We caught up with Real Housewives of Dallas fan favorite LeeAnne Locken this weekend and boy did she have some Texas-sized tea to spill! Her Season 2 tagline reads “I’m a true Texan. No bull, but all horns.” and truer words may never have been spoken. As fierce as a lion and looking hotter than a carny hot dog, she sat down to give us the scoop on her beef with Brandi/Stephanie/Cary, whether or not she’s engaged AND even some top secret recordings gossip!
TOR: HI!
LeeAnne: Howdy! *dogs barking* Those are my babies!
TOR: Before we get into the good stuff. Tell us – what you love about Dallas?
LeeAnne: The community. The people. You can’t find better people than Texans. When they say “hi”, they really mean it.
TOR: What is a day in the life of LeeAnne Locken like?
LeeAnne: My beagle wakes me up wanting to cuddle! Then, I head straight for Keurig in the kitchen. I sit in front of my computer and get on FB, Twitter, and dedicate about 2 hours to social media. Then I go on with my day, lunch meetings or out with friends, get my hair done, get a massage. My days are really just prepping for my nights which are always different. Events. Parties. Like last night… ย I went out with my friends Heidi, Steve and Chad. Someone said we were wearing sombreros in the car. Itโs a little blurry!
TOR: I did notice you spend a TON of time talking to fans on social media!
LeeAnne: I just feel that if someoneโs going to take the time to reach out, at the very least I owe them a response or at least a like.
TOR: Do you respond to haters?
LeeAnne: Sometimes. Today for instance. Some stupid stuff on Facebook. *eye roll*
TOR: What can we expect from you in the future business-wise?
LeeAnne: Iโve got my book, What’s Your Status?, and I’m pitching these sunglasses on my website to make sure people are โshade-readyโ on Monday nights. But, honestly, noโฆ not really. Iโm not trying to be something Iโm not by putting my name on clothes and all that. Iโm just gonna do me.
TOR: What about your inspirational blog?
LeeAnne: DโAndra gave me some advice this season. You canโt be a f***ing b**ch and 5 minutes later share an inspirational quoteโฆ so Iโm switching it up. I gotta keep it real!
TOR: Youโre big on charity but what are your thoughts on the fan feedback to tone down on all the charity from Season 1?
LeeAnne: I hope they never need charity! If youโre going to show my authentic life, youโre going to see charity in it. Thatโs what I do. I like to party with a purpose!
TOR: Brandi and Dโandra seem to have very different feelings on the so-called โcharity sceneโ – do you think Brandi is in the wrong for dissing it as pretentious or is Dโandra taking it too seriously?
LeeAnne: Brandi isnโt in the charity world. She isnโt in the social world. When I go out, nobody knows who she is. She doesnโt know what sheโs talking about. She has a tendency to form an opinion based solely on her opinion. As for DโAndra, sheโs lived a life of non-profit. When youโve raised millions of dollars like she has, if you donโt take it seriously, how are you doing it?
TOR: If Brandi showed up to an event would people remember the poo incident at Mad Hatters?!
LeeAnne: I’ll just say, people would say theyโd rather her not come in!
TOR: You mentioned that in RHOD Season 1 that Stephanieโs charity/social world would go down the toiletโฆ did your behavior from Season 1 affect yours?
LeeAnne: Oh, sure. I had a lot of people back away from me. The issue isnโt my reactions. Most people have my type of reaction, like, โIโll kill youโ, โF*** offโ. The difference is that my cast members whole goal is to make me look bad by acting scared and playing the victim.
TOR: Maybe itโs because some say you’re the fan favorite?
LeeAnne: I donโt think they want to accept that! They think if they destroy my reputation that Iโll be removed from the show. Butโฆ I donโt think anyone wants to watch a show about a bunch of girls f***ing crying.
TOR: Do you feel better about how youโre coming across this season?
LeeAnne: At moments. I get Tweets all the time that therapy isnโt working! My therapist isnโt Jesus. If you hurt me, my instinct is to bite your head off. Iโm a work in progress.
TOR: What did you think of last Mondayโs WWHL?! People are saying it was very LeeAnne-centric!
LeeAnne: Right?! I felt like I was there. I didnโt even have to fly to New York! Why didnโt they just make the word of the night LeeAnnโฆ then we all couldโve gotten s**t faced.
