Beloved Star Wars Actor Calls Out Most Infamous Sequel Trilogy Line
By Chris Snellgrove
| Published
The Star Wars sequels are very different from the prequels in writing, tone, characterization, and more. But these newer movies have one thing in common with older films like The Phantom Menace: they are best enjoyed ironically. For example, The Rise of Skywalker may have failed to deliver organic storytelling or satisfying character arcs, but it did give us hilariously bad lines such as Poe Dameron’s “Somehow, Palpatine returned.” It took fans no time at all to make endless memes of this silly dialogue to make fun of how poorly thought-out the sequels are.
Recently, Josh Horowitz interviewed Oscar Isaac, and the Poe Dameron actor actually spoke about the infamous line of dialogue. In the interview, Isaac revealed that this line was added at the last minute as part of reshoots for this final film in the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy. He also gently called the line of dialogue out, revealing that he was surprised that it became his most famous line, and that when he rewatches the scene, he mostly focuses on how good his wig looks.
He’s Just A Poe Boy
In The Last Jedi, Kylo Ren surprised us all by killing Lord Snoke, the mysterious First Order leader who had been set up to be the franchise’s newest Big Bad. Instead of giving us a new villain for the sequel, J.J. Abrams brought Emperor Palpatine back for The Rise of Skywalker. This was understandably confusing for fans because we all saw him die in Return of the Jedi. His body seemingly blew up after Darth Vader threw him into a Death Star shaft. Shortly thereafter, the entire space station exploded. How the heck could anyone, even someone with the power of Emperor Palpatine, survive all that?
Well, The Rise of Skywalker didn’t bother to explain something so fundamental to Star Wars lore. Instead, the beginning and end of the explanation were given to Oscar Isaac, whose Poe Dameron character reveals to his fellow Resistance members that “somehow, Palpatine returned.” The dialogue is frustrating in its vagueness, and it arguably highlights the core problem of the Sequel Trilogy. Namely, the seeming belief among writers, producers, and directors that nothing has to make sense and that fans will show up to blindly support anything with the Star Wars name on it.
How Palpatine Got His Groove Back
In Oscar Isaac’s interview with Josh Horowitz, he was pretty blunt about the circumstances that led to this infamous line of dialogue. “Yeah, those were reshoorts … those are like surgical strikes where you come in and try to make sense of it all while they’re scrambling to get everything done. That line was a new addition, right at the end.” While Isaac didn’t directly criticize how bad the script for The Rise of Skywalker was, his words emphasize the haphazard nature of the entire film. Apparently, JJ Abrams and his team forgot to explain how Palpatine came back to life, and having Isaac’s hotshot pilot blurt out “somehow, Palpatine returned” was the best thing they could come up with.
Plus, there’s a bit of ambiguity (intentionally, I imagine) in his phrasing of reshoots as “surgical strikes.” He could simply be talking about the actors who come back for reshoots trying to understand what has changed since they were last on set. Of course, he could also be talking about how Abrams and his team used last-minute reshoots to make their botched story line somehow make sense. Either way, he’s calling out The Rise of Skywalker for being a movie so crazy that even those who spent months making it had no idea what it was really about.
Now, Disney is hoping that the upcoming film The Mandalorian & Grogu will help reignite fans’ passion for this dying franchise. Unfortunately, after a decade of executive mismanagement, most of the fandom no longer trusts the creators involved to deliver a quality product. If the film somehow blows us all away, though, fans may finally put a positive spin on Oscar Isaac’s most infamous line with their own ironic twist: “somehow, Star Wars returned.”

Brittany Mahomes just delivered a lesson in festival dressing.
Mahomes, 30, attended the annual Stagecoach music festival on Friday, April 24, making a serious style statement in a white, cap-sleeved corset and barely-there ruffled, lace shorts. She completed her ‘fit with a silver pendant necklace and belt, coordinating with her ivory cowboy boots.
For glam, Mahomes styled her signature blonde tresses in loose waves that she topped with a black cowboy hat.
Mahomes went to the concert with a group of pals, including Miranda Hogue and Mallory McDaniel, and they had prime seats for Ella Langley’s Friday performance.
Todd Rosenberg/Getty Image Brittany Mahomes showed off her figure in a tight corset. Brittany, 29, took to Instagram on Thursday, February 27, to tease her curves while enjoying a date night with husband Patrick Mahomes. For their romantic evening, Brittany wore a white corset featuring thick straps with a clear buckle, structured boning, a zip-up […]
Brittany usually makes a statement wherever she goes, including to husband Patrick Mahomes’ NFL games. Patrick, 30, is the starting quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs, where Brittany and the pair’s three children often cheer on his game with flair.
