Welcome to I'll Tell You How I'm Doing, in which we get to know the husbands, boyfriends, girlfriends, hairdressers, party planners and any other supporting character on Bravo we can get to talk to us! — by digging into their lives. Last week we spoke with to Mike Hill, Cynthia's husband on the Real Housewives of Atlanta and today, we're talking to Darrin the Shaman from the Real Housewives of Dallas.
The Bravoverse is filled with spiritual advisors — tarot readers and Turkish coffee fortune tellers, Instagram psychics and horse whisperers. These people are helpful to the cast and producers because they create drama, or add a touch of the unexpected, and sometimes they even move storylines along. But also: These are real people, and the work they do on TV is also the work they do in real life. If you have a curious mind (guilty as charged, and then some!), you probably want to know more about these assorted alternative practitioners who crop up on your favorite Bravo shows.
One such practitioner — Darrin Davis, who viewers have come to know as Darrin the Shaman — has been heavily featured this season on The Real Housewives of Dallas, which airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo, as a spiritual and healing advisor to Housewife D'Andra Simmons. We caught up with Darrin and D'Andra and asked them all the burning questions that were on our mind including, yup, "What is that … thing? You stuck up D'Andra's nose?"
