Emma Roberts Pushes For Her Mom To Join The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills

Emma Roberts is aiming to bring family dynamics to the forefront of reality television as she advocates for her mother, Kelly Cunningham, to join the ranks of Bravo's iconic franchise, "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" (RHOBH). Known for her roles on popular shows like "American Horror Story," Roberts expressed her enthusiasm for her mother's potential participation during the 2025 Revolve Festival amidst the hustle and bustle of Coachella.

Roberts, 34, passionately shared, "I want my mom to be on Housewives, but she said she doesn't have the personality for it." In a humorous twist, Emma countered, asserting, "That's exactly what makes you have the personality for it. She just says it like it is!" This sentiment underscored the candidness that reality television often thrives on.

Emma revealed that Kelly has been approached about the show in the past but has yet to make the leap into the reality TV world. "She’s a hard get," Emma joked, highlighting her mother's reluctance. Adding to the narrative, Roberts mentioned her own hesitance to step in front of the cameras herself, noting, "I'm not married. I'm on my way, but I'm not a housewife yet." With her engagement to actor Cody John, the possibility of her joining RHOBH remains open, although she may consider it once she feels more 'mature.'

The allure of reality TV seems deeply rooted in Roberts' personal preferences; she expressed an insatiable appetite for more drama and content from the series. "I need there to be 23 episodes a season, and I need them to shoot them faster because there's not enough, especially Beverly Hills and Salt Lake [City]," she declared. This fervent enthusiasm for reality shows illustrates a broader public addiction to the escapist and often outrageous narratives that these series provide.

Roberts’ longing to see her mother in a role that emphasizes authenticity could resonate well with fans. In reality television, the balance of drama, charisma, and relatability is crucial for engaging storytelling. As viewers, we are drawn to characters that embody real-life situations, which align with Emma’s vision for her mother.

While the discussions around casting and familial involvement dominate this narrative, it also raises the question: How far is too far when it comes to reality TV? Will the addition of Kelly Cunningham bring a new dynamic to RHOBH or will it simply mirror the chaotic, dramatic elements that fans are already familiar with?

As fans anticipate future developments, one thing is clear: the Roberts family seems poised to bring their unique blend of personality and drama to a show that's already a staple of American entertainment culture.
