LeAnn Rimes is responding to rumors that she'll be joining the Bravo family.

The 9-1-1: Nashville star, 43, was initially rumored to be boarding The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills following a post shared to the DeuxMoi Instagram account on Monday, May 4. In response, Rimes left a comment under an Instagram post from the Ringer Reality TV Podcast, reacting to host Rachel Lindsay expressing her own excitement about a potential Rimes appearance on RHOBH.

"Omg, dying! SCHOOL QUEEN 👸🏼 no, no…. no housewives for me," Rimes confirmed.

She added, "playing dixie on 911 nashville is drama enough for me 😂."

Rimes has played Dixie Bennings on 9-1-1: Nashville since its premiere in October 2025. In the clip from the Ringer podcast, Lindsay said Rimes' name was rumored to have been "floated around" for RHOBH, which has been airing on Bravo since 2010.

"I'll take it," Lindsay, 41, said.

The since-debunked casting rumor didn't go over as well with everyone else. Brandi Glanville, who boarded RHOBH in 2011, addressed the potential casting in an X post on Wednesday, May 6.

"I hope it's true about RHOBH I mean she got everything else of mine — husband, kids, boobs, bronco, random illnesses she might as well just be a housewife and finish it off once and for all," Glanville, 53, said.

Glanville's response appeared to reference the affair Rimes had with the reality star's ex-husband, Eddie Cibrian. Glanville and Cibrian, 52, share sons Mason Edward Cibrian, 22, and Jake Austin Cibrian, 19. Rimes and Cibrian tied the knot in 2011.

Rimes previously spoke about the fallout of her affair with Cibrian in a July 2025 interview with Flow Space, sharing that she "realized very quickly that there are a lot of women who've been hurt."

"Like, I've been on both sides of that coin — I've been cheated on, too, so I know that feeling,” she said. “But so many women don't know what to do with that anger… I was a target that was just easily projected upon. And once I realized that, things got a lot easier.”

As for Rimes' current role, the two-time Grammy winner told PEOPLE in October that she's open to Cibrian joining her in the 9-1-1 universe. “I would love it. Yes,” she said. “I know that we have talked about that, so hopefully we'll drag him on here soon.”
