Hold On To Your Diamonds! The Real Story Behind #RHOBH Opening Credits Has Been Revealed!

Hold on to your diamonds everyone, more secrets behind the Real Housewives franchise has now been revealed! The Real Housewives of Orange County have oranges, the New York ladies have apples,the Atlanta ladies have peaches and the Beverly Hills 'Wives...they have diamonds.


It turns out, however, the oversized diamonds were the second choice for the Season 1 opening credits. In an unseen moment from the RHOBH Uncensored Special, producers explain the backstory behind the image.

The ladies were originally meant to hold champagne flutes in the opening shot, but as Dave Rupel, Executive Producer of Season 1, explained, "We did the champagne, but in the wake of Kim being outed as an alcoholic, it felt in poor taste, and so I think we got diamonds by default."

I think it was a better choice considering how iconic the diamond in the intro is. It looks beautiful and certainly helps illustrate the glamour and opulence that has come to be expected from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.



After this revelation from the RHOBH producers, I wonder what will The Real Housewives of Potomac and The Real Housewives of Dallas will be holding in their intros? Any ideas? Sound off in the comment section below!
