In celebration of 20 years of "The Real Housewives" television, the author highlights some of the most memorable “friends of” in the show's history. These women have often been overlooked for their significant contributions to the franchise's popularity. Some have been perceived as less than regular housewives and fans, but this has changed recently due to equal treatment between housewives on the rebooted “The Real Houseswives of Miami.” and veterans like Cynthia Bailey have returned to the show as an opportunity to be seen, be paid, and be less involved in the mess. The author highlights Marlo Hampton, who brought couture to the series, as one of the best friends to ever do. Tanya Moore, Tanya de Moura, and Paris Hilton, the longest-running housewife on "RHOBH," are also mentioned.
