Lisa Vanderpump shares cryptic message amid reports she's quit 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills'
Lisa Vanderpump is “done” with The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Amid reports the Bravo star has left the franchise after eight years, Yahoo Entertainment can confirm that Season 9 will “likely be her last,” according to a source. However, fans will still see the restaurateur in the upcoming season.
“Lisa will appear in the majority of episodes this season,” a different insider tells Yahoo. “She has not been filming at every event, but fans can expect to see her throughout.”
Neither Bravo nor Vanderpump have commented, but the reality star offered up a cryptic tweet Wednesday.
Let’s just focus on the important things right now

News of Vanderpump’s impending exit shouldn’t come as a surprise to any Housewives fans who have been following the gossip reports amid filming. She has apparently refused to shoot with the majority of the cast — including (former?) friends Kyle Richards and Dorit Kemsley — and skipped out on the group’s trip to France this week.

Vanderpump also opted not to attend Camille Grammer‘s October wedding in Hawaii alongside her castmates. She also refused to participate in a group promo shoot and demanded to be shot separately, according to shade thrown by Lisa Rinna.
“Lisa has only filmed on a few occasions during the beginning of filming this season, and has been absent the remainder of the time,” a source told E! News. “She has been refusing to film and … her interactions with the ladies have been solely negative. Lisa has still not returned to filming, and as of now, has no plan to. It’s too far gone, and Lisa agrees that she shouldn’t return at this point.”
Vanderpump has been going through a hard time since the loss of her brother in May; however, she filmed her spinoff show Vanderpump Rules over the summer.
“She’s going through a lot right now,” a source told People last month. “It’s not been the best time for her.”
The new season of RHOBH will return to Bravo in early 2019.
