Leah Remini is trading takedowns of Scientology for diamonds and drama. Variety reports that the 56-year-old King of Queens alum and outspoken critic of Scientology has signed on as a full-time cast member for Season 16 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, alongside another new hire: real estate pro and Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles vet Tracy Tutor. They join returning stars Kyle Richards, Erika "Jayne" Girardi, Dorit Kemsley, Bozoma Saint John, Rachel Zoe, and Sutton Stracke, with Kathy Hilton and Jennifer Tilly back as "friends."
"It's true!" Remini wrote on an Instagram post announcing the news, while Tutor noted on her own social media: "The secret's officially out." Not returning: Amanda Frances, who says she wasn't asked back despite a supportive DM from Rihanna proclaiming, "We need more of you!" Filming is underway, with Remini set to start shooting in Los Angeles this week, as Bravo leans into a supersize cast after a tense Season 15 reunion. People notes that a premiere date for the upcoming season hasn't yet been announced.
