If you think you know Jared Osmond, this conversation will undo everything you thought you understood. Jared opens up about what it’s really been like stepping into the Bravo universe — from unexpected casting to the emotional whiplash of watching himself become the season’s “villain.”

We talk about the love story that refuses to quit, how off-camera dynamics get twisted into on-camera narratives, and why real life — kids, careers, relationships — is way harder to navigate than any scene you’ll see on TV. Jared also shares what the public doesn’t see: the spiritual side, the conflict-averse human behind the headlines, and the toll the show has taken on the people he loves most.

It’s honest, vulnerable, funny, and at times heartbreaking. Whether you adore him, fear him, or still have whiplash from Bravocon, this chat gives you the version of Jared that the edit never will.
