Andy Cohen didn’t build the Real Housewives empire alone, but he sure knew how to blow it wide open. The franchise didn’t just rewrite reality TV—it exploded it. From Jersey’s table-flipping Teresa to Nene Leakes’ “Who gon’ check me, boo?” in Atlanta, Real Housewives made history with jaw-dropping moments that became legends. But then came Salt Lake City.
