Eileen Davidson Says RHOBH Wanted Her Back but She Turned It Down Over “Emotional” Cost

Eileen Davidson is setting the record straight on whether she would ever return to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and it sounds like fans should not expect it anytime soon.

In a recent interview with Soap Opera News, Eileen revealed that while she has been approached about coming back, the reality of it just did not feel right for her.

“I learned a long time ago not to say never but I don’t see it,” she said.

She then shared that producers did reach out not too long ago with an offer.

“I’d been asked to go back for a couple episodes last year but the money and the whole thing wasn’t worth the emotional thing.”

Eileen made it clear that her decision is personal and based on what she feels she can handle, not necessarily a reflection of the show itself.

She explained that while the experience taught her a lot, it also came with challenges.

“What people will do to be famous.”

Eileen joined RHOBH in 2014 and quickly became known for her more grounded approach compared to some of the other cast members. During her time on the show, she was often at the center of major storylines, including her long running tension with Lisa Vanderpump and her close friendship with Rinna.

Before and after her time on Bravo, Eileen built a long career in daytime television, starring in soaps like The Young and the Restless and Days of Our Lives, which gave her a very different kind of spotlight compared to reality TV.

Although fans have continued to ask for her return over the years, Eileen’s latest comments suggest that for her, the emotional cost of stepping back into that environment simply outweighs the benefits.

Eileen was a bit meh overall, but she did deliver one of my all time favourite lines "Beast? How dare you!" We'll always have that :)

Meh, Eileen was a dud for the most part. I mean, she was there and it was fine but was she a big stand out, an elemental player in the overall game? Uh, no. Yeah, no loss… https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/f6def978245751a7ee0853aa62e63b3614e7766d5e928b1c1c89b2c23dfe534d.gif

Knowing what we now know about her, she's a fcked up, damaged, and loathsome human being. I would never watch her again.

Danced on Charlie Kirk's grave, and then double downed. Sick bitch.

Typical rich, white female liberal. I guess she thought that would score her some points in Hollyweird.

Bingo ... I think that's most of it, but it's getting more and more difficult NOT to believe that people like her are just evil soulless beings. I'm especially bothered because I was ED's biggest cheerleaders.

The only thing I remember about Eileen was that scene where EJ turned into the Exorcist kid and growled at Eileen about some comment she made. Eileen looked like she was going to have a heart attack. And then, EJ pestered her to get a full time spot on that soap opera. Like, that was ever going to happen. I swear EJ is really a demon. 👿 https://media2.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTg5OGZmOWM5OXVxaWV5YzZjOGVmbGZ1OHA1bHd3YjJqY200NjFsaThqM3BuazRpMyZlcD12MV9naWZzX3NlYXJjaCZjdD1n/1yjaiyw8ZRsRZ3HQu3/giphy-downsized-small.mp4
