The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is currently on its 11th season and has had some of the juiciest moments in the franchise. The ladies of Beverly Hills have the money, the houses, the cars, but they also have some of the darkest secrets. Over time, those secrets become known because it's hard to hide skeletons from the depths of reality TV cameras who are around 24/7.
Some of the women believe their secrets will stay in their closets throughout their entire time on the show but that's rarely the case. The second a friend turns their back on a castmate, the secrets come spilling out of the teapot.
Kyle Hid Her Sister's Demons For Longer Than She Could Take
In the first season of RHOBH, fans could sense there was tension between Kyle and Kim as sisters. They were both very different from each other and were tired of each other's behavior. But by the end of the season, Kyle let the cat out of the bag in regards to her sister's wellbeing and it seemed like they hated each other.
Kyle called Kim an "alcoholic" and dropped a bunch of family drama that viewers were unaware of. From that moment on, viewers caught on to Kim's addiction and it became a storyline that was no longer a secret but out in the open.
A Secret By Denise, Kept From Denise
Denise had some memorable quotes throughout her time on RHOBH, but none were like the lines spoken by Brandi. After a solid first season, Denise came back in season 2 on a mission to make her image appear more family-friendly. Brandi, however, blew that plan up in smoke.
Brandi admitted to Teddi, Kim, and Kyle Richards that she slept with Denise. This news was shocking because Denise was married and they couldn't imagine her husband being okay with this. Soon the group learned about the rumor but kept it from Denise until Teddi couldn't keep it in any longer. Denise denied everything in its entirely, even though Brandi had texts that seemed guilty. What happened between the two of them is still a secret of sorts to this day.
Kim Richards' Secret About Harry Hamlin That Never Came Out
When the ladies went to Amsterdam in season 5, a nice dinner out turned into the second Dinner Party from Hell. Lisa Rinna and Kim had been bumping heads all season, but when Rinna apologized to Kim for her actions fans thought things were looking up. Kim, however, did not accept her apology and went after her for keeping her family's secrets.
Kim said "let's talk about the husband. Let's talk about what you don't want out," which prompted Lisa to get angry and hostile. Shockingly, the secret about "the husband" never came out.

One night while the girls were eating dinner, Erika admitted that Tom cheated on her in the past. And in a shocking turn of events, Kyle admitted that she's heard that rumor before and ignored it until the truth came out. The fact that people knew about her husband's secret infidelities was shocking.
Lisa Was Caught Red Handed
Puppygate was a silly storyline that became a massive argument within the group and led to the demise of villain Lisa Vanderpump's credibility. Teddi admitted that LVP was behind the tabloid stories and was going after Dorit for getting rid of a dog she adopted from LVP's dog foundation.
Lisa, however, denies admitting anything to Teddi, which led to a "she said, she said" situation. However, the group caught Lisa red-handed when she couldn't keep track of her secretive lies anymore. Lisa admitted that she didn't know that Teddi knew some of the information but a few scenes later, she said she did, in fact, know of Teddi's involvement. So which one was it?
Erika's Entire Relationship With Tom
Fans supported Erika's relationship and lifestyle when she first became a Housewife because she seemed honest and had nothing to hide. But as fans know now, that wasn't always the case.
In season 11, Erika admitted that her relationship with Tom has not been good for years and that she was silenced in her marriage. She had no voice, the romance was business-related, and they weren't equal partners. Fans and friends were shocked by her secrets because it was the opposite of everything she had been selling for years.
The Truth About Puppygate
Dorit's quotes around Puppygate were some of the best in her career as a Housewife because she was basically pleading her innocence after being attacked by Lisa and the press.
After Dorit rehomed a puppy that she adopted from Vanderpump Dogs, that family then gave the puppy to a shelter. Lisa was so upset by this that she then had a vendetta against Dorit. Suddenly, the story was all over the tabloids, meaning it could have only been Lisa who sold it. However, the secret of who leaked or didn't leak the story will never come to light because everyone pleaded their innocence. All the ladies, however, believe Lisa was behind it all.
Camille's Marriage Wasn't All Smiles While Long-Distance

Although she praised her husband and their life together, the secrets of their unhappy and unhealthy marriage slowly started coming out when Kelsey was living in New York for Broadway. By season 2, Camille admitted that her marriage was in ruins and that they were divorcing.
Taylor Armstrong's Husband Wasn't Innocent
Taylor Armstrong's entire storyline in season 1 can be forgotten about since the show is already in its 11th season these days. However, her marriage to Russell could never be swept under the rug. Taylor was open from the start that as much as she loved her husband and their life together, they were better business partners than husband and wife.
Slowly but surely, Taylor's emotional reactions at parties began making sense as it was noted that she and Russell were in an abusive relationship. Taylor didn't want the world to know about the secrets of her marriage but they came out full force thanks to reality TV.
