Brandi Redmond Finally Confronts her Husband

Okay yall, If you haven’t figured out by now that I love to laugh and sometimes a little exaggeration goes with it. So with that, I hope your laughing with me.

How to Watch

Catch up on The Real Housewives of Dallas on Peacock or the Bravo App.

My friendship with Marie has grown. She has always been kind and loving to me. She takes the time to call just to say hi and see how my girls are doing. I know Marie is a busy woman with her business and family life so I appreciate her thoughtfulness.

“Dust the Dirt” was a joke and I laughed at myself watching. I wanted to thank Marie for having me at the party and of course wanted to address what set LeeAnne’s behavior off or dust the dirt…

I shared with Marie what I was told that I needed to respect LeeAnne, as my elder I also included my thoughts to Marie that LeeAnne is crazy. Marie expressed an emotional concern for her friend and that she agreed she needed help.

What I was shocked to see was that a text between Tiffany and Marie somehow reflected back to me. Get over yourself and quit blaming other people for your behavior. Own your mistakes and move on. I can honestly say that I am sick of this and I think everyone will agree to move on already. I have real issues going on that are sucking the life out of me. Did Marie lie? Absolutely she did and I don’t agree with that. She should have been upfront and I can assure you its not gossip when I’ve already said what I said to Leanne’s face. So that was disappointing knowing how close LeeAnne and Marie are. If Marie was trying to protect me, thank you but I’m a big girl.

I want to address a comment that came from Cary Deuber. Cary is beautiful and her body is insane but unfortunately I took offense to the freckle comment and removing them. I have a Ginger Family and I tell my girls that freckles are Angel Kisses and hope they will embrace them. They are beautiful and I hope everyone that has them believes they are Angel Kisses too. #Rockfreckles

Okay, so I know everyone is wondering about Bryan’s hygiene, it was a joke and funny. He apparently would put his toes in his mouth as a toddler. He does not do that now, I assure you but if he did that would be impressive. Also who hasn’t picked their nose, and if you need tissues for the car, they have circle boxes that fit in your cup holder and Bryan loves them. LMAO

Cooking with my girls is always a good time and I could not get that damn jar open. I had some Marinara Vodka Sauce and I openly joke with everyone and if you find it inappropriate, it’s your problem because I am who I am. My girls know me. If anyone is concerned about the alcohol in the sauce, it evaporates and cooks off once it’s cooked.

Moving on to my marriage, I don’t think anyone should judge others on their personal relationships with their spouse. We all know our hearts and know behind closed doors that we all have a story. I chose to share my story and wore my heart on my sleeve. I was a little taken back with Stephanie stating that the communication between Bryan and I is a recipe for disaster. I agree that communication is key to anything however when you are dealing with feelings emotionally and physically it’s harder to open up for some and easier just to avoid conflict. Stephanie’s comment hurt me because it seems as if she doesn’t believe in my marriage and future. Sharing personal things with your best friend warrants the truth but not negativity.

I was nervous speaking with Bryan about the bbq because I knew he didn’t want to talk about it. He just wanted to go to dinner, have some drinks and spend alone time together. I believe his thoughts were that he was spending time with me in that moment and it was ridiculous for me to go there. However, I did go there and it resulted in him feeling unappreciated for the time he was giving me. I’ll admit this date was hard and I couldn’t line up my words correctly and Bryan is a straight shooter. Bryan is incredible and I can’t thank him enough for all that he does for my family. However, he doesn’t like drama or confrontation so this just annoyed him even more. My tears set him off and my heart was aching. When he walked away it made me regret trying to talk to him. I love him so much and my heart was heavy. Bryan and I are no strangers to ups and downs and I assure you we love each other. Hope you will keep watching and I will keep making you laugh. Thank you all for your love and support. I will never stop thanking yall.

Blessings,

Brandi
