Keiarna Stewart dishes on ‘RHOP’ drama with ‘Virtual Reali-Tea’ and claps back at Chanel Ayan

    The funny thing about TV is I always think that I have like better better moments. I’m like, “Well, why didn’t you tell you when I when I ate her up like that?” And it’s like, “Oh, okay girl.” So, it’s so funny what that people pick up on [music] >> virtual reality. >> Kiana Stewart from the Real Housewives of PTOIC. It’s so good to see you and I’m so happy to know that you still have love for us because the internet was very confused with the look you gave me. >> I thought they didn’t know this was love. That was a That was a look of love. I mean, that’s what it was. face card at Bravo. >> That was I was like, “Wait a minute. This is about me.” >> I know. It was like a movie. You trying to What? No, thank you for clarifying because I was like, “Wait, like cuz everyone was like sending it to me like she does not like you.” And I was like, “Wait, no, I I promise.” Right. But I will say the way I started the question, I was like, “You know what really pissed me off?” And you’re like, “What the >> Well, it it was about Wendy cackling in your face, which I really hated >> because who does that?” >> His face. >> He called me after that episode. He’s like, “Did you see what Wendy did to K?” >> I was just ranting and raving cuz if it were me, I just know that if someone cackled in my face on purpose, I would be really annoyed. >> So nasty. So rude. >> Exactly. Exactly. [laughter] But we’ve been loving you on the season of The Real Housewives of Battoic. We were actually just mentioning right right before we started the interview that some people think you’re in your villain era. I don’t think you are. It’s delusional, right? I don’t get it. >> No, it’s very much not villain. It’s very much I’m in my honesty era. >> I think people aren’t used to that. I think when people see you so nice, so sweet, and then there’s the whole Greg era of it all. And so it’s like, let’s get off of that. Let’s talk about what’s going on with me and the ladies. And when I start chatting about that, then it’s like, oh no, don’t do that. She’s mean. It’s like, no, I’m not. I’m being honest. >> And also cuz it’s a thing where it’s everybody’s you’re just you’re just having conversations or reacting to what people are saying to you and about you. >> Someone has good eyes here. [laughter] >> Someone has good eyes cuz obviously these are reactions. These are things that maybe you missed a beat, but I didn’t. And when I address it, it’s like, okay, it’s so problematic. No, you’re not used to being called out on your and now it feels like a problem. That’s all that’s really happening here. >> Yeah. How are things with Stacy? >> Oh, today Kuz it’s it’s really um >> She’s about to give you the look again. >> No look this time. >> I [laughter] want to say it’s up and down, but it’s more just like down down with you and Stacy on this season. >> Yeah, it might be up, it might be down. It’s a little roller coaster ride with Stacy cuz it’s like the issues like they are issues. There have been a little drama between us. Like that’s obvious. There’s been a whole lot of shade. Couldn’t miss that. But I think at the end of the day, it’s like, “Okay, girl.” At this point, I think it’s giving attention because everyone’s like, “Okay, is looking for a moment.” Stacy lives for the moment, you know? So, I think people get that confused. But me and Stacy are seated. >> Okay. Well, that’s good. >> Is she feeling cuz I feel like it’s a lot of the girls in the group are kind of like, “What is Stacy up to?” Like, is she kind of in a weird place with everybody or >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I can’t speak on where she is with everyone. I only kind of speak on because the thing about it, dynamics always change in these groups. You know, some people love it, some people hate it. Um, and some people need an alliance and you’ll see that as well. But I think for the most part when it comes to Stacy, I think people are like, “What is all going on here?” You know, like yes, it’s performative and entertaining, but it’s also like we do really do want to get to know you. And that part of it is where I think people are annoyed with because it’s like like we’re getting it, but like okay, that’s funny, but who are you? M you know I think >> I do feel like it is a bit performative on Stacy’s end. >> A bit. >> Yeah, [laughter] >> she did. But she did just win uh >> perform Vanity Fair. One of the best performances of the year. What is your reaction to Vanity Fair naming her one of the best performances? >> I think it’s great. Kudos to Stacy. It was a performance. [laughter] >> It certainly was. Right. >> It was a performance. Yeah. >> Wait. And what do we make of Cuz I saw the teaser for this upcoming episode of Ptoic Housewives where I’m pretty it’s Jazelle and Wendy and actually they’re talking about Angel. Mhm. Again. >> Again, they like and again they do like to talk about Angel. And uh Wendy’s is talking about how Angel kind of flexes a lifestyle she doesn’t have. >> Oh, the audacity >> was for free this year. You know, the deflection was for and I YOU SAID ABOUT ME. IT’S MY FAVORITE PLACE. YAY. I’M HERE. [screaming] WHATEVER. LISTEN, audacity deflection. Listen, it’s it’s easy to talk. You could see it if you’re doing it, you know? So, here’s one of those things where maybe maybe it’s you, maybe it’s not me. Maybe it’s a little projection from you to me. Maybe you like for us to be in the same place because that’s where you are. >> You know, that’s kind of