‘Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ to Return in November, Won’t Be ‘As Toxic’ as Last Season: ‘That Was Pretty Hardcore for Everybody,’ Says Garcelle Beauvais

Manori Ravindran Executive Editor of International “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Garcelle Beauvais has said the new season of the Bravo reality series will drop in November — and will be a kinder edition of the franchise. “I’m hearing November is our release date.

It’s back to fun and glamour and friendships,” said Beauvais of Season 13. “It’s not as toxic as it was. I think the last season was pretty hardcore on everybody.” Season 12 has been described by Variety’s resident “Real Housewives” correspondent Kate Aurthur as “grisly,” and ultimately led to the departure of long-time provocateur Lisa Rinna this past January.

Rinna constantly stirred the pot on the show, and feuded heavily with Kathy Hilton. She also got into her share of spats with Beauvais, who had been friendly with Rinna, a fellow actor, prior to starring together on “Real Housewives.” Beauvais, who was speaking at an A+E Networks-presented breakfast event at the Banff World Media Festival in Alberta, Canada, was quick to point out on stage that Rinna was no longer on the show.

Denise Richards will also return in a guest role, as revealed by Variety. Speaking to eTalk presenter Traci Melchor, the “Jamie Foxx Show” and “Black Girl Missing” star said that “Real Housewives” “changed my career” but that the “hardest part” was the constant trolling by viewers. “Especially last season, my kids were attacked on social media because of the show, and that’s always hard … When it affects my kids, that’s a problem,” said Beauvais.
