"The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" fans are curious to know who's going to replace Lisa Vanderpump. Immediately after Lisa announced that she would leave the show, there were rumors about a possible replacement. Fans of "RHOBH" got excited on social media after a photo of Kathy Hilton was shared by one of show host Andy Cohen's friends, Bruce Bozzi of The Palms. Cheat Sheet noted it showed Kathy and Cohen at dinner. It implied that Kathy, the sister of Kyle and Kim Richards could join the cast of the program.
In the post on Instagram, fans speculated that the network had signed a contract with Kathy Hilton to join "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills." However, the rumors were silenced by Cohen and Kathy Hilton.
So, who will replace the iconic Lisa Vanderpump?
On 'RHOBH,' Kathy Hilton hasn't signed a contract
Fans hoping to see Kathy feature on the Bravo show will be disappointed. The woman declared that she has not signed any contract to be part of the program. This means that all the possibilities regarding any cast replacement's still open.
Kyle might like the idea of her half-sister Kathy joining the show, but it's not likely. Kathy's already put her acting successful career behind her and in 2012, The San Fransisco Chronical noted that she “refuses to watch her half-sisters Kim and Kyle Richards on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, stating they caused her to "break down in tears" over watching their lives "fall apart".
According to Cheatsheet rumors, it's not excluded that an already known face might return and the suggestion of a crossover is gaining ground. Appearing on “Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen,” Kyle Richards and superfan Poppy Montgomery threw around some ideas on who migh join the show.
Kyle said, “I would have to pick Bethenny Frankel or NeNe Leakes.” Meanwhile, Poppy suggested an old throwback, Jeana Keough from the early seasons of “Real Housewives of Orange County.”
Why fans would want Kathy Hilton on 'RHOBH'
Fans think that Kathy Hilton could fit into a role on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills." Maybe it's because she knows how to catalyze attention and has a strong personality, two qualities essential to be able to participate in "RHOBH." Hilton, meanwhile, published a funny video of her attempting to cut someone's hair, jokingly making out she was cut out for that as a career.
She captioned it with, “Rumors of me joining the Beverly Hills Housewives would interfere with my real job of cutting hair.”
No-one can replace Lisa Vanderpump says Kyle
Answering questions from fans on “WWHL,” Kyle pointed out that no-one can actually replace Lisa Vanderpump. After all, Lisa's been a part of the show for nine seasons and that's hard shoes to fill. Mind you, Kyle and Lisa fell out very badly over the 'Puppy Gate scandal,' and they are no longer friends. After all the drama, and the hullabaloo by most of the cast, almost anyone other than Lisa will be welcomed to the “Real Housewives of Beverley Hills.”