TOR: One of the things that came up on Watch What Happens Live was your boyfriend, Rich. Last episode you expressed concern about Rich taking a while to propose? Do you have a ring on that finger?
LeeAnne: I canโt show you right now! Talk to me on Tuesday!
TOR: Stephanie said Rich hasnโt proposed because heโs โscared and doesnโt want to dieโ – what did you think about that?
LeeAnne: I think sheโs literally dumber than nails. Itโs an idiot statement. ย People gave it to her on Twitter hard after that. (BTWย I donโt know what that thing was on her f***ing head either. Was her brain popping out?)ย Of course, Brandi started attacking me the next day.
TOR: What do you think Stephanieโs real issue is with you? –
LeeAnne: No clue. Ask me if it affects me. It doesnโt.
TOR: What about Cary? Do you think she was being authentically nice at the beginning of Season 2?
LeeAnne: HELL NO! Weโll definitely get into that later.
TOR: Do you still have a soft spot for Brandi?
LeeAnne: Well, if I did, she has dug a lot of it out right out of my skull. At this point in time, with the tremendous amount of ugly sheโs thrown at DโAndra, Kam and me, I am reserving my opinion. Iโm watching the shows too and was told completely different things while we were filming these scenes. Itโs heartbreaking. BUTโฆ I have audio records of what I was really saying. Iโm 50 not 4. Do you really want to put me on the wrong side of the fence?!
TOR: Do you think youโll get an apology from anyone?
LeeAnne: Everyone expects LeeeeeeeAaaaaannnn to own up to everything. Theyโll just say they were joking when they say something. If you smack me, itโs a joke. But if I smack you, the waterworks?!
TOR: What has been your most cringeworthy moment?
LeeAnne: Ha! This upcoming MONDAY NIGHT on Season 2 Episode 6 (9/18). Yup, it’s bad. Last season it was Cary’s cowardly way of coming downstairs and secretly recording me. *winces* If anyone including Marie would have said “LeeAnne that’s enough.” it would have stopped.
TOR: Are you going to throw something on Monday!?
LeeAnne: No! Not yet anyway!
TOR:ย Whatโs your favorite thing to throw?
LeeAnne: Something thatโll shatter! I have never pitched a fit with a pair of jeans.
TOR: What do you think makes a good Bravo housewife?
LeeAnne: When they can speak the truth the minute they think it. Apologize. Get drunk. Have FUN!
TOR: If you had to be stuck on an island with any other housewife from any season or city, who would it be?
LeeAnne: UM. Erika Jayne and the glam squad!
TOR: Who would you least like to be stuck with?
LeeAnne: Someone from my own cast.
TOR: Hottest housewife?
LeeAnne: Erika Jayne. Weโve hung out. Sheโs disgusting hot.
TOR: Funniest housewife?
LeeAnne: Dorinda. I meanโฆ when she goes off on someone. CLIP!
TOR: Scariest housewife?
LeeAnne: I guess ME. No, I dunno!
TOR: Ha! You might be in the running. But what about Daneille Staub? Can you believe sheโs coming back to RHONJ?
LeeAnne: Or TERESA GIUDICE. Would you wanna cross her? I wouldnโt.
TOR: Most fabulous housewife?
LeeAnne: Bethenny is just no bulls**t. I would love to see her interact with the Real Housewives of Dallas!
TOR: Who do you think your show could do without and why?
LeeAnne: Oh gosh. I donโt know if I can answer that. I do think we need an adult cast. Dโandra and I try to stay above it but itโs hard.
TOR: Let’s play a little word association:
LeeAnne: Oh gah!
TOR: Brandi
LeeAnne: Hurtful.
TOR: DโAndra
LeeAnne: Passionate.
TOR: Stephanie.
LeeAnne: Mean.
TOR: Tiffany.ย
LeeAnne: Love.
TOR: Cary.
LeeAnne: Question?
TOR: Marie.
LeeAnne: Who?
TOR: Kameron.
LeeAnne: Unicorn.
TOR: Thanks, hon! We can’t wait for Monday night’s episode of RHOD!
LeeAnne: Get ready and hang on tight!
