The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills<\/em><\/a> executive producer Alex Baskin<\/strong> shut down rumors of a cast overhaul for season 16.<\/p>\n

On Friday, May 23, rumors circulated that Dorit Kemsley<\/strong><\/a> was being put on pause for next season after clashing with longtime friends<\/a> Kyle Richards<\/strong> and Erika Jayne<\/strong> in the season 15 reunion.<\/p>\n

Per a blind item, Kyle, 57, 54, Erika, Sutton Stracke,<\/strong> Bozoma Saint John<\/strong> and Rachel Zoe<\/strong> were all \u201clocked in\u201d for season 16, with Jennifer Tilly<\/strong> returning as \u201cfriend of the Housewives.\u201d Plus, the blind item alleged that Bravo offered controversial newbie Amanda Frances<\/strong><\/a> a new contract and that RHOBH<\/em> alum Crystal Kung Minkoff<\/strong> was \u201cback in the mix.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alex, 45, quickly denied there was any validity to these latest rumors, dismissing them as \u201cnot true\u201d via his Instagram Story on Friday.<\/p>\n

Dorit, 49, is currently in the middle of a messy divorce with husband PK Kemsley<\/strong>, with the couple battling this month over allegations that she spent more than $1 million<\/a> \u2014 calculated to be 80 percent of her available funds \u2014 on luxury items over the past year.<\/p>\n

Dorit reacted to PK\u2019s allegations during an Extra<\/em><\/a> interview on Thursday, May 21, promising that she would \u201chave a response to it\u201d in court soon.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you\u2019re in litigation, you have to sort of follow the legal process,\u201d she explained. \u201cI think there will be answers to everything. When you hear one version or one narrative, there\u2019s always another side.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dorit added, \u201cDo I love fashion? Yes. Do I spend a lot of money on clothes, expensive clothes, designer clothes? Yes. It is my choice. It is also my money. It\u2019s my money that I earn, that I work for. Not his money. However, once PK and I can finish and have an agreement, what I choose to spend my money on and what he chooses to spend his money on, it\u2019s our own choice.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think, right now because we\u2019re sort of intertwined, there\u2019s a sort of feeling like you can have a say about what the other is spending,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>\n

Dorit\u2019s extravagant spending was a major point of contention during RHOBH<\/em> season 15, as Kyle openly questioned whether her frenemy was acting out because of her marital issues. Kyle warned at the recent reunion that it was \u201ca lot of money [Dorit] is spending\u201d during shopping sprees on RHOBH<\/em>.<\/p>\n
