Dorothy Wang has entered the chat. As the brand new face of Bling Empire’s scorching second season, the LA native is again on digicam.
The dwelling personification of Bling Empire earlier than it was created, Wang is an OG within the recreation whose posts of a #fabuluxe life on Instagram bought her observed to affix Wealthy Youngsters of Beverly Hills. Serving most important character vitality for 4 seasons between 2014 to 2016, Wang’s candour and unfiltered persona on Wealthy Youngsters received our hearts. A wanderlust at coronary heart, Wang presently writes her self-titled journey weblog.
Because the breakout star of season two, Wang spills the tea on her return to actuality TV, her dynamic with Kane, the deleted scenes you by no means bought to see within the closing reduce, why she’s not afraid to be herself and if there might be a Bling Empire spinoff in NYC.
You’re a seasoned actuality TV vet. What made you be part of Bling Empire?
Dorothy Wang: This may sound loopy, however what actually satisfied me to affix Bling Empire was that I simply stored getting feedback and listening to from folks asking me why I wasn’t on it. Ever because the present got here out, I simply stored listening to it time and again. So, after I was approached for the present, although I had my reservations about becoming a member of the present and becoming a member of this forged, it simply appeared like one thing that everybody actually wished me to do and I simply thought “why not?”
On the present, there was some drama between you and Kane. Did the meat occur in actual life earlier than Bling Empire or was it directed for the present?
I wouldn’t say there’s essentially beef with me and Kane. It’s extra a state of affairs the place there are folks that possibly you’ve had interactions with that haven’t been so pleasurable, or folks that have wished to grow to be nearer with you, that you just didn’t really feel snug getting nearer to that you just form of keep away from or maintain a distance from. That’s extra my state of affairs with Kane. As we have been filming increasingly more, he stored attempting to pursue a friendship or a relationship with me and requested to movie with me and stated that we have been buddies and that we had numerous mutual buddies and sure issues that have been not likely true. It was not directed for the present, however clearly since we have been each on the present collectively, it pressured us right into a room collectively the place sure dynamics have been made extra apparent.
Kane has been attempting to posit you because the villain, however we’ve seen the way you’ve been a superb good friend to Jaime and Christine. How do you’re feeling about your portrayal on Bling Empire?
Oh, has he? I actually was not conscious of that, however I don’t actually perceive what precisely makes me “a villain”. Does having boundaries and selecting who you wish to spend your time with make somebody a villain? I’m a really trustworthy individual, and possibly that’s a tough capsule to swallow for some folks however I’d slightly be trustworthy than faux. I do know he says that “all I do is gossip and meddle and begin drama” however I actually tried actually laborious to steer clear of him and keep out of even associating with him, however he stored arising and inserting himself. Once you movie a present like this, clearly they choose and select what they characteristic, they usually can’t showcase your complete being. There are such a lot of forged members and there’s solely a lot time they usually’re largely exhibiting probably the most “heated moments.” I do really feel that there are numerous extra subdued moments that didn’t make it to the present. What you see might be the sassiest, most heightened model of myself.
Did the confrontation with Kane have an effect on your friendship with Jaime?
The confrontation with Kane didn’t have an effect on my friendship with Jaime in any respect. Jaime shares numerous the identical views and reservations about Kane that I do. The one purpose Jaime wished to get us in the identical room collectively was as a result of Kane simply stored pestering her to re-introduce us.
On the Chinese language drugs store, we noticed that the scene was edited to make it appear to be you have been shading Anna however, you have been going there to buy your meds associated to a well being situation. If you happen to really feel snug to share, did you disclose about your well being situation whereas cameras have been rolling? And because it bought edited out, did they edit the story out themselves or did you ask manufacturing to not air it?
So, one in every of my reservations about becoming a member of the present is that in that point, and nonetheless presently, I used to be going by some mysterious well being points that numerous my Western docs couldn’t work out. So, I turned to Japanese drugs. I used to be getting numerous allergic reactions and I used to be simply not feeling like my greatest self.
One in all my massive hesitations in becoming a member of a present is that it takes a toll in your physique. I used to be going to numerous physician’s appointments, I had numerous therapies and numerous therapies and various things that I needed to do exactly to really feel higher and with a filming schedule, it may possibly usually impede that. However I used to be advised that the present would comply with my journey, so, I thought of it, and determined this is able to be an amazing alternative for me to assist different folks in the event that they have been battling the identical questions and issues.
I additionally noticed this as a approach of highlighting Japanese drugs as properly, which I consider is extraordinarily vital. Sadly, none of that journey made it onto the present as I’m watching again now. That being stated, after we have been going to the Chinese language drugs store to search for natural detoxes to assist do away with no matter was inflicting numerous irritation and numerous stress in my physique, I did begin to love these capsules that Andy, the store proprietor, advisable. I nonetheless take them to today.
You stated that the forged of Bling Empire is so completely different from Wealthy Youngsters of Beverly Hills when it comes to persona and age variations. Between the exhibits, is there some stress so that you can disguise elements of your persona to suit into the Bling Empire forged?
I by no means really feel stress to cover any a part of me. I don’t know if viewers have observed that, however I don’t actually care what surroundings I’m in or who’s round me. I simply are available in how I’m, say how I really feel, do what I do, and possibly generally go away in a whirlwind. So possibly it’d be extra snug for some folks if I did disguise elements of my persona or adjusted to who’s round me, however I’m at all times simply form of authentically and genuinely myself and I’m not likely affected by the folks round me. Sure, in fact I’ll alter and attempt to be like, well mannered, if I’m speaking to Anna or somebody who’s possibly slightly bit older, or if we’re at a flowery dinner, clearly I behave in a different way than if I’m like at a membership with my youthful buddies, however basically I don’t assume I disguise who I’m or my persona.
Are there any scenes that didn’t make it within the closing reduce of Bling Empire?
With any present, you movie much more than you could simply to have sufficient protection. So, there are undoubtedly issues that didn’t make it to the ultimate model of the present. It’s additionally their job to determine what they contemplate to be probably the most fascinating storylines and that’s what you find yourself seeing on the display screen.
Phrase on the road is that you just’re going to NYC. Will there be an NYC model of Bling Empire?
Effectively, I’ve already moved to New York. I’ve been in New York since mid-January and I’ve been loving it right here. The start was actually tough. It was form of a problem for me to transition from LA and to strike out right here alone. However I’ve a wonderful group of buddies right here and I really like my life right here and I’d love for there to be a New York model of Bling Empire so that everybody may share this expertise with me.
What made you progress to NYC?
I grew up in LA. I lived there my complete life. I simply felt like I used to be prepared for a change. I really like my life in LA, however I used to be simply able to shake issues up and meet new folks. I wished to go on completely different adventures and to problem myself.
What variations did you uncover when it comes to the chums you made in NY vs. the Bling Empire group in LA? Will any of your folks in NYC be featured in Bling Empire?
My buddies listed here are simply as fabulous as my buddies in LA, however I feel that they’re a bit youthful than the Bling Empire LA crew. They’re hipper, they’re slightly bit extra in your face. It’s simply extra New York. I undoubtedly have a wonderful group of Asians that I’m buddies with, and everyone seems to be extra uncooked and extra gritty. New York life is simply completely different. Everybody simply goes out extra, all the pieces is much less good, much less luxurious basically, however the vibe is simply a lot extra enjoyable than LA. Extra enjoyable and extra thrilling.
