"If anything, it just gave us more publicity, to be honest with you," Leavitt told E News!.
Meanwhile, Neely said that they took a bit of a hit as far as reputation goes.
"It's kind of a mix, though," she said. "I threw an event for my business launch that I did on the show, and I had a couple of vendors that almost pulled out because they're like, 'Wait, are you in that swinging stuff?' So, I think reputation-wise [we] took a little bit of a hit, but income-wise I don't think it really affected us too much."
