'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ Season 10: Lisa Vanderpump Is Out, Garcelle Beauvais and Sutton Stracke Are In

A decade of RHOBH! Lisa Rinna, Kyle Richards, Denise Richards, Teddi Mellencamp, Dorit Kemsley and Erika Jayne are all returning for season 10 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Lisa Vanderpump, however, announced her decision to quit the series after nine seasons in June. The SUR owner’s pal Lance Bass told Us Weekly in September that Vanderpump is “doing great” after her departure. “For the last year, she’s been very down,” the former boybander told Us. “I mean, it’s been a hard year for her, her family situation. Of course, the girls turning on her, but it was nice to see her smile again and you know, she’s back to Lisa.” Vanderpump, who lost her brother and mother within 10 months of each other, was at odds with the majority of her costars during season 9 after she was accused of selling a story to the press about Dorit’s dog. She ultimately skipped the reunion taping, telling Us, “It was a very difficult year for me, personally and professionally.” [jwplayer OEyD5fNg-l3ahXupL] While producer Andy Cohen previously declared that “no one will ever replace” Vanderpump, Bravo later announced Garcelle Beauvais and Sutton Stracke will be featured during the 10th season of the Bravo franchise. “[Sutton is] a great addition to the group. She’s fun, she’s full of life, and she’s got some exciting things on the horizon, so we’re all excited to see it,” Dorit told Us in September. [And] I love Garcelle. She’s so wonderful. Great spirit, she’s super sweet, she’s fun, she’s funny.” Teddi is also a fan of adding “more girls to the mix.” “Everybody’s got great, big, fun personalities. You know?” she told Us. “I’m sure there will be a lot of fun and a lot of juicy stuff that happens as well!” Scroll through for everything we know about season 10 of RHOBH — so far:

“I made the decision to leave. It was a very difficult year for me, personally and professionally,” she told Us at the time. “I had wonderful things happen this year, opening up and TomTom and the cocktail garden in Vegas. The Housewives, it’s just, it’s emotionally too difficult to deal with.”

Garcelle Makes History

Bravo confirmed in August that the Jamie Foxx Show alum joined the cast for season 10. 

“As the first African American Housewife in the Beverly Hills franchise, I am honored and humbled by this awesome opportunity to exemplify the fact that Black Girl Magic lives and thrives in every zip code!” Garcelle’s statement read. “Already being intimately familiar with the spotlight of Hollywood, my journey of successes and trials has already been chronicled and shared with my many loyal supporters around the world. The continual encouragement, support and yes, even at times, criticism, have helped make me the dynamic woman I am today.”

“I am thrilled and honored to be joining The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. As a mother to three children who is also deeply committed to my efforts in philanthropy, my life is a balancing act. There is a lot going on in the best way possible and I strive to pursue all of my passions to the fullest,” Sutton said in a statement in August. “I am excited to share my true loves of art and fashion design, and open the doors to my world. I am looking forward to this ride and where this journey takes me. Fun times ahead for this Southern Belle in Southern California!”

Camille Rejoins

Camille, who appeared in a “friend” role for season 8 and 9, originally claimed that Kyle is the reason she won’t be back for season 10. 

“I wasn’t asked back. It’s fine,” Camille, who was a full-time cast member for the first two seasons, tweeted in August. “I did my time on the show. And it’s Kyles show.”

Less than three months later, however, Camille revealed via Twitter that she will return after all: “I’m getting back in the game. 😉😊 diamonds and drama. #rhobh."

Dorit and PK’s Legal Woes Continue

While Dorit tried to downplay the couple’s legal issues during the season 9 reunion, the swimsuit designer and the music manager’s finances continued to make headlines amid PK’s multi-million dollar lawsuit. According to documents filed in September, his overseas bank account may be seized in the suit.

“Despite living in a multi-million dollar mansion and being featured on a show highlighting his and his wife’s wealth and opulent lifestyle, Mr. Kemsley steadfastly refuses to pay his debts,” a lawyer for Nicos Kirzis, who alleged that PK owes him $1.2 million, said in the paperwork.

“I’m going to freak the f—k out,” Dorit fires back in another scene with Kyle.

Drama, Drama, Drama

“All the usual glitz, glam, drama,” Dorit told Us about season 10 at Gladys Knight’s 75th birthday party in October. “I don't think [the drama] increases. I think it's pretty much the same level of drama every year, which is as high as you can possibly go.”

