Vicki Gunvalson and Kelly Dodd Celebrate Gretchen Rossi's Birthday Along with Lizzie Rovsek and Peggy Tanous

From Lizzie Rovsek's Twitter:

Yunno...and I can't believe that I'm saying this, but with Shannon Beador essentially 'stealing' Vicki's longtime friend Tamra from her and Vicki and Gretchen suddenly being tight off-screen, is there a better time than now to bring Gretchen Rossi back to 'RHOC'?

‘RHOC’ Cast Supports Gretchen Rossi At High-Fashion Event

RadarOnline.com:

Former Real Housewives of Orange County star Gretchen Rossi has been getting REAL close to current housewives Vicki Gunvalson and Kelly Dodd lately! This past week, the 37-year-old blonde bombshell added fuel to the fire of her possible return when she scorched the runway at a high fashion event thrown by Grayse Fashion Boutiques, who who are now carrying newly launched handbags from the Gretchen Christine Collection.

Rossi appeared more confident than ever when she strutted her stuff on the catwalk! The former RHOC star turned fashion and mobile app mogul designed a stylish collection of hot new purses that are available online, as well as in the Grayse chain of stores.

The show also displayed new pieces from the design team of Kelly and Marie Gray!

Blondes do have more fun, apparently!

Since leaving RHOC, Rossi has continued to stay in the spotlight — launching her own fashion label as well as a successful mobile application.

But in recent months, two current housewives and fellow Tamra Judge nemeses – Gunvalson, 54, and Dodd — have taken Rossi under their wing! Dodd delivered a very public jab at Judge at Rossi's event and the ladies looked hotter than ever!

As Radar reported, all three of the gorgeous ladies just happen to be arch-enemies of controversial cast member, Judge, 48!

Andy Cohen Reveals ‘Real Housewives: All Stars’ Will Happen Eventually

ETOnline.com:

“Go to sleep! Go to sleep!”

Bethenny Frankel shouted those infamous words at Kelly Bensimon on The Real Housewives of New York back in 2010 on a vacation known to fans as “Scary Island.”

Now, picture Bethenny doing that to a Housewives star from another city, say Beverly Hills’ Brandi Glanville or New Jersey’s Danielle Staub. Well, king of the Housewives, Andy Cohen, tells ET executive producer Brad Bessey it could happen.

“You know what? We will do Real Housewives: All Stars when the show is just about out of gas,” Cohen reveals. “So right now we had our second highest season of Beverly Hills, New York’s highest ratings since 2012, and Orange County, last season had it's highest rated season in 10 seasons.”

“So, we are nowhere near the point where we need to put eight of them on an island,” Cohen jokes, adding that a Below Deck-style boat adventure is a possibility, too. 

 

“We will, and I can't wait to do it,” Cohen adds. “But it's going to be at the end of the line … We'll do it at the end. It's something that we don't waste now. We want to save it for later.”

Meghan King Edmonds Reacts to Brooks Ayers' Cancer Documents Lie: "It Wasn't Easy Exposing" Him

USmagazine.com:

Is Meghan King Edmonds ready to move on? The Real Housewives of Orange County newcomer, who accused Brooks Ayers of lying about his cancer throughout the most recent season of the series, addressed his apology on Wednesday, Nov. 11, in which he confessed to fabricating cancer treatment documents from City of Hope hospital.

"Now it's time to focus our energy on helping the survivors and victims of cancer," Edmonds, 31, the wife of baseball player Jim Edmonds, told Entertainment Tonight. "There is so much work to be done to help those suffering. It wasn't easy exposing a lie about something that is so important to so many of us. It is time for all of us to move on and get to work in a positive way to help in the fight."

A rep for City of Hope hospital confirmed to Us Weekly on Tuesday, Nov. 10, that there was never a patient by the name of "David Brooks Ayers" treated at its cancer facility in Duarte, Calif. Ayers came forward one day later and confessed to fabricating the documents.

"Words cannot express the deep regret that I have in fabricating documents to 'prove' to the world that I, in fact, have cancer," Ayers told E! News on Nov. 11. "What I did was wrong and inexcusable. I acted alone, without Vicki's knowledge, to produce documents for a reality TV show in hopes of putting doubts about my cancer to rest. I never intended to disclose my actual medical records or details about my private and personal medical history, thus the rationalization of presenting documents that weren't true simply for a 'storyline' for the show."