what it seems like. You know what I learned about the housewife gay? People love to say things about you that they’re really talking about themselves, >> but they don’t like it when people say it about them. >> Gotcha. >> And that’s the name of the game. >> Yeah. I mean, is like coming into these episodes though where she is going to be questioned, Angel’s question about her home and being a victim and all that. Is there anything as her good friend that you would like to sort of clear up from the >> Sure, let me clear it up. Listen, it was an executive rental from the beginning. She took us on the journey from finding her home. Her [snorts] husband gave her a $7 million budget. It was available. Okay. I think what the biggest problem is that Angel was probably looking to recreate Colorado instead of just saying, “Hey, I found a home here that I love.” And so, I think she’s just getting herself acclimated. So, she’s home shopping. And this wasn’t a new thing for Angel. Angel and I have been texting for maybe over a year and a half about her finding a new home. So, she’s, you know, yeah, even shared my real estate from the condo with Angel. So, this is not a new phenom for Angel to say, “Hey, I’m moving back to Maryland to entertain you ladies.” That wasn’t it. >> And also, cuz we saw a lot of scenes in Angel’s house. I’m like, “This does not look 2,000 for 50,000. IT LOOKS LIKE 50,000.” >> YEAH. >> I WAS LIKE, “THAT IS $2,000.” >> Let me be clear. You can’t even live in the ghetto of America for $2,000 right now. Let’s be clear. So, I just like girl 20ou hush. I know >> this is giving very much hush. You hush. You’re out of the >> And but I do feel like they kind of do put Angel like she’s had no time to really get to know the ladies because they just are kind of always >> I agree >> at her back. Why do you feel that they’re not clicking with her? >> You know what? I just think anytime someone new is introduced in the group and they don’t always have immediate common grounds. It does get a little bit challenging. But I don’t really know what the real issue is. I think, you know, they have a few bumps in the road cuz there are moments where we can all get along and it seems like, okay, this is going in the right direction. But, you know, it’s more to see, you know, but I think that ultimately >> Angel, they give my girl a hard time. >> Yeah. We do love that you always have her back. Kind of like Mo’Nique had your back when we talked to her because we asked her about Chanel say we were so confused that Chanel said you and Katie Janella from Orange County were the rudest. We’re like, wait, those girls are just so pretty and sweet. >> Two of our favorites. I was like, “Wait, Kiana Stewart was the rudest person at Bravo.” >> Now do the and insert eye roll cuz girl, >> I mean, yeah. What was your reaction? And what do you recall from your interactions with Chanel? >> Okay. First of all, I don’t know if she’s had any proper home training. First and foremost, when you come into a setting where people are already there, she actually so crazy that Chris is here cuz he’s contest, but we’re not going to just jump into it. But here’s the deal. Karen and I were walking together and she’s seen Karen and instead of like speaking to both people like normal people do, she grabs Karen, twirls her around, makes a little one-on-one moment, and I’m like, you know, the classy lady that I am, I’m like, maybe she just wanted to have a private chitchat with him. I’m not going to interrupt that. And then at the end of it, she’s like, oh, hi. And I’m like, okay, hi. Like, I mean, you can’t. >> Oh, so it sounds like maybe you were so nasty. You were so rude. >> And that goes back to your theory. People are accuse you of what they are. I think Mon’nique summed it up the best. Well, you want someone to kiss your ass and I don’t even know you. So, I think sometimes when people don’t do that, they confuse that with being nasty and rude. But like, girl, I never I’m not into you. I didn’t know you, >> right? She also summed it up best when she said you have like a lethal face card and that maybe >> And you know what? That’s all I took from it. [laughter] >> That I had Beyonce energy and a beautiful face. Now, >> I’m not mad at you, my love. I know that you were being so kind and so sweet about that cuz it was the truth. So, >> and what do you make of the way that moment with the my condo, my life, my things, my man, the way your forehead does not move. First of all, that is my goals. Every time I see my I please I would die cuz every time I see my injector, I’m like, I want to be frozen. I want no movement, but I still have movement. >> Okay, you come see me. Not enough units. You got to hold it. >> Yeah. And your tissues a little thicker. Some men just have naturally thicker. You got to hold them units, honey. But yes, I loved it. I needed it. We have a vacation coming up. Absolutely. >> Yeah. No face, no trace, honey. [laughter] Hold it. Hold it tight. Hold me tight. You going to tell them, “Hold me tight.” But yeah, you know, with these girls, you got to be you got to be straight [laughter] >> because honey, one thing about you, these girls will give you wrinkles if you let them. And I can’t afford it. So, thank you, Ko Beauty and Wellness. Hold me tight. And you did that. Yeah. [laughter] >> Did you expect that moment to go so viral? >> No, not at all. I mean, because that’s Let me tell you something. The funny thing about TV is I always think that I have like better better moments. I’m like, “Well, why didn’t you tell her when I when I ate her