Dolores Catania on Jeff Lewis Live

Transcription

Jeff Lewis: By the way, back to the whole Bravo conversation. I don't worry about you because you're extremely diplomatic and you get along with everyone. The issue is that there's people that when they, I'd say when a contract doesn't get renewed, fired, whatever, they burn the house down. They go after Bravo and then-

Dolores Catania: Oh, that's been the trend I mean, lately in the past couple-

Jeff Lewis: That's a huge mistake.

Dolores Catania: Yeah, it is.

Jeff Lewis: Now, you know, I had words with them the first year or two, and then it kind of took me like two years to realize like, "Oh wow." A little bit more gratitude. Like if it weren't for them and the platform they gave me, I wouldn't have had this and this and this. It just took me a minute. 'cause you're hurt at first.

Dolores Catania: I always said no matter how our expiration date happens, 'cause everybody has an expiration date as a housewife. It is not a forever thing. I would leave gracefully with a lot of gratitude because this has done so much for me. Did I ever belong to be on TV? I should have been a housewife from Totowa, you know, which is nothing wrong with that, but how did I get to this beautiful life? So, I was always grateful every year, like, thank you.
