Bravo released a new show, Real Girlfriends in Paris, on Monday, featuring six girlfriends from America in the capital of France.
The cast members include Anya Firestone, Emily Gorelik, Kacey Margo, Margaux Lignel, Adja Toure, and Victoria Zito. Within this group, Anya has been living in Paris for over eight years. She is a know-it-all about the city and the language and thus will be seen helping her fellow cast members in Paris.
In Episode 1, Anya was introduced as the “mother” of her group, who loves to host people. Bravo fans might not have liked her much on the show as they complained about her voice and pretentious nature.
Anya mentioned in the premiere episode that she used to give tours of historical places to tourists for 500 Euros.
Here’s what Real Girlfriends in Paris fans said about Anya on Twitter
Viewers pointed out on Twitter that they had found Anya Firestone “pretentious” and didn’t enjoy her voice. Plus, they felt that she was giving “fake Emily in Paris” vibes.
Take a look at fans’ reactions:
According to Bravo’s profile page on Real Girlfriends in Paris, Anya’s bio reads:
“Anya Firestone is an artistic, bubbly and resilient woman who loves all things French culture. She has lived in Paris on and off for the last decade, has a master’s degree in French cultural studies, and is licensed by the French government to give tours at every historical and cultural venue in Paris.”
It continued:
“As an inventive hostess, she often has gatherings and weekly Shabbat dinners in her Parisian apartment that she shares with her fiancé, Mathieu, and their precious pup, Zsa Zsa. Anya exudes her quirky personality everywhere she goes, and her affectionate presence makes her the go-to shoulder to lean on when the ladies are feeling homesick or needing advice.”
