Bravo's The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills was the sixth city to join the reality franchise. Housewives fans had seen the grit in New Jersey and the outlandish spending in Orange County, but now it was time to live vicariously through the rich of the rich in Beverly Hills.
The first season aired in 2010 and featured Kyle Richards, Kim Richards, Lisa Vanderpump, Adrienne Maloof, Taylor Armstrong, and Camille Grammer as the main cast. Just like every Real Housewives series, RHOBH brought the drama. Just because the ladies were wealthy and full of poise and prestige didn't mean they were above getting down and dirty. Keep reading to relive the wild adventures of season 1.
10 Taylor Spent $60,000 On A 4-Year-Old's Birthday Party
In the episode "It's My Party and I'll Spend If I Want To," viewers found out just how rich the Armstrongs were when they threw a birthday party for their 4-year-old daughter, Kennedy. Casually speaking to the cameras, Taylor says that birthday parties for kids in Beverly Hills can run up to $50,000... At the party, their entire backyard was decorated with flowers and all things pink. It was a tea party theme with different hats, teapots, and a whole lot of expensive activities for kids and their parents.
9 Camille's Marriage Fell Apart
Camille Grammer was still married to Kelsey Grammer in season 1 of RHOBH. However, with Kelsey working in New York, Camille was alone with her kids quite often on the West Coast. It was obvious that things weren't going well for the couple, and that was fully realized when she went to see him in New York.
The pair acted like strangers. But when Kelsey was nominated for a Tony, Camille fled to New York to be his red carpet date (regardless of knowing that their marriage was over).
8 Allison DuBois Caused One Of The Most Memorable Dinner Scenes
Allison DuBois was a key player in the most dramatic dinner party to end all dinner parties.
Hosted by Camille, the ladies headed over to the Grammer estate for dinner and psychic reading. Allison DuBois was a psychic and Camille's friend. After one too many strong drinks and tension at the table, Allison lashed out at some of the ladies, especially Kyle. Allison essentially said Kyle and her husband were unfulfilled in their relationship and she was in a loveless marriage. As one can imagine, tears were shed and harsh words were exchanged.
7 Kyle's White Party Was A Mess
In the episode "How to Behave," Kyle and her family threw a white party where everyone had to wear white. The ladies tried their best to get along, but when Camille showed up with an off-putting gift, Kyle grew annoyed.
Camille presented Kyle with a "joke gift", a book called How To Behave. Camille thought the book was appropriate because she didn't enjoy Kyle's behavior at her pool/tennis party earlier...
6 Lisa & Ken's Houseguest, Cedric
When being introduced to Lisa and Ken in the pilot episode, they mentioned they had a houseguest named Cedric. Cedric had a close relationship with Lisa and Ken in London and followed them to Beverly Hills. But what once started as a short-term stay lasted over a year. Eventually, Cedric got greedy, and Lisa and Ken had no choice but to move on with their lives without him.
5 Taylor's Marriage Was On The Outs
Taylor was married to businessman Russell Armstrong for six years. The pair didn't seem incredibly in unison but there had to be love there, right? As the first season went on, it was obvious the couple was hanging by a thread. All of the money and clothes couldn't mask Taylor's unhappiness anymore. Their daughter Kennedy became their only commonality. Taylor admitted that Russell did get physical with her on more than on occasion and she felt stuck. It was an upsetting situation and shortly after proceedings began, Russell committed suicide.
4 The Limo Ride From Hell
Kim and Kyle Richards may have been sisters, but they were estranged. Due to their difference in parenting and general lifestyle, the two fought often. Kim also had addiction issues, which caused Kyle and their family pain.
In the season 1 finale, Kyle had enough of Kim's erratic behavior and threatened her in the limo. She called Kim an alcoholic and that if she didn't get help, she and her husband were done financially supporting her. Looking back, it was an incredibly hard scene to watch between sisters.
3 One Name: Adrienne Maloof
Remember Adrienne Maloof? For anyone who didn't watch the first season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, she was married to Botched star Paul Nassif. He's more of a star than she is these days, but she'll always be fondly remembered on RHOBH.
Being married to Paul, the couple seemed like an odd relationship. He was so goofy and light-hearted and appeared to bother Adrienne with everything he did. It wasn't much of a surprise when the two got divorced in 2012 (two years after season 1).
2 Lisa & Adrienne Lived Across The Street From Each Other
In the pilot episode of season 1, Adrienne is explaining her family business and what made them as rich as they were. Not only was Paul a plastic surgeon, but she also co-owned the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas. They also lived right across the street from Lisa and Ken. Bravo fans know how divine the Vanderpump home is, which can give an idea of how nice the Maloof home was as well.
1 Kim And Taylor Never Got Along
Although Taylor only lasted three seasons and Kim lasted five, these two never got along. No matter how many fake apologies were shared, they always came back swinging. It wasn't until after their time on the show that the ladies came together and supported each other.
