Leah Remini is already deep into the drama, less than a week after joining The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. On Wednesday, September 2, the 56-year-old shared her first Instagram photo alongside fellow castmates Kyle Richards and Sutton Stracke, posing with the trio seated together at a restaurant with food spread out in front of them.
Eagle-eyed fans noticed a bandage emoji placed over Stracke's face in the snap, with Remini captioning the post playfully: "Not even a week in and Sutton has stitches." Stracke, 54, played along in the comments, writing, "You really have a strong right hook! You had me in stitches!!!;)".
Fans reacted with enthusiasm to the early glimpse of Remini's new dynamic with the cast, with one writing, "The way I've never needed a season more." Remini's casting was confirmed in late August alongside fellow newcomer Tracy Tutor, the former Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles star.
The two join returning full-time cast members Kyle Richards, Erika Jayne, Dorit Kemsley, Bozoma Saint John, Rachel Zoe and Sutton Stracke, with Kathy Hilton and Jennifer Tilly returning in "friends of the housewives" roles. A premiere date for RHOBH Season 16 has not yet been announced, though filming is already underway.
