Denise Richards is offering updates on her relationships with Garcelle Beauvais and Lisa Rinna.
After skipping Garcelle’s 55th birthday bash on a recent episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 12 and suffering a falling out with Lisa over her claims about her alleged affair with Brandi Glanville amid season 10, Denise is insisting that she wanted to attend Garcelle’s event.
“Garcelle, I really did want to be there for her birthday,” Denise told Us Weekly on July 6. “She knows why I couldn’t [come]. It was unfortunate circumstances why I wasn’t able to, but she knows. Everything’s great with her.”
While Garcelle suggested she was “done” with Denise after she failed to show up to her party, the two of them made amends after the scene was shot and recently joined Sutton Stracke for a lunch date in Los Angeles.
“We recently had lunch together, actually, and Sutton was there too,” Denise shared. “It’s all good with Garcelle, and I love and adore her.”
As for her relationship with Lisa, Denise confirmed a screenshot Lisa recently shared of an apology she offered to her former RHOBH castmate, via text.
“She did reach out to me, and she did apologize, and it meant a lot to me that she did… [But] I didn’t hear anything outside of that,” she revealed.
In Lisa’s text to Denise, she had written, “Denise, I am deeply sorry for the way I treated you on and around the show. I hope you are doing well, and I wish you and your family nothing but the very best,” and Denise had replied, “Thank you so much for your text. It means a lot. I hope you and your family is good.”
Although Denise exited RHOBH on the heels of a messy storyline surrounding her relationship with Brandi, she said, “never say never,” when asked about a possible return.
“I absolutely don’t regret going on the show. I really loved working,” she admitted. “I love the moments that we had traveling and dinners with each other. And there’s a great camaraderie with the womanhood on the show. And that’s something that I think is really positive.”
“There’s some challenging times that I experienced,” she continued. [But] “all the women have at one point or another.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 12 airs Wednesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
