Real Housewives: Dramatic Dinner Parties

Bravo’s popular reality series the Real Housewives has been around for a long time and is continuing to grow with new shows and new seasons. Similar to many other reality shows, the Real Housewives has a high turnover rate when it comes to cast members. As a result, we’ve seen many women come and go over the past few years, and while some might come back for a few guest appearances here and there, many of them disappear from the spotlight! We’re checking in on 12 former real housewives to see where they are now!

12. Camille Grammer – RHOBH

This former Beverly Hills Housewife is never far away as she’s continuously appeared on the show since leaving her series regular position on the show after season 2 as she still has close relationship with several of her former cast members. Viewers got to see Grammer go through a very public divorce from her ex-husband Kelsey Grammer and the two have since had a strained relationship. According to Grammer, she’s been asked to return to the as a main cast member and is considering it. She’s moved on from her marriage with a new boyfriend, been supporting her daughter as she pursues a modeling career and in 2016 underwent surgery for an early stage diagnosis of endometrial cancer.

8. Taylor Armstrong – RHOBH

Taylor Armstrong’s time on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills was riddled with sadness as she quietly battled a domestic abuse in her relationship with her late husband, Russell Armstrong.

She has since then been extremely open about the abuse she suffered and even wrote a tell-all called Hiding From Reality.

6. DeShawn Snow – RHOA

This Atlanta Housewife was only part of the franchise for one season, but many fans were sad to see her go.

In 2010 she got divorced from her husband of 12 years, former NBA player Eric Snow, and became an author in 2013 when she penned a book series for tween girls. To top it all off, she’s also lost over 30 pounds!
