Katie Rost is from a very affluent family and initially had her chance at stardom from modeling. However, how many people knew her before she was part of the cast of the reality TV show, Real Housewives of Potomac?
After the first season of Bravo reality TV, she was fired for allegedly lacking inspiring storylines. Although she has begged to return to the show and even apologized for wrongdoings, Katie Rost’s stint back on the show hasn’t been approved. She even had to get a regular minimum-paying job in order to carter for her 3 children.
Katie Rost is from an Affluent Family
Katie was born on July 7, 1980, in Potomac. Her family has been described as affluent and philanthropic as well as biracial. The Rost family has a foundation that was started in honor of the family’s matriarch after he died in 2000. The name of the foundation is the Ronald F. Rost Charitable Foundation, run by the TV personality and her mother.
Rost was given all the fine things in life including a top-tier education that would have her easily bagging a career in whatever top field of her choice.
Contrarily, Katie Rost chose a different and more unique path for herself. She left Potomac to the Big Apple, to pursue a career in modeling. With how successful her modeling career was, she got the opportunity to join The Vogue 100 List when the magazine’s editor, Anna Wintour, asked her to.
She was Fired from RHOP For Lacking a Storyline
I’ve asked Andy Cohen to bring me back, apologized, gone to shul and said sorry. All that stuff. Radio silence. I have a lot going on that a lot of people can relate to and a-lot HAS changed. I’m reliable. If they are still casting. Hire me. I’m here. And I’m real. #RHOP for real

Katie Rost was a regular in the premier season of RHOP and she brought as much drama as the rest. However, she was laid off after the first season and wasn’t called back. She made a couple of appearances in other seasons of the reality TV show but just as a guest.
Her last known appearance on the show was in Season 7 when she was quickly featured as part of Karen Huger’s spring fling party.
When asked why she was off the show, Katie revealed that she was fired because she didn’t have an inspiring storyline. She even went off on social media and said a lot of things that she would later take back and apologize for.
Further wearing her tail in between her legs, Katie Rost has begged to be called back to the show. She has made public tweets targeted at the show’s director, begging to be forgiven. All of her advances proved to be futile, unfortunately.
As of the start of 2023, Rost revealed that she had gotten a regular, minimum-wage paying job. She had to get a job to be able to take care of her kids. She made the information available through a social media post.
The reality TV star and model has also come clean about her battle with addiction and how she relapsed.
