Before she was on RHOBH, Rachel Zoe had her own reality show on Bravo. The Rachel Zoe Project followed the stylist and her team as they dressed A-list stars. The show ended shortly after one of her assistants left. She recently reignited a feud with her former staffers, who called her a “nightmare” to work with. Keep reading for all the details.
Rachel Zoe Joined RHOBH In Return To Reality TV
Rachel Zoe was a Bravo star before The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills even started. The Real Housewives spinoff premiered in 2010. Rachel Zoe’s show began in 2008 and ran until 2013. She styled some of Hollywood’s biggest stars, including Anne Hathaway, Demi Moore, and Kim Kardashian.
The reality show also spotlighted a look behind the scenes of the glitz and the glamour. Rachel Zoe’s personal and professional lives were on display. She had several assistants on the show, but Brad Goreski was the most memorable. He left after Season 4, and the show ended shortly afterwards.
After years out of the spotlight, Rachel Zoe joined Season 15 of RHOBH after the departures of several cast members, including Lisa Rinna and Garcelle Beauvais. The stylist has been friends with Kyle Richards and a few of the other ladies for years.
Branded A ‘Nightmare’ By Former Staffers
Brad Goreski left the show to pursue a career as a stylist. The split was initially friendly, but then he took on some of Rachel Zoe’s clients, sparking a long feud. He recently styled Demi Moore for a look that went viral on social media.

The heated relationship between the two was recently reignited after her comments about her staffers. Speaking to Interview magazine, Rachel Zoe called assistants “triggering.”
She added, “I’ve had the best in the world who are like family, but it also goes the other way. There’s betrayal and dishonesty and all the things. It’s the hardest job to fill, always.”
The quote was posted on the magazine’s social media. Her former assistant, Brad Goreski, dropped a comment that hinted at their old feud. “Triggering for the assistants as well — Taylor, Jill, Jordan, Tara, Me …,” he wrote.
One of Rachel Zoe’s former assistants seemed to co-sign his assessment. “Accurate,” Jordan Johnson Chung replied to his comments.
RHOBH fans weighed in on the feud between Rachel Zoe and her former assistants. One even called her a “nightmare” boss.
- “I love watching her on housewives, but she seemed like a nightmare boss on the Zoe Project.”
- “She comes across so vapid on [RHOBH]. The stupid ‘I die’ every 5 minutes and tired a** Stevie Nicks cosplay”
- “I am so at a loss for why people are gagging for her on Housewives. She was awful to Brad after he worked so hard for her all the time.”
