Kathy Hilton, 63, gave an ultimatum to Bravo and said she would not return to RHOBH unless Lisa Rinna, 59, and Erika Jayne, 51, were removed from the cast.

In October, Hilton told TMZ that the two were ‘bullies’ who would ‘throw anybody under the bus.’

The Hilton matriarch explained: ‘I had said I would only be willing to come back if the cast [changed].

‘I think that we had a tough season and it got really, really dark,’ the mother-of-three admits. ‘And so maybe it needed to have a minute so that the sun can come in’

‘If it was completely the same, absolutely not,’ the reality star added. ‘Because I feel they are two bullies that intimidate a lot of the other girls.’

At the RHOBH season 12 reunion, more drama consequently ensued and led to a blowout fight between the housewives.

While Bravo is working out these issues with the cast, Andy Cohen shared the schedules and plans of other branches within the franchise.
