Fans are ready to learn everything about the former Real Housewives of Dallas’ LeeAnne Locken. The former housewife was a fan favorite since she always brought the drama but had an untimely departure. Bravo housewives often come and go, whether it is due to their own decisions or the network choosing to let them walk.
Fans have formed bonds with many of their favorites as they’ve watched them throughout the years. And while it is often the natural progression for some to decide to leave the franchises most of the time, fans are not seeing the news coming. During season 4 showed a darker side to Locken, who made a racist comment toward her co-star at the time, Kary Brittingham calling her a “chirpy Mexican.” The backlash was swift, and in February of 2020, Locken announced that she had made the decision to leave the show.
But is there more to learn about the brunette beauty? Absolutely! Locken was not only an OG of the Dallas housewives, but fans may not know she also appeared in Big Rich Texas. The 53-year-old started out her career in TV as a beauty queen when she competed in the Miss America pageant and came in sixth! She quickly moved to La La Land to try and make some dreams come true. While Locken may never have landed a major role, fans remember seeing her in Miss Congeniality, where she played the blonde Miss Nebraska. The reality star is still using her beauty to her advantage when she promotes companies on her Instagram. Check out a recent post below:

The newlywed is worth $2.5 million, thanks to her TV success, according to Cinemaholic. She has dabbled in producing, and also started her own clothing line called Infinity Dress. Locken has never shied away from her past, as she has spoken about her troubled childhood growing up in the circus. While P.T. Barnum may have bragged about joining the circus, Locken often told viewers on the show that a carnival was no place for a child since she was exposed to hard drugs. She also revealed during her time on the show that she was mugged and stalked.
Bravo fans are hoping that Locken will not be remembered for her outburst and poor choice of words and has since apologized when she appeared on the reunion, saying, “It was a mistake. I was ignorant. I have educated myself. And moving forward, I know that this is wrong.” The Texas native really is best known for her big heart and charity work. Fans often watched her take immense pride in her philanthropy work, where she dedicated her time and money to helping others. Since leaving the show, Locken has been spending time with her husband, Rich Emberlin. There is no telling what Locken’s next move will be, but many hope we will see her again on the small screen.
