Why did Lisa Rinna leave The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills? Rinna left The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills after Season 12 following seven seasons on the series.
In a statement to People in January 2023, Rinna confirmed that she left The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills after her contract expired at the end of Season 12 and mutually decided with Bravo for not to return after she weighed her options and business obligations. “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,” Rinna said. “It has been a fun eight-year run and I am excited for what is to come!”
In the premiere of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 13, the series included a screenshot of Rinna’s resignation email from Bravo. “I will not be renewing my contract and I will not be coming back to RHOBH. Thank you so much for 8 years!!!! All the best. Lisa,” the email read.
In an interview with ES Magazine in May 2023, Rinna revealed that she left The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills after her late mother, Lois Rinna, who died on November 15, 2021, came to her dream to advise her to quit the show. “Who wants to leave a job?” Rinna said. “But I think we all knew it was time. Eight years of that kind of show … What more could I have done, besides generate more memes?”
She continued of seeing he mothe in her dream, “She came to me. It’s so wild because half the world will believe this, half the world will say, ‘That’s so weird.’ I was sleeping, and I heard her say to me, ‘It’s time for you to go.'” “I told a psychic, and she said, ‘Oh yeah, she’s come to me and told me that. She wants you to be happy and follow your dream, but she says it’s time for you to go.’ I’m guided by my mom, for sure.”
She also hinted in the interview that part of the reason she left The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills was due to death threats from fans. “The way the fanbase reacts to the show now is not how it was when I first started,” she said. “I mean, we were getting death threats. Some of the most horrible things I’ve ever seen in print in my life, and it’s a reality show! It’s a stupid show! I thought, ‘It’s time to go.’ I’m not sure how much longer that can exist in the zeitgeist, to be honest with you.”
She continued, “I think the world itself has gotten so volatile that the response doesn’t match what we’re doing. I didn’t want to live like that. I don’t think that’s healthy.”
