This is just a fun little article about the true origin of the Housewives, and how the idea was born in the OC, and how it almost never was !
Didn’t know Jeana Keough was a former Playboy Playmate !
And was in a ZZ Top video ? whaaaatttttt?????
(I didn’t watch the first few years, so this may have been disclosed on the show in the first season…)
Didn’t know Tamra Judge (then Barney) was credited with moving the show forward and she was the first on the show to sort of stir up drama and conflict with the other ladies. I do remember her feud with Gretchen! Remember when she had her kid hit on Gretchen when she was drunk at Tamra’s party at her house ? To trap her into cheating on that older dude who was battling cancer at the time ?? wow fun times.
Anyway this is the article from the NY Post and if you wanted to have a look !!
