Beverly Hills Housewives Talk About Reality Show Marriage Curse


RadarOnline.com:
We’ll soon get a glimpse of the SoCal glitz and glamor in the new The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, but as we’ve seen in past franchises, as the drama unfolds marriages can fall apart too.

But that’s all a part of reality, the leading ladies of Beverly Hills told RadarOnline.com exclusively.

“It’s reality though isn’t it?” said restaurateur and entrepreneur Lisa VanderPump who owns Villa Blanca and Sur. “That would have possibly happened if the cameras were there or not. I mean, there are so many women in this franchise now that of course some are going to get divorced or get sick, that’s just what’s going to happen naturally.”

Former OC cast member Jeana Keough divorced her baseball star husband Matt, Catherine Ommanney of the DC series is getting a divorce, and viewers are now watching Atlanta housewife NeNe Leakes’ not-so-marital bliss.

90210 housewife Adrienne Maloof, of the Maloof Family dynasty, said her husband actually approached her to do the show and she wasn’t worried about any curse. But said the Bravo series spotlight can make any relationship challenging.

“I think it’s a little more challenging because it gives the women their own identity,” she said, “… certain people who didn’t have their own identity possibly now have a stronger identity of their own and then the husbands begin to feel like ‘hey, I’m taking a back seat here,’ and it may cause conflict that was unexpected.”
A "Real Housewives" marriage curse??? Hmmm. Let's see, there's Jeana, LuAnn, Tamra, Camille and Cat's marriages that have all ended during their entrance to the reality-TV world. But Vicki, Jill, Alex, Teresa, Caroline, Dina, Jacqueline, Lisa-Wu, Lauri, Alexis, Ramona, Lynne, Stacie, Mary, Michaele, Lisa V, Adrienne and possibly Nene's marriages have all survived. That's like 2 for every 1. Curse? Maybe.

  1. What about DeShawn Snow and Kim and Big Poppa (Yeah I know, that was not marriage!)?