Brittany, for her part, often rocks designer gear in Chiefs colors or custom merch emblazoned with her husband’s name and jersey number.
“I think being the significant other to an NFL player is an incredibly hard role, and we take on a lot of important stuff behind the scenes that people don’t get to see,” Brittany told Sports Illustrated in February. “We also get to enjoy life and do things that we love, too.”
Brittany and Patrick have been together since high school, eventually tying the knot in 2022.
As for Patrick, he is grateful that Brittany is such a supportive partner amid his NFL career.
“I think people don’t even realize how much she does,” the quarterback said on the “Impaulsive” podcast in 2024. “I mean, taking care of the day-to-day stuff and make it where I can focus on football and focus on my craft and everything like that. [She’s] a Hall of Fame mom and a Hall of Fame wife, [which] makes it a lot easier.”
Patrick added at the time, “I mean, when you get to come home and your best friend’s there and you can just hang out, it makes you want to be there all the time and she pushes me to be great and she’s done a lot of great things herself.”
Patrick and the Chiefs are currently in their offseason until games kick off in the fall.
Earlier this month, Tom Hardy fans received the news that his hit crime series MobLand had officially completed production on a second season. Also starring the likes of Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren, this Guy Ritchie crime saga was a huge streaming hit when it debuted last year, launching as Paramount+’s biggest global hit of 2025. Its initial 2.2 million premiere viewership quickly rose to 8.8 million viewers in its first week, with the show eventually accumulating over 26 million viewers in its first season.
In a social media video released at the end of production, Hardy’s co-star Emmett J. Scanlan teased that Season 2 feels like “Season 1 on steroids,” before adding, “It was ambitious, fast-moving, but despite being fast-moving, you never felt that you were being rushed.” With plenty to be explored in the second season, one question remains on everyone’s minds: What happened to Harry? With his life in the balance, we know Hardy’s Harry is set to return, but his life is sure to be affected.
Sadly, this great news for Hardy fans is balanced by a disappointing update, as one of the actor’s more underrated movies is about to leave its streaming home. The title in question is the spy thriller meets romantic comedy, This Means War, which sees Hardy and Chris Pine warring over the affection of Reese Witherspoon. The 2012 release might have been met with poor reviews, earning just 24% on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, but it has since become somewhat of a cult classic for Hardy fans. Sadly, as of May 1, This Means War is leaving HBO Max.
How Did ‘This Means War’ Perform at the Box Office?
Against a reported production budget of $65 million, This Means War performed admirably during a near-four-month theatrical run in 2012. In total, the film returned a global haul of $157 million, split between $55 million in domestic revenue and a further $102 million from overseas markets. Frustratingly, in the U.S., This Means War never rose higher than fifth in the box office ranks, falling short of the likes of Safe House, The Vow, and Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance in its opening weekend. A synopsis reads:
“The world’s two foremost covert CIA operatives are trained assassins and master spies. They’ve saved the world on countless occasions, but these partners and best friends are about to experience the one situation way beyond their formidable skills – when they realize they’re in love with the same woman. For the now-divided duo, this means war – and they’re coming at each other with an arsenal capable of bringing down a small country.”
This Means War is leaving HBO Max. Stay tuned to Collider for more stories.

Australian comedy has always had a distinct flavor—dry, self-aware, a little bit unhinged, and completely unafraid to laugh at itself. Whether it’s skewering institutions, exposing social awkwardness, or simply leaning into the absurdity of everyday life, Aussie comedies have a way of feeling both hyper-specific and yet universally relatable. It’s emblematic of our larrikin ways. There’s a looseness to the humor—a sense that anything could happen (to which it often does).
So, while Australia has made some strides in the world of cinema—especially in recent years—it’s important to celebrate the brilliance of our comedic shows. From razor-sharp satires to chaotic character studies, this list represents the very best of what Australian television has to offer. Some became cultural landmarks, while others built their reputations more quietly, but no less deservedly. Together, they prove the strengths of the underrated giant that is the Australian comedy scene.
10
‘Rake’ (2010–2018)
Cleaver Green (Richard Roxburgh) is a brilliant barrister with a talent for taking on unusual cases—and an even greater talent for ruining his own life. Yet between courtroom battles, personal scandals, and a string of questionable decisions, Cleaver somehow manages to keep going, no matter how chaotic things may become.
