"Bravo will proceed with the Monday, September 5 premiere date of 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,'" confirmed Frances Berwick, President, Bravo Media. "Given that these episodes were filmed months ago, the producers of the show taped a brief interview this week with several of the cast members to introduce the premiere. Re-editing of the episodes is still underway."

Berwick added, "Bravo has partnered with the Entertainment Industries Council, Inc. (EIC) to raise awareness about suicide prevention. The network will air various PSA's during the 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.' We will also provide additional information and resources on Bravotv.com, including the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline."



The decision comes in the wake of the suicide of series star Taylor Armstrong's husband, Russell Armstrong, who is also featured in the show.

"Our thoughts continue to be with the Armstrong family during this difficult time," said Berwick.