up like that?” And it’s like, “Oh, okay girl.” So, it’s so funny what that people pick up on the quirky things and I’m like, >> you probably didn’t even remember that you did that. >> I did not remember. Now, I did remember one of my other lines, but I’m not going to repeat that again. But it’s like um but I was like, okay, so that’s what you like. Okay, got it now. Noted. I got you. >> Have you seen the [laughter] remixes with like the Beyonce? >> I seen it. Listen. Oh, listen. Let me tell you something. I’m living for it. Beyonce. I hope you seen it. I love you, girl. I’m your number one fan. And you know what’s so funny that’s so gagalicious about this, y’all? So my mom always calls me Keian when I like start like my drama. She’ll be like, “Okay, Keian.” So it’s just such a gag because I’m like, “Baby, this is manifestation.” It is. >> Hey Tina, call me. Everybody listen, this is what it was before y’all knew what it was. [laughter] But I’m glad that you all know what it is now. >> Exactly. >> I don’t even need a I just kept Maybe we’ll have Beyonce at your upcoming wedding. >> Listen, >> with the ring shopping, [screaming] >> I don’t know if she has she would have time for my wedding, but if she did, I you know, I play her music and keep her there in spirit. So, yeah, but I’ll keep you posted. >> How was watching the ring shopping as a as the person who the ring is for, but you weren’t there for it. >> Uh, you know, it’s my mom made me proud. I’m always proud of her. Go big or go home. [laughter] And I’m glad that Angel was rooting for me. >> Yes, it was so sweet. >> And And how are we feeling about a marriage moment at this moment? >> Um, we’re we’re feeling that we’re in a happy place. We’re in a great place. And I’m looking forward to what’s next to come in my relationship. >> That’s for you guys. >> Wait. And when we were talking to Mo’Nique too, she kind of dropped something to us that shook us that Cookie was telling people that her and Chris Samuels are having an affair. Did you ever hear that, >> child? Well, I heard it. Listen, I don’t know about that. So, full disclaimer for me in the cookie of it all because I feel like there are questions. Yeah, >> I am in the cookie of it. [laughter] >> You’re in the cookie jar. >> I’m the cookie in the middle. So, uh, I feel like I don’t Mon’nique did disclose that when we were all seated, like for if you watched when we were all like sitting down when I was giving her what my update was and she was giving me her thing about Cookie. But I think people are like making this assumption that me and Cookie had this super deep relationship and it went so deep. Listen, I’m on the line and I’ve repeated this several times. I’m on the line trying to get Karen on the line. Cookie has access to Karen. I’m trying to get to Karen. Like it was that’s all all it really was. So to like go to like deep and with Cookie, Cookiey’s obviously in the mix. >> Yes. >> Okay. Cookie in the mix and she’s in the jar. So the people have got X Cookie and I I can’t speak on it anymore than that, you know. >> Oh, okay. But that does make sense cuz then I was I was confused. I was like, “Oh, I guess Cookie and Kay are closer than I thought, but it’s more so you’re just she was the three-way.” >> So if you missed it, um Jazelle, we go celebrate Karen’s birthday earlier in in the season, and you watch and she’s like, “Oh, this is Cookie.” Cookiey’s close friends with Karen. So Cookie is the one who was actually like being there for Karen. It’s a close friend of Karen. And so I’m like, “Okay, great. Well, I, you know, maybe Cookie can get us a little moment with Karen. So I’m keeping the connection open so that just in case like it was a possibility for Karen ever do a little call cuz she’s getting the calls from Karen at the time.” And so, you know, that was really the connection. >> Have you been able to connect with Karen since she left? Okay. How’s that been? Oh, speaking of BravoCon, so we have been in contact before BravoCon, but at BravoCon, we have we have a one-on-one private dinner, and it was like three hours of madness. It was total meeting in the ladies room. We ran it down. I I uploaded her, downloaded her, and all things in between. And it was just glad to just be in her presence, have her just give me some wisdom, shed some light on where I was at, and just tell me, “Girl, all is well.” >> And does she I mean, because of course there’s still like a lot of this season left, but does she feel like she would want to come back for another season? >> I don’t know her thoughts. Okay. I don’t know how. >> Would you want her to come back? >> I would love for her to come back. >> Yeah. >> I mean, even on this past episode, Jazelle and Wendy were like, “We need Karen. We miss Karen.” Like, where is Karen? I mean, as fans, we miss Karen, too. >> Yeah. I think I I always say this Karen, which was one of the things that I did like about Mo’Nique entering the chat was that I feel that Karen brings a certain level of balance. You know, she has a way of really bridging the relationships back together when they get a little too out of hand. And, you know, she’s a little less chaotic. So, she wants to see people like at least if we gonna get along, get along. You going have a problem, let it be a real problem. So, she does bring that to the group and I think we missed a bit of that this this season. Yeah. >> Okay. Well, I’m glad we didn’t get to miss you because you’re on our screens. You are so fun to watch game. Thank you so much for stopping by. You know, we love you. >> I love you guys. Bye.
