Christine Chiu Was Rumored to Be a Cast Member on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills”

Christine was previously rumored to be a new cast member on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” but according to Insider, Christine said she “turned down” the opportunity. Christine said being a part of “Bling Empire” was a greater opportunity to represent her Asian culture. Plus, Christine isn’t solely a cast member on the show. She’s also a producer.

Christine stated to Insider, “I can’t speak on behalf of the producers of the ‘Real Housewives’ franchise, but I don’t think I would have had the same opportunity to tell a story in the same way as ‘Bling Empire.'” But, in an interview on E!’s “Daily Pop,” Christine said her rejection of RHOBH was due to a family member’s death. She said, “I almost joined season four. But unfortunately, we had a death in the family, and I didn’t feel like I could bring the best of me to the show.” She said that she is a much better “spectator” of the show.

The Daily Mail first reported rumors of Christine filming RHOBH in 2014. Christine was spotted filming with Brandi Glanville at the time.

Refinery29 said that Christine was also friendly with other stars from the series. For example, Christine’s husband is friends with Adrienne Maloof’s ex-husband, Paul Nassif. Many also know Dr. Nassif from the show “Botched.”
