Most of Season 10 0f The Real Housewives of Beverley Hills revolved around rumors that former main cast member Brandi Glanville had slept with other members of the cast. Could Lisa Rinna have been that person?
Brandi Glanville did not really sleep with Lisa Rinna. Both Lisa and Brandi deny the allegations made by Denise Richards that they had slept together. However, Brandi has said that she and Denise Richards slept together when she visited Denise in Northern California.
You can read more below about how these allegations came out and what the fallout has been for everyone on RHOBH.
Brandi Glanville Spills to Ryan and Teddi
At the beginning of Season 10 of RHOBH, Brandi Glanville sat in a room with some of the other cast members where she ends up telling them what had happened between her and Denise Richards. She said that when they met for the first time she and Denise ended up making out in the bathroom at the restaurant they were at.
She goes on to tell Kyle Richards, Teddi Mellencamp Aroyave, and Erika Jayne that Denise invited her to visit her onset in Northern California to do an episode of Brandi’s podcast. According to Brandi, Denise insisted she stay in her hotel room instead of getting one separately.
Brandi says that Denise said she would get a rollaway bed, however, when she arrived there was no rollaway and she shared a bed with Denise. Finally, she goes on to say that on the second night of her visit the two of them ended up getting drunk and hooking up.
She tells everyone that Denise had told her that she was in an open marriage with her husband Aaron Phypers. According to Brandi, Denise said that she was allowed to do stuff with other girls if she wanted to as long as it wasn’t with another man.
However, after they were together Denise told Brandi not to tell anyone because Aaron would kill her.
Brandi Glanville told the group of women that her reason for telling them was because she herself had been cheated on by her ex-husband, Eddie Cibrian. If you didn’t know this already, Cibrian cheated on Glanville with country music star LeAnn Rimes.
Brandi went through so much emotional turmoil from the incident and said that she would never ever put anyone else’s marriage into that circumstance. Meaning she would never be the one someone cheated with.

The Fallout for RHOBH’s Cast
After hearing Brandi’s story, Teddi Mellencamp Aroyave decided to confront Denise about the allegations at dinner. After hearing them, Denise vehemently denied that any of it ever happened.
At one point she even bursts into tears and asks Bravo! not to air the allegations or the entire conversation. This was to no avail because most of Season 10 revolves around cast members trying to get to the bottom of the accusations.
Eventually, Lisa Rinna gets involved with the whole drama asking Denise if the allegations are true. Denise once again denies the allegations saying that she’s met Brandi once before and thinks Brandi is saying this to shock people.
However, at a later date, Brandi shows Lisa what she says are hundreds of texts between her and Denise. She also shows Lisa pictures of them together on multiple occasions, which leads to Lisa siding with Denise.
The group of women goes back and forth throughout the season trying to figure out who is telling the truth but neither of them seems to budge.
By the end of season 10, the entire group was split between who was behind Brandi and who was behind Denise. Lisa Rinna, Kyle Richards, Teddi Mellencamp, and Erika Jayne all seem to be on team Brandi. Meanwhile, Garcelle Beauvais, Sutton Stacke, and Camille Grammer are all on team Denise.
Denise Richards and Lisa Rinna’s friendship is effectively over and Brandi Glanville didn’t appear on the season finale because of a comment she made in an earlier episode.
Lastly, Denise Richards announced she would no longer be appearing on the show. Teddie Mellencamp Aroyave also announced that Bravo! had decided to not renew her contract.
With Denise’s departure from the show, it looks like we’ll never know if she and Brandi actually did sleep together. However, it is clear that Brandi Glanville and Lisa Rinna did not sleep together at all.