Peggy Tanous Facing Foreclosure After Missing 75 Mortgage Payments

RadarOnline.com:

Former Real Housewives of Orange County cast member Peggy Tanous could soon be without a real house as a bank wants a bankruptcy judge’s permission to take the one she’s lived in for the last eight years, according to court papers obtained by RadarOnline.com.

U.S. Bank claims Tanous has missed the last 75 monthly payments of $6,000 and that she owes the institution $1.54 million on the Irvine, California, house that’s worth just just $840,000. Tanous also owes $300,000 to another bank on a second mortgage on the house she bought in 2006, the court filing says.

The house was just just three days away from a foreclosure sale when Tanous filed for voluntary Chapter 7 bankruptcy in February 2013. The bank is asking the judge to lift the automatic protection from foreclosure because she has no equity in the property.

Court documents show her annual income is just $30,000 a year since she left the reality show in 2012. Her only income appears to be $2,500 in child support from ex-husband Micah Tanous, although she’s never publicly acknowledged the divorce.

And she can’t plan on Bravo paychecks to save the day: A source recently told Radar she “hasn’t been asked back” to film RHOC again.

Ryan Culberson Under Fire From Marines, Blames Bravo For 'One-Sided' Edit Of Confrontation With Judy Stirling

MilitaryTimes.com:

A Marine who appears on “The Real Housewives of Orange County” is under fire from civilians and other service members following his behavior towards one of the star’s mother’s during Monday’s season finale — but he said there’s more to the story than what made the TV edits.

Staff Sgt. Ryan Culberson, a joint terminal attack controller with 11th Marines, out of Camp Pendleton, Calif., is currently deployed to Afghanistan on his fourth tour. Culberson married his wife, Briana, in 2012. She is the daughter of “Real Housewives” star Vicki Gunvalson, who just wrapped up her eighth season of the Bravo reality TV show. Culberson has appeared on the show for the past two seasons.

But his appearance on the show’s season finale that aired on Monday has left him the subject of a heated debate. Some say his behavior brought discredit on the Marine Corps. Others say blaming him for the way he acted is a double standard, since the “housewives” on the show are regularly yelling at each other and calling each other names.

The incident in question occurred after the mother of one of the housewives, Judy Stirling, approached Gunvalson during a party at her house to tell her that her son-in-law threatened to kick her out. She said he was angry that she rested her feet on the couch and “went off” on her.

But Culberson said Bravo’s edits didn’t show the full story.

“There was so much more … that led up to that incident which they fail to include to make me look like the crazy Marine,” Culberson told Marine Corps Times via email. “It definitely was a crazy night and I cannot get over how the producers edited it.”

Culberson said he went as far as to get the family lawyers involved in order to persuade Bravo into showing a more realistic version of what went down.

“But due to the contract, anything we say or do can be cut a represented they way they want,” he said.

Still, some Marines have said Culberson should never have acted the way he did on camera. And Culberson agreed, saying he has some regrets about what happened that night.

“I said somethings in the heat of the moment that I wish I hadn’t,” he said. “But if the true story had of been painted it would be a lot more justified.”

Gunvalson told Marine Corps Times that she wasn’t there to see what happened between her son-in-law and Stirling, but said the show only depicted Ryan’s reaction, and not what led up to it.

“What Ryan did tell me when the cameras were off is she was very rude and disrespectful to him when he asked her several times to remove her feet off my sofa and the red wine she was holding,” she said.

“Although I can’t defend or condone how he acted because I wasn’t there at the time, I do know Ryan is a very kind man but obviously was pushed to his limit with her.”

Culberson told Marine Corps Times last year that he tries to always be mindful of who he’s representing as a Marine featured on a reality show.

“…I think you just need to make sure you steer clear of any drama that would make you look bad or bring discredit on the Marine Corps,” Culberson said. “I think, unless it’s something positive, it’s just not a good idea. Putting anything negative out there is only going to create problems.”

Peggy Tanous Goes Broke, Files For Bankruptcy

Wetpaint.com:

Sadly, another Real Housewives star has joined the not-short list of ladies from the show who have filed bankruptcy.'

Former Real Housewives of Orange County star Peggy Tanous is out of money and has filed for bankruptcy, according to Celebuzz.

Peggy reportedly declared Chapter 7 bankruptcy in March of this year, according to court documents.

Her liabilities are listed at $2.16 million, consisting mostly of home loans and property taxes.

