A new housewife is arriving in Beverly Hills that fans are eager to see in action for the upcoming season.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is Bravo’s latest franchise to experience a cast shakeup. In May, the network announced Bozoma Saint John as the newest addition to the housewife multiverse. The departures of AnneMarie Wiley and Crystal Kung Minkoff from the reality series left room for another cast member to fill the open spots.
John will join Season 14, alongside her returning castmates Garcelle Beauvais, Kyle Richards, Dorit Kemsley, Erika Jayne and Sutton Stacke. Shortly after the news was announced, John took to Instagram to express her excitement about joining the RHOBH. Her comment section filled with congratulatory messages from her fellow cast mates and former housewives, including “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” alum Cynthia Bailey.
As fans patiently wait for the premiere date, here’s all you need to know about the newest addition to RHOBH.
