“Abbott Elementary” star Lisa Ann Walter recently revealed that she was offered a spot on Bravo’s popular reality show, “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills“; however, she turned it down more than once. During a new interview, the esteemed actress said that hanging with some of 90210’s most elite women wasn’t a high priority for her at the moment.
Speaking with Betches, Walter, 62, said she could’ve held a diamond on Bravo’s “RHOBH” many times, but decided to leave the offer on the table.
“You know, they asked me to be on the show five times,” she said. “And I said, I’m not a housewife — I’m not a wife — I don’t have a house [and] I don’t live in Beverly Hills.”
According to Walter, she spoke with producers about the series, and they told her that the women cast on the show don’t have to “fight” with each other.
Even then, the mother of four said she simply wasn’t interested in the long-running program.
“The only thing I’ve got is real,” she said. “No shade to people who love this. I watch 90 Day Finacé, so who am I to judge?”
Other Celebrities Have Turned Down Roles On The ‘Real Housewives’
Walter isn’t the only popular celebrity to turn down Bravo’s offer to appear on their biggest franchise.
According to BuzzFeed, several other A-listers, such as Christina Applegate, said no to the producers’ offer to get her on board.
“I was asked to be a Housewife for Beverly Hills,” she said, revealing they had asked her a decade ago. Years later, Applegate formed a close friendship with one of the show’s producers and admitted that they told her she wouldn’t have been a great fit for the series.
“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,’” she said.
Applegate went on to say that she wouldn’t have wanted to participate in the outings that make the show work, such as group dinners or cast trips. “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,” she said.
Lisa Kudrow Called Out Andy Cohen Over This ‘Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills’ Scene
Speaking of “RHOBH,” “Friends” actress Lisa Kudrow recently made headlines after appearing to call out Andy Cohen on his show.
According to The Blast, Kudrow admitted she watched the show, but refused to share her thoughts about the series.
“I saw the ‘Beverly Hills’ [episode], you don’t want me to discuss it. I am telling you right now,” she said.
Kudrow then referenced a scene in which Dorit Kemsley left Kyle Richards and Erika Jayne stranded in a small town during their international cast trip to Tuscany, Italy.
“I am just going to say Black Mercedes, sprinter twins. I caught that, I’m sorry,” Kudrow said.
Cohen, however, didn’t seem interested in speaking too much about the moment, saying flatly, “OK, yeah.”
This ‘RHOBH’ Alum Said She Left The Series After A ‘Line Was Drawn’ In The Sand
Before Kudrow’s comments made their rounds, Garcelle Beauvais, a former “RHOBH” cast member, got candid about her sudden exit from the series in 2025.
“A line was drawn for me that I no longer wanted to cross. I felt like my spirit could no longer do it. (It was) just drama for the sake of drama,” Beauvais said, per The Blast.
She opened up even more about her five seasons on the show in her new Audible original, “Protecting My Peace… At All Costs.”
“I realized something I couldn’t unsee. I didn’t have an ally. Not one. Not a single friend sitting on that stage with me. No one to lock eyes with, no one to lean toward. No one saying, ‘I see you,’” the “Jamie Foxx” show alum wrote in her book. “The same way I walked in is how I walked out. Alone. I didn’t wanna fight anymore. I didn’t wanna be a grown a, woman, a grandmother, going after other women.”
Kathy Hilton Doesn’t Want ‘Housewives’ Viewers To Think This About Her
Another report from The Blast details Kathy Hilton’s thoughts about her role on the series. According to the socialite, she enjoys filming the show because it allows her to be herself.
But according to her, not everything is as it seems. “… you have to realize things are edited,” she said.
Hilton’s comments are about her viral one-liners that often come during the show’s most intense and serious moments, whether that’s an argument with the other women or a charity event.
Hilton explained that the scenes have caused some viewers to think she’s unintelligent, which she severely dislikes.
“When they think that I am cuckoo,” she said. “I don’t consider myself stupid. It’s the way things are cut, and that’s fine. “I get nervous.”
