The Real Reason Aviva Drescher Got Fired From Real Housewives

The Real Housewives of New York City Season 6 finale was one to be remembered. During a party thrown by Sonja Morgan, Aviva Drescher got accused by her castmates of faking illness, like asthma, to avoid cast trips. Aviva came armed with X-rays and chart proof from her doctor visits, but she had enough. In a fit of rage, she exclaimed, "The only thing that's artificial or fake about me ... is THIS," and threw her prosthetic leg on the table. What is it with the women of Real Housewives and their mistreatment of tables?

Aviva would later tell E! News that her leg toss was not planned. She said of the moment, "Questioning my truthfulness set me off...I was being attacked by three shrews and they just wouldn't stop and I thought that maybe they would shut up if I threw my leg on the table. And they did." Although the leg throw was an iconic Real Housewives moment, it wasn't enough to keep her on the series

Aviva's former co-star Heather Thomson claimed during an October 2019 appearance on the Out in the Wild podcast that Aviva was an extremely difficult employee. Thomson, theorized "she got fired because she was difficult as a cast member." Carole Radziwill gave further insight as to why Aviva Drescher was not asked back for RHONY Season 7.
