Get ready for another big mouth on Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.”

Individuals close to the production have told TheWrap that Lisa Rinna is indeed joining the Bravo show for its fifth season.

Rinna will join returning cast members Lisa Vanderpump, Brandi Glanville, Kyle Richards, Kim Richards and Yolanda Foster. Presumably, she takes one of the open spots left behind by one-and-done cast members Joyce Giraud and Carlton Gebbia.

A Bravo representative declined to comment.

Reports that Rinna would join the Beverly Hills cast go back to more than a year now, ahead of Season 4. She has gone on record several times with denials that she’d ever want to join the show.

Rinna found fame in the role of Billie on daytime soap “Days of Our Lives,” which she played for decades on and off. She has also appeared on “Valerie,” “Melrose Place” and “Veronica Mars,” among many other television credits.

Pantheon, Gersh, Luber Roklin Entertainment, and Bloom Hergott Diemer Rosenthal Laviolette Feldman Schenkman & Goodman represent Rinna.
