Andy Cohen have some reservations about Bette Midler possibly joining The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
During Monday’s live episode of SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen live, Cohen addressed Midler’s recent interest in joining the hit Bravo reality series.
Cohen shared his thoughts on Midler’s potential addition to the show, saying, “You may have seen Bette Midler’s tweet. She said, ‘Is it too late to become a Real Housewife of Beverly Hills? I’ve never watched it, but I’m Want to talk some shit and get paid for it? A dream,’” Cohen commented during the show.
When asked about Midler’s tweet, Cohen expressed excitement about the legendary artist’s addition to the cast. “She would be the grande dame of Beverly Hills in a second,” exclaimed Cohen. However, he also raised concerns about Midler’s possible discomfort with the show’s filming process.
Cohen recalled a previous meeting with Midler during his time at 48 hours and recalled his distaste for the documentary-style approach to filmmaking. “She didn’t care at all about our process,” Cohen explained. “My only concern as I was thinking about this is that I don’t know if she would love for us to show up with cameras on and shoot her.”
Despite his concerns, Cohen expressed excitement at the prospect of Midler joining the cast, but wondered how much she would cost, adding, “I’ll be very excited about Bette Midler joining. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. I just want to say this. Plus, I mean, Bette Midler is a star. How much would that cost because she said she wants to make a lot of money to talk shit.”
He also discussed the possibility of Midler making guest appearances on the show, suggesting she could start out as a friend of one of the housewives.
“Bette FaceTimes Kyle. ‘What are you wearing? Is that white enough for the white party? What are you going to wear to Garcelle’s barbecue?'” Cohen joked.
The last season of RHOBH presented Kyle Richards, Erika Jayne, Garcelle Beauvais, Dorit Kemsley, Kung Minkoff CrystalAnnemarie Wiley and Sutton Stracke.
However, Wiley recently revealed his departure of the show after just one season. She took to social media to express her disappointment at not being invited back for a second season.
“I’m disappointed, that’s an understatement,” Wiley said of not returning to the reality show after season 13. “I never auditioned for this show. The show found me and asked me to participate out of the blue, 6 weeks after the cast had already started filming. I was thrown into filming two weeks later, halfway through the season.
