4 Moments From 'Odd Mom Out' You Won't Believe Were Taken From Real Life

Upper East Side native Jill Kargman bases her show on real-life experiences.

— -- The Bravo series "Odd Mom Out," now in its second season, is the gift that keeps on giving.

The show, an exaggerated take on the madness that is the Upper East Side of Manhattan, is brainchild of leading lady Jill Kargman.

Kargman is no stranger to her subject. The actress (also a writer and executive producer for the show) grew up in the notoriously elitist neighborhood and continues to live there with her family, making her the ideal candidate for poking some fun at it.

“When people lose perspective, I like to try to show it to them without being righteous, just more like showing the humor,” Kargman told ABC News after her appearance on Amazon’s live-stream fashion and beauty show, "Style Code Live" for its 100th episode.

Here are four moments from the show she told us were based on real life:

1. The Cemetery Shopping

“My parents in real life were like -- literally toured cemeteries as if they were colleges, and really got into it,” Kargman told ABC News. “I would call them and they would be like, ‘We can’t talk, we’re on Pinterest looking at tombstone fonts,’” Kargman added with a laugh.

Not only did the cemetery craziness make its way into the third episode of season 1, "Dying to Get In," it also inspired the title of Kargman’s upcoming book, "Sprinkle Glitter on My Grave."

2. The Brooklyn Weirdness

OK, so the kid being nursed wasn’t actually 5 years old, like he was in the "Brooklandia" episode, but he was old enough to make Kargman say, “I’m out of here.”

Despite her UES roots, the actress told ABC News she flirted with the idea of moving to Brooklyn when she first started her family because of the bang for her buck it offered at the time. But the uncomfortable encounter at an event for mothers and their children convinced her that maybe it wasn’t the best fit after all.

3. The '80s Prom-Themed Gala

Believe it or not, as you sat enjoying the season 1 finale, you were actually getting a sneak peek at Kargman’s 40th birthday party.

“I never had a prom in real life and I felt like there was a hole in my childhood. That’s like a rite of passage in America that I didn’t have,” Kargman explained to ABC News. “So we actually filmed some of the overhead shots in the season finale of last year at my real party.”

Luckily, her friend, a faculty member at Mount Sinai, cleared things up and reassured Kargman that her son did not have O.D.D.

“People who have it like take a chair and throw it at their mother,” Kargman explained. “Like I don’t have that problem, I have a kid that like, says no and stuff.”

She then concluded, “People are crazy.”

"Odd Mom Out," starring Kargman and her all-too-real Manhattan experiences, airs Mondays on Bravo.
