What happened to The Simple Life?

The Simple Life started in 2003 and ran for five seasons — it ended in 2007.

Nicole and Paris had a falling out in 2005, which is rumoured to be why the show ended. The story allegedly goes that Paris hosted Saturday Night Live that same year and didn’t invite Nicole to the filming.

As revenge, Nicole allegedly showed Paris’ sex tape to a group of people at a watch party.

Following the feud, the two socialites filmed the entirety of The Simple Life Season 4 and Season 5 separately.

Reflecting on the conflict, Paris called it “a little blip” in their 40-year friendship.

“Our lives are so braided together outside of that. Our relationship has spanned almost 40 years. So for us, I think that was more of a little blip,” she told W in October.

Messy! The perfect reality TV recipe.
