Ashley Iaconetti Admits Liz, Alicia, and Jo-Ellen’s Fight Scared Her Enough to Quit ‘RHORI’

Following last night’s explosive tenth episode of “The Real Housewives of Rhode Island,” Ashley Iaconetti spoke to Julia Cunningham on Radio Andy about her emotional reaction to the fight at Boston’s Capo restaurant between Liz McGraw, Alicia Carmody, and Jo-Ellen Tiberi, centered around Alicia’s claim in Episode 6 that she had experienced homelessness as a child.

Ashley explained that she and Rosie DiMare weren’t in the car with the other women where the fighting began because they had gone to see the Jonas Brothers concert at Fenway Park, so they didn’t know what they were walking into when they arrived at Capo.

“I was like, ‘Why are you being fake right now? What’s going on?’ I was so scared. The energy was so scary, and you could tell [Jo-Ellen] was trying to get off topic,” Ashley said. “Yeah, I had no idea what happened in the car. I didn’t really have a ton of context.”

Kelsey Swanson Calls Out Brian Pontarelli’s Guilty Behavior on ‘Real Housewives of Rhode Island’ Kelsey said her co-star ignored clear warning signs about her husband — and explained why the cast finally stepped in.

She added, “It was the most intense scene for me of the entire filming,” saying she called her husband, Jared Haibon, immediately after and told him she didn’t think she could continue on the show anymore.

“Truly, it seemed like it was Jo-Ellen going at Liz harder, and I know on TV it doesn’t necessarily look that way … I really felt like Liz was the one who needed some comfort in that situation, which is why, if you see, I’m in the background next to her, because … I think it was the physicality that Jo-Ellen was sending Liz’s way that was just like, ‘Whoa,'” Ashley said.

Looking ahead, Ashley told “RHORI” viewers to “let Liz speak her piece at the reunion,” hinting that Jo-Ellen compares Liz to Samara from “The Ring.”
