It's never easy being the new girl, no matter how funny Zooey Deschanel makes it seem!
OK! News: Is your favorite TV show coming back or canceled?
But when it comes to being a new Housewife, that is serious business. So before Lydia McLaughlin joined this season of The Real Housewives of Orange County on Bravo, she called a fellow Housewife for her opinion. And she told her NOT to join!
Check out the video above to find out who it was, and the advice she ultimately gave Lydia. Plus, why did Lydia still join the show when all her friends and family ALSO told her to run? We can't argue with her explanation!
OK! News: Was that really Lydia's mom we met?
