Kyle Richards Has a Controversial Suggestion for a New Beverly Hills Housewife & Fans Are Revolting

The Real Housewives franchise is always a revolving door of faces each year — some people are there for one season while others are the OGs. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills might be recruiting a new face because Kyle Richards shared a rather controversial choice. But we aren’t going to lie — it would make for great TV!

“I have a new one, I think,” the 55-year-old Bravo personality revealed on SiriusXM’s Let’s Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa. “She lives in New York, but maybe she would move.” That’s when Richards dropped a bombshell name: Hilaria Baldwin. Ripa and her co-host Jan Schillay thought it was a brilliant idea with Schillay chiming in, “They’re looking for a reality show. He told us. He told us.”

Ripa added, “Wait, that’s right. Wait a minute. Hang on. Alec Baldwin on this here podcast said they are looking for a reality show.”

Richards revealed that she first shared the idea with Alec “a couple of years back.” She added, “I said something about it then, and then I was like, he’s like, ‘Oh, we’re living in New York,’ but I don’t know. He said something about her in LA and I was like, ‘Well, the door’s open.”

While Ripa believes it would be “amazing television” there are quite a few people who aren’t exactly excited to see Hilaria on the popular series. One account on X referenced Alec’s upcoming Rust trial and how it might feel out of tune with what Halyna Hutchins’ family feels after her death. “Alec will be in court in july to answer justice about the death of Halyna … I don’t think the Halyna’s family wants to see him or his wife being in RHOBH like everything is ok,” they wrote. 

And of course, there’s the Hilary from Boston/Hilaria from Spain issue. “The woman lied for years about being born in Spain and faking a Spanish accent. No thanks. We don’t need a proven liar. We have enough of those in HW,” a second Housewives fan noted. And one account hilariously pointed out that Beverly Hills cast member Dorit Kemsley already has an accent issue. “Hilaria and Dorit accent battle,” they wrote. 

It doesn’t sound like viewers are confident that the Baldwin family is the right choice for the 90210, especially when Richards’ last recommendation, Annemarie Wiley, only lasted one season. Perhaps casting should be left to the Bravo TV producers.
