TV Icon Set to Join ‘RHOBH’ Season 16, Andy Cohen Reacts </a>
</p>

<p id=”par-3_16″>Both cast additions have been a long time in the making, producer Andy Cohen recently said. </p>
<p id=”par-4_36″>“The big announcement is that Tracy Tutor is joining <em>The Housewives of Beverly Hills</em> and Leah Remini is joining. It’s really great,” Cohen said in a recent episode of his SiriusXM <em>Radio Andy </em>show (via <a href=”https://www.instagram.com/reel/DdHboGoE9RU/”>Instagram</a>).</p>
<p id=”par-5_12″>“We have been dancing around both of them for years,” he added. </p>
<p id=”par-6_39″>The <em>Watch What Happens Live </em>host said that he and Tutor had long been flirting with the idea of her joining <em>RHOBH. </em>She already “know[s] everybody” in the cast. “It is very clear that this makes very good sense.” </p>
<p id=”par-7_18″>As for Remini, Cohen made it clear that brining her into the Bravo family was a major coup. </p>
<p id=”par-8_47″>“I think for us – she’s such a big star. And she has such a huge profile. And this show is so different. I love it,” he said, adding that Remini – who is famous for speaking out <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/leah-remini-describes-her-reaction-to-tom-cruises-request-to-play-hide-and-seek-in-memoir-troublemaker.html/”>against the Church of Scientology</a> – is “so tough.” </p>
<p id=”par-9_26″>The new season of <em>RHOBH </em>is several weeks into filming, Cohen added. And apparently, what the cameras are capturing is gold. “It’s going gangbusters,” he said. </p>

<p id=”par-10_8″><em>Housewives </em>fans agreed that <em>RHOBH </em>needed some changes. </p>
<p id=”par-11_15″>“BH desperately needed the new blood. Hope they can shake things up,” one person commented. </p>
<p id=”par-12_19″>“All I care about is Leah joining and that for me is going to revived BH,” another person wrote. </p>
<p id=”par-13_35″>Critics have complained that <em>RHOBH </em>has felt stale in recent seasons, with recycled conflict and low-stakes drama. But adding two new full-time cast members has the potential to seriously shift the existing <em>RHOBH </em>dynamic. </p>
<p id=”par-14_54″>Tutor comes into the show with built-in drama with Dorit Kemsley. The pair have been feuding since last year after Tutor accused Kemsley of failing to pay her glam squad, a charge Kemsley denied. Tutor is also friends with Kyle Richards’ estranged husband Mauricio Umansky through the connections in the LA real estate world. </p>
<p id=”par-15_53″>Meanwhile, the Brooklyn-bred Remini is set to bring her signature outspokenness to Bravo. While it remains to be seen exactly how she’ll fit in with the <em>RHOBH </em>cast, it seems unlikely that the woman who publicly took on the Church of Scientology will shy away from speaking her mind to her fellow Housewives. </p>
