RHOBH's Jennifer Tilly Reveals She Got a 'Piece of The Simpsons' in Her Divorce from Co-Creator Sam Simon

The actress revealed that she and Simon were married for seven years before they called it quits

Jennifer Tilly is finding the silver lining in her divorce.

On the Dec. 3 episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, the actress, 66, opened up about her own divorce from her ex-husband Sam Simon while the other Housewives discussed their respective separations from their former spouses.

"It takes a really long time to get over a divorce," she recalled. "My ex-husband was Sam Simon, who [co-created] The Simpsons. I was married to him for seven years. We were together for about 10 years, and then when we got divorced, I got a piece of The Simpsons in the divorce settlement."

"Nobody knew that The Simpsons was going to go on for trillions of years," she added with a laugh. "Honestly, every day, I'm like, 'Thank you Sam!'"

Tilly joined RHOBH as "a friend" for season 14 alongside newcomer Bozoma "Boz" Saint John. Ahead of the season premiere, the Chucky alum told Vulture that she had “always been a superfan” of the hit reality show and was excited to step into her new role.

But after filming for a while, she admitted it isn’t all as glamorous as she thought it would be and revealed what surprised her the most.

“I remember I was like, ‘I live in Beverly Hills, and it’d be kind of fun to see Beverly Hills through the lens of really rich people,’” she explained. “I thought that I was going to see a lot of people shopping on Rodeo Drive, but a lot of the filming that they do is in the Valley, in places where it’s easier to get permits. So it’s not like you’re at the fanciest places in Beverly Hills, arguing.”

“They’re usually arguing at some kind of non–Beverly Hills place because the really fancy, elite places don’t want Housewives screaming at each other in their dining room,” she added.

Tilly said she never thought she would be on the Bravo series — and has even turned down the opportunity before — but this year, she decided to take on the “challenge.”

“To me, it’s like working with Martin Scorsese,” she said. “My boyfriend always says if he got $40 million, he wants to go into space and experience zero gravity. To me, being on Housewives is experiencing zero gravity. I was more excited to meet Kyle Richards and Erika Jayne and the other ladies than I was when I met Elizabeth Taylor.”
