Kathy Hilton Is Reportedly Replacing Sister Kim Richards On The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills For Season 6!

Now that Kim Richards has been officially fired from the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and her sister Kyle Richards is reportedly on the chopping block, new sources are claiming that they are being replaced by their sister Kathy Hilton!

“They’ve wanted to switch things up by trading the sisters for their much more famous sister,” a source close to the show told Radar Online.

But the source said that so far, she has kept her new job a secret from Kim and Kyle.

“The one rub is they told Kathy not to say anything to them. So her sisters, like the rest of the cast, are in the dark about the new casting.”

Hilton’s arrival has been in the works for years: According to the source, RHOBH execs have tried since the beginning to have Kathy on the show, but she never had any interest until now.

“Execs initially wanted Kathy for the show years ago, but she passed. And she ended up recommending her sisters who were clamoring to do it,” the source said.

As we all know, Kathy Hilton is the mother of Paris and Nicky Hilton, and wife of real estate mogul Rick Hilton.
