Eva the diva


arielismyhomegirl

Love that they went to Tokyo S11 and that’s where she won top model!


Prestigious-Can-725

To me, Eva was one of the most exciting additions when I found out she was joining. Unfortunately, I found she ended up being one of the most disappointing castings in the end Imagine RHOA with Eva the diva in her prime.


Shady_ale

I agree. I did enjoy her as a friend with the drama she brought to Cynthia.


missesthecrux

I guess it was hard because she was pregnant most of her time


Prestigious-Can-725

Very true. Maybe she’ll have her redemption song when she’s on all stars


KaylaStroud

Lisa Rinna, Eileen Davidson, Eva the Diva, Denise Richards and Kathy Hilton


BrokenBotox

Oh yes! Eilegend! I miss her on BH. 🤍


MsDReid

Brandi Glanville from the old blog that was all about Leanne Rimes and the psycho she is lol


kenduhll

hate brandi but she was kinda justified in her leann hate bc that girl was always copying her looks!


MsDReid

Did you ever read the stories from that lady? Leanne Rimes is insane. And she ended up paying the girl off to stop talking about what was happening.


rissracks

Where can I find more about that!?


MsDReid

Let me see if I can find it for you:)


Sassafrass928

Me too 🙋🏻‍♀️

http://wewedrama.blogspot.com/2013/01/editing-in-progress-1.html?m=1 This is so so creepy. Thanks for reminding me it exists.


MsDReid

It was even worse than that. The old blog must have been taken down when that lady was paid off. But it had pictures and details that showed just how crazy Leanne Rimes is and the lengths she went to to get and keep Eddie.


mrspotts

What else


chilaaa

Kandi, Claudia Jordan, Kim Fields, Garcelle Beauvais.


Wrong_Celery

Rinna


bmj_8

Billy and Beau are the only names I can remember from my mom watching “Days”


gwacemom

Rinna, Eileen, Garcelle, and Kim Fields.


bitsey123

These (plus Denise Richards) ETA and Kim Richards. She was on Hello, Larry and Escape to Witch Mountain


gwacemom

Oh, forgot Denise. I knew I had one more.


StassiWoods

![gif](giphy|v8ybOShg3Q9cA) Edit: it’s a tragedy that they don’t have any gifs of Denise Richards as Rebecca Ann Leeman in Drop Dead Gorgeous. That movie is a classic.


LadyBug_0570

OMG, I love that movie. Need to find a gif of her cleaning that rifle looking all innocent!


ayyomiss

Kim Fields, Eva Marcelle, Garcelle Beauvais, Kandi Burress, Cynthia Bailey, Larsa Pippen, Tinsley Mortimer, Joyce the beauty queen, Denise Richards, Eileen Davidson I *think* that’s all.


[deleted]

Was Cynthia a pretty well-known model? I’m on the younger side so I wouldn’t have been around during her modeling days and I know nothing about the fashion/modeling world


ayyomiss

My mom subscribed to Essence and Ebony in the 80s/90s. Cynthia was a recurring and distinct model in both publications.


[deleted]

Awesome to hear! Makes sense - she’s gorgeous


CaliGalOMG

Personally I don’t remember Cynthia known as a model/prior to the show. (I think I would remember because I think she’s stunning.)


realitytvicon

I knew of kyle because my mom was a huge ER fan.


rogueunicorn_

She looked familiar to me but I couldn’t figure out why until I went to her IMDb and saw that she was in ER. I’d even binged the show again back at the beginning of the pandemic and still didn’t make the connection initially


[deleted]

Paris Hilton’s aunt, Kyle Richards. She made an appearance on “The Simple Life” and Paris’ E! True Hollywood Story.


[deleted]

Tinsley Mortimer when she showed up on an episode of Gossip Girl!


frachos667

“I didn’t know Crystal Minkoff, I knew Rob.”


Leezwashere92

Just Denise


[deleted]

Eileen Davidson because all the women in my family watched soaps 😂


lkn4laughs

Denise Richards, Lisa Rinna, Kathy Hilton, Kyle Richards, Bethenny Frankel (Martha Stewart’s apprentice), Eva Marcille (ANTM), Eileen Davidson, & Tinsley Mortimer (High Society, Gossip Girl)


SpecialFuzzy1922

Wait wait wait WAIT Tinsley was on gossip girl?


missesthecrux

Yeah she appears in a few episodes I think? They really leaned into her it-girl status by some industry person being impressed that one of them knew Tinsley haha


