News about the response to her wealth. “Number one, I don’t think of myself as rich. But I guess I’m delusional because I do have several properties and a purse apparently that cost $33,000.” “I thought everybody knew that I had a piece of The Simpsons,” she added. “It’s not a large piece, but even a little piece is something to write home about.” She adds she was shocked by the reaction to what she revealed on the show in an episode back in December. “The thing I was astonished by, people thought that that was fabulous,” Jennifer dished. “They were like, ‘She has a house next door to her house and she bought a $4,000 dress for her doll.’ They’re like ‘high five.’ I thought people would be like, ‘That’s horrible that she spent that much money for a dress for her doll when people are hungry.’ But I think the service that Housewives serves is people like to live vicariously through us.” “This is why people love Housewives,” she continues. “‘They’re so rich and they can afford all the plastic surgeon that the heart could desire and designer clothes and jewels, but they’re still not happy.’ That is the key to Housewives.
