I even apaid
enough stress in my life as it is with you know,
my animals, my rescue, my traveling, my work, my daughter.
Speaker 5 (21:32):
So I'm just like, why add the extra stress? I
give you guys, props? I really do.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
She smacked during your time on the show.
Speaker 5 (21:43):
I was yes by Adriana.
Speaker 6 (21:45):
I was yeah, you know what, Joanna, I think being
an EmPATH and even just speaking to you shortly in
the beginning of this which I've always thought you were
beautiful inside and out in a class act. But I
think because you feel so deeply and it's not easy,
it's just I don't think that I think that it's
(22:06):
not it affects you more than other people would see.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
I'm like a stone bitch a little bit, like I'm not.
I'm an EmPATH now, Joanna, like I'm an EmPATH too.
Speaker 6 (22:16):
Like if someone's in the room and they're hurt, I
feel it in my gut and I lose sleep over
animals and children and the things that go on.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
I lose sleep.
Speaker 6 (22:26):
But when I'm in the room with mean people, I
don't care about their feelings. Like, but I think that
you probably would be affected in a way, and it's
not easy, and if you did it longer, you would
probably become callous.
Speaker 7 (22:39):
Yeah, And the thing is, you know, I think also
I was extra sensitive when it came. You know, obviously,
I remember the producers say that I'm unpredictable and they
love the fact that I'm predictable because if somebody pissed
me off, I definitely let them have it. And I
feel like on that show, I was I wasn't proud
of the person that came out from that show, just
(22:59):
because you know, I've never been in my life with
a group of people that were just like from every ankle,
I felt like I'm going to I'm getting attacked. And
I don't know if it was just a jealousy thing
where because I was established to a point in my
life where you know, I did the Dancing with the Stars,
I did other ABC shows. I did you know, covers
of magazine worldwide, I did you know cover of Playboy
twice celebrity. So I think coming into the show as
(23:23):
somewhat of a name, I think the girls felt even
more pressure too.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Oh absolutely, because I think a lot of girls come
into the show not established, and they want to become
established and they've used this platform.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Those are the worst things.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
But you already had a platform, you were already well known,
so within when it comes to show, you honestly could
take it or leave it because you had other projects.
Speaker 7 (23:46):
Yeah, And also I think that's why also I felt
a little bit more, you know, because I'm all about
women power.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
I get it.
Speaker 5 (23:52):
I get it. It's reality. You need drama, I get it.
Speaker 7 (23:55):
But there's a certin amount of drama that's just you know,
I just I just don't want to deal with it anymore.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
And back then it was also I was a.
Speaker 7 (24:03):
Little bit worried about my brand because my brand until
the point of Real Housewives of Miami was very angelic,
very you know, like no drama. Side from I did
have a drama situation with teraryll Owens on a show
we did for ABC. But aside from that, I didn't
really have any you know, big drama in the media.
(24:25):
So that was also something in the back of my
head about, Okay, what are my clients gonna think? What
about all these brands that I'm working?
Speaker 6 (24:31):
Yeah, sure you could lose endorsements with please so wrong
thing exactly.
Speaker 7 (24:37):
So that's why I was like, Okay, I'm you know,
I was appreciative of it.
Speaker 5 (24:41):
Do I regret it?
Speaker 7 (24:42):
Maybe there's moments I do regret it, maybe the way
I allowed myself to be, but you know, hey, more
power to people, you know, to you guys, everybody that
does it and takes advantage of it and builds a brand.
Speaker 5 (24:56):
Like you know, I'm all girl.
Speaker 6 (24:58):
You seem to be doing just fine fine, but are you.
Do you speak to anyone who you used to film with?
Speaker 3 (25:05):
You know?
Speaker 7 (25:06):
I briefly speak with like Anna Karen I even seen
or spoke to in a little bit, but she was
one of my closest friends since the show.
Speaker 5 (25:14):
And Leah Black.
Speaker 7 (25:15):
I messaged her when her husband passed away, you know,
to let her know that if she needs anything to
reach out but yeah, those those three were probably the
ones that supported me right off the bats. We kind
of had a bond, Like none of them ever disrespect
to me. Never I felt like they were my enemies.
So those are the ones I still do keep.
Speaker 6 (25:37):
Well. You kind of remember when people kick you when
you're down, the people you meet your friends on that road,
and the people who don't do that and pile on you,
you remember, like those are the people you remember at
that time.
Speaker 7 (25:50):
You appreciate that exactly, and you know it's like I
remember every anytime before I went to film, I'm like,
give me a shot, give me a shot.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
And I was always wasted on that show because.
Speaker 6 (26:01):
I always so many are like that, right.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Yeah, speaking of Leah, who I love, she just did
an interview and said Marisol put a hex on her
to get her off the show.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
Wait when did she say that? Man?
Speaker 4 (26:20):
Recently?
Speaker 3 (26:21):
Yep, she just did an interview.
Speaker 6 (26:23):
Any thoughts on that playing Marisol for doing that stuff
all the time.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
It was actually on watch it was on watching Lia
said that, yeah.
Speaker 5 (26:33):
Watch what happens. I don't. I did not watch it
and see that.
Speaker 7 (26:35):
I didn't know, But I feel like Leah always felt
like Marisol didn't like her and uh always wanted her
off the show. But I did hear from Anna that
Alexia begged the producers or begged Bravo to keep Marisol
on the show and get gave her a part of
(26:56):
her salary. That's what I heard, really, That's why, that's.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
What I heard.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
Ask there's some tea.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
I've never heard that before, never heard that before, and
I'm friends with both.
Speaker 6 (27:07):
Of them, so I don't know, you know, I think
maybe she did offer that. I don't know that they
would do that because she's a friend of so she
gets paid like as a friend up. Marisol is not
a full time housewife, even though she films full.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
Of films like one.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
But she has films like one, so she's as friend up.
She only gets that, and they wouldn't have to. I mean,
you don't get that. I don't know.
Speaker 5 (27:28):
That's what I heard.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
So I'm just anyway for the tea, No, we love.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
We love it.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
Anything else the other year for it?
Speaker 7 (27:36):
No, nothing else. I don't have any other inside to
scoop for you guys.
Speaker 5 (27:40):
Today.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Well that was good, Actually that was good.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
Well we'll ended up.
Speaker 3 (27:44):

Positive.
Speaker 7 (28:03):

to make it or we don't want to make it
like depressing and sad and for people to feel worse watching.
We want to uplift to show that caring about another
person and another and a fur baby could be a
(28:24):
positive thing. So it's not depressed it.
Speaker 6 (28:27):
I know I cry even at the happy stories when
it comes to animals, Joanna.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
