Last night, Calla Lily’s mask came off on The Masked Singer, revealing Teddi Mellencamp’s smiling face underneath. For those who watched Teddi on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, you likely already guessed Teddi’s identity. That said, three out of four judges didn’t. And that was shocking, actually, because her clue package could not have been any clearer.

Last season, RHOBH’s Erika Jayne also starred on The Masked Singer. She entered this competition series as the beloved pup named Yorkie. But her clue package was just as easy to crack as Teddi’s. Or maybe I know far too many Real Housewives trivia facts.

Either way, The Masked Singer just said goodbye to another RHOBH star by way of Teddi. Here’s a recap detailing her clue packet, the judges’ predictions, and Teddi’s closing thoughts following her unmasking as the Calla Lily flower in Season 14.

All the clues Teddi Mellencamp was on The Masked Singer Season 14

Every contestant on The Masked Singer films a pre-recorded, lively teaser, complete with hints about their masked identities. These live-action videos air right before they perform. And that, plus the way each singer carries themselves, typically helps everyone guess their likenesses. However, only one judge correctly guessed Teddi’s name, so let’s take a look at Teddi’s clue package to understand why.

During week two, Calla Lily performed Rachel Platten’s hit track “Fight Song.” In her clue package, this character hinted about a recent, life-changing health diagnosis. And as RHOBH fans know, Teddi was diagnosed with stage II melanoma in October 2022. In February 2025, her cancer metastasized to her brain and lungs, and she remains in treatment today.

Then, during her appearance in week four, The Masked Singer observed the 250th birthday of the United States. So, Calla Lily suggested that one of her loved ones is well-known for their honoring of the U.S.A. “I can’t celebrate America and not mention an American legend,” she said, further teasing, “He’s an icon, but to me, he’s so much more.” Yes, she was talking about her father, recording artist John Mellencamp.

And finally, the judges received their last tangible clues: a gummy bear, a diamond house key, and a cougar T-shirt. Immediately, one of the judges realized Calla Lily’s identity.

Only one Masked Singer judge correctly guessed Teddi’s identity

After Teddi’s character performed “Jack and Diane,” one of her father’s iconic songs, the four judges continued to scratch their heads. However, this particular performance did make Jenny McCarthy rave about how much Calla Lily had “blossomed.” And then, in reviewing all of Calla Lily’s clues, this same judge’s ears finally perked.

“I see a house key, and I see a diamond. And that sounds like a Beverly Hills Housewife to me,” Jenny explained. “Put the clues together: gummy bear. Bear. Teddi. Cougar, dad’s nickname. Mellencamp. Cougar. This is Teddi Mellencamp from the Housewives,” Jenny accurately predicted.

But she also interjected some humbleness here by admitting that she “could be wrong.” However, the clue packages did point “in [Teddi’s] direction,” Jenny noted. And just in case she was right, Jenny next spoke to Teddi, who was still wearing her Calla Lily mask, saying, “I just honor your journey, girlfriend, and I feel so honored to have you here.”

After being voted off and forced to reveal her true identity, Teddi finally unmasked herself, making Jenny the only right judge on her panel.

Meanwhile, Rita Ora chose Selma Blair, while Ken Jeong guessed Christina Applegate. As for Robin Thicke, he stood ten toes down that Calla Lily was Danielle Fishel, since Danielle had recently been diagnosed with breast cancer.

Teddi gave an emotional message as her Masked Singer journey came to an end

Following her unveiling on The Masked Singer, Teddi took everything in. And then, she offered an emotional statement about her journey.

“I’m not a singer by trade, clearly, and so that part was challenging for me,” she began. “Also, a big part of my memory has been askew since my brain surgery. So I was a little bit nervous. But I was excited to push myself out of my comfort zone and try something new, and it felt like it gave me a little bit of life,” Teddi emotionally stressed.

