Why The 'Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills' Cast Ganged Up And Shunned Denise Richards

Season 10 of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" is just getting started and the drama is already brewing.

Fans of the Bravo show are likely aware of the affair rumors surrounding Denise Richards and Brandi Glanville and that this situation is a storyline for the season, however, they may be surprised to find out that's not why the rest of the cast members -- Lisa Rinna, Kyle Richards, Teddi Mellencamp, Erika Jayne, Dorit Kemsley, and newcomer Garcelle Beauvais -- reportedly have an issue with her.

"The real reason [is] they’re upset over the things Denise Richards said behind their backs about them as individuals to Brandi and that’s why they’re actually not speaking," an insider dished to HollywoodLife. "They feel Denise didn’t own what she said.

The insider added, "The 'RHOBH' ladies don’t really care all that much about the Denise and Brandi affair and if it happened or not."

According to a different source, though, the 49-year-old actress and former model believes that she has owned up to the things she has done.

"Denise feels she owns everything she has said about the ladies," the source revealed. "But, she is also aware of some of the things they have said about her and assumes there’s also a lot she doesn’t know."

It's not just Denise that the "RHOBH" ladies seem to be taking up an issue with. It's also her husband, Aaron Phypers.

"Another big reason for the demise of so many friendships is the way that Aaron inserted himself into the fighting between the ladies and the drama," the first insider spilled.

"Denise brought Aaron several times to things but that’s because he was supposed to be there along with the other husbands," the insider explained. "The ladies didn’t like the way he reacted when they all fought, but he really was just protecting Denise. The ladies just felt he took it a little too far, but things were just heated all the way around."

If things are as they seem and the whole cast went against Denise, it's easy to see why she reportedly quit the "Housewives" series while it was still in production for Season 10. It would also seemingly prove that Kyle's reported plans to take Denise down may have been successful, though Kyle has fully denied the allegations.

Although filming took place over the last few months of 2019, "RHOBH" Season 10 has only just started airing so fans will have to keep watching to see how things unfold and come to a conclusion themselves.

"The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. EDT on Bravo.
