Real Housewives Stars You May Not Know Died

Since the “Real Housewives“ universe first breathed life in 2006, we've been introduced to loud and colorful characters in cities around the United States. Many of these glamorous housewives have worked their way into household name status, including Bethenny Frankel, NeNe Leakes, and Lisa Vanderpump. Even though “Housewives“ is more known for wine-rants and wig-snatching, the show also features some surprisingly human and emotional situations, including the deaths of people involved with the show. Not all of the deceased were full time cast members, but each of these losses directly affected one or more of the housewives in a personal and painful way. These are the “Real Housewives“ stars you may not know died. #RealHousewives #RHONY #RealityTV Kandi Burruss' ex | 0:00 Kim Richards' ex | 1:45 Gretchen Rossi's fiancé | 3:32 Jill Zarin's husband | 5:16 Teresa Giudice's mother | 6:49 Vicki Gunvalson's mother | 8:14 Ta
