Stein said that person was “simply a character. It’s acting.” And he added that the housewives program “involves role playing. … It’s a heavily scripted operation.”Article contentHis words were echoed by Shah, who told the judge: “Reality TV has nothing to do with reality.” “For years I blamed other people for putting me in this position,” believing she was duped and manipulated, she said.
