Overview
- Leah Remini publicly confirmed she is joining RHOBH on Wednesday by resharing news coverage on Instagram and Bravo has been reported to have signed her for Season 16.
- Several major outlets describe Remini as a full-time cast member, but some reports note uncertainty about her exact role and say her deal was finalized at the last minute.
- Tracy Tutor, the former Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles star, announced her own casting on August 19 and will join Remini in the new lineup.
- Production is already under way: much of the cast filmed abroad for Bozoma Saint John’s wedding in Ghana and Remini is set to begin filming in Los Angeles imminently.
- Remini brings Emmy-winning documentary and sitcom credentials and a high public profile from her anti-Scientology work, a combination that producers hope will reshape season narratives and viewer interest.
