Brandi Glanville revealed she has not be asked to “come back” to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills after she claimed she had an affair with co-star Denise Richards.

Once a Friend of the Housewives and then a main cast member on the Bravo reality series, Brandi had been recurring as a Guest of the Housewives for the past few seasons.

Brandi teamed up with co-star Kim Richards for a new live improv show called Blonde & Blonder, which got fans wondering whether or not that would become her sole career focus.

One Instagram follower asked the 47-year-old about her future with RHOBH, before also demanding: “[You] better have negotiated a comeback after all you gave them for S10!!”

As a longtime member of the Real Housewives franchise, Brandi revealed she “hasn’t heard from them” but that she also has no plans to be the one to “reach out.”

"Nah, I'm not going to do that - that's not who I am.

"Of course when I got the news I was sad. It feels like a breakup, almost.

"Because you develop such strong relationships with the cast, with the crew. And you get to do incredible things that you probably never get to experience without the show."

Richards, the Starship Troopers actress, left the show after two seasons.
