The RHOBH alum reunited with her former castmate in an attempt to make amends.
Denise Richards and Erika Jayne have put an end to their extensive beef.
The reconciliation was captured in Season 1, Episode 3 of Denise Richards & Her Wild Things, nearly five years after the ladies’ unfortunate fallout. Hours before the episode premiered, Denise posted a behind-the-scenes look at her and Erika's much-anticipated sitdown at The Henry in West Hollywood.

“Tonight!!! Guess who’s stopping by…,” Denise captioned the carousel.
The post began with a shot of Denise sitting at a table waiting for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member to arrive. The following slides showed the former castmates having a heartfelt one-on-one about their yearslong feud.
“Thank you for having me on your show!” Erika wrote in the comments section. “That was fun!”
What led to Denise and Erika's friendship rift?
The drama between Denise and Erika began during RHOBH Season 10, after the former hosted a barbecue for her castmates and family friends. At one point during the event, the Housewives began discussing topics that made Denise uncomfortable, mostly because her kids and their friends were sitting at a nearby table. Denise eventually confronted Erika over the conversation, which led to their friendship rift.
The tensions continued throughout the following years, sometimes resulting in heated exchanges. But despite their past drama, the ladies were open to making amends.
Denise and Erika open up about their rocky history
“I think people are surprised that I get past stuff,” Denise said in the March 11 episode of her eponymous show. “I’m one of resolution. I’m one that you don’t hold a grudge. I move forward… Erika and I, we were starting to become friends and then, from there, it went super sideways for some reason... I just felt like there was still some unresolved crap. And I like to resolve things."
The episode then cut to Denise sitting at the restaurant shortly before Erika arrived.
“I’m so glad you met me,” Denise told her former castmate. “No really, it means a lot.”
Erika said she was also happy to meet with Denise, as she “never want[ed] any bad vibes.”
“I’ll never forget my first year of knowing you. We had so much fun,” Denise continued. “I like you so much and it really hurt my feelings that there was a shift in the dynamic of our connection. I didn’t know what I did.”
