Brandi Glanville On 'RHOBH' Season Five: Reality Star Reportedly Joins Bravo For Next Season

Brandi Glanville has reportedly inked a deal to return to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

After two seasons as an official housewife and one season as a friend, Glanville will reportedly return to the show, as a housewife, when the fifth season premieres later this year on Bravo.

“Brandi will absolutely be back for another season,” the source told Radar Online. “There were rumors that she didn’t want to do it anymore, or that certain cast members were vying to get her off the show, but she really loves doing it and will return.”

As one of the most (if not the most) outspoken cast members on the series, Glanville is often the center of the show's story lines, and last season, went head-to-head with Lisa Vanderpump. In the seasons prior, Glanville and Vanderpump had been close friends, but during season four, they had a falling out and remain estranged.

After things soured between Glanville and the restaurateur, she began establishing friendships with other members of the cast, including her former nemesis, Kyle Richards, and the pair made waves when they insinuated Vanderpump had been manipulating them and other cast members during filming.

Although relationships and cast dynamics have changed drastically during the last year, Glanville reportedly needs the money and is prepared to go back into the lion's den to ensure her reality career remains intact.

“She needs the money. It’s not like she has another job,” the insider said. “Her books and stuff do well, but she’s got two boys and a certain lifestyle to support. She likes the money and notoriety that come along with being on the Real Housewives.”
