Jennifer Tilly Likened Her RHOBH Experience To Working With Hollywood Elite

Jennifer Tilly knows being on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is a big deal. In fact, she compared the thrill of filming for Bravo TV working with Hollywood legends.

A ‘Taste of Reality‘ for the Bride of Chucky actress:

In an interview with Vulture, Jennifer, who has a very active credible resume of her own, has openly been a super fan of RHOBH for years. “She lives there and had loved the idea of seeing “Beverly Hills through the lens of really rich people.”

That’s when the harsh reality hit.

Jennifer explained, “I thought that I was going to see a lot of people shopping on Rodeo Drive, but a lot of the filming that they do is in the Valley, in places where it’s easier to get permits. So, it’s not like you’re at the fanciest places in Beverly Hills, arguing. They’re usually arguing at some kind of non–Beverly Hills place because the really fancy, elite places don’t want Housewives screaming at each other in their dining room.”

Jennifer Tilly understands the significance of being on RHOBH:

“But I never thought I’d be on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. 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 Kyle Richards and Erika Jane and the other ladies than I was when I met Elizabeth Taylor.”

The struggle is real when dealing with editors. After a month of filming, Jennifer admitted reality tv was “the most challenging thing [she’d] ever done.” The celebrated actress did her homework. She read this book on The Bachelor, so she was able to empathize with the fact these ‘characters’ are, indeed, real people. She explained the editors “hold all the power in how she or anyone is perceived.”

Has Jennifer Tilly hit the big time with RHOBH?

To many of us, Jennifer Tilly’s been a HUGE deal for decades. For the Bullets Over Broadway actress, she’s hyper aware of the star power she’s in the company of on RHOBH.

“You come in without a script. It’s just sort of like they just wade in there, and they go at it. In real life, if you’re at a restaurant and people at the table are screaming at each other, you’re mortified like, Oh my God. I can’t believe I’m with these uncouth people. But when I am sitting at a table with Housewives, I feel like I have a front-row seat at the Super Bowl.”