Dorit added that “time will tell” if any of her friendships with newbies Sutton and Garcelle are the real deal: “It’s early, but I think that they're both individually very nice and I think that they bring a lot to the group and I'm looking forward to get to know them even better.”

Everyone vs. Camille

“What I’ve seen, there’s drama targeted at me. I show up and they kind of, you know, how do I say it the right way? I feel that I show up somewhere and I felt targeted,” Camille told Us in November 2019. “But there are things that need to be discussed, so maybe that was the right time to do so. There you go, there’s a carrot. I just dangled!”

The OGs

Adrienne Maloof, Brandi Glanville, Kim Richards and Eileen Davidson all filmed at Kyle’s charity event in November 2019.

“I held a fundraiser for children's hospital Los Angeles and my home. I was really excited and proud because we raised a lot of money that night. I had 15 past and present Housewives there, cast members. It was a really exciting night,” Kyle told Us exclusively at BravoCon in November 2019. “Of course not everybody did not get along. Of course there was drama and stuff. But I honestly was like, ‘I cannot deal with that right now. I'm too busy stressing about people bidding or not bidding!’”

Kyle and Brandi, who were not on good terms when the latter exited the show after season 5, surprisingly did get along.

“I never imagined that Brandi Glanville and I would be friendly, let alone speaking at all. It's pretty crazy,” Kyle told Us at the time. “It was actually really fun the other night to have her at the party and we were laughing and dancing.”

Missing Filming

Rinna, who was the one to call out Vanderpump when she missing filming during season 9, wasn't afraid to point out that Denise missed an event at Dorit's home in December. 

“Denise are you ok? You never showed up to Dorit’s Sat night we were all so worried about you. What happened?!” Rinna wrote on Denise’s December 17, 2019, Instagram post about a recent health scare. “You said you were coming, you were meeting Garcelle, We never heard from you. What happened ?”

Rinna vs. Richards

According to an insider, the two actresses will go head-to-head during season 10. 

“Behind the scenes, Lisa Rinna is continuing to be the instigator and continuously stir the pot for maximum drama. Rinna does this to make herself relevant and maintaining job security,” an insider told Us. “Denise has had enough of Rinna’s constant meddling and passive aggressive behavior, especially with social media. Denise and Rinna are headed toward a showdown on camera which is what Rinna has wanted.”

The Cease and Desist

Us Weekly's reports about Rinna and Dnise were confirmed when the season 10 trailer dropped.

"You sent a cease and desist," the Melrose Place alum says.

After Denise asks who gave her the information, Lisa exclaims, “Oh, you're so angry!”

Brandi Got ‘Denised’

Brandi wasted no time getting back in the mix while filming season 10. After teasing that she exposed one of the women for the “skeletons” in her closet, the Drinking and Tweeting author called out Denise on social media.

“I just got ‘Denised,’” Brandi quipped on December 29. “Seriously bitch???? You wanna play-“

She later added: “1-blackmail is illegal. 2-I have no skeletons in my closet (they’re all on the internet). 3-slut shaming is soooooo last year.”

Denise and Brandi’s Hookup Drama

Us confirmed in January that Denise and Brandi will argue after the Celebrity Big Brother alum told their costars that they had hooked up in the past. 

“Denise has only met Brandi one time prior and it was in a social setting. Denise has never been intimate with Brandi, ever,” one insider told Us, noting the actress “wants all of that footage taken out of the show.” The insider added that Denise and husband Aaron Phypers are “100 percent monogamous.” 

A second source, however, claimed to Us that the women “hooked up on more than one occasion.” 

“Denise was not married to Aaron when they first hooked up. Another time Brandi was under the impression that they had some openness to Denise and Aaron’s relationship and that Aaron was aware of what was going on,” the second insider claimed.

Biggest Pot-Stirrer

“My girl Lisa Rinna!” Erika quipped when asked who stirs the pot the most on season 10 during a February appearance on WWHL.

The “Pretty Mess” singer also revealed that Denise will have “the most to answer for at the reunion.”

Even Crazier Than You Think

While Teddi called Denise and Brandi’s hookup drama playing out in the press a “bummer,” she teased that fans will still be surprised. “It's a doozy,” she told Entertainment Tonight in February. "The audience is going to come in with a biased opinion, because what they've read in the press, which may or may not be accurate or what actually happened. And I mean, it may be a lot more. … I mean there's a lot. This season has been completely different than any other for me."
