Somers Once Made a Cameo on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’
Rest in peace, Suzanne Somers.
Somers appeared on Bravo TV multiple times over her career, including guest spots on “Million Dollar Listing” and “Watch What Happens Live.” Her final appearance on WWHL was in January 2020. Somers talked about how she inadvertently outed her close friend Barry Manilow the previous time she appeared on the Bravo late-night show.
In 2013, she made a cameo on the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” episode “Stars and Stripes.” Somers shared her secrets to staying youthful with cast members Yolanda Hadid, Lisa Vanderpump, and Kyle Richards.
But a full-time spot on the Bravo reality show would never come to be. In a 2022 interview, Somers admitted she would never join the Real Housewives franchise.
“I don’t think so,” she said in an interview on the “Behind the Velvet Rope with David Yontef” podcast. “It’s not my vibe. You know what I mean?”
Somers said she preferred to do live streams from her home with her husband, Alan Hamel, in lieu of doing reality TV.
“And besides, if I did that, I’d have to work for somebody else. Now we go into that problem, you know,” Somers added.
