Bravo is giving viewers a behind-the-scenes look into the life of controversial celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe. The Rachel Zoe Project premieres on Tuesday, September 9 at 11 p.m.

“I am very pro eating,” she says. “I am really a Jewish mother at heart. If you ask anyone in my personal life or professional life, I am almost like a food pusher. I don’t let people leave my home or my studio without either eating or a goody bag for the car. That is the family I come from. I am very in support of healthy women and healthy bodies. In fact, every woman that I work with at this point in my life is very healthy with a curvy, athletic body.”

The fashion maven hopes the new series will help change the public’s perception of her.

“I think the interesting thing to me is the shocking reaction of my haters, I like to say. They are saying, ‘Oh my God. She is this real person. She is this nice normal person.’ And I am still trying to figure out why they didn’t think that I was that. So [the series] shows who I really am. It really is a docu-series. It is as realistic as it gets on television.”
