Real Housewives of Dubai Season 2 Welcomes Newbie Taleen Marie

Newbie alert! BravoCon 2023 featured a screening of The Real Housewives of Dubai Season 2, and we learned that there’s new blood coming to the group.

Bravo’s Daily Dish officially announced that the latest addition to RHODubai is Taleen Marie.

So, who is this new Housewife getting ready to grace our screens alongside Chanel Ayan, Caroline Stanbury, and the rest of the Dubai ladies? We’ve got the tea.

Meet Taleen

The Dubai Housewives were due for another cast member. Nina Ali announced her departure shortly after Season 1 wrapped, and they needed someone to fill in that gap. Taleen has risen to the occasion!

As everyone whooped it up at BravoCon, Taleen took to Instagram to celebrate the news of her casting. She wrote, “Happy to finally announce that I am the newest Real Housewife of Dubai season 2!! Thank you @bravotv and @bravoandy for your continued support and love through this unbelievable journey. I feel so blessed and excited to be a part of the @nbcuniversal and Bravo franchise.”

Taleen describes herself on Instagram as a mom of two and the CEO of Talfitness. The website linked in her bio definitely doesn’t work, but the Instagram account she shared revealed an aspiring fitness influencer with a “digital program coming soon.” Now that she’s part of the Housewives universe, perhaps she can reach out to Shereé Whitfield for tips on how a Real Housewife can get a website back up and running.

According to her social media, the mission of her fitness brand is “transforming the body, activating the mindset, and living the life you create and desire!” That sounds like a big promise, and we can’t wait to see what mindset she activates on the Real Housewives of Dubai.

Bravo hasn’t announced an official premiere date for Season 2, but it’s expected to hit our screens sometime in 2024.

Real Housewives of Potomac Brought Robyn and Juan Dixon ‘Together’

A lot happened in Bravo Land this past weekend. BravoCon took over Las Vegas, with a full lineup of stars, panels, fashion, and more. Also, the new season of Real Housewives of Potomac premiered. And as such, all that drama was fresh for the cast to comment on. And a lot happened in just the first episode.

Robyn Dixon’s relationship was under scrutiny, as news outlets reported on Juan Dixon’s movements with a female co-worker. Her castmates even sat her down for an intervention of sorts, during which Robyn continued to defend her husband in a nasal monotone. Well, without the infidelity clause, there’s hardly anything to get excited about in her situation is there?

Robyn says her marriage is inaccurately portrayed

And Robyn had an additional chance to respond during the Real Housewives of Potomac panel at BravoCon in Las Vegas.

“It’s been hard because I understand why we do the things that we do,” Robyn said. “Juan and I started dating when were 17. We’re not only best friends, [our] lives were very intertwined.”

She claimed that her “relationship is very different from what is captured,” on camera and that editing does not do it any justice.

But the couple chose to present a united front against all the rumors and speculations about Juan’s infidelity. And Robyn was tasked with offering explanations for all of his questionable sightings.

She explained, “It’s been hard for people not understanding the depth of our relationship. The show brought us together because of all the scrutiny. So we were forced to really have each other’s back.”

As much as Juan claimed that he “doesn’t care,” the couple isn’t so solid that the constant scrutiny doesn’t affect them. During the RHOP season premiere, Robyn stated that that her joy had been taken away.

And while the panel was in progress, Robyn added, “It’s the outside noise that really tears each other apart.”

Sadly, it seems that this marital strife will continue to play out as the RHOP season progresses. At least Robyn can count on her friends to pull her through.

Catch the Real Housewives of Potomac Sundays at 8/7c on Bravo.

RHONJ Season 14: Jackie Goldschneider Says ‘Unexpected’ Teresa Giudice Friendship ‘Grew Organically’

During Season 11 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, star Teresa Giudice unleashed a cheating rumor about Evan Goldschneider. His wife, Jackie Goldschneider, was furious. She made an analogy about Teresa’s teenage daughter, Gia Giudice, using drugs. And she and Teresa never saw eye to eye after that. Until now.

Jackie was besties with RHONJ co-stars Margaret Josephs and Melissa Gorga. And Teresa and Melissa were straight-up enemies. We must be in an alternate universe because now Jackie is Team Teresa. And then Melissa was caught on video, shading Jackie. “Jackie wants to be invited to every single party,” Melissa remarked. And of course, the video made the rounds on social media.

