Christina Applegate, following her acclaimed performance in Netflix’s “Dead To Me”, revealed that she was once offered a spot on “The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills”. However, she chose not to accept the offer. This revelation was made on the podcast “MeSsy”, which she co-hosts with Jamie-Lynn Sigler. A producer of the reality TV franchise agreed with Applegate’s decision, as discussed in more detail below.
Offer After “Married… With Children”
Christina Applegate rose to fame with her role in “Married… With Children”, and about ten years later, she received an offer to join “The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills”. The offer, according to the actress, was not a good fit for her lifestyle, which she elaborated on during a recent episode of the “MeSsy” podcast. Listen to the podcast episode here.
Applegate recalled a conversation with franchise producer Chris Cullen, in which she asked if he thought she would have been a suitable addition to the reality TV show. Cullen’s response was that her participation would’ve been “the most boring s–t” he’d ever seen. He explained that, knowing her personality, her lifestyle of staying in sweatpants and lying in bed would not ideally suit the drama-driven concept of the show.

Choosing Privacy Over Drama
Applegate reiterated her preference for a drama-free lifestyle, and her decision not to join the reality TV show may indeed have been a wise one.

On this podcast, she has often discussed her ongoing experiences with multiple sclerosis, providing insights into her personal life on her terms.
