“I didn’t like it,” they said Nobody Wants This The creator said on the Monday, September 30, episode of Bravo’s Watch Live with Andy Cohen. “When you watch these shows, there are things like train crashes that I can’t stop watching. Suddenly, your family is a part of you, it’s not fun.”
Producer and composer David, 74, appeared RHOBH accompanied by his ex-wife Yolanda Hadid. The couple was married from 2011 to 2017. David is currently married American Idol alum Katharine McPhee.
Erin explained to the host Andy Cohen“You want to be able to laugh at it. I prefer to be a voyeur and a spectator. It’s like people with Instagram accounts, they don’t post but they want to see everything. Because there is chaos and you get to enjoy the chaos.”
Although her father is estranged from Yolanda, Erin said she keeps in touch with her former siblings, including herself. Gigi again Bella Hadid. Foster was also a foster child Brody Jenner in the 1990s when David got married Linda Thompson, Caitlyn JennerEx-wife from 1991 to 2005.
“Yes, I am,” Erin replied to a fan’s question about whether she still talks to her adopted siblings. “Actually, Gigi just DMed me last night saying she’s starting to watch [Nobody Wants This]. Children don’t divorce — only parents do.”
When asked if she keeps in touch with ex-housewife Yolanda, Erin said, “Not as much as the kids.”
Erin and her sister, Sarah again JordanDavid’s children from his second marriage to Rebecca Dyerwhom he married from 1982 to 1986. Speaking on the “Sibling Revelry” podcast hosted by Kate again Oliver Hudson in 2019, Foster and her sister Sara opened up about not growing up with their father after the split from Dyer.
“Our father was raising other children. He didn’t raise it. She was raising Brandon and Brody,” Sara said at the time. So, for Erin, what weighed heavily on her, was me. I was like, dealing with all my emotional distress, which was watching my father raise other children. That’s what kept me up at night.”
“We didn’t live with my dad after our parents separated,” added Erin. “So, from ages 3 and 5 we lived with our mom, and our dad lived in this $20 million house with Brandon and Brody. It had a trolley, it had a pool and this thing.”
