“She knows Kathy [Hilton] well. She knows Kyle [Richards]. She knows Boz. She was just on Boz‘s podcast. She knows Jennifer Tilly, so she really knows, I think that she must know Sutton [Stracke] from being around,” Andy continued of how she’s connected to the cast.

“It’s just a perfect fit and she’s at a real transitional moment in her life. I mean, I was really rocked by the news that she and Rodg were splitting up, and she is really, I spoke to her a couple months ago and I was like, ‘Rachel, you know,’ I just wanted to make sure in our conversation that she really had her head around it because you know, it’s bananas,” he said. “Whatever, and she did and she’s like, ‘I am excited. I want to be part of this ensemble and I know them, and it seems like such a perfect, you know, moment to come in.’ She’s like, ‘I’m dating, my life is different,’ so I think we’re gonna see the Rachel that we love, but at a really different place in her life, and I’m really excited.”
