Christina Applegate revealed that she turned down an offer to star on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
The Dead to Me star is a reality TV junkie and recently recalled that at one point, she was offered a diamond (the item that the housewives hold in the show’s intro) but opted not to take it.
“I was asked to be a Housewife for Beverly Hills,” Applegate said on the MeSsy podcast she co-hosts with Jamie-Lynn Sigler. “They asked me to be one, probably ten years ago, I would say.”
She continued, “And what’s funny is I ended up becoming really good friends with the executive producer of it because our kids went to school together. And he’s like, ‘Oh yeah, we asked you.’ I said, ‘Chris, now that you know me, would I have been a fun Housewife?’ He’s like, ‘No, it would’ve been the most boring s— I’ve ever seen in my life.’”
The Emmy award-winning actress said she would not have been a good fit on the show, adding, “I wouldn’t have shown up to any dinners. I would’ve been in my sweatpants and I’d be laying in bed. What fun is that? No, none of that. No, no. I would be the worst housewife anyway.”
Although Applegate turned down to become a star of The Real Housewives, she is a fan of the franchise. She recently took to social media to express her discontent with Robyn Dixon not being asked back to The Real Housewives of Potomac after eight seasons.
“What in the actual f***? Why is Robin [sic] Dixon not coming back to Real Housewives of Potomac??????? Noooooo!!!!!” Applegate shared on X. “@Andy you need to explain this to me. She is my fave housewife of all the franchises! @Andy call me now! You don’t have my number but ya know. I love you.”
Bette Midler also recently took to X to say she would like to join RHOBH because she was “in the mood to talk some sh**.”
