Diane Von Furstenberg Isn't A 'Housewives' Fan

The Real Housewives series on Bravo is all the talk these days, but one famous designer doesn’t like what is going on with the franchises.

Diane Von Furstenberg revealed that she doesn’t agree with how women are treated with these shows, states New York Magazine.

“You know what I don’t like right now about women in America? I don’t like when they are objectified in the ‘Housewives of Miami’ and the ‘Housewives of’ … you know?” the designer commented.

And when noted that the women choose to participate, she still felt that they are objectified in these roles: “They’re just being encouraged. I just want every woman to know that they can realize their potential — but their potential is not necessarily fake tits.”

Caroline & Andy Cohen Talk RHONJ Season 3

The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast must really dislike their former co-star Danielle Staub. When it was announced in September that Danielle would not be returning to the franchise for its third season, there were suggestions that other stars would not come back if Danielle did. Now, both N.J. housewife Caroline Manzo and Housewives honcho Andy Cohen say that it’s a good thing that she’s gone.

“Without Danielle, it’ll be great!’ Andy tells Hollywood Life exclusively.

“People worry that the show won’t be what it was. I’m glad it’s not what it was,” Caroline agrees. “Now, it’s drama that’s memorable.”

Expect some new people to be joining the cast this season. “There’s a couple of new faces,” Caroline states. “It’s a very different dynamic this year. It’s a lot of fun.”

“Jersey is filming right now,” Andy said at the Diane von Furstenberg Fall 2011 New York Fashion Week show. “It’s going really well.”

“It’s the best it ever was,” Caroline finalizes.
