Go ahead, believe that The Real Housewives isn’t scripted. However, do you know who disagrees? Teresa Giudice, a real housewife in New Jersey, who during a public court trial was caught swearing, under oath, that the show was scripted. Well, that’s that. Most of the fights are planned, staged, and/or dramatized for TV, the stars are all actors and the fancy lifestyles seemingly exhibited on the series hide the fact that many of them are actually facing crippling debt, and simply living above their means via heavy credit usage. Doesn’t sound so great, when you think of it that way.
