Page Six hosted its inaugural Virtual Reali-Tea Awards honoring A-list reality stars during a star-studded night at City Winery NYC. The event was hosted by Danny Murphy and Evan Real of the VRT podcast. It kicked off Wednesday with a pink carpet sponsored by Tri-State Cadillac and Malibu.
Real Housewives from Miami, Orange County, New Jersey, Atlanta and Potomac attended, along with stars from Vanderpump Rules, Southern Hospitality and The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. They posed for photos and stopped for interviews on the carpet, setting the scene for an evening of celebratory tea and playful rivalry.
Murphy and Real then guided the program, mixing laughs with nostalgia and a hint of drama as they chatted with reality favorites. RHOM stars Alexia Nepola and Marysol Patton collected the Golden Kettle Award, presented by Tri-State Cadillac. RHONJ star Melissa Gorga was named Mother while her husband Joe Gorga was recognized as the most valuable plus-one. RHOP alum Candiace Dillard Bassett received the Magic Mic Award and delivered a performance of her biggest hits.
Onstage appearances by Nepola, Julia Lemigova and Patton highlighted the night’s ensemble of winners. RHOA alum Phaedra Parks shared an update on her dating life. Vanderpump Rules, SLOMW stars and other personalities joined the chatter with Murphy and Real in front of hundreds of fans. The evening’s other winners included Dorit Kemsley for Most Coveted Closet, Kristin Cavallari for Comeback Queen, Amaya Espinal for A Reali-Tea Star Is Born and Alana Thompson for Best Clip, Clip Clip.
Bravo chief Andy Cohen was named Hot Tea of the Year, delivering a video message from the Watch What Happens Live Clubhouse to mark the honor. After the awards, guests headed to a VIP afterparty at Flyfish Club, where Summer House star-turned-DJ Kyle Cooke kept the dance floor packed as Malibu specialty cocktails and Loverboy drinks flowed late into the night.
City Winery hosting the ceremony underscored Page Six’s growing coverage of reality-TV culture. The night showcased off-camera moments, interviews and performances alongside the awards, ending with a late-night afterparty that extended into the early hours.
