Jennifer Tilly joined the cast of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills as a friend of the housewives in season 14 and her fabulous closet and shows of wealth have already made her a fan favorite for many viewers. But is it true that the rest of the diamond holders allegedly can't stand the poker pro and actress?
A rumor claims the RHOBH cast doesn't like Jennifer Tilly
A source told Life & Style exclusively that almost the entire cast has reportedly been giving Jennifer Tilly "the cold shoulder" and excluding her from their friend group. According to the source, only Jennifer's friend, Sutton Stracke, has given Jennifer Tilly a warm welcome into the cast.
"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 insider told the publication in mid-February 2025.
The source went on to say that Jennifer Tilly, who made a lot of her wealth through her divorce settlement from The Simpsons co-creator Sam Simon who she split from in 1991, saying that she doesn't think of herself as rich has caused some tension within the cast.
Speaking to E! News, Jennifer Tilly spoke about the royalties that she gets from The Simpsons and about the fact that, despite having multiple houses and a boat-shaped Louis Vuitton bag with a price tag that matches a new car, she doesn't think she's rich.
She told E! News, "Number one, I don't think of myself as rich. But I guess I'm delusional because I do have several properties and a purse apparently that cost $33,000."
Kyle Richards responds to the rumors about Jennifer Tilly
After fans found out that Dorit Kemsley was the only member of the RHOBH cast that didn't follow Jennifer Tilly, fans started to think that they knew who had a problem with the actress and poker pro. Considering the tension between Sutton Stracke and Dorit Kemsley lately, it wouldn't be too surprising to find out that Dorit had been snubbing one of Sutton's friends.
But, it seems like the speculation may have been a big misunderstanding.
During an Amazon Live stream following the Life & Style story, Kyle Richards spoke up about the rumors that there's problems between Jennifer Tilly and the rest of the cast. According to the OG RHOBH star, the answer is no.
When asked about whether or not the story was true, Kyle said it was "not true at all" and went on to say, "Not at all. That is not a true story at all. I love Jennifer Tilly. I don't think anyone on the show didn't love her. She's just colorful and bright and happy."
Likewise, Kyle's sister, Kathy Hilton, commented on an Instagram post about the story and refuted the claim that anyone had a problem with Jennifer Tilly. In the comment, Kathy wrote, "I have never heard any of our girls club say an unkind word about [Jennifer Tilly]."
