It’s being alleged that The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast are not amused by Jennifer Tilly’s presence on the show. And they do not want her back next season. Though perhaps that’s not the case with Sutton Stracke, who maintains a genuine friendship with the Family Guy voice actress.
Jennifer joined RHOBH as a friend of for Season 14. She quickly became a fan favorite. Perhaps therein lies the issue with her costars, as the source close to the cast claimed in a recent interview. That and perceived jealousy of the wealth she amassed from a very fortuitous divorce in 1991.
Take this one with a mountain of salt; we’re not convinced.
A source said the RHOBH newbie is “the least popular” among the other ladies
An insider exclusively told Life & Style that the Bride of Chucky star has been ostracized by the majority of the group.
“Jennifer is the least popular of the group and the ladies can’t stand her and have been giving her the cold shoulder, except Sutton [Stracke], who’s been her friend for over a decade and people wonder why,” the source claimed.
Then there’s the issue of her fortune. As part of her divorce settlement with late ex-husband Sam Simon, Jennifer got 30 percent of his royalties from The Simpsons.
“Jennifer tends to pass herself off as this American socialite with her designer bags when everyone knows she took her ex-hubby to the cleaners and walked away with a huge divorce settlement and she still gets royalties from The Simpsons, which HE created,” the source continued.
Producers “love the drama” that Jennifer Tilly brings
The RHOBH star previously told E! News that she’s “astonished” by her wealth. And claimed to live in a “cluttered” house. The source suggests that Jennifer’s humility is questionable. And her costars are interested in transparency when it comes to her bank account.
“Number one, I don’t think of myself as rich,” Jennifer told the news outlet. “But I guess I’m delusional because I do have several properties and a purse apparently that cost $33,000.”
She continued, “I don’t have a giant mansion or a chauffeur that calls me Miss Tilly and makes out with me like Sutton’s chauffeur. I just live my life the way that I used to live.”
The insider countered Jennifer’s claims while speaking to Life & Style. They listed her “four properties,” as “two in Bel-Air, one in Malibu and another one in Las Vegas.”
Jennifer, “flaunts Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Balmain, Chanel on the show, and has the audacity to say she’s not ‘rich,’” the source claimed.
Ultimately, it’s up to producers to make the decision. And the ratings this season are on Jennifer’s side. That is, RHOBH viewership is up.
“The producers would love for Jennifer to come back for season 15 as a guest again or regular, her choice. They love the drama, and Jennifer has helped to drive up ratings. But fat chance she’ll want to face those middle-aged cats again and Kyle [Richards], Dorit [Kemsley], and their cohorts are saying good riddance,” the insider concluded.
