Real Housewife of Miami Cristy Rice steps Behind The Rope for Part I of a chat about all things The Real Housewives of Miami. Cristy checks in from, where else, gorgeous and sunny Miami, where she is originally from. Of Cuban decent, Cristy and David bond over their love for Cuba having both traveled there. They also discuss Cristy's ex-husband, NBA Superstar Glen Rice - what it was like to meet and date him as an interracial couple back in the day. Of course, we wanna hear their love story. Cristy reveals how she was in the mix for Basketball Wives prior to signing on the dotted line for The Real Housewives of Miami. With the influence of Bravo, Cristy ended up a cast member on the first season of RHOM - ahh the power of Bravo. Cristy explains her prior friendship with fellow “Basketball Wife” Larsa Pippen. Cristy also reveals and explains how the franchise originally started as a non housewives franchise. Say whaaaat? We discuss the RHOM filming process, producer involvement, and her other cast mates, Alexia Echevarria, Marysol Patton, Adriana De Moura and last, but not least, Lea Black. Cristy also fills us in on who “acted” and was the most enthralled by the cameras and why she ultimately decided to say yes to a “Housewives” Show.
