Athena X Levendi has issued a public apology for her past behavior on The Real Housewives of Sydney.
The spiritual goddess took to Instagram, where she apologized for her behavior, while she deleted all her past posts and cleaned up her page.
Her post read as, “I feel I owe an apology to the viewers who experienced some form of trauma or personal offense when watching ATHENA X on RHOS.”
She continued, “Just so you know ‘it wasn’t easy playing a strong character or digesting the viewers perceived impression for my on screen reactions or “character”.
“These day’s I’m working on a New version of Myself! she added, “I’ll keep you posted, Love AthenaX”
Levendi captioned the post, “Hope you’re all doing well,” adding the hashtag, “#GETVACCINATED”
In 2019, Foxtel's executive director of television Brian Walsh officially confirmed to TV Tonight that the controversial reality show will not be returning for a second season.
“Sydney won’t happen again. Once bitten twice shy,” he said at the time.
As previously reported, the show was rejected by U.S. network Bravo for being too extreme - this was the first time a Real Housewives franchise was not immediately picked up for syndication.
If you recall, the fate of the show was in question after Bravo decided not to commission the show for being “too extreme” for American viewers, in which Foxtel's head of television Brian Walsh revealed that he was concerned about the cast, hinting changes would have been made to the housewives line up.
“A lot of the women in this show were nasty for nasty’s sake and have no redeeming features,” he said. “I particularly felt Lisa Oldfield and AthenaX Levendi were driving their own agendas.”
Brian said he would be steering changes in the second series to make sure the women were better behaved and more friendly towards each other.
“I’ve raised my concerns with the production team from this season. I felt the bad language and behavior throughout the series did go too far,” he told The Daily Telegraph.
The show consisted of seven ladies: Athena X Levendi, Krissy Marsh, Lisa Oldfield, Matty Samaei, Melissa Tkautz, Nicole O'Neal, and Victoria Rees.
While the series was not picked up by U.S. network Bravo for being "too extreme," the show found international success in New Zealand, South Africa, U.K., and in Canada (via streaming service Hayu).
