What is it really like to be a housewife? We all want to know, but only the women we love to watch and the people who make the show have the whole story. Well, listen in close, because they're about to tell all. Major events are skipped altogether - barely any discussions about the reunions. Whole seasons are basically skipped. Major cast members are not included (despite being interviewed, Lisa Vanderpump is barely quoted in the Beverly Hills chapter, but Chris Cullen, a producer who has since been fired, is quoted at length and he definitely has a grudge). Events are portrayed not in the way they are shown and to make certain people look good. Disgusting events are told that never got aired and shouldn't have been written about (Sonja Morgan and a cigarette comes to mind).Part retelling of the storylines from the show, part behind the scenes tea on what went down in the production side of things, the book sheds light on some interesting tidbits that even a longtime fan of the franchises didn't know. It's enlightening, but I wish there had been more focus on the juicy stuff that we had seen, rather than some Housewives recounting the exact scenes from TV and not adding anything new. You can't tell me Carlton Gebbia, iconic witch, didn't have any dirt on that famous screensaver witchcraft from season 4 of RHOBH. The book is let down by certain Housewives having too much of an ego to participate (looking at you Nene and Bethenny) and others shying away from talking about anything meaningful (Vanderpump...) but others came to spill it all. 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. Scott Dunlop: Jeana’s family was very unusual. They were perfect for television, really. Jeana came from Hollywood—she was a Playboy Playmate of the Year, she had been one of the muses in ZZ Top’s music videos, but she was now working as a real estate agent. Her husband, Matt Keough, was a retired baseball player. They were always gone, and their three children sort of roamed the streets of Coto de Caza wild. I remember seeing their son Shane one day, he must have been about seven years old, just standing at my door. I asked, “Shane, what are you doing?” He goes, “I’m hungry.” I said, “Where’s your mom?” and he didn’t have an answer. That was the Keoughs. I knew we could get a lot out of them. Not All Diamonds and R osé] spills the tea (or the rosé, if you prefer) on the reality empire with extensive reporting from the series' casts, producers, executives, and more.” According to Reality Blurb, The Real Housewives of Potomac's Robyn Dixon told producers that the only thing off limits while filming were her husband's personal business and finances. But former Housewife, Katie Rost, said in the book that Robyn went "crazy" when she heard Ashley Darby was Googling private information about Juan Dixon to use against her.
