After the Season 10 reunion and the bonus episode, Summer House: The Aftermath, Calabrese tells Parade exclusively that she still has questions about what happened inside the friend group, especially when it comes to the fallout involving Ciara Miller, Amanda Batula and West Wilson.
The Bravo newcomer also opened up about supporting Miller at the reunion, what surprised her most about filming reality TV, why she chose to share personal details about grief and motherhood on camera and the lighter energy she wants to bring into summer.

Great question. I do have some unanswered questions. And I don't expect them to ever get answered. Or rather, be answered, and I'll just have to live with that.
There has been so much conversation about Amanda and West, the timeline and the way it affected the larger friend group. From your perspective, what was the hardest part of watching all of that unfold?
Ciara was speaking life into Amanda, and I think the most difficult part of it all was the friendship betrayal. I honestly couldn't believe it at first, and I refused to believe it.
You came into Summer House as a newer cast member, but you did not seem afraid to speak up at the reunion. Was there a moment where you knew you had to say something?
She showed up and showed out, though. I'm so proud of her. But I didn't know what it was going to be like for her, and I was showing up for my best friend. That was it.
Quite frankly, Ciara handled herself so well that I didn't even really need to be there. Ciara had it under control, but most importantly, I needed to show up for my friend.

I thought it was going to be more structured in the sense of producers stepping in constantly and feeding you things to say, and it's really not like that.
That was surprising, but also really cool.
Why Mia Calabrese shared her grief and motherhood hopes
View this post on InstagramI was just being honest and true to myself of where I was in that moment when we were filming.
I knew, even if one person resonated with my experience with grief, if one person resonated with feeling stuck in a relationship where you don't feel like you're getting everything that you want, or you and your partner aren't in the same place, or if someone could resonate who's in their 30s, wanting to have children and that being so important to them, I knew that would be worth it.
At times, the world is really big. New York City is really big, but we can feel so alone at times. Especially alone in our own thoughts, alone in our grief, alone in our desires and our relationships. I think it's important to have that representation in any way on television.
I'm going to Cannes Lions next week, which I'm very excited about.

Mia Calabrese's summer beauty and wellness must-haves
Between long weekends, late nights filming and staying camera-ready, what are the beauty and wellness essentials you always keep on hand?
Mosquitoes love me. I think it's because I have sweet blood. You need bug spray.
And I love a heating pad. I actually travel with mine.
A summer beauty trend is always SPF. You should be wearing SPF year-round, but SPF is important. And I love the glowy skin.
One that I'm not into anymore is makeup wipes. I'm really not. I love micellar waters. I like the one from Garnier. I feel like there was a moment where everyone was like, just use a makeup wipe. I don't like that. I like a micellar water.

Aloe vera spray. If you're out in the sun too long, spray this on your skin. It's important. I like it because it's in a spray bottle. You could get the one in a gel, but this feels less messy.
I love a hypochlorous face spray. It helps cleanse, calm and soothe skin and reduces the appearance of redness. I just like it because it calms my skin.
