5 things to know about RHOBH‘s new cast member, Dorit Kemsley

Hot on the heels of Lisa Vanderpump’s announcement that she will be returning to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and Kathryn Edwards’ announcement that she will not, it seems there’s another Housewife waiting in the wings to shake things up for Season 7 of the show.

Us Weekly is reporting that the newest addition to the cast is Dorit Kemsley, a close friend of Vanderpump’s. Kemsley fills one of the spots left vacant by the exits of Edwards and Yolanda Hadid, who also recently announced that she would not be back on the show.

Bravo hasn’t confirmed the reports yet, but so far, it seems the English fashion designer will become a familiar face when RHOBH’s seventh season premieres later this year.
