Can you believe that the Instagram famous influencer Coco St. Pierre Vanderbilt was actually inspired by a Real Housewife? Actress Leslie Grossman who plays the bratty, self-involved and extremely shallow character on 'American Horror Story: Apocalypse' revealed in a recent interview that Coco was partially inspired by 'RHONY's Tinsley Mortimer. Coco is all about the cushy life on the show and is even the first one to leave Santa Monica after the bomb hits.  She told Nylon, "I like Tinsley and, here's a little scoop I can give you: There are shades of Tinsley in my character this season, and there were moments where I thought of Tinsley when I was doing things." She added referring to the season 10 reveal where Housewife Carole Radziwill said that she and Tinsley weren't really on fantastic terms. She said, "I think Tinsley is misunderstood; I think she is incredibly sweet and I felt terribly for her about what happened at that reunion."
