“So when things started getting tumultuous, it was a little surprising. But we’re all in, as Teddi [Mellencamp] would say.”
The drama between Richards and other housewives has “a lot of layers” this season — it’s “not solely about” her issues with Brandi Glanville, Stracke noted.
Denise Richards will find herself at the center of the drama this season as allegations of an extramarital affair between her and Brandi Glanville circulated in the group and the tabloids. Denise has vehemently denied the claims. A teaser was revealed at the end of the premiere episode of the current season that Denise stopped filming with the rest of the cast to avoid talking about the allegations and also seemingly issued cease and desist letters to try and shut it down.
With all the drama surrounding Denise this season, Stracke revealed she did her best to stay out of it, despite being a bit intimidated by the group.
“I think it’s intimidating to go into anyone’s group, not even if it’s for filming purposes or whatever,” she said. “It’s always intimidating to not know girls and kind of come in and try to make friends with everybody. I think everybody can relate to that.”
Luckily, she “hit it off with everybody” at first.
“I’m a little bit shy at first and so I think the others are shy, too. Everybody has their shy moments. So, that was the first weekend when we met,” she told Us Weekly. “I just think we were all just sort of like sniffing each other’s fannies just to see what was going on.”
