New year, new “Real Housewives” drama. There are big changes coming to two of the most popular franchises. First off, Lisa Rinna recently announced that she’s stepping down from RHOBH after 8 years of stirring it up. And 1,000 miles to the east, one of the stars of "The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City," Jen Shah, is trading air time for prison time. Jen shocked fans last year when she pled guilty for her part in a telemarketing scheme that targeted the elderly and other vulnerable people. On Friday, she was sentenced to 6.5 years behind bars. So these are two huge losses for both RHOBH and SLC, and we’re wondering: how will Bravo fill this sudden drama void?
