Reality star Diana Jenkins may not be making an appearance on the reunion couch of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" alongside her co-stars and here's why.

Sanela Diana Jenkins recently joined the cast of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" in May 2022 for its 12th season. Off-screen, the reality star is a human rights activist, philanthropist, and entrepreneur.

However, Page Six reports that the 49 year old reality star may be MIA for the reunion episode, despite initially expressing her excitement to come back. A source revealed that Jenkins has tested positive for Coronavirus, following her recent vacation in Hawaii.

"Last week, she returned to LA from Hawaii to make preparations for the reunion. She had a couture dress fitting that she was very excited about," the source explained. "She believes she got COVID while traveling back to LA from Hawaii. She is still testing positive."

Another insider revealed that the "RHOBH" star was "disappointed" at the unfortunate turnout. However, Jenkins will be appearing on the reunion episode digitally through a video call.

"She's quite disappointed not to be able to do her first-ever reunion in person, and she would have loved to have been there - and be healthy - with the rest of the ladies," The insider disclosed to Page Six. "But, of course, she doesn't want to get anyone else sick."

Missed Her Long-Awaited Chance?

Initially, the reality star was "on a mission" to disprove and take legal action against the accusors tearing down her reputation.

Jenkins has been surrounded by controversy as rumors about her being involved with Jeffrey Epstein's human-trafficking circus began to circulate, to which she has started sending cease-and-desist letters to individuals and media outlets that are pushing this narrative.

She also expressed that she was very much looking forward to the "RHOBH" reunion as a "chance for her to clear some things up".

'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Fans' Reaction

Fans of the reality show took to social media and expressed their varying reactions to Jenkins' absence from the much-awaited reunion. Some netizens are condemning the reality star as a "one-and-done housewife".

Diana Jenkins doing the #RHOBH virtually? At least this all but confirms she's a one-and-done housewife. She'll go down amongst the show's biggest flops.

The "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" reunion will be hosted by Andy Cohen. The episode will feature alums Kyle Richards, Dorit Kemsley, Erika Jayne, Lisa Rinna, Crystal Kung Minkoff, Garcelle Beauvais, and more returning cast members.
