What These Former Real Housewives Of Dallas Are Up To Today
They say everything is bigger in Texas, and when it comes to the drama on "The Real Housewives of Dallas" — they weren't lying. The Bravo series debuted in 2016 and followed the personal and professional lives of Dallas socialites Stephanie Hollman, Brandi Redmond, LeeAnne Locken, Tiffany Hendra, and Cary Deuber. The cast saw a few shake-ups over the years, adding D'Andra Simmons and Kameron Westcott in Season 2 and Hendra bowing out after Season 1. Locken, who was a fan-favorite, left after Season 4, and Dr. Tiffany Moon and Kary Brittingham joined in for the fifth season.
When it came to drama, the franchise delivered with the ladies of "RHOD." There was hardly a dull moment during the show's tenure, with each season seeing broken friendships and over-the-top catfights. Mess with a bull and you get the horns — mess with the women of "RHOD" and you better hope there's no glass around for Locken to shatter.
After five seasons, Bravo announced it would not be bringing the Texan housewives back in 2022, much to the disappointment of fans. Per Variety, the future of these Dallas housewives remains unclear as Bravo has been known to later revive series that have been put on pause. Such was the case for the ladies of the "Real Housewives of Miami," so nothing is for certain in the circus that is "Housewives" and its many spinoffs. Since they're no longer gracing our televisions with their Texas charm, let's take a look at what the former "Real Housewives of Dallas" stars are up to today.
Brandi Redmond battled her husband's infidelity rumors
Brandi Redmond's undying sense of humor and her ability to have a good time just about anywhere made her a series favorite on the "RHOD." Her outspoken straight-shooter personality came in handy when her friendships were tested on the show, but no one was more shocked than Redmond herself when cracks surfaced in her own marriage. During Season 5, a video surfaced of her husband Bryan kissing another woman during a bachelorette party in Las Vegas. Redmond decided to stick by her high school sweetheart, however, saying at the time, "That man was there for me and is there for me, so I feel like I would be really a piece of s*** if I didn't, you know, be there for him because he's hurting too right now."
Since her days of filming the "RHOD," Redmond stuck by her husband. "I love you with every beat of my heart and every breath that I take. I will love you always and forever. I'm proud that we put our faith and family first and are examples of Gods love," the reality television personality wrote on an Instagram photo celebrating their wedding anniversary. Bryan isn't the only one Redmond remained faithful to, however, as she's still best friends with fellow housewife Stephanie Hollman. The two run a podcast together called "Weekly Dose of BS" alongside Trey Stewart. The podcast dishes on all things pop culture — including other "Housewives" franchises and interviews with special guests like Savannah Chrisley.
Karry Brittingham got a divorce
Kary Brittingham joined the ladies of the "Real Housewives of Dallas" for a brief run during its final season. The Mexico native was married to her long-time partner Eduardo for 12 years, and they share a daughter, Isabella. Ahead of the "RHOD" reunion special, Brittingham announced she and her husband were getting a divorce. "I've shared my life and my family with you on camera for the last two years — all of the ups and downs. As we go in to tonight's episode, I want you to know that Eduardo and I have made the very tough decision to separate. He has been the most amazing father these past 17 years to my four kids and for that I am eternally grateful," she wrote in an Instagram post.
Brittingham's cast mates reached out in support of their fellow star following the announcement, with Kameron Westcott tweeting, "My heart goes out to you @karybrittingham!! Always here for you!!" D'Andra Simmons also offered her sympathy, tweeting, "It takes great strength to not only show your relationship on TV, but to come clean about the hard parts. Wishing you love and happiness."
Now that her "RHOD" days are behind her, Brittingham keeps herself busy with her jewelry collection "Kamo by Kary." The entrepreneur hand-sources gemstones worldwide and makes the designs in her hometown of Dallas. The reality television star also took a trip to Antarctica in 2023, writing in an Instagram post, "I encourage anyone with an adventurous spirit to visit this beautiful Continent!"
Cary Deuber expanded her plastic surgery offices
Cary Deuber had plenty of rumors to push back against about her marriage to husband Mark during her time on the "Real Housewives of Dallas." As per Bravo TV, the registered nurse assistant used to babysit for Mark's family while he was married to his ex-wife, leading some of her cast mates to believe she had an affair. Both she and her husband defended their marriage, with Mark saying, "We didn't, but go ahead and believe it. It doesn't hurt us either way."
Despite the accusations about her marriage, Cary is happily married to her surgeon husband. While her days of filming the show might be over, her practice with her husband is still going strong. The two own Lemmon Avenue Plastic Surgery, and they have expanded their offices to Atlanta. "My injectors in Atlanta are some of the best in the country," she told OK! Magazine. "They're national trainers for the big brands and the big companies. I thought it would be great to have all of them under one umbrella."
