Real Housewives Alum Kim Richards To Return To RHOBH?

Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills (RHOBH) season 13 spoilers have fans ready for the new season. But some mysteries remain. And one concerns RHOBH alum Kim Richards.

Will Kim finally make her comeback to Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills this season? Or will the former child star decide to steer clear of the RHOBH drama? Get all the details below.

Real Housewives Spoilers – Kyle Richards Teases RHOBH Sister Act!

Kim Richards and her sister Kyle Richards experienced dramatic ups and downs during the years when they co-starred on the Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills (RHOBH). And ever since Kim departed, her fans have longed for her to return. But thus far, RHOBH season 13 spoilers hint that the upcoming season features Garcelle Beauvais, Dorit Kemsley, Sutton Stracke, Crystal Minkoff, Erika Jayne, and Kyle solo rather than with Kim.

Because both Lisa Rinna and Diana Jenkins exited RHOBH after season 12, rumors have soared about adding new cast or bringing back Real Housewives alums. And Kyle just dropped a hint that Kim could appear on season 13. Kyle made that announcement during an Amazon Live, according to Heavy.

Together with her daughter Portia Umansky, Kyle dished on various styles and beauty products. And when fans asked questions, Kyle faced one about her sister. The fan questioned, “Will Kim make an appearance next season?” And Kyle hinted at the potential. “Possibly,” admitted the RHOBH star. And she added, “I really want her to and we just started” filming season 13.

RHOBH Spoilers – Real Housewives Got ‘Too Intense’ For Kim

For the first five seasons of the Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills, both Kyle and Kim Richards took on leading star roles. And Kim then stepped back, appearing less frequently during seasons 6, 9, and 10. However, Kim departed the show after 2020.

And when Kim took a break from season 8, Kyle shared the reason. “You know, she’s got a lot of stuff going on in her personal life. She, I think, didn’t want to do that,” admitted Kyle. “Maybe it’s a little too intense, so she’s happy doing what she’s doing right now.”

And Kim’s reluctance to return seems understandable. The reality show turned the spotlight on some very personal topics, particularly Kim’s battle with alcoholism. But she also got in ferocious fights with co-stars such as Lisa Rinna.

RHOBH Spoilers – Andy Cohen Calls Kim Richards

However, Kim shared that Bravo would like her to return. And Kim revealed that Real Housewives exec producer Andy Cohen called her personally to ask for her return. “Having Andy call me was big. I know it was big for him to make the call,” gushed Kim. As a result, she “didn’t want to say ‘no.'” Because it wasn’t ‘no,’ it just it wasn’t the time for me,” added Kim.

And the RHOBH alum revealed what she wants in order to return. “I came into this very respected in my business. And of course I made mistakes,” added Kim. “But I didn’t feel respected by the people that I was working with any longer. And then that wasn’t okay for me. I’ve worked hard to love and respect myself today,” noted the RHOBH alum. As a result, if she returns, Kim wants to “feel that respect again.”
