Denise Richards opened up about her regrets and what led her to proclaim, “Bravo, Bravo, f*cking Bravo,” on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills while appearing on Scheana Shay‘s podcast last week.
As she also revealed which of her castmates shared the production tip, which produces unusable footage, with her after she joined the Bravo reality series in 2019 for season nine, Denise, 53, said that her number one regret involved her husband, Aaron Phypers, and confirmed her “Bravo, Bravo” moment had nothing to do with Brandi Glanville, 51.
“Is there anything that you regret sharing while on the show?” Scheana, 38, asked Denise on the March 1 episode of Scheananigans.
“My husband’s penis size, although I’m sure he doesn’t,” Denise, who stars in the new Lifetime movie “Hunting Housewives,” replied. “He pretends like he does. He was so embarrassed, but he’s really, I’m sure, not embarrassed. Would a guy really be embarrassed? Would your husband be embarrassed?”
“No,” Scheana confirmed of Brock Davies.
When Scheana then mentioned Denise’s “Bravo, Bravo” moment, which many believe was the result of Denise not wanting to have a discussion about her alleged affair with Brandi, which she’s denied, air on the show, Denise first confirmed that she did not make up the phrase herself.
“Well I have to say, those b*tches told me that. I did not make that up. And then they pretended like, ‘We don’t know anything about that,’” she recalled, noting that it was Kyle Richards, 55, and Lisa Rinna, 60, who filled her in.
“Kyle and Lisa were the ones that told me to do that,” she claimed.
As for why she said the phrase in the middle of a RHOBH scene, Denise said the discussion at hand was something involving one of her family members, not her long-running feud with Brandi.
“When I said that, the truth is, it was in reference to something I blurted out at the table about a family member of mine and I didn’t want to say something about that,” she shared. “And that’s why I did it. People think it was because of Brandi. It wasn’t.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 13 reunion concludes next Wednesday, March 13, at 8/7c on Bravo.
