Mason Didn't Fancy Fashion As A Kid

She also noted that she was shocked when Mason decided to take the modeling gig. When asked what convinced the teenager to change his mind, she said, "Money," before adding, "I told him I'm cutting him off. I'm like, 'You're 18 — time to work."

Brandi Will Monitor Mason's Career Keenly

Despite admitting that Mason has been a "cool cat" since signing the contract with DT Model Management and kind of knows what he is doing. However, she continues to be a hands-on mom. The mother of two shared that she is on all the emails and texts, though she let the agent know. She told the agent, "Everything that you're sending him, you need to [send me]' because I'm very protective." Brandi has experience in the modeling industry and knows it can be a little dangerous. Hence, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star will guide her son as he begins his modeling journey and ensure he avoids pitfalls.
