The actress confirmed reports that she’s joining the upcoming 16th season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. “It’s true,” she captioned an Instagram photo from a previous appearance on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live.
No word yet on whether Remini will be a full-time cast member or a “friend of,” although she doesn’t seem to be connected to anyone on the cast, which includes Kyle Richards, Sutton Stracke, Dorit Kemsley, and Rachel Zoe. At the very least, she does follow Richards and Kemsley on Instagram.
In addition to Remini, former Million Dollar Listing Los Angelesstar Tracy Tutor has also joined the reality series. Season 15 newbie Amanda Frances, an influencer, previously announced her departure in early August.
RHOBH began filming earlier this summer, recently taking a cast trip to Ghana for the wedding of Bozoma Saint John. Tutor and Remini were not in attendance, according to photos, nor was longtime star of the show, Erika Girardi.
Remini, who divorced husband Angelo Pagán in 2024 after 21 years of marriage, is the latest actress to pivot to reality TV on RHOBH.
Academy Award nominee Jennifer Tilly joined the cast as a “friend of” for season 14, which concluded with the departure of NYPD Bluealum Garcelle Beauvais. Bond girl Denise Richards has popped up over the years, both as a guest star and main cast member.
Days of Our Lives soap stars have also made their mark on the reality series: Lisa Rinna and Eileen Davidson both joined in season 5, with the former remaining on the show until 2022.

During a 2015 appearance, she dished on her decades with Scientology, including interactions with members like Tom Cruise and John Travolta.
