The series resembles the series The Real Housewives, which airs on the same network. One of the cast members, Andi Black, explains the difference by saying that "we've [the cast] all known each other for 20 to 30 years." She emphasizes the fact that they are all long-time girlfriends and have always been involved in each other's life. "When the camera stops rolling, we're still talking about the same issue," she also added.{{cite web|url=http://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/secrets-and-wives-is-not-like-real-housewives-says-star-andi-black-201526|title=Secrets and Wives Is Not Like Real Housewives, Says Star Andi Black|accessdate=June 5, 2015|date=June 2, 2015|work=Us Weekly|first=Jean |last=Bentley}}{{cite web|url=http://www.wetpaint.com/2015-06-01-secrets-and-wives-not-real-housewives-long-island/|title=Here's Why Secrets and Wives Isn't The Real Housewives of Long Island|accessdate=June 5, 2015|date=June 1, 2015|publisher=Wetpaint|first=Carson |last=Blackwelder}}
