<p id=”par-2_46″>In May, Bravo revealed that Tilly would be joining <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/season-14-of-the-real-housewives-of-beverly-hills-will-bring-big-changes-to-the-cast.html/”><em>The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills </em>Season 14</a> as a “Friend of.” For Tilly, who is a longtime fan of <em>RHOBH </em>and has briefly appeared on the show in the past<em>,</em> it’s the role of a lifetime. </p>

<p id=”par-3_22″>“I’ve always been a <em>Housewives</em> superfan. Only the <em>Real Housewives of Beverly Hills</em>, though,” she said in a recent interview with <a href=”https://www.vulture.com/article/jennifer-tilly-on-housewives-chucky-and-outsmarting-everyone.html” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Vulture</a>. </p>

<p id=”par-4_77″>“But I never thought I’d be on<em> The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills</em>,” she went on to say. “To me, it’s like working with Martin Scorsese. My boyfriend always says if he got $40 million, he wants to go into space and experience zero gravity. To me, being on Housewives is experiencing zero gravity. I was more excited to meet <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/is-kyle-richards-being-forced-to-choose-between-real-housewives-of-beverly-hills-and-a-private-romance.html/”>Kyle Richards</a> and Erika Jane and the other ladies than I was when I met Elizabeth Taylor.”</p>

<p id=”par-5_30″>Despite being a loyal Bravo fan, <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/jennifer-tilly-says-offered-starring-role-real-housewives-of-beverly-hills.html/”>Tilly said she initially turned down</a> invitations to join the show. But this year, the 65-year-old actor realized she wanted to try something new. </p>

<p id=”par-6_19″>“I sort of thought, ‘I just want to do everything different. I’m trying to take on challenges,’” she said. </p>

<p id=”par-7_21″>She soon realized that her decades of experience in film and television hadn’t completely prepared her for working in reality TV.</p>

<p id=”par-8_113″>“I’ve been filming for about a month now, and I’d say the<em> Housewives</em> is the most challenging thing I’ve ever done,” she said. “I read this book called <em>Bachelor Nation</em>, and the <em>Bachelor </em>editors said — I’m paraphrasing — ‘When we get all the footage, it’s like we have a big box of Legos. And we’re like, ‘What are we going to create with these Lego blocks?’ They can do anything. They can make you the girl next door. They can make you the villain. They can make you the cranky one. They can make you the patient one. It depends on what they want to show, what’s going to make the story.”</p>

<p id=”par-9_20″>While Tilly can’t control her edit on <em>RHOBH,</em> she thinks she can avoid some of the cast’s mud-slinging and drama</p>

<p id=”par-10_54″>“I’m not a Housewife,” she said during a July 2024 appearance on the <em>It Happened In Hollywood </em>podcast (via <a href=”https://www.eonline.com/news/1404613/why-jennifer-tilly-was-terrified-to-join-real-housewives-of-beverly-hills” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>E! News</a>). “I’m a Friend, though, which is a lot easier. You just dip in and out. You try to avoid, like, flying shrapnel. And you know, if drinks are thrown, I have good reflexes.”</p>

<p id=”par-11_10″>Meanwhile, Tilly is relishing the latest development in her career. </p>

<p id=”par-12_50″>“I like all the Housewives. I appreciate what they do,” she told Vulture. “I’m just going to say it’s really challenging. It’s the craziest thing I’ve ever done, but I’m really happy I’m doing it, and I think it’s such an interesting kind of sharp left turn for my career.”</p>