Without a doubt, Roxburgh carries Rake into iconic status by delivering a performance that’s equal parts charming and infuriating. Sure, the legal cases provide structure, but it’s Cleaver’s personal life that drives the show’s energy. The writing is sharp, the humor is biting, and the tone constantly shifts between comedy and drama without ever feeling disjointed. It’s unpredictable in the best way, making it an endlessly watchable procedural.
9
‘Summer Heights High’ (2007)
Set in a fictional Australian high school, three wildly different characters—Ja’mie, Jonah, and Mr. G (all played by Chris Lilley)—navigate the chaos and drama of school life. Presented in a mockumentary style, the series captures both the students and teachers with equal parts affection and satire.
Yes, Lilley’s series hasn’t exactly aged well given its divisive style of humor, but Summer Heights High‘s impact on Australian comedy is undeniable. The jokes are bold, extremely quotable, sometimes uncomfortable, and yet very observational in a way that captures the awkwardness of adolescence and the absurdity of institutional culture. It doesn’t ever play it safe—but that’s exactly why it resonates. At its best, it feels like a time capsule of a very specific (and very real) school experience.
8
‘Deadloch’ (2023–Present)
In the quiet Tasmanian town of Deadloch, a shocking murder disrupts the community’s sense of calm, bringing together Dulcie Collins (Kate Box) and Eddie Redcliffe (Madeline Sami)—two wildly different detectives to solve the case. But as more bodies appear, the investigation grows increasingly complex, revealing dark secrets that ripple through the entire town.
While a lot is stuffed into the plot, Deadloch deserves its flowers for its ability to juggle tone without ever dropping the ball. Part noir crime thriller, part biting satire, the show uses its central mystery as a vehicle to explore gender dynamics, small-town politics, and cultural tensions. The humor is sharp, crass, and often unexpected, emerging from character clashes and observational details rather than punchlines alone. It’s a show that can make you laugh one moment and genuinely invest in the stakes the next—something that only becomes more prevalent in the second season.
7
‘Frontline’ (1994–1997)
Taking viewers behind the scenes of a current affairs program, Frontline exposes the inner workings of television journalism—where ratings, egos, and network pressures often take precedence over truth. Anchored by the ever-ambitious Mike Moor (Rob Sitch), the show dissects how stories are shaped before they ever reach the public.
Similar to other legacy shows, decades on, Frontline feels almost eerily relevant. Its satire is precise and unrelenting, skewering media practices with a clarity that hasn’t dulled over time. The humor is intelligent rather than loud, built on character dynamics and ethical compromises that feel all too familiar. It’s the kind of show that earns its laughs through insight, making it as thought-provoking as it is entertaining.
6
‘Utopia’ (2014–Present)
Set within the National Buildings Authority, a fictional government infrastructure agency, Utopia follows the team’s daily operations as they’re tasked with delivering large-scale projects—despite endless bureaucratic obstacles, shifting political priorities, and an overwhelming number of meetings that achieve very little.
The genius of Utopia purely lies in its accuracy. Just like other great workplace-sitcoms, every scario feels ripped straight from real life, capturing the absurdity of workplace culture with painful precision. The humor builds through repetitions and escalation, turning minor frustrations into major comedic payoffs. It’s not flashy, but it doesn’t need to be—because anyone who’s ever worked in an office will recognise exactly what it’s doing, and probably laugh a little too hard in response.
5
‘Class of ’07’ (2023)
When a catastrophic tidal wave wipes out most of civilization, a group of former all-girls high school classmates find themselves stranded at their 10-year reunion—now forced to survive together on the one piece of land left above water. Hoping to somehow make contact with the outside world (or at least what remains), they’re left to fend for themselves, building a new society while confronting the ghosts of who they used to be.
Of all modern Aussie shows, Class of ’07 proved to be a surprising standout. Not only did it twist the tropes of the survival genre, but it brilliantly weaponized social dynamics to generate genuine comedy gold. Here, the apocalypse becomes a backdrop for petty grudges, power plays, and painfully familiar social hierarchies that never really left high school. It’s chaotic, self-aware, and often absurd—and yet, a sharp emotional undercurrent lingers beneath the madness. Think of it as a messy tale of sisterhood that’s shown through the lens of a Lord of the Flies-esque reality. How it wasn’t immediately renewed for a second season is perplexing to say the least.
