How to Watch

In The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 10 teaser, Denise Richards gave us a moment that has become iconic before it even aired. The preview shows the cast member saying “Bravo, Bravo, f—king Bravo. I’m out. I am not f—king doing this,” and also reveals that she stops “shooting with the group.” 

Kyle Richards explained that this might have something to do with an old joke the season 1 ‘Wives would make. “If the cameras come back up and we don’t want them to film us yet, we would joke and say, ‘Oh, Bravo, Bravo, Bravo. Hi, Andy Cohen. Hi, Andy Cohen.’ And then laugh so they wouldn’t use the footage because you can’t break the fourth wall because they don’t acknowledge that we’re on a show,” Kyle said during an Instagram Live chat with The Daily Dish podcast

Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave, on the other hand, has a different take on it. During an episode of The Daily Dish podcast, Teddi was asked if she ever “called out the safe word,” to which she responded, “One, there’s no safe word,” and said that she’s “never seen anybody else in our group do that.” 

Teddi went on to say that Denise “did that multiple times this year,” which was a tactic she did not necessarily agree with. 

“Every single time she did it, I was like, who told her this?” said Teddi. “Like, there was one point we were at a dinner, and she’s like ‘Bravo, Bravo, Bravo,’ like a crazy person. And I’m like, you know what you signed up for.’” 

“All of us have been in the hot seat at one point or another. And within this group, there are some times where you’re gonna say something about somebody and feel differently two weeks later. And that’s life. It’s what happens,” she said. 

She also addressed it on a recent episode of WWHL:
