In a move that's likely to spark excitement among fans of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, former cast member Denise Richards has confirmed her return to the show after attending a drama-filled cast trip earlier this month. "I'm doing some episodes for next season, and I just went on a cast trip, and that was fun and exciting, lots of drama," Denise told Entertainment Tonight during the season 2 premiere of All's Fair in New York on Monday, November 2.

Denise's return marks a significant development in the franchise, particularly given her tumultuous exit from the show in 2020. During her time as a full-time cast member, seasons 9 and 10, Denise was known for her fiery personality and dramatic conflicts with fellow housewives. Her decision to leave the show sparked widespread speculation about the reasons behind her departure, but it appears that she's now eager to rejoin the cast.

According to Us Weekly, Denise has been filming scenes for season 16 alongside returning cast members Kyle Richards, Dorit Kemsley, Sutton Stracke, Rachel Zoe, Bozoma Saint John, Erika Jayne, Kathy Hilton, and Jennifer Tilley. King of Queens actress Leah Remini and Million Dollar Listing alum Tracy Tutor will also join the cast, bringing new energy to the show. While the cast and crew have remained tight-lipped about storylines and potential conflicts, fans can expect plenty of drama and intrigue from these newcomers.

Denise's return may also provide a welcome distraction as she continues to navigate her public divorce from Aaron Phypers. Earlier this week, she stepped out on the red carpet wearing a stunning Norma Kamali dress paired with jewelry from Alexis Bittar. In a post on Instagram, Denise thanked Ryan Murphy Productions for including her in their project, stating, "Well this was fun✨ @ryanmurphyproductions thank you for including me." She also expressed her gratitude for being guest starring with the fabulous ladies and directed by Shinybootz, saying, "What an honor to add this to my resume."

It remains to be seen how Denise's return will impact current season dynamics and whether she'll rekindle any previous friendships on the show. With a talented new cast and plenty of drama brewing, fans are sure to be tuning in eagerly for more updates on the latest developments in the world of RHOBH.
