Morgan Stewart is not joining the cast of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills for season 16, despite a series of rumors that hit the web earlier this week.
Days after the series went into production on its new episodes, with reports making claims of who would return and who would not, Morgan, 38, formerly of E!’s Rich Kids of Beverly Hills, made it clear that she would not be a part of the show.
“Morgan stop playing we need confirmation if [you’re] on RHOBH or not!?!??!!!” a fan wrote in response to a photo Morgan shared on her Instagram Story on August 19.
“I don’t know what happened today but no I am not joining [The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills],” Morgan replied.
Morgan’s post came just as it was revealed that Million Dollar Listing: Los Angeles star Tracy Tutor, 51, would be joining the show after years of rumors, and after a report from Bravo and Cocktails, claimed that the primary cast would consist of Kyle Richards, 57, Erika Jayne, 55, Dorit Kemsley, 50, Sutton Stracke, 54, Bozoma Saint John, 49, Rachel Zoe, 54, and Jennifer Tilly, 67.
As for Kathy Hilton, 67, and Natalie Swanston Fuller, the former will allegedly make guest appearances, and the latter will not be back.
Earlier this month, following just one season on the series, Amanda Frances, 40, confirmed her departure with a statement on Instagram.
“My time on [RHOBH] is complete,” she wrote. “Saying yes to this show was one of the boldest, wildest, most clarifying things I’ve ever done. And I am genuinely grateful—Grateful for the experience. The women. The viewers who saw me, rooted for me, challenged me, quoted me, misunderstood me, defended me, found my work, bought my books, or simply watched me try to explain metaphysics in a room full of diamonds and side-eyes.”
“It was a ministry, honestly, but I came into this experience with an already-full life. And right now, that life is asking for all of me,” Amanda added.
