During an episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Tilly discussed her marriage to Simpson co-developer Sam Simon. She said that she is still earning money from the program, despite the fact that she divorced him in 1991 and that he passed away in 2015.
In part, Jennifer Tilly is expressing gratitude to The Simpsons for the opulent lifestyle she has had.
During the new episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills that aired on Tuesday, Tilly, who has become a new “friend” of the group this season, revealed that she is still reaping the benefits of her divorce from the late Sam Simon, who was a co-developer of the long-running animated series that airs on FOX.
“Sam Simon, the man who was responsible for creating The Simpsons, was my ex-husband. “I was married to him for seven years, and we were together for approximately ten years,” Jennifer stated during her confessional in the third hour of December.
Following Dorit Kemsley’s disclosure to the group of her divorce from PK, the topic of Jennifer’s previous marriage was brought up.
“When we got divorced, I got a piece of The Simpsons in the divorce settlement, and nobody knew that The Simpsons was going to go on for trillions of years,” Jennifer proceeded to explain. “So every day, honestly, every day I’m like, ‘Thank you, Sam.'”
While the couple was married from 1984 to 1991, The Simpsons has been on television since its premiere in 1989 and is presently in its 35th season. The Simpsons has been on television since 1989. As of the year 2021, The Richest reported that the series had a net worth that was estimated to be $12.33 billion.
In 2015, Simon passed away as a result of complications related to colorectal cancer.
During the episode that aired on Tuesday, Jennifer was also shown flaunting some of her extravagant purchases, including as her Louis Vuitton boat purse from the Summer Spring 2024 collection. The bag has a worth of $33,000, and it was obvious that Erika Jayne, who plays the role of Jennifer, was quite interested in its appearance.
It is not the first time that Jennifer has discussed her settlement; she has done so before. During an interview that she made in November 2021 on the podcast The Originals that is produced by Los Angeles Magazine, she disclosed that her share of Simon’s continuing profits from The Simpsons account for around one-third of those earnings.
“I used to do a lot of movies because the roof was leaking, or to pay for the plumbing, and now I don’t have to,” she said throughout the course of the episode.
