Kathy Hilton's Role on RHOBH Reportedly Limited After Years of Guest Appearances

The fate of Kathy Hilton on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills remains uncertain following recent casting updates for season 16. Following Amanda Frances' exit from the series, Bravo announced its primary cast for the upcoming season.

According to Bravo, the main cast will consist of Kyle Richards, Erika Jayne, Dorit Kemsley, Sutton Stracke, Bozoma Saint John, Rachel Zoe, and Jennifer Tilly, with Jennifer supposedly upgraded from her "friend" status to a full-time role. However, Kathy Hilton and Natalie Swanston Fuller, who previously held "friend" roles, will reportedly no longer be part of the cast.

There is still speculation about Kathy's potential future appearances, with reports suggesting she may continue to make guest appearances. Meanwhile, Crystal Kung Minkoff has been mentioned as a possible newcomer to the series, although details regarding her potential addition remain unclear.

The cast is currently preparing for a major trip to Africa, where filming locations have already been established by the production team. This development comes after another significant change to the series, as Amanda Frances confirmed her exit earlier this month.
