Welcome to another episode of the Twat seat.

Today we have Ashley, and I want to so badly say from The Bachelor.

Yeah.

But no, you are now from the real housewives of Rhode Island.

It's crazy.

I mean, welcome to the Bravo family.

Thank you.

I'm going to need all the support I can get.

You'll be just fine. I'm going to try my hardest today not to make you cry. Okay. Okay. I don't even remember the last time I cried. So it's just crazy. I just cry on TV a lot. I don't know what it is about TV. I don't know. I think people just want you to be like, so describe yourself on TV. And if somebody says describe yourself,

like, what are you all about? I don't know if I get emotional over that stuff. That, there's nothing wrong with that. Yeah. It means you feel your feelings. Exactly. You feel all the feels. Yeah. I mean, and also like, you're being authentic. Oh, well, thank you. And I think that's like the number one thing you can do when you are on reality TV is to like be authentic. And you can't, unless you're an actress, you can't authentically cry. Oh, I also can't authentically. I can't keep back tears. Like if they're welling up, it's best that I let them out because it's more awkward for you to like try to keep them in and like have that big lump in your throat and try to talk through it. Yeah. So have you been a cry or your whole life? Yes. You can ask my parents. So it started day one. Okay. Yeah. Well, first of all, I just want to welcome you to the family. Thank you. And welcome you to the Twatis. Thanks. Are you nervous about the show coming out? I'm not I'm nervous, but I don't think I have much to be nervous about for this season. Um, I didn't get in any blowout fights or anything like that. Okay. Of course, there's always the, like, you said something when you were in the interview chair. And, uh, it's probably not going to go over well with whoever you said it about. Oh. I, I don't think I said anything controversial there either, really, but you know, like, well, you know. Well, you know. There are a thing called the confessional assassins. The ones that don't say anything. Oh, no. And seen to somebody, but then they get in the confessional chair and they're just full of

insults oh my gosh i don't think i'm full of insults but i probably am a bit more open in the interview

chair i don't think i have a lot to be nervous about i really don't have you it takes a lot for me

to get angry at someone okay i normally get more upset, sad, emotional,

and I very rarely feel angry or mad. Okay. So you came from The Bachelor. Yeah. I mean,

what had experienced that? The greatest experience of my life. Like it was just, you're married now.

I'm married. Yeah. We met on the show. We met on Bachelor in Paradise. And then we had kind of a bit of a saga, but I ended up being on four franchise shows. Every single one of them was a tremendously positive experience. I grew so much from it. It was a truly a Bachelor family. And I'm just, I'm so grateful for everything that came from it my children
