Kathy Hilton opened up about the upcoming 15th season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills at her annual holiday Pajama event, which she co-hosted with her daughter Nicky Hilton at her home in Bel-Air on Tuesday.
Following the release of the trailer for the new episodes, Kathy, 66, spoke of the drama that was to come as she insisted that she wasn’t part of it, explained why the tension between the cast was so “brutal,” and shared her thoughts on the series’ new cast member, Rachel Zoe, 54.
“It’s pretty brutal,” Kathy told Variety on November 4. “There’s no Kathy Hilton drama. I’m not really dramatic. All that drama makes me really sad. They’re all just very comfortable in saying whatever they want, and that’s what makes it brutal.”
As she was joined by guests, including Denise Richards, 54, Sutton Stracke, 54, Crystal Kung Minkoff, 42, Faye Resnick, 68, and Heather Dubrow, 56, at the QVC-presented event, which featured a holiday toy drive benefiting the Los Angeles Mission, Yogi’s House, and Camp Crocker Rescue, Kathy confirmed she’d heard from certain cast members after the trailer went live.
“I had a couple of phone calls today from some of the girls [after they saw the trailer], let’s just put it that way,” she stated. “Some of them were like, ‘I can’t believe so-and-so did this.’”
As for newbie Rachel, Kathy said she “came in and fit right in.”
“I don’t think she caused any drama,” she added.
Then, as Nicky, 42, reflected on her appearance at the finale, saying the event “was very dramatic,” Kathy teased, “It was bru-tal!”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 15 premieres Thursday, December 4, at 8/7c on Bravo.
