Cast[]
On August 8, 2018, it was announced that all the previous season’s 'Housewives'; which included: Kyle Richards, Lisa Vanderpump, Lisa Rinna, Erika Jayne, Dorit Kemsley and Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave, would be returning to the upcoming ninth season and would be joined by a new main cast member, Denise Richards. It was later confirmed that Camille Grammer would return as a 'Friend of the Housewives' (in a recurring capacity).
After making a 'Cameo' appearance on the fourth season of the show, Denise Richards said that she had wanted to do the show for a while but the "timing was never right"; and had previously had talks with producers. She also admitted that she was excited to get to know her co-stars and showcase her strong friendships with Kyle Richards and Rinna.
Lisa Vanderpump last appeared in the Season Finale. Hurricane Camille. On June 4, 2019, Vanderpump announced that she would not attend the season’s 'Reunion', stating: "The objective of the 'Reunion' is to reunite, right? And I have no inclination to reunite with the women who've been harassing me for ten months now". Following this, Variety announced that she would not return to the series altogether.
Synopsis[]
Much of the season's drama revolves around a dog named, Lucy Lucy Apple Juice, that Dorit Kemsley adopts from Lisa Vanderpump's foundation, Vanderpump Dogs. Kemsley rehomes Lucy after the dog attacks her family, instead of returning it back to the foundation. However, the new owner was also unable to properly care for the dog and ended up taking Lucy to a kill shelter. When the story is leaked to Radar Online, the women unanimously believe that Vanderpump was behind it. Matters are further complicated when Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave confesses that she knew about the drama regarding Lucy and had conspired with two Vanderpump Dogs employees to create a scene for the show so they could embarrass Kemsley. Mellencamp Arroyave insists that Vanderpump was in on the scheme, but Vanderpump denies any involvement. The situation reaches a boiling point when Kyle Richards tells Vanderpump that the group, herself included, believes that Vanderpump orchestrated everything to punish Kemsley for the dog fiasco. Vanderpump subsequently ends her friendship with Richards over the issue and quits the show, refusing to even attend the Reunion.
