Jamie Lee Curtisis aware she’s become a meme in the best way — and she’s perfectly okay with that!
TheEverything Everywhere All at Onceactress made an appearance onThe Real Housewives of Beverly Hillslast year when her friend andHalloweencostarKyle Richardshosted an event in support of Curtis’sMy Hand in Yourscharity. But what transpired thereafter was a viral meme due to cast memberDorit Kemsleycalling the charity’s purchasable wind chime “the chicest.”
“I’ve never seen the show,” Curtis, 64, said onVariety’sAwards Circuitpodcast. “I didn’t even see my entire episode. I just saw the meme. The meme that kept on ‘meme-ing.'”
Curtis added: “It became a meme forever.”
Describing how her appearance came to be, Curtis said Richards, 54, asked her about coming onRHOBHto discuss My Hand in Yours.
“This is where the meme that Dorit was talking about how chic my wind chime is. That wasn’t a euphemism. I was a peddler,” she explained. “She was so kind and enthusiastic about how chic our products are that I actually renamed the wind chime — theChic Dorit Wind Chime— on MyHandInYours.com.”
Bravo
Even though she said it was just “a one-off” appearance, Curtis later appeared on the season 12 reunion in October. However,her first cameo on the reality seriesoccurred in season 4, when she reminisced with Richards about their early days working together and the friendship that formed from there.
Other than her viral meme, the only portion of the Bravo hit Curtis has seen was a scene of Richards in tears in the season 12 reunion trailer over the ongoing tension between her sisterKathy Hiltonand series alumLisa Rinna.
“I’ve never seen an episode ofHousewives.I don’t know anything about it, except that I saw a trailer where Kyle was crying,” she told E! News in October. “And I called her immediately and said, ‘Why are you crying? What happened?'”
“I don’t know who made her upset, but I called her out of real concern,” Curtis said, adding it was “important to me.”
