The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills recently wrapped Season 15, and many wondered if the show would return. It was not listed at the NBCUpfronts, so fans were concerned that it had been axed. As of now, it appears that RHOBH will be back for Season 16. At the same time, the rumor mill is churning as to who is on the chopping block and who is set to get a contract.
Executive producer Alex Baskin is breaking his silence over the casting rumors, but what does he have to say? Keep reading for more details.
RHOBH Set To Return, But Who’s Out?
Although it appeared that RHOBH may be put on an indefinite pause, Beverly Hills OG Kyle Richards debunked that claim. She made it clear that this was untrue, but did not share whether or not she would be back. There have also been rumors that some of the cast would be axed, such as Dorit Kemsley. Finally, newcomer Amanda Frances stated that she was done after one season. Yet, she believed that she would be getting an offer for Season 16.
Amid all of the speculation, executive producer Alex Baskin is breaking his silence regarding the cast. Allegedly, this is who would be coming back: Kyle Richards, Erika Jayne, Bozoma Saint John, Sutton Stracke, and Rachel Zoe. Jennifer Tilly would stick around and show alum, Crystal Kung Minkoff would return in some capacity. However, like Dorinda Medley of RHONY, Dorit was put “on pause” for the time being. Per Baskin, this is all false. He took to his social media page to debunk a “blind item” that had been put out.
Someone allegedly spoke directly to Crystal, who disputed the claim that she was returning. She made it clear that it was just a “rumor,” after being on RHOBH for three seasons. Crystal then exited, but fans have stated that they would not mind her coming back. A filming schedule has been set, but it is unclear who will be there when the cameras go up.
Fire Dorit
After Season 15, the general consensus from RHOBH fans was that it was time for Dorit Kemsley to be fired. She has done enough and rubbed too many people the wrong way:
- Please put Dorit on a permanent pause. Force her to find other employment.
- Get rid of Dorit. Long overdue.
Others wanted to see Dorit continue to battle it out with Kyle Richards. Moreover, they felt that if she were fired, it would prove that Kyle has pull with the cast. Bozoma Saint John was another person that RHOBH fans would be happy to see gone.
