A source confirms to PEOPLE that Hilton didn’t film for season 13, following up on Hilton’s own reveal that she had been more involved with season 2 of daughterParis Hilton’s Peacock reality show.
When asked if she would be returning for the upcoming 13th season ofRHOBH, the 64-year-old toldE! News: “No, I’m doingParis in Love.”
She added ofHousewives: “But I know it’s going to be great. It’s always interesting and fun and lots of drama.”
News of her departure comes after her sister and former costarKyle Richardsrevealed last week that her relationship with Hilton was still strained following theRHOBHseason 12 reunion, which aired in October.
“Things are obviously not great — I think most people know that,” theHalloween Killsstar toldE! News. “But we’re family, we’re blood. We’ll always come back together."
The pair reunited at their niece Whitney Davis’sbridal showera few weeks ago and will attend her upcoming wedding.
“It’s my niece’s special day and she’s going to be getting married, and we’re all going to be together there,” the reality star shared. “We’ll be, of course, civil and nice and hopefully, one day, be back to normal again.”

Hilton quickly became a fan favorite during her first season on the show. Some of her most iconic and viral moments include her asking, “Who’s Hunky Dory?” as well as her hilarious inability to correctly play two truths and a lie.
But the fun and games came to a screeching halt in her second season as she wasaccused of having an off-screen meltdownduring a cast trip to Aspen. At the time, Hilton allegedly misbehaved while at a club with the group — and even used the F-word slur.
Though Kyle chose to forgive and forget what Hilton allegedly did, Rinna wasn’t backing down.
“I’m sorry, Kathy,you’re not going to get away with it with me,” Rinna said in a previous episode. “You can have your tears. You can do what you’re going to do but you did what you did and you’re not going to just gaslight and manipulate me right now.”
In the season 12 finale episode, Rinna and fellow castmateErika Girardiwere accused of leaking information on Hilton’s meltdown to the press. But Kyle disclosed to the group that Girardi’s publicist was allegedly behind the matter.

Hilton later declared that she would not return to the series if Rinna, 59, and Girardi, 51, weren’t removed from the cast.
Hilton also accused Rinna and Girardi of being “desperate for a storyline.”
“They’ll throw anybody under the bus,” she added. “I said a few weeks ago, ‘You watch. They’re all going to start turning on each other.'”
Rinna announced her ownexit from the seriesin January.
