Kathy Hilton spoke exclusively to Us Weekly on Friday, November 6, while hosting her Annual Holiday PJ Party at her Bel-Air mansion, about Leah Remini and Tracy Tutor joining The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills for season 16.
She described both newbies as coming in strong and not being intimidated by the long-time OGs, suggesting a potentially dynamic shift in group interactions as the season unfolds.
Leah Remini, known for King of Queens and her stance on Scientology, had earlier been confirmed to join season 16, marking her return to a major reality franchise in a recent high-profile move.
Tracy Tutor, a Million Dollar Listing alum, also confirmed her involvement with the cast via social media posts announcing the upcoming season.

Despite claiming to not watch the show often, Hilton said she plans to binge-season 16, signaling interest in how the new dynamics will play out and influence viewer momentum.
Separately, Hilton highlighted her holiday-themed event and the launch of Hunky Dory cocktails, including an espresso martini flavor, portraying the product as high-quality and affordable.
