Yahoo News Denise Richards confirms return to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Denise Richards has confirmed she will return to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
The James Bond star was a cast member in the ninth and tenth seasons of the Bravo and hayu reality series, before sensationally quitting after falling out with co-star Lisa Rinna.
Three years on from her RHOBH departure, Denise has told Variety that she will return to the show — though as a recurring guest rather than a full-time Housewife.
"I have filmed some episodes," she said. "And it’s been fun. And you know, I’m a big fan of the show, so it was fun to go back and film a lot of stuff with them."

The Hollywood actress explained that her return to RHOBH came about organically when she agreed to attend a screening with her one-time co-star Garcelle Beauvais.
"This all just happened recently on the spur of the moment," she said. "I was at her screening as a friend — like a real friend — I didn’t tell anyone I was gonna be there. Production didn’t know. I just showed up, like, for real life, as a real friend in real life."
Denise mentioned that it was the right time to come back to The Real Housewives even though she felt some of the cast were "very toxic and they played so dirty" in her previous stint.
It is perhaps no surprise that Denise agreed to return to RHOBH only after it was announced a few months ago that friend-turned-nemesis Lisa Rinna would be leaving the show.
Rinna's friend Diana Jenkins also recently announced she would not return for the new season. Returning cast members include Kyle Richards, Garcelle Beauvais, Erika Girardi, Dorit Kemsley, Crystal Kung Minkoff and Sutton Stracke.
Other familiar faces have been filming for the new season as well, with RHOBH OGs Camille Grammer Meyer and Kyle's sister Kim Richards on board. There is no word yet on whether Kathy Hilton will be back.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs on Bravo in the US, and on ITVBe and Hayu in the UK.