Teddi’s life took a drastic turn following her 2025 health update. Instead of fighting over trivial matters on RHOBH, Teddi had no choice but to gather up her courage and fight for her life. In doing so, her days quickly filled with surgeries and treatment options to knock back her cancer. So, when we heard Teddi admit that The Masked Singer injected “a little bit of life” back into her steps, reality quickly settled into our hearts.

Three cheers for Calla Lily, otherwise known as Teddi.

The Masked Singer streams on Hulu, while Real Housewives of Beverly Hills streams on Peacock.

Erika Jayne claims to have much more joy and confidence these days. She says she owes this new attitude to her career “under the mask” on The Masked Singer Season 13.

In a recent video, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star discussed her experience on the show and how it changed her.

RHOBH’s Erika Jayne looks back at her time on The Masked Singer

While she was eliminated in Week 9, Erika’s Mask career transformed her. Disguised as the Yorkie, Erika wore a pink, bedazzled hoodie, a matching skirt, a pair of heart-shaped sunglasses, and a big pink hairbow.

The season finale “has me reflecting on my time under the mask,” she shared on Instagram. “I am so grateful to have been a part of the Lucky 13! Wishing the best of luck to the finalists. I’ll be tuning in tonight!”

“I had a really nice time,” Erika said in the video. “I actually enjoyed being behind the mask more than I thought I would, and I could not stop being Yorkie.”

The video also featured clips of Erika’s best moments on the show, in which celebrities perform live in front of a panel. With the singers’ faces disguised by elaborate costumes, the panel tries to identify them by their singing voice alone. Additionally, their speaking voices are electronically disguised. However, contestants can drop clues about their identity.

“There was a [time when] life sucked,” Erkia continued. “When I was fortunate enough to do The Masked Singer, it’s like the delight and the joy has reemerged in a different way. This is gonna sound corny, but I feel more confident. I took risks, and there’s a sense of freedom about that.”

According to Erika, the show allows contestants to step out of their comfort zone and perform incognito. “I cannot believe there are tears in my eyes right now,” Erika said, saying goodbye to her Yorkie mask. “There is something very special here. I had so much fun.”

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is available to stream on Peacock in the US and on Hayu in the UK and Ireland.

American Idol launched on the Fox network in 2002, offering thousands of homegrown musicians a shot at fame. Since its inception, 22 singers have walked away with a win, with another hopeful successor soon increasing this number once Season 23 wraps. These winners then went to work, increasing their standings in the entertainment industry following their appearances on American Idol. However, not all have traversed this path as well as others, as their current net worths and career gains have proven.

When we look at their albums sold and awards gained, alongside their overall impacts on the music and entertainment industries, several past winners are making more bank than others. So, we are now ranking them based on their stats and cultural influences on our lives.

But first, let us give props to these talented finalists who have also fared incredibly well. This list includes artists like Adam Lambert, Jennifer Hudson, Katharine McPhee, Chris Daughtry, Elliott Yamin, Clay Aiken, Kellie Pickler, Mandisa, and Fantasia.

5. Ruben Studdard

Ruben Studdard has a capital of $1.5 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. Ruben stole the show in Season 2 of American Idol, taking the lead over finalist Clay Aiken. His 2003 debut album, Soulful, reached the top of the Billboard 200 charts. Accordingly, his following five albums all reached the top 200 as well.

Ruben is best known for his hit song, Sorry, which dropped in 2004. Following his win on American Idol, Ruben has received nominations for multiple awards, including the American Music Awards, the Billboard Music Awards, the Teen Choice Awards, and the Grammys.

He has also appeared on The Biggest Loser, Broadway, and The Masked Singer, and yes, the latter two also featured his former rival-turned-friend, Clay. Ruben and Clay were a pair of beets on Season 11 of The Masked Singer, which we loved.

We see you, Ruben. And we appreciate your soulful vibes in the Gospel industry.

4. Scotty McCreery

According to Celebrity Net Worth, musician Scotty McCreery has an estimated net worth of $4 million. Scotty took the win during Season 10 of American Idol. Ever since his win arrived, his star has been on the rise.

