The surprise visit led to invitations to film the next day. Her Season 13 appearance was a guest cameo, not a full-time return to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
Why Denise Richards showed up at Garcelle Beauvais’s screening
Richards attended a Los Angeles screening of Beauvais’s Lifetime movie Black Girl Missing at Beauty & Essex. Speaking to Variety, she described the appearance as spontaneous: “I was at her screening as a friend — like a real friend. I didn’t tell anyone I was gonna be there. Production didn’t know.” The Los Angeles Times reported that she was invited to some events the following day, which led to more filming. Los Angeles Times

“This all just happened recently, on the spur of the moment,” Richards said. She also told Variety that filming had been fun. ET
Was she back as a full-time Housewife?
No. Richards filmed some Season 13 episodes, but contemporary reports described the appearance as a guest return or cameo—not a full-time cast role. ET reported that Richards said not to expect her to be holding a diamond. ET
#1 Best Overall
- This is the complete Season 2 (20 episodes) plus the 3-Part Reunion Special AND Lost footage.
That distinction matters: appearing in footage or at filmed events does not mean she resumed a principal role on the show.

Richards said she wanted the show to make room for women having fun, not only for conflict. “I understand there has to be drama, but I also think it’s fun to see women having fun, especially this age group,” she told Variety, according to the Los Angeles Times. Los Angeles Times

She also said she felt she had not been “sucked into” the drama during the Season 13 filming and encouraged the cast to be themselves rather than “self-produce.” Reflecting on her departure after Season 10, Richards described some women as “very toxic” and said they had “played so dirty.” Those are her assessments of her experience, not independent findings about the cast.
