Now that it's been confirmed that Kathryn Edwards and Yolanda Hadid won't return to the Bravo hit reality show's seventh season, producers will be adding new blood and it looks like Dorit Kemsley has signed on.
An insider tells Us Weekly exclusively that Kemsley, a Brit, is close friends with Lisa Vanderpump. Kemsley married businessman Paul Kemsley in March 2015, and they have one son, who was a baby when the pair tied the knot.
Vanderpump recently made a big announcement of her own, as she tweeted on Thursday, July 7, that she is returning for season 7, despite her previous hesitation. A source told E! News that Vanderpump is excited and more comfortable now that there's a new Housewife in her corner. The new Housewife, who is being kept under wraps for now (most likely it's Dorit), is a friend of Vanderpump's. The newcomer could very well likely have her back should Vanderpump become the drama target again.
Kemsley seems to know a few A-listers as they're seen hanging out with the legendary singer, Boy George.
The fates of the other season 6 ladies — Kyle Richards, Lisa Rinna, Eileen Davidson and Erika Girardi — are not yet known. But it's been rumored that Eileen Davidson, along with OG Kim Richards will return for Season 7 in reduced role. However, Bravo has declined to comment on the Season 7 casting news. A premiere date has not yet been announced.
