Denise Richards Opens Up About Her “Really Hard” Experience on RHOBH (VIDEO)

As Bravo fans will recall, Denise Richards appeared as a cast member on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills during Seasons 9 and 10 (as well as later making several cameos following her time on the cast). And, now she’s sharing new insight into her RHOBH era.

The Denise Richards and Her Wild Things cast member appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on March 4, where she addressed her two seasons, plus multiple guest appearances, and why things got “really hard” over time. She also shared that she has some “unfinished business” from her RHOBH days, which she was able to address on Denise Richards and Her Wild Things with Erika Jayne. 

“I felt like I did with Erika,” she told Andy on WWHL. “And I’m so glad she came on our show.”

She also noted that her friendship struggles with RHOBH alum, Lisa Rinna, was “really hard” to face during their time on RHOBH. But, she has no regrets: “I felt like I was open and honest,” she said.

Denise Richards reflects on memorable RHOBH moments

The mom of three revealed that she doesn’t regret wearing her pink fur jacket upside down during her guest appearance on RHOBH Season 13, Episode 7, when she attended a weed themed dinner party hosted by Kyle Richards. Denise also got into a very intense back and forth conversation with Erika during the dinner party, which she feels OK about today. “No, I had a good time,” Denise said of the dinner on WWHL

And when it comes to her falling out with Lisa, Denise had little to no regrets about that. Viewers may recall that Denise was accused of sending cease and desist letters during RHOBH Season 10. But on WWHL, Denise said she never sent Lisa a cease and desist. She also revealed that she was “saddened” by how she left things with Lisa on the RHOBH Season 10 reunion.

Denise Richards reveals who she still keeps in touch with from RHOBH

During her appearance on WWHL, Denise revealed that she is still friends with Sutton Stracke (who was on WWHL with her that night) and Crystal Kung Minkoff, who she met “after the show.” “I met a lot of great friends from that show,” she revealed, explaining that she still hangs out with a lot of them. 

And when it comes to friends from other Real Housewives franchises, Denise admitted that she is close with The Real Housewives of Atlanta’s Cynthia Bailey. “I love her so much,” she noted. “And [The Real Housewives of Dubai‘s] Caroline Stanbury, too. I can’t forget.”
