In the new season, Leslie plays a conservative, blonde mom from Texas on vacation with her longtime friends, played by Michelle Monaghan and Carrie Coon. While at the Thai resort, the trio realizes they don’t really know each other as well as they thought, which creates a lot of hilarious passive-aggressive moments.
After one episode, Leslie‘s character’s reaction went viral when she was asked if she voted for Trump.
As a huge Real Housewives fan, Leslie said that she pulled inspiration from various franchises as she curated Kate’s personality.
“I was watching the Real Housewives always before scenes,” Leslie explained. “Sometimes I’d just watch it and I just see what seeps in. That sounds crazy. And then I don’t even know what’s permeating.”
“A lot of Beverly Hills was happening, and that felt in the right world,” she added. “Maybe a little OC. Maybe there’s a little Heather Dubrow in her.”
If you missed it, Leslie also addressed partner Sam Rockwell‘s surprise cameo on The White Lotus.
