At this point Real Housewives of Dallas is essentially The LeeAnne Locken Show. It seems like everyone is either talking about LeeAnne or waiting for an excuse to bring her up again. This season got off to an interesting start when Brandi Redmond went from being attached at the hip with Stephanie Hollman during Season 1 to ignoring her for her new friend LeeAnne.
Brandi’s friendship with LeeAnne came to an end as soon as she and Stephanie made up. Brandi put the nail in the coffin of that relationship when she decided to invite Steph and Cary Deuber to a girls trip to Memphis and did not include LeeAnne. Even though LeeAnne wasn’t invited, she was definitely a hot topic of conversation.
LeeAnne discussed the last RHOD episode in her Bravo blog. LeeAnne said, “Alright, so I have to start on a disappointed note, unfortunately. It has been disheartening this week, watching Brandi Redmond completely deny that we ever had a friendship. (It’s also weird, because our friendship was on television, where God and everybody could see).” As “crazy” as LeeAnne can seem on TV, it really wasn’t a good look for Brandi to just drop LeeAnne without even telling her about it. Even the biggest LeeAnne haters had to have some sympathy for her getting thrown under the bus like that.
The “Mouth of the South” admitted, “Honestly, it’s been one of the worst and most painful parts of being on the show thus far. How could I have been such a fool? To ever genuinely care about how she was treated by her ex/best/codependent friend? How could I have let myself be vulnerable like that?”
LeeAnne continued her quest to take down the seemingly perfect Stephanie. She wrote, “In the scene that recaps last week’s episode, it’s so beyond obvious just how much Stephanie Hollman hates me. Don’t get me wrong; it’s never fun to be hated. But at this point, I just want her to simmer down some; she’s a bit too, what is it people are saying nowadays, ‘extra?’ Watching her blurt out, ‘Is LeeAnne Locken coming?’ like a 3-year-old and jumping up and down when Brandi said no – Steph, please do less. And for all the folks on Twitter, who believe I am jealous of her, please take note: I could never be jealous of someone like Steph, especially not her inability to “find her voice,” which by the way, sounds exactly like Minnie Mouse. Sorry, Minnie!” At this point it seems like Stephanie and LeeAnne will be going at it whenever they film the reunion episodes.
LeeAnne continued, “‘Why is LeeAnne not here?’ Stephanie asked Brandi, happily. That’s not surprising, though, remember? She kinda hates me. So, I wasn’t taken too aback, that is, until I heard Brandi say that our friendship is a ‘work in progress.’ Jeez. How many hits can I take?”
And then she addressed Brandi’s claim that her children are scared of her: “Oh wait, just a bit more: ‘The girls are scared of her.’ (Insert wicked laugh). What? Really? Just a few months ago we were judging a charity event together, all of us including D’Andra [Simmons], and the girls played and laughed with me. That didn’t look like fear to me, y’all.”
LeeAnne wrote, “One hilarious comparison takes place on the Tennessee trip, when Cary says, ‘I swear to God, if she is talking about us behind our backs, I’m literally gonna lose my mind,’ and then switches to me in Dallas saying, ‘Over the lips and through the gums.’ Ha! Was I supposed to be talking about them? My bad!” Would this show even be on for Season 2 if people weren’t constantly talking about LeeAnne? Is there anything else happening in this Dallas social circle? I sure hope so.
