Kyle Richards fueled rumors regarding Kris Jenner‘s potential addition to the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast on Saturday night when she posted a photo of the two of them enjoying a sleepover with longtime series guest star Faye Resnick.
Amid rumors suggesting that Kris and Kathy Hilton could appear on the new episodes, Kyle enjoyed a fun night in with her besties as a Bravo executive addressed recent casting rumors, including Sutton Stracke‘s possible return, and explained why it was important to break the fourth wall during season 10.
“Never outgrow slumber parties,” Kyle wrote in the caption of her group photo on October 10.
In recent weeks, rumors have been swirling in regard to who will be brought to the RHOBH cast for season 11 following the exits of Denise Richards and Teddi Mellencamp. While a casting announcement will likely not be made for many months, Erica Forstadt, Vice President, Current Production at Bravo spoke to The Daily Dish about the reports last week.
“I can’t speak to who is coming back next season or if there are any new people this season. We still kind of are in preproduction but I will say that Sutton was certainly a fan favorite and we love her, too,” Erica said, adding that Kathy’s addition is “possible.”
“With Kyle, this is going to be her 11th season and she has opened up our family life to us in an extraordinary way and I think both of her sisters are fascinating. I hope [Kathy will eventually join],” she explained.
As for the breaking of the fourth wall last season, Erica said that being honest with the footage, despite Denise’s attempt to shut down a conversation about her alleged hookups with Brandi Glanville by yelling, “Bravo, Bravo, Bravo,” was the “only way” to tell the story.
“With Denise [Richards] and the other women, it was the only way to tell an honest and true narrative,” she continued. “As a fan of the Housewives, and I’ve watched so many different seasons of shows. And even Beverly Hills, there would be times where there’d be conversations between, let’s say Lisa Vanderpump and somebody else and they were kind of talking in code.”
She added, “As a viewer, I was always trying to figure out what they were talking about. And sometimes I just didn’t understand. If you remember the season where Lisa and Kyle [Richards] and [Lisa] Rinna … it was the year of Munchausen. ‘You brought me out and you wanted me to say it.’ I remember watching it and saying, ‘But what really happened? Because I don’t really understand what they’re talking about.’ And I think it’s still enjoyable and I still loved watching it as a viewer. But with this season, no way we could tell the story without doing what we did.”
