According to Breen, Rebecca’s Scientology beliefs were discussed on camera. With that in mind, she praised Rebecca for being brave enough to showcase herself and her religion.
“It’s something special, it’s her philosophy, it’s her beliefs,” Breen explained. “Look, we all have things, whatever they are — good, bad, faith, trauma, relationships — that’s what this show is about.”
“What people share and the depth they share is what they feel comfortable with at that moment in time,” Breen continued. “It’s really hard to put yourself out there and share everything. So, she’s doing it at her own pace and her own comfort level.”
Season 15 of The Real Housewives of New York premieres on Bravo October 1 at 9/8c.
