Brynn Whitfield doesn’t see herself as a “villain” in theReal Housewivesfranchise, but rather “just fun.”
Speaking with PEOPLE atThe Real Housewives of New York City’s season 14 premiere in New York City on Thursday, Whitfield opened up about her potentially being perceived as the reality show’s antagonist and how it might be due to her jokes.
“I’m gonna hide my tail,” Whitfield, 36, jokingly said. “I wouldn’t say ‘villain,’ I think I’m just fun. Maybe a little bit. I’m fun. Like, you know, everyone don’t be so serious. Be chill.”
“I think it’s my jokes,” she added. “I’m always like, referencing movies or I loveLarry David, so I’m always just having jokes. And sometimes I think I take my jokes a little too far, but I’m working on that and talking to someone about it. I’m just joking.”
TheRHONYnewbie, a corporate communications and marketing consultant who previously said she considers herself to be a“trophy wife in training,”also explained to PEOPLE that she relates mostly toCarole Radziwillwhen it comes to past stars on the series.
“I minored in political science. I actually wanted to go into politics when I was younger. I’m actually like a massive book nerd. I flirt all the time, but I have a very nerdy side to me. And so I think [we’re] the same, like, similar intellectual, I think I’m very compatible with,” she said.