4
‘Mr Inbetween’ (2018–2021)
Ray Shoesmith (Scott Ryan) is a professional hitman trying to balance his violent line of work with the demands of everyday life, from raising his daughter, maintaining friendships, and dealing with the general annoyances of suburban living. Unfortunately for him, it’s a precarious balance that becomes harder to maintain as his two worlds begin to collide.
While Mr Inbetween often leans into darker territory, its humor is razor-sharp and deeply effective. Indeed, the comedy comes from contrast: watching Ray switch from brutal enforcer to quietly attentive father in the span of a single episode. Ryan’s understated performance gives the show its unique tone, allowing absurdity and menace to coexist seamlessly. It’s funny in a way that sneaks up on you, often leaving you laughing before you fully realize why. A truly underrated piece of the crime genre.
3
‘Fisk’ (2021–Present)
After a humiliating professional and personal implosion, high-end contract lawyer Helen Tudor-Fisk (Kitty Flanagan) leaves her life in Sydney and relocates to her home in Melbourne. Seeking a fresh start, she takes a job at a small, shabby suburban wills and probate firm, where she must navigate her eccentric clients and equally odd colleagues who don’t quite operate on her wavelength.
Like all good ensemble comedies, Fisk shines in its banter and understated qualities. Flanagan’s performance is built on micro-reactions, dry line deliveries, and a complete refusal to overplay a joke. In many ways, the humor often comes from what isn’t said, lingering in uncomfortable silences and painfully polite interactions. It’s deceptively simple, but incredibly precise—turning the mundane into something quietly hilarious. The result is a show that feels effortlessly funny, even when it operates at the smallest possible scale.
2
‘Colin From Accountants’ (2022–Present)
After a chance encounter leads to a car accident and an injured dog, two strangers—Ashley (Harriet Dyer) and Gordon (Patrick Brammall)—find themselves unexpectedly connected. What follows is a messy, often awkward exploration of modern relationships, as they attempt to navigate their growing feelings alongside their many personal flaws.
What makes Colin from Accounts so refreshing is its commitment to authenticity. The humor isn’t heightened or exaggerated. Instead, it’s rooted in awkward pauses, miscommunications, and the small, painfully real moments that define relationships. Dyer and Brammall (the show’s writer-creators and real-life husband-and-wife) bring an easy, natural chemistry that makes everything feel lived-in rather than performed. It’s romantic, yes, but never idealized, and that honesty is where the comedy truly shines.
1
‘Kath & Kim’ (2002–2007)
Set in the fictional suburbs of Fountain Lakes, Kath & Kim follows the day-to-day lives of Kath Day-Knight (Jane Turner) and her daughter Kim Craig (Gina Riley), along with their equally memorable circle of friends and family. From shopping trips to romantic misadventures, the show turns everyday life into iconic moments of hilarity.
To anyone who doesn’t know Australian culture, there’s a reason why this show remains the gold standard of the nation’s comedy landscape. For one, its humor is deeply rooted in character, language, and cultural specificity, creating something that feels both heightened and instantly recognizable. Turner and Riley are utter perfection, delivering performances that are endlessly quotable and consistently camp. It’s more than just a sitcom—it’s a cultural touchstone and one that continues to resonate because it understands exactly who it’s portraying and why it’s so funny. Nothing can touch it (even, and especially, the poorly made American remake).

Makai Lemon was prepared to be part of the Pittsburgh Steelers during the 2026 NFL Draft … until he wasn’t.
The star wide receiver went viral after the Philadelphia Eagles traded up on the draft board to snag Lemon, as he was on the phone with the Steelers.
“I was definitely shocked,” Lemon said after the Eagles snatched him away from their in-state rival. “Definitely. I couldn’t be more happy that they did. I’m super blessed.”
The Eagles traded to the No. 20 pick in the first round of the NFL Draft on Thursday, April 23, jumping ahead of the Steelers at No. 21, and used that opportunity to take the wide receiver off the board.
The viral social media video shows Lemon and his family celebrating after receiving a phone call from Steelers general manager Omar Khan. While on the phone with the Steelers, Lemon’s agent runs up to hand him another phone and tell him that the Eagles traded up to pick him.
The moment quickly became one of the more memorable moments from the first round of the draft.
Keep scrolling to read more about Lemon:
Played 3 Years At University of Southern California
After an excellent high school football career, Lemon earned a scholarship offer from the University of Southern California and elected to play his college football career with the Trojans.
He originally committed to play at Oklahoma — under head coach Lincoln Riley — but when Riley left the Sooners to join USC, Lemon followed suit.
