Hollywood star Christina Applegate made a surprising revelation on her MeSsy podcast with Jamie-Lynn Sigler, known for her role on The Sopranos. During the episode, Applegate dished about being approached a decade ago to join the glitzy cast of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Still, fans of Marriedโ€ฆ With Children and Dead to Me, she declined the offer and wonโ€™t see Applegate among the reality TV ranks.

Applegate turned it down, and later, โ€œI ended up becoming really good friends with the executive producer of [RHOBH] because our kids went to school together.โ€ She asked the producer, โ€œโ€˜Now that you know me, would I have been a fun Housewife?โ€™ Heโ€™s like, โ€˜No, it wouldโ€™ve been the most boring sโ€“t Iโ€™ve ever seen in my life.โ€™โ€

Applegateโ€™s self-reflection on the possibility of joining the show was as down-to-earth as her beloved TV characters. She admitted that the drama-packed dinners and glammed evenings synonymous with RHOBH werenโ€™t her cup of tea. She joked, โ€œI wouldnโ€™t have shown up for any dinners. I wouldโ€™ve been in my sweatpants, and I would be laying in bed. What fun is that? None. I would be the worst Housewife anyway.โ€

Despite turning down the dash of reality stardom, Christina Applegate remains a passionate Real Housewives franchise viewer. She recently expressed her dismay over Robyn Dixonโ€˜s exit from Real Housewives of Potomac on social media, โ€œWhat in the actual fโ€“k?โ€ฆ [Andy Cohen], you need to explain this to me. She is my fave [Housewife] of all the franchises!โ€
