"Bravo, Bravo, F--king Bravo" has quickly become "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" fans' most beloved line of this season but viewers aren't happy that the network is now trying to capitalize on Denise Richards' misery. Bravo just revealed that merchandise is now available to purchase with the famous statement on items like coffee mugs, alcohol flasks, sweatshirts and more, and while some are beyond thrilled that they can rep Denise's clever catchphrase, some of shaming the network for making money off of the star's torment.

Denise Richards has shouted out the phrase several times this season. Most recently, on Wednesday night's episode when she was finally confronted with Brandi Glanville's accusations that they had sex in a Northern California hotel room. Fans watched on the edge of their seats when Teddi Mellencampdropped the bombshell that the "RHOBH" alum spilled the beans about their alleged affair, claiming they hooked up multiple times. While Denise Richards clearly caught off guard, she denied Brandi's claims while holding back tears.
"Are you f--king kidding me?" she fired back at Teddi before adding that she's "going through so much stuff" that has "nothing to do with any" of the ladies or Bravo show."

When her co-stars began questioning Brandi Glanville's motives for lying, Denise Richards dropped her own bombshell by stating, "I will tell you, Brandi said that she's had sex with some of the people from this group." That's when she attempted to shut the conversation down by screaming "Bravo, Bravo, Bravo," and was called out by Dorit Kemsley.
"Honey, you have to stop saying that," she replied to Denise before claiming that she continuously states that hoping the network will decide not to air the clip. Not only is Bravo airing the scenes, but now they are trying to make money on it and it's leaving a bitter taste in viewers' mouths.

Posting the Instagram merchandise announcement on Thursday, July 30, Bravo stated, "Rep your love for Bravo, Bravo, F*cking Bravo with this merch from Shop by Bravo" and they are copping major backlash.
"So shady of @bravotv to take this and use it," one fan commented on the post. Other fans adamant that Denise Richards should get a cut of the profits. "I hope she's capitalizing off this too!" another person commented. "She better be getting a cut and a raise next season. Denise has been carrying the show on her back this whole time," added a third.
As of this post, Denise Richards has yet to throw her support towards the merch.