Scotty released his debut album, Clear as Day, in 2011. This album went certified platinum, encouraging Scotty to release four additional albums. His most recent album, Same Truck, includes the hit single called You Time, which topped the U.S. Country Airplay chart and is now stuck on a loop in my brain. So, YAY.

Following his American Idol win, Scotty has won an Academy of Country Music Award, a CMT Music Award, two American Country Awards, and three BMI Country Awards. In 2023, Scotty’s induction into the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame happened, further impressing us, as his career began at the ripe young age of only 17.

3. Jordin Sparks 

Meanwhile, Celebrity Net Worth places Jordin Sparks with $8 million to her name. Jordin appeared in Season 6 of American Idol, which aired in 2007. She placed first this season, making her the youngest winner yet at age 17. Following her stint on this series, her career blew up.

In 2007, Jordin released her Grammy-nominated debut album, selling over three million copies worldwide. She then released three additional albums, including a mixtape and four EPs. Jordin has also toured with well-known artists like Britney Spears, Alicia Keys, the Jonas Brothers, and the Backstreet Boys, making her one of the most culturally relevant winners on Idol, only bested by the remaining two winners on this list.

Additionally, Jordin has eight Hot 100 singles to her name. She has also starred in two Broadway musicals and helped write a hit single for Ariana Grande via The Way. Consider us seated for whatever Jordin decides to do next.

2. Carrie Underwood 

Celebrity Net Worth places Carrie Underwood at the top of this list, revealing an estimated $120 million attached to her name. Her ranking as a successful winner of American Idol from seasons past is hard to call. Overall, Carrie and our number-one winner on this list are tied. Both women act as glass-ceiling-breakers for women in the entertainment industry, so both deserve a winning spot in our hearts.

Carrie stole the show in Season 4 of American Idol. Following her win, Carrie released nine albums, earning her eight Grammy Awards, 12 Billboard Music Awards, and 17 American Music Awards. Additionally, Carrie made history as the highest-certified female country artist of all time, selling over 70 million records worldwide. Showing her star power knows no genre or limits, TIME Magazine labeled Carrie as an influential person in 2014.

These days, Carrie has returned to her roots. She is now a judge on the series that first made her famous, American Idol.

1. Kelly Clarkson

Kelly Clarkson has an estimated $50 million to her name, according to Celebrity Net Worth. However, her impact on the entertainment world is far-reaching and seemingly never-ending. Kelly was also the first winner of this series, helping to spark an interest in music for thousands of little girls across our lands. These facts are why we are now placing Kelly in our number one spot on this list.

Following her win on Season 1 of American Idol, Kelly released ten albums, selling over 25 million copies worldwide. She became the first-ever artist to top multiple Billboard charts, including pop, adult contemporary, adult pop, country, and dance chart genres. Likewise, Kelly has also nabbed five Daytime Emmy Awards, four American Music Awards, three MTV Video Music Awards, and two Academy of Country Music Awards.

Now, Kelly is the proud host of The Kelly Clarkson Show, an Emmy award-winning talk show, making Kelly our top-ranked American Idol winner thus far.

Season 13 of The Masked Singer is now airing. As soon as her voice sounded in group C, singing the words to Hot to Go, we had one thought: that Yorkie is Erika Jayne.

Erika has been sharing her story on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills for nine seasons. Therefore, we have grown familiar with her voice, in all its many forms, rather well. We are also well-educated on her dance poses, various life struggles, and her signature shades of sass, which mirror those of the Yorkie this season on The Masked Singer. If anyone remains on the fence about our prediction, let us help unpack the clues we have already witnessed, which signal that Erika will soon get revealed as the face behind the sparkly all-pink Yorkie costume.

Lisa Vanderpump must be so proud. But also probably not.

Who is the Yorkie on Masked Singer?

The Yorkie on Masked Singer is likely Erika Jayne.

