“Honestly, I did not,” the reality star said during a sit down on Sway in the Morning. “I was the first housewife in and I think that’s why people assume that.”

“I was the very first housewife and I referred Kim and Sheree and DeShawn Snow; that was season one,” she added. “I don’t have nothing on Bravo. They do their own hiring and firing, so I had no hand in that.”

She went on to leave a special message for all the haters: “I am the last original housewife standing, so that should tell you a lot!”
