‘Real Housewives’ Forgotten Cast Members: Where They Are Now

The Real Housewives has a long history of cast members — from the household names to those who have been forgotten. Fans already know the franchise’s biggest stars, from Lisa Vanderpump to Kyle Richards, but where are the ones who left their individual shows?

Stacie Scott Turner is a prime example, as she starred in the first and last season of The Real Housewives of D.C. The show came to an abrupt end in 2010 after cast members Michaele Salahi and Tareq Salahi allegedly crashed a White House state dinner.

“I mean, I loved Real Housewives of D.C. I wanted to bring it back for a second season,” Bravo leader Andy Cohen said in 2015, according to multiple outlets. “But that show really got torpedoed by the ‘Salamis,’ I feel like, with the White House crash, there was such a stink on it from those two.”

Nowadays, Stacie is working as a real estate agent.

Another noteworthy former star from the franchise is Real Housewives of Orange County’s Kimberly Bryant, who appeared in season 1 but basically dropped out of the public eye afterward. Though she and her family reappeared in the series in a few future episodes, Kimberly’s full-time role was cut short after her husband, Scott Bryant, got involved in an alleged altercation.

In February 2023, the couple faced a serious financial downfall after their Chicago home entered foreclosure, according to The Sun. The Bryants reportedly owed more than $1.2 million to Bank of America when they purchased their home in 2006.

After testifying in court in November 2013 that she and her husband had lost “100 percent” of their income, the duo had to vacate their home by 2014, according to the outlet. It is still unclear where they moved to.

Another former housewife who encountered money troubles is Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Kim Zolciak. Though she wasn’t entirely forgotten by fans with her spinoff series, Don’t Be Tardy, Kim’s connection to the Real Housewives faltered over the years.

Real Housewives of New York star Bethenny Frankel even blasted Kim for her massive debt.

“[Kroy’s] on a football salary. She’s on a Housewives salary. And they’re spending like the f—king plane’s going down,” Bethenny said in an Instagram video in May 2023. “The thing is, you can’t spend more than you make.”

In Touch confirmed in October 2022 that Kim and her now-estranged husband Kroy Biermann’s Alpharetta, Georgia, mansion was facing foreclosure. Though the duo managed to get their home off the auction block by February 2023, the two filed for divorce and Kim’s alleged gambling and overspending habits surfaced online.

DeShawn Snow: RHOA

DeShawn explained to Essence in 2020 that she was taken off of RHOA because her storyline wasn’t as dramatic as her costars’ lives.

“[A producer] called and said that I was ‘too human for a circus show’ and that because the show did so well, they are about to pump up the drama and they didn’t think that I would fit in,” she told the outlet. “He gave me an example, saying that during the reunion, when I found out what a few of the other ladies said about me, they were expecting me to say more, but I’m not the type to go ‘television’ and start acting crazy because somebody’s talking about me. I’m fine with the decision. It wasn’t my decision. They let me go and there are no hard feelings. I am thankful for the opportunity.”

Tiffany Hendra: RHOD

Tiffany told Bravo’s The Daily Dish why she wasn’t returning as a full-time cast member, citing her family as the primary reason.

“I’m excited to watch along with the fans as I will not be returning full-time this season,” she explained. “Aaron and I are continuing to enjoy building our life and projects here in Dallas as well as spending more time in Australia with family.”
