I’ve never seen anything so egregious where I would say, ‘I can’t be your friend because of what you did to my other friend.’ That would be really bad.

As for the upcoming season, Dolores stated she wasn’t positive if the season 13 newbies, together with Danielle Cabral, Rachel Fuda, and Jennifer Fessler, can be again.
“We don’t know anything until we’re actually in front of the cameras,” she revealed.
