CREATOR ECONOMY NEWSLETTER

Issue #79 | Nov. 2, 2022

Reality television has a symbiotic relationship with the creator economy. As previously covered by Passionfruit, the reality TV star-to-influencer pipeline is real. Some reality TV stars are beloved pioneers in the creator world, some are notoriously successful social media monetizers, and others spark debate on controversial creator economy topics.

But less often discussed are the fans-turned-creators who have learned to capitalize on their passions for reality TV gossip, viral pop culture moments, and hot takes. This week, enjoy writer Tara Kenny’s thought-provoking and witty deep dive into the creators whose nose for gossip, sharp commentary, and archival know-how help preserve the cultural legacy of the mega-wealthy housewives we all know and love (or love to hate)⁠—the Real Housewives.