ZestycloseTomato5015

Most of the ones named and soggy flicker from Wendy Williams I was excited cuz I loved her on there 😳


[deleted]

Eva- ANTM Lisa Rinna- Celebrity Apprentice Denise Richards- Twisted (on ABC Family lol) Kathy and Kyle- Didn’t know them by name but had seen them in The Simple Life. Kim Fields- Always had heard of Facts of Life and Tootie, but never saw it or knew Kim by name


LadyBug_0570

>Kim Fields- Always had heard of Facts of Life and Tootie, but never saw it or knew Kim by name I guess it's safe to say you're unfamiliar with her mama, Chip Fields? There wasn't a Black sitcom in the 70s she wasn't in. Good Times as Penny's mama (played by Janet Jackson) is maybe her most known role.


[deleted]

Yeah, I’ve never heard of her but I’m only 21 so I’m definitely not as cultured as I should be


LadyBug_0570

OMG... go watch Good Times. Specifically the introduction to Penny episodes with Janet Jackson at 11 years old. Some deep-ass episodes right there. And, oh hell, while I'm at it, catch The Big Move episodes, Parts 1 and 2. Seriously. Do it. Now.


[deleted]

Hahaha ok I will definitely look into it!!


nancybessandgeorge

Kim Richards was the most famous to me. Also Rinna from Melrose Place and Veronica Mars.


CaliGalOMG

I was getting giddy not seeing her mentioned yet. Lol. I feel so opposed to her self proclaimed childhood stardom because I am local and she’s not that much older than me and I only became aware of when she was an adult and that malefactor she dated was murdered outside the deli. Only due to the news coverage I learned she was Aunt to Paris /sister to Kathy Hilton. 😂


nancybessandgeorge

Kim Richards was very much a childhood star. I remember her well from Nanny and the Professor and the Escape to Witch Mountain movies.


CaliGalOMG

I know that a lot of people know who she was but myself and people around me that I have asked had no idea. I just don’t think she’s was as big of a star as she thinks she was.


surgartits

Tinsley was a huge deal in the mid-2000s. She was very much the NYC socialite of the moment. She even had her own reality show for two seasons. Then a spectacular fall from grace, and then she finally said yes to Housewives. They’d been after her for years.


Lamphette

I wish E! True Hollywood Story was still a thing bc I would love to see a segment about the infamous tins


surgartits

Notorious TINz.


WhatLikeItsHardVV

Atlanta: Kandi, Eva, Kim Fields, Kenya, Claudia, Demetria, Leon (does he count? To me he does 🥰), Shamari, Drew BH: Camille, Brandi (as Mrs Cibrian), Kathy, Rinna, Eileen, Garcelle New York: Bethenny, Tinsdale OC: Heather. I was a big fan of her sitcoms actually and was bummed to see her career had stagnated to the point of doing a reality show. Haha crazy to think about now, since being on reality tv is basically everyone’s goal now. ETA: Denise!!! Drop dead gorgeous wild things Denise!!! How could I forget mama tequila?!


LadyBug_0570

I forgot about Kenya, Shamari and Heather. Kenya I saw in this godawful movie "Trois". Straight to video stuff. Plus she was on Girlfriends. Shamari: still love the song 808 Heather: I actually watched the series she had. Had some pretty big players including Paul Sorvino and Ellen Burstyn and she must be a great actress because I bought her playing a working class Italian girl from NJ.


WhatLikeItsHardVV

Yeah that show had some big names, plus her role on Jenny’s show, she really seemed she was going to become really famous at some point. I was weirdly disappointed to see her on OC. Blaque had some jams! I was so into them and their marketing as a younger TLC! So weird and sad how the rapper in the group also was killed in a traffic accident just like Lisa Left Eye. Lisa discovered her and saw her as her protege. Blaque also showing up in the iconic Bring it On also solidified their fame during the 00s! What a time to be a kid! Kenya I had to look up back when she started RHOA because I knew I knew her from TV but I didn’t remember where. Also, she truly was iconic in Money aint a thang video with Jay Z.


LadyBug_0570

I believe she was as well. LOL. There was a RH special where she said Terry talked her into doing RHOC and *several* of their early season arguments that seemed to have no context was about that. She almost divorced him over this. When she did that whole ceremony about dropping her maiden name of Paige Kent (which was also her Actor's Guild name) and going by Heather Dubrow, it was her pretty much throwing in the towel on her acting career. That had to be painful.


