Joining the Real Housewives will cost you your dignity as well as some major coin. Siggy Flicker reveals how much new Housewives get paid.
Real Housewives of New Jersey alum Siggy Flicker is spilling the tea on just how much Housewives make for their first season on the franchise. Turns out Housewives actually lose money during their first season. Shocking.
While appearing on AllAboutTRH’s podcast, Siggy Flicker revealed that most women end up $150,000 in the hole following their first season of Real Housewives.
Siggy explained:
“First season housewives make $60,000 now after taxes. That’s about $30,000 after hair extensions, makeup, a wardrobe, going to parties, and having to be photographed with people that you have to pretend you’re friends with everybody. You’re drained. You are probably losing $150,000 the first year.”
When asked whether or not Housewives are asked or “pressured” to host events and parties, Siggy said, “No, what happens is that we are asked by production to hang out. We have to hang out because, listen, you’re doing a show about 5, 6, 7 women, and all those women really couldn’t give a shit about one another. But you’re doing a show.”
According to Siggy, most of the Housewives “never hand out in real life,” but “they have to hang out once or twice to have dinner.”
Siggy explained that she would get “a phone call from production” asking if she wanted to have dinner with this co-star or that co-star.
“All of a sudden, you make plans, and you have dinner, and you’re photographed, and you know, it’s always to get the fans excited, look at them hanging out, you know? I don’t watch the show, but I know that all the friendships on the show are not of that,” Siggy added.

Only the most out of touch people would say that $60 grand for 12 weeks of ‘work’ is too little. Only the most out of touch people would say 60 grand for a year’s work is nothing.
I agree,, that wasn’t cool for her to say .
Another great podcast! Siggy is such a great guest.
Love her or hate her, she’s spitting out facts.
Agree
She’s not spitting facts at all. She doesn’t have the access to know what all the housewives have made their first year. So she’s just spitting her opinion and to quote a wonderful line, ” Opinions are like *ssholes, everyone’s got one”. Apparently Siggy’s is full of s**t too…lol
Ok.
It’s been reported for years that HW make little money the first few years. I’ve always wondered how they did it with the cost of hair, makeup and clothes. That’s why the parties always look pretty basic because they have to pay for it out of their own pockets. Maybe they do need a union.
60k is not ‘little’.
After expenses and all they are asked by production to do? Yes, it is
Maybe it would be best if the HWs lived within their means and if they couldn’t afford it, didn’t go on to shows misrepresenting themselves as wealthy.
Who cares? Soggy is a MAGA lunatic. But thank you for confirming that she’s also a liar who pretended to like the other women when in fact she didn’t give a shit about each other. Her words, not mine.
Keep your politics to yourself and stop name calling…or go back to Reality Blurb where hate speech is permissible.
To quote the great Marlo Hampton from Atlanta, this is America baby and we have freedom of speech.
Really… Unless you are Donald Trump- Hypocrite.
???. Oof…

Not at all – just pointing out the obvious. You are so nasty.
I’de say He/she/who cares is more like a misfit. Yuck
Only culty MAGAs believe that trying to overthrow American Democracy is free speech. Eye roll.
First Amendment doesn’t protect all speech. You can’t yell fire in a crowded movie theater, and you can’t intimidate witnesses, or threaten judges and prosecutors and put their families in danger.
That’s correct.
READ what I wrote in response to her- she brought up FREE SPEECH. I said nothing about the first amendment. Miserable Fool.
Free speech is protected by the First Amendment, sorry you can’t connect the dots. And no need for name calling.
That’s a joke surely?
Typical snowfake MAGA. WAHHHHHHHHH
Typical misfit liberal.
F all MAGA HWs.
And you think these women really do care about each other? Then more than anybody, you needed to hear this. They don’t.
