Kathy Hilton Explains Why She Won't Become Full-Time Cast Member on 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills'

Kathy Hilton may be a fan favorite on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, but don’t expect her to hold a diamond anytime soon. The Hilton matriarch just revealed why she’s steering clear of a full-time spot — and her reasons are as iconic as she is.

In a recent interview, Kathy explained that while she loves popping in for guest appearances, the idea of being a full-time Housewife just doesn’t appeal to her.

“It’s a lot of drama, a lot of time, and honestly… it’s just too much,” she confessed.

Fans have long hoped to see Kathy take center stage after her unforgettable moments — from tequila meltdowns to hilarious one-liners — but the socialite says she values her peace of mind and her family more than constant camera chaos.

“I love the girls, I really do,” Kathy added. “But I’m not trying to be in the middle of that kind of energy 24/7.”

Insiders say Kathy has also been hesitant due to ongoing tensions with her sister Kyle Richards, especially after their rocky reunion episodes and public family feuds. While the sisters seem to be mending things, Kathy’s decision not to go full-time may also be her way of keeping the peace.

Though she won’t be a main cast member, Kathy promised she’ll still make appearances — bringing her signature glam and unfiltered humor whenever she can.

So RHOBH fans, don’t worry — Kathy Hilton isn’t gone… she’s just keeping her crown on her own terms.
