Kyle Richards' Fate on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Revealed

Kyle Richards' Fate on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Revealed

E! News·2025-06-14 06:01

This 9021-O.G. isn't going anywhere.

Andy Cohen revealed Kyle Richards' future on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and, not to worry Bravoholics, because the Halloween Ends actress is in fact returning for a milestone 15th season.

"Kyle is coming back," Andy let slip while co-hosting Jenna & Friends with Jenna Bush Hager on Today June 13. "I don't know if I'm supposed to announce that, but she is."

Andy also hinted that Kyle's costars Sutton Stracke, Bozoma Saint John, Jennifer Tilly and sister Kathy Hilton will also likely be returning while discussing the recent news that celebrity stylist and fashion designer Rachel Zoe is joining the upcoming season.

"Rachel Zoe kind of started her television career here on Bravo with The Rachel Zoe Project," the 57-year-old noted on the NBC morning news show. "And she was so iconic in those years and she had so many catchphrases. Now, the great thing is she legitimately knows Boz, Sutton, Jennifer Tilly, Kathy Hilton. So, she knows them and she's in that universe. She's going to fit right in perfectly."

And no one was more shocked to learn about Rachel's addition than the former First Daughter.

"Jenna Bush gasped in the dressing room this morning when she found out," Andy revealed, to which Jenna replied, "I didn't know Rachel Zoe would be into it!"

Bravo has yet to announce if longtime cast members Dorit Kemsley and Erika Jayne have been invited back next season. Meanwhile, Garcelle Beauvais exited the show in March on bad terms after major season 14 drama.

As for Rachel's return to reality TV, she revealed she's "beyond excited" for her Bravo homecoming.

“I’ve been living my best, new life and it felt like the perfect time to come back to TV and share it all with you," the 53-year-old—who shares kids Skyler, 14, and Kaius, 11, with ex Rodger Berman—told Us Weekly June 6. "Here we go… RZ 2.0!”

Rachel’s new chapter comes after she announced their divorce after 26 years of marriage in September.

"After 33 years together and 26 years married, Rodger and I have come to the mutual decision to end our marriage," Rachel wrote in Instagram. "We are incredibly proud of the loving family we have created and our countless memories together. Our number one priority has been and will always be our children."

Despite their split, Rachel said she and Rodger "are committed to co-parent our boys and to continue to work together within the many businesses we share."

Bravo's ill-fated attempt at highlighting our nation's capital brought together four women so forgettable you'd be forgiven for erasing them from your memory—though their names are Mary Amons, Lynda Erkiletian, Cat Ommanney and Stacie Scott Turner—and one so desperate for fame that she gate-crashed a party at the White House. More on her later.

Who?

Vaguely familiar, but...

Once upon a time, DeShawn starred on the same TV show as NeNe Leakes. Surprising, we know.

This one-season Housewife brought nothing to the Orange County table.

Utah's newest season two Housewife went out with a bang (and not in a good way). In January 2022, Jennie was fired after "offensive" and racially insensitive old Facebook posts resurfaced online. Jennie later apologized but the damage was done.

Her defining trait was "cougar."

The Orange County doctor was never a source of drama during season 16 and her brief marriage troubles with eternally shirtless husband Ryne (or Ryan?) were less than riveting. However, we will never forget Dr. Jen getting absolutely wasted on wine during the Dubrows' insanely awkward—yet wildly entertaining—dinner party.

The nurse anesthetist's flop first season can be summed up in one cringe-worthy word we hope we never hear again: Esophagus-gate

Katie loved to talk about her charity work, but...didn't do much else on screen. She was one and done, only to come back and not contribute much as a friend. Leaving the cast trip early? A Housewives no-no.

Her marriage problems were on full display the two seasons she was a full-time Housewife...that and her champagne room are the two memorable things about Charrisse.

A one-and-done Housewife, Shamari was at least fun?

While it was nice to see some diversity in the lily-white O.C., Peggy ultimately proved to be a frustrating presence in season 12. The fights she chose to pick were bizarre, and often involving someone using a word she simply didn't understand, and her decision to simply hide out in her room for an entire day during the trip to Iceland proved that she wasn't really cut out for this Real Housewives life.

Instead of bonding with fellow Nigerian costar Wendy Osefo during season eight, Nneka's first season storyline centered entirely around her allegedly accusing Wendy's mom of being a witch (yes, seriously). We wish we could have seen the two bond over their shared culture rather than fighting with no resolve.

Noella spun through season 16 like a tornado of frantic energy. While her personal struggles were somewhat compelling (her husband James up and left the country and asked for a divorce right before filming started), it was her constant drama with queen bee Heather Dubrow that helped her not land completely at the bottom of the list. Maybe with more time and another season, we'll warm up to Mrs. Bergener.

From peacekeeper in her first season to unrelenting complaints about a thrown cake and unfounded claims of anti-Semitism in her second (and last) season, we're not sure we've ever seen a quicker Real Housewives fall from grace than this one.

Everything Amber and her husband Jim did seemed to reek of desperation. Plus, he was involved in more of the drama than she was. Not a good look.

All we remember about Karent is that she was a dentist and none of her co-stars seemed to like her at all. Next!

This was a real person with a show on Bravo. We promise.

As one of RHONY's more recent one-and-dones, Jules' tenure was too brief to rank any higher. However, she sure did deliver her fair share of drama. 

So unnecessary they couldn't even get individual taglines.

Much like co-star Sara Al Madani, Nina exemplified a multidimensional, successful Arab woman who is blending modern life with centuries-old cultural traditions. She avoided most of the season one drama and was sometimes overshadowed by her co-stars' bigger, louder personalities.

Taleen was a nice addition to RHODubai's sophomore season, but we only have one season to judge her on.

The America's Next Top Model veteran picked up a peach for seasons 11 and 12, but never really made an impression in the world of RHOA, aside from being pregnant for what felt like her entire tenure. Points for that epic read of Marlo Hampton while in Tokyo, though.

Per usual, we typically need to see more than one season to place a first-time Housewife higher on our list. But Katie came in swinging during RHOC's 18th season, immediately going up against veteran Housewife Heather Dubrow. It takes a brave woman to call B.S. on Ms. Fancypants.

Sara's positive, enlightened outlook on life was certainly pleasant, but didn't provide for much drama (besides that one time she offered co-star Caroline Brooks some not-so-well received parenting advice). However, the tech entrepreneur shattered stereotypes of what it means to be a modern Muslim woman in the Middle East and for that we applaud her. 

RHONJ's season 13 newbies certainly fit the mold of your typical Garden State Housewife and quickly found themselves in a season-long fight over literally nothing that Andy Cohen deemed pointless at the reunion. The former friends unfortunately didn't bring much more substance during season 14.

Larsa didn't make a big impression on season one before leaving the series. When Peacock revived RHOM for season four in 2021, her whole storyline was about being the ex-BFF of Kim Kardashian. (and selling sexy feet pics on OnlyFans...)

Ana followed up her one season as a Bravolebrity by competing on season 12 of Next Food Network Star in 2016. She didn't make it there, either.

Unfortunately, she was nothing more than a punching bag for Brandi Glanville. Plus, her tagline celebrating the icky notion that you can never be too skinny was gross.