Meanwhile, Margaret and Jackie were always close. Reportedly, when Jackie handed out copies of her new book, The Weight of Beautiful, at Dolores Catania’s charity softball game, she neglected to give Margaret a copy. And that incident sparked the bad blood.

Do Jackie and Teresa have a solid friendship?

Jackie spoke to US Weekly at BravoCon and dished about her new relationship with Teresa. She called their friendship, “new, growing, and mutually respectful … unexpected.” I’ll say!

“It was really organic. It was like we were just talking at a party and then we were talking more, and then we started calling each other and then we hung out and started hugging,” Jackie explained. “We like each other. Yeah, it really grew organically.”

But while Jackie’s bond with Teresa has been flourishing, it sounds like her friendship with Margaret is dying on the vine. Jackie admitted that it was “very surprising” where her relationship with Margaret stands. “Sometimes friendships … they evolve. They come to an end,” the writer simply stated.

I’m glad there will be some drama during Season 14 of RHONJ. Even though it is from such an unexpected source.

RHOBH’s Dorit Kemsley Might Get a Tattoo With Kyle Richards

If there was anything symbolic of Kyle Richards’ newfound independence from Mauricio Umansky, it would appear to be her tattoos. That seemed to be the root of their argument on the recent episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

Kyle hinted that Mauricio wasn’t paying attention to her body and was unable to identify all her new ink. For his part, it seems the entire topic triggers him.

So it was interesting that during BravoCon, Kyle suggested her good friend Dorit Kemsley is considering getting inked as well. Especially since Dorit has also admitted to marital issues with her husband, PK Kemsley.

Dorit “surprised” Kyle in the past year

The duo appeared on the Bravo2Bravo: Bosom Buddies panel at BravoCon 2023, where they spoke about their friendship evolving and being “tested.”

“We’re tested over and over again all these years,” Kyle said. “The relationship that Dorit and I have is like sisters.”

Well, hopefully it’s not like the particular relationship the RHOBH star has with her sisters. Kyle alluded to her friendship with Dorit being unlike that of Kim Richards and Kathy Hilton.

The moderator then asked Dorit to comment on whether she and PK were seperated. She responded, “You know, I already did deny the rumors immediately. … It seems like no one really pays attention to that. So yes, the rumors are not true.”

Both of the ladies were asked to reveal what in their friendship “surprised” them in the past year.

Dorit said, “I know that this last year, Kyle has got a thicker skin than I thought she had, which I was really happy to learn.”

Kyle then dropped the tattoo revelation. She said, “I’ve learned that Dorit will get a little jealous if I have a good friend, and then she’s open to getting a tattoo with me.”

Certainly, their friendship deepened after both parties dealt with marital issues.

“The support is unparalleled,” Dorit said of Kyle. “They understand better than anyone else in your life because you’re in the trenches together. I know that I can speak to Kyle about anything — good, bad or ugly.”

Below Deck Sailing Yacht’s Daisy Kelliher Responds to Gary King’s Cryptic Post

BravoCon was on this past weekend in Las Vegas. It was a full three day bonanza of all things Bravo. The stars, the panels, the fashion, and all the tea that was spilled in interviews was the peak of entertainment news. At least for us Bravo fans.

The event is also a good indicator of who has fallen out of favor from Bravo executives. Ramona Singer was axed at the eleventh hour due to her insensitive remarks. And Below Deck Sailing Yacht alum Gary King was also excluded due to allegations of sexual misconduct.

But Gary was on the radar. He had recently posted a message to Instagram defending himself against the claims. The picture he chose to include showed the First Officer reclining in a field of flowers. Daisies to be exact. And that was worth asking his co-star about, as she was at BravoCon and in fine form.

Daisy is “trying to stay out of it”

E! Online caught up with Daisy Kelliher at BravoCon asked her if she had any insight on Gary’s recent post.

“It’s sad that people will do anything in their power to bring you down. It’s not about how you fall but how you get up. Luckily for me the fall was into a sea of daisies,” Gary wrote.

The interviewer asked Daisy, “Do you feel like that caption was pointed.”

“No,” she responded. “I don’t think Gary’s surface level enough.”