She looks back on her "RHOD" fondly, telling OK!, "It was not a huge transition for me because I was just kind of going back to what I've always done. I think the transition has allowed me to grow my brand. Obviously, that platform [Housewives] really helped me grow my brand and get my name out there. I have cultivated this brand and really cultivated everyone that works here [Lemmon Avenue]."
D'Andra Simmons is still besties with her mom
D'Andra Simmons' up-and-down relationship with her mother Dee was front-and-center during her time on the "Real Housewives of Dallas." D'Andra often struggled to wrestle the reins of her mother's company, Ultimate Living, away from Dee. The entrepreneur, who has run the business for over two decades, was hesitant to give her daughter the power to make business decisions. Ultimately D'Andra took over as president and CEO of the company in 2018, and she and her mother are on good terms.
D'Andra frequently posts with her mother on Instagram, showing them baking Christmas cookies or having girls' nights out. The "RHOD" star even paid a visit to the Bravo land museum during 2022 BravoCon. "We paid a visit to #Bravoland at #BravoCon and saw @mommadeesimmons's wig in real life! A huge THANK YOU to @bravoandy for putting my Momma's wig in the Bravoland Museum," D'Andra wrote in an Instagram post.
While she may not be filming "RHOD" anymore, D'Andra hasn't left television behind for good. The actor has taken on a new role as a police officer in the Lifetime movie "My Daughter's Deadly Roommates." D'Andra took to Instagram to announce the news, writing, "Thank you to @therealandrewstevens @adambiddledp and @lifetimetv for allowing me to be a part of this film," adding, "I'm working on a lot more projects this year and having a blast pursuing my passion!" The former "RHOD" star is also keeping herself fit, posting workout videos to her Instagram with the caption, "Strong mind, strong body, strong business, LET'S GO!"
Dr. Tiffany Moon is TikTok famous
Dr. Tiffany Moon joined the ladies of "The Real Housewives of Dallas" in Season 5 after being introduced to the cast mates by her friend and fellow co-star D'Andra Simmons. As per her website, Moon is a board-certified anesthesiologist who has plenty of brains in addition to her beauty. The "RHOD" star, who graduated at the top of her medical class, now teaches as an Associate Professor of Anesthesiology.
Since her days on "RHOD," Moon has kept herself busy by being a digital influencer. The doctor boasts over 1.5 million followers on her TikTok channel, where she posts her shopping secrets, spoofs about her work in anesthesiology, and funny reels. Moon, who was a frontline worker during the Coronavirus pandemic, told Insider she didn't join the platform with the intention to share about her profession. "From the start, I didn't want my content to focus on medicine," she shared. "When I came home from the hospital, the last thing I wanted to talk about was work." The anesthesiologist quickly changed her tune, however. "People would comment 'What does an anesthesiologist do' and 'Can you talk more about work,' so I let my audience tell me what they want," she said.
Moon admitted to Us Weekly that she felt a weight lifted off her shoulders following the network's decision to put the series on hiatus. "To put yourself in situations where you kind of have to confront people and deal with issues, it was not my style. When they made the decision for us, I was like, 'Hallelujah.'"
LeeAnne Locken is shattering less glass off TV
No woman on the "Real Housewives of Dallas" was involved in more drama than LeeAnne Locken. The charity queen was known for starting fights, inserting herself into drama, and stirring up trouble on the show for the four seasons she was a cast member. Though many of the ladies constantly questioned her motives, she quickly became a fan favorite with each and every brawl she was involved in. There weren't any more glasses for Locken to break after Season 4, when she announced her early departure from the franchise.
Since her days of bringing her Texas-sized horns to the series are over, Locken has kept herself busy in the charity world. The Dallas socialite, who is passionate about giving back to those in need, showed up at the Dallas Resource Center in 2022 to raise money for their LGBTQIA+ outreach programs. As per Culture Map Dallas, $261,000 was fundraised for the Resource Center whose services are "designed to improve health and wellness, strengthen families and communities, and provide transformative education and advocacy."
Locken is also continuing to pursue her love of public speaking, which was one of her many hobbies while she was featured on "RHOD." She participated at the Dallas Women's Expo in 2022 as a keynote speaker, writing on Instagram at the time, "SOOO EXCITED to be a Key Note Speaker THIS SUNDAY at the @uwexpo." The public speaker remains close to her former cast mate Tiffany Hendra, and the two are frequently seen together in Locken's Instagram posts.
