Kelsey Swanson took aim at Dorit Kemsley‘s finances on Sunday night’s Watch What Happens Live after being called out for shading the size of Rosie DiMare‘s home on the latest episode of The Real Housewives of Rhode Island.
As she also dished on her relationship with her ex-boyfriend, rumored to be John Caprio, their split, and his other women, Kelsey shared what she knew about Brian Pontarelli‘s absence amid the cast’s polo day, and called out Dorit, of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and her foreclosure drama after being asked why she criticized Rosie’s house when she didn’t own a home herself.
“Listen, do I want to end up like Dorit?” Kelsey asked on the May 3 episode of WWHL. “And what happens when your man stops paying your mortgage, and you’re there and stuck with having to pay it? It’s not a flex to be put on a house. I really don’t care.”
Continuing on about Rosie, Kelsey said the two of them simply “don’t see eye to eye” as she poked fun at her style, saying, “I think that it’s great that she supports large companies like Shein and Temu.”
Regarding her split from her ex, Kelsey revealed that her decision came after years of “buildup.”
“I finally, at the age of 30, started thinking about what I really want in life, and I think knowing that I wanted kids and marriage and all that, I just knew I wasn’t gonna get it where I was,” she shared, adding that her current boyfriend, Bill L’Europa, was “the push.”
Looking back on their romance, Kelsey said that she did meet one of his other women.
“We became cordial at that moment. We were acknowledging each other’s existence in his life. And it was good after that. We were friendly,” she stated.
According to Kelsey, her ex “likes” RHORI, but he was upset about one thing.
“He’s mad that people are saying that he’s a sugar daddy. He’s like, ‘Do they know that I’m attractive, I’m active, I’m young?’ He does not like that name. But he’s watching it, and he does love it,” she explained.
Then asked what she missed about being “kept,” Kelsey replied, “To be honest, this isn’t paid, it’s having my laundry be done. She did everything. I miss her a lot. She lived with us. Undid the bed, redid the bed, undid the bed, the laundry, the folding of the underwear. She did everything.”
Also on the live broadcast, Kelsey weighed in on Brian’s potential meeting with his mistress amid the cast’s polo day.
“I feel like I know too much. I think he did,” she admitted. “I think she was about to act up and show up to places that she was not invited to, and I think they had to calm her down. And I hate to say anything against anything medical going on with any family members, but I’m almost positive.”
She then said that she didn’t believe Brian was cheating on his wife, Rulla Pontarelli, “as of today.”
Later, on the WWHL: After Show, Kelsey reacted to Jo-Ellen Tiberi‘s husband Gary‘s bond with her sister, Jen, and shared details about their past.
“I think just a little boob grab action went on, maybe a kiss here and there, but I don’t think anything is happening or wants to happen in the future, maybe other than his sperm, but that’s to be up for debate,” she explained.
“Jen’s the best, though. She’s just, you know, being Jen,” Kelsey added.
The Real Housewives of Rhode Island season one airs Sundays at 9/8c on Bravo.
