It looks like Denise Richards’ season 10 tagline – “My life may not be a fairy tale, but I’ll always get a happy ending” – may be true after all. Following a dramatic exit from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in 2020, the 51-year-old star could be ready to make her return to the show – even if Lisa Rinna stays. 

“Yeah, I’ve always said that. Never say never, you know,” Richards cheekily said to Jeff Lewis on his recent SiriusXM show.

Despite being open to holding her diamond once again, Richards said that no one from Bravo has reached out since she made her shocking exit.

“So I don’t know where the rumours come from,” Richards said.

In the interview, Richards also revealed that she was still friends with “some of” the cast, and has “definitely talked about” returning with her friend and current cast member, Garcelle Beauvais.

Would Denise Richards return to RHOBH with Lisa Rinna still on the show?

Long story short – yes! Richards has denied the rumours that she wouldn’t return unless Lisa Rinna left the show.

“That is not true,” Richards said in the interview. “I would be fine with working with Lisa and filming with her. I never said I wouldn’t come back with her.”

Richards and Rinna had a pretty explosive argument on the show after Brandi Glanville claimed that she had hooked up with Richards.

While the pair haven’t spoken since the season aired in 2020, Richards says that they’ve communicated over text.

“She reached out to me, she sent me a text apologizing,” the Wild Things star added. “There was a rumour that I never responded but I did respond – I responded right away.”

The fiery drama between the two RHOBH stars may have fizzled, but there still seems to be some hard feelings at play.

“I will say this: Lisa Rinna, she plays dirty, she can be really nasty, and so I think that’s just something to know about with her being on the show,” Richards said.

“I don’t think I would ever; I could never be close friends with her after what happened,” she continued. “And I’ve watched a few of the last episodes and seeing how she’s been, how she’s been on social media, I just don’t agree with it. It’s hard to be friends with someone like that.”

Richards’ interview arrives in the wake of rumours from fans who claim that Lisa Rinna is making an exit from RHOBH.

In the meantime, you can still tune in to RHOBH season 12 on Wednesdays at 9 e/p on Slice, or catch up on STACKTV or the Global TV app.
