Watch What Happens Live host Andy Cohen recently opened up about the upcoming additions to Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. In an episode of his show, Andy Cohen Live, he revealed that the inclusion of Leah Remini and Tracy Tutor was a decision that had been in the making for some time.

According to Andy, conversations about bringing Leah onto the show began several years ago. "And Leah Remini, we have spoken for several years behind the scenes for several years about this with her," he stated. He noted that Leah's large following and unique personality make her a suitable addition to the franchise. "I think for us, she's such a big star. And she has such a huge profile. This show is so different."

Similarly, Andy mentioned that discussions with Tracy Tutor about joining the cast date back to her appearances on Watch What Happens Live. "Tracy Tutor, almost every time she's on WWHL (promoting Million Dollar Listing), we have the conversation," Andy explained. He described their interactions as a "public flirt" where they discuss the possibility of her joining the show. "It's like, she and I have had a public flirt where I'm like, 'Would you…?' And she's like, 'I would.' And I'm like, 'Well, you know everybody.'"

The two women have already begun to integrate themselves into the RHOBH social circle. A recent photo posted by Tracy shows her alongside fellow cast members Leah, Bozoma Saint John, Sutton Stracke, Kyle Richards, Kathy Hilton, Rachel Zoe, Jennifer Tilly, and Dorit Kemsley at a party in late August.

While how these new additions will impact the dynamic of the show, one thing is certain: Leah and Tracy have been on the radar for some time. As Andy Cohen himself put it, their inclusion was a long time coming. With their combined star power and experience on the network, fans can expect significant changes in the world of RHOBH.