The amount of hashtags in Gary’s post was unusual. The interviewer mentioned a dozen or so, and asked Daisy if she had one in response. The most notable ones included #iwascancelledbecauseofalie, #anythingforaplatform, and #don’tbelieveeverythingyousee.

“Hashtag no comment,” Daisy said. “This has nothing to do with me. That’s their thing, and I’m trying to stay out of it. I’m concentrating on my thing. Unfortunately, no comment.”

It seems wise to side-step that drama. After working and filming alongside Gary for three seasons, Daisy knows better than to get involved.

TELL US – WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT GARY’S POST? WHAT DO YOU THINK OF DAISY’S RESPONSES? ARE YOU SURPRISED THAT SHE DOESN’T WANT TO GET INVOLVED?

Vanderpump Rules Scandals That Were Worse Than Scandoval

(Photo by: Evans Vestal Ward/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank/NBCUniversal via Getty Images)

The cast of Vanderpump Rules are masters of bad behavior. In the last decade, fans have seen the cast lie, cheat, and steal their way through 10 seasons. While it’s hard to imagine a scandal bigger than Scandoval, there have been a few bombshells throughout the years that rival Tom Sandoval and Rachel Leviss‘ infamous affair. Here are four Vanderpump Rules scandals that were worse than Scandoval.

Jax & Kristen Hookup

(Photo by Chris Weeks/Getty Images for LACOSTE)

When the news of #Scandoval first broke, the public was shocked that two people could stoop so low, but Vanderpump Rules fans had seen it all before.

In Season 2, there was a scandal that closely mirrored the Sandoval and Rachel affair. Yes, we’re talking about Jax Taylor and Kristen Doute hooking up. Here’s how it went down. Jax had recently broken up with his longtime girlfriend, Stassi Schroeder, who happened to be best friends with Kristen. One night, Jax decided to break bro-code and slept with Sandoval’s girlfriend, Kristen. Not cool. To make matters worse, it wasn’t an isolated event. They hooked up twice. Once, while Sandoval was in the other room sleeping.

Some might argue that Scandoval was worse because of the duration of the affair. However, let’s remember a few key facts. Kristen lied to Stassi’s face when she confronted her about the affair, while Rachel was never asked about the affair before the news broke. Who knows, maybe she would’ve come clean. There were also feelings involved in the Scandoval affair, which doesn’t make it okay, but it does make it more complicated.

Jax Getting a Girl Pregnant

(Photo by: Charles Sykes/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank/NBCUniversal via Getty Images)

In Season 1, Jax admitted that he cheated on Stassi during a trip to Vegas but wait, it gets worse. Jax got the girl pregnant. Dudeeeee. Viewers were shocked, Stassi cried, and Jax…felt bad? We hope?

Some people will say that because Vegas Girl was a one-time incident, Scandoval is way worse, but come on, there is no way this is the only time Jax was unfaithful to Stassi. We think the pregnancy aspect of the affair makes it even more shocking than the Season 10 scandal.

Jax Sleeping With Faith

In Season 6, Jax proved he wasn’t done with his bad boy behavior when he cheated on his girlfriend, Brittany Cartwright, with SUR employee, Faith Stowers. Now, you may be thinking, “How is this worse than Scandoval?” Well, Faith was a caretaker for a 95-year-old woman at the time and yeah, the two hooked up in front of a sleeping old woman. So insane.

But that’s not all. Jax also said a bunch of mean stuff about Brittany during the hookup, which Faith recorded. Lala Kent got a hold of the audio and played it for Brittany at a party. The viewers didn’t get to listen to the audio, but according to Lala, Jax said he never wanted to marry Brittany or have kids. This came as a total shock to Brittany. She was completely devastated and started yelling “rot in hell” at Jax. The two are now married with a child, so I guess it worked out? Yikes.

Miami Girl

In Season 3 of VPR, Kristen tried to ambush Sandoval at work with a girl he supposedly slept with in Miami. The girl, commonly known as “Miami Girl” showed up at SUR and tried to get Sandoval to admit they hooked up. 

Sandoval denied it and left the restaurant. Ariana Madix defended Sandoval for years, saying publicly she believes the two never slept together. Well, guess what? She knew the whole time that they did, in fact, sleep together. After Scandoval, Ariana confirmed that Sandoval did sleep with Miami Girl at the beginning of their relationship. The Bravo star said she and Sandoval were not exclusive at the time and she felt a need to protect the man she thought she was going to spend the rest of her life with. 

