Another Bravo TV alum is sharing her toxic experience working with Andy Cohen and the gang and it involved a lot of alcohol.
Stephanie Hollman Dropped The Deets
The former star of the Real Housewives of Dallas is opening up on her podcast about leaving the show and the manipulative environment that was encouraged behind the scenes. On her podcast “Weekly Dose of BS with co-host Trey Stewart.
Hollman shared that she and the other Dallas girls were fed one drink after the other with very little food around to forcibly create poisonous moments between the women for better viewing, of course.
Hollman was smart and would water her drinks down or spit out shots to avoid “getting s**tfaced” and embarrassing herself and her husband Travis Hollmann. She also claims she was “starving” at the events and called out a few moments that she remembered.
Stephanie Hollman Has Receipts
The mom of two was so ready for anyone coming for her about her accusations. She pointed out an incident in season 3 when the ladies took a bat cruise. She remembers the alcohol was flowing heavily but there was no food in sight.
The cast didn’t get fed “until maybe midnight, 1 AM,” she recalls, and given “a lot of alcohol,” she says that in fact, most of the filming took place when the cast was “over-served alcohol on empty stomachs.”
Hollman also claims that because of the drinking culture on set, she only remembers “bits and pieces” of her time on reality TV. Step confessed that she is done with reality TV and the chances of her coming back are non-existent.
Stephanie Hollman Would Rather…
She didn’t mince her words about what she thinks about a return to the TV screen. “I would rather drink poop than be s**t-face and starving on TV.” Yeah, that is a pretty clear answer. Even as a cast member, Hollman wanted to be her authentic self and this pissed the women off.
She laughed at poop jokes, she pranked people, she laughed loud, and refused to let people talk to her horribly.
Hollman is just the latest reality TV alum to co-sign that working for Bravo TV isn’t what they thought. She didn’t say if she joined the lawsuit, but she aired out her grievances to her co-host. Some of her complaints were similar to the ones found in the lawsuit spearheaded by Real Housewives of New York alum Bethenny Frankel.
Bravo Accused Of ‘Grotesque, Depraved Mistreatment’
The allegations come from celebs like Rachel Leviss, Frankel, Paige Desorbo and Hannah Bermann from Summer House allegedly signed on. It’s a bad look for Bravo TV for sure. The lawsuit claims stars are being mentally manipulated with alcohol, and deprived of an adequate amount of sleep and food all in hopes that they create great drama for the cameras, allegedly.
NBC has denied all the allegations against them and claimed in a statement, “NBCUniversal is committed to maintaining a safe and respectful workplace for cast and crew on our reality shows.”
