Jenna Lyons Says ‘RHONY’ Fans Will Discover She’s ‘Nicer’ Than Most People Think

Jenna Lyons is ready to show a whole new side of herself! The “Real Housewives of New York City” star told Access Hollywood at the reality show’s premiere in NYC on Wednesday that she’s looking forward to viewers getting to know her a little bit better. “I think I’m actually nicer and warmer and more cuddly than most people think,” Jenna said. “I don’t know if somehow I got a reputation or people assume that I’m, like, icy, but I’m not. So hopefully that comes across.” Jenna went on to share that she’s watched “Real Housewives” for years and it was the first reality series she became a fan of, and reveals she got a congratulations from original “RHONY” star Jill Zarin at the event. “We’re not trying to recreate the wheel, like this is actually something totally different,” she explained of the rebooted Bravo hit. “The Real Housewives of New York City” premieres July 16 at 9/8c on Bravo and stream episodes on Peacock the next day.
