Brandi Glanville confirmed that Kathy Hilton is joining The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills as a “friend” for the show’s upcoming eleventh season.
During the latest episode of her Brandi Glanville Unfiltered podcast, she confirmed the news to her guest, RHONY alum Barbara Kavovit, that Hilton has signed on to appear as a friend for the future episodes of RHOBH.
“Kathy Hilton is coming on,” Brandi said, according to a report by Reality Blurb. “She’s going to be a ‘friend of.’ I think it’s already out there so I’m hoping I’m not spilling any tea.”
Rumors about Hilton joining the Bravo hit reality series came after Denise Richards and Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave announced their departures from the show.
According to a report by Page Six, the mother of Paris and Nicky Hilton only wants to join as a “friend of the Housewives.”
A source said Hilton doesn’t want to be full-time, simply because “it’s easier” to make cameos and also because she doesn’t have to attend the RHOBH reunion tapings.
Last month, Hilton reacted to the reports that she’s in talks to join RHOBH for the show’s upcoming eleventh season. Hilton has been rumored to join her sister Kyle Richards on the show for years — however, this time around, she certainly didn’t deny the rumors like she has in the past.
“@KyleRichards18 drum roll @kathyhilton next season,” a user wrote in the comment section of Kyle Richards’ Instagram post which was dedicated to Teddi Mellencamp following her announcement that her contract wasn’t renewed.
Hilton quipped back, “Your [SIC] very kind. I am thinking?????”
The news comes after TMZ reported that Kathy is in talks to join RHOBH. The outlet claimed that the mother of Paris and Nicki Hilton has been offered the role of “Friend” — meaning she would be making regular appearances but she would not hold a diamond. The source revealed that Hilton is indeed interested but has not made a decision.
Hilton has made several guest appearances on the show, as her sister Kyle Richards and Kim Richards have been part of the series for ten seasons now.
