Morgan Stewart is clearing up one of the latest casting rumors surrounding “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.”
As speculation continues over who will hold a diamond for Season 16, the former “Rich Kids of Beverly Hills” star suddenly found herself at the center of reports claiming she could be headed back to Bravo.
Now, Stewart has answered the question herself, and her response leaves very little room for interpretation.
Morgan Stewart Responds to RHOBH Season 16 Casting Rumors
Stewart addressed the speculation directly after a fan reached out to her on Instagram and asked whether there was any truth to the reports.
“Morgan stop playing we need confirmation if ur [sic] on RHOBH or not!?!??!!!” the fan wrote in response to an Instagram Story Stewart shared.
Stewart responded with a firm denial.
“I don’t know what happened today but no I am not joining [The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills],” she wrote.
The message came after Stewart’s name began circulating as a potential addition to the Season 16 cast. For longtime Bravo viewers, the possibility immediately drew attention. Stewart previously starred on “Rich Kids of Beverly Hills,” which premiered on E! in 2014 and followed a group of wealthy young friends living in Los Angeles.
She appeared on all four seasons of the reality series before it ended in 2016. Stewart later became a television personality on E!, including as a host of “Nightly Pop.” She is married to Dr. Phil McGraw’s son, Jordan McGraw, and the couple shares two children.
For now, however, fans should not expect her Bravo comeback to happen on RHOBH. At least according to Stewart herself, there is no diamond in her immediate future.
RHOBH Season 16 Casting Is Starting to Take Shape
The Morgan Stewart speculation comes at a particularly busy moment for RHOBH casting news.
Bravo officially announced on August 19 that “Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles” alum Tracy Tutor is joining “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” for Season 16. Tutor is hardly a stranger to the Bravo universe or several people connected to the Beverly Hills franchise.
“Beverly Hills is home. I’ve raised my girls here, built my career here, and now apparently I’ve decided to let you all even further into my life,” Tutor wrote while announcing her new role on Instagram. “Excited? Very. Nervous? A little. Likely to get into some trouble? Absolutely.”
Andy Cohen celebrated the news in the comments, writing, “This has been a long time coming!”
Tutor’s addition follows another major change to the cast. Amanda Frances announced earlier in August that she would not return after joining RHOBH for Season 15.
“My time on [RHOBH] is complete,” Frances wrote on Instagram. “Saying yes to this show was one of the boldest, wildest, most clarifying things I’ve ever done.”
While casting reports and rumors continue to circulate, Bravo has not announced the complete lineup for Season 16.
That leaves plenty of room for speculation as the next chapter of RHOBH comes together. But when it comes to one of the names that generated buzz this week, Stewart has made her position clear: She says she is not joining the cast.
