'I don't regret anything I've done or said': Christall Kay on her return to reality TV

Christall Kay says her return to the Housewives franchise since wrapping up The Real Housewives of Johannesburg has taught her a lot about herself and relationships.

When Christall first joined the show, she was friends with Beverly Steyn from The Real Housewives of Cape Town, but the recent episode showed their friendship ending. 

“I was very disappointed with how she [Beverly] treated me on the show. She wanted to look like a hero but all she looked like was a two-faced person. I left Jamaica with only two friends, LaConco and Mel. The other ladies were just not on my side,” she said.

Christall said she hoped the trip would be a girls' get-together, but instead it resulted in her being attacked on the first night of the trip.

“I have been real from day one in my journey as a Housewife. You know what? I don't regret anything that I've done or said because it is 100% coming from my heart. If it comes out a little bit offbeat or people don't understand it, it is OK because I understand it, and if you talk to me for five minutes, you will understand where I am coming from.

“I would rather speak my truth than dance to someone else’s tune.”

Christall said she joined the franchise to showcase how strong she is, regardless of how she was portrayed on the show.   

“I was shocked at how these ladies decided to climb into me, but having said that, it was an awesome experience, way better than I had imagined. I loved the trip — it was really fun and I have to say that being back in battle was awesome. I can take it and I don't cower from anyone. I am not afraid to put any of the ladies in their place.”

The reality TV star said regardless of the drama that transpired on the show, she still returned home from Jamaica with beautiful memories.

“The best part was being in the van with my lover and kissing him all the way to the boat. You know what? That was the first time I met him in real life and it was the most beautiful kiss I have ever had in my life. We didn’t notice the cameras rolling the entire time. He is 20 years younger than me and everything about that moment was magical.

“I won’t give away more about the moment — you will just have to watch and see.”
