‘House Of Ho’ New Cast Members Bella & Kim Tease ‘Complicated’ Drama & More In Season 2

The Ho family is ready to bring more love, laughter and luxury in Ho’s House season 2. Bella and Kim Ho will join the on-screen family this season and have spoken with HollywoodLife EXCLUSIVE on what to expect. Bella’s father is Andy Ho, “the youngest troublemaker of all the Ho cousins.” Kim’s father is Tien Hois “one of 11 children in the Ho family family.”

Of all the members of the Ho family, Bella and Kim are the ones closest to Judy and Lesley. “Lesley is just someone who can sit with us and whenever we are down we need someone to listen to our problems and just have a drink and hang out,” Bella said. “She will shop with us. But then Judy is the woman who gives us solid advice. She has been by our side all our lives.”

Kim added, “Judy has always been with us. She’s always been the picturesque idol we just want to be ugly. We put her on a pedestal, and she was out of reach. But now that we’re older, we can spend time with her and chat together as friends rather than an idol and a fan. It’s definitely a dynamic change that we really appreciate because we’re always following Lesley and Judy and forcing them to hang out with us. And then Lesley was a new member of our family. We didn’t grow up around her, but like Bella said, she feels like she’s been by our side all our lives and just a girlfriend we can chat and hang out with. . Each offers a different kind of comfort, which we certainly appreciate. “

In the trailer, it is revealed that Bella’s mother is dubbed “Justin Bieber of Vietnam. ” Bella admits that her relationship with her mother is “complicated,” to say the least.

“My mother is finding herself again. She’s still trying to be who she wants to be and finding her purpose in life,” Bella said HollywoodLife. “She sang all the years of her life and that was her identity, right? And now that she’s done it for so long, there’s something else she wants beyond life. She has to sit there and really understand what she wants, who she is, and all the past trauma she’s been through. How does she navigate through that? But the hard part is that I’m going through that too. I have my own struggles and my own hurts that I have had to deal with. “

She continued, “I think the biggest problem is that we both have these feelings and emotions. We both care a lot about each other, but I needed to have an open conversation with my mom, and she needed that with me. How do we move on and rebuild our relationship? And let’s have a better relationship and be better people because no one is perfect. I never expected my mother to be perfect, and I hope she doesn’t expect me to be either. But I really do expect if she cares about me enough, and I care about her enough, I know we’ll get over our problems and meet in the middle. “

Bella revealed that she has always “felt that filial piety towards my mother and my father. Even though my parents were more western and allowed me more freedom, I still wanted to make them proud and do all this for them and never make sure they had to worry about me. I feel like I’m doing it alone, without ever being asked, it’s my way of repaying my mom for all the things she’s ever done for me. And I think, in her eyes, she doesn’t see it that way. She just saw that I should have done the same anyway. “

She attributed the “generational difference” to some tension between her and her mother. “She comes here, works 12 hours a day, then sings all night and does it again. I come here and have the luxury of just getting to know myself and discovering those things and never having to worry about things like that. But I still struggle, and I still feel a lot of different things just like her. My experience is not without value, and neither is hers. It’s just, how do we go from there? ” Bella noted.

Kim revealed that her family is “more traditional in the sense that their views are a little bit more conservative”. Growing up, she didn’t really get a chance to “show” herself.

“I understand the sacrifices my parents made, and I, as the older sister, did everything in my power to make sure they knew every day that their hard work was worth it.” Kim said HollywoodLife. “But in my quest to fulfill their wishes, I lost my confidence a bit. So when I was given the opportunity to go to college in California, even though it was against my parents’ wishes, it was probably the only thing in my life that I did at the time. against their wishes. So I took it upon myself and was a little selfish. As a result, I was even able to learn more about my culture. Along the way, I’ve learned more about myself and when to put my foot down and say that while I appreciate all the sacrifices and all that you’ve done for me, my mental health , my happiness, is also important. Even though you live for your family, for our Vietnamese family, we also need to live for ourselves.” Ho’s House season 2 premieres August 25 on HBO Max.
