‘Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills’ Season 7 — Who Is In, Who Is Out, And Which Media Billionaire’s Ex Is Joining The Cast?

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is ready to add a few new faces to the mix in Season 7.

Us Magazine reports that Sydney Holland might be set for a part in RHOBH’s new season. Holland is the former girlfriend of Sumner Redstone, the billionaire Viacom owner and business mogul.

If Holland is added to the mix, then she will certainly have more than enough drama to bring to the table. After all, Holland’s connection to Redstone would be an interesting storyline, especially considering how they were together for some five years before splitting in 2015.

Not to mention that Redstone is currently 93-years-old.

Holland and Redstone ended their relationship after he reportedly caught her cheating with an actor.

Meanwhile, fans were introduced to Erika Girardi and Kathryn Edwards last season. The two newcomers joined the rest of the cast, which included the likes of Lisa Vanderpump, Kyle Richards, Lisa Rinna, Eileen Davidson, and Yolanda Foster.

Which of these stars will be returning in the new season?

According to Buddy TV, producers are hard at work finding a replacement for both Edwards and Richards.

“Producers are casting two more housewives,” a source explained to Radar Online. “They are getting rid of Kathryn Edwards [and] testing replacements.”

Apparently, the network is tired of the storyline between Richards and her sister, Kim.

“The whole situation with the sibling drama between Kyle and Kim is getting old,” the source continued. “That really is Kyle’s only storyline, so they may just invite Kim back.”

Of course, bringing Kim back into the fold is not as easy as it may seem. Not only is she still recovering from her addiction to alcohol, but being involved in the reality series was one factor that pushed her over the edge.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills producers have yet to reveal who they are bringing back and who is getting the boot. According to Bustle, producers have plenty of reasons to keep last season’s cast on board for another year.

At this point, it appears as though Vanderpump, Richards, Rinna, Davidson, and Girardi are potentially safe. However, it would not be surprising if producers decided to give Edwards the boot and downgrade Hadid to part-time.

After all, Edwards did not stir up a lot of drama last season. For her part, Hadid went through a shocking divorce last year and is still struggling with Lyme disease. It might be in her best interest to take a step back from the world of reality television.

That being said, Rinna has posted several messages on social media that hint of a future exit. Is she getting ready to quit the franchise?

“I have been Lisa Rinna for a long time. I didn’t start out a housewife and I won’t end as one,” Rinna wrote on Twitter.

Later, Rinna shared a quote on Twitter about moving on that had fans questioning her future on the show even more.

“I have a dream. I chase it. I fall. I learn. I get better. I keep marching on. And so it goes …” the quote read.

Apart from Rinna, Vanderpump has also hinted at a potential exit. In fact, Vanderpump recently stated that she still hasn’t decided to return for another year of RHOBH.

“With Housewives, yeah, they’ve [asked me to come back], but nothing’s been decided,” she stated. “I think it’s gonna depend on a lot of things if I go back or not.”

As far as Girardi is concerned, the Inquisitr has previously reported that there is a good chance she’ll be back in action. Not only has she enjoyed the spotlight but the series has helped boost her music career.

“I will say this, what a great opportunity to have been on the show,” Girardi said. “And the doors it’s opened for me, and I have nothing but great things to say about the show.”

The new season of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is expected to premiere sometime this fall on Bravo.
