BravoAll throughout season six of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Yolanda Hadid has remained everyone's favorite topic of conversation.
First, questions spread among her co-stars regarding her debilitating Lyme disease diagnosis and its severity (and at times, validity). Then, the dropped bomb of her divorce from husband David Foster got tongues wagging at season's close, with many wondering whether her illness led to her separation or vice versa. Clearly, she knew that she'd be grilled on all of the above when the time came for her to sit on the sofa with the ladies and host Andy Cohen—because during tonight's first hour of the three-part reunion special, Yo came to play.
The revelations regarding her shocking split from David after four years came fast and furious, beginning with the exact date her partnership with her self-described best friend began to fall apart.
1. Yo revealed that she and David had a "falling out on November 2" of last year, which forced them both into making "conscious decisions of 'Where is this going?'" When AC tried to clarify whether the "falling out" was a fight, Yo, demurred. "Not a fight," she said. "A discussion." About what still remains a mystery.
2. Did she feel blindsided by the divorce? You better believe it. "Yeah, I didn't think that was the end of the road," Yo told Andy. "I would've hoped to wait until I got 100 percent well where I could really start dealing with all the issues we had in the marriage."
3. If she hadn't fallen ill, Yo says she believes her marriage would still be in tact. "We probably would be together, to be honest with you," she told Andy. "Yes, because we were a great team. I've lost my best friend, but you know, it's life."
4. Yo admitted that, since separating, she and David hadn't had much contact. "We, um, we're taking time," she said, flatly. "Apart?" AC asked. "Just time to settle," she replied.
5. For all the pesky fans (and her fellow Housewives) still eager to write her struggle with Lyme off as depression, Yo made it clear that she'd been there, done that and was able to easily rule that out. "You know what, I think in times in the last four years, I've felt really depressed, but more circumstantial depressed," she admitted. "But not clinical depression because I've suffered clinical depression before, in '99 because I broke my back and got into a really bad depression, so I have lived through depression. I fear depression."
6. Does she plan to ever marry again? Don't hold your breath. "No. I don't think so, no. I just need to get to the f--king finishing line," she asserted. "I need to get well I need to get on with my life. I need to be flying to Paris, sitting front row to see my girls at fashion shows and enjoy life. And that's the only—I have laser beam focus just for that."
7. Though the divorce may have blindsided her, Yo made it clear she mostly blames herself for the end of the marriage. "I got sick a couple of months before we got married and I dropped off the planet," she said. "Being chronically ill takes the life out of you, but also your caretaker. You can't underestimate how much it takes for a man to take care of somebody that's sick all the time. I'm sure that I haven't been the wife that I used to be, I wasn't the mother that I used to be. You change! David didn't change, I'm the one that change. And I guess this is the outcome of that."
