Quite a few rent for filming. Some do it for privacy reasons, others do it because their actual houses aren’t fancy enough and some (Aviva RHONY) do it because their apartment buildings don’t allow filming.
Denise Richards (RHOBH) said that they were renting the Malibu beach house that almost burned down because they were trying to work out whether they liked the location before they bought.
Then you’ve got Dorit & PK (RHOBH) who buy and sell at the drop of a hat but don’t actually own their homes. The massive BH house on the tiny steep plot that they can’t sell was/is owned by an LLC, PK is an investor. I love Dorit but it’s all a big grift for them. Major financial smoke and mirrors. Camille, as horrible as she is, was right
Yeah, Lynne Curtin and her family. The bailiffs were filmed literally knocking on the door
. That family is an absolute clusterfuck. One daughter has multiple DUI’s and drug arrests, the other is in porn. Lynne was always drunk/off her tits. Her husband (Frank, I think they’re divorced now), seemed like an ordinary bloke out his financial depth trying to keep up with his wife’s champagne tastes.
