Lisa Vanderpump has officially quit Real Housewives of Beverly Hills according to Radar Online. Vanderpump reportedly has stopped filming all together and will not be returning to the Bravo hit reality series.
“She was dealing with grief, filming Vanderpump Rules, opening [new restaurant] TomTom, and running the Vanderpump Dog Foundation,” the insider explained to Radar. “She was not equipped to handle Housewives, even before the drama happened.”
According to Radar’s show insider, the drama between the Vanderpump and the other women, especially former best friends Kyle Richards and Dorit Kemsley has just become “too much” to deal with. It has been rumored that Lisa Vanderpump has become fed up being the show’s target and being bullied and harassed by Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast members.
“She has no plans to return to the show,” the insider told the outlet. “But who knows what the future holds.”
As previously reported, Denise Richards recently joined the cast of RHOBH and is expected to add nicely to the remaining cast members click.
There has also been rumors that Tori Spelling has also been approached to joining the Beverly Hills gang. Spelling’s potential reality series casting at Bravo has yet to come to surface and could have been yet another exaggeration brought on by Tori Spelling.
Lisa Vanderpump, however, plans on remaining a main focal point on her popular Bravo spin-off series Vanderpump Rules. The reality star also has big plans and recently announced a partnership with Caesars Palace to open Vanderpump Cocktail Garden in Las Vegas next year.
So just who will take over Lisa Vanderpump’s role as queen “B” of Beverly Hills? Many viewers expect to see Kyle Richard’s role on the reality series to begin taking more focus now that Vanderpump has left her throne.
Lisa Vanderpump did not respond to Radar’s call for comment. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is expected to return for season 9 in 2019.
