Chatting to hosts Bobby Norris and Ellen Coughlan on the showbiz programme Access All Areas, Lesa revealed her thoughts on the show being put on pause: “We were 100% expecting a season three and were caught by surprise that we were put on pause. The producers held a group meeting, and said Listen, you guys did great, but right now we have to put the show on pause. We'll let you know what's to come.”
She continued: “In my cast, people like to pretend like they know more than they do. There's always rumors and people saying, I heard this, and someone else heard this. I don't believe it unless I hear it from Bravo. Bravo pays me so unless it comes from the horse's mouth, I just take it with a pinch of salt. You know what? For me, it's actually a good thing, because now I can explore and do so many other things and I'm excited. I'm one of those housewives that already had a business prior to coming on the show, which is also why the shake up and the pause is okay, now I get to focus on that.”
Later in the interview, Lesa opened up about struggling to film the reunion episode: “It was so painful sitting across from someone and watching them lie and gaslight me. I just kept checking in and checking out. There were moments where I was like, I'm not doing this anymore.”
