“I think we’ve gotten a bad rep in the media and that’s skewed people’s views of us,” she told The New York Post.  Deidre filed for divorce from Anthony, 55, while she was nine months pregnant with their second child in 2017. The couple later reconciled.

“I thought, potentially I could show them what we are really like,” she added. Deidre eventually interviewed for the RHONY position over four separate Skype interviews.

“They decided not to offer me the job, but I wouldn’t have taken the job anyway once I thought about it,” she said. “I’d have no say over how it’s edited or what gets put out there . . . I didn’t want to double down on any negative press.”

RHONY just wrapped up its 11th season on July 25, 2019.
