About this deal

Now, it's time to go back to the beginning with author Dave Quinn's new book, Not All Diamonds and Rosé: The Inside Story of The Real Housewives From the People Who Lived It. Later, Kim would use the video to claim NeNe had "roaches" and question the cleanliness of her home—remarks that NeNe deemed racist. This book was nice because, much like watching the show, the problems are SO asinine (yeah I mean you puppy-gate), it feels real warm and fuzzy considering the state of the actual world! Not All Diamonds and Rosé is the must-have book for every Housewives obsessed fan and casual viewer. Frances Berwick: The network was just coming on the other side of the huge hit that had been Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, which changed everything for us.

Season two of RHOBH was dark: Taylor Armstrong slowly began opening up about the alleged abuse she faced at the hands of her husband Russell Armstrong, and shortly after she filed for divorce, he died by suicide.A decent amount of tea is spilled, nothing earth shattering, but I like the behind the scenes stories, particularly the never-before-told one about the RHONJ cast in the DR. Shari Levine (Executive Vice President of Current Production, Bravo): You have to remember: Bravo had started out as an arts channel, so we were at a place where we were really defining ourselves and moving into uncharted reality programming. He really created a picture where these lonely, bored Housewives were staring out the window as these barely legal pool boys cleaned their pools. If you wanted some gossip and a fun read, but don't need your favorite 'wives to be held accountable– you'll like this.

If you're looking for ANY RHOC wife to be held accountable for their disgusting behavior (including racism, misogyny, abuse, fat-shaming, I could go on), don't hold your breath. Brandi in particular sheds some light on the behind the scenes information that lead her to be the villain in many of the seasons and shows her in a new, more sympathetic light.Both admitted in Not All Diamonds and Rosé that their tiff had less to do with what happened at the reunion—namely, Carole accusing Andy of being "afraid" of Bethenny—and more with the aftermath. Fourteen years into The Real Housewives of Orange County, Vicki Gunvalson was moved to a "friend of" role. For the first time in the ultimate reunion, the ladies of The Real Housewives dish on the iconic moments we’ll never forget and the off-camera drama we’ve never seen before. Like Dallas, it started as Charity Wives not Real Housewives and that makes sense because all of the first season was about charity and it was friggin annoying. I was surprised at how much information Dave was able to get from the housewives themselves, and there was plenty of juicy details that will forever change how I view the shows.

Producers didn't initially understand why the ladies of RHONJ were so apprehensive of Danielle Staub—then they learned about Cop Without a Badge, the tell-all book that would play a vital role in the show's epic season 1 finale. It really rubbed me the wrong way because I really felt like I had changed her life over, what, six years?Jeana Keough (Housewife): Vicki tries to pretend she was the first Housewife, but the bottom line is, it was me. RHONY fans are well aware of what went down between Carole Radziwill and Bethenny Frankel during season 10, but as it turns out, Carole was also engaged in another battle with none other than Andy Cohen. I was unpacking the trunk of my car, and this woman in a white jumpsuit came up to me and asked, “What the fuck are you doing? i don’t remember if it was said on the show, but in the book brandi claims that kim referred to how denise was treating her as “abuse”, and no one says anything about it.

I have enjoyed some of the ladies over the years but this was just maybe too much information for a sort-of fan. how it 10000% played into the franchise’s habit of portraying queer women/sex between women as some shocking, scandalous thing really pissed me off.

The main issue seems to be that Bravo had final say-so in what was said, but I ask you – why in the hell wouldn’t they do whatever they could to protect their cash cow? She told the truth about Adrienne [Maloof], she told the truth about Lisa Vanderpump," Cullen said in the book. First off I’d like to take a moment to acknowledge that this may very well end up being my one and only nonfiction selection for Nonfiction November. While some thought the demotion was caused by Vicki accusing Kelly Dodd of doing coke during the season 13 reunion, Andy Cohen revealed that Bravo had been having conversations about pulling Vicki out for years.
