When David Hester, host of “Storage Wars” was fired, he went to the press and claimed much of the show was fake.
In response, the network sued him, and he was recently forced to pay roughly $122,692 in legal costs. The show was fake, but the amounts of cash were very real.
Bridezillas
Marriage is indeed a very stressful thing, the pressure of having a perfect event can really pile up on a bride.
While "Bridezillas" manages to capture this reality quite well, many of the show’s participants claimed that production misled them in one way or another. That’s not a nice thing to do to a bride, but anything for ratings, right?
House Hunters
"House Hunters" follows various individuals, couples, and families as they hire agents to find the house of their dreams.
Like many of these shows, many aspects of it are completely fake. In truth, many of the show’s participants have already found their house and are living in it before the filming even begins.
The Bachelor/The Bachelorette
Like many reality TV shows that revolve around finding love, both shows are mostly scripted. There have been many rumors of producers basically working behind the scenes to create much of the drama on the show.
Everything from casting to the eventual rose ceremony is predetermined. The producers of the show are in control from start to finish, which leaves no room for love.
Basketball Wives
"Basketball Wives" follows the lives and drama involved in being married to famous basketball players.
Unfortunately for the show’s producers, in an astonishing interview, former cast member Matt Barnes claimed that the show is entirely fake. His claims were backed up by Tanya Young, who was equally unsupportive of the show’s creators.