She also reportedly owes over $70,000 in credit card claims and $10,000 for a book contract.

Peggy is a former model and now a stay-at-home mom who appeared on Season 6 of the show after her pal Alexis Bellino convinced her to join. Peggy left the show in 2011.

That same year, Peggy filed a lawsuit against three banks whom she claimed were trying to bring her home into foreclosure despite the family having made payments.

Peggy's husband, Micah, is a Internet-marketing entrepreneur, and the couple has two daughters.

But Peggy shouldn't be ashamed, since there are plenty of other Real Housewives stars who have been down a similar road.

Other women who have filed for bankruptcy include New York’s Sonja Morgan, New Jersey’s Teresa Giudice and Danielle Staub, and D.C.’s Michaele Salahi.

Lynne Curtin Files for Divorce

DigitalSpy.com:

Real Housewives of Orange County star Lynne Curtin has officially filed for divorce.

Just six days after her fellow Bravo star Bethenny Frankel announced she is separating from husband Jason Hoppy, Curtin has filed to end her marriage to Frank Curtin, her husband of 22 years.

According to TMZ, she cited "irreconcilable differences" in her divorce documents and has asked a judge to award her spousal support.

Curtin announced the couple's separation in May 2012, saying: "I love Frank, but it was time to go out on my own.

"Who knows what the future holds, but I'm looking forward to doing the things that I want to do."

Her former husband added at the time: "I'm not a willing participant in this. It hurts to even think about it or talk about it. Call me old-fashioned, but I take my vows very seriously."

The Curtins married in 1990 and have two daughters, 24-year-old Raquel and 21-year-old Alexa.

The couple appeared on seasons four and five of Real Housewives Of Orange County, with their financial problems forming the primary focus of their plotlines.

Tamra Barney Slams Star Magazine For Saying She Has “Cottage Cheeks”

This is too funny:

Real Housewives of Orange County’s Tamra Barney is lashing out at Star magazine for their remarks about bikini photos of her and other Real Housewives.

Star magazine recently ran a two-page spread called “Real Housewives Bikini Blowout,” with snarky comments accompanying photos of several Housewives, including Tamra, Kim Zolciak, and NeNe Leakes.

Here is Star’s blurb about Tamra: “‘Housewives come younger, but they don’t come hotter,’ Tamra said after joining the Orange County crew. Confidence is definitely sexy — but a dimpled tush and thighs? Not so much.” Accompanying a photo of Tamra in a bikini is the title “Cottage Cheeks” with an arrow pointing to the reality star’s bum.
 

Tamra was the only one of the women to respond, and she took to Facebook to make her displeasure known. She writes:
 
“@star_news you are the reason woman feel horrible about themselves, low self esteem and have eating disorders. your recent article is juvenile and you make me sick! To take a three year old unflattering picture and post it in your current issue makes you look stupid (do your homework)! To make fun of the way a woman looks…… just makes you an assh0le!”

She then posted a more recent bikini pic of herself and fiance Eddie Judge, in which she looks lean and fit. Along with that pic, she included the non-too-subtle message in all caps, “F**K YOU STAR MAGAZINE!” So much for mincing words.

Alexis Bellino Issues Ultimatum To Bravo: I’m Not Returning Without Backup

Alexis is on point here. Sure, she may have Vicki on her side now, but the fact that Vicki was close friends with and thought she could trust someone evil and mean like Tamra still doesn't make sense to me. Then too, why not play some hardball with Bravo, who clearly wants her back? But considering how much husband Jim hates RHOC (with good reason), for Alexis to go against her husband's wishes and have to put up with Tamra, she should get everything she wants (tho I guess Bravo did try this before with Peggy Tanous, but it never helps to bring on a "friend" who once slept with your husband)...just please don't the new friend be Sarah Winchester because she's batshit crazy:

Alexis Bellino certainly saw her relationships change on the last season of Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Orange County.

Previously, she told Celebuzz she wasn’t sure whether she would sign on for Season 8 as she licked her wounds after last season’s brutal reunion specials.

What does the Housewife need in order to return next season?

“If I do the show again, I would have to have a friend on the show with me,” she tells Celebuzz exclusively.

She later explains, “Who wants to go into a pack of wolves and not have anyone with her? I would definitely want to have a friend.”

Bellino certainly had a tough season as she and new castmember Heather Dubrow were like oil and water from the get-go. And to make matters worse, former enemies Gretchen Rossi and Tamra Barney called a truce that left Bellino out in the cold.

