Bravo’s new 3-day event BravoCon, which began on Friday, is already full of surprises.
Fans went wild when former “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Kim Richards made a surprise appearance at the “Bravo All Stars: OG Housewives Edition” panel on Friday morning.
Only former “RHOC” star Jeana Keough, “RHONY” star Jill Zarin, “RHOA” star Kim Zolciak-Biermann, “RHOBH” star Adrienne Maloof and “RHONJ” star Caroline Manzo were scheduled to attend.
Richards, who appeared on “RHOBH” from 2010-2015, struggled with sobriety throughout her time on the show and since then has had a slew of legal issues.
In May 2015, Richards was arrested after going on a drunken rampage at the Beverly Hills Hotel and arrested for a second time for shoplifting at a local Target just four months later. She was given a combined sentence that avoided jail time for both crimes.
Richards told the crowd at BravoCon, she now loves being a full-time grandma and misses the reality show.
She added of her journey to sobriety, “I’m glad I could share that. I love all of you!”
BravoCon is taking place in New York from Nov. 15-17.
