As all of the Housewives tend to do, the Real Housewives of Rhode Island have done their share of fighting in their premier season.
In Episode 10, which aired May 31, the ladies traveled to see Rosie DiMare’s husband Rich perform as a Sinatra impersonator. But on the way there, an argument broke out between Liz McGraw and Alicia Carmody over Alicia’s claim that her family had been “homeless.” Then, another cast member got involved.
As a producer notes during the RHORI After Show Podcast, “Things got heated at Rich’s performance.”
The Real Housewives of Rhode Island star is speaking on her Jo-Ellen feud
According to Rosie, “I literally picked this activity so that we couldn’t talk.” So much for that idea.
When Liz and Jo-Ellen Tiberi clashed over the topic, they took their fight outside. Jo-Ellen asked Liz, “Why do you have to be so combative? I’m trying to be there for you, and you act like an assh*le a to me. I’m one of your best friends.”
On the After Show, Liz said, “She’s a weirdo. She’s yelling at me and simultaneously trying to fix my face … And then the hand on me. Get your hand off me. It feels like … it’s actually burning a hole through me.”
But Jo-Ellen claimed, “I’m just trying to be a good friend. Friends should be able to touch each other.'”
Liz continued, “I think at the time, with the other sh*t I was going through, my heart really just couldn’t handle it … I just wanted away from it. I was steaming.”
Later in the evening, when Liz went outside for a cigarette, Jo-Ellen followed her again. “[Alicia’s] dad left her. She had some f*cked-up sh*t that happened. We all have.”
That’s when Liz snapped. “I’ve got it. Agreed. I totally agree, Jo-Ellen,” she said very dramatically. “[I] said I was sorry 12 times. [Alicia] was never homeless.”
Finally, Liz told Kelsey Swanson, “I just really wanted to be like understood … I don’t need anyone’s loyalty. Just stop f*cking with me.”
The Real Housewives of Rhode Island airs Sundays at 9/8c on Bravo. It streams the next day on Peacock.
