Alicia Carmody hasn’t heard from Jane’s Fonda — er, Jane Fonda — since giving a shout-out to the actress and exercise queen on The Real Housewives of Rhode Island.
“I have not, but that’s OK because she’s Jane’s Fonda, and I have R-E-S-P-E-C-T for Jane’s Fonda always!” Alicia, 41, exclusively shares in Us‘ annual Reality Stars of the Year issue.
Us named Alicia the “Most Quotable” reality TV personality thanks to her many Alicia-isms on the inaugural season of the Bravo series. While she is perhaps best known for pronouncing “crackers” with a heavy Rhode Island accent, Alicia also memorably misstated Fonda’s name during a confessional about her gym routine.
“I don’t do spin classes. I really don’t ride a bike, but I like to still do Jane’s Fonda at least once a week,” she told viewers. “I love Jane’s Fonda. I love her so much. Her workouts on YouTube, I love them so much.”
Since Alicia made her TV debut in April, fans have not stopped approaching her on the streets of Rhode Island to chat about their favorite one-liners — from “crackers” to the “pizza chips” sold at her and fiancé Billy Kitsilis‘ Cranston restaurant, Pizza Mamma.
“They have all just been a natural part of my life since before I can remember, so seeing everyone enjoy my favorite things brings me a lot of joy,” she marvels.
With production on season 2 of RHORI currently underway, Alicia is still trying to wrap her head around her newfound fame as a fan favorite.
“I will never believe it,” she tells Us. “I still don’t believe it!”
Real Housewives of Rhode Island star Alicia Carmody addressed former costar Liz McGraw‘s exit following the Bravo series inaugural season. “I fully support her in her decision,” Alicia, 41, exclusively tells Us while promoting her partnership with Ziploc. “I think that she had to do what was best for her.” Alicia adds she is hopeful […]
However, when the cameras are not rolling, Alicia still feels like a regular girl from Rhode Island whenever she is around her loved ones.
“They haven’t treated me any differently,” she explains. “Our family dynamic is still the same. They give it to be straight, and I still get in trouble. I mean, we are all living our best lives!”
Alicia noted that she is just happy to be in a class of reality TV icons.
“I love reality TV because I like to see how my favorite reality TV stars evolve and grow throughout their careers and filming their shows,” she says. “I also like to see what they are wearing, what they drive, what they use for makeup and hair products, where they like to eat and go on vacation because it gives me ideas as well.”
