Katie Rost was part of the first season of The Real Housewives of Potomac. Alongside RHOP mainstays Gizelle Bryant, Ashley Darby, Robyn Dixon, Karen Huger, and the shortlived Charrisse Jackson, Rost was the tried and true Potomac girl. No stranger to the elite socialite life, her life as a model seemingly prepared her for this spotlight. But something just didn't click. Lasting only a season, the mother of three was just not cut out like the other powerhouses in her cast. Then came life after Potomac. Sadly, it wasn't pretty.
Katie Rost Was Embroiled in a Heated Custody Battle
Though she appeared on numerous occasions following Season 1, her main storyline on the show was focused on her party-planning tantrums and desire to have her then-partner, Andrew Martin, pop the question. By the time the reunion aired, the pair had called it quits. And so had Bravo. She was demoted to a guest spot. She later was elevated to "Friend of" during Season 4, but her full-time status was gone for good. Perhaps that's where the trouble came in.
Katie Rost Has Battled Addiction
Now, a year later, Rost has confirmed that she has once again checked herself into a facility. Via her Instagram, Rost wrote, "Just finished 28days of Rehab at Mountain Manor Treatment Center, I’m soooooo proud of myself. I didn’t walk into this on a winning streak,(shout out to #jellyroll) but today I have such a sense of victory! Let’s gooooooooo." Only a day later, Rost then revealed that she would be moving into a sober living house for the next chapter of her journey. Here's hoping 2025 will be a fruitful year for Rost.
Many fans have desired to see the return of Katie Rost over the years as they've felt the franchise start to get stale. Following Season 8, many called for her time to be back as a cherry blossom, despite the reality of her personal situation. With Season 9 gearing up as a fresh new start, Rost might still have to beg Andy Cohen for another shot at the show. Given the situation with Karen Huger's DUI though, her road back to Potomac may be more difficult. We all know that Rost can roast the ladies, but would a return to the show actually be to her benefit? The environment might just be too much too soon.
