Tracy Tutor joins RHOBH season 16: likely to get into trouble
Tracy Tutor confirmed on August 19, 2026 that she is joining The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills for Season 16. The Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles star made the announcement on Instagram as Bravo's Beverly Hills franchise was already filming its next season, telling fans she is excited, a little nervous, and "likely to get into some trouble." Her casting ends months of speculation and sets up potential drama given her existing ties to the cast.
Key Takeaways
- Tracy Tutor officially joins RHOBH Season 16 after previously saying on Watch What Happens Live she would "100 percent" accept a cast spot.
- Season 16 is already in production; Bravo has not yet announced a full cast list or premiere date.
- Tutor brings 24 years of luxury real estate experience, MDLLA fame, and existing Beverly Hills ties that could fuel on-screen conflict.
- A public 2025 feud with Dorit Kemsley and her friendship with Mauricio Umansky set up immediate storylines.
- Earlier fan-site casting emails incorrectly suggested Bravo had decided against adding Tutor this season.
Why Is Tracy Tutor Joining RHOBH Now?
In an August 19 Instagram post, Tutor wrote that "the secret's officially out" and that 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," she said, closing with: "Let's f--king go."
Deadline reported that Season 16 was already in production when Tutor confirmed her casting. The announcement follows Amanda Frances confirming her exit after Season 15, which also introduced designer Rachel Zoe as a new cast member.
Tutor had telegraphed interest for years. On Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen in January 2023, she said she would "100 percent" join and that she could "bring a little heat," noting she knows many of the women—"not equally."
Who Is Tracy Tutor Beyond Million Dollar Listing?
Fans know Tutor from Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles, where she joined as the show's first female broker in Season 10 (2017) and remained through Season 15, which wrapped in September 2024. Bravo describes her as a bestselling author, entrepreneur, and luxury agent with 24 years of experience.
Her professional highlights include exclusive representation of the West Hollywood Edition, which sold for a record-breaking nearly $200 million in 2021, and expansion into Texas with more than $200 million in Dallas and Austin listings. Since MDLLA ended, she was named one of Los Angeles Business Journal's 2026 Leaders of Influence in Real Estate and launched the digital series Mansions & Martinis with Josh Flagg in December 2025.

What RHOBH Connections Could Spark Season 16 Drama?
Tutor enters a cast still processing fallout from Season 15, including Dorit Kemsley's fractured friendships with Kyle Richards and Erika Jayne amid her divorce from Paul "PK" Kemsley, and Kyle's ongoing separation from Mauricio Umansky.
Tutor is friends with Mauricio through their real estate work—a link that could intersect with Kyle's storyline. She also clashed publicly with Dorit in 2025, alleging Dorit "doesn't pay her bills" and owes money to several people, including a shared hairstylist. Dorit dismissed the claim on WWHL in March 2025, calling it "hysterical" and "the funniest thing I've ever heard."
Bravo's official report frames those ties as pre-existing tension within the RHOBH circle—exactly the kind of heat Tutor once said she could bring.
Did Earlier Casting Rumors Say Tracy Tutor Was Out?
Before Tutor's announcement, Bravo and Cocktails published a casting email claiming Bravo had "decided against Tracy right now" because Rachel Zoe joined last season. That tip also floated Morgan Stewart and Candace as potential newbies.
Tutor's August 19 confirmation overrides that unverified report. As Bravo noted, fans should stay tuned for more Season 16 details, including the full cast and premiere date. Full confirmation and quotes are available via Bravo's official announcement.
