Lisa Ann Walter didn’t think she was the right fit for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
“You know, they asked me to be on the show five times,” Water, 62, told Betches on Tuesday, May 12. “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.”
Walter added that the producers told her the cast doesn’t have to “fight,” but she still was not interested in appearing on the reality series.
“The only thing I’ve got is real,” the Abbott Elementary star said. “No shade to people who love this. I watch 90 Day Finacé, so who am I to judge?”
While she doesn’t see herself entering the Bravoverse, her fans thought she would fit right in with cast members, including Jennifer Tilly.
“I want her and Jennifer Tilly filming right now!!” one fan commented on the clip, which was posted via Instagram. A second added, “The irony is that her character on Abbott watches Housewives 🤭.” A third commented, “I literally don’t gaf that she doesn’t have a house, husband, or live in BH. I would be so fully sat for every word that comes out of this beautiful lady’s mouth 😂 and I don’t feel like I’m alone in this.”
Walter isn’t the first star to turn down The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. In April 2024, she revealed she was offered a spot on the reality show 10 years prior.
“I was asked to be a Housewife for Beverly Hills,” she said during an episode of Jamie-Lynn Sigler’s “MeSsy” podcast. “They asked me to be one, probably 10 years ago, I would say.”
Applegate, 54, 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.’”
Applegate agreed that she wouldn’t have been their ideal cast member.
“I wouldn’t have shown up to any dinners,” she said. “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.”
