Brandi Glanville,Phaedra ParksandGretchen Rossicelebrated their friendship with a girls trip to the Hamptons!
In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, the ladies dished about their trip, sharing about their fun friendship and why it works.
“Well, we’re all Scorpios,” Parks, 49, tells PEOPLE of the trio.
Glanville concurs. “Scorpios get a bad rap! But I really think that we’re all incredibly loyal and honest and that’s what draws me to Phaedra and Gretchen. I trust these girls.”
Parks, star ofMarried to Medicineand a real-life mortician says she gets emotionally drained from her line of work and needed a getaway. “To be around living people, that’s a great thing,” she joked. “Brandi and Gretchen are really alive — they’re vibrant people.”
TheReal Housewives of Atlantaalum and Rossi, 44, met over a decade ago when Bravo flew them out to Oregon for an event. “We bonded and we kept in touch. I love Slade [Smiley],” she adds of Rossi’s husband, 54, who starred onReal Housewives of Orange County,which premiered back in 2006. Rossi joined in season four.
“We just immediately connected,” Rossi echoes of Parks, who will join forces with her friends onThe Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Ex-Wives Club 2, set to premiere in 2024 on Peacock, perDeadline.
“It became a really cute little relationship,” Parks shares of her co-star. “I mean, Gretchen, much like myself, is a girly, a girly girl. She loves beautiful things. She’s very wholesome. She has really strong morals.”
As for Glanville, 50, Parks says she has a deeper understanding of her controversial pal.
“You know, everyone warned me about Brandi,” Parks says. “And so anytime people warn me about somebody that makes me super attracted to them.”

Glanville elaborated on her connection with — and admiration for — Parks. “Phaedra often says, ‘You’re saying what I’m thinking.’ She is just so together that she won’t say those things. I do sometimes wish I could be more of an observer,” she admits.
And with Gretchen, “What you see is what you get,” Glanville says. “She’s a beautiful Barbie doll. She too is incredibly smart and doesn’t get credit for that. When we first met, I found her to be sensitive and sweet and she really was just so fun.”
Orso had special gift bags made up for the ladies and made personalized fashion drawings of each woman for the tablescape. They also celebrated their friend Stephanie Ovadia, a NYC-based attorney, who got married over the weekend.

The following day, they headed off to the Montauk Beach House, where they enjoyed a selection of artisanal pizzas and craft cocktails at the hotel’s bar & grill. “It was my first time in the Hamptons!” Rossi said.
“The Hamptons were definitely not ready for this trio! And we were walking around basically naked in thunderstorms and we weren’t thinking twice about it,” Glanville said with a laugh. “And I think that’s what you get with the Housewives. We’re over the top, but at the same time we’re fun.”
Adds Glanville: “We all came out just to support each other and get together because friendships are important as we get older and a lot of girls just don’t take care of them. I think staying in touch with your friends is super, super important.”
