And just like that, another season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is upon us. It’s not too surprising — when Bravo has a trainwreck like Erika Jayne on their hands, they’re going to squeeze out as many episodes as possible.
E! Online premiered the trailer for RHOBH Season 11, set to premiere May 11. Erika’s legal issues will still be central to the story, but there’s a huge pot of drama to stir with plenty of people more than willing to grab a spoon.
Let’s start off with Erika because the Ice Queen never melts. She’s still going through her divorce and legal issues from Tom Girardi, even though her co-stars will never properly call her out for it. The trailer shows Erika living it up as a single woman. Mainly, she’s partying a lot and entertaining a few gentlemen. But her celebratory lifestyle has her friends worried. “You can take your antidepressants or you drink but you can’t do both,” Lisa Rinna told her. Wow is this Rinna actually standing up to Erika? It may be in a minor scenario, but baby steps.
Erika continues to explode on her co-stars for bringing up anything about her very public problems. One moment in the trailer shows her exploding on Crystal Kung Minkoff, who has found her footing in her sophomore season. “You want to be on the side of the victims because you think that’s cool,” Erika snipes. “I don’t give a f–k about anybody else but me.” Erika, WE KNOW. I don’t think anyone standing up for the victims thinks it’s a “cool” thing to do — it’s just morally right. Her evilness never ceases to amaze me.
Erika might still snap back at her so-called friends for talking about her life, but it doesn’t mean they have to take it. One person we know will stand up for herself in a group of mean girls is Garcelle Beauvais, and nothing has changed. “Erika, I don’t have to make you look bad. You can do that on your own,” Garcelle claps back at Erika. GIRL I’M SCREAMING. I feel like we’ve been waiting years for someone to say that to Erika’s face. Of course, it was going to be our girl Garcelle.
In an attempt to deflect the attention away from her mess, Erika decides it’s time to throw Kathy Hilton under the bus. Kathy’s first season as a friend-of was as light-hearted as you can get. She is Kyle Richards’ goofy sister that everyone fell in love with. But this go around, it won’t be smooth sailing.
We know some stuff went down on the RHOBH trip to Aspen, where Kathy begged her husband to save her from the vacation. Also, although Kyle and Kathy have seemingly gotten in a better place in their relationship, trouble is coming. In one scene, there’s a dramatic sitdown between the two sisters while Rinna manically looks on from the side.
Rinna looks like she’s trying to play Andy Cohen and mediate, which is the worst idea I’ve ever heard. “You said some things about this beautiful sister of yours. I’m sorry, Kathy, you’re not going to get away with it,” Rinna says. I’m over Rinna trying to make people own it. She’s much more enjoyable when she’s chasing Harry Hamlin around with a hose.
Kyle is also shown breaking down to her sister. “I feel like you hate me or something. How could you say those things?” Kyle cries. What could have Kathy possibly said? She’s being accused of saying some not-so-nice things to various staff members in her circle, but to her own sister? All I know is that Kim Richards is going to take one look at this mess and never want to come back. What a shame.
The trailer also gives us a glimpse at newbie Diana Jenkins, who doesn’t seem to get along with Sutton Stracke very well. Sutty Butty is an oddball who takes some time warming up to. However, she calls Diana a “soulless person” and the two seem to have quite a dark disagreement. “You need a new villain? Here I am,” Diana proudly proclaimed. I love the chaotic vibes from this over-the-top wealthy newbie.
Of course, the RHOBH trailer hints at Dorit Kemsley and PK Kemsley dealing with the aftermath of a violent home invasion, which looks pretty emotional. Rinna is seen dealing with the heartbreaking loss of her mother Lois Rinna. And there are a few extravagant vacations and shopping sprees thrown into the mix. After all, it is Beverly Hills, darlings.
