Who pays for The Real Housewives trips?
In November 2019, executive producer of The Real Housewives franchise, Andy Cohen, opened up about whether production covers the tab on cast trips during an interview with OK! magazine.
“We do,” Andy told the publication. “Frankly, we do yeah but you know it depends on the vacation actually.”
The Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen host also revealed that production isn't always responsible for paying the fees for the lavish excursions.
"There have been some that have been generated by us and there have been some that have been generated by them," Andy explained. "The women take the planning of the vacation really seriously and so it's a case by case but we have paid for them, yes."
