Bye Bye, Brandi Glanville! Problem Housewife Axed From "Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills"
In news that should shock absolutely no one, Brandi Glanville has reportedly been fired from the upcoming season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
Sources within Bravo confirmed the news to Giuliana Rancic at E!, who learned it was Bravo's decision not to bring Brandi back because her inappropriate behavior and intense beef with the entire cast became too much to handle.
According to E!, "Brandi is upset, but she understands and is grateful for the opportunity."
Glanville joined the cast as a 'friend of the Housewives' in season two and remained as a full-time cast member through season 5, the most recent. She's been a magnet for dangerous drama since her first episode — remember when she yelled, "At least I don't do crystal meth in the bathroom all night long, bitch"? — and continued her reign as head drama queen throughout her time on the show.
During season 5, Glanville ostracized herself from the group and closely aligned with her cast mate Kim Richards, who will also not be returning to the show next season. The two remained close throughout the season amid Kim's relapse and public battle with alcoholism.
"Kim is fine with not returning. She knows she needs to focus on her health right now," the source told E!. She'll reportedly appear on the next season as a friend of the Housewives.
No word yet on whether Brandi will be replaced, but you can certainly count Kathy Hilton out of the mix. The Hilton hotel magnate and mother of Paris was rumored to be joining the cast last month, but denied it on social media:
I am a real housewife of Los Angeles. Not Beverly Hills.

If you ask us, the show could really benefit from brining back a few old faces for an update.
