Why David Foster Hates Getting Recognized For The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills

Back in 2005, David Foster appeared on “Princes of Malibu,” a show he called “stupid” and “silly” in the documentary “David Foster: Off the Record,” which was released by Netflix in 2020 (via Us Weekly). He realized then that participating in the show wasn’t going to really hurt his career — but “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” had a different impact. Though Foster is still known for his contributions in the music industry, many people recognize him from his short time on the Bravo show. 

“I would get and still get, ‘I know you, you’re on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.’ And what I want to say is, ‘Hey, I got 16 f***ing Grammys, OK? I’ve sold half a billion records. F**k that show,'” he said in the doc.

And while Foster would like to kiss that chapter of his life goodbye, “Real Housewives” clearly keeps haunting him. For example, Foster made headlines in 2017 when former “The Real Housewives of Orange County” star Kelly Dodd tried getting into his car. Foster had wrapped up a meal at Los Angeles hotspot Craig’s when TMZ caught up with him. Dodd walked up to him and asked if he remembered meeting her, to which he replied, “Yes, a long time ago.” He then got into the driver’s seat of his car when Dodd walked over to the passenger’s side. “You’re gonna have another housewife,” she said, to which Foster said, “No! No! No! Please don’t.”