Won the 2025 Fred Biletnikoff Award For Most Outstanding Receiver
Lemon put together a successful college football career with the Trojans, culminating in the 2025 Fred Biletnikoff Award in his final season, given to the most outstanding receiver.
He became just the second winner of the award from USC.
Received his 1st College Scholarship Offer As a Freshman in High School
Just like in college, Lemon was a standout during his high school years and received his first college scholarship offer during his freshman year.
By the end of his sophomore year of high school, he had 12 scholarship offers lined up from some of the top football programs in the nation, including Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Michigan, Oklahoma, Oregon, Penn State, Tennessee and Texas.

New York Giants legend and Pro Football Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor was hospitalized in New Jersey on Friday, April 24, after experiencing a medical emergency, according to TMZ Sports. The outlet did not have an update on his condition, but added that those close to him don’t seem to think “whatever he’s dealing with […]
Father Played Football Before Career Was Thrown Off Course Because of Injury
Lemon comes from an athletic family — his dad, Michael, was a top football recruit out of high school in California. However, a gruesome injury to his leg threw his career off its trajectory. Despite some of the bigger college football programs rescinding their interest, UNLV stayed the course and Michael played his college career in Las Vegas.
Additionally, Lemon’s uncle, Tim, was a second-round pick in the 1998 MLB Draft to the St. Louis Cardinals, and another uncle, Jerry, had a successful football career at Fresno State.
Skipped USC’s Bowl Game to Prepare for the NFL Draft
It’s common for college players to skip out on their team’s Bowl Game to prepare for the NFL Draft, and Lemon did just that after his final year at USC.
He finished his career with 2008 yards on 137 receptions and 14 touchdowns.
Darrel Sheets’ Storage Wars costars say that, like the late reality TV star, they are subjected to cyberbullying every single day.
“We’ve all had a little bit of that,” Dave Hester exclusively told Us Weekly on Friday, April 24. “We’ve been at this 16, 17 years, and so there’s always people [who] want to get on the internet and say rude things, but I don’t even pay attention to it.”
He continued, “I don’t understand cyberbullying because when people have something bad to say, I don’t even waste my time. If you wanna support me, that’s great. You don’t want to support me, that’s fine too. It doesn’t bother me.”
Us confirmed on Wednesday, April 22, that Sheets died by an apparent suicide. He was 67.
The cast of A&E’s reality series Storage Wars has come together to mourn their late costar Darrell Sheets following his death at age 67 from suicide. Lake Havasu City, Arizona, police confirmed to Us Weekly on April 22 that officers responded to calls about a “reported deceased individual” earlier in the day and subsequently “pronounced […]
A spokesperson for the Lake Havasu City Police Department told Us that authorities responded to a call in the early morning hours on Wednesday. Officers were dispatched to an Arizona residence, where they discovered the reality star’s body.
An official cause of death has not been confirmed as the incident is under active investigation.
Prior to his death, Sheets discussed his experience with depression via social media.
“Depression is the Devil’s way of attacking us,” Sheets wrote via Instagram in June 2018. “It knows no mercy, it takes our smiles it comes and goes, it ruins our relationships, it takes away our happiness, it leads to suicide in some cases, it destroys all thoughts of positivity, it is a 24/7 battle and allows no rest for the suffering.”
Sheets’ show rival, Rene Nezhoda, claimed former Storage Wars costar experienced cyberbullying before his untimely death.
“I know Darrell would want something positive out of this,” he said in a video obtained by TMZ. “He had a guy really tormenting him lately on cyberbullying. Just cause you watch us on television doesn’t mean you know us … it doesn’t mean you know what we’re about. Also it doesn’t entitle you to bully somebody.”
Nezhoda spoke exclusively to Us about Sheet’s alleged experience online, adding he has also been the subject of online bullying.
“I know some of the stuff that Darrell told me [about this], and then also what he posted, obviously,” he told Us on Friday. “Life has its ups and downs, but when you already have a lot of pressure on your back, and then you have to deal with [cyberbullying] on top of it? Every day, we have people telling us we’re fat, we’re not good enough, we’re broke. Our wives are cheating on us, like, pretty much whatever you can imagine.”
Storage Wars is planning to honor former cast member Darrell Sheets following his death by apparent suicide at the age of 67. According to TMZ, A&E will pay tribute to Sheets during this weekend’s new episode. The network has plans to honor him with an in-memoriam card during the broadcast. Leading up to a new […]
He added, “Honestly, I didn’t take it that serious, because that’s something we all deal with every day. So when we hear that, we take it with a grain of salt. But he did tell me that this person is really doing a lot of stuff, but I just didn’t take it as serious, or was as concerned, because it’s just part of it.”

