Real Housewives star apologises and begs to return after working minimum wage job

Katie Rost has begged to return to Real Housewives of Potomac after being forced to work a minimum wage job at a supermarket.

The 42-year-old reality star previously hit out at executive producer Andy Cohen and accused him of "exploiting my image" after he failed to invite her to a reunion show back in 2019.

Katie has now said she has apologised for her behaviour and insisted she has changed.

Taking to Twitter, she said: "I've asked Andy Cohen to bring me back, apologized, gone to shul and said sorry. All that stuff. Radio silence.

"I have a lot going on that a lot of people can relate to and a-lot HAS changed. I'm reliable. If they are still casting. Hire me. I'm here. And I'm real. #RHOP for real."

Her plea comes just two weeks after she announced she had secured a minimum wage job at Bethesda Co-op, an organic health shop, after completing rehab.

"Jesus Christ, I started working, like a real job. I just got off of an 8 hour shift working minimum wage," Katie wrote on Instagram.

"I feel like a real person instead of a reality tv person; I made $14 an hour, … Keepin it real."

Katie previously slammed Andy for not inviting her to the season four reunion show four years ago.

In a now-deleted social media post, she wrote: "Everyone knows I should be on that couch.You want to exploit my image and life and not give me my time to shine?"

Three years later, she apologised to the producer and said the statements she had made "weren't cool".

She also pleased for her job back, saying: "I do want a job. And I swear I will totally behave. I’m also sorry for my temper tantrums. I feel no thirst. I just want to work."

Katie first joined the Real Housewives cast in 2016 as a socialite who planned extravagant charity galas.

In the second season, her full-time role on the show was reduced and by season three, she had been axed.

The reality star was featured in season four, but only as a friend of the current cast.
