Just when you think the cast of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills couldn’t get any more controversial, they prove you wrong.

The Real Housewives has been on television for over 16 years now, and while it is a staple within pop culture, I feel like there’s been a decline regarding the authenticity, and many seem to agree, pointing to the manufactured drama causing it.  What was once a show that gave us hilarious one-liners, authentic storylines, and over-the-top moments has now become stale, overproduced, and a bit lost.

At its peak, The Real Housewives of Orange County was a staple amongst Bravo fans.

Whether we know it or not, stan culture is a big part of our lives.

In June, after the deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and Breonna Taylor, the Black Lives Matter movement saw an influx of support.

When you think of The Real Housewives, you might think of exaggerated arguments, wine tossing, and wealthy lifestyles that sometimes seem (and are often proven to be) too good to be true.

Being Black in a predominantly white space can oftentimes be incredibly uncomfortable, in part because of microaggressions.
