Recent rumors have been circulating that comedian and actress Chelsea Handler might be joining the cast of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills for its upcoming Season 14. However, Handler has since reacted to these speculations, providing some clarity on the situation.
The RHOBH franchise has been known for shaking up its cast, especially after the recent departures of Annemarie Wiley and Crystal Kung Minkoff. With two spots to fill, rumors emerged suggesting that Chelsea Handler could be one of the new additions to the show.
Handler, who is no stranger to reality TV, having hosted her own late-night talk show on E! called Chelsea Lately for seven years, was allegedly in talks to join RHOBH. However, she took to social media to debunk these rumors, sharing a screenshot of an article claiming she had made a deal to join the show and adding the caption
Despite Handler’s friendly relationship with Andy Cohen and her past appearances on Watch What Happens Live, where she has interacted with various Housewives, she has expressed her disinterest in being part of the franchise. In a 2013 appearance on WWHL, Chelsea Handler criticized the show, calling it ‘sick’ and disagreeing with the concept of women making money from it.
While Chelsea Handler may not be joining the RHOBH cast, fans are left speculating about who will fill the vacant spots for Season 14. The cast for the upcoming season has yet to be officially announced, but departures from Minkoff and Wiley have already been confirmed. Minkoff shared the news in an Instagram video, expressing both gratitude for the opportunity and sadness over leaving the show, while Wiley admitted disappointment about her departure, stating that viewers never got to see her true self or her unique life story.
As the anticipation builds for the Season 14 cast reveal, fans will have to wait to see which new faces will be gracing the screens of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Despite the rumors surrounding Chelsea Handler, it seems she won’t be among them, leaving viewers to speculate about other potential cast members.
