Beador joined the cast as a regular Housewife back in Season 9 in 2014, so this will be her fourth edition on the Bravo reality series.
Beador's storylines on the show are laced with drama, as her husband David Beador's affair was revealed on Season 10 and then the couple struggled to work things out the following season.
Beador also didn't get along with newcomer Kelly Dodd and her ex-friend Vicki Gunvalson. At one point, Gunvalson reportedly claimed David hit his wife, which Beador denied.
The news of Beador's involvement with the show follows numerous reports of Housewives either leaving or joining The Real Housewives for Season 12.
Lydia McLaughlin and Tamra Judge will both reportedly reprise their roles on The Real Housewives of Orange County, while Heather Dubrow and Meghan King Edmonds are leaving.
Dubrow confirmed her show departure after five seasons late last month, although she suggested she'd be open to occasional cameos.
"After a lot of careful thought and deliberation, I have decided not to return to RHOC this season. These past 5 years have been an incredible journey and I'm so proud to have been a part of such an iconic piece of pop culture," Dubrow told Bravo in a statement.
"I am so grateful to Evolution Media, Bravo and the whole NBCU family for all of the incredible experiences and the opportunities RHOC has afforded me and my family. However, at this point in my life, I have decided to go in another direction and do what's best for my family and career."
Judge all but confirmed her return to the show when she posted a photo of herself on social media wearing a trucker hat that read "#HOUSEWIFE" with the following hashtags in the caption: "#yes #stillahousewife."
The rest of the lineup has yet to be determined, according to Us, and Bravo declines comment on all casting rumors.
