If we had to pick our favourite thing about Real Housewives of Cheshire star Lystra Adams it would be the fact that she speaks her mind at all times, regardless of whether she's stood in front of an ITVeB camera crew or has a PR breathing down her neck. Lystra is the definition of 'no filter', which is why she will forever be a Closer icon. Long may she reign (great time to point out that she was the only Housewife wearing a crown in the recent RHOCheshire group promo shot).
Take her latest display of downright icon behaviour; looking EXPENSIVE sat in the driver's seat of her Bentley, the reality star filmed a cryptic reel of herself calling out the behaviour of certain privileged, "beautiful" people with "cold" and "evil" hearts, also calling them "jealous" and "envious" before coming up for air.
She said, "Sometimes I think, why are we, as human beings like this? I wish when you were talking to people you could actually see their heart and see their soul. Don't you wish that? Sometimes I wish when I'm talking to somebody I could see their inside because these days you can't believe people.
"They paint this picture and put on this beautiful exterior, but inside their heart is cold and evil. And sometimes the one's that have the most are the most jealous and envious. Oh my God.
She wrapped her jaw-jopping reel by saying, "I'm grateful for the one or two people who are really genuine to me. I'm grateful."
Now, by process of elimination, if Lystra admits to having just "one or two people" in her life that are really "genuine" to her, that gives us a pretty clear idea of what she's thinking re: the majority of her RHOCheshire co-stars right now. And as one of those "genuine" ones is definitely her bestie Tanya Bardsley, it's quite the forthright confession – and we're so here for it.
But Lystra didn't just save her shade for the reel, she reserved a little for the reel's caption, writing, "Clean Heart ❤️ will always win 🙏🏽 #cleanheart #fakefriends #badmind."
The only Housewife to respond to the post in any shape or form is Lystra's co-star and friend, Sheena Lynch, who commented, "🙌🏾 Trust your gut, it’s never wrong 💜."
The post was also liked by ex-Housewives Ester Dee and Ampika Pickston.
But who is Lystra referring to in her seething reel? If she is referring to a Housewife there's a decent chance a fraction of that shade is directed towards Nicole Sealey. The stars are currently not on speaking terms – in fact, virtually the only interaction they had in series 16 was when Lystra removed a chair from underneath Nicole at THAT dinner party. In recent series Lystra has also clashed with Rachel Lugo and Hanna Kinsella.
Tea and drama brewing, ladies. We love to see it.
