In an interview promoting her newest film, seven-time Golden Globe Award-winning actress Meryl Streep revealed that she's a huge fan of the Housewives franchise — with a particular liking for the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Since it first aired on Bravo back in 2010, the women of RHOBH have been entertaining fans with their unbelievably lavish lifestyles, jaw-dropping drama, and beyond heated rivalries. While past cast members like Lisa Vanderpump and Kim Richards brought tons of viewership to the network all-out brawls, the four-part season eleven reunion proved that the show's newest batch of Housewives has the exact same potential to produce TV gold.
From Lisa Rinna hurling wine at Kim Richards for calling out her husband to Taylor Armstrong's infamous breakdown in season five, RHOBH has its share of iconic moments. Whether it was Brandi Glanville and Richards getting physical in their fiery feud or Camille Grammer dropping in to stir up the pot, the women of Beverly Hills have certainly made their mark on the ever-expanding Bravo universe. Though the series took a dark turn when Erika Jayne's ongoing legal problems became a pivotal storyline of the latest season. When her fellow castmates started adding their input on her alleged involvement in her ex-husband's embezzlement scandal, the pop singer found herself fighting to prove her innocence. While she had a slight squabble with acclaimed actress Garcelle Beauvais when she disclosed private information to the group, Jayne's biggest rivalry was with Sutton Stracke. With Kyle's sister Katy Hilton and Crystal Minkoff being added to the cast, RHOBH season 11 went on to be one of the most buzzed-about seasons of the series.
Meryl Streep joined her fellow castmates of Netflix's Don't Look Up for a zoom interview to promote the Adam McKay-directed movie. Meryl revealed that one of the things that get her through the grim realities of our planet's depleting state is tuning into Bravo and watching her favorite housewives. "It's life. It’s right now. It’s happening right now. And what do I do? I go in and watch the Housewives of Beverly Hills. I do that," Meryl says. She went on to go about joke about how if there was no Earth, there'd be no way to watch Beverly Hills! "This is what we have to pay attention to. It all flows from this. If we don’t survive, we won’t be able to watch Housewives or whatever." The minute she mentioned the show, her co-star Jennifer Lawrence gasped, as she's an avid RHOBH watcher herself. She openly fangirled over Lisa Rinna when they ran into one another in a New York City restaurant back in 2017.
Meryl and Jennifer certainly aren't the only A-list names obsessed with the world of Bravo. When she was a guest on the Conan O'Brian Show, Mila Kunis revealed that she watches Real Housewives of Beverly Hills while working out on her treadmill. On the last season of Real Housewives of New York, newcomer Leah McSweeny name-dropped her friend Rihanna - who loves everything Housewives. The R&B singer-turned entrepreneur even took to bat for her friend by posting an Instagram photo of herself wearing a McSweeney-designed tee. Nicki Minaj has openly shared her love for Real Housewives of Potomac - so much so that she went on to guest host the season six reunion. It just goes to show that even the world's biggest stars need their Housewives fix every once and a while.
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season twelve is set to air on Bravo in 2022.
