‘The View’ Alum Debbie Matenopoulos Claims She Talked to Bravo ‘Last Week’ About a ‘RHOBH’ Role

Former The View star Debbie Matenopoulos might have one of Bravo’s giant diamonds in her future, thanks to a stint on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

“I don’t even know if I’m allowed to say this,” Matenopoulos, 50, said during a recent appearance on SiriusXM’s Page Six Radio. “Yes, I am currently talking [to Bravo].”

Matenopoulos’ honest answer came after she was questioned about past RHOBH rumors. (Bravo has yet to make any official casting announcement.)

“When I mean currently, I mean currently,” Matenopoulos emphasized. “Like, last week.”

The TV host joked that she’s “already an oversharer.” She jokingly wondered: “Do I really need these people in my home?”

Us Weekly has reached out to Bravo for comment.

Matenopoulos was one of the original panelists on The View, appearing on the show from 1997 to 1999. Over the years, she’s held jobs as an entertainment journalist on E!’s Live from the Red Carpet, The Insider and Entertainment Tonight.

Her potential appearance on the next season of RHOBH comes after Garcelle Beauvais announced last month that she was leaving the show after five seasons. (The actress kicked off her stint on RHOBH in 2020, during season 10.)

“It’s been a wild ride,” Beauvais shared in an Instagram video on March 25. “I mean, some amazing things have happened, and some hard things have also happened, but it’s been a ride nevertheless.”

Beauvais explained that “one of the reasons” for her departure was because of 17-year-old twin sons, Jaid and Jax, who are gearing up for their senior year of high school.

“I have the most exciting projects that I am developing, producing and acting in,” she added. “I can’t tell you anything right now, but you’ll know soon.”

The RHOBH season 14 reunion — which airs its third and final part on Tuesday, April 15 — offered a larger hint into Beauvais’ reason for leaving.

She was put in the “hot seat” during the first part of the reunion, which aired on April 1.

“I can’t have an opinion. I can’t say how I feel,” Beauvais said at one point of the episode, after getting questioned by the other RHOBH women. “I just have to go along, just to go along. Everybody can go f*** themselves, I don’t care.”

A clip from Tuesday’s episode, released by Bravo, showed Beauvais walking off stage — and refusing to take part in a cast photo — once filming had officially concluded.

“I’m out. I’m not. I’m not,” she said while walking out of the studio. “Nope, I’m not doing it.”

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs on Bravo Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET.
