Denise Richards quits 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills', fans threaten to stop watching the show

When fans learned that Denise was leaving the show, they were unhappy and began wondering who the housewives will pick on in the next season

When Denise Richards joined the cast of 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' during Season 9, fans were beyond thrilled. Denise quickly became an instant fan-favorite, due to her intriguing lifestyle and her refreshingly casual attitude which was so different from the remaining housewives. Fans couldn't get enough of Denise and her beautiful family shown on 'RHOBH'. But things took a wild turn during Denise's second season on the popular reality show.

While her first season was a breeze and she managed to keep herself away from a lot of the housewives drama, unfortunately, during Season 10, she found herself at the center of all the drama. From being accused of making the other housewives feel like "bad mothers" to her alleged affair with Brandi Glanville, Denise had a lot on her plate. Things got rather frustrating for the 'Wild Things' actress when she realized that aside from her dear friend Garcelle Beauvais and fellow housewife Dorit Kemsley, nobody else was on her side. 

Garcelle and Dorit made it very clear that they believed Denise when it came to Brandi's claims about her and Denise having a month-long affair. Denise was also taken aback by how her friend of two decades, Lisa Rinna, didn't have her back. In fact, things got way out of hand and ugly during the reunion of Season 10 between the two ladies. Considering all the drama surrounding Denise, it came as no surprise when The Daily Dish confirmed that Denise wouldn't be returning for Season 11 of 'RHOBH'. 

During Season 10, Denise sent a cease and desist notice to the show's production team, the network (Bravo), and even some of her fellow housewives, when she realized that footage of Brandi's affair rumors would be airing on the show. She even tried using the infamous "Bravo, Bravo, f***ing Bravo" line to get the scene cut, but the network decided to air the clip anyway. Afterward, Denise could be heard saying that if the showrunners wanted her to continue appearing on the show, then they shouldn't be airing Brandi's affair claims.

When fans learned that Denise was leaving the show, they were unhappy and began wondering who the housewives will pick on in the next season. A fan tweeted, "Awe  I really liked her on the show and didn’t think she deserved the brunt of this seasons talking points.  But I wish her well in her endeavors and life!"

Another fan wrote, "What a bummer. Please give Denise her own show!"

"She was the best thing that ever happened to this show and Erika can't carry the show on her own, and no one worthy will want to join after watching this "gang bang" attack they did to LVP and now Denise. Someone needs to call it "time of death" Uh?! Now!" expressed a fan.

"Won’t be watching any more. So disappointing. Can’t stand the cast and Andy. They are beyond bad. Denise and Garcelle are the only ones worth watching. Fake, mean, and shallow are these jealous fame mongers," echoed another fan.

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