The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 15 just wrapped, and rumors have been flying about who will be on the season 16 cast.
One such rumor was suggesting who would be back and who would be canned from the current cast.
According to a rumor that was making its rounds, the returning cast members would be Kyle Richards, Erika Jayne, Bozoma Saint John, Sutton Stracke, and Rachel Zoe.
They also claimed Amanda Frances had been given a contract, Jennifer Tilly would be back, and Crystal Kung Minkoff would be back in the mix.
Dorit Kemsley, around whom much of the drama revolved this season, was reportedly “put on pause.”
Alex Baskin, who is an executive producer for RHOBH, took to Instagram to combat the rumor.
“Not true,” he wrote over a screenshot of the alleged tea. He also added a diamond emoji, which is characteristic of RHOBH.
A person named Cosmo Kennedy also claimed they had DM’d with Crystal, and she allegedly denied the rumors that she was returning.
“Babes, are you coming back to the show,” he wrote. “Rumors that be.”
“Ha just a rumor!” Crystal allegedly responded.
When Cosmo expressed his disappointment, Crystal asked him where the rumors are.
As Reality Blurb recently reported, Amanda addressed if she’d be returning to the show next season.
During a May 20 interview with Extra TV, she confirmed that while she was somewhat aware of when filming was set to start for the next season, she hadn’t been “formally asked back yet.”
“I think there’s a good chance they’re going to, but then I have to decide, ‘Do I want to do that again?’ You’ve gotta understand, it’s like three months of filming, but then it’s like six months of interviews, and then the show starts coming out and it’s media. I was cast this time last year — that means it did take one year of my life,” she explained. “It did take a full year, and it was a lot of the year. And I was still obviously running my business, doing my thing, but during the filming chunk of the year, it actually takes up a lot of psychological space doing the show.”
“I wasn’t having, like, creative business ideas. I wasn’t thinking about the next launch. I wasn’t in the space to create and do what I think I’m here to do, you know? The show took a lot,” Amanda elaborated. “But then again, you have all these new people reading my book, checking out my courses, and that feels very meaningful.”