Bellino’s ultimatum for coming back on the show may stem from hurt feelings, as she felt ganged up on during the Season 7 reunion specials.

“I think we have a really good season and it was a really good cast,” she says. “But, I feel like it doesn’t have to be so hateful and mean all the time. We could still have a really good season, just not being so mean.”

In response to Celebuzz’s request for comment, a Bravo spokesperson tells us, “We have not yet made an announcement about a Season 8 pickup.”

Bellino, a married mother of three, joined the cast on its fifth season.

Tamra Barney Claims There’s Proof Alexis Bellino Buys Twitter Followers

Hey, we all know how loud, vile and just downright mean Tamra can be. But sometimes Alexis sets herself for this kind of treatment...I mean, buying Twitter followers really smacks of desperation:

Last week, former Peggy Tanous’s husband, Micah, accused the current cast of Real Housewives of Orange County of buying Twitter followers. Now Tamra Barney is pointing the finger at Alexis Bellino, saying her co-star is the one shelling out for fans!

On Twitter, Alexis responded to a tweet asking what she made of the accusation, saying, “Beyond crazy. I wouldn't know the 1st thing about this & would never want fake fans following me.”

After that, Tamra went after Alexis on her own Twitter page. She retweeted a RumorFix article that used Twitter Counter to show Alexis was followed by more than 30,000 people in one day, between August 7 and 8. In comparison, Gretchen Rossi has only accumulated 7,935 followers since August 1 — gaining no more than 1,700 followers in a day. Tamra tweeted, “not even Kimmy K[ardashian] goes up 30,000 in one night.. things that make you go hmmm.”

According to Radar Online, Tamra also added, “Bulls**t! Her [Alexis’s] husband admitted it to Slade and Peggy! how does she explain the extream [sic] jumps up & down in her numbers?” and “Tell her God doesn't like liars!”

Those last two tweets have since been deleted, possibly because Alexis has already threatened to sue Tamra for defamation over previous comments she’s made.

Peggy Tanous Plans Return To Reality Television With New Show About Motherhood

Peggy Tanous Talks Leaving RHOC; Vicki Gunvalson Calls Her “Disrespectful!” Plus Gretchen Claims An “Act Of God” Made Her Forgive Tamra

RealityTea.com:

Last week’s episode of Real Housewives of Orange County featured the official retiring or firing of Peggy Tanous, after a disastrous dinner party where she and Alexis Bellino fought over the ancient history of a toad-like lump named Jim. I probably shouldn’t insult toads that way! Sorry toads, don’t sue me!


Peggy told us she decided to leave because the show gave her anxiety – which I can attest to, I have anxiety simply from watching, so I can understand the anxiety associated from participating. Now she is speaking out and giving more details about what made her give her two weeks notice.


Speaking to Wetpaint, Peggy maintains it was her decision to leave the show. “I am happy with my decision to leave the show. I think this was the best decision for me and my family,” she revealed. “I didn’t want to get pigeon holed as a ‘Housewife’.”


“I’m so happy I did the show and so thankful for the opportunity and experience!;” Peggy added. “It gave me a huge platform, opened doors in a lot of areas, was a lot of fun, and a great learning experience! Not to mention it got me back to doing the work I love and missed while taking time off to have my baby girls.”


As for Alexis, the two have not spoken and no love is lost! “I have not seen or spoken to Alexis since filming Vicki’s party in September,” Peggy says. “We are different people with different priorities, but I wish her well.”


Peggy does still talk to Tamra Barney, who she considers a real-life friend. “I haven’t seen any of the current cast members since Vicki’s party, but I still talk to Tamra and consider her a good friend.” Well, you win some, you lose some.


In response to Peggy’s nothing but nice comments about her former co-stars (save for Alexis), Vicki Gunvalson is taking to her Bravo Blog to trash her so-called former friend! Classy! “The fact that Peggy stood there all righteous acting like her and Micah are so perfect and Jim and Alexis aren’t was rude. Everyone, including them have a ‘past,’” Vicki seethes. Kinda ironic coming from Vicks considering how she treated Slade Smiley only to date his deadbeat brother from another mother!


