Regardless how hard Bravo is trying to position its upcoming TV show “The Real Housewives of DC” a non-Salahi thing, but sadly, I think it’s going to end up being an all Salahi show. Out of twenty real housewife I know in DC area, over half of them are excited to see the show because of Michaele Salahi. Pretty Sad and pathetic!
The latest entry in the “Real Housewives” franchise premieres Thursday, Aug. 5, and it takes some time for it to get to the much-reported incident at Washington’s 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. (which didn’t happen until filming was nearly completed).
Although other four D.C. “Housewives” will also get big attention in the series, but by far, it is not going to be close to the attention Michaele will be getting. They are Mary Schmidt Amons, a charity event organizer and the granddaughter of media legend Arthur Godfrey; modeling agency chief Lynda Erkiletian; Catherine Ashley Ommanney, a British interior designer and ex-flame of Prince Harry who separated from her husband after the “Real Housewives” episodes were shot; and real estate agent Stacie Scott Turner.
Bravo programming executive Andy Cohen — also the host of the network’s program “Watch What Happens Live” — maintains there was no thought of eliminating Salahi from “The Real Housewives of DC” after the White House controversy erupted, in large part because so much footage of her already was in the can.
I will certainly monitor the tabloids to see what they have to say about the show.
