In May, Bravo producerAndy Cohenshared that the network had previously come close tocasting “several” lesbian womenon the popular franchise.
During an appearance onGarcelle Beauvais' podcastGoing to Bed with Garcelle, theRHOBHstar asked Cohen, “Have you ever thought about having a gay [Housewives] franchise?”
He continued, “And so I think the answer is we’ve been open to it. We almost cast a guy on [The Real Housewives of New Jersey] who was Dina Manzo’s brother and Caroline’s brother as the first gay Housewife. This was years ago. This was like, 2008 or nine or something like that. But we wound up just not doing it.”