“To talk about Jim’s past when she doesn’t know the truth is just plain disrespectful. I don’t know why she has set out to try and humiliate Jim the way she has,” Vicki continued. “The accusations that Peggy said about Jim are just wrong and childish. If he doesn’t mean anything to you, then why continue to discuss it? Time to move on girl.” Vicki’s getting a little defensive as of late, isn’t she? Me thinks defending Brooks Ayers has become somewhat of a full-time job!


Moving on, Gretchen Rossi opens up about her decision to forgive Miss. Tamra. And she is giving all the credit to God! Seriously. I guess Alexis finally saved one! “First as I watched myself last season on the show I saw a woman that wasn’t me. I saw a woman that was angry, resentful, and had become negative in some ways,” Gretchen explains in her Bravo Blog.


“I have always been an upbeat positive person and I realized that I no longer wanted to allow anyone to rob me of my own joy. No matter how bad the pain, no matter how harsh the accusations, I just realized I had to let it go in order for my own spirit to repair itself.”


“Secondly, literally an Act of God helped change my way of thinking,” she writes. “I was attending church after the reunion show one weekend and the sermon was about forgiveness.” Listening to her pastor Rick Warren advise: “When we do not allow ourselves to forgive we only hurt ourselves,” opened Gretchen’s eyes. “This resonated with me deeply,” Gretchen asserts.

Alexis Bellino Blames Peggy Tanous for Their Fight in Real Housewives of Orange County Season 7, Episode 2

Wetpaint.com:

The feud between Real Housewives of Orange County’s Alexis Bellino and Peggy Tanous is the dramatic gift that keeps on giving. In Season 7, Episode 2, Peggy and Alexis face each other for the first time since an epic blowout last season. While one might think time would heal their wounds, it was business as usual for these two.


Both parties refused to take blame for that evening’s fight. In Alexis’ latest Bravo blog, she writes that it was Peggy who stirred things up, and “kept throwing digs” at her all night. She also says she was competing with Peggy’s 4-year-old child.


She explains: “[Peggy’s] daughter London had broken her arm over the summer, and I had texted Peggy to tell her I was thinking and praying for her. So at Vicki's when she's telling me the story of what happened to London's arm, I was merely relating to her daughter and what she was going through when I made the comment about having a rod in my leg. I WAS NOT COMPETING with a four-year-old! That just sounds so ridiculous to even say. The fact that Peggy would even say that makes me once again think she is looking for drama.”


Le sigh. We don’t know who to place blame on this round, but we do give Alexis one point for her next comment, which hit the bejeweled nail on the head: “It seems like Peggy and I just can't get out of this negative cycle we're in,” she writes.


Actually, she should make that past tense. Peggy broke the cycle in October when she quit the show for good — she tells Wetpaint Entertainment that the two haven’t seen each other since Vicki’s dinner party.

Where Are They Now: Former 'Real Housewives Of Orange County'

Ology.com:

Do you watch a classic TV show or listen to an old song and wonder, "what happened to that person?" Welcome to Where Are They Now, an Ology feature dedicated to finding out what happened to some of Hollywood's former bright stars. This week, we search the web to find out about the former wealthy women of The Real Housewives of Orange County.


Jo De La Rosa


Viewers remember De La Rosa as the non-traditional housewife. During her time in Orange County, the twenty-something tried to pursue a music career while becoming a pseudo wife for her then boyfriend Slade Smiley. After two seasons she finally moved out to Los Angeles, leaving the drama in Coto de Caza. Well, kind of. Current housewife Gretchen Rossi started dating Smiley, which upset De La Rosa. She turned that anger in music, and released her first album Unscripted in 2008. She promised a second album in 2010, but it looks like no one really wanted it.


Lauri Waring Peterson


Each season meant a different economic standing for this former housewife. At the end of season three, Peterson finally found happiness (and wealth) when she married George Peterson. Sadly, her picture perfect life has had some smudges. In July 2010, police arrested Peterson's son Josh after he violated his probation for possession of narcotics. In 2011, her husband's ex-wife released a video accusing him of abuse and theft. Maybe it's a good thing she got off the camera.


Jeana Keough


If you didn't pay close attention to the series, you'd think Keough was still part of the cast. Even though she left the series in season five, she continues to show up at parties (and piss off Tamra Barney). She will continue to appear on the show, but only when she's not showing houses as a real estate agent.


Lynne Curtin


Who didn't love this ditzy housewife? Unfortunately, her husband's legal issues made them a liability and the family left the show during the sixth season. Curtin managed to pick up the pieces, launching her jewelry line in 2011. She continues to sell custom made accessories, as well as bedding, belts and hand bags. No word on whether her daughters are still out of control, but it's safe to assume yes.