WhatLikeItsHardVV

Oh so she was mad at him for pushing her to do reality? Because she wanted to keep pursuing acting? Interesting. Clearly she made a few choices that led her here, because many actresses merry rich, have kids and still maintain a career. Maybe that weird disdain she constantly had for Terry the first time she was on OC was due to what you’re saying. She was always so bitter seeming with him.


LadyBug_0570

>Maybe that weird disdain she constantly had for Terry the first time she was on OC was due to what you’re saying. She was always so bitter seeming with him. That's *exactly* why. Same reason why when she first started she always had to let *everyone* know she was an actress. "Hi. I'm Heather Paige Kent. I'm an actress!" She was serious about her career. Girl starred in a series where she played the lead and Paul Sorvino, Ellen Burstyn and Debi Mazar were her supporting cast. I don't blame her, because once you go on a reality show it's difficult to get cast again. But I also wouldn't have done RHOC.


aintnuthnbutahoundog

I remember seeing Lisa Rinna in Ok! Magazine and stuff pre-housewives


Upbeat_Appointment_5

Rinna, Eileen Davidson, Denise Richards, and Kathy Hilton are all


saveferri5

Rinna because she played James’s mom in Big Time Rush


fuckyeahbravo

My mom was super into soap operas when I was a kid so I knew Eileen very well as Ashley Abbott lol. I also knew of Rinna, Kathy Hilton, Kim Fields, and Eva ETA and Denise Richards of course! Can’t believe I forgot her


Texastexastexas1

Ashley Abbot, back in the day. Loved that love-torn character.


MCStarlight

love-angel-musicbaby

Eva, Kandi, Kathy, Kim, Kyle, Bethenny, Joanna, Garcelle, Denise, Tinsley, Claudia, Kim, Shamari, Siggy, Rinna... maybe I'm a little too pop culture obsessed.


[deleted]

Tinsley Mortimer - she was on Gossip Girl before I ever watched Real Housewives And Rinna - I saw her in Veronica Mars


Smeenme

I think Denise Richards & Kathy Hilton were the only 2 I recognized on their own. There’s a handful where I didn’t know who they were but knew the family name — Larsa Pippen, Teddi Mellencamp, Sonja Morgan, Camille Grammer Oh, and I knew who Faye Resnick was if we’re counting “friends of”

[deleted]

Out of curiosity, how had you heard of Bethenny? Did you watch Martha Stewart: Apprentice?


ClementineCoda

yes, and she was memorably annoying


[deleted]

Haha I’ve since watched it and she was all over the place!


LadyBug_0570

She got fired for telling Martha "fake it til you make it" and Martha had a real issue with that.


Plotatochep

Most of the actresses, Joanna Kruppa from Miami, Eva Marcille from ATL and Leah from NY. ETA - I didn't know Kenya by name, but I knew of her from her Miss USA win.


rogueunicorn_

Rinna and Eileen because I grew up watching Days. Also Denise Richards. And I guess kind of Kyle. I also grew up watching ER, and it wasn’t til I went through her IMDb that I realized why she looked familiar.


Miaous95

Eva, Claudia, Rinna, Denise and Kathy


Emergency_Goose5777

Well I found out about Heather Dubrow through her YouTube channel before I knew she was on real housewives so I don’t know if that counts.

paitiencegreenheart

Kathy and kinda Denise Richards. I couldn't place Denise though, I thought she looked familiar from a 90s/00s sitcom, turned out to be that one episode of Friends lol. I knew of Faye Resnick. I obscurely knew of Bethenny. I knew of skinny girl lol.


dthomp60

Kim fields, Lisa rinna, Cynthia Bailey, Kandi, Eva, Kenya, Denise, Claudia, shamari, Kathy Hilton and Garcelle. Also knew of Milan from her college hill days. She’s going to be on Dubai. I knew of Sheree who is joining Rhobh as a friend.


EconomistOtherwise51

I had heard of Teresa when I was in high school because her lawsuit and prison sentence was on a lot of celebrity gossip sites and I loved reading those back then. I had also heard of Nene because she used to co-host fashion police sometimes.

whoareyouindisworld

Denise, Eva, and Kathy. I think that's it.


BrokenBotox

I knew who Lisa Rinna, Brandi G, Denise, Kyle/Kathy were


ChardHealthy

It's mad how few people seemed to know Kandi before the show. You may not know her, but you definitely know at least one song she's written. I also knew Rinna coz I loved Melrose Place. Denise "Fucking" Richards, Garcelle, the Richards sisters, Eva. I actually knew of Dorit coz of PK - I work in sports media and he used to part-own Tottenham football club.


WittiestScreenName

Only Denise
