The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills‘ Adrienne Maloof was one of the first housewives to not show up to recording collectionbut she is not the last.
Adrienne chose not to film the sit-down special with her co-stars in 2013. after that Brandi Glanville revealed during season 3 that she used a surrogate to bear her three sons. During the season, Bravo played up the word “surrogate” and more details about the situation, as Adrienne threatened to sue.
After your ex-colleague Lisa Vanderpump pulled same move in season 9 of RHOBA, Adrienne admitted she regrets not filming the reunion for Season 3.
“There was so much going on at the time,” she said on Bravo’s “Daily Dish” podcast in 2020. “In hindsight, I think it would have been better to just go through it, get it over with. And I know Lisa might think differently. That’s a little condescending and holier-than-thou. When I look at what I’ve been through and what she’s been through, there’s no comparison. I’m going through a divorce, the whole Brandi and Lisa situation, taking things out for my family. At the time I felt it was almost too much to handle. But in reality I had to dig into it. I don’t think Lisa would ever say that.
Lisa, for her part, missed the 2019 meeting. in the middle of season 9 Puppygate after being accused of leaking stories to the press about Dorit Kemsleythe dog of The Star of Vanderpump Rules also stopped filming mid-season and quit the series, narrating Us Weekly at the time: “I made the decision to leave. It has been a very difficult year for me personally and professionally. Wives, it’s just emotionally too hard to deal with.
Sources said We at that time Lisa ‘lost a big chunk of her salary’ with the solution.
“Lisa only gets half of her salary for the season if she doesn’t go to the meeting, but she chose not to go anyway,” a source said us at that time. “The women get half of their salary before the shooting starts and the other half after the collection. So Lisa lost money.
A second insider then added: “The housewives don’t get paid in full for the season until it’s over and the reunion is filmed.”
The SUR owner subsequently confirmed via Twitter that she had lost “a lot” of money, adding: “But it wasn’t worth it (to go).”
Beverly Hills isn’t the only city with a history of women breaking free before the reunion. Scroll for more no-shows:
