“LeeAnne and I have a little altercation. I call it a little altercation. That was in Copenhagen. We had a disagreement,” she told Us. “And then also [Kameron Westcott] and I. We were having some problems this year as well, which is surprising. Really surprised me. Completely surprised me. So, that’s … I gotta fight with everybody this year. I guess LeeAnne passed that wand over to me.”

As for LeeAnne’s future trip down the aisle with her longtime love Rich Emberlin, D’Andra told Us she doesn’t “really know what’s happening” due to their falling out.

“I mean, once you kind of have a distance from someone, then you really kind of start losing information about their lives. You don’t have, you’re not privy to the information,” D’Andra explained. “I mean, they’ve been together for 10 years, so they I guess know each other very well. If they want to get married, they’ll get married.”

D’Andra added that she believes their nuptials were originally planned for October, but are now supposedly set for April 2019.

“So, only to be eclipsed by my 50th birthday. That’s horrible,” she joked. “Of course, my 50th birthday is so much more exciting and important next year.”

The Real Housewives of Dallas airs on Bravo Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET.
