RHOBH Star Reveals Why She Stayed Out of the Season 15 Drama

Kathy Hilton shared details about “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” days after the explosive Season 15 trailer was released by Bravo.

In a November 2025 interview with Variety, Hilton said she managed to avoid getting caught in the drama during filming for the “brutal” upcoming season of the Bravo reality show.

“There’s no Kathy Hilton drama,” she said. “I’m not really dramatic. All that drama makes me really sad. They’re all just very comfortable in saying whatever they want, and that’s what makes it brutal.”

Hilton will appear as a “friend” in the new RHOBH season alongside main stars Kyle Richards, Dorit Kemsley, Erika Jayne, Sutton Stracke, Bozoma Saint John. Jennifer Tilly and newcomers Rachel Zoe and Amanda Frances.

The RHOBH trailer showed several cast members arguing. In one scene, Hilton’s sister, Kyle Richards, angrily tells someone, “You’re lying and you know what doesn’t lie? The cameras!”

Speaking with Variety, Hilton shared, “I had a couple of phone calls today from some of the girls [after they saw the trailer], let’s just put it that way. Some of them were like, ‘I can’t believe so-and-so did this.’”

While she didn’t share exactly what happened, Hilton hinted at an especially dramatic finale episode. “It was bru-tal!” she said.

As a “friend” in the series, it’s easier for Hilton to avoid the Housewives drama. Following her first season on RHOBH, she told Town and Country that she tried to help when there was cast drama. “I try to be somewhat of a peacemaker,” she said in the 2021 interview. “I’m very good at helping people. I think maybe I was a therapist or a psychiatrist in my past life. They trust me, they talk to me. And I like to help them with any advice I can give.  …And I’m pretty good at it.”

Ahead of Season 15, Hilton told Extra she chose to stay away this time around. “There was a lot of drama. You know, I try not to get involved in the drama,” she said. “I think everybody was really real this year and just, not that they’re not always, but really comfortable with themselves and, I think, really comfortable with the new girls. So it turned out, it was like they weren’t new girls. Like we’d always been either getting along or not getting along.”
