The “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star confirmed that she is “back filming” and will appear on Season 14 of the Bravo show.

“I don’t even know if I’m allowed to say that,” the Bravolebrity, 55, said in an Amazon Live Tuesday. “But oh, well. What are they gonna do to me?”

She called the decision to return “much harder” than previous years amid her and estranged husband Mauricio Umansky’s split.

“I was torn just because it’s been a long time since I’ve been on the show, and last year was hard,” the actress explained. “I really wanted to get back to having some fun on the show, and I just needed some more time since the reunion.”

Richards went on to share Umansky’s expected role on the show, one day after confirming he moved out of their shared Los Angeles home and into a West Hollywood condo.

“I’m sure he will [appear this season] because, you know, he is obviously family,” she said of the 53-year-old real estate broker, with whom she raised four daughters.

The reality star also broke her silence on her co-star Dorit Kemsley’s recent separation from husband Paul “PK” Kemsley after nine years of marriage.

“I feel bad for them,” she said. “Going through that is difficult enough without everybody wanting to know all the details.”

Their joint statement continued, “We appreciate your love and support while we continue to do the work necessary throughout this journey.”
