Tammy Knickerbocker

Socialite Tammy Knickerbocker joined the cast of The Real Housewives of Orange County during the shows second season. Knickerbocker joined the cast per her best friend and current cast mate Jeana Keough's insistence.

Knickerbocker was married to Lou Knickerbocker one of the richest men in the gated community. When their marriage ended and subsequently he died leaving everything to his new wife, Knockerbocker found herself without the means to support herself and her three children. While she currently lives in one of the largest homes in the compound, she has no way to pay for it. Her daughters help Knickerbocker by lending her money from their savings, but unless she finds a new source of revenue during the fourth season of Housewives she may have to leave the elite community forever.
