In keeping with Stassi, Bethenny gave the impression to be fully unaware of the explanations Ariana has acknowledged for persevering with to dwell along with her ex — amongst different issues.
“Bethenny, shut up,” Stassi stated. “That is one other challenge that I had. I perceive Bethenny taking this interview. What I don’t perceive is how she didn’t — when she came upon she was gonna interview [Raquel] — go and binge-watch seasons 1 by means of f*cking 10 in order that she knew all the things and do her analysis. It was lazy. It was a lazy f*cking interview. Simply listening to her speak the way in which Bethenny talked about Ariana and Sandoval residing collectively, that was a lazy interview. She didn’t do her analysis. She doesn’t perceive something.”
Stassi was significantly aggravated with the truth that Bethenny stated her interns had been paid greater than Raquel made for Pump Guidelines season 10.

Though Stassi believed Ariana had the fitting to say what she did about Raquel, together with calling her “diabolical” and “subhuman,” she agreed with Bethenny when she identified that the aim was by no means decision.
“It was actually simply to [batter Raquel], like, it was — so the entire solid simply pummeled her, pummeled her, pummeled her. That’s not proper,” Stassi stated, including that she obtained “emotional” as she imagined her 2-year-old daughter Hartford in Raquel’s place.
“I couldn’t consider, like, listening to what was stated to her again, like, affected me a lot, like, it made me emotional. And once more, it’s as a result of Bethenny stated, ‘I’ve a daughter,’” Stassi admitted. “So I [was] simply picturing a bunch of individuals saying these phrases to Hartford, and I’m like ‘No, no, no,’ like I’m simply attempting to remain again in it. Like this isn’t about Hartford.”
Whereas Stassi was essential of the solid, she admitted she “want[s] to take accountability and accountability” for her personal previous habits as a result of she “stated worse” throughout her time on the present.
