Reality Star Breaks Down in Tears Over Shocking Rise to Fame
Photo Illustration by The Daily Beast/Bravo Angie Katsanevas, 52, broke down in tears while telling Obsessed: The Podcast about her rise to fame on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City .
The daughter of Greek immigrants, Katsanevas founded the salon Lunatic Fringe in 1999 with her husband Shawn Trujillo, from whom she’s now separated.
The pair still work together and have expanded the business into a Utah-based salon franchise, with nine locations across Utah, Ohio, and Idaho.
“I mean, my parents were immigrants,” Katsanevas told Obsessed .
“My dad came to America for a better life.
I’ve seen where he’s from.
He didn’t have a toothbrush.
He came here with only his suit.
He had nothing.
He was poor; he was hungry.
He came to America so his children could thrive.
Small businesses are the backbone of America.
I think women in business are the backbone of America.
It’s an inspiring story: I’m telling my daughter that you can be anything you want.” As Katsanevas became choked up with gratitude, she said, “Those are, like, tears of joy.” Katsanevas is now an advocate for small businesses, even starting the podcast GoDaddy School of Hustle with Angie K. on June 23.
