Aside from knowing all the steps, part of competing in Dancing with the Stars includes being confident about how you look. Joey Graziadei didn’t want them to see him sweat, so he took steps to prevent it.

On September 23, The Bachelor alum posted a TikTok from Velour Medical, where he received botox injections in his armpits. Ouch.

“Botox in the underarms treats hyperhidrosis & helps reduce pit stains,” the medical spa’s caption read. Hyperhidrosis is the medical term for excessive sweating.

While Joey hasn’t made any comment about the procedure, he seemed to handle the injections fairly easily. Some TikTok users took note of his calm demeanor.

“He’s so intensely focused,” one commented.

Others were grateful to the medical facility for bringing visibility to the embarrassing condition of excessive sweating. “Thank you for raising awareness for hyperhidrosis!” wrote another user.

Others expressed surprise that the procedure even existed and commented that they would be interested in trying it. “Wow. Didn’t even know they have this procedure,” wrote another commenter, adding a “mind blown” emoji for emphasis.

Joey credits both Kelsey and Jenna for his success so far

Joey’s partner/coach on the dance competition show is professional dancer Jenna Johnson. At the September 17 premiere of Season 33, Joey told People he was “very nervous” but looked forward to showing off his new dance moves.

“It’s nice to have [Jenna] as a safe space, and [I’m] trying to just hone in and hopefully breathe,” Joey said at the time. “But we got through it. I felt great about it, and it’s nice to get one done.”

He also gives credit for his success so far to his fiancée, Kelsey Anderson. He says she’s helped him face the exhausting rehearsal schedule and cheering him on during every performance.

“I’m so lucky to have a supportive fiancée,” the tennis pro gushed. “I texted her immediately after I was done and said, ‘Did I make you proud?’ I just want her to be so happy with how I do this season. But also, she’s giving a lot to be here with me, and I know I’m gone a lot, too.”

During their first performance, Joey and Jenna danced the Cha Cha, receiving a total score of 21/30.

“I was told anything six or higher, I should be stoked,” he said. “So the fact that I got three sevens to start off, I saw [Jenna’s] reaction … her reaction … was shocked.”

“I’m nervous to watch it back because I think my eyes were popped out of my head!” Jenna laughed.

Dancing with the Stars airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on ABC and Disney+.

Smart Real Housewives Who Didn’t Bank on Reality TV Being a Career

Vicki Gunvalson’s recent comments regarding a Real Housewives career have this writer thinking. The OG of the OC unleashed her wrath on Alexis Bellino, who noted that her Bravo “career” wasn’t showing her in the best light. Vicki took offense to claiming that a reality TV show could be considered a job role, noting the ‘friend of’ has a rude awakening coming her way. But in retrospect, I’d argue that most Real Housewives stars have thought about the bigger picture and made a name for themselves away from Bravo just in case they were ever axed. 

Bethenny Frankel built an empire

Even though Bethenny Frankel burned every bridge she ever had with the network, this woman hustled. When she joined the Real Housewives of New York, Bethenny wasn’t known for her business savvy, but she always trusted her gut when it came to signing a contract. Even though she was only paid $7,250 for her first season, Bethenny shared in an Instagram post that she didn’t let the network take a percentage of anything she made on her own, noting it was a move that “changed my entire life.” 

Bethenny founded Skinnygirl in 2009 with her Skinnygirl Margarita. The constant advertising of her company on the series worked out well for Bethenny, who was seen peddling her products in supermarkets. Now, a self-made woman, Bethenny is laughing all the way to the bank. Meanwhile, Bravo had to come up with a clause for future reality stars to give a portion of their non-TV earnings to the network. Essentially, Bethenny paved the way for Real Housewives to make a living off of something other than a family feud. 

Meredith Marks has a passion for jewelry

Before Meredith Marks was a fan favorite on the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, she was a lawyer in the big city. Clearly, the mother never dreamed she’d end up on reality TV and, luckily, had a career to fall back on. Meredith once told E! “I’m not a practicing lawyer. I never have been a practicing lawyer. But I am a licensed lawyer, and I do have the background and the education.” Meredith was a smart cookie as she studied fine arts as an undergraduate. She worked as a model and then attended graduate school at Northwestern University. Mer earned two diplomas: her law degree and an MM from the Kellogg Business School.

She also worked in real estate development and owned a health club in between lawyer stuff. Meredith has never been one to rest on her laurels. The RHOSLC star first launched her jewelry line in 2009 during the recession. 

Melissa Gorga gave fans Envy

A post shared by Melissa Gorga (@melissagorga)

After years of being loved for her fashion choices, Melissa Gorga of the Real Housewives of New Jersey launched a clothing boutique called Envy by Melissa Gorga in Montclair, New Jersey. The fashion of 2015 was memorable as she sold trucker hats and furry boots. But Melissa’s store has come a long way. Believe me, I know, as I am a loyal customer of her Ridgewood location. Envy is doing well, and Melissa just opened another location in Huntington, NY.

The clothing store is no longer a passion project for which Joe Gorga once mocked her. Melissa runs a successful business and has employees that work for her. Melissa has even launched an online portal where fans can shop to drop. The store features dresses, bottoms, tops, rompers, and loungewear. In 2020, Melissa even added menswear. 

Kandi Burruss is flying high on her success

 This peach is a jack of all trades. Kandi Burruss is an actress, businesswoman, dancer, producer, singer, songwriter, and television personality. She often burned the candle at both ends, but she never was at a loss for what to do next. As Bravo viewers saw, Kandi was a successful entrepreneur. She owned an adult toy line named Bedroom Kandi. She also opened several restaurants, which were filmed for a successful spinoff.

Needless to say, many Real Housewives have thought way past their stints on their respective franchises. These women are movers and shakers who don’t want to be left behind when their 15 minutes of fame come to an end. Viewers everywhere can take advice from these women who know they are happily basking in the rays of their success.  

TELL US – ARE THERE ANY OTHER REAL HOUSEWIVES WHO HAVE STARTED THEIR OWN CAREERS?
