Nicki Minaj and Rihanna are self-proclaimed Real Housewives superfans — and they’re not alone.
In July 2021, Minaj revealed via social media that she would love to host the Real Housewives of Potomac reunion, which host Andy Cohen supported. “I want to see this!” he wrote in the comments section of Minaj’s post. Several cast members including Gizelle Bryant, Karen Huger, Robyn Dixon and Wendy Osefo showed their love for the idea as well.
Rihanna, meanwhile, showed her support for the Real Housewives of New York City’s Leah McSweeney in July 2021 while wearing one of her Married to the Mob streetwear items.
“You’re not exactly my demographic, so it’s all good. I already have Rihanna wearing my sh—t, I don’t need you wearing my sh—t,” McSweeney said on the show when costar Ramona Singer took a dig at her clothing line.
Rihanna then took to Instagram to share a selfie of her wearing a “Bitch Mob” t-shirt. “What was said @ramonasinger?😂#RHONY,” she wrote alongside a clip of the scene.

"Asking what city of the Housewives is simply the best, that's like asking what your favorite child is. They're all beautiful in different ways," the actor gushed to Bustle in February 2023. "Potomac is stunning. Beverly Hills is an OG. New Jersey is unhinged. New York is classy — kind of. Atlanta is just funny, iconic, but Salt Lake City is just so dark. They're all different, but we love them all."

Ritter, for his part, added, "I'm definitely not like one of those like, 'My wife watches it…' I'm like, 'It's the night! We gotta see it.' I'm really into it. I like seeing a group of friends that's like an amorphous sort of blob of hurt feelings and coming back together and forgiveness, and all that stuff."

"It’s so energizing in a weird way, this film, because you come out and you go, 'OK now, f–k it. This is what we have to pay attention to. It all flows from this. If we don’t survive, we won’t be able to watch Housewives or whatever.'"
