Nia Booko reacted to Lala Kent saying that she hoped she would divorce Danny Booko on Wednesday’s episode of Watch What Happens Live.
As she also addressed Danny, 42, hiding his drinking from the cameras, commented on his canceled appearance on the late-night talk show, and reacted to the “blind loyalty” Kristen Doute, 43, has to her and Danny, the 36-year-old Valley cast member shaded Lala, 35, for rooting for her and Danny’s split, talked about her drama with Janet Caperna and Danny’s “likes” against her and Jason Caperna, 42, and teased the upcoming reunion.
“I didn’t like that,” Nia said of Lala’s diss on the June 24 episode of WWHL. “I don’t feel like we should encourage, be like, ‘Oh, I’m so for someone separating from their partner,’ especially when they’re kind of in the thick of it with small, little ones, like, we are working, and we love each other, and I don’t think you should be like, ‘I’m rooting for separation or divorce.’”
Still, she admitted the drag episode was “rough” to watch.
“That was rough to experience in real time, and even in that moment, I feel like it was kind of overlooked because Lala speaks so loudly, but I was sitting there like, ‘Hey, I’m gonna walk away right now. Like, I don’t have time for this.’ So I had that energy as well in the moment,” she shared.
Regarding Danny sneaking drinks, Nia said there was no sneaking a White Claw at Brittany Cartwright’s house.
“There was no sneaking. We were actually, I don’t know if it was shown or not, we were all playing beer pong. I was sitting next to him. He was drinking White Claws and other things,” she explained. “[The sneaking] was at [Zack Wickham]’s party … at Brittany’s house, we were all drinking together. We were playing beer pong together. We were having a great time.”
As for Danny’s canceled WWHL appearance, Nia confirmed he had an acting job.
“It is the reason, and I told him, I was like, ‘You should’ve posted from work, like posted a Story so people see you’re actively there,’” she revealed.
Moving on to Kristen, who, along with her fiancé, Luke Broderick, 35, and their co-star, Zack, has been accused of having “blind loyalty” to her and Danny, Nia reasoned, “We’re friends.”
“That’s friendship. I feel like you support each other and also call each other out, which we all do the same as well,” she explained.
Looking back on her drama with Janet, who doubled down on her allegations against Danny on Tuesday’s episode and claimed she wasn’t responsible for the backlash he received, Nia argued that “no one had said anything until the way that she phrased things.”
Nia then reacted to Danny “liking” negative posts about the Capernas, saying, “I can defend that, not that I necessarily agree, but I get where his head was at.”
Following the live broadcast, Nia appeared on the WWHL: After Show, where she spoke of the recently taped reunion.
“The reunion was good,” she confirmed. “I feel like [Andy Cohen] really held people’s feet to the fire, especially between me and Daniel, so everybody kind of spoke their truth, and more things were revealed that we didn’t really know about.”
“Andy really showed up and was calling us all out in a good way,” Nia added.
