RHORI Beef: Liz Mcgraw Called Ashley Iaconetti a “Confessional Warrior” Who Needs to “Bring It In Both Places.”

Real Housewives of Rhode Island’s Liz McGraw is calling out castmate Ashley Iaconetti for being a “confessional warrior.”

At the Page Six Virtual Reali-Tea live event this week, Liz talked to the press about her RHORI castmates. She says Ashley I is too “soft” and “quiet” for reality TV.

McGraw is Rhode Island’s self-identified Cannabis Queen, co-owner of a major dispensary with her husband Gerry. She and Dolores Catania are best friends and are launching a menopause supplement business together. Dolores is on RHONJ and shows up multiple times on RHORI this season because of that friendship. Her own confessionals on Jersey are part of why fans love her.

Ashley is a Bachelor Nation veteran who has done Bachelor season 19, Bachelor in Paradise seasons 2 and 3, and Bachelor Winter Games. She married Jared Haibon, a Rhode Island native who has also been on The Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise. She moved to Rhode Island about five years ago and the couple now runs Audrey’s Coffee House and Lounge, whose financial troubles have been a storyline this season.

Liz and Dolores said they had no idea who Ashley was before she was cast.

To give Liz credit, she has brought the drama this season. She’s opened up about her husband Gerry being away sport fishing for weeks at a time and how that created affair rumors with their longtime family friend Dino. She’s also stormed out while fighting with Kelsey Swanson and admitted a DNA test showed she and Gerry are distant relatives.

However, I think it’s refreshing to have a new kind of Housewife like Ashley I. She’s a young mom who shows a relatively relatable life raising her children. Of RHORI, Ashley said, “Being part of this season, at least filming it, was far more dramatic than any Bachelor season I’ve ever filmed. These girls are such great reality TV personalities that, like, I’m the one that seems boring. I said in this little teaser video that we made that, like, I bring the sanity, and I know that made a lot of people be like, Oh, OK, Ashley. But, no, really.”

Do you think Ashley I is contributing enough to this season of RHORI?
