Summary
Francesca gained notoriety after being tagged as one of the top personalities of Netflix’s inaugural season of Too Hot to Handle in 2020. She then continued her run in Netflix reality TV with stints on Love is Blind, After the Altar, and Perfect Match. After her time on TV, Francesca pivoted her career to a business owner after launching her own line of sustainable and environmentally friendly swimwear called Farago the Label. The brand offers swimsuits and bikinis that are not only cruelty free, but also 100 recyclable and biodegradable.
Francesca gives insight to Too Hot to Handle, how the show being pushed and released during COVID was extremely beneficial, what life was like prior to reality TV working in bottle service and influencing, why she uses her mom’s last name instead of her legal last name, what she would be doing if she wasn’t in reality TV, how a boring environment pushed to her create great TV by creating drama, doing career jujitsu after a bad edit on Perfect Match, how defusing comments instead of getting defensive works in her favor, and her relationships (or lack thereof) with her former castmates. Francesca also reveals when she started her swimwear company, who is involved in her company, the importance of being inclusive for every body type, what she considers when negotiating rates for reality shows, how she and Jesse handle money as a couple, her IVF journey, and what she has learned during the renovation of her home. Why has Francesca lied about her age before? Which celebrity reached out to her that was a “pinch me” moment? Does she have investors in Farago the Label? What reality shows is she interested in joining down the line? Would she ever be open to having her own reality show?
Francesca reveals all that and so much more in another episode you can’t afford to miss!
