''The Real Housewives of Auckland''
In 2016, Kirkpatrick signed on for The Real Housewives of Auckland. One of her quotes, "Do you know what I've heard about you, not a f*****g thing", was responsible for her becoming an internet meme. Kirkpatrick and fellow cast member Angela Stone sparred throughout the series following the exposure of information about Kirkpatrick which was "bleeped" out during episode two. The revelation came amidst claims by Stone of bullying by Kirkpatrick and Blanchard.Kirkpatrick also stated in an interview, "I also had a good conversation with Kylie Washington, the producer from Australia. She came to my house and I admired her as a woman. She explained that sometimes people aren’t happy with the programme – but if you be yourself then you’ll have no regrets. Plus she said that they wanted to hang onto us for a second series. So if you’re unhappy it’s no good for us".
