David Foster was in British Columbia early this month for yet another fundraiser. That man does a lot of fundraising! While he was there he gave an interview that revealed why someone as rich as Yolanda agreed to do the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in the first place.
It really was obvious if you were paying attention. The lemons, the cleanses, the refrigerator to die for, Suzanne Somers dropping by to discuss bioidentical hormone therapy, the exercising scenes. It truly does all make sense now.
Click through for all the tea! 
In addition to his newly minted executive job, the past few years have brought new developments in Foster’s personal life — in November 2011 he married his fourth wife, Dutch model and TV personality Yolanda Hadid Foster.
The 49-year-old has since become a cast member on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” the reality franchise known for glitz-framed boozing and backstabbing. But the show has little impact on Foster’s life, he said.”It doesn’t affect me at all. She’s doing it for a specific reason, and her reason is that she wants to have a … lifestyle and fitness show. She’s very good at it and she’s very good at giving advice,” he adds of his wife, who has hosted a similar program in her native Netherlands.
“She’s also been sick with Lyme disease for going on two years now, so she’s battling that, and she wants to tell her story. So she thinks — and she’s right — that (the) Beverly Hills housewives show is a platform for her to tell her Lyme story and to get her point across and then to catapult her to the show that she ultimately wants to do.
“The Beverly Hills show, like she says, is just a bunch of clowns trying to make a living,” he adds. “It’s a show about nothing basically but people seem to like it. Yolanda seems to enjoy it and I think she comes across very classy on the show and doesn’t really engage much in all the banter that goes on.”
I kind of hope he’s Kelsey Grammering her. I know that’s mean. But she’s so pretentious. And he is probably one of the worst people on earth.
Lmao! That would be hilarious. She is a bit smug, but I’m not that mad at her, alas, I can be pretty smug myself
Pretentious is exactly the word that came into my mind the other night after she bragged once again about what a “girl’s girl” she is and the rest of her little condescending speech to kyle, and then she excused herself (with quite the expression on her face) to go use the bathroom before anyone else could say a word. She gets on my nerves. You can totally tell that she really does think that she’s perfect, even if she tries to once in a while say things like “I’m not perfect.”, that’s just to try to make herself look more perfect. Lol
Omg…pigs have flown hell has frozen over-I agree 100% with what TeeCee says!!!
Yay!!
You sensed it two years before it happened. I was thinking the same thing a couple of days ago. It seems Yo’s house was on the market back in 2012 (pretty sure of that). I think that TT was right in that this was more of a marriage of convenience; a business arrangement if you will.
And just like all the other proclaimed classy ladies who come on this show her fall from grace is inevitable. Slowly she’s putting on the white makeup and red nose and joining the circus. I hope she doesn’t plan on staying another season because it’ll be her turn to play the bad guy next. This season she is showing the side that she chose to keep in blog form last season. He must not watch the show (I’m positive he doesn’t) because this season she’s becoming as sour as those lemons she adores. If she makes a charity that has the words lemons and Lyme I will die.
Like TeeCee referred to the epic Kelsey Grammer debacle I believe if she stay on this show long enough to become an embarrassment (next season) in his eyes he WILL leave. i think his reputation trumps all for him and Andy only gives you one to two seasons of nice edit. Bravo likes to build the favorites up and bring them down, especially if they aren’t profitable and let’s face it Yolanda isn’t the next Martha Stuart, Gweneth Paltro, or even Bethanny.
Good posts but why is Gweneth Paltro thrown into this mix? I wouldn’t consider her ultra successful. Everyone was pissed off when she was named “Most Beautiful” woman by People Mag. Let’s face it, she isn’t ugly, but she isn’t beautiful either.
I think Yolanda is very beautiful, and if I was as sick as her, I’d be a bitch as well.
Um. Gwenyth Paltriw IS very beautiful. And she has won an AcDamy Award. She’s miles above anyone else mentioned.
Jesus. I can’t type this morning.
I added Gweneth paltro not for her acting but for Goop. Her online lifestyle, diets, and fashion magazine. Before Kanye $200 dollar T-shirt there was the Goop $90 “must have perfect” plain T-shirt.
gwn is ok. she is NOT stunning. that is aussie beauty miranda kerr.
and so what she has an oscar. oscars ohave lost credability.
plus look at her career since then.
Bwahahah!!! Oh my gawd!! Not only is your post on point, but it’s freakin Highlarius!
Well played!
How very right you were Tasha!
Wow. I just reread Tasha’s comment. Prescient.
This is hilarious, you all called it!! David Foster left, Yolanda is very sick and will likely jump up soon with a cure which she and her children will be marketing soon.
considering how awful some of the treatments she claims she is trying for the lyme disease are (no reason to disbelieve her but no proof either) and how she has already said they have not worked (and may have made things worse), i don’t know who would be stupid enough to give her a show like that. no gauging how stupid some network execs are, tho.
I think with her husband’s money and connections she would have been better off using a different route to achieve that goal. I think she could probably have had a pretty decent show (she could have started small like Rachel Ray) with her knowledge, her looks and her soothing voice. Like a full well being show. I think that her being on HW is going to work against her with something like this.
Yolanda is pretentious. She’s entitled. She’s smug. The worst part of it is that she’s actually perfect. haha
Actually, I would like to downgrade “I can’t stand her” (a bit of an exaggeration) to “she irks me” (which at times she does).
