Fan-favorite RHOBH star Kathy Hilton has officially announced that she won’t be returning in season 13 of the show. Kathy, who joined the series in 2021 as a “friend of” character, is busy shooting season 2 of her daughter’s reality show Paris in Love. She told E! News that while she is not a part of the cast, the show is going to be “interesting and fun.”Kathy is Kyle and Kim Richards’ sister. Kim left the series in 2015 and Kathy herself got into a huge argument with Lisa Rinna, who also announced her departure earlier this year. Lisa had accused Kathy of having a meltdown in Aspen off-cameras. She was also slammed for making horrible comments about the ladies and using the F-work. View this post on Instagram Instagram PostRinna was shocked by her behavior and quickly locked herself in the bedroom to get away from Kathy. Later, Hilton also blamed Erika and Lisa for leaking some information about the meltdown to the press, which proved untrue. Kathy had said at the time that she will only return if Erika and Lisa were removed from the cast.Now that Lisa is out of the series, Kathy herself refused to come in front of the cameras. RHOBH fans felt that Hilton's only mission was to remove Rinna from the cast, who had troubled her sisters a lot, and since her goal was accomplished, she would not come back to the show in the future.GypsyLEE@shygrl813@suttonsroller Kathy's sole mission was to come in and remove Rinna. She didn't like how Rinna was moving around and she didn't like how Rinna treated her sisters and she did what any protective big sister would've done! She came, she saw, she conquered and she's out!
