REAL Housewives of Beverly Hills’ season 15 cast has been revealed after one producer-favorite was given a ‘big incentive’ to ‘step it up’ this year, The U.S. Sun can reveal.
Reports have been circulating that some of the Bravo stars have gotten the axe and won’t return when filming begins after the series’ latest cast shakeup.
While not everyone will return to season 15 of RHOBH, The U.S. Sun can confirm that the majority of the cast will indeed be back.
According to a production insider, the ladies who are offered a spot to return next season have already been given their contracts.
“Kyle was the big question mark for the longest time but she is coming back. Producers offered her a big incentive to come back, so she is.
“She’s had long talks with production about what she is willing and not willing to show. She knows, basically, she has to step it up next season.
“She says she’s showing as much as she can without hurting those around her. But fans want to see more of her personal life, which includes her dating life,” a source claimed.
Last season, fans saw Kyle Richards explore her life as a newly single woman following her split from husband Mauricio Umansky.
There's been speculation Kyle, 56, was dating country singer Morgan Wade, 30, after the pair formed a close-knit bond in recent years.
However, Kyle has not yet publicly stated the two are, or have ever been, in a relationship - though she said she is "exploring" her sexuality.
The insider also revealed that fresh off of her explosive season 14 appearance, Dorit Kemsley will be back holding a diamond this year.
Sutton Stracke, Erika Jayne and Bozoma Saint John are also all said to be returning.
Reports have recently circulated that Erika had been "fired" however, the insider said that is "untrue."
The source added that “one to two new names” will be added to the cast after the abrupt departure of fan-favorite, Garcelle Beauvais.
Garcelle, 58, made a hasty exit from the franchise after she walked off set during part three of season 14’s RHOBH reunion.
The model and actress fumed to host Andy Cohen that she was “really mad” and “didn’t feel supported” by her friends during filming.
When the ladies got together to toast and take a group picture at the end of the reunion, Garcelle said she was “not f**king doing this” and walked off set.
Hours before the shocking episode aired, Garcelle, 58, formally announced her departure from the reality show.
“I’ve decided to leave Beverly Hills. It’s been a wild ride. I mean, some amazing things have happened, and some hard things have also happened, but it’s been a ride.
“My boys, it’s their last year of high school is next year, and I want to be a part of that. And Jaid is starting a new career [as a model].
“And I want to be a part of that too,” she told Bravo fans in an Instagram video.
She added that she is also focusing on producing projects of her own, which fans will know more about “soon.”
Addressing the Bravo viewers, she added: “To the fans, I want to say, thank you so much.
"You guys have cheered me on, supported me and sometimes even fought for me or on my behalf, it means a lot.
“I hope you guys will continue on this journey with me. It’s not goodbye, it’s See you later.”
