Key Highlights

Adrianne Curry-Rhode, Cycle 1

Although she later modeled for Ed Hardy and Von Dutch, the first winner of the series is perhaps best known for her unique journey as a Brady wife. After marrying Christopher Knight on VH1’s Surreal Life, she and the Brady Bunch star featured in the network’s spinoff My Fair Brady, ultimately ending their five-year marriage in 2011. Now married to voiceover actor Matthew Rhode, she moved from L.A. to Montana, where she manages her blog and sells Avon products.

“I felt that I was on a cusp,” Adrianne shared with People in July 2024. “I was 32 years old and I got offered a job for face fillers, and it was a huge payday with free face fillers and one up to my contract and all this stuff. And I remember sitting there, and that money was so good that I considered it. Then I thought, I am willing to deface, to mutilate myself for money?”

She could foresee what lay ahead as well.

“I envisioned a future on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills with my face full of filler and me clinging to youth that is gone,” she confessed. “I just felt like there was something more out there than just relevancy and money, and I made that decision to leave.”
