"It was a wonderful experience," Hilton said of the time she spent filming season 11 in 2020. 

"I went on a few different times [previously], but it was always in a very serious way," she recalled. 

As fans of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" well know, Hilton has made numerous guest appearances on the show in recent years because her two sisters, Kyle Richards and Kim Richards, have been featured on the show in full-time roles.

According to Hilton, she felt that those tuning into episodes of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" in the past believed she was a mean girl. 

"I think the fans always thought I was a b-tch or something, you know?" she asked. 

Then, she revealed that she made the decision to sign up for a part-time position on season 11 because she knew it would allow her to spend more quality time with her sister Kyle.

"I just thought this is an opportunity to spend some time with Kyle," she stated.

During a recent episode of "Watch What Happens Live," host Andy Cohen addressed Hilton's addition to the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" cast, saying that she brought a ton of fun.

"This season is super dramatic, but it is also so funny due in large part to one Kathy Hilton, who is a trip that I don't think any of us expected. I thought that Kim Richards was the motherlode of kind of lunacy, but Kathy is her own vibe, man," he said.
