| They are grifters and grifters are always looking for the next con. They didn't understand the cons would run out and they'd be left holding the bag. |
Yes, the Todd Chrisley model. |
| Does he work? Haven't heard about any of her businesses. Without the show, what kind of income do they have? |
She's the sleaze. Kroy was a nice guy from a normal MC family. |
And then she broke him. |
Oh please. Water seeks its own level. Don't blame the jezebel for luring him, he's equally as irresponsible here. |
It’s sad. He and his parents don’t speak any more because of Kim. |
And Kim is long estranged from her own parents. |
| You cannot give poor people buckets of money. They don’t know what to do with it. |
| I’m very ashamed to know so much about this situation but I did for a short time in the mid 2000s work for nbcuniversal when bravo was just kind of morphing into what you know it to be now. You might be very surprised to know how much Kim made on her shows, housewives especially pays very little for the smaller city markets. Yes she earned some spin offs but they are paid per episode and it’s like 20-40k for 8-12 episodes if you are lucky. It’s not crazy money. The housewives that are paid a lot have 10 plus year or are already very famous when hired. What it is is a platform to make more money but what’s happened is now there are hundreds of housewives, when Kim started she was probably one of 24. And they all push the same pay walls, same instagram ads, same bravo met and greets etc…it’s just become completely over saturated. And now bravo is putting their money into younger and younger spin offs and the housewives are becoming an older and less lucrative market, especially the smaller cities. My point is she is no Teresa, there isn’t a 15 year span of her life on the shows with 7 books and multi life stories. She is a one trick pony who married an athlete which is what they all do. I know I am showing my age here but originally on the first housewives she had an opportunity to work with Kandi (who has a huge catalog and lives on song residuals) and I always thought if she could have worked with her and made a few cheeky songs that might have worked. Kind of what Erica Jayne and the countess did years later without the guide of someone so knowledge like Kandi. Also if you can’t pay your bills in Atlanta you will never make it in any other bravo market, it’s probably the least expensive area they film in. Even Dallas was getting more expensive before they cut it. |
I hear you but Kim had her own branded spinoff show and ample opportunity to build a platform. She sat around making babies, smoking cigarettes and letting her daughters cut on their faces and bodies. |
Thank you for this inside info. I used to watch when they started but the novelty has worn off. |
And Kim burned her bridge in working with Kandi when she stiffed her on royalties. |

They obviously lived way way beyond their means when it came to material possessions, staff, and vacations. They probably thought the revenue stream from their spinoff and influencer deals wouldn’t taper they way it did. And then add in several likely self-funded businesses (skincare line, swimsuit line, makeup line, probably a few others) that never took off and they seemingly just failed to acknowledge the reality of their decisions and situation.
Definitely sad because they were popular for a long time and had the ability to really bank money while living a very good life but lacked the ability to rein in crazy spending. |
| They try to keep the facade of ballers as long as possible to stay on Bravo but, eventually, the money and credit run out. |
