Kathy Hilton confirms she will NOT appear on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ upcoming season

Kathy Hilton will not appear in the upcoming 13th season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

The news about the 64-year-old reality television personality was confirmed by People on Monday, when a source revealed that she was never present during the production of the show’s new run of episodes.

The media figure, who recently reunited with her estranged half-sister, was said to have been primarily focused on the second season of her daughter Paris’ program, Paris In Love.

Hilton also spoke to E! News and expressed that, although she would not appear in The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ new season, she was certain that the program would be as entertaining as ever.

‘I know it’s going to be great. It’s always interesting and fun and lots of drama,’ she stated.

The socialite made her debut as a guest on the hit Bravo program during its first season, which aired in 2011.

She went on to appear in the same capacity for a total of five further non-consecutive runs of episodes.

Hilton was eventually named as one of the friends of the housewives for the series’ eleventh season and filled the same role for its twelfth.

The media figure quickly became a favorite with the show’s fans and was often asked if she would consider becoming a full-time cast member, although she shot down any prospects of joining the series as a housewife.

The designer previously began a much-publicized feud with longtime cast member Lisa Rinna, who departed the Real Housewives franchise this past January.

The 59-year-old reality television personality accused Hilton of speaking poorly of several of the show’s members, which led to a rift opening between the latter and her sister, Kyle Richards.

However, the relatives went on to reconnect during a bridal shower that was held for their niece, Whitney Davis, that took place last month.

The media figure expressed that the meeting ‘went well’ and that she would ‘like to’ patch things up with her younger half-sister in the future.

Richards, 54, recently spoke to E! News and remarked that her relationship with Hilton was ‘obviously not great.’

However, the Halloween actress stated that ‘we’re family, we’re blood. We’ll always come back together.’

The performer also added that she wanted to ‘be back to normal again’ with her sibling in the future.

The premiere date for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ upcoming thirteenth season has not been revealed as of yet.
