“She’s one of those people who just has to be in front of a camera,” a source told Radar Online. “She tries to show up on the scene everywhere and she does a good job of it. She’s always been looking to get her 15 minutes of fame.”
The publication reports that when casting began for RHOD, Locken turned to friend Courtney Kerr – formerly the star of Bravo’s Courtney Loves Dallas and Most Eligible Texas – to help her convince Andy Cohen to cast her, the source claimed.
“She is such a wannabe,” said the insider. “She’s tried modeling, acting, anything to get in front of the camera!”
RHOD won’t be Locken’s first reality show, as she has appeared on TV Land’s She’s Got The Look and Oxygen's Big Rich Texas. She also has made cameos in such movies such as Miss Congeniality.
Locken's boyfriend, Rich Emberlin, is also a reality star! The police officer has appeared on Dallas SWAT and The First 48.
According to local reports, Locken already has been filming with rumored cast members Cary Deuber, Tiffany Hendra, Cynthia Smoot and Stephanie Hollman.
“Since they started filming, this certain group of girls who were not hanging out together suddenly started showing up at every single event together dressed to the nines,” the source revealed.
Despite reports claiming that Cynthia Smoot is one of the cast members, well she's not. Bravo reality stars are forced to sign confidentiality agreements prior to filming. Smoot in the other hand has been vocal about being a RHOD insider as she puts it in her Twitter bio and she's been covering RHOD events in her blog, therefore this eliminates her as an official cast member.
Rumored RHOD cast members are Brandi Redmond, Cary Deuber, LeeAnne Locken, Marie Reyes, Stephanie Hollman and Tiffany Hendra. These six ladies have been spotted filming throughout Dallas in various events, see photos below courtesy of our friends @RHousewives101!
