Applegate added that she wouldn’t have wanted to participate in the outings that make the show successful, like group dinners or hangouts with the cast. “I would have been in sweatpants and lying on my bed. What fun is that? No, none of that. No, no. I would be the worst housewife anyway,” she said.