We think this Vanderpump Rules scandal rivals Scandoval because the level of lying is just so shocking. Sandoval slept with this girl and then gaslit her, making her look like a liar on TV.

The Most Problematic 90 Day Fiancé Couples

TLC/YouTube

It’s no secret that the 90 Day Fiancé franchise has seen some unique couples over the years. The original show solely focused on international individuals moving to the United States to marry their American fiancé, although it has strayed from that in recent spin-offs. Many couples featured on the original show have also appeared on spin-offs including 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days, 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?, and 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way.

While 90 Day Fiancé has featured many amazing love stories, they have also shown some very problematic ones. Several couples have showcased toxicity and abuse in their relationships, which was honestly difficult to watch at times. The following five problematic 90 Day Fiancé couples are arguably the most toxic to ever come from the franchise.

Gino & Jasmine

(TLC/YouTube)

Gino Palazzolo and Jasmine Pineda made their debut on Before The 90 Days, where they quickly showed their true colors. Gino traveled to Panama to meet Jasmine for the first time, where it was later revealed that he had sent his ex nude photos of Jasmine. This painted Gino as the villain in the relationship, although it did not take long for that to change.

When the couple returned for a second season, Jasmine dropped the ball that she was still in touch with her ex behind Gino’s back. This made Jasmine look hypocritical, especially when she decided to move into the same building as him with Gino’s money. Despite all of their issues, Gino and Jasmine appear to still be going strong and now live in the United States together.

Paul & Karine

(TLC/YouTube)

Paul Staehle and Karine Martins are a controversial former couple, although their relationship status has been unclear for years. Throughout their time on the franchise, the ex couple appeared on Before The 90 Days, Happily Ever After?, and The Other Way. Despite having two children together and trying to make things work, Karine ultimately could not put up with Paul.

Paul was often called out by fans for acting inappropriately around other women, and it did not take Karine long to become tired of his shenanigans. Following their time on the show, Paul and Karine lost custody of their sons in a difficult court case. They were recently spotted at Disneyland together. It prompted rumors that they were back together, which Paul later denied. He instead claimed he had a girlfriend and that Karine was dating multiple men.

Colt & Larissa

(TLC/YouTube)

Colt Johnson and Larissa Lima were another couple for the books, whose relationship was shelved after less than a year! Larissa moved to Las Vegas to marry Colt, but quickly found herself having issues with his mother Debbie Johnson. At one point, Larissa even admitted to flushing her wedding ring down the toilet! Can it get much worse than that?

When Colt and Larissa returned for Happily Ever After?, it was anything but that. Larissa was arrested when Colt accused her of domestic violence, and viewers watched as they hashed it out in court. Larissa stressed about the possibility of being deported, while Colt eventually found love with another woman, Vanessa Guerra.

Daniele & Mohamed

(TLC/YouTube)

Danielle Mullins and Mohamed Jbali were what reality television is all about, but their relationship was still incredibly toxic. Viewers were suspicious from the jump, when 26 year old Mohamed moved to the United States from Tunisia claiming to love Danielle, who was 15 years his senior.

Problems quickly began to unfold for the former couple, when Danielle revealed that she had been dishonest with Mohamed regarding finances. In turn, Mohamed said he was not attracted to Danielle on several occasions, which made it seem like he was using her. Ultimately, Mohamed asked for a divorce and the couple went their separate ways. However, that did not stop Danielle from compiling a binder of their relationship, that she later threw at him!

Angela & Michael

(TLC/YouTube)

Angela Deem and Michael Ilesanmi were fan favorites when they were first introduced on Before The 90 Days, but their relationship has gotten extremely toxic since then. Throughout the seasons, Angela began to act aggressively toward Michael, such as the time when she threw a cake in his face. Later on, Angela reached a new low when she flew to Nigeria without telling Michael and tried to tear apart his car.

Angela also accused Michael of cheating on several occasions, and he did later admit to cheating online when he messaged a fan. However, Angela also admitted to having a crush on her friend Billy, but never acknowledged that she was in the wrong for that. Angela and Michael are currently working on their relationship on 90 Day: The Last Resort, so we will soon learn what their current status is.

