Dakota Expresses Discomfort Around Reality TV Stars
Despite her love for reality TV, Dakota confessed to feeling intimidated when meeting well-known personalities from the genre. Whether encountering Bravo stars or Big Brother contestants, she revealed the nervousness she experiences in these moments.
On-air Chat About Tamra and Gretchen’s Feud
Host Andy Cohen prompted Dakota to react to Part 1 of the RHOC reunion, particularly regarding Tamra Judge’s intentions to stay calm and take accountability.
“Tamra vowed at the beginning she was going to stay calm, apologize, and take accountability. How is she doing?”
Andy Cohen asked.
In response, Dakota gave a skeptical assessment:
“Umm, I don’t … I don’t think that any of them are doing that well. I don’t think that really any of them like each other very much,
she said.
And I just think it’s, like, pretty obvious.”
When questioned about Shannon Beador’s memorable “Tamra Grudge” comment, Dakota expressed approval.
“That was good. I thought it was really good,”
she remarked.

she insisted, a viewpoint that Andy Cohen echoed in agreement.
Reaction to Gretchen Rossi’s Controversial Social Media Activity
Dakota also addressed allegations surrounding Gretchen Rossi liking social media posts with transphobic and homophobic content.
“Oh. Umm, I didn’t really know what to … I just like felt terrible for Heather [Dubrow],”

I felt like bad for everyone. It just seemed like maybe not the right time to talk about something so pertinent and serious, a little bit.”
