FILTHY language, poor behaviour as role models and women undermining the sisterhood are things Real Housewives of Melbourne survivor Chyka Keebaugh won’t miss about the high-drama reality series.

Keebaugh shut the door on the series this year after three seasons.

And, while grateful for the experience, not everything was to her liking.

“The thing I did not like about some of the aspects of the show was I am very much a believer in women supporting women, and I think it is a really nice thing to be a role model for someone, and sometimes I thought that was not shown,’’ Keebaugh said while hosting a lunch to launch the Georg Jensen by Heemskerk Christmas cuvee collaboration on Thursday.

“I thought the language was not really for me and I know that people thought I was a fence sitter, but there were moments where I just felt ‘I can’t get involved in that, that is just not who I am’.”

Keebaugh’s comments on the show’s language come as fellow Housewife Gamble Breaux was in Adelaide this week peppering an argument at a barbershop with words such as “d---head’’ and “f---”.

While a fourth series is yet to be officially confirmed, Foxtel is quietly casting for new Housewives to join the Melbourne franchise.

Keebaugh offered some words of advice to wannabes.

“Know why you are doing it, have fun — it is a TV show — and remember there are cameras on you all the time so what you say is there forever,’’ she said.
