One said the Skinnygirl stunner acts “cold and only walks in when she has to tape and walks out,” while another said guests have informed producers they didn't appreciate her demeanor. Workers on the ratings-starved gabfest, sources say, have groused of her detachment from her own vehicle, noting that the beauty “isn’t around for the producing and planning of the shows.”
A separate source told the paper that audience members have given “overwhelmingly positive feedback on a daily basis,” while her publicist insists she's involved in all aspects of the show.