The character debuted in group C. As a later group, this pup made her first appearance on the March 26 episode of The Masked Singer Season 13. Hot to Go! by Chappell Roan was her first song. Her performance left her four panelists confused, yet pleased, at the end of this routine.

The judges could not guess who Yorkie was. Their predictions first centered around Chelsea Handler, Paris Hilton, Kyle Richards, and Teresa Giudice. But during the Boy Band Night, the Yorkie sang Step by Step by New Kids on the Block, where finally, the name Erika sounded.

As for the person who chose this costume, Yorkie explained, “Becoming Yorkie is kismet. We’re both sassy, fashion-forward, and, dare I say it, popular. But don’t be fooled by the designer dog looks. I’ve still got a bite,” this Yorkie quipped, sounding like our little “OR WHAT?” Erika.

“Yorkies were bred to catch rats, which is a good skill to have when you’ve been through everything I’ve been through,” Yorkie continued, adding, “And girl, I’ve been through a lot of crazy stuff. One minute, you’re so hot. Next, it’s your time to go.”

Yorkie then revealed that she had music, which “rescued me in my darkest hours and has led me here.” Like Yorkie, Erika has also used music to escape awful timelines, making us think that Yorkie is Erika.

RHOBH’s Erika Jayne has vocals just like The Masked Singer’s Yorkie

5, 6, 5, 6, 7, 8! YORKIE SOUNDS JUST LIKE ERIKA. The song Hot to Go contains lyrics that are both spoken and sung. Listen to this little pink bow-wow as she switches gears, performing these lyrics in a voice that, if not hers, could double as a voice twin for Erika. Also, the dance movements this Yorkie hit mimicked ones we have seen before from Erika on RHOBH.

Following this performance, Yorkie said, “I was down bad, but then a lovely lady in Beverly Hills adopted me. Now I’m wearing Chanel and eating caviar.” Thanks to the voice-altering technology used for the pre-taped interview clips, we could not tell if this voice belonged to Erika, but the words within this statement sound very RHOBH-coded if you ask us.

When Yorkie next sang Step by Step, we (again) heard only Erika hiding underneath that costume. Erika is a solid performer with an unmistakable style of singing and dancing. Presenting mostly as an Alto, the notes and steps Erika has hit on Bravo and then again on The Masked Singer are far too similar to ignore. These familiar vocals make us think that Erika is Yorkie on Season 13 of The Masked Singer.

Do Yorkie’s Masked Singer clues point to Erika Jayne?

Apart from her vocals and dance moves, the Yorkie has faced struggles, like Erika. During her second performance, the Yorkie character compared herself to a boy band with all the headlines her life has caused. When she walked onto the scene, the fans adored her, she stressed. But everything changed after she found herself “wrapped up in a major scandal, paying for someone else’s choices.”

This clue sounds like Tom Girardi, her estranged, since disbarred attorney husband, who made headlines in 2020 with allegations of fraud and embezzlement. This narrative saw Erika on the defensive, as many accused her of profiting off the backs of orphans and widows. Erika maintained her innocence, and no judges have yet to find her guilty of any crime.

Similarly, several on-screen hints also suggest that Erika is Yorkie. Her video packages include a diamond ring, poker chips, her name on a billboard, “scandal,” and a peach pie. Let us break these clues down now.

All full-time RHOBH stars carry a diamond in their hands during the intro of their series. As for the poker chips, Erika once held a Bet It All on Blonde residency in Las Vegas. Erika has also seen her name in lights via her Broadway performances. The scandal part we already covered, but even the peach pie part tracks, as Erika was born in Atlanta, where peaches reign supreme.

All these narratives match, suggesting that Erika is the Yorkie in Season 13 of The Masked Singer.

The Masked Singer is streaming on Hulu.

It’s official! The bat was revealed to be Scheana Shay on The Masked Singer Season 13. And while her time on the show was slightly short-lived, Scheana shares that she was grateful for the opportunity to step outside her comfort zone and face her fears.

