AceShowbiz - In a revelation that has fans and fellow cast members of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" (RHOBH) alike on the edge of their seats, Melanie Griffith is reportedly in the final stages of discussion to join the reality TV titan.
At 66, the acclaimed "Working Girl" actress is set to spice up the already fiery dynamic of the show, much to the trepidation of her potential castmates. According to exclusive sources from In Touch, Griffith's addition to the squad could be a game-changer for the Bravo series, currently starring personalities such as Erika Jayne and Dorit Kemsley.
Griffith, who has been single since her split from Antonio Banderas in 2015, is considered by many to be a perfect fit for the show, known for its lavish lifestyles and dramatic storylines. Close friend and "RHOBH" stalwart Kyle Richards has been particularly instrumental in guiding Griffith towards accepting the offer.
"Melanie's been thinking about it for a while, and the money's too good to turn down," revealed an insider. But Griffith's leap to reality TV could be motivated by more than just financial gain - the promise of adventure and the chance to shake up her "predictable" life is also a tantalizing prospect.
The news has been met with mixed reactions from current cast members, many of whom are reportedly "sharpening their claws" in anticipation. A source close to the show hinted at underlying tensions, with fears that Griffith could overshadow existing Housewives with more compelling storylines.
"It's got them riled!" the insider commented, hinting at drama brewing behind the scenes even before Griffith has signed on the dotted line.
While Griffith and Richards reportedly shared a laugh over the initial rumors of Griffith's involvement in the show back in 2022, the possibility now seems to be becoming a reality. Despite denials from an NBCUniversal representative and skepticism from some of Griffith's circle, insiders affirm she is close to sealing the deal to become the latest addition to "RHOBH".
For a show that thrives on the unexpected, the inclusion of Melanie Griffith could indeed be the fresh twist that RHOBH needs to keep viewers hooked. As negotiations reach their climax, fans eagerly await official confirmation that could see Melanie Griffith stepping into the glittering and tumultuous world of one of reality TV's most beloved franchises.
