Other RHOBH newbie Garcelle Beauvais was also not present for the vacation. The eyewitness also noted that during intermission, the women gathered backstage to say “hello” to the "Pretty Mess" singer. They then overheard Lisa, 56, gushing that, “Jayne was f**king amazing!"
Denise's absence comes hot off the heels of a rumor that claimed she had an affair with Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Brandi Glanville. The 48-year-old is currently married to husband Aaron Phypers. An Instagram account dedicated to Housewives news, titled, BestofBravo, posted about the alleged affair. “RHOBH: Denise Richards and Brandi Glanville allegedly slept together months ago,” the post from earlier this month read. “Because Denise and Aaron supposedly have an open marriage, Brandi was under the impression that Aaron knew, (but apparently he didn’t), so Brandi told several people. This is what allegedly started their feud. Also, Denise seems to feed the press trying to maintain control of the story.”
However, on January 8, Denise's rep revealed to People that the gossip was not true. A source also told the publication that drama will play out on the upcoming season of RHOBH. “What really happened with Brandi and Denise will play out on the season. There is a lot of she said, she said going on. But it’s going to be very dramatic," the source said.
