Denise Richards Confirms Return to Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
“It all just happened on the spur of the moment recently,” Richards explained
Denise Richards returns to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills three years after leaving the Bravo show.
While promoting her new series Paper Empire at Canneseries, the 52-year-old actress opened up diversity She returned to the reality show as a guest.
“I’ve done a few episodes,” Richards confirmed. “And it was fun. And you know, I’m a huge fan of the show, so it was fun going back and filming a lot of stuff with them.”
According to the Two and a Half Men star, her appearance in the upcoming season was originally unplanned and came about at the last minute. Richards had attended a screening of RHOBH star Garcelle Beauvais without the knowledge of the Bravo production team. One thing led to another and she was invited to several more events.

“It all just happened spontaneously recently,” she explained. “I went to their screening as a friend – like a real friend – I didn’t tell anyone I would be there. Production didn’t know. I just showed up, like in real life, as a real friend in real life.”
“The next day I was asked to go to some events — and it was really fun,” she added.
Though her status on the show is undefined, Richards shared that she will not appear in any promotional material with a diamond.
Her return comes after Lisa Rinna’s departure from the show; Denise has been involved in frequent arguments with Rinna and Brandi Glanville for two seasons on the reality series.

“When I left after my sophomore season, I just felt like some of the women were very toxic and playing so dirty,” Richards continued. “I get that there has to be drama, but I also think it’s funny to see women having fun, especially in this age group.”
She remarked, “I also think it’s great to show that you can have fun, but I don’t think trying to tear people down is a positive message. You can have your opinion, but don’t try to put people down. I don’t think it’s correct. I mean, that part I don’t like.
Though this season won’t be without a fight, Richards claimed she’s not worried about getting caught up in the show’s drama.
“I feel like I wasn’t drawn into it. I was really myself on the show,” she said. “And I think some of the women are different in front of and behind the camera. And I think you know what? Don’t produce yourself. Just be yourself. You get a group of six to eight [to] 10 women together, your drama comes up authentically. Leave it at that and have fun with it.”
