Were producers right to stop Denise from leaving the disastrous dinner on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills? Even though nothing was solved, it was important that the actress went back to face the women.
Bravo cameras were still in Rome following Teddi Mellencamp, Sutton Stracke, Lisa Rina, Kyle Richards, Denise Richards, Erika Jayne, Dorit Kemsley, and Garcelle Beauvais on their Italian vacation. After a fun day sitting in a sidecar of a Vespa and napping, the women planned to meet up for another dinner. The new episode picked up where the last one left off, with Denise Richards accusing Lisa and Kyle of also sleeping with Brandi Glanville. Both denied it, saying they believe Denise was just trying to throw others under the bus to save her own skin.
Bravo fans are very much used to Denise using the "Bravo Bravo Bravo" trick to have production edit her in a light she approves of. Unfortunately for her, the crew caught on to her trick this season and started showing the type of person she really is, instead of the squeaky-clean image she tried to portray. This has caused her immense frustration, even though the other women encouraged her to explain the truth to clear her name.
During the disastrous dinner in Rome, Denise and Garcelle showed up to the restaurant early to load up on carbs and wine for the impending attack. Before any of the women could grab a glass of vino, Denise erupted like a volcano and told every single one of the women that she felt they were "mean girls." No one at the table saw it coming and all heartily disagreed with her assessment. But before they could retaliate, the Wild Things actress stormed off...again. Surprisingly, Garcelle also abruptly left the table during Dorit’s speech, but viewers felt she just wanted to buy herself some camera time. Denise then walked out, demanding a car so she could leave. Immediately, production stepped in to convince Denise it was wrong to leave, and that the other women deserve to have a say. Fans were not surprised that the Bravo crew had to step in. Denise has been known to want to be filmed her way and, frankly, that is not what she signed up for.
Even though Denise decided to stand up for herself, her speech did not land well with fans. Many doubt they will see her back on the next season and hope if she does return she will have a much better understanding of what she signed up for.