On the heels of her exit from The Masked Singer, Scheana discussed how it felt trading Vanderpump Rules for the singing competition. She also shared why being on Masked Singer trumped her years-long dream of doing Dancing with the Stars.

“This was my Dancing with the Stars,” she shared with Too Fab. “I always had pictured myself on Dancing with the Stars since the first season. I never pictured myself on The Masked Singer. If you went back in time and asked little Scheana, ‘Do you think one day you’ll be on national primetime television singing in a costume of a bat?’ No. To get this opportunity felt so amazing.”

Masked Singer Season 13 was “such a fun experience” for Scheana Shay

“I’d rate this experience a 10 out of 10,” Scheana told Entertainment Tonight enthusiastically. “Five stars, literally such a fun experience. I’m bummed it was so short-lived. But I’m like, you know better to leave early and leave them wanting more than like ‘why is she still here?’”

She added that it was one of the best experiences of her life.

She shared that the show helped her face her fears. It also gave her that confidence boost she feels she’s lost a bit in 11 years of being on reality TV. “Whether I sound good or not, whether I get made fun of or not, I’m accomplishing something huge for myself,” she said. “And I’m really freaking proud. I hope my daughter is too.”

Being the bat on Masked Singer also gave Scheana some freedom to separate herself from the “villain” character she’s often been portrayed as on VPR.

Scheana was eliminated after her performance of Sabrina Carpenter’s Espresso. And while she was sad to go, she’s looking forward to what comes next. She has her memoir coming out this summer and she said she’d love to do a show like The Traitors. Maybe on that show she could put that villain experience to good use!

The Masked Singer airs on Fox, Wednesdays at 8/7c.

Believe it or not, Fox is on Season 13 of The Masked Singer. Yes, this show has been going on for 13 seasons, so they’re probably starting to get a little desperate for contestants. This season, it looks like we’re getting some Vanderpump Rules stars in the mix.

Season 12 premiered last week, and two characters seem to be hinting that they’re from the Bravo universe. We’ve already seen Tom Sandoval compete on the show. Who’s next?

Is there a Vanderpump Rules takeover on The Masked Singer Season 13?

The two characters in question in Season 13 are a Bat and a Yorkie. Yorkie is dressed like Paris Hilton in the 2000s, with fuzzy pink boots and a mini skirt. The Bat has an edgier look, with black leather tights and boots. Although they didn’t perform in the February 12 premiere, Us Weekly got a sneak peek into some clues that make it pretty clear these two are from the Bravo world.

In one snap, Bat and Yorkie can be seen “fighting” in the alley behind SUR. The outlet suggested this could be a hint that Kristen Doute and Stassi Schroeder were under the masks. The only issue is that Kristen is very pregnant right now, so she probably didn’t dress up like a bat to parade around in the SUR alley for these promo pictures.

Bat and Yorkie posed at iconic Pump Rules locations

The photo shoot continued inside of Vanderpump Dogs, where Yorkie went on a “shopping spree.” Maybe this could be one of those disgruntled employees who claimed they endured “intolerable work conditions” at Lisa Vanderpump’s business. After 13 seasons of this show, you really never know.

For us, the most obvious choices for these two characters are Katie Maloney and Ariana Madix. The Bat is giving big Katie energy, and it’s not hard to imagine Ariana dressing up like a Yorkie, posing around Vanderpump Dogs. Plus, Yorkie is wearing heart-shaped glasses. Perhaps that could be a small clue hinting at her hosting gig on Love Island USA?

Unfortunately, we’ll have to tune into Season 13 of The Masked Singer to see which Bravolebs are behind these costumes. Once more clues start to roll in, it probably won’t be too hard to identify these gals.

The Masked Singer airs on Fox, Wednesdays at 8/7c.