The Most Disastrous Real Housewives Cast Trips

(Photo by: Paul Cheney/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank/NBCUniversal via Getty Images)

Every year, the Real Housewives of whichever city embark on a one-of-a-kind cast trip. Many of the vacations have been to exotic destinations that included spiritual pools, white sand beaches, and Bravo personalities falling over into bushes. However, sometimes the escape isn’t as serene as the ladies would have hoped, and a tropical paradise can quickly turn into scary island. Something about the change of scenery just makes some Real Housewives go totally unhinged

Hong Kong – RHOBH

@thethroebackqueen/YouTube

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 7 trip was a standout thanks to Erika Jayne‘s emotional freakout on an unknowing Eileen Davidson. The trip was rough from the start, but the scenic dinner overlooking the city was the cherry on top. Erika’s over-the-top table antics include tears and screaming, “You don’t know what I deal with every night!”

Dorit Kemsely was already in hot water with the Pretty Mess singer after causing an argument over Erika flashing her friends and not wearing panties. Could she be any more thirsty? Lisa Rinna had the most absurd attack to date, asking Dorit, “Were people doing coke in your bathroom?” Lisa’s Nancy Drew detective skills led her to ask this question because multiple people got up from the table during a party she had thrown a few weeks prior. No amount of Buddha statues was going to save this trip.

Whistler – RHOC

@housewivesthings/YouTube

Leave it to Vicki Gunvalson to make our cousins to the North judge us even more. On what was supposed to be a beautiful trip to Whistler, the slopes turned extra icy thanks to the snow queen herself shouting about her love life. During Season 8, the OG of the OC made it clear why she will always be a powerhouse, even if it ruined a bit of the girl’s trip. Lauri Peterson had been coming for Vicki all season, but she wasn’t going to take it lying down. 

Fans watched as the girls’ trip turned into a mud-slinging fest, complete with neon ski pants. Lauri accused Vicki of having a threesome while she was away at an insurance conference, implying that the usually prude Vicki was well-versed in colorful sexual acts. Vicki responded the only way she knew how—with an avalanche of emotions, yelling, “I HAVE NEVER BEEN WITH MULTIPLE PARTNERS IN MY LIFE!” The outburst will haunt me whenever I venture onto the slopes. 

Morocco – RHONY

@bravoatbravo/YouTube

The Real Housewives of New York City Season 4 cast trip to Morocco was memorable for a multitude of reasons. Firstly, the amount of times Ramona Singer made rude and uneducated comments was absurd. Ramona was also gifted the gift of foresight as a fortune teller correctly predicted that Mario Singer was cheating on her. Talk about a buzz kill. The trip also wasn’t so great for Luann de Lesseps, who was literally kicked off her camel, not once but twice, because it couldn’t stand her bull anymore. 

I’ll never unhear the Countess’ high-pitched screams. Alex McCord tried her best but still failed to address the Herman Munster comments made by Lu. The exchange became hilarious as Kelly Bensimon demanded that Alex “reenter” the room and be more genuine. There was just no winning for the “buffalo.” Back to Ramona, who had us all riding the Ramonacoaster as she fought it out with Jill Zarin. topped the trip off. 

Columbia – RHONY

Bravo/YouTube

The boat ride from hell will go down in infamy among fans of the Real Housewives of New York City. The women of the Big Apple knew how to handle rumors, affairs, and even a catfight or two, but they were not a match for the open seas of Cartegna that tried to spit them out after a harrowing cruise. The trip had two dinner table fights, a drunk Dorinda Medley slurring words, and everyone getting food poisoning, which required Ramona and Sonja Morgan to wear diapers on the flight home. 

Anguilla – RHOA

@thethroebackqueen/YouTube

Season 5 of the Real Housewives of Atlanta gave fans everything on their cast trip to Anguilla. Kenya Moore couldn’t keep it in her pants as she flirted shamelessly with Apollo Nida. Until Phaedra Parks stepped in, it looked as if the beauty queen may have ended up back in his room. There was also a dramatic showdown between Porsha Williams and Kenya, which gave us the iconic “Gone With the Wind fabulous” twirl.

