2. Reservations about the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

She initially didn’t want to join the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills because of all the altercations she saw between the other women, but she did a screen test anyway. After the screen test, she decided to do the show, as long as she could leave with the same amount of integrity she came in with, and as long as the show gave an accurate portrayal of who she is, then she decided she would be happy doing it.
