The Real Housewives franchise is responsible for some of the best reality shows of all time, and there are multiple cities airing at any given time on Bravo (and streaming with a Peacock subscription). We're nearing the end of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 15, and while I don't want Kyle Richards to exit, I do think she should take a page out of Cynthia Bailey's book and become a friend of. Let me explain why.
Cynthia Bailey was one of the longest-running characters on Real Housewives of Atlanta before she departed as a main cast member in 2011. But after taking a season off, she's returned as a "Friend Of" and has been the emotional core of the more recent outings. And I think this is a role that Kyle Richards would do great in on RHOBH.