Off topic but Tamara. Have you listened to Brandi’s podcast? She is actually a very good interviewer. WAAAAY better than Bethenny. She actually lets the guest TALK, seems to listen to them and her questions are good as well. She carries herself well on that show.
I could see a syndicated radio show, or talk show in Brandi’s future. That seems to fit her. I was shocked at how natural she was on the show.
Yes I agree! Tamara you should listen to Brandi’s podcast I think you can listen at the podcast one website ,she’s actually pretty good .but back to Yolanda I could never take lifestyle advice from someone who does the lemon cleanse or tells their daughter to eat half an almond lol.
I like Yolanda because she speaks her mind and doesn’t play games and is classy. Just my opinion.
She doesn’t play games? Like rolling her eyes and looking to her right and her left before responding to Kyle at the dinner table? Like telling Brandi Lisa is awful for trying to stop her from having fun but then agreeing with Lisa and saint tat she and Lisa are like the “Moms” once Lisa was within earshot? Are those the kinds of games she doesn’t play?
Yolanda was very ill for a long time (fight for her life, blah, blah, blah) …….. she continued to do that bullshit lemon cleanse remaining in a malnourished state and essentially detoxing the antibiotics and other medications right out of her system. She’s an idiot. I would not take health or wellness advice from her or any other housewife. Period. kh
I also feel the need to point out Yolanda does not have Lyme Disease. She was diagnosed with “CHRONIC Lyme Disease” It’s the Fibromyalgia of this decade. There is no test for this “disease” basically a doctor says “You were probably bitten by a tick months ago and never noticed.” And bam, you have Chronic Lyme Disease.
It has always been my opinion that they haven’t properly diagnosed her condition yet. IJS
I agree about her not finding her correct diagnosis.
I feel like I’m a time traveler when I go back and read some of these older posts and comments!
You are a time traveler! AND YO BRING NEWS FROM THE FUTURE! 🙂
TT, lol ! have you heard of the “time traveling hipster?”?
While I enjoy Yolanda on RHOBH, I would not watch a lifestyle show featuring her.
I too enjoy watching her on RHOBH. Her lifestyle is what I associate with Beverly Hills (although she lives in Malibu). The insanely expensive house and the dinner parties attended by the real rich and famous (well those that agree to be seen on a Bravo HW show) that’s what I enjoy watching. And I don’t mind at all if David Foster plays the piano either.
But I doubt I’d watch a show of just her and lifestyle and health.
Thanks TT for the info on Chronic Lyme Disease. Never too old to be educated. I knew i just knew it wasn’t the Lyme Disease Yolanda leads us to believe. Now it makes sense.
I’m in the minority here but I like Yolanda and figured right off the bat that her plan must be to use RHOBH as a springboard to something she really loved. I think that would be a great idea considering how fit she is and I do like her personality. She doesn’t take BS but no one is perfect as she has said. Just look at how she’s handling the “lie” with Kyle and Kim. Perhaps she’s going the reality route to get more exposure to potential viewers and customers later on rather than using her hubby’s connections to just bam, have a show or other venture with no interested viewers or consumers?
Geesh I thought she was older than she is. All that botox in the end makes you look older. The last wife was prettier.
My friend has Lyme and we have a fundraiser on giveforward on facebook her name is beth maurer. we are trying to rais 8,000.00 for her to go Germany for a treatment. the sooner she gets the treatment the better. I hope you look and read this post. Sincerely Amy Turner Carson Sarasota FL
If ethereally beautiful Yolanda Hadid Foster can’t keep her man ” in sickness and in health”, it’s disconcerting to the likes of me. That said, David Foster is a spoiled man of considerable talent. And I don’t know for certain if it was he or Yolanda who pulled the plug on that marriage. I believe that Tamara’s suggestion that Yolanda’s illness is at least in part menopause related, is both reasonable and credible. It might even be All menopuasal. Sounds like Epstein-Barr combined with Lupus. Maybe it Is the spirochete from the tick bite, but I have a sneaking suspicion that beautiful Yolanda thought, even perhaps subconsciously, that illness might keep spoiled, jaded David at her side out of obligation. Just conjecture but it seems logical. Could she have just gotten overwhelmed with growing older and keeping the attention of a talented but always attractive to women, music mogul? Leave a river of water between you and your men, ladies, so if they leave us, we aren’t destroyed in the process. Tamara writes the most journalistic, readable celebrity accounts in the business. Thanks for that, T.T.
I didnt notice that I was commenting on a past article. Oopsie daisy, my eyesight is getting netter by the day, lol.
I have Lyme Disease which was diagnosed in the early 90’s only due to the bite getting infected. In recent years (after having a stroke like episode at work) I tested positive to Borrelia (scientifically through a reputable German laboratory). It has affected me neurologically no doubt about that. I use a walking stick at home and a walker when out. I can’t drive or work. Definitely no high heels. I do call it Chronic Lyme these days because of the duration. Chronic Lyme does indeed exist and it sickens me to think that someone like Yolanda may have exaggerated her condition for her own financial gain. I am not wealthy enough to have proper treatment; so I get out of bed and get dressed every day and do my best to get on with living and have a sleep in the afternoon. If all I did was talk about being sick I would have no family support or friends. Until I saw this article I felt really sorry for her…..
