It had to be tough for Stephanie Hollman to watch the Real Housewives of Dallas episodes where she and bestie Brandi Redmond were not on good terms. It also couldn’t have been easy for Stephanie to see enemy LeeAnne Locken filling in as Brandi’s confidant while they were feuding.
Ironically enough, Stephanie actually turned to Brandi to help her get through the episodes where they were at odds and they seem to be stronger friends for it. As for Stephanie and LeeAnne, they still can’t stand each other and nothing has changed between the two of them.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Stephanie confessed, “With Brandi, I felt like there was so much I could lose. I was kind of terrified. I did not want to leave without that friendship. I did not want to do something to mess that up.”
As strange as it sounds, it does make sense that Brandi and Stephanie supported each other while the first few episodes of the season were airing. Stephanie explained, “Brandi is like my sister. I can’t have another friendship like hers. She makes me think that I’m 5 years old, and there’s not a care in the world, and that’s something that’s rare and I don’t think you can find with a lot of people.”
And then there’s LeeAnne – someone that Stephanie has the exact opposite feelings about who happened to be Brandi’s good friend during her hiatus from Stephanie. Stephanie declared, “I don’t know if we’ll ever be, probably never be, good friends.” Then again, no one expected Brandi and LeeAnne to get along, so anything is possible in Dallas.
Stephanie theorized, “She just wants to prove, for some reason, that I’m not a nice person, that I’m reactive. She’s wanting to prove something to people that’s not true. I can hold myself together. I’m not nasty to her – we don’t even talk when we’re out. If nothing else, I run away!”
In regard to LeeAnne’s “explosive behavior,” Stephanie said, “I’m not surprised anymore. It’s super predictable.” She also said, “If she was nice to me and actually took ownership of the things that she does. I would be shocked and amazed.”
