The showtime episode of the Real Housewives of Dallas which aired Apr xi had Housewife Cary Deuber hosting a benefit at her habitation where the childish behaviour of boyfriend Housewives, Brandi Redmond as well as Stephanie Hollman, irritated the charitably minded LeeAnne Locken causing her to speak nether her breath (to me, I mightiness add) "It's a footling Plano inward here."

This declaration volition gear upward the note for the balance of the season. But at that spot was or as well as then other blow upward that y'all mightiness cause got missed... as well as this 1 took house on social media over LeeAnne's comment nearly Plano. Watch the clip below. The Plano comment happens nearly 1:00 into the scene:

Within hours of the comment airing the social channels had exploded alongside comments of back upward for Plano as well as from people who saw the humour inward LeeAnne's quip. Among those who were NOT amused were Locken's boyfriend Housewives. "LeeAnne is entitled to an view of me, however, to reference Plano is a depression blow as well as clearly disrespectful," stated Brandi Redmond on her Bravo blog. "Plano is ranked the 3rd hardest working urban heart inward America yesteryear Money Magazine, inward the move yesteryear 100 inward the USA for families to settle, as well as West Plano (where I reside) is voted publish 1 inward the DFW surface area to heighten a family. So what does Locken know nearly Plano other than that I alive there? Girl, bye! For anyone that doesn’t know, Plano is amazing as well as I honey it." Stephanie Hollman weighed inward back upward for Plano on her Bravo blog saying, “LeeAnne saying, "It’s a footling Plano inward here," is her agency of putting downwards the amazing town where Brandi lives. It’s obvious to me that LeeAnne doesn't experience similar Plano measures upward to Dallas, as well as she feels similar Brandi as well as I are beneath her. Plano is a cracking house to live. It is 1 of the move yesteryear places inward Texas to heighten a family. It also has or as well as then of the best schools inward Texas.”

Redmond sure as shooting played upward the dig when she visited Andy Cohen inward New York City to seem on Watch What Happens Live right away afterward the show's debut.
I reached out to Locken for her cause got on the controversial comment. She claims that she wasn't insulting the town of Plano, she was but taking a dig at Plano resident Brandi proverb she was "a footling plain-o" (as inward her behaviour was boorish to Locken) The actress genuinely has a long history of promoting the urban heart of Plano having anchored yesteryear shows such every bit Plano Wired (news), hosting The Plano Experience, as well as hosting Live Green In Plano for the Plano Television Network (the city's local cable channel). Shannah Hayley is the Director of Marketing as well as Community Engagement for the City of Plano. She revealed herself every bit the someone who tweeted me on behalf of the City the dark of the show. "We honey LeeAnne - every bit y'all likely know, she's worked every bit a contractor for us for a publish of years. She's never been afraid to part her view as well as has a real quick wit." Hayley has designed her ain T-shirt on behalf of the City of Plano (see above) "As y'all know, influencer marketing is a powerful thing!" quips Hayley. Her shirt comes inward a diversity of trunk styles (tanks, tees, sweatshirts). Like myself, Locken is pleased to run across that the City of Plano has sense of humour nearly the province of affairs as well as gives them ii thumbs upward for making the most of their 15 minutes of reality TV fame. I've said it earlier as well as I'll say it 1 time to a greater extent than as well as again, all press is skillful press. You exactly cause got to know how to spin it. Well played, City of Plano. Well. Played.
