Real Housewives of D.C.: Bravo airing series on Election Day
Nov 05, 2024
WASHINGTON (DC News Now) -- Before Bravo shined a light on the DMV with The Real Housewives of Potomac, there was the one-and-done iteration of the housewives franchises that centered on life in the District, itself: The Real Housewives of D.C. (RHODC).
Bravo revisited the single season of RHODC for Election Day, airing it on the network, beginning Tuesday morning.

The series focused on five women: Mary Schmidt Amons, Lynda Erkiletian, Catherine Ommanney, Stacie Scott Turner, and Michaele Salahi.

The show largely is remembered for the controversy that came in 2009 after Salahi and her husband essentially crashed the first state dinner hosted by then President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama at the White House. Officials said the couple did not appear on any guest list for the event.
