Denise Richards

On September 9, 2020, Denise Richards (pictured on the left) was announced to be leaving the show; after two seasons as a 'Housewife'. She cited the main reason for her departure as not being able to agree on contractual agreements (financial) with the network. However, she also felt that the behaviour from the majority of her co-stars had been "toxic" as they "played dirty". Equally, she didn’t feel that the show was promoting a positive message since she felt the target of a "tearing down" campaign, last season. Since her departure, she made numerous 'Guest Appearances' on the thirteenth season of the show and has since worked on a new show with Bravo, titled: Denise Richards & Her Wild Things; which premiered in March 2025.

Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave

On September 22, 2020, Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave (pictured on the right), via Instagram, announced that she too was departing the series; after three seasons in a full-time capacity. Arroyave confirmed rumors that the network decided not to renew her contract and it has since been said by a Bravo executive, Alex Baskin, that the reason for her axe was since viewers were continuously labelling her as "boring" and bosses felt she was too "self-conscious" for the role. While she likened her exit to "going through a break-up" (sharing how she felt insecurities and questioned whether she was enough for the role), she has now come to terms with the firing and has realised that her contract not being renewed "had nothing to do with not being enough". She continued to make 'Cameo Appearances' in this, the twelfth and the thirteenth seasons of the show.

Reunion[]

  • This is the first in-person 'Reunion' for half of the cast of this season (Garcelle Beauvais, Kathy Hilton, Crystal Kung-Minkoff and Sutton Stracke).
    • This is the second 'Reunion' thought for Beauvias and Stracke; who appeared in their first 'Reunion' during the previous season which was filmed virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
  • Kyle Richards sits in "Head Position" of one of the "Reunion Sofas"; making it her ninth 'Reunion' to do this. Erika Jayne sits on the opposite side in the same position; yet this is a first for her.
    • Lisa Rinna sits in the second position; a first for her since she has been in first or third (last) position in her previous five other in-person 'Reunions'. Garcelle Beauvais also sits in the second position; but in third when Kathy Hilton joins the 'Housewives' for part of the 'Reunion'.
      • Dorit Kemsley sits in third position; a third for her since she did this also in the seventh and ninth seasons, however, she is not in final position like she was in the former two listed 'Reunions'. Sutton Stracke also sits in third position; but in fourth when Hilton joins segments of the 'Reunion'.
  • This marks the first 'Reunion' for all: Erika Jayne, Dorit Kemsley and Lisa Rinna to sit on the same 'Sofa'.
    • It is the third time for Jayne and Rinna to be on the same 'Sofa'; after the seventh and ninth seasons. They switch positions compared to the former two 'Reunions' where Rinna is now on the left of Jayne (in second) as opposed to on the right (in first).
    • However, it is the second time for Jayne and Kemsley to sit on the same 'Sofa'; after the eighth season. Kemsley sat one on the right of Jayne during their last 'Reunion' being sat on same 'Sofa', whereas Jayne is now sat two on the right of Kemsley.
    • Despite this, it is the first time for Kemsley and Rinna to be on the same 'Sofa'.
  • Sitting on the left of Andy Cohen, it is the sixth time for Kyle Richards to do this.
  • This is the first 'Reunion' of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills to consist of four-parts; a rare occurrence in The Real Housewives franchise.
