After 9 Seasons, Lisa Vanderpump Exits 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills'

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (TRHBH) has been an absolute favorite of many all this while and one of the major reasons for that has been Lisa Vanderpump. But it has officially been confirmed that Lisa is calling it quits on the show and will be exiting TRHBH after being a part of the show for 9 seasons.

According to a report in Variety, Vanderpump is quitting the show to focus her efforts towards her other Bravo reality series “Vanderpump Rules.” She had previously told the Daily Mail that she would not be returning and appeared to make good on her word by skipping the season 9 reunion which filmed on Thursday.

During a ceremony to unveil the “Real to Reel: Portrayals and Perceptions of LGBTQ’s in Hollywood” exhibit on Thursday, at which Vanderpump was being honored with the Legacy of Hollywood Award, Councilman Mitch O’Farrell introduced her as a real housewife, but Vanderpump set him straight.

“Not anymore,” she replied.

Season 9, which premiered on Feb. 12 and has currently aired 17 episodes to date, has proved to be a tumultuous one for the housewives. Prior cast members Erika Girardi, Dorit Kemsley, Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave, Kyle Richards, Lisa Rinna, and Vanderpump were joined by new housewife Denise Richards and her friend Camille Grammer for this latest edition.
