Chastain could basically be a "friend of" at this rate. In January 2023, the actress said she wanted to see Lisa Vanderpump back on RHOBH. A Twitter user replied to a Bravo tweet on the topic, "Just fell in love with @jes_chastain even more," to which Vanderpump herself replied, "Me too." The Oscar winner's reply? "Umm your move [Andy Cohen]!"

That same week, Chastain told Andy Cohen she'd rented Kyle Richards' Bel Air house before the homeowner's Real Housewives of Beverly Hills costar Sutton Stracke stayed there.

"And I didn't realize it," she said. "My husband had picked it out. I said, 'How do I know this place?' And at one point, we had an issue with the movie theater room. [Richards' husband Mauricio Umansky] showed up," Chastain recounted with a laugh.

Although she didn't immediately clock the setting, Chastain admitted that she got a sense of déjà vu when she saw the "black and white checkered tiles at the entrance."

During a joint interview with PEOPLE to promote the Downton Abbey film, Dockery and McGovern admitted they couldn't get enough of Bravo's hit The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

"We're obsessed," said McGovern. "Absolutely obsessed," added Dockery.

In fact, she said, it was McGovern and costar Laura Carmichael who introduced Dockery to the long-running series. "I wasn't into this show before Elizabeth and Laura were like, 'You need to get into this show,' " continued Dockery. "So, I went straight in at season 1 during filming. If anyone wants to know what I was doing while we were doing the Downton Abbey 2 film, I was watching The Housewives of Beverly Hills."

In Washington, D.C., in September 2022, RHOBH star Garcelle Beauvais had a run-in with one of her biggest fans: one Julia Roberts.

"I just met Julia Roberts, she said 'Oh my God, I need to find you a boyfriend. I'm invested in this,' and I said, 'Oh my God, I can just die now. I don't even need the boyfriend,'" Beauvais told Entertainment Tonight at the HISTORYTalks 2022 event.

"She said 'I need a moment' when she saw me, and I was like 'You? I need a moment!'" Beauvais added.

The Mad Men actor stopped by SiriusXM's The Howard Stern Show in September 2022 where he shared to host Stern that he's a secret fan of Bravo's Real Housewives franchise — a revelation that sparked the two to discuss an Erika Girardi storyline that played out on a recent episode.

"Everyone wants to know, should Erika give back the earrings?" Stern asked Hamm, referencing a pair of $750,000 diamond stud earrings the Beverly Hills Housewife's estranged husband Tom Girardi purchased for her in March 2007.

"She should [give them back]," Hamm said, to the agreement of Stern. "It's ... the circular argument that 'it's not responsible...' — you just want to shake her and go, 'Honey, they were never yours! Give them back!' "

If you can believe it, the Oscar winner confirmed in January 2022 that she follows the Beverly Hills installment of the Bravo franchise during a group Zoom interview with the cast of Netflix's hit film Don't Look Up, which satirizes the government's response to climate change.

As Streep noted in the interview, many people feel "a desire to escape" overwhelming or negative news at times — herself included.

"It's life. It's right now. It's happening right now. And what do I do? I go in and watch [Real] Housewives of Beverly Hills. I do that," she admitted. "So, we do this. I know. I'm reading about the climate, and it does feel overwhelming."

Rihanna revealed her love for Bravo once again when she showed her support for Real Housewives of New York star Leah McSweeney on Instagram after the singer was name-dropped during an episode, in which McSweeney argued with Ramona Singer and Luann de Lesseps over her streetwear line, Married to the Mob. The Fenty Beauty CEO shared a selfie of herself wearing a shirt from the line as well as the clip in which McSweeney referenced her, captioning the post, "what was said @ramonasinger ? 😂 #RHONY."

RiRi previously told Vogue about her love for Beverly Hills, saying, "Tell me who is a badder bitch than Lisa Vanderpump! She's goals AF! She's chic but still funny. She likes to be at home with her husband and then goes and handles her business. Maybe there's a couple of thousand Birkins in her closet, but she's still focused. I love that about her."

"I think the star of the Real Housewives is the franchise itself," Paulson said in a lie detector test with Vanity Fair. "So I think it will survive without [Bethenny Frankel], yes. Although I, personally, will miss her. I'd like them to bring back Jill Zarin, though, personally."

"You know, I don't want her coming after me on Twitter. But I won't miss [Lisa Vanderpump]. I'll miss the dynamic she brings to the group, which is, you know the fear of God she instills in everyone, but no, I won't miss her. I met her once at a party, she wasn't that nice to me."
