Denise Richards, known for her role in “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” has been making headlines recently due to her decision to not be a full-time cast member in the upcoming Season 15 of the show. According to insiders who spoke to Radar, Richards’ spin-off show, “Denise and Her Wild Things,” played a significant role in this decision.
One source revealed that after Richards’ spin-off show did not get renewed, Bravo decided to include her in a few episodes of “RHOBH” due to the unfolding events in her personal life. However, it was clarified by another insider that Richards was never intended to be a full-time cast member in the upcoming season.
Despite not being a full-time cast member this season, fans can expect to see Richards being very open about the “tumultuous situation” surrounding her divorce in the episodes she does appear in. The trailer for the upcoming season hints at the emotional journey Richards will be sharing with viewers.
While Richards may not be full-time this season, sources suggest that there is a possibility of her returning in that capacity in the future. At BravoCon, Richards expressed her openness to returning for the next season if the opportunity presents itself.
Reports from Radar have shed light on the circumstances leading to Richards’ decision to end her marriage to Aaron Phypers. It was revealed that a breaking point occurred when Phypers allegedly hit Richards while she was recovering from surgery. Despite giving him conditions for them to remain together, including attending anger management, Phypers did not comply, leading Richards to realize that their relationship was not salvageable.
Richards had planned to leave Phypers after recovering from a second surgery to avoid additional stress, but things took a different turn. An incident on the 4th of July weekend, where Phypers and his father threatened to share pictures of Richards online, prompted her to text his mother about filing for divorce and potentially getting a restraining order. Phypers then filed for divorce first, likely influenced by his family’s belief that he could qualify for spousal support.
The upcoming season of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” promises to delve into Richards’ personal struggles and the challenges she faced in her marriage. While she may not be a full-time cast member, Richards’ presence in the episodes will undoubtedly provide viewers with insight into her journey towards healing and moving forward.
