The Oscar-nominated actress said she has "good reflexes," just in case drinks start flying between the Housewives.
Horror and Housewives fans can rejoice now that the marvelous Jennifer Tilly has staked her claim on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills as a Friend of the series.
The leading lady of Chucky — which recently aired its third season and is available to watch on SYFY, USA Network, and Peacock — got into the nitty gritty about her time on the Housewives series when speaking with former co-star Gina Gershon. The pair united for the It Happened in Hollywood podcast to discuss their successful 1996 film Bound — which helped raise the bar for LGBTQ+ filmmaking — before Gershon touched on news that Jennifer was joining RHOBH.
“Oh, my God, it’s insane,” Jennifer said in the July 2, 2024, podcast episode. “It’s, like, scarier than Chucky, I’ll tell you that.”
Jennifer has famously and fabulously starred in the Child’s Play horror franchise since 1998’s Bride of Chucky, the fourth of several horror films starring “Chucky,” a doll possessed by the soul of a serial killer. Playing his long-time girlfriend and partner in crime Tiffany Valentine, Jennifer reprised the role in Seed of Chucky (2004), Curse of Chucky (2013), and Cult of Chucky (2017), and has since carried the character over into SYFY and USA's Chucky.
The Bravoverse, however, was surprised to occasionally spot the Chucky series star between Seasons 10 and 13 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, before learning she was a close friend with longtime Housewife Sutton Stracke.
Jennifer was confirmed as a Friend of the series in Bravo’s Season 14 lineup announcement on May 22, 2024.
