Denise Richards confirms her ‘RHOBH’ return

Reality TV

Back to “Bravo, Bravo, f–king Bravo” she goes!

Denise Richards confirmed that she’s returning to “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” as a “friend of” the cast.

“I have filmed some episodes,” the actress, 52, told Variety on Thursday, elaborating that she’s participated in “a lot of stuff” with her former co-stars.

Richards — who quit the reality series in 2020 after wrapping Season 10 — said her experience this time around has “been fun.”

“I’m a big fan of the show,” the “Wild Things” star added.

Fans went wild last month when Richards appeared to be at a filmed cast dinner alongside fellow alum Camille Grammer, who has not yet commented on her potential involvement in the show’s 14th season.

Returning “Housewife” Sutton Stracke recently told Page Six about the aforementioned “weed dinner,” describing the get-together as a “fun, interesting ride.”

She added that it’s “nice” to have former diamond-holders — including Kyle Richards’ sister Kim Richards — return to the Bravo program in any capacity.

It doesn’t seem coincidental that Denise’s comeback coincides with Lisa Rinna’s exit.

The former soap opera star announced her departure from “RHOBH” in January after eight consecutive seasons.

“This is the longest job I have held in my 35 year career,” she said at the time. “And I am grateful to everyone at Bravo and all those involved in the series.”

Rinna’s decades-long friendship with Denise — whom she introduced to the group — crumbled after the former perpetuated a rumor that the latter had secretly hooked up with Brandi Glanville.

Denise — who was married to husband Aaron Phypers at the time, and still is — has repeatedly denied that a sexual encounter with Glanville ever took place.
