While some Real Housewives of Beverly Hills stars have been a part of the Bravo hit since season 1 — looking at you, Kyle Richards — others have proved that diamonds aren’t forever.
The sixth installment in the Real Housewives franchise was announced in March 2010 and aired its first season seven months later. At the time, the series starred Kyle, Adrienne Maloof, Kim Richards, Lisa Vanderpump, Camille Grammer and Taylor Armstrong.
Over the years, the cast has seen plenty of shake-ups, most notably Lisa’s dramatic exit in June 2019. Us Weekly exclusively confirmed at the time that the restaurateur was not returning to the reality series after nine seasons.
“I made the decision to leave. It was a very difficult year for me, personally and professionally,” she told Us shortly after she skipped the season 9 reunion taping. “I had wonderful things happen this year, opening up TomTom and the cocktail garden in Vegas. The Housewives, it’s just, it’s emotionally too difficult to deal with.”
Speculation that Lisa was exiting the Bravo series began brewing in November 2018 amid rumors that she wasn’t getting along with her costars. Denise Richards — who joined the show for season 9 in 2019 — also experienced some ups and downs with her cast members, Brandi Glanville specifically.
Denise’s rep confirmed in September 2020 that she would not be returning to RHOBH for its 11th season amid her messy feud with Brandi, who claimed that the two women hooked up. (She has repeatedly denied rumors that she cheated on husband Aaron Phypers.)
In the years that followed, some newbies — including Crystal Kung Minkoff and Annemarie Wiley — have entered the fold, but not all of them stuck around for long.
