When Season 2 of Real Housewives of Sydney wrapped up, fans were left wondering if Nicole O’Neil and Terry Biviano’s friendship was really over after their on-air feud in Japan.
For context, in Season 2 Episode 9 (Terry-Aki Beef) Terry’s tardiness upset Nicole and major drama and fireworks ensued, spilling into Episode 10.
During an exclusive interview with Chattr, Nicole revealed the fallout with Terry continued in the lead up to the filming of Season 3.
“Terri and I were friends for many years… I didn’t hear from Terry for 12 months after filming, not a word!” said Nicole. “If somebody wants to have such little respect for me, they’re not really a friend anyway”.
When their paths did eventually cross at an event, she reports Terry snubbed her. “I was walking [past] on Derby Day and she turned her head and that was okay. She didn’t want to be my friend anymore.”
“I don’t want to be her friend,” Nicole continued. “If you choose to deal with the situation that way, then you’ve shown me who you are and I’m not interested in a relationship”.
Nicole’s moved on from the Real Housewives drama with Terry
Nicole now says she’s put the drama with Terry behind her.
“If someone is doing something that bothers me I just step away,” she explained. “I’ll confront them but then I move on. There are too many more important people and things in my life.”
Nicole added: “I think once you hit a certain age, you realise that it’s okay that not everyone likes you and and if if you’re happy with yourself and you’ve got a great group of friends around you and your family around… it’s okay. You’re not everyone’s cup of tea and that’s the beauty of this show”.
But behind the scenes, Nicole says she far more “multi-dimensional” than what viewers get to see on The Real Housewives of Sydney.
She keeps busy with her family, work, travel and charity work for Autism Mates. She also recently launched her new wellness brand BonPatch, which she said she’s “been working extensively over the last 12 to 18 months on”.
She says there’s a lot to get excited about for RHOS Season 3
Nicole described Real Housewives of Sydney Season 3, which is currently underway, as a great season with lots to look forward to.
“I think that it’s very colourful… Some great travel… Great outfits [and] it’s very glamorous,” she revealed. “Sydney, again, is definitely the star of the show in this season.”
So far, this season the drama between Nicole and Terry has continued, with the two not yet appearing together on the show.
Nicole was notably absent from Terry’s surprise appearance on Episode 3. She was also a no-show at Terry’s healing event with Jackie Gillies (RHOM) in this week’s episode (Episode 4), which was aimed at repairing broken friendships.
But for the fans who love the drama of RHOS, fear not, as Nicole hinted they can expect to see plenty more this season.
“You put eight very strong women in a pressure cooker for a number of months and you’re bound to get explosions,” she teased.
Will Nicole and Terry kiss and make up this season? Fans will have to wait and find out!