Real Housewives With the Most Debt

(Photo by Dave Kotinsky/Getty Images for Empire City Casino at Yonkers Raceway)

The Real Housewives franchise is full of luxury real estate, designer duds, and incredibly over-the-top events. But the dark side of the glamorous lifestyle is even more common, with countless Housewives facing foreclosures, lawsuits, and even jail sentences. Across every city in the franchise, you’ll find that at least a few of the stars neglected to pay their taxes and/or rent.

Having debt in and of itself isn’t surprising in this economy, but the amounts these ladies owe are truly staggering. We’re looking at the Housewives who are the most in the red financially.

Teresa Giudice

(Photo by Dia Dipasupil/Getty Images)

Perhaps the poster child of Real Housewives with the most debt, Teresa Giudice has a long history of tax issues. Since 2000, Tre racked up $1 million in tax debt. She claimed that was mostly due to ex-husband Joe Giudice.

It seems old habits die hard, because earlier this year, the Real Housewives of New Jersey OG once again made headlines for owing back taxes. However, Teresa’s attorney issued a statement insisting his client is making a solid effort to pay off her debts. But she still has a long way to go. She even admitted to hoping Joe can come back to the United States to give her a hand financially. And she still surrounds herself with people making questionable financial calls, like her friend and stylist Jennifer Piña.

Kim Zolciak

Kim Zolciak and her on-again/off-again husband Kroy Biermann owe so many different debts at this point, it’s hard to keep up. There seems to be a new lawsuit against the former Real Housewives of Atlanta stars every day.

Most recently, Kim and Kroy were sued for over $230K by their bank. They owe at least a million to the IRS. Kim’s gambling addiction surely isn’t helping. Neither is that $30K she just spent on vaginal rejuvenation surgery.

It seems financial trouble runs in the family, because Kim’s eldest daughter, Brielle Biermann, was recently sued by American Express over an unpaid credit card bill.

Nene Leakes

Kim’s frenemy and former co-star NeNe Leakes also has a history of getting into steep financial trouble. The RHOA alum owed $820k to the IRS in 2016. Recently, it was reported that she owes unpaid rent for her fashion boutique.

Erika Jayne

(Photo credit: Bravo/YouTube)

Erika Jayne seems to be the Real Housewife who currently has the most debt. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star’s financial woes keep making the news, with estranged husband Tom Girardi owing $101 million.

Erika’s debts include a $25 million lawsuit, in which she was accused of knowingly using Tom’s law firm to fund her lifestyle. Considering she literally has a song called “XXXPENSIVE” and once bragged about spending $40K a month on glam, that seems to check out. And last year, it was reported that Erika owes $2.2 million in taxes. Despite all of her debts, and all of the victims Tom owes money to, Erika’s biggest concern remains her beloved diamond earrings.

Erika’s debt has earned tons of headlines, but she’s not the only RHOBH star with tax trouble. Dorit Kemsley and husband PK, the couple Erika memorably predicted would be the next to split, once owed the IRS $1.3 million.

Jen Shah

Jen Shah‘s legal and financial woes didn’t go away once she started her prison sentence. Over the summer, it was reported that Jen owes her lawyer over $124K in unpaid legal fees and expenses. Jen and husband Sharrieff Shah were reportedly contacted about the fees at least six times before the lawsuit was filed. Neither of the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City alums responded.

Karen Huger

Bravo/YouTube

Karen Huger and husband Ray “The Black Bill Gates” Huger’s tax issues were a major storyline in Real Housewives of Potomac Season 3. But the RHOP star refused to let that diminish her self-appointed Grand Dame status. As Karen memorably told co-star Robyn Dixon, “you gotta MAKE millions to OWE millions!” Karen and Ray did, indeed, owe millions. According to a 2017 Washington Post article, their debt was at least $1.5 million. A year later, Karen claimed everything was paid off and settled.

Brynn Whitfield

(Photo by: Charles Sykes/Bravo via Getty Images)

The newest Bravolebrity on our list, Real Housewives of New York reboot star Brynn Whitfield reportedly owes $30,000 in taxes. She was also evicted from a former apartment in 2014 after failing to pay $7,000 in rent. Thankfully, she got to stay in her current pad that RHONY viewers salivated over.

Brynn’s history of falling into debt should further dispute the fan theories about her having sugar daddies. We’ll see if these bad financial habits change now that she’s in the spotlight. But judging from the other Real Housewives with the most debt on this list, fame could only make those problems worse.