Ashley Darby is going to have an intense season of “Real Housewives of Potomac,” if new reports turn out to be true.
Rumors are swirling that Darby is in the middle of a fresh feud, and no, it’s not with current cast members, but rather with a new addition that has yet to be confirmed by Bravo.
The 11th season of “RHOP” is currently underway, and, as is the case with any “Housewives” show filming, leaks about what is happening are being shared online.
In this case, it involves “RHOP” OG Ashley Darby and rumored new cast member Courtney Ajinca. Per a post from reality TV blogger Nate Williams (@natesmediaaa on X, formerly known as Twitter), the two women recently got into an explosive fight that culminated with Ajinca calling Darby a pedophile.
“POTOMAC SEASON 11 TEA. (exclusively from close source) -Word on the street is that the fierce newbie Courtney Ajinca and Ashley Darby are feuding BAD. Things allegedly got so bad, Courtney called Ashley a p*dop*hle,” the post read.
Williams then clarified that sharing the information was not intended to enable online users to cyberbully either woman.
”Let’s be clear, I do not want to send any hate to Ashley or Courtney. I’m simply relaying the news that was brought to me by someone in Potomac.”
The Rumored New Cast Member Was Previously Revealed
Shortly after Bravo confirmed the return of “RHOP” cast members: Darby, Gizelle Bryant, Karen Huger, Wendy Osefo, Stacey Rusch, and Robyn Dixon, multiple reports named Ajinca as a new addition.
According to Reality Blurb, Ajinca is the wife of an assistant coach of the Washington Wizards basketball team, with an insider telling the outlet that she does “have an actual contract.”
“Bravo will announce what her actual role is at some point in the future,” the source added.
While Bravo has not confirmed her role on the show, all signs point to Ajinca being on the show in some capacity, as she was seen filming with the cast at a Wizards game earlier this month.
Fans have since dug into Ajinca’s social media accounts and noted her alleged support for MAGA and her commentary on her fierce religious beliefs.
Darby Discussed Why She Hooked Up With Charisse Jackson-Jordan’s Younger Son
While appearing on the “What’s the Reality” podcast in February 2026, Ashley Darby explained why she hooked up with the son of former “RHOP” full-time cast member Charisse Jackson-Jordan and revealed it on the show.
“It’s been just kind of sitting on me for a while. It’s been sitting on me for two years now,” Darby said of her relationship with Jordan Jackson, who is 10 years her junior.
“You know, I wanted Charrisse back on the show. I have. I almost told her umteen times, and I was gonna take it to my grave,” she added of her desire to want Jackson-Jordan back in a full-time role.
“I was like, ‘Hey girl, this could be your chance. Get you back on the show. In the scene, I thought she was gonna like throw champagne in my face, flip the table, do a whole thing, nothing of the sort,” she said.
The Reality Star Confirmed That The Fallout Damaged Her Relationship With Jordan Jackson
Elsewhere in the “What’s The Reality” interview, Darby confirmed that she no longer speaks to Jordan Jackson. “No, we don’t speak,” she said.
The mother of two also expressed her regret about what happened.
“I mean, I do feel bad about it because if Charrisse genuinely feels the way she does, I am remorseful,” Darby added. “I don’t like the way she’s going about it, and that’s where I’m losing respect for her, but if she’s genuinely upset and I can acknowledge that I crossed a line, then we can deal with it.”
“But if you’re going to keep defaming me and saying all this stuff and talking bad about my character, then we have another problem,” she said.
‘RHOP’ Season 11 Will Bring OGs Back Together
On April 10, Bravo took to social media to announce the returning cast for “RHOP” season 11, and while it was expected that Gizelle Bryant, Ashley Darby, Wendy Osefo, and Stacey Rusch would return, the inclusion of franchise OGs Robyn Dixon and Karen Huger grabbed all the attention.
Huger was last seen during part three of the season 10 reunion, which followed her sit-down interview with Andy Cohen, in which she discussed her prison stay, sobriety, and future on the show. She will return to the show in a full-time role after being absent last season.
Meanwhile, Dixon has not appeared on “RHOP” since she was fired at the end of season 8. She was set to appear last season for a celebration of her “Reasonably Shady” podcast with Bryant, who confirmed that Dixon chose not to attend because she was not happy “with how she left the show.”