Peggy Tanous


Last season viewers fell in love with Tanous' honesty and humor. Sadly she decided to leave the show after one year, worrying it would take too much time away from her family. According to her website, the mom of two has tried to get back in the modeling game, but that may be hard after leaving the industry for so many years. Here's hoping Heather Dubrow is just as entertaining.

Peggy Tanous: Why I'm Leaving Real Housewives of OC

Listen, no disrespect, but when you've been on "Housewives" for only one season and really didn't make much of a name for yourself while you were there, will anyone really care about you leaving? And c'mon..."soul searching"?!? Puh-leeze:

Peace out, Peggy!


When the seventh season of the Real Housewives of Orange County airs on Bravo, the cast will be without one familiar face. Married mom Peggy Tanous has decided to leave the series, she confirmed via Facebook Tuesday.


"After months of negotiation and soul searching, I have declined [Bravo's] offer to return to the show," Tanous, 41, wrote. "I just felt in my heart that...the time it would take me away from my family was just not a healthy path for me."


Joining the series as part of season six at the urging of pal Alexis Bellino, Tanous expressed a desire to escape the "negative energy of certain cast members" and no longer wanted to "[be] forced to have 'dramatic' confrontations."


Still, Tanous credits the show with providing her with an outlet to overcome the postpartum depression she battled after the birth of daughters London and Capri.


"I loved being a part of the Bravo family and do look forward to any new endeavors this may bring," she continued. "I already have several opportunities to host upcoming TV shows that will empower woman, as well as my husband and I are about to launch our own wine.


"Who knows, perhaps if many of you want to continue to follow me and my family's lives, then a new show can be created! One of 'real' family fun, natural life drama, holistic living, life lessons and experiences."

If there's one thing I can't stand it's women who go on "Housewives" and then act like they had no idea what they were getting into.

Peggy Tanous Is Leaving Real Housewives Of Orange County

Damn, that was quick:

As Reality TV Magazine recently reported, Peggy Tanous will not be returning to Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Orange County. Vicki Gunvalson spoke to RTVM at the Real Housewives Tour at Atlantic City and revealed “Peggy’s not going to be joining us this year so we have a new cast member–you have to watch what happens with her. I just met her a couple of times so I think it’s going to be OK.” But according to Peggy’s Twitter profile at the time of the event, she was still a “Real Housewife of Orange County.” What does Peggy have to say about the rumors that she is no longer a part of The Real Housewives of Orange County?


Peggy has confirmed on her Facebook page that “After months of negotiation and soul searching, I have declined [Bravo's] offer to return to the show.” Really? The news is a bit surprising, considering on September 5 @PeggyTanous tweeted to a fan who had asked whether she was “kicked off” the show, she had replied: “Of course not. Start filming next week!!! Thanks for your support!”


Peggy adds on her Facebook page that “I just felt in my heart that being around the negative energy of certain cast members, being forced to have ‘dramatic’ confrontations and the time it would take me away from my family was just not a healthy path for me.” Last season, Peggy had a falling out with her former BFF Alexis Bellino about appearing as a cast member on the Real Housewives of Orange County without Alexis’ approval, and the friendship has been in disrepair ever since.


Peggy also reveals she and her husband Micah will be launching their own wine. Yes–another alcoholic beverage from another Real Housewife.

Sheree Whitfield Lands on E!'s Top 5 Real Housewife Real Estate Woes

Rare that you get any news on Sheree, but I'm sure she won't appreciate this:

No one can compete with the likes of $11 million-in-debt New Jersey H'Wife Teresa Giudice and her money-hemorrhaging hubby Joe, but Real Housewife of Atlanta Sheree Whitfield landed the Number 5 spot on E!'s Top 5 Real Housewife Real Estate Woes.


Andy Cohen failed to keep the Real Housewives immune from getting totally slammed by the real estate market post-recession. While Sheree is getting sued for cash left and right by the likes of her private detective and her divorce attorney, not to mention getting her shiny new Aston Martin seized to pay for said lawsuits, her home being foreclosed isn't entirely her fault. It was actually her now ex-husband Bob who lost the pricey pad to the bank, and they dropped the asking price by a staggering $1 million to get rid of it.


Sorry, Sheree. If it's any consolation, this seems better than landing on a worst dressed list, right?
