Scots Jersey housewife gets TV reality check as she quits 'nasty' show
27.02.2022 - 07:57 / dailyrecord.co.uk
Real Housewives of Jersey star Tessa Hartmann says she is quitting the "toxic" reality show after just two seasons.
The PR queen – one of the stand-outs of – said things have turned nasty and she won't be returning.
Tessa, 52, branded "a bitch" by fellow Scot and millionaire property agent Margaret Thompson, said most of the cast have sided against her.
The mum of four, who has called Margaret "irrelevant", said: "The whole series is based around me liking a tweet that said Margaret was boring.
"You get a prize if you find that tweet.
"It has never been produced on the show.
"Given what I know now, I think they made the whole thing up.
"It's a crock of s**t but that's reality TV for you.
"I've never liked a malicious tweet about another woman in my life. Why would I start now?
"I couldn't do another series with the cast the way it is at the moment as it's just too toxic and not what I'm about."
The spin-off of the US franchise was a TV hit but Tessa said Margaret and the other stars, including charity fundraiser Kate Taylor, property boss Sarha Courtnay and mum-of-three Ashley Cairney, were out to get her.
She said: "I didn't enjoy series two at all. It was too intense and nasty.
"From day one, it was definitely me and them. I was made to feel like an outcast.
"I think the women decided they had it in for me and that was it.
"They went out of their way to make me feel uncomfortable.
"Not a lot of what they said to me was shown so it looked like I was getting upset over something trivial, which wasn’t the case."
Tessa has no intention of burying the hatchet with fellow Glaswegian Margaret.
She added: "Margaret and I were never really friends.
"We were acquaintances in Jersey's business community and that was all.
"She used me for her

Derek Haas on How ‘FBI: International’ Is Breaking Boundaries, Balancing ‘Chicago Fire’ and Jesse Spencer’s Expected Return
Emily Longeretta Derek Haas is redefining the word “multi-task.” The executive producer and co-creator of “Chicago Fire” began showrunning his second show last year with the launch of “FBI: International,” the first Dick Wolf series shot entirely out of the country.During a phone interview with Variety, Haas — currently on set in Budapest — explains that he’s been on location four times since the show began production.“We travel around a lot. We’ve shot in the Swiss Alps, Paris, Prague. So we can usually send a crew for a couple of days, and we strategically write it so that maybe just a limited amount of our cast is in those locations at any one time,” the executive producer explains.
