The latest episode of 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' finally delivered to us what we have all been dying to see this season — the tea on Brandi Glanville and Denise Richards' alleged affair. After all the social media drama that the housewives engaged in, fans were eagerly waiting to see how everything pans out and get all the details on what exactly transpired between Brandi and Denise. 

When the much-awaited scene finally aired, to say that fans were disappointed and underwhelmed would be a gross understatement. Here's how it all went down. Teddi Mellencamp and Kyle Richards were at Kyle's place, planning for Teddi's baby shower. As the two ladies were busy trying to figure out how they wanted the party, Kyle's older sister and former housewife Kim Richards makes a pit stop at Kyle's house to "drop off some clothes". 

After handing over the clothes, Kim casually mentions that Brandi was waiting outside in the car. Kyle asks Brandi to come home, and all the ladies sit together and begin their gossip sessions. Since things between Denise and the other housewives, especially with Kyle and Teddi, are at an all-time low, the topic of Denise pops up. On hearing Denise's name, Brandi immediately becomes alert and warns Kyle and Teddi to be wary around her as Denise isn't what she appears to be. She then proceeds to dramatically reveal the sordid details of her affair with Denise, and how she feels awful about it because she's the "other woman" in Denise's marriage.



 

After watching the scene between the ladies unfold, fans declared the whole thing as "staged". Fans felt that the entire Brandi spilling the beans on Denise scene looked very superficial and staged, and took to Twitter to express their displeasure. A fan tweeted, "Jfc could this be ANY MORE STAGED ???? Oh Kim just happens to stop by. Oh double surprise Brandi happens to be in the car. Oh triple surprise let’s force the name Denise into convo to awkwardly try and bring up whatever tf Brandi is trying to say ??? #RHOBH."

Another fan wrote, "So convenient Brandi happens to be in the car when Kim drops off a dress at Kyle’s house and is invited in and says her & @DENISE_RICHARDS are having an affair. What a coincidence! #RHOBH #RHOBHMeanGirls So staged." "Oh Brandi is waiting in the car.... Talk about a setup. @KyleRichards #rhobh and they crucified @LisaVanderpump for creating storylines.... okay. #staged," pointed out a fan. Another fan shared, "COME ON! Could it have been more staged for Brandi to conveniently be with Kim and drop that bomb on Kyle and Teddie? Not to mention, they have the worst shocked faces EVER #RHOBH."

"This is the worst staged episode ever!! Bye Brandi #RHOBH," declared a fan. "My fave part of this Brandi/Denise controversy is Kyle’s attempt to act like Brandi’s whole confession wasn’t staged. Ugh. I just hate how she tries to claim moral superiority when she’s petty AF. Remember when she hated Brandi? #RHOBHMeanGirls #rhobh," expressed an unhappy fan. 

'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Season 10 airs every Wednesday at 9/8c on Bravo.
