Lisa Rinna has answered The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fans prayers by announcing her exit from the show after eight seasons. Fans have been calling for Lisa's removal from RHOBH for the past few seasons. Many have accused her of being a ringleader in the Fox Force Five (FFF) and going low to stir the pot. Lisa is also accused of having little-to-no storyline outside of picking feuds with the ladies who aren't a part of the FFF. Lisa had been teasing her return for RHOBH season 13. But apparently, that was all a bluff to possibly distract fans from the impending reveal.
Lisa just confirmed her departure from RHOBH after eight seasons with the Real Housewives franchise. "This is the longest job I have held in my 35 year career and I am grateful to everyone at Bravo and all those involved in the series," Lisa told People in a statement. "It has been a fun eight-year run and I am excited for what is to come!" Lisa has been a full-time housewife since RHOBH season 5. At the time of her debut, she buddied up with Kyle Richards and ignited a feud with her sister Kim Richards. Their feud resulted in the infamous glass-throwing moment during the cast trip to Amsterdam.
Lisa Rinna Has Feuds On & Off RHOBH
Over the years, Lisa has battled it out with Lisa Vanderpump, Denise Richards, Sutton Stracke, Garcelle Beauvais, and even Kathy Hilton. The onscreen feuds turn into real-life ones once Lisa takes to social media with her petty antics. Lisa has faced backlash for her online behavior, which many think is her way of keeping her name relevant and securing her spot on RHOBH. Last year, Lisa came under fire when she shaded The Real Housewives of Dubai while making a shady remark about Garcelle. Many fans took Lisa's shade as racist, which she responded to by telling fans to go watch RHODubai if they have an issue with the predominantly white RHOBH cast feuding with Garcelle, the show's only Black housewife.
As part of the FFF, Lisa has been at the forefront of drama involving Sutton and former RHOBH star Denise Richards. Many accused Lisa of pushing Denise off RHOBH after she seemingly entertained Brandi Glanville's claims of hooking up with Denise. Sutton was Lisa's target throughout RHOBH season 12. Lisa took offense to Sutton's claims of inviting her and Harry Hamlin to an Elton John charity event that Lisa claimed they were already invited to. No matter how many times Sutton apologized, Lisa took every opportunity to blast her co-star. Garcelle has also been a target since confronting Lisa about betraying Denise in RHOBH season 11.
The reality star manages to keep her name tied to RHOBH's main drama, so Lisa's absence will be felt. But with fans demanding her removal from RHOBH in recent years, there are few complaints about her departure. The FFF just lost a member, and many are wondering if more ladies will get the boot. Lisa's exit comes after Kathy said she would only return to RHOBH if two people leave, one being Lisa and the other being Erika Jayne. Now that Lisa has announced her exit, fans are wondering if Erika will be next. The two did just claim they were returning for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 13. It looks like they might've been trying to trick the fans.
