A lot has changed for The Real Housewives of New York City star Carole Radziwill. Last year, she was pals with Countess Luann de Lesseps, staying with her costar in the Hamptons, laughing it up. But that changed when she met Adam Kenworthy, a chef who was working for Luann at the time. Adam went on to become Carole's boyfriend and the Countess cracked, speaking out about the relationship on camera and on social media.
"I've come to the realization that not everyone is going to be best friends and Luann and I definitely don't see eye-to-eye on a lot of things…There is some resolution you'll see over the course of the season, between Luann and I," Carole told E! News. "How it starts out, it doesn't necessarily end the same way."
Last season saw Carole travel to London with Dorinda Medley to retrieve her late husband's ashes, showing viewers a raw and emotional side—putting the real in Real Housewives. Don't expect as many tears this year, Carole said, but there is no shortage of drama.
"I feel like last season, a lot of the cast was crying for some reason. There's definitely a lot more laughter and also a lot more drama. I say that because the cast this year, more than other years, really feels authentic," she teased. "We really know each other pretty well…Our interactions are much more real and authentic than they were in previous seasons. Of course when they're real, they tend to be more dramatic."
And you can also expect more Adam. The chef told E! News he filmed more with Carole this year than last year and the couple grew closer to Bethenny Frankel.
