TV Person

Aviva Drescher

Actor

Aviva joined the Real Housewives of New York City in season five alongside Carole Radziwill and Heather Thomson. The three women were brought on as part of a major plan to overhaul the cast and revamp the series after seeing it fall into a perpetual cycle in its fourth season. Bethenny Frankel introduced Aviva to production citing her prosthetic leg and previous marriage with Harry Dubin—who many other New York housewives have dated—as a casting director's dream.
