Kyle Richards and Erika Jayne are sharing what it’s like filming with The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 15 newcomer Rachel Zoe.
Erika, 54, noted on the Tuesday, July 22, episode of her iHeartRadio “Diamonds in the Rough” podcast, which she cohosts with RHOBH alum Teddi Mellencamp, that Rachel, 53, recently stopped by her place.
“Rachel Zoe, who just came over the other day. Who, by the way, I really like,” Erika shared with guest cohost Matt Laughery. “I can’t say much, but I can say I like Rachel. She’s good TV, and she’s a cool person.”
Meanwhile, during a recent Amazon Live shopping stream, Kyle, 56, was asked how she thought “the two new ladies are mixing with the group.”

“Well, it’s getting interesting, guys, I’ll tell you,” Kyle teased on her Friday, July 18, livestream, though she didn’t name Rachel or the other rumored newcomer. (While Bravo revealed Rachel’s casting exclusively to Us Weekly in June, the network has yet to confirm the addition of another cast member or whether they’ll be an official Housewife or “friend.”)
“Had a little clash. A little clashing going on, which is to be suspected,” Kyle continued. “But, yeah, not everybody gets along. There’s some very strong personalities in this group and some people rub people the wrong way. Sometimes it’s upsetting and sometimes it’s kind of entertaining. It’s like, ‘Oh, my God.’”
Kyle also hinted at drama on a recent cast trip to Arizona, describing it as “exhausting,” “stressful” and “eye-opening.”
Bravo confirmed that Rachel will join RHOBH as a full-time Housewife back in June. “I am beyond excited to be returning home to Bravo to join the cast of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills!” she exclusively told Us in a statement. “I’ve been living my best, new life and it felt like the perfect time to come back to TV and share it all with you. Here we go … RZ 2.0!”
Bravo’s ‘The Rachel Zoe Project’ Cast: Where Are They Now?
The celebrity stylist’s addition to the Housewives cast marks her return to Bravo after starring on her own reality show, The Rachel Zoe Project, from 2008 to 2013.
It seems Rachel will have an eventful debut season on RHOBH as Us confirmed on Tuesday, July 22, that she filed for divorce from her estranged husband, Rodger Berman, one day prior, amid filming for the latest season.
Rachel listed their date of separation as June 27, 2024, and cited irreconcilable differences. She and Berman share two sons: Skyler, 14, and Kaius, 11.
As well as Rachel, Erika and Kyle, Sutton Stracke, Dorit Kemsley and Bozoma Saint John are expected to return for RHOBH season 15. Garcelle Beauvais announced her departure from the franchise in March.
