Cody Simpson’s Mom Angie NOT Joining RHOBH, Taylor Armstrong Officially Returning For Season 6!

We previously reported that Angie Simpson, mother of pop singer Cody Simpson was in talks to join The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills for Season 6, however, according to a new report, Angie was offered to join the Bravo hit series but turned down the offer, which forced producers to re-hire series alum Taylor Armstrong, filling Simpson's spot.

The Australian singer’s mom, Angie Simpson “was being pursued to join the show,” an insider told Radar Online. “She came very close to signing a contract, but ultimately decided not to. Producers were left in the lurch because they were confident that Angie would be on board.”

With filming already underway, a formal offer was made at the last minute to Taylor Armstrong. “She was moving back to Southern California from Colorado with new husband, John Bluher, and so it worked out. She definitely wasn’t a first choice, or even third,” the insider added.

Meanwhile, Kim Richards has been fired from the show.

However, “delusional Kim believes she is going to be asked back by Bravo. According to Kim, there are also multiple acting gigs lined up, but she offers no details on what those jobs are,” the source added.

Producers are hoping to add “two more very glamorous, wealthy women that will stir up the drama on the show,” the insider added.
