Too Niche?

Kelsey J. Patel [https://www.instagram.com/kelseyjpatel/] joins me to finally share the true story behind her infamous Vanderpump Rules appearance as “Jax’s Reiki Master.” We get into what really happened behind the scenes, how reality TV editing twisted her words, and why the internet couldn’t let it go — even years later. Plus: how The Artist’s Way helped her reclaim her creativity, her thoughts on Jax’s recent rehab storyline, and what it’s like to go unexpectedly viral in the Bravo-verse.