The Masked Singer held their Transformers night on April 10, with the competition growing stiff at its sixth episode. The episode featured two eliminations, one of which saw The Bachelor’s own Colton Underwood heading home.

Colton masqueraded as the Lovebird. As part of the season’s first group, his first performance was “Home” by Philip Philips. His clue packages hinted at a past of romance and reality TV acclaim. But only one judge pinned his past.

Colton Underwood is Season 11’s Lovebird

On the April 10 episode of The Masked Singer, Lovebird gave his final performance – “All That You Are” by Goo Goo Dolls. He didn’t know at the time it would be his last song but such is the way on The Masked Singer. After the performance, the judges agreed that Lovebird was among “the hardest” identities to pin down.

Jenny McCarthy picked up on some common themes: “Our clues before were about romance, and then we see tonight, reality TV. I was thinking before The Bachelor, but I was thinking Nick Viall.” However, she course-corrected. “Then, also, I’m vacillating between someone else – somebody I interviewed on my radio show – Colton Underwood.”

Still, Jenny was a bit torn: “Colton’s story goes more with Lovebird, but I feel like Nick Viall has the musical chops, so, I’m going to give you both, how’s that?”

When Colton was unmasked, he was extremely grateful to have competed. “I worked my entire life playing football, I never got to experience the arts,” he said. “So, thank you for letting me go back in the past and explore that creative kid. I’ve had so much fun on this show.”

The Masked Singer continues Wednesdays at 8/7c on FOX.

It’s been a tough year for Savannah Chrisley and her brother, Chase Chrisley. Since they turned their parents over to the prison guards to begin their years-long sentence for fraud, the two eldest Chrisleys have been hard at work. 

Savannah appeared on Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test alongside Tom Sandoval. She has also used her podcast, Unlocked, to share more about her parents’ mistreatment behind bars and advocate for change. 

Her latest venture was on Fox’s The Masked Singer. In a new interview with People, the reality star shared more about her experience, what led her to say yes to the experience, and what she learned from participating in it. 

Savannah on Masked Singer: Not taking life too seriously

For those who didn’t know, Savannah was recently unmasked during Season 11 of The Masked Singer. She competed as the Afghan Hound and sang “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” by The Tokens. Even though she was the first eliminated, she didn’t go in with high expectations. She did, however, want to prove something to herself. 

“This is my year of just saying yes, and especially after everything that happened with my parents and [my ex] Nic [Kerdiles],” she said, speaking about the latter’s death after a fatal motorcycle crash. “I’m like, ‘You know what? Don’t take life too serious. Laugh, have fun, make fun of yourself, and just go for it.’ That was really the main reason why I did it.”

Contestants are required to keep their identities a secret while competing on the show. But, Savannah said she broke that rule rather quickly. However, it was for all the right reasons.

“I told [my parents to give them] something to look forward to because I know that they can watch it [from prison],” she revealed. “That was really the main purpose of doing it, was just because I wanted them to get to be a part of it and get to watch it and laugh and kind of make a joke out of it with me.”

Despite not winning, Savannah got something better out of competing. “It showed me that I was able to go outside my comfort zone and not try to control so much,” she said. “I was able to laugh at myself and realize that, hey, you don’t have to be embarrassed. It’s okay to laugh at yourself sometimes. Life’s a heck of a lot more fun that way.”

The Masked Singer Season 11 continues March 20 on Fox.

The ladies on Real Housewives already have a massive platform via Bravo. However, many of these wise women have taken their fame online, widening their reach while lining their pocketbooks in turn. You see, as their recognition from their series grows, so does their follower count. With this larger fan base, these reality television stars can then sell, well, anything, making huge profits in return.

To be fair, all of these personalities are online, utilizing at least one platform to help promote their series and/or their lifestyles. Yet, when it comes to playing the posting game well, several of these females reign supreme. From sponsored ads to their own side hustles, these ladies are making bank. If you’re curious as to who we’re speaking about, read on, as we list the Real Housewives with the savviest social media presences to date.

