Real Housewives belong in jail

As I noted in my post The Botoxed Bimbos of Beverly Hills, these women have absolutely nothing to offer but trouble. Not only on the show but it seems in real life. Kim Richards may be headed to jail for public drunkenness and resisting arrest .... and Teresa Giudice is headed to jail for 15 months for tax fraud. What a pair.

Kim Richards

“The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Kim Richards was arrested early on Thursday on public intoxication and other charges after she refused to leave an upscale hotel in the city and later kicked an officer in the leg, police said.

Richards, a former child actress who has appeared on the Bravo channel show since its 2010 debut, was reported by security at the Beverly Hills Hotel to be causing a disturbance in the property’s restaurant, police said. Hotel security asked the intoxicated television personality to leave, but she refused, prompting police to be called, Beverly Hills police said in a statement.

Richards was being escorted from the property when she was allowed to use the bathroom and then refused to leave there as well, police said.

Teresa Giudice

So long, fancy dinners; hello, cafeteria food.

Teresa Giudice, star of Bravo’s hit reality show “The Real Housewives of New Jersey,” turned herself in to the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Connecticut, early Monday to begin serving a 15-month sentence. Giudice pleaded guilty to tax fraud in March. 

Teresa and her husband Giuseppe “Joe” Giudice were indicted in 2013 – first for inflating their incomes while applying for loans between 2001 and 2008 (before “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” debuted in 2009), then for obscuring their growing fortunes by filing for bankruptcy (after the show aired).

Neurotic Housewives of Beverly Hills

The Botoxed Bimbos of Beverly Hills

These self centered, mean spirited, unreal housewives put on a show that is one of the most negative experiences on Television. Like the one review below, I can't watch it because except for its nasty attitudes it basically has no content except the women showing off and one upping each other.

IMDB Ratings: 4.3/10 from 2,593 users

IMDB review one

I watched two episodes and gave it a chance but it was just too unbearable to keep watching. Like most reality TV, all of the characters seem shallow and to have no substance. One of the episodes I viewed was an entire evening spent yelling at each other. I really feel sorry for them. Occasionally you see the actions of a real person shine through, but it's rare. I don't understand why anyone would want to watch a bunch of sad people with low self-esteems be cruel to each other all day. I think all of those women need to go on a spiritual retreat, leaving their designer bags and make-up behind before they spend their last day on Earth thinking, "What did I do with my life?"

IMDB review two - and this person like it 

I completely understand why this series scores so low on the IMDb rating: it's trashy, cheap and fake.

And that's why it is so great! Not only a lot of vulgar bitchfights exceed the classy catfightscenes between Alexis Colby and Kristel Carrington in Dynasty in many ways, but there is so much more: betrayal, jealousy, addiction, cunning plastic surgery (!), adultery, abuse and suicide. And it's all real! 

Well, at least to some extend. Not only do you hate the grotesque characters, you are also going to love them and care. Fascinating how people perform in front of a camera.