Kameron Westcott hired a diversity coach
Kameron Westcott was best known for her love of dogs and all things pink while on the "Real Housewives of Dallas." While her quirky personality made her interesting to watch, she ran into controversy when racist comments caused a spat between her and her Asian American cast mate Dr. Tiffany Moon. As per FemeStella, the drama began while filming the show when Westcott said she preferred her own dog food brand Sparkle Dog to cuisine from Moon's Chinese culture. When Westcott complained about the anesthesiologist wanting her to try it, Moon said in her confessional, "It's insulting when you try to share your culture with someone and they have such a strong negative reaction to something that is commonplace for your culture."
Things got even worse following the reunion when Westcott's husband Court wrote in a since-deleted tweet (via PageSix), "'Anti-racism' is racism. It discriminates by the color of ones skin. They tried that once in Germany, it did not work out well." Bravo then released a statement in defense of Moon that condemned the tweet. The Sparkle Dog founder went on the "Unfiltered" Podcast with Zach Peter following the final reunion episode, saying, "I felt horrible ... My communication wasn't the best ... sometimes things don't always come out when we react like we want them to."
Westcott admitted on the podcast that since filming wrapped she went on to hire a diversity coach to help learn more about micro-aggressions. "I do think everyone should learn these terms just so that everyone is aware and more cautious about their behavior."
Tiffany Hendra is a wellness coach
Tiffany Hendra was usually caught in the middle between her best friend LeeAnne Locken and her friendships with her other cast mates during her time on Season 1 of the "RHOD." Her calm demeaner made her easy to talk to, and she quickly became somewhat of a problem-solver in the group. Since her time on the show, she's put those skills to good use by becoming a life coach. As per Hendra's Instagram bio, she is "Obsessed [with] guiding women from just surviving [to] thriving!" She runs "The Coaching Sanctuary" which offers her clients six-week programs to get more comfortable in front of the camera and with public speaking. She also has a 90-day transformation and six-month accountability package. "Together, we address any mental or spiritual blocks that have been holding you back from achieving your dreams and living full out in your purpose. Together, we create a strategy to take aligned action steps to make your dreams a reality," Hendra writes on her website.
Hendra has kept herself busy since her days on reality television by being a TV host. She participated in the "My Wellness by Nature" television series where she had her own segment called "#SOTHRIVE with Tiffany Hendra." She took to her Instagram to announce the segment, writing, "When a deep intention, dream and soul goal becomes a reality!! Napoleon Hill teaches the importance of "Definiteness of Purpose" and I'm so grateful to Casey & Christian Sly for being as crazy devoted to our mutual mission and purpose to help heal the planet!"
Stephanie Hollman is focused on her family
Stephanie Hollman was all about her family during her five seasons on "The Real Housewives of Dallas." The mother of two was open about her struggles of parenting a child diagnosed with dyslexia, telling New Hampshire Women Magazine, "Patience is the most important thing you can have in a situation like this, and love your child. It's also very [important] to remind your child how special and talented they are!"
Since her time on "RHOD" has come to an end, Hollman is happily shifting her focus to spend more time with her two sons. As per a screen-grab obtained by the Instagram fan account Taste of Reality, when she was asked whether she was sad about the show going on hiatus, she responded, "If I am being honest — no. I started when my oldest was 5 years old and it was such a juggling act." Hollman went on to add, "I learned so much about life and myself during those years, but Chance is 12 and I really want to be the best mom I can be during these tough years. It's emotionally tough to be in the franchise and I felt like I was dying inside toward the end of the 5th year."
Her kids have grown up alongside her cast mate and best friend Brandi Redmond's children. The former reality television star posted an Instagram photo of her son Chance alongside Redmond's daughter Brooklyn writing, "@chance_hollman and @_brooklynredmond_ at tonight's basketball game. Aren't they the cutest?!"
These former RHOD stars still keep in touch
Fans will be delighted to know that a lot of the ladies of the "Real Housewives of Dallas" are still in touch today. It's no secret that Brandi Redmond and Stephanie Collman are still besties, and LeeAnne Locken is still close with former cast mate Tiffany Hendra. Cary still keeps in touch with some of her former cast mates, including Kameron Westcott and Locken. The Lemmon Avenue owner posed with her former cast mates in an Instagram photo, writing, "Housewives who lunch. Love catching up with my #RHOD girls."
Not all of the cast mates are still in touch, however. D'Andra Simmons admitted to Entertainment Tonight following Locken's departure after Season 4 that she isn't speaking to her former bridesmaid. "She was a very big part of the show, but we do not see eye to eye on several things and I think for me ... the social media got so out of hand, that I just can't go back to a friendship when things were said about me that were complete lies," Simmons revealed. She does keep in touch with Dr. Tiffany Moon, and the two posted an Instagram snap together at a Neiman Marcus Fashion Show in 2022.
