The lead up to the jaw-dropping moment had the fans split as well, as Eady said multiple times on camera that she had a pistol after getting into it with Moore. Bailey herself was not at the dinner where those comments were made, and watching the season back now, it has provided some context for her regarding the situation.
“I was not at Angela's dinner, but I did hear about it,” she explained. “But, I definitely 1,000%, did not agree or like Brit using the word 'pistol.' That was just not something that is or ever will be appropriate for a show like this.”
Still, she explains that “people make mistakes,” and that Eady was immediately remorseful and is “so much more” than that scene. “She was definitely wrong for bringing up a gun. So I get that.”
As for Moore, Bailey reveals that while she has not spoken to Moore, she is ‘always rooting for her” and that she is “definitely missed” on the show.” She explained, “It's almost like we had this great team, and then we got to the Super Bowl and lost one of our most valuable players.” She added, “It's just unfortunate that she couldn't be here, that her and Brit couldn't get to a place where they had a chance to really actually become friends.”
Still, there is so much more to the season than just Kenya’s dramatic exit and the fallout from it, she promises, including the return of Phaedra. “She comes in hot,” Bailey teased. “Phaedra comes in hot, definitely. Phaedra was away for like 5 or 6 years, so it's exciting to see her back.”
Bailey also has plenty of other exciting ventures outside of RHOA coming, including a new reality series from Hulu, “Got to Get Out” which she stars in alongside former RHOA star Kim Zolciak-Biermann, Omarosa and more. The series gave her an opportunity to clear the air with Kim, who she rooms with on the show.
“The crazy thing about that is, we were never really friendly on Housewives,” she explained. “We got to know each other, and I really like Kim. It was really cool that we were able to be put in a place, a situation where we could actually get to know each other. So that was cool.”
While she says “never say never” when asked if she would become a full time housewife again, for now, she insists the friend role suits her. “The friend role allows me that time and flexibility to really work around my schedule,” she explained, as she has an entire acting career she is balancing as well. “I pop in, you know, for me, which is really fun and so much fun to go get everyone else's tea and not have to, you know, spill your own tea.”
“I love this about Bravo that they'll let us go from housewife to friend, friend to housewife,” she added. “It keeps you still connected to the show in whatever way, and if you don't have a storyline or if you have a storyline you're just not interested in sharing, it's still a great way to still be on the show.” She quipped, “I mean, if it's good enough for Kathy Hilton, it's definitely good enough for me!”
