After just two seasons, former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Denise Richards turned in her diamond. After Denise’s longtime friend Lisa Rinna questioned her about an alleged affair with Brandi Glanville, this “ragamuffin” had had enough. Denise refuted the allegations.

Rinna accepted accountability for her treatment of Denise in 2021. Lastly. Rinna said, “I don’t like my behavior and how I treated her.” “I was cruel and I was mean.”

Denise doesn’t understand what Rinna was thinking during RHOBH Season 10

On the podcast Just B with Bethenny Frankel, Denise was a guest. She told Rinna what had occurred to her friendship.
“I was so disappointed with Lisa Rinna that I wondered what would happen in the upcoming season.” Yes, I had a really bad experience. I felt sad for Lisa Rinna, and it wasn’t good,” Denise said.

“She and I had a friendship that lasted for 20 years, and to see how she could sacrifice that for a show that isn’t going to last forever—she isn’t on it anymore, obviously—like, at what cost?” the woman continued.

Denise believed that if she didn’t join RHOBH, she would still be friends with Rinna. That is probably true. “I think that you learn a lot about people when you live with them, travel, or work with them,” Denise stated. “I had never worked with Rinna before.” And what a joyful experience it was.

However, Denise would be willing to come back now that Rinna has left the program. She did participate in some filming for RHOBH Season 13. Denise remarked, “We’ll see what transpires.” I recently completed a couple episodes, so I’m not sure if they’ll want me back. I didn’t give you a call asking to return.

She went on, “After my second season, I also wondered, ‘How would this make sense if all the women f*cking hate me?’ because I wanted it to be real.” With the exception of Garcelle Beauvais and Sutton Strace, almost everyone did, but Denise continued, “Everyone else was such an asshole to me.” She must be referring to Erika Jayne, Dorit Kemsley, and Kyle Richards.

Denise filmed several scenes as a guest on Season 13. “It’s been fun,” Denise said. “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 Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.
