Beverly Hills
Housewife, Kyle Richards
has it all.
Background
Today reality shows like Real Housewives, Laguna Beach, and the Hills are about “perfect individuals”. Kyle Richards, from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is no exception to the Housewife ideal, a beautiful, wealthy mother with everything going for her. She is married to Mauricio Umansky, a supportive husband worth and estimated of 100 million, and together they have the perfect family.
The Real Housewives showcase the media’s idea of physical perfection, but also the mindset a woman is supposed to live in. These reality shows thus create unrealistic expectations on how a woman is suppose to look and the attitude women must embody, however, these shows may not be the most flattering representations of women. I argue that the media creates unrealistic expectations for women. that can pose a risk on an individuals mind and body.
