‘RHOBH’ Season 12 premieres next month, bringing a new Housewife and plenty of drama.
TV & Movies The show returns next month with a new Housewife and plenty of drama. Following The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ drama-packed eleventh season, Bravo reportedly wasted no time jumping back into production to continue chronicling Erika Jayne’s ongoing legal battle and divorce from Tom Girardi. Part 1 of the unprecedented four-part reunion — during which host Andy Cohen grilled Erika over Tom’s alleged crimes and whether she played a role in them — scored a season-high viewership with more than 1.5 million people tuning in, making Season 12 a foregone conclusion (Erika has denied any involvement in the fraud and embezzlement claims brought against Tom). Bravo has since released several details about the upcoming season — including the introduction of a new Housewife and “friend of.” Here’s what to know. RHOBH Season 12 will premiere on Wednesday, May 11 at 8 p.m. ET. Though Erika’s lawyers advised her not to film for RHOBH Season 11, she explained during the reunion that she stayed on the show because she has “nothing to hide.” She added that she’s “not a quitter” and “wanted to honor” her commitment to the series. “I wasn’t going to run away from what’s coming at me,” she said. Bravo has confirmed that Erika will be back again for Season 12, with cameras continuing to document her case as it unfolds in real-time. However, a press release teases that Erika will be focused on finding a fresh start for herself — and when the other women grow concerned that she’s “gone too far in her quest to move forward, tensions boil over.
