Dolores Catania and Liz McGraw have expressed their dislike for their fellow “Real Housewives of Rhode Island” cast member, Ashley Iaconetti.
During a recent event in New York, they shared their thoughts with Page Six’s “Virtual Reality” hosts, Evan Real and Danny Murphy. Catania mentioned that she had no idea who Iaconetti was until her appearance on “RHORI.”
Iaconetti has a significant reality TV background, having appeared on season 19 of “The Bachelor,” as well as on “Bachelor in Paradise” and “Bachelor Winter Games.”
McGraw referred to Iaconetti as a “confessional warrior,” suggesting that her skills in confessionals might not translate well to being present during filming. He added, “She’s very good at confessing, but it didn’t show on set. She just said it.”
Catania remarked that while filming, Iaconetti was quite “calm” and “nice,” but overall, pretty quiet. McGraw further described her as a “new soul,” suggesting that while she has her own style, it might not resonate with those who have more intense experiences.
Interestingly, McGraw noted that he never made any personal plans with Iaconetti, leaving some room for speculation about their dynamic on the show.
Both McGraw and Iaconetti are part of the first season of “RHORI.” Catania, who also stars in “Real Housewives of New Jersey,” has made multiple appearances on “RHORI” this season due to her long-standing friendship with McGraw.
“RHORI,” which premiered on Bravo on April 2nd, is the 12th addition to the “Real Housewives” franchise. Executive producer Andy Cohen previously highlighted the impressive connections within the cast, mentioning how they all know each other in the small state of Rhode Island.
In a previous conversation, Iaconetti admitted that she feels somewhat out of place, stating she “looks boring” compared to her more dramatic co-stars. She noted that filming “RHORI” has been more intense than any of her previous experiences on “The Bachelor,” underscoring the personalities in the cast.