Kandi Burruss

When Kandi Burruss wasn’t filming for Real Housewives of Atlanta, she’s often online, hustling all of her many side hustles and projects. She was the longest running Housewife in the franchise’s history. Kandi knows how to stay present, both on-air and off. She’s also rich, b*tch. In fact, Kandi’s Instagram bio alone links to 5 different organizations that bring her an additional income outside of RHOA.

In addition to self-promotion usages, Kandi also pops online every now and then, offering advice to her followers. We find this to be a nice, personal touch. Overall, almost every single post of Kandi’s is used to either promote herself, her projects, or her loved one’s businesses. On this, we cannot hate, we can only appreciate Kandi’s savvy social media presence.

Kyle Richards

Kyle Richards is an OG cast member on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. She’s also the aunt of Paris Hilton, alongside being a child actress, whose film career remained active as an adult. For all of these reasons, Kyle’s social media following has always been high. Therefore, Kyle’s getting paid, like, a lot, just for a few simple posts here and there.

Online, Kyle promotes a massive amount of products. From hair care lines to health and wellness apps to even her daily attire, Kyle has no shame in the self-promotion game. Clearly, this Real Housewives star knows what she’s doing, as her savvy social media pages are helping her to do the splits all the way to the bank.

Ashley Darby

Ashley Darby has had some rough seasons on Real Housewives of Potomac. That said, her posts online are nothing short of happiness and light. Ashley’s dancing reels are commonplace these days, and each one makes us smile. This girl has rhythm in spades, and we love seeing her happy post split from Michael Darby.

Moreover, Ashley has a “coming soon” link that was just posted on her Instagram bio last month. When clicked on, this page links to a shop co-owned by herself and her costar, Gizelle Bryant. The pair are currently teaming up for a product launch, and yes, this linked-to-account also features a dancing video of the pair, because Ashley stays true to her brand. We have to give Ashley credit, as her savvy social media posts are consistently entertaining, which is a nice contrast to her often scandalous Real Housewives storylines.

Luann de Lesseps

Even though Luann de Lesseps is no longer starring on Real Housewives of New York, she’s still starring around the States, performing cabaret for the masses. Online, Luann posts reels from her various performances, despite the negative commentary that sadly often follows. Similarly, Luann uses her online presence to help promote her other projects, such as Welcome to Crappie Lake and her stint on The Masked Singer.

Overall, Luann’s online presence is filled with thirst traps and travels, alongside multiple teases of her aforementioned side hustles. We love that Luann is confident in herself, and we hope that her savvy social media posts continues to see haters ignored, as she racks in the coins singing “Chic c’est la vie, c’est bonne, c’est bonne.”

Heather Dubrow

Heather Dubrow‘s massive showings of wealth on Real Housewives of Orange County isn’t something that most can relate to, but that’s what makes her so interesting to watch. Fittingly, her online presence follows suit. Case in point, just last month, Heather posted about how to make a grilled cheese sandwich for the mere cost of $500.00, and yeah, we watched the entire reel. Spoiler alert, this sandwich didn’t even use real cheese.

To her credit, Heather does share several relatable images of herself with her children and her spouse…which are all mostly taken from exotic locations, but hey. Heather is nothing but consistently unrelatable, both on-air and off, but we low-key love this about her. We need Heather’s savvy social media posts and presence to continue, as they offer us normies a window into a world that we will likely never live.

Larsa Pippen

Larsa Pippen might be known for annoyingly saying “how do you know” on Real Housewives of Miami, but when it comes to her social media presence, she knows full well what she’s doing. More than half of Larsa’s posts contain links to a paying affiliate. With roughly 3K posts and counting, we can only assume just how much she’s earning. From jewels to fashions to flirty poses in bikini’s, Larsa gets more attention online than most.

Currently, Larsa’s loose lips are sinking storylines over on RHOM. Nevertheless, Larsa maintains her savvy online presence, and honestly, we admire her hustle.
