BravoThe B is back. And by B we mean Brandi Glanville, of course. E! News has confirmed the reality star has filmed scenes for the upcoming season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. However, she's not returning to the show as a full-time cast member.
"She's not returning as a cast member but she's making some small appearances here and there on the new season," a source tells E! News, "but that's it." Several former cast members have popped up here and there throughout the show, including Camille Grammer and Adrienne Maloof.
E! News learned the show was parting ways with Brandi in June. On her podcast and Instagram, Brandi said it was her decision not to return to the hit Bravo series.
"After a lot of careful thought and deliberation, I have decided not to return to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," she said. "I mean, they've been awesome. And Bravo will always be my family. Like Andy [Cohen] said, 'It's the mafia, you never really get to leave us'…They've been so great to me. And if I'm available and they need me, they know how to find me. We'll see. But I'm excited about what the future holds...It's just been a great four years, and I'm just really excited for what's next. And like I said, it's always gonna be my family. So I'll see ya when I see ya, peeps."
Brandi joined the show as a friend of the Housewives in season two before being promoted in season three. Her pal Kim Richards is also not returning to RHOBH as a full-time Housewife. RHOBH veteran Taylor Armstrong has also filmed scenes for the upcoming season that is set to include Lisa Rinna, Lisa Vanderpump, Kyle Richards, Yolanda Foster, Eileen Davidson and newbies Erika Jayne and Kathryn Edwards.
