The Real Housewives of London Already Have Scandals—And It Hasn’t Even Premiered

The cast of The Real Housewives of London has finally been confirmed, and in true Bravo fashion, they’re already turning heads—and not just for their wealth and wardrobes.

The new Housewives include Karen Loderick-Peace, Great British Bake Off alum Nessie Welschinger, Juliet Mayhew, Panthea Parker, Juliet Angus, and Amanda Cronin. And while the show hasn’t even premiered on Hayu yet, some of these women are already facing criticism over past comments, personal finances, and luxury lifestyle flaunting.

Juliet Mayhew’s Purity Talk Leaves Some Viewers Uncomfortable

Australian model-turned-“lifestyle imaginer” Juliet raised eyebrows after a resurfaced Christian talk show appearance from 2020.

Juliet, who is friends with Neighbours star Holly Valance, revealed she was a virgin until marrying husband Anthony Mayhew at 29, calling her wedding night “painful.” But it’s what she said about others that rubbed some viewers the wrong way.

“I was like ‘girls, if you are representing excellence, just stop sleeping with your boyfriends,’” Juliet said, adding, “People from the pulpit need to start setting some boundaries.”

Critics online have called her tone “shamey” and “out of touch.”

Amanda Cronin’s Luxe Life Comes With Financial Red Flags

Amanda, once dubbed the “woman with the longest legs in Belgravia,” also brings some buzz. She previously dated Wham! star Andrew Ridgeley, lives in a multimillion-pound mansion, and owns a skincare brand.

But according to UK filings, that skincare business reportedly has £290,000 in debt and just £3,000 in assets. If she joins RHOL, she might want to brace herself—Bravo fans love a business takedown. Just ask Whitney Rose.

Juliet Angus Gets Backlash After Designer Bag Robbery

Juliet Angus is already familiar to Bravo fans from Ladies of London, and she’s now making the jump to Real Housewives of London. But her return comes after criticism for how she handled a high-profile burglary.

After thieves stole her designer handbag collection, Juliet posted about “rebuilding” it on Instagram. While fans sympathized, others called her out. “Tasteless,” one follower commented. “People are struggling and you’re flexing your Birkins again?”

Looks like the drama’s already started—and the show hasn’t even aired yet.
