D’Andra Simmons reveals what viewers can expect in the upcoming fifth season of The Real Housewives of Dallas without LeeAnne Locken following her shocking departure from the series.
“In my opinion, it will be probably the best season we’ve ever had because the show is amazing this year,” Simmons said while chatting with Derek Zagami on RealiTea With Derek Z. “It’s not because [Locken’s] not on the show, it’s just a different group of girls, a different vibe and you will not be disappointed. I will tell you that 100 percent.”
“There’s drama, there’s storyline, there’s so much going on, more than we have ever had going on,” she added.
Simmons also addressed Locken’s time on the show, Simmons said that “she was a very big character that kind of brought things down at certain levels when she would talk about things that made other people uncomfortable.”
Locken announced her exit from the Bravo hit reality series on Tuesday, February 25.
“The last four years have been a trolley-slapping good time but after much consideration, I have made the personal decision to step away from RHOD,” she said in a statement to PEOPLE. “Getting to share my wedding with the viewers last year brought me tremendous joy, however, the season was very personally challenging for me. I am looking forward to stepping away from the cameras and spending quality time with my husband and friends, traveling, but most importantly, getting back to philanthropy, which was my main reason for joining the show.”
“Thank you to everyone who has laughed and cried with me along the way,” Locken added. “It’s been an amazing journey, and yes my pantyliner is still exhausted. There are so many exciting things on my horizon that I can’t wait to share with you.”
