In April 2016, the Real Housewife’s franchise added another installment to its list. This time around, the action centered on a group of housewives in Dallas and compromised of the usual mix of gossip, drama, and luxe lifestyles we’ve come to expect. The series is already 3 seasons down, with a fourth due to premiere on September 4, 2019. Fans of the show will be relieved to know that with the exception of Cary Deuber (who’ll be transitioning from a full-time cast member to a “friend”), all their old favorites from season 3 will be returning. There’ll also be a new addition in the form of Kary Brittingham and the return of Tiffany Hendra (last seen in season 2) as a guest.
Stephanie Hollman
Originally a native of Oklahoma, Stephanie Hollman now lives in Dallas with her husband, Travis, and their two sons, Chance and Cruz. Known for not being afraid to speak her mind, Hollman is keen to put the drama of last season behind her, a task she may find easier to manage thanks to her new bond with LeeAnne Locken. The pair struck up an unlikely friendship after they discovered they both had a shared history of depression. Whether the bond will be strong enough to survive the test of reality TV, we wait to find out.
LeeAnne Locken
Strong, feisty, and never one to shy away from voicing her opinions, LeeAnne Locken is guaranteed to bring the drama. As a former Miss USA finalist, Locken has been involved in the entertainment business for years, appearing in several films and hosting numerous TV programs. She’s also enjoyed the distinction of having one of her commercials selected as one of “America’s Funniest Commercials” by ABC. In April 327, 2019, Locken married her longstanding boyfriend of 10 years, Rich Emberlin, at the Cathedral of Hope in Dallas, finally putting an end to the years of speculation from her fellow castmates that the wedding would never happen. Like Hollman, Locken has a history of mental health problems, which leaves her struggling to maintain her cool when conflicts arise… as, given the nature of the series, they so often do.
Brandi Redmond
Five-time Dallas Cowboys cheerleader Brandi Redmond may be a fun-loving southern charmer, but her sense of humor can sometimes get her into trouble with her fellow castmates, as can her habit of saying exactly what she’s thinking, when she’s thinking it. Brandi currently resides in Dallas with her husband, Bryan, and their 3 children, daughters Brooklyn Redmond (born 2009), and Brinkley Redmond (born 2012), and their adopted son, Bruin Charles Redmond (born December 31, 2017). Brandi and her husband decided to adopt Bruin after struggling to conceive a third child. Although they hadn’t initially thought about adopting, a chance phone call from a friend led them to Bruin, a premature newborn that had been given over to the state by his teenage parents. Brandi and Brinkley immediately flew to Dallas to meet the child, promptly fell in love, and a short time later, welcomed him into their family.
D’Andra Simmons
As a member of one of Dallas’ most prominent families, D’Andra Simmons has all the wealth and status you could wish for- although neither, of course, means she’s any more immune to the catfights and power struggles of RHOD than anyone else. D’Andra has recently been caught up in a battle with Mama Dee over the family business, Ultimate Living Nutritional Supplements, something that shows no sign of coming to an end anytime soon. To further complicate matters, her newfound friendship with Brandi turns the group’s previous alliances on their head. On the home front, D’Andra is happily married to her husband of four years, Jeremy Lock, a former Master Sergeant of the Air Force. Unfortunately, her love life hasn’t always been so sweet: in 2018, D’Andra opened up to Fox about the catalog of abuses she suffered at an ex-boyfriend’s hands. As well as experiencing mental abuse, D’Andra also suffered broken fingers, internal bleeding, and a fractured skull. She eventually managed to end the relationship after receiving help from a woman’s shelter. Today, she’s a fierce advocate of victims of abuse and tries to use her own experiences to help others.
Kameron Westcott
Originally from Montecito, California, Kameron Westcott moved to Dallas when she enrolled as a student of Fine Arts at Southern Methodist University. While there, she met her husband, Court, a member of the prominent Westcott family. The pair currently resides in Highland Park with their two children, Hilton and Cruise, and their pets, a Russian Bulldog called Chunk, and a Yorkie called Louis Vuitton. Over the past couple of years, Westcott has put her talents for design and her love for dogs to good use, launching both a grain-free dog food line, Sparkle Dog Food, and a range of handmade dog clothes (for those days when fur just isn’t enough), BabyLou Pooch Couture. If her personal website is anything to go by, she’s also a massive fan of pink and exclamation marks.
Kary Brittingham
Season 4 introduces us to a brand new housewife in the form of feisty Kary Brittingham, a Guadalajara, Mexico, native who has no hesitation in coming forward with her opinions. After being introduced to the group by D’Andra (the two are close neighbors), she seemed to be getting along smoothly enough, until trouble began to boil over with LeeAnne Locken. Kary was initially conflicted about whether to join the show, but eventually decided it was an opportunity too good to waste. “I love an adventure and this has been definitely that!” she’s said. “I have met amazing new people and I’m making life long friends along the way. I’m learning every day and growing as a person. This will be the biggest roller coaster ride, so excited to share this with all of you.”
