Brandi Glanville to depart 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills'

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., June 19 (UPI) -- Brandi Glanville will reportedly depart The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

The 42-year-old reality star was made a series regular in season 3, but will not return as such in season 6. Sources told TMZ the Bravo program is open to having Glanville make occasional appearances.

The past season saw Glanville clash with several of her co-stars, including Kyle Richards. The reality star is close to Richards' sister, Kim Richards, who will allegedly take a break from the series due to her continued struggle with substance abuse.

"Brandi got too big for her britches," an insider told People magazine of Glanville's departure. "She was a diva and it came around to bite her. By the end, she couldn't get along with anyone, and no one wanted to shoot with her."

Glanville came to fame as a model, and joined Real Housewives as a guest in season 2. She is known for her relationship with ex-husband Eddie Cibrian, who cheated on the reality star with Scheana Marie Jancan and LeAnn Rimes during their nine-year marriage.
