If you’ve never watched the hit reality series The Real Housewives of New York City, it’s a non-scripted soap opera that documents a group of women who are navigating marriage, divorce, addiction, parenting, and their evolving relationships with each other. Bravo usually casts a specific type of woman for the New York franchise. She’s typically over 40, lives uptown, and has, or has had, a lot of money, whether via marriage or her own career.
