Once upon a time in the glittering hills of Beverly Hills, a group of affluent women flung open the gilded gates to their glamorous lives, inviting cameras into a whirlwind world of glitz, gossip, and glittering diamonds. What followed was a cultural phenomenon: The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Since its 2010 debut, the Bravo series has delivered scandal, sisterhood, and spectacle—but for many of its former stars, the real drama began when the cameras stopped rolling.
From business empires to quiet retreats, public controversies to personal healing, the lives of RHOBH’s former queens have taken unexpected—and at times, jaw-dropping—turns. Here’s where the Housewives have landed after their final toast of rosé.
Lisa Vanderpump: The Queen Who Never Lost Her Crown
Once the grand dame of Beverly Hills glamour, Lisa Vanderpump exited the series in dramatic fashion after the infamous Season 9 “PuppyGate” scandal fractured her friendships and cast her in the villain’s role. Skipping the reunion and confirming her departure in June 2019, Lisa cited personal and professional exhaustion. But make no mistake—Lisa didn’t fade away. She built a TV empire with Vanderpump Rules, launched successful restaurants including TomTom and Vanderpump à Paris, and emerged as a fierce animal rights advocate through her Vanderpump Dog Foundation. In her words, RHOBH was just a chapter—her reign in reality TV continues.
Kim Richards: A Star in Recovery
A former child star and Kyle Richards’ older sister, Kim Richards brought raw vulnerability to RHOBH. Her battles with addiction and emotional struggles were laid bare across the show’s early seasons. After exiting as a full-time Housewife after Season 5, Kim has made occasional guest appearances but has largely focused on healing. She maintains a lower profile today, reportedly working on a memoir and investing time in family and sobriety. Once one of RHOBH’s most fragile figures, Kim now walks the path of quiet resilience.
Adrienne Maloof: Business Before Bravo
Adrienne Maloof, the cool and composed heiress of the Maloof empire (owners of the Palms Casino and former owners of the Sacramento Kings), brought business acumen and old-money elegance to the early seasons. But after a bitter fallout with cast members and personal legal drama, Adrienne exited after Season 3. She’s since reappeared in “friend” roles but primarily focuses on business ventures and parenting her sons. Her legacy continues in Vegas, even if she’s stepped away from Beverly Hills glam.
Brandi Glanville: Still Stirring the Pot
Brandi Glanville burst into RHOBH like a Molotov cocktail—unfiltered, unapologetic, and unafraid. Her rocky relationship with the cast and turbulent personal life fueled seasons of drama. After her full-time departure, she made appearances in shows like Celebrity Big Brother and Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip. Her podcast, Brandi Glanville Unfiltered, continues to be a raw, expletive-laden platform for her truth. Love her or loathe her, Brandi remains a provocative pop culture figure, still clawing for her diamond.
Yolanda Hadid: Healing with Honeybees
Elegant and ethereal, Yolanda Hadid brought grace—and grit—to RHOBH. Her journey was defined by her battle with Lyme disease, which she documented with heartbreaking honesty. After departing post-Season 6, she moved to a Pennsylvania farm to focus on wellness, nature, and family. The mother of supermodels Gigi, Bella, and Anwar Hadid, Yolanda now tends to bees more than drama. Her memoir, Believe Me, earned acclaim for shedding light on invisible illness. Far from the Beverly Hills spotlight, she has embraced a life of quiet strength.
Taylor Armstrong: From Darkness to Light
Taylor Armstrong’s storyline was perhaps the most emotionally wrenching of RHOBH history. Her harrowing marriage to Russell Armstrong ended in tragedy, catapulting her into the headlines. After Season 3, Taylor sought a fresh start, eventually finding happiness in Orange County. In a Bravo first, she joined The Real Housewives of Orange County, making history as the first franchise crossover. Now remarried and a passionate advocate against domestic abuse, Taylor has emerged as a symbol of survival and empowerment.
Camille Grammer: The Comeback Queen
Camille Grammer entered RHOBH in the shadow of her public divorce from actor Kelsey Grammer, but quickly became a fan favorite with her biting commentary and passive-aggressive flair. Though her primary role ended after Season 2, Camille has remained a familiar face—often reappearing to deliver memorable reunion showdowns. She remarried in 2018 and now divides her time between Malibu and Hawaii. Her social media remains ablaze with Bravo opinions—once a Housewife, always a Housewife.
Eileen Davidson: Class Act
A breath of fresh air in Seasons 5 through 7, Eileen Davidson was a grounded, poised contrast to RHOBH’s chaos. An accomplished soap actress, Eileen stepped back to refocus on her career, and it paid off—she’s since won multiple Daytime Emmys and continues her work on The Young and the Restless and Days of Our Lives. She’s also a published author. While she left the diamond behind, her sophisticated style is still sorely missed by fans.
Denise Richards: Scandal and Smirks
When actress Denise Richards joined RHOBH in Season 9, it was with tequila shots and self-deprecating charm. But behind the glamour, her tenure spiraled into controversy—specifically, Brandi Glanville’s claim of an affair, which Denise vehemently denied. She departed after Season 10 amidst the chaos but has since returned to acting, launched a successful OnlyFans account with her daughter Sami, and popped back for cameos in Season 13. Denise remains married to Aaron Phypers and unapologetically herself—mysterious and magnetic.
Diana Jenkins: Flash Then Fade
Diana Jenkins arrived in Season 12, exuding European wealth, private jets, and a no-nonsense attitude. However, backlash from viewers and a difficult pregnancy led to her abrupt exit after one season. Since then, she has focused on motherhood and philanthropic work through her Sanela Diana Jenkins Foundation. A mystery to many, Diana now lives largely outside the public eye.
Final Toast to the Diamonds
While not all former Housewives still grace our screens, their impact is undeniable. They’ve launched empires, survived scandals, inspired memoirs, and redefined resilience. Their stories prove that diamonds may not last forever—but the legacies forged in front of Bravo’s cameras endure long after the final toast.
From bee farms and podcast studios to Emmy stages and Vegas casinos, these women have rewritten their own scripts. And while they may not all be holding diamonds today, they’ve more than earned their place in the pantheon of reality television royalty.
