Rihanna — Grammy-winning singer, billionaire, and known reality TV enthusiast — has shared her thoughts on two people the Bravo world has been buzzing about for over a year now: Tom Sandoval and Monica Garcia. In a conversation with Mel Ottenberg for Interview Magazine, RiRi was asked whether Garcia, The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City season 4 villain, aka Reality Von Tease, should return to the series for another season. “I mean, if Tom Sandoval can come back, Monica should definitely be able to come back,” Rihanna said.
In 2023, Sandoval was the eye of a reality TV hurricane as it was revealed that he had cheated on his partner of over nine years, Ariana Madix, with Madix’s former best friend and Vanderpump Rules cast member Rachel (then Raquel) Leviss. While Sandoval returned for the latest season of Vanderpump Rules, Garcia, who was cut off by all her cast members in the season 4 finale after a social media scandal, was not asked back for season 5. Bravo fans on Twitter reacted to Rihanna’s opinion, concurring with her thoughts and begging for more from the singer.
Rihanna Gives Another Bravo Opinion
Like most Bravo fans, Rihanna dabbles in more than one series. The icon was also asked whether she thinks The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards is dating country musician Morgan Wade, a major storyline in season 13 of the show. “I mean, duh,” Rihanna said. “For once, someone else made her feel valued, made her feel like she was cute and quirky and fun and all the great things that maybe were taken for granted before.”
For several months, Richards has been denying rumors that she and Wade are in a relationship amid the deterioration of her marriage to Mauricio Umansky, though at the season 13 RHOBH reunion, she did not rule out the possibility of dating her friend in the future. In December of 2023, Richards and Rihanna met in person while both were in Aspen with their families, and the reality star shared later that the singer even gave her advice regarding her marriage and friendships
