Inside the Dramatic ‘Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ Season 10 Reunion: Everything We Know

Let the drama continue! If you think season 10 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is intense, just wait for the reunion. Kyle Richards, Teddi Mellencamp, Lisa Rinna, Denise Richards, Dorit Kemsley, Erika Jayne and series newcomer Garcelle Beauvais reunited this month to wrap up the latest season, but not everyone was happy with the outcome. A large part of season 10 focused on the claims that former RHOBH star Brandi Glanville had a sexual relationship with Denise, 49 — claims that the Wild Things star has repeatedly denied. In January, Us Weekly confirmed the Celebrity Big Brother alum, 47, was set to appear on this season to talk all about her alleged hookup with Denise — also claiming she has proof of the affair. [jwplayer YWVLdS8C] “I love for things to play out on television instead of social media,” the Real Girl Next Door author said on The Talk on June 30, days after Brandi posted a photo that appeared to be her and Brandi kissing. “But the stuff that’s been out there, I have been through it in the media with different claims being made. So for me, personally, this is like kindergarten. I’m, like, whatever. We’ll just let it play out on the show, it is what it is. … I can’t speak for anyone else." In one trailer for the season, Denise is accused of sending cease and desist letters so that no one on the show can discuss her alleged relationship with Brandi. “Let me say this — I'm gonna go on the record — sending a cease and desist to [the network and your costars], that's like trying to break the house in Vegas,” Erika told Entertainment Tonight in April. “The house always wins. Don't be stupid. Save your money.” That cease and desist, according to Lisa, 57, immensely affected the reunion taping. Scroll through the gallery below for everything we know.

BS or No BS

Garcelle and Dorit disagreed with Lisa’s claims that the reunion was “bulls—t.” 

“It wasn't. No, everybody has their own opinion,” Garcelle told Us. “That's not the stance I would share, but she has a reason why she felt that way.”

On WWHL on July 23, Dorit added that the reunion wasn’t “bulls—t” and very “dramatic.”

Unfollowing

Following the taping, Lisa unfollowed Garcelle, 53, on Instagram.

“S—t happens. Things go down,” Garcelle told Us about her decision to unfollow Lisa. “I wouldn’t say [our friendship is] over. But we’re not going to have any sleepovers anytime soon.”

According to fan accounts, Denise also stopped keeping up with several of her costars, including Lisa, who has continued to throw shade her way via Instagram.

No Brandi

Despite assumptions that Brandi would appear on the reunion, the Drinking and Tweeting: And Other Brandi Blunders author ultimately did not appear after a call with production. She is set to film a separate sit-down with Andy Cohen.

"I had the tech rehearsal and everything and y'all know — I don't cancel, I don't run away. I'm just not a coward,” Brandi revealed on her podcast on Friday. “We just talked about how I was feeling and how the [Housewives] were feeling and we honestly came to a mutual decision that instead of going to the reunion — as I was set to do — I would sit down separately with Andy and do more of a one-on-one.”

Too Hard on Denise?

Garcelle told Us that her costars were “without question” too hard on Denise during the reunion.

“I felt like [Denise] was being hit hard all the time and I felt like it was hard, time after time, after time,” she said. “At some point, you have to believe someone’s truth or just go, ‘OK’ and move on, but it wasn’t that way. I just felt like they were too harsh on her.”

The “Going to Bed With Garcelle” podcast host added that the reunion was “intense” for everyone. “Everybody’s on high alert, it was like code orange. … It’s a long day,” she said. “It’s a 13-hour-day, and obviously, we did it virtually, so that adds another thing to it, but it was just heated. It was a lot.”
